NVR RIOT 2
THURSDAY - 7/16/2018
NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ladies and Gentlemen this is NVR Wresting and Welcome to R!OT 2!

JUSTIN SEVILLE: McKayla it’s good to be back in the NVR Arena in Napa Valley! Two weeks ago we broke ground and set out on a history making journey. We saw some awesome professional wrestling and a glimpse at the future superstars training at Squire Merlot every day.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: You’re absolutely right Justin but tonight we’re really getting down to business as each match on the card will have championship implications! The winner of each match to ight will qualify to go on to compete for the NVR Championship. I’ve already seen a glimpse of the new Championship title belt and it is beautiful.

N—V—R!

N—V—R!

JUSTIN SEVILLE: I’ve received word that Samantha is with Jack Stanton whom is preparing for his match tonight.

BACKSTAGE...
The scene opens on Joe Stanton sitting on a steel chair with a plain wall behind him, in his ring gear and a Joe Stanton t-shirt. He nods to the camera with a smile.

JOE STANTON: For those of you unfamiliar with me, my name is Joe Stanton. I've been wrestling for fifteen years. In those fifteen years I've been fortunate for pro-wrestling to be very nice to me. I've wrestled on near every continent, all of the states in the US, I've wrestled in sixty two countries, I've wrestled for some of the top promotions in the world, and wrestled some of the top talent in the world.

Theatrically Stanton bows when he introduces himself, a montage of photographs of him throughout his career are superimposed over him temporarily as he mentions how long his career's been. Various promotions' logos, current and dead, pop up on the screen when he mentions promotions and a brief montage of clips of Joe versus some of the well known talent in the industry today is shown before returning to him on the chair.

JOE STANTON: I've been living off of professional wrestling since the third year of my career and in my travels I've done many interviews, many podcasts, not just for youtube but for magazines and things of that nature.

Another brief montage of Joe being interviewed by radio show hosts, youtube channels, and transcripts from magazines pop up.

JOE STANTON: And they always ask me a question, and that question is what are some promotions you'd like to work for? And I've answered it a million different ways, I've given a few answers each time, I can think of a lot of promotions that appeal to me in some way. But I always try to narrow it down. And over the last few months an answer came to me pretty easily.

Coy, Stanton shrugs his shoulders when he mentions the question and it's as he continues that while still smiling there's a change in his demeanor. Something more serious takes over in the undercurrent of him.

JOE STANTON: And based on the pedigree of the promotion it rose out of, the talent involved on the roster, that answer was Napa Valley Revolution Wrestling.

A hunger is sparked in the green eyes of Joe Stanton and he stifles his smile going lopsided into a smirk, maintaining his smile.

JOE STANTON: Now on July nineteenth in front of the Napa Valley, Californians I embark on not only my debut but potentially a very short or very long journey in the NVR Championship Tournament. In a tournament that sees the likes of Jimmy Pagan and Tenshi Van Santana, Red Tiger Kid, and Izzy Van Doren, sup Iz, my opponents and I have the esteemed honor of being the only triple threat qualifier. I won't speak for Jason Richards, nor Mimi but it suits me just fine, I didn't want things to be easy, if I did I'd have taken a desk job fifteen years ago. I live for a challenge, and I can't think of any better to introduce myself to the NVR fans to with than a renown grizzled veteran and a wunderkind standing between me and ending my debut on a high note.

Stanton calmly rises out of his chair, standing up and forcing the cameraman to pan slightly up to capture his face.

JOE STANTON: Richards, Mimi, let's set the tone.

Him walking out of the shot is a good indication as any for the cameraman to cut.

[NVR Staff]

BACKSTAGE...
Mimi is looking over her building wrestling schedule. Tag team match for CCCW and the trios tag team match against SILK, Manny and Trixie just announced. She’s got on a loose hanging tee and just about sets her bag down in the hallway to tie her lace when she spots a guest coming around the corner.

MIMI: No Way

The often described as evil smile from one Cyrus Riddle is seen as he approaches, holding his arms out as if making an entrance.

CYRUS: Man of my word, Mimi, I told you I would be here. Wouldn't miss it.

Mimi looks marginally impressed and stands back up.

MIMI: Came to see me take on Joe and James and nab the title shot tonight?

CYRUS: Absolutely did. I wanted to see the heart and determination up close and personal. How are you feeling?

Mimi exhales much like a jock, playing it cool.

MIMI: Cool, relaxed. Triple threat so I need to stay calm. Two top notch opponents.

CYRUS: Worry less about who they are, and focus on who you are and what you want.

He lowers his head, letting her know he's serious.

CYRUS: We both want to see you standing tall tonight. You're strong, resilient, and have more to offer.

MIMI: What they want is what I want, and that’s a Big Problemo.

Cy smiles, nodding and understanding where she is coming from.

CYRUS: Opportunity, Mimi. With two others in this match, you calculate and pick your spots. Sometimes it's best to let them fight and come in to capitalize.

MIMI: I know. And neither Joe nor James wants to be put in my sleeper hold.

She shakes her head as a little warning to Cyrus that she was pretty sprite with it.

CYRUS: It's a timeless move that's led to the downfall of many. A little trick… if you wrap your legs to squeeze their sides, they'll fall faster as it restricts the body from properly contracting the breaths. Could be useful.

MIMI: It is very useful. You’ll see it from the...front row right?

She wonders about his ticket. He holds it up and nods.

CYRUS: Courtesy of the Marvelous Mimi.

MIMI: Captain Marvelous Mimi.

CYRUS: Captain Marvelous Mimi, my apologies. I will indeed. The show looks great for tonight. Thank you for inviting me, by the way. It's nice to get away from my world and enjoy someone else's.

MIMI: You’re welcome. Here.

She passes him a few bills from her purse.

MIMI: Pick me and you something up from catering, I’m starved.

She pats her rumbling stomach. He shuffles the money between his fingers and hands it back.

CYRUS: Allow me…it's the least I can do for the future champion and face of NVR. Just tell me what you want me to get and it's yours.

MIMI: Sweet potato fries and a burger. Maybe a milkshake. Betsy has gotten me into them.

Cyrus looks moderately concerned at Mimi.

CYRUS: Before the match? Are you sure?

She frowns back at him.

MIMI: For after. I’m not going to pull a Kace Matthews.

Mimi refers to her CCCW debut where Kace took a timeout after tweeting about eating a burger.

CYRUS: Good idea… but I'll still get you something to calm the screaming from your stomach. I'll be back. You keep preparing.

MIMI: Alright. Catch you in a bit.

NVR CHAMPIONSHIP
TRIPLE THREAT QUALIFYING MATCH

★★★ MIMI ★★★
vs
★★★ JOE STANTON ★★★
vs
★★★ JASON RICHARDS ★★★

Mimi came out firing on all cylinders, flying across the ring and sending Jason Richards to the outside. But was caught from behind by Stanton with the devastating Anarnacirruh. Mimi lands awkwardly to her head, as Joe immediately turns his attention towards Jason. Leaping over the top rope and delivering a huge suicide dive. Driving him into the barricade.

The two men began to brawl from within the crowd. Mimi shoving away the medic, and leaps over the ropes and barricade and begins to give chase. Catching Jason, as he is about to deliver a DDT with a clothesline, sending both men crashing down to the ground. She lifts Joe and throws him into the crowd, sending him spilling into steel chairs.

In the ring, Jason was finally able to gain some offensive momentum being 1 on 1 with Mimi. His strong striking slowed Mimi to a stall. A series of near falls lead to Jason taking complete control of the match, but once Joe re-entered the ring, with a springboard elbow lead to a change in momentum.

In a battle between three equally talented competitors lead to Joe delivering a CATCH ME!!!! (Running Crossbody) to Mimi, trying to cover but she rolls out of the ring. He turns and catches Jason with a boot to the gut and drops him with the Funeral for a Son (Tombstone Piledriver). For the 1! 2! 3!

WINNER: Joe Stanton

BACKSTAGE...
Samantha Kinsley is standing by with a special guest.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Ladies and gentlemen, with me at this time is Red Tiger Kid.

Red Tiger Kid enters and bows to Samantha.

RED TIGER KID: Greetings, Ms Kinsley. I hope I do not offend you by saying how lovely you are looking this evening.

Samantha blushes a bit, but carries on.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Thank you, Kid. In recent weeks you have fought likes of the WTC Television Champion, JT Saint and former Seattle Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion, Billy Danielson. You walked into those matches as the clear underdog and blew away the expectations of a lot of people throughout the wrestling world. Tonight you walk into your match tonight against former ring crew member, Bobbo in a NVR Championship qualifying match. It would seem, perhaps for the first time in your career, you're walking in not as the underdog, but as the favourite to win. What are your thoughts going into this match.


RED TIGER KID: It is very true that Bobbo-san is not what you envision a wrestler to be like. His in-ring skills could be compared to under-cooked rice but from what I've seen of him, he seems to have a lot of heart. If there is one thing I should know better than many around here, it's that you never underestimate your opponents.

He slaps himself on the chest and smiles.

RED TIGER KID: Take myself for an example. When I first arrived here many viewed me as being little more than a clone of one of my mentors, Tiger Mask Red. I was mocked by many before I even had my first match because no one believed I could even compare with him, and they were right. I am not like Tiger Mask Red, are styles have very few similarities and I take risks that even he finds insane. Bobbo-san might seem to be unrefined inside the ring but that doesn't mean I can afford to view him as a threat when we stand across from the ring.

He turns to Samantha and offers her a slight bow.

RED TIGER KID: Ms Kinsley, you mentioned earlier that I've faced both Bill Danielson and JT Saint, two of the top stars in Seattle Pro Wrestling. Both those men will admit that perhaps they took me a bit more lightly they probably should have and I nearly beat them both. It would be foolish of me to underestimate Bobbo-san. A simple mistake could cost me my opportunity to move on to the next round of the NVR Title tournament. I cannot allow that to happen. I will not allow that to happen.

He stares intently at the camera.

RED TIGER KID: Bobbo-san, you appear to be a very nice gentlemen, but tonight I must defeat you if I want to follow on a similar path as my mentor did recently in the Emerald City Classic. Therefore, I apologise in advance for doing my best to kick your head from your shoulder and dropping the Supreme Flying Leg Drop of Doom on you for the one, two, three.

He looks back at Samantha.

RED TIGER KID: Perhaps I'll even introduce the world to what it looks like to watch an "Angel Falling Mach 5 into the Abyss". Either way, I intend to win tonight, but I do hope that Bobbo-san and I will become better acquainted afterwards.

He takes Samantha's hand in his and kisses it.

RED TIGER KID: And I hope that you and I will become better acquainted as well, Ms Kinsley.

Before she can say another word, Red Tiger Kid rushes off.

QUALIFYING MATCH
★★★ RED TIGER KID ★★★
vs
★★★ BOBBO ★★★

Red Tiger Kid looks across the ring at his opponent, hiding a smirk. He extends out a hand and Bobbo takes it and shakes it. The two men back away and begin circling the ring. A quick lock up goes to Red Tiger Kid, slipping the bigger man into a headlock. Bobbo struggles with the hold, RTK gives a tight squeeze then runs towards the ropes. Running up the turnbuckle and connects with a bulldog.

Bobbo, never truly got any offense in, other than a couple of stiff right hands that earned himself some respect. The match ended almost as quickly as it began as Red Tiger Kid dominated Bobbo, delivering The Supreme Flaming Leg Drop of Doom (Shooting Star Leg Drop) for the 1! 2! 3!

WINNER: Red Tiger Kid

EARLIER TONIGHT...
The screen goes black. The sound of feet shuffling into a room is heard over and over. An amplifier hum is heard and silenced when a guitar is plugged in. Drum sticks click together.

1!
-
2!
-
3!

A high tempo song with wailing guitars and booming drums. Video footage of a tattooed woman is laid over the music laying out opponent after opponent. The woman in the footage is Izzy Van Doren. The Punk Rock Princess shows up backstage in front of a dark brick background. Izzy scowls at the camera before smirking and finally letting the NVR audience hear her voice.

IZZY VAN DOREN: Last week, I was announced as the newest member of the NVR roster and I was welcomed far greater than I ever have been by my own family… And for that, fans, I thank you. All my years of training, all the bingo halls and warehouses I’ve been to, the hoping, the wanting, and the craving to get my one shot at a world championship… all the times I’ve sacrificed my body to get here, the scars I have…

“They all come to a head tonight when I step into NVR for the first time ever against Dayna Grace…”

“And you all are probably wondering what makes me so qualified to compete in NVR, let alone the NVR championship?”

Izzy smirks and looks down. Her fists start to ball, she looks at her tattoos.

IZZY VAN DOREN: I grew up in Chicago. I was kicked out of my home at 17. I found solace in the world of rejects. I became a wrestler. I went to Japan, competed in a Deathmatch tournament, stabbed my boyfriend with a pencil, and I drove Josh Kennedy’s head into C4 and I pinned the CWC World Champion.

Izzy looks pretty satisfied with that quick summary of her past year in the wrestling spotlight. It’s been a whirlwind of a year with highs and lows.

IZZY VAN DOREN: I have been a Tag Team Champion around the world. I am currently one of the most underrated Women’s performers out there.

IVD laughs to herself. She licks her lips and gives a sly, knowing look towards the camera.

IZZY VAN DOREN: And then there’s you Dayna…

Izzy sighs. She suddenly starts breaking out into a laughing fit to herself.

IZZY VAN DOREN: You actually think I fear some overzealous, overhyped Instagram model? I can’t go on Twitter without seeing your titties barely staying inside of a bikini, your ass hanging out of a thong, and don’t get me wrong there’s nothing bad about being a gorgeous, fiery, woman… but… there’s a lot, A LOT, of ‘do-nothing’ bitches running through wrestling isn’t there? Y’see I ain’t cool with that.

Izzy tugs on her heavily decorated vest, slightly pulling it open.

IZZY VAN DOREN: I’ve been twiddling my thumbs waiting for an opportunity. Y’see the people in charge, despite the fact I go out day and night and put on a hell of a show... they still have a tendency to overlook me. I don’t quite look the part. I don’t have the…

The camera pulls back as Izzy looks down at her chest. The camera quickly pulls back in as Izzy scowls and smirks.

IZZY VAN DOREN: Traits….

Izzy looks at the scars that run across her arms. She sees the pain she’s put herself through to get here. The barbed wire, the tacks, the bumps and bruises.

IZZY VAN DOREN: I’m not… viewer friendly… or marketable. Nah, they look for someone like you, Dayna. Blonde, a pair of tits and a big ass on a stick! That’s what gets the boys in the door. Not me.

Izzy’s glare grows. Her eyebrows are furrowed, her lips form a deep frown, as she sways back in forth in frame.

IZZY VAN DOREN: So tonight, Dayna I’m taking this opportunity not just to become NVR Champion… but to prove to the entire world that I am here. Everyone like me who’s been a reject their entire life. I will stand up for you. I will stand up for the ones in the shadows. I’ll be the voice of the overlooked. I’m the type of person who’ll stand up for what they believe in and fight until the war is won.

Izzy toughens up. Her dry voice gets darker and she starts to get that inner rage flowing.

IZZY VAN DOREN: Dayna, if you think I’m just going to let this little moment pass by, you are sadly mistaken. I have worked too damn hard and too damn long to get here. I want you to take a good long hard look at these scars on my body. I’ve collected them over a long time. I want you to understand that every single one of these has a story. Broken glass, broken tables, broken dreams. They’re not decorations, they are declarations. Declarations that I am one of the toughest bitches in wrestling today! Look at the damage I’ve been through, Dayna… Now, I survived all of this… what makes you think you can keep me down? It’s not going to be easy. Hmph… See ya out there.

Izzy exits as the camera pans down and fades to black.

QUALIFYING MATCH
★★★ IZZY VAN DOREN ★★★
vs
★★★ DAYNA GRACE ★★★

Two of the toughest women in NVR go head to head. Back and forth they go, Izzy delivering huge right hands, but Dayna answers with a few of her own backing Izzy into the corner. Lifting her onto the top rope, Dayna leaps into the are and delivers a hurricanrana from the top rope. Izzy stumbles into the rope, and Dayna sends her to the outside.

While on the outside the Punk Rock Princess took control of the match and never looked back. Using the environment the to her advantage as she whips Dayna back first into the barricade. Following it up with a huge right hand that sends her to the ground.

Back and forth the two women went, wowing the crowd with the high paced offense. But it was the Adios Amigos! (Headlock Driver) from Izzy that finally kept Dayna Grace down for the 1! 2! 3!

WINNER: Izzy Van Doren

DURING THE BREAK...
Xander Jones is seen getting ready for his match with Rivers Jhack King. He turns around seeing Kinsley behind him.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: Xander last time we spoke you told me why you chose NVR. Now for your first match its for a chance to become the Champion. Can I get your thoughts?

XANDER JONES: My only thought is Im ready to out and secure the bag. Show everyone just why Napa Valley had choice but to sign me. On top of all that can gain a shot at the NVR Championship. Now Im not going to lie this would be my first title should...or when I win it.

SAMANTHA KINSLEY: In order to even start you’ll have to…

XANDER JONES: Go through Jhack King. I know, believe me this has been on my mind since it was announced. Im ready...beyond ready. I was born Ready. Chi-Town Hustla…

Xander Jones walks out of the frame leaving Kinsley alone as the scene fades out.

NVR CHAMPIONSHIP
QUALIFYING MATCH
★★★ RIVERS JHACK KING ★★★
vs
★★★ XANDER JONES ★★★

From the sound of the bell Xander Jones and Rivers Jack King were exceeding expectations. In a highly competitive match the two combatants would trade control of this bout. One of the highlights of this match took place when King countered a Death Valley Driver by Jones into an arm bar submission.

Xander Jones would manage to break the grasp on the arm-bar but would spend the remainder of the match favoring his right arm. Rivers Jhack King would show his strength with a gorilla press slam but Xander Jones would counter his signature Demise of the Crown snap brain-buster with a knee to the head.

The Chi-town Hustla would make a strong comeback just as any hero would. First a running knee to the face of King, then a Disasterpiece double foot stomp to the chest followed by the hook of the leg for 1...2...3!

WINNER: Xander Jones
MATCH LENGTH: 23:56

[NVR Staff]

BACKSTAGE...
We open on a room, somewhere in the arena. A dark fog begins to roll in, as the lights begin to flicker. A strange presence can be felt as the darkness becomes all consuming, ultimately devouring the fragments of light that have struggled to survive. Laughter comes from the darkness, the laughter of a Legion of dark entities. The laughter becomes maniacal and uncontained, as footsteps can be heard. The disembodied laughter suddenly stops, as The less Bastard slowly walks into view. He sneers dementedly into the camera, as he begins to speak.

JIMMY PAGAN: July 4th, you all caught your first glimpse of the wreckage that is I, but allow me to formally introduce myself to all of you. I am the iconoclast that shall bring this company into the truest form of reality. I am the reprobate that shall devour your sins, and allow you to walk amongst all of the s and desses. I am the champion of all that is bastardized and vilified.

“I am Jimmy Pagan, and this is the beginning of your end.”

His devilish smile grows from ear to ear, as voices behind him repeat words like “Bastard”, “Reprobate”, and ‘Iconoclast”. He grabs his head, as the voices quiet back down, and he begins to talk again.

JIMMY PAGAN: Think of me a freak. Think of me as just another weirdo who talks to himself. Think of me however you want. Your opinions do not quiet silence the demons that I have faced. Look down upon me, with your hypocritical morals, and your ideals of what a hero and champion should look like, because I have dealt with that my entire life.

“Whether it was the lies told to me by my family, or the shadows cast upon me by the egos of others, I will always find solace in the destruction I cause and the devils that have blessed me with their cries for battle. I have been burdened with the glorious purpose of returning this world to the reality it once knew. I am here to return all of the sins of this world, and bury you all underneath them.”

The voices return, this time repeating “Devils”, “Bury”, and “Sins”. Pagan’s head begins to shake uncontrollably, as his eyes roll back into his head. The voices grow louder as they now only repeat one word “devil”, “Devil”, “DEVIL”. The get louder, and they get more distorted as they get louder.

Suddenly they stop, and Jimmy is back to normal, looking as if nothing had happened.

JIMMY PAGAN: Welcome Napa Valley! Welcome valiant warriors! Welcome all of you to the dawning of a new era in professional wrestling. An era where servitude is relinquished, and the nepotism of the s are abolished. An era where the only perspective is one of pain and anguish, where everyone is baptized by the Blood of the Damned

“Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Bastard Era.”

The voices chatter, as Jimmy Pagan puts his face into the camera. The camera can only pick up the skull half of Jimmy’s face, as his eye turns from blue, to white, to black. The chattering grows louder, as he begins to laugh maniacally. His voice gets louder, as he begins to laugh and scream out his next few sentences.

JIMMY PAGAN: Know that these halls have now become hallowed in my name. This arena is my cathedral, the ring is my altar, and all those that stand before me shall be my sacrifices. Whether on your knees or on your back, you will all fall before the glory of the Bastard Era.

Jimmy recomposes himself, as his eyes return to their natural color. However, a black liquid seems to be dripping from his ears, nose, and even his eyes. The voices continue to be loud, screaming profanities and obscenities, some in other languages. Pagan merely smirks, and goes into a Christ-like Pose

JIMMY PAGAN: Tonight, Tenshi will succumb to these truths, just like Jim Davis before him. Don’t pray to your s, Tenshi, because it’s already too late. You are the next lamb who shall be slaughtered in the name of the Bastard Era, as I continue my quest for Blood and Gold.

“Weep not, for your struggle won’t be in vain!”

The laughter becomes to loud now, as Jimmy Pagan joins in. He drops to his knees, laughing, as the liquids continue to pour from his face. The darkness slowly devours him, along with everything else, until he is completely shrouded in darkness, and just another disembodied voice. The darkness soon begins to dissipate, and the laughter fades with it. The only thing left in the room is a picture of Tenshi van Santana with an upside down, red cross crudely drawn on his face, and his eye holes poked out.

MAIN EVENT
NVR CHAMPIONSHIP
QUALIFYING MATCH
★★★ JIMMY PAGAN★★★
vs
★★★ TENSHI VAN SANTANA ★★★

"What's up, people?!" by Maximum the Hormone plays over the PA, we hear an engine revving somewhere behind the curtain. Before anyone has much time to ponder what's going on back there, Tenshi Van Santana rides out on a motorcycle. As the crowd cheers for Santana, he puts one foot on the ground to stop himself and spreads his arms wide in a Jesus Christ pose.

GRAHAM STEVENS: This Match is for ONE FALL and it is an NVR Championship Qualifying Match! Introducing first from Monterey Bay, California weighing in at one hundred and sixty eight pounds. He is the ‘Guardian Angel’...TENSHI—VAN—SANTANA!

A couple revs of the engine later, and Tenshi rides down the entrance ramp, giving out high-fives to those who reach close enough while A.J. covers the ones Tenshi misses. Once Tenshi gets close enough to the ring, he starts to lean the motorcycle back until he's popped a wheelie, then climbs up to the handlebars and leaps at just the right time to jump straight to the top rope and subsequently roll forward into the ring. Once Tenshi pops back up to his feet, he throws up the devil horns to the crowd, then goes back into the Jesus Christ pose again for a moment before going to his corner to wait for his Tag Team partner.

“Devil in I” by Slipknot plays, as the lights in the arena seemingly begin to malfunction. The arena fills with black smoke, as the music begins to slow down. Through the bottom of the stage, with the smoke and sporadic lighting, Jimmy Pagan slowly rises to the top. He stands there menacingly, as the chorus approaches.

GRAHAM STEVENS: Now introducing the challenger from Beverly Hills, California weighing in at two hundred and twenty pounds...JIMMY—PAGAN!

When the music picks back up again, the “less” Jimmy Pagan bursts to life. He charges to barricades, terrifying some of the fans as he makes his way down to the ring. The music slowls down again, as he too, starts moving corpse like, as he slowly enters the ring. He hangs himself in the tree of woe, and spreads his arms out, so that his body makes an upside down cross. He sneers dementedly into the camera with his staring from over his shoulder.

The bell sounds and immediately Tenshi is staying low to the ground when he goes for Jimmy’s right leg and takes him down with a dragon screw. Tenshi gets back and stays low, waiting for his opponent to rise and looking for a new angle, and when that opportunity presents itself, he lands another one, this time to the left leg. Again, Santana retreats, but this time, he gets behind Pagan, and when the Demonic Playboy rises, confused as to where Tenshi went, Tenshi gives him the answer by bringing Jimmy down with a neck breaker. One fluid transition later, the Guardian Angel has Pagan caught in a triangle choke and struggling for air, but luckily for Jimmy, the ropes aren’t far away, and he gets one foot on them to force the break before he things get too dire.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Up North in Seattle Pro we saw Jimmy Pagan team with Tenshi Van Santana for the first time in a loss to Trixie and Silk. It was obvious that this was definitely a bad pairing mainly based off of Pagan’s actions.

Both men rise to their feet and Tenshi and Jimmy trade a series of fast paced strikes. Santana tries for a palm strike, but Pagan counters, catching Tenshi’s arm underneath his armpit. Jimmy takes his other hands, and grabs Tenshi’s nose, while simultaneously shoving his fingers into Santana’s eyes. The ref tells Jimmy to let go, and begins to count. 1… 2… 3… 4…. Jimmy whips Tenshi into the ropes, follows him, and springboards off the ropes with a psych-out enziguri! Tenshi grabs the back of his head, as Jimmy covers him for 1...2...KICKOUT!

JUSTIN SEVILLE: He left him feeling all dazed and confused after that last series of attacks!

Tenshi rolls out of the ring and retreats to the area by his corner, where Morales is already waiting for him. The two huddle up as A.J. starts giving strategic advice. Jimmy, meanwhile, rolls out of the ring himself and runs to catch Tenshi from behind, but A.J. looks up just in time to see the Demonic Playboy coming.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Morales may be his mentor but this isn’t boxing and you can stop the match in progress to discuss strategy.

A.J. MORALES: GET DOWN!

Tenshi looks over his shoulder, and mentor and mentee duck under Jimmy’s discus elbow just in time. Santana throws a palm strike to Pagan’s gut on instinct, which creates a couple extra steps’ distance.

JUSTIN SEVILLE: These guys need to take this back inside the ring.

TENSHI VAN SANTANA: I got this!

A.J. gets back, and Jimmy starts throwing chops and palm thrusts Tenshi’s way, but Tenshi fends them off with deflecting palm strikes until he sees an opening to counter with a shot to Jimmy’s solar plexus. Pagan freezes up, and that gives Tenshi the chance to pull Jimmy in and whip him back with—CLANG! A fisherman suplex onto the stairs! Jimmy clutches his back in pain as Tenshi slides into the ring and starts playing to the crowd before waiting for Jimmy to climb back in the ring.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Pagan freaks me out like seriously.

Jimmy Pagan climbs onto the apron and drives a forearm to the jaw of Tenshi. Jimmy scales to the top rope, looking to jump onto Tenshi, but Santana runs up and hits Pagan with a rope assisted pelee kick. Jimmy slumps down on the top turnbuckle, as Tenshi slowly climbs onto the top turnbuckle to join Jimmy. He’s looking for Psychedelic Violence (Spanish Fly), but Jimmy starts to wiggle out. Tenshi jumps, holding Jimmy, but BOTH MEN LAND ON THEIR FEET! Tenshi looks at Jimmy with a scared look, as Jimmy smiles dementedly. Pagan with a headbutt, as Santana stumbles backwards. Pagan does “cut-throat” with his thumb, as he hits the ropes... ABYSS KICK (Sick Kick)! Cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

JUSTIN SEVILLE: He nearly had him with that Abyss Kick.

Pagan lets himself out onto the apron, preparing to launch himself back in, but Tenshi has other plans. The Guardian Angel kicks Jimmy in the stomach, then runs to the ropes on the opposite side of the ring, comes back, leaps over the top rope...SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB TO THE OUTSIDE! Even Tenshi can’t seem to believe he landed that! With A.J. urging him on, Tenshi grabs Jimmy by the back of the neck and brings his opponent back in the ring, then slides in himself and goes for the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Tenshi lifts Pagan to a knee.

Looking behind him Santana does a does a handspring off the ropes, looking for an enziguri, but Pagan rolls out of the way. Tenshi lands in a superhero pose, but Jimmy grabs him up, and throws him out of the ring through the middle ropes. Pagan waits for Tenshi van Santana to stand up, as he dives out to his opponent with a springboard tornillo! Pagan lets out a demented howl, as he grabs Tenshi by the head, and stands banging it into the hard ringside floor! Tenshi tries to get out, but Jimmy lifts his head up, and takes a bite into the forehead of Santana. Tenshi lets out a yell as he is thrown back into the ring, and Jimmy slides into the cover for 1...2...NEARFALL!

JUSTIN SEVILLE: I thought it was over just then.

Jimmy lifts him to his feet and throws a stiff right hand, but Tenshi’s ready for it. Blocking the shot and shoving the bastard into the ropes, on the rebound he dropkicks Jimmy with enough force to send him reeling all the way to the corner. Tenshi crawls to his feet, and he recognizes the opportunity well enough to take it immediately. He runs to the corner opposite of Jimmy, then comes charging all the way back across the ring and...BAM! CRIME OF VISUAL SHOCK! That running knee had plenty of Tenshi’s old opponents seeing stars, and Jimmy is no exception, as he takes it right to the cheek, and his head has nowhere to go but the turnbuckle pads.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: One of these wrestlers will qualify to challenge for the NVR Championship and the other...well their going home empty handed.

Tenshi stops a moment to catch his breath and spread his arms wide for the fans, then returns to Pagan, drags him away from the ropes, and covers him for 1...2...KICKOUT!!

JUSTIN SEVILLE: Tenshi is a fan favorite here in the NVR Arena!

Both men are down…first man to his feet is Pagan. He takes a minute then reaches down at the prone Tenshi, AND GETS CAUGHT! Tenshi grabs Jimmy in a triangle, but Jimmy rolls him up. Tenshi let’s go for a split second, but kips up instantly, and grabs Pagan’s wrist, dragging him towards the turnbuckle. Tenshi starts to walk the ropes, and takes Jimmy down with a hurricanrana. Tenshi follows up, hitting the ring, looking for something big, BUT JIMMY COUNTERS! Jimmy dropkicks Tenshi in the knee, making him hit the mat hard. Jimmy grabs Tenshi, going behind, and hitting Black Hole Sun (Double-Chickenwing Gut Buster) and falls into the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Reveling in the crowd’s boos, Jimmy strafes around Tenshi with bloodlust in his eyes.

The Demonic Playboy leaps at the Guardian Angel, looking to perform the same Grand Rite that beat Jim Davis...wait, wait, Tenshi jumps to meet it—OH MY ! Santana catches Pagan in midair and flips him around with a Spanish fly!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: PSYCHEDELIC VIOLENCE!

Tenshi immediately holds Jimmy down for the cover for 1...2...KICKOUT!

JUSTIN SEVILLE: How the hell did Tenshi land that?!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Another question is how the hell did Pagan kick out!

Tenshi looks around, trying to ascertain where he is in the ring, and once he knows, he springs back into action. A.J. starts pounding the apron, inspiring a steady clap from the audience while Tenshi grabs an arm and a leg of Jimmy’s to drag the Demonic Playboy into position near the ropes, then lets himself out on the apron and grabs the top rope, steadying himself…

Tenshi vaults up to the top and launches into the air, coming down on Pagan’s torso with the ORIGINAL SI…JIMMY PAGAN CATCHES HIM! Pagan pops up from out of nowhere, catching Santana with the Grand Rite (Jumping Reverse STO)! Jimmy drapes a leg over the chest of Tenshi, and hooks both legs for 1...2...3!

JUSTIN SEVILLE: Pagan did it! Pagan qualifies for the NVR Championship match!!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: And here is your winner by pinfall at twenty two minutes, forty seven seconds…JIMMY PAGAN!

Pagan rolls off of Tenshi and refuses the officials attempt to raise his arm in victory. He rolls out of the ring to the apron and stands with his back against the ropes looking up the aisle way sadistically raising both arms while looking down at the floor. The lights dim as the camera focuses in on the face of Jimmy Pagan.

MCKAYLA LEWIS: Ladies and Gentlemen we’ve made a lot of progress here tonight moving forward to crown the first ever NVR Champion! Congratulations to Joe Stanton, Red Tiger Kid, Izzy Van Doren, Xander Jones and Jimmy Pagan on qualifying to challenge for the NVR Championship in two weeks!

JUSTIN SEVILLE: For those who were not as fortunate to qualify don’t hang your heads just yet. In two weeks at R!OT 3 there will be a Last Chance Battle Royal to determine the final participant in the NVR Championship Grand Prix!

MCKAYLA LEWIS: That’s all for tonight folks we’ll see you at R!OT 3!
