The arena is drowned by boo’s as a familiar opening riff to an AC/DC song blasts around the Best Arena.
Joe Hoffman: WHAT??
“Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” by AC/DC plays and, none other than, The Gold Standard, John Sektor, struts out onto the top of the ramp. He looks out at the crowd with a big, shit eating, grin as they hammer him with hate.
Joe Hoffman: What is HE doing here? He’s just signed with UTA!
Benny Newell: FUCKING TRAITOR!!! SECURITY!!!
Joe Hoffman: Benny, he owns the security, remember?
Benny Newell: Then fetch me my twelve-gauge..NOW!!
He enjoys the hate for a moment, before reaching his hands down to the bottom of his t-shirt and ripping it off. The volume inside the arena doubles as he reveals a UTA T-Shirt.
Benny Newell: WHAT A FUCKING SHITBAG…COCKSUCKER…CUNT…TWAT…QUIM…NI..
Joe Hoffman: Are just a few of the words he WONT be able to say at UTA.
Heading down the ramp he taunts the crowd with nothing more than his arrogant smile, before stepping behind the desk and grabbing a pair of headphones. Benny and Joe just glare at him in bemusement and Benny’s hand is shaking as he snatches his bottle of Jack. As the music dies down the crowd begin to chant in full chorus.
Crowd: YOU SOLD OUT!! YOU SOLD OUT!! YOU SOLD OUT!!
Sektor just nods and smiles, giving them all a royal wave as he takes his seat next to Joe at the commentary table.
John Sektor: Evening gents..
Joe Hoffman: John Sektor joining us ladies and gentlemen. John, this IS a surprise. I thought you’d left for the UTA?
John Sektor: I’ve joined the UTA to WRESTLE, and compete…but I am still a part of this company as a Hall of Famer, and if I want to show up and support my good friend Scott Stevens, then that’s my right to do so.
Benny Newell: Faggot!..Oh, apologies..are you going to get all butt hurt like your UTA pals?
Sektor just smirks.
Joe Hoffman: Knock it off, Benny! Sektor, what’s made you make this decision to go compete there? Are you not happy, I mean what’s the deal?
John Sektor: Look, if you wanna know why I’m joining the UTA then tune into Wrestleshow this Sunday, 8pm CST. Otherwise, this High Octane Wrestling, this is a WORLD title match and THAT’s what we’re all here to talk about..
As if on cue, the lights in the arena go pitch black, as red lasers and spotlights light up the area. The video screen lights up and flashes across the screen a Texas flag, with the words, “Texas Born. Texas Bred.” “Texas Forever.“ branded into the flag. The crowd reaction is mixed, but there are more cheers than boos, as a piano calmly plays throughout the PA system and “Til I Collapse” by Eminem begins to play. The cheers intensify as the chorus hits the speakers, drawing out the man from Texas. Walking down the aisle, he fists bumps some of his fans while raising a fist at a few of the more vocal bashers. As he finally gets to the ring, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stares down at John Sektor, who is on his feet behind the announce table, clapping with support. He even motions around his own waist and then points at Stevens to insinuate that the titles going to him.
John Sektor: COME ON, Stevens!
Stevens gives his former team mate and mentor a nod before hopping down and testing the ropes, eyes focussed and looking as though he is in the proverbial ‘zone.’
Joe Hoffman: Huge night for Scott Stevens. This is a do or die situation for him. Do you think he has what it takes to beat Tara tonight, John?
Ben Newell: Don’t talk to this fucking scumbag. He’s cheating on us with the next door neighbour Joe!
John Sektor: You know what Benny? I know you’re just lashing out right now, because you’re hurt that I’m not wrestling here any more. But all you have to do is watch the UTA shows to see you’re favorite wrestler in action..
Benny Newell: What? I…you fuck..
John Sektor: To answer your question, Joe. I absolutely think Stvens has a chance tonight. I’m about the only person around here who believes him. All he has to do is stay focussed, not over think shit and remember the guy he was when he first came here. That’s the advice I gave him when I first took him under my wing. Now let’s see if he remembers it.
As Stevens eagerly awaits his opponent, Blood-In this Moment, hits the PA system. The crowd begins booing, but with nowhere near the level of hatred that Sektor received.
Benny Newell: Here she comes, MY..
John Sektor: You know, I’ve never enjoyed having an opponents thighs wrapped around my face more than I have hers..
Benny Newell: THAT does it..
Benny jumps out of his seat and rips off his headset, slamming it down on the table and leaving Joe looking extremely shocked and confused.
Benny Newell: I aint sitting near this fucking treacherous turncoat any longer…I’m DONE!
Sektor laughs to himself as he watches Benny storm away from the announce table, and even leans over to grab his bottle of Jack Daniels. He goes to take a sip but ‘Big Buff’ snatches the bottle out of his hands and carries it away with him towards the backstage area, mumbling profanities under his breath.
Joe Hoffman: Guess it’s just you and me..
John Sektor: I guess so..
Tara is already down at the ring by this point, stood with her back against the ropes on the outer canvas, stroking the gold plate of the World title seductively as though its her lover, before unstrapping it and lifting it high above her head. Stevens narrows his eyes, looking hungry as he keeps them locked onto her whilst she enters the ring.
With the music fading out, Bryan McVay climbs into the ring as the two competitors take their positions in their respective corners. Both stand inside the ‘O’ of the HOW logo’s in their corner.
Bryan McVay: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the High Octane Wrestling, WORLD, CHAMPIONSHIP!!
Big cheers from the crowd.
Bryan McVay: Introducing first, the challenger, hailing from somewhere in Texas, weighing in at two hundred and fifty six pounds and standing at a formidable six feet and six inches…the Scorpion….SCOTT STEVENS!!!
Big cheers of encouragement from the crowd as Stevens lifts a single arm into the air, all the while keeping his eyes locked on Tara’s.
John Sektor: He looks focussed tonight, Joe. It’s put up or shut up time for this mother fucker and he knows it!
Joe Hoffman: Stevens is arguably the hardest working wrestler in the company. Could all that hard work pay off tonight and a dream be fulfilled?
Bryan McVay: And his opponent, Standing at five feet and one inch and tipping the scales at one hundred and twenty pounds…she is the reigning and defending High Octane Wrestling World champion…TARA-MICHAELS-DAVVVVVIIIIIIIIIIDSOOOOOOON!!
Nothing but boo’s for the Red Queen as she calmly smiles and flicks back her hair, lifting her beloved title above her head. Referee Joel Hortega then comes to take the title off her, and she looks quite reluctant to give it to him.
Joe Hoffman: Massive height and weight difference between these two. But Tara has always managed to find a way to beat Stevens and she’s World champion! Huge achievement, and no matter what you think of her as a person, you have to admire her.
John Sektor: You know the biggest thing I noticed in that ‘tale of the tape,’ Joe?
Joe Hoffman: What’s that?
John Sektor: That she’s a fucking WOMAN!
Joe Hoffman: What’s that got to do with anything? She beat you not so long ago?
Sektor just ignores that comment as Stevens finishes getting acquainted with the World title. Satisfied that all the formalities have been completed, Hortega calls for the bell to start the match.
DING DING!!
Both competitors begin to circle one another in the ring, Tara looking relaxed and Stevens poised and ready.
Joe Hoffman: This is it! Stevens wants it. He’s dreamed about it. He’s thought about this moment a thousand times but now it’s finally here. Can the Scorpion finally win the World title? Or will Tara, yet again, trump him and crush his dreams..
John Sektor: Only a foolish man would bet against Tara at the moment. But let me tell you something, Scott Stevens always turns it up to eleven in matches like this. Just look at him in that ring, Joe. You can see he wants this more than she does. All he has to do is pull the TRIGGER tonight and his career heads straight for the moon.
The champion makes the first move, lunging forward and dropping to one knee, feinting an attack which causes Stevens to recoil. She then backs off and circles him a little longer, trying it again but this time Stevens boots her square in the face. The fans erupt and begin to chant his name, lending him maximum support as he opens up on her with rights and lefts as he mounts her on the canvas.
John Sektor: That’s it Stevens! Smack the shit out of that bitch!
Joe Hoffman: Stevens has exploded here in the early goings, firing in punches at rapid speed and causing the champion to curl up into a protective ball.
Most of the shots are deflected off Tara’s arms so Stevens grabs her by the hair and yanks her up to her feet screaming. He pulls her into a front waist lock and spins her one-eighty before slamming her down hard on the canvas.
John Sektor: BOOM, big time Belly to Belly slam. Shades of John Sektor!
Joe Hoffman: And with the wind knocked out of her sails, Stevens comes off the ropes, jumping up..OH! Jumping knee to that pretty face of Tara’s!
Tara, rolls around on the canvas, holding her head. Stevens comes back towards her and stoops down, but she throws a wild leg up and catches him on the forehead, sending him staggering.
Joe Hoffman: Great ring awareness from the champion there. Knowing where her opponent is, even after taking that knee drop.
Tara gets back to her feet and charges at Stevens, but he ducks down and lifts her up and over to the outside, causing her to land on her face.
Joe Hoffman: OHHH! Tara just hit the concrete hard with that landing!
John Sektor: Good thing the bitch has air-bags..
Tara holds her mid section as she gets up to her feet, not realising that Stevens is clutching the ropes on the inside of the ring and waiting.
John Sektor: Watch out butter-cup! A Two hundred and fifty pound slice of Texas is about to come your way!
Stevens vaults himself up and over the ropes, but Tara side steps and allows the big Texan to meet the concrete in a similar fashion to what she did. She then kicks him in the back of the head for good measure.
Joe Hoffman: Again, great awareness from the champion. No tentative start to this match, John. Intense action right from the get go..
John Sektor: That’s his style and that’s how he operates. He’s trying to set the pace for this match and take Tara out of her comfort zone, and he was doing well. I just hope he doesn’t lose too much momentum here.
Stevens gets to his knees but Tara kicks him in the midsection, causing a sickening sound as her shin echoes off his lungs. She then hits him with another, and another, and another..
John Sektor: Break that cunts leg will ya!
Joe Hoffman: You won’t be able to use language like that soon..
John Sektor: I know, that’s why I’m getting it out of my system now.
Tara quickly rolls in and out of the ring to reset the count out, looking to go back in for another kick. But Stevens captures her leg. Her eyes bulge like a deer trapped in headlights as Stevens holds her leg and shakes his head. Tara, thinking quickly, hits him round the side of the head with an enziguri, causing the Texan to flop down onto the concrete.
John Sektor: Come on, Stevens, get it together man.
Joe Hoffman: She’s deadly with those feet of hers..
Tara climbs onto the outer canvas, waiting for Stevens to get to his feet before leaping off with her legs spread, wrapping them around his face as she lands. She leans back to try for a hurricarana, but Stevens holds himself upright. He then yanks her body back up so that she’s sat on top of his shoulders.
John Sektor: Using his strength to his advantage right now!
Stevens then proceeds to powerbomb her spine first against the side of the ring, causing the fans to erupt with yells of anguish, before the obligatory “Holy-Shit” chants break out.
Joe Hoffman: GOOD LORD! Stevens may have just broke her back!
John Sektor: It takes that level of ruthlessness to win World title Joe and Stevens realises this. I had to smash Mike Best’s skull repeatedly with a rock to take the World title off him. Broken back, broken neck, certain death…it doesn’t matter. Getting the job done is all that matters right now and my boy is coming up with the goods.
Stevens has her back in the ring and drags her by the hair into the middle. He picks her up to her feet as though she’s weightless and executes a gut-wrench suplex.
Joe Hoffman: Oh, back onto that back!
John Sektor: It’s the position she’s most familiar with Joseph..
Stevens continues to dominate, tossing her around the ring with various suplex’s, earning himself several two counts.
John Sektor: He’s throwing her around that ring for fun now. He’s making me believe, Joe.
Joe Hoffman: One thing you can believe, is that Tara has one or two more tricks up her sleeve.
John Sektor: By sleeve..you mean vagina, right?
Stevens has Tara up again, and she tries to fights back with a couple of weak swings of the fist, but Stevens fastens her into a fisherman position and slams her back down, bridging for a pin.
UNO
DOS
TRE..
Joe Hoffman: Just manages to kick out in time. Tara is in serious trouble here as the hungry challenger takes her apart piece by piece. You must be beaming with pride right now watching this?
John Sektor: I certainly am, Stevens is doing an incredible job so far. But he can’t afford to switch off, even for a second.
Stevens rushes to pick her up, but Tara mule kicks him in the gut and causes him to double over. She comes off the ropes but Steven’s spots her and brings her down to the canvas with a simple drop toe hold, picking up her legs and locking in the sharpshooter.
Joe Hoffman: Arachnophobia!
John Sektor: I probably should have spoken to him about choosing names for his moves that aren’t a fucking ball ache to say..never the less, he got that mother fucker strapped in and all that pressure is going to burn in her back that he’s been working on for the past five minutes.
Tara screams initially, but manages to press her body off the canvas. She tucks her chin into her chest and rolls underneath Stevens long legs, performing an exceptional reversal by bringing up her body and locking Stevens into a front choke hold.
Joe Hoffman: WOW! Tara making the most of her own height advantage and using her brain to get herself out of a sticky situation.
John Sektor: Again..she’ll be used to sticky situations. But I digress…even I can’t help but be impressed by what she just did.
Stevens wisely releases her legs to relieve some pressure, but all that does is give her a platform to execute a spike DDT!
Joe Hoffman: Oh Stevens looks out on his feet as he bounces back up off his head.
Tara springs to life and jumps up, smashing Stevens face first with a high velocity facebuster.
Joe Hoffman: Tara just gave Stevens a Facelift! And this one could be all over!
UNO
DOS
Sektor grabs a fist full of his own hair.
TRES!!
John Sektor: PAH………PHEW! Thank fuck for that..
Joe Hoffman: Stevens managing to kick out just in the nick of time, clearly dazed by that face buster.
Stevens lies on his side, shaking off the cobwebs and blinking his eyes. Tara takes a second to compose herself, not rushing into her next play.
John Sektor: Come on Stevens, shake it off and switch on..
Joe Hoffman: Tara still looks to be in pain with her back, which way is the momentum going to switch?
Holding her lower back, the champion grits her teeth and takes a run up at Stevens, kicking him in the ribs. The challenger rolls away and hangs onto the ropes but Tara is back at him, nailing him again and again with everything she has. Eventually, she backs off and gives herself some room, utilising it to run at him, but Stevens side steps and sends her into the turnbuckle, spinning her around and going for the
Joe Hoffman: TOXIC STING!
But Tara throws his arms away, smashing an elbow into the back of his head and faceplanting him into the canvas. Tara continues to favour her back but seems to be stalking and willing him to get up.
Joe Hoffman: Tara has Stevens right where she wants him now, looking to finish him off with the goodnight kiss..
John Sektor: Come on Stevens..
Stevens gets up gingerly and is doubled over, setting up perfectly for Tara to back up to the ropes and come back at him with a scissors kick!
Joe Hoffman: GOODNIGHT..
Steven’s lifts his head up just at the right time and Tara kicks nothing but air.
John Sektor: That a boy! Now GET’ER!
Stevens nails her with the back of his hand.
John Sektor: Show that bitch!
He then throws her to the ropes, but the champion spring boards, turns in the air with her right leg arching around..
Joe Hoffman: TWENTY-FOUR KARAT KICK!! IT’S OVER!
Sektor looks white as a ghost as he see’s Stevens hit the deck after a ferocious flying roundhosue from the champion.
UNO
DOS
TRES!!
Cheers from the crowd!
And Sektor looks up..
Joe Hoffman: STEVENS KICKED OUT!
John Sektor: What?
Joe Hoffman: What heart he must have to kick out of that..he REALLY wants this!
Tara is in even more shock in the ring than Sektor as she pulls at her own hair. Stevens’ eyes are rolling all over the place as blood drips from his mouth. Tara grabs him by his hair and pulls back with all her might. Steven’s eyes clench in pain and he quickly gets up to his feet, but his legs buckle like they’re made out of jelly. She hits him with a right and he fires one back.
Joe Hoffman: Both of them are running low on stamina now, not surprising after coming off a pay per view, resorting to exchanging punches.
Stevens swings his hips and puts a little more weight into his next punch, sending Tara half the way across the ring.
John Sektor: BANG! Fuck off, bitch. That’s a man punch, right there.
Tara comes back at but Stevens turns and leaps up, grabbing her head and nailing the..
Joe Hoffman: TOXIC STING!!!
John Sektor: YES!!! HE’S DONE IT!!
Tara lies flat out on the canvas but Stevens doesn’t pin her. Instead he tries to pick her up off the canvas.
John Sektor: The…FUCK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU HAVE HER BEAT!!!
Joe Hoffman: I think he want’s to make sure..
John Sektor: He doesn’t have to make sure! Look at her, Hoffman! She’s out COLD!
Stevens drags her lifeless body to the ropes and hoists her up onto the turnbuckle. With her sat on top and needing Stevens to steady her for support, the challenger reaches back and grabs hold of her head. He gestures around his waist with his free hand the title is coming to Texas.
Joe Hoffman: This is going to be some victory. After being ridiculed none stop because of what Tara did to him, Scott Stevens is about to have the last laugh by beating her convincingly for the World title.
Stevens eyes bulge with intensity and he throws himself forwards..
Joe Hoffman: TOXIC..
Tara managed to keep hold of the ropes, causing Stevens to botch the move and land on his back. The camera shows a shot of John Sektor burying his face in his hand and shaking his head.
Joe Hoffman: Oh dear. I sure hope this hasn’t cost him..
Tara almost falls off the turnbuckle as she tries to stand up, but eventually she composes herself and waits for Stevens to stand up, jumping off and nailing him across the back of the head with the Scissor Kick.
Joe Hoffman: Goodnight KISS!
John Sektor: ……
Tara flips him over and covers for the
UNO
DOS
TRES!!
SHOULDER UP!!!
But it’s too late the match is won.
DING DING DING!!!
Tara looks barely able to stand as she stumbles into the ropes. Hortega tries to raise her hand in victory but she just snatches her title out of his graps and rolls out to the outside.
Joe Hoffman: Another impressive title defence from Tara, and a valiant effort from Scott Stevens.
Bryan McVay: Your winner of the match in sixteen minutes and thirty seven seconds via pinfall…and STILL, HIGH OCTANE WRESTLING, WORLD CHAMPION….The Red Queen…TARA-MICHAELS-DAAAAAAVIIIIIIIIIDSOOOOOON!!!
Joe Hoffman: Where did Stevens go wrong tonight Sektor?
John Sektor: Pfft…he over thought it. He tried too hard…and I’m pissed off right now, Hoffman!
Sektor jumps up from the table and snatches a microphone as he heads towards the ring.
John Sektor: CUT THE MUSIC!
The music instantly cuts off as the Gold Standard rolls into the ring, pacing up and down in frustration as he waits for Stevens to get to his feet. Stevens, who looks distraught with himself, wipes the sweat from his brow before planting his hands on his hips and staring down at the canvas as he breathes heavily.
John Sektor: What the hell, Stevens? You had that match WON!
Stevens just continues to shake his head, almost too embarrassed to look up.
John Sektor: Hey LOOK at me when I’m talking to you..
The crowd boo loudly at the HOW traitor as he hells at Stevens. Stevens eventually looks up as Sektor steps closer.
John Sektor: That was your one shot man..your one SHOT! I believed in you! I gave you every bit of advice that you needed to win tonight and you ignored every fucking bit of it! How is that going to make me look as I head to a new company, hmm?
Stevens looks at him with disgust and Sektor smacks his hand straight across the face, smacking the taste out of his mouth as he causes Stevens to fall down to one knee.
John Sektor: Don’t look at me like that! Don’t you know who I am? I’m John….FUCKING..
Joe Hoffman: TOXIC STING!!!
The arena erupts with cheers as Stevens nails his mentor with a cutter, laying him out in the middle of the ring.
Crowd: H.O.W! H.O.W! H.O.W!
Joe Hoffman: Well, Stevens may not have gotten his fairytale ending..but he certainly sent Sektor packing in style. That’s all from us tonight folks. Tune in next week at the same time, where I’ll hopefully be rejoined my a real Hall of Famer…’Big Buff’ Benny Newell! Goodnight Folks.
But the show is NOT over by any means……
Instead of fading to black and then to some random spot in The Best Arena where Lee should have Jace tied up and stabbing him in the fucking eye, the feed stays live inside the Arena as we see the crowd in the front row begin screaming at three figures as they are shoving their way towards the ring.
The cameras capture two men and one woman literally pushing all the High Octane fans to the side with brute force and literally jump the ringside barrier and begin to surround the ring.
Joe Hoffman: I have no idea what is going on here but these fans literally just jumped the rail and without the EPU there is no one to stop them…..SEND SOMEONE FROM THE BACK!!!
Inside the ring Stevens continues to turn as he attempts to keep his eyes on all three individuals as they literally have stepped up on the ring apron and it is at this point we see exactly who they are.
Aidan Morag, Ty Lukas and Shyla Clemmens……Boardwalk Wrestling members.
Joe Hoffman: Well it is obvious what is going to happen here…..wait….wait…Benny???!!!
The hard cameras capture HOW Hall of Fame Announcer and former Indy Wrestling Legend, Big Buff Benny Newell, nails Aidan in the back of the knee, sending the Boardwalk wrestler down off the ring apron and to the floor.
Benny begins to lay into the woman as the crowd goes apeshit as Benny literally hit the woman from behind but has a clear advantage.
Suddenly Benny is sent to the arena floor….knocked the fucked out cold by a high impact standing side kick courtesy of Ty Lukas.
Inside the ring Stevens sees what just happened and goes to help Benny but he is grabbed from behind, spun around, and greeted with a double knee facebuster, courtesy of Shyla Clemmens.
Joe Hoffman: WHERE IS EVERYONE?
WHY WILL NO ONE HELP STEVENS?
As if on cue, or part of a BOTF script, the entire HOW locker room empties and you see the roster rushing down to ringside as the Boardwalk wrestlers jump back over the guard rail and literally FORCE their way thru the crowd and out of the arena.
Camera crews scramble after the wrestlers as some of the HOW wrestlers give chase while we see an overhead shot of a knocked out Stevens inside the ring and a laid out Benny Newell on the outside of the ring.
The feed cuts to the live cameras who have now made it thru the crowd and are outside where we see Jace, Mike and Tara are literally brawling with the three members of Boardwalk.
Suddenly we see Jace turn right into a sidekick from Lukas and he falls on the hood of a car. The sound causes everyone to turn and as they do the action almost comes to a standstill as we see none other than Michael Pettis exit the car and grab Jace around the throat.
Hundreds of fans from inside the arena have spilled out and have created a circle around the fight as if it was a bad afterschool special.
Pettis is literally choking the life out of Jace as we see Mike and Tara turn and race to help……but are unable to as both Aidan and Clemmens nail them both from behind.
As Pettis continues to choke out Jace we see Lukas smile, and turn towards Mike where he sidekicks the staggering HOW Hall of Famer which causes him to fall right into the arms of Aidan who then picks up the Son of God and nails him with her Golden Showers widows peak finisher right on the concrete.
Clemmens is then seen holding the HOW World Champion up in the air and brings her down hard as he executes his double knee backbreaker….The Nullifier.
The camera pans back to Jace who’s eyes are red with rage as he literally is being choked to death while being forced to watch Mike and Tara be taken out.
Suddenly the fans begin to get some liquid courage and they begin swinging at the Boardwalk Wrestlers who begin to fight them off…..but the numbers begin to become too great.
Just as more of the High Octane Wrestlers make their way thru the MOB of fans and to the outside of the arena we see the car driven by Pettis speed away.
The final image from outside that we see is of a gasping Jace lying on his side on the concrete literally staring at Mike and Tara laid out while the fans continue on in full out mob mode.
Back inside, we cut live to a live close up of Joe standing next to a gurney as we see Benny being loaded up as we fade to black.
Joe Hoffman: WHAT??
“Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap” by AC/DC plays and, none other than, The Gold Standard, John Sektor, struts out onto the top of the ramp. He looks out at the crowd with a big, shit eating, grin as they hammer him with hate.
Joe Hoffman: What is HE doing here? He’s just signed with UTA!
Benny Newell: FUCKING TRAITOR!!! SECURITY!!!
Joe Hoffman: Benny, he owns the security, remember?
Benny Newell: Then fetch me my twelve-gauge..NOW!!
He enjoys the hate for a moment, before reaching his hands down to the bottom of his t-shirt and ripping it off. The volume inside the arena doubles as he reveals a UTA T-Shirt.
Benny Newell: WHAT A FUCKING SHITBAG…COCKSUCKER…CUNT…TWAT…QUIM…NI..
Joe Hoffman: Are just a few of the words he WONT be able to say at UTA.
Heading down the ramp he taunts the crowd with nothing more than his arrogant smile, before stepping behind the desk and grabbing a pair of headphones. Benny and Joe just glare at him in bemusement and Benny’s hand is shaking as he snatches his bottle of Jack. As the music dies down the crowd begin to chant in full chorus.

As if on cue, the lights in the arena go pitch black, as red lasers and spotlights light up the area. The video screen lights up and flashes across the screen a Texas flag, with the words, “Texas Born. Texas Bred.” “Texas Forever.“ branded into the flag. The crowd reaction is mixed, but there are more cheers than boos, as a piano calmly plays throughout the PA system and “Til I Collapse” by Eminem begins to play. The cheers intensify as the chorus hits the speakers, drawing out the man from Texas. Walking down the aisle, he fists bumps some of his fans while raising a fist at a few of the more vocal bashers. As he finally gets to the ring, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stares down at John Sektor, who is on his feet behind the announce table, clapping with support. He even motions around his own waist and then points at Stevens to insinuate that the titles going to him.
John Sektor: COME ON, Stevens!
Stevens gives his former team mate and mentor a nod before hopping down and testing the ropes, eyes focussed and looking as though he is in the proverbial ‘zone.’
Joe Hoffman: Huge night for Scott Stevens. This is a do or die situation for him. Do you think he has what it takes to beat Tara tonight, John?
Ben Newell: Don’t talk to this fucking scumbag. He’s cheating on us with the next door neighbour Joe!
John Sektor: You know what Benny? I know you’re just lashing out right now, because you’re hurt that I’m not wrestling here any more. But all you have to do is watch the UTA shows to see you’re favorite wrestler in action..

Benny jumps out of his seat and rips off his headset, slamming it down on the table and leaving Joe looking extremely shocked and confused.
Benny Newell: I aint sitting near this fucking treacherous turncoat any longer…I’m DONE!
Sektor laughs to himself as he watches Benny storm away from the announce table, and even leans over to grab his bottle of Jack Daniels. He goes to take a sip but ‘Big Buff’ snatches the bottle out of his hands and carries it away with him towards the backstage area, mumbling profanities under his breath.
Joe Hoffman: Guess it’s just you and me..
John Sektor: I guess so..
Tara is already down at the ring by this point, stood with her back against the ropes on the outer canvas, stroking the gold plate of the World title seductively as though its her lover, before unstrapping it and lifting it high above her head. Stevens narrows his eyes, looking hungry as he keeps them locked onto her whilst she enters the ring.

Nothing but boo’s for the Red Queen as she calmly smiles and flicks back her hair, lifting her beloved title above her head. Referee Joel Hortega then comes to take the title off her, and she looks quite reluctant to give it to him.
Joe Hoffman: Massive height and weight difference between these two. But Tara has always managed to find a way to beat Stevens and she’s World champion! Huge achievement, and no matter what you think of her as a person, you have to admire her.
John Sektor: You know the biggest thing I noticed in that ‘tale of the tape,’ Joe?
Joe Hoffman: What’s that?
John Sektor: That she’s a fucking WOMAN!
Joe Hoffman: What’s that got to do with anything? She beat you not so long ago?
Sektor just ignores that comment as Stevens finishes getting acquainted with the World title. Satisfied that all the formalities have been completed, Hortega calls for the bell to start the match.
DING DING!!
Both competitors begin to circle one another in the ring, Tara looking relaxed and Stevens poised and ready.
Joe Hoffman: This is it! Stevens wants it. He’s dreamed about it. He’s thought about this moment a thousand times but now it’s finally here. Can the Scorpion finally win the World title? Or will Tara, yet again, trump him and crush his dreams..
John Sektor: Only a foolish man would bet against Tara at the moment. But let me tell you something, Scott Stevens always turns it up to eleven in matches like this. Just look at him in that ring, Joe. You can see he wants this more than she does. All he has to do is pull the TRIGGER tonight and his career heads straight for the moon.
The champion makes the first move, lunging forward and dropping to one knee, feinting an attack which causes Stevens to recoil. She then backs off and circles him a little longer, trying it again but this time Stevens boots her square in the face. The fans erupt and begin to chant his name, lending him maximum support as he opens up on her with rights and lefts as he mounts her on the canvas.
John Sektor: That’s it Stevens! Smack the shit out of that bitch!
Joe Hoffman: Stevens has exploded here in the early goings, firing in punches at rapid speed and causing the champion to curl up into a protective ball.
Most of the shots are deflected off Tara’s arms so Stevens grabs her by the hair and yanks her up to her feet screaming. He pulls her into a front waist lock and spins her one-eighty before slamming her down hard on the canvas.
John Sektor: BOOM, big time Belly to Belly slam. Shades of John Sektor!
Joe Hoffman: And with the wind knocked out of her sails, Stevens comes off the ropes, jumping up..OH! Jumping knee to that pretty face of Tara’s!
Tara, rolls around on the canvas, holding her head. Stevens comes back towards her and stoops down, but she throws a wild leg up and catches him on the forehead, sending him staggering.
Joe Hoffman: Great ring awareness from the champion there. Knowing where her opponent is, even after taking that knee drop.
Tara gets back to her feet and charges at Stevens, but he ducks down and lifts her up and over to the outside, causing her to land on her face.
Joe Hoffman: OHHH! Tara just hit the concrete hard with that landing!
John Sektor: Good thing the bitch has air-bags..
Tara holds her mid section as she gets up to her feet, not realising that Stevens is clutching the ropes on the inside of the ring and waiting.
John Sektor: Watch out butter-cup! A Two hundred and fifty pound slice of Texas is about to come your way!
Stevens vaults himself up and over the ropes, but Tara side steps and allows the big Texan to meet the concrete in a similar fashion to what she did. She then kicks him in the back of the head for good measure.
Joe Hoffman: Again, great awareness from the champion. No tentative start to this match, John. Intense action right from the get go..
John Sektor: That’s his style and that’s how he operates. He’s trying to set the pace for this match and take Tara out of her comfort zone, and he was doing well. I just hope he doesn’t lose too much momentum here.
Stevens gets to his knees but Tara kicks him in the midsection, causing a sickening sound as her shin echoes off his lungs. She then hits him with another, and another, and another..
John Sektor: Break that cunts leg will ya!
Joe Hoffman: You won’t be able to use language like that soon..
John Sektor: I know, that’s why I’m getting it out of my system now.
Tara quickly rolls in and out of the ring to reset the count out, looking to go back in for another kick. But Stevens captures her leg. Her eyes bulge like a deer trapped in headlights as Stevens holds her leg and shakes his head. Tara, thinking quickly, hits him round the side of the head with an enziguri, causing the Texan to flop down onto the concrete.
John Sektor: Come on, Stevens, get it together man.
Joe Hoffman: She’s deadly with those feet of hers..
Tara climbs onto the outer canvas, waiting for Stevens to get to his feet before leaping off with her legs spread, wrapping them around his face as she lands. She leans back to try for a hurricarana, but Stevens holds himself upright. He then yanks her body back up so that she’s sat on top of his shoulders.
John Sektor: Using his strength to his advantage right now!
Stevens then proceeds to powerbomb her spine first against the side of the ring, causing the fans to erupt with yells of anguish, before the obligatory “Holy-Shit” chants break out.
Joe Hoffman: GOOD LORD! Stevens may have just broke her back!
John Sektor: It takes that level of ruthlessness to win World title Joe and Stevens realises this. I had to smash Mike Best’s skull repeatedly with a rock to take the World title off him. Broken back, broken neck, certain death…it doesn’t matter. Getting the job done is all that matters right now and my boy is coming up with the goods.
Stevens has her back in the ring and drags her by the hair into the middle. He picks her up to her feet as though she’s weightless and executes a gut-wrench suplex.
Joe Hoffman: Oh, back onto that back!
John Sektor: It’s the position she’s most familiar with Joseph..
Stevens continues to dominate, tossing her around the ring with various suplex’s, earning himself several two counts.
John Sektor: He’s throwing her around that ring for fun now. He’s making me believe, Joe.
Joe Hoffman: One thing you can believe, is that Tara has one or two more tricks up her sleeve.
John Sektor: By sleeve..you mean vagina, right?
Stevens has Tara up again, and she tries to fights back with a couple of weak swings of the fist, but Stevens fastens her into a fisherman position and slams her back down, bridging for a pin.
UNO
DOS
TRE..
Joe Hoffman: Just manages to kick out in time. Tara is in serious trouble here as the hungry challenger takes her apart piece by piece. You must be beaming with pride right now watching this?
John Sektor: I certainly am, Stevens is doing an incredible job so far. But he can’t afford to switch off, even for a second.
Stevens rushes to pick her up, but Tara mule kicks him in the gut and causes him to double over. She comes off the ropes but Steven’s spots her and brings her down to the canvas with a simple drop toe hold, picking up her legs and locking in the sharpshooter.
Joe Hoffman: Arachnophobia!
John Sektor: I probably should have spoken to him about choosing names for his moves that aren’t a fucking ball ache to say..never the less, he got that mother fucker strapped in and all that pressure is going to burn in her back that he’s been working on for the past five minutes.
Tara screams initially, but manages to press her body off the canvas. She tucks her chin into her chest and rolls underneath Stevens long legs, performing an exceptional reversal by bringing up her body and locking Stevens into a front choke hold.
Joe Hoffman: WOW! Tara making the most of her own height advantage and using her brain to get herself out of a sticky situation.
John Sektor: Again..she’ll be used to sticky situations. But I digress…even I can’t help but be impressed by what she just did.
Stevens wisely releases her legs to relieve some pressure, but all that does is give her a platform to execute a spike DDT!
Joe Hoffman: Oh Stevens looks out on his feet as he bounces back up off his head.
Tara springs to life and jumps up, smashing Stevens face first with a high velocity facebuster.
Joe Hoffman: Tara just gave Stevens a Facelift! And this one could be all over!
UNO
DOS
Sektor grabs a fist full of his own hair.
TRES!!
John Sektor: PAH………PHEW! Thank fuck for that..
Joe Hoffman: Stevens managing to kick out just in the nick of time, clearly dazed by that face buster.
Stevens lies on his side, shaking off the cobwebs and blinking his eyes. Tara takes a second to compose herself, not rushing into her next play.
John Sektor: Come on Stevens, shake it off and switch on..
Joe Hoffman: Tara still looks to be in pain with her back, which way is the momentum going to switch?
Holding her lower back, the champion grits her teeth and takes a run up at Stevens, kicking him in the ribs. The challenger rolls away and hangs onto the ropes but Tara is back at him, nailing him again and again with everything she has. Eventually, she backs off and gives herself some room, utilising it to run at him, but Stevens side steps and sends her into the turnbuckle, spinning her around and going for the
Joe Hoffman: TOXIC STING!
But Tara throws his arms away, smashing an elbow into the back of his head and faceplanting him into the canvas. Tara continues to favour her back but seems to be stalking and willing him to get up.
Joe Hoffman: Tara has Stevens right where she wants him now, looking to finish him off with the goodnight kiss..
John Sektor: Come on Stevens..
Stevens gets up gingerly and is doubled over, setting up perfectly for Tara to back up to the ropes and come back at him with a scissors kick!
Joe Hoffman: GOODNIGHT..
Steven’s lifts his head up just at the right time and Tara kicks nothing but air.
John Sektor: That a boy! Now GET’ER!
Stevens nails her with the back of his hand.
John Sektor: Show that bitch!
He then throws her to the ropes, but the champion spring boards, turns in the air with her right leg arching around..
Joe Hoffman: TWENTY-FOUR KARAT KICK!! IT’S OVER!
Sektor looks white as a ghost as he see’s Stevens hit the deck after a ferocious flying roundhosue from the champion.
UNO
DOS
TRES!!
Cheers from the crowd!
And Sektor looks up..
Joe Hoffman: STEVENS KICKED OUT!
John Sektor: What?
Joe Hoffman: What heart he must have to kick out of that..he REALLY wants this!
Tara is in even more shock in the ring than Sektor as she pulls at her own hair. Stevens’ eyes are rolling all over the place as blood drips from his mouth. Tara grabs him by his hair and pulls back with all her might. Steven’s eyes clench in pain and he quickly gets up to his feet, but his legs buckle like they’re made out of jelly. She hits him with a right and he fires one back.
Joe Hoffman: Both of them are running low on stamina now, not surprising after coming off a pay per view, resorting to exchanging punches.
Stevens swings his hips and puts a little more weight into his next punch, sending Tara half the way across the ring.
John Sektor: BANG! Fuck off, bitch. That’s a man punch, right there.
Tara comes back at but Stevens turns and leaps up, grabbing her head and nailing the..
Joe Hoffman: TOXIC STING!!!
John Sektor: YES!!! HE’S DONE IT!!
Tara lies flat out on the canvas but Stevens doesn’t pin her. Instead he tries to pick her up off the canvas.
John Sektor: The…FUCK! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? YOU HAVE HER BEAT!!!
Joe Hoffman: I think he want’s to make sure..
John Sektor: He doesn’t have to make sure! Look at her, Hoffman! She’s out COLD!
Stevens drags her lifeless body to the ropes and hoists her up onto the turnbuckle. With her sat on top and needing Stevens to steady her for support, the challenger reaches back and grabs hold of her head. He gestures around his waist with his free hand the title is coming to Texas.
Joe Hoffman: This is going to be some victory. After being ridiculed none stop because of what Tara did to him, Scott Stevens is about to have the last laugh by beating her convincingly for the World title.
Stevens eyes bulge with intensity and he throws himself forwards..
Joe Hoffman: TOXIC..
Tara managed to keep hold of the ropes, causing Stevens to botch the move and land on his back. The camera shows a shot of John Sektor burying his face in his hand and shaking his head.
Joe Hoffman: Oh dear. I sure hope this hasn’t cost him..
Tara almost falls off the turnbuckle as she tries to stand up, but eventually she composes herself and waits for Stevens to stand up, jumping off and nailing him across the back of the head with the Scissor Kick.
Joe Hoffman: Goodnight KISS!
John Sektor: ……
Tara flips him over and covers for the
UNO

TRES!!
SHOULDER UP!!!
But it’s too late the match is won.
DING DING DING!!!
Tara looks barely able to stand as she stumbles into the ropes. Hortega tries to raise her hand in victory but she just snatches her title out of his graps and rolls out to the outside.
Joe Hoffman: Another impressive title defence from Tara, and a valiant effort from Scott Stevens.
Bryan McVay: Your winner of the match in sixteen minutes and thirty seven seconds via pinfall…and STILL, HIGH OCTANE WRESTLING, WORLD CHAMPION….The Red Queen…TARA-MICHAELS-DAAAAAAVIIIIIIIIIDSOOOOOON!!!
Joe Hoffman: Where did Stevens go wrong tonight Sektor?
John Sektor: Pfft…he over thought it. He tried too hard…and I’m pissed off right now, Hoffman!
Sektor jumps up from the table and snatches a microphone as he heads towards the ring.
John Sektor: CUT THE MUSIC!
The music instantly cuts off as the Gold Standard rolls into the ring, pacing up and down in frustration as he waits for Stevens to get to his feet. Stevens, who looks distraught with himself, wipes the sweat from his brow before planting his hands on his hips and staring down at the canvas as he breathes heavily.
John Sektor: What the hell, Stevens? You had that match WON!
Stevens just continues to shake his head, almost too embarrassed to look up.
John Sektor: Hey LOOK at me when I’m talking to you..
The crowd boo loudly at the HOW traitor as he hells at Stevens. Stevens eventually looks up as Sektor steps closer.
John Sektor: That was your one shot man..your one SHOT! I believed in you! I gave you every bit of advice that you needed to win tonight and you ignored every fucking bit of it! How is that going to make me look as I head to a new company, hmm?
Stevens looks at him with disgust and Sektor smacks his hand straight across the face, smacking the taste out of his mouth as he causes Stevens to fall down to one knee.
John Sektor: Don’t look at me like that! Don’t you know who I am? I’m John….FUCKING..
Joe Hoffman: TOXIC STING!!!
The arena erupts with cheers as Stevens nails his mentor with a cutter, laying him out in the middle of the ring.
Crowd: H.O.W! H.O.W! H.O.W!
Joe Hoffman: Well, Stevens may not have gotten his fairytale ending..but he certainly sent Sektor packing in style. That’s all from us tonight folks. Tune in next week at the same time, where I’ll hopefully be rejoined my a real Hall of Famer…’Big Buff’ Benny Newell! Goodnight Folks.
But the show is NOT over by any means……
Instead of fading to black and then to some random spot in The Best Arena where Lee should have Jace tied up and stabbing him in the fucking eye, the feed stays live inside the Arena as we see the crowd in the front row begin screaming at three figures as they are shoving their way towards the ring.
The cameras capture two men and one woman literally pushing all the High Octane fans to the side with brute force and literally jump the ringside barrier and begin to surround the ring.
Joe Hoffman: I have no idea what is going on here but these fans literally just jumped the rail and without the EPU there is no one to stop them…..SEND SOMEONE FROM THE BACK!!!
Inside the ring Stevens continues to turn as he attempts to keep his eyes on all three individuals as they literally have stepped up on the ring apron and it is at this point we see exactly who they are.
Aidan Morag, Ty Lukas and Shyla Clemmens……Boardwalk Wrestling members.
Joe Hoffman: Well it is obvious what is going to happen here…..wait….wait…Benny???!!!
The hard cameras capture HOW Hall of Fame Announcer and former Indy Wrestling Legend, Big Buff Benny Newell, nails Aidan in the back of the knee, sending the Boardwalk wrestler down off the ring apron and to the floor.
Benny begins to lay into the woman as the crowd goes apeshit as Benny literally hit the woman from behind but has a clear advantage.
Suddenly Benny is sent to the arena floor….knocked the fucked out cold by a high impact standing side kick courtesy of Ty Lukas.
Inside the ring Stevens sees what just happened and goes to help Benny but he is grabbed from behind, spun around, and greeted with a double knee facebuster, courtesy of Shyla Clemmens.
Joe Hoffman: WHERE IS EVERYONE?
WHY WILL NO ONE HELP STEVENS?As if on cue, or part of a BOTF script, the entire HOW locker room empties and you see the roster rushing down to ringside as the Boardwalk wrestlers jump back over the guard rail and literally FORCE their way thru the crowd and out of the arena.
Camera crews scramble after the wrestlers as some of the HOW wrestlers give chase while we see an overhead shot of a knocked out Stevens inside the ring and a laid out Benny Newell on the outside of the ring.
The feed cuts to the live cameras who have now made it thru the crowd and are outside where we see Jace, Mike and Tara are literally brawling with the three members of Boardwalk.
Suddenly we see Jace turn right into a sidekick from Lukas and he falls on the hood of a car. The sound causes everyone to turn and as they do the action almost comes to a standstill as we see none other than Michael Pettis exit the car and grab Jace around the throat.
Hundreds of fans from inside the arena have spilled out and have created a circle around the fight as if it was a bad afterschool special.
Pettis is literally choking the life out of Jace as we see Mike and Tara turn and race to help……but are unable to as both Aidan and Clemmens nail them both from behind.
As Pettis continues to choke out Jace we see Lukas smile, and turn towards Mike where he sidekicks the staggering HOW Hall of Famer which causes him to fall right into the arms of Aidan who then picks up the Son of God and nails him with her Golden Showers widows peak finisher right on the concrete.
Clemmens is then seen holding the HOW World Champion up in the air and brings her down hard as he executes his double knee backbreaker….The Nullifier.
The camera pans back to Jace who’s eyes are red with rage as he literally is being choked to death while being forced to watch Mike and Tara be taken out.
Suddenly the fans begin to get some liquid courage and they begin swinging at the Boardwalk Wrestlers who begin to fight them off…..but the numbers begin to become too great.
Just as more of the High Octane Wrestlers make their way thru the MOB of fans and to the outside of the arena we see the car driven by Pettis speed away.
The final image from outside that we see is of a gasping Jace lying on his side on the concrete literally staring at Mike and Tara laid out while the fans continue on in full out mob mode.
Back inside, we cut live to a live close up of Joe standing next to a gurney as we see Benny being loaded up as we fade to black.
