Steven's AOE: Returning Fantasy Entertainment

[Exotic Rick]

The Wrasslin' Observer
Blaine Fantasy starts up his own federation!

by Ray Shelkzer

A shock to many, the son of the legendary Mr. Fantasy, founder of WrestleWorld Blaine Fantasy is starting up his own federation. A few years ago, Blaine was forced out of the company after a confrontation with his father, the former not happy with how the company was being ran and his creative power within the company being given to VTC, who married into the family after marrying his way into the family via Tiffany Fantasy.

Blaine said he's tired of sitting on the sidelines and wants to give pro wrestling something new, and give the goliath WrestleWorld something worth their money. Blaine acknowledges the numerous indy companies trying to take down WrestleWorld, but then goes on to say that he has money and power, something that those companies don't have. Blaine says he's been working to assemble the best roster possible and has been able to pull some plugs to get his company on national television, showing three different shows over the course of the month.

The flagship show will be Sports Entertainment Live which sends the fans off before the Pay-4-View. Blaine owns the trademark to the Sports Entertainment as he came up with it and the show was quickly removed from WrestleWorld's regular programming following Blaine's exit from the company. In a press conference, Blaine said the following: "The company will go by the three initials AOE. This is more than just proving a point, I am going to establish Fantasy Entertainment in pro wrestling, and provide fans not just 'Sports Entertainment' but the greatest wrestling they have ever lied their eyes on.

Catch AOE live on Channel 7 at 8 PM where they debut with their first televised show, Showtime! Us at the Observer are rooting for Blaine very heavily, as we too are in the interest of seeing something that could rival WrestleWorld or potentially even take it down.

Held at Cattle Castle
January Week 1, Year 1

Kongo Kid versus Diablo
The first match in AOE's history is Kongo Kid going up against Diablo. Two young wrestlers touted as two exciting wrestlers who could potentially go on and do something big in the company. This is all you could ask for from two fast paced wrestlers, as Kongo Kid takes the win in a short competitive match from his top rope move dubbed as the "Jungle Drop".

Abe Buckingham versus Zeta Quade
Up next is the son of Brit Buckingham, going up against international Zeta Quade. The commentators put this over as Abe's first ever match in the USA and he has been honing his craft in Great Britain training with his father. The commentators also put over Quade who has been all over the world and has an experience edge over Abe. This is shown as Quade is steps ahead of Abe, and despite his best efforts, it's Zeta Quade who takes the win with his vicious looking "Masterstroke" finisher.

Lord Evermore versus Mr. Europa
Lord Evermore comes down to the ring accompanied by his wife, Winter who also goes by Lady Evermore. Evermore is put over as the leader of the Northwood Kingdom, with many loyal followers. This doesn't phase the sleazy Mr. Europa who is full of finesse and pure grappling. Lord Evermore is steadily in control of this match, but Mr. Europa is able to trip him into the corner which changes the control of this match. Instead of continuing the attack, Mr. Europa taunts Evermore's wife, Winter and tells her to hit him up at his hotel room. Before he can say the room number, Lord Evermore attacks him; a ball of fire. Evermore tells his wife to stay back, and the slight stop of his attack allows Europa to turn him around and nail him with the Toxic Masculinity for the win.

Destiny versus Carolina Strutter
The first women's match in AOE, it's the bright upstart Destiny going up against daughter of the great Jet Set Strutter, Carolina Strutter. Carolina is quick on the attack and targets the leg the entire match, trying to trap Destiny into the Six-Figure Leglock. However, as she's on the attack Carolina makes a rookie move and plays to the crowd a bit too much, allowing for Destiny to get a Schoolgirl Rollup for the win and flee the ring before Carolina can get to her.

Richie Billions versus Prince Sharif for the AOE International Championship
In the main event, we have the AOE International Championship on the line as  Richie Billions is out first. Richie is accompanied to the ring by his manger, Eliza Brat who seems to be livestreaming to the fans on BoobToob. Prince Sharif makes his way to the ring fast and the match is off to a start. Sharif is determined to take the win, and after some back and forth action it's his speed that gives him the advantage. Sharif looks to take the win until Eliza hops on the apron, briefly distracting Sharif which allows Richie B to come in and hit Sharif with his patented Trust Fund Baby to become the first ever AOE International Champion.

Thursday Night Spotlight
Held at Chitown Complex
January Week 2, Year 1

Flint Decker versus Jin Kinji
Opening up the show is the cocky and arrogant Flint Decker going up against Japanese superstar Jin Kinji. It's a very back and forth match with stiff wrestling and brutal moves. A highlight of the match is when Flint Decker nails Jin Kinji with a german suplex off the apron. In the end, Jin Kinji is able to spin out of Decker's attempt at his finisher and nail him with the Epic-Plex for the victory in a P4V worthy matchup.

After the match is over, instead of being sent to another matchup; the broadcast is interrupted by the arrival of the creepy and eerily looking Pathos in a dark room. Pathos says soon he will arrive to AOE, and everyone better watch out, because he will be taking all prisoners.

Lord and Lady Evermore versus Mr. Europa and Pink Champagne
After the results of last week's matchup, Mr. Europa was tasked with finding a female to team with him against an angry Lord Evermore and Winter. Mr. Europa and Pink Champagne work well as a team in this match, but the anger of Lord Evermore and Winter show a lot in this match, and despite both Europa and Champagne's attempts to take a sly victory, it doesn't work as Evermore lays Europa out with the Oathbreaker after a flying dropkick from Winter to set up the move for the win.

The fans are treated to resident AOE interview, Cutie Pie who introduces herself to the fans and shows her clear excitement in working here. Cutie Pie welcomes Emperor Enyu, a Japanese wrestling icon. Enyu says that he has signed a big money contract to AOE to come to America, and will bring his flash and power to AOE, and promises that no one is ready for it. Enyu then goes on to say that when he arrives to AOE, he will make it rain.

Seraph versus Grifter for the AOE Lightweight Championship
In the main event, it's Seraph who faces Grifter to determine the first ever Lightweight Champion in AOE. Seraph brings his fast-paced lucha libre style to the ring and brings the fight to Grifter, who focuses on overwhelming his opponent with strikes and brutalizing them. Very back and forth surprisingly, Grifter is finally able to trap Seraph in the corner and unleash his anger out on him. After leading Seraph out of the corner of the ring, kneeled and vulernable, he ends him with the Brain Basher, getting the pinfall victory and becoming the first ever AOE Lightweight Champion.

Sports Entertainment Live
Held at Mojito Beach
January Week 3, Year 1

The fans are welcomed to AOE's flagship show, Sports Entertainment Live. The show begins with Blaine Fantasy coming out, who welcomes the fans to the show and says that he is pleased to announce that next week, on Sunday will be AOE's first P4V, Battle Royale. At Battle Royale will be a ten man battle royal matchup, where the winner will go on to fight for the World Championship in the main event,, against none other than the menacing Monstro.. Monstro comes down to the ring, making his official debut, accompanied by Andromeda. Monstro enters the ring with a microphone, and uses his menacing tone throughout his speech where he goes over the fact that he and Blaine came to an "agreement", and if anyone thinks he has to earn his title shot.. Just wait until what he does to the winner of the ten man battle royal match in the main event of Battle Royale. Monstro leaves the ring, and Blaine nods as we are sent off with our first matchup of the evening.

Final Fantasy versus Wheelmen
Our first male vs male tag team matchup in AOE. On commentary it's noted that the winners of this match will go on to face a team handpicked by Blaine, The Over Knights to determine the first AOE Tag Team Champions at Battle Royale. Unfortunately for Wheelmen, Avarice and Lion Hero are two great single wrestlers that combine to become an even better tag team, and effectively Final Fantasy gets the win tonight.

Gunslinger versus Mack Caliber
Up next is a qualifying match for two men who may have missed the mark of being in the Battle Royale match. Mack Caliber and Gunslinger truly show what they're capable of as it's a blow for blow brawl. In the end, Mack Caliber is able to calculate a running clothesline from Gunslinger and knock him down with his Magnum Slug finishing manuever.

After the match is over, a video package plays for Zeta Quade; showing footage from his matchup with Abe Buckingham and him outside of the ring, on the pretaped video package Quade declares that he will be entering himself in the Battle Royale effective under permission of Blaine Fantasy. An angered Mack Caliber still in the ring takes to the mic and calls out both Quade and Blaine, saying that this is a fraud and doesn't get how a star like him has to fight for his shot while a joe schmo like Zeta Quade gets to go in free of charge. Caliber says he'll let it slide, but what he won't let slide is when he and Quade cross paths in the battle royale.

Emperor Enyu versus Flint Decker versus King Solomon
In tonight's main event, it's a triple threat between the debuting Emperor Enyu, Flint Decker, and King Solomon. All three men have been remarked as put in the battle royale by Blaine Fantasy himself, and the winner of this match will draw number ten while the person pinned will draw number one. It's an all out battle as all three men want a chance at getting the last spot in the battle royale. Unfortunately, Emperor Enyu after trying to finish Decker is bulldozed out of the ring by Solomon, who grabs Decker and lays him out with the Final Judgement to take the win and draw number ten in the battle royale, while Decker is now stuck to go in at number one.

Battle Royale
Held at Silver Stadium
January Week 4, Year 1

10 Man Battle Royale Match
To start off the P4V is the battle royale matchup that fans have been looking forward to since the announcement of the P4V last week. As previously announced, #1 Flint Decker comes down to the ring.  Decker awaits #2, who is Abe Buckingham. The two have a bit of a back and forth, until #3 Zeta Quade arrives to the ring. Zeta Quade and Abe Buckingham go at it quickly, reminiscing on their match from the first ever AOE show. After Buckingham knocks Quade down with a dropkick, that gives Decker the chance to dump Abe out. [Elimination: Abe Buckingham (5:26)] 

Then comes #4, the MMA fighter and former football player Gridiron. Gridiron makes his way to the ring and quickly manhandles both Flint and Quade. Decker and Quade try their hardest to fight back against Gridiron, but most attempts are failed. Out next is #5, Mack Caliber. Caliber quickly walks down to the ring, still unhappy about last week. Caliber shows off his steel chain, then enters the ring where he turns Gridiron and knocks em silly with a punch to the head assisted by the steel chain. Zeta Quade and Mack Caliber brawl after that, and after low-blowing Quade, Caliber throws the favorite to win out early. [Elimination: Zeta Quade (8:14)]

Followed by Zeta Quade's elimination is the arrival of #6, Pathos. Pathos, menacing as all hell finally arrives to AOE after his statements a few weeks back. Pathos comes down to the ring and immediately goes for Gridiron, the biggest guy in the match. Pathos and Gridiron have bit of a back and forth, until Flint Decker and Mack Caliber attack both from behind. The attacks hardly do anything, and both Pathos and Gridiron knock the two down. They go back to the brawl, and Pathos chokes Gridiron near the ropes, using his power to manhandle the fighter over the top rope. [Elimination: Gridiron (5:09)] 

Pathos doesn't get to look and where he's thrown Gridiron, as Decker and Caliber are immediately on the attack. The two lay in some hard shots on Pathos, and try to throw him over the top rope. Pathos breaks free and gets some power moves in on both men. Out next is #7, Emperor Enyu. Enyu comes down with a lot to prove after losing his shot at getting the last spot in this match and immediately helps out Caliber and Decker with Pathos. Pathos lies Enyu out surprisingly fast, and turns to Flint Decker who he clotheslines over the top rope. [Elimination: Flint Decker (13:47)]

Pathos is attacked from behind by Emperor Enyu, who is able to contain Pathos for a bit with some hard strikes and quick grapple moves. Enyu calls for Mack Caliber to help him, and when it looks like he's approaching Pathos, Enyu tres to throw Caliber out. Caliber hangs on and gets in the ring where the two trade back and forth blows to the head. The two eventually forget about Pathos, who runs through the two. Pathos picks both up and sends them both over the top rope at the same time. [Elimination: Mack Caliber (10:53), Emperor Enyu (3:56)]

Pathos stands in the center of the ring, standing tall as he awaits #8. A surprise to many, #8 is WrestleWorld legend and wrestling legend as it is, SlashMaster! SlashMaster comes down to the ring and Pathos stares at him in awe, as the fans are cheering him on. SlashMaster immediately takes it to Pathos, laying in with some hard-hitting shots to the head. After some back and forth, SlashMaster hits his signature chain of moves, which ends to SlashMaster gripping Pathos with a brutal chokeslam. Following that, Slashmaster picks Pathos up and throws him out, ending his dominant run. [Elimination: Pathos (6:22)]

Immediately after Pathos is eliminated, #9 is the man dubbed as the Son of Samoa. Son of Samoa unfortunately takes his time to the ring, as an angered Pathos rushes towards him and shoulder blocks him. Pathos chokes Son of Samoa on the entrance way, and despite referee's and AOE officials trying to break free, he shoves through all of them and arrives to the back on his own accord. SlashMaster stares in the ring, as Son of Samoa is clearly in no condition to continue, and is helped to the back. SlashMaster watches as Son of Samoa is helped away and here comes #10, King Solomon! Solomon marches to the ring and immediately dukes it out with SlashMaster. Solomon rams SlashMaster in the corner and uses his power to overwhelm him. SlashMaster fights back however, and gains the advantage after he chokes Solomon. Solomon leaps out of the chokeslam attempt and knocks SlashMaster silly with a vicious big boot!

The back and forth continues for awhile, as SlashMaster is choking Solomon on the ropes, trying to force him over. Solomon punches SlashMaster repeatedly, to break free of the choke. Solomon grabs onto SlashMaster's arms and launches him over the top rope! [Elimination: SlashMaster (5:25)] King Solomon falls over, and raises his arms up in victory. Solomon gets up, but his theme song isn't playing..? Son of Samoa is back in the ring! He waits for Solomon to turn him around and nail him with a thrust kick to the jaw! Son of Samoa heads to the top rope, top rope Samoan Splash! Son of Samoa picks up King Solomon and throws him out the ring! [Elimination:  King Solomon (4:57)] Son of Samoa will be going on to face Monstro in the main event! Son of Samoa celebrates his somewhat controversial victory, while Solomon complains to referee's on his way back.

Richie Billions (c) vs Jin Kinji for the AOE International Championship
Two men who missed the battle royale for obvious reasons, the first ever AOE International Champion  Richie Billions comes down to the ring with something to prove. Jin Kinji also has a lot to prove as the two go at it for a bit. Richie B tries his best to neutralize Kinji and working his legs to avoid him from hitting his dangerous kicks. However, Kinji fights through the pain and knocks Richie B with a roundhouse kick. He's unable to capitalize, as he's in pain from his legs being worked on, and Eliza Brat rolls Richie Billions out the ring. Kinji watches him get up and goes to the top rope, but Richie B pulls Eliza in the way as Kinji's about to jump, making him hesitate. This allows Billions to run up to the top rope, grab Kinji and hit a top rope version of the Trust Fund Baby to get the pinfall victory and retain his belt!

Following the end of that match, the fans are introduced to Rod Codger who introduces himself and said that he has left his big money sports analyst job to get even more money here at AOE. Codger introduces his guest, the Black Plague. Codger tries to run down some questions on this mysterious man, who says nothing. Eventually, Plague snatches the microphone from Codger and begins to talk on his own accord. He says he's sick and tired of the false heroes in AOE, and he's tired of seeing these pretenders going for belts that they aren't capable of holding. Plague finishes his statement by saying the Axis of Evil will enable him to be a man that no one will be able to defeat.

Mother Mercy vs Sweet Jane for the AOE Women's Championship
The AOE Women's Championship is on the line as the commentators put over Mother Mercy, a destructive force of nature who has wrestled all over the world. They also put over Sweet Jane who has tenacity and unmatched speed and power. Surprisingly, it's a back and forth battle as Mother Mercy can't quite get ahold of Jane who's moving around very quickly. Eventually, it does get in the hands of Mother Mercy as she takes control from reversing a missile dropkick into a sitout powerbomb. Mother Mercy looks to finish the match, but Sweet Jane rolls through and trips Mother Mercy onto her stomach so she can lock in the Sweet Dreams! Mother Mercy struggles for awhile, and tries to overpower the hold but Jane has locked it in so well that she can't! Mother Mercy has no choice but to tap out! That makes Sweet Jane the first ever AOE Women's Champion after a very good back and forth matchup.

Backstage, we see Gunslinger in a dark room where he looks at the ground. Gunslinger brings up his recent loss, where he made many rookie mistakes against Mack Caliber. Gunslinger says despite not being in the battle royale, he will come back stronger and there's absolutely no one that can stop him when the horses ride along his side.

the Over-Knights vs Final Fantasy for the AOE Tag Team Championship
Our co-main event is a good one, as we have two very good and flashy tag teams going up against each other to crown the first ever tag team champions. Final Fantasy and the Over-Knights go at it for awhile. The power of Massive Gaines and the speed of Jackson Good proves to work very well, as Avarice and Lion Hero begin to struggle to stand as a unit. However, like said before, Avarice and Lion Hero are two very good wrestlers that make a great tag team, and that allows them to get a sequence of moves to finish Jackson Good off with Avarice's 7th Sin finisher, then a top rope Mighty Roar from Lion Hero to make Final Fantasy the first ever AOE Tag Team Champions.

Monstro vs Son of Samoa for the AOE World Championship
It's main event time, as the winner of the Battle Royale Son of Samoa goes one on one with Monstro. It's a hoss fight, as both men ram into each other and swing all they have into each other. It's back and forth, neither dropping for awhile. Eventually it's the stronger Monstro who gains the advantage, with multiple punches to the jaw and ribs of Son of Samoa. Monstro continues the attack, but Son of Samoa fights back stronger. After a fallaway slam, Son of Samoa rolls out where he goes to the top rope in an attempt to hit a Samoan Splash. When he goes for it, he crashes and burns straight into the mat as Monstro gets up, grabs Son of Samoa and lifts him up where he drops him straight down onto his knee to hit the Spinal Snap! Son of Samoa hasn't moved since that, and Monstro lies only his hand on his  chest, as the referee counts three to make Monstro your first ever AOE World Champion.

Showtime
Held at Canada Centre
February Week 1, Year 1

To open up Showtime, we get a promo from AOE founder and owner Blaine Fantasy who comes down to the ring. Blaine says that he is pleased to announce that the next AOE P4V for this month, will be Couples Therapy! At Couples Therapy it will be a 4 team tournament between 4 of the best mixed tag teams in AOE. The winning team of that tournament will get a World Title shot and Women's title shot respectively. Blaine wishes everyone luck as he will be watching for the best mixed tag team combos.

Intruder vs Claymore The Brave
Not a very long opening match, two guys who are at the lower part of the AOE roster going at it. Intruder started the match on the attack, immediately going after Claymore The Brave. Intruder's control of the match didn't last long, as a running lariat turned into Claymore nailing him with the Lacerator to get a quick and easy victory.

Eliza Brat vs Magdalena
Up next was Eliza Brat finally stepping in the ring after managing Richie Billions the past couple of shows. However, Eliza may need to stay out of the ring because in this match Magdalena easily dominates her and doesn't give her much time to get offense as she lays Eliza out with Jewel of the Nile.

Jin Kinji vs Chester Blood
After Kinji lost to Richie Billions, Chester Blood had something to say on social media about Kinji; thus setting this match up. Chester Blood had a really good showing this match, showing some of the viciousness that his father Keith Blood had. However, it doesn't matter how hungry Chester was in this match, Kinji had something to prove to a man who was making fun of him and left Chester out cold after he connected with the Epic-Plex.

After the match is over, we see a video package of Ego Stevens. Ego Stevens puts over that he's an amazing wrestler, and next week he will grace everyone's TVs when he makes his AOE debut.

Amari Fang, King Solomon, and Kongo Kid vs Flint Decker, Max, and Rex Harmony
In the main event we see Southern Tropic going head to head with The VIPs. It's a somewhat balanced three on three match for awhile, but Decker starts to bring it up a notch; still not happy King Solomon pinned him to get the number ten spot in the Battle Royale matchup. Decker targets Solomon's knee the entire match, trying to chop the big man down. It works however, and Solomon tags out to Amari Fang while he rests outside the ring for a considerable amount of time. While Fang is exchanging moves with Max Harmony, Rex Harmony and Flint Decker pull Kongo Kid off the apron and attack him, and stomp Solomon down for a longer period of time. Decker gets in the ring and attacks Fang when he gets the upperhand.  Total Harmony and Flint Decker toy with Fang for a bit, then hit their finishing sequence on Fang. Decker watches on, as Max and Rex nail Fang with the Stereo Blast to take the win in a very competitive main event.

Thursday Night Spotlight
Held at Mojito Beach
February Week 2, Year 1

Ego Stevens vs Grand Manga
We start Thursday Night Spotlight off the bat with some wrestling, as Ego Stevens makes his promised debut. Ego Stevens goes head to head with Japanese legend Grand Manga. Manga has slowed down in these past years, but you can't doubt that he's still a tough competitor, as Ego Stevens struggles to put him down for quite awhile. After Stevens hold the advantage for awhile, he doesn't go to ending the match but moreso proving a point. This allows Grand Manga to come back and dropkick Stevens out the ring. Manga runs up to the top rope, going for a top rope crossbody but Stevens catches him. Stevens nails Grand Manga with a fallaway slam against the barricade, but Steven's arrogance and lack of awareness leads for his head to crash into the railing as well. Stevens is out cold, and Manga is laid out on the top of the barricade, as the referee counts to ten; calling a double count out.

Carolina Strutter is seen backstage, cutting a promo with the camera on her. She brings up that she's wrestling royalty and it's a shame that she wasn't in the first match to crown the AOE Women's Champion, but it's okay because she's going to get revenge on Destiny for that "fluke victory" that she pulled out on her. Strutter says Destiny better hope she gives mercy.. But there's no point because she won't.

Gunslinger and Tempest vs Monstro and Andromeda
The new AOE World Champion Monstro is finally in action, alongside his lady Andromeda. The two face a great challenge in Gunslinger and Tempest, who both aren't holding back. Andromeda starts to struggle with Tempest, and that's when Monstro tags himself in, inter-gender rules allowed in this match. Monstro lays it in with a brutal punch to Tempest, and continues the attack. The attack gets so bad that the referee has to try and tug Monstro off, but he shoves the referee away. Gunslinger rolls in the way and tackles Monstro down, laying in on him. Since the referee is down, Andromeda rolls in with a chair and cracks it straight on the back of Gunslinger. She drops the chair out the ring and shoves Gunslinger out the ring. Tempest barely gets up and knocks Andromeda out the ring, where she turns straight to Monstro who chokes her and lifts her up to drop her straight on his knee for the Spinal Snap! Tempest, just like Son of Samoa shows no sign of consciousness as Monstro pins her to get the victory.

AOE Interview Cutie Pie is now on camera, as she stands alongside Mack Caliber. Cutie Pie asks Caliber where he's headed now that he lost the Battle Royale but got the elimination on Zeta Quade like he promised. Caliber says that it's far from over between him and Quade and if he wants a fight, he'll be here waiting anytime. Once he's done with Quade, it'll be time to focus on bigger things now that he's taken down the company's posterboy.

Richie Billions (c) vs King Solomon for the AOE International Championship
One task of being the AOE International Champion is that you have to be a fighting champion. Richie B is starting to understand this as he defends against King Solomon. Unfortunately for Richie Billions, he's outmatched in every way and every time gets control of the match it doesn't last long as Solomon overpowers him. After awhile, Richie B rolls out and tries to take the count out loss until Solomon grabs him and throws him back in the ring. Richie B sloppily gets up to his feet where he turns around to Solomon who plants him with the Final Judgement to become the NEW AOE International Champion! King Solomon celebrates the victory as he stands tall with the belt, but he doesn't get to celebrate his win as The VIPs attack him from behind! Flint Decker and Total Harmony stomp Solomon down, and when Decker goes to finish him off, there enters the arrival of Amari Fang and Kongo Kid who run The VIPs away. The show ends with Fang and Kongo helping up Solomon while Decker and Total Harmony laugh on stage.

Sports Entertainment Live
Held at Empire Gardens
February Week 3, Year 1


The commentators welcome us to Sports Entertainment Live, the flagship show of AOE. Before we get started with any matches, the commentators announce that tonight's main event will be Zeta Quade versus Mack Caliber in a steel cage match, where the winner will face Monstro for the AOE World Championship at Couples Therapy.

Brick City vs Total Harmony
In this matchup, it was also announced that the winner will face Final Fantasy at Couples Therapy for the AOE Tag Team Championhip. Both teams put it all on the line out there, but Total Harmony had a significant edge that may have been obtained after teaming with Flint Decker to get them the victory. Total Harmony finished Brick City off with a Stereo Blast to both at the same time.

After that, Rod Codger stands at the interview area with Flint Decker, who watches the TV, happy with the display by Total Harmony. Codger asks Decker where his alliance started with Total Harmony. Decker says they've gained a reputation of being one of the best tag teams in the world, and they never once needed to go to WrestleWorld, a place his father told him to avoid. He's going to follow in his father's footsteps and become champion as he plans to usurp the AOE International Championship from King Solomon. Unfortunately it won't happen at Couples Therapy because Solomon is at home nursing the injuries he and Total Harmony gave him.. But it will happen very soon.

Black Plague vs Jackson Good
We finally see the debut of Black Plague and despite coming to the ring in a somewhat small frame, he makes quick work of Jackson Good. Jackson tries his hardest to fight against Black Plague, but he has a lot of clear power. Plague finishes Good off with his finisher, that he names the Plaguebringer. Black Plague stands tall in the center of the ring after his victory, and this may spell disaster for those in the lightweight division.

Abe Buckingham vs McBastard
Speaking of the lightweight division, Buckingham and McBastard are fighting for a shot at the AOE Lightweight Championship at Couples Therapy. Two very fast wrestlers, Buckingham uses his aerial skills to evade the striking of McBastard. A few points in this match  McBastard trapped Buckingham and could've finished him off with a plethora of strikes, however he didn't which gave Buckingham the chance to take advantage and finish off McBastard with the Air Raid.

Zeta Quade vs Mack Caliber in a Steel Cage
This match isn't just about the world title shot, it's about Caliber's clear hatred for Zeta Quade, saying he's a posterboy that deserves nothing in this company. The moment Caliber enters the cage, Quade attacks him and a brawl starts. As remarked by commentators, the only way to win the match is by pinfall or submission. Leaving the cage is not a victory, and instead a forfeit. Mack Caliber isn't scared of Quade or tries to run away, instead he's dishing shots just a powerful as Quade's. Both men go at it for awhile, and it looks like there's no stopping either man. The match comes to it's concluding end after Caliber nails a top rope back suplex, bridging it after to get the pinfall victory! Mack Caliber gets up and celebrates the win in the vicious matfchup, but Quade says something to the referee, not fully heard on camera but something along the lines his shoulder was up but Caliber's was down. We don't get to fully elaborate as the broadcast ends, and Caliber exits the cage and celebrates his win on the stage.
