JWA Glory Episode 173 - Destiny Preview Tag Match

[Kip Whistler]

Greetings, grapple fans!

It's hard to believe, but we're only one week away from JWA Destiny! Tonight's main event is a special preview battle for next week's big event, as World Heavyweight Champion Arizona Chance teams up with Red Pirate Rogers to take on Chad Shredsbury and Mack Caliber! Arizona will be defending the title against Chad next week, and Rogers will be looking to settle a score with Caliber next week as well. We know the history that Arizona and Red have as the tag team known as The Adventurers outside of JWA, but we don't know how Chad and Mack will work together as a team. I would think it would be in their best interest to get on the same page here tonight, but both men tend to do whatever they want so who knows what will transpire here tonight? It's all just an appetizer for next week's big event, and I, for one, cannot wait!

(The polls will be open for at least 24 hours. It doesn't matter who you vote for, just that you participate!)

We found out last week that it will be The Mean Queen Jessie Aldean challenging Daisy Turner for the JWA Women's World Championship at Destiny when she defeated Artemis and Winter Hex in a 3 way battle. There's history between Daisy and the former Miss Jessie, so that should end up being one heck of a fight next week. We hope to hear from both champion and challenger during tonight's show.

Also next week at Destiny will be the match for the JWA World Tag Team Championship when Duke Mongoose & Penguino defend against the newly formed Legado Del Infierno, that being a combination of Omega Satyros, Diablo, and The Black Cat. Duke's big mouth got them into this situation, and it appears that his big mouth could be making things worse if social media from over the weekend is any indication. We're still not sure which pair will challenge next week, but perhaps we'll get the answer tonight. In all of this, Penguino seems content just to have a match at Destiny and hopefully retain the gold. Good for him!

"Lord" Taylor Thorin has officially disbanded the East India Trading Company, by way of his victory in the 4 vs 4 elimination match against The Mutiny and by ransacking the head offices last week. It would appear that much of the JWA undercard will have to go back to being their plain old selves again. As for his Lordship, has he turned over a new leaf?

It looks like The Greatest Wrestler OF DOOM is on his way back to JWA. Heaven help us.

We hope to get an update on "Relentless" Conor Caine's recovery, the future plans of Bad Luck Bradley, and so much more. But for now, let's get this show underway! Get out there and work your gimmick!

[Duke Mongoose]

(Toni Cruise is standing backstage next to a wall with a target drawn on it)

Toni: Fans, I'm live here in the back of the JWA Studio where apparently Duke Mongoose has requested this time.

(Duke walks into frame, wearing a shirt that reads "Tougher Than Girl Scouts")

Duke: That's right, Toni Spumoni! I requested this time to show The Black Cat and the rest of his Lego Del Taco buddies that Big Daddy Duke is tougher than nails, definitely tougher than some girl scouts, and a man who doesn't back down from a challenge! Now, you see that target on the wall?

Toni: Yes, we were wondering about that.

Duke: The Black Cat seems to thing he's clever by saying that I should run head first into a brick wall during the tag match next week and try to kick out at two, just because that's supposedly what happened to him that caused him to get pinned by a girl scout! Well, Big Daddy Duke says 'why wait'? I got a brick wall right here, and I'll run head first into it. Afterward, you can put a foot on my chest and I guarantee I'll be out by two. Hell, I'll kick out at one! Now, if you'll just move to the right a tad...

Toni: Uhh, this seems like a terrible idea. You really shouldn't-

Duke: Don't you dare try to stop me! I'll probably run right through that wall, rendering this whole exercise moot! Now, on the count of three! ONE! TWO!

(Penguino and Johnny Kobra rush into the scene and get between Duke and the wall)

Toni: It appears that level heads are prevailing and Duke's tag team partner and ally have come out here to prevent him from doing something incredibly foolish.

Duke: GET OUTTA MY WAY! I GOTTA PROVE TO THOSE LEGOS THAT BIG DADDY DUKE IS THE BADDEST DUDE!

(Penguino slaps Duke across the face, seemingly knocking him for a loop. Duke slumps into a seated position on the ground)

Toni: Duke, are you alright?

Duke: What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Why is there a target on the wall? Is there a human cannonball act tonight?

Toni: In a manner of speaking, yes. You were about to run into that wall.

Duke: I was? Why?

Toni: I'm not sure, exactly. To prove a point about being tough to Legado Del Infierno ahead of your World Tag Team Championship match next week?

Duke: OH YEAH! (Duke springs to his feet) OUTTA MY WAY!

(Duke runs through Penguino and Johnny Kobra, running head first into the brick wall. Duke is immediately flat on his back, semi-conscious. Penguino puts a foot on Duke's chest and Johnny Kobra counts to three. Penguino and Kobra look at each other and shake their heads, then look at Toni who is looking on in disbelief. Penguino and Kobra leave the the scene as Duke begins to regain consciousness)

Toni: Duke? Are you alright?

Duke: KICKED OUT AT TWO, I DID! SEE! YOU AIN'T TOUGHER THAN BAG DADDY DORK!

Toni: I think you need medical attention. You just called yourself "Bag Daddy Dork".

Duke: Bag Daddy Dork? I beat that clown back in Memphis! Just ask Bad Luck Bradley! He'll tell ya! Now who hit me? I'll clobber 'em!

Toni: Fans, we'll get a doctor to check on Dork - I mean Duke - while we take a quick commercial break. Stay tuned!

[Chad Shredsbury]

“Good Vibrations” hits and Chad Shredsbury struts to the ring with an open beach shirt, sunglasses and his J1 Pinnacle Surfboard.

LeRay. Oh Lord. I forgot he switched his music…

Beeman. Now you’re going to insult The Beach Boys? As if Brian Wilson isn’t an American songwriting genius!

LeRay. Will you stop?

Chad drops to a knee and throws up the hang loose to a chorus of boos.

LeRay. A well deserved Bronx Cheer for the beach bum. A telling sign that his partner doesn’t appear to be on the way to the ring with him.

Beeman. Yeah. And you really think those egomaniacs Rogers and Chance can get along?

["The Reminiscer" Winter Hex]

Backstage outside the Women's Locker Room. Toni Cruise and Tasha West are outside the door

Toni: It's been a wild ride within the seasonal family. Bethany getting the AOE Hardcore Championship off The Black Cat to which Evelyn got it off her then off camera Winter helped Bethany get the title back then on JWA Mania Winter took the title off of her. Now let's talk to the woman herself. "The Reminiscer" Winter Hex.

As Toni opens the door we see Winter lying asleep. Next to her is a pack of open cookies and a cookie lying on top of her. (You know what that means). Tasha notices the cookie and... 1, 2, 3! Cookie is the NEW AOE Hardcore Champion!

The pin count woke Winter up who now just realised she lost the belt to a damn cookie. Tasha picks up the cookie and present it with the belt. Not long after that Winter with amazing precision kicks the cookie and it crumbles to bits

Tasha: The cookie gives up, new champion

Winter Hex is the NEW AOE Hardcore Champion!

Winter: That's what I thought, my darling. Ah yes, the match is going on now. So if you'd excuse me I'll be keeping a close eye on this match. So for the duration of this program I'll sit up, ass out and enjoy that match.

[Omega Satyros]

Toni: Black Cat, I understand Omega and Diablo are prepping for a match tonight, any chance I can squeeze you in for an interview?

Black Cat: No problem

The camera's begin rolling.

Toni: And my guest at this time, Black Cat. I'm sure you saw what just transpired with Duke Mongoose. Any comments.

Black Cat: The fact he decided to take my rhetorical prompt and possibly concuss himself before this tag match, is on him. I feel bad for Penguino if that ends up costing him the titles.

Toni: And any comment on what transpired with Winter and the AOE Hardcore Title.

Black Cat: I knew Winter could sink low, but did it really take that brutal of a move to pin her 10 year old niece? Bethany didn't deserve that.

Legado Del Infierno vs. Suddenly Seymour and Earl Jackson

LeRay: It's Tag Action as Legado Del Infierno goes up against Suddenly Seymour and Earl Jackson.

Beeman: The Tag Title match needs to be postponed. Duke Mongoose deserves time to recover after that dastardly trick Black Cat pulled on him.

LeRay: Dastardly trick, Duke Mongoose ran headfirst into a wall of his own volition. 

The match begins with Earl Jackson and Diablo. Diablo quickly plants Earl with the Devil's Kiss, going for the pin. Seymour's just barely able to break it. Diablo plants Seymour with a DDT and rolls him out of the ring. He tags in Omega before delivering a tope suicida to Seymour. Omega plants Earl with a Satyr Kick. 1. 2. 3!

LeRay: Quick work for Legado Del Infierno. And an extra dagger for Duke Mongoose, seeing as the last time he met these two, it resulted in a shocking upset for Seymour.

Beeman: Lego Del Taco are going to collapse after Omega proved yet again that he can't win when it matters.

LeRay: Well, we'll find out next week at Destiny.

[Daisy Turner]

Sal: I am standing here with the JWA Women's World Champion, Daisy Turner.

Daisy Walks out greeting the fans, hi fives, hugs before getting in the ring with Sal

Sal: Now Daisy, I am sure you are aware of your title match at JWA Destiny up against "The Mean Queen" Jessie Aldean. May I ask your opinions?

Daisy: Sure thing Sal. You see I make my legacy known by competing against some of the best woman the world have ever seen. Any at Destiny it'll be no different. Jessie, Winter and Artemis tore the house down last week and that night it was Jessie who prevailed victorious. Now I have gone up against Jessie before however this time is different as I am sure this isn't the inexperience, all about looks Jessie. This is a Jessie who is here to kick ass and take some names. Which for me means a fresh challenger and we all know I love fresh challengers. So Jessie be prepared and bring all you've got for JWA Destiny because I want this match to be the one that gets people talking. I want this match to be match of the night. Let's start the year off right with an already MOTY contender.

Sal: Now Daisy, I must bring up Chief Buffalo in this equation. Do you have any strategies to deal with Buffalo?

Daisy: Now yes it is true Jessie will outnumber me in this match but Buffalo you know full well how I play. You want to mess with me, I'll mess with you. You want to give your girl the upper advantage? Well guess what? If you try one little thing, I'll kick your ass straight and simple, don't believe me? Go ask Haruki Enyu. I'm use to being outnumbered. I've dealt with Pink Satin alongside the entirety of Satin Jackets on Mania. I've dealt with Winter Hex alongside Jessie herself and Joel. But being outnumbered, all that does is open dirty opportunities for Jessie. So Jessie, If you want to fight like a real woman, why don't you leave Chief Buffalo to the back while we fight it out.

Sal: Now I would like to ask for an update on Sakura Watanabe. How is she doing over in Japan?

Daisy: Sakura is doing just fine. Preparing for a big match on the weekend and all I'd like to say to Sakura is good luck. Kick Kazuko's ass, release that fighting spirit we know you possess and put her through hell.

OOC: It happened again! How does she keep getting in to JWA shows?

[“heartBROKEN” Mack Caliber]

After Chad’s great entrance to a bad song ends, my music hits and I bust through the curtain to a chorus of boos. I have a microphone in hand.

It’s about time I showed you again all what Mack is all about.
It’s time again to make the ladies swoon and the men, well, they gonna shout.
Out with the old guard, like AriBROna Chance, and in with the new.
Out with the old pirate, FORMER leader of his Colorful Crew.

In with the new Chad, who shredded his old name to rise to the top.
In with the Mack Daddy, the man with the rhymes that just don’t stop.
So, Red and Zona, exit stage left, don’t bother to take a bow.
Your time was then, and as for me and Chad? Our time is now.

I drop the microphone and sprint to the ring, sliding under the ropes and joining Chad as we wait for the two old guys.

[Thumper Moore III]

Hysteria by Muse begins to play as the arena goes black. As the guitar begins, two spotlights silhouette Arizona Chance and Red Pirate Rogers. When the full band would kick in, the arena lights flood the area with white light while a cannon goes off, and the music switches to Pirate King…

The classic theme plays, and the Adventures March to the ring with a classic high fiving, back slapping, baby kissing entrance. Red even pauses to take a pic with little kids in red masks, and Arizona gives away a fedora ringside.

The two climb in and pose, and Mack and Chad quickly jump them from behind but the good guys give as good as they get and the bell rings with a fracas, before long Chad and Zina tumble outside and red and Mack are left in the ring

[“heartBROKEN” Mack Caliber]

I quickly toss Red over the top rope and to the floor. I grab Red and throw him into the barricade, and his back hits with a crack. I run at him to smash him into the barricade again, but he ducks and I go over and into the crowd. He reaches over for me, but I grab a kid’s drink and throw it in his face, blinding him for a moment, then I spring up to the top of the barricade, and launch myself into him with a flying clothesline.

Out of the corner of my eye I see Chad and Arizona near the entryway, and Chad hits a vertical suplex on the metal stage. I cringe and smile at the same time.

I roll Red into the ring, and the ref chastises me. I slide in, stand up, and get clobbered with a clothesline from Red. Should’ve seen that coming. But Chad is in my corner and there’s no Arizona in Red’s, so I roll over and make the tag.

[Thumper Moore III]

LERAY: Arizona appears to be out of the action for a moment, as Doc Simpson is waving his team over to check him out on the entrance ramp. It looks like on replay— OOOOH, he landed head first on the stage. Zona is sitting up, so that’s a good sign.

BEEMAN: I am looking forward to him potentially having the fewest number of title defenses— zero. Shame if he couldn’t compete and hit to forfeit his title to Shredsbury.

LERAY: Speaking of Chad, he has gained the advantage over Rogers, and is wearing him out with kicks to the midsection. Chad picks up Rogers— it’s a body slam, accentuated by pausing in the lift and flexing one arm. What strength displayed by the Californian.

BEEMAN: He has every advantage over Arizona in their title match at Destiny: strength, size, smarts, desire, and character.

LERAY: Character?

BEEMAN: He beat Rogers fair and square already, he’ll be a part of the winning team again today, and he’ll carry that momentum to a victory. You’re looking at your new— hey, wait a minute? Where’d he come from?

LERAY: Chance has returned! He sprinted into the ring and he’s wailing away on Shredsbury! Chad is knocked back, and Chance vaults the ropes to get to his corner, he’s begging Rogers for the tag— Red rolls over and gives him one! Chance springs into action and chases Chad… who scrambled to his corner and tags in Caliber. Arizona starts screaming at Chad, who just smiles at Arizona from behind the ropes!

BEEMAN: That’s why he’ll win!

LERAY: Because he can run away faster than Arizona can chase him?

BEEMAN: Yea— no, dummy! It’s because Arizona’s emotions are being played like a fiddle!

[“heartBROKEN” Mack Caliber]

I get right up in Zona’s ugly face and remind him that I’m every bit as dangerous as he remembers. I pie face him, and he swings wildly at me. I duck under, grab him around the waist, and hit a Blue Thunder Bomb. Chad was right— make him mad, then he comes right to you.

I bounce off the ropes and hit a fist drop. Too easy. I grab him and pick him up on my shoulders, launch him skyward, and as I’m waiting to punch his head off with the Magnum Slug I see him shift his body in midair and he connects with a kick to my face. I’m a little shook, so I turn to my corner— Chad drops off the apron, says stick to the plan.

I nod— we wear down each other’s opponents, since Zona wants him and Red wants me. As Zona closes in, I kip up and hit a couple gut punches, whip him into his corner where he tags Red, then Chad jumps back up and accepts my tag.

[Chad Shredsbury]

LeRay:  It's like Mack and Chad want no part of their respective opponents here tonight, Sean.

Beeman:  Mind games, LeRay  These do-gooder Adventurers are being exposed for the misanthropic hot heads that they are!!

LeRay:  Misan-- what?!  Well, the hot tags have led to right now, where Chad and Red charge one another, Red ducks under and comes in hot off the ropes with a lariat that wipes out the surfer.

Beeman:  Ouch.

LeRay:  And Rogers now comes in with a basement dropkick to Shredsbury and the tide has most certainly turned!

Beeman:  Cool it with the surf puns, LeRay.  Try to be a professional for once in your life!  Rogers coming off the ropes again and he seems to have hit the ropes too hard as his back has given out.

LeRay:  Mack Caliber kneed him in the back from the apron!  It was clear as day!

Beeman:  I saw nothing!

LeRay:  Now who's being unprofessional?

Beeman:  Not Chad Shredsbury, as he delivers a very professional superkick to the teeth of the scallywag Rogers!
