JWA presents...

DESTINY 2024

(Dramatic music plays over a black and white video showing slow-motion highlights from the J-1 Pinnacle Tournament. The final image is of Chad Shredsbury standing in the center of the ring with the trophy, as we hear “Chad Shredsbury has got a date with Destiny!” The music picks up and we see action highlights from the past few weeks of Glory, ending on a clip of Shredsbury laying out Arizona Chance during their face to face, followed by a clip of Chance and Red Pirate Rogers double teaming Shredsbury leading to Red getting the pin in the preview match. A graphic displays “JWA DESTINY” as we switch to a sweeping shot of the arena, passing the ring which is surrounded by a giant cell cage, finally settling on Mick LeRay and Sean Beeman at the commentary desk)

LeRay: Hello, wrestling fans! We’re coming to you live and direct on pay per view for JWA Destiny! I’m Mick LeRay, joined as always by “Savvy” Sean Beeman!

Beeman: All these morons cheering right now are going to be going home disappointed, because we’re going to see a new World Heavyweight Champion crowned here tonight!

LeRay: Indeed, Arizona Chance’s title is in serious jeopardy in tonight’s main event. We’ve got a huge card for you tonight, and here to tell us all about it is our own Toni Cruise. Toni, take it away!

(We cut to Toni Cruise who is standing in the entrance way in front of the jumbo screen where graphics for the matches are displayed)

Toni: Fans, starting off tonight’s event will be a no time limit prison cell match! Sakura Watanabe takes on Kazuko Jin! This is a special grudge match featuring two of the top stars from Japan. We’ve seen things escalate between these two over the past few months, and they’ll be looking to settle things once and for all here tonight!

Next up is another grudge match, one fall with a 30 minute time limit, pitting Red Pirate Rogers against Mack Caliber! Mack made his shocking return in the J-1 Pinnacle Finals and cost his former tag team partner the match. The issues between these two go back to Rogers’ title win during Mack’s absence. Mack feels that he’s been wronged by the Crimson Captain - is he right? He’ll have a chance to make a statement here tonight, but knowing Red it won’t be an easy night.

Then we’ve got our JWA Women’s World Championship match - one fall, 60 minute time limit - as Daisy Turner looks to defend against “The Mean Queen” Jessie Aldean! The former Miss Jessie has burst back onto the scene here in JWA and has wasted no time making an impact. With the big Chief Buffalo in her corner, she poses an incredible threat to our Aussie champion. Not only that, but with Artemis and her Hunters lurking around, as well as whatever Winter Hex is up to, who knows what could transpire here tonight!

Following that is our JWA World Tag Team Championship match - one fall, 60 minute time limit - where Duke Mongoose & Penguino will look to defend their title against the challenge of Legado Del Infierno! Following a successful defense against the Bad Luck Bros, Duke Mongoose put out an open challenge of sorts, and the team of Omega Satyros and Diablo have accepted. We’ve only seen glimpses of LDI in action, so it’s hard to say what kind of a challenge they pose to the “forever champs” as Duke likes to say. One thing we know for certain is that when Duke and Penguino get on the same page, they’re a formidable force in the ring!

Then we’ve got our main event for the JWA World Heavyweight Championship - one fall, 60 minute time limit - Arizona Chance defends against Chad Shredsbury! This is the big one, folks! Chad Shredsbury revealed his true self earlier this year and, despite severing friendships and losing fan support, he managed to capture the J-1 Pinnacle Trophy and this championship opportunity. While many feel betrayed by Shredsbury’s actions, you can’t argue with his success. His opponent, Arizona, is currently in his history making third championship reign. This reign could be historical for another reason, because if Chad manages to win here tonight then Arizona will have no successful title defenses. Obviously Chance doesn’t want to be in the record books for such a dubious distinction. We’ve seen things heating up between these two ever since the J-1 finals, and we don’t have to wait long to find out who’s going to walk out of Destiny the champion! Mick and Sean, back to you!

(The camera comes back to Mick and Sean at the desk. Sean is wearing a Chad Shredsbury fake abs shirt and holding a tiny surfboard)

LeRay: Thank you so much, Toni. Well, even a blind man can see who you’re rooting for tonight, Sean.

Beeman: They guy has great merch, what can I say?

LeRay: Let’s get your predictions for the rest of the card. Who do you see walking out the winner of the grudge match between Rogers and Caliber?

Beeman: Caliber, no question! Mack just told everyone what I’ve known about Rogers all along, and that’s the fact that he’s a self-centered narcissist who doesn’t care about anyone or anything.

LeRay: That sounds like you’re describing yourself, but I digress. Who’s your pick in the Women’s World Championship match?

Beeman: It’s hard to argue with a woman who’s got the big chief in her corner. I’m calling it right now - The Mean Queen will be the new queen of JWA!

LeRay: How about the World Tag Team Championship match?

Beeman: Big Daddy Duke calls them the “forever champs” for a reason, Mick. Tonight Duke and his boy Penguino are going to make Diablo wish he’d stayed retired and make Satyros wish he’d stayed frozen in time!

LeRay: And we all know you’re rooting for Chad Shredsbury in the main event, but tonight’s action kicks off with a special treat. We’ve got a Prison Cell match between Sakura Watanabe and Kazuko Jin, and that starts right now!

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

[Daisy Turner]

Bara Wa Utsukushiku Chiru plays and here comes the mysterious not very known Kazuko Jin. But it looks like she has brought trouble. She has brought her Akushitsu gang with her. They all walked with her to the ring however to prove Kazuko is a tough girl they all walked off at her command. The entrance was filled with class and pure evil. After her entrance finished all that was left was for Sakura to come out. Just like that, The Imperial Carnival plays and she descends from the arena sky. After she hits the ring the prison cell begins to lower when just like that Kazuko sends a flying forearm her way taking her down

LeRay: What the hell! That's not sportswoman like

Beeman: Who cares? It's no disqualification, she can do all she likes, look at her know just continuously punching her down.

Sakura rolls out of the ring and Kazuko continues, she puts the 2 legged Boston Crab on her outside the ring, while Sakura is in pain she didn't know the real danger coming her way

LeRay: Sean look! The cell is still coming down, It's going to fall on Sakura!

Beeman: Doesn't look like Kazuko is letting go! This may be a quick and easy match

LeRay is panicking just like the audience however it was a near experience as Sakura was able to roll out into a sunset flipping position just as the cell descended to the bottom. Both woman are on the outside and the referee decides to ring the bell.

LeRay: Well the match begins on the outside, something you don't see often in these types of matches, and to remind everyone, this is falls count anywhere.

Kazuko gets up and drags Sakura up by the hair she then slams her head on the cell wall 1, 2, 3, 4 times. Sakura now sitting tries to climb back up and fortunately dodges a spear from Kazuko who runs straight into the wall. Sakura already is bleeding on the back of the head and Kazuko just started bleeding on her face. Sakura needs to find some time to catch her breath and her mind thinks one thing "Only way to go is up"

(1/4)

[Daisy Turner]

Sakura begins to climb the cell and one she gets to the top she lies there and just breathes. Kazuko seeing this decides to climb herself. Kazuko says something that can be heard through the camera "今行ってる。".

Beeman: For those who didn't understand she said "I'm coming"

LeRay: I didn't know you knew Japanese

Beeman: I do. I just prefer to translate those I can tolerate. AKA: Not Sakura

Kazuko gets to the top and Sakura gets to her feet she proceeds to stomp at Kazuko. Kazuko almost falling catches one of her feet. She doesn't let go. Sakura didn't want to risk trying to pry it out and potentially falling herself so she sat and accidentally helped Kazuko up. When Kazuko got up she immediately mounted Sakura giving stiff blows to her face. Sakura pry's her off and stands. Giving her a couple of kicks to the abdomen and sometimes the head

LeRay: These women outright hate each other. This match may end ugly

Kazuko gets to her knees and tackles her down. She picks her up and gives her a bodyslam, she repeats with picking her up and giving her a bodyslam 2 more times. What is her plan?

LeRay: Hold on. Is she trying to... Break the roof?!

Beeman: You jinxed it Mick! You said it was going to get ugly and now it is

Kazuko gets her in a pedigree position however lifts her up into a powerbomb position

LeRay: uh oh, I think this could be the finishing blow

(2/4)

[Daisy Turner]

Kazuko lifts Sakura up and powerbombs her down. But it still didn't break!

Beeman: How in the hell did it not break! Either Sakura is light light or that steel is made out of Hercules hair

Just like that the other member of Akushitsu come out with wire cutters

LeRay: I knew from the moment they joined her in Kazuko's entrance I knew they would be trouble but what are their plans with the wire cutters?

They climb the cell with the cutters and when they reach the top they begin cutting the wires around Sakura. It takes a couple of second with 4 people working on it and when they finish the little square on the roof collapses to the ring mat with Sakura falling on it. Akushitsu laugh as everyone in attendance and possibly everyone backstage and in the locker rooms are panicking on if Sakura is ok.

All of Akushitsu climb down and they lift her up. they send her towards Kazuko who gets her in an adominal stretch and following is the crucifix driver all together she hits the Quetzalcoatl on the broken steel wire 1, 2, 3! Kazuko Jin wins! Almost immediately after the victory they start swarming Sakura with attacks and stomps. Multiple referees and crew members comes out to gets the cell door open and when it finally opens, Akushitsu exit the ring and leave the arena getting booed out of the arena, possibly out of town. When the crew and referees get to Sakura there is a lot of blood. They help her up but she requests a mic. Someone hands her a mic and she begins to speak. What she said is truly heartbreaking.

Sakura: この旅はワイルドだった。そして私は完全な敗者のように感じます。あらゆる重要な瞬間。損失に次ぐ損失だ。私を見て。 私は自分自身の血の海の中にいる。私は疑問に思う。 いつ終わるの？そして私は答えを持っています。 来週。最後のツアーに参加して、来週行きます。 私は終わった。私は米国との関係が終わったと言っているわけではありません。退職する予定です。SUNDOMでできることはすべてやりました。でも、JWA世界女子選手権で優勝できなくても。 あるいはグローリーで勝つか、PPVで勝つか。ここでの時間は本当に充実していました。それで、そのために。 私が言いたいのは…さようなら。

Those who understood her were crying and those who didn't waited until it was announced online. Referees and crew members walk her out and the prison cell was lifted.

(3/3) OOC: I planned to do 4 parts but I just realised I got it done in 3 parts

["The Reminiscer" Winter Hex]

Toni: I am standing here with the AOE Hardcore Champion Winter Hex

Winter: Get it right Miss Antoinette, It's "The Reminiscer" Winter Hex. Now, say it right this time

Toni: It's Toni! Always has been and always will be, Toni! But anyways, I am standing here with the AOE Hardcore Champion "The Reminiscer" Winter Hex. Now you requested time for this interview. May I ask why?

Winter: Well Miss, Toni. I requested time for this interview to remind everyone that I am still and will always be the greatest champion and the greatest wrestler ever known to humankind, Everyone needs to know who the main star of this show is and who will always be the main star of this show. And as the main star, she needs the camera time so that's why I requested this interview. Now-

Winter notices Mack Caliber walking out ready for his match. She interrupts her own interview to go talk with him

Winter: Oh Mr. Caliber! Mr. Caliber! I must have a word with you. I've seen your matches and I've got to say. I am genuinely impressed. If I was Mr. Kipling Whistler I would've scrapped this stupid match against Rodger and put you in a triple threat for the World Championship. You are the perfect triple threat. You have 3 amazing qualities that should be noticed. 1st. Your amazing rhythm. I always liked your... What's it called? Wrapping. 2nd. Your pure strength. It's clear you take advantage of the 24/7 hour gyms. and last but certainly not least. Your ability to stick it to the man. That fake celebrity Hollywood star knows nothing about feature films. He wouldn't cast probably the 3 hottest commodities in his "film" that being: You, I and Chad Shredsbury.

Mack says nothing as he walks out when his music played to which Winter Hex looks at the camera

Winter: Mark my words Mr. Chance, that title belt of yours will be over just like your forgery acting career. The main character now must exit stage left.

Winter Hex exits walking past Toni who had enough of being interrupted. She rolled Winter Hex up and Tasha West was nearby began the count 1, 2, 3! Toni Cruise is the NEW AOE Hardcore Champion! Toni runs off and Winter follows dragging Tasha with her.

[“The Relentless” Conor Caine]

[Later in the night, prior to the main event]

Yuppie VP is in his office, the door to which is open and the corridor outside is alive with production staff and wrestlers milling about as the P4V continues in full flow. Yuppie is on his phone, he’s focused on the call as much as he can be with one hundred and one other things on his checklist before the show ends.

YUPPIE: I don’t have time to talk right now, but thanks for the update.

Yuppie hangs up the phone and strides out of his office; we follow him as he makes his way through the bustling hallways of JWA Studio, passing the gamut of staffers with clipboards and headsets, Toni Cruz and her team, jobbers, midcarders, Bad Luck Bradley doing somelike Brad-like, until he stops at a door and knocks before entering. Kip Whistler sits at his desk with phone in hand, watching the P4V on a monitor.

YUPPIE: Kip, I just got a call from Hito Kizuato: the doctors in Providence say Conor Caine’s surgery this morning was a complete success - better than they expected.

The audience in the studio can be heard cheering for the news.

KIP: Good to know!

Kip goes back to watching the monitor and Yuppie leaves, closing the door behind him.
