PRIDE and Glory (Announcement/O2Reactions)

[Zhafaria Rouge]

The tension inside the arena was building, everyone was on their feet waiting for it to start. Then, suddenly, the lights went out, and across the titantron was displayed the logo for SCW Fight Night '11



Hey kids! Do I have your attention! I know the way you been livin...
Life so reckless tragedy endless, Welcome To The Fam-i-ly

The crowd in the jampacked Wildcard Arena rose to their feet as the Owner of SCW, Zhafaria Rouge, stepped out onto the stage. Smiling and waving towards the crowd, she started to make her way down the ramp.

Mike: Well folks, Here. It. Is. It's SCW Fight Night, I'm Mike Adams here with my broadcast partner Sasha Grey, and tonight is a HUGE night. It is the night where all of our matches will take place under MMA Style rules. I'll let my partner here explain what those are.
Sasha: Thank you Mike. As he said, tonight all of our matches will take place under MMA Style rules. What that means is, in addition to the Cage, or cell if that stipulation is added, being dropped down around the ring, No Pinfalls will be allowed. All of our matches, once again unless they change the stipulations, will be contested under Submission, Last Person Standing, or Knockout Rules.
Mike: That's right, and we have some of our matches already planned out tonight. In our main event, the SCW World Champion Jacob Cruise will take on the #1 Contender, Joe Bruiser, in a 2 out of 3 falls match. That means, which ever man is Pinned, or not able to get up for 10 seconds twice, will be the loser.
Sasha: What about one of them being knocked out Mike?
Mike: Well, I imagine if they're knocked out, and can't be woken up, they'll lose the match right then and there.
Sasha: That is a good point. Also, last week, at the end of a straight up BRAWL between Bombshells champion Nicole Mauler, and now #1 Contender Sara Stone, we saw the announcement for that match being made.
Mike: I can imagine that being a hell of a match Sasha.

As the commentators continued to analyze the night's PPV, Zhafaria had entered the ring. She waited for the crowd to calm down, before starting to speak.

Zhafaria: Welcome everyone, tonight is the world premiere of SCW FIGHT NIGHT!

The crowd booms a cheer of approval.

Zhafaria: Now, tonight I have two important announcements to make. One involving the VERSUS Championship, and one involving the PRIDE title, which will be contested for TONIGHT!

So, up first, the VERSUS title. Our VERSUS Champion, Darkman-X, hasn't been appearing on television in a month, other than matches that I've booked him in. He does not have a #1 Contender, or a challenger for it. That changes, now. Later on tonight, he will be in a VERSUS Title match, facing off against his former adversary Shiggles, one on one for the title, in a 20 minute, Ultimate Submission match!

The crowd is damn near ecstatic at the reveal of that blockbuster match. "Shiggles!" chants start to fill the arena, as well as chants of "Darkman's gonna kill you!".

Zhafaria: And now, for the PRIDE title. From the inception of the idea, I have planned on it being one of the most exciting spectacles in pro wrestling, and tonight it will prove to be. You already saw the first PRIDE match being held, between Matthias Marlfox and Kenji Katana. I noticed he mentioned he was interested in the PRIDE title, and tonight, he gets it. In our first ever PRIDE Title match, it will be Matthias Marlfox, facing off against the man he defeated last week, Apex, and another superstar of my choosing. That's all for my announcement, enjoy the rest of your night folks.

Zhafaria exited the ring and headed backstage as the announcers broke down the two matches which were just announced.

[shiggles]

Well my loving grapefruit grabbing hands were hoping to grab the royal jewels again but the clown is down with the challenge of facing the man I have yet to beat and make kiss my smelly feet..the man known as DMX is in for a fight thou as I hope the break my hex and grab not only my first win over him but to take his precious belt as well.. Stayeth tuned folks!

[Adrian Taylor]

"Hmm... Joe will walk away from this match as the new SCW World Champion tonight. I will personally see to it myself."

~...Adrian said to himself, watching the opening announcement being made by the boss regarding tonight's pay per view. He was inside of the confines of his own personal locker room as he watched. His partner-in-crime had the opportunity to collect some gold for The Empire tonight. If Adrian had anything to say about it, he was going to guarantee that they walk away from this show with the SCW World Championship around Joe's waist. He pulled the laces in his right boot tight after tying them before pushing himself off of his bench.~

"It's game time."

[untouchables]

Rolari: How convenient that Vinzenz & myself are not on this card and left of last week's Anthrax because those chicken shits DMX & Cabal never dared reply to our challenge..

Rolari runs his fingers over his mustache

Rolari: We know Cabal is not doing anything since DMX is defending his title against that freak of nature Shiggles this night.. But we are pretty sure he can find a suitable partner by the time this ppv is to air...

[Matthias Marlfox]

It had finally come. The chance that he had wanted since he got into SCW. Now all he had to do was win. The easy part was getting the match, the hard part is to win it, especially when there is a mystery opponent involved.

"*Sigh* Alright. Going to have to train harder then I ever have before. This will be my moment of triumph, the turning point in my career, or it will be just another disappointing venture. Let's do this."

..::..
He merely laughed as he watched on the monitor. The mohawked boss was trying to make an example of him by feeding him an easy victim, in an easy match, showcasing why he's got the belt.
..::..

And this is why I don't feel the need to talk all the time. Why chase people, when they should be chasing me. Contenders need to step up and challenge, not sit back and watch, or else that's all they'll do, is watch. Shiggles can writhe in pain all night long, and then I'll do what I always do, walk out with the belt, and continue a streak of dominance that's lasted my whole career.

A company so full of promise, and yet so empty of things worth caring about. This belt is all that matters, after that, the pay cheque that will put my kid through college. The rest is dust, dirt, and ignored until I care enough to acknowledge it.

..::..
He leans back against the wall and looks to the belt. Tonight was going to be a long night, but it's nothing out of the ordinary, or challenging for him. He might as well continue to be surprised and let the owner pick his opponents for the rest of his contract duration. Winning against someone he's unprepared for does more for the pride then having months to prepare.

Apex is sitting what could be called his Apex cave. He smiles at the thought of getting another chance to showcase his skill.

Looks like its round two for us Marlfox... yes, lets see if fortune favors you again...
