SBE: Arctic Blast 21 November 2015

[GZG MultiMedia]

A huge explosion is seen and heard as the letters “G” and “W” collides into either side of the letter “Z”.“2K1” comes up underneath the letters of “GZW” crashing into them. The official GZW2K1 logo of the nuclear mushroom booms in red and black before the official motto “The Saga Continues” zooms in and out of the screen.

Special Broadcast Event:

21 Nov 2015

Nelson: Welcome one and all! Even though we are in the dead of winter, we have a HOT show tonight in the Scotiabank Saddledome!

The scene cuts to a ringside table where Patrick Nelson, Joshua Samson, and Todd Crumb are seated. A flaming graphic appears to identify them while a second graphic fills the upper right hand corner of the screen reading, "LIVE/Calgary, Alberta, Canada".

Crumb: THE PROCESS OF CROWNING A NEW GROUNDZERO WRESTLING 2K1 WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION CONTINUES!!

Samson: STILL?! Why don’t we just convince President Monarch to come out of retirement and just give him the belt?

Nelson: Because you know that is not how it works, Samson.

Crumb: Plus I don’t think there is any match in the Globalverse that would be able to entice President Monarch to wrestle again.

Samson: Yeah…since he pretty much beat anyone and everyone when he was active.

Nelson: As much as I would love to wax nostalgia, we do have a broadcast, gentlemen, and it is the continuation of the GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 World Heavyweight Championship tournament! But up first Sean Locke will be taking on the tag team of The Hellcats, Killjoy and Piper Sanchez, in a Handicap match.

Samson: Let’s have a moment of silence right now for No Spine Sean…

Crumb: That’s not funny, Joshua. I think it’s horrible that Sean has to face not one but two of the three Warpath members. Not only that but neither Killjoy or Piper have to tag in or out during the match.

Nelson: The odds are definitely against Locke going into the match. But never let it be said that Sean Locke cannot rise to the occasion.

Samson: Mark my words….this will be the last time we see No Spine Sean…

Nelson: In the Bracket One Semifinal match Joshua Dane takes on John Champa. Due to a contractual technicality, Dane has been able to wrestle once again in a GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 ring.

Crumb: And he has been successful since shedding the personas of Tamer and Jayne “The Desperado” Remington.

Samson: Yeah, yeah, yeah but there is no way in hell he’s going to get by Champa. Now that Warpath is no longer in this tournament, the Big Shot will be the next World Heavyweight Champion.

Nelson: Well the two Globalstars, Kolic and Lady Munin, in the Bracket Two Semifinal match will surely have something to say about that.

Samson: What could Godboy and Lady Itty Bitty possibly have to say?! Godboy is still confused over whether or not he wants to champion the company or be the company’s destroyer. And don’t even get me started on Lady Itty Bitty….she’s better off worrying about the W.C.E.K. TV title!

Crumb: Well I think I agree with you about Kolic. I think he’s seen the folly of his actions and is looking to redeem himself. As far as Lady Munin, from the moment the tournament was announced she has been the odds on favorite to walk out of Aftermath2K15 as the two-time GZW2K1 World Heavyweight Champion!

Nelson: Some of these questions will be answered in due time, but tonight we will see who indeed will be advancing to the Finals of this GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 World Heavyweight Championship tournament! Globalverse, welcome to the Special Broadcast Event: Arctic Blast!

---Backstage---

“What more is there to say?”

The scene opens cold to Kolic walking down the hall inside the Scotiabank Saddledome, addressing the camera as he goes. He's dressed to compete in a plain black shirt and his usual black jeans, which means he's ready to fight even though the match is later into the night.

Kolic: It's me versus Munin, winner takes the TV Title and moves on to the final round. We've said repeatedly how dangerous we consider the other to be, no sense going back over that. I've already commented on how likely it is that the Weakpath will get involved. There isn't much that hasn't been discussed at this point. Well...there are either of our two potential opponents also competing tonight. On the one hand we have John Champa, the man whose ego is so massive I'm shocked it hasn't collapsed into itself and created a black hole. Then again, what personality would he have without that? Better to be insufferable than bland I suppose. On the other, there's Tam-sorry, Joshua Dane. Old habits. He's the more intriguing of the two at this point. By shedding his old identity, he hasn't changed is tactics or moveset, but he's bringing a new attitude to the ring. It's like facing a football team with a new coach; the players may be mostly the same, but they may play the game differently from your expectations.

So Joshua, for my personal sake, I hope you're victorious tonight. I'd much rather fight an opponent where I have to put in the work studying film and changing up my own gameplan than the same ol' same ol' in Champa. For now, however, I have to get past Munin. This brings another football idiom into play: don't run for the end zone before you make the catch. Tonight my focus is 100% on you, Lady. I hope yours is as well.

The camera fades into blackness..

“Throughout history, Globalstars have come and come and gone. They make an impact and then are forgotten. But Icons are never forgotten. Icons live on. And they will continue to live.”

The scene shows the GZW2K1 logo.

“Many Icons have come through GroundZero Wrestling 2K1. Billy Bond. Lord Deacon Kane. Pimp Bizkit. And now new Icons are arising. Joshua Dane. Kolic. John Champa”

As the voice over says each name, that person’s picture is shown.

“So remember. Watch GroundZero Wrestling 2K1. Where Icons are born.”

---Handicap Match: The Hellcats (Killjoy and Piper Sanchez) vs. ”The Spark” Sean Locke---

Torres: The following HANDICAP match is scheduled for ONE FALL!

The melodic guitar strumming of Avenged Sevenfold's ”God Hates Us” fills the arena as the entire crowd begins to boo. The sound of them is nearly drowned out as a striking chord is hit, white lights flashing with the drums. As the song transitions into the main riff, Killjoy and Piper Sanchez walk out on stage. Killjoy walks to the left side of the stage, holding a kendo stick. Piper walks over to the right, shaking her head as she listens to the crowd's reaction. Killjoy and Piper make their way back to the center of the stage and begin walking down the ramp.

They enter into the ring, white and blue lights flashing all over the arena. Killjoy and Piper go to opposite corners and climb the turnbuckles. Piper throws her arms into the air as Killjoy crosses her arms. They hop down, meeting in the middle of the ring as the music begins to fade out.

Nelson: The Hellcats seem confident and with the numbers in their favor, they definitely have reason to be!

Crumb: These girls are in for the shock of their life if they think they’re going to beat Sean! I mean, just look at him!

Samson: Are you high or something?! No Spine Sean has no chance in the Globalverse right now!

"Watch This" by Future begins to play as the crowd stands up to there feet. As the song plays for a few seconds "Sean Locke" scrolls across the screen and a bang is heard as a curtain of blue sparks begins to fall. Sean walks through the sparks with a big smile on his face. He begins walking down the aisle giving high fives to the crowd and stops to pose with a nearby fan holding a sean locke sign. Sean slides into the ring and runs and jumps on the far turnbuckle. He points out to the fans and hops down backing into his corner awaiting his opponent.

Nelson: Sean Locke was eliminated last month at the Special Broadcast Event: Bound by Honor from the GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 World Heavyweight Championship tournament in an epic battle against John Champa.

Samson: As if anyone thought it would turn out any other way!

Tale of the Tape

Killjoy	Piper Sanchez	Name	Sean Locke
5'7	5'9	Height	6'3
161 lbs	131 lbs	Weight	230 lbs
Chandler, AZ	Killeen, TX	Hometown	New York City, NY
Playtime's Over	Greetings from Killeen	Finisher	The Shockwave

Crumb: AND HERE WE GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bell sounds as Piper Sanchez and Killjoy huddle up, glancing over at Locke as he continues to stare at them. Piper and Killjoy move slowly, inching their way to either side of Locke while he moves into the center of the ring. Suddenly, Killjoy makes the first move, running at Locke and clubbing him with a forearm from behind. Locke turns around and looks at Killjoy. Piper spins Locke around and clocks him with a right hand. Locke spins back around and it is Killjoy’s turn to hit him with a right hand as well. Piper and Killjoy grab Locke and whip him to the ropes. On the return, Locke goes for a dual clothesline, but both Piper and Killjoy duck Locke’s attempt. Locke turns around and the Hellcats send him to the mat with a double dropkick! All three competitors get back to their feet and Piper and Killjoy hit Locke with a second double dropkick! Locke crawls to the corner, where he looks at Piper and then Killjoy.

Crumb: This just isn’t fair! How can Sean possible win in a match against two other people?

Samson: That’s the thing…he isn’t going to.

Piper grabs Killjoy and whips her to the corner where Locke is seated. Killjoy uses her momentum and delivers a seated dropkick right to Locke’s face!

Nelson: Oh my goodness!

Piper helps Killjoy pull Locke out of the corner and then runs against the ropes. Piper goes to hit Locke with an elbow drop, but Locke rolls out of the way at the very last second and gets to his feet. Killjoy runs at Locke but Sean catches her with a heel kick, sending her down to the mat. Piper grabs Locke, but Locke knees Piper in the stomach, cutting her momentum off. Locke drags Piper over to the turnbuckle and rams her head into the turnbuckle. Meanwhile, Killjoy is back up on her feet and runs at Locke from behind. Locke sees her coming and moves out of the way. Killjoy slows down, catching herself right before she crashes into Piper in the corner. Locke quickly grabs Killjoy and tosses her over the top rope to the outside of the ring.

Crumb: That’s one way to even up the odds.

Piper kicks Locke in the stomach and nails him with a right hand, then another right hand, then finally a third right hand, sending Locke down to the mat. Piper takes a second to look out at Killjoy, making sure she is fine. Piper turns around and then Locke takes her down with a heel kick! Locke grabs Piper’s legs and puts her into an inverted Texas cloverleaf!

Nelson: Though the numbers’ game benefits the Hellcats, if Sean Locke can isolate them like this, he might have a chance!

Samson: Are you smoking the same thing Crumbbum is?!

Piper yells out in pain as she crawls toward the ropes, trying to break the hold. Killjoy climbs to the top rope. Locke relinquishes the hold on Piper and Killjoy dives off the top rope, nailing Locke with a crossbody! The crowd boos loudly as Killjoy hooks Locke’s leg.

One…

Two...Locke kicks out!

Piper holds her back as she gets to her feet and joins Killjoy’s side. Together they hook onto Locke and send him to the mat with a double suplex!

Samson: So much for that isolation plan, huh, Patticake?

Piper goes to climb to the top rope as Killjoy stomps at Locke, keeping him down on the mat. Piper steadies herself for a moment and then dives off! She lands perfectly on top of Locke, nailing him with a moonsault!

One…

Two…Locke kicks out again!

Crumb: That was a beautiful moonsault by Piper but thankfully Sean was able to kick out of the cover.

Nelson: Locke has proven over the years that he is one of the most resilient Globalstars to ever grace a GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 ring.

Samson: Blah, blah, blah…

Killjoy looks visibly dejected but Piper encourages her to continue. Locke struggles to get to his feet and Killjoy catches him on the side of the head with kick. Piper goes for a kick and catches Locke as he is on his knees, barely managing to stay in that position. Piper runs to the ropes and dashes at Locke, looking for a tornado DDT. Locke holds on to her, lifts her up and over the top rope, and dumps her to the outside! Killjoy makes her way over to Locke, but the Spark grabs her and plants her with a snap DDT! Locke smirks sadistically, contemplating going for a cover, but he decides against doing so. He grabs Killjoy by the hair and lifts her to her feet, only to slam her back down to the mat with a scoop slam! Grabbing her by the hair again, Locke lifts her before slamming her back down to the mat with a second scoop slam! Locke continues to smirk as he lifts Killjoy up by her hair a third time and drills her to the mat with a third scoop slam! This time, Locke goes for the cover!

One…

Two…Killjoy kicks out!

Samson: Good job, Killjoy!

Crumb: Worried, Joshua?

Samson: Shaddup!

Locke grabs Killjoy’s head and slams it back down to the ma before getting to his feet. Locke takes a step back, waiting for Killjoy to get to her feet. Piper climbs on to the apron, but Locke sees her and nails her with a clothesline, knocking her back down to the outside. Locke turns his attention back to Killjoy, stalking her as she rises to her feet. Locke performs a double underhook backbreaker! Killjoy nearly cries out in pain. Locke picks Killjoy up and nails her with a double underhook backbreaker a second time! He rolls Killjoy over and goes for the cover!

One...

Two...

Thre…Piper slides in and breaks it up, much to the crowd’s disapproval!

Samson: Good save, Piper!

Nelson: Locke utilizing very powerful moves. He seems to be looking to take Killjoy out of this match for good.

Crumb: Can you really blame him though?

Killjoy rolls to the side of the ring as Piper drills Locke with punches. Piper sends Locke to the mat after a hard right hand and continues to nail him with punches until Referee Sonny Bright yells at her to cut it out. Piper stands and backs off, letting Locke get to his feet. Piper runs at Locke and takes him down with a headscissors takedown! Piper waits for Locke to get back to his feet, watching him intently. Piper runs at Locke, attempting to hit him with a roaring elbow, but Locke ducks out of the way. Piper turns around and Locke nails her with the BulletKick (superkick)! Piper crumples down to the mat as Locke catches his breath. Instead of going for a pin, Locke grabs onto Piper’s leg and locks in LockeDown (cross legged STF)!

Nelson: Sanchez was building some momentum, but Locke was able to turn the tide and catch her with his BulletKick and then his LockeDown!

Piper cries out in pain as Locke increases the grip on Piper’s back, neck, and knees. Piper tries to futilely stretch out her arm to the ropes. Piper looks as if the pain is getting to be too much and is about to tap when Killjoy slides in and dropkicks Locke right in the face! The crowd jeers as both Killjoy and Piper look relieved.

Killjoy grabs Locke and nails him with a forearm, sending him down to the mat. Locke gets up again and Killjoy sends him down to the mat with another forearm. Piper tries to use the ropes to get to her feet when Locke gets back up and nails Killjoy in the face with a right hand. Killjoy stumbles back and Locke telegraphs a clothesline, but Killjoy dodges it. Locke turns back around and Killjoy nails Locke with a mafia kick to the face! Locke spins right around into Piper’s grasp, who takes him down with Greetings from Killeen (tiger driver)!

Samson: That’s it! No Spine Sean is out of here!

Both women fall on top of Locke for the cover!

One...

Two...

THREE!!

The crowd boos heavily as the Hellcats get to their feet. Piper gives Killjoy a look. Killjoy nods and heads to the outside of the ring.

Nelson: The Hellcats are victorious here tonight but they do not look like they are done.

Crumb: Sore winners are what they are! Sore winners!

Samson: But winners nonetheless!

Killjoy comes into the ring with two steel chairs and hands one to Piper. Both of them look at Locke, who is struggling to get to his feet, and they look ready and poised to hit Locke.

Nelson: Is this really necessary?! The Hellcats have defeated Locke; why must they stoop to this level?!

Samson: Because it makes for good TV!

However, before either Globalstar can do anything, Joshua Dane runs down to the ring and pulls Locke out of it, causing the crowd to cheer.

Crumb: Thank goodness for Joshua Dane!

---GZW2K1 World Heavyweight Championship Tournament: Bracket One Semifinal Match: Joshua Dane vs. ”The Big Shot” John Champa---

Returning back from the commercial break, Joshua Dane has remained in the ring, prepared for his match.

Dane: John Champa…I was hoping you would speak and thrill me. That you would cause my blood to boil. That from your words alone I would be filled with a fire. A fire that would drive me through our match. Alas, it didn’t.

Joshua is being very steady with his words. His voice is level and clearly controlled. As if there is something just below the surface waiting to break out

Dane: You once again spoke and it was the same rhetoric as before. You dismissed me. Talked yourself up. You spoke about past accomplishments. All these things that make you, in your own mind, The Greatest Of All Time. You’re not.

Joshua takes in a deep breath.

Dane: I’ve had more chances then most get. Certainly more than I ever deserved. Do you know how I got them Champa? Perseverance. Even at my lowest I had a fundamental belief that I can do this. Not only can I do this I can do to at a level beyond compare. So I worked. I planned. I tried anything and everything. None of it worked. Getting the old indie Prime Time gang back together was pointless. Silver lining, it brought Kolic into GZW2K1. Letting the world see my hunt for the person endangering my life and trying to kill me. Some thought it made me look weak. Silver lining, I found Eve. Being an incoherent bumbling alcoholic asshole. That one was actually sort of successful because GZW does love its scumbags. I had failed myself. Silver Lining, I learned who my family was. The two or three or four comeback attempts. Failed and inspired Kolic to turn against me. Silver lining, he strengthened my friendship with Kate. She’s family to me. Trying to reignite my career as a crazy cowboy, crashed and burned. Silver lining, it taught me to be myself.

Joshua looks into the camera and a smile comes across his face.

Dane: That’s who you face tonight Champa. That’s who is battling in this tournament. Not a gimmick. An athlete, a combatant. I have strived for success and failed horrendously throughout my career. Every single time I have found or taken something great away from those failures. I have found my silver lining. I’m tired of hearing about all the success you’ve had. It’s boring. It’s also history. Ancient history. Now, tonight. That is what matters. I’m putting my failures and your successes behind me. Because tonight won’t be another story about me finding a silver lining in a failure. Tonight I feed you your failure. Tonight I take a step away from silver linings and one step closer to Gold.

Nelson: Joshua Dane earned himself a win to the semifinals with a win over Killjoy at the Special Broadcast Event: Bound By Honor and man does he have a chance to make the most of it tonight.

Crumb: Could you imagine a world where Joshua Dane beats John Champa enroute to the finals? Because we might be living in it!
Samson: I thought we went over this during the show introduction? John Champa will be our next World Heavyweight Champion!

"Greatness in the Flesh" flashes across the screen, as the arena's lights begin to strobe throughout the arena.

You ready? Let's go
Yeah, for those of you that want to know what we're all about
It's like this y'all come on

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

John Champa walks out and stands in the entrance way as pyro shoots off, and a spotlight shines down on him.

Mike, he doesn't need his name up in lights
He just wants to be heard whether it's the beat or the mic
He feels so unlike everybody else, alone
In spite of the fact that some people still think that they know him

But trip em he knows the code
It's not about the salary it's all about reality and makin' some noise
Makin' the story makin' sure his clique stays up
That means when he puts it down Tak's pickin' it up, let's go

Who the heck is he anyway? He never really talks much
Never concerned with status but still leavin' them star struck
Humbled through opportunities given despite the fact
That many misjudge him because he makes a livin' from writin' raps

Put it together himself, now the picture connects
Never askin' for someone's help, to get some respect
He's only focused on what he wrote, his will is beyond reach
And now when it all unfolds, the skill of an artist

John walks cockily down the aisle to a chorus of boos from the crowd.

This is twenty percent skill, eighty percent fear
Be a hundred percent clear 'cause Ryu is ill
Who would've thought he'd be the one to set the west in flames?
And I heard him wreckin' with the crystal method, name of the game

Came back dropped Megadef, took 'em to church
I'm like 'bleach, man, why you have the stupidest verse?
This dude is the truth, now everybody givin' him guest spots
His stock's through the roof I heard he messin with S-dot

This is ten percent luck, twenty percent skill
Fifteen percent concentrated power of will
Five percent pleasure, fifty percent pain
And a hundred percent reason to remember the name

As he reaches the ring, he jumps on to the apron and enters the ring. The spotlight still on him, John stands in the center of the ring, his arms stretched out welcoming the crowds reaction.

Nelson: Love him or hate him, John Champa is a force to be reckoned with in a wrestling ring!

Samson: He’s taken out No Spine Sean…next on the list is the guy I will forever call Lamer!

Tale of the Tape

Joshua Dane	Name	John Champa
6'3	Height	6'3
245 lbs	Weight	240 lbs
Tucson, AZ	Hometown	Pearl River, MS
The End of the Line	Finisher	Star-struck

Champa looks across the ring at Dane, who begins pacing back and forth as he waits for the match to begin. Champa simply takes a deep breath and tries to calm himself down. Referee Patricia Albertson looks at both Globalstars to make sure they are ready before calling for the bell, making the match officially underway.

Crumb: AND HERE WE GO!!!!!!

As soon as the bell sounds, Dane runs across the ring to get things started. He hits Champa in the mouth with a forearm smash, and then a second, and then a third. Champa starts to fight back with a few hard punches of his own, as the fans get to their feet in support of the brawl that they are witnessing. The two men continue to exchange blows with one another with Champa finally taking control. He grabs hold of Joshua Dane and shoots him across the ring. Champa steps toward the middle of the ring to meet Dane on the rebound and lifts him into the air, delivering a huge back body drop! Dane pulls himself back up to his feet relatively quickly and rolls over to the ropes, grabbing hold of them and using them to speed things up a bit. Champa lines himself up with the former Globalstars known as Tamer, charging at him and trying to send him to the floor with a clothesline. Unfortunately for Champa, Dane gets a foot in the air and blocks the attempt with a kick.

Nelson: That could have been very bad for Dane! We know he is dangerous within the structure of a match, but a brawl with Champa is not something that people tend to enjoy.

Samson: I'm gonna disagree with you there. I think that Lamer would thrive if he could stop pretending this is a match so that he and Champa could fight a bit!

The Big Shot closes the gap between the two of them and tries wear Dane down with a chop to the chest.

Crowd: Wooo!

Dane steps forward and nails Champa in the mouth with an elbow shot to send him staggering. He then kicks Champa in the ribs to get him to double over. Dane follows it up with a second kick for good measure before pulling Champa in toward him and snapping off a quick DDT! He then hooks his leg and goes for the cover.

One…

Two…

Thr…Champa powers out!

Crumb: If Joshua can break out a few more moves like that, though...

Champa tries to bring himself back up to his feet. Though he attempts to create space between himself and Dane, the Globalstar formerly disguised as The Desperado is able to close the gap between the two of them rather quickly. He nails Champa with a hard knee shot to start wearing him down, and then a second, and then a third. Dane then pulls Champa in and tries to lock in a front facelock in hopes of further wearing Champa down. Unfortunately for him, Champa is quickly able to gain control, using his strength to shove Dane away from him. Champa charges at Dane and hits him with a quick clothesline that sends him crashing down to the mat. Dane starts to pull himself back up to his feet as Champa bounces off of the ropes and picks up speed. Before Champa can do anything to Dane, Joshua leaps into the air and catches Champa by surprise with a leg lariat! Champa crashes hard to the mat. Dane covers him.

One…

Two…

Th…Champa powers out again!

Samson: It’s going to take more than that to keep Champa down!

Joshua Dane glares down at Champa with frustration etched on his face. He nonetheless shakes his head just seconds later and begins to stomp away on Champa's body to try and wear him down further. Champa ignores the stomps and does what he can to pull himself back up to his feet. Joshua notices that Champa's going to make it up regardless and grabs him by the head. He tries to set Champa up for a neckbreaker to send him back down to the mat. He spins Champa into position, but before he can send Champa down to the mat, the Big Shot shoves Dane away. Dane tries to use Champa's counter to his advantage by bouncing off of the ropes, but as soon as he leaps into the air to try and take Champa down, Champa steps forward. He catches Joshua in the air and slams him to the mat with a devastating spinebuster! The fans rise to their feet as Champa hooks the leg for the cover.

One…

Two…

Th…Joshua Dane kicks out!

Nelson: We have seen things like that time and time again! It does not take much for John Champa to turn a match around because once he grabs you...

Samson: Yeah, yeah. He knows how to hurt you. Trust me, we get it! I'd say that Lamer probably does, too...

Champa grabs Dane by the head to drag him up to his feet. Champa hits him with a few right hands to try and wear him down. He then grabs Dane and lines him up with the turnbuckle on the opposite end of the ring. Champa pauses for just a second before launching him across the ring. Dane's body crashes hard into the turnbuckle just moments later. He staggers around aimlessly after the impact. Champa closes the gap between the two and CRUSHES Dane's body with a splash. He then grabs Dane and hoists him onto his shoulders, smirking as he takes a step forward and delivers a big powerslam! Champa once again hooks the leg and goes for the cover.

One…

Two…

Thre…Dane manages to kick out in time again!

Crumb: A millisecond more and Champa would be advancing to the Final round of this GZW2K1 World Heavyweight Championship tournament!

Samson: It’s only a matter of time, Crumbbum.

Champa looks down at Dane, seeming more impressed by the amount of fight that he's shown than anything. Nonetheless, he drags the former Prime Time member back up to his feet and nails him with a back elbow smash that sends him staggering. Champa follows it up with a second blow as well. Champa then pushes Dane back against the ropes and goes to shoot him across the ring. He steps toward the center of the ring to meet Dane, but before he can actually do anything to him on the rebound, Dane responds by catching Champa by surprise with a headscissors takedown! Champa staggers back up to his feet and walks toward Dane, who leaps into the air and catches Champa in the back of the head with an enziguri! Champa falls to the mat face-first, giving Dane an opening to roll Champa over and go for yet another cover.

One…

Two…

Thre…Champa powers out just in time!

Dane quickly grabs Champa and starts to pound away on him with a series of elbow shots despite Champa's best efforts to reach his feet. This continues even when Champa continues to drag himself up. Once Champa is standing, Dane tries to get him into position for a Russian leg sweep! He tries to snap it off as quickly as he can, but Champa reverses the attempt and instead lifts Dane into the air for a back suplex! Dane flips his way out of Champa's grasp and lands on the mat behind him. He grabs Champa from behind and rolls him up.

One…

Two…

Th…Champa kicks out again!

Nelson: Dane has to be somewhat frustrated at this point. It seems that each time he has Champa on the verge of defeat, Champa manages to keep on pushing.

Samson: Lamer is out of his element. He doesn’t have what it takes to compete at this level.

Dane runs at Champa and hits him with an European uppercut that knocks him groggy. While Champa is trying to recover, Dane turns around and heads over to the nearest turnbuckle. He climbs up to the top and steadies himself for a moment. Champa lunges over in Dane's direction and knocks him off balance before Dane can actually leap off, causing Dane to nearly fall to the mat. Champa grabs Dane and pulls him off of the top rope and onto his shoulders. Champa takes a few steps toward the center of the ring with Dane still on his shoulders, dropping him to the mat just seconds later with a muscle buster!

Crumb: WHAT CAN JOSHUA DANE BE THINKING AS HE IS DROPPED WITH A MUSCLE BUSTER BY JOHN CHAMPA?!?!

Samson: Probably, “I knew I should have stayed disguised in that lame cowboy gimmick!”

Champa tries to go for the cover afterwards, though Dane somehow drags himself out of the way. He uses the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet, clearly in pain. He charges at Champa from the ropes and tries to shift the momentum back to his favor—only to walk right into a Star-struck (out of nowhere RKO)!

Nelson: What a move by John Champa!

Dane crashes to the mat, giving Champa a chance to cover.

One…

Two…

THREE!!

Torres: The winner of this match and advancing to the final match of the GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 World Heavyweight Championship tournament ....JOHN CHAMPA!!!

Samson: And all is right in the Globalverse!

---Backstage---

It's not long before his semifinal match against Munin, and Kolic is doing his best to block out any distractions in the meantime. He's seen in a chair, listening to music on his phone with his eyes closed. Unbeknownst to him, a piece of paper slides in under the door and goes unnoticed for several seconds, until he opens his eyes and spots it on the floor. He pauses the song and takes his headphones off to pick up the note. The camera moves around behind him as he reads what it says:

“Is there nothing I can say?
When you turn around and carry on this way
Have you lost the path we made?
When your fear had pulled you far away from grace

See you fading out again
All your promises are taken with the wind

And if tomorrow never comes
For all the cold and bitter ones, we can breathe
And if tomorrow never comes
For all the cold and bitter ones, let us sleep

Did they still your beating heart? (All the soul you gave)
Did they take your words and tear them all apart?
Does it kill to let it go? (Sacrifice your name)
I hope if follows you and breaks your frail bones

See you fading out again
All your promises are taken with the wind

And if tomorrow never comes
For all the cold and bitter ones, we can breathe
And if tomorrow never comes
For all the cold and bitter ones, let us sleep

Here we are, one final time
To go and leave your soul behind...”

His hand trembled ever so slightly as he read the lyrics, and he knew exactly who sent this message. He almost hits the camera as he leaps up from his chair to the door. He runs out into the hallway and down a nearby corridor. No one's there though, so he tries another direction.

Kolic: Kate? Come on, don't play with me like this...

He keeps going but doesn't find her anywhere. After it's clear she's long gone, he crouches down and drops his head.

Kolic: So close...

He slams a fist on the ground (but not hard enough to break anything) and turns back to return to his locker room. The search isn't over by a long shot, but it would have to wait; for now, he had a clear challenge in Munin, and it would not be delayed or denied.

---GZW2K1 World Heavyweight Championship Tournament: Bracket Two Semifinal Match: “Wild Card” Eddie Knoxville Television Championship Match: Kolic vs. Lady Munin---

On the screen bolt of lightning hits a wooden cross, setting it ablaze.

Sing to me your plight unjust
Define it for the rest of us
No river of your tears
No sympathy will find you here
NOT ONE OF YOU B*ST*RDS HAS A CROSS TO BEAR

Pyros flare as "Cross to Bear" by Demon Hunter plays and Kolic walks on the stage. He kneels for a second before running to the ring and jumping over the top rope. He stands in a corner and stares straight ahead, not letting anything distract him for the match to come.

Crumb: I’m still confused on whether or not we’re cheering or booing Kolic now?

Samson: It’s like I said last month at Bound By Honor… I’ve been booing Godboy from the start….so it doesn’t matter what the hell you guys do!

Nelson: Whether you want to cheer or not, Kolic has made it to the next round of the GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 World Heavyweight Championship tournament by defeating Piper Sanchez in the first round.

The arena is swept into darkness as the lights go out one by one. The opening of Saliva begins to play, crackling to life of the pa. The ramp lights begin to flicker as white and black mist floods the ramp, flowing down to the ring. The Zerotron flicks to life in black and white, and reveals a classic announcer with slicked back hair. He adjusts his tie before grabbing the silver microphone before.

“Ladies and gentlemen please
Would you bring your attention to me?
For a feast for your eyes to see
An explosion of catastrophe”

As the voice over plays the Zerotron streams through a montage of Munin's best previous matches: Winning the LOTC Tournament, defending the World Title against Leon, going head to head with Alex Cross, facing off against Icon Lady Eva Hikari, and finally skewing a member of Clan Mayhem to the mat to get the pin.

“Like nothing you've ever seen before
Watch closely as I open this door
Your jaws will be on the floor
After this you'll be begging for more”

Munin steps out onto the platform to the cheering of the crowd. Her appearance perfect as usual with her long hair tightly french braided, but all the same she pretends to brush off the shoulders of her form fitting leather suit coat. The black pvc shorts she wears can barely be seen, leaving her shapely black tight clad legs exposed.

“Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen”

“Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen”

Munin makes her way down the ramp her knee high boots cutting through the mist, and flickering lights. A predators grin peeking out behind the sweet smile on her red painted lips.

“Ladies and gentlemen good evening
You've seen that seeing is believing
Your ears and your eyes will be bleeding
Please check to see if you're still breathing

“Hold tight cause the show it not over
If you will please move in closer
You're about to be bowled over
By the wonders you're about to behold here”

Munin makes it to the ring and quickly slides in with her signature grace.

“Welcome to the show
Please come inside
Ladies and gentlemen”

She hands her coat off to an official, revealing her leather and pvc corset style vest. With one final smile towards the front row audience she raises one fingerless gloved hand to the cheering crowd.

“Boom
Do you want it?
Boom
Do you need it?
Boom
Let me hear it
Ladies and gentlemen”

When the music dies down Munin takes her place.

Crumb: Wow, Lady Munin got a new entrance package! I like it, I like it a lot!

Samson: It’s long ass hell for no reason….

Nelson: Entrance package aside, as confident as Kolic looks, Lady Munin looks just as determined!

Samson: Determined to do what though?

Tale of the Tape

Kolic	Name	Lady Munin
6'1	Height	5'3
230 lbs	Weight	125 lbs
Atlanta, GA	Hometown	New Orleans, LA
Binary Blast	Finisher	Angel of Death

The bell sounds, signaling the start of the match as Lady Munin hands her W.C.E.K. TV title belt to Senior Referee Richard Dark.

Crumb: AND HERE WE GO!!!!

Lady Munin and Kolic circle each other for a couple of moments before both Globalstars go in for a tie-up. They struggle for a moment until Kolic uses his height and weight advantage to push Lady Munin into the corner, with the tie-up still locked in. Neither let go and Senior Ref Dark moves to get in between them, breaking up the hold. Lady Munin takes advantage, nailing Kolic with a cheap right hand. Kolic stumbles backwards and Lady Munin runs at him. Kolic quickly takes her down with an armdrag. Lady Munin gets up and runs at Kolic again. Kolic takes her down with a second armdrag. Lady Munin and Kolic get right back up to their feet at the same time. Lady Munin stares at Kolic instead of running at him. Kolic smirks cockily, causing Lady Munin to run at him again. Kolic goes for an armdrag again, but Lady Munin holds on, grabbing onto Kolic’s arm and nailing him with a forearm which sends him down to the mat. Lady Munin goes for a quick cover.

One...Kolic gets the shoulder up.

Crumb: Lady Munin starting the match off strong!

Samson: You almost sound surprised and I almost want to smack you for it!

Lady Munin quickly locks on a headlock, keeping Kolic grounded and down on the mat. Kolic struggles for a little bit, twisting to get out of the headlock. He grabs onto Lady Munin’s hair and nails her with a right hand. Lady Munin keeps the headlock on as Kolic nails Lady Munin with another right hand. A third right hand sends Lady Munin stumbling back, finally breaking the headlock. Kolic runs at Lady Munin and takes her down with a clothesline. Kolic goes to bring Lady Munin to her feet, but she sends Kolic’s throat straight to the middle rope with a trip. Lady Munin scurries to her feet as Kolic clutches his throat, trying to catch his breath.

Nelson: Kolic is one of the quickest Globalstars on the roster but when it comes to speed Lady Munin may have him edged out.

Crumb: Plus with Lady Munin’s small size, Kolic is going to have a rough time trying to get his hands on her.

Lady Munin runs to the ropes, bouncing off of them and nails a rising Kolic with a dropkick to the face. Kolic goes down, landing on his side. Lady Munin runs at the ropes again, bouncing off of them. This time, she delivers a sliding dropkick that sends Kolic under the ropes and out of the ring. Kolic lands hard on the outside.

Samson: And Lady Itty Bitty takes out the trash!

Lady Munin rolls out of the ring and approaches Kolic, who is holding his back. Grabbing Kolic by the head, Munin rams his head into the steel steps. Lady Munin brings Kolic up to his feet and rolls him into the ring. Lady Munin takes a moment to smugly look out into the crowd before hopping up onto the ring apron. She is quickly knocked down with a dropkick from Kolic! The crowd boos as Lady Munin falls down hard onto the outside. Kolic grabs onto the top rope and then uses it to slingshot his body over the top rope, crashing into Lady Munin. The crowd cheers heavily as both Globalstars are down.

Nelson: If you are just joining us we are live at this Special Broadcast Event: Arctic Blast from the Saddledome in Alberta, Calgary, Canada! We are in the midst of our main event!

Samson: If you’re just now joining us then you’re a freaking idiot that has no concept of time and really doesn’t like wrestling!

Crumb: That’s pretty harsh.

Samson: But true though…

Kolic is the first to slowly rise to his feet. He grabs Lady Munin and rolls her into the ring. Kolic goes for the cover.

One...

Two…Lady Munin gets the shoulder up.

Nelson: Lady Munin is still in this match!

Kolic looks a little dejected, but keeps on the offense by grabbing Lady Munin. He whips her into the turnbuckle and then runs to the other side of the ring. Kolic runs in to try and splash Lady Munin, but the TV Champ is able to move out of the way at the last second. However, Kolic quickly jumps onto the second rope and ascends to the top turnbuckle. Lady Munin attempts to get her bearings and then turns around, allowing Kolic to nail her with a diving moonsault. The crowd pops loudly for this maneuver. Kolic goes for another cover.

One…

Two…

Thre…Lady Munin kicks out!

Crumb: Lady Munin has stated on several occasions that she is destined to win this tournament and once again become the world Heavyweight Champion. She is showing her heart and determination to make that affirmation a reality!

Samson: It’s only Godboy, Crumbbum. It’s not like she’s facing Michael Irons!

Kolic backs off of Lady Munin, allowing her to crawl to her feet. Lady Munin crawls over to the turnbuckle and Kolic runs at her, nailing her with a huge corner splash! Lady Munin crumples out of the turnbuckle as Kolic looks pleased with himself. Kolic starts to climb the turnbuckle. Lady Munin sees this out of the corner of her eye and out of desperation manages to throw her body onto the top rope, causing Kolic to fall on the top of the turnbuckle groin first.

Nelson, Crumb, and Samson: OWWWWWW!!!!!!

Lady Munin takes the moment to catch her breath before going over to Kolic and knocking him across the chest with a spinning roundhouse kick! Kolic almost falls off the top rope from the impact but holds on to the turnbuckle to keep from falling. Lady Munin climbs to the second rope and grabs Kolic’s arms, seemingly looking for a superplex. Kolic holds on to the ropes tight and then hits Lady Munin with a punch to the side. He hits her with another punch and then another, finally pushing Lady Munin to the mat. Kolic steadies himself before standing up on the top turnbuckle.

Crumb: Kolic going for a high risk move!

Nelson: High risk moves are not something Kolic has been known for throughout his career.

Samson: Godboy might as well risk it all!

Kolic hesitates before leaping off the turnbuckle with a shooting star press! However, Lady Munin manages to just get her knees up in time!

Nelson: Kolic attempted an impressive maneuver but Lady Munin showing why she is the “Wild Card” Eddie Knoxville Television Champion and odds on favorite to win this tournament for the GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 World Heavyweight Championship!

Crumb: That was great!

Kolic clutches his stomach as Lady Munin quickly locks on Merciful Death (figure four blood choke)!

Samson: Although I don’t care if it kills Godboy, that Merciful Death move Lady Itty Bitty has on should be outlawed….that’s a clear chokehold!

Lady Munin tightens the grip around Kolic’s neck. Kolic starts to fight out of it, using his legs to power himself. Kolic grips one of Lady Munin’s legs, pries it off of his neck, and then slides from underneath Lady Munin. The TV Champ hops off of Kolic but catches him with a kick to the face, sending Kolic back down to the mat. Lady Munin drops down to the mat and begins to choke Kolic. Senior Ref Dark admonishes Lady Munin and begins the countout.

One…

Two…

Three…

Four...Lady Munin releases her grip on Kolic, gets up, and begins to argue with Senior Ref Dark.

Nelson: The “Wild Card” Eddie Knoxville Television Champion showing her aggressive side.

Clutching his neck, Kolic gets back to his feet. Lady Munin turns around and Kolic runs at her. Lady Munin trips him up with a drop toe hold and quickly puts Kolic in a crossface! Kolic immediately cries out in pain and begins to crawl toward the rope, hand outstretched.

Crumb: Kolic is so close but so far away!

Kolic suddenly stops moving, but then somehow manages to roll out of the crossface and Lady Munin into a pin!

One…

Two…

Thre…Lady Munin kicks out!!

Nelson: That was close! What a counter by Kolic!

Samson: Blah!

Lady Munin and Kolic both get to their feet at the same time. Kolic nails Lady Munin with a dropkick! Both fall to the mat and do not get up right away. The crowd cheers them on as they both move and struggle to their feet.

Crumb: What a main event!

Nelson: It definitely is, Crumb!

Samson: You both disappoint me so much right now!

Kolic gets a slight advantage and runs at Lady Munin, looking for a bulldog. Lady Munin dodges it, managing to push Kolic off. Lady Munin grabs onto Kolic and attempts a neckbreaker, but Kolic pushes Lady Munin off. Lady Munin turns around and Kolic goes to kick her, but Lady Munin grabs his leg. Kolic goes to counter with an enziguri, but Lady Munin ducks. Kolic falls to the mat with Lady Munin still holding onto his leg. Kolic kicks Lady Munin in the face, causing her to lose her grip. Kolic runs at Lady Munin and catches her with a facebuster!

Samson: Imagine if Godboy does win here and becomes the W.C.E.K. TV Champion and then continues on to beat Champa at Aftermath2K15 to claim the World Heavyweight Championship.

Nelson: It could actually be a reality, Samson.

Samson: If that happens I will officially retire and NEVER EVER step foot in a GZG function!

Crumb: Now I want Kolic to win!

Nelson: Hehee….

Once Lady Munin is making her way up to one knee, Kolic runs at her in an attempt to connect with a shining wizard! However, Lady Munin is able to barely dodge the knee. She quickly takes advantage by catching Kolic with Sanity (Wing Chun punch) as he turns around!

Crumb: WHAT CAN KOLIC BE THINKING AS HE SEEMS TO BE KNOCKED COMPLETELY OUT BY LADY MUNIN’S SANITY?!?!

Kolic is out on the mat as Lady Munin hooks the leg.

One…

Two…

Three!!

Torres: Your winner….advancing to the Final match of the GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 World Heavyweight Championship Tournament AND STILL the “Wild Card” Eddie Knoxville Television Champion….Lady Munin!

Nelson: Those two went move for move at the end, but it was Lady Munin who was the better Globalstars tonight!

Crumb: So at the annual year end pay-per-view, Aftermath2K15, John Champa versus Lady Munin will decide our next World Heavyweight Champion!

Samson: Guess I won’t be retiring after all!

The crowd suddenly explodes with a mixture of cheers and jeers as the collective force of Warpath make their way down the rampway.

Crumb: Mongrel stated that Warpath wouldn’t get involved in the match between Kolic and Lady Munin and sure enough they stood by their word.

Samson: But now that the match is over it’s time to have some fun!

With chairs in their hands, The Hellcats hit the ring first, pouncing on the downed Kolic. Killjoy and Piper rain down chairshot after chairshot upon the semiconscious Kolic. Lady Munin moves to intervene but is abruptly spun around by the massive left hand of Mongrel. He clamps his right hand around her neck, hoists her up, and then brings her down with a ring shaking chokeslam!

Nelson: This is uncalled for! Kolic and Lady Munin have come off a physically taxing match between each other and now are being subjected to an unprovoked attack by Warpath!

Samson: Unprovoked?! Godboy and Lady Itty Bitty have been flapping their lips about Warpath for weeks. This is due justice!

The Hellcats continue to lay the steel to a now bloodied Kolic while Mongrel has dropped Lady Munin with his Doomsday Disaster (Argentina backbreaker)!

Crumb: WHAT CAN EVERYONE BE THINKING AS WARPATH ARE ON THE WARPATH?!?!

Samson: Probably…

Nelson: Here comes the cavalry!

Samson: That’s not what I was going to say, Patticake!

Sure enough reinforcement show up in the form of Joshua Dane and Sean Locke. The two make a beeline to the ring as the crowd cheers them on.

Crumb: HOORAY FOR JOSHUA AND SEAN!!

Samson: Why don’t Lamer and No Spine Sean mind their damn business? This has nothing to do with them!

Nelson: This has everything to do with them, Samson! An injustice to one is an injustice to all!

Crumb: Isn’t that a Dr. King quote?

Locke slides into ring, charges at Mongrel, and takes him over the top rope with a huge clothesline. On the other side of the ring Killjoy, chair raised in the air poised to strike, turns to meet Dane. In one fluid motion, Dane dropkicks the chair into Killjoy’s face which causes her to stumble back into Piper sending both of them through the ropes and out to the floor.

Nelson: Dane and Locke have cleared the ring of Warpath!

Crumb: And Warpath want no part of them right now!

Warpath regroup on the floor and glare up into the ring at Dane and Locke. EMTs rush down to check on Kolic and Lady Munin.

Samson: This isn’t over by a longshot!

Nelson: I am sure it is not but this Special Broadcast Event: Arctic Blast has come to an end! The final match in the GroundZero Wrestling 2K1 World Heavyweight Championship Tournament has been set! John Champa will do battle against Lady Munin live at Aftermath2K15 at the GZW2K1 Coliseum in Atlanta, Georgia on New Year’s Eve!

Crumb: I can’t wait!

Nelson: I am Patrick Nelson, and on behalf of Todd Crumb and Joshua Samson, thank you for joining us here at the Special Broadcast Event: Arctic Blast!
