"El Mudo - Chacarron Macarron" plays and the fans cheer. John Parker comes to the ring with a smile on his face, dancing atrociously to his music.
Ike Rose: The following match-up is a quarter finals match-up for the Valiant Championship contendership! Introducing first, weighing in at 130 pounds, and hailing from Nottingham, England…John Parker!
The guitar riff at the start of 'Remedy' by Cold plays and he steps through the curtain he has as an entrance attire of a black coat. He stands at the top of the isle and makes a praying style taunt with a mattitude V1 hand gesture (he has three fingers together with his nose in the middle of the first two before wiping his nose in a Rikishi style before walking with a strut to he ring (he thinks he's God he's gonna strut) Once in the ring he moves to the first corner he can be bothered walking to he then climbs to the middle turnbuckle and does the same V1 Prayer taunt.
Ike Rose: And his opponent, weighing in at 234 pounds, and hailing from Sacramento, California…Stephen Callaway!
Keith Oswalt: I am so excited for this tournament Eric. The winner tonight will face off against Chris Hart next week for the Valiant Championship!
Eric Witz: John Parker fighting for the Valiant title? Yeah, not likely. What a tool.
As soon as the bell goes John charges at Stephen, keen to make a good impression on his return. Stephen, though, casually sidesteps and John almost runs out of the ring. He readjusts before running again - to the same result. John then decides it's time for a different tact as he charges but this time delivers a flying crossbody to where Stephen is standing. Of course, Stephen has sidestepped, but not quite far away enough to avoid John's feet who catch the Scottish star on the nose! John jumps to his feet and drops Callaway to the floor with a bulldog.
Keith Oswalt: John Parker is demonstrating why he got his job back!
Eric Witz: If you dress up a random hobo, Kingdom of Pride will hire them, embarrass them, and fire them two weeks later. State of fact bro.
John grins as he climbs to the top rope for some sort of high risk move but Callaway, having only been downed by a bulldog remember, and as John jumps Callaway is there to catch him. Callaway walks around menacingly with John's facial expressions showing exactly how bad of a position he's in. Eventually Callaway looks like he's going to Body Slam him but twists it into a Reverse DDT - his "Everything Goes"!
1...
2...
Callaway pulls John's shoulder up!
Keith Oswalt: Callaway wants to make a statement here in Pride by defeating John Parker!
Eric Witz: Yeah, just like his golfing counterparts!
Keith Oswalt: …Did you just make a Ryder Cup joke?
Eric Witz:I did! Callaway! Did you not get the link?
Back in the ring Callaway lifts John to his feet and begins to lay into him with punches. Quite frankly the poor lad looks like he's out on his feet. In a second Callaway springs back before launching himself forward again with the Calsi Kick!
1...
2...
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 3 minutes and 2 seconds, and advancing to the semi-finals…Stephen Callaway!
Keith Oswalt: Jeremy Sterling specifically hired John Parker back so he could shake up the roster a bit. I doubt Mr. Noble will be happy about this…
Eric Witz: Either way, Callaway advances, and takes the first spot in the semi-finals! He looked quite impressive if I do say so myself…
Callaway celebrates, as the scene fades to black…

Following John Parker’s loss to Stephen Callaway, Jeremy Sterling can be seen backstage at the curtains, patting Stephen Callaway on the back as Callaway walks past him. Finally, John Parker walks through the curtains and Jeremy looks at Parker, shaking his head.
Jeremy Sterling: I didn’t hire you back to lose a match.
Looking sternly at John Parker, John responds to Jeremy.
John Parker: But I tried my hardest!
Jeremy Sterling: Try harder then. I need people who can compete on a high level, put on exciting matches…
John Parker: I can! And I did! Those fans love me Jezza!
Jeremy Sterling: And win.
John Parker: Oh…
Putting his hand on Parker’s back as his head drops and he looks down, Jeremy Sterling attempts to console Parker.
Jeremy Sterling: But, I think you can win, but I think you need a week off to prepare to do that. So next week, take the week off and relax. But, in two weeks, when you get back, you had better prove to me that you deserve your contract, because if you don’t, I will personally be terminating your contract.
John Parker: I won’t let you down Papa Jezza! Tell Uncle Knoble I’ll make him proud too!
After saying this John Parker gleefully skips down the hallway as Jeremy Sterling only stands shaking his head as the scene fades.

The lights dim down and the lights strobe yellow and green. The sound of a guitar from "Underdog" by Kasabian is heard and P.K. comes from the back. He stands at the top of stage and holds his arms out turning around and showing the words on the back of his black shirt, on the front their are eyes. The back reads "P.K. Sterling" and underneath are small print words "Jobber in the Making". He turns back around and looks at the camera giving it a wink and continues to walk down the ramp with a nonchalant expression. P.K. slaps the hands of the fans and then heads towards the apron. He leaps on top of it and brushes his hands against his nose. He grabs the ropes and leaps over them and then heads to the left turnbuckle. He puts his right leg on top of the top turnbuckle and looks off at the crowd. He leaps down and takes his shirt off and throws it on the ref's head. He plops down in his corner, sitting on the middle rope as he waits for his opponent.
Ike Rose: The following match-up is a quarter-final match-up for the Valiant Title contendership tournament! Introducing first, weighing in at 200 pounds, and hailing from Los Angeles, California…P.K. Jacob-Sterling!
The lights in the arena dim as "Black Celebration" by Depeche Mode begins to play. Immediately the fans boo loudly, and after a few moments Obscene walks out from behind the curtain, wearing a plain white t-shirt and black jeans. He stares at the fans with a malevolent expression on his face and slowly walks towards the ring and then up the ring steps. He climbs into the ring, and ignoring the boos he backs up into a corner of the ring, giving a sly nod to his small following of fans way back in the arena.
Ike Rose: And his opponent, weighing in at 190 pounds, and hailing from Monterrey, Mexico…Obscene!
Keith Oswalt: Despite a loss last week, Obscene looks as primed as ever to win this tournament tonight. It should be noted that he is the only former Valiant Champion in the tournament.
Eric Witz: History repeats itself. Obscene did beat four other men to win the title, and dammi,t he can do it again!
The bell rings, and the two men instantly lock-up, and Obscene instantly locks in a headlock on Sterling, who fires back with some quick shots to Obscene’s stomach. Both men are backed up against the ropes, and Sterling pushes Obscene away from him. Obscene rebounds, and hits a running clothesline on Sterling to take him down. He then runs on the opposite set of ropes, and goes for another clothesline, but Sterling ducks, and then jumps over Obscene as he rebounds again! He goes for a kick, but Obscene slides under it, but then runs into a quick arm drag from Sterling! Obscene gets up, but gets a quick kick to send him down, and Sterling goes for the pin, but it’s kicked out of immediately. Obscene kips, and dodges a clothesline from Sterling, before going for a quick elbow that Sterling also dodges by rolling under. Both men stop and look at one another, already tired from the quick pace of the match-up.
They go to lock-up again, but Sterling instead kicks Obscene in the stomach, and runs off the ropes. For his efforts, he gets a kick in the stomach, and Obscene lifts him up for a northern lights suplex, but Sterling manages to actually land on his feet before his back hits the ground! He pushes himself upward, and breaks the hold, before stepping up and hitting a hurricanrana on Obscene! Obscene does not look pleased as Sterling shows off for the crowd. However, Obscene nods, and offers his hand to Sterling!
Keith Oswalt: In the smack-dab middle of the match, Obscene is trying to show how much he respects Jacob-Sterling! What a farce!
Eric Witz: Obscene is the most genuine man on the roster. Hasn’t he always been honest in his actions?
Sterling looks hesitant to shake his hand, and that split second gives Obscene long enough to nail Sterling with a step up kick and then a swinging neckbreaker! The crowd boos Obscene as he kicks Sterling in the head, and then runs off the ropes, hitting Sterling with a low dropkick to the face! Almost effortlessly, Obscene then jumps off the ropes, and hits a spinning Tornado DDT on Sterling! Obscene wipes some imaginary dust off his shoulder, before dropping a leg on Sterling, followed by a pin…
1…
2…
Kickout by Sterling!
Keith Oswalt: The last time these two faced, they ended up going to a double count-out. This time, however, the match has been all Obscene.
Eric Witz: And that’s the person, not the adjective, mind you. Here in Pride, we love to teach semantics concepts.
Keith Oswalt: Then how about you shut the hole? That clear enough of a definition for you?
Obscene stands up, and stomps down on Sterling’s face. He then climbs the ropes, and goes for a shooting star press…but Sterling moves out of the way! Both men are now down, and they slowly begin to get back up. Sterling stumbles into a corner, and Obscene charges him, but Sterling moves, and Obscene slams into the turnbuckle as he was going for a running dropkick! He falls to the canvas, and as he gets up, Sterling nails him with some fierce kicks. He then nails Obscene with a hard Tiger suplex, and follows it up with a PKO (Frontflip DDT)! He pins Obscene…
1…
2…
Kickout by Obscene!
Keith Oswalt: Due to several misses by Obscene, PK Jacob-Sterling is back in this match-up!
Eric Witz: Dammit Obscene, get your act together! This is no time to trip at the finish line!
Both men get up, and as Sterling tries to grab Obscene, he’s met with a thumb to the eye. Obscene then grabs him, and nails him with an Obscene Driver! He pins him…
1…
2…
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner with a time of 6 minutes and 4 seconds, and advancing to the next round…Obscene!
Keith Oswalt: Goddamit! With a simple act of cheating, Obscene advances to the next round!
Eric Witz: Obscene does what it takes to win. You’re a fool if you hate him for it. FOOL!
Obscene stands up, and taps his forehead like he knows something. He looks down at Jacob-Sterling, and spits on him!
Keith Oswalt: I don’t like this. It seems like Obscene knows something…
Eric Witz: He knows he’s advancing baby!
The scene fades to black.

Following his loss to Obscene, P.K. Jacob-Sterling can be seen sitting on the bench of the communal changing room. His head hung low, Sterling’s head shoots up as he hears Bruce Hendrickson’s egotistical voice from across the room.
Bruce Hendrickson: Oh man, that’s really too bad. Two loses in a row? That’s awful. And you lost a chance to take me on in a match again? Man, that really is too bad. Well, at least you can take pride in knowing that you had a fluke victory against the future Valiant champion.
Looking up with flames in his eyes, P.K. Jacob-Sterling tries to lunge at Hendrickson, but Hendrickson backs away from him and chuckles at him.
Bruce Hendrickson: Whoa! Feisty little guy! I was just trying to comfort you, but I guess losers like you don’t get comfort. How about you just sit back here, play with yourself and then maybe once your done with the pity party, you can watch me wrestle and realize that maybe, if you try hard and eat your vitamins, you might be a fourth as good as me. How’s that sound, champ?
Laughing to himself, Hendrickson turns around to leave, leaving Sterling fuming on the bench.

The lights go out in the arena as the sounds of Any Means Necessary- Hammerfall erupt out, sending the crowd into a frenzy of boos for the man they "love to hate". A couple of moments later, the lights come back on, and Bruce Hendrickson can be seen at the top of the stage, a sly grin plastered across his face. He looks on taking in the jeers as if they were proudly chanting his name. After a moment on the stage Bruce begins to walk the ramp, that same sly grin still across his face. Bruce stops on the ramp to raise an arm into the air, much to the dismay of the jeering crowd. Bruce chuckles to himself at the crowd's reaction then continues to the ring, rolling in under the bottom rope. In the ring Bruce climbs onto the second rope and raises both arms into the air, enjoying the jeers of the crowd one last time before his music fades out.Ike Rose: The following is a quarter-finals match-up in the Valiant Title contendership tournament! Introducing first, weighing in at 220 pounds, and hailing from Anaheim, California…Bruce “The Epitome of Epic” Hendrickson! Tommy enters the arena to Eye of the Tiger by Survivor begins to play he is wearing a white cotton robe, the hood is hoisted on his head. His hands are taped as well as his feet, he moves forward a few feet, raises his arms as Hero begins to play. He does a 360 degree spin while holding his arm in the air. He brings his hands to his mouth, kisses them, places both arms across his chest to form an X, and than begins to make his way toward the ring. Following behind him several feet is his mentor Nick Hill. Ike Rose: Introducing his opponent, weighing in at 265 pounds, and hailing from Camden, New Jersey…being accompanied by Nick Hill…Tommy Hargrove! Keith Oswalt: Both these men have been gaining some buzz over the past few weeks. Bruce Hendrickson has promoted himself endlessly as of late, and managed to get his revenge on PK Jacob-Sterling last week. Tommy Hargrove is a definite favorite for tonight’s tournament, still riding the momentum of his Autumn Annihilation victory over Obscene. Eric Witz: Wow, you talk about a lot of shit. I think I’m going to watch the match… The bell rings, and both men go to lock-up. Bruce tries to go around Tommy and lock his hands around his waist, but Tommy isn’t fazed, and hits a back elbow on Bruce. He then begins to hit some hard shots on Bruce, before throwing him on the canvas! Bruce gets back up, but gets hit once again, before giving a thumb to the eye of Tommy! He then tries to lift up Tommy, but can’t! He stumbles back, but Tommy grabs him and drops him with a backbreaker! Tommy then Irish Whips Bruce into a corner, and hits a short clothesline on him. Tommy goes for another, but Bruce gets his foot up, slamming it into Tommy’s face! Tommy stumbles back, and Bruce hits a huge enziguri on him! Bruce pulls up Tommy, and hits a few more shots on him, throwing the bigger man off balance. He backs him into corner, and continues his relentless assault, before stomping him down! Keith Oswalt: Bruce Hendrickson is just so aggressive. Realizing he’s not going to overpower Tommy Hargrove, right now, he just needs to keep him down and get his offense going. Eric Witz: The bigger they are, the harder they- Keith Oswal: Get. I’m sure you were going to say that. Now back to the match… Bruce continues the assault, forcing Tommy to roll out of the ring. He then grabs Tommy, and Irish Whips him into the steel steps! He rams his head into them once more, before throwing him back into the ring. Bruce pushes Tommy into the corner again, and starts to hit Tommy with some knife edge chops. He then backs up, before hitting Tommy with a dropkick into the turnbuckle! Bruce goes to grab him, but Tommy throws in a few shots to Bruce, before gaining momentum…but Bruce gets him another thumb to the eyes! Bruce hits him even more, and then goes to Irish Whip him, but Tommy reverses it. He hits Bruce with a clothesline…and then another right after it! Tommy lifts up Bruce, and drops him with a Press Style Ace Crusher! Tommy pins him… 1… 2… Kickout by Bruce! Tommy lifts up Bruce, and drops him with a quick scoop slam. He then goes to drop a leg on Bruce, but Bruce rolls away, causing Tommy to land on his leg painfully. Bruce runs forward, kicking Tommy down. He goes down, and locks in an arm triangle hold, but Tommy won’t tap. He tries to pull himself up, and even manages to do so…but Bruce drops the hold, but dropkicks Tommy into the ropes. Tommy rebounds back…and Bruce rolls the big man up, while holding the tights! 1… 2… 3! Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 5 minutes and 43 seconds, and advancing to the semi-finals…Bruce “The Epitome of Epic” Hendrickson! Keith Oswalt: Bruce Hendrickson just stole this match-up from Tommy Hargrove! Eric Witz: You are really pissing me off with this cheating mentality tonight! It’s called improvisation! Get it right, asshole. Bruce immediately rolls out of the ring, proud of the work he’s done, as the scene fades out…

*Backstage, Kaja Reinhardt is in the office of Kurt Noble. She is pacing back and forth, nervously biting her lip.*
Kurt Noble: “So let me get this correct…you want me to remove one of your men from tonight’s matchup against Kid Flanagan?”
*Kaja simply nods her head, preferring not to bother with English more than she has to.*
Kurt Noble: “That would eliminate your advantage of capturing a championship in Kingdom of Pride, Miss Reinhardt. Why would you willingly do that?”
Kaja Reinhardt: “Der Maschinen are not meant to fight amongst themselves, Mr. Noble. You must understand, the consequences of them viewing each other as adversaries could be …dangerous.”
Kurt Noble: “I’m sure it’s nothing that you couldn’t handle.”
Kaja Reinhardt: “Don’t be so sure, Mr. Noble. They are not trained to obey my every command…they only appear to be so because of their respect for me.”
Kurt Noble: “Look, Miss Reinhardt…I can’t make any promises. However, I’ll talk it over with Jeremy and see if I can get one of your men the night off.”
Kaja Reinhardt: “Thank you much, Mr. Noble. You are great help.”
*Kurt smiles and nods, waving a dismissive hand towards the door. Kaja leaves his office and walks down the hallway, turning the heads of the staff. Chris can be seen with his jaw dropping as Bob rolls his eyes at Chris’s display of affection.
As she opens the door to the locker room of Der Krieg Maschinen, she sees something that she never imagined could happen. Somba and Balraj are both lying in a pool of blood, not moving on the floor. She lets out a scream before bolting out of the room and calling for help.*
Kaja Reinhardt: “Hilfe! Sie bewegen nicht!...”
*Frustrated, she kicks a nearby crate…causing everyone to look in her direction. She points frantically towards the door.*
Kaja Reinhardt: “HELP!”
*And we fade to black…*

"Just Like You" by Three Days Grace Blares over the PA system in the arena as Kid Flanagan makes his down to the ring holding a book bag, he gives some fans high fives before he gets into the ring. Finally he gets into the ring, he then starts going through his book bag, he then pulls out an two water pistols. He then yells "BOOM", then he leaps out of the ring and shoots some hot woman wearing an white t-shirt. Kid then yells "BOOBSHOT!". Kid Flanagan then gets back into the ring.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit! Introducing first, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, weighing in at 185 pounds, he is the current Kingdom of Pride Syndicate champion, Kid Flanagan!
As Kid Flanagan stands in the ring, waiting for his opponents, The Krieg, to come out “Artist in the Ambulance” by Thrice blares over the PA system and instead of Somba and Balraj, Jeremy Sterling walks out onto the stage.
Jeremy Sterling: Unfortunately, despite the announced card of Kid Flanagan taking on both members of Der Krieg Maschinen, prior to this match both Somba and Balraj were both found knocked unconscious backstage, victims of an unknown attack. Due to the severity of the attack, the Kingdom of Pride medical staff has ruled neither man capable of competing tonight, so because of this, Kid Flanagan will be receiving an automatic bye into the semi-finals of the tournament.
Receiving a mixed reaction for the announcements Jeremy Sterling shakes his head as he heads back to the back, leaving Kid Flanagan to leave the ring, on account that his scheduled match will not be taking place and that instead he will be in a triple threat match later on.

Backstage, Kurt Noble is about to enter his office as Alex Avice runs up and cuts him off.
Alex Avice: Mr. Noble! Do you have any news regarding the mystery men in that limo last week?
Alex eagerly pokes the microphone towards Kurt's face as Noble laughs.
Kurt Noble: Like I said last week, all will be revealed in good time.
Alex Avice: But WHEN??
Kurt smiles.
Kurt Noble: Next week.
Before Alex can ask any more questions, Kurt slips into his office and closes the door behind him. Alex turns to the camera and shrugs.
Alex Avice: I guess all will be revealed next week!
The scene fades.

"King of the World" plays over the P.A. as the fans rise to their feet and cheer as Josh Eagles burst through the curtain throwing his 'Eagles' symbol high above his head. Slowly he makes his way to the ring slapping hands with fans, giving some hugs out and shaking hands. Finally he rolls under the bottom rope and stands in the center of the ring and throws his symbol up one more time to a huge up roar from the crowd and smiles before stretching and waiting for the match to get under way.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the final quarter-final match of the night! Introducing first, from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 195 pounds, Josh Eagles!
“It’s My Life” plays throughout the arena and the fans waste no time giving an overall appropriate reaction to Johnny Noble just as he slowly walks through the curtain and down the ramp. He gives the occasional group of fans a calm glance, but he does not lose focus as he walks to the ring and climbs the stairs. Johnny flashes a few more fans a calm glance as he steps into the ring and stands near the ropes, putting his hands on his hips and looking in the distance with intensity.
Ike Rose: And his opponent, from Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 230 pounds, Johnny Noble!
Keith Oswalt: This is the match I’ve been waiting for all night. Both of these guys are arguably the next Valiant champion, and this match could very well show which one of the two will truly be the next champion.
Eric Witz: That is, if Chris Hart ever decides to lose the belt. I don’t think he will ever lose.
Keith Oswalt: Everybody always loses eventually.
In the ring, Josh Eagles and Johnny Noble both stand a few feet from each other, both in the corner, looking across at each other. Finally, the two begin to circle the ring as the bell is rung. After circling around once, the two finally go into a lock up with each other and Josh Eagles is able to get behind Johnny Noble and put him in a basic waistlock. From here, Noble goes to elbow Eagles, however Eagles ducks under Noble’s elbow and is able to step in and put Noble into a headlock. Wrenching in the headlock, Noble attempts to back Eagles into the ropes to shoot him off, however instead Eagles shifts his weight and throws Noble over onto the mat and releasing the headlock before getting back to his feet and hitting a few stomps on Noble before lifting him back up and finally whipping Noble off the ropes.
As Noble bounces back from the ropes, Josh Eagles hit’s a dropkick on Johnny Noble to drop him to the mat. Quickly, Eagles follows up on the dropkick by covering Noble, but Noble easily kicks out at one. Trying to keep his will imposed on Noble, Eagles pulls Noble back to his feet and hits him with a quick uppercut before kicking Noble in the stomach and putting him in a front headlock. Going to drive Noble’s head into the mat with a DDT, Eagles is caught off guard when Noble instead lifts Eagles off of the mat and drives him into the turnbuckle corner. Letting Eagles slump in the corner, Noble bashes him in the head with a few elbows before finally snapping him over his shoulder with a snapmare and after hitting this and following it up with a chinlock, driving his knee into Eagles back.
Keith Oswalt: This match had been all Eagles up to this point, but Noble was finally able to overpower Eagles and quickly turns the match in his favor.
Eric Witz: I wouldn’t be surprised to see Eagles not get any more offense in, Noble is vicious once he gets an advantage.
As Noble continues to lock the hold in tighter, Eagles begins to get up to his feet, however once he is finally up to his feet, Noble overpowers him by pulling Eagles to his back from the chinlock he had, hitting Eagles with a reverse face crusher. After hitting this move, Noble lifts Eagles back to his feet before putting him in a front facelock and quickly lifting him up and holding him in a suplex position. After a few seconds, Eagles is finally dropped onto his back as Noble hits him with a delayed vertical suplex. Hitting the big suplex, Noble doesn’t release his hold as he rolls his hips and gets back to his feet, pulling Eagles up with him. While holding Eagles in the front facelock, Noble finally lifts Eagles up and quickly pulls him back to the mat with a brainbuster, planting Eagles on his head. After hitting this move, Noble instantly follows up with a cover on Eagles,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Despite the kick out, Noble remains on the offensive by lifting Eagles up to a seated position and beginning to repeated slam his elbow into the side of Eagles’s head, but despite the repeated strikes to the head, Josh Eagles continues to be able to stand up and finally he blocks one of Noble’s elbows and quickly drops to his knees while driving Noble’s jaw to his shoulders and hitting him with a jawbreaker. Stunning Noble, Eagles now rushes towards him and knocks him down off of his feet with a lariat. After hitting this, Eagles runs to the ropes and jumps up onto the second rope and backflips off of it hitting Noble with a huge lionsault! Hooking Noble’s leg after doing this, Josh covers Johnny,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Eric Witz: Near fall for Eagles who’s definitely starting to pick up the pace!
Keith Oswalt: That’s for sure! Eagles is going to have to keep up the speed if he expects to beat Johnny Noble.
After hitting the lionsault, Eagles shakes his head after seeing Noble kick out and lifts Noble back to his feet before kicking him in the stomach and hitting him with a forearm shot to the back. After hitting Noble, Eagles finally snaps off a quick snap suplex on Noble, slamming Noble’s back into the mat. Despite the snap suplex, however, Josh Eagles grins as he gets back to his feet and now ascends to the top rope. Grinning at the fans, Josh Eagles now leaps off of the top turnbuckle and goes for the Legacy Invitation (Swanton Bomb), and nails Noble with the move! Instantly, Eagles covers Noble,
1...
2...
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, via pinfall, at 7 minutes and 13 seconds, Josh Eagles!
Keith Oswalt: Eagles was able to pick up the speed and with that he was able to put away Johnny Noble. We very well may be looking at the next Kingdom of Pride Valiant Champion right now.
Eric Witz: I’m telling you, Chris Hart’s never losing the title.
As Josh Eagles is declared the winner, he grins to the crowd as he walks to the back, knowing he now needs to prepare for his next match.

The scene opens backstage to where Johnny Noble is walking, clearly furious about his loss to Josh Eagles.
Johnny Noble: Goddamit…son of a bitch…
Kurt Noble: Well, this seems vaguely familiar of when we were kids. You always had a temper.
The camera shifts over to show Kurt Noble, who seems to be a bit amused to see his brother lose.
Johnny Noble: This is really not to the time to be reminding me of us as kids “brother.”
Kurt Noble: Relax. If you get so high-strung, I might just have to fire you. Wouldn’t be the first person I’ve fired from this roster.
Kurt chuckles, but Johnny just looks annoyed.
Johnny Noble: Hilarious. Really. You always were a class act. Or maybe just an ass. Yeah, that one seems more familiar.
Kurt Noble: Johnny…we may be brothers, but I’m still your boss, and you still will respect me-
Johnny Noble: Respect you? Yeah, good luck with that. Call me when you’re making bacon out of the flying pigs. Hope you choke on it for that matter…
Johnny tries to walk out, but his persistent younger brother walks in the way.
Kurt Noble: I didn’t approach you for a lively conversation Johnny. Despite this loss, you’re very valuable to this company. In a few weeks, we’ll have a new friend joining us here in Pride, and you’re going to welcome him to the roster…just not the way you normally do. You two will become best friends…I promise.
Johnny Noble: Well, who the Hell is it?
Kurt Noble: You’ll see brother. Until then…enjoy the rest of the night. Maybe go take a seat out front?
Kurt smirks, before walking away, with Johnny staring at him.

As Kurt Noble exits Johnny Noble’s locker room, he has a smile on his face. However, outside of the locker-room, Jeremy Sterling stands, a concerned look on his face. As Noble sees Sterling, Jeremy makes eye contact, but gives no sense of happiness to see his business partner.
Kurt Noble: Nice to see you, Jeremy.
Only nodding his head, Jeremy looks at Kurt, not greeting him, but instead addressing his concern.
Jeremy Sterling: What was that about?
Kurt Noble: Just a brotherly talk.
Jeremy Sterling: And the limousine?
A silence surrounds the two of them. However, the silent is quickly broken by Jeremy.
Jeremy Sterling: Look man, we’re partners. You have to let me in on what’s going on. If it’s not business related, then that’s your personal life, none of my business, but when you start bringing that stuff on our show, and getting Avice involved and…
Kurt Noble: I know how to run a business, Jeremy.
Jeremy Sterling: We both do, but we’ve never ran one as a co-owner. We have to let each other know about everything. There’s something you’re hiding from me, and I don’t know what. So, do you care to tell me?
Kurt Noble: Jeremy, trust me. You’ll be happy with the result. I honestly can’t tell you, otherwise it won’t come to fruition, just trust me.
Shaking his head, Jeremy sighs before responding to his co-owner.
Jeremy Sterling: Kurt… Forget it.
After being unable to say what he had wanted to say, Jeremy Sterling walks down the hallway towards his office, contemplating what surprise Kurt Noble could possibly have in store for KoP.

Kid Flanagan then gets back into the ring.Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the first of two semi-final matches! Introducing first, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, weighing in at 185 pounds, he is the current reigning Syndicate champion, Kid Flanagan! The guitar riff at the start of 'Remedy' by Cold plays and he steps through the curtain he has as an entrance attire of a black coat. He stands at the top of the isle and makes a praying style taunt with a mattitude V1 hand gesture (he has three fingers together with his nose in the middle of the first two before wiping his nose in a Rikishi style before walking with a strut to he ring (he thinks he's God he's gonna strut) Once in the ring he moves to the first corner he can be bothered walking to he then climbs to the middle turnbuckle and does the same V1 Prayer tauntIke Rose: And his opponent, from Sacramento, California, weighing in at 234, Stephen Callaway! Keith Oswalt: Definitely some issues between both of these men as Kid Flanagan was able to attain the Syndicate championship by defeating Stephen Callaway at Autumn Annihilation. Eric Witz: I’d bet money that Callaway is more concerned with defeating Flanagan than winning the tournament. The lights go out in the arena as the sounds of Any Means Necessary- Hammerfall erupt out, sending the crowd into a frenzy of boos for the man they "love to hate". A couple of moments later, the lights come back on, and Bruce Hendrickson can be seen at the top of the stage, a sly grin plastered across his face. He looks on taking in the jeers as if they were proudly chanting his name. After a moment on the stage Bruce begins to walk the ramp, that same sly grin still across his face. Bruce stops on the ramp to raise an arm into the air, much to the dismay of the jeering crowd. Bruce chuckles to himself at the crowd's reaction then continues to the ring, rolling in under the bottom rope. In the ring Bruce climbs onto the second rope and raises both arms into the air, enjoying the jeers of the crowd one last time before his music fades out.Ike Rose: And the final wrestler in this match, from Anaheim, California, weighing in at 220 pounds, “The Epitome of Epic” Bruce Hendrickson! Before the bell rings, both Hendrickson and Callaway look over at each other and grin before turning to Kid Flanagan and both charging him. Together, the two of them push Flanagan into the corner and begin to kick Flanagan before making him fall to a seated position where now the both of them choke Flanagan with their boots, trying to push the sole of their heel through Flanagan’s throat. While holding it here, the referee finally pulls both of them off, however here Callaway distracts the referee as Bruce Hendrickson turns back to Kid Flanagan and continues to stomp on him before finally lifting him out of the corner and calling over to Callaway where now the both of them hit a few punches on Flanagan and Hendrickson kicks Flanagan in the stomach before lifting him up with a suplex lift and placing Flanagan’s feet on Callaway’s shoulders and shouting commands at him. Finally, while Callaway remains standing, holding Flanagan’s feet on his shoulders and progressively scooting up Flanagan’s body to lock in a modified version of a waistlock as Flanagan’s legs are on his shoulders. As Callaway does this though, Hendrickson finally drops out holding Flanagan’s jaw and hits him with a suspended jawbreaker. After Hendrickson hits this move on Flanagan, Callaway finally throws Flanagan off of his shoulders with a high angle wheelbarrow suplex! Throwing Flanagan on the back of his head, Callaway instantly bridges into a cover on Flanagan, 1... 2... The pin’s broken up by Bruce Hendrickson! Looking down at Callaway, Hendrickson pulls Callaway to his feet and delivers a few choice words to him, which results in Callaway responding with a brutal backhand! Snarling with anger, Hendrickson runs forward at Callaway and hits him with a huge spear, driving Callaway into the mat! Pummeling Callaway with several punches after hitting this, Hendrickson gets back to his feet and pulls Callaway along with him and from here whips Callaway off to the ropes. Standing in the center of the ring, Hendrickson edges only slightly towards the rebounding Callaway, but as soon as Callaway reaches him, Hendrickson throws Callaway over his shoulders with a beautiful belly to belly suplex! Keith Oswalt: Two men with egos should never team up. Eric Witz: It’s a good thing I don’t have an ego then. Your ego takes up nearly the whole broadcast table! Keith Oswalt: My ego!? Are you… Nevermind. I’m taking the high road. Eric Witz: Ha, just like Robbie… Keith Oswalt: You know better than to say that name here. After hitting the suplex on Callaway, Hendrickson quickly moves over to him and gets him back to his feet, however from here he puts Callaway into a headlock and while cranking down on this, flips around to behind Callaway and puts Stephen in a hammerlock. Wrenching away on Callaway’s shoulder, Hendrickson finally pops his head through Callaway’s arm. Here Hendrickson lifts Callaway up while holding Callaway’s arm back in the hammerlock before dropping Callaway onto his arm with the back drop suplex. After hitting this, Hendrickson lifts Callaway up and puts Callaway into a figure four armbar, further wrenching down on Callaway’s shoulder. Finally, Callaway begins to get up to his feet, however as he does this, Hendrickson shifts his weight back to the opposite side and pulls Callaway down onto the mat and here switches his hold into a cross arm breaker! Trying to force Callaway to tap out, Bruce fully hyperextends Callaway’s arm as he throws his shoulders to the mat to apply extra pressure to Callaway’s shoulder, despite putting himself in a pinning predicament. 1... 2... Bruce sits back up to break the cover, but then goes back to the laying position, trying to force Callaway to tap out, 1... 2... Kid Flanagan breaks the pin up with a jumping knee strike to Hendrickson’s face! After hitting this move, Flanagan gets right back to his feet and again hit’s the jumping knee strike to Hendrickson’s face before finally lifting Hendrickson up to his feet and then grabs Hendrickson before driving him into the mat face first with a mic check! After hitting he mic check on Hendrickson, Flanagan turns his attention back to Stephen Callaway, who he kicks out of the ring and now finally gets back to Hendrickson and covers him, 1... 2... 3! Ike Rose: Here is your winner, at 6 minutes and 3 seconds, Kid Flanagan!

Walking back through the curtains after having been pinned by Kid Flanagan, Bruce Hendrickson has a scowl on his face, but only feet from him, P.K. Jacob-Sterling stands, a full smile on his face. Knowing he’s about to get an earful, Bruce Hendrickson attempts to walk past Sterling, but instead Sterling walks along with him, taunting him in the process.
P.K. Jacob-Sterling: Man, a loss, that’s really too bad. It sucks doesn’t it? I mean, all you had to do was win that match then win the next match, and you’d have a Valiant title match, but you let it all slip through your fingers.
Laughing to himself, P.K. Jacob-Sterling chuckles.
P.K. Jacob-Sterling: And worst of all, you lost to a guy who’s been in the business less than a year. That’s really, really embarrassing. At least I lost to a Valiant champion, but I mean, I guess even the rookies get lucky.
Hendrickson becomes more and more agitated by Sterling as he continues to taunt him, that finally Hendrickson turns into the next door and locks the door behind him, causing Sterling to laugh as Hendrickson had locked himself in a janitor’s closet, all to get away from Sterling. Finally, Sterling walks past the camera as the scene fades to black.

Following Sterling taunting Hendrickson, the scene fades to Jeremy Sterling’s office, where Jeremy Sterling can be seen grinning.
Jeremy Sterling: Ladies and gentlemen, earlier tonight, before Oblivion started, I was honored to sign the newest wrestler. As many of the viewers know, I first made my debut in a company known as EUW. Throughout my time in EUW, I wrestled many, many people, but one of the best men I have ever been blessed to step in the ring with is now EUW legend, Jaden Hunter, better known under his ring name, Xplode.
Staying quiet, the crowd seems unsure why Jeremy Sterling is bringing up his wrestling history.
Jeremy Sterling: Earlier today, I met with Jaden Hunter.
This catches the crowds attention, making them believe that they are getting ready to hear major news.
Jeremy Sterling: However, the Jaden Hunter I met with is not the Xplode that everybody knows. Rather, I met with Xplode’s son, Jaden Hunter and I am very pleased and honored to announce that next week, on a very special edition of Oblivion, Jaden Hunter will be making his debut. It is my hope that Jaden will be just as good, if not even better, than his own father was as a wrestler and become a legend of Pride, much like past names such as Pat Doyle and Blade.
After saying this, Jeremy Sterling smiles as the crowd roars in approval with the signing of a new Pride wrestler. Finally, the scene fades back to the ring.

The scene switches back to the ring, where Ike Rose is waiting.
Ike Rose: The following match-up is a semi-final match-up!
"King of the World" plays over the P.A. as the fans rise to their feet and cheer as Josh Eagles burst through the curtain throwing his 'Eagles' symbol high above his head.
Ike Rose: Introducing first, weighing in at 195 pounds, and hailing from Oshawa, Ontario…Josh-
Suddenly, Obscene runs through the curtains, and blasts Josh Eagles from behind! The crowd boos him heavily as he begins to stomp Josh Eagles into the steel!
Keith Oswalt: What the Hell?!? I am sick of attacks ruining this tournament! We’ve already had the Krieg removed by being attacked earlier, and now, Obscene is trying to cheat his way into the finals against Kid Flanagan!
Eric Witz: If you say the word cheating one more time, I will slap you like a 1950’s bitch with an apron.
The bell officially rings, and Obscene begins to hit some shots on Eagles, yelling “I’M GOING TO WIN IT, NOT YOU!” before slamming Eagles face into the steel once more time. He lifts up Eagles, and slams him back first into the steel guard rail, before hitting home shots on him. He goes for a kick, but Eagles moves, and Obscene gets hung up on the rail, his eyes lighting up in pain! Eagles then hits him with a dropkick, sending Obscene into the crowd! Eagles runs down to the ring, and rolls in, before rolling out, breaking up the count. He then grabs Obscene, who is in the crowd, before suplexing him onto the mats! Obscene grabs his back in pain, but Eagles wastes little time He lifts up Obscene, and throws him back into the ring. Eagles then climbs onto the apron, and slingshots himself into the ring, his back slamming into the downed Obscene. Eagles makes a quick pin…
1…
2…
Kickout by Obscene!
Eagles stands up, and lifts up Obscene, who begins to hit some hard shots on Eagles’s stomach. He hits a few more shots, before backing Eagles up to the ropes. He Irish Whips him, and then drops Eagles with a drop toe hold, followed by a sleep hold. He tries to wear him down, but Eagles fights back, pulling himself up. He hits some elbows on Obscene, and tries to run, but gets pulled down by hair by Obscene!
Keith Oswalt: Obscene has a few advantages here Eric. Not only did Josh wrestle his match shortly ago, but he’s wrestled the longest match of the night! Obscene’s match was early on, and he took very little offense, compared to the hard hitting match Eagles had with Noble.
Eric Witz: That’s the luck of the draw, mate. Sometimes life’s not fair. Then you suck it up and move on…
Obscene takes a moment to rest, before lifting up Eagles, and slamming him in a corner. He hits some knees on Eagles, before Irish Whipping him. Eagles counters the move, and follows it up with a short clothesline, causing Obscene to stumble forwards. Eagles then runs forward himself, hitting a one hand bulldog on Obscene to take him down! Gaining momentum, Eagles jumps on the ropes, hoping for the Liontamer, but Obscene rolls out of the way. However, Eagles lands on his feet, and Obscene charges him, only to get nailed with a kick, and then a DDT! Eagles then lifts up Obscene, kicks him in the stomach, and drops him with the Impact Asylum! He pins Obscene…
1…

Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 5 minutes and 42 seconds, and moving onto the finals….Josh Eagles!
Keith Oswalt: Holy Hell, Josh Eagles did it! He’s now going to face Kid Flanagan in the finals!
Eric Witz: Damn, Obscene was my pick! I was screwed!
Eagles barely is able to stand up, but does so, as the scene fades to black.

Standing in the ring following his victory over Obscene, Josh Eagles looks at Ike Rose as he’s introduced for his match.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is the final match of the tournament! Introducing first, from Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 195 pounds, Josh Eagles!
"Just Like You" by Three Days Grace Blares over the PA system in the arena as Kid Flanagan makes his down to the ring holding a book bag, he gives some fans high fives before he gets into the ring. Finally he gets into the ring, he then starts going through his book bag, he then pulls out an two water pistols. He then yells "BOOM", then he leaps out of the ring and shoots some hot woman wearing an white t-shirt. Kid then yells "BOOBSHOT!". Kid Flanagan then gets back into the ring.
Ike Rose: And his opponent, from Saint Paul, Minnesota, weighing in at 185 pounds, he is the current Kingdom of Pride Syndicate champion, Kid Flanagan!
Keith Oswalt: Interesting match up here, as if Josh Eagles wins, that means Death’s Desire’s main event will be coming three weeks earlier than expected.
Eric Witz: And if Kid Flanagan wins, we’ll have a champion vs. champion match next week where Kid Flanagan could potentially become the first man to ever hold both of Kingdom of Pride’s singles championship’s simultaneously.
Keith Oswalt: This match is definitely a major opportunity for both men, as winning that Valiant championship permanently cements you in the history of Kingdom of Pride. Only six men have ever held the Valiant championship, and many of these men have all had incredibly successful careers outside the Kingdom of Pride.
As the bell rings, Kid Flanagan and Josh Eagles, despite their previous matches, lock up in a collar and elbow tie up, but from here Eagles is able push Flanagan to the ropes and finally throws him off to the opposite ropes. As Flanagan runs back at Eagles, Eagles tricks Flanagan by instead of hitting him with a lariat, dropping down and hitting a drop toe hold on him, having Flanagan’s face slam into the mat. Pivoting his body, Eagles quickly puts Flanagan into a side facelock, however Flanagan is able to fight his way up to his feet where he finally gets up to his feet and throws a few elbows Eagles’s stomach and he’s finally able to whip Eagles off of him and as Eagles hit’s the ropes he holds onto them, letting Flanagan leap up and hit a dropkick on nothing but air.
Keith Oswalt: Josh Eagles shows his experience with that move as he reveals Flanagan’s own inexperience. Flanagan’s going to have to get up quick if he hopes to recover.
Eric Witz: Flanagan’s going to have to do everything right and hope for a miracle if he wants to defeat Josh Eagles.
Keith Oswalt: I don’t think you’re giving Flanagan enough credit, he’s shown in the past that he’s a damn good wrestler.
As Flanagan falls to the mat and scrambles back to his feet, Josh Eagles runs at him and just as Flanagan gets to his feet, Eagles leaps up and knocks him back down with a leg lariat. Falling on top of Flanagan as he hit’s the move, Eagles now hooks Flanagan’s leg, however Flanagan kicks out quickly at one. Getting back to his feet, Eagles pulls Flanagan with him before punching him in the stomach a few times before pulling him by the back and throwing Flanagan into the corner. Here, Eagles backs up a few steps before charging at Flanagan and going for a splash, however at the last second, Flanagan moves out of the way and watches as Eagles crashes into the turnbuckle. From here, Flanagan now grabs Eagles neck and hits him with a big neckbreaker.
Holding his neck as he is slammed into the mat, Flanagan gets back to his feet and begins to stomp on Eagles chest before finally lifting him back up and pushing him in the corner and delivering a vicious knife-edge chop. Watching Eagles chest glow bright red, Flanagan again chops Eagles chest, but after doing his he takes a few steps back from Eagles and now charges at him and instead of hitting a splash, hooks his feet into Eagles knee’s before pulling back and monkey flipping Eagles over him! After hitting the monkey flip, Flanagan goes for a cover on Eagles,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Despite exhaustion beginning to set in from his three hard fought matches, Josh Eagles manages to dig deep and kick out of the move. Flanagan now again begins to pull Eagles up to his feet, however as he is doing this, Eagles is able to roll Flanagan into a small package,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Keith Oswalt: Back to back near falls for both men there!
Eric Witz: Neither man seems to be able to get a definitive advantage over the other.
Together, both men lay on the ground, trying to regain some energy as the referee begins to start a ten count,
1...
2...
3...
4...
Josh Eagles and Kid Flanagan both begin to stir,
5...
6...
Josh Eagles and Kid Flanagan both use the ropes and get up to a knee, breaking the ten count as both show that they are willing to go on. Across the ring from each other, both men, sweating profusely, breathe heavily as they get to their feet. Finally the two lock up into a collar and elbow tie up. Here, Josh Eagles is able to put Flanagan into an arm wringer, wrenching Flanagan’s wrist before moving the hold into a top wristlock. Holding Flanagan here, Josh now sweeps Flanagan’s legs and throws him to the ground before putting Flanagan into an upper key lock, trying to force Flanagan to tap out. Holding the key lock in, Flanagan appears to near tapping out, before he lifts his legs and stiffly kicks Josh in the back of the head, forcing him to break the hold.
Using the kick as a second wind, Kid Flanagan gets back to his feet and throws a brutal kick to Josh’s leg before finally lunging in and wrapping his arm around Josh’s neck and finally driving him down with a mic check! After hitting this, Flanagan grins before he goes to the top rope and from here jumps down off of the top rope, nailing Josh Eagles in the temple with a leaping knee strike! After hitting this move, Kid Flanagan rolls through and slowly gets back to his feet and he grabs Josh Eagles from the mat and gets him up onto his shoulders before brutally throwing Josh Eagles down with Kid Wins (FU)!
Keith Oswalt: Oh my god! Kid’s going to do it! He has Josh beat!
Instantly following his finishing move, Kid Flanagan covers Josh Eagles,
1...
2...
3! NO! Just before the ref can hit three, the lights in the arena all completely black out!
Keith Oswalt: What the hell! Not again!
Eric Witz: Kid’s screwed! I love it!
As the lights turn back on, a passed out Josh Eagles can be seen with his arm draped across the chest of Kid Flanagan. Unsure of what happened, referee Chris Owens reluctantly counts the pin,
1...
2...
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, via pinfall, at 8 minutes and 17 seconds, Josh Eagles!
Keith Oswalt: This is bullshit! I demand to know who attacked Kid!
As Josh Eagles remains passed out on the mat, from underneath the ring, Obscene rolls out, a microphone in one hand, a chair in the other. A sadistic grin is plastered on his face as the crowd immediately knows who attacked Kid Flanagan.
Keith Oswalt: Obscene? Why!?
Waiting for the boos to die down, Obscene raises the microphone to his lips to speak.
Obscene: Who attacked Kid Flanagan? Why would somebody attack Kid Flanagan? What did Flanagan do to deserve to be attacked? All the answers are simple. I attacked Kid Flanagan. I left him for dead, week after week, and tonight, I took away his biggest opportunity.
Hearing deafening boos, Obscene only smiles as he looks at the crowd, all of whom have a bitter hatred towards him for his actions.
Obscene: Why, you all want to know? Because Kingdom of Pride doesn’t deserve to be made a mockery of any more. I won’t let my company be a mockery. Kid Flanagan, consider this the beginning, because I won’t stop until you are dead!
After Obscene says this, he drops the microphone on the ground and he finally slides in the ring with his chair and sets it up. Kicking Josh Eagles off of Flanagan, Obscene lifts the lifeless Obscene up to his feet before hitting him with the Obscene Driver II (Jumping Sitdown Tombstone Piledriver) through the chair! After hitting this Obscene stands above Kid Flanagan, taunting him as he looks up to the heavens above as the show finally goes off the air.
