INFINITE PRO WRESTLING PRESENTS:
ADRENALINE X: HOUSE OF HORROR.
LIVE! from International Convention Centre in Newport, Wales.
Sunday, October 23rd, 2022.
7:00 P.M. (GMT) – On BT Sport 1.
“Your mind's in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight?
Your mind is in disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia
Disturbia”
The sounds of “Disturbia” by Rihanna begin to play as the feed comes to life and pyro erupts along the stage, all of the LCD boards light up with the Adrenaline graphics and as the pyro ends? We’re given a panoramic shot of the entirety of the International Convention Centre in Newport, Wales. The arena is SOLD OUT at a maximum capacity of over ten thousand fans packed inside, on their feet, and chanting.
“I–P–DUB!”
“I–P–DUB!”
“I–P–DUB!”
“I–P–DUB!”
As the music continues to play along, the camera feed pans down towards where the commentary table resides at the ringside area, where we’re met with the ever present team of Chloe Hartwell and Luis De Leon. A wave from De Leon and a smile from Hartwell before they begin to speak.
LUIS DE LEÓN
“IT’S THE HALLOWEEN SEASON! WELCOME TO INFINITE PRO AND WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF HORRORS!”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“As if you couldn’t tell already, we’re here LIVE in the International Convention Centre and it’s about time we come to you all with a massive Adrenaline special episode for the seasonal holiday—and we’re promising that this has more twists, turns, and better storytelling than Halloween Ends could’ve ever provided for us all.”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“Still upset about it, aren’t you?”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Absolutely, and for good reason, because it was horrible and it’s a disgrace to the franchise—”
De Leon just nods their head and then cuts Hartwell off before she could finish.
LUIS DE LEÓN
“ANYWAYYYY—with that out of the way, we’ve got a huge show for all of you here tonight with two tag team matches and three championship matches! The owner and the commissioner have both put themselves out there to be sure that this is a pay-per-view level show to enjoy!”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Let’s talk about our championship matches, aye? The first of them all going to the APEX Next Level Championship—a title that was granted the permission by Matt Miles to have it be defended here tonight, and both JUDITH and C will fight for the title! After their little showdown two weeks ago, I can just imagine what they’re about to bring in the middle of the ring here tonight! The in-ring return of JUDITH and the in-ring debut of C!”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“And then we’re given the gift that keeps on giving, another showdown with Cross Recoba and Alastor Touchdown for the Infinite Pro National Openweight Championship—but this time, there’s only one other man in the match, TJ Alexander. Recoba gained entry into this match after sweeping the floor with Aubrey Mack and Alexander gained entry by narrowly avoiding Riskel Konstantine, but can they keep up the fight with Touchdown? Time’s going to tell.”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Finally, our main event. Hanzo Aguilar and Tommy Hate both went through the ringer to get to this point and they went through challenging combatants but MYOJIN is promising that the new era will continue under his name, no matter what. This is a must-see main event for the Infinite Pro World Championship!”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“Though, I think we’ve spent too much time– I hear the rookies are pushing to get things started right now!”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“That they are, so let’s begin!”
OPENER — TAG TEAM MATCH
ROXIE GEARHEART and BIANCA vs GUNNER and FLUX
DING! DING!
It is FLUX and ROXIE GEARHEART starting the match off. The two of them circle each other and then immediately LOCK UP. Flux transitions into a SIDE HEADLOCK but Roxie SHOOTS HER INTO THE ROPES and hits the canvas as Flux rebounds and hurdles over Roxie, as Flux rebounds again, Roxie leapfrogs over her and she hits the ropes again, this time ss Flux makes it to be middle of the ring, Roxie jumps and goes for a TORNADO DDT but Flux pushes her off. This time it’s Roxie who bounces off the ropes, and Flux jumps for a HURRICANRANA but Roxie catches it and is going to try for a POWERBOMB but Flux rotates, and flips, rolling Roxie into a pinning attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Roxie and Flux both quickly get to their feet and Flux walks in and grabs Roxie into a warm embrace.
ALIEN ATTACK
(A simple, friendly hug)
Shocked Roxie pushes Flux off of her and throws an elbow but Flux ducks under it and tags in GUNNER. Roxie shakes her head as she backs to her corner, tagging in BIANCA. Bianca charges in and ducks under CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT and hits a picture perfect GERMAN SUPLEX on Gunner. She goes for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Bianca picks Gunner up to stay on the attack and whips him into an unoccupied corner. Looking for a quick strike, Bianca runs in.
CAME IN CRASHING
(Spear)
NO!
Gunner is able to move out of the way just before the spear in the corner. Bianca came in crashing alright, her shoulder right to the middle turnbuckles. She staggers out of the corner, holding her shoulder and turns right into a SCOOP POWERSLAM and Gunner goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
TH-KICkOUT!
Gunner picks Bianca up and hits a SNAP SUPLEX. Another pinfall and another kickout on two. This time he stands her up into the corner and throws a KNIFE EDGE CHOP and before the crowd can even WOO, he hits a BACK ELBOW and another CHOP and a BACK KICK that drops Bianca in the corner. Gunner takes Bianca’s legs and drags her into a lying position in the corner. He backs up and runs in, using his hands to lift himself up in the corner and smashing down onto Bianca’s chest with a SEATED SENTON. He stays seated as the ref counts.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-NO! KICKOUT!
A bit frustrated that the senton didn’t put away the match, Gunner argues with the ref who assures him Bianca got the shoulder up just in time. As he argues, Bianca crawls behind Gunner and rolls him up for the pin, but the surprise pinfall doesn’t fool Gunner who rolls out of it, springs up to his feet and immediately hits a BASEMENT DROPKICK on Bianca. Instead of going for another pinfall, Gunner is hell bent on making sure this match is put away. He picks Bianca up and feins whipping her into the ropes, holds onto her arm and pulls her back towards him.
FORCE OF REALITY
(Ripcord Knee Strike)
The knee connects to Bianca’s head with a sickening thud and she drops. Gunner is back to his feet and climbs out to the apron and up to the top turnbuckle. Flux is cheering him on as Roxie desperately pleads for Bianca, trying to get her back into this. Gunner stands upright on the very top, balancing a moment and playing to the crowd. He leaps. He twists. It’s a thing of beauty.
LEAP OF FAITH
(Spiral Tap)
BIANCA GETS HER KNEES UP!!
In absolute desperation or possibly reflex Bianca is able to get her knees up just as Gunner crashes down on her. She is clearly in pain but Gunner is also writhing in pain and holding his ribs. Roxie begins stomping her feet and clapping her hands. Meanwhile, Gunner crawls towards his corner as Bianca slowly starts to inch towards hers. Gunner makes the tag and in comes Flux. Just before she is able to make it to Bianca, Bianca in a last ditch effort jumps and her fingertips connect with Roxie’s. The fans pop. Flux tries to backpedal a bit but Roxie takes the hot tag as Bianca rolls out of the ring and immediately springboards onto the top rope and lands a stiff MISSILE DROPKICK to Flux. Roxie kips up and runs the ropes and jumps, flipping backwards into a beautiful SHOOTING STAR PRESS and pinning attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Roxie gets back to her feet. As she walks a little too close to Gunner and Flux’s corner, Gunner reaches out and grabs a handful of Roxie’s hair. She turns her attention to Gunner and in that moment, Flux wraps her arms around Roxie’s waist as if to go for a German suplex. She lifts, but Roxie is able to block it. She tries to lift again and this time Roxie uses the momentum to jump up and land a SIDE HEAD KICK to Gunner in the corner, sending him crashing to the floor below. Flux isn’t able to hold on, and as Roxie lands on her feet she immediately drops back and hits a FALLING BICYCLE KICK to Flux’s head, dropping her to a knee, rattled. Roxie pulls herself up on the ropes, and sees Gunner outcold outside the ring, and Flux on kneeled over towards the middle of the ring. She smiles and motions to the crowd as she stalks over to Flux.
SILHOUETTE BLADE
(High impact swinging back elbow)
The crushing blow to the back of Flux’s head lays her out cold. Roxie drops down for the cover.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
CASEY KINCAID
“The winners of this match by pinfall... ROXIE GEARHEART AND BIANCA!!!”
LOWER MIDCARD — TAG TEAM MATCH
SPIKE KANE and NATE PIERCE vs JOE NOBODY and XOLTOL HUN
As we join the match, all four opponents are ready to go and in their respective corners. The team of Spike Kane and Nate Pierce in the one corner, Spike nods to Nate Pierce who is going to start for their team, while Joe Nobody is going to start for the team of Nobody and Xoltol Hun. Nobody offers a test of strength but Pierce just smirks, before flexing. Joe then sends a stiff chops at Pierce, who returns with one of his own. The two of them go back and forth, exchanging chop after chop before Pierce grabs Nobody in a big belly to belly suplex sending Joe clear across the ring, Nate kips right back up to his feet, and as Joe turns around he SLAMS into him!
PUNCTURE WOUND!!!
(Spear)
The crowd go nuts as Pierce leaps right into the torso of Joe Nobody and takes him down hard. Pierce climbs to his feet and as he does so, Spike tags himself in. he nods to Pierce who lifts Joe up onto his shoulders as Spike climbs the turnbuckle and the two combine for a Doomsday Device! Pierce leaves the ring, and Spike goes for a cover.
One!
Two!
KICKOUT!
Spike rolls to his feet, grabbing Joe by his short hair, but Joe springs to life and sends a stiff uppercut to the jaw of Spike Kane that staggers him, Joe presses his advantage with another few blows, he then hits the ropes and leaps through the air taking Spike down with a diving forearm and rolling into a flip right back to his feet, just as Spike rolls back to his. Joe hits the ropes again, but this time Spike catches him, he pops him up!
BLOOD GOD’S WRATH!!!
(Pop-up Powerbomb)
Spike walks back over to the corner and tags in Pierce, who nods before climbing over the ropes. Pierce begins to pace the ring as he waits for Joe Nobody to get back to his feet. Joe struggles, but wobbles as he makes it to one knee, before the crowd cheer him on to rise back to his feet, almost as if he was single-handedly taking on the team of Nate Pierce and Spike Kane. With a burst of effort, Joe rises to his feet, only for Pierce to slam his foot right into his face with a huge big boot! Now it is Nate’s turn to trot over to his corner and tag in Spike Kane.
Spike slowly approaches Joe, who is trying to stagger to his corner to tag in his partner, but Hun doesn’t seem to be there!? He turns around just as Spike lines up his shot and BAM! Spike connects with the BLOODY SUNDAY (Black Mass) and Joe Nobody drops like a sack of potatoes. Spike looks around for Xoltol Hun, but cannot see her, Pierce shrugs also as he doesn’t know where she went. After the two exchange a quick shrug, Spike slowly goes for the pinfall.
One!
Two!
Three-NO!!!
Xoltol Hun pops up out of nowhere, having hid from the tag from Joe Nobody and cleverly places Joe’s foot on the ropes! She leans and tags herself in to save the fall. Spike spots her and goes to run after her, but she sprints around the ring before sliding in around the corner. Spike is following her, but is met by a baseball slide from Joe Nobody. Xoltol Hun approaches Nate while the referee is distracted and attempts to kick him square in the nuts! But Pierce side steps before he grabs Hun by the throat!
DEEP SEA PLUNGE FROM THE APRON INTO THE RING!
(Chokebomb)
Behind, Nobody was clubbing away at Spike, but Kane head buts Joe which throws him off balance before he nails him with a kick to the mid-section, and follows up.
THUNDERSTRUCK!!!!
Nobody bounces out of the ring, as Spike looks down at Hun, then up at Pierce who shrugs. Spike puts his foot on the throat of Hun as the referee calls the fall.
One!
Two!!
Three!!!
The referee calls for the bell as Nate Pierce enters the ring to celebrate with Spike. The two nod heads at each other and each raise their arms. Pierce turns and extends his hand to Spike, and for a moment Kane hesitates as he looks up at the bigger man, before he again nods his head and takes the hand of Nate Pierce, shaking it, before raising both their arms into the air to celebrate the victory.
We cut to the outside of the International Convention Centre, where we are met with the visual of a crackling within a steel drum that radiates some of the cold night a faint orange glow. Sitting on the floor beside it, hunched over with his arms hanging over his knees, former #1 contender for the IPW World Championship, Hank Haggard Jr, now dawning an eyepatch over his right eye. In the background, Clancy Haggard was pacing impatiently, occasionally stopping to toss a stick towards the barrel. Jack Haggard was leaning against the Centre wall, lit cigarette burning as it hangs from his lips with his hands buried deep in his pockets.
JACK HAGGARD
“Man, ain’t this just some bullshit? First, we’re told our contracts with IPW are “under review,” whatever that means, then we’re asked to come to Wales but told at the door we ain’t allowed in the buildin’. If bossman want’s ta fire us, why don’t he just do it over the phone and save us the trip?”
CLANCY HAGGARD
“HE’S JUST MESSING WITH US. HE WANNA FIRE YA TO YA FACES! I SAY WE GO IN THERE AND BUST A FEW BEFORE HE GET THE CHANCE!”
JACK HAGGARD
“Cool ya jets, Butchy. Let’s see how this plays out first. Then we’ll decide where ta go from there.”
HANK HAGGARD JR
*Annoyed muffled yelling*
JACK HAGGARD
“Boy, you’re the last person that should be lookin’ for trouble right now so you outta hush your damn self.”
??
“I assume you’re going to put that fire out humanely after we’re done here.”
As if on cue, Jason Long steps out from the venue side entrance, approaching the Haggard brothers with a bag beneath his arm. Hank stands up in a rush, but a hand is put on his chest by Jack.
JACK HAGGARD
“Speak of the devil, he shall appear. Ya got a lotta nerve to call us out here and then have security keep us outside like that, Bossman. Or are we here to not call you that no more?”
JASON LONG
“Mere safety precautions. You guys aren’t exactly known for keeping professional composure. But to answer your question; no. Your contracts were under review, but I called you here for two reasons and the first was to confirm that you’re reinstated.”
JACK HAGGARD
“Oh, is that right?”
JASON LONG
“Don’t look the gift horse in the mouth. Controversy is great business. Safe to say, there aren’t many people creating controversy like the lot of you. It gets people talking. But don’t for one second believe I am going to reward your actions. If I didn’t want more eyes on IPW, I wouldn’t hesitate to get my own back for putting your hands on me at Night of Champions XIII.”
JACK HAGGARD
“So you’re trying to leash us now, is that it? Keep us on the payroll, give us a slap on the wrist, tell us not to do it again? I got news for ya, man; Y’aint seen nothin’ yet from us. We been takin’ it easy. We gon’ paint this place red!”
JASON LONG
“And you’ll face consequences accordingly. I’m not wasting my time debating with you three how to conduct yourselves. The first order of business was to inform you you’re still under contract. The second goes against my better judgment. Hank got his prize for the tag team gauntlet match all the way back at First Contact. Now, unfortunately, I have to give you yours, Jack.”
JACK HAGGARD
“Bout damn time! My turn to get a crack at Myojin and that IPW World Championship?”
JASON LONG
“No. With how you lot approached the last title match, the last thing I’ll be doing is rewarding those actions.”
HANK HAGGARD JR
*Yells muffled profanities directed at Jason Long.*
JASON LONG
“I don’t… what are you saying?”
JACK HAGGARD
“Pay him no mind. His jaw is all wired shut. Shattered jaw and orbital bones from the Stomp Myojin gave him.”
JASON LONG
“Well, that will complicate things a little. Nonetheless, we’ve finally decided to make good on the prize you were after since First Contact. Pains me as it does to say this, I am here to award you with the Infinite Pro World Tag Team Championships.”
Jason pulls two championship belts from the bag beneath his arm, presenting them to Jack who picks one of them up into his hands, letting out a sharp whistle.
JACK HAGGARD
“My oh my, ain’t she beautiful!?”
Hank reaches for the other championship belt, but Jason pulls it back.
JASON LONG
“Given the information I’ve just been given, I’m afraid I can’t award you the championship, Hank.”
HANK HAGGARD JR
*Confused and angry muffled yelling.”
JACK HAGGARD
“Hold on now, you just said that we are the tag team champions. We deserve these, you can’t award the title to just me and not him.”
JASON LONG
“If his jaw is shattered and his orbital bone is fractured, he’s not in any condition to compete. We can’t sanction him as champion.”
JACK HAGGARD
“But this was our prize!”
JASON LONG
“No, this is YOUR prize, Jack. Until Hank recovers completely and gets cleared by our doctors, I could just take the championships away for being unable to defend them. BUT, I’m willing to let you keep them as long as Clancy can substitute for him.”
CLANCY HAGGARD
“HUUUH?!”
JACK HAGGARD
“Clancy hasn’t even had a match yet, and you want him to substitute in for Hank?!”
JASON LONG
“Those are your only options. Your call.”
CLANCY HAGGARD
“I’M GON BE JUST LIKE ACE! GIMME!”
Clancy snatches the championship from Jason, looking deeply at it.
JACK HAGGARD
“Shiiiit… Well, guess we don’t got much in terms of choices.”
JASON LONG
“No, you don’t. But since you’ve now officially become the Infinite Pro World Tag Team Champions; I will inform you that you’ll be defending them at the next pay-per-view in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.”
JACK HAGGARD
“Against who?”
JASON LONG
“All in due time. Take the moment to go an celebrate. I don’t care where, just not here.”
Jason turns on his heel and leaves, leaving the three Haggard boys staring at the championships in their hands.
CLANCY HAGGARD
“CAN Y’ALL BELIEVE I’M A CHAMPION ALREADY? BEFORE MY FIRST MATCH TOO!”
HANK HAGGARD JR
*Swipes at the title angrily yelling behind his wired jaw.*
JACK HAGGARD
“Y’all better cut that out and get to behavin’! We are in the thick of it now, boys. Dead End Express is back on the rails!”
UPPER MIDCARD
APEX WRESTLING NEXT LEVEL CHAMPIONSHIP
JUDITH ©️ vs C
DING! DING!
The opening bell rang and there isn't any time for the two competitors to size each other up -- JUDITH is stalking right toward C! Malicious intent is written all along her face with a sick smirk growing ever more clear. C is taken aback by the sudden approach, but once the champion gets close enough, he shoots down low, aiming to take her down by capturing her legs. JUDITH is on the mat, but she isn't worried in the slightest. C mounts her, looking for an armbar of sorts, but the Boogeyman uses her strength to push him off of her. C scrambles to his feet. JUDITH pops back up. C goes for another takedown, but his plans are instantly thwarted by a sickening HEADBUTT from JUDITH! C stumbles, and that gives the champion a chance to pick him up for a POWERBOMB! Right out the gate, she's looking to do some serious damage as her eyes are set on one of the corners of the ring. JUDITH gets a running start, ready to launch C into the turnbuckle! However, C reverses with a HURRICANRANA, sending her into the corner! JUDITH goes shoulder fist, and while trapped, C comes from behind and rolls her up!
ONE— KICKOUT!
JUDITH powers out! The momentary advantage allows C to go for an ARMBAR. JUDITH is resisting! C looks to go and capture the other arm, but the champion decks him with a PUNCH! Then another! C is stunned — and this allows JUDITH to get up while using her arm to hold him up! The fans in attendance gasp! She has him in the air, and what goes up must always come down as she sends him into the canvas with the IMPROVISED ONE-HANDED POWERBOMB! C lets go from the impact, favoring his back. JUDITH checks her arm, but with no tangible damage done thus far, she realizes she's good to go to inflict more punishment onto the Purifier!
Getting up, JUDITH overwhelms C with a FLURRY OF STOMPS, PUNCHES AND HAMMERFISTS! Once she's satisfied beating him down, she takes a hold of his wrist and begins to manipulate the joint, causing C to groan out in pain! She applies AS MUCH PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE onto the wrist while going at the fingers. C goes to reach for the ropes, but JUDITH presses her knee onto the stretching arm, trapping it!
CHLOE HARTWELL
“This is looking really bad for C already. JUDITH can do some serious damage here if he isn't able to get out of this!”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“No kidding. Ouch. JUDITH is as tactical as she is brutal, and that's why she's been a fearsome competitor not only here in Infinite Pro, but elsewhere! There's no one quite like her!”
The situation looks grim for a while, but somehow, someway, C was able to find a way out! He KICKS at JUDITH multiple times on the top of the head, and eventually, she releases! JUDITH staggers back, holding onto the top of her head while C scurries up. The challenger runs in and hits a KNEE STRIKE! JUDITH stumbles back into the corner! C finds a new burst of life and runs in— but as he gets close, JUDITH traps him and sends him crashing into the turnbuckles with a FRONT SUPLEX! JUDITH covers!
ONE!
TW— KICKOUT!
C is holding onto his lower back. However, he doesn't get any chance for reprieve as JUDITH forces him back onto his feet. She spins and strikes!
BUTCHER'S BLADE!!
(Spinning Back Elbow Strike to the throat)
C falls back into the corner, gasping for air as he clutches his throat! JUDITH gets closer and strikes him with some WELL-PLACED, METHODICAL PUNCHES all throughout his midsection. C is hurting, and this allows JUDITH to sit him on the top turnbuckle. She scales up, and C does his best to fight back by punching her over the head! A few blows land, but JUDITH retaliates with a BACK ELBOW! Another HEADBUTT seals the deal, making C slump! JUDITH stands, grabs him, and lifts him up!
FEAR STREET 78!!
(Superplex from the top turnbuckle)
C lays on the mat as JUDITH floats over, getting the cover!
ONE!
TWO— KICKOUT!!
JUDITH doesn't look annoyed. In fact, she's smiling! She does a nod, as if to say 'okay' before she rises, looking down at C who's still struggling to stand. She drags him to his feet and pushes him into the ropes. On the rebound, she CLOBBERS HIM WITH AN UPPERCUT! The impact makes C stumble into the ropes, and on the rebound, JUDITH takes him out with a LARIAT, TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT! The champion looks to be firmly in the driver's seat as she takes a few steps back and gets a running start. She jumps into the air and comes CRASHING DOWN WITH A SENTON! She pops up and gets C up, getting him close.
FAREWELL II FLESH
(Knee Lifts + Snapmare followed by a Basement Dropkick)
BUT NO!!
Just as JUDITH was about to hit C with the dropkick, he ROLLS OUT of the way at the last possible last second! JUDITH gets on her knees, ready to come back up before C runs and hits the PENALTY KICK! The force of the kick was so hard that he stumbles into the ropes, having to hold on to the top rope to stop his momentum! The sickening shot is heard throughout the arena, inspiring 'oohs' and cheers from the fans. JUDITH stands, but C is right there to catch her with the RUNNING FRONT DROPKICK! JUDITH tumbles through the ropes and drops to the outside! She lands on her feet, hand on her face. C exits and gets on the apron, waiting as JUDITH's back is towards him. She turns, and he comes running in, going for another kick! No! JUDITH CATCHES THE ATTACKING LEG! She pushes it back, causing C to drop face-first onto the apron! JUDITH picks him up in a fallaway position and walks around before turning her back towards the barricade.
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Oh, no...”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“Oh no, indeed. JUDITH has C trapped!”
JUDITH throws C overhead, CRASHING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE WITH THE FALLAWAY SLAM! C yells out in pain! The fans look on in shock while a sick grin spreads across the champion's face! With the momentum back on her side, she rolls C back into the ring before stalking him. She waits as C is slow to stand up. Then, as soon as he gets to his feet…
EVIL WITHIN!
(Pumphandle Lift dropped into a Reverse STO)
C is laid out as JUDITH covers!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
NO!!! C GETS HIS SHOULDER UP! HE BREAKS THE COUNT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!
The fans go crazy! JUDITH's eyes widen, but whatever shock she had goes away and a quiet frustration begins to brew within the Butcher. She gets up and drags C right along with her as she takes a hold of his hair. C whips him into the ropes! C comes back and JUDITH lifts him up!
MURDER AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR!!
(Pop-up Powerbomb)
BUT NO!!
C CATCHES HER WITH THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE! He has her trapped! JUDITH is struggling! She sends a punch into the side of C but he's still hanging on! JUDITH walks towards the ropes, reaching out! However, C grabs a hold of the arm and WRENCHES AT THE WRIST, almost mirroring what the champion was doing with him! JUDITH grits her teeth! She turns and goes to run into the corner! C's back collides once more in the corner and he is forced to relinquish the hold. JUDITH backs up and charges in. C DUCKS! He gets out of the way! JUDITH backs up after going chest-fist, and from behind, C grabs her and spins her around, grabbing the arm!
A NEW BEGINNING!
(Double Knee Armbreaker)
CHLOE HARTWELL
“And C could very well end things right here and right now! We could see him make JUDITH tap!”
LUIS DE LEÓN
"Imagine if he was able to do that! That would be insane!”
But that seemed to be the name of the game. As JUDITH goes down, C maintains a hold on the arm and flips over into a bridging position!
LOTUS FLOWER!
(Bridging Fujiwara Armbar)
CHLOE HARTWELL
“And this is the most vulnerable we've seen JUDITH in this match! C is holding on, not letting go of that arm!”
JUDITH looks to claw her way to the ropes! C lets go and drops an elbow on the arm before taking JUDITH back to the center of the ring. He goes to get the arm bar locked in again, but JUDITH punches him in the face! C lets go! JUDITH rises, and runs straight at the challenger!
NEWFOUND PEACE!
(Air Raid Bomb)
C uses JUDITH's momentum against her to pop her up and hit the move on her! The fans go crazy! C holds on to his back before he drops down and pins her.
ONE!!
TWO!!
THRE— KICKOUT!
The fans in attendance let out a collective sigh. Some of disappointment, others in shock! C himself looks lost but tries to gather his thoughts, not wanting his emotions to take over. He drags JUDITH up, and tries to lift her, but at that point the adrenaline was wearing off and C drops to his knee. His hand goes to his back. JUDITH is able to pinpoint this and delivers the POINT OF HER ELBOW onto it! C flinches, but he fights back with an ELBOW TO THE GUT! JUDITH groans, but she hits him with an OVERHEAD PUNCH! C stands and delivers a FOREARM SMASH to her face! The two go BACK AND FORTH, CHAMPION AND CHALLENGER, THE SHAPE OF HATE AGAINST THE NEW HOPE! The fans come alive for the duel! Eventually, JUDITH gets one-up on C and KICKS HIM IN THE GUT! She follows up with a HELLACIOUS BIG BOOT that takes him off of his feet entirely!
C is down and JUDITH looks at the top of the turnbuckle. Slowly, she makes her way up. She's perched on top while C struggles to stand up! He gets to his feet, albeit wobbly. JUDITH rises to her feet, and as C turns around, he's in her line of sight!
EVIL FLYS TONIGHT!!
(Missile Dropkick from the top rope)
BUT NO!!
C runs and hits the YAKUZA KICK! JUDITH goes down, sitting on the top turnbuckle! C gathers his breath before scaling up. He PUNCHES JUDITH! However, she's able to shake off her daze and PUNCH HIM BACK! The two go at each other, waring with punches and strikes on top! JUDITH tries to go for a HEADBUTT, but C is one step-ahead and decks her with the same attack she had in mind! Both nearly fall! C is able to hold on to the ropes and steadies himself while JUDITH is loopy! C takes her onto his shoulders…
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Oh my gosh...”
LUIS DE LEÓN
"No way...”
C leaps off of the top, and he takes JUDITH right down onto the canvas!
PRAY!
(Cross-legged Samoan Driver)
HOLY SHIT!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!
JUDITH is sprawled out on the ring mat while C makes a crawl towards her! Once he's close, he slings his arm over her! The referee goes in as C pin hers!
ONE!!!
...
TWO!!!
...
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
The referee calls for the bell as “So Real” plays throughout the arena. The fans have come unglued! C rolls over, staring up at the ceiling.
CASEY KINCAID
“Here is the winner of ths match, by pinfall… and THE NEEWWWWWWW APEX Next Level Champion.... C!!!!!”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“I... wow! Just, wow! I mean, what is there to say? He was able to do it! Just when we thought JUDITH would put him away, C was able to pull through and beat her!"
LUIS DE LEÓN
"This is a monumental win for C here tonight. Both wrestlers gave it their all to give this title one last defense it deserved, and tonight, C gets to take home a part of APEX Wrestling with him. All the while, it'll be interesting to see what this young man has in store for everyone here in Infinite Pro!”
C is finally able to stand, and the referee hands him the Next Level Championship. C looks at it, almost at a lost while the fans cheer him on. C raises it, in pain yet proud all the same.
HEADLINER
INFINITE PRO NATIONAL OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP — TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
CROSS RECOBA vs ALASTOR TOUCHDOWN ©️ vs TJ ALEXANDER
The contest begins with all three competitors circling the ring before the champ immediately leaves, smirking and telling his two opponents to go at it while he watches. Instead, TJ and Cross also leave the ring, surrounding Alastor and jumping him down with a two-on-one assault, laying into him with punches and kicks. The champion’s cocky attitude costs him as he’s soon sent crash into the barricade by both foes. With Touchdown out, both TJ and Cross returned to the ring. Both competitors charge at one another but Alexander is able to duck a lariat attempt and immediately attempts a Crash Landing, Cross counters and immediately pulls him in for an O'Connor roll which barely gets one count.
Both competitors back onto their feet as TJ swings for a roundhouse but Cross ducks and tries for a leg sweep which TJ is able to react to quickly with a leap and flying right into Cross’ chest with a foot stomp. Going right for a pin.
ONE!
TW—
Cross with a kick out as TJ immediately gets his foe up and connects with an elbow to the rib cage, near the area that his feet crashed into just moments ago. TJ now gets Cross up and immediately sends him into a nearby corner with an Irish whip but his follow-up is unsuccessful as Cross is able to get out of the corner and connects with a chop right to the chest of TJ. This time it’s Cross who sends his foe right to the opposite corner with an Irish Whip but TJ’s incredible quickness comes into play as he uses the turnbuckles to get some height and backflips over his foe. Alexander immediately goes for a waist lock but immediately he eats a back elbow from his foe that sends him reeling back groggy right into the arms of ALASTOR TOUCHDOWN who makes his return into the match by connecting a Snap German Suplex to TJ. The impact on his neck has The Aerial Assassin rolling out of the ring in pain, Recoba’s eyes are now firmly on Touchdown but the champion seems to be telling him to slow down. Almost like Alastor is looking for an alliance of sorts to remove TJ from the equation early which Recoba seems to be okay with as both competitors get Alexander up and immediately Recoba lights up Alexander with one more chop, while TJ winces in pain, Touchdown from behind connects with one of his own to the back of Touchdown.
TJ is attacked once again with a series of stiff chops from both of his foes as the match has slowly turned into a two-on-one mugging against Alexander. He is soon sent off the ring by both of his opponents. With the match once again a one-on-one, immediately Alastor tries to sneak a win as he rolls up Cros from behind
ONE!
TW—
A two-count and kick out from Cross who upon getting up, immediately swings for Alastor but Touchdown is able to duck and connect with a slap to the face of Cross. The challenger’s eyes light up with anger as Touchdown goes for one more but the attempt is blocked by Cross who slips behind and tries go for a backdrop but Touchdown easily flips out of the attempt and pushes his foe to the ropes right into a STEP UP ENZUIGIRI FROM TJ ALEXANDER! The Aerial Assassin is back in this match as he slingshots him with a Springboard Forearm that takes out Cross Recoba. As TJ connects with a big move, immediately Alastor tries to sneak from behind with a deadlift German, trying to spike TJ on his neck once again but this time TJ FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FEET! TJ CONNECTS WITH A SUPERKICK AND PULLS IN A STUNNED TOUCHDOWN FOR A BRAINBUSTER! GAME CHANGER CONNECTS, A COVER NOW!

DING! DING! DING!
For the second time tonight, “Gratitude” by The Beastie Boys plays out through the speakers and Alastor Touchdown has retained his Infinite Pro National Openweight Championship by pinning arch-rival for the championship, Cross Recoba. The crowd are booing loudly as Touchdown shouts profanities towards the Welsh crowd, now being joined by Tuna Meltzer, and they both celebrate inside of the ring. But then the lights inside of the centre go dark for a moment and then come back on, with Meltzer and Touchdown still standing where they were before, but there’s one extra body with them.
The Boogeyman, JUDITH.
Touchdown turned their head around to find JUDITH standing behind him and darted out of the ring, leaving Tuna Meltzer in the clutches of JUDITH as she grabbed him by the throat and looked toward the National Openweight Champion. A snarling look from JUDITH appears before she pushes Tuna Meltzer into the ropes and makes him rebound right into her!
POP UP POWERBOMB!
MURDER AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR!
Tuna Meltzer is completely folded up by The Shape of Hate as she kicks him out of the ring and right down at the feet of Alastor Touchdown, who’s holding his championship up high and telling the newest challenger that the title will stay with him for as long as it takes. JUDITH smiles, sinisterly, as she points towards the National Openweight Championship and keeps her eyes onto Touchdown as the camera fades away from the two.
PRESENTS
TAP OUT WRESTLING 8
JASON LONG VS JACK DIAMOND
Long started his tenure in Tap Out with an unexpected loss at Tap Out Wrestling 1 to Close Collins but since then he has run through opponents without a thought to the blip on his record. Displaying a more clinical approach over the course of his streak, we've seen him run through Jackalope, put Danni Anderson away with a potential spot of the year and then eliminate both Isabella von Krauss and more shockingly, NOMAD by DQ. With each match presenting its own challenges, he'll surely be relishing facing off against an opponent which he has studied up close.
Diamond now has the only undefeated streak in the company, standing at 4-0 at the time of writing. Having taken down Adrien Cochrane, besting Close Collins twice and at Tap Out Wrestling 7, somehow pulling something out the bag to take down Poena. Where some critics might point to as a potential banana skin is that Poena didn't leave him unharmed, working his arm over and at one point using the exposed turnbuckle to deliver a Top Rope Shoulder breaker. A month off would help heal the damage but Jack doesn't have that luxury, the End of Days tournament could see him competing every week in October giving him precious time to rehab, let alone prepare a camp for the match
When that bell rings, both men will want to best the other - though they may be Icons, they're both incredibly competitive and with the winner getting a month off to prepare for the final, neither will want to risk putting more matches on the clock to try and get back out from the Losers' bracket. Will it be the striking prowess of Long or the technical game of Diamond that prevails? We can't wait for this match to come around and deliver a potential Tap Out Match of the Year!
MAIN EVENT
INFINITE PRO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP — TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
TOMMY HATE vs MYOJIN ©️ vs HANZO AGULIAR
DING! DING!
The bell had rang and all three of the combatants stared towards one another, awaiting the first move of whoever was going to throw the first punch. MYŌJIN, HANZO AGUILAR and TOMMY HATE. They all looked at one another and they all just waited. Hate began to mouth away at the champion but he didn’t notice out of the corner of his eye was Aguilar rushing in from the side and landing a PUMP KICK on the side of the head of the distracted Black Knight as he fell through the ropes and out of the ring. However, that left things open for The Shining Star to leap in and take the offence to Aguilar with the HARAI GOSHI and now keeping The Eagle down and grounded with a HEAD LOCK. Tommy Hate soon entered the ring once again and he began to land STOMPS DOWN ONTO MYŌJIN! The Blackguard dragged MYŌJIN away from Hanzo and into the corner, landing a series of STREET FIGHTING PUNCHES right to the head of the champion!
Hanzo, from behind, clocks Hate with a STIFFENED FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD that almost crumbles right on top of MYŌJIN. Aguilar grabbed onto Hate and dragged him into the middle of the ring, pushing him into the upright stance and going for the OPEN EYES but Hate ducked the kick and turned right around to land the HAIL MARY but Hanzo ducked the knockout punch! Aguilar lands the PUMP KICK and then lands a ROLLING ELBOW right onto the jaw of Hate, but he shakes it off and connects with a BODY SHOT TO THE LIVER before landing the CLINCH KNEE STRIKES TO THE HEAD as it drops Aguilar to the mat, down to one knee and seemingly rocked heavy. Hanzo looks up to Hate and then pushes him away, giving Aguilar the chance to leap back into the fight and jump up to connect a JUMPING KNEE to the jaw of Hate! The Enmity is rocked and falls back into the ropes!
DECAPITATING HIGH-IMPACT PENDULUM LARIAT!
WORLD EATER!
The Eagle gets turned inside out from the impact of Hate’s Lariat, almost being dropped on the side of his head and now Hate feels himself getting more charged up to continue on fighting, but he’s greeted with MYŌJIN coming back into the fight with a STOMP TO THE FOOT and then a KNEE LIFT RIGHT TO THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE before ended the series of strikes with the SPACE TORNADO MYŌJIN! Hate is dropped onto his own arm after the Hammerlock STO and that’s what MYOJIN goes right after as they watch Hate get to all fours before running in and landed a targeted SOCCER KICK TO THE ARM, now keeping the arm down under their foot and STOMPING DOWN ONTO THE TARGETED RIGHT ARM OF HATE! MYOJIN has a huge fire within their eyes as he uses their legs to twist the arm in a ARM TWIST and continuing to torture Hate for those closed-hand punches he landed earlier.
However, Aguilar was looking to get right back into the action and attacked just before MYOJIN could continue with the arm torture of Tommy Hate, landing the BACKSTABBER right into the spine of the World Champion and now landing the CRUCIFIX ELBOWS right down onto the head of MYOJIN as they’re kept grounded by Hanzo Aguilar! The Ever So Heavenly was able to slip free from the elbows after having four or five connecting, springing right back to their feet and connecting the KAKATO OTOSHI just before Aguilar could get to his feet! The Axe Kick stunned Aguilar long enough for MYOJIN to shake off the series of elbows to the side of the head, falling back into the ropes and charging in towards the kneeling Aguilar for the KATHARSIS but Aguilar popped the champion up into the air as the foot hovered over the head! SIT OUT POWERBOMB from Hanzo Aguilar! Hanzo just planted the champion down with full force behind the Powerbomb but he’s not aware of who’s standing right behind him! Hate is back into the fight and shaking the arm! The Blackguard grabs Hanzo and drags him back to his feet!
HALF-NELSON SUPLEX!
MURDERPLEX!
Hate folded up Aguilar with the first of the many Muderplexes to come for The Eagle, rolling him over and slowly dragging him right back up onto his feet and hooking the arms into position for another Half Nelson Suplex.
MURDERPLEX—
STANDING SHIRANUI!
MOON HALO!
Aguilar found a way to counter the Murderplex in time but he wasn’t aware of what was about to come in the form of The Shining Star back up onto their feet again and back into the fight, rushing in from the rebound off of the ropes and in towards Aguilar!
RUNNING CURB STOMP!
KATHARSIS!
MYOJIN came out of nowhere with the stomp right down to the back of the head of Aguilar and now all three combatants are down and out! The crowd inside of the International Convention Centre are on their feet and jaw-dropped with the sequence of moves that they just witnessed! The sold out crowd are split into thirds for each combatant in the main event—a third chanting “HANZO”, a third chanting “HATE”, and a third chanting “MYOJIN”—and it’s the champion that’s back on their feet first! Hate is next up to their feet and both Hate and MYOJIN stare down one another, both heavily breathing and now both swinging for one another, Hate landing most of those STREET FIGHTING PUNCHES once again and taking the advantage over the World Champion as he rushes the ropes and rebounds but MYOJIN finds an opening with the LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE INCOMING HATE! MYOJIN goes back towards the arm that they targeted earlier in the match and this time locking in a SCISSORS LOCK, trapping the arm and bending it back to try and pop it out of place, leaving Hate screaming in pain and agony but after a while? He’s just laughing at the pain!
However, the hold is broken before MYOJIN could do more further damage to the limb of Hate as Aguilar pulls MYOJIN off of Hate and drags them into the middle of the ring, looking for the HOSHIKIRI but MYOJIN was able to turn it around before Hanzo can twist around and drop the elbow! The Shining Star is able to lift Hanzo up into a VERTICAL SUPLEX LIFT and keep him hovering up in the vertical stance for a moment before dropping him down, slingshotting off of the ropes, and springing him right back up into the vertical lift to land a SHOUTEN KAI! The Welsh crowd cannot believe what they’ve just seen! The impact of the Suplex Side Slam rolled Hanzo over and back onto his feet, clearly shaken up by what had just happened! MYOJIN lets out a loud roar before rushing in and going for the FROM OSAKA WITH LOVE I but Hanzo dropped to the mat and the foot of the World Champion just barely grazed him. Though, they weren’t the only ones standing at the moment!
RUNNING PUMP KICK TO THE OPPONENT SENDING THEM OVER THE ROPES!
ROCKET PROPELLED KICK!
The World Champion got sent over the ropes and down onto the floor below, now leaving Hate and Aguilar together in the ring, and Hate doesn’t waste any time putting the final nail in the coffin and giving himself the chance to become Infinite Pro World Champion!
DOUBLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER!
DEATH’S HEAD!
Hate planted Hanzo Aguilar down to the mat and floated over for the cover, pinning both shoulders down and making the cover legal as JACKSON MILLER started the count!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—
SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
MYOJIN found their way back into the match and found a way to make sure that Hate doesn’t walk out with the championship here tonight, but that might’ve been MYOJIN’s biggest mistake because now there’s a much angered Tommy Hate facing them down! Hate throws the CLOSED HAND FISTS towards The One of One, who narrowly avoids them as they back away a small bit, using their feet to kick away and now using the open chance to land the ROUNDHOUSE KICK which rocks Hate enough to drop him to one knee and then the SHOOT KICK, followed up with the SPINNING HEEL KICK and a BUZZSAW KICK before landing an AXE KICK and a final SUPERKICK!
STARDUST RUSH!
Hate drops to the mat and MYOJIN stands tall over The Blackguard, now seeking the opportunity to take the win and gain his second defence over both Hanzo and Tommy, as they begin to climb to the top rope and keep their back turned to Hate.
IMPLODING 450 SPLASH!
FALLING FROM HEAVEN!
The World Champion drops down onto Hate with the Splash and now they hook the legs of The Blackguard, but on the opposite side of the ring is Hanzo Aguilar slowly beginning to move! Jackson Miller makes the count!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—
Hanzo breaks the count in time just before the three count was made, and now it’s time for Hanzo to make the move, to finish the job and secure himself his first World Championship in the span of just three whole professional matches! Aguilar grabs MYOJIN by the head and throws them into the ropes, trying to throw them through the ropes but they counter with the 858– but Aguilar ducks the Hook Kick and pushes MYOJIN into the ropes once again, making them rebound and right back towards Hanzo—POP UP POWERBOMB, folding The Shining Star up! Aguilar grabs onto Hate and wants to make sure that both men are down and out, to secure his place at the top of the mountain, bringing The Black Knight back up to his feet but Hate has awoken! The arms are hooked and now the lift to DEATH’S HEAD– but Hanzo flips out of it and now stands behind Hate!
HOOK KICK!
OPEN EYES!
The kick lands and Hate falls forward towards the ropes but MYOJIN is back alive once again, throwing Hanzo Aguilar over the ropes, and not aware of Hate’s rebound off of the ropes and running towards MYOJIN, arm up straight and swinging it forward!
WORLD EATER—
MODIFIED LEG-TRAP SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
Hate got dropped almost onto his neck from the impact and MYOJIN is looking to make the cover, but Hanzo flips back into the ring and grabs onto MYOJIN, pulling them off of Hate and throwing them into the corner, now rushing in and landing the ROPE-AIDED GAMENGIRI to the head of the World Champion! MYOJIN steps out of the corner and they’re met with a kick from behind!
OPEN EYES!
And now, the setup is complete for Hanzo Aguilar to become the World Champion! The Eagle is about to soar as he grabs The Shining Star from behind, using the corner to flip over!
INVERTED SHIRANUI FLIPPED INTO A DDT!
LAST WINE!
NO! MYOJIN has a hold of Hanzo and is keeping him in the air—but Hate is back up to his feet! The Blackguard grabs Hanzo from behind and wants to do something completely insane! Hanzo, using all of his strength, is lifting MYOJIN up with a SUPLEX LIFT and Hate is hoisting up Hanzo with all of the weight of two men in his arms! GERMAN SUPLEX from Tommy Hate onto Hanzo Aguilar whilst he lands the SUPLEX onto MYOJIN! An unbelievable feat of strength done by Tommy Hate and now he lets out a loud roar to the crowd, grabbing Hanzo by the mask and now trying to rip the mask apart– trying to bring disgrace to the culture of professional wrestling but Hanzo fights free– and Hate grabs onto the mask again, pulling Hanzo back in and into the DEATH’S HEAD again! Aguilar fights free but Hate expects it, catching The Eagle again and now this time going for the MALADJUSTMENT! Hanzo lands on his feet and shoots to the head of Hate with the SUPERKICK and now follows up with the rebound and into the BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE but Hate ducked it and now spins around!
HIGH IMPACT DISCUS PUNCH!
HAIL MARY!
Both men drop to the mat and Hate is left on all fours, crawling towards Hanzo and looking for the cover! Looking to become the third-ever Infinite Pro World Champion!
KATHARSIS!
MYOJIN from out of nowhere and with the Running Curb Stomp down to the head of Tommy Hate! Now, bringing Hate back up to his feet, a last ditch effort to retain the championship! Using everything they’ve got in the tank to this one move!
ABDOMINAL STRETCH FLIPPED INTO A MODIFIED CRUCIFIX DRIVER!
THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU!
MYOJIN holds Hate down as Jackson Miller drops down to make the count!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
The compressed, 8-bit sounds of Silhouette by PASTEL GHOST reverbs throughout the arena once again as the crowd get onto their feet once again, a standing ovation for the reigning and defending Infinite Pro World Champion now beginning his celebration for the second defence as champion. All three of the main event’s combatants are still laid out on the ring mat after an absolute war between the three, after everything that they’ve put their souls into to hold the championship they fought for, but at the end of the night, the world belonged to MYOJIN as they finally found their footing and stood tall over both men.
The championship handed to them, now raised up high, and the era continues to shine bright like a star. However, the celebrations are soon cut short by the sounds of a very familiar tune playing through the speakers—now playing for the third time tonight.
The crowd cannot believe what they’re about to witness as the gentle strums of a guitar resonate through the arena again and “So Real” by Jeff Buckley plays. The spotlight shines down onto the stage and that’s when we’re greeted with the sight of the brand new APEX Next Level Champion, C! Their second time out here tonight and, by the looks of things, their intentions have become clear. The purification doesn’t stop there with the now-deceased APEX Wrestling, but with Infinite Pro Wrestling as well, and they want their shot at the Infinite Pro World Championship. C makes their way down to the ring and enters, standing in front of MYOJIN as the two lock eyes with one another, nodding their heads with one another. And, without even saying a word to one another, both raise their championships up high.
The APEX Next Level Champion and The Infinite Pro World Champion.
The feed, then, slowly fades to black.
ADRENALINE X: HOUSE OF HORROR.
LIVE! from International Convention Centre in Newport, Wales.
Sunday, October 23rd, 2022.
7:00 P.M. (GMT) – On BT Sport 1.
“Your mind's in disturbia
It's like the darkness is the light
Disturbia
Am I scaring you tonight?
Your mind is in disturbia
Ain't used to what you like
Disturbia
Disturbia”
The sounds of “Disturbia” by Rihanna begin to play as the feed comes to life and pyro erupts along the stage, all of the LCD boards light up with the Adrenaline graphics and as the pyro ends? We’re given a panoramic shot of the entirety of the International Convention Centre in Newport, Wales. The arena is SOLD OUT at a maximum capacity of over ten thousand fans packed inside, on their feet, and chanting.
“I–P–DUB!”
“I–P–DUB!”
“I–P–DUB!”
“I–P–DUB!”
As the music continues to play along, the camera feed pans down towards where the commentary table resides at the ringside area, where we’re met with the ever present team of Chloe Hartwell and Luis De Leon. A wave from De Leon and a smile from Hartwell before they begin to speak.
LUIS DE LEÓN
“IT’S THE HALLOWEEN SEASON! WELCOME TO INFINITE PRO AND WELCOME TO THE HOUSE OF HORRORS!”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“As if you couldn’t tell already, we’re here LIVE in the International Convention Centre and it’s about time we come to you all with a massive Adrenaline special episode for the seasonal holiday—and we’re promising that this has more twists, turns, and better storytelling than Halloween Ends could’ve ever provided for us all.”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“Still upset about it, aren’t you?”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Absolutely, and for good reason, because it was horrible and it’s a disgrace to the franchise—”
De Leon just nods their head and then cuts Hartwell off before she could finish.
LUIS DE LEÓN
“ANYWAYYYY—with that out of the way, we’ve got a huge show for all of you here tonight with two tag team matches and three championship matches! The owner and the commissioner have both put themselves out there to be sure that this is a pay-per-view level show to enjoy!”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Let’s talk about our championship matches, aye? The first of them all going to the APEX Next Level Championship—a title that was granted the permission by Matt Miles to have it be defended here tonight, and both JUDITH and C will fight for the title! After their little showdown two weeks ago, I can just imagine what they’re about to bring in the middle of the ring here tonight! The in-ring return of JUDITH and the in-ring debut of C!”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“And then we’re given the gift that keeps on giving, another showdown with Cross Recoba and Alastor Touchdown for the Infinite Pro National Openweight Championship—but this time, there’s only one other man in the match, TJ Alexander. Recoba gained entry into this match after sweeping the floor with Aubrey Mack and Alexander gained entry by narrowly avoiding Riskel Konstantine, but can they keep up the fight with Touchdown? Time’s going to tell.”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Finally, our main event. Hanzo Aguilar and Tommy Hate both went through the ringer to get to this point and they went through challenging combatants but MYOJIN is promising that the new era will continue under his name, no matter what. This is a must-see main event for the Infinite Pro World Championship!”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“Though, I think we’ve spent too much time– I hear the rookies are pushing to get things started right now!”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“That they are, so let’s begin!”
OPENER — TAG TEAM MATCH
ROXIE GEARHEART and BIANCA vs GUNNER and FLUX
DING! DING!
It is FLUX and ROXIE GEARHEART starting the match off. The two of them circle each other and then immediately LOCK UP. Flux transitions into a SIDE HEADLOCK but Roxie SHOOTS HER INTO THE ROPES and hits the canvas as Flux rebounds and hurdles over Roxie, as Flux rebounds again, Roxie leapfrogs over her and she hits the ropes again, this time ss Flux makes it to be middle of the ring, Roxie jumps and goes for a TORNADO DDT but Flux pushes her off. This time it’s Roxie who bounces off the ropes, and Flux jumps for a HURRICANRANA but Roxie catches it and is going to try for a POWERBOMB but Flux rotates, and flips, rolling Roxie into a pinning attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Roxie and Flux both quickly get to their feet and Flux walks in and grabs Roxie into a warm embrace.
ALIEN ATTACK
(A simple, friendly hug)
Shocked Roxie pushes Flux off of her and throws an elbow but Flux ducks under it and tags in GUNNER. Roxie shakes her head as she backs to her corner, tagging in BIANCA. Bianca charges in and ducks under CLOTHESLINE ATTEMPT and hits a picture perfect GERMAN SUPLEX on Gunner. She goes for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Bianca picks Gunner up to stay on the attack and whips him into an unoccupied corner. Looking for a quick strike, Bianca runs in.
CAME IN CRASHING
(Spear)
NO!
Gunner is able to move out of the way just before the spear in the corner. Bianca came in crashing alright, her shoulder right to the middle turnbuckles. She staggers out of the corner, holding her shoulder and turns right into a SCOOP POWERSLAM and Gunner goes for the pin.
ONE!
TWO!
TH-KICkOUT!
Gunner picks Bianca up and hits a SNAP SUPLEX. Another pinfall and another kickout on two. This time he stands her up into the corner and throws a KNIFE EDGE CHOP and before the crowd can even WOO, he hits a BACK ELBOW and another CHOP and a BACK KICK that drops Bianca in the corner. Gunner takes Bianca’s legs and drags her into a lying position in the corner. He backs up and runs in, using his hands to lift himself up in the corner and smashing down onto Bianca’s chest with a SEATED SENTON. He stays seated as the ref counts.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-NO! KICKOUT!
A bit frustrated that the senton didn’t put away the match, Gunner argues with the ref who assures him Bianca got the shoulder up just in time. As he argues, Bianca crawls behind Gunner and rolls him up for the pin, but the surprise pinfall doesn’t fool Gunner who rolls out of it, springs up to his feet and immediately hits a BASEMENT DROPKICK on Bianca. Instead of going for another pinfall, Gunner is hell bent on making sure this match is put away. He picks Bianca up and feins whipping her into the ropes, holds onto her arm and pulls her back towards him.
FORCE OF REALITY
(Ripcord Knee Strike)
The knee connects to Bianca’s head with a sickening thud and she drops. Gunner is back to his feet and climbs out to the apron and up to the top turnbuckle. Flux is cheering him on as Roxie desperately pleads for Bianca, trying to get her back into this. Gunner stands upright on the very top, balancing a moment and playing to the crowd. He leaps. He twists. It’s a thing of beauty.
LEAP OF FAITH
(Spiral Tap)
BIANCA GETS HER KNEES UP!!
In absolute desperation or possibly reflex Bianca is able to get her knees up just as Gunner crashes down on her. She is clearly in pain but Gunner is also writhing in pain and holding his ribs. Roxie begins stomping her feet and clapping her hands. Meanwhile, Gunner crawls towards his corner as Bianca slowly starts to inch towards hers. Gunner makes the tag and in comes Flux. Just before she is able to make it to Bianca, Bianca in a last ditch effort jumps and her fingertips connect with Roxie’s. The fans pop. Flux tries to backpedal a bit but Roxie takes the hot tag as Bianca rolls out of the ring and immediately springboards onto the top rope and lands a stiff MISSILE DROPKICK to Flux. Roxie kips up and runs the ropes and jumps, flipping backwards into a beautiful SHOOTING STAR PRESS and pinning attempt.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Roxie gets back to her feet. As she walks a little too close to Gunner and Flux’s corner, Gunner reaches out and grabs a handful of Roxie’s hair. She turns her attention to Gunner and in that moment, Flux wraps her arms around Roxie’s waist as if to go for a German suplex. She lifts, but Roxie is able to block it. She tries to lift again and this time Roxie uses the momentum to jump up and land a SIDE HEAD KICK to Gunner in the corner, sending him crashing to the floor below. Flux isn’t able to hold on, and as Roxie lands on her feet she immediately drops back and hits a FALLING BICYCLE KICK to Flux’s head, dropping her to a knee, rattled. Roxie pulls herself up on the ropes, and sees Gunner outcold outside the ring, and Flux on kneeled over towards the middle of the ring. She smiles and motions to the crowd as she stalks over to Flux.
SILHOUETTE BLADE
(High impact swinging back elbow)
The crushing blow to the back of Flux’s head lays her out cold. Roxie drops down for the cover.

Spike rolls to his feet, grabbing Joe by his short hair, but Joe springs to life and sends a stiff uppercut to the jaw of Spike Kane that staggers him, Joe presses his advantage with another few blows, he then hits the ropes and leaps through the air taking Spike down with a diving forearm and rolling into a flip right back to his feet, just as Spike rolls back to his. Joe hits the ropes again, but this time Spike catches him, he pops him up!
BLOOD GOD’S WRATH!!!
(Pop-up Powerbomb)
Spike walks back over to the corner and tags in Pierce, who nods before climbing over the ropes. Pierce begins to pace the ring as he waits for Joe Nobody to get back to his feet. Joe struggles, but wobbles as he makes it to one knee, before the crowd cheer him on to rise back to his feet, almost as if he was single-handedly taking on the team of Nate Pierce and Spike Kane. With a burst of effort, Joe rises to his feet, only for Pierce to slam his foot right into his face with a huge big boot! Now it is Nate’s turn to trot over to his corner and tag in Spike Kane.
Spike slowly approaches Joe, who is trying to stagger to his corner to tag in his partner, but Hun doesn’t seem to be there!? He turns around just as Spike lines up his shot and BAM! Spike connects with the BLOODY SUNDAY (Black Mass) and Joe Nobody drops like a sack of potatoes. Spike looks around for Xoltol Hun, but cannot see her, Pierce shrugs also as he doesn’t know where she went. After the two exchange a quick shrug, Spike slowly goes for the pinfall.
One!
Two!
Three-NO!!!
Xoltol Hun pops up out of nowhere, having hid from the tag from Joe Nobody and cleverly places Joe’s foot on the ropes! She leans and tags herself in to save the fall. Spike spots her and goes to run after her, but she sprints around the ring before sliding in around the corner. Spike is following her, but is met by a baseball slide from Joe Nobody. Xoltol Hun approaches Nate while the referee is distracted and attempts to kick him square in the nuts! But Pierce side steps before he grabs Hun by the throat!
DEEP SEA PLUNGE FROM THE APRON INTO THE RING!
(Chokebomb)
Behind, Nobody was clubbing away at Spike, but Kane head buts Joe which throws him off balance before he nails him with a kick to the mid-section, and follows up.
THUNDERSTRUCK!!!!
Nobody bounces out of the ring, as Spike looks down at Hun, then up at Pierce who shrugs. Spike puts his foot on the throat of Hun as the referee calls the fall.
One!
Two!!
Three!!!
The referee calls for the bell as Nate Pierce enters the ring to celebrate with Spike. The two nod heads at each other and each raise their arms. Pierce turns and extends his hand to Spike, and for a moment Kane hesitates as he looks up at the bigger man, before he again nods his head and takes the hand of Nate Pierce, shaking it, before raising both their arms into the air to celebrate the victory.
We cut to the outside of the International Convention Centre, where we are met with the visual of a crackling within a steel drum that radiates some of the cold night a faint orange glow. Sitting on the floor beside it, hunched over with his arms hanging over his knees, former #1 contender for the IPW World Championship, Hank Haggard Jr, now dawning an eyepatch over his right eye. In the background, Clancy Haggard was pacing impatiently, occasionally stopping to toss a stick towards the barrel. Jack Haggard was leaning against the Centre wall, lit cigarette burning as it hangs from his lips with his hands buried deep in his pockets.
JACK HAGGARD
“Man, ain’t this just some bullshit? First, we’re told our contracts with IPW are “under review,” whatever that means, then we’re asked to come to Wales but told at the door we ain’t allowed in the buildin’. If bossman want’s ta fire us, why don’t he just do it over the phone and save us the trip?”
CLANCY HAGGARD
“HE’S JUST MESSING WITH US. HE WANNA FIRE YA TO YA FACES! I SAY WE GO IN THERE AND BUST A FEW BEFORE HE GET THE CHANCE!”
JACK HAGGARD
“Cool ya jets, Butchy. Let’s see how this plays out first. Then we’ll decide where ta go from there.”
HANK HAGGARD JR
*Annoyed muffled yelling*
JACK HAGGARD
“Boy, you’re the last person that should be lookin’ for trouble right now so you outta hush your damn self.”
??
“I assume you’re going to put that fire out humanely after we’re done here.”
As if on cue, Jason Long steps out from the venue side entrance, approaching the Haggard brothers with a bag beneath his arm. Hank stands up in a rush, but a hand is put on his chest by Jack.
JACK HAGGARD
“Speak of the devil, he shall appear. Ya got a lotta nerve to call us out here and then have security keep us outside like that, Bossman. Or are we here to not call you that no more?”
JASON LONG
“Mere safety precautions. You guys aren’t exactly known for keeping professional composure. But to answer your question; no. Your contracts were under review, but I called you here for two reasons and the first was to confirm that you’re reinstated.”
JACK HAGGARD
“Oh, is that right?”
JASON LONG
“Don’t look the gift horse in the mouth. Controversy is great business. Safe to say, there aren’t many people creating controversy like the lot of you. It gets people talking. But don’t for one second believe I am going to reward your actions. If I didn’t want more eyes on IPW, I wouldn’t hesitate to get my own back for putting your hands on me at Night of Champions XIII.”
JACK HAGGARD
“So you’re trying to leash us now, is that it? Keep us on the payroll, give us a slap on the wrist, tell us not to do it again? I got news for ya, man; Y’aint seen nothin’ yet from us. We been takin’ it easy. We gon’ paint this place red!”
JASON LONG
“And you’ll face consequences accordingly. I’m not wasting my time debating with you three how to conduct yourselves. The first order of business was to inform you you’re still under contract. The second goes against my better judgment. Hank got his prize for the tag team gauntlet match all the way back at First Contact. Now, unfortunately, I have to give you yours, Jack.”
JACK HAGGARD
“Bout damn time! My turn to get a crack at Myojin and that IPW World Championship?”
JASON LONG
“No. With how you lot approached the last title match, the last thing I’ll be doing is rewarding those actions.”
HANK HAGGARD JR
*Yells muffled profanities directed at Jason Long.*
JASON LONG
“I don’t… what are you saying?”
JACK HAGGARD
“Pay him no mind. His jaw is all wired shut. Shattered jaw and orbital bones from the Stomp Myojin gave him.”
JASON LONG
“Well, that will complicate things a little. Nonetheless, we’ve finally decided to make good on the prize you were after since First Contact. Pains me as it does to say this, I am here to award you with the Infinite Pro World Tag Team Championships.”
Jason pulls two championship belts from the bag beneath his arm, presenting them to Jack who picks one of them up into his hands, letting out a sharp whistle.
JACK HAGGARD
“My oh my, ain’t she beautiful!?”
Hank reaches for the other championship belt, but Jason pulls it back.
JASON LONG
“Given the information I’ve just been given, I’m afraid I can’t award you the championship, Hank.”
HANK HAGGARD JR
*Confused and angry muffled yelling.”
JACK HAGGARD
“Hold on now, you just said that we are the tag team champions. We deserve these, you can’t award the title to just me and not him.”
JASON LONG
“If his jaw is shattered and his orbital bone is fractured, he’s not in any condition to compete. We can’t sanction him as champion.”
JACK HAGGARD
“But this was our prize!”
JASON LONG
“No, this is YOUR prize, Jack. Until Hank recovers completely and gets cleared by our doctors, I could just take the championships away for being unable to defend them. BUT, I’m willing to let you keep them as long as Clancy can substitute for him.”
CLANCY HAGGARD
“HUUUH?!”
JACK HAGGARD
“Clancy hasn’t even had a match yet, and you want him to substitute in for Hank?!”
JASON LONG
“Those are your only options. Your call.”
CLANCY HAGGARD
“I’M GON BE JUST LIKE ACE! GIMME!”
Clancy snatches the championship from Jason, looking deeply at it.
JACK HAGGARD
“Shiiiit… Well, guess we don’t got much in terms of choices.”
JASON LONG
“No, you don’t. But since you’ve now officially become the Infinite Pro World Tag Team Champions; I will inform you that you’ll be defending them at the next pay-per-view in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.”
JACK HAGGARD
“Against who?”
JASON LONG
“All in due time. Take the moment to go an celebrate. I don’t care where, just not here.”
Jason turns on his heel and leaves, leaving the three Haggard boys staring at the championships in their hands.
CLANCY HAGGARD
“CAN Y’ALL BELIEVE I’M A CHAMPION ALREADY? BEFORE MY FIRST MATCH TOO!”
HANK HAGGARD JR
*Swipes at the title angrily yelling behind his wired jaw.*
JACK HAGGARD
“Y’all better cut that out and get to behavin’! We are in the thick of it now, boys. Dead End Express is back on the rails!”
UPPER MIDCARD
APEX WRESTLING NEXT LEVEL CHAMPIONSHIP
JUDITH ©️ vs C
DING! DING!
The opening bell rang and there isn't any time for the two competitors to size each other up -- JUDITH is stalking right toward C! Malicious intent is written all along her face with a sick smirk growing ever more clear. C is taken aback by the sudden approach, but once the champion gets close enough, he shoots down low, aiming to take her down by capturing her legs. JUDITH is on the mat, but she isn't worried in the slightest. C mounts her, looking for an armbar of sorts, but the Boogeyman uses her strength to push him off of her. C scrambles to his feet. JUDITH pops back up. C goes for another takedown, but his plans are instantly thwarted by a sickening HEADBUTT from JUDITH! C stumbles, and that gives the champion a chance to pick him up for a POWERBOMB! Right out the gate, she's looking to do some serious damage as her eyes are set on one of the corners of the ring. JUDITH gets a running start, ready to launch C into the turnbuckle! However, C reverses with a HURRICANRANA, sending her into the corner! JUDITH goes shoulder fist, and while trapped, C comes from behind and rolls her up!
ONE— KICKOUT!
JUDITH powers out! The momentary advantage allows C to go for an ARMBAR. JUDITH is resisting! C looks to go and capture the other arm, but the champion decks him with a PUNCH! Then another! C is stunned — and this allows JUDITH to get up while using her arm to hold him up! The fans in attendance gasp! She has him in the air, and what goes up must always come down as she sends him into the canvas with the IMPROVISED ONE-HANDED POWERBOMB! C lets go from the impact, favoring his back. JUDITH checks her arm, but with no tangible damage done thus far, she realizes she's good to go to inflict more punishment onto the Purifier!
Getting up, JUDITH overwhelms C with a FLURRY OF STOMPS, PUNCHES AND HAMMERFISTS! Once she's satisfied beating him down, she takes a hold of his wrist and begins to manipulate the joint, causing C to groan out in pain! She applies AS MUCH PRESSURE AS POSSIBLE onto the wrist while going at the fingers. C goes to reach for the ropes, but JUDITH presses her knee onto the stretching arm, trapping it!
CHLOE HARTWELL
“This is looking really bad for C already. JUDITH can do some serious damage here if he isn't able to get out of this!”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“No kidding. Ouch. JUDITH is as tactical as she is brutal, and that's why she's been a fearsome competitor not only here in Infinite Pro, but elsewhere! There's no one quite like her!”
The situation looks grim for a while, but somehow, someway, C was able to find a way out! He KICKS at JUDITH multiple times on the top of the head, and eventually, she releases! JUDITH staggers back, holding onto the top of her head while C scurries up. The challenger runs in and hits a KNEE STRIKE! JUDITH stumbles back into the corner! C finds a new burst of life and runs in— but as he gets close, JUDITH traps him and sends him crashing into the turnbuckles with a FRONT SUPLEX! JUDITH covers!
ONE!
TW— KICKOUT!
C is holding onto his lower back. However, he doesn't get any chance for reprieve as JUDITH forces him back onto his feet. She spins and strikes!
BUTCHER'S BLADE!!
(Spinning Back Elbow Strike to the throat)
C falls back into the corner, gasping for air as he clutches his throat! JUDITH gets closer and strikes him with some WELL-PLACED, METHODICAL PUNCHES all throughout his midsection. C is hurting, and this allows JUDITH to sit him on the top turnbuckle. She scales up, and C does his best to fight back by punching her over the head! A few blows land, but JUDITH retaliates with a BACK ELBOW! Another HEADBUTT seals the deal, making C slump! JUDITH stands, grabs him, and lifts him up!
FEAR STREET 78!!
(Superplex from the top turnbuckle)
C lays on the mat as JUDITH floats over, getting the cover!
ONE!
TWO— KICKOUT!!
JUDITH doesn't look annoyed. In fact, she's smiling! She does a nod, as if to say 'okay' before she rises, looking down at C who's still struggling to stand. She drags him to his feet and pushes him into the ropes. On the rebound, she CLOBBERS HIM WITH AN UPPERCUT! The impact makes C stumble into the ropes, and on the rebound, JUDITH takes him out with a LARIAT, TURNING HIM INSIDE OUT! The champion looks to be firmly in the driver's seat as she takes a few steps back and gets a running start. She jumps into the air and comes CRASHING DOWN WITH A SENTON! She pops up and gets C up, getting him close.
FAREWELL II FLESH
(Knee Lifts + Snapmare followed by a Basement Dropkick)
BUT NO!!
Just as JUDITH was about to hit C with the dropkick, he ROLLS OUT of the way at the last possible last second! JUDITH gets on her knees, ready to come back up before C runs and hits the PENALTY KICK! The force of the kick was so hard that he stumbles into the ropes, having to hold on to the top rope to stop his momentum! The sickening shot is heard throughout the arena, inspiring 'oohs' and cheers from the fans. JUDITH stands, but C is right there to catch her with the RUNNING FRONT DROPKICK! JUDITH tumbles through the ropes and drops to the outside! She lands on her feet, hand on her face. C exits and gets on the apron, waiting as JUDITH's back is towards him. She turns, and he comes running in, going for another kick! No! JUDITH CATCHES THE ATTACKING LEG! She pushes it back, causing C to drop face-first onto the apron! JUDITH picks him up in a fallaway position and walks around before turning her back towards the barricade.
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Oh, no...”
LUIS DE LEÓN
“Oh no, indeed. JUDITH has C trapped!”
JUDITH throws C overhead, CRASHING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE WITH THE FALLAWAY SLAM! C yells out in pain! The fans look on in shock while a sick grin spreads across the champion's face! With the momentum back on her side, she rolls C back into the ring before stalking him. She waits as C is slow to stand up. Then, as soon as he gets to his feet…
EVIL WITHIN!
(Pumphandle Lift dropped into a Reverse STO)
C is laid out as JUDITH covers!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
NO!!! C GETS HIS SHOULDER UP! HE BREAKS THE COUNT AT THE LAST POSSIBLE SECOND!
The fans go crazy! JUDITH's eyes widen, but whatever shock she had goes away and a quiet frustration begins to brew within the Butcher. She gets up and drags C right along with her as she takes a hold of his hair. C whips him into the ropes! C comes back and JUDITH lifts him up!
MURDER AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR!!
(Pop-up Powerbomb)
BUT NO!!
C CATCHES HER WITH THE GUILLOTINE CHOKE! He has her trapped! JUDITH is struggling! She sends a punch into the side of C but he's still hanging on! JUDITH walks towards the ropes, reaching out! However, C grabs a hold of the arm and WRENCHES AT THE WRIST, almost mirroring what the champion was doing with him! JUDITH grits her teeth! She turns and goes to run into the corner! C's back collides once more in the corner and he is forced to relinquish the hold. JUDITH backs up and charges in. C DUCKS! He gets out of the way! JUDITH backs up after going chest-fist, and from behind, C grabs her and spins her around, grabbing the arm!
A NEW BEGINNING!
(Double Knee Armbreaker)
CHLOE HARTWELL
“And C could very well end things right here and right now! We could see him make JUDITH tap!”
LUIS DE LEÓN
"Imagine if he was able to do that! That would be insane!”
But that seemed to be the name of the game. As JUDITH goes down, C maintains a hold on the arm and flips over into a bridging position!
LOTUS FLOWER!
(Bridging Fujiwara Armbar)
CHLOE HARTWELL
“And this is the most vulnerable we've seen JUDITH in this match! C is holding on, not letting go of that arm!”
JUDITH looks to claw her way to the ropes! C lets go and drops an elbow on the arm before taking JUDITH back to the center of the ring. He goes to get the arm bar locked in again, but JUDITH punches him in the face! C lets go! JUDITH rises, and runs straight at the challenger!
NEWFOUND PEACE!
(Air Raid Bomb)
C uses JUDITH's momentum against her to pop her up and hit the move on her! The fans go crazy! C holds on to his back before he drops down and pins her.
ONE!!
TWO!!
THRE— KICKOUT!
The fans in attendance let out a collective sigh. Some of disappointment, others in shock! C himself looks lost but tries to gather his thoughts, not wanting his emotions to take over. He drags JUDITH up, and tries to lift her, but at that point the adrenaline was wearing off and C drops to his knee. His hand goes to his back. JUDITH is able to pinpoint this and delivers the POINT OF HER ELBOW onto it! C flinches, but he fights back with an ELBOW TO THE GUT! JUDITH groans, but she hits him with an OVERHEAD PUNCH! C stands and delivers a FOREARM SMASH to her face! The two go BACK AND FORTH, CHAMPION AND CHALLENGER, THE SHAPE OF HATE AGAINST THE NEW HOPE! The fans come alive for the duel! Eventually, JUDITH gets one-up on C and KICKS HIM IN THE GUT! She follows up with a HELLACIOUS BIG BOOT that takes him off of his feet entirely!
C is down and JUDITH looks at the top of the turnbuckle. Slowly, she makes her way up. She's perched on top while C struggles to stand up! He gets to his feet, albeit wobbly. JUDITH rises to her feet, and as C turns around, he's in her line of sight!
EVIL FLYS TONIGHT!!
(Missile Dropkick from the top rope)
BUT NO!!
C runs and hits the YAKUZA KICK! JUDITH goes down, sitting on the top turnbuckle! C gathers his breath before scaling up. He PUNCHES JUDITH! However, she's able to shake off her daze and PUNCH HIM BACK! The two go at each other, waring with punches and strikes on top! JUDITH tries to go for a HEADBUTT, but C is one step-ahead and decks her with the same attack she had in mind! Both nearly fall! C is able to hold on to the ropes and steadies himself while JUDITH is loopy! C takes her onto his shoulders…
CHLOE HARTWELL
“Oh my gosh...”
LUIS DE LEÓN
"No way...”
C leaps off of the top, and he takes JUDITH right down onto the canvas!
PRAY!
(Cross-legged Samoan Driver)
HOLY SHIT!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!
HOLY SHIT!!!
JUDITH is sprawled out on the ring mat while C makes a crawl towards her! Once he's close, he slings his arm over her! The referee goes in as C pin hers!
ONE!!!
...
TWO!!!
...
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
The referee calls for the bell as “So Real” plays throughout the arena. The fans have come unglued! C rolls over, staring up at the ceiling.
CASEY KINCAID
“Here is the winner of ths match, by pinfall… and THE NEEWWWWWWW APEX Next Level Champion.... C!!!!!”
CHLOE HARTWELL
“I... wow! Just, wow! I mean, what is there to say? He was able to do it! Just when we thought JUDITH would put him away, C was able to pull through and beat her!"
LUIS DE LEÓN
"This is a monumental win for C here tonight. Both wrestlers gave it their all to give this title one last defense it deserved, and tonight, C gets to take home a part of APEX Wrestling with him. All the while, it'll be interesting to see what this young man has in store for everyone here in Infinite Pro!”
C is finally able to stand, and the referee hands him the Next Level Championship. C looks at it, almost at a lost while the fans cheer him on. C raises it, in pain yet proud all the same.
HEADLINER
INFINITE PRO NATIONAL OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP — TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
CROSS RECOBA vs ALASTOR TOUCHDOWN ©️ vs TJ ALEXANDER
The contest begins with all three competitors circling the ring before the champ immediately leaves, smirking and telling his two opponents to go at it while he watches. Instead, TJ and Cross also leave the ring, surrounding Alastor and jumping him down with a two-on-one assault, laying into him with punches and kicks. The champion’s cocky attitude costs him as he’s soon sent crash into the barricade by both foes. With Touchdown out, both TJ and Cross returned to the ring. Both competitors charge at one another but Alexander is able to duck a lariat attempt and immediately attempts a Crash Landing, Cross counters and immediately pulls him in for an O'Connor roll which barely gets one count.
Both competitors back onto their feet as TJ swings for a roundhouse but Cross ducks and tries for a leg sweep which TJ is able to react to quickly with a leap and flying right into Cross’ chest with a foot stomp. Going right for a pin.

TW—
Cross with a kick out as TJ immediately gets his foe up and connects with an elbow to the rib cage, near the area that his feet crashed into just moments ago. TJ now gets Cross up and immediately sends him into a nearby corner with an Irish whip but his follow-up is unsuccessful as Cross is able to get out of the corner and connects with a chop right to the chest of TJ. This time it’s Cross who sends his foe right to the opposite corner with an Irish Whip but TJ’s incredible quickness comes into play as he uses the turnbuckles to get some height and backflips over his foe. Alexander immediately goes for a waist lock but immediately he eats a back elbow from his foe that sends him reeling back groggy right into the arms of ALASTOR TOUCHDOWN who makes his return into the match by connecting a Snap German Suplex to TJ. The impact on his neck has The Aerial Assassin rolling out of the ring in pain, Recoba’s eyes are now firmly on Touchdown but the champion seems to be telling him to slow down. Almost like Alastor is looking for an alliance of sorts to remove TJ from the equation early which Recoba seems to be okay with as both competitors get Alexander up and immediately Recoba lights up Alexander with one more chop, while TJ winces in pain, Touchdown from behind connects with one of his own to the back of Touchdown.
TJ is attacked once again with a series of stiff chops from both of his foes as the match has slowly turned into a two-on-one mugging against Alexander. He is soon sent off the ring by both of his opponents. With the match once again a one-on-one, immediately Alastor tries to sneak a win as he rolls up Cros from behind
ONE!
TW—
A two-count and kick out from Cross who upon getting up, immediately swings for Alastor but Touchdown is able to duck and connect with a slap to the face of Cross. The challenger’s eyes light up with anger as Touchdown goes for one more but the attempt is blocked by Cross who slips behind and tries go for a backdrop but Touchdown easily flips out of the attempt and pushes his foe to the ropes right into a STEP UP ENZUIGIRI FROM TJ ALEXANDER! The Aerial Assassin is back in this match as he slingshots him with a Springboard Forearm that takes out Cross Recoba. As TJ connects with a big move, immediately Alastor tries to sneak from behind with a deadlift German, trying to spike TJ on his neck once again but this time TJ FLIPS OUT OF IT AND LANDS ON HIS FEET!

DING! DING! DING!
For the second time tonight, “Gratitude” by The Beastie Boys plays out through the speakers and Alastor Touchdown has retained his Infinite Pro National Openweight Championship by pinning arch-rival for the championship, Cross Recoba. The crowd are booing loudly as Touchdown shouts profanities towards the Welsh crowd, now being joined by Tuna Meltzer, and they both celebrate inside of the ring. But then the lights inside of the centre go dark for a moment and then come back on, with Meltzer and Touchdown still standing where they were before, but there’s one extra body with them.
The Boogeyman, JUDITH.
Touchdown turned their head around to find JUDITH standing behind him and darted out of the ring, leaving Tuna Meltzer in the clutches of JUDITH as she grabbed him by the throat and looked toward the National Openweight Champion. A snarling look from JUDITH appears before she pushes Tuna Meltzer into the ropes and makes him rebound right into her!
POP UP POWERBOMB!
MURDER AT THE MIDNIGHT HOUR!
Tuna Meltzer is completely folded up by The Shape of Hate as she kicks him out of the ring and right down at the feet of Alastor Touchdown, who’s holding his championship up high and telling the newest challenger that the title will stay with him for as long as it takes. JUDITH smiles, sinisterly, as she points towards the National Openweight Championship and keeps her eyes onto Touchdown as the camera fades away from the two.
PRESENTS
TAP OUT WRESTLING 8
JASON LONG VS JACK DIAMOND
Long started his tenure in Tap Out with an unexpected loss at Tap Out Wrestling 1 to Close Collins but since then he has run through opponents without a thought to the blip on his record. Displaying a more clinical approach over the course of his streak, we've seen him run through Jackalope, put Danni Anderson away with a potential spot of the year and then eliminate both Isabella von Krauss and more shockingly, NOMAD by DQ. With each match presenting its own challenges, he'll surely be relishing facing off against an opponent which he has studied up close.
Diamond now has the only undefeated streak in the company, standing at 4-0 at the time of writing. Having taken down Adrien Cochrane, besting Close Collins twice and at Tap Out Wrestling 7, somehow pulling something out the bag to take down Poena. Where some critics might point to as a potential banana skin is that Poena didn't leave him unharmed, working his arm over and at one point using the exposed turnbuckle to deliver a Top Rope Shoulder breaker. A month off would help heal the damage but Jack doesn't have that luxury, the End of Days tournament could see him competing every week in October giving him precious time to rehab, let alone prepare a camp for the match
When that bell rings, both men will want to best the other - though they may be Icons, they're both incredibly competitive and with the winner getting a month off to prepare for the final, neither will want to risk putting more matches on the clock to try and get back out from the Losers' bracket. Will it be the striking prowess of Long or the technical game of Diamond that prevails? We can't wait for this match to come around and deliver a potential Tap Out Match of the Year!
MAIN EVENT
INFINITE PRO WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP — TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
TOMMY HATE vs MYOJIN ©️ vs HANZO AGULIAR
DING! DING!
The bell had rang and all three of the combatants stared towards one another, awaiting the first move of whoever was going to throw the first punch. MYŌJIN, HANZO AGUILAR and TOMMY HATE. They all looked at one another and they all just waited. Hate began to mouth away at the champion but he didn’t notice out of the corner of his eye was Aguilar rushing in from the side and landing a PUMP KICK on the side of the head of the distracted Black Knight as he fell through the ropes and out of the ring. However, that left things open for The Shining Star to leap in and take the offence to Aguilar with the HARAI GOSHI and now keeping The Eagle down and grounded with a HEAD LOCK. Tommy Hate soon entered the ring once again and he began to land STOMPS DOWN ONTO MYŌJIN! The Blackguard dragged MYŌJIN away from Hanzo and into the corner, landing a series of STREET FIGHTING PUNCHES right to the head of the champion!
Hanzo, from behind, clocks Hate with a STIFFENED FOREARM TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD that almost crumbles right on top of MYŌJIN. Aguilar grabbed onto Hate and dragged him into the middle of the ring, pushing him into the upright stance and going for the OPEN EYES but Hate ducked the kick and turned right around to land the HAIL MARY but Hanzo ducked the knockout punch! Aguilar lands the PUMP KICK and then lands a ROLLING ELBOW right onto the jaw of Hate, but he shakes it off and connects with a BODY SHOT TO THE LIVER before landing the CLINCH KNEE STRIKES TO THE HEAD as it drops Aguilar to the mat, down to one knee and seemingly rocked heavy. Hanzo looks up to Hate and then pushes him away, giving Aguilar the chance to leap back into the fight and jump up to connect a JUMPING KNEE to the jaw of Hate! The Enmity is rocked and falls back into the ropes!
DECAPITATING HIGH-IMPACT PENDULUM LARIAT!

The Eagle gets turned inside out from the impact of Hate’s Lariat, almost being dropped on the side of his head and now Hate feels himself getting more charged up to continue on fighting, but he’s greeted with MYŌJIN coming back into the fight with a STOMP TO THE FOOT and then a KNEE LIFT RIGHT TO THE BRIDGE OF THE NOSE before ended the series of strikes with the SPACE TORNADO MYŌJIN! Hate is dropped onto his own arm after the Hammerlock STO and that’s what MYOJIN goes right after as they watch Hate get to all fours before running in and landed a targeted SOCCER KICK TO THE ARM, now keeping the arm down under their foot and STOMPING DOWN ONTO THE TARGETED RIGHT ARM OF HATE! MYOJIN has a huge fire within their eyes as he uses their legs to twist the arm in a ARM TWIST and continuing to torture Hate for those closed-hand punches he landed earlier.
However, Aguilar was looking to get right back into the action and attacked just before MYOJIN could continue with the arm torture of Tommy Hate, landing the BACKSTABBER right into the spine of the World Champion and now landing the CRUCIFIX ELBOWS right down onto the head of MYOJIN as they’re kept grounded by Hanzo Aguilar! The Ever So Heavenly was able to slip free from the elbows after having four or five connecting, springing right back to their feet and connecting the KAKATO OTOSHI just before Aguilar could get to his feet! The Axe Kick stunned Aguilar long enough for MYOJIN to shake off the series of elbows to the side of the head, falling back into the ropes and charging in towards the kneeling Aguilar for the KATHARSIS but Aguilar popped the champion up into the air as the foot hovered over the head! SIT OUT POWERBOMB from Hanzo Aguilar! Hanzo just planted the champion down with full force behind the Powerbomb but he’s not aware of who’s standing right behind him! Hate is back into the fight and shaking the arm! The Blackguard grabs Hanzo and drags him back to his feet!
HALF-NELSON SUPLEX!
MURDERPLEX!
Hate folded up Aguilar with the first of the many Muderplexes to come for The Eagle, rolling him over and slowly dragging him right back up onto his feet and hooking the arms into position for another Half Nelson Suplex.
MURDERPLEX—
STANDING SHIRANUI!
MOON HALO!
Aguilar found a way to counter the Murderplex in time but he wasn’t aware of what was about to come in the form of The Shining Star back up onto their feet again and back into the fight, rushing in from the rebound off of the ropes and in towards Aguilar!
RUNNING CURB STOMP!
KATHARSIS!
MYOJIN came out of nowhere with the stomp right down to the back of the head of Aguilar and now all three combatants are down and out! The crowd inside of the International Convention Centre are on their feet and jaw-dropped with the sequence of moves that they just witnessed! The sold out crowd are split into thirds for each combatant in the main event—a third chanting “HANZO”, a third chanting “HATE”, and a third chanting “MYOJIN”—and it’s the champion that’s back on their feet first! Hate is next up to their feet and both Hate and MYOJIN stare down one another, both heavily breathing and now both swinging for one another, Hate landing most of those STREET FIGHTING PUNCHES once again and taking the advantage over the World Champion as he rushes the ropes and rebounds but MYOJIN finds an opening with the LEAPING DOUBLE FOOT STOMP TO THE INCOMING HATE! MYOJIN goes back towards the arm that they targeted earlier in the match and this time locking in a SCISSORS LOCK, trapping the arm and bending it back to try and pop it out of place, leaving Hate screaming in pain and agony but after a while? He’s just laughing at the pain!
However, the hold is broken before MYOJIN could do more further damage to the limb of Hate as Aguilar pulls MYOJIN off of Hate and drags them into the middle of the ring, looking for the HOSHIKIRI but MYOJIN was able to turn it around before Hanzo can twist around and drop the elbow! The Shining Star is able to lift Hanzo up into a VERTICAL SUPLEX LIFT and keep him hovering up in the vertical stance for a moment before dropping him down, slingshotting off of the ropes, and springing him right back up into the vertical lift to land a SHOUTEN KAI! The Welsh crowd cannot believe what they’ve just seen! The impact of the Suplex Side Slam rolled Hanzo over and back onto his feet, clearly shaken up by what had just happened! MYOJIN lets out a loud roar before rushing in and going for the FROM OSAKA WITH LOVE I but Hanzo dropped to the mat and the foot of the World Champion just barely grazed him. Though, they weren’t the only ones standing at the moment!
RUNNING PUMP KICK TO THE OPPONENT SENDING THEM OVER THE ROPES!
ROCKET PROPELLED KICK!
The World Champion got sent over the ropes and down onto the floor below, now leaving Hate and Aguilar together in the ring, and Hate doesn’t waste any time putting the final nail in the coffin and giving himself the chance to become Infinite Pro World Champion!
DOUBLE UNDERHOOK BRAINBUSTER!
DEATH’S HEAD!
Hate planted Hanzo Aguilar down to the mat and floated over for the cover, pinning both shoulders down and making the cover legal as JACKSON MILLER started the count!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—
SPRINGBOARD DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!
MYOJIN found their way back into the match and found a way to make sure that Hate doesn’t walk out with the championship here tonight, but that might’ve been MYOJIN’s biggest mistake because now there’s a much angered Tommy Hate facing them down! Hate throws the CLOSED HAND FISTS towards The One of One, who narrowly avoids them as they back away a small bit, using their feet to kick away and now using the open chance to land the ROUNDHOUSE KICK which rocks Hate enough to drop him to one knee and then the SHOOT KICK, followed up with the SPINNING HEEL KICK and a BUZZSAW KICK before landing an AXE KICK and a final SUPERKICK!
STARDUST RUSH!
Hate drops to the mat and MYOJIN stands tall over The Blackguard, now seeking the opportunity to take the win and gain his second defence over both Hanzo and Tommy, as they begin to climb to the top rope and keep their back turned to Hate.
IMPLODING 450 SPLASH!
FALLING FROM HEAVEN!
The World Champion drops down onto Hate with the Splash and now they hook the legs of The Blackguard, but on the opposite side of the ring is Hanzo Aguilar slowly beginning to move! Jackson Miller makes the count!
ONE!
TWO!
THR—
Hanzo breaks the count in time just before the three count was made, and now it’s time for Hanzo to make the move, to finish the job and secure himself his first World Championship in the span of just three whole professional matches! Aguilar grabs MYOJIN by the head and throws them into the ropes, trying to throw them through the ropes but they counter with the 858– but Aguilar ducks the Hook Kick and pushes MYOJIN into the ropes once again, making them rebound and right back towards Hanzo—POP UP POWERBOMB, folding The Shining Star up! Aguilar grabs onto Hate and wants to make sure that both men are down and out, to secure his place at the top of the mountain, bringing The Black Knight back up to his feet but Hate has awoken! The arms are hooked and now the lift to DEATH’S HEAD– but Hanzo flips out of it and now stands behind Hate!
HOOK KICK!
OPEN EYES!
The kick lands and Hate falls forward towards the ropes but MYOJIN is back alive once again, throwing Hanzo Aguilar over the ropes, and not aware of Hate’s rebound off of the ropes and running towards MYOJIN, arm up straight and swinging it forward!
WORLD EATER—
MODIFIED LEG-TRAP SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB!
Hate got dropped almost onto his neck from the impact and MYOJIN is looking to make the cover, but Hanzo flips back into the ring and grabs onto MYOJIN, pulling them off of Hate and throwing them into the corner, now rushing in and landing the ROPE-AIDED GAMENGIRI to the head of the World Champion! MYOJIN steps out of the corner and they’re met with a kick from behind!
OPEN EYES!
And now, the setup is complete for Hanzo Aguilar to become the World Champion! The Eagle is about to soar as he grabs The Shining Star from behind, using the corner to flip over!
INVERTED SHIRANUI FLIPPED INTO A DDT!
LAST WINE!
NO! MYOJIN has a hold of Hanzo and is keeping him in the air—but Hate is back up to his feet! The Blackguard grabs Hanzo from behind and wants to do something completely insane! Hanzo, using all of his strength, is lifting MYOJIN up with a SUPLEX LIFT and Hate is hoisting up Hanzo with all of the weight of two men in his arms! GERMAN SUPLEX from Tommy Hate onto Hanzo Aguilar whilst he lands the SUPLEX onto MYOJIN! An unbelievable feat of strength done by Tommy Hate and now he lets out a loud roar to the crowd, grabbing Hanzo by the mask and now trying to rip the mask apart– trying to bring disgrace to the culture of professional wrestling but Hanzo fights free– and Hate grabs onto the mask again, pulling Hanzo back in and into the DEATH’S HEAD again! Aguilar fights free but Hate expects it, catching The Eagle again and now this time going for the MALADJUSTMENT! Hanzo lands on his feet and shoots to the head of Hate with the SUPERKICK and now follows up with the rebound and into the BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE but Hate ducked it and now spins around!
HIGH IMPACT DISCUS PUNCH!
HAIL MARY!
Both men drop to the mat and Hate is left on all fours, crawling towards Hanzo and looking for the cover! Looking to become the third-ever Infinite Pro World Champion!
KATHARSIS!
MYOJIN from out of nowhere and with the Running Curb Stomp down to the head of Tommy Hate! Now, bringing Hate back up to his feet, a last ditch effort to retain the championship! Using everything they’ve got in the tank to this one move!
ABDOMINAL STRETCH FLIPPED INTO A MODIFIED CRUCIFIX DRIVER!
THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU!
MYOJIN holds Hate down as Jackson Miller drops down to make the count!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
DING! DING! DING!
The compressed, 8-bit sounds of Silhouette by PASTEL GHOST reverbs throughout the arena once again as the crowd get onto their feet once again, a standing ovation for the reigning and defending Infinite Pro World Champion now beginning his celebration for the second defence as champion. All three of the main event’s combatants are still laid out on the ring mat after an absolute war between the three, after everything that they’ve put their souls into to hold the championship they fought for, but at the end of the night, the world belonged to MYOJIN as they finally found their footing and stood tall over both men.
The championship handed to them, now raised up high, and the era continues to shine bright like a star. However, the celebrations are soon cut short by the sounds of a very familiar tune playing through the speakers—now playing for the third time tonight.
The crowd cannot believe what they’re about to witness as the gentle strums of a guitar resonate through the arena again and “So Real” by Jeff Buckley plays. The spotlight shines down onto the stage and that’s when we’re greeted with the sight of the brand new APEX Next Level Champion, C! Their second time out here tonight and, by the looks of things, their intentions have become clear. The purification doesn’t stop there with the now-deceased APEX Wrestling, but with Infinite Pro Wrestling as well, and they want their shot at the Infinite Pro World Championship. C makes their way down to the ring and enters, standing in front of MYOJIN as the two lock eyes with one another, nodding their heads with one another. And, without even saying a word to one another, both raise their championships up high.
The APEX Next Level Champion and The Infinite Pro World Champion.
The feed, then, slowly fades to black.
