A small white box appears up in the top left corner, showing the television rating as ‘TV-MA’ with the letters ‘LSV’ underneath it.
The sounds of an alarm going off from the darkness echo, before ‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play over the black screen.
An image of the words ‘Elite 5’ start in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the words ‘Medal of Honor' starts in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the Warrior Rising Championship, side by side with the Ascension Championship, starts in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the X-Factor Championship, side by side with the Noble Championship, starts in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the Grand Championship, side by side with the Prime Championship, starts in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the Tag Team Championship Titles start in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
Then finally the Legacy Championship TItle slowly fades into view, directly in the middle of the screen. It quickly cuts to black.
Finally the words ‘THE EDGE’ appear on the screen, out of the darkness.
We’re leaving together,
But still it’s farewell.
We switch to a video of Pyro hitting Alex Kincaid with a ‘Lights Out’.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to a video of Kallie Reznik nailing Dagvald Riddik with Elysium.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Switch to a video of Contessa Floran tapping out to Aiden, as he holds her in the Four X Gold.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to a video of Shawn Warstein and James Raven standing over a fallen Vortex of the Storm Chasers
Switch to a video of Zane and MYOJIN hugging, Valentine lying on the mat.
Switch to a video of Lazarus Arjen with his arm over his opponent, neither of them moving.
It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!
The video slowly pans out before fading to black. We finally come back to see a live shot of a man behind a silver desk. Wearing a dark gray t-shirt with his brown hair slicked back, the words ‘THE EDGE’ are shown on a monitor behind him. The rest of the set he is on is a mixture between gray and silver. The music fades out.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: HELLO PROJECT: HONOR FANS!!! Are you excited yet? ARE YOU EXCITED FOR WHAT IS COMING? Let’s get this show going!!!
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the screen behind him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We usually begin the show, with a warm welcome to all the talent Rock Johnson signs. This show will be no different as Rock’s streak of signing talent continues...even signing someone that many Project: Honor fans already know AND love...good ol’ Kasey Winterborn!
The camera focuses on the monitor behind James, where we see headshots of all the new roster members.
The view pans back out to show James still sitting in his chair, right next to the monitor, looking at it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Rock just keeps bringing in the talent. And now with TWO brands to hand them to, Rock can keep bringing it!
The pictures fade out from the screen as James turns back around completely.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Let’s head to the new little segment, highlighting the tweets of some of our favorite Project: Honor athletes.
A tweet from newcomer Kimberly Chase appears on the monitor.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Kimberly Chase is making her Project: Honor debut here in a couple weeks, but she is showing her love for material things is high above all.
The tweet fades out to a tweet from Elena DeDraca
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Elena out there telling the world like it is!
Elena’s tweet slowly fades to another tweet, this one from Shawn Warstein
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn out on twitter saying what we were all thinking when it came to the Project: Honor Tag Team Tournament.
Warstein’s post cuts out, to reveal another tweet. This one is from newcomer Matt Knox
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Matt Knox doing nothing more than posted a gif, but it seems to be one our resident Pyro quite enjoys.
The pretty kitty fades away to the final tweet of the night. It is from Cecilia Ortiz.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: How can anyone NOT love that smile! Good luck at Christmas Chaos, Cecilia. But don’t forget that Kimberly Chase awaits you.
The tweet fades away to the Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I love seeing how active on social media our athletes are. I love to see them out there, mixing it up with the fans. I love -
Before James could continue, the lights on set cut out.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Um...guys?
Suddenly a green purge mask lights up next where James is sitting.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: HOLY SH-
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: Woah...woah...calm down, James.
The lights slowly come up, but they now have a green hue to them. We can see Christian DeMarco sitting next to James at the main Edge desk, wearing the green mask.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: W-welcome, Cali-...I’m sorry, Chris-...I’m sorry, Mr. DeMarco.
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: No need for niceties, James. Go ahead and just call me Christian.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: O-okay, Christian. What, um...what brings you to The Edge?
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: Well everyone saw the announcement concerning Fallout and the GREAT fun we are going to have on Thursday nights.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Most definitely. I am very much looking forward to watching it.
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: And everyone saw the partial announcement of the Purge Match that will open Unbreakable Resolution.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Absolutely!
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: Well I am here to further explain the match that I will be hosting.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: You’ll be hosting?
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: You see, James, I will be present in St. Elmo, Colorado. So will two-thousand screaming fans.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Won’t it be cold though? Being outside...at the end of December...in Colorado? I think I saw that it is supposed to be a low of sixteen that night. Will we offer things like beanies or masks or something?
Christian smirks as he takes the green purge mask off and places it on the desk.
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: Oh, there will be masks, James. But aside from that. I also wanted to explain that these ten athletes will fight it out in this small town...and while they do, there will be ten large monitors for my two-thousand friends to watch the fun. And they will all be gathered around a wrestling right, that will be placed squarely on Main Street.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: But I thought the match would take place out in the town?
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: It will! You see while the athletes run around, they will each be followed by a referee. The referees have been instructed that once we are down to TWO athletes left...they are to be led to the ring.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Seems like a stupid question...but what happens then?
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: No question is stupid, James. Once there are only two athletes left, they will be escorted to the ring...where they will participate in an all out brawl. They will have to place a ladder in the center of the ring and climb up the ladder and pull down one of three briefcases that are being hung high above said ring.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Wait...three?
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: Yes, you heard correctly. Two contain a contract for a Future Opportunity of Project: Honor’s choosing...the third contains jack shit!
James seems taken back slightly.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: The third one...doesn’t contain anything?
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: It contains air...broken dreams and empty promises. Nothing but some fancy monogrammed briefcase that maybe has a ‘Made In China’ tag somewhere in there.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: So they could go through all of this trouble and bloodshed...for nothing?
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: What fun is life if you can’t gamble with it a little? The whole idea of this match is to put everything on the line, why not also put your reward on the line as well?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: So what is this future opportunity they have a shot at?
Christian winks at James.
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: Why spoil the fun?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Any other little tidbits you have in mind for this match?
Christian grabs his green purge mask and slides it on his face.
CHRISTIAN DeMARCO: Watch and see.
Before James could say another word, the lights go out again.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Ch-Christian?
The lights come up again and Christian’s seat is now empty.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Well...that was interesting. Stick around folks, we have a lot more show left.
We come back from commercial and James Edgebrook is standing in front of a large monitor/screen. The words ‘Elite 5: Honorable Mentions’ are on it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m starting to get curious that if we can even hold all this talent to an ‘Elite Five’ for much longer. But let’s take a look at THREE Honorable Mentions!!!
The Image changes on the monitor.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Aiden gained a victory over Contessa and jumped his record in his short time here, up to two-and-oh. And now with a Legacy Series match and Pyro standing before him...we get to see how far Aiden can rise in the rankings!
The picture of Aiden changes.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One half of Legacy, James is making his mark. Another person of the two-and-oh club, James sits one win away from having Tag gold around his waist.
James’ picture fades away to a new one.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Elena was in our Honorable Mentions last show and stayed there only because no one was brave enough to challenge her at the Gladiator Contests. But with newcomer Drago Santiago standing across the ring from her soon, we will see if she truly has it to jump up to three-and oh and maybe...just maybe...make her way into the Elite Five!
Elena’s photo is replaced by the words ‘Elite 5: Number Five’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Our number five, is someone who has already made his mark in the company and has an opportunity to make a bigger mark!
Below her image are some stats: N/A, Record: 3-0, Movement: 1 Down.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: John Nash Strader was in fourth last week and only falls to fifth, because he did not fight last week. But he did make his presence known by showing up in front of Indy Darling and distracting him long enough for Mark Hunter to pull off the win against the X-Factor Champion. But in less than two weeks...JNS has a chance to put that belt over his shoulder. Can he do it?
The words ‘Elite 5: Number Four’ replace the picture of JNS.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Replacing John at number four on our list...
Below his image are the stats: Last Match: w/James Raven defeated The AV Club - Tag Team Tournament, Record 4-0, Movement: 1 Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn has been tearing through Project: Honor and is one win away from holding the Tag Team Titles with James Raven, in Legacy. Also, recently a Top One-hundred poll was done by an outside company and of all the indie promotions going right now...Shawn was ranked the number two wrestler in the land! How about that?!?!
Warstein’s photo fades out to the words ‘Elite 5: Number Three’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Number three on our list is someone who will be stepping across from Shawn in a few weeks.
A few stats appear below the picture: Last Match: w/MYOJIN defeated Storm Chasers - Tag Team Tournament Match, Record 7-2, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Zane has the opportunity to be the FIRST Project: Honor roster member to hold two different PH Titles at any given time. The only thing in her way...the number two wrestler in the land!
‘Elite 5: Number Two’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: But she always has the help of the following individual...
Stats: Last Match: w/Zane defeated Storm Chasers - Tag Team Tournament Match, Record 8-2, Movement: -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Once I thought MYOJIN was going to have a continued issue with Dickie...but it seems his mind is split elsewhere lately. With his attempt at revenge building for C-
James says something, but a noise off camera causes his words to be inaudible.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ...and his Tag Team Title Match looming...I’m certain Dickie is that last thing on his mind right now.
MYOJIN’s name fades to the words ‘Elite 5: Number One’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And despite no match last week...
Stats: Last Match: N/A, Record 7-1, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: You can’t fault Dickie that no one wanted to challenge him. And I can’t necessarily knock him down under MYOJIN, at least right now.
James shrugs before the camera zooms back in to show only the monitor, showing a picture of the full ‘Elite 5’ list.
The screen goes blank and we pan out to see James still standing next to the screen.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: What an Elite 5! And with so much talent here, it will be amazing to see if that list changes after Unbreakable Resolution. Stick around and we will talk more about that.
We fade back in from the commercial break to see James Edgebrook and Alara Adams sitting at a round table, a monitor in the background.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Welcome back, folks. It’s time for Predictions, so I brought Alara Adams back onto The Edge...which could be one of our last ones, given that you are NOW one of the announcers for Fallout!
Alara smiles and waives to the camera.
ALARA ADAMS: We will see. It’s more of the idea of if I am allowed or not. But I guess we will see.
An image of James Edgebrook appears on the monitor behind them. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Week: 3-5, Overall: 16-17”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Last Week: 6-2, Overall: 13-5”
Both images fade out to show the words ‘Unbreakable Resolution - 12/20/2020 / Ball Center, Denver, Colorado’ appear on the screen.
ALARA ADAMS: Wow, I had a good week.
Alara smiles
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And I did absolutely garbage. BUT...I have an opportunity to fix that.
ALARA ADAMS: Race you to twenty?
Alara winks at James, but he ignores it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout GM Christian DeMarco stopped by earlier and gave me a little extra info on this match. Looking at the people in this match, there are a LOT of ways this can go. But my money? I think I would have to go with Mark Hunter.
ALARA ADAMS: He does seem like one hell of a competitor and I see so many of them in this match. But I’d have to bet on Matt Knox. Something about him has me thinking he will pull this off.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Two beautiful women. Two women wanting to make their mark in singles action. I’ve sat across from Kimberly. I’ll have to go with her. I’ve seen the animosity she can bring.
ALARA ADAMS: But did you see what Cecilia and Lucy did to Big Drip? Cecilia Ortiz for the win.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: With six people standing in the way for this...this can only go about as sideways as the Purge Match. But I think I will have to go with Alex Slayer on this one.
ALARA ADAMS: Really? The man has only one win to his name.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And Indy Darling was winless before he stole the X-Factor Championship.
ALARA ADAMS: Touché. But I don’t think it will be Alex, still. I think Daniel Horor truly comes out on top in this matchup.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: With no Cecilia to help out Daddy, I think Kasey starts her comeback with a WIN!
ALARA ADAMS: But don’t doubt Lucy! I think Two Tones Mafia represents at Unbreakable Resolution and goes two-and-oh.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: In the first of the Legacy Series, Aiden takes on Pyro. We saw what Pyro has in store for people as he dismantled Kincaid at Proving Ground. I think Pyro continues that push and gives Reynolds his first loss.
ALARA ADAMS: And while I do understand Pyro is no one to mess with, I just can’t go against one-half of The Commonwealth in this matchup. Reynolds pulls off a hard victory.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’ve heard about Drago. I’ve heard of the things he is capable of. I refuse to pick against him.
ALARA ADAMS: But...it’s Elena DeDraca...how can you pick against her? DeDraca over Drago!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Indy’s only win has come in his surprise win for the title...I don’t think he gets a second here. JNS becomes the new X-Factor Champion.
ALARA ADAMS: I agree with you here. John is in Indy’s head. I think that matters here. John Nash Strader walks out of Colorado with a shiny new title.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One...simple...word: MYOJIN. Celestial Lovers are the Inaugural Tag Team Champs.
ALARA ADAMS: I have a few words for you: Number Two Ranked Wrestler! I just can't, in good conscience, pick against Shawn Warstein at this point. Normally I can see how MYOJIN and Zane pull this off...but MYOJIN’s mind seems elsewhere right now. Legacy takes home the Tag Titles.
Both of them turn to look at the monitor for the next match, but the image never appears, just words.
James looks at the monitor and shakes his head.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Sorry about that folks. I’m not sure what is wrong with the monitor. BUT...even though I don’t want to say this...I can’t see MYOJIN pulling this off after just fighting in a Tag Team match. Even with a break in the middle, MYOJIN will be running on fumes. C-
Another off camera noise blocks out what James says.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ... manages to come out with the win.
ALARA ADAMS: And I see that this is EXACTLY what MYOJIN has put his mind to for this show. I think MYOJIN wins...and wins with authority.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I can’t pick against Dickie here. He has been champ since the beginning and has not lost a singles match yet. Dickie continues that drive!
ALARA ADAMS: I’m going to go out on a limb here. I think Contessa surprises us all and pulls off the upset. Contessa Floran will be the NEW Proving Ground Grand Champion
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is going to be one HELL of a season ending pay-per-view. Thank you as always, Alara.
ALARA ADAMS: Hope we can do it again!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And we will see you all when we return with the Medals of Honor!!!
The words ‘Best Promo’ appear on screen.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This award is given to the person or persons that shot the best promotional video for Project: Honor for our last show. I watched video after video after video. And after watching such artistry...I finally made my choice.
A picture of Zane and MYOJIN appear underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: As usual, the promo video titled ‘Bound By Hope’ was beautiful and elegantly done. They continue to show us the story of them...while including their upcoming challenges.
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This one was easy.
A picture of Rock Johnson appear under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Rock Johnson comes out, announces a new brand...new titles...and just announces how AWESOME Project: Honor is becoming...that SCREAMS segment of the night to me, hands down.
The the words ‘Feud Of The Night’ appear, as Rock Johnson’s picture fades away
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This was another choice as their rivalry is about to come to a head.
A picture of MYOJIN appears underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’, but the picture of the second picture can not be seen as the image seems to be distorted or corrupted.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Hmmm, the continued fight between these two is about to come to a boil as they face off at Unbreakable Resolution. It should be interesting to see how this ends.
Everything fades out on the monitor, before ‘Spot Of The Night’ appears.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: In a show of Gladiator Contests, the Deathmatch prevails...
The monitor starts to show footage from Proving Ground.
Lazarus tosses the fire extinguisher away. He goes underneath the ring again and grabs a ladder. It's a 12 foot ladder, and he slides it in the ring. Lazarus goes over to his opponent and grabs him by the head. He slams his elbow into his opponent ' throat and then tosses him into the barricade. Lazarus's back is still a bloody mess, and Lazarus runs over and nails his opponent with a butterfly kick!
J.T. PRICE: That's such a pretty kick when his opponent does it.
His opponent nearly falls to the mat, but Lazarus catches him by the chin. Lazarus gets his opponent to his feet and lays him across the announcer's table.
TREY BOOKER: Come on Lazarus we need this!
Lazarus just laughs. He grabs something else underneath the ring. It's another steel chair. He raises it up and smashes it down on his opponent ' chest. His opponent covers his chest, as he cries out in pain. Lazarus punches his opponent in the head and his opponent ' face is now covered in blood. Lazarus places the chair over his opponent ' chest and then slides into the ring. He sets up the ladder against the ropes so that one he can only climb up one side of it. He climbs up to the top of the ladder and is now standing directly on top of it, with his back to his opponent .
TREY BOOKER: Wait Lazarus! Don't do this!
J.T. PRICE: It's too late!
Thousands of people fall silent as Lazarus leaps off the ladder and comes down on top of his opponent , the steel chair, and through the announcer's table with a reverse styled swanton bomb. He lays motionless on top of his opponent .
TREY BOOKER: Ok I think they might be dead.
J.T. PRICE: THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Lazarus remains on top of his opponent , but both men aren't moving. The referee is forced to count.
1…
2…
3!!!
DING! DING! DING!
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’, but now has a picture of Lazarus jumping off the top of ladder..
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Did you see that height?
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: How can a Main Event Deathmatch not be the Match of the Night?
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ appears a picture of Lazarus Arjen standing next to another distorted photo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Seems I need to get the IT department involved. Something odd keeps happening with some of these images. BUT...the back and forth nature and bedlam that happened in that Main Event...and that ending...wow...just...that ending!
‘The words ‘Medal Of Honor’ replace the ‘Match of the Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And finally...the top dog medal of the night.
A picture of Shawn Warstein appears on the screen behind James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn, since our last Edge show...has made his way into the finals of the Tag Team Tournament and been labeled as the second best wrestler in the land. Such large accolades he has accumulated these past couple weeks...I think he needs this one as well. And at number four on the Elite Five...he has the possibility to skip both the number two and three if he wins at this PPV.
ALARA ADAMS:[/color][/] BUT YOU CHOSE THE CELESTIAL LOVERS!
James shoots a dirty look off camera.
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: What a heck of a Proving Ground that was and what an exciting Unbreakable Resolution we have in front of us. Are you ready for it? Are you ready for the new season to start? For Fallout? THE DRAFT SHOW?!?!?!
James smiles.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I know I am.
‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play softly in the background.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Enjoy Unbreakable Resolution! This has been The Edge, with me...James Edgebrook. Good night and God Bless!
The scene begins to pan out as James stands there with a smile on his face.
The music fades out as we go to a black screen with a Project: Honor logo on it.
The sounds of an alarm going off from the darkness echo, before ‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play over the black screen.
An image of the words ‘Elite 5’ start in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the words ‘Medal of Honor' starts in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the Warrior Rising Championship, side by side with the Ascension Championship, starts in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the X-Factor Championship, side by side with the Noble Championship, starts in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the Grand Championship, side by side with the Prime Championship, starts in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
An image of the Tag Team Championship Titles start in the middle of the screen, like a dot, before flying forward to take up the entire screen.
Then finally the Legacy Championship TItle slowly fades into view, directly in the middle of the screen. It quickly cuts to black.
Finally the words ‘THE EDGE’ appear on the screen, out of the darkness.
We’re leaving together,
But still it’s farewell.
We switch to a video of Pyro hitting Alex Kincaid with a ‘Lights Out’.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to a video of Kallie Reznik nailing Dagvald Riddik with Elysium.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Switch to a video of Contessa Floran tapping out to Aiden, as he holds her in the Four X Gold.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to a video of Shawn Warstein and James Raven standing over a fallen Vortex of the Storm Chasers
Switch to a video of Zane and MYOJIN hugging, Valentine lying on the mat.
Switch to a video of Lazarus Arjen with his arm over his opponent, neither of them moving.
It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!
The video slowly pans out before fading to black. We finally come back to see a live shot of a man behind a silver desk. Wearing a dark gray t-shirt with his brown hair slicked back, the words ‘THE EDGE’ are shown on a monitor behind him. The rest of the set he is on is a mixture between gray and silver. The music fades out.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: HELLO PROJECT: HONOR FANS!!! Are you excited yet? ARE YOU EXCITED FOR WHAT IS COMING? Let’s get this show going!!!
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the screen behind him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We usually begin the show, with a warm welcome to all the talent Rock Johnson signs. This show will be no different as Rock’s streak of signing talent continues...even signing someone that many Project: Honor fans already know AND love...good ol’ Kasey Winterborn!
The camera focuses on the monitor behind James, where we see headshots of all the new roster members.
Kasey Winterborn

JAMES EDGEBROOK: Rock just keeps bringing in the talent. And now with TWO brands to hand them to, Rock can keep bringing it!
The pictures fade out from the screen as James turns back around completely.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Let’s head to the new little segment, highlighting the tweets of some of our favorite Project: Honor athletes.
------------------------------ TWEETS ------------------------------
A tweet from newcomer Kimberly Chase appears on the monitor.

We come back from commercial and James Edgebrook is standing in front of a large monitor/screen. The words ‘Elite 5: Honorable Mentions’ are on it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m starting to get curious that if we can even hold all this talent to an ‘Elite Five’ for much longer. But let’s take a look at THREE Honorable Mentions!!!
The Image changes on the monitor.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Aiden gained a victory over Contessa and jumped his record in his short time here, up to two-and-oh. And now with a Legacy Series match and Pyro standing before him...we get to see how far Aiden can rise in the rankings!
The picture of Aiden changes.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One half of Legacy, James is making his mark. Another person of the two-and-oh club, James sits one win away from having Tag gold around his waist.
James’ picture fades away to a new one.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Elena was in our Honorable Mentions last show and stayed there only because no one was brave enough to challenge her at the Gladiator Contests. But with newcomer Drago Santiago standing across the ring from her soon, we will see if she truly has it to jump up to three-and oh and maybe...just maybe...make her way into the Elite Five!
Elena’s photo is replaced by the words ‘Elite 5: Number Five’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Our number five, is someone who has already made his mark in the company and has an opportunity to make a bigger mark!
Below her image are some stats: N/A, Record: 3-0, Movement: 1 Down.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: John Nash Strader was in fourth last week and only falls to fifth, because he did not fight last week. But he did make his presence known by showing up in front of Indy Darling and distracting him long enough for Mark Hunter to pull off the win against the X-Factor Champion. But in less than two weeks...JNS has a chance to put that belt over his shoulder. Can he do it?
The words ‘Elite 5: Number Four’ replace the picture of JNS.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Replacing John at number four on our list...
Below his image are the stats: Last Match: w/James Raven defeated The AV Club - Tag Team Tournament, Record 4-0, Movement: 1 Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn has been tearing through Project: Honor and is one win away from holding the Tag Team Titles with James Raven, in Legacy. Also, recently a Top One-hundred poll was done by an outside company and of all the indie promotions going right now...Shawn was ranked the number two wrestler in the land! How about that?!?!
Warstein’s photo fades out to the words ‘Elite 5: Number Three’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Number three on our list is someone who will be stepping across from Shawn in a few weeks.
A few stats appear below the picture: Last Match: w/MYOJIN defeated Storm Chasers - Tag Team Tournament Match, Record 7-2, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Zane has the opportunity to be the FIRST Project: Honor roster member to hold two different PH Titles at any given time. The only thing in her way...the number two wrestler in the land!
‘Elite 5: Number Two’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: But she always has the help of the following individual...
Stats: Last Match: w/Zane defeated Storm Chasers - Tag Team Tournament Match, Record 8-2, Movement: -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Once I thought MYOJIN was going to have a continued issue with Dickie...but it seems his mind is split elsewhere lately. With his attempt at revenge building for C-
James says something, but a noise off camera causes his words to be inaudible.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ...and his Tag Team Title Match looming...I’m certain Dickie is that last thing on his mind right now.
MYOJIN’s name fades to the words ‘Elite 5: Number One’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And despite no match last week...
Stats: Last Match: N/A, Record 7-1, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: You can’t fault Dickie that no one wanted to challenge him. And I can’t necessarily knock him down under MYOJIN, at least right now.
James shrugs before the camera zooms back in to show only the monitor, showing a picture of the full ‘Elite 5’ list.
The screen goes blank and we pan out to see James still standing next to the screen.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: What an Elite 5! And with so much talent here, it will be amazing to see if that list changes after Unbreakable Resolution. Stick around and we will talk more about that.
------------------------------------- COMMERCIAL FOR XHF NETWORK -------------------------------------
We fade back in from the commercial break to see James Edgebrook and Alara Adams sitting at a round table, a monitor in the background.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Welcome back, folks. It’s time for Predictions, so I brought Alara Adams back onto The Edge...which could be one of our last ones, given that you are NOW one of the announcers for Fallout!
Alara smiles and waives to the camera.
ALARA ADAMS: We will see. It’s more of the idea of if I am allowed or not. But I guess we will see.
------------------------------ PREDICTIONS ------------------------------
An image of James Edgebrook appears on the monitor behind them. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Week: 3-5, Overall: 16-17”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Last Week: 6-2, Overall: 13-5”
Both images fade out to show the words ‘Unbreakable Resolution - 12/20/2020 / Ball Center, Denver, Colorado’ appear on the screen.
ALARA ADAMS: Wow, I had a good week.
Alara smiles
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And I did absolutely garbage. BUT...I have an opportunity to fix that.
ALARA ADAMS: Race you to twenty?
Alara winks at James, but he ignores it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout GM Christian DeMarco stopped by earlier and gave me a little extra info on this match. Looking at the people in this match, there are a LOT of ways this can go. But my money? I think I would have to go with Mark Hunter.
ALARA ADAMS: He does seem like one hell of a competitor and I see so many of them in this match. But I’d have to bet on Matt Knox. Something about him has me thinking he will pull this off.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Two beautiful women. Two women wanting to make their mark in singles action. I’ve sat across from Kimberly. I’ll have to go with her. I’ve seen the animosity she can bring.
ALARA ADAMS: But did you see what Cecilia and Lucy did to Big Drip? Cecilia Ortiz for the win.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: With six people standing in the way for this...this can only go about as sideways as the Purge Match. But I think I will have to go with Alex Slayer on this one.
ALARA ADAMS: Really? The man has only one win to his name.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And Indy Darling was winless before he stole the X-Factor Championship.
ALARA ADAMS: Touché. But I don’t think it will be Alex, still. I think Daniel Horor truly comes out on top in this matchup.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: With no Cecilia to help out Daddy, I think Kasey starts her comeback with a WIN!
ALARA ADAMS: But don’t doubt Lucy! I think Two Tones Mafia represents at Unbreakable Resolution and goes two-and-oh.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: In the first of the Legacy Series, Aiden takes on Pyro. We saw what Pyro has in store for people as he dismantled Kincaid at Proving Ground. I think Pyro continues that push and gives Reynolds his first loss.
ALARA ADAMS: And while I do understand Pyro is no one to mess with, I just can’t go against one-half of The Commonwealth in this matchup. Reynolds pulls off a hard victory.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’ve heard about Drago. I’ve heard of the things he is capable of. I refuse to pick against him.
ALARA ADAMS: But...it’s Elena DeDraca...how can you pick against her? DeDraca over Drago!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Indy’s only win has come in his surprise win for the title...I don’t think he gets a second here. JNS becomes the new X-Factor Champion.
ALARA ADAMS: I agree with you here. John is in Indy’s head. I think that matters here. John Nash Strader walks out of Colorado with a shiny new title.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One...simple...word: MYOJIN. Celestial Lovers are the Inaugural Tag Team Champs.
ALARA ADAMS: I have a few words for you: Number Two Ranked Wrestler! I just can't, in good conscience, pick against Shawn Warstein at this point. Normally I can see how MYOJIN and Zane pull this off...but MYOJIN’s mind seems elsewhere right now. Legacy takes home the Tag Titles.
Both of them turn to look at the monitor for the next match, but the image never appears, just words.
MYOJIN vs. C&%$@# $*@#%: LAST MAN STANDING MATCH
James looks at the monitor and shakes his head.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Sorry about that folks. I’m not sure what is wrong with the monitor. BUT...even though I don’t want to say this...I can’t see MYOJIN pulling this off after just fighting in a Tag Team match. Even with a break in the middle, MYOJIN will be running on fumes. C-
Another off camera noise blocks out what James says.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ... manages to come out with the win.
ALARA ADAMS: And I see that this is EXACTLY what MYOJIN has put his mind to for this show. I think MYOJIN wins...and wins with authority.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I can’t pick against Dickie here. He has been champ since the beginning and has not lost a singles match yet. Dickie continues that drive!
ALARA ADAMS: I’m going to go out on a limb here. I think Contessa surprises us all and pulls off the upset. Contessa Floran will be the NEW Proving Ground Grand Champion
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is going to be one HELL of a season ending pay-per-view. Thank you as always, Alara.
ALARA ADAMS: Hope we can do it again!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And we will see you all when we return with the Medals of Honor!!!
--------------------------- COMMERCIAL FOR THE PROJECT: HONOR DRAFT SHOW---------------------------
------------------------------------------------ JANUARY 8TH, 2020 ------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------ JANUARY 8TH, 2020 ------------------------------------------------
Our show opens back up and we see Caden Young, dressed in a white suit, standing by himself in front of the gray wall. His hands behind his back, you can tell he is reading from cue cards.
CADEN YOUNG: Um...h-hello everyone. You all know me, the Assistant to the General Manager, Caden Young…pause.
He pauses, apparently reading the ‘pause’ que on the card by mistake. Caden swallows hard, obviously uneasy trying to read the card.
CADEN YOUNG: I am here to talk to you about the Legacy Series, which will eventually decide our um...Legacy champagne...I mean...Champion.
He pulls at his collar.
CADEN YOUNG: Each match in the Legacy Series will be decided at random by the spin of a roulette wheel. And, uh, it will have options on it. Some will be shown on Fallout...others on Proving Ground. This way no one will know what is in store for us...shit!...them.
Someone hands Caden a handkerchief from off screen. He takes it, dabs lightly at the perspiration on his forehead, then tosses it back beyond the camera.
CADEN YOUNG: They could get either a regular singles match or...uh...an inferno match...or...um...a cage match. The roulette wheel will decide! Unbreakable Resolution is the first Legacy Series matchup as we see Aiden Reynolds take on Pyro. So, keep an eye out for more of these wonderful matches...uh...meant to show some of the best talent we have on Fallout...and some of uh...the best talent we have on Proving Grounds. Oops, I mean Proving Ground. Thank you.
Caden smiles as the camera sticks on him for a moment.
------------------------------ MEDALS OF HONOR ------------------------------
We cut to see James Edgebrook now stands in front of the lone monitor/screen once again
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thank you, Mr. Young, Welcome everyone, to the usual final segment of our show...and arguably one of the most important. We will be awarding the Medal of Honor awards for the December fourth edition of Proving Ground!
The words ‘Best Promo’ appear on screen.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This award is given to the person or persons that shot the best promotional video for Project: Honor for our last show. I watched video after video after video. And after watching such artistry...I finally made my choice.
A picture of Zane and MYOJIN appear underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: As usual, the promo video titled ‘Bound By Hope’ was beautiful and elegantly done. They continue to show us the story of them...while including their upcoming challenges.
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This one was easy.
A picture of Rock Johnson appear under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Rock Johnson comes out, announces a new brand...new titles...and just announces how AWESOME Project: Honor is becoming...that SCREAMS segment of the night to me, hands down.
The the words ‘Feud Of The Night’ appear, as Rock Johnson’s picture fades away
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This was another choice as their rivalry is about to come to a head.
A picture of MYOJIN appears underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’, but the picture of the second picture can not be seen as the image seems to be distorted or corrupted.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Hmmm, the continued fight between these two is about to come to a boil as they face off at Unbreakable Resolution. It should be interesting to see how this ends.
Everything fades out on the monitor, before ‘Spot Of The Night’ appears.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: In a show of Gladiator Contests, the Deathmatch prevails...
The monitor starts to show footage from Proving Ground.
Lazarus tosses the fire extinguisher away. He goes underneath the ring again and grabs a ladder. It's a 12 foot ladder, and he slides it in the ring. Lazarus goes over to his opponent and grabs him by the head. He slams his elbow into his opponent ' throat and then tosses him into the barricade. Lazarus's back is still a bloody mess, and Lazarus runs over and nails his opponent with a butterfly kick!
J.T. PRICE: That's such a pretty kick when his opponent does it.
His opponent nearly falls to the mat, but Lazarus catches him by the chin. Lazarus gets his opponent to his feet and lays him across the announcer's table.
TREY BOOKER: Come on Lazarus we need this!
Lazarus just laughs. He grabs something else underneath the ring. It's another steel chair. He raises it up and smashes it down on his opponent ' chest. His opponent covers his chest, as he cries out in pain. Lazarus punches his opponent in the head and his opponent ' face is now covered in blood. Lazarus places the chair over his opponent ' chest and then slides into the ring. He sets up the ladder against the ropes so that one he can only climb up one side of it. He climbs up to the top of the ladder and is now standing directly on top of it, with his back to his opponent .
TREY BOOKER: Wait Lazarus! Don't do this!
J.T. PRICE: It's too late!
Thousands of people fall silent as Lazarus leaps off the ladder and comes down on top of his opponent , the steel chair, and through the announcer's table with a reverse styled swanton bomb. He lays motionless on top of his opponent .
TREY BOOKER: Ok I think they might be dead.
J.T. PRICE: THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE!!!!
Lazarus remains on top of his opponent , but both men aren't moving. The referee is forced to count.
1…
2…
3!!!
DING! DING! DING!
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’, but now has a picture of Lazarus jumping off the top of ladder..
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Did you see that height?
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: How can a Main Event Deathmatch not be the Match of the Night?
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ appears a picture of Lazarus Arjen standing next to another distorted photo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Seems I need to get the IT department involved. Something odd keeps happening with some of these images. BUT...the back and forth nature and bedlam that happened in that Main Event...and that ending...wow...just...that ending!
‘The words ‘Medal Of Honor’ replace the ‘Match of the Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And finally...the top dog medal of the night.
A picture of Shawn Warstein appears on the screen behind James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn, since our last Edge show...has made his way into the finals of the Tag Team Tournament and been labeled as the second best wrestler in the land. Such large accolades he has accumulated these past couple weeks...I think he needs this one as well. And at number four on the Elite Five...he has the possibility to skip both the number two and three if he wins at this PPV.
ALARA ADAMS:[/color][/] BUT YOU CHOSE THE CELESTIAL LOVERS!
James shoots a dirty look off camera.
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: What a heck of a Proving Ground that was and what an exciting Unbreakable Resolution we have in front of us. Are you ready for it? Are you ready for the new season to start? For Fallout? THE DRAFT SHOW?!?!?!
James smiles.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I know I am.
‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play softly in the background.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Enjoy Unbreakable Resolution! This has been The Edge, with me...James Edgebrook. Good night and God Bless!
The scene begins to pan out as James stands there with a smile on his face.
The music fades out as we go to a black screen with a Project: Honor logo on it.
