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 Aiden Reynolds hitting Pyro with the Gold Coast Cutter
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to a video of Mark Hunter clinging tightly to the Purge Briefcase.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Switch to a video of TJ Thompson on his knees, looking at the Warrior Rising Championship Title.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to a video of Indy Darling holding up the X-Factor Championship Title.
Flash to a video of Dickie Watson holding up the Grand Championship Title.
Cut to a video of Shawn Warstein and James Raven holding up the Tag Team Championship Titles.
Finally a video of Zane peeling out of the parking lot with Colton Saint in the trunk of her car.
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 forest green 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: Did you see that? Did you watch that? Holy CRAP that show...
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the screen behind him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ....first, let’s look at some of our newcomers that Rock Johnson has WONDERFULLY signed to this beautiful company.
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: After Unbreakable Resolution, I am happy to see people still pouring in! The chaos, the destruction...the...just...wow...
The pictures fade out from the screen as James turns back around completely.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Enough of that for now, folks. Let’s take a look at the Social Media postings of our favorite Project Honor athletes!
A tweet from one-half of the Tag Team Champions, Shawn Warstein, appears on the screen
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn has not always been someone we here at The Edge have believed in. I think that changes now.
The tweet fades out to a tweet from Maverick
JAMES EDGEBROOK: After being a surprise instigator at the Purge Match, it is no surprise that a quiet night was boring for Maverick.
Maverick’s tweet slowly gives way to one from Matthew Knox.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: The man took a Mercy Killer from over fifteen feet high, through the ring. It’s no question why he is sore. And honestly though...who the hell double-knots a briefcase held above the ring?
The Knox tweet fades away to one from John Nash Strader.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: John certainly isn’t happy with how his match turned out at Unbreakable Resolution and I’m sure Victoria isn’t happy either. They have high hopes heading into the Project Honor Draft!
In a fade away, JNS’ tweet changes to one from Big Drop Productions.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: A little pet peeve of some in management, is the misspelling of Proving Ground when it is typed out by the Closed Caption brigade. But it seems even some of those within the company, get it slightly confused.
The tweet fades away to the Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: It's good to see our warriors intermingling with the fans. They are not above them, despite what some of them think.
PROJECT: HONOR PRESENTS:
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: After talking to Rock Johnson, this might possibly be the last of the Elite Five nominations...as we might be increasing that number. I mean, we are moving to two separate shows and the roster is almost at fifty! So let’s get started with some Honorable Mentions first.
The Image changes on the monitor.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Hunter came onto the scene a couple shows ago and took down the X-Factor Champion, Indy Darling, in a two-out-of-three falls match. He nabbed his two pins and started his rise in the company. And then at Unbreakable Resolution, he outlasted nine other individuals in the chaos known as the Purge Match, to steal away that briefcase with the yet unknown prize. There is no telling how high the Straight Shooter gets.
The picture fades out to the second Honorable Mention of the night.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: While it is weird to see Zane all the way down in the Honorable Mentions, it means we have some new faces in the Elite Five. Zane lost at Unbreakable Resolution, falling just short of the Tag Team Titles. But loss hasn’t stopped her before.
Zane’s picture changes to another familiar face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Yet another odd sight. MYOJIN failed in his attempt to help Celestial Lovers gain gold, but he did accomplish the simple destruction of one Mr. Saint.
MYOJIN’s photo is replaced by the words ‘Elite 5: Number Five’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Here we are with our first new face to the list
Below her image are some stats: Last Match: w/Shawn Warstein defeated Celestial Lovers - Tag Team Tournament Finals, Record: 3-0, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: James and Shawn burned through the Tag Team Championship Tournament with reckless abandon. Now, he holds a title for his efforts. How come he isn’t further up this list? Because despite being three-and-oh and being half of the Tag Team Champions...all of those wins came in Tag matches. Yes, James has the ability to get himself onto the Elite Five. But, can he win without Shawn?
The words ‘Elite 5: Number Four’ replace the picture of James Raven.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Taking over at number four on our list...
Below his image are the stats: Last Match: Defeated Pyro - Legacy Gauntlet Match, Record 3-0, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Aiden has taken on everyone that has challenged him...and come out victorious. At Unbreakable Resolution he won his Legacy Gauntlet match for the brand new Legacy Championship. Now to see what comes next for the Aussie Wolf.
Reynolds’ photo fades out to the words ‘Elite 5: Number Three’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Another new name on our Elite Five.
A few stats appear below the picture: Last Match: Defeated Drago Santiago, Record 3-0, Movement Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Elena has continued to show us why we should never doubt her. At Unbreakable Resolution, she took out the PH newcomer Drago Santiago. At the Draft Show, she will have a chance to prove herself even more.
Fade to the words ‘Elite 5: Number Two’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And then there is someone who has been slowly creeping up the Project: Honor ladder.
Stats: Last Match: w/James Raven defeated Legacy - Tag Team Tournament Finals, Record 5-0, Movement: 2 Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn has quietly built himself an undefeated record that can only be rivaled by Dickie himself. Now, Shawn has Tag Team Gold around his waist and I’m sure he isn’t satisfied yet.
Shawn Warstein’s picture fades to the words ‘Elite 5: Number One’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And of course, at number one.
Stats: Last Match: Defeated Contessa Floran - Grand Championship Match , Record 8-1, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Dickie is the Grand Champion...still. With an eight-and-one record and undefeated in singles action, I can’t see why now would be the time to knock him down a peg. He still is the best Project: Honor has. But how long before Shawn Warstein challenges him for that place?
James smiles 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: I suspected changes for the Elite Five, in the last show. But wow, I am shocked by the amount of new names on our list.
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. So next, let’s take a look at…
Suddenly, James is interrupted by the appearance of a well-groomed man wearing a tuxedo. The man with the thin gray moustache has a microphone in his hand, and without an explanation for his arrival, he begins to make an introduction as if he were in an arena and not a studio.
WINSTON WINFIELD: Ladies and Gentlemen, The Edge with James Edgebrook and Alara Adams is proud to welcome a man that needs no introduction, and yet, that is exactly what I am here to provide. This man has made a living out of knocking out mother fuckers to his left and to his right. He stands at an impressive six foot three, with a couple of additional inches upon measuring that glorious hairstyle. He last weighed in at two hundred and forty-five pounds of lean muscle and grit. In some circles he is known as The Weatherman...The Shepherd of Lost Souls...and The Bad Mother Fucker. Tonight, he is your personal Back-Door Santa…he is “Festive and Furious”...Julius...Fairweather!
Julius then enters the picture, wearing his black suit and tie as he normally would, but also with a traditional Santa hat resting atop his afro. In addition to that, he has a small red sack slung over his shoulder.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Ho, Ho, (he pauses to give Alara Adams a sly wink), and hey ho. It’s everyone’s favorite mother fucker, here to spread a little Christmas cheer on this edition of The Edge! What up, James mother fucking Edgebrook?
Julius attempts to exchange a series of fist bumps with the host, who does his best to keep up but ultimately cannot find the rhythm.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Well I must say, this is an interesting surprise. Welcome to The Edge, Julius.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: That’s Mr. Fairweather to you, but Alara, you can call me “daddy”
Julius remains standing on the set as James deftly conjures up some questions for his unexpected guest.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I must say, Mr. Fairweather, that you made quite an impact at Unbreakable Resolution. Rumor has it that Rock Johnson has even demanded that Caden Young issue you with a fine for assaulting a fan?
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Hold up, mother fucker. The only fine we should be talking about right now is that fine piece of womanhood sitting next to you. And seeing how ‘tis the season to be a suave mother fucker, I’ve brought some gifts along with me!
Julius takes the red bag off his shoulder, pulls it open, and begins to search through its contents. After a few moments he pulls out a cell phone and reaches out to hand it to Alara.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Ladies first. It’s a little burner phone for when you’re up late on Christmas Eve and think of a last minute gift that Santa can slide into your stocking. And don’t you worry, Santa’s number is already programmed in there…
Alara takes the gift with a somewhat perplexed expression.
ALARA: Um...thank you?
JULIUS FARIWEATHER: You are welcome, momma. You are always welcome, if you know what I mean. But Santa’s not done yet! I couldn’t help but hear James mother fucking Edgebrook mention a one Mr. Caden Young. Santa’s got a little something for his twitchy ass too!
Julius reaches back into his bag, eventually pulling out a JUUL e-cigarette. With Caden Young not present, he hands it over to James.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Now I’m gonna trust you to make sure that gets in Caden’s shaky little hands. It has Santa’s special blend already loaded and ready to go. And Edgebrook... (Julius gives the host that bulging stare we saw right before he knocked out Brad from Denver)...I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger if my thoughtful gift doesn’t reach its rightful owner. We cool?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Uh...yeah...of course. Nothing but cool here, but I have to ask, is this a bribe to get out of your fine?
With a very angry look, Julius immediately digs back into his bag, ultimately pulling out what appears to be a Glock, and points it right at James Edgebrook.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Say that again, mother fucker! Say that again, I dare you! I double dare you!
James pushes his chair back in a momentary panic, throwing up his hands and stammering uncontrollably.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Whoa! Holy shit! Just...just...wait a minute! I-I-I…
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: I'm gonna shove this mother fucker up your pale ass like it's a Christmas goose and pull the trigger until is says Happy Hanukkah, mother fucker!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: No! No, please!
At that moment, Julius pulls the trigger, and a Nerf dart blasts from the toy gun, its suction tip hitting James squarely between the eyes and sticking in place. After this very tense few seconds, Julius beams with a wide smile once again.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Ha ha! Mother fucker, you should have seen the look on your face! The name is Fairweather, not Strader, you nervous little shit! But don’t worry, James, because with all the jokes aside, I’ve got a gift for you too! Are you ready for your gift, mother fucker?
With the dart still stuck to his forehead, James does his best to calm his nerves and reply.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I...uh...yes...yes I think so...just...um...maybe put it on the desk over there…
With his smile still beaming, Julius reaches back into his big red sack. This time, he pulls out what appears to be a board game. Upon closer inspection, we see that it is the official special edition of Project: Honor’s version of Clue. Julius slides it onto the desk as James looks at it from a distance.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: If there’s one thing you need, mother fucker, it’s a goddamn clue. And do you know what this clue says, James?
JAMES EDGEBROOKE: I...uh...no...I honestly have no idea.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Well, other than saying that it was Colton Saint in the parking lot with a nightstick, this mother fucker says that “Furious” Julius Fairweather had the best goddamn segment of the night. So...we cool?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Oh...oh yeah...we cool…
Julius slings the red sack back over his shoulder and nods his head with a smile.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Now that’s what I like to hear, mother fucker.
And with that, he gives Alara one more wink before turning away and leaving the set.
ALARA ADAMS: Well now. That was interesting.
An image of James Edgebrook appears on the monitor behind them. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Week: 4-6, Overall: 20-23”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Last Week: 4-6, Overall: 17-11”
Both images fade out to show the words ‘Project Honor: Draft Show - 01/08/2021 / ’ Oracle Park, San Francisco, California’ appear on the screen.
ALARA ADAMS: Neither of us had good weeks, did we?
Alara shakes her head, looking at her record
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Unbreakable Resolution brought forth a lot of unknowns, which is obvious by our sub-five hundred picks.
ALARA ADAMS: Well At least you got to twenty first.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Dex made a statement in the Purge Match, making it to third place. On the other side, we saw Drago roll in and lose to Elene DeDraca. With that being said, I think Dex gets one in the win column.
ALARA ADAMS: I’ve heard of Drago prior to this. He is not your normal type of man. And honestly, the match with Elena could have been a fluke. I’m
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Contessa almost walked out of Unbreakable Resolution with the Grand Championship. I’m sure she is more than motivated to walk out of California with the Legacy Gauntlet win.
ALARA ADAMS: I will have to agree with you. Mia is new to Project: Honor...and I don’t know if she has it in her to take out a pissed off Contessa.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I simply can not doubt Shawn anymore. Shawn Warstein walks away with the win.
ALARA ADAMS: Elite Number Two versus Elite Number Three...what a match! I’ll go out on a limb and cry out girl power, Elena DeDraca walks out of the Draft with that Legacy Gauntlet victory under her lacey belt.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Not sure how THIS match is above Shawn and Elena, but more power to Rock Johnson. I think MYOJIN gets back into the Elite Five with a win here.
ALARA ADAMS: Without hearing or seeing much of Kat Jones yet, I will have to side with MYOJIN as well.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One who says he is Drip, one who tries to show he is Drip, and one who IS Drip. Dickie continues to roll in singles competition.
ALARA ADAMS: Dickie goes nine-and-one. No contest.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Well this is a short show, due to the Draft and the Awards. So thank you for coming back today, Alara.
ALARA ADAMS: You are welcome!
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. After digging through hours of footage from the promotional material our people put out for Unbreakable Resolution...I have come to a conclusion.
A picture of Dickie Watson appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Dickie brought it with ‘Unsainted’ this week. He had one hell of a match up ahead of him with Contessa Floran...and he showed us all why he thought he still deserved to be Champion. And then he proceeded to go out to that ring and show us why he IS still Champion!
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: With a plethora of wonderful segments...I am a stickler for ones that change the direction of Project: Honor.
A picture of Caden Young and the Legacy Championship Title appear under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Caden came out and explained to us all, just how Rock Johnson wanted to hand out the Legacy Championship. Multiple people, both brands, Legacy Chamber. ‘Nough said.
Caden’s picture fades away, replaced by the the words ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Easy
A picture of MYOJIN and Colton Saint appear underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: In the culmination of a war that started months ago, MYOJIN finally put the feud to an end. Now with Colton gone, can MYOJIN rest easy?
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of MYOJIN and Colton.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Again, I had so much to choose from. But one thing stood out for me.
The monitor starts to show footage from Proving Ground.
Mark Hunter enters into the building, ignoring the sign in front...but now noticing all the letters and packages sitting around. He bends down and grabs Josiah Andrew Scott, standing him to his feet. Quickly rocking him with a right hook of his own, Josiah stumbles back up against a back wall. Without thought, Mark begins grabbing the boxes and packages laying around, throwing them at Josiah to confuse him.
MARK HUNTER: Instant Karma-time, bitch!
Mark Hunter pulls back and unleashes MASSIVE superkick…
The crowd explodes.
KAYDEN ELLIS: HOLY SHIT!!!
A hand has grabbed ahold of Mark’s foot, before it could connect with JAS. The camera pans out to show who it is.
KAYDEN ELLIS: IT’S PAT THE POSTMAN!!! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE IN ST. ELMO?!?!
PAT THE POSTMAN: This is a FEDERAL place of business. What you have done to these boxes is a TRAVESTY!
Pat pushes Mark’s foot away, causing him to spin around. Before he could turn back to confront Pat, The Postman had grabbed both Hunter and Scott by their shirt collars.
PAT THE POSTMAN: I will NOT have you defiling ANYMORE of this Post Office.
Pat carries them both the door and tosses them both out onto the street. Both Mark and Josiah turn and look at the Post Office, only to see Pat slam the door shut.
MARK HUNTER: What the hell?
JOSIAH ANDREW SCOTT: You’re guess is as good as mine.
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’ and has a picture of Pat The Postman next to it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Pat defended the Post Office! No one shall defile the great institute of the US Postal Service!
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I heard the talking in the back and it swayed my own voting.
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ appears a picture of a green Purge mask.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: St. Elmo, Colorado...home of Project: Honor’s first ever Purge Match. We saw broken noses, chunks of wood shoved through people, and a really bad man become a polar bear snack. If this is Fallout’s first attempt at getting our attention, I’m scared to see what else is going on in the mind of Christian DeMarco.
‘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 and James Raven appears on the screen behind James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: In an unprecedented move, I am awarding the Medal of Honor to BOTH Warstein and Raven. They fought through great lengths and one hell of a talented Celestial Lovers to be crowned PH’s Inaugural Tag Team Champions. Shawn and James walked out of Unbreakable Resolution with those bright shiny new titles. After all, who doesn’t love the bright shiny new thing...amiright?
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Unbreakable Resolution was a BEAUTIFUL way to end Season One of Project: Honor. With The Draft now ahead of us to start off our second Season, the sky's the limit. Are you ready for The Draft? For Proving Ground? For Fallout? For...The Crowning?
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: This has been The Edge, with me...James Edgebrook. Good night, God Bless, and Happy Holidays!!!
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 Aiden Reynolds hitting Pyro with the Gold Coast Cutter
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to a video of Mark Hunter clinging tightly to the Purge Briefcase.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Switch to a video of TJ Thompson on his knees, looking at the Warrior Rising Championship Title.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to a video of Indy Darling holding up the X-Factor Championship Title.
Flash to a video of Dickie Watson holding up the Grand Championship Title.
Cut to a video of Shawn Warstein and James Raven holding up the Tag Team Championship Titles.
Finally a video of Zane peeling out of the parking lot with Colton Saint in the trunk of her car.
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 forest green 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: Did you see that? Did you watch that? Holy CRAP that show...
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the screen behind him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ....first, let’s look at some of our newcomers that Rock Johnson has WONDERFULLY signed to this beautiful company.
The camera focuses on the monitor behind James, where we see headshots of all the new roster members.
Mia Nightingale
“Furious” Julius Fairweather
“The Gateway” Dylan Gates
“The Huntress” Amber Payne
“Puerto Rican Prince” Angel Ramirez
“ZT” Zack Tyler
Bruce McLeod

The view pans back out to show James still sitting in his chair, right next to the monitor, looking at it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: After Unbreakable Resolution, I am happy to see people still pouring in! The chaos, the destruction...the...just...wow...
The pictures fade out from the screen as James turns back around completely.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Enough of that for now, folks. Let’s take a look at the Social Media postings of our favorite Project Honor athletes!
A tweet from one-half of the Tag Team Champions, Shawn Warstein, appears on the screen
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn has not always been someone we here at The Edge have believed in. I think that changes now.

The Knox tweet fades away to one from John Nash Strader.

In a fade away, JNS’ tweet changes to one from Big Drop Productions.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: A little pet peeve of some in management, is the misspelling of Proving Ground when it is typed out by the Closed Caption brigade. But it seems even some of those within the company, get it slightly confused.
The tweet fades away to the Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: It's good to see our warriors intermingling with the fans. They are not above them, despite what some of them think.
PROJECT: HONOR PRESENTS:
DRAFT SHOW
LOCATION: Oracle Park (San Francisco, California)
DATE & TIME: 01/08/21 @ 8 PM EST
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: After talking to Rock Johnson, this might possibly be the last of the Elite Five nominations...as we might be increasing that number. I mean, we are moving to two separate shows and the roster is almost at fifty! So let’s get started with some Honorable Mentions first.
The Image changes on the monitor.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Hunter came onto the scene a couple shows ago and took down the X-Factor Champion, Indy Darling, in a two-out-of-three falls match. He nabbed his two pins and started his rise in the company. And then at Unbreakable Resolution, he outlasted nine other individuals in the chaos known as the Purge Match, to steal away that briefcase with the yet unknown prize. There is no telling how high the Straight Shooter gets.
The picture fades out to the second Honorable Mention of the night.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: While it is weird to see Zane all the way down in the Honorable Mentions, it means we have some new faces in the Elite Five. Zane lost at Unbreakable Resolution, falling just short of the Tag Team Titles. But loss hasn’t stopped her before.
Zane’s picture changes to another familiar face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Yet another odd sight. MYOJIN failed in his attempt to help Celestial Lovers gain gold, but he did accomplish the simple destruction of one Mr. Saint.
MYOJIN’s photo is replaced by the words ‘Elite 5: Number Five’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Here we are with our first new face to the list
Below her image are some stats: Last Match: w/Shawn Warstein defeated Celestial Lovers - Tag Team Tournament Finals, Record: 3-0, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: James and Shawn burned through the Tag Team Championship Tournament with reckless abandon. Now, he holds a title for his efforts. How come he isn’t further up this list? Because despite being three-and-oh and being half of the Tag Team Champions...all of those wins came in Tag matches. Yes, James has the ability to get himself onto the Elite Five. But, can he win without Shawn?
The words ‘Elite 5: Number Four’ replace the picture of James Raven.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Taking over at number four on our list...
Below his image are the stats: Last Match: Defeated Pyro - Legacy Gauntlet Match, Record 3-0, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Aiden has taken on everyone that has challenged him...and come out victorious. At Unbreakable Resolution he won his Legacy Gauntlet match for the brand new Legacy Championship. Now to see what comes next for the Aussie Wolf.
Reynolds’ photo fades out to the words ‘Elite 5: Number Three’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Another new name on our Elite Five.
A few stats appear below the picture: Last Match: Defeated Drago Santiago, Record 3-0, Movement Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Elena has continued to show us why we should never doubt her. At Unbreakable Resolution, she took out the PH newcomer Drago Santiago. At the Draft Show, she will have a chance to prove herself even more.
Fade to the words ‘Elite 5: Number Two’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And then there is someone who has been slowly creeping up the Project: Honor ladder.
Stats: Last Match: w/James Raven defeated Legacy - Tag Team Tournament Finals, Record 5-0, Movement: 2 Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn has quietly built himself an undefeated record that can only be rivaled by Dickie himself. Now, Shawn has Tag Team Gold around his waist and I’m sure he isn’t satisfied yet.
Shawn Warstein’s picture fades to the words ‘Elite 5: Number One’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And of course, at number one.
Stats: Last Match: Defeated Contessa Floran - Grand Championship Match , Record 8-1, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Dickie is the Grand Champion...still. With an eight-and-one record and undefeated in singles action, I can’t see why now would be the time to knock him down a peg. He still is the best Project: Honor has. But how long before Shawn Warstein challenges him for that place?
James smiles 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: I suspected changes for the Elite Five, in the last show. But wow, I am shocked by the amount of new names on our list.
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. So next, let’s take a look at…
Suddenly, James is interrupted by the appearance of a well-groomed man wearing a tuxedo. The man with the thin gray moustache has a microphone in his hand, and without an explanation for his arrival, he begins to make an introduction as if he were in an arena and not a studio.
WINSTON WINFIELD: Ladies and Gentlemen, The Edge with James Edgebrook and Alara Adams is proud to welcome a man that needs no introduction, and yet, that is exactly what I am here to provide. This man has made a living out of knocking out mother fuckers to his left and to his right. He stands at an impressive six foot three, with a couple of additional inches upon measuring that glorious hairstyle. He last weighed in at two hundred and forty-five pounds of lean muscle and grit. In some circles he is known as The Weatherman...The Shepherd of Lost Souls...and The Bad Mother Fucker. Tonight, he is your personal Back-Door Santa…he is “Festive and Furious”...Julius...Fairweather!
Julius then enters the picture, wearing his black suit and tie as he normally would, but also with a traditional Santa hat resting atop his afro. In addition to that, he has a small red sack slung over his shoulder.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Ho, Ho, (he pauses to give Alara Adams a sly wink), and hey ho. It’s everyone’s favorite mother fucker, here to spread a little Christmas cheer on this edition of The Edge! What up, James mother fucking Edgebrook?
Julius attempts to exchange a series of fist bumps with the host, who does his best to keep up but ultimately cannot find the rhythm.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Well I must say, this is an interesting surprise. Welcome to The Edge, Julius.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: That’s Mr. Fairweather to you, but Alara, you can call me “daddy”
Julius remains standing on the set as James deftly conjures up some questions for his unexpected guest.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I must say, Mr. Fairweather, that you made quite an impact at Unbreakable Resolution. Rumor has it that Rock Johnson has even demanded that Caden Young issue you with a fine for assaulting a fan?
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Hold up, mother fucker. The only fine we should be talking about right now is that fine piece of womanhood sitting next to you. And seeing how ‘tis the season to be a suave mother fucker, I’ve brought some gifts along with me!
Julius takes the red bag off his shoulder, pulls it open, and begins to search through its contents. After a few moments he pulls out a cell phone and reaches out to hand it to Alara.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Ladies first. It’s a little burner phone for when you’re up late on Christmas Eve and think of a last minute gift that Santa can slide into your stocking. And don’t you worry, Santa’s number is already programmed in there…
Alara takes the gift with a somewhat perplexed expression.
ALARA: Um...thank you?
JULIUS FARIWEATHER: You are welcome, momma. You are always welcome, if you know what I mean. But Santa’s not done yet! I couldn’t help but hear James mother fucking Edgebrook mention a one Mr. Caden Young. Santa’s got a little something for his twitchy ass too!
Julius reaches back into his bag, eventually pulling out a JUUL e-cigarette. With Caden Young not present, he hands it over to James.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Now I’m gonna trust you to make sure that gets in Caden’s shaky little hands. It has Santa’s special blend already loaded and ready to go. And Edgebrook... (Julius gives the host that bulging stare we saw right before he knocked out Brad from Denver)...I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger if my thoughtful gift doesn’t reach its rightful owner. We cool?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Uh...yeah...of course. Nothing but cool here, but I have to ask, is this a bribe to get out of your fine?
With a very angry look, Julius immediately digs back into his bag, ultimately pulling out what appears to be a Glock, and points it right at James Edgebrook.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Say that again, mother fucker! Say that again, I dare you! I double dare you!
James pushes his chair back in a momentary panic, throwing up his hands and stammering uncontrollably.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Whoa! Holy shit! Just...just...wait a minute! I-I-I…
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: I'm gonna shove this mother fucker up your pale ass like it's a Christmas goose and pull the trigger until is says Happy Hanukkah, mother fucker!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: No! No, please!
At that moment, Julius pulls the trigger, and a Nerf dart blasts from the toy gun, its suction tip hitting James squarely between the eyes and sticking in place. After this very tense few seconds, Julius beams with a wide smile once again.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Ha ha! Mother fucker, you should have seen the look on your face! The name is Fairweather, not Strader, you nervous little shit! But don’t worry, James, because with all the jokes aside, I’ve got a gift for you too! Are you ready for your gift, mother fucker?
With the dart still stuck to his forehead, James does his best to calm his nerves and reply.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I...uh...yes...yes I think so...just...um...maybe put it on the desk over there…
With his smile still beaming, Julius reaches back into his big red sack. This time, he pulls out what appears to be a board game. Upon closer inspection, we see that it is the official special edition of Project: Honor’s version of Clue. Julius slides it onto the desk as James looks at it from a distance.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: If there’s one thing you need, mother fucker, it’s a goddamn clue. And do you know what this clue says, James?
JAMES EDGEBROOKE: I...uh...no...I honestly have no idea.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Well, other than saying that it was Colton Saint in the parking lot with a nightstick, this mother fucker says that “Furious” Julius Fairweather had the best goddamn segment of the night. So...we cool?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Oh...oh yeah...we cool…
Julius slings the red sack back over his shoulder and nods his head with a smile.
JULIUS FAIRWEATHER: Now that’s what I like to hear, mother fucker.
And with that, he gives Alara one more wink before turning away and leaving the set.
ALARA ADAMS: Well now. That was interesting.
An image of James Edgebrook appears on the monitor behind them. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Week: 4-6, Overall: 20-23”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Last Week: 4-6, Overall: 17-11”
Both images fade out to show the words ‘Project Honor: Draft Show - 01/08/2021 / ’ Oracle Park, San Francisco, California’ appear on the screen.
ALARA ADAMS: Neither of us had good weeks, did we?
Alara shakes her head, looking at her record
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Unbreakable Resolution brought forth a lot of unknowns, which is obvious by our sub-five hundred picks.
ALARA ADAMS: Well At least you got to twenty first.
[
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Dex made a statement in the Purge Match, making it to third place. On the other side, we saw Drago roll in and lose to Elene DeDraca. With that being said, I think Dex gets one in the win column.
ALARA ADAMS: I’ve heard of Drago prior to this. He is not your normal type of man. And honestly, the match with Elena could have been a fluke. I’m
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Contessa almost walked out of Unbreakable Resolution with the Grand Championship. I’m sure she is more than motivated to walk out of California with the Legacy Gauntlet win.
ALARA ADAMS: I will have to agree with you. Mia is new to Project: Honor...and I don’t know if she has it in her to take out a pissed off Contessa.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I simply can not doubt Shawn anymore. Shawn Warstein walks away with the win.
ALARA ADAMS: Elite Number Two versus Elite Number Three...what a match! I’ll go out on a limb and cry out girl power, Elena DeDraca walks out of the Draft with that Legacy Gauntlet victory under her lacey belt.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Not sure how THIS match is above Shawn and Elena, but more power to Rock Johnson. I think MYOJIN gets back into the Elite Five with a win here.
ALARA ADAMS: Without hearing or seeing much of Kat Jones yet, I will have to side with MYOJIN as well.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One who says he is Drip, one who tries to show he is Drip, and one who IS Drip. Dickie continues to roll in singles competition.
ALARA ADAMS: Dickie goes nine-and-one. No contest.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Well this is a short show, due to the Draft and the Awards. So thank you for coming back today, Alara.
ALARA ADAMS: You are welcome!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And we will see you all when we return with the Medals of Honor!!!
We cut to see James Edgebrook now stands in front of the lone monitor/screen once again
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thanks for coming back to see me. Our final segment of the night is when we hand out some of that beautiful Medal of Honor hardware.
[/div]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. After digging through hours of footage from the promotional material our people put out for Unbreakable Resolution...I have come to a conclusion.
A picture of Dickie Watson appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Dickie brought it with ‘Unsainted’ this week. He had one hell of a match up ahead of him with Contessa Floran...and he showed us all why he thought he still deserved to be Champion. And then he proceeded to go out to that ring and show us why he IS still Champion!
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: With a plethora of wonderful segments...I am a stickler for ones that change the direction of Project: Honor.
A picture of Caden Young and the Legacy Championship Title appear under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Caden came out and explained to us all, just how Rock Johnson wanted to hand out the Legacy Championship. Multiple people, both brands, Legacy Chamber. ‘Nough said.
Caden’s picture fades away, replaced by the the words ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Easy
A picture of MYOJIN and Colton Saint appear underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: In the culmination of a war that started months ago, MYOJIN finally put the feud to an end. Now with Colton gone, can MYOJIN rest easy?
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of MYOJIN and Colton.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Again, I had so much to choose from. But one thing stood out for me.
The monitor starts to show footage from Proving Ground.
Mark Hunter enters into the building, ignoring the sign in front...but now noticing all the letters and packages sitting around. He bends down and grabs Josiah Andrew Scott, standing him to his feet. Quickly rocking him with a right hook of his own, Josiah stumbles back up against a back wall. Without thought, Mark begins grabbing the boxes and packages laying around, throwing them at Josiah to confuse him.
MARK HUNTER: Instant Karma-time, bitch!
Mark Hunter pulls back and unleashes MASSIVE superkick…
The crowd explodes.
KAYDEN ELLIS: HOLY SHIT!!!
A hand has grabbed ahold of Mark’s foot, before it could connect with JAS. The camera pans out to show who it is.
KAYDEN ELLIS: IT’S PAT THE POSTMAN!!! WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE IN ST. ELMO?!?!
PAT THE POSTMAN: This is a FEDERAL place of business. What you have done to these boxes is a TRAVESTY!
Pat pushes Mark’s foot away, causing him to spin around. Before he could turn back to confront Pat, The Postman had grabbed both Hunter and Scott by their shirt collars.
PAT THE POSTMAN: I will NOT have you defiling ANYMORE of this Post Office.
Pat carries them both the door and tosses them both out onto the street. Both Mark and Josiah turn and look at the Post Office, only to see Pat slam the door shut.
MARK HUNTER: What the hell?
JOSIAH ANDREW SCOTT: You’re guess is as good as mine.
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’ and has a picture of Pat The Postman next to it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Pat defended the Post Office! No one shall defile the great institute of the US Postal Service!
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I heard the talking in the back and it swayed my own voting.
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ appears a picture of a green Purge mask.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: St. Elmo, Colorado...home of Project: Honor’s first ever Purge Match. We saw broken noses, chunks of wood shoved through people, and a really bad man become a polar bear snack. If this is Fallout’s first attempt at getting our attention, I’m scared to see what else is going on in the mind of Christian DeMarco.
‘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 and James Raven appears on the screen behind James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: In an unprecedented move, I am awarding the Medal of Honor to BOTH Warstein and Raven. They fought through great lengths and one hell of a talented Celestial Lovers to be crowned PH’s Inaugural Tag Team Champions. Shawn and James walked out of Unbreakable Resolution with those bright shiny new titles. After all, who doesn’t love the bright shiny new thing...amiright?
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Unbreakable Resolution was a BEAUTIFUL way to end Season One of Project: Honor. With The Draft now ahead of us to start off our second Season, the sky's the limit. Are you ready for The Draft? For Proving Ground? For Fallout? For...The Crowning?
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: This has been The Edge, with me...James Edgebrook. Good night, God Bless, and Happy Holidays!!!
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.
