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 Drago Santiago hitting Dex Griffin with a DDT onto a large pile of legos.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to a video of Contessa Floran hitting Mia Nightingale with a suplex that takes both of them over the ropes and through some tables on the outside of the ring.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Switch to a video of Elena DeDraca, chained to Shawn Warstein, slapping the fourth turnbuckle to win her chance at the Legacy Championship.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to a video of MYOJIN standing on top of a ladder, holding up the Legacy Gauntlet contract.
Finally a video of Indy Darling hitting TJ Thompson with Clive’s Dive to win the Championship Showcase!
It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!
The picture of Indy Darling standing to his feet victorious, hangs for a moment. It slowly fades to black, before coming to a live feed showing James Edgebrook sitting behind the usual silver desk. Dressed in a white dress shirt, his beard is pulled together with green and blue hair-ties. The words ‘THE EDGE’ shine on the monitor behind him. With the usual silver set around him, the music slowly fades out.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: HOW ’BOUT THAT DRAFT SHOW?!?!?! Wow, I’m still floored! And now, after seeing the roster being split between two brands...I’m excited. BUT FIRST...
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the screen behind him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ...as usual, we need to take a look at some of the talent Rock Johnson has signed to Project: Honor!
The camera focuses on the monitor behind James, where we see headshots of all the new roster members.
We pan out to show James sitting in his chair, a smile on his face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m still amazed at the amount of talent that keeps coming through those doors. And now with two rosters to fill out, we keep on getting bigger. The question now arises...how soon will we require a third brand?
The monitor behind James goes blank.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Now that we’ve caught up on some of our new talent, let’s see some of what our massive roster is talking about on social media!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: How can we start this segment off without highlighting the fact that one of Fallout’s own, got himself SUSPENDED from Twitter? Yikes.
Fade to a new tweet.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: John Nash Strader out there trying to make sure that both Proving Ground and Fallout alike, stick together and realize we are part of a BIGGER picture.
Fade out again, to a tweet from Tag Team Champion Shawn Warstein.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Then we have Warstein out there, throwing darts at the Grand Champion. Yeah, he didn’t say a name. But given what he said...do you think it’s anyone else?
Shawn’s tweet switches to one from MYOJIN.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Meanwhile, MYOJIN is out there pointing people in the right direction!
The MYOJIN tweet fades away to one final one from Kayla Richards
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Finally, why not end on a tweet from one of Project: Honor’s newest acquisitions. Yeah, she has been on the roster for awhile, but due to Unbreakable Resolution, the holiday season, and then the Draft Show...it has taken quite awhile for her to get her first match on the cards. But now that she has that in her sights, it seems she not only thinks less of Project: Honor itself...but of some of its inhabitants.
The tweet fades away to the Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I love seeing the social media interaction from our roster. We know that we need the fans to stay relevant. And with that, we will be right back!
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: Starting on our next show, this will be changing to the Elite Seven. With two shows, five just seems like such a small number. But, until those shows air separately...we will stay with five. But as usual, let’s start with an Honorable Mention
The Image changes on the monitor.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We only have one Honorable Mention tonight, as we didn’t have too much happen at the Draft Show. And unfortunately, that Honorable Mention, was sitting pretty at number five during our last show. But given that he did not compete...he did slide a little. But, if this was in a few weeks...he would still be considered Elite. Let’s see how he shows up at Proving Ground next week.
James Raven’s photo is replaced by the words ‘Elite 5: Number Five’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We start our list off with a new face within the Elite Five!
Last Match: Defeated Dickie Watson & TJ Thompson - Triple Threat Champion Showcase, Record: 3-4, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: It may have taken Mr. Darling some time to get rid of those nervous legs of his, starting out in a not-so-great fashion here in Project: Honor. But it seems a fire was lit underneath him the moment he took on Colton Saint and ripped the X-Factor Title from his clammy hands. Now, Indy can say he has a singles match win over the Grand Champion himself...not something anyone else can say. Yeah, he may have pinned TJ Thompson for the win...but a loss is a loss is a loss is a loss.
The words ‘Elite 5: Number Four’ replace the picture of Indy Darling
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Rising back up in the world is one of my personal favorites...
Last Match: Defeated Kat Jones - Legacy Gauntlet Match, Record 10-3, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: After going one-and-one at Unbreakable Resolution, coupled with some high-profile wins by others, MYOJIN fell out of our list at the last show. But after defeating Kat Jones at the Draft Show, he earned his way to the Legacy Championship Match and secured his place at The Crowning. Also, MYOJIN now can hold his head up high and proclaim to be the FIRST person in Project: Honor history with ten wins. What an accomplishment!
MYOJIN’s photo fades out to the words ‘Elite 5: Number Three’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: After one heck of a battle at the Draft Show, this next person slipped just a hair.
Last Match: Lost to Elena DeDraca - Legacy Gauntlet Match, Record 5-1, Movement 1 Down.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Yes, Shawn felt his first loss...but it was one hell of a match. Elena had to make Warstein unconscious before she could touch all four corners. He only fell one spot due to the nature of the event AND the talent he possesses. Now, let’s see if he can pick himself back up...dust himself off...and find a way to grab that number one spot!
Fade to the words ‘Elite 5: Number Two’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And now to someone who continues their climb up the ladder.
Last Match: Defeated Shawn Warstein - Legacy Gauntlet Match, Record 4-0, Movement: 1 Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Elena stepped into the Draft Show and earned her way into the Legacy Gauntlet at the Crowning. And at four-and-oh...she has definitely earned the number two spot on our list. And besides being the number one overall draft pick...she is the ONLY Fallout member to appear on the Elite Five. She may have some people join her next show...but for now...she stands alone.
Shawn Warstein’s picture fades to the words ‘Elite 5: Number One’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And the boring spot. Holding on to the top spot for the sixth show in a row...
Last Match: Lost to Indy Darling - Triple Threat Champion Showcase , Record 8-2, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Yeah, Dickie lost. But technically, he was not pinned. And in those two losses on his record...he did not eat the pin himself in either of them. And right now as Grand Champion...he deserves the top spot still. But the Prime Championship is coming...the LEGACY Championship is coming. Will Dickie still hold on to this top spot? Can the Grand Champion stay the Grandest in the Land?
James gives a corny smile 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 don’t know about you, but I’m excited to see the shows next week and to see how the Elite SEVEN will look.
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, everybody. In our final chance at this, I have brought back Alara Adams for one last shot at this. I am still trying to iron out the details for future predictions. I want to pull a random staff member or random wrestler in, to do predictions each show. But while we have her for at least one more show, WELCOME BACK...Alara Adams.
ALARA ADAMS: It’s a bittersweet moment, James. I’ve enjoyed our time together.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: You just enjoyed kicking my butt in predictions each show.
Alara smiles and winks.
ALARA ADAMS: That too!
An image of James Edgebrook appears on the monitor behind them. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Week: 0-4, Overall: 20-27”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Last Week: 3-1, Overall: 20-12”
Both images fade out to show the words ‘Fallout - 01/28/2021 / Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada’ appear on the screen.
ALARA ADAMS: With two shows and SO many matches...it seems in our final week together here, one of us has the opportunity to get thirty correct predictions!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Probably going to be you. I went oh-and-four last show! It’s ridiculous.
ALARA ADAMS: So then how about we get to these matches and see who can accomplish that!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We’ve seen the animosity Julius brings to the ring when he is NOT fighting. I know Bruce has a good history, but I can’t...you know what...FUCK it...I’m picking Bruce McLeod! Fuck The F Word!
ALARA ADAMS: Are you TRYING to call him back to your show? I think Julius has this in the bag.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: More new folks stepping into our ring. I’ve heard rumors about all of them...and given that this is Fallout Rules...I don’t see Sara surviving too long. So between Zack and Kayla...I’ll have to side with Zack. I’ve heard greater things about him.
ALARA ADAMS: That’s because Kayla hasn’t had the chance to impress us yet. You watch...Kayla walks out of this with the win, easily.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We watched Eli fight in the Purge Match at Unbreakable Resolution, even eliminating Seth Blackheart. I think he will do the same here, notching his first Project: Honor victory.
ALARA ADAMS: I want to go girl power here, as usual...but I just haven’t seen enough from Amber. We know what Eli brings to the table and we watched it basically take him falling off the top of a building to get stopped at the Purge. Eli walks into Fallout and gets the win.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Now to the televised matches. These two have a combined three wins between them...all of them coming from Daniel Horror. And with that...I think he earns his fourth win.
ALARA ADAMS: You see, my money is on my General Manager’s assistant here. I think Arik finally gets his first win and screams...well...opens his mouth wide...in victory
JAMES EDGEBROOK: SEX versus two beautiful women. I want to go for the muscles and flash...but we have seen what Two Toned Mafia can do. I think they pull off a close one.
ALARA ADAMS: Another case of me wanting to pull the girl power card...but did you see Spacelord? Did you see Terry Marshall? It’s going to take a TRUCK to stop those two. And despite all the talent that Lucy and Cecilia have...I’m not sure if it’s enough combined, to take out Sports Entertainment Xpress.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Kasey.
ALARA ADAMS: No explanation?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Nope, Kasey.
ALARA ADAMS: Well, while you don’t want to explain yourself beyond a possible love for red hair...this match is huge. You’ve got Victoria who did a hell of a job at the Purge Match, Kasey as the former Grand Championship contender, and Ma-...Jason Long providing us with a chance to see what he can do when he’s not wearing a Purge mask. I think all three of them will make this interesting...but I think Victoria manages to pull out the victory in this one.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Contessa is probably still reeling from the Unbreakable Resolution match and that double count-out at the Draft Show. Drago is a demon dressed in a man-suit. I’ve...I’ve heard things. Drago for the win.
ALARA ADAMS: I have heard rumors in the back that Contessa really isn’t ready to come back after those matches. I also heard rumors that Christian DeMarco was thinking about using his number one pick on her, but there was too much residual damage, both physical and mental, from her past couple outings. I’m hoping she pulls out of it and gets her way back to the top, but I don’t think she will do it against Drago.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Two men who have had multiple weeks to reflect on poor Unbreakable Resolution showings. One looks like he smells like burning wood and plastic, the other looks like he smells like denim and stale cigarettes. I think...hmmm...I’ll have to go with John Nash Strader on this one.
ALARA ADAMS: Both are IMMENSELY talented. But while JNS lost an X-Factor Championship Match...Pyro lost a chance at the Legacy Title. While I think JNS has more to prove...I think Pyro is probably a lot more angry at his lost opportunity. Plus, we’re not even talking about the fact that they agreed upon a friggin’ INFERNO MATCH!!! Pyro’s playground! Pyro with the win.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I'm so curious and excited to see the match-type that gets spun for this match. These two just kind of went head-to-head at Unbreakable Resolution...and Knox came out the victor. I don’t think that will change. Matthew Knox moves on to the Legacy Gauntlet.
ALARA ADAMS: Dex is one hell of a man-meat. But I agree. Knox is not going to let this opportunity pass him up...and there’s no one to double-knot a briefcase this time.
The Fallout Match image fades to show the words ‘Proving Ground - 01/29/2021 / Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, Ontario, Canada’ appear on the screen.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And our first Dark Match for Proving Ground! Seth is the only one that we have seen under the PH banner...while the other two are still semi-new. I’m going with Seth.
ALARA ADAMS: I think I’ll have to stick with Seth as well.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: What a way to start the show. I can’t get that image of Pat protecting the St Elmo post office, out of my head. With that, Pat for the win.
ALARA ADAMS: Normally I would agree...but have you seen Ozymandias? That man makes me weak in the knees...and not for the good reasons. Ozy pulls out the win over St. Elmo’s savior.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Mmm, Ms. Chase. I am happy to see her get away from Colton. I think she gets the win here.
ALARA ADAMS: Put it back in your pants. I’m going to pick Kim as well, but only because A) She has Ramesses with her and I don’t see them letting her loose...and B) I think Lil’ Petey’s feelings might get involved here.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Our only title match between both shows...and even though Alex Slayer got his first win a few shows ago...I don’t think he has the ability to pull the title from the freshly crowned Warrior Rising Champion. Plus...how can TJ lose that title the moment after Big Drip celebrates it?
ALARA ADAMS: I agree with you...again. While Alex Slayer may have the talent to do it, I think TJ will be running high of adrenaline from their pre-match title celebration. I think TJ wins...unless he dabbles too much in the pre-match lean.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Been awhile since we’ve seen Euan. But here he gets a chance to prove his worth against The Dragon Lady. Hmmm, I’m going to see Euan pulls it off.
ALARA ADAMS: Seeing Euan makes me think of Lazerus and misses the idea of him competing on Fallout. But, I don’t think his little protege fairs well here. Something gives me creepy vibes about The Dragon Lady. I think she finds her way into the Legacy Gauntlet.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is going to be one hell of a barn burner. We have the number three, number four, AND the number five individuals from the Elite Five. Someone has to win...someone has to have nothing to do with the outcome...and someone has to lose.
ALARA ADAMS: Great observation, Captain Obvious.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m just saying, that this match has major ramifications on all three individuals. And continuing with everything...I still can’t pick against Shawn. Warstein with the victory.
ALARA ADAMS: While Shawn has had an impressive run through Project: Honor...MYOJIN has had more individual success, even if he is still titleless. Plus you have the X-Factor Champion...RIGHT...THERE. Damn, um...MYOJIN. But it’s not going to be easy.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Can you really go against Dickie? The Commonwealth with the win.
ALARA ADAMS: Yes, I can. Hunter and Ramesses work together to take down Reynolds and Watson.
The monitor behind the two of them, goes back to The Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Wow. Seven matches on Proving Ground, nine on Fallout. A total of sixteen matches, with twelve of them available for our at home viewers to enjoy! What a great time to be a Project: Honor fan! Thank you for being here, Alara. I hope we can have you back as a guest again, one day.
ALARA ADAMS: It would be a pleasure.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: As for you viewers, stick around. Next up...the Medals of Honor!!!
We cut to see James Edgebrook now stands in front of the lone monitor/screen once again.
JAMES EDGEBROOK:Welcome back! LEt’s get right to the Medal of Honor show awards.
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 the previous show. Wasn’t too much material to search for with only a handful of matches, but I think I narrowed it down to one.
A picture of Indy Darling appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: A nice walk through the Christmas Carol, gave us all a gift that kept giving until Indy pinned TJ. Can’t pass up that beauty!
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: As I have said, I like the segments that change Project: Honor. Yes, I like the funny ones. Yes, I like the interesting ones. But when the direction of PH is changed in the process, I am just a sucker. And while I wanted to give this to Caden for his Draft introduction and award ceremony...I couldn’t get past Rock Johnson’s opening speech.
A picture of Rock Johnson sitting at the announcing table appears under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: He got us hyped. He got us ready. He prepared us for the night...and the season...that was to come. I was PUMPED!
Johnson’s picture fades away, replaced by the words ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Easy
A picture of Lil’ Petey and Kimberly Chase appear underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Lil’ Petey wants it...Kimberly isn’t ready to give it away...yet.
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of Petey and Kimberly.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Multiple matches. Multiple special matches. Only one winner.
The monitor starts to show footage from Proving Ground.
Dickie pushes Thompson to the ropes as he rebounds but Thompson is able to twist it around for the Sling Blade! For Your Own Good! Thompson is then quickly caught with the Everyone's Favorite Kick by Indy as he tries to lock in the Anaconda Vice, looking to bring Thompson down to the mat but Thompson goes under the arm of Indy and spins him around, but Dickie looks to attempt something but he's hit with the legs of Indy as Thompson spins him into-- INDY HITS THE CANADIAN DESTROYER! AND THOMPSON IS SPIKED INTO THE MAT WITH THE DESTROYER! THOMPSON ROLLS ONTO HIS FEET AND INDY PICKS UP THOMPSON FOR EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE DRIVER! THE MICHINOKU DRIVER SPIKES THOMPSON! INDY GOES UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND LEAPS... CLIVE'S DIVE! CLIVE'S DIVE! CLIVE'S DIVE! THE HOOK OF THE LEGS!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
TREY BOOKER: INDY GOT IT!
DING! DING! DING!
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’ and has a picture of Indy Darling next to it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Indy hands Dickie Watson his first singles loss, even though TJ was pinned...how can you not hand it to him? Everyone’s Favorite Kick...Everyone’s Favorite Driver. BEAUTIFUL!!!
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And to add to that...
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ appears the words ‘Champion Showcase’ and pictures of Indy Darling, Dickie Watson, and TJ Thompson.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: All three singles Champions standing in a ring together. Each of them competing to be top dog for the Draft Night and able to carry that chip on their shoulder. OF COURSE it would be the match of the night.
‘The words ‘Medal Of Honor’ replace the ‘Match of the Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And to continue that thought...
A picture of Indy Darling appears on the screen behind James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: He won the Champion Showcase, handing a defeat to not only the other two Champions of Proving Ground, but to the top man in the company! That earns you THEE Medal of Honor. It has to.
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: What a ride for season one and what a wonderful way to bring in season two. Now are you ready for two brands? Are you ready for two shows?
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 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 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 Drago Santiago hitting Dex Griffin with a DDT onto a large pile of legos.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to a video of Contessa Floran hitting Mia Nightingale with a suplex that takes both of them over the ropes and through some tables on the outside of the ring.

Finally a video of Indy Darling hitting TJ Thompson with Clive’s Dive to win the Championship Showcase!
It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!

PROJECT: HONOR PRESENTS:
FALLOUT
LOCATION: Bell Centre (Montreal, Quebec, Canada)
DATE & TIME: 1/28/21 @ 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: Starting on our next show, this will be changing to the Elite Seven. With two shows, five just seems like such a small number. But, until those shows air separately...we will stay with five. But as usual, let’s start with an Honorable Mention

JAMES EDGEBROOK: Rising back up in the world is one of my personal favorites...
Last Match: Defeated Kat Jones - Legacy Gauntlet Match, Record 10-3, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: After going one-and-one at Unbreakable Resolution, coupled with some high-profile wins by others, MYOJIN fell out of our list at the last show. But after defeating Kat Jones at the Draft Show, he earned his way to the Legacy Championship Match and secured his place at The Crowning. Also, MYOJIN now can hold his head up high and proclaim to be the FIRST person in Project: Honor history with ten wins. What an accomplishment!
MYOJIN’s photo fades out to the words ‘Elite 5: Number Three’.

JAMES EDGEBROOK: Elena stepped into the Draft Show and earned her way into the Legacy Gauntlet at the Crowning. And at four-and-oh...she has definitely earned the number two spot on our list. And besides being the number one overall draft pick...she is the ONLY Fallout member to appear on the Elite Five. She may have some people join her next show...but for now...she stands alone.
Shawn Warstein’s picture fades to the words ‘Elite 5: Number One’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And the boring spot. Holding on to the top spot for the sixth show in a row...
Last Match: Lost to Indy Darling - Triple Threat Champion Showcase , Record 8-2, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Yeah, Dickie lost. But technically, he was not pinned. And in those two losses on his record...he did not eat the pin himself in either of them. And right now as Grand Champion...he deserves the top spot still. But the Prime Championship is coming...the LEGACY Championship is coming. Will Dickie still hold on to this top spot? Can the Grand Champion stay the Grandest in the Land?
James gives a corny smile 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 don’t know about you, but I’m excited to see the shows next week and to see how the Elite SEVEN will look.
------------------------------------- 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, everybody. In our final chance at this, I have brought back Alara Adams for one last shot at this. I am still trying to iron out the details for future predictions. I want to pull a random staff member or random wrestler in, to do predictions each show. But while we have her for at least one more show, WELCOME BACK...Alara Adams.
ALARA ADAMS: It’s a bittersweet moment, James. I’ve enjoyed our time together.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: You just enjoyed kicking my butt in predictions each show.
Alara smiles and winks.
ALARA ADAMS: That too!
An image of James Edgebrook appears on the monitor behind them. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Week: 0-4, Overall: 20-27”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Last Week: 3-1, Overall: 20-12”
Both images fade out to show the words ‘Fallout - 01/28/2021 / Bell Centre, Montreal, Quebec, Canada’ appear on the screen.
ALARA ADAMS: With two shows and SO many matches...it seems in our final week together here, one of us has the opportunity to get thirty correct predictions!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Probably going to be you. I went oh-and-four last show! It’s ridiculous.
ALARA ADAMS: So then how about we get to these matches and see who can accomplish that!
DARK MATCH: Bruce McLeod vs. Julius Fairweather
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We’ve seen the animosity Julius brings to the ring when he is NOT fighting. I know Bruce has a good history, but I can’t...you know what...FUCK it...I’m picking Bruce McLeod! Fuck The F Word!
ALARA ADAMS: Are you TRYING to call him back to your show? I think Julius has this in the bag.
DARK MATCH: Zack Tyler vs. Sara Cross vs. Kayla Richards
JAMES EDGEBROOK: More new folks stepping into our ring. I’ve heard rumors about all of them...and given that this is Fallout Rules...I don’t see Sara surviving too long. So between Zack and Kayla...I’ll have to side with Zack. I’ve heard greater things about him.
ALARA ADAMS: That’s because Kayla hasn’t had the chance to impress us yet. You watch...Kayla walks out of this with the win, easily.
DARK MATCH: Amber Payne vs. Eli Atlas
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We watched Eli fight in the Purge Match at Unbreakable Resolution, even eliminating Seth Blackheart. I think he will do the same here, notching his first Project: Honor victory.
ALARA ADAMS: I want to go girl power here, as usual...but I just haven’t seen enough from Amber. We know what Eli brings to the table and we watched it basically take him falling off the top of a building to get stopped at the Purge. Eli walks into Fallout and gets the win.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Now to the televised matches. These two have a combined three wins between them...all of them coming from Daniel Horror. And with that...I think he earns his fourth win.
ALARA ADAMS: You see, my money is on my General Manager’s assistant here. I think Arik finally gets his first win and screams...well...opens his mouth wide...in victory
JAMES EDGEBROOK: SEX versus two beautiful women. I want to go for the muscles and flash...but we have seen what Two Toned Mafia can do. I think they pull off a close one.
ALARA ADAMS: Another case of me wanting to pull the girl power card...but did you see Spacelord? Did you see Terry Marshall? It’s going to take a TRUCK to stop those two. And despite all the talent that Lucy and Cecilia have...I’m not sure if it’s enough combined, to take out Sports Entertainment Xpress.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Kasey.
ALARA ADAMS: No explanation?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Nope, Kasey.
ALARA ADAMS: Well, while you don’t want to explain yourself beyond a possible love for red hair...this match is huge. You’ve got Victoria who did a hell of a job at the Purge Match, Kasey as the former Grand Championship contender, and Ma-...Jason Long providing us with a chance to see what he can do when he’s not wearing a Purge mask. I think all three of them will make this interesting...but I think Victoria manages to pull out the victory in this one.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Contessa is probably still reeling from the Unbreakable Resolution match and that double count-out at the Draft Show. Drago is a demon dressed in a man-suit. I’ve...I’ve heard things. Drago for the win.
ALARA ADAMS: I have heard rumors in the back that Contessa really isn’t ready to come back after those matches. I also heard rumors that Christian DeMarco was thinking about using his number one pick on her, but there was too much residual damage, both physical and mental, from her past couple outings. I’m hoping she pulls out of it and gets her way back to the top, but I don’t think she will do it against Drago.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Two men who have had multiple weeks to reflect on poor Unbreakable Resolution showings. One looks like he smells like burning wood and plastic, the other looks like he smells like denim and stale cigarettes. I think...hmmm...I’ll have to go with John Nash Strader on this one.
ALARA ADAMS: Both are IMMENSELY talented. But while JNS lost an X-Factor Championship Match...Pyro lost a chance at the Legacy Title. While I think JNS has more to prove...I think Pyro is probably a lot more angry at his lost opportunity. Plus, we’re not even talking about the fact that they agreed upon a friggin’ INFERNO MATCH!!! Pyro’s playground! Pyro with the win.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I'm so curious and excited to see the match-type that gets spun for this match. These two just kind of went head-to-head at Unbreakable Resolution...and Knox came out the victor. I don’t think that will change. Matthew Knox moves on to the Legacy Gauntlet.
ALARA ADAMS: Dex is one hell of a man-meat. But I agree. Knox is not going to let this opportunity pass him up...and there’s no one to double-knot a briefcase this time.
The Fallout Match image fades to show the words ‘Proving Ground - 01/29/2021 / Scotiabank Arena, Toronto, Ontario, Canada’ appear on the screen.
DARK MATCH: Seth Blackheart vs. Angel Ramirez vs. Dylan Gates
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And our first Dark Match for Proving Ground! Seth is the only one that we have seen under the PH banner...while the other two are still semi-new. I’m going with Seth.
ALARA ADAMS: I think I’ll have to stick with Seth as well.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: What a way to start the show. I can’t get that image of Pat protecting the St Elmo post office, out of my head. With that, Pat for the win.
ALARA ADAMS: Normally I would agree...but have you seen Ozymandias? That man makes me weak in the knees...and not for the good reasons. Ozy pulls out the win over St. Elmo’s savior.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Mmm, Ms. Chase. I am happy to see her get away from Colton. I think she gets the win here.
ALARA ADAMS: Put it back in your pants. I’m going to pick Kim as well, but only because A) She has Ramesses with her and I don’t see them letting her loose...and B) I think Lil’ Petey’s feelings might get involved here.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Our only title match between both shows...and even though Alex Slayer got his first win a few shows ago...I don’t think he has the ability to pull the title from the freshly crowned Warrior Rising Champion. Plus...how can TJ lose that title the moment after Big Drip celebrates it?
ALARA ADAMS: I agree with you...again. While Alex Slayer may have the talent to do it, I think TJ will be running high of adrenaline from their pre-match title celebration. I think TJ wins...unless he dabbles too much in the pre-match lean.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Been awhile since we’ve seen Euan. But here he gets a chance to prove his worth against The Dragon Lady. Hmmm, I’m going to see Euan pulls it off.
ALARA ADAMS: Seeing Euan makes me think of Lazerus and misses the idea of him competing on Fallout. But, I don’t think his little protege fairs well here. Something gives me creepy vibes about The Dragon Lady. I think she finds her way into the Legacy Gauntlet.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is going to be one hell of a barn burner. We have the number three, number four, AND the number five individuals from the Elite Five. Someone has to win...someone has to have nothing to do with the outcome...and someone has to lose.
ALARA ADAMS: Great observation, Captain Obvious.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m just saying, that this match has major ramifications on all three individuals. And continuing with everything...I still can’t pick against Shawn. Warstein with the victory.
ALARA ADAMS: While Shawn has had an impressive run through Project: Honor...MYOJIN has had more individual success, even if he is still titleless. Plus you have the X-Factor Champion...RIGHT...THERE. Damn, um...MYOJIN. But it’s not going to be easy.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Can you really go against Dickie? The Commonwealth with the win.
ALARA ADAMS: Yes, I can. Hunter and Ramesses work together to take down Reynolds and Watson.
The monitor behind the two of them, goes back to The Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Wow. Seven matches on Proving Ground, nine on Fallout. A total of sixteen matches, with twelve of them available for our at home viewers to enjoy! What a great time to be a Project: Honor fan! Thank you for being here, Alara. I hope we can have you back as a guest again, one day.
ALARA ADAMS: It would be a pleasure.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: As for you viewers, stick around. Next up...the Medals of Honor!!!
We cut to see James Edgebrook now stands in front of the lone monitor/screen once again.
JAMES EDGEBROOK:Welcome back! LEt’s get right to the Medal of Honor show awards.
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 the previous show. Wasn’t too much material to search for with only a handful of matches, but I think I narrowed it down to one.
A picture of Indy Darling appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: A nice walk through the Christmas Carol, gave us all a gift that kept giving until Indy pinned TJ. Can’t pass up that beauty!
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: As I have said, I like the segments that change Project: Honor. Yes, I like the funny ones. Yes, I like the interesting ones. But when the direction of PH is changed in the process, I am just a sucker. And while I wanted to give this to Caden for his Draft introduction and award ceremony...I couldn’t get past Rock Johnson’s opening speech.
A picture of Rock Johnson sitting at the announcing table appears under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: He got us hyped. He got us ready. He prepared us for the night...and the season...that was to come. I was PUMPED!
Johnson’s picture fades away, replaced by the words ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Easy
A picture of Lil’ Petey and Kimberly Chase appear underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Lil’ Petey wants it...Kimberly isn’t ready to give it away...yet.
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of Petey and Kimberly.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Multiple matches. Multiple special matches. Only one winner.
The monitor starts to show footage from Proving Ground.
Dickie pushes Thompson to the ropes as he rebounds but Thompson is able to twist it around for the Sling Blade! For Your Own Good! Thompson is then quickly caught with the Everyone's Favorite Kick by Indy as he tries to lock in the Anaconda Vice, looking to bring Thompson down to the mat but Thompson goes under the arm of Indy and spins him around, but Dickie looks to attempt something but he's hit with the legs of Indy as Thompson spins him into-- INDY HITS THE CANADIAN DESTROYER! AND THOMPSON IS SPIKED INTO THE MAT WITH THE DESTROYER! THOMPSON ROLLS ONTO HIS FEET AND INDY PICKS UP THOMPSON FOR EVERYONE'S FAVOURITE DRIVER! THE MICHINOKU DRIVER SPIKES THOMPSON! INDY GOES UP TO THE TOP ROPE AND LEAPS... CLIVE'S DIVE! CLIVE'S DIVE! CLIVE'S DIVE! THE HOOK OF THE LEGS!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
TREY BOOKER: INDY GOT IT!
DING! DING! DING!
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’ and has a picture of Indy Darling next to it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Indy hands Dickie Watson his first singles loss, even though TJ was pinned...how can you not hand it to him? Everyone’s Favorite Kick...Everyone’s Favorite Driver. BEAUTIFUL!!!
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And to add to that...
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ appears the words ‘Champion Showcase’ and pictures of Indy Darling, Dickie Watson, and TJ Thompson.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: All three singles Champions standing in a ring together. Each of them competing to be top dog for the Draft Night and able to carry that chip on their shoulder. OF COURSE it would be the match of the night.
‘The words ‘Medal Of Honor’ replace the ‘Match of the Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And to continue that thought...
A picture of Indy Darling appears on the screen behind James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: He won the Champion Showcase, handing a defeat to not only the other two Champions of Proving Ground, but to the top man in the company! That earns you THEE Medal of Honor. It has to.
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: What a ride for season one and what a wonderful way to bring in season two. Now are you ready for two brands? Are you ready for two shows?
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 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.
