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 7’ 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.
Our television screens begin to transmit recorded action, showing The Dragon Lady drops Eaun Hill with Breathing Fire, earning the Dragon a shot at the Legacy Championship.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to the moment Drago Santiago destroying Contessa Floran with a DNT into a pile of legos and razor blades.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Fade to a shot of Shawn Warstein spinning Indy Darling around and planting him with the Ego Trip, with MYOJIN lying unconscious on the mat next to them.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to the film of John Nash Strader hitting Pyro with the Ride or Die, surrounded by fire.
Flash to the horrific scene of Dex Griffin and Matthew Knox laying in a pile of broken tables and fallen scaffolding.
Finally a video of Dickie Watson with the Grand Championship Title, as he and Aiden Reynolds stand over a broken Ramesses.
It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!
The video pauses on Dickie Watson staring out at Mark Hunter, Ramesses tag partner at that moment. It slowly fades to black, before coming to a live feed showing James Edgebrook sitting behind the usual silver desk. Dressed in a green and blue tie-dyed t-shirt, James’ usual neat beard is not tied together and just hangs loose. The words ‘THE EDGE’ shine on the monitor behind him. With the usual silver set around him, the music slowly fades out.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Holy SHIT do I feel spoiled right now. Did you see Proving Ground? DID YOU SEE FALLOUT??? Callum put on a hell of a show for the Proving Ground faithful, while Christian actually named his show after what all the doubters refer to the Fallout roster as...Spot Monkeys!
A look of wonder and disbelief is all over James’ face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout was brilliant! Proving Ground was brilliant! The talent keeps rolling in. The rumors keep piling in about all the WINS Project: Honor keeps getting! It...it’s just amazing.
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the screen behind him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: So before we continue on with the show, let’s welcome that rolling-in talent that I just mentioned. Let’s give them some love!
The camera focuses on the monitor behind James, where we see headshots of all the new roster members.
Our view slowly pans out, catching sight of the desk and finally a smiling James Edgebrook.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Despite losing a few members this past cycle, we still are sitting at a total of forty-nine total, with Proving Ground leading the charge with twenty-five. Again, the prospect of a third brand should be swirling in Rock Johnson’s mind right now.
The monitor behind James goes blank.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: So welcome to all those new faces on the roster and I am excited to see the faces that roll in before The Edge two weeks from now.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One of Fallout’s newer additions and definitely a rising PH star, says something we all should understand.
Fade to a new tweet, from ‘The Raven’ Matthew Knox.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One of the four fighters in the race to become the first Legacy Champion, Matthew Knox is telling the truth about what is about to go down at The Crowning.
A slow transition from Knox’s tweet to one of The Dragon Lady.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One of the newer kids on the block, The Dragon Lady. She is about to face an uphill battle with Knox, Reynolds, and DeDraca standing between her and the Legacy Championship. But she said she is going to try her hardest...and you can’t ask for anything more.
A tweet from Aiden Reynolds replaces The Dragon Lady’s.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: The third of the Legacy four-way, stands tall with a four-and-oh record...and by the looks of it, plans on kicking that up to five.
One last time, Aiden’s tweet fades to the final member of four-way.
JAMES EDGEBROOK:Just as Elena said...and then it was only four! The Legacy Championship match is going to be a sight to see.
The tweet cuts to the Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Wow...so many tweets from everyone...with so little time to show them off. Well, not much more to say. Let’s head to commercials and 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 7’ are on it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Normally I would have one or two Honrable Mentions to hand out...but as you see, we are no longer swimming in Elite Five territory...we’ve moved up to the Elite Seven! So for now, let’s hold off on Honorable Mentions and get RIGHT into the good stuff.
The words ‘Number Seven’ appear below the ‘Elite 7’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: To start off our newly extended list, we start off with a name that has made a living on the Elite Five.
Last Match: Lost to Shawn Warstein - Triple Threat Match, Record: 10-4, Movement: 3 Down.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is a sad one. Because we all watched Shawn Warstein pin Indy Darling, but no one expected MYOJIN to post to Twitter that due to an injury in this match...he would not be participating in the Legacy Chamber Match. I was looking forward to seeing MYOJIN in this match...but now I just hope he will be healthy enough to take part in Proving Ground Eleven.
MYOJIN’s photo fades out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Six’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Coming in at number six, after putting one one hell of a show for us at the first ever Fallout show...for the first time since the August thirty-first edition of the Elite Five...
Last Match: Defeated Victoria Nash Strader & Jason Long - Triple Threat Match, Record: 5-1, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Speaking of injuries, it’s wonderful to see Kasey Winterborn back on the scene and causing bodies to drop while returning from her injury. I have high hopes for Kasey as the Tyrant Match hangs over her at The Crowning. Only time will tell if this time around in Project: Honor...if she can put a bit of gold around her waist.
The photo of Kasey Winterborn quickly transitions to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Five’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Now when people think of Number Five on the list, they won’t see it as almost out of the pack...but more of a sitting pretty in the middle. And with that spot, comes a name that’s been off the list for a couple cycles.
Last Match: Defeated Pyro - Prime Qualifier Inferno Match, Record: 4-1, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout’s outlaw has finally made it back to being Elite, snatching up a victory of Pyro and earning his shot at the top of the Fallout mountain. Vegas had the odds in Pyro’s favor, but John had to prove he was and always will be the breaker of the norm.
The words ‘Elite 7: Number Four’ replace the picture of John Nash Strader
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Another name making a comeback onto our list...
Last Match: (w/Dickie Watson) Defeated Mark Hunter & Ramesses, Record 4-0, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Aiden stood side-by-side with his Commonwealth partner and they destroyed the bodyguard of former Project: Honor star Kimberly Chase. Now? Aiden has an opportunity to step into the ring at The Crowning and step out with a new fancy belt. And so far, he has proved that he is going to be hard to stop.
Fades out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Three’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Speaking of that Legacy Championship Match...
Last Match: N/A, Record 4-0, Movement 1 Down.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Elena didn’t wrestle at the first Fallout, due to existing obligations. Instead, she will make her first appearance as a member of the green brand...when she steps into the ring with Reynolds, Knox, and The Dragon Lady. Elena only drops a spot due to inactivity...but after The Crowning, any worry over her dropping could all be for naught.
The picture of Elena is quickly replaced by the words ‘Elite 7: Number Two’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And the man who is playing hop-scotch with Elena this week...
Last Match: Defeated MYOJIN & INDY DARLING, Record 5-1, Movement: 1 Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn Warstein walked into Proving Ground Ten and not only knocked MYOJIN out of commission, but pinned the X-Factor Champion. Shawn seems to enjoy dabbling more in the Tag Team area right now, but something tells me his thirst for gold isn’t going to end at the Tag Team Titles. And when Shawn decides he wants to gun for that Grand Championship...all bets are off.
Shawn Warstein’s picture fades to the words ‘Elite 7: Number One’. The letters (and number) are highlighted in gold and have added depth to them, to make them look as if they are popping off the screen.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And pulling in at the TOP SPOT of our very first Elite Seven...
Last Match: (W/Aiden Reynolds) Defeated Mark Hunter & Ramesses , Record 9-2, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Sitting pretty as the top man in the land, Dickie continues to prove how dangerous he is. Don’t doubt him, don’t second guess him, don’t even think of looking past him. Dickie is dangerous.
James gives a corny smile before the camera zooms back in to show only the monitor, showing a picture of the full ‘Elite 7’ list.
The screen goes blank and we pan out to see James still standing next to the screen.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: That’s one hell of a list that only looks like it will be harder to decide as both brands give it their all and the roster size grows!
We fade back in from the commercial break to see James Edgebrook sitting at a round table, a monitor in the background, and an empty seat across the table from him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thanks for coming back, my friends. I told you at the last show, that it was probably the last time Alara would be with us for predictions. BUT...I did say I wanted to do a GUEST predictor for every show. Before we introduce our guest this week, let’s take a look at the prediction standings after last week’s shows.
An image of James Edgebrook appears on the monitor behind them. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Show: 10-5, Overall: 30-32”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Last Show: 8-7, Overall: 28-19”
Both images fade out and are replaced by a new one.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: The way it was going, I would have sworn that Alara would have made it to thirty correct before me, but with a ten-and-five record last show...I managed to hit that thirty first...and now she is not even here to hit thirty herself. Instead, our guest this week...the one...the only...LIL’ PETEY!!!
Suddenly, “Welcome to Chilis” by Yung Gravy starts to play. Edgebrook looks around, confused, until Lil Petey enters the room with a boombox on his shoulders. He is DRIPPED out; shades on, the fur coat, a very colorful button up shirt that maybe has half the buttons actually buttoned, black skinny jeans, and all white yeezy’s. The song continues to play. Meanwhile, Edgebrook just continues to bob his head slowly with the music.
LIL PETEY: What are you doing, James, get up and get lit with me!
James pauses for a moment shakes his head slightly.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Nah, man. I’m good.
Petey stops moving and just turns the music off.
LIL PETEY: The vibes are WAY off right now, bro. What’s good, though?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Nothin’ much, just excited to have you on the set and here to enjoy the pre-Crowning festivities.
LIL PETEY: Oh word. Yeah, dude, The Crowning is looking pretty HIP if I do say so myself.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Well with your buddy TJ on the card and you not only stepping into the spotlight earlier on for some personal things...but being inserted into that four-way Tag match...I’m sure the HIP is DRIPPING!
James smirks. Hearing those two words from Edgebrook brought some good vibes back to Petey who also smirks.
LIL PETEY: THE CROWNING HIP! BIG DRIP HIP! Big Drip Productions really brings some spice to Project: Honor that it needed… BAD! Of course there’s some other good stuff going on outside of that, too, but that’s not really my focus right now, ya know?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Sounds good. Let’s take a look at these matches then.
LIL PETEY: Let’s get it, my dude!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: The opener of the night pits four Proving Ground roster members against each other in an attempt to secure that number one contender spot for the Warrior Rising Championship. I’ve only seen two of these men really in action. Seth Blackheart had it handed to him during the Purge Match at Unbreakable Resolution...while just last week Euan Hill failed at wiggling his way into the Legacy Chamber Match. I think after falling so far, Euan is going to show a spark that I’m sure Callum expected to see last week. I believe Euan Hill gets the win here.
LIL PETEY: These four wish they could run with TJ, though! Even I could beat most of these guys and I haven’t even won yet. Imma have to go with the dude that looks like he could snap at someone and go full on psycho mode. Euan with the dub here.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Wait...aren’t you oh-and-six?
LIL PETEY: Exactly, I haven’t won yet. That’s finna change at The Crowning with my boy Sauce!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Well with that being said, let’s take a look at our next match. A fifteen minute hardcore battle royal for the Fallout Ascension Championship. Now we’ve watched all four of these individuals at some time or another, even if two of them have only briefly appeared in dark matches. Eli made an impression at the Purge and while taking out Amber last week. Meanwhile Zack seems too involved with this ‘left hand-in, take your right-hand out’ stuff to worry about this match. I think after it’s all said and done, Daniel Horror proves he was one of the better steals in the draft. Horror walks out of The Crowning with gold around his waist.
Petey busts out laughing.
LIL PETEY: Bro that was some funny shit you just said. ‘Left hand-in, take your right-hand out’ holy shit.
He’s laughing so hard a single tear starts to roll down his cheek. Petey finally starts to calm his shit.
LIL PETEY: Oh man, okay. Didn’t Zack recently say something about being in this place called EWC? Swear I heard that from whatever he was saying recently. Is he confused about where he’s at? No matter, Eli’s got that physique, Amber’s got the potential, but I also got that boy Daniel Horror for the dub. He freaks me out, but I’m a fan.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And here is where things start to get interesting. Your boy TJ puts his Warrior Rising Championship up against the Post Office Savior, Pat the Postman. As much as I want to believe in the David and Goliath type story here...I’ve seen the destruction Pat can cause. I think Pat the Postman is about to become Pat the Warrior Rising Champion.
Petey scoffs at James.
LIL PETEY: PUT SOME RESPECK ON MY BOY TJ’S NAME! Pat may got the size and all that, but he’s away from his comfort zone. I saw what he did in that Purge Match with the Post Office, but this isn’t even close to that. He’s in the ring with the HIP WARRIOR. Of course I got my boy Drip brother TJ for the retention.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ...isn’t...there...a ‘T’...ah, nevermind...
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Next up is the match YOU are in. While I think I know where you are going, I’m still going to give my insight. We haven’t seen Insidious besides some random show segment with them beating people up...Two Toned Mafia seems to be having a little bit of family issues judging by one of their latest promotional materials...and SEX might still be in trouble with the law after that mime incident. I…
There is a momentary pause as James takes a deep breath.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ...I can’t believe I’m ‘bout to say this...but I think you guys pull off the surprise of the night. Big Drip with the Big W.
Petey starts clapping while nodding directly at James.
LIL PETEY: That makes up for your last prediction, but we want the FULL RESPECK! This is going to be a fun match, that’s about all I’m gonna say. You got the SEX guys that seem to be pretty cool, whatever’s going on between those lesbians, and Insidious? Are they a part of the Left Hand Right Hand thing?
A half-hearted shrug is all James could muster.
LIL PETEY: No? I got faith in my boy and so I’m saying Big Drip with the Big Dub!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout’s Prime Championship sits in front of these two, in what has only been described as a Love Hurts Match. Yet another f’d up match from the mad GM over on Fallout.
With that last line, suddenly the picture of Drago and Strader distort slightly and the background on the monitor turns a light shade of green as the picture of the two competitors fades out. The words ‘Love Hurts’ appears on top of the screen, then suddenly an explanation of the match appears below it. James turns and begins to read them.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Steel chains replace the ropes...ring surrounded by a chain link cage...glass tables placed between the cage and the ring…
As James takes in what he just read, the monitor distorts once again before going back to The Crowing image of Drago and John. James turns back around and looks at Petey, a horrified look spread across his face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Jesus H. Christ! Is DeMarco trying to kill his people?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: With that being said. I’ve heard of the debauchery Drago can bring...and we all saw what John Nash Strader did to Pyro. God...I’m still flabbergasted by the idea of this match. Um...give me a moment...fuck it, John Nash Strader surprised us once, maybe he can pull it off again. Strader becomes the first ever Fallout Prime Champion.
LIL PETEY: All I gotta say, is there’s some fucked up people in this place. Why would you voluntarily put your body on the line like that?! COULDN’T BE ME! We’ll go with cult boy Drago with the slight dub.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Yeah, I think it’s honestly a fucked up man leading those fucked up people. Which worries me for this match. If they are willing to put their own lives on the line for an everyday type of match...what are they going to do in this WarGames match? Luckily both sides will have to fight each other, before taking on the other brand for bragging rights. I think on the Proving Ground side, we are going to see Shawn Warstein come out of the blue brand. For Fallout, I have multiple people who can rise to the occasion...my heart wants to say Kasey...my soul wants to say Pyro...but my mind says Bruce McLeod. The Highlander will not only come out of the green brand...but I think he might just pull off the entire Tyrant Games. Shawn Warstein versus Bruce McLeod in the end, with Bruce taking the name and the ability for Fallout to claim supremacy.
LIL PETEY: This match is going to be LIT! So many big names in this match from what I’ve seen and so much potential. I can’t even choose just one, man, shit is cray. I’d say the final two on the PG side could be Ozymandias and Shawn Warstein. Shawn’s got that ego/confidence thing going on and I respeck that! Ozy just looks terrifying. As for Fallout, I guess just good luck to y’all, man. I’m not even gonna pick, y’all just another level crazy. I’d say to win it all, someone from PG for sure. This the type of shit people write songs over.
Petey pauses for a second and looks back at Edgebrook.
LIL PETEY: Wait… did you say my girl Kasey was in this match? Fuck what I just said, MY BAE KASEY WINNING IT ALL BABAY!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I had a feeling you would have something to say about her. She is quite the attractive woman, props to you. Anyway, finally we get to the Main Event...the crowning of the first ever Project: Honor Legacy Champion! This originally started as a six-person Elimination Chamber match, but we all watched as this sport claimed two victims. We watched as Contesa Floran and Mia Nightingale fell out of the ring during their match, causing a no contest. Contessa is still nursing her injuries, plus whatever ones she sustained after getting WRECKED by Drago last week. Mia? She hasn’t been heard from since and is listed as a former talent. So down went one competitor. And then last week on Proving Ground, MYOJIN fell to Shawn Warstein...and sustained an injury in the process. One that won’t take him out of action too much, but just enough to not be able to give this match the one-hundred percent MYOJIN it deserves...and down went the second one.
James cocks his head slightly to the side, a slight grimace on his face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is going to be one hell of a match and my mind is racing with me trying to predict someone. Again, I’m being torn in different directions...but I think the small break Elena DeDraca took between the Draft Show and The Crowning, is going to prove to be the key here. She rested herself, made sure everything was copacetic...and now she is ready to take on the world. DeDraca crowns herself Legacy Champion and we fade out of this dual-brand show with her standing as the winner.
LIL PETEY: Not gonna lie to you, broski… After the Big Drip match I almost lost interest in this completely. I should get an award for paying attention to this. I need to get back to the STU with Saucy boy to make some bangers. If I HAVE to answer, I’d say they all have the potential to be winners and we’ll see who the winner will be!
As he’s finishing his last sentence, Petey gets out of the chair and turns back on the boombox. “Welcome to Chillis” picks up where it left off and so does his dance moves.
LIL PETEY: Catch you on the flippity flip, James and thanks for having ya boy. BIG DRIP HIP ALL DAY!
The monitor behind the James, goes back to The Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Big Drip Hip...all day.
As the commercial for The Crowning fades out, we come back to see James Edgebrook now stands in front of the lone monitor/screen once again.
JAMES EDGEBROOK:Welcome back! It’s our last segment of the night...so you know what that means...MEDAL...OF...HONORS!!!
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. Given that we have TWO brands now...I had SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM!!! But, after watching and rewatching...I think I found the best one.
A picture of Shawn Warstein appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: A beautiful look at the Tag team Champion, as he fed us ‘Chapter Seven: Fighting Demons’. We’ve all been in that fight before, so it really tugs at the heart.
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I don’t know if it’s the Chilis...or the vibe...or the music still in by head...
A picture of Big Drip at the Hip House under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: There was so much to choose from and probably a few better. But TJ is a feel good story and it’s an awesome sight to see him and his friends able to celebrate in ANY fashion. Big Drip is on the Big Rise!
The picture of the Hip House fades away, replaced by the words ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout has feuds that are just starting...so this is easily where Proving Ground takes the cake.
A picture of Dickie Watson staring out at Mark Hunter appears underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: There is trouble brewing in the land of the Grand Champion. Mark Hunter isn’t someone to ignore. Ask Inday Darling, ask anyone in the Purge Match. And now it seems he may have his eyes set on Dickie.
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of Watson and Hunter.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: God, so many spots. But near death is a perfect spot!
The monitor starts to show footage from the Main Event of Fallout.
The scaffolding becomes what appears to be an old familiar place to the men, as if it is almost like home to them. They both somehow remain balanced up there despite all the beatings they have given each other, both busted open and bloody. They exchange left and rights, both with fading energy, blow after blow, each matched with the other's impact. A right hook to Griffin's left temple, he staggers, but quickly recovers and gets a right hook to Matt's forehead, Knox goes for a left hook to the stomach, he NAILS it, Dex is hunched over, Matt goes for a knee to the skull, but yet again Dex fights back and hits a sneaky tucked headbutt to the gut of Knox.
ALARA ADAMS: Whatever happens next I’m damn sure fallouts medical staff are gonna earn their money tonight.
Matt Knox jumps at Griffin for a last ditch effort and tries to spear him off the scaffolding!!!!!
KAYDEN ELLIS: Imagine working for the medical team on this damn show!
Dex shoves a boot in Matt's face, catches him mid spear and gets him into position for the edge of the world, Knox breaks free and grabs Dex, Knox nails morbid corvid again, this time into the scaffolding! THE WHOLE DAMN THING SHAKES AND THEN BREAKS APART!!! BOTH MEN CRASH DOWN WITH THE DESTROYED SCAFFOLDING INTO THE RING BELOW!
Dex Griffin hits the canvas first………. MATT KNOX WINS!!!
DING! DING! DING!
“THAT WAS AWESOME!! THAT WAS AWESOME!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!”
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’ and has a picture of a large pile of broken scaffolding, bent chairs, and medical crew are next to it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Matthew Knox won the first Main Event in Fallout history. But at what cost? And what about Dex Griffin? I don’t even see him on The Crowning card. Is he that hurt?
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: But while Fallout had the SPOT of the Night...Proving Ground pulls up with the last two awards. For starters...
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ are pictures of Shawn Warstein, MYOJIN, and Indy Darling.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: These three men had no title on the line, no Championship shot, nothing more than pride. And the three of them gave it EVERYTHING they had.
‘The words ‘Medal Of Honor’ replace the ‘Match of the Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And to continue on that idea and we end our little show with the usual piece-de-resistance
A picture of Shawn Warstein appears on the screen behind James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Like I said, nothing on the line...nothing being handed to him...not even a match at The Crowning. But Shawn Warstein re-earned his Number Two spot in the rankings, by defeating the X-Factor Champion AND putting a Legacy Chamber contender out of commission. Dickie may have his eyes on Hunter right now, but I have a feeling Warstein is watching somewhere in the tall grass.
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: That was one hell of a back-to-back ending to the week, that I sure as hell can get used to.
A smile appears on James’ face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And it looks like things are only going to get better.
‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play softly in the background.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: So we sign off for the night. 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 7’ 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.
Our television screens begin to transmit recorded action, showing The Dragon Lady drops Eaun Hill with Breathing Fire, earning the Dragon a shot at the Legacy Championship.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to the moment Drago Santiago destroying Contessa Floran with a DNT into a pile of legos and razor blades.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Fade to a shot of Shawn Warstein spinning Indy Darling around and planting him with the Ego Trip, with MYOJIN lying unconscious on the mat next to them.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to the film of John Nash Strader hitting Pyro with the Ride or Die, surrounded by fire.
Flash to the horrific scene of Dex Griffin and Matthew Knox laying in a pile of broken tables and fallen scaffolding.
Finally a video of Dickie Watson with the Grand Championship Title, as he and Aiden Reynolds stand over a broken Ramesses.
It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!
The video pauses on Dickie Watson staring out at Mark Hunter, Ramesses tag partner at that moment. It slowly fades to black, before coming to a live feed showing James Edgebrook sitting behind the usual silver desk. Dressed in a green and blue tie-dyed t-shirt, James’ usual neat beard is not tied together and just hangs loose. The words ‘THE EDGE’ shine on the monitor behind him. With the usual silver set around him, the music slowly fades out.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Holy SHIT do I feel spoiled right now. Did you see Proving Ground? DID YOU SEE FALLOUT??? Callum put on a hell of a show for the Proving Ground faithful, while Christian actually named his show after what all the doubters refer to the Fallout roster as...Spot Monkeys!
A look of wonder and disbelief is all over James’ face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout was brilliant! Proving Ground was brilliant! The talent keeps rolling in. The rumors keep piling in about all the WINS Project: Honor keeps getting! It...it’s just amazing.
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the screen behind him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: So before we continue on with the show, let’s welcome that rolling-in talent that I just mentioned. Let’s give them some love!
The camera focuses on the monitor behind James, where we see headshots of all the new roster members.
Our view slowly pans out, catching sight of the desk and finally a smiling James Edgebrook.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Despite losing a few members this past cycle, we still are sitting at a total of forty-nine total, with Proving Ground leading the charge with twenty-five. Again, the prospect of a third brand should be swirling in Rock Johnson’s mind right now.
The monitor behind James goes blank.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: So welcome to all those new faces on the roster and I am excited to see the faces that roll in before The Edge two weeks from now.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One of Fallout’s newer additions and definitely a rising PH star, says something we all should understand.
Fade to a new tweet, from ‘The Raven’ Matthew Knox.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One of the four fighters in the race to become the first Legacy Champion, Matthew Knox is telling the truth about what is about to go down at The Crowning.
A slow transition from Knox’s tweet to one of The Dragon Lady.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: One of the newer kids on the block, The Dragon Lady. She is about to face an uphill battle with Knox, Reynolds, and DeDraca standing between her and the Legacy Championship. But she said she is going to try her hardest...and you can’t ask for anything more.
A tweet from Aiden Reynolds replaces The Dragon Lady’s.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: The third of the Legacy four-way, stands tall with a four-and-oh record...and by the looks of it, plans on kicking that up to five.
One last time, Aiden’s tweet fades to the final member of four-way.
JAMES EDGEBROOK:Just as Elena said...and then it was only four! The Legacy Championship match is going to be a sight to see.
The tweet cuts to the Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Wow...so many tweets from everyone...with so little time to show them off. Well, not much more to say. Let’s head to commercials and we will be right back.
PROJECT: HONOR PRESENTS:
FALLOUT II
LOCATION: Court Philippe-Catrier (Paris, France)
DATE & TIME: 2/25/21 @ 8 PM EST
We come back from commercial and James Edgebrook is standing in front of a large monitor/screen. The words ‘Elite 7’ are on it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Normally I would have one or two Honrable Mentions to hand out...but as you see, we are no longer swimming in Elite Five territory...we’ve moved up to the Elite Seven! So for now, let’s hold off on Honorable Mentions and get RIGHT into the good stuff.
The words ‘Number Seven’ appear below the ‘Elite 7’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: To start off our newly extended list, we start off with a name that has made a living on the Elite Five.
Last Match: Lost to Shawn Warstein - Triple Threat Match, Record: 10-4, Movement: 3 Down.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is a sad one. Because we all watched Shawn Warstein pin Indy Darling, but no one expected MYOJIN to post to Twitter that due to an injury in this match...he would not be participating in the Legacy Chamber Match. I was looking forward to seeing MYOJIN in this match...but now I just hope he will be healthy enough to take part in Proving Ground Eleven.
MYOJIN’s photo fades out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Six’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Coming in at number six, after putting one one hell of a show for us at the first ever Fallout show...for the first time since the August thirty-first edition of the Elite Five...
Last Match: Defeated Victoria Nash Strader & Jason Long - Triple Threat Match, Record: 5-1, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Speaking of injuries, it’s wonderful to see Kasey Winterborn back on the scene and causing bodies to drop while returning from her injury. I have high hopes for Kasey as the Tyrant Match hangs over her at The Crowning. Only time will tell if this time around in Project: Honor...if she can put a bit of gold around her waist.
The photo of Kasey Winterborn quickly transitions to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Five’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Now when people think of Number Five on the list, they won’t see it as almost out of the pack...but more of a sitting pretty in the middle. And with that spot, comes a name that’s been off the list for a couple cycles.
Last Match: Defeated Pyro - Prime Qualifier Inferno Match, Record: 4-1, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout’s outlaw has finally made it back to being Elite, snatching up a victory of Pyro and earning his shot at the top of the Fallout mountain. Vegas had the odds in Pyro’s favor, but John had to prove he was and always will be the breaker of the norm.
The words ‘Elite 7: Number Four’ replace the picture of John Nash Strader
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Another name making a comeback onto our list...
Last Match: (w/Dickie Watson) Defeated Mark Hunter & Ramesses, Record 4-0, Movement: Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Aiden stood side-by-side with his Commonwealth partner and they destroyed the bodyguard of former Project: Honor star Kimberly Chase. Now? Aiden has an opportunity to step into the ring at The Crowning and step out with a new fancy belt. And so far, he has proved that he is going to be hard to stop.
Fades out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Three’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Speaking of that Legacy Championship Match...
Last Match: N/A, Record 4-0, Movement 1 Down.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Elena didn’t wrestle at the first Fallout, due to existing obligations. Instead, she will make her first appearance as a member of the green brand...when she steps into the ring with Reynolds, Knox, and The Dragon Lady. Elena only drops a spot due to inactivity...but after The Crowning, any worry over her dropping could all be for naught.
The picture of Elena is quickly replaced by the words ‘Elite 7: Number Two’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And the man who is playing hop-scotch with Elena this week...
Last Match: Defeated MYOJIN & INDY DARLING, Record 5-1, Movement: 1 Up.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Shawn Warstein walked into Proving Ground Ten and not only knocked MYOJIN out of commission, but pinned the X-Factor Champion. Shawn seems to enjoy dabbling more in the Tag Team area right now, but something tells me his thirst for gold isn’t going to end at the Tag Team Titles. And when Shawn decides he wants to gun for that Grand Championship...all bets are off.
Shawn Warstein’s picture fades to the words ‘Elite 7: Number One’. The letters (and number) are highlighted in gold and have added depth to them, to make them look as if they are popping off the screen.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And pulling in at the TOP SPOT of our very first Elite Seven...
Last Match: (W/Aiden Reynolds) Defeated Mark Hunter & Ramesses , Record 9-2, Movement -.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Sitting pretty as the top man in the land, Dickie continues to prove how dangerous he is. Don’t doubt him, don’t second guess him, don’t even think of looking past him. Dickie is dangerous.
James gives a corny smile before the camera zooms back in to show only the monitor, showing a picture of the full ‘Elite 7’ list.
The screen goes blank and we pan out to see James still standing next to the screen.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: That’s one hell of a list that only looks like it will be harder to decide as both brands give it their all and the roster size grows!
PROJECT: HONOR PRESENTS:
PROVING GROUND XI
LOCATION: AccorHotels Arena (Paris, France)
DATE & TIME: 2/26/21 @ 8 PM EST
We fade back in from the commercial break to see James Edgebrook sitting at a round table, a monitor in the background, and an empty seat across the table from him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thanks for coming back, my friends. I told you at the last show, that it was probably the last time Alara would be with us for predictions. BUT...I did say I wanted to do a GUEST predictor for every show. Before we introduce our guest this week, let’s take a look at the prediction standings after last week’s shows.
An image of James Edgebrook appears on the monitor behind them. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Show: 10-5, Overall: 30-32”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Last Show: 8-7, Overall: 28-19”
Both images fade out and are replaced by a new one.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: The way it was going, I would have sworn that Alara would have made it to thirty correct before me, but with a ten-and-five record last show...I managed to hit that thirty first...and now she is not even here to hit thirty herself. Instead, our guest this week...the one...the only...LIL’ PETEY!!!
Suddenly, “Welcome to Chilis” by Yung Gravy starts to play. Edgebrook looks around, confused, until Lil Petey enters the room with a boombox on his shoulders. He is DRIPPED out; shades on, the fur coat, a very colorful button up shirt that maybe has half the buttons actually buttoned, black skinny jeans, and all white yeezy’s. The song continues to play. Meanwhile, Edgebrook just continues to bob his head slowly with the music.
LIL PETEY: What are you doing, James, get up and get lit with me!
James pauses for a moment shakes his head slightly.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Nah, man. I’m good.
Petey stops moving and just turns the music off.
LIL PETEY: The vibes are WAY off right now, bro. What’s good, though?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Nothin’ much, just excited to have you on the set and here to enjoy the pre-Crowning festivities.
LIL PETEY: Oh word. Yeah, dude, The Crowning is looking pretty HIP if I do say so myself.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Well with your buddy TJ on the card and you not only stepping into the spotlight earlier on for some personal things...but being inserted into that four-way Tag match...I’m sure the HIP is DRIPPING!
James smirks. Hearing those two words from Edgebrook brought some good vibes back to Petey who also smirks.
LIL PETEY: THE CROWNING HIP! BIG DRIP HIP! Big Drip Productions really brings some spice to Project: Honor that it needed… BAD! Of course there’s some other good stuff going on outside of that, too, but that’s not really my focus right now, ya know?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Sounds good. Let’s take a look at these matches then.
LIL PETEY: Let’s get it, my dude!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: The opener of the night pits four Proving Ground roster members against each other in an attempt to secure that number one contender spot for the Warrior Rising Championship. I’ve only seen two of these men really in action. Seth Blackheart had it handed to him during the Purge Match at Unbreakable Resolution...while just last week Euan Hill failed at wiggling his way into the Legacy Chamber Match. I think after falling so far, Euan is going to show a spark that I’m sure Callum expected to see last week. I believe Euan Hill gets the win here.
LIL PETEY: These four wish they could run with TJ, though! Even I could beat most of these guys and I haven’t even won yet. Imma have to go with the dude that looks like he could snap at someone and go full on psycho mode. Euan with the dub here.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Wait...aren’t you oh-and-six?
LIL PETEY: Exactly, I haven’t won yet. That’s finna change at The Crowning with my boy Sauce!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Well with that being said, let’s take a look at our next match. A fifteen minute hardcore battle royal for the Fallout Ascension Championship. Now we’ve watched all four of these individuals at some time or another, even if two of them have only briefly appeared in dark matches. Eli made an impression at the Purge and while taking out Amber last week. Meanwhile Zack seems too involved with this ‘left hand-in, take your right-hand out’ stuff to worry about this match. I think after it’s all said and done, Daniel Horror proves he was one of the better steals in the draft. Horror walks out of The Crowning with gold around his waist.
Petey busts out laughing.
LIL PETEY: Bro that was some funny shit you just said. ‘Left hand-in, take your right-hand out’ holy shit.
He’s laughing so hard a single tear starts to roll down his cheek. Petey finally starts to calm his shit.
LIL PETEY: Oh man, okay. Didn’t Zack recently say something about being in this place called EWC? Swear I heard that from whatever he was saying recently. Is he confused about where he’s at? No matter, Eli’s got that physique, Amber’s got the potential, but I also got that boy Daniel Horror for the dub. He freaks me out, but I’m a fan.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And here is where things start to get interesting. Your boy TJ puts his Warrior Rising Championship up against the Post Office Savior, Pat the Postman. As much as I want to believe in the David and Goliath type story here...I’ve seen the destruction Pat can cause. I think Pat the Postman is about to become Pat the Warrior Rising Champion.
Petey scoffs at James.
LIL PETEY: PUT SOME RESPECK ON MY BOY TJ’S NAME! Pat may got the size and all that, but he’s away from his comfort zone. I saw what he did in that Purge Match with the Post Office, but this isn’t even close to that. He’s in the ring with the HIP WARRIOR. Of course I got my boy Drip brother TJ for the retention.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ...isn’t...there...a ‘T’...ah, nevermind...
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Next up is the match YOU are in. While I think I know where you are going, I’m still going to give my insight. We haven’t seen Insidious besides some random show segment with them beating people up...Two Toned Mafia seems to be having a little bit of family issues judging by one of their latest promotional materials...and SEX might still be in trouble with the law after that mime incident. I…
There is a momentary pause as James takes a deep breath.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ...I can’t believe I’m ‘bout to say this...but I think you guys pull off the surprise of the night. Big Drip with the Big W.
Petey starts clapping while nodding directly at James.
LIL PETEY: That makes up for your last prediction, but we want the FULL RESPECK! This is going to be a fun match, that’s about all I’m gonna say. You got the SEX guys that seem to be pretty cool, whatever’s going on between those lesbians, and Insidious? Are they a part of the Left Hand Right Hand thing?
A half-hearted shrug is all James could muster.
LIL PETEY: No? I got faith in my boy and so I’m saying Big Drip with the Big Dub!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout’s Prime Championship sits in front of these two, in what has only been described as a Love Hurts Match. Yet another f’d up match from the mad GM over on Fallout.
With that last line, suddenly the picture of Drago and Strader distort slightly and the background on the monitor turns a light shade of green as the picture of the two competitors fades out. The words ‘Love Hurts’ appears on top of the screen, then suddenly an explanation of the match appears below it. James turns and begins to read them.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Steel chains replace the ropes...ring surrounded by a chain link cage...glass tables placed between the cage and the ring…
As James takes in what he just read, the monitor distorts once again before going back to The Crowing image of Drago and John. James turns back around and looks at Petey, a horrified look spread across his face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Jesus H. Christ! Is DeMarco trying to kill his people?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: With that being said. I’ve heard of the debauchery Drago can bring...and we all saw what John Nash Strader did to Pyro. God...I’m still flabbergasted by the idea of this match. Um...give me a moment...fuck it, John Nash Strader surprised us once, maybe he can pull it off again. Strader becomes the first ever Fallout Prime Champion.
LIL PETEY: All I gotta say, is there’s some fucked up people in this place. Why would you voluntarily put your body on the line like that?! COULDN’T BE ME! We’ll go with cult boy Drago with the slight dub.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Yeah, I think it’s honestly a fucked up man leading those fucked up people. Which worries me for this match. If they are willing to put their own lives on the line for an everyday type of match...what are they going to do in this WarGames match? Luckily both sides will have to fight each other, before taking on the other brand for bragging rights. I think on the Proving Ground side, we are going to see Shawn Warstein come out of the blue brand. For Fallout, I have multiple people who can rise to the occasion...my heart wants to say Kasey...my soul wants to say Pyro...but my mind says Bruce McLeod. The Highlander will not only come out of the green brand...but I think he might just pull off the entire Tyrant Games. Shawn Warstein versus Bruce McLeod in the end, with Bruce taking the name and the ability for Fallout to claim supremacy.
LIL PETEY: This match is going to be LIT! So many big names in this match from what I’ve seen and so much potential. I can’t even choose just one, man, shit is cray. I’d say the final two on the PG side could be Ozymandias and Shawn Warstein. Shawn’s got that ego/confidence thing going on and I respeck that! Ozy just looks terrifying. As for Fallout, I guess just good luck to y’all, man. I’m not even gonna pick, y’all just another level crazy. I’d say to win it all, someone from PG for sure. This the type of shit people write songs over.
Petey pauses for a second and looks back at Edgebrook.
LIL PETEY: Wait… did you say my girl Kasey was in this match? Fuck what I just said, MY BAE KASEY WINNING IT ALL BABAY!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I had a feeling you would have something to say about her. She is quite the attractive woman, props to you. Anyway, finally we get to the Main Event...the crowning of the first ever Project: Honor Legacy Champion! This originally started as a six-person Elimination Chamber match, but we all watched as this sport claimed two victims. We watched as Contesa Floran and Mia Nightingale fell out of the ring during their match, causing a no contest. Contessa is still nursing her injuries, plus whatever ones she sustained after getting WRECKED by Drago last week. Mia? She hasn’t been heard from since and is listed as a former talent. So down went one competitor. And then last week on Proving Ground, MYOJIN fell to Shawn Warstein...and sustained an injury in the process. One that won’t take him out of action too much, but just enough to not be able to give this match the one-hundred percent MYOJIN it deserves...and down went the second one.
James cocks his head slightly to the side, a slight grimace on his face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is going to be one hell of a match and my mind is racing with me trying to predict someone. Again, I’m being torn in different directions...but I think the small break Elena DeDraca took between the Draft Show and The Crowning, is going to prove to be the key here. She rested herself, made sure everything was copacetic...and now she is ready to take on the world. DeDraca crowns herself Legacy Champion and we fade out of this dual-brand show with her standing as the winner.
LIL PETEY: Not gonna lie to you, broski… After the Big Drip match I almost lost interest in this completely. I should get an award for paying attention to this. I need to get back to the STU with Saucy boy to make some bangers. If I HAVE to answer, I’d say they all have the potential to be winners and we’ll see who the winner will be!
As he’s finishing his last sentence, Petey gets out of the chair and turns back on the boombox. “Welcome to Chillis” picks up where it left off and so does his dance moves.
LIL PETEY: Catch you on the flippity flip, James and thanks for having ya boy. BIG DRIP HIP ALL DAY!
The monitor behind the James, goes back to The Edge logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Big Drip Hip...all day.
As the commercial for The Crowning fades out, we come back to see James Edgebrook now stands in front of the lone monitor/screen once again.
JAMES EDGEBROOK:Welcome back! It’s our last segment of the night...so you know what that means...MEDAL...OF...HONORS!!!
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. Given that we have TWO brands now...I had SO MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM!!! But, after watching and rewatching...I think I found the best one.
A picture of Shawn Warstein appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: A beautiful look at the Tag team Champion, as he fed us ‘Chapter Seven: Fighting Demons’. We’ve all been in that fight before, so it really tugs at the heart.
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I don’t know if it’s the Chilis...or the vibe...or the music still in by head...
A picture of Big Drip at the Hip House under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: There was so much to choose from and probably a few better. But TJ is a feel good story and it’s an awesome sight to see him and his friends able to celebrate in ANY fashion. Big Drip is on the Big Rise!
The picture of the Hip House fades away, replaced by the words ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Fallout has feuds that are just starting...so this is easily where Proving Ground takes the cake.
A picture of Dickie Watson staring out at Mark Hunter appears underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: There is trouble brewing in the land of the Grand Champion. Mark Hunter isn’t someone to ignore. Ask Inday Darling, ask anyone in the Purge Match. And now it seems he may have his eyes set on Dickie.
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of Watson and Hunter.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: God, so many spots. But near death is a perfect spot!
The monitor starts to show footage from the Main Event of Fallout.
The scaffolding becomes what appears to be an old familiar place to the men, as if it is almost like home to them. They both somehow remain balanced up there despite all the beatings they have given each other, both busted open and bloody. They exchange left and rights, both with fading energy, blow after blow, each matched with the other's impact. A right hook to Griffin's left temple, he staggers, but quickly recovers and gets a right hook to Matt's forehead, Knox goes for a left hook to the stomach, he NAILS it, Dex is hunched over, Matt goes for a knee to the skull, but yet again Dex fights back and hits a sneaky tucked headbutt to the gut of Knox.
ALARA ADAMS: Whatever happens next I’m damn sure fallouts medical staff are gonna earn their money tonight.
Matt Knox jumps at Griffin for a last ditch effort and tries to spear him off the scaffolding!!!!!
KAYDEN ELLIS: Imagine working for the medical team on this damn show!
Dex shoves a boot in Matt's face, catches him mid spear and gets him into position for the edge of the world, Knox breaks free and grabs Dex, Knox nails morbid corvid again, this time into the scaffolding! THE WHOLE DAMN THING SHAKES AND THEN BREAKS APART!!! BOTH MEN CRASH DOWN WITH THE DESTROYED SCAFFOLDING INTO THE RING BELOW!
Dex Griffin hits the canvas first………. MATT KNOX WINS!!!
DING! DING! DING!
“THAT WAS AWESOME!! THAT WAS AWESOME!! THAT WAS AWESOME!!”
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’ and has a picture of a large pile of broken scaffolding, bent chairs, and medical crew are next to it.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Matthew Knox won the first Main Event in Fallout history. But at what cost? And what about Dex Griffin? I don’t even see him on The Crowning card. Is he that hurt?
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
JAMES EDGEBROOK: But while Fallout had the SPOT of the Night...Proving Ground pulls up with the last two awards. For starters...
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ are pictures of Shawn Warstein, MYOJIN, and Indy Darling.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: These three men had no title on the line, no Championship shot, nothing more than pride. And the three of them gave it EVERYTHING they had.
‘The words ‘Medal Of Honor’ replace the ‘Match of the Night’.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And to continue on that idea and we end our little show with the usual piece-de-resistance
A picture of Shawn Warstein appears on the screen behind James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Like I said, nothing on the line...nothing being handed to him...not even a match at The Crowning. But Shawn Warstein re-earned his Number Two spot in the rankings, by defeating the X-Factor Champion AND putting a Legacy Chamber contender out of commission. Dickie may have his eyes on Hunter right now, but I have a feeling Warstein is watching somewhere in the tall grass.
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: That was one hell of a back-to-back ending to the week, that I sure as hell can get used to.
A smile appears on James’ face.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: And it looks like things are only going to get better.
‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play softly in the background.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: So we sign off for the night. 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.
