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 echo out of the darkness, before ‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play over the black screen.
An image of the words ‘Elite 7’ starts 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, starting with Havoc destroying Kevin Hunter with the Giga Drill Break.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to see Aiden Reynolds rolling Emmanuelle up with a victory roll.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Fade to a shot of Pyro slamming Jason Long down with the Silent Scream.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to the film of MYOJIN dropping down onto TJ Thompson with the Falling From Heaven.
Flash to see Elena DeDraca holding Alice Knight in the Fist of Hydra.
Finally a video of Ozymandias hitting Mark Hunter with The Sinking Faith.
It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!
Our view centers on Ozymandias holding Mark Hunter’s Grand Championship in his hand . Slowly we fade to black, before coming to a live feed showing Fallout’s redheaded ring announcer, Clara Olson sitting behind the usual silver desk. Dressed in a dark green shirt with a picture of Kasey Winterborn and the Ascension Championship on it...as well as a pair of jeans. Her red hair flows gently down slightly past her shoulders. The words ‘THE EDGE’ shine on the monitor behind her as the music slowly fades.
CLARA OLSON: Hello everyone and WELCOME to The Edge. My name is Clara Olson, your current Edge host while James Edgebrook is off in Louisiana getting his Next Level on! And..
Clara tries to continue with her opening, but the lights flicker and go out.
CLARA OLSON: What the hell?
The lights kick back on, but they are now red...and Clara is no longer there. Instead, we see Redd. Dressed in a now fully working red purge mask and in a red hoodie. The word ‘BAD’ appears over him, coming from the monitor.
REDD: Oh little Kasey, how you’ve been led astray. I simply am there to protect you, there to save the day. While I know you are a strong female, always powerful and elite. I am there to watch the vultures and make sure they do not cheat.
A pause as Redd lets out a sigh.
REDD: But alas everyone looks at me, like I’m something to fear. But did you know that your current situation, is because I whispered into DeMarco’s ear? I left him subtle clues, pointed him in your direction. And now you lay waste to all, the Ascension Champion of perfection.
Another pause.
REDD: Now I don’t ask for anything in return, I don’t ask for a price. My only reward is seeing you prosper, for you to be featured in ALL the bright lights. But stay away from the Peteys and the Warsteins, their goals I can not watch. They only want to lay with you and add another bedpost notch.
The lights begin to flicker out of red for a millisecond, but stay red for the time being.
REDD: My time draws to a close here, I simply wanted to say hi. I will see you at Disputed Territory, we can give it another try. But no more kicks to the face, these masks don’t come cheap. I’ll try not to distract you next time, I’ll try not to make a peep.
And with that the lights go out again. When they come back seconds later, everything is back to normal. Redd is gone and in his place is Clara Olson again.
CLARA OLSON: What the FUCK just happaned?
Security can be seen running onto the set and starting to check the nooks and crannies of the place, while Clara just removes a strand of hair from her face.
CLARA OLSON: Okay...let’s try to get back to normal here and ignore the ruckus going on behind me.
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the screen behind her.
CLARA OLSON: Per usual, we want to start our show off with welcoming the new faces to our Project: Honor family. Or, in this case...the Fallout family.
The camera zooms in on the monitor behind Clara, where we see a few headshots of the new roster members.
We pan out from the monitor showing off the newest faces to grace the roster.
CLARA OLSON: While Anastasia and Trey are welcome additions to Proving Ground...that Terry Savage, wow...pure Fallout material. And now with Kevin Hunter TRULY go-
Clara throws her head back and lets out a sigh as someone obviously spoke into her ear piece.
CLARA OLSON: He STILL is here? Havoc just fucked him up! He is oh-and-four! The man has a serious masochistic problem.
The pictures switch to the ‘The Edge’ logo as Clara lowers her head and smirks at the camera.
CLARA OLSON: Anywho...let’s head to Rapture for this week’s version of Rapture Reviews.
The cameras cut to a side-stage, where we see Fallout Warrior, Rapture, standing in front of a monitor.
RAPTURE: Hello folks! Do you have a lot of down time? Are you waiting for your new chainsaw to be delivered by Amazon? Or are you waiting for your local animal shelter to get more animals? FEAR NOT...for in our spare time, us Warriors have to find stuff to fill those hours of inactivity. We can’t all be condemning the souls of the damned like Kevin Hunter...or toasting the perfect marshmallow like Pyro. Some of us have to find other forms of entertainment to waste our time upon, when our stabbing elbow needs a little time to rest.
A movie poster appears on the monitor behind Rapture.
RAPTURE: Circle! I was still reeling from the partially-decent The Platform and searched for movies like it, to find this english gem. The entire movie is just a bunch of people in a black room, on red lights. Every so often...ZAP!!!...one gets shot by this disco light in the middle of the room. No rhyme...no reason...just insta-death.
Rapture chuckles a bit.
RAPTURE: It was odd to watch a ninety-minute movie of one room and no explanation of what the hell was going on...and honestly, even the ending was a little ambiguous...but they managed to do it. Would I recommend it? If you’re desperate. Would I watch it again? Not really. So, meh...because of the amount of death, I guess I’ll give it one blood-soaked t-shirt out of five.
The Circle poster switches to a second poster.
RAPTURE: The third of the Cloverfield Paradox, behind the original Cloverfield and Ten Cloverfield Lane. But this one completely goes into left field as you sit there and try to wonder, how the hell is this connected to the first two? But with that though, you probably watched Ten Cloverfield Lane and thought how the hell did this connect to the first one, right? It all boils down to the last five-ten minutes of the movie. It’s an interesting movie concept that throws you for a loop, because you are left thinking about what the hell is going on and then BAM!!! It hits you like an axe to the head in the dark woods!
Rapture mimics the axe being brought down into someone’s skull.
RAPTURE: While I did enjoy the little things, the idea of the movie was too much for me to handle. Too much thinking involved! So, two slaughtered lambs out of five.
The monitor switches from The Cloverfield Paradox poster, back to the Edge logo.
RAPTURE: Thank you for visiting me on Rapture Reviews. Next time I will be reviewing Crimson Peak and Django Unchained. Let’s head back over to Clara!
The camera cuts back over to Clara.
CLARA OLSON: And with that, let’s hear some words from a sponsor.
Back from the commercial, we see Clara Olson standing in front of a monitor with the words ‘ELITE 7’ on it.
CLARA OLSON: The Elite Seven...a group of individuals who we believe are the CREAM of the crop. A group of individuals, we believe, are the current competitive faces of Project: Honor as a whole. I’ve been going back and forth with Honorable Mentions, because seven is a large number to have to keep adding to it. Last show I didn’t do any, but this show I think I will.
The words ‘Honorable Mentions’ appear on the monitor, replacing the ‘ELITE 7’.
CLARA OLSON: We want to start with an Honorable Mention this week, because there is someone who ALLLLLLMOST deserves to be in the Elite list...but is just a hair away.
CLARA OLSON: Pixie Sloane walked into her match with Kagome Akaibara and showed why SHE should be the one to face Kayla Richards for the Noble Championship at Disputed Territory. And wow, did she impress! Then she shows up near the Main Event, just enough to play mind games with Kayla. All of it is just building up to an awesome Noble Championship Match!!!
The image of Pixie switches to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Seven’.
CLARA OLSON: Now onto our Elite Seven. The first person on the list...
CLARA OLSON: We all saw him make easy work of what was just a shell of the former Warrior Rising Champion. But Mark Hunter has been Grand Champion since the end of February and this upcoming show is the first time he will have placed the title on the line. Is that his fault? Not really. But everyone else is putting their titles on the line left and right while you piss around with the Lil’ Petey’s of the world? You can do better, Mark.
The photo of Hunter fades out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Six’.
CLARA OLSON: Moving on up...
CLARA OLSON: James is making moves on Proving Ground in the X-Factor Tournament, while his partner in crime has his eyes set on Legacy gold. Who knows, in a month's time, we could be looking at the Legacy team as two boys with two titles each. They could be running this whole show!
Jame’s photo quickly transitions to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Five’.
CLARA OLSON: Continuing with another rise...
CLARA OLSON: With another win, MYOJIN keeps adding to his record win total in Project: Honor. The closest person to him right now, is the currently-on-suspension Dickie Watson, with twelve. This X-Factor Tournament is chock full of elite warriors, so it’s interesting to see if MYOJIN can continue this rise.
The words ‘Elite 7: Number Four’ replace the picture of MYOJIN.
CLARA OLSON: Another one taking advantage of the Mark’s fall...
CLARA OLSON: Aiden Reynolds is a BEAST! A win this week and he joins that double-digit win club! And with extra motivation too, since he is ALSO part of the X-Factor Tournament. Three of the final four are in the Elite Seven...so it should be interesting to see where this takes our little list.
Fade out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Three’.
CLARA OLSON: And the final person to cash in on a slight dip...
CLARA OLSON: Kasey Winterborn walked into that cafeteria, locked in with her boss...and earned the victory after getting stabbed with a couple scalpels. Then while she was trying to rinse away the dirt from ANOTHER victory, she was almost peaked in upon by that creep Larry KaChow. Then...that creepy guy showed up…
The set light’s dim a little, turning red for a second, before going back to normal.
CLARA OLSON: Either way, Kasey is Kween!!! Us redheads have to stick together!
The picture of Kasey is quickly replaced by the words ‘Elite 7: Number Two’.
CLARA OLSON: Now, to our usual monuments of perfection.
CLARA OLSON: Shawn took the week off while preparing for a rematch of Legacy-status. With his eyes set on singles gold next week, Shawn chose this time to sit and enjoy a show, popping in at Fallout...much to the dismay of General Manager DeMarco and security. But I’m sure Rock Johnson enjoyed the ticket sales none-the-less.
Shawn’s face 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.
CLARA OLSON: And sitting pretty, as usual...
Last Match: Defeated Alice Knight, Kayla Richards, and Savannah Sunshine (Four-Way Ladies Night Match), Record 10-0, Movement -
CLARA OLSON: Ten-and-oh! Who will stop Queen Elena? Only time will tell as her undefeated streak just keeps going and going.
Clara smiles as the monitor shows the entire Elite 7 list.
The screen hangs on the shot of the Elite 7 one more time before going back to ‘The Edge’ logo, with Clara standing next to it.
CLARA OLSON: That Elite Seven was so hot you’d think Pyro was nearby. But we don’t allow dirty people on this show. So let’s earn some cash to keep this place squeaky clean!
ASCENDANCY XV
LOCATION: Avron B. Fogelman Arena (New Orleans, LA)
We come back from the NLW Ascendancy commercial and we see Clara Olson sitting by at the prediction table, but next to her is a monitor with a familiar face on it...James Edgebrook. Dressed in a green shirt with the words ‘Next Level Wrestling’ on it, James looks better than he did last time.
CLARA OLSON: Welcome back, folks. Time for predictions! And all the way from New Orleans, we have our OTHER Edge host...James Edgebrook. You are looking a little better there, James!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thank you, Clara. Many apologies for the way I acted last time I burst onto the show. I wasn’t doing well there for a while.
CLARA OLSON: Are you doing better now?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Kind of forced to, with getting ready for my Next Level Wrestling match.
CLARA OLSON: Good to hear and good luck against Joe Blow.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thank you.
CLARA OLSON: So, last show I went eleven-and-two...whiffing on three other picks thanks to no contest decisions. But with those eleven wins…
Pictures of everyone who has done predictions, appear on the monitor behind them.
An image of Clara Olson. Stats appear under his image: “Last Show: 11-2, Overall: 54-15”
An image of James Edgebrook appears, next to Clara’s. A few stats appear below his image: “Overall: 51-45”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Overall: 28-19”
An image of Arik Holt appears on the monitor, next to Alara’s picture. Stats appear under his image as well: “Overall: 10-4”
An image of Lil Petey appears on the monitor, next to Arik’s picture. Stats appear under his image as well: “Overall: 5-1”
All of the images fade out and are replaced by the words ”Proving Ground XVI: The Final Four”.
DARK MATCH: Trey Bouchet vs. Serrano Poblano
CLARA OLSON: Trey is new to the scene, and Serrano...has a win. How the hell did he get a win?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: He beat Pat the Postman.
CLARA OLSON: Well hot damn! Still not changing my mind. Trey Bouchet with the victory.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m going to go out on a limb here. Trey hasn’t shown us anything yet and Serrano got the spicy victory last week. I'm gonna go with Serrano being on a HOT streak.
DARK MATCH: Anastasia Baros vs. El Puma
CLARA OLSON: El Loco Taco gets crushed by the Fatale Attraction
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m going to have to agree with you.
OPENING MATCH
Cadillac Jackson & Pat the Postman vs. The Dragonslayers
CLARA OLSON: Pat burned me last week. With that being said, despite him being teamed up with Cadillac Jackson...I just can’t put faith in him. I think The Dragonslayers pull out the victory.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m used to getting burned, as are some people on the Fallout roster.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: But I’m going to have to stick with the Cadillac on this one. Jackson and Pat hang on for Pat’s second win of his Project: Honor career.
WARRIOR RISING CHAMPIONSHIP
Scott Oasis (C) vs. Emmanuelle
CLARA OLSON: Indy Darling is trying something new, placing a ten minute time limit on the Warrior Rising Championship match. But despite Scott holding the Warrior Rising Championship, I just don’t have faith in anyone that close to Big Drip. Emmanuelle becomes our new Warrior Rising Champion.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Despite the fact that I think Big Drip has it’s entertainment value, I just think Emmanuelle is a better warrior than Oasis. So I do agree, Emmanuelle will be holding gold by the end of next week.
CLARA OLSON: Do we really feel the Bulldozer has the ability to overcome MYOJIN
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Not in this lifetime...or the next.
CLARA OLSON: MYOJIN moving on to the X-Factor Tournament Finals.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Agreed.
CLARA OLSON: Here is where this gets hard. Aiden is a win away from joining that double-digit win club...he is tearing through everyone...he is number four in the Elite Seven. BUT...James Raven is seven-and-oh...and no one has been able to find a way to stop him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Until now. I think Aiden Reynolds grabs the victory in a VERY close match.
CLARA OLSON: Well, I’m going to stick with James Raven. Eight-and-oh...and facing MYOJIN in the finals.
CLARA OLSON: This...I...just...no...no, no, no, no...Mark Hunter remains Champion.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: You know Clara...some men just want to watch the world burn. Me? I’m one of them. I know it is far fetched, but I am choosing Lil’ Petey as our NEXT...GRAND...CHAMPION!!!
The image fades out to the Fallout Disputed Territory logo.
CLARA OLSON: An Ascension Scramble to see the order of Ascension Championship shots AND decided who faces the Ascension Champion at the next pay-per-view. With all this talent, I see it coming down to Mason Destruction and Lesley Adora...with Destruction coming out on top.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: While I agree with the finale two, I think it’s going to be Adora coming out in this one. It’s going to be hella close...but I think he introduces Mason to The Light and earns his way to a pay-per-view Championship match.
CLARA OLSON: Kagome is a beast, but the Kween reigns supreme. Kasey earns her fourth title defense, putting her square in the record books as the most successful title defenses.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I do think Kasey earns the victory in this Backyard Brawl. I’m just hoping they keep that red-masked freak away out of the backyard.
CLARA OLSON: I...
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Pyro. I hope he beats the ever living shit out of that bald-headed motherfucker.
CLARA OLSON: Wow. Still hold some animosity?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Don’t know if it will ever go away.
CLARA OLSON: Well I think Julius wins this one in a close fight. I’m not sure if this is Pyro’s type of match.
CLARA OLSON: Havoc is a beast, Savannah already has a win against the Prime Champion, and Valkyrie seems like she is no one to mess with either. I’m sticking to my guns...and going with Savannah on this one.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Havoc...because only Havoc eliminates Havoc. Did you see him CRUSH Hunter last week? I think he earns himself that Noble Championship shot at Guts, Gold, & Glory.
CLARA OLSON: Can anyone doubt Pixie Sloane? She is just a moment or two away from being four-and-oh...and earned her way into this title shot. With that being said, I think Pixie steals the title away from Ms. Richards.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We watched Jason Long beat Kayla...then get embarrassed at Wired Consequences. What makes us think this is any different? Kayla usually learns from her mistakes, rights the ship, then comes back and makes up for where she previously failed. This time it will be against Pixie as she walks out of Rio with the Noble Championship still around her waist.
CLARA OLSON: This is a close one. Elena is undefeated and has been Legacy Champ since January. She already has one win over Shawn...and I think she will earn herself another one here. Elena remains Legacy Champ.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I try not to pick against Shawn as it has proved to be a mistake on multiple occasions. With that being said, its hard to pick against Elena. But...and this is a BIG but...no one can stay perfect forever. Everyone is bound to fall at some point. Then it is how they handle themselves afterwards that shows who they are. I think Shawn Warstein pulls off what multiple people have failed to do...defeat Elena DeDraca.
CLARA OLSON: No help. No roster interference. No escape. A cocky Drago Santiago versus a pissed-off Jason Long. I think Drago retains.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I think Jason Long steps up and shows us why he calls himself the King, pulling a Lil’ Petey-type crowd surfing moment with the Prime Championship in his possession.
The monitor switches to the Edge logo once more. Clara takes a deep breath and looks at the monitor with Edgebrook on it.
CLARA OLSON: Well that was fun, James. Again, I am happy to see you doing better mentally.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I wouldn’t go THAT far. But I’m trying to channel my emotions.
CLARA OLSON: Well good luck in your match tomorrow night.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thank you.
CLARA OLSON: And with that, we head to commercial and come back for our Medals of Honor!!!
We return back from the revived Oath commercial, to see Clara standing in front of a monitor with The Edge logo on it.
CLARA OLSON: It’s nice to see Oath’s small hiatus end and watch as they return back to business. But let us get on to the final segment of the show! A time where I get to hand out awards to those who are deserving. Let’s get these Medals to all those who earned them on last week’s Fallout and Proving Ground’s shows.
The words ‘Best Promo’ appear on screen.
CLARA OLSON: Best Promo. The award is handed to the person or persons, who deliver the best promotional video for their match. We watch video after video after video, digging into each detail and pulling out what we like the best.
A picture of Elena DeDraca appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
CLARA OLSON: The Legacy Champion brought her A-game this week, giving us another peek into her world in getting ready for her Ladies Night Match. And honestly it’s what we all needed. I’d rather not see another doll again, because those things creep me out...but it was nice to watch Elena bring out her inner-Pyro and light them ablaze. I’m sure Savannah was a little shell-shocked with that approach.
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
CLARA OLSON: The Segment of the Night looks at the break between the action. Who showed up and made us want more. Who grabbed our attention. Between Fallout and Proving Ground, we had some good choices. I enjoyed watching Kasey kick that red-masked dude in the face...but in the end...
A picture of Shawn Warstein and James Raven standing in line with their Fallout tickets under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
CLARA OLSON: Legacy tried to use their power to push their way in, but DeMarco wouldn’t have it. But you can’t deny Legacy, can you? They ingeniously found their way into the arena and still showed up ringside for the Main Event.
The picture of Legacy fades away, replaced by the words ‘Feud Of The Night’.
CLARA OLSON: The Feud of the Night highlights a feud that is building or is starting. With a Fallout pay-per-view next week, things are getting spicy over on that side. But in this feud, that takes on a whole new meaning.
Pictures of Pyro and Julius Fairweather fade in underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
CLARA OLSON: This feud took on a whole new twist when Julius chose their pay-per-view match...then Pyro proceeded to catch Julius and not only attack him, but burn off that beautiful afro of his. Now, everyone’s favorite motherfucker is sporting a new look...and a new hatred for whoppers.
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of Pyro and Julius.
CLARA OLSON: Bumps, falls, spots...we all love them...we all secretly enjoy watching them. Spot of the Night highlights who grabbed us with that ‘wow’ factor. Who made the fans’ jaw drop in a true moment of ‘Holy Shit!’?
The monitor starts to show footage from Proving Ground.
After circling the ring a couple of times, Petey slides under the bottom rope with Ozymandias hot on his heels. Having convinced himself that he’ll be able to get the drop on The Butcher, Petey hits the ropes and rockets towards Ozy with an attempted cross body press. Instead, Ozymandias easily catches him in his arms and then presses him high over his head.
TREY BOOKER: Oh god...Ozy wouldn’t hit The World Ender on poor Petey, would he?
J.T. PRICE: If he does, we’ll have two Petey’s for the price of one!
Fortunately for Lil’ Petey, Ozy decides not to slam his victim over his knee, instead content to march around the ring while continuing to press him high overhead. Then, just when it seems as if Ozy could hold Petey in the air forever, he suddenly rushes toward the ring ropes and hurls Petey into the air! The Drip Sensation flies over the ringside area and the guardrail, with the ringside fans as the only thing to break his fall! Yet somehow, that’s exactly what they do! When Petey unclenches his eyes and realizes that he’s not in pain, he finally realizes that the crowd is holding him above their heads and that he has been saved by an impromptu crowd surfing opportunity! With a huge smile on his face, the fans continue to carry Petey further away from the ring, as Ozymandias watches on in utter amazement. [/font
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’ and has a picture of Lil’ Petey crowd surfing away from the ring as Ozymandias watches on.
CLARA OLSON: I wasn’t expecting to see this happen and in return, Ozy charged into the crowd...earning both men a double countout. But what a way to show the crowd loves you.
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
CLARA OLSON: Match of the Night, best match of the back-to-back shows. So much to choose from.
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ appears a picture of Kasey Winterborn and Christian DeMarco standing in the cafeteria.
CLARA OLSON: We saw scalpels, office supplies, metal trays, and a bunch of blood as Kasey Winterborn held onto the Ascension Championship despite being across the floor from her own boss. This whole Kasey-Redd deal has taken some strange twists and turns in management's attempt at protecting Kasey and trying to figure out who this menace is...but Kasey seems pretty content on just moving forward despite the eyes peeking over her shoulder.
‘The words ‘Medal Of Honor’ replace the entire Match of the Night image.
CLARA OLSON: And the blue ribbon to be pinned on our lapel, we move on to the Medal of Honor itself. Who stood out from the pack? Who held their head up in a power pose, large enough to push down the haters?
A picture of Elena DeDraca appears on the screen.
CLARA OLSON: There were multiple people who could have earned this designation as we saw four people earn their way into the second round of the X-Factor Tournament. But Elena not only topped Alice Knight...but she earned victories over Savannah Sunshine and Kayla Richards with one three count. Four tough ladies, one hard-as-nails winner...earns Elena another Medal of Honor.
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
CLARA OLSON: Next week we get to witness an excellent Proving Ground show and what is turning out to be a WILD Disputed Territory. So make sure to watch them both and get ready for our NEXT Edge show!!!
‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play softly in the background.
CLARA OLSON: I will see you all next Sunday at Disputed Territory. My name is Clara Olson and this was The Edge. Goodnight everyone!
Clara waves to the camera as it slowly starts to pan out.
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 echo out of the darkness, before ‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play over the black screen.
An image of the words ‘Elite 7’ starts 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, starting with Havoc destroying Kevin Hunter with the Giga Drill Break.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to see Aiden Reynolds rolling Emmanuelle up with a victory roll.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Fade to a shot of Pyro slamming Jason Long down with the Silent Scream.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to the film of MYOJIN dropping down onto TJ Thompson with the Falling From Heaven.
Flash to see Elena DeDraca holding Alice Knight in the Fist of Hydra.
Finally a video of Ozymandias hitting Mark Hunter with The Sinking Faith.
It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!
Our view centers on Ozymandias holding Mark Hunter’s Grand Championship in his hand . Slowly we fade to black, before coming to a live feed showing Fallout’s redheaded ring announcer, Clara Olson sitting behind the usual silver desk. Dressed in a dark green shirt with a picture of Kasey Winterborn and the Ascension Championship on it...as well as a pair of jeans. Her red hair flows gently down slightly past her shoulders. The words ‘THE EDGE’ shine on the monitor behind her as the music slowly fades.
CLARA OLSON: Hello everyone and WELCOME to The Edge. My name is Clara Olson, your current Edge host while James Edgebrook is off in Louisiana getting his Next Level on! And..
Clara tries to continue with her opening, but the lights flicker and go out.
CLARA OLSON: What the hell?
The lights kick back on, but they are now red...and Clara is no longer there. Instead, we see Redd. Dressed in a now fully working red purge mask and in a red hoodie. The word ‘BAD’ appears over him, coming from the monitor.
REDD: Oh little Kasey, how you’ve been led astray. I simply am there to protect you, there to save the day. While I know you are a strong female, always powerful and elite. I am there to watch the vultures and make sure they do not cheat.
A pause as Redd lets out a sigh.
REDD: But alas everyone looks at me, like I’m something to fear. But did you know that your current situation, is because I whispered into DeMarco’s ear? I left him subtle clues, pointed him in your direction. And now you lay waste to all, the Ascension Champion of perfection.
Another pause.
REDD: Now I don’t ask for anything in return, I don’t ask for a price. My only reward is seeing you prosper, for you to be featured in ALL the bright lights. But stay away from the Peteys and the Warsteins, their goals I can not watch. They only want to lay with you and add another bedpost notch.
The lights begin to flicker out of red for a millisecond, but stay red for the time being.
REDD: My time draws to a close here, I simply wanted to say hi. I will see you at Disputed Territory, we can give it another try. But no more kicks to the face, these masks don’t come cheap. I’ll try not to distract you next time, I’ll try not to make a peep.
And with that the lights go out again. When they come back seconds later, everything is back to normal. Redd is gone and in his place is Clara Olson again.
CLARA OLSON: What the FUCK just happaned?
Security can be seen running onto the set and starting to check the nooks and crannies of the place, while Clara just removes a strand of hair from her face.
CLARA OLSON: Okay...let’s try to get back to normal here and ignore the ruckus going on behind me.
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the screen behind her.
CLARA OLSON: Per usual, we want to start our show off with welcoming the new faces to our Project: Honor family. Or, in this case...the Fallout family.
The camera zooms in on the monitor behind Clara, where we see a few headshots of the new roster members.
We pan out from the monitor showing off the newest faces to grace the roster.
CLARA OLSON: While Anastasia and Trey are welcome additions to Proving Ground...that Terry Savage, wow...pure Fallout material. And now with Kevin Hunter TRULY go-
Clara throws her head back and lets out a sigh as someone obviously spoke into her ear piece.
CLARA OLSON: He STILL is here? Havoc just fucked him up! He is oh-and-four! The man has a serious masochistic problem.
The pictures switch to the ‘The Edge’ logo as Clara lowers her head and smirks at the camera.
CLARA OLSON: Anywho...let’s head to Rapture for this week’s version of Rapture Reviews.
The cameras cut to a side-stage, where we see Fallout Warrior, Rapture, standing in front of a monitor.
RAPTURE: Hello folks! Do you have a lot of down time? Are you waiting for your new chainsaw to be delivered by Amazon? Or are you waiting for your local animal shelter to get more animals? FEAR NOT...for in our spare time, us Warriors have to find stuff to fill those hours of inactivity. We can’t all be condemning the souls of the damned like Kevin Hunter...or toasting the perfect marshmallow like Pyro. Some of us have to find other forms of entertainment to waste our time upon, when our stabbing elbow needs a little time to rest.
A movie poster appears on the monitor behind Rapture.
RAPTURE: Circle! I was still reeling from the partially-decent The Platform and searched for movies like it, to find this english gem. The entire movie is just a bunch of people in a black room, on red lights. Every so often...ZAP!!!...one gets shot by this disco light in the middle of the room. No rhyme...no reason...just insta-death.
Rapture chuckles a bit.
RAPTURE: It was odd to watch a ninety-minute movie of one room and no explanation of what the hell was going on...and honestly, even the ending was a little ambiguous...but they managed to do it. Would I recommend it? If you’re desperate. Would I watch it again? Not really. So, meh...because of the amount of death, I guess I’ll give it one blood-soaked t-shirt out of five.
The Circle poster switches to a second poster.
RAPTURE: The third of the Cloverfield Paradox, behind the original Cloverfield and Ten Cloverfield Lane. But this one completely goes into left field as you sit there and try to wonder, how the hell is this connected to the first two? But with that though, you probably watched Ten Cloverfield Lane and thought how the hell did this connect to the first one, right? It all boils down to the last five-ten minutes of the movie. It’s an interesting movie concept that throws you for a loop, because you are left thinking about what the hell is going on and then BAM!!! It hits you like an axe to the head in the dark woods!
Rapture mimics the axe being brought down into someone’s skull.
RAPTURE: While I did enjoy the little things, the idea of the movie was too much for me to handle. Too much thinking involved! So, two slaughtered lambs out of five.
The monitor switches from The Cloverfield Paradox poster, back to the Edge logo.
RAPTURE: Thank you for visiting me on Rapture Reviews. Next time I will be reviewing Crimson Peak and Django Unchained. Let’s head back over to Clara!
The camera cuts back over to Clara.
CLARA OLSON: And with that, let’s hear some words from a sponsor.
Back from the commercial, we see Clara Olson standing in front of a monitor with the words ‘ELITE 7’ on it.
CLARA OLSON: The Elite Seven...a group of individuals who we believe are the CREAM of the crop. A group of individuals, we believe, are the current competitive faces of Project: Honor as a whole. I’ve been going back and forth with Honorable Mentions, because seven is a large number to have to keep adding to it. Last show I didn’t do any, but this show I think I will.
The words ‘Honorable Mentions’ appear on the monitor, replacing the ‘ELITE 7’.
CLARA OLSON: We want to start with an Honorable Mention this week, because there is someone who ALLLLLLMOST deserves to be in the Elite list...but is just a hair away.
CLARA OLSON: Pixie Sloane walked into her match with Kagome Akaibara and showed why SHE should be the one to face Kayla Richards for the Noble Championship at Disputed Territory. And wow, did she impress! Then she shows up near the Main Event, just enough to play mind games with Kayla. All of it is just building up to an awesome Noble Championship Match!!!
The image of Pixie switches to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Seven’.
CLARA OLSON: Now onto our Elite Seven. The first person on the list...
Last Show: Defeated Euan Hill, Record: 7-3, Movement: 4 Down
CLARA OLSON: We all saw him make easy work of what was just a shell of the former Warrior Rising Champion. But Mark Hunter has been Grand Champion since the end of February and this upcoming show is the first time he will have placed the title on the line. Is that his fault? Not really. But everyone else is putting their titles on the line left and right while you piss around with the Lil’ Petey’s of the world? You can do better, Mark.
The photo of Hunter fades out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Six’.
CLARA OLSON: Moving on up...
Last Match: Defeated Blair Regent (First Round: X-Factor Tournament), Record: 7-0, Movement: 1 Up
CLARA OLSON: James is making moves on Proving Ground in the X-Factor Tournament, while his partner in crime has his eyes set on Legacy gold. Who knows, in a month's time, we could be looking at the Legacy team as two boys with two titles each. They could be running this whole show!
Jame’s photo quickly transitions to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Five’.
CLARA OLSON: Continuing with another rise...
Last Match: Defeated TJ Thompson (First Round: X-Factor Tournament), Record: 15-4, Movement: 1 Up
CLARA OLSON: With another win, MYOJIN keeps adding to his record win total in Project: Honor. The closest person to him right now, is the currently-on-suspension Dickie Watson, with twelve. This X-Factor Tournament is chock full of elite warriors, so it’s interesting to see if MYOJIN can continue this rise.
The words ‘Elite 7: Number Four’ replace the picture of MYOJIN.
CLARA OLSON: Another one taking advantage of the Mark’s fall...
Last Match: Defeated Emmanuelle (First Round: X-Factor Tournament), Record 9-2, Movement: 1 Up
CLARA OLSON: Aiden Reynolds is a BEAST! A win this week and he joins that double-digit win club! And with extra motivation too, since he is ALSO part of the X-Factor Tournament. Three of the final four are in the Elite Seven...so it should be interesting to see where this takes our little list.
Fade out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Three’.
CLARA OLSON: And the final person to cash in on a slight dip...
Last Match: Defeated Christian DeMarco (Ascension Championship Cafeteria Match), Record 11-2, Movement 1 Up
CLARA OLSON: Kasey Winterborn walked into that cafeteria, locked in with her boss...and earned the victory after getting stabbed with a couple scalpels. Then while she was trying to rinse away the dirt from ANOTHER victory, she was almost peaked in upon by that creep Larry KaChow. Then...that creepy guy showed up…
The set light’s dim a little, turning red for a second, before going back to normal.
CLARA OLSON: Either way, Kasey is Kween!!! Us redheads have to stick together!
The picture of Kasey is quickly replaced by the words ‘Elite 7: Number Two’.
CLARA OLSON: Now, to our usual monuments of perfection.
Last Match: Lost to Ozymandias, Record 10-2, Movement: -
CLARA OLSON: Shawn took the week off while preparing for a rematch of Legacy-status. With his eyes set on singles gold next week, Shawn chose this time to sit and enjoy a show, popping in at Fallout...much to the dismay of General Manager DeMarco and security. But I’m sure Rock Johnson enjoyed the ticket sales none-the-less.
Shawn’s face 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.
CLARA OLSON: And sitting pretty, as usual...
Last Match: Defeated Alice Knight, Kayla Richards, and Savannah Sunshine (Four-Way Ladies Night Match), Record 10-0, Movement -
CLARA OLSON: Ten-and-oh! Who will stop Queen Elena? Only time will tell as her undefeated streak just keeps going and going.
Clara smiles as the monitor shows the entire Elite 7 list.
The screen hangs on the shot of the Elite 7 one more time before going back to ‘The Edge’ logo, with Clara standing next to it.
CLARA OLSON: That Elite Seven was so hot you’d think Pyro was nearby. But we don’t allow dirty people on this show. So let’s earn some cash to keep this place squeaky clean!

Al Jaborni & Joshua Darkwood vs. Kai D. Oh & Graham Baker
The Academy vs. El Rey & Scott Hampton
The Goons vs. The New South
We come back from the NLW Ascendancy commercial and we see Clara Olson sitting by at the prediction table, but next to her is a monitor with a familiar face on it...James Edgebrook. Dressed in a green shirt with the words ‘Next Level Wrestling’ on it, James looks better than he did last time.
CLARA OLSON: Welcome back, folks. Time for predictions! And all the way from New Orleans, we have our OTHER Edge host...James Edgebrook. You are looking a little better there, James!
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thank you, Clara. Many apologies for the way I acted last time I burst onto the show. I wasn’t doing well there for a while.
CLARA OLSON: Are you doing better now?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Kind of forced to, with getting ready for my Next Level Wrestling match.
CLARA OLSON: Good to hear and good luck against Joe Blow.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thank you.
CLARA OLSON: So, last show I went eleven-and-two...whiffing on three other picks thanks to no contest decisions. But with those eleven wins…
Pictures of everyone who has done predictions, appear on the monitor behind them.
An image of Clara Olson. Stats appear under his image: “Last Show: 11-2, Overall: 54-15”
An image of James Edgebrook appears, next to Clara’s. A few stats appear below his image: “Overall: 51-45”
An image of Alara Adams appears on the monitor, next to James’ picture. Stats appear under her image as well: “Overall: 28-19”
An image of Arik Holt appears on the monitor, next to Alara’s picture. Stats appear under his image as well: “Overall: 10-4”
An image of Lil Petey appears on the monitor, next to Arik’s picture. Stats appear under his image as well: “Overall: 5-1”
All of the images fade out and are replaced by the words ”Proving Ground XVI: The Final Four”.
DARK MATCH: Trey Bouchet vs. Serrano Poblano
CLARA OLSON: Trey is new to the scene, and Serrano...has a win. How the hell did he get a win?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: He beat Pat the Postman.
CLARA OLSON: Well hot damn! Still not changing my mind. Trey Bouchet with the victory.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m going to go out on a limb here. Trey hasn’t shown us anything yet and Serrano got the spicy victory last week. I'm gonna go with Serrano being on a HOT streak.
DARK MATCH: Anastasia Baros vs. El Puma
CLARA OLSON: El Loco Taco gets crushed by the Fatale Attraction
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m going to have to agree with you.
OPENING MATCH
Cadillac Jackson & Pat the Postman vs. The Dragonslayers
CLARA OLSON: Pat burned me last week. With that being said, despite him being teamed up with Cadillac Jackson...I just can’t put faith in him. I think The Dragonslayers pull out the victory.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I’m used to getting burned, as are some people on the Fallout roster.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: But I’m going to have to stick with the Cadillac on this one. Jackson and Pat hang on for Pat’s second win of his Project: Honor career.
WARRIOR RISING CHAMPIONSHIP
Scott Oasis (C) vs. Emmanuelle
CLARA OLSON: Indy Darling is trying something new, placing a ten minute time limit on the Warrior Rising Championship match. But despite Scott holding the Warrior Rising Championship, I just don’t have faith in anyone that close to Big Drip. Emmanuelle becomes our new Warrior Rising Champion.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Despite the fact that I think Big Drip has it’s entertainment value, I just think Emmanuelle is a better warrior than Oasis. So I do agree, Emmanuelle will be holding gold by the end of next week.
X-FACTOR CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT: ROUND 2
Lance Williams vs. MYOJIN
Lance Williams vs. MYOJIN
CLARA OLSON: Do we really feel the Bulldozer has the ability to overcome MYOJIN
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Not in this lifetime...or the next.
CLARA OLSON: MYOJIN moving on to the X-Factor Tournament Finals.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Agreed.
X-FACTOR CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT: ROUND 2
Aiden Reynolds vs. James Raven
Aiden Reynolds vs. James Raven
CLARA OLSON: Here is where this gets hard. Aiden is a win away from joining that double-digit win club...he is tearing through everyone...he is number four in the Elite Seven. BUT...James Raven is seven-and-oh...and no one has been able to find a way to stop him.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Until now. I think Aiden Reynolds grabs the victory in a VERY close match.
CLARA OLSON: Well, I’m going to stick with James Raven. Eight-and-oh...and facing MYOJIN in the finals.
MAIN EVENT
GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Mark Hunter (C) vs. Lil’ Petey
GRAND CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Mark Hunter (C) vs. Lil’ Petey
CLARA OLSON: This...I...just...no...no, no, no, no...Mark Hunter remains Champion.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: You know Clara...some men just want to watch the world burn. Me? I’m one of them. I know it is far fetched, but I am choosing Lil’ Petey as our NEXT...GRAND...CHAMPION!!!
The image fades out to the Fallout Disputed Territory logo.
CLARA OLSON: An Ascension Scramble to see the order of Ascension Championship shots AND decided who faces the Ascension Champion at the next pay-per-view. With all this talent, I see it coming down to Mason Destruction and Lesley Adora...with Destruction coming out on top.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: While I agree with the finale two, I think it’s going to be Adora coming out in this one. It’s going to be hella close...but I think he introduces Mason to The Light and earns his way to a pay-per-view Championship match.
CLARA OLSON: Kagome is a beast, but the Kween reigns supreme. Kasey earns her fourth title defense, putting her square in the record books as the most successful title defenses.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I do think Kasey earns the victory in this Backyard Brawl. I’m just hoping they keep that red-masked freak away out of the backyard.
CLARA OLSON: I...
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Pyro. I hope he beats the ever living shit out of that bald-headed motherfucker.
CLARA OLSON: Wow. Still hold some animosity?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Don’t know if it will ever go away.
CLARA OLSON: Well I think Julius wins this one in a close fight. I’m not sure if this is Pyro’s type of match.
CLARA OLSON: Havoc is a beast, Savannah already has a win against the Prime Champion, and Valkyrie seems like she is no one to mess with either. I’m sticking to my guns...and going with Savannah on this one.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Havoc...because only Havoc eliminates Havoc. Did you see him CRUSH Hunter last week? I think he earns himself that Noble Championship shot at Guts, Gold, & Glory.
CLARA OLSON: Can anyone doubt Pixie Sloane? She is just a moment or two away from being four-and-oh...and earned her way into this title shot. With that being said, I think Pixie steals the title away from Ms. Richards.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: We watched Jason Long beat Kayla...then get embarrassed at Wired Consequences. What makes us think this is any different? Kayla usually learns from her mistakes, rights the ship, then comes back and makes up for where she previously failed. This time it will be against Pixie as she walks out of Rio with the Noble Championship still around her waist.
CLARA OLSON: This is a close one. Elena is undefeated and has been Legacy Champ since January. She already has one win over Shawn...and I think she will earn herself another one here. Elena remains Legacy Champ.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I try not to pick against Shawn as it has proved to be a mistake on multiple occasions. With that being said, its hard to pick against Elena. But...and this is a BIG but...no one can stay perfect forever. Everyone is bound to fall at some point. Then it is how they handle themselves afterwards that shows who they are. I think Shawn Warstein pulls off what multiple people have failed to do...defeat Elena DeDraca.
CLARA OLSON: No help. No roster interference. No escape. A cocky Drago Santiago versus a pissed-off Jason Long. I think Drago retains.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I think Jason Long steps up and shows us why he calls himself the King, pulling a Lil’ Petey-type crowd surfing moment with the Prime Championship in his possession.
The monitor switches to the Edge logo once more. Clara takes a deep breath and looks at the monitor with Edgebrook on it.
CLARA OLSON: Well that was fun, James. Again, I am happy to see you doing better mentally.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I wouldn’t go THAT far. But I’m trying to channel my emotions.
CLARA OLSON: Well good luck in your match tomorrow night.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thank you.
CLARA OLSON: And with that, we head to commercial and come back for our Medals of Honor!!!

Tabula Rasa Championship: El Diablo Blanco (C) vs. Jonathan Cage
Astaroth & Locke Helms vs. Matt Shields
We return back from the revived Oath commercial, to see Clara standing in front of a monitor with The Edge logo on it.
CLARA OLSON: It’s nice to see Oath’s small hiatus end and watch as they return back to business. But let us get on to the final segment of the show! A time where I get to hand out awards to those who are deserving. Let’s get these Medals to all those who earned them on last week’s Fallout and Proving Ground’s shows.
The words ‘Best Promo’ appear on screen.
CLARA OLSON: Best Promo. The award is handed to the person or persons, who deliver the best promotional video for their match. We watch video after video after video, digging into each detail and pulling out what we like the best.
A picture of Elena DeDraca appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
CLARA OLSON: The Legacy Champion brought her A-game this week, giving us another peek into her world in getting ready for her Ladies Night Match. And honestly it’s what we all needed. I’d rather not see another doll again, because those things creep me out...but it was nice to watch Elena bring out her inner-Pyro and light them ablaze. I’m sure Savannah was a little shell-shocked with that approach.
The screen goes blank for a moment, before showing the words ‘Segment Of The Night’.
CLARA OLSON: The Segment of the Night looks at the break between the action. Who showed up and made us want more. Who grabbed our attention. Between Fallout and Proving Ground, we had some good choices. I enjoyed watching Kasey kick that red-masked dude in the face...but in the end...
A picture of Shawn Warstein and James Raven standing in line with their Fallout tickets under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
CLARA OLSON: Legacy tried to use their power to push their way in, but DeMarco wouldn’t have it. But you can’t deny Legacy, can you? They ingeniously found their way into the arena and still showed up ringside for the Main Event.
The picture of Legacy fades away, replaced by the words ‘Feud Of The Night’.
CLARA OLSON: The Feud of the Night highlights a feud that is building or is starting. With a Fallout pay-per-view next week, things are getting spicy over on that side. But in this feud, that takes on a whole new meaning.
Pictures of Pyro and Julius Fairweather fade in underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
CLARA OLSON: This feud took on a whole new twist when Julius chose their pay-per-view match...then Pyro proceeded to catch Julius and not only attack him, but burn off that beautiful afro of his. Now, everyone’s favorite motherfucker is sporting a new look...and a new hatred for whoppers.
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of Pyro and Julius.
CLARA OLSON: Bumps, falls, spots...we all love them...we all secretly enjoy watching them. Spot of the Night highlights who grabbed us with that ‘wow’ factor. Who made the fans’ jaw drop in a true moment of ‘Holy Shit!’?
The monitor starts to show footage from Proving Ground.
After circling the ring a couple of times, Petey slides under the bottom rope with Ozymandias hot on his heels. Having convinced himself that he’ll be able to get the drop on The Butcher, Petey hits the ropes and rockets towards Ozy with an attempted cross body press. Instead, Ozymandias easily catches him in his arms and then presses him high over his head.
TREY BOOKER: Oh god...Ozy wouldn’t hit The World Ender on poor Petey, would he?
J.T. PRICE: If he does, we’ll have two Petey’s for the price of one!
Fortunately for Lil’ Petey, Ozy decides not to slam his victim over his knee, instead content to march around the ring while continuing to press him high overhead. Then, just when it seems as if Ozy could hold Petey in the air forever, he suddenly rushes toward the ring ropes and hurls Petey into the air! The Drip Sensation flies over the ringside area and the guardrail, with the ringside fans as the only thing to break his fall! Yet somehow, that’s exactly what they do! When Petey unclenches his eyes and realizes that he’s not in pain, he finally realizes that the crowd is holding him above their heads and that he has been saved by an impromptu crowd surfing opportunity! With a huge smile on his face, the fans continue to carry Petey further away from the ring, as Ozymandias watches on in utter amazement. [/font
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’ and has a picture of Lil’ Petey crowd surfing away from the ring as Ozymandias watches on.
CLARA OLSON: I wasn’t expecting to see this happen and in return, Ozy charged into the crowd...earning both men a double countout. But what a way to show the crowd loves you.
The words and picture on the screen, are replaced by ‘Match Of The Night’
CLARA OLSON: Match of the Night, best match of the back-to-back shows. So much to choose from.
Under the words ‘Match of The Night’ appears a picture of Kasey Winterborn and Christian DeMarco standing in the cafeteria.
CLARA OLSON: We saw scalpels, office supplies, metal trays, and a bunch of blood as Kasey Winterborn held onto the Ascension Championship despite being across the floor from her own boss. This whole Kasey-Redd deal has taken some strange twists and turns in management's attempt at protecting Kasey and trying to figure out who this menace is...but Kasey seems pretty content on just moving forward despite the eyes peeking over her shoulder.
‘The words ‘Medal Of Honor’ replace the entire Match of the Night image.
CLARA OLSON: And the blue ribbon to be pinned on our lapel, we move on to the Medal of Honor itself. Who stood out from the pack? Who held their head up in a power pose, large enough to push down the haters?
A picture of Elena DeDraca appears on the screen.
CLARA OLSON: There were multiple people who could have earned this designation as we saw four people earn their way into the second round of the X-Factor Tournament. But Elena not only topped Alice Knight...but she earned victories over Savannah Sunshine and Kayla Richards with one three count. Four tough ladies, one hard-as-nails winner...earns Elena another Medal of Honor.
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
CLARA OLSON: Next week we get to witness an excellent Proving Ground show and what is turning out to be a WILD Disputed Territory. So make sure to watch them both and get ready for our NEXT Edge show!!!
‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play softly in the background.
CLARA OLSON: I will see you all next Sunday at Disputed Territory. My name is Clara Olson and this was The Edge. Goodnight everyone!
Clara waves to the camera as it slowly starts to pan out.
The music fades out as we go to a black screen with a Project: Honor logo on it.
