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 MYOJIN running square into Lance Williams’ ‘The Raging Bull’.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to see Pixie Sloane dropping Kayla with a ‘Pixie Dust’.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Fade to a shot of James Raven reversing the Gold Coast Cutter into ‘The Flight of the Raven’ onto Aiden Reynolds.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to the film of Jason Long blasting Drago Santiago with the ‘Thronebreaker‘ through sheets of glass and the inferno.
Flash to see Ozymandias blasting Mark Hunter in the head with the Grand Championship Title.
Finally a video of Shawn Warstein hitting ‘Heavy Is The Head’ on Elena DeDraca.
It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!
Our view centers on Shawn Warstein as he raises the Legacy Championship Title into the air. 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 lavender-colored dress, Clara flashes a smile as 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 for this week, while...
Clara stops talking and presses on the earpiece in her right ear.
CLARA OLSON: Hold on a moment folks…
The Edge logo on the monitor disappears and the monitor itself goes to a shot full of just television snow/static.
CLARA OLSON: Seems we are having issues in the production truck.
The camera’s cut to the vehicle itself, a large silver van, with antenna and dishes sticking out of it. The van is rocking back and forth, showing there is something going on in the fan. Unrecognizable yelling can be heard.
CLARA OLSON: I’m being told that someone got into the production van…
The cameraman goes to head towards the door but is bumped backwards by security who are trying to pull the perpetrator out. The cameraman gets himself together and backs away to see it is taking four security guards to pull...Legacy Champion and one-half of the Tag Team Champions, ‘Tyrant’ Shawn Warstein, out of the truck. His hands are gripping tightly to a bunch of wires and plugs that were ripped out of their electronic devices.
CLARA OLSON: What the hell?
SHAWN WARSTEIN: FUCK this stupid ass show. I should decree you son-of-a-bitches out of existence…
The guards continue to struggle to pull the Champ away.
SHAWN WARSTEIN: DON’T YOU FUCKING KNOW WHO I AM? I’LL SHOW YOU! I’LL SHOW ALL OF YOU!!!
The camera cuts back to inside the studio, where Clara Olson is standing...still a little bewildered.
CLARA OLSON: I’m still confused as hell, but let’s try to keep chugging along.
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the now fixed screen behind her.
CLARA OLSON: Per usual, we want to start our show off with welcoming the new faces to our Project: Honor family. This week is extra special, because just a few days ago...Rock Johnson announced on Social Media that Project: Honor will be adding a THIRD BRAND to our growing business. So besides Proving Ground and Fallout, we will now host a developmental brand called Supernova. And of course, you know we have brand new people for that too!!!
The camera zooms in on the monitor behind Clara, where we see headshots of all the new roster members.
We pan out from the monitor showing off the newest faces to grace the roster.
CLARA OLSON: So much purple! Love to see it!
The pictures switch to the ‘The Edge’ logo as Clara lowers her head and smirks at the camera.
CLARA OLSON: And as normal, with the introduction of our newest Project: Honor brothers and sisters...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! Have you run out of matches, Pyro? Did Savannah Sunshine find her bag of jelly beans is now full of empty beans? Has Ozymandias finished praying to Cthulhu, our watery Lord and Savior, and now doesn’t know what to do with his time? FEAR NOT...for in our spare time, us Warriors have to find stuff to fill those hours of inactivity. We can’t all be trying to shine the light on us tortured souls like Lesley Adora or dropping those drippy beats like Lil’ Petey. Some of us have to find other forms of entertainment to waste our time upon, when our knee feels a little strained after running down our latest victim.
A movie poster appears on the monitor behind Rapture.
RAPTURE: Crimson Peak. A movie that came out in twenty-fifteen and banked on Tom Hiddleston’s star power and Guillermo Del Toro’s excellent directing skills. There was death, there was blood, there were ghosts...there was generally fuckery going on. It’s what someone like me loves to see. The only oddball thing is...it felt like I had seen a ghost myself. One of the guys who you would consider an protagonist...looked an awful lot like Kevin Hunter or even that guy that used to be here...the Strader kid. Although, this guy was clean shaven, had short hair, and was a Doctor of some sorts. After finishing it though, I would have to give it a 4 out of 5 ‘At least Jason doesn’t touch the LITTLE kids’ marks.
The Crimson Peak poster switches to a second poster.
RAPTURE: Another movie that I just had a hard time finding the right moment for when it came around...I finally got to sit down and watch it. How can you NOT like Julius...I mean Samuel L Jackson, Leonardo Dicapitate-O, Jamie Foxx, and that damn good actor in Christoph Waltz. From the start, I quite enjoyed it. It was nice to see the complete dickheads of this movie get blown away, time after time after time. And while I usually don’t like cheering for the good guy, Django brings that revenge factor that is just so scrumptious in a movie. You just can’t cheer AGAINST someone who is causing so much bloodshed in the name of revenge. I could have done without the love stuff, but it was revenge none-the-less.
Rapture smiles underneath his mask and lets out a pleasant sigh.
RAPTURE: I didn’t have to think too much during the movie, besides just kicking back and watching Django unleash his fury. I would have to give it a perfect five William James Ramear’s out of five...even if he only appeared in the movie as two characters. But when you get Lord Raiden, you book him as much as possible!
The monitor switches from the Django Unchained poster, back to the Edge logo.
RAPTURE: Thank you for visiting me on Rapture Reviews. Next time I will be reviewing Shutter Island and Time Trap. Let’s head back over to Clara!
The camera cuts back over to Clara.
CLARA OLSON: Thank you, Rapture. LET’S PAY THE MAN!!!
EPISODE 47
New Theatre, Cariff, Wales
Monday, May 31st, 2021
Dirk Buchanan vs Flux Moonstar
Reginald Dampshaw III vs Sawyer
Harper Quinn vs Vin Halsted
Lazarus Arjen & Andrew Arcus vs Ellie Quinn & Skylar Edwards
Stephanie Matsuda vs Graham Baker
Charlie Jones vs Yasmine Atkins
Tyler Wolfe vs Jason Long
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 some Honorable Mentions this week, because Project: Honor is full of people doing great things and not everyone can be in the Elite Seven. But some are sure close...
CLARA OLSON: Emmanuelle walked into Proving Ground with a decent record and barely a mark made on her fellow PG warriors. In one night...everything changed. Now Emmanuelle can walk with her head up and a Warrior Rising Championship around her waist!
The picture of Emmanuelle fades to another Honorable Mention.
CLARA OLSON: Yeah, I know he was ranked last show and he technically won. But for the brief moment, he almost let Lil Petey stand tall as the Grand Champion. Yeah, Ozymandias had a hand in it...but the Elite just can’t let that shit happen!
The image of Mark Hunter switches to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Seven’.
CLARA OLSON: Now onto our Elite Seven. The first person on the list...
Last Show: Lost to Lance Williams (Second Round: X-Factor Tournament, Record: 15-5, Movement: 2 Down
CLARA OLSON: In a RARE sighting, this past Proving Ground, we saw MYOJIN take an ‘L’. Yeah, he probably was distracted by his upcoming movie schedule. But a loss is a loss, especially when it is against suddenly hot-handed Lance Williams. That boy was oh-and-three and has rattled off three wins in a row, with poor MYO being the latest. I know MYOJIN will bounce back...but will he take another tumble on our list?
The photo of MYOJIN fades out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Six’.
CLARA OLSON: Also coming down...
Last Match: Lost to James Raven (Second Round: X-Factor Tournament), Record: 9-3, Movement: 2 Down
CLARA OLSON: Aiden is another highly talented individual who just had an off week. Although compared to MYOJIN’s match...I think Aiden definitely had the harder of the two. Especially those Raven abs. Anyway, I don’t think it will take long for Aiden to regain his footing on our Elite Seven...but only time will tell.
Aiden’s photo quickly transitions to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Five’.
CLARA OLSON: And our first newcomer of the list, in a bit.
Last Match: Defeated Kayla Richards (Noble Championship Match), Record: 4-1, Movement: Up
CLARA OLSON: Not too long ago, Pixie was just a new name for the Project: Honor faithful. She made a splash by defeating Kayla, calling out Kagome Akaibara, then beating Kagome for the Noble Championship number one contender spot. And unlike Jason Long did at Wired Consequences, Pixie took charge of that chance and took MAJOR advantage of it, walking out of Disputed Territory as the NEW NOBLE CHAMPION!!!
The words ‘Elite 7: Number Four’ replace the picture of Pixie.
CLARA OLSON: Another rising in the rankings...
Last Match: Defeated Aiden Reynolds (Second Round: X-Factor Tournament), Record 8-0, Movement: 2 Up
CLARA OLSON: James is creeping towards that ten-and-oh mark that Elena DeDraca set. And now that he is sporting a four-and-oh record in both tag AND singles action...James has become his own man. Can Mr Abs...I mean...Mr Raven continue moving on up with an X-Factor Championship win?
Fade out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Three’.
CLARA OLSON: Speaking of power. One half of what the rumor mills are calling the newest power couple...
Last Match: Defeated Kagome Akaibara (Ascension Championship Backyard Brawl Match), Record 12-2, Movement 1 Up
CLARA OLSON: We watched as Kasey beat Kagome from swingset to monkey bars, at Disputed Territory. And after impaling Akaibara with not one...BUT TWO LAWN DARTS...we see the viciousness truly, in the Kween. But it seems she has also ruffled the feathers of her little love-sick bird in Redd. No telling what that little fucker has in mind next for Kasey.
The set light’s dim a little, turning red for a second, before going back to normal.
CLARA OLSON: STOP YOUR SHIT!!!
The picture of Kasey is quickly replaced by the words ‘Elite 7: Number Two’.
CLARA OLSON: Now to the top of our board...where these two have been battling for Project: Honor supremacy since Dickie was told to take his sabbatical.
Last Match: Lost to Shawn Warstein (Legacy Championship Match), Record 10-1, Movement: 1 Down
CLARA OLSON: Not only does it feel weird to have Elena at number two...but to have that one in her loss column. Many of us were curious to see not just when Elena would fall...but IF she would fall. And it took a hell of an effort to do it. Now she just has to dust herself off, fix that GORGEOUS makeup...and get back in that ring. Because we all know she isn’t going away any time soon.
Elena’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 of course with Elena at number two...
Last Match: Defeated Elena DeDraca (Legacy Championship Match), Record 11-2, Movement 1 Up
CLARA OLSON: I must give credit where credit is due. Shawn Warstein stepped up, took all the people who doubted him...and shut them the FUCK up. I must say, I was one of them. After I removed my foot from my mouth, I must say...the Tyrant stands above us all. Well...at least until Elena comes to get her title back.
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: Lots of surprises there! And next up will be predictions! But...let’s keep the lights on a little longer. Also, Mamma needs a new pair of shoes!!!
We come back from the commercials for the other Project: Honor exclusives 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. Look at you, Mr Wrestler.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: yeah, yeah, yeah. I lost against Joe Blow and I’m not sure how well I’m going to do against Wellington Dunne.
CLARA OLSON: I have faith in you.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Good thing someone does.
CLARA OLSON: So, last show I went eight-and-four, while James went five-and-seven.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: See, not very good at anything. Just sort of mediocre.
Pictures of everyone who has made predictions, appear on the monitor behind them.
An image of Clara Olson. Stats appear under his image: “Last Show: 8-4, Overall: 62-19”
An image of James Edgebrook appears, next to Clara’s. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Show: 5-7, Overall: 56-52”
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 ”Fallout VII: Undisputed”.
CLARA OLSON: Kagome is still probably healing from that Backyard Brawl Match...and it doesn’t seem like she has too much to worry about this week. This Terry guy is new and seems like he is a little too much of a lush to be considered any good. Seems like he is more of sparkle and pizazz, but little talent. Kagome picks up a win.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Kagome has been having a hard time since defeating Finale. I agree with you though. I haven’t seen anything from Terry to prove he can compete.
DARK MATCH: Alice Knight vs Kevin Hunter
CLARA OLSON: The return of FallHOOT has all us little owlettes cheering for Alice once again. Meanwhile, I’m still shocked they have Kevin Hunter on the payroll.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Rumor is they are only keeping him around to fulfill their Equal Opportunity Employer quota of ‘Douchey Guys Who Think They Are The Devil’. Alice with the big welcome back win.
CLARA OLSON: Feed the Havoc?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Feed the Havoc!
CLARA OLSON: In what is being referred to as a ‘Repeat Day’ Tag Match, in honor of National Repeat Day...we are seeing three Disputed Territory matches being pushed into one. But the INTERESTING part is...Pixie and Sunshine are slated to meet at Guts, Gold, and Glory in July...for that Noble Championship. With a brewing war between the two, I just have a feeling that the team of Pyro, Kayla, and Valkyrie is going to reign supreme.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I agree with the winner, merely because I want to see Julius Fairweather experience more pain.
CLARA OLSON: And our Main Event of this short Fallout, is an interesting one. Kasey Winterborn partakes in her first Tag Team match in her Project: Honor career...but her Ascension Championship is on the line. So if her partner pins the other team...she wins...but she loses her title. I just can’t vote against the Ascension Kween. I even think she keeps her Championship.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: While I do think Kasey has the ability to keep her title...I just feel something is going to go wrong with all the moving parts in this match. I think Mason Destruction walks out of this match as the NEW Ascension Champion.
The image switches over to ‘Proving Ground XVII: The Highway To Hell’.
CLARA OLSON: Fallout native Rapture, travels over to the blue brand to face newcomer Brandon Hendrix. Rapture, buddy...we love you on The Edge...but I can’t choose you over that beast of a man.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I have the balls to, though. It is going to be close, but I think Rapture breaks his losing streak...earning himself a one in the win column.
CLARA OLSON: Anatasia no-showed at the last Proving Ground and rumor has it, Trey is moving to Supernova. So this match...while entertaining...might have no real effect on Proving Ground. Either way, I think Trey gets the victory in walk off fashion.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Bouchet with the win, probably because Baros pulls another fast one and thinks her looks are just going to automatically get her places.
CLARA OLSON: Oh...this is going to burn. Aiden with the destruction of Serrano, in a match to cleanse Reynolds’ pallet of last shows loss.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is just cruel and unusual punishment. Aiden becomes the latest to enter the double-digit win club.
CLARA OLSON: Indy Darling is scheduling a bunch of squash matches this time around. The Dragonslayers couldn’t even beat Big Drip...what makes anyone think they can beat Legacy? Shawn and James continue forward.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Not even a question.
CLARA OLSON: Another trios match, this time with Proving Ground flare. I think the team of Emmanuelle, Pat, and Cadillac get it done in the end.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Don’t know why I am saying this...but I think Oasis, TJ, and Yung manage to find a way to do it. Hang it up for the win.
CLARA OLSON: Are you crazy?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I just might be.
CLARA OLSON: And finally...no question about this Main Event. Ozy with the utter SQUASH!
James takes in a deep breath, then lets out a defeated sigh.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ...lil petey…
CLARA OLSON: ...What?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Lil’ Petey, okay? I just have this feeling that somehow Mark Hunter gets involved, fucks around, gets Lil’ Petey the win.
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: Woooooow. You have faith in Big Drip this week, James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Not sure why, but yeah...I think I do.
CLARA OLSON: Well good luck in your match at Hostile Intent.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thank you.
CLARA OLSON: And with that, we head to one last commercial and come back for our Medals of Honor!!!
SUPERNOVA I
SUNDAY, JUNE 27th, 2021
HOUSE OF BLUES ORLANDO (DISNEY SPRINGS, LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL)
MATCHES TBA!!!
We return back from the Supernova commercial, to see Clara standing in front of a monitor with The Edge logo on it.
CLARA OLSON: Welcome 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 Shawn Warstein appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
CLARA OLSON: In a beautiful bit of cinema that I could have kept watching for hours, we saw Shawn put his feelings out into the world. We saw highs, we saw lows, we saw what he was willing to give...to become the Legacy Champion. And he succeeded.
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 Indy Darling standing in front of a sign that read ‘Sensitivity Training’ appears under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
CLARA OLSON: Indy tried to get some of his troops in line. But even with Indy trying to make sure everything was perfect, the knuckleheads of Proving Ground still managed to fuck things up and mentally burned it to the ground.
The picture of Indy 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.
A picture of Drago Santiago and Jason Long standing across from each other in the ring, surrounded by fans, fades in underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
CLARA OLSON: In what has been brewing for a couple shows, these two finally got their hands on each other...as did the fans. And after much blood shed, broken glass, and many broken hearts...Jason Long came out as the Champion...and Drago was carried off into the ether.
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of the Prime Championship Match.
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 Disputed Territory.
-AND NO ONE’S HOME! Santiago escapes one more time as Long crashes down hard into the light tube ladder! There’s glass and blood everywhere from both Drago and Long, as Drago falls onto Long and covers one more time!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
NO!!! UNBELIEVABLY, LONG MANAGED TO KICK OUT ONCE MORE! Drago grits his teeth, and slides out of the ring, collecting two more chairs and two thick sheets of glass. He also retrieves, from his boot, a bottle of lighter fluid! He dumps the fluid onto the glass, and with a flick of a match from his boot-he lights it! He grabs Long and pulls him up onto the top rope for the Deus Ex Machina, trying to drive Long down through the glass with the deadly Air Raid Crash-but Long manages to counter! He drives boots into the side of Drago’s head, causing him to drop him-but Long’s able to use his athletics to power back into place! He hooks both of Drago’s arms in a double underhook-AND LEAPS FOR THE THRONEBREAKER THROUGH THE GLASS AND FLAMES! HE HITS IT! JESUS CHRIST! HE PINS DRAGO SANTIAGO!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
CLARA OLSON: Your winner...AND NEW FALLOUT PRIME CHAMPION...JASON….LOOOOOOONNNNGGG!!
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 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 MYOJIN running square into Lance Williams’ ‘The Raging Bull’.
And maybe we’ll come back
To earth, who can tell?
Switch to see Pixie Sloane dropping Kayla with a ‘Pixie Dust’.
I guess there is no one to blame.
We’re leaving ground. (Leaving ground)
Fade to a shot of James Raven reversing the Gold Coast Cutter into ‘The Flight of the Raven’ onto Aiden Reynolds.
Will things ever be the same again?
Switch to the film of Jason Long blasting Drago Santiago with the ‘Thronebreaker‘ through sheets of glass and the inferno.
Flash to see Ozymandias blasting Mark Hunter in the head with the Grand Championship Title.

It’s the final countdown!
The Final Countdown!
Our view centers on Shawn Warstein as he raises the Legacy Championship Title into the air. 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 lavender-colored dress, Clara flashes a smile as 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 for this week, while...
Clara stops talking and presses on the earpiece in her right ear.
CLARA OLSON: Hold on a moment folks…
The Edge logo on the monitor disappears and the monitor itself goes to a shot full of just television snow/static.
CLARA OLSON: Seems we are having issues in the production truck.
The camera’s cut to the vehicle itself, a large silver van, with antenna and dishes sticking out of it. The van is rocking back and forth, showing there is something going on in the fan. Unrecognizable yelling can be heard.
CLARA OLSON: I’m being told that someone got into the production van…
The cameraman goes to head towards the door but is bumped backwards by security who are trying to pull the perpetrator out. The cameraman gets himself together and backs away to see it is taking four security guards to pull...Legacy Champion and one-half of the Tag Team Champions, ‘Tyrant’ Shawn Warstein, out of the truck. His hands are gripping tightly to a bunch of wires and plugs that were ripped out of their electronic devices.
CLARA OLSON: What the hell?
SHAWN WARSTEIN: FUCK this stupid ass show. I should decree you son-of-a-bitches out of existence…
The guards continue to struggle to pull the Champ away.
SHAWN WARSTEIN: DON’T YOU FUCKING KNOW WHO I AM? I’LL SHOW YOU! I’LL SHOW ALL OF YOU!!!
The camera cuts back to inside the studio, where Clara Olson is standing...still a little bewildered.
CLARA OLSON: I’m still confused as hell, but let’s try to keep chugging along.
The words ‘New Talent’ appear on the now fixed screen behind her.
CLARA OLSON: Per usual, we want to start our show off with welcoming the new faces to our Project: Honor family. This week is extra special, because just a few days ago...Rock Johnson announced on Social Media that Project: Honor will be adding a THIRD BRAND to our growing business.

We pan out from the monitor showing off the newest faces to grace the roster.
CLARA OLSON: So much purple! Love to see it!
The pictures switch to the ‘The Edge’ logo as Clara lowers her head and smirks at the camera.
CLARA OLSON: And as normal, with the introduction of our newest Project: Honor brothers and sisters...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! Have you run out of matches, Pyro? Did Savannah Sunshine find her bag of jelly beans is now full of empty beans? Has Ozymandias finished praying to Cthulhu, our watery Lord and Savior, and now doesn’t know what to do with his time? FEAR NOT...for in our spare time, us Warriors have to find stuff to fill those hours of inactivity. We can’t all be trying to shine the light on us tortured souls like Lesley Adora or dropping those drippy beats like Lil’ Petey. Some of us have to find other forms of entertainment to waste our time upon, when our knee feels a little strained after running down our latest victim.
A movie poster appears on the monitor behind Rapture.
RAPTURE: Crimson Peak. A movie that came out in twenty-fifteen and banked on Tom Hiddleston’s star power and Guillermo Del Toro’s excellent directing skills. There was death, there was blood, there were ghosts...there was generally fuckery going on. It’s what someone like me loves to see. The only oddball thing is...it felt like I had seen a ghost myself.

After finishing it though, I would have to give it a 4 out of 5 ‘At least Jason doesn’t touch the LITTLE kids’ marks.
The Crimson Peak poster switches to a second poster.
RAPTURE: Another movie that I just had a hard time finding the right moment for when it came around...I finally got to sit down and watch it. How can you NOT like Julius...I mean Samuel L Jackson, Leonardo Dicapitate-O, Jamie Foxx, and that damn good actor in Christoph Waltz. From the start, I quite enjoyed it. It was nice to see the complete dickheads of this movie get blown away, time after time after time. And while I usually don’t like cheering for the good guy, Django brings that revenge factor that is just so scrumptious in a movie. You just can’t cheer AGAINST someone who is causing so much bloodshed in the name of revenge. I could have done without the love stuff, but it was revenge none-the-less.
Rapture smiles underneath his mask and lets out a pleasant sigh.
RAPTURE: I didn’t have to think too much during the movie, besides just kicking back and watching Django unleash his fury. I would have to give it a perfect five William James Ramear’s out of five...even if he only appeared in the movie as two characters. But when you get Lord Raiden, you book him as much as possible!
The monitor switches from the Django Unchained poster, back to the Edge logo.
RAPTURE: Thank you for visiting me on Rapture Reviews. Next time I will be reviewing Shutter Island and Time Trap. Let’s head back over to Clara!
The camera cuts back over to Clara.
CLARA OLSON: Thank you, Rapture. LET’S PAY THE MAN!!!

Tyler Wolfe vs Jason Long
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 some Honorable Mentions this week, because Project: Honor is full of people doing great things and not everyone can be in the Elite Seven. But some are sure close...
CLARA OLSON: Emmanuelle walked into Proving Ground with a decent record and barely a mark made on her fellow PG warriors. In one night...everything changed. Now Emmanuelle can walk with her head up and a Warrior Rising Championship around her waist!
The picture of Emmanuelle fades to another Honorable Mention.
CLARA OLSON: Yeah, I know he was ranked last show and he technically won. But for the brief moment, he almost let Lil Petey stand tall as the Grand Champion. Yeah, Ozymandias had a hand in it...but the Elite just can’t let that shit happen!
The image of Mark Hunter switches to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Seven’.
CLARA OLSON: Now onto our Elite Seven. The first person on the list...
Last Show: Lost to Lance Williams (Second Round: X-Factor Tournament, Record: 15-5, Movement: 2 Down
CLARA OLSON: In a RARE sighting, this past Proving Ground, we saw MYOJIN take an ‘L’. Yeah, he probably was distracted by his upcoming movie schedule. But a loss is a loss, especially when it is against suddenly hot-handed Lance Williams. That boy was oh-and-three and has rattled off three wins in a row, with poor MYO being the latest. I know MYOJIN will bounce back...but will he take another tumble on our list?
The photo of MYOJIN fades out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Six’.
CLARA OLSON: Also coming down...
Last Match: Lost to James Raven (Second Round: X-Factor Tournament), Record: 9-3, Movement: 2 Down
CLARA OLSON: Aiden is another highly talented individual who just had an off week. Although compared to MYOJIN’s match...I think Aiden definitely had the harder of the two. Especially those Raven abs. Anyway, I don’t think it will take long for Aiden to regain his footing on our Elite Seven...but only time will tell.
Aiden’s photo quickly transitions to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Five’.
CLARA OLSON: And our first newcomer of the list, in a bit.
Last Match: Defeated Kayla Richards (Noble Championship Match), Record: 4-1, Movement: Up
CLARA OLSON: Not too long ago, Pixie was just a new name for the Project: Honor faithful. She made a splash by defeating Kayla, calling out Kagome Akaibara, then beating Kagome for the Noble Championship number one contender spot. And unlike Jason Long did at Wired Consequences, Pixie took charge of that chance and took MAJOR advantage of it, walking out of Disputed Territory as the NEW NOBLE CHAMPION!!!
The words ‘Elite 7: Number Four’ replace the picture of Pixie.
CLARA OLSON: Another rising in the rankings...
Last Match: Defeated Aiden Reynolds (Second Round: X-Factor Tournament), Record 8-0, Movement: 2 Up
CLARA OLSON: James is creeping towards that ten-and-oh mark that Elena DeDraca set. And now that he is sporting a four-and-oh record in both tag AND singles action...James has become his own man. Can Mr Abs...I mean...Mr Raven continue moving on up with an X-Factor Championship win?
Fade out to the words ‘Elite 7: Number Three’.
CLARA OLSON: Speaking of power. One half of what the rumor mills are calling the newest power couple...
Last Match: Defeated Kagome Akaibara (Ascension Championship Backyard Brawl Match), Record 12-2, Movement 1 Up
CLARA OLSON: We watched as Kasey beat Kagome from swingset to monkey bars, at Disputed Territory. And after impaling Akaibara with not one...BUT TWO LAWN DARTS...we see the viciousness truly, in the Kween. But it seems she has also ruffled the feathers of her little love-sick bird in Redd. No telling what that little fucker has in mind next for Kasey.
The set light’s dim a little, turning red for a second, before going back to normal.
CLARA OLSON: STOP YOUR SHIT!!!
The picture of Kasey is quickly replaced by the words ‘Elite 7: Number Two’.
CLARA OLSON: Now to the top of our board...where these two have been battling for Project: Honor supremacy since Dickie was told to take his sabbatical.
Last Match: Lost to Shawn Warstein (Legacy Championship Match), Record 10-1, Movement: 1 Down
CLARA OLSON: Not only does it feel weird to have Elena at number two...but to have that one in her loss column. Many of us were curious to see not just when Elena would fall...but IF she would fall. And it took a hell of an effort to do it. Now she just has to dust herself off, fix that GORGEOUS makeup...and get back in that ring. Because we all know she isn’t going away any time soon.
Elena’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 of course with Elena at number two...
Last Match: Defeated Elena DeDraca (Legacy Championship Match), Record 11-2, Movement 1 Up
CLARA OLSON: I must give credit where credit is due. Shawn Warstein stepped up, took all the people who doubted him...and shut them the FUCK up. I must say, I was one of them. After I removed my foot from my mouth, I must say...the Tyrant stands above us all. Well...at least until Elena comes to get her title back.
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: Lots of surprises there! And next up will be predictions! But...let’s keep the lights on a little longer. Also, Mamma needs a new pair of shoes!!!
We come back from the commercials for the other Project: Honor exclusives 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. Look at you, Mr Wrestler.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: yeah, yeah, yeah. I lost against Joe Blow and I’m not sure how well I’m going to do against Wellington Dunne.
CLARA OLSON: I have faith in you.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Good thing someone does.
CLARA OLSON: So, last show I went eight-and-four, while James went five-and-seven.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: See, not very good at anything. Just sort of mediocre.
Pictures of everyone who has made predictions, appear on the monitor behind them.
An image of Clara Olson. Stats appear under his image: “Last Show: 8-4, Overall: 62-19”
An image of James Edgebrook appears, next to Clara’s. A few stats appear below his image: “Last Show: 5-7, Overall: 56-52”
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 ”Fallout VII: Undisputed”.
DARK MATCH: Terry Savage vs Kagome Akaibara
CLARA OLSON: Kagome is still probably healing from that Backyard Brawl Match...and it doesn’t seem like she has too much to worry about this week. This Terry guy is new and seems like he is a little too much of a lush to be considered any good. Seems like he is more of sparkle and pizazz, but little talent. Kagome picks up a win.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Kagome has been having a hard time since defeating Finale. I agree with you though. I haven’t seen anything from Terry to prove he can compete.
DARK MATCH: Alice Knight vs Kevin Hunter
CLARA OLSON: The return of FallHOOT has all us little owlettes cheering for Alice once again. Meanwhile, I’m still shocked they have Kevin Hunter on the payroll.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Rumor is they are only keeping him around to fulfill their Equal Opportunity Employer quota of ‘Douchey Guys Who Think They Are The Devil’. Alice with the big welcome back win.
CLARA OLSON: Feed the Havoc?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Feed the Havoc!
CLARA OLSON: In what is being referred to as a ‘Repeat Day’ Tag Match, in honor of National Repeat Day...we are seeing three Disputed Territory matches being pushed into one. But the INTERESTING part is...Pixie and Sunshine are slated to meet at Guts, Gold, and Glory in July...for that Noble Championship. With a brewing war between the two, I just have a feeling that the team of Pyro, Kayla, and Valkyrie is going to reign supreme.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I agree with the winner, merely because I want to see Julius Fairweather experience more pain.
CLARA OLSON: And our Main Event of this short Fallout, is an interesting one. Kasey Winterborn partakes in her first Tag Team match in her Project: Honor career...but her Ascension Championship is on the line. So if her partner pins the other team...she wins...but she loses her title. I just can’t vote against the Ascension Kween. I even think she keeps her Championship.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: While I do think Kasey has the ability to keep her title...I just feel something is going to go wrong with all the moving parts in this match. I think Mason Destruction walks out of this match as the NEW Ascension Champion.
The image switches over to ‘Proving Ground XVII: The Highway To Hell’.
CLARA OLSON: Fallout native Rapture, travels over to the blue brand to face newcomer Brandon Hendrix. Rapture, buddy...we love you on The Edge...but I can’t choose you over that beast of a man.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I have the balls to, though. It is going to be close, but I think Rapture breaks his losing streak...earning himself a one in the win column.
CLARA OLSON: Anatasia no-showed at the last Proving Ground and rumor has it, Trey is moving to Supernova. So this match...while entertaining...might have no real effect on Proving Ground. Either way, I think Trey gets the victory in walk off fashion.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Bouchet with the win, probably because Baros pulls another fast one and thinks her looks are just going to automatically get her places.
CLARA OLSON: Oh...this is going to burn. Aiden with the destruction of Serrano, in a match to cleanse Reynolds’ pallet of last shows loss.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: This is just cruel and unusual punishment. Aiden becomes the latest to enter the double-digit win club.
CLARA OLSON: Indy Darling is scheduling a bunch of squash matches this time around. The Dragonslayers couldn’t even beat Big Drip...what makes anyone think they can beat Legacy? Shawn and James continue forward.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Not even a question.
CLARA OLSON: Another trios match, this time with Proving Ground flare. I think the team of Emmanuelle, Pat, and Cadillac get it done in the end.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Don’t know why I am saying this...but I think Oasis, TJ, and Yung manage to find a way to do it. Hang it up for the win.
CLARA OLSON: Are you crazy?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: I just might be.
CLARA OLSON: And finally...no question about this Main Event. Ozy with the utter SQUASH!
James takes in a deep breath, then lets out a defeated sigh.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: ...lil petey…
CLARA OLSON: ...What?
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Lil’ Petey, okay? I just have this feeling that somehow Mark Hunter gets involved, fucks around, gets Lil’ Petey the win.
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: Woooooow. You have faith in Big Drip this week, James.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Not sure why, but yeah...I think I do.
CLARA OLSON: Well good luck in your match at Hostile Intent.
JAMES EDGEBROOK: Thank you.
CLARA OLSON: And with that, we head to one last commercial and come back for our Medals of Honor!!!
SUPERNOVA I
SUNDAY, JUNE 27th, 2021
HOUSE OF BLUES ORLANDO (DISNEY SPRINGS, LAKE BUENA VISTA, FL)
MATCHES TBA!!!
We return back from the Supernova commercial, to see Clara standing in front of a monitor with The Edge logo on it.
CLARA OLSON: Welcome 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 Shawn Warstein appears underneath the words ‘Best Promo’.
CLARA OLSON: In a beautiful bit of cinema that I could have kept watching for hours, we saw Shawn put his feelings out into the world. We saw highs, we saw lows, we saw what he was willing to give...to become the Legacy Champion. And he succeeded.
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 Indy Darling standing in front of a sign that read ‘Sensitivity Training’ appears under the words 'Segment Of The Night’
CLARA OLSON: Indy tried to get some of his troops in line. But even with Indy trying to make sure everything was perfect, the knuckleheads of Proving Ground still managed to fuck things up and mentally burned it to the ground.
The picture of Indy 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.
A picture of Drago Santiago and Jason Long standing across from each other in the ring, surrounded by fans, fades in underneath ‘Feud Of The Night’.
CLARA OLSON: In what has been brewing for a couple shows, these two finally got their hands on each other...as did the fans. And after much blood shed, broken glass, and many broken hearts...Jason Long came out as the Champion...and Drago was carried off into the ether.
‘Spot Of The Night’ replaces the picture of the Prime Championship Match.
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 Disputed Territory.
-AND NO ONE’S HOME! Santiago escapes one more time as Long crashes down hard into the light tube ladder! There’s glass and blood everywhere from both Drago and Long, as Drago falls onto Long and covers one more time!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
NO!!! UNBELIEVABLY, LONG MANAGED TO KICK OUT ONCE MORE! Drago grits his teeth, and slides out of the ring, collecting two more chairs and two thick sheets of glass. He also retrieves, from his boot, a bottle of lighter fluid! He dumps the fluid onto the glass, and with a flick of a match from his boot-he lights it! He grabs Long and pulls him up onto the top rope for the Deus Ex Machina, trying to drive Long down through the glass with the deadly Air Raid Crash-but Long manages to counter! He drives boots into the side of Drago’s head, causing him to drop him-but Long’s able to use his athletics to power back into place! He hooks both of Drago’s arms in a double underhook-AND LEAPS FOR THE THRONEBREAKER THROUGH THE GLASS AND FLAMES! HE HITS IT! JESUS CHRIST! HE PINS DRAGO SANTIAGO!
ONE!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
DING! DING! DING!
CLARA OLSON: Your winner...AND NEW FALLOUT PRIME CHAMPION...JASON….LOOOOOOONNNNGGG!!![/font
The monitor goes back to saying ‘Spot Of The Night’ and has a picture of Jason Long planting Drago Santiago with the Thronebreaker.
CLARA OLSON: It was the picture perfect type of finish, for Fallout’s main title. Glass, fire, and blood.
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 Elena DeDraca and Shawn Warstein standing in the ring together.
CLARA OLSON: DeDraca vs Warstein part two, did not disappoint. Some back and forth, close calls, and a questionable ending. Now...when do we get the rubber match?
‘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 Shawn Warstein appears on the screen.
CLARA OLSON: How could we choose anyone else? Shawn took down the undefeated Elena DeDraca AND added another title to his impressive resume, now standing atop Project: Honor as the newly crowned Legacy Champion.
The monitor cuts to ‘The Edge’ logo.
CLARA OLSON: That was one hell of a pay-per-view and Proving Ground’s isn’t too far away either. I’m excited as hell to see what may come on that show. But for now, we just need to get ready for next week’s offering from Darling and DeMarco.
‘The Final Countdown’ (Metal Cover) by Leo Moracchioli begins to play softly in the background.
CLARA OLSON: I will see you all next Thursday on Fallout, as usual. 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.
