6CWF Presents Proving Grounds Results - Episode 20

*We are set for war as we head out to ringside and Tyler Roth is making his entrance, met by a crescendo of boos from the sell-out crowd. We get a recap on what Genesis did to Dicey last week as the commentators debate on how the Irishman may respond ahead of his Born in Fire title shot against Eddy Kent.

*Scott Harris’ music hits now as the crowd go wild and Tyler Roth prepares to battle his former friend. He continues to wait but it is all a rouse as Dicey comes through the crowd and smashes a chair across the back of Roth. Roth tries to get up as Dicey turns the chair on its edge now and drives it into his gut, dropping him on all fours. Dicey grabs Roth’s head and prepares for the “Craicdown” but it is countered by a huge backdrop.

*Roth is angry now and he grabs the steel chair and is ready to splatter Dicey’s brains with it but here is Scott Harris and he tackles Roth and takes him down. They brawl on the floor until Roth kicks Harris away. They scramble back up and Roth drives a deadly knee into Harris’ gut and prepares for “The Reaping” but Harris flips over the back and he waits for Roth to turn before he kicks him right between the legs.

*The audience go wild now as Dicey is up and he drills Roth with the “Craicdown” before Scott Harris heads up top and flies off with a frogsplash. Michael Sweetwater storms the ring but Dicey senses him and whirls around, slinging the steel chair (ECW style) at the head of the oncoming Genesis member….we get a shot of an angry Eddy Kent watching on the monitors backstage as Dicey now delivers the “Craicdown” on Sweetwater in the centre of the ring.

*Dicey calls for a mic now. First he hands it to Scott Harris and he lets Tyler Roth know that he gladly accepts his challenge for a showdown at Born in Fire and not only will he beat his former friend but he vows to be the first ever man to submit him in his professional wrestling career. Harris leaves to a big ovation as Dicey takes over. Dicey is calling out Eddy Kent. It takes awhile but the 6WF Champion appears on the stage. He acts as though he is going to accept Dicey’s challenge to meet him in the ring, going through the motions of removing his suit jacket and rolling up his sleeves, but then reneges on that decision.

*Dicey lets Kent know he knows all Genesis’ plays, all the games, all the tricks and he isn’t the slightest bit intimidated….they can brand him, beat him down, humiliate him but it’ll change nothing at Born in Fire XI when it is just the two of them and Kent finds out first-hand why Dicey is a 6CW Hall of Famer and a future four time world champion……Dicey says Kent is a “poor man’s Lex Hart” and he is going to take great pleasure in killing Genesis for a second time…..Dicey grabs the steel chair now and he wraps it around Sweetwater’s head and drags him into another “Craicdown” as the audience go wild. Kent looks outraged and concerned from the outside as Dicey glares at him to bring an end to the segment.

*We start with a recap on the issues that arose out of nowhere last week between Rex Adamson the reformed Parasite Killers. The subsequent attack by PK and the challenge made by James McManus for tonight. The commentators believe PK see this as a great chance to put themselves over in 6CWF by beating the fastest rising star in the company. RJ believes that with Rex’s issues surrounding his mystery attacker, his Uncle and Genesis that this might be a perfect time to face him. JT fires back that it might be the worse possible time.

*It comes as no surprise that James McManus is accompanied to the ring by his wife, Jenny, and The Fanatic. They seem ultra confident as McManus climbs up in the ring and uses the ropes to stretch. Rex then arrives to a big ovation from the audience and he sprints down to the ring. McManus storms forward for a huge lariat but Rex ducks under and hits the opposite side before returning with a huge front dropkick to the chest that blasts McManus back into the ropes in a heap.

*Rex is all kinds of fired up as he bench presses McManus over his head now and walks to the ropes before launching him down on The Fanatic. Jenny McManus shrieks in anger as PK struggle back up. Adamson runs the ropes now and returns with a flying baseball slide to McManus’ back and sends him to the ground. The Fanatic takes a step toward Rex but the youngster shows no fear and stands his ground. They glare at each other before McManus is able to land a vicious lariat to the back of Rex’s neck. Jenny is all smiles now as her husband stomps on Rex and then smashes his head off the top of the ringsteps before throwing him back in the ring. McManus rolls in and scores with a sickening half nelson suplex for a two.

*McManus beckons Rex up and chops at his chest before following up with hard European uppercuts and headbutts. He looks for an Irish whip but Rex reverses. Adamson drops his head for a backdrop and McManus lashes a kick into his face. He staggers back into the ropes but is preparing to burst back out with a huge clothesline (ala Jon Moxley) when Jenny McManus grabs his boot. Rex whirls around and eyeballs her. McManus looks to take advantage and sprints in but Rex scouts him and sidesteps before throwing him over the ropes onto the apron. He lands a flush forearm to the jaw and then shows his impressive strength to deadlift suplex McManus over the ropes into a falcon arrow for a two.

*Rex heads to the corner now and he has “Gore” on his mind. Jenny begins climbing on the apron to distract the referee. The Fanatic starts climbing in the ring on the blindside as Rex rushes over and meets him head on with huge right hands. He looks for an Irish whip but Fanatic turns inside and uncorks a huge uppercut. He looks to pick Rex up on his shoulders but Adamson kicks his legs and falls off back. He lands a huge clothesline as Fanatic turns and sends him over the ropes to the outside. McManus is back up now and land a kick to the gut and a powerbomb (GUNTHER style) which Rex just manages to kick out from.

*The commentators talk about the numbers advantage and how it is playing a pivotal role thus far. McManus heads for the corner and lifts on the second rope before jumping off with an axe handle to Rex’s back, dropping him to one knee. McManus runs the ropes and looks for the “knee trembler” but Rex pulls his head out of the firing line at the last minute. He scoops McManus up for a “Cyclone” but McManus jams a thumb in the eye on the referee’s blindside. He gets Rex up and nails a Death Valley Driver but Adamson shows great resilience to kick out.

*Jenny shrieks instructions at her husband now. McManus beckons Rex up and looks for the “River Wensum Plunge” but Rex shows incredible strength to counter and lift McManus over his head into a modified pin for a two. They scramble up and McManus stomps on the knee of Rex, dropping him down, and this time he nails the running “knee trembler” but again Rex is able to kick out. The commentators pay props to James McManus’ performance thus far.

*McManus goes after the right leg now and is chopping Rex down to size. He runs in and lands a chopblock before attempting to get him locked for a figure four. Rex plants his foot in the small of the back and shoves McManus away to the corner. He hobbles up and runs in for a splash but McManus moves. McManus stumbles away and grabs the ref, distracting him, as Fanatic climbs on the apron and chokeslams Rex to the canvass. McManus makes the cover now but Adamson finds the bottom rope with his foot.

*McManus is arguing with the referee about his count but gets nowhere. He ushers Rex up now and looks to scoop him for a “Tombstone” but Rex drops behind and shoves McManus off the ropes before launching him with a huge overhead suplex as he returns. Rex follows up with another two overhead throws as he finds his groove and the crowd respond. Rex climbs up the ropes now and walks along them before leaping off with a huge front dropkick to the chest that sends McManus bouncing across the ring. McManus is all at sea as he stumbles up and Rex lifts him into an electric chair position and drops him down into a sickening German suplex (Croyt’s Wrath). A three count looks on the cards but Jenny McManus tries to climb in the ring and forces the referee to apprehend her.

*Rex is angered now and The Fanatic tries to get back in but Rex runs the ropes and returns with a leaping forearm smash (Enforcer like) that sends him tumbling from the apron. He ushers McManus up and scoops him for the “Fire/Thunder” driver but McManus drops off and pushes Rex toward the ref. Rex stops short but then turns and eats the “River Wensum Plunge” for a two count. McManus bemoans his luck and then heads up top. He leaps off for a crossbody but Rex catches him. He nails a rib-breaker and then shows incredible power to swing McManus up on his shoulders and into a powerbomb (Keith Lee style). Rex pounds his chest as he heads up top. He looks ready to launch into a ”Lo’ Down” frogsplash but then changes tact and throws himself to the outside into a senton takedown on The Fanatic as the audience goes wild.

*Rex rolls back in the ring now and he lines up for the “Gore” but McManus moves and the referee eats the impact. McManus quickly tries to take advantage with the “MK Ultra” but Rex battles off and nails a huge release German suplex. Jenny McManus is in the ring now and she slaps Rex. He seems to be weighing up his options as he holds his cheek but then The Fanatic attacks him from behind. PK are on the assault now as the crowd voice their disapproval.

*Fanatic gets Rex up on his shoulders and they prepare for the “Boot of Doom” as Max Adamson storms the ring and nails a huge “Gore” on The Fanatic. McManus looks to attack Max but he is shoved away and Rex nails the “Fire/Thunder Driver”. The referee recovers and counts the three. Jenny McManus is shrieking in anger at what has happened. Rex gets up and Max stands there, ready to accept thanks, but Rex is glaring at him. Max seems confused but Rex is indicating at the unmarked black hoody that Max is wearing (the same one worn by Rex’s attacker). Max is almost laughing off the accusations now but Rex slaps his hand away and they go nose to nose. Max is trying to calm his nephew down but is shoved away. Rex looks irate as he leaps from the ring. Max tries to laugh it off again but then decides to go after his nephew. The commentators hype a fantastic contest but wonder what the future holds for Rex and Max. Did Max really attack his nephew?

*Major hype in the building as we return to ringside to see stacks of tables all over. The competitors begin to make their way to ringside as the commentators run us through the current issues between the warring superstars.

*Cody Walker mesmerises the audience with a shooting star press from the top rope to the outside which knocks down all four of the opposition team. He stumbles up, holding his ribs, and Dubois tries to spear him through a table which is horizontal against the barrier but Walker leapfrogs him and sends Dubois crashing through it (although no elimination is given).

*Daniel Reilly looks to plant Steel with an RKO but Steel shows immense strength to catch him and flips him over in position for an AA. Oliver Keane climbs onto the apron and drags Reilly down so that he can escape. Steel then lifts Keane on his shoulders and delivers a huge AA from the apron through a table on the floor.

*Cody Walker has a table set up in the aisle and he drags Dubois on top of it. He climbs up the ropes and prepares to leap but Blue Dragon is up and detonates a punch under the jaw with the “Gauntlet” glove. Mike Hill drags Dragon off the apron and blasts him with a kendo stick, staggering him away. Dubois climbs up on the apron now and lifts Cody into a “Go Flasher” to the outside which obliterates him through the table and gives us the first elimination.

*Mike Hill runs the ropes and delivers a huge suicide dive which splatters Blue Dragon back into the announce desk. He beats BD’s head repeatedly off the table and then looks to use the ring apron for an assist on the “Over the Hill” but BD flips him over onto his shoulders. He runs forward for a powerslam but Hill drops off back and shoves him against the ringpost. Hill uses the steel steps to run up and leaps into a solo “poetry in motion” which slams himself and Dragon through the ringside barrier and leaves them in a heap in the front row.

*Liam Wood and Engel Harlequin are fighting in the crowd and up on the balcony. Wood grabs a steel chair and drives it into Engel’s gut and then slams it across his spine. Engel’s head droops onto the concrete balcony and Wood looks ready to cave his skull in but then the clown spits a green liquid into Wood’s eyes. Wood is dazed and disorientated from whatever has blinded him. Engel then stuns the crowd as he pulls Wood over the balcony with a backdrop driver which smashes both of them through a stack of tables and leaves them in a wreck amongst the fans. Both men are hurt badly as the referees signal for some help and it seems both competitors are being ruled out of the remainder of the bout.

*Back at ringside and Daniel Reilly is preparing to superplex Steel off the top rope but Steel fights back and lands several headbutts until Reilly staggers down and across a table. Steel then stuns the audience as he launches himself off the ropes and he lands a flying headbutt that crushes the European Champion through a table for another elimination. The commentators are talking about Steel nailing his chances of getting a title shot at Born in Fire with that elimination.

*Steel is clearly hurt from the landing and Blue Dragon attacks from behind and takes full advantage by swinging him into a “Deathnote” through a table that is set up longways in the corner. Dragon stands tall, drawing the ire of the audience as it becomes clear that Mike Hill is the only remaining participant of his team.

*Dubois motions for he and Dragon to work together. Hill tries to ward them off and throws a chair at Dubois before launching into an attack on Dragon. He is shoved away to the corner and BD rushes in but Hill spins around the ropes and nails a kick over the top. Hill leaps off the top rope but Dragon ducks and Dubois eats the flying hurricanrana takedown. Dubois runs back out for a spear but Hill sidesteps and Dragon takes the brunt. Hill takes advantage now and uses the turnbuckle for the “Over the Hill” assist which drives Dubois through another table, leaving us down to 1 on 1.

*Hill tries to drag BD over to suplex him through a table but Dragon is too strong. He shoves Hill away and pops him up on the comeback but Hill counters in midair with a dropkick to the chest. Hill looks for another rope-assisted “Over the Hill” but Dragon holds firm and launches Hill out of the ring through two tables to end the contest and leave him victorious.

*Here comes JJ Johnson and there is a long staredown between he and Blue Dragon. JJ is out here because his General Manager “got got” so he has to make the announcement. And the announcement is that at Born in Fire XI the “Key to the Kingdom” Championship will be back up for grabs. Blue Dragon, Cody Walker, Engel Harlequin, Jerome Dubois, Mike Hill, Liam Wood, Anthony Grace and Robin Reborn will enter “Hardcore Hell” for the opportunity. The commentators hype the huge announcement as BD signals a belt around his waist whilst continuing to stare at Johnson.

*The stage is set for the monumental main event as the risks involved are laid bare by the commentary team. We get a recap on some of the past “Inferno” matches to have taken place and the injuries that have been sustained in that time. Uryu then enters the dray to a huge ovation from the crowd in attendance. Ishida paces back and forth as he eyes the grates around the ring where the flames are set to burst from.

*Edward Plague enters now and is surrounded by masked members of his “family”. They are carrying flaming torches and when they extinguish them the lights come back on and Plague is standing in the ring whilst everyone else has disappeared. Plague smiles at Ishida as the flames begin to rise around the ring.

*In the early going Ishida tries to use his speed to get the advantage but struggles in close against Plague’s strength and craftiness. Uryu springs off the ropes for a cutter but is caught and nailed by a release uranage slam. Plague drops upside down (ala Bray Wyatt) and his features are illuminated by the flames.

*Plague looks for the “Purifier” but Uryu flips out the back and superkicks his opponent in the back of the head, sending him toward the fire. Uryu rushes in but Plague nails a huge backdrop which sends Ishida over the top of the flames and crashing to the floor below. Plague merely laughs and drops to his knees in the centre of the ring. Uryu climbs back up onto the steel steps and up the turnbuckle before launching himself in with a meteora takedown. He springs off the ropes and returns with a huge tornado DDT.

*Uryu tries to roll Plague toward the ropes but he quickly swings out and grabs Ishida by the throat before slamming him to the deck. He continues to choke Uryu until he falls into a state of semi-consciousness. Plague prophesises and talks to the fire as it burns higher. He ushers Uryu up and lifts him onto his shoulders before walking toward the fire. Uryu kicks his legs and falls off the back. Plague turns and rushes forward but is felled by a drop toe hold which drops his head dangerously close to the fire.

*Uryu tries to grab Plague’s arm and pull him into the “Sunset” armbar but Plague pulls him in close and claws at his face. He then nails a release powerbomb into the corner and follows up with a running cannonball splash against the world champion. Plague grabs Uryu by the arm and drags him close to the fire. He is whispering to Uryu but Uryu spins his body and repeatedly kicks out at Plague’s head and face until he releases him. Ishida stumbles up and he then forward rolls out of the corner as Plague crashes against it. Uryu nails an x-factor facebuster and follows up with the “Split Second” from on high as the crowd go wild. Uryu prepares to drag Plague toward the fire now but we see the shadow of GazzyD appear in the entranceway.

*Uryu is in survival mode now and it is clear that he is preparing himself for an attack by his upcoming challenger. Gazzy walks down to the ring, glaring at the fire around the canvass, but he doesn’t engage Uryu but instead he grabs a steel chair and launches it over the top of the fire and into the ring. Uryu looks bewildered but goes for the weapon. Plague then responds with a huge low blow as the audience boo. Plague drills Ishida with the “Purifier” (Omega Driver) on the chair now. He remains kneeling over the 6CW Champion as he points to Gazzy and talks about “Hellfire raining down”. He is promising to strip the flesh from Uryu now and reveal his true self.

*Plague wants Gazzy to climb up in the ring and take his shot at the man “Who tried to take everything from you”. Plague points to the fire again and it goes down as the crowd watch on in astonishment. Gazzy climbs up in the ring now and together they begin to drag the deadweight of Ishida toward the re-emerging fire. Many of the fans cannot watch but suddenly a jet of water sprays through the flames and disorientates both Gazzy and Plague. Uryu is able to scramble free of them and he superkicks Gazzy over the ropes to the outside. Gazzy is on his knees and cannot believe as he looks up and sees his wife, Christy, holding a hose.

*Plague rolls to his feet now and looks to attack from behind but Uryu leaps over him and lands another superkick, followed by two more which sends Plague toppling through the middle ropes and through the fire. Plague’s screams fill the air as his head and face seem to catch fire. EMT’s and emergency fire marshalls are on hand immediately to douse the flames. Gazzy and Christy both look horrified as the lights suddenly go down and when they come back on Plague has disappeared.

*Uryu is left in the ring, beaten down from the war he has just been through. Gazzy is looking from his wife to Uryu and back again as the commentators talk about what we have just witnessed here at Proving Grounds and whether Edward Plague will ever be the same again. JT wonders how Gazzy will react to Christy’s return and subsequently helping Uryu to survive. The show ends with the continued staredown between all three parties.
