Meg Fair is backstage with Commander Sterling’s group, Mr. Grim, David Lawless and The Runway. Sterling grabs the mic and insults Meg, forcing them to leave. David Lawless Esq takes the mic and says that Sterling has put together the greatest fivesome of all time and they all give an evil laugh, except Mr. Grim, as he is the hired hit man and will not laugh with them.
Our announcers for this episode are Effy and Rich Bocchini.
Meg Fair introduces Jerry Rigget to come to the ring and sing “Night Moves”, slightly off tune, until he gets interrupted by Commander Sterling and their team. Which leads us to our first match.
Mr. Grim, David Lawless & The Runway (Tyler Klein and Calvin Couture) vs Erica Leigh, Veda Scott, P.B. Smooth and Rob Killjoy
The official for this first match is the always entertaining Nick Shin. David Lawless starts the match and asks for the big man. PB Smooth starts to head into the ring, but Erica Leigh says that they are the big man. She steps over the top rope, after a couple attempts, and attacks Lawless with some power moves. Lawless hits Erica from behind and celebrates, but Erica makes the tag to PB behind his back and Lawless finally realizes it when he backs into PB. PB dominates Lawless and then tags in Veda who he slams onto Lawless. Lawless is able to break free from Veda and makes the tag to Calvin Couture. Veda hits a clothesline off the second rope and goes for the pin, but Tyler Klein makes the save.
Veda makes the tag to Rob Killjoy, who takes out both members of The Runway, but they are able to roll to their corner and make the tag to Mr. Grim. Grim and Killjoy have quite an exchange which ends with Killjoy trying a monkey flip, but Grim lands on his feet. He dominates Killjoy for the moment, but Killjoy is able to get all 4 of his opponents on the outside and hit a dive on them. Killjoy goes back in the ring and hits a dropkick on a downed Grim. He makes the tag to Veda and slams them onto Grim. As Grim kicks out of the pin attempt, he picks up Veda and carries them to his corner where The Runway use their team work to keep Veda down. They antagonize Veda’s team to distract the ref, while Tyler chokes Veda with his measuring tape.
Lawless brags that he is the greatest lawyer in the world and tries a leg drop, but Veda moves and makes the tag to PB Smooth. He takes out Lawless and then The Runway. PB stacks his opponents in the corners and splashes them before slamming Grim to the mat for a near fall. The Runway are able to dump PB over the top rope and Veda comes in and hits Calvin with a cutter. Tyler drops Veda, but he gets hit with a spear from Erica as soon as he turns around.
Lawless comes in the ring and drives Erica neck first onto his knee, but is met by Killjoy. Killjoy drops Lawless with a forearm, but then gets met with a huge spinning lariat from Mr. Grim. PB Smooth comes back in the ring, and we are back to our 2 legal competitors. Killjoy tags himself in and climbs on PB’s giant shoulders, dropping onto Grim, but Mr. Grim somehow kicks out at two. The Runway pull PB to the outside but Veda and Erica dive onto them. Commander Sterling gets on the apron and distracts the referee while Lawless hits a low blow on Killjoy. Grim picks Killjoy up and violently drops him to the mat, as Lawless hits PB with his gavel behind the referee’s back. These tactics and Grim’s power are enough to give him the 3 count and the victory.
After the match they pull the manager of Team Enjoy, Frank Deville, in the ring and beat him down. They then hand him over to Commander Sterling who gives him a chokeslam.
Meg Fair talks to Willow Nightingale backstage and she says that her opponent, Derek Dillinger may be stronger, but she is sticking up for her friend Edith.
Derek Dillinger vs Willow Nightingale
Willow comes to the ring all smiles and has the crowd clearly behind her. Derek tries to hit Willow with his clapboard, but Willow ducks it and lays some chops into Derek. He answers with 2 shoulder blocks, but Willow takes his legs out from behind and hits a senton on him. Willow tries to pick Derek up, but he slips away and drops Willow with a boot to the face. He stomps on Willow and splashes her in the corner. Willow will not stay down, so Derek tries to make her tap out with a cloverleaf, but Willow gets out and hits him with a cutter.
Both competitors exchange strikes in the middle of the ring. Willow gets the advantage and hits a dropkick off the ropes. Derek is able to recover and hit Willow with a chokeslam, then a rolling senton. He tries a moonsault off the top, but Willow moves and gives Derek a huge spinebuster. Derek kicks out of the pin attempt and knees Willow in the head. He tries to flip Willow over, but she stomps on him. She then picks him up for a DVD for the win.
Willow gets her hand raised but is met by Ziggy Haim. Derek throws the clapboard at Willow, which provides enough of a distraction for him to be able to knock Willow out with a punch. Edith Surreal runs to the ring to help her friend, and Ziggy and Derek scatter to the outside. This sets up a very personal battle between Ziggy and Edith later in the season where either Edith will lose her mask or Ziggy will lose her hair.
On next weeks episode we will have Effy defending the Fest Championship against Billy Dixon.
