WWA Presents: Scars and Stripes
Date: 7-6-17
Venue: Scottrade Center (St. Louis, Missouri)
Commentators: Mindy Watson and Eric Jameson
We open up backstage to where they are having the whole determination details for The Lethal Cup where it looks like a Lottery/Wheel of Fortune type of setup. Against the wall, there is a spin of wheel option as well as a bucket of white balls with numbers on them. Danielle Lopez stands there by the bucket in a Black Rose Mafia t-shirt and jeans. In the area are Whiskey Emmanuelle, Riley James (with Talia Skye), Angelina Williams, Serena Mariella and Miss Data (with Alexis Landry), Desiree Miles, Jen Henderson and Sgt. Clemets. Danielle walks back and forth for a moment before noticing the next four women who need to draw their numbers/find out what match they will compete in. She looks at all standing around and begins to speak.Danielle Lopez: Ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to Scars and Stripes, but more important than that, THIS here is the beginning of The Lethal Cup!
Danielle says with a smile on her face.Danielle Lopez: For those of you who have been here before, you all know how the format works. Sixteen competitors, all matches are of the brutal type and everything is randomized down to a tee, and the winner gets a WWA World Championship match. Right here, we have the first four women who are in need of their numbers being drawn. So lets get this shit on the road, shall we? Miss Whiskey, you go first.
Whiskey places her hand in the bucket and picks up a ball.Danielle Lopez: Your number?
Whiskey Emmanuelle: Five!
Danielle Lopez: Very good. Angelina Williams. You are next.
Angelina walks up, places her hand in the bucket and picks up a ball. She opens it up, looks at her number and is satisfied.Danielle Lopez: What is yours?
Angelina Williams: Seven!
Danielle Lopez: Alright. Sgt. Clemets... you're next.
Clemets places her hand in the bucket and grabs a ball. She looks at it for a moment before opening it.Danielle Lopez: What is your number Sarge?
Sgt. Clemets: Thirteen!
Danielle Lopez: Okay then! Talia, let's see what number your client has chosen.
Talia places her hand in the bucket and chooses a number. Her and Riley look at each other, satisfied.Danielle Lopez: Oooh bestie. What number did Riley get?
Talia Skye: The number two!
Danielle Lopez: Splendid! Jen Henderson. You're up next.
Jen places her hand in the bucket and picks out a ball.Danielle Lopez: Your number.
Jen Henderson: Eight!
Danielle Lopez: Good. Desiree, my fellow Black Rose Mafia sister. You're next.
Desiree walks up to the bucket and picks out a ball.Danielle Lopez: What number did you pick?
Desiree Miles: I picked the number three!
Danielle Lopez: Nice one! Last but definitely least. Alexis, you whore. Pick the balls for your girls... although you should be used to touching a pair of balls as it is.
Alexis glares at Danielle, while also shooting a dirty look at both Talia and Desiree before picking up two balls for her clients.Danielle Lopez: What fucking numbers did you pick?
Alexis Landry: Six and ten, cunt!
Danielle then shoots a look at Alexis. The manager for the tag team champions then shoves the boss into the wheel. This prompted Talia and Desiree to attack her, which then Serena and Data got involved. The Mafia up against Alexis's clients. Security immediately came in to break up the brawl as Riley James also attacked Alexis.MW: Things are getting heated and we haven't even had our opening contest yet!
EJ: Nor did we get to find out who's facing who and what kind of matches they'll be competing in! This is intense!
MW: And Talia and Alexis are managing the contestants for our opening contest! This is going to be one hell of a night!
EJ: No kidding! We can't wait any longer for this!
Match 1: Reyna Carter (w/Talia Skye) © vs. Mandy "The Monster" (w/Alexis Landry) [WWA Queen Bitch Championship]
Mandy "The Monster" defeated Reyna Carter by pinfall to become the new WWA Queen Bitch Champion. With the situation that just escalated between Talia and Alexis, this title match became that much more heated. Reyna had a challenge on her hands, but she's been there before with big challenges when she was the World Champion, but none as big and imposing as Mandy "The Monster". The #GlamBoss had to approach this one a little differently than she has, just by flying all over the place, and it initially worked... but Mandy's power was not to be denied. Mandy dominated the champ for a good portion of the match, until Reyna was able to mount a comeback. Reyna was in good position to go for Mean Girl Problems that eventually sets up the Inferiority Complex... but Alexis Landry was in good position to trip Reyna up, causing her to fall to the mat. This caused Talia to sprint towards the "Reformed Beauty", and the two of them engaged in a brawl. It also allowed Mandy to recover, and hit Reyna with the F5. Mandy hooked the leg and the referee counted to three, giving Mandy her first title in the WWA.MW: Mandy "The Monster" is FINALLY a champion in the Women's Wrestling Alliance... but Reyna Carter was robbed by Alexis Landry!
EJ: The referee didn't see a thing! I know its not right, but again, he didn't see shit!
MW: Let's hope we don't see this kind of shit in the tag team title match later on tonight!
We see Whiskey Emmanuelle in the locker room, dressed for a fight and sitting on a bench while a female trainer is kneeling in front of her, checking her knee and wrapping it tightly. Whiskey looks up to see the camera and scoffs a little.Whiskey: Scars And Stripes. WWA's tribute to America's day of celebration. When every American drinks beer, gets together with family and eats as much American-made produce as possible. Literally gorging themselves on the Land Of The Free. How free is it, though, really?
You have people being intimidated and beaten for looking different, for thinking differently. For being different. Straight people hating on gay people. Both looking down on those who are bisexual, as if they can help who they're attracted to as much as the rest of us. Just as much racial tension as ever. The wage gap widening, with the richest in America turning their backs on the poorest. Elitist attitudes everywhere you look, with people thinking they're better than somebody else, even when the truth is that they're not.
She puts on a false smile.Whiskey: Happy Bigotry Day, America. Don't choke on those hot dogs and chips. See, as much as we like to talk about, hear and annoy people with how great we think our country is, the sad fact is that it really isn't. We just don't like to look beyond the veneer to see the ugly reality staring up from the gutter. Gang violence. Poverty. Homophobia. The scars that blight America are as obvious as ever, yet people still turn a blind eye to it all. "Don't worry, it'll all go away if we choose not to look". It just doesn't work like that.
I carry around mental scars from rough experiences in my life and it's tough as hell trying to survive with the intrusive thoughts that follow me, but I'm more than willing to add some more physical scars. Just to show people that I'm not going anywhere, no matter what they do. Can you hear me, Abeela? You and your little mouthpiece can say whatever the fuck you want about me. You can target my knee, I still have another that I'm more than willing to damage when I use it to bash your skull in.
The trainer finishes her work and pats Whiskey's knee a few times, before getting to her feet and walking out of shot. Whiskey leans over to her side and grabs a knee pad, leaning forward and stepping into it, tugging the pad up over the taped knee. Whiskey: Do the two of you not think I belong or something? Listen, bitches....I belong. Just as much as the two of you do, as much as everyone who busts their ass in WWA belongs. James Baker wants to believe that he was a big star in his own little world, once upon a time? That's cool. I wasn't a star but people on the streets of LA knew who the fuck I was. They knew my name and what I would do if anyone tried to take advantage of me. I didn't need to wave some magic wand or call myself a princess and expect to be treated like royalty. I fought and I survived. Just like I will tonight.
You want to try to keep yourself relevant by attacking from behind and talking big? Fine. Keep doing that, Abeela. The difference between you and I is that I don't need to talk myself into a big game or have someone else do it for me. I just do it. My theme song is "Leave A Scar", and that's exactly what I'll do tonight. Then I'll paint stripes on my face in your blood. After tonight? You'll think twice about treating others like they're somehow beneath you. Call me gutter trash all you want, Abeela, I don't mind, because when I drag you down into the gutter and beat some respect into you? You'll be in my world, bitch. Home of the brave? Not with the likes of you in it. I won't be hard to find, Abeela. I'll be the pissed off chick with the sore knee waiting for you in the ring.
She burns a hole through the camera with her gaze then rises to her feet, exiting from the shot.Match 2: Princess Abeela (w/James Baker) vs. Whiskey Emmanuelle
Princess Abeela defeated Whiskey Emmanuelle by pinfall. The rivalry between these two wrestlers had started weeks ago and it only intensified from there. The two of them weren't going to lock up, they wanted to brawl, Whiskey moreso Abeela as she badly wanted revenge for Abeela and company injuring her knee. This was Whiskey's in the first part, until Abeela kicked her in the injured knee to take control for herself. Abeela wore down Whiskey with a series of takedowns and attacks, directly to that knee, and it was working quite well. Whiskey had her comeback though and was taking it to the Malibu Princess, giving it everything she had. She had things in control and was attempting the Whiskey Galore... but Abeela blocked it and kicked the injured knee, before rollng her up... but not without grabbing a handful of tights that the referee didn't see as she counted to three.MW: Dammit! Whiskey just got screwed! Abeela cheated!
EJ: She had to do what she had to do, and she got that victory!
Abeela and James Baker embrace before they focus their attention towards the injured Whiskey. Abeela attempts to attack her, but Whiskey manages to fight her off. Whiskey and Abeela continue to go at it before she sends her out of the ring. Whiskey then focuses her attention towards Baker, and the self-proclaimed "Beautiful One" tries to back away from the fearless one. She has backed him into a corner... but Baker smiles as Whiskey gets attacked from behind by Shelly The Bod. MW: WHAT THE HELL?! SHELLY THE BOD JUST ATTACKED WHISKEY!
EJ: We haven't seen her in god knows how long! I'm wondering too what the hell is going on?!
As Shelly does her attack on Whiskey, Abeela recovers and joins in on the fray, making it two on one while Baker smiles heavily. He's directing traffic and instructs the two of them to get her up. Shelly picks her up on her shoulders while Abeela is in prime position. Shelly throws Whiskey, and Abeela then hits a Double Knee Facebreaker to lay out Whiskey. The three of them stand tall together, celebrating and acting as the best of friends while the crowd boos very loudly.MW: I don't believe it! Shelly has joined up with the likes of Abeela and James Baker!
EJ: Look at what he has done for Abeela! Abeela is his best friend, and I think Shelly will definitely benefit from being under his tutilege!
MW: Knowing what we have seen of Whiskey since she got her career jumpstarted, she will not stay down and she will not let this slide! I guarantee that!
EJ: Time will tell, but these three are going to be a deadly trio, no question about it!
MW: The issues Whiskey has with the likes of Abeela, Baker and now Shelly, are far from over! I can guarantee that!
We go to the back where the wrestlers who are in the area are Mai Edwards, Amy York, Calista (with Riley Vega), Kijo, Elektra, Shelly The Bod, Sophia Young and Mariah Lopez. The eight of them are awaiting for their seeding's/matches. Danielle Lopez stands in front of them, awaiting to conduct the festivities for a second time tonight.Danielle Lopez: This is the last drawing of numbers for the night. The rest of you represents the remaining of The Lethal Cup. Its time to pick the numbers.
Riley (on behalf of Calista), Mai, Kijo and Sophia are the first to pick theirs. They open them up and Danielle begins to ask what their numbers are.Danielle Lopez: Its time to reveal your numbers ladies.
Mai Edwards: Nine!
Riley Vega: Calista drew fifteen!
Sophia Young: Sixteen!
Kijo, just as she always does, elects not to speak, instead holding up her right index finger to signal that she drew the coveted number one seed in the tournament.Danielle Lopez: Fantastic! Now for the rest of you, you girls do the same.
Mariah, Elektra, Shelly and Amy all begin to draw theirs. As they have their numbers, Danielle proceeds to speak again.Danielle Lopez: Numbers!
Amy York: Fourteen!
Elektra: Eleven!
Shelly The Bod: Twelve!
Mariah Lopez: Four!
Danielle Lopez: There we go! And that ladies and gentlemen, is the contestants of The Lethal Cup. You eight, as well as those who drew their numbers earlier, will be back here later tonight to determine who will face who, as well as what matches you guys will be competing in.
Match 3: The Killswitch Knockouts (Mya Lopez, Lilith Evans and Yasmeen Dumont) © vs. GLITTER (Mercedes Mendoza, Tamara Jones and Angela Lopez w/Melanie Ramirez) vs. The Goddesses of Metal (Melissa Evans, Bailey Punk and Lauren Matthews) (WWA Trios Championship)
The Killswitch Knockouts defeated GLITTER and The Goddesses of Metal to retain the WWA Trios Championship. This is a three way match that the Killswitch Knockouts laid out so they can have some competition. It was chaotic to say the least as all three teams brawled, just so they can call themselves the Trio s Champions. The Knockouts gained control early, then it was the Goddesses, and then GLITTER! All three teams had their moments in this one. It got crazy in the very end where GLITTER took out the Goddesses... but all three of the Knockouts threw GLITTER out of the way. Lilith and Yasmeen hit Lauren with a Double DDT, and Mya followed up by hitting Fly Mya Fly to ensure the Knockouts retains the Trios Titles.We go to the back where Courtney Erickson is standing by with a microphone.Courtney Erickson: In just a few short moments, Terra will defend the Estrogen Championship against Taryn Willow. I am here with Terra's advocate, Talia Skye.
The camera focuses on Terra and Talia.Courtney Erickson: Talia. How is your client feeling going into this?
Talia Skye: Taryn wants to let out the so-called "evil side" against my client. Like its going to make a difference. Much like Boom or Bust, Taryn will not make it out with the gold. She's stupid as shit for even attempting to pull this crap. Talk about evil? Terra will squash that bullshit down with EASE!
Courtney Erickson: Taryn did say she was planning on breaking Terra's neck...
Talia Skye: Is that so? She better pray to whatever being she believes in that Terra doesn't get to her ass first...
Before Talia could finish, she was interrupted by the World Champion, Crystal Alvarez. The two friends shake hands before Crystal speaks.Crystal Alvarez: I respect you greatly. You know that Talia, and I consider you a close friend... BUT, Terra has pushed my wife far beyond what you and I can comprehend. I wish I could get Taryn back to where she was... but Terra is fully responsible for what happens, and I have to deal with this. ME!
Talia Skye: You know as well as I do, that Terra does what she wants, when she wants. I don't want you to make yourself a target here. Be safe, be wise, and good luck tonight against Joanna.
The two friends pound fists, before Crystal and Terra have a stareoff. Talia gets Terra to walk away, leaving Crystal standing there.Match 4: Terra (w/Talia Skye) © vs. Taryn Willow [WWA Estrogen Championship]
This contest went to a no contest after neither competitor answered the ten count. Taryn was damn determined to win back the Estrogen Title, capping off a week where she married her fiance, the World Champion herself. Taryn did everything she could to damage Terra, and much to the surprise of everyone, she damaged the beast with a lot of strikes while utilizing her speed. Terra definitely used her power and it worked quite well, hurting Taryn in the process. Terra controlled the contest for quite sometime, and even brought it outside of the ring where she continued to dish out punishment. The two of them fought on the stage, with Taryn doing anything she could to pick her spots. Towards the very end, Terra had Taryn at a disadvantage and looked like she wanted to throw Taryn right off the stage, but the former champion had different ideas and got out of it. She dazed Terra long enough... but not before leaping up and hitting a different version of the Pride of Brooklyn, sending both women off the stage, about ten feet below, knocking both women out. Neither Terra or Taryn were moving and couldn't get up as the referee counted to ten.MW: Good GOD! Taryn shot for the stars... and she took not just Terra out, but also herself!
EJ: She may not be Estrogen Champion, but she proved something tonight! She proved that she can take Terra down and put her out!
MW: That is very much true! She definitely took out Terra, but when she gets another shot at the title, she's going to have to do it within the confines of the rules!
EJ: This is a first step and it was a good one, even though she's not champion!
The camera comes back to the section where we had the drawings, where Danielle Lopez is standing beside the Wheel of Fortune like wheel, and all sixteen contestants (as well as their managers) of The Lethal Cup are standing by.Danielle Lopez: Now this is the time where we determine who will face who, as well as what type of match will take place.
All the contestants look eager to know who they'll be facing.Danielle Lopez: The matches will be as followed: Kijo will face Amy York. Desiree Miles will face the debuting Elektra! Serena Mariella will face Angelina Williams! Whiskey Emmanuelle will square off against Calista! Jen Henderson will face Sophia Young! Mariah will face Mai Edwards! Shelly The Bod will face Sgt. Clemets, and Riley James will face Miss Data!
The contestants look very pleased.Danielle Lopez: Now I will spin the wheel of fate for the Shelly versus Clemets match...
Danielle spins the wheel and it goes around for a few rounds. It soon stops and it lands on... Tables match!Danielle Lopez: We got a Tables match. This'll be very fun.
The two of them seem rather content with the choice of match they have to compete in.Danielle Lopez: Now we spin it for the Mariah Lopez versus Mai Edwards match...
Danielle spins the wheel again and it goes around in a circle. It spins three or four times until it slows down and eventually it lands on... Joshi Rules Match!Danielle Lopez: Joshi Rules! This will be a fun match to have on the card!
Mariah is smirking as this is her specialty match.Danielle Lopez: Next up. Riley versus Data...
Danielle spins the wheel once more. It goes around a few times until it stops at... Bar Room Brawl.Danielle Lopez: Bar Room Brawl. Now I don't personally do bars or anything, hell I don't drink or do drugs, so it'll be up to you guys to find a suitable location for this.
Talia Skye: We'll find it Dani.
Danielle Lopez: Next up is Whiskey versus Calista...
Danielle spins the wheel again. It makes its round until it stops at... Falls Count Anywhere match!Danielle Lopez: We have a dosage of Falls Count Anywhere for Whiskey and Calista!
Both competitors, as well as Riley Vega, all look rather pleased.Danielle Lopez: Now we determine what match will be taking place for Jen Henderson versus Sophia Young...
The wheel spins and spins until it makes its stop at... Street Fight match!Danielle Lopez: You two will engage in a Street Fight!
The two of them are okay with it.Danielle Lopez: Now for the Serena versus Angelina match...
The wheel spins and spins, until it lands on... Extreme Makeover match!Danielle Lopez: Ahh the Mi Pi Sexy specialty. This'll be fun.
Angelina looks on with a smirk on her face, while Serena and Alexis are having a discussion.Danielle Lopez: Now for Desiree versus Elektra match...
Danielle spins the wheel again. It spins a couple of times until it lands on... Bra and Panties. Danielle looks irate.Danielle Lopez: Umm... fuck that shit! I am NOT having that kind of FUCKING MATCH in my motherfucking company. I'm spinning this bitch again.
Danielle puts her strength into this spin and it goes faaaaaast. It eventually stops and lands on... Hardcore match!Danielle Lopez: Oh thank god! Hardcore match ladies!
Desiree and Elektra are pumped, more so that they don't have to compete in any Bra and Panties matches.Danielle Lopez: Last but certainly not least. Kijo versus Amy York...
Danielle spins the wheel. It spins three times until it stops on... Casket match!Danielle Lopez: I think this is a first for us here in WWA. A Casket match!
Amy looks horrified, while Kijo stares on with a devilish smile on her face, knowing this is sort of her area in expertise.Danielle Lopez: Alright ladies. I'll see you all next week for The Lethal Cup.
Match 5: Kijo vs. Melanie Ramirez
Kijo defeated Melanie Ramirez by submission. This has been a budding rivalry for weeks, for unknown reasons, but its definitely an uphill battle for Melanie as she faces perhaps the most feared wrestler on the roster. Melanie tried her best, but Kijo showed everybody just why she may very well be WWA World Champion sooner than later. This was a little more tit and tat as Melanie had her chances, but Kijo was just too power and too much of a force for the "Shining Starlet". Kijo wore Melanie down long enough to lock her in the Obsidian Nightmare. Melanie had no choice but to tap out.Match 6: Hot and Sexy (Katie Chason and Brittany Kinary (w/Alexis Landry) © vs. The Canadian Glam Squad (Talia Skye and Reyna Carter) [WWA Tag Team Championship]
The Canadian Glam Squad defeated Hot and Sexy by pinfall to become the new WWA Tag Team Champions. The hostility between the two sides had been brewing for quite sometime, and it was only made worse when Alexis cost Reyna the Queen Bitch Title earlier in the night. Talia and Brittany started things off, and it was evened up in the beginning. The Glam Squad had the advantage in the early going, doing frequent tags and utilizing their speed and expertise to throw the champs off balance. Eventually, the champs got the upperhand and they isolated Talia from her corner. This lasted until Talia hit Katie with a backdrop, which lead to both of them making the tag to their partners. Reyna Carter came in like a house of fire, taking out both members of Hot and Sexy. Her and Brittany fought for five more minutes, going tit for tat... until Brittany attempted the Red Hot Stunner... but Reyna pushed her away, and ended up hitting the Inferiority Complex! Talia got in and neutralized Katie while Reyna went for the cover... and the Canadian Glam Squad win the tag team titles.MW: WE JUST WITNESSED HISTORY! WE JUST WITNESSED HISTORY! TALIA AND REYNA ARE THE TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!
EJ: Reyna Carter is the first ever GRAND SLAM winner in the history of this company! She has made history, and Talia is the only wrestler to have won the titles with TWO different partners!
MW: Questions will be followed as to how far The Canadian Glam Squad can go as a team after this monumental victory!
Main Event: Crystal Alvarez © vs. Joanna [WWA World Championship]
Crystal Alvarez defeated Joanna by pinfall to retain the WWA World Championship. This was our main event of the night, and this featured two of the more popular wrestlers in the WWA today. We had our big fight introductions before they began to fight. It was very even in the get-go, both wrestlers were on their game and neither could get the advantage. Punches, kicks and a technical style were all on display, it was a slow paced match up at first... but things picked up as Joanna took advantage, using her speed and agility to knock the champ off of her feet. Joanna then switched to striking one of the best pure strikers in the game today, much to success. This lasted until Crystal hit a straight kick to the face as Joanna tried for something high risk. The champ was in control as she struck away at the Huntress before wearing her down with various submission holds. The two of them continued their battle, with the fans fully invested and dual chants of "KO Queen" and "Huntress" heard loudly through the arena. The two of them engaged in a stalemate that lasted several minutes, until Joanna hit the Jungle Spear... but could only get a two count! Crystal then came back and hit the KO Queen Special... but also got a two count! The two of them continued their battle, until the KO Queen hit Joanna with the Super Duper Knockout Supreme! Crystal eventually dragged herself to Joanna, draping her arm over her... and getting the three count to retain her title in a very hard fought match.MW: Crystal has retained the WWA World Title in what is quite possibly the match of the year for us!
EJ: Spectacular efforts in the part of both women! It honestly could have gone either way!
Both women are eventually up to their feet, exhausted from the match they just had. Crystal has the WWA World Championship in her left hand as she extends her right hand. Joanna looks and shakes the hand of her opponent, showing a sign of respect for not just each other but also for the richest prize in the company today.MW: Even after a hard fought battle, there's still respect to be shown between these two warriors!
EJ: No kidding! They're honorable competitors who want to do this the right way, and they did that tonight!
Crystal and Joanna stand tall together while the fans cheer on loudly. The PPV ends with both of them taking a bow for the St. Louis faithful.
