Ayu Megumi vs. Yennefer Filth

Ayu Megumi and Yennefer Filth are in the ring for this Event Horizon first round tournament match. Outside the ring is a shopping cart that Yennefer has brought to the ring, full of things that can only mean bad news for either of the two involved. Ayu starts to move forward, looking for a lockup but Yennefer throws her hands up, bidding her to wait a second. She sticks a finger up while pointing to the cart with her other hand and rolls out of the ring. Ayu tilts her head as Yenn grabs a stop sign out of the cart and chucks it into the ring. Ayu instinctively picks it up, waiting for Yenn to come back into the ring but Yenn’s still tossing things out, into the ring and to the floor around it until she’s able to pull out the trash can inside without having it wedged between anything. Yenn rolls the bin into the ring, after squeezing it under the bottom rope. Hilariously, she actually calls Ayu over to help pull the bottom rope up which she in fact does. Yenn crawls back into the ring and pops the lid off of the bin and empties its contents out onto the mat. Out falls a staple gun, a gallon sized ziploc bag full of thumbtacks, a brick (?!), a box of bbq skewers and a couple of…oh god, those look like novelty toys! Yenn picks up one, a cat-o-nine tails flogger and helicopters it in one hand before holding it up and pointing to it while looking at Ayu. Ayu tilts her head in adorable confusion and she has the stop sign in her hand again. Yenn even tells her what it is and counts out the number of strips on it. She then motions for Ayu to come over and casually cocks it back for a strike but Ayu shakes her head like Yenn’s out of her damn mind. She’s not just gonna let the woman hit her with that thing!

Yennefer Filth: C’mere!

Ayu Megumi: NO!

Yennefer Filth: Come! Here! Bad girl!

Ayu Megumi: NO! You bad girl!

Yenn gives Ayu an incredulous look and lunges at her, swinging with the flogger. Ayu slips out of the way but Yenn spins around and swings again. This time, Ayu uses the stop sign as a sort of shield as the leather strips thud across the surface of the metal surface. Yenn keeps swinging to try and catch Ayu with that flogger until she catches her on the fingers. Ayu lets go of the sign with one hand and shakes her hand, yelling “OUCH!” Yenn comes in for another swing but Ayu slips by her again and as Yenn spins around, Ayu whacks her right across the head with the stop sign. Yenn drops the flogger and stumbles around, fighting to stay on her feet but she’s clearly seeing stars.

Seth Ernst: That’ll wake ya up in the morning!

Miranda Augustino: That’ll knock your ass out in the morning!

Lucas Knox: This match actually had a much different start than I thought it would.

Ayu wastes no time and throws the sign to the mat. She pulls Yenn in, hooks an arm around her head and delivers a Snap DDT right onto the stop sign and Yenn rolls over, limp onto her back. Ayu covers!


Yenn sits up, bracing her weight on one arm as she holds her head and shakes the stars out.

Yennefer Filth: Ow, you little shit!

Ayu Megumi: No, you little shit!

Yenn gets to her feet and the two start arguing over who the real little shit here is. Ayu plants her fists on her hips and puffs her chest out to Yenn but Yenn just open-hand slaps her right across the face! This gets a boo from a Chicago but Yenn just throws the fans the middle finger and tugs on the crotch of her cutoff denim shorts. Ayu looks for a slap back to Yenn but Yenn catches her wrist and feeds her a forearm to the jaw. Ayu stumbles back and Yenn bulldozes her back into the corner where she starts laying into her with rapid fire elbow strikes and knees. The ref can’t do a damn thing about the corner trap due to the No Disqualification rule. Yenn pulls Ayu out of the corner, runs her around in a circle and just battering rams her between the top and middle turnbuckles, running her into the ringpost! Ayu cries out from the impact on her shoulder but she’s stuck momentarily in that position and Yenn picks up that nine-tails again.

Lucas Knox: Uh-oh…

Miranda Augustino: If we’d known more about Yennefer Filth, we might have advised viewer discretion! I don’t think this is the kind of thing you see at a show!

Seth Ernst: Definitely not a wrestling show, Mir!

Yenn cocks that flogger back and strikes Ayu right across the backside with a loud CRACK! This actually helps Ayu get out of her stuck predicament as she comes out of the corner, grabbing her butt and doing that sort of high knee jog. Yenn laughs and strikes her again, right across the back - leather on bare flesh! Ayu balls her fists and tenses her arms, gritting her teeth as she turns around but Yenn just nails her in the midsection with the flogger again. Ayu doubles over and Yenn proceeds to wildly lash her over and over until she’s curled into a fetal position on the mat. Yenn finally drops the flogger, drops down herself and hooks a leg on Ayu.


Ayu’s far from done in this match but we can see the red streaks across her skin from the beating she just took. Yenn laughs in admiration and pulls Ayu up by her hair, starting to slap her across the face. The fans are booing but Ayu’s starting to look mad as hell the more Yenn slaps her until she finally bats Yenn’s arm away and slaps her right back! Yenn looks back at Ayu and just pie faces her. Ayu falls a step back and gives Yenn a good stiff strong style forearm to the side of the neck. Yenn winces, grabbing her neck and comes back with a full-on closed fist punch right across the face. The crowd boos for it but that’s about all that can be done. She catches Ayu by the arm and goes for a Short Arm Clothesline but Ayu ducks and pulls her arm free. Before Yenn can turn around, Ayu’s leaping off of the mat and catches Yenn with “Moonlight Shadow (Poisonrana!!)” SPIKED HEAD FIRST INTO THE MAT IS YENNEFER FILTH!!! Ayu gets a pop of support from the crowd as she jumps to her feet and Yenn lies there, clutching her head. Ayu notices something on the mat and goes over to pick it up. It’s the other flogger that Yennefer dumped out of the trash can. This one’s a thicker, single strip of leather shaped with little prongs down the length and a flat, diamond shaped tip. Ayu stretches it out to examine it and a light bulb goes off in her head.

Ayu Megumi: Ohhhhhh! Dragon tail! I get it now!

Lucas Knox: I think Ayu’s about to give Filth a taste of her own medicine!

Yennefer pulls herself up to her feet and sees Ayu with the dragon tail in her hand. She laughs and motions for her to bring it on. Ayu tilts her head, a little taken aback and points between Yenn and the flogger. Yenn’s inviting her to hit her with this thing?! Yenn throws out her arms, screaming at Ayu to bring it on then turns around and grabs the top rope, bracing herself. Ayu double checks with the audience first who seem all for her getting some payback in. She shrugs, rears back and lets it rip with one hard lash across Yenn’s back. The crack of leather on the thin fabric of Yenn’s shirt over her flesh is still just as painful sounding as if it was on bare skin. Yenn’s legs buckle but she stays vertical and grips the ropes, screaming to Ayu that she can do better than that. Ayu sets up again and lashes Yenn a second time! This time, Yenn drops to one knee and cries out but the look of pain on her face is soon replaced by a disturbing smile across her face. She actually seems to be enjoying this to an extent! She pulls herself back to her feet and goads Ayu to hit her again. Shaking her head in disbelief, Ayu finally lets loose and starts smacking Yenn with the dragon tail over and over and over! Forward and backhanded strikes across her back! Somewhere during the onslaught of hits, the back of Yenn’s shirt is torn and she rips the rest of it off, opting to continue in just her workout bra.

She throws her shirt to the outside and turns to Ayu, screaming bloody murder at her. The camera gets a clear view of thick, painful red welts across her skin as she dares Ayu to come at her again. Ayu cocks back one more time and swings but Yenn ducks the attack, gets behind her and dunks Ayu with a Release German Suplex onto the mat! Yenn grabs the ziploc bag of thumbtacks and fights with Ayu for a moment, pouring a handful of tacks into her mouth. Before Ayu can spit them out, Yenn hits the ropes and charges in, screaming like a madwoman as she delivers “EAT SHIT AND DIE (BOMA YE)” to Ayu! Tacks go flying out of her mouth and The Amazing Girl goes spilling through the ropes and onto the ringside floor! Yenn collapses to the mat after completing the move as the surge of adrenaline passes and now she’s feeling the true pain of what she let Ayu do to her. It takes her another second but she rolls out of the ring and covers Ayu right there on the floor. The referee slides out and this is Falls Count Anywhere so there’s the count right there!


Yenn can’t believe it as she shoves three fingers in the referee’s face and shoves them out of the way. She picks Ayu up and Irish Whips her into the barricade before grabbing the shopping cart and charges forward with it, looking to sandwich Ayu against the barricade but Ayu desperately falls out of the way and Yenn misses her mark, slamming the cart into it! Ayu looks to be trying to flee and get some distance but she grabs something from inside the ring just within her reach. Yenn advances towards her and grabs her from behind but Ayu spins around. She’s got that brick in her hand that was dumped out of the trash can and splits it right over Yenn’s head! Both women fall to the floor on their butts with Yenn seeing stars and blood starts to trickle down her face. Ayu pulls herself back up. We can see blood running down her chin from the thumbtacks violently knocked out of her mouth. She even pulls one out of her tongue and looks at it in disgust as she tosses it away. She crawls into the ring just enough to grab the pack of BBQ skewers and pulls them out of the box. Ayu storms over to where Yenn’s trying to gather her senses in an angry walk - (think Cody Rhodes’ “Why I Oughta!”). She pulls Yenn’s head back against her and proceeds to hammer fist a handful of skewers into her scalp. Yenn like this a lot less than she liked being hit with the dragon tail and she lets it be known as she screams out in pain. Ayu silences her protests afterwards with “RYO NO IKARI (SUPERKICK)” that knocks her flat onto the padded floor and falls over her for a cover!


Ayu throws her hands up in disbelief that it wasn’t enough but she doesn’t waste much time before she climbs back into the ring and starts scaling to the top turnbuckle as Yenn slowly fights to make her way back to her feet. With the way Ayu’s positioned on the turnbuckle, it looks like she’s about to go for “Leap (Diving Moonsault)” to the outside but Yenn sees her steadying herself and desperately crawls back into the ring. Ayu spots her and starts to adjust but Yenn’s climbing up the turnbuckles to join her and before Ayu can react, Yenn snatches her off of her feet and just falls backwards and both women go crashing to the mat as Yenn delivers an Avalanche Saito Suplex! Both women look down and out and the referee has no choice but to start administering the double count lest the match need to be stopped. Both women start showing signs of life at about the count of 5 and Yenn’s able to find her feet with the aid of the ropes while Ayu’s just then making it up onto all fours. Yenn walks over and slides that stop sign into position and grabs Ayu by the hair, pulling her into a setup for “Cradle Of Filth (Wrist Clutch Fisherman Driver.)” She goes to lift Ayu up but Ayu kicks her free leg, causing a distribution of her weight and Yenn has to set her down. Ayu starts fighting against it, punching Yenn in the ribs and she finally gets free. Ayu shoves Yenn away and as Yenn comes back in, Ayu nails her with another “Ryo No Ikari (Superkick)” that spins Yenn around. Ayu grabs her and plants her back on top of the trash can, crushing it under her opponent’s weight with “STARSTORM (DRAGON SUPLEX)”!!! Ayu sits up, pumping her fists and feeling the energy as she hurries to climb to the top rope again and this time she comes soaring off with “LEAP (DIVING MOONSAULT)” RIGHT DOWN ONTO YENN!!!! She hooks the leg!!!


Thea Crawford: Here is your winner, and advancing to the second round, AYU MEGUMI!!

“Like It, Love It” plays as Ayu sits up, ecstatic over her victory and the referee raises her arm. Ayu waves her hands to the cheering crowd as they show their support before turning to see Yenn fighting to get up a moment later. Ayu tenses as her and Yenn enter a tense staredown. Ayu inches forward and offers out a handshake. Looking a little emotional and distraught, Yenn lets an uncomfortable moment pass before accepting the shake just as Ayu’s about to drop her hand. When the handshake ends, Yenn steps back and falls to her knees, bowing to the mat to Ayu. Ayu falls to her knees in front of her and hugs her opponent, even calling for the crowd to show some love for her effort. Looking embarrassed, Yenn hides her face behind her hair and gives Ayu the ring to celebrate as she retreats towards backstage.

Cherry Blackman vs. Crystal Caldwell

Crystal and Cherry lock-up in a traditional collar and tie-up. Cherry powers Crystal into the corner and starts to work her over with punches and strikes, spinning in place until the overwhelmed Crystal falls to the mat. Cherry drops a big elbow and then covers.


Cherry goes to get Crystal up and looks for a wheelbarrow. Crystal goes into a victory roll.


The two competitors get to their feet and Cherry starts to take over again. Cherry scoops Crystal and slams her. Crystal rolls away and Cherry tries to stomp her repeatedly, missing every time as Crystal goes across the ring, under the bottom rope and all the way to the floor. Cherry looks down at Crystal like she’s almost incredulous at the attempt at escaping. Crystal slowly gets up before pulling Cherry’s ankles. Cherry falls to the mat and Crystal jumps up onto the apron. She spingshots herself into a flying leg drop. Cherry moves and Crystal hits hard. Cherry hits a nasty elbow strike from her knees that knocks Crystal on her ass. Cherry covers.


As the two get up, Crystal hits the Flashing Lights out of desperation. Cherry goes down and Crystal gets up and hits Smell the Roses.


Cherry gets up, holding Crystal across her body. Cherry drops her onto her feet and starts giving in to Rage. Cherry tries for an Axe Kick but Crystal gets out of the way. Crystal gets up and hits a tilt-a-whirl DDT and follows with the Rose Prism Power.


Thea Crawford: Here is your winner, Crystal Caldwell!

Kira Logan vs. Alexandra Calaway

The bell rings, the match begins and the two competitors come out of their corners, meeting in the center for a collar and elbow tie up. They jock for position but it comes to a stalemate as they’re both about equal size and strength, until Calaway breaks the lock and slips behind Logan for a schoolgirl rollup with a handful of tights.


Logan manages to kick out and rolls to her feet, letting Calaway have it about the tight pulling. She mentions it to the referee also, but the referee reminds her that this is a No DQ match and anything goes. Getting heated, Logan hits Calaway with a stiff forearm right in the jaw. Calaway retracts for a second then glares and hits Logan right back with one. The two start firing off forearms in rapid succession, back and forth until Calaway drives a knee into Logan’s ribs and whips her off the ropes. Calaway goes for a lariat but Logan ducks under it, comes back off the ropes and catches her in a Cazador Rollup with a double handful of tights.


Calaway thrusts out of it and both women stand and square off with each other. Calaway shakes her head, fuming now and Logan just shrugs her shoulders. Fair is fair. They stare each other down for a moment before both have the same idea and slide out of the ring. Logan digs underneath the apron while Calaway screams at ring announcer, Thea Crawford, to get up and takes her chair. Both women slide back into the ring, both wielding chairs now. They swing together and the chairs collide with one another. Once. Twice. Thrice. On the third, Logan’s chair is knocked from her hands and Calaway comes in for a shot right at her head but Logan jukes behind her again, hits a kick to the midsection and sets Calaway up for a DDT on the chair she dropped. Calaway manages to shove her away then runs in and hits a Cactus Clothesline and both women spill to the outside. Calaway gets up first and grabs Logan up, bouncing her face off of the apron then the commentary table. She looks for an Irish Whip but Logan reverses it and sends Calaway slamming against the barricade. Calaway barely has a moment to catch her breath before Logan comes rushing in and hits a Cactus Clothesline of her own but instead of going over ropes, they spill over into the front row of the audience and start throwing wild fists as they fight to their feet. Logan gets the upper hand of the exchange and hits a Snap DDT to Calaway onto the floor, rolling her over for another cover.


Calaway kicks out but Logan stays on the aggressive side and waves some fans out of the way before whipping Calaway full force into a gathering of empty chairs, causing a chaotic pile of body and metal. Logan picks up one of the chairs and snaps it closed as Calaway makes it to her feet. As she does, Logan goes on the attack with the chair, beating Calaway across the back, sending her stumbling between the two sections of fans that lead towards one of the back doors. Eventually Calaway goes through the doors and Logan tosses the chair aside. As she follows Calaway through, she’s met with a trash bin flying right at her face which knocks her into a nearby wall. Calaway grabs her and runs her into the opposite wall, then back to the first, then back to the other, bouncing her back and forth down the hallway before putting her down with an STO and making a cover.


Logan gets the shoulder up right in the hallway. The two continue to fight their way through the arena. The cameras actually lose them for a few moments as Calaway goes for a V Trigger but Logan moves out of the way and Calaway’s knee comes flying right into the camera lens.


Miranda Augustino: Holy shit, what happened?!

Seth Ernst: We lost them! We apologize, ladies and gentlemen!

Lucas Knox: Totally! We’ll get another camera man back there as soon as possible!

It takes a few minutes but eventually, the feed cuts to the backstage with the new cameraman running through the back of the arena, following the sounds of shouting and brawling to catch up to the two. We find both Logan and Calaway, bleeding profusely, fighting it out in the loading area. Logan’s climbing up onto a scaffolding to get to Calaway who must have been looking for a diving maneuver from that vantage point. Calaway tries to kick her down but Logan fights her way up and starts feeding her lefts and rights. The referee, meanwhile, is on the floor level, waving his arms, almost pleading for the two to come down. Calaway eats a hard elbow and starts swaying on the edge of the scaffolding but Logan grabs her and turns, looking ready to hit “Spirit Gun” (Spanish Fly) from the top. Calaway sees the danger and elbows her way out of it until Logan lets her go. Logan pushes her away but Calaway comes right back in and nails her with a boot to the stomach. Logan doubles over and Calaway grabs her and lifts her up onto her shoulders.

Lucas Knox: She’s not gonna do this…

Miranda Augustino: Mami, you’re outta your goddamn mind.

Before Seth Ernst can get his two cents in, Calaway steps forward and JUMPS off of the scaffolding, taking herself and Logan both down and CRASHING through a stack of boxes on top of a set of tables with a leaping variation of “Apocalypse” (Last Ride Powerbomb).

Crowd: OHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

The referee runs over and clears some of the debris out of the way to find Calaway laying over Logan, the latter flat on her back, shoulders down. The referee counts.


Seth Ernst: As I was about to say: HOLY SHIT!!!

Miranda Augustino: RIGHT?!

Thea Crawford: Here is your winner, moving onto the next round, Alexandra Calaway!

Staff members rush over to attempt to tend to the two women while Calaway shows signs of life and while she’s helped to her feet, she shrugs the assistance off and throws her fist in the air with a bloody smile on her face. She pushes through the gaggle of people coming over, walking gingerly, limping through the pain before Lana Corvin and Jamie Austin come to the scene, both applauding her and offering their own aid. Only then does Calaway hang both of her arms over their shoulders as Legacies takes their leave.

Mark Storm vs. Kristina Spencer

Kristina jumps on Storm and then starts suplexing him in every way possible she can think of. She hits them at multiple angles and finally ends with a bridging northern lights one for the first cover of the match.


Kristina tries to get another grip but Storm is able to split her hands apart and starts to strike at her like every shot is saving his life. Storm batters away at her until he forces her into a corner and then ascends the turnbuckles looking for a set of punches up there. Kristina starts to powerbomb him down but Storm drops down into One For All. Kristina goes down and Storm covers her.


The two get to their feet and Storm looks for a set of strikes again but Kristna gets away and hits Air Crazy. She covers.


Kristina runs to the corner and comes off with the Wicked Good Time. Storm is stunned on the mat and Kristina covers again.


They get up and Kristina tries for another suplex run but gets cut off. Storm starts to backpedal away and hits the Rage of Glory. He gets her up and hits the Heroes End.


Thea Crawford: Here is your winner, Mark Storm!

The Kerry Family vs. The Death Riders

The Parkers rush the Kerry Family and send Jericho to the floor. They start working over Valereigh, taking turns on her as Jericho slowly gets up in their corner. Lilith hist a discus boot and Kaya covers her.


Kaya tags Lilith back in and they continue to take turns with quick tags to work Valereigh over. Kaya eventually hits the Parker-Go-Round.


Lilith comes in but Jericho knocks her down. He nails Kaya and then hits Lilith again. He nails Kaya again before he takes his place in his team’s corner with his hand outstretched towards his sister. Valereigh starts up but Kaya cuts her off from the tag. Valereigh spins into a DDT and starts towards the corner again. Lilith goes to cut her off and eats a big kick. Valereigh spins and tags in Jericho. Jericho comes in and starts blastsing both Parkers until Kaya rakes his eyes. As the referee goes to stop Valereigh, Lilith gives Jericho a low blow and then rolls him up. The referee races over to count


Valereigh and Jericho hit a double clothesline and Jericho covers Kaya while Valereigh tackles Lilith in the neutral corner.


Thea Crawford: Here are your winners, The Kerry Family!
