Sunday 30th October 2005
We commend to Almighty Goddess our sister Ciara; and we commit her body to the ground; earth to earth; ashes to ashes, dust to dust.
On this, the night many came home. Only to wish it was only a nightmare. Many pondering if they don't wake up screaming, that they won't wake up at all.
[We fade in to the blackened Air Canada Center. Flashes from cameras light up portions of the crowd at random moments and the crowd cheers with excitement. They cheer louder as the whispering lyrics of Drowning Pool’s “Bodies” are laid into a microphone.]
Let the bodies hit the floor
[The rock music begins to play as the beat of the song starts. The stage and arena are suddenly lit up with a blinding light before it fades to an orange and green strobe. The stage is designed so that it was has a man with a giant Halloween head pointing his finger at the ring. The entrance way lies under his hand, and the stage mimics the Ashes to Ashes promotional banners. The ramp leads to the ring and bat stencils are imprinted on the edges. The ring has been designed with special orange ropes too, to further celebration the Halloween holiday.]
[The camera pans to the stage over the sea of fans as Chester begins to sing the opening voice, with a microphone stand in front of his him and the rest of Linkin Park playing around him. He’s dressed in his usual casual attire and leans back with the microphone as he sings.]
Beaten why for
[On the video wall’s surrounding the stage we can see shots of the feuds and fights taking place tonight in a montage of the history leading up to the event.]
Now
[Chester sings into the camera, leaning down with his microphone standing, with the microphone in his hand. Some of the audience members leap up and down in tune with the song and sing along to the Linkin Park renedition of the classic song.]
Push me again
[Linkin Park finish the song with another chorus and then finally with an orange and red coloured pyro. The guitar players take off their guitar and take a brief bow, Chester signals to the crowd as they leave the stage. The camera pans around the cheering crowd as the instrumental of the song plays once more, the many of Canadian crowd are dressed in Halloween costumes. The crowd have gone for diversity as the crowd vary in their costumes, from Frankenstein to Austin Powers, Charlies Angels to Destiny’s Child, and Queen Elizabeth to Queen Latifah.]
[We pan around the audience and check out their handy work on signs, and the director picks out their favourites. “Lilith > Michael Myers!”, “I’m the Scream murderer!” and “Icenique + TNA = Total Nonstop Ass!” are just a few in the excited crowd. We cut to JLT and Leah sitting at their commentary table, JLT is dressed normally in a white dress and her hair perfectly cupping her face. Leah is next to her, dressed as Dracula, complete with a leather cape which she swings around.]
JLT: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Ashes to Ashes! We’re coming to you live from Toronto, Canada and we’ve got a worldwide audience tuning in to what we surely be one of the best pay per views in DU history! I’m Jamie L. Tyland and I’m joined by my lovely companion and partner Leah!
Leah: Companion? That sounds so gay! Hello! Welcome to Ashes to Ashes, I’m Leah, or should I say, Draculeah? Muahahaha!
JLT: Well Draculeah, it looks like our Canadian crowd has really gotten into the Halloween spirit! Every other person is dressed up in some way or another! The atmosphere is electric tonight!
Leah: And why didn’t you dress up?
JLT: I am dressed up. I’m a respected journalist who was told that it was not mandatory to put on a costume and so she didn’t because she didn’t want to look stupid in front of 20 countries watching around the globe.
Leah: Oohhh I see! I did not get that!
JLT: Well now you have. Anyway, we have a huge jam-packed show for you tonight! We’ve got all five of Divas Unleashed’s championships on the line tonight, for the first time in a very long while too!
Leah: They don’t get much bigger than our main event. Our 9th Unleashed champion Icenique defends her belt against the respect-wielding Ciara Demillo! Ciara has been on a rampage recently, attacking whoever crosses her paths with whatever weapons she can find, and Icenique accepted her challenge to fight it out in that very ring! I can’t wait!
JLT: We’ve also got the Stripped Championship being defended as the Unibrow takes on Laura in a “Halloween Havoc” match! The Unibrow is the master of the schoolboy as we know, and Laura assaulted her last week on Ashley’s show. Laura thinks that the Unibrow will be an easy challenge but we’ll have to wait and see about that!
Leah: I know, you can’t underestimate the power of the brow. We also have the Divas Unleashed Tag Team Championships being defend as Katrina and Kristin Wallace-Hudson step into the first time to defend their ‘stolen’ belts against the Body Shop, Heather Burnside and Sexy Amanda! I can’t decide who I think is going to win, I think it’ll be a pretty close contest! I can’t wait for that one!
JLT: We’ll be definitely crowning a new Rockford State Champion as we have a Halloween-costume battle royal to decide the new champion! We’ve got an array of DU rookies such as Jinx, Katia, Alisha Swanson and Kelly Locke but alongside them we have our more experienced members such as Natalie Joyner, Lilith and Bloo! I can’t wait to see who the winner is, or their costumes!
Leah: I bet they’re all really slutty, except for Lilith! We’ve got the mighty Russian Irena Malenakova going head to head with Joanie Storm in singles action, and that should be a very good match! Both women make their pay per view debut, and is it me or does Joanie Storm seem a little unstable? Mentally I mean?
JLT: I think she is, but that will only make the match more entertaining! Dame Barbara is gunning for Shayla Walker and they’ll settle the score over their Askai Championship feud tonight! Barbara claims she let Shayla win, and we shall see who comes out as the cruiserweight Askai Champion this evening! It’s going to be tough to pick a winner in that match!
Leah: It sure is! We’ve also got a Halloween special of Ashley Interviews and Freddy Krueger and Jason present the Diva of the Month award! That’s scary Jamie, I don’t want them coming out here and hacking me to death!
JLT: Don’t worry, I’m here, I’ll protect you!
Leah: That doesn’t help!
JLT: Gee, thanks.
Rockford State Championship Battle Royal
JLT: Our first match of the evening is the Halloween costume battle royal for the Rockford State Championship! I’m excited for this one Leah, out of all the women competing we’ll definitely be crowning a brand new champion!
Leah: We certainly will, since Mystika vacated her belt on Exile two weeks ago we’ve been champion-less but this is the type of match to solve such problems! The battle royal is such a classic!
JLT: We had a brawl on Exile last week in which the women in this match fought after Katia proclaimed she was the best, and Bloo and Jinx disagreed and to cut a long story short we had a huge brawl!
Leah: I know, I’m more interested in seeing what costumes they’re going to wear!
[We cut to John Roe in the ring, he smiles, dressed smartly in a designer suit. His bald head shimmering under the light.]
John Roe: The following contest is a Rockford State Championship battle royal! Participants will enter via a randomly every two minutes. Each participant is asked to wear a Halloween costume, and participants can be eliminated by being tossed over the top rope, with both feet touching the floor. The last person remaining in the ring at the end is the winner!
[“No Need To Explain” by Lacuna Coil hits the PA system as the sexy Kelly Locke struts out from the stage, wearing a revealing nurses outfit. She has a white costume, and a white hat with a red cross upon it. She has a stethoscope around her neck as she makes her way down to the ring, she smiles and steps into the ring.]
JLT: A sexy nurse? That’s original.
Leah: At least she has a stethoscope, which gives her some legitimacy.
JLT: Kelly Locke makes her DU debut, quite the debut too if I do say so myself!
[“The One” by Rob Zombie hits the PA system as “Two Crazy” Alisha Swanson struts onto the stage in a leather FBI outbit. She has FBI on her left breast in yellow writing, she has a silver gun in her hand and she points it to the air and fires it, as a yellow pyro flies out and hits the ceiling. Alisha then blows the smoke from her gun and begins to walk down to the ring in her black leather boots.]
JLT: Alisha Swanson is dressed in quite the outfit, don’t you think Leah?
Leah: All that leather. She must of gone through 18 cows just to get that all in one FBI outfit!
JLT: Alisha is making her DU debut too, we’ll start the pay per view with two brand new divas in the ring! Here we go!
[The referee calls for the bell. Alisha immediately runs towards Kelly and spears her into the canvas. Alisha nails some fists to the face before bringing Kelly to her feet, she whips her to the ropes. Kelly manages to hold on to the ropes and stop, Alisha runs towards her and Kelly ducks and nails a back body drop sending Alisha over the top rope and landing on the apron. Kelly walks forward, applauding herself but Alisha grabs a chunk of her hair and yanks her down into the canvas.]
[Alisha steps back into the ring and kicks Kelly in the back of the head, Kelly reaches her feet and catches one of Alisha’s martial arts kicks. Alisha hops with only one leg to support her, and Kelly pulls Alisha forward into a clothesline. Kelly brings Alisha to her feet and slaps her across the face a few times before picking her up and slamming her into the canvas with a scoop slam. Kelly then turns around and heads to the top turnbuckle.]
JLT: It looks like Nurse Kelly is going up top for a high risk!
Leah: I hope she doesn’t end up in hospital!
[Kelly leaps off the turnbuckle with a moonsault but Alisha rolls out of the way and Kelly lands on her feet. Alisha hops to her feet and nails a harsh kick to Kelly’s side, Alisha Swanson runs to the ropes but is caught on the rebound with a tilt-o-whirl slam from Kelly Locke. Kelly then brings Alisha to her feet and tries to push her over the top rope, Alisha hangs on, wrapping her arms around the second rope.]
[“Touch” by Amerie suddenly blasts into the arena, Kelly glances around at the entrance. There is a sound of marching as Katia is lead out onto the stage by four men, Katia lies on a purple stretcher, wearing a Cleopatra-style haircut. The men place the stretcher on the floor and help Katia up, as she walks down to the ring casually.]
JLT: So here comes Katia, or should I say Cleopatra?
Leah: The Queen of the Nile, let’s hope she kills herself with a snake too!
JLT: That’s not very nice.
Leah: Neither is she.
[Katia steps into the ring and runs towards Alisha and Kelly, Katia leaps into the air with a dropkick and sends Kelly tumbling over the top rope and taking Alisha with her. Both women hit the floor hard and they look into the ring in shock.]
JLT: Katia just eliminated two women!
Leah: She has to wait in the ring for two minutes now!
[Katia then begins to pose in the ring, blowing kisses to the fans and do all sorts of Cleopatra poses for the camera. She climbs on the top turnbuckle and waves to Kelly and Alisha as they’re lead up the ramp by the referees.]
[After the two minutes expire, “Hope” by ZYD hits the PA system as Natalie Joyner walks out onto the stage dressed as a monk. She pauses and looks around at the crowd, in her flowing brown robes. She then smiles and rips her robe open to reveal a metal Xena-style outfit underneath. She then runs to the ring, in her knee-high boots and slides under the bottom rope.]
JLT: It looks like Natalie is being Xena Warrior Princess!
Leah: Finally that girl sexed it up a little, she was being such a prude before!
[Katia swings for a clothesline but Natalie ducks and heads to the ropes, she bounces off with a flying clothesline which sends both women down to the mat. Natalie finds her feet first and slams Katia into the corner, Natalie nails some kicks to the mid-section before she pulls Katia out and places her on the top rope. Natalie slaps Katia across the face and climbs up with her, Natalie gets her into a superplex position but Katia elbows Natalie and tosses her backwards to the mat.]
[Natalie lands on her feet as Katia leaps from the top rope and connects with a tornado DDT bringing them down into the canvas. Both women find their feet and Katia runs towards Natalie but Natalie executes a drop toe hold, and quickly applies an ankle lock. Natalie applies more pressure as she kneels behind Katia. Livia stands on the outside of the ring and cheers on her friend, Katia manages to push herself up on her arms and uses her free leg to boot Natalie in the face. Natalie stumbles backwards and clutches her chin, Katia finds her feet and shakes the foot that was previously in the painful submission.]
[Both women run towards each other and Natalie attempts a back body drop but Katia flies over with a sunset flip and uses her strength to thrust Natalie backwards into the turnbuckle. Natalie hits it and falls to her butt in the corner, Katia then places a foot on Natalie’s neck, choking her in the corner. The buzzer sounds once again as the next randomly selected participant makes their entrance.]
[“Last Night On Earth” by Powerman 5000 hits the PA system and the arena is hit by a blue strobe light. Bloo walks out in a blue ninja outfit, with her eyes cut out and her high ponytail from the top of her head. Next to her stands Trixie dressed in a Japanese school girl outfit, with her blue hair in two pigtails. Bloo then slowly makes her way down to the ring as Trixie gives her client words of encouragement.]
JLT: It looks like we have Bloo the Ninja! If that is even her! All she has is her eyes cut out, that’s quite the tight outfit, leather seems to very popular tonight!
Leah: Well would you expect anything else but S&M from Bloo and Trixie?
[Bloo steps through the second rope as Katia turns to face her, Katia gives her a dirty look and goes back to choking Natalie. The referee tells Katia to stop her choke and Katia brings Joyner to her feet and whips her across the ring to Bloo. Bloo catches Natalie’s arm and swings her round as they both face Katia, Katia runs towards them but Bloo and Joyner link hands and nail a double clothesline to Katia.]
[Natalie and Bloo then high five each other, and Natalie turns her back on Bloo to pose to the crowd but Bloo comes from behind with a bulldog driving Joyner into the canvas. Bloo then stomps on Natalie a few times as Natalie rolls out of the ring, under the rope, to the floor on the outside. Bloo turns and is met with a kick from Katia, Katia then pulls Bloo into a snap suplex. Natalie Joyner climbs on the apron from the outside of the ring, she leans back on the ropes and leaps into the ring with a missile dropkick which connects to the back of Katia.]
[Natalie finds her feet as Bloo comes at her with a series of punches, Bloo whips Natalie into the corner and falls it up with a flying splash. Bloo then begins to stomp onto Natalie sending her down to her butt on the bottom turnbuckle, Bloo then runs to the otherside of the ring and signals to the crowd. She runs towards Natalie and leaps onto her, delivering an insulting bronco buster to Joyner.]
[Bloo climbs off her position and turns into the ring where she’s met with a mule kick from Katia. The buzzer sounds and “Planet Hell” by Nightwish hits the PA system, Lilith walks out from behind the curtain in her usual attire, the beast opting not to wear a costume for the battle royal. She walks slowly down to the ring, staring at some of the audience members who boo her.]
JLT: Isn’t Lilith wearing a costume?
Leah: She doesn’t need a costume to be scary Jamie! Just look at her! She’s such a beast!
[Lilith climbs into the ring, Katia approaches her and begins to shout things in her face. Katia then slaps Lilith hard across the face, Katia whips Lilith to the ropes and Lilith bounces back and nails a big boot to the Egyptian’s face. Natalie Joyner comes from behind and leaps onto Lilith’s back with a sleeper hold, she then grabs her legs around Lilith’s body, squeezing her into a submission.]
[Meanwhile Bloo comes from behind to Katia, attempting to toss her over the top rope but Katia manages to hold on the top and land on the apron. Bloo then swings a fist at Katia but Katia ducks and nails Bloo across the face before using two fingers to poke through her eye slits and nail Bloo in the eyes. Bloo stumbles into the ring, holding her eyes.]
[Lilith manages to free herself from Natalie by grabbing a chunk of her hair and pulling her off by force. Lilith then whips Natalie Joyner in the direction of Katia, who steps through the ropes back into the ring. Katia nails a back body drop and sends Natalie flying over the top rope to the outside of the ring.]
JLT: Natalie’s eliminated!
Leah: Bye-bye Xena!
[“Last Night On Earth” by Powerman 5000 hits the PA system as Jinx runs out in a purple ninja outfit, which matches Bloo’s exactly. She runs down to the ring and slides under the bottom rope.]
JLT: Jinx is a purple ninja! They’re a matching set!
Leah: Honestly.
[Jinx ties up with Lilith, nailing her in the legs with some kicks. Bloo and Jinx then both whip Lilith to the ropes and execute a flapjack onto the beast. The two colourful divas find their feet and begin to stomp on her, Katia then joins in as all three women begin to stomp on Lilith. Jinx then brings Lilith to her feet and tries to whip her to the ropes but Lilith counters and pulls Jinx into a clothesline. Bloo and Katia then begin to exchange punches, Katia nails a headsnap to Bloo and leans down behind Bloo and begins to pull up her ninja mask, Katia manages to pull it up to Bloo’s nose before Bloo elbows Katia away.]
[Bloo finds her feet, Lilith nails a knee from behind and picks Bloo up into a sidewalk slam. Jinx then pulls up her mask to her nose to match Bloo, Jinx climbs to the top rope and Lilith turns to face her. Jinx leaps from the top rope with a hurricanrana sending Lilith to the canvas and sliding to the canvas. Jinx and Bloo then find their feet and whisper in each other’s ears and nod. The tag team circle Katia in the centre of the ring, Bloo then suddenly spits out blue mist at the same time as Jinx unleashes her purple mist. Katia ducks however, and the duo catch each other in the eyes.]
JLT: That backfired! Jinx and Bloo just sprayed each other in the eyes with that mist!
Leah: Serves them right! Lesbianism doesn’t get you anywhere!
[Bloo stumbles to the ropes as Katia runs to her and clotheslines her over the top to the outside, Katia then bounces to the ropes and does the same to Jinx, knocking her over the top rope to the outside, as Trixie shouts in frustration.]
JLT: Bloo and Jinx have both been eliminated!
Leah: It’s down to Katia and Lilith!
[Lilith finds her feet and Katia recuperates in the corner. Lilith walks to the centre of the ring as Katia climbs to the top rope, Lilith cuts Katia off though by attacking her with a barrage of rights, leaving Katia grounded on the top turnbuckle. Lilith then pulls Katia into a “Hellish Nightmares” powerbomb finisher, and signals to powerbomb Katia over the top rope. Lilith then begins to run to one of the ropes but Katia manages to counter by nailing a hurricanrana to Lilith sending her down into the canvas.]
[Katia brings Lilith to her feet and nails a few shots across the face, Katia leans Lilith against the ropes and heads to the other side of the ring, hitting the ropes herself. Katia bounces back and attempts to clothesline Lilith over the top rope but Lilith counters with a back body drop. Katia manages to land on the apron, Lilith turns around and Katia nails her with a slap across the face, Katia then pulls her into a suplex. Katia then uses her strength to thrust Lilith up into the air and out of the ring with a huge suplex from the apron.]
JLT: Katia’s won!
Leah: She’s the new champion!
[Lilith lies on the floor on the outside of the ring as Katia climbs in a smile on her face, she raises her arms in victory as Livia climbs into the ring with her. Livia raises Katia’s arm in the air as the referee presents her with the Rockford State Championship.]
John Roe: Here is your winner, and NEW Rockford State Champion…KATIA!!!
[Katia climbs onto the turnbuckle as “Touch” by Amerie begins to play on the PA system, she raises her belt above her head and smiles, nodding to herself. Livia applauds in the centre of the ring.]
JLT: Katia is the new champion! In her pay per view debut she’s won a championship!
Leah: I’m sure we have plenty of arrogance to come from her now that she’s the champion!
JLT: That’s true, she did say she was going to win the battle royal and she has!
[We cut backstage to see Shayla Walker standing next to Holly Wentz, Shayla is playing with her fingers and looking down at her hands. Holly is dressed smartly in a business suit, and smiles to the camera. Shayla looks up sharply as Holly begins to speak.]
Holly Wentz: I’m standing backstage with our Askai Champion Shayla Walker. How are you feeling tonight Shayla?
Shayla Walker: Pretty good actually, despite the week I went through
Holly Wentz: Could you recap that week for those who don’t know what you’re talking about, like myself?
Shayla Walker: Well it started last week when Barbara told me that she let me win. Monday it seems my fellow peers aren't looking up to me. Instead they torment me and call me a fraud. I get in a fight with one of them and get suspended from school for the whole week. So it wasn't till Friday when I was staying at my cousins house, that I get the feeling that Barbara lied about letting me win. So she would think I'm not going to win tonight.
Holly Wentz: Do you think you’re going to win tonight? Or do you think Barbara did let you win?
Shayla Walker: Of course I'm going to win! If I lose tonight I might as well quit wrestling for good because nobody will respect me anymore. They still think that I'm a fraud! That's why I must win tonight. To gain the respect that deserve
Holly Wentz: You mentioned what you’re going to do if you lose, but what happens if you win tonight? What would your future plans be?
Shayla Walker: Continue defending this title and maybe hope to be a Diva of the Month after tonight's win.
Holly Wentz: Good luck with that, and good luck tonight.
Shayla Walker: Thank you.
[Shayla smiles at Holly who smiles back and then readjusts her belt on her shoulder. Holly looks at the camera with a smile, we fade out.]
[We cut backstage into the dressing room of the Accomplishments. Katrina stands polishing her tag team belt with her sleeve, and in the middle of the room stands Kristin Wallace-Hudson and Oliver Hudson who are both looking down into a baby’s cot. Kristin sighs and looks at Oliver.]
Kristin Wallace-Hudson: Did you have to bring him?
Oliver Hudson: He’s our son?
Kristin Wallace-Hudson: I know but we don’t have anyone to baby-sit him. I want you to come to the ring with me, whose going to look after little Matt?
Oliver Hudson: We’ll find someone, relax.
[Kristin rolls her eyes and takes a seat on the leather sofa, Katrina breaks the silence.]
Katrina: You know the Unibrow? Do you ever think she looks in the mirror?
Kristin Wallace-Hudson: That’s a little random isn’t it?
Oliver Hudson: I hope so. The Unibrow is hot.
[Kristin snaps her head in Oliver’s direction, with her eyes wide. He smiles at her and shrugs.]
Oliver Hudson: She has a good body. I don’t pay attention to her face.
Kristin Wallace-Hudson: Why did we bring him? Seriously? Why?
Oliver Hudson: Because I’m your adorable husband?
[Oliver smiles at Kristin, who shakes her head.]
Kristin Wallace-Hudson: Do you understand how important this night is for me? I’m defending these championships against the Body Shop, I don’t want to lose them Oliver. I’m a former Unleashed Champion, I’m a Hall of Famer, and I’m better than your stupid psycho sister.
Katrina: Do you think I’m going to lose to Sexy Amanda and Heather Burnside, Kris? They’re a makeshift team so they’re not going to have any longevity.
Kristin Wallace-Hudson: I don’t want to lose it for you, we’ve worked so hard to get these belts.
Katrina: Kris, we talked about it. We have a gameplan. Don’t worry.
[Kristin glances at Katrina and then smiles to herself, she looks to the middle of the ring where baby Matthew is sleeping.]
Oliver Hudson: How about if we have Holly watch him?
Kristin Wallace-Hudson: Holly Wentz? She’s a total klutz.
Oliver Hudson: Who then?
