Golden Pro Wrestling theme song “The Sound” by Switchfoot begins to play…
THIS!

WRESTLING!
The camera fades into the FedExForum where thousands of fans have already filled into their seats on the floor, and every level within the entire arena!
The camera pans the arena and fans, providing shots of the ring, ramp, intro stage and Gold Screen. Blood-red fireworks explode off of the entrance stage, and additional crimson fireworks rain down from above.
The broadcast transitions to a two-shot of Golden Pro Wrestling’s announcer team.

Rudy Mac: Welcome to the Season 6 finale of Golden Pro Wrestling… BLOOD AND BLING! I’m Rudy Mac, your Memphis rasslin’ expert, and sitting next to me is a man who truly believes you can catch an STD from a toilet seat based on his own experiences, DeShawn Brannon!
DeShawn: Hey hey hey!
The two announcers take a moment to put on rain ponchos.
Rudy Mac: If I expect one thing tonight, it’s that we’re going to get RAINED ON with blood!
DeShawn: Try not to get any in your mouth!
Rudy Mac: I feel like I’m in the front row of a Gallagher watermelon-smashing show!
DeShawn: I don’t get that reference at all! Tell me more! Was he some sort of anti-fruit protestor? Was he trying to destroy symbols of African American stereotypes? Was he simply convinced honeydew was the superior melon!? TELL ME!
Rudy Mac: No time for all this! We are all set for the SEASON SIX FINALE! Can you believe we’re already here?
DeShawn: Rudy, I need a rundown, and not because I’m always late for production meetings!
Rudy Mac: Let’s keep this short and sweet… BLOOD! A First Blood Match will determine the Pure Gold Championship between Shotcaller and the Golden Warhorse, Golden Ben Miller!
DeShawn: That it!? One match!?
Rudy Mac: NO! We’re in treat for a FULL CARD of climatic entertainment including Ejercito de Juan attempting to defeat Awoke and free his family from ICE captivity, Flip Costa betting his hair against Violence’s Blur Out finisher, and Fuse Makoto traveling to the Draconian’s spaceship to RESCUE HIS WIFE!
DeShawn: Only in Golden Pro Wrestling could you get a Rudy Rundown like that!
Rudy Mac: But first up, we have a series of CHAMPIONSHIP matches between King Crab Mack and Sicko for the hardcore title, Your Captains challenging the Dominars for the tag team belts, and Decade defending the Silver Championship against his very own psychiatrist, Dr. Dean!
DeShawn: Take this card, cut it with fentanyl, let me overdo-
Rudy Mac: DeShawn! Stop turning the shows into drug analogies!

Blood And Bling moves backstage to the dimly lit rear entrance parking lot where the fans watch a transmission of a blood red stretch Escalade roll up. It stops and a door opens.
First to exit is Choo Choo who holds the door for others, and then one-by-one a stream of scantily clad young women emerges.
BOO!!!
After roughly six women get out, Wazzup follows them, as well as a number of other men in red-accentuated attire.
BOO!!!
Next to step out is local Memphis rapper Moneybagg Yo, which actually does prompt a cheer from those fans who crossover between Golden Pro Wrestling and hip-hop music.
Finally, following a dramatic pause, the current Pure Gold Champion climbs out with the belt over his shoulder.
Shotcaller.
BOO!!!
The displeasure from the fans all the way back inside the main arena of FedExForum can be heard through the hallways and into the parking lot.
The smallest member of 85 Piru, Choo Choo, leads the procession toward the door but takes a moment to comment into the handheld camera.
Choo Choo: Ya dun gonna be fucked tonight, ya heard golden boy?
The ladies follow laughing and joking and then Wazzup makes his own comment to the camera.
Wazzup: Golden Ben Miller ain’t got no gold. Only a mark takes a corny name like dat. Ya gonna bleed boyy.
Moneybagg Yo and the rest of the Bloods gang members continue, and finally it’s Shotcaller who gets in front of the camera.
Shotcaller: You know what it is. It’s your boy da homie from da west, da sucka free boss of GPW, da beast whoz da best… Shotcaller.
BOO!!!
Shotcaller: I ain’t done forget about NUFFIN. Da boss, Meloche, used me all of Season 2, then Season 3 ain’t nobody believed in me, and in Season 4?… all ya’ll didn’t give NO FUCKS that I got shot! Dat means itz me and my boyz vs. DA WORLD and we finna STOMP IT OUT!

BOO!!!
The leader of 85 Piru shrugs the Pure Gold Champion back up over his shoulder, snarls to the camera and continues walking as his entire parade of homies and women enter FedExForum.

The show returns inside the main arena of FedExForum for the first match of the night.
Rudy Mac: GAME ON! Shotcaller just laid out EXACTLY what he thinks about GBM!
DeShawn: Shotcaller is speaking truth to power, I suppose!
The fans being to POP when the familiar iconic guitar rifts of “Slit Wrist Theory” by 36 Crazyfists hits the speaker system.
Rudy Mac: The current KING of King Crab and former KING of the hardcore division is here to reclaim his throne! I’m talking about KING. CRAB. MACK!
KCM walks out from backstage onto the entrance ramp with his extra-large crabbing hook slung over his shoulder.
DeShawn: I once caught crabs from a toilet seat!
Rudy Mac: Gah, don’t spoil this for me!
The fans continue to cheer while the behemoth hardcore wrestler gets into the ring and pops his neck side-to-side. The music switches to “Deadman” by Karnivool.
BOO!!!
The group of Sicko, the Orderlies and Dr. Dean enter the stage, and Dean’s Demon fingers the Hardcore Championship belt around his waist.
Rudy Mac: Sicko had an even keeled to start to his GPW career but has since rattled off 4 straight wins and has been delivering pure HARDCORE DOMINANCE as the champ!
DeShawn: Here’s the bonkers thing, these two have only met ONCE with King Crab Mack defeating Sicko to become the first GPW Hardcore Champion at Gold Rush!
Rudy Mac: FINALLY! A USEFUL COMMENT!
Dr. Dean takes the belt off of Sicko and watches as his prized patient enters the ring. The two circle each other as the bell rings and the fans cheer in excitement for the show’s wrestling to begin.
Rudy Mac: There’s no doubt that King Crab Mack has revenge on his mind for what happened at Gold Strike 26 when Sicko delivered the Loose Screw onto a chair!
King Crab Mack rushes toward Sicko and swings his crab hook, but Sicko retreats away. This occurs two more times in a row, but on the last swing of the hook Sicko is able grab hold of it and whip King Crab Mack away and over the ropes.
THUD!
DeShawn: The sound of KCM hitting the ringside floor is as bad as a Steve Rose song!
Sicko pops off the ropes and delivers a diving punch to King Crab Mack.
1… 2… NO!!!
Dean’s Demon picks up the Bering Sea Badass and slams his head off of the barricade twice, and he then drops KCM with a jawbreaker. His doctor begins to sing his praises from nearby.
Dr. Dean: Good on you, my boy!
DeShawn: Sometimes coaching is just about believing in your athlete!
Sicko attempts to deliver a full nelson facebuster.
THE LOOSE SCREW-NO!!!
At the last second, King Crab Mack leverages the full nelson and pops Sicko up into a reverse tiger suplex before PLANTING him headfirst onto the ringside floor.
Rudy Mac: King Crab Mack using brains and brawn tonight!
1… 2… … NO!!!
Sicko is able to get to his feet and wrangles momentum away from KCM and then DROPS the Bering Sea Badass with a saito suplex onto the ring steps. King Crab Mack clutches his back.
Rudy Mac: Massive pain? I believe so!
With the challenger laid out, Sicko digs under the ring and pulls out a table. Dr. Dean motions for the Orderlies and they both help to set it up while Sicko pulls KCM over.
DeShawn: I don’t like it when tables are destroyed!
Rudy Mac: You might be bothered here!
Sicko gets King Crab Mack onto the table and then delivers his signature full nelson facebuster sending wood shattering and splintering everywhere.
THE LOOSE SCREW THROUGH A TABLE!!!
1… … 2… … NO!!!
The entire arena erupts at King Crab Mack’s resiliency.
Rudy Mac: Dr. Dean looks shocked!
King Crab Mack quickly climbs to his feet with a piece of the wooden table sticking out of his arm and bleeding everywhere.
DeShawn: It’s the first blood of the night!
The Bering Sea Badass stuns Sicko with a running elbow that RINGS the GPW Hardcore Champion’s head off of the ring post. KCM then quickly grabs his crabbing hook and dangles it from the ring post.
Dr. Dean: What is all this about, Mr. Mack!?
King Crab Mack lifts his opponent up and connects the back part of Sicko’s outfit onto one of the crabbing hook’s barbs leaving the current GPW Hardcore Champion dangling.
Rudy Mac: We’ve never seen KCM use his hook like this!
The crowd is ELATED as King Crab Mack delivers multiple hefty punches to Sicko’s stomach, and then bullrushes his shoulder into Sicko’s midsection. The current hardcore champ grabs his abs in pain as KCM lifts him off the hook and into position for a jumping backbreaker.
THE FULL POT!!!
1… … 2… … 3!!!
Rudy Mac: King Crab Mack is BACK ON TOP of the hardcore division!
DeShawn: All hail!
The referee straps the belt around KCM’s waist while the fans cheer and Psych Ward recollect themselves disappointedly. Dr. Dean tries to stay positive.
Dr. Dean: My dear Sicko, this is nothing but a setback! You will make Season 7 a true nightmare for everyone!
Winner and NEW Hardcore Champion:

The Season 6 finale continues and transitions backstage to a locker room where Fuse Makoto is taping his wrists. The sight of the young Japanese ace sends the show’s attendees into a WILD pop.
Standing next to Fuse Makoto is a well-dressed mature Japanese man with a serious face. He and Fuse say nothing to one another.
Then a courteous knock comes from the locker room door, which cracks open and the head of Parker Meloche peeks through. The fans give another cheer for the GPW showrunner.
Parker: Fuse, hey, I’m just checking in on you.
The former Pure Gold Champion looks up with a serious face and pauses wrapping his wrist.
Fuse: Thank you, Mr. Meloche. Thank you very much.
The young Canadian businessman fully enters the room and takes notice of the older, stylish Japanese man. He pleasantly introduces himself.
Parker: Ah, I’m Parker Meloche. I run things as much as one possibly can around here.
Daichi: I am pleased to meet you, Mr. Meloche. I am Daichi Tanaka, Aiko is my daughter.
The two men bow politely to each other.
Parker: Mr. Tanaka, it is an honor to meet you, and I am sorry it is under these circumstances.
Fuse goes back to wrapping his wrists while the GPW commissioner talks to Aiko’s father.
Parker: If there’s anyone who can defeat the Draconian in his own environment, it’s Fuse. Your daughter will be home by the end of show.
Daichi: Thank you, Mr. Meloche. I must ask, how have you been enjoying the Nissan sponsorship and our partnership?
The young Canadian businessman looks uncomfortable as Fuse looks up in surprise.
Parker: Ah, well, we’re proud to be in the Fuse Makoto business, and Nissan is a valuable brand to bring to Memphis.
The betrayal spreads across Fuse’s face.
Daichi: Let us stay in touch and we can talk about this at a more peaceful time.
Parker: Yes, yes, Mr. Tanaka. I actually just came down here to give our hero a tip.
The former Pure Gold Champion stared back at Parker with a steely gaze.
Fuse: Thank you, Mr. Meloche, but I must concentrate.
Parker: Well, uh, if you find a flat table on the bridge of the Draconian’s ship, stay very clear of it. There is a control next to it that will trigger some sort of forcefield… if you get stuck in it, it’s over for you and Aiko.
A silence permeates between the three men before Fuse constructs a thought.
Fuse: Thank you, Mr. Meloche. Please let me prepare.
The GPW showrunner tries to put on a polite face and nods to both Japanese men before leaving the room.

The event returns to the ring where fans murmur amongst themselves and the music of “Danger Zone” by Kenny Loggins begins to rock through the speaker system.
The two airline pilots strut confidently onto the entrance stage and down the ramp while the fans give a very lively cheer in support.
Rudy Mac: The pleasant surprise of Season 6, Your Captains are here to finish the job!
DeShawn: A turnaround in the ring and a turnaround with the fans!
Your Captains get into the ring, and both make their way to opposite turnbuckles, climb and flex out to the crowd. The subsequently do identical backflips into middle of the ring and meet for a high-five.
Capt. John watches as his partner climbs out onto the corner ring apron.
The music then switches to “Flying Red” by EOTO as the lights dim and blue lights strobe around the FedExForum.
Rudy Mac: Your Captains really still have a mountain to climb here. The Dominars have NEVER lost a tag team match including a couple dominant victories over Your Captains at Gold Strike 16 and Gold Strike 20!
The Dominars slowly walk out from backstage with the tag team titles strapped around their waists.
BOO!!!
They eventually reach the ring, and a production assistant takes their belts for safekeeping. Dominar Fyx climbs in to start the match against Capt. John.
DeShawn: Tag Team Title Match. Tag Team Title Match. Tag Team Title Match.
Rudy Mac: DeShawn, what are you doing!?
DeShawn: It just sounds funny if you say it enough times!
Rudy Mac: You wasted everyone’s time right there!
The bell rings and the match begins with Capt. John aggressively attacking Dominar Fyx despite the size difference. Capt. John hits Dominar Fyx with a tornado bulldog.
Rudy Mac: I see a lot of jump in Your Captains tonight!
1… 2… NO!!!
Both wrestlers get to their feet and Dominar Fyx manages to level Capt. John with a series of chest chops. Fyx then tags in Dominar Shaphre who he helps whip into the air and onto Capt. John.
DeShawn: An assisted senton!?
1… 2… … … NO!!!
Rudy Mac: That is SEASON SIX resiliency from Your Captains!
Capt. John escapes from Dominar Shaphre and tags in Capt. Derek. Capt. Derek pops off the ropes and lays out Dominar Shaphre with a flying clothesline.
The brash airline pilot climbs up to the top rope and leaps out to NAIL a senton bomb that DELIGHTS the fans.
CRASH LANDING!!!
1… … 2… … NO!!!
DeShawn: So close but not enough… as my girlfriends tell me every night!
Capt. Derek continues his dominance and throws Dominar Shaphre around. However, Dominar Shaphre suddenly turns things around with a spinning back kick that knocks Capt. Derek out of the ring. Dominar Shaphre cooly climbs up and perches upon the top rope with Capt. Derek out on the ringside floor.
Rudy Mac: This could get epic!
Dominar Shaphre turns away from Capt. Derek and then DAZZLES the crowd with a moonsault off the top rope onto Capt. Derek.
ORBITABLE BOMBARDMENT ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!
The high-flying Dominar gingerly stands up and pulls the weary Capt. Derek up. He rolls Capt. Derek back into the ring and tags in Dominar Fyx.
Rudy Mac: This is the part of the match where the Dominars just begin to grind their opponents into the ground.
Dominar Fyx grabs hold of Capt. Derek and delivers a sitout inverted front powerslam.
INTERDICTION!!!
DeShawn: Well, I guess that’s it.
Rudy Mac: And still GPW Tag Team Champions, the Dominars.
1… … 2… … … NO!!!
The Blood And Bling attendees ERUPT for the kickout.
Rudy Mac and DeShawn: NO WAY!!!
Dominar Fyx looks back at Dominar Shaphre as in emotionless surprise, and while his attention is turned, Capt. Derek crawls away and tags in Capt. John. The entrance of Capt. John prompts another big cheer.
The fresh Your Captain flies at Dominar Fyx and hits him with a spear. Dominar Fyx stumbles backward onto the mat, and Capt. John gets to the top rope to unleash his 360 frog splash.
THE RED EYE!!!
1… 2… … … NO!!!
Capt. John throws his head to the FedExForum ceiling in anguish, and the fans match his face with their collective awes.
DeShawn: They’re getting close… is not what I can about my girlfriends most nights!
Dominar Fyx takes back to the momentum and nails Capt. John with a knee buster. The impact sends a steady stream of blood out of Capt. John’s nose and onto the mat. Dominar Fyx then tags in Dominar Shaphre who places Capt. John into a modified camel clutch.
Blood streams from Capt. John’s nose and splatters against the mat as Dominar Shaphre wrenches his head back.
Rudy Mac: Let’s see what Capt. John has left in him!
The referee checks in to see if Capt. John yields.
TA… TA… TA… NO!!!
Capt. John is able to break free and deliver a mule kick to Dominar Shaphre’s face. Both wrestlers get to their corners and tag their teammates, which prompts Dominar Fyx and Capt. Derek into the ring. However, Capt. John and Dominar Shaphre don’t leave.
Rudy Mac: I think these teams are really ramping it up tonight!
The referee beckons for Capt. John and Dominar Shaphre to climb out, but it becomes chaotic. Capt. Derek whips Capt. John into Dominar Shaphre, which sends the smaller Dominar flying out of the ring.
DeShawn: Your Captains can smell it!
The two wrestlers lay out Dominar Fyx in the middle of the ring and head to the top rope in opposite corners.
Rudy Mac: It looks like the referee is going to allow this!
Your Captains leap out and deliver identical five-star frog splashes of Dominar Fyx’s entire body.
SEVERE TURBULENCE!!!
Capt. John rolls away while Capt. Derek hooks Dominar Fyx’s leg.
1… … 2… … … 3!!!
Rudy Mac: MY GOODNESS! YOUR CAPTAINS DID IT! THEY FINISHED THE JOB AND ARE ON TOP OF THE TAG TEAM DIVISION!
DeShawn: I’ve been down with this storyline all season long! What a payoff!
Rudy Mac: Don’t spell it out for the fans!
Blood And Bling’s attendees cheer wildly as the Golden Pro Wrestling Tag Team Championship belts are strapped around their waists. Your Captains’ faces are a mix of pride and amusement.
Both of the Dominars’ prone bodies dissipate into a blue light and dissolve out of the arena.

Behind the entrance curtain, Dr. Dean, Decade and the Orderlies wait patiently. Your Captains come around the heavy black drape backstage with their new tag team title belts, and they find several wrestlers ready to congratulate them.
Cory Stenson: Dudes, WHAT. A. SEASON!
Crosscheck Beck: You guys might be bozos, but that was SWEET!
Saga: I wish I had a moment like that.
Your Captains hand out high-fives and enjoy the moment of their success before walking off and saying something about “belts pair best with babes and beer.”
Dr. Dean keeps his attention to his patient, Decade, who awkwardly stands with the Silver Championship strapped around his waist. The leader of the Psych Ward carefully eyeballs the second-most important prize in Golden Pro Wrestling.
With a flair of arrogance, Dr. Dean comes around in front of Decade, who gives him a confused face back.
Dr. Dean: Mr. Decade, my boy. I hope you’re ready for a good ol’ fashion scrap! Haha! It’s me and you! Let’s keep it clean and may the best man win!
He gives Decade a slap on the shoulder and walks around behind his young patient. Once everyone clears out of area, Dr. Dean takes one last scan for onlookers before pulling two pill containers out of his medical coat.
One container very visibly says “Strenstrata” on the side, which Dr. Dean takes a pill from and swallows without water. He shakes his head side to side and flexes his now pronounced and bulging neck muscles.
The second container very visibly says “Drowse-Pronate,” and Dr. Dean takes of one if its pills and gives to it Orderly Summers.
As Orderly Caruso holds Decade’s head back and forces the mental patient’s mouth open, Orderly Summers jams the pill into the back of Decade’s throat causing him to choke and gag but ultimately swallow it. The fans inside FedExForum catch on to Dr. Dean’s ploy.
BOO!!!
Dr. Dean: Ahem! Time for tonight’s most anticipated match to begin! Orderlies, take our young Decade out first… yes, I know it’s customary for the champion to emerge second, but I would like to enjoy this opportunity! I am a former Silver Champion in my own right, so I deserve this dispensation!
The Orderlies nod and grab Decade by the shoulders before shoving him ahead of them and through the entrance stage curtain.
anchor
The show quickly switches back inside the main arena of FedExForum as “Novacain” by 10 Years hits the speaker system. The fans give a mixed reaction to the former good guy-turned mental patient who walks out with the Orderlies behind him.
Rudy Mac: Hogwash! I think Dr. Dean just gave Decade a sedative!
Decade can be seen stumbling and the Orderlies help keep him upright as they make their way down the ramp.
DeShawn: Who knows, Rudy! That could be legitimate medicine!
Rudy Mac: I think the fans know better! Dr. Dean could be architecting an unfair advantage here!
A production assistant takes the Silver Championship belt from Decade, and the Orderlies subsequently push Decade up the steps and through the ropes. Decade falls to one knee and then gets back up with a crazy-yet-sleepy eyes.
The music fades out and is replaced by “Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed.
BOO!!!
Dr. Dean emerges out onto the entrance stage and screams loudly into the air.
Rudy Mac: There is something VERY wrong with this version of Dr. Dean! He used to be mentally dangerous but now he has the muscle and intensity to back it up!
DeShawn: I think we should applaud his personal growth!
Dr. Dean climbs into the ring and appraises his patient. When the bell rings, he holds out his hand to present a handshake of sportsmanship.
Rudy Mac: I wouldn’t trust that handshake!
Indeed, Decade attempts to reciprocate but upon embrace Dr. Dean pulls Decade to him and LEVELS him with a clothesline.
BOO!!!
Dr. Dean continues to start the match with firm control and drops Decade with a northern lights suplex pin attempt.
1… 2… NO!!!
DeShawn: Decade kicking out is a good thing, right?… RIGHT!?
Rudy Mac: That’s for the viewers at home and the fans in the arena to decide!
The leader of the Psych Ward stomps away on Decade’s back, and the barely conscious current champion appears unable put up a defense. Dr. Dean lifts Decade cleanly up off the mat and delivers a tilt-a-whirl slam.
BOO!!!
DeShawn: This feels pretty one-sided!
Dr. Dean turns Decade onto his stomach grabs hold of his legs and straddles the mental patient while pulling back on his legs for a boston crab submission.
THE DIAGNOSIS!!!
The referee checks in on Decade whose eyes are barely open.
Rudy Mac: I don’t think Decade can tap out if he’s unconscious! And is that blood coming out of Decade’s mouth?
The fans can see that Decade now has bubbling blood beginning to foam at his lips.
Instead of asking for Decade if he plans to tap, the referee begins to lift his arm and check for consciousness.
DeShawn: It’s been while since we had a submission meant for tap outs causing an opponent to pass out!
Rudy Mac: DeShawn! It’s not the submission move; it’s the sedative Dr. Dean forced upon Decade before the match began.
DECADE’S ARM GOES UP ONCE BY THE REF
IT DROPS!
Rudy Mac: Come back to life, Decade!
DECADE’S ARM GOES UP A SECOND TIME BY THE REF
IT DROPS!
DeShawn: Sometimes that’s what I look like after Mad Dog!
DECADE’S ARM GOES UP A THIRD TIME BY THE REF
IT DROPS!!!
The referee calls for the bell while the fans share their opinion of Dr. Dean’s victory.
BOO!!!
Rudy Mac: It looks like the fans know that the fix is IN! No matter what Decade has done before, he’s no more than a tool… no more than a puppet… nor more than a VICTIM of Dr. Dean!
The leader of the Psych Ward stands proudly while the referee straps the Silver Championship belt around his waist. He grins while running his hands over the engraved metal. Obviously satisfied, Dr. Dean claps his hands to the Orderlies.
Dr. Dean: Chop chop, gentlemen. Carry our good friend, Decade, back to the van! We have much to celebrate! Huzzah! What a season!
The Psych Ward leaves the ring as a group while “Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed plays and the fans continue to boo.

The Season Six finale moves backstage to the interview area where reporter Vicky Cogliano and Bounce Squad are standing by Golden Ben Miller. The sight of the Golden Warhorse sends the show’s attendees into a MASSIVE POP.
After the cheering subsides, the venerable wrestling journalist asks her first question.
Vicky: Golden. Ben. Miller! We are now at the end of Season 6, and you have the opportunity to finally ascend to the status of Pure Gold Champion! Where is your mind at?
Golden Ben Miller smiles back at Vicky and replies.
GBM: Well, Vicky, I think the most apt word you used there was ‘finally’. It’s been a long and winding road since I let everyone down at Gold Rush. There was the issue with Shotcaller at Season 2, and we’ll get to that more in a moment, then Fort Knocks in Season 3 where just about anything could happen to anyone. After that? I got sidetracked by that idiot Awoke in Season 4, and good luck to Juan here in a few minutes. And Season 5? Well, we all know how that went.
Vicky: I don’t think the Golden Pro Wrestling universe can thank you enough for saving Flip Costa.
GBM: It wasn’t just me; it was all of the Golden Pros and EVERY SINGLE ONE of the fans who followed the journey and rooted us on!
The crowd gives a lively cheer for the recognition.
Vicky: I hate to ask again, but exactly where is your mind at for tonight’s Pure Gold Championship match?
GBM: So, where is my mind at? It’s right HERE. Right NOW! Everything that has come before has paved the way for me to have the opportunity I have in front of me, and I can’t be more appreciative to everyone who supported me… and besides my AMAZING fans…
Back inside the main arena of FedExForum, a chant breaks out.
G-B-M! G-B-M! G-B-M!
Golden Ben Miller pauses for a moment and smiles until the chant subsides.
GBM: Besides my amazing fans, I have to recognize the man who developed me. The man who encouraged me. The man who supported me no matter what happened. The man who made Golden Pro Wrestling possible… my grandfather, GOLDEN GLEN MILLER!
Possibly the BIGGEST pop of the night explodes in recognition of the Memphis wrestling legend.
GBM: His name truly isn’t mentioned enough around here. Just think about what he’s done! He was awarded the Silver Star in the Vietnam War. He put Memphis wrestling on the map under the legendary trainer, Kirby Mattison. He starred in massive pay-per-views and epic events across FOUR decades. He has given back endless amounts to Memphis’ most worthy causes. He BUILT everything our fans have watched the past six seasons… and perhaps the MOST important thing… he’s my grandfather and biggest fan. I owe EVERYTHING… WE owe everything to that legend.
Another impromptu chant kicks up, and the Golden Warhorse instinctively continues at the right moment.
G-G-M! G-G-M! G-G-M!
GBM: To answer your question, Vicky… my mind is on my grandfather and how much I CAN’T WAIT to bring him the Pure Gold Championship!
GPW’s reporter lets the fans cheer for a moment and continues her line of questions.
Vicky: Now that we have the why, the where, the what, the when… let’s talk about the who. Shotcaller… Walk us through your history with him.
Golden Ben Miller takes a minute to think carefully.
GBM: It all goes back to Season 2, right? Parker, for all of his admirable traits, does have a checkered past with decision making, and how he snared Shotcaller as his hidden weapon for ratings and ticket sales effectively ran me off track from what matters most. But what’s not all lost in this is that Shotcaller wasn’t completely innocent. He wouldn’t have been in the position to be blackmailed by Parker if he hadn’t kept committing crime in Memphis. He’s the reason people consider Memphis a dangerous city. Shotcaller WAS AND IS trying to drag us all down. Fortunately, I was able to teach him a one-on-one lesson at The Golden Moment.
The Blood And Bling attendees cheer at the nostalgia of Season Two’s finale.
GBM: And we’ve had some run-ins since then, such as Fort Knocks, but now we’re going toe-to-toe one more time… and this time, I’m going to knock this gang member OUT of the limelight and replace him with something Memphis can TRULY be proud of!
GPW’s reporter attempts to sign off as the fans express their excitement.
Vicky: Good luck tonight!
GBM: Whoa whoa whoa, Vicky. I think there’s one last thing I want to say… for those that don’t know, Golden Pro Wrestling’s long-time reporter has just been hired by the MEMPHIS TIMES!
Vicky blushes at the moment of recognition.
GBM: Vicky, you’ve been here since the inception of this great wrestling organization. And during that time, you DOVE into giving wrestlers a platform, you stood STRONG in the face of an incel stalker, you BROKE the Dr. Dean/Strenstrata story, and you BRAVELY beamed to the Draconian’s spaceship and interviewed him one-on-one. There’s no denying how far you’ve come and how much the GPW universe APPRECIATES YOU.
The crowd leans into the moment of appreciation.
VI-CKY! VI-CKY! VI-CKY!
Vicky: Oh, that means so much, Glen. It’s an honor to help tell the stories around here.
The Golden Warhorse turns to the camera and presents Vicky with his hand.
GBM: Vicky Cogliano, ladies and gentlemen!

The show returns inside the main arena of FedExForum as wrestling action continues.
Rudy Mac: This show has been BONKERS already! We have THREE new champions!
DeShawn: CH-CH-CHANGE!
The crowd’s attention turns to two ICE agents who walk out from backstage. A mixture of boos and cheers sounds off as the politically divided audience responds.
Rudy Mac: In an epic match of consequences, ICE is here to make sure that the law is enforced! If Ejercito de Juan wins, he can marry Awoke and legally keep his real family in the United States, and if he loses, then these ICE agents are going to take Juan’s family and send them back to Tijuana!
The ICE agents walk down the entrance ramp and meet up with a production assistant who hands them a control device. One of the ICE agents presses a button and everyone’s attention turns upward while a cage begins to be lowered. The fans can see that Ejercito de Juan’s family is inside the cage.
Rudy Mac: How awful! The fate of Juan’s lovely family members, Maria, Julia, Sofia, Pedro and Isabella, is LITERALLY hanging in the balance!
DeShawn: How’s THAT for symbolism!?
Once the cage gets to an appropriate height above the ring, the music of “Mucha lucha” by Chicos de Barrio starts to play, which prompts a loud cheer from the fans.
Ejercito de Juan comes running out from backstage, down the ramp and into the ring. He looks upward to his family who hold onto the bars and look down. Juan begins to desperately yell up at his family and emphatically gesturing to his heart.
Rudy Mac: I don’t think any wrestler in GPW history has been more motivated to win than EdJ is right now!
DeShawn: Maybe Saga?
Rudy Mac: Okay, maybe the losingest wrestling in GPW history who has yet to establish himself as a member of the iconic wrestling fam- DeShawn! Don’t get me off track, I was just doing a little hyperbole about this match’s circumstances!
The upbeat Mexican music is replaced by “Chained to the Rhythm” by Katy Perry. The San Francisco SJW named Awoke stomps out from backstage with a sign that reads “GPW = KKK” and the fans react reasonably.
BOO!!!
Rudy Mac: Awoke is just pure AWFUL!
DeShawn: Like any other person in his movement, he wants to support illegal immigrants, but when it comes time to step up and do it, he waffles and makes it all about himself!
Awoke gives a scowl to the ICE agents and climbs into the ring where Ejercito de Juan is waiting. The bell rings and the two wrestlers begin to circle, and Juan is obviously more up-tempo than the larger opponent.
Rudy Mac: It’s a tale of two sizes. Awoke is standing at 7’0” and 360 pounds… a good foot and a half TALLER and 185 pounds HEAVIER than EdJ!
The blue-haired oaf attempts to clobber Juan, but the small luchador sidesteps him and kicks Awoke’s left thigh, who steps gingerly away.
Everything repeats as Awoke fails to grab hold of Juan and instead receives a kick to the left thigh.
Rudy Mac: I sense a little strategy here!
After a third quick kick to Awoke’s leg, Ejercito de Juan runs and pops off the ropes and returns to mid-ring to deliver a flying jawbreaker.
1… 2… NO!!!
Awoke gets up and finally grabs hold of Juan and begins to ragdoll him around the ring. He punishes Juan by slamming his head repeatedly into the turnbuckle and then hitting him with a suplex mid-ring that shakes the mat.
1… 2… NO!!!
Rudy Mac: I don’t think a suplex will stop Ejercito de Juan’s indominable spirit!
The match rolls on and EdJ captures the advantage by delivering a couple more kicks to Awoke’s left thigh. As Awoke’s leg appears to buckle, Juan jumps up and HITS his signature jumping tornado DDT.
1… 2… … NO!!!
DeShawn: Reach in that bag of tricks, Juan! Your family is counting on you!
Momentum returns to Awoke after he drops a running Juan with a big boot. The San Francisco SJW then jumps and drops a massive leg across the luchador’s chest.
1… 2… NO!!!
Awoke yells at the ref for counting too slowly but then lifts Juan up above his head and DROPS him with a gorilla press drop.
Instead of going for the cover, Awoke picks up Ejercito de Juan and places him on his shoulders.
Rudy Mac: This could be Awoke’s finisher! That MAJOR samoan drop!
CANCELLED!!!
1… … 2… … … NO!!!
DeShawn: Keep going Juan!
Indeed, Ejercito de Juan pops back up and continues to attack Awoke’s left thigh with a series of kicks.
Rudy Mac: I can see a welt beginning to form!
Awoke stumbles around the ring and limps on his left leg which is now bruised, swollen and split open with blood. Sensing an opportunity, Ejercito de Juan scrambles to the top rope.
Rudy Mac: If there was ever a time for EdJ to hit his finisher, this is it!
The entire arena oohs and awes as Ejercito de Juan flies into the air and grabs hold of the bottom of the cage. His daughters place their hands on his hands while he looks up and says something.
Cameras around the arena being to flash at the sight of the luchador holding onto the dangling cage above the ring.
Awoke peers upward at the last second as Ejercito de Juan backflips off the bottom of the cage and delivers a SPECTACULAR moonsault huracurrana on the blue-haired oaf.
EL SUPREMO OFF THE CAGE!!!
1… … 2… … … 3!!!
Rudy Mac: Those three slaps of the hand are the sounds of FREEDOM!
Juan immediately gets to his feet and jumps out of the ring toward the ICE agents while the crowd ERUPTS in support.
Winner:
Ejercito de Juan via El Supremo off the cage

Ejercito runs toward the ICE agents at ringside who are caught off-guard when the small luchador double-clotheslines them over the barricade which the crowd responds excitedly to.
The luchador picks up the control device and begins to quickly press the lowering button repeatedly.
Rudy Mac: The cage holding the Juan family is coming down and Awoke has to MARRY Juan to keep this nice immigrant family in America!
As the cage begins to lower, Juan climbs back up in the ring while a groggy Awoke gets up to his feet. Juan takes a moment to rush toward Awoke and deliver a springboard Hurricanrana, and the fans delight in the extra punishment upon the San Francisco SJW.
DeShawn: Keep going, Juan!
The cage finally contacts the mat, and Juan rips open the cage door. His family comes streaming out and he bends down as his two twin daughters jump into his waiting arms.
Rudy Mac, DeShawn, Entire Arena: Awww!
Juan stands up and gives his wife a tender kiss through his mask. He then hugs his mother and his brother.
Suddenly the sounds of “E.I.” by Nelly hits the speaker system.
Rudy Mac: Commissioner Meloche is here to perform the ceremonies!
The young Canadian businessman walks out from backstage with a microphone and book in his hands. The GPW legal counsel, Malcom Marshall, walks behind him with a folder.
DeShawn: A nice, classy professional wrestling wedding! They couldn’t have picked a better venue!
Parker and the GPW lawyer get into the ring, and a chant goes up when the music fades out.
E-D-J! E-D-J! E-D-J!
The GPW showrunner emphatically gestures toward Juan and his family in recognition, and the chant dies out in anticipation of what’s to come.
Parker: Juan, I say this for everyone… YOU DID IT!
Another pop goes up and Awoke begins to wearily climb to his feet.
Parker: What I have here in my hands is the most sacred of binding devices of marriage, the bible.
A cheer from the more religious faction of the crowd spurs.
Parker: And what’s it in Mr. Marshall’s hands is the second most binding device, a contract! Now, Awoke, get your butt over here.
The crowd buzzes in anticipation while Awoke approaches Juan and Parker with a scowl. The GPW commissioner presents the bible to them as he speaks into the microphone
Parker: Ejercito de Juan, Awoke… by the online certification and powers invested in me through the American-Samoan School of Ministry, I now pronounce you married!
The arena ERUPTS as Awoke throws his hands up in frustration. Malcom Marshall opens the folder and presents a piece of paper and holds out a pen. Juan takes it from the lawyer and signs his name.
Rudy Mac: Our first GPW wedding, what a moment!
Juan then holds the pen out to Awoke, and the Awoke hesitates before taking it.
BOO!!!
Golden Pro Wrestling’s commissioner urges Awoke.
Parker: We had a deal, Awoke. If you lost, then you had to take Juan and his family on as if they’re your own!
The crowd continues to buzz angrily, and the blue-haired oaf continues to hesitate. EdJ decides it’s been enough waiting and jams the pen into Awoke’s hand and does a jumping spinning kick to Awoke’s back.
Awoke falls forward into the GPW lawyer, knocks the marriage contract out of his hand and hits the piece of paper with the tip of the pen on the way down.
The young Canadian businessman bends over and inspects the paper.
Parker: What I see is… a pen mark by Awoke! Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr. and Mr. Awoke-Juan!
The arena POPS, and EdJ welcomes an embrace from his entire family.
Rudy Mac: I’m getting a little misty-eyed, DeShawn!
DeShawn: I always cry at weddings!
The music of “Mucha lucha” by Chicos de Barrio begins to play as the season-long drama concludes with Awoke now the spouse and legal arraignment for Juan and his family to remain in America.
anchor
Once the wedding party and officiants return backstage, the lights dim and the Gold Screen turns to a slow-motion highlight of a pixelated finisher by Violence. Dramatic Rudy Mac calls can be heard through the underlying music.
“I’m sorry for the folks at home, but we cannot legally air that move. Nor may I describe it in words or writing. We apologize… but WOW!”
The promo shifts between highlights of the unviewable finishing move while a narrator begins to speak.
Narrator: The hurricane of destruction began to form well before Golden Pro Wrestling was born…
Another pixelated visual of Violence hitting the Blur Out plays and Rudy Mac’s voice returns.
“Someone call the friggin’ medics! Call the medics!”
The footage continues.
Narrator: And since then, GPW has been. IN. IT’S. PATH.
A montage of unviewable pixelations and hard rock music starts to roll as Rudy Mac’s voice echoes in the background.
“BLUR OUT! BLUR OUT! BLUR OUT!”
Narrator: And now the most feared finisher in Golden Pro Wrestling history is on the line…
The promo footage switches to Flip Costa flying through the air in a senton elbow drop, which sends the crowd into a MASSIVE pop.
Rudy Mac’s voice chimes in.
“Leave it to FLIP COSTA to give us a beautiful ending to that match!”
Narrator: The Blur Out vs. Flip Costa’s hair is… NOW!
The lights return and the signature intro song of “Midnight Voyage” by Ghostland Observatory starts to play which prompts MAJOR cheering from the fans.
DeShawn: Brace yourself, Rudy!
Rudy Mac: Don’t worry, I’m holding onto the table, DeShawn!
Flip Costa emerges, which sends a large cry of ecstasy across the entire arena.
Rudy Mac: Just look at those chestnut locks bouncing innocently over Flip’s chiseled neck and shoulders!
DeShawn: It’s like if the statue of David had better hair!
The Pensacola Pretty Boy smiles and waves to the crowd on his way down the ramp and performs a hop onto the apron and again over the ropes. He does a light jog in the ring to warm up.
Rudy Mac: He put his soul on the line with Draconium, and now it’s his HAIR!
DeShawn: What a brave hair-o!
Rudy Mac: Dad joke!
The music switches to the horribly hard sounds of “Halo” by Soil. Violence stomps out from backstage with middle fingers expectedly up in the air.
BOO!!!
Rudy Mac: That sick individual probably just wants to perform the Blur Out over and over again!
DeShawn: He’s a hammer and everything he sees is a nail!
Violence pretends to relish in the fans’ displeasure and climbs up the steps before getting into the ring with Flip Costa.
Rudy Mac: Also, shout out to just how prolific Jumpstart is. He’s 10-5 in singles matches!
DeShawn: Don’t forget about Violence! He’s 8-4 in singles plus a handicap match victory… AND a win over Flip Costa in their only one-on-one match!
Rudy Mac: You stole that from my notes, DeShawn!
The two wrestlers square up and the music fades out before the bell rings to start the match. Violence aggressively charges and attempts to level Flip, who quickly ducks under Violence’s arm and runs to bounce off the ropes.
When Flip returns to mid-ring he goes flying and hits a cross-body block.
1… NO!!!
Violence bench presses the smaller Flip Costa off him into the air and tumbling across the mat. Flip gets to a knee and makes as face as if thinking this will be difficult.
Rudy Mac: This is going to be a tough win… for either wrestler!
The Asshole From Alberta takes the advantage and throws Flip over his shoulders before delivering a forward falling slam.
1… 2… NO!!!
The next couple of minutes are back-and-forth, and Flip finally levels Violence with a flying knee strike.
Rudy Mac: Flip Costa is going to the top rope!
The fans cheer wildly as Flip leaps off the top rope and nails his senton elbow drop.
THE FLIP-OFF!!!
1… 2… … NO!!!
DeShawn: At least this means we get to watch Flip be shirtless a little longer!
The very first Pure Gold Champion fights his way back into the match and lifts Flip Costa into a ring-shaking spinebuster. The Asshole From Alberta can be heard snarling into the ring.
Violence: You’re not the only dickbag who can go airborne!
The Asshole From Alberta gets to the top rope, jumps and crushes Flip with a flying elbow drop.
1… … 2… … NO!!!
With a scream of anger, Violence waves a hand of dismissal to the ref and proceeds to lift Flip up into a gorilla press.
Rudy Mac: Who knows where this is going from here!
Violence heaves Flip from above his head down onto the ringside floor and then follows him through the ropes. The referee begins the count-out process.
1…
The Asshole From Alberta picks up the Pensacola Pretty Boy onto his shoulders forcing the transmission to pixelate.
THE BLUR OUT ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR!!!
Rudy Mac: That move has GOT TO GO!
2…
Violence stands above Flip and laughs and then proceeds to begin stomping on his head.
3…
The referee shouts down to Violence to get back in the ring but Violence just presents his middle finger in response.
4…
Violence goes to lift Flip up onto his shoulders again, but this time Flip surprises Violence by wrapping his legs around his neck, rotating backwards and pulling Violence’s head directly into the barricade.
Rudy Mac: Stunning huracurrana by Flip!
5…
Flip climbs to the top rope and looks down at Violence below him.
6…
Then the Pensacola Pretty Boy jumps forward into the air to hit his own out-of-the-ring finisher.
THE FLIP-OFF ONTO THE RINGSIDE FLOOR
DeShawn: Give me more of THAT!
7…
The fans begin to chant while both wrestlers get to their feet.
G-P-W! G-P-W! G-P-W!
Once back on their feet, Violence and Flip trade punches back-and-forth.
8…
Rudy Mac: I think the referee is getting tired of waiting!
9…
At the last moment before the double count out, Violence throws Flip under the ropes and climbs into the ring himself.
Rudy Mac: Game on!
Violence and Flip continue to go to war back inside the ring with Flip getting the upper hand. He sweeps Violence’s legs out from under him and hustles to the top rope.
DeShawn: I think I WILL get more of that!
Flip leaps out for the third Flip-Off of the match.
THE FLIP-OFF-NO!!!
At the last moment, Violent pops up and catches Flip on his shoulders and the transmission becomes unviewable.
THE BLUR OUT!!!
Rudy Mac: There’s no denying Violence when he’s putting on a show!
Instead of going for the pin, Violence lifts Flip straight onto his shoulders once more. The transmission doesn’t even bother to refocus between finishers.
THE BLUR OUT!!!
Still, the video footage remains pixelated as Violence places Flip on his shoulders a third time.
THE BLUR OUT!!!
DeShawn: A hat trick of Blur Outs!
BOO!!!
The show comes back into focus as Violence holds his belly and laughs while the fans jeer him, and then he subsequently goes for the cover.
1… … 2… … … 3!!!
The Asshole From Alberta pops up onto his feet stumbling around the ring and laughing to himself.
Rudy Mac: Say it ain’t so, but it looks like Flip’s hair is done for!
Winner:
Violence via The Blur Out 3X

Violence leans down to the ringside floor and demands a production assistant hand him the prepared pair of hair clippers. A nervous PA obliges and holds them out, and Violence snatches them out of their hand so hard the GPW employee rubs their shoulder in pain.
Rudy Mac: Violence will hurt just about anyone!
The Asshole From Alberta walks back to the unconscious face-down Flip Costa and climbs on top of his back.
DeShawn: I can’t watch!
Violence turns on the clippers and the crowd screams in horror as he aggressively shaves off Flip’s hair.
Rudy Mac: If anything should be pixelated, IT IS THIS!
After a minute of Violence violating Flip’s most sacred possession, he stands up satisfied with the job.
Everywhere around Flip’s body are long chunks of his once-regal chestnut mane, some with bloody roots still attached.
Rudy Mac: This might be the WORST moment of my life!
Violence tosses the clippers out of the ring and walks around holding two middle fingers up to the crowd.
BOO!!!
Behind Violence, Flip Costa begins to stir, and everyone watches with bated breath while the Pensacola Pretty Boy gets up to a kneeling position while still looking down.
The Asshole From Alberta jeers Flip.
Violence: Go ahead and show the people the literal dickhead that you are now!
Flip slowly and dramatically lifts his head up and the crowd sees him with a shaved head for the very first time.
The entire arena ERUPTS in elation.
Rudy Mac: HE’S BEAUTIFUL! HE’S BEAUTIFUL! HE’S BEAUTIFUL!
DeShawn: HE’S EVEN BETTER LOOKING WITHOUT HAIR!
Violence becomes incensed as the crowd screams platitudes to the Pensacola Pretty Boy. Flip takes a moment to let the adulation sink in and then climbs to a top rope to gaze out at the fans.
Rudy Mac: Those amazing looks can endure ANYTHING!
DeShawn: It’s like a sunrise, a sunset and a rainbow had a threesome and produced a baby!
The Asshole From Alberta finally snaps and climbs out of the ring with a huff. The fans along the entrance ramp laugh and taunt the visibly annoyed Violence.
Meanwhile the rest of the 19,000 attendees continue to bask in warmth of Fuse’s hairless head. Medics attend fans around the arena who have passed out, but otherwise everyone is able to enjoy the utter tranquility of Flip Costa’s looks until he leaves the ring smiling and returns backstage.

Blood And Bling returns backstage to the locker room where Fuse Makoto has finished preparing for his duel.
Realizing the enormity of what’s in front of them, the fans let loose a POP of excitement at the prospect for Fuse Makoto vs. The Draconian.
His father-in-law Daichi Tanaka stands by unimpressed, and a brave referee nervously sweats for the contest that is about to transpire.
Daichi: Do you even know what you’re going to do up there?
Fuse: I only know that Aiko is in a protective stasis pod. Once I’m there, I’ll figure out what it takes to free her and return your daughter.
An uncomfortable silence hangs between the two Japanese men.
At that moment, a blue light emanates and envelopes both Fuse, the referee and videographer holding the camera, and Daichi can only take a step back in awe.
Fans back inside the main arena of FedExForum follow along on the Gold Screen as the transmission refocuses somewhere deep inside the Draconian’s spaceship.
Rudy Mac: Now THIS is something we don’t see every day! An Orbital Rescue Match in a spaceship!
DeShawn: I don’t remember Fuse coming up to save me!
Rudy Mac: Are you talking about when you disappeared at the end of Gold Strike 3!?
DeShawn: I’m afraid to confirm that!
Fuse finds himself in a large dark room where cobalt blue light outlines the metal panels of the walls, and a steady hum of the ship’s engines lingers in the air.
Stacked next to the walls are rows of containers. He looks around and sees a line of tubes with glass windows, and inside most of them are various people representing different cultures around the world. The captured humans look asleep at peace.
Rudy Mac: Well, DeShawn, it looks like you and Aiko aren’t the only person who has been taken to the spaceship!
The young Japanese ace walks over and notices that one stasis pod is missing from the line. He peers from side-to-side, and a voice begins to speak all around the room.
The Draconian: Fuse Mah-koto, you are now aboard my ship.
The referee looks at Fuse and shakes his head in disbelief but the two can only listen on.
The Draconian: You are in my cargo bay with hu-mahn specimens I am returning to Draconia. The stasis pod that contains your wife is with me… on my bridge. Find me, pin me and open the stasis pod to free her… if you can. However, if you are pinned first, she remains with me until my queen can decide her fate.
Fuse stands by for a moment longer but concludes that’s the end of the Draconian’s instruction.
Rudy Mac: The challenge is laid out! Fuse needs to get moving if he wants to save Aiko!
DeShawn: If there’s one place I wouldn’t go freely, it’s the Draconian’s bridge!
Inside the dimly lit cargo room, Fuse finds the door and presses a control button on the wall. The door slides open slowly to reveal Dominar Shaphre on the other side of it.
Rudy Mac: It looks like Fuse has to go through the Dominars to even get to the bridge!
Dominar Shaphre delivers a chop to Fuse’s throat which sends the Japanese ace backwards into the cargo room. The smaller of the two Dominars follows Fuse and nails him with a spinning back kick.
Fuse holds his stomach for a moment and then catches Dominar Shaphre’s foot during another kick and flips the lean alien over onto his back.
Rudy Mac: There’s a lot of nimbleness up in space right now!
The former Pure Gold Champion jumps up and lands a punch down onto Dominar Shaphre’s face. He delivers two more strikes before picking Shaphre and tossing him away.
Shaphre lands on his feet, turns back and runs forward to SLICE Fuse’s midsection with a spear against the cargo room wall. Fuse yells out in agony.
DeShawn: In space nobody can hear you scream!
Fuse keeps fighting back and is able to kick Dominar Shaphre into the middle of the room. With a running start, Fuse levels Shaphre with a flying clothesline and then climbs on top of a stasis pod containing an aboriginal tribesman.
Dominar Shaphre looks up and see Fuse flying down to deliver an elbow drop.
Rudy Mac: Elbow drop off the stasis pod!
DeShawn: I hope the tribesman didn’t mind!
Rudy Mac: I doubt he noticed!
The two wrestlers get up, and Shaphre takes control by whipping Fuse backward against a stasis pod, which cracks the glass. Behind the glass a Vietnamese farmer stays motionless with his eyes closed.
DeShawn: This match is amazing PHO SHO!
Fuse holds his back and falls down, and Dominar Shaphre continues to press the assault by getting on top of another stasis pod. He leaps out into a moonsault.
ORBITAL BOMBARDMENT OFF A STASIS POD-NO!!!
At the last moment, Fuse karate jumps onto both feet, jumps and twists in the air.
Rudy Mac: Another pure tornado kick!
NIKUYA STRIKE PRESENTED BY NISSAN!!!
Dominar Shaphre falls onto his back and rolls in stoic agony. Fuse, sensing he can move on, attempts to go to the door while the referee follows.
As Fuse reaches the doorway, he is stunned by an elbow back to the head.
DeShawn: It doesn’t look like Dominar Shaphre is done yet!
Fuse shakes the attack off and hip throws the Dominar onto the floor. In the darkness, Fuse finds an empty stasis pod and slams his hand against the control panel, which forces the glass window to slowly pop off and release pressurized air from inside.
Dominar Shaphre gets back to his feet, but is quickly grabbed by Fuse, who then whips the Dominar into the stasis pod.
Rudy Mac: Fuse can adapt to any scenario!
Shaphre attempts to climb out of the stasis pod but is met with another spinning tornado kick.
NIKUYA STRIKE PRESENTED BY NISSAN INTO THE STASIS POD!!!
Fuse slams his hand against the control panel again while Dominar Shaphre drowsily pushes against the closing window. Behind the glass, a vapor can be seen pumping into the stasis pod, and Dominar Shaphre closes his dark eyes and passes out.
Rudy Mac: Dominar Shaphre is OUT OF THE WAY!
After taking a moment to catch his breath, Fuse leaves the cargo room, and the referee and cameraman follow him as he searches the ship.
DeShawn: Who knows what’s next!?
Fuse walks down the hallway to another door and presses the control panel on the wall. It opens into another similarly large dark room and disturbingly hanging from the ceiling are four long chains with enormous shackles at each end.
On the floor are piles of bones, and ungodly piles of dried excrement. The referee emphatically covers his nose from the stench.
Rudy Mac: That might be where Draconium kept Ja’vek The Dauntless during the voyage from Draconia!
Deciding the room is empty and of no value, Fuse goes to leave but instead finds Dominar Fyx waiting for him in the hallway.
The larger of the two Dominars beckons Fuse to come forth, which the young Japanese ace obliges.
Inside the hallway, the referee stays vigilant while the competitors begin combat. Fuse is able to block the first couple of punches, and counters them with a bicycle kick that knocks Dominar Fyx backward. Fuse then kicks a control panel to open a third door.
DeShawn: Oh no, another room of cosmic horror!
Fyx collects himself and grabs hold of Fuse’s wrist and then whips him into the mysterious third room. Fuse starts to get to his feet and looks around.
In the middle of the room is a large flat metal surface with the remains of a mutilated cow.
Rudy Mac: Hey, our livestock! What the heck!?
Along the walls are glass containers filled with a variety of exotic creatures, some native to Earth while others appear unfamiliar.
Dominar Fyx grabs hold of Fuse’s head and begins to slam the young Japanese ace’s face into the cow carcass. The referee winces as Fuse’s face is rubbed into the putrid, rotting cow flesh.
DeShawn: I don’t recommend a burger to anyone after this!
Fuse reaches back and snaps a hand chop into Dominar Fyx’s neck, which forces the large alien to stumble backward in surprise. He bumps into a couple of terrariums with odd looking creatures and then scowls at Fuse.
With a silent, determined rush, Dominar Fyx attempts to deliver a running dropkick, but Fuse sidesteps it. Dominar Fyx’s feet nail an aquarium and a collection of bizarre aquatic life spills onto the floor with purple water.
Rudy Mac: I may not recommend seafood either!
Fuse stands patiently and catches his breath while Dominar Fyx gets to his feet. As Fyx begins to stand, he grabs one of the odd aquatic creatures, a long slender bright blue fish with tentacles and throws it into Fuse’s face.
The former Pure Gold Champion stumbles backward frantically fighting to get the creature off his face. Dominar Fyx grins to himself as he watches Fuse struggle.
DeShawn: I know Flip crafts sushi, so maybe can make a roll out of that!?
Fuse is able to rip the creature off of his face and throws it to the ground, and the referee is forced to hop to keep it grabbing hold of his legs.
The two wrestlers, Dominar Fyx and Fuse Makoto, square up and begin hand-to-hand combat again. Fuse attempts his spinning tornado kick, but Dominar Fyx blocks it and lifts Fuse into a sitout inverted front powerslam right on top of the aquatic creature Fuse was attacked by.
INTERDICTION ONTO AN ALIEN CREATURE!!!
Rudy Mac: Dominar Fyx’s finisher is applicable anywhere! ON Earth or OFF it!
Dominar Fyx gets up and Fuse rolls off the now limp, tentacled fish. When Dominar picks Fuse up for a repeat of his finisher, Fuse rolls off and tees up a surprise spinning tornado kick, which sends Dominar Fyx flying and crashing into multiple glass terrariums.
NIKUYA STRIKE PRESENTED BY NISSAN!!!
Glass shatters and several creatures begin to crawl out of the terrariums and onto Dominar Fyx. Fuse and the referee watch as one particularly nasty creature, an apparent alien rodent with long claws and protruding teeth slashes and bites Dominar Fyx’s face.
Rudy Mac: I hope they have first aid kits in outer space!
Blue blood oozes out of Dominar Fyx’s wounds and splatters along the floor while he fights off the creature. The struggle between the alien rodent and Dominar Fyx knocks other glass terrariums off the shelves, and more threatening animals skitter onto the floor and toward their keeper.
DeShawn: This is why I don’t like pets!
Fuse quickly runs out of the room with the referee and looks behind them where Dominar Fyx attempts to fight off multiple alien animals. Fuse slams the control panel with his hand to shut the door and then does a front kick to smash the control panel completely and prevent Fyx from escaping.
Rudy Mac: Two Dominars down! Now Fuse just needs to get to the spaceship’s bridge!
Fuse bends over and breathes heavily while the referee uses his hand to prop himself up against the wall.
DeShawn: I did hear that battling aliens in outer space is good cardio.
Once he collects himself, Fuse explores further down the hallway until he reaches one final door. The former Pure Gold Champion pauses for a moment and then taps the control panel on the wall to open it which prompts the door to smoothly slide open.
The young Japanese ace peers in and cautiously evaluates the scene.
He can see computer control panels with foreign symbols placed around the walls of the room, and a chair that invokes an air of command set up in the middle of the room with a large visual display on the wall in front of it.
Rudy Mac: I think we just found the bridge of the Draconian’s spaceship!
Next to the chair is a large, flat metal table.
DeShawn: That’s it! That’s what Commissioner Meloche was talking about! If Fuse gets stuck on that table, the forcefield kicks in and THIS IS OVER!
On the far side of the room Fuse sees a large window with the white, blue, green and brown planet Earth spinning peacefully in the background. In front of the window stands the Draconian with a stasis pod propped up next to it.
Rudy Mac: This is it! The Draconian has been waiting for Fuse all along!
Fuse steps forward into the room, and the Draconian walks across the spaceship’s bridge to meet him. The two men take guarded poses across from one another and the final showdown begins.
Just as fast as Fuse is able to attempt each strike, the Draconian behemoth is somehow quick enough to block them. The large alien grabs hold of Fuse’s wrist and wrenches upon it, which forces Fuse to a kneeling position in front of the Draconian.
DeShawn: Exactly NOT the place to be in a truck stop bathroom!
The Draconian delivers an open palm strike to Fuse’s forehead, which sends him SLAMMING onto his back. Nearby, Aiko lays peacefully in a stasis pod.
The referee watches and the Draconian picks up Fuse with one hand, wrangles him high in the air and throws him down for chokeslam that produces a SICKENING thud.
1… … 2… … NO!!!
Rudy Mac: Fuse is running on fumes but is STILL able to kick out!
The Draconian drags Fuse up to his feet and lifts him by the neck, choking the young Japanese ace while his feet dangle in the air.
DeShawn: A lack of air is a bad thing!
Rudy Mac: Thanks, Dr. DeShawn!
Fuse grabs hold of the Draconian’s wrist and uses it as leverage to knee him in the gut, which surprises the Draconian and forces him to drop his opponent.
Once both feet are back on the ground, Fuse jumps and twists into a spinning tornado kick.
NIKUYA STRIKE PRESENTED BY NISSAN!!!
The Draconian falls backward over his command chair and onto the spaceship’s bridge floor.
1… … 2… … … NO!!!
Rudy Mac: I thought for sure that was it!
Fuse helps himself up by climbing the command chair, and the Draconian rises silently behind him. When Fuse turns around, he’s clobbered by a clothesline by the Draconian, and then the interstellar general grabs hold of Fuse and lifts him into a gutwrench powerbomb position.
ABDUCTION!!!
DeShawn: Aw, say goodbye to Aiko!
1… … 2… … … NO!!!
The two competitors climb to their feet once more, and the Draconian stalks Fuse as the former Pure Gold Champion backs up toward the window where Earth can be seen.
The cameraman then captures the most important video-graphical moment of his career as the Draconian and Fuse go back and forth with Earth spinning in the background.
Rudy Mac: Ladies and gentlemen, take a picture of this and hold it in your minds for the rest of your lives!
Fuse finally delivers two chops to the Draconian’s chest and then slams the pale alien’s head off of Aiko’s stasis pod control panel. Both watch as the glass window of the pod opens and the change in air pressure produces a hiss.
DeShawn: The pod is open!
The Draconian grabs hold of Fuse and THROWS him back to the center of the spaceship’s bridge right near the flat metal table.
Back inside the stasis pod, Aiko begins to come to consciousness and pushes the glass window fully open. As she rubs her eyes, she takes stock of the action in front of her.
Rudy Mac: Imagine waking up to one of the most bizarre moments in professional wrestling history!
The Draconian attempts to flip Fuse onto the metal table, but Fuse slips away. The interstellar general turns around and is met with a picture-perfect spinning tornado kick to the face.
NIKUYA STRIKE PRESENTED BY NISSAN!!!
Fuse watches as the Draconian topples onto the table and then Fuse quickly SLAMS a nearby control panel with a last measure of effort. An audible sound of energy emanates from the table, and the Draconian struggles against an invisible forcefield.
DeShawn: That’s the trick, Fuse!
From her stasis pod, Aiko watches as Fuse collapses next to the table, but with his final shred of energy, Fuse pulls himself up next to the metal table and places a hand on the Draconian’s shoulder.
The Draconian uncomfortably struggles in place but is unable to move, and the referee starts slapping a metal wall next to the table.
1… … … 2… … … 3!!!
Rudy Mac: UNBELIEVABLE! FUSE MAKOTO JUST DEFEATED THE DRACONIAN ON HIS OWN SPACESHIP!
DeShawn: We’re not worthy of Fuse Makoto!
Aiko carefully climbs out of the stasis pod and rushes over to Fuse, who has collapsed on the floor out of exhaustion. Both Aiko and the referee help Fuse to his feet while in obvious shock of what they just witnessed.
Winner:

Once brought back to his feet, the young Japanese ace looks down at the Draconian.
Fuse: Now, alien beast, I will release you from this forcefield, and you will return us to FedExForum.
The Draconian’s returns a steel gaze and then nods in agreement.
Fuse backs up Aiko and the referee behind him before carefully touching the control panel. The audible energy field that held the Draconian in place dissipates, and only the low hum of the spaceship’s engines can be heard.
Fuse: Up! You alien beast, up!
The Draconian sits forward and rotates so that his large legs hang off the table. With a push, he comes to standing fully erect in front of Fuse. The former Pure Gold Champion spits blood as he yells at this defeated opponent.
Fuse: Return us! Show Earth the honor of your word!
The interstellar general looks down at Fuse before speaking.
The Draconian: Impressive…
With a subtle touch of a control panel, Fuse Makoto, Aiko, the referee and the cameraman are enshrouded by a blue light.
Back inside the main arena of FedExForum, the fans ERUPT when they see the Gold Screen switch back to Fuse’s locker room.
Aiko’s father, the mysterious businessman Daichi Tanaka, stands by stoically. He watches as everyone rematerializes in front of him. Fuse’s wife immediately embraces him in a genuine way that had not been seen before.
Now back under normal lighting, the full extent of Fuse’s injuries can be seen before he drops to his knees. Blood drips out of his lips, nostrils and ears, his eyes are bruised and swollen, and his rib cage looks raw from abuse.
The elder Daichi Tanaka stands forward and holds his daughter’s hand.
Daichi: Oh, my sweet Aiko. I am so happy you’re alright.
Aiko: Thank you, daddy. Please, we need to get Fuse help!
Fuse’s father-in-law kneels down and puts his hand on Fuse’s shoulder.
Daichi: Fuse, what you did was… remarkable. Truly remarkable… I see what the world sees.
The former Pure Gold Champion continues to look down at the locker room floor on all fours and then begins to cough up blood while trying to stammer through a response.
Fuse: Aiko… safe…
The young Japanese ace collapses onto the cold tile and Aiko screams with concern while being unable to wake Fuse. Daichi yells at the referee to find a medic immediately.

The epic season finale, Blood And Bling, switches back inside the main arena of FedExForum where the last match of the season is about to take place.
Rudy Mac: If we had all night, I would spend it breaking down why what we just witnessed was the most awe-inspiring performance in GPW history!
DeShawn: Fuse Makoto vs. The Draconian was worthy of a Klingon drinking song!
Rudy Mac: Qapla’! But regardless, we’re going to be swapping out one iconic moment for another… I’m talking about the final match of Season Six… the PURE GOLD CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH!
DeShawn: Put some butter on this roll, Rudy!
Rudy Mac: Since the beginning of Season Six, two wrestlers have been on a COLLISION PATH! Golden Ben Miller set out this season with ONE goal, the Pure Gold Championship! On the other side was a man of the streets who decided to put his stamp on Golden Pro Wrestling once-and-for-all with a season that would define himself.
DeShawn: And now it’s down to a…
Rudy Mac: A FIRST BLOOD MATCH! The first person to cause the other to bleed IS THE CHAMP!
The anxious buzzing of the fans turns into an ALL-OUT ERUPTION when the beloved drumline of “My Hero” by Foo Fighters begins to play.
DeShawn: This guy puts the ‘Golden’ in Golden Pro Wrestling!
Golden Ben Miller walks out from backstage with a face that says all the funny business is over. He stops at the top of the entrance ramp and raises an arm out to the fans in recognition.
Rudy Mac: A man OF the people, BY the people, and FOR the people of Memphis!
“My Hero” continues to jam, and GBM takes his time coming down the entrance stage ramp. He slowly climbs up the stairs and through the ropes and walks around taking in the enormity of this moment.
DeShawn: Soak it in, Ben!
GBM gets up to the second rope of each turnbuckle to hold up his arm again.
The large 6’6” wrestler takes his position in the middle of the ring and looks upward to the entrance stage, and production crew obliges the transition to the intro beat of “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” by 2Pac. However, the vocals are being performed live by the voice of local rapper Moneybagg Yo.
I WON’T DENY IT, I’M A STRAIGHT RIDAH…
Rudy Mac: And now the CHAMP is here!
BOO!!!
Shotcaller walks out onto the entrance stage with the Pure Gold Championship slung over his shoulder and rapper Moneybagg Yo behind him.
Behind him is a steady procession of his entourage Da Bloodz members Wazzup and Choo Choo, several other Bloods gang members, and then a large group of young women wearing provocative clothing.
DeShawn: Baddies! Baddies!
Rudy Mac: I think that’s the least important thing right now, DeShawn!
The large group makes their way down the entrance stage and then pauses ringside. A production assistant accepts the Pure Gold Championship belt from Shotcaller, and then the gang leader of the 85 Piru set takes a moment to give daps to Wazzup, Choo Choo and Moneybagg Yo.
Rudy Mac: Shotcaller entered GPW as a lone wolf far away from his hunting grounds, but now he has a whole WOLF PACK ready to ride with him!
DeShawn: It’s that sort of entrepreneurial spirit that lifts us all up and improves our city!
Rudy Mac: DeShawn! Have you learned nothing?! Shotcaller is part of the ongoing crime epidemic that plagues our good city!
Shotcaller gets into the ring and walks around confidently, purposefully ignoring GBM who stands in the middle of the ring.
Rudy Mac: The rules of a First Blood Match are fairly straightforward. You bleed; you lose! However it happens doesn’t matter! Both wrestlers are essentially allowed to go where they want in AND out of the ring, use WHATEVER it takes, and give each other the business until we see some CRIMSON flow!
The fans sit on the edges of their seats in anticipation of the main event, and the bell ring which prompts a MAJOR cheer for the biggest action of the entire season.
Rudy Mac: Two men! Two roads! One destination. ONE PURE GOLD CHAMPIONSHIP is on the line!
Golden Ben Miller and Shotcaller kick things off by tying up in the middle of the ring, and they push each other back and forth to opposite corners. Golden Ben Miller pins Shotcaller against the turnbuckle and starts delivering multiple elbows to Shotcaller’s head.
Rudy Mac: The elbow is the PERFECT weapon for its pointy end’s ability to compound the skin against the skull!
The current Pure Gold Champion holds his forehead for a moment and then drops his head, which the referee quickly inspects.
NO BLOOD!!!
Shotcaller fights him off and pushes GBM out to mid-ring and then pops him with a dropkick. When GBM gets to his feet, he is CRUSHED with a spear to mid-section.
DeShawn: Inspect Ben’s abs for blood!
The referee looks over Ben’s mid-section.
NO BLOOD!!!
Rudy Mac: I don’t think that ending would have been very plausible!
Golden Ben Miller gets to his feet again and sees Shotcaller ripping a turnbuckle pad off.
Rudy Mac: Shotcaller just exposed the metal rope connecter! That thing DEFINITELY has sharp metal edges!
Shotcaller drags GBM over to the corner and BOUNCES his head off the exposed turnbuckle but is countered on the second attempt and the fans cheer when GBM returns the favor.
DeShawn: Get in there, ref! Is there any blood!?
Indeed, the referee quickly breaks them up and looks at both of their foreheads.
NO BLOOD!!!
Satisfied there isn’t any blood, he gestures them both to continue.
The action keeps going with the two returning to mid-ring for straightforward wrestling. A series of reversals ends with Shotcaller flipping GBM onto his back shoulders with a german suplex.
Rudy Mac: Nice move, but it doesn’t get us any closer to BLOOD!
The two wrestlers get to their feet and continue to engage, and Golden Ben Miller throws Shotcaller to the ropes. When the LA Bloods gang leader returns to mid-ring, he’s met with a BIG BOOT to the face.
Shotcaller rolls onto all fours with a hand on his nose.
DeShawn: A broken nose will do it!
The referee bends down and checks Shotcaller’s face.
NO BLOOD!!!
Rudy Mac: We roll on!
Golden Ben Miller picks up Shotcaller and turns his opponent around, lifts him up and drops him directly onto his extended knee.
Rudy Mac: Old school Atomic Drop!
Continuing his momentum, the Golden Warhorse turns Shotcaller over and delivers a POWERFUL scoop slam. With Shotcaller laid out in mid-ring, GBM rips off his kneepad and throws it out to the fans.
DeShawn: Someone change my underwear if this is how it ends!
GBM runs to one rope, bounces off and flies over Shotcaller’s body to the other ropes. When he returns to mid-ring he JUMPS in mid-air to deliver his iconic knee to the head.
THE GOLDEN KNEE!!!
Rudy Mac: That move could do it!
The fans go ballistic for GBM’s finisher, and the Golden Warhorse gets up to his feet while the referee carefully examines Shotcaller.
NO BLOOD!!!
Despite being on the receiving end of multiple moves, Shotcaller battles back and steals the momentum. He delivers a couple of closed-fist punches and then lays out GBM with a DDT.
DeShawn: This is the kind of stuff that softens up that forehead tissue!
Shotcaller runs over to the ropes, climbs to the top turnbuckle and BACKFLIPS to deliver an elbow drop.
Rudy Mac: An elbow drop straight to some softened-up tissue!?
The current Pure Gold Champion stands by and lets the referee look at GBM’s forehead.
NO BLOOD!!!
Shotcaller snarls in frustration and picks GBM up from the mat before pulling him over to the ropes and TOSSING the larger wrestler out of the ring.
Rudy Mac: We’re getting into some ringside action!
Golden Ben Miller groggily tries to get to his feet at ringside while fans shout words of encouragement over the barricade.
DeShawn: You’ve got the people on your side, Ben!
Shotcaller hops down and pulls a chair out from under the ring and lifts it up above his head. When Ben turns around, he’s met with a full-on chair attack.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Rudy Mac: Just a SINGLE chair shot is a quick ride to BLOODVILLE!
The referee hops in and looks at the dazed head of Golden Ben Miller.
NO BLOOD!!!
The ringside action continues as Shotcaller whips GBM toward the barricade, but at the last moment GBM reverses and Shotcaller ends up cracking his ribs on the metal barrier.
Wazzup and Choo Choo approach from behind.
BOO!!!
Golden Ben Miller turns to face them, but Shotcaller surprisingly walks around GBM and holds his palms out to his gang members.
Shotcaller: Dis iz my kill to make, homies!
Da Bloodz nod with respect to their leader.
DeShawn: No shenanigans tonight apparently!
The baddies in the background continue to bop along with Moneybagg Yo and the other Shotcaller gang members.
Golden Ben Miller and Shotcaller turn back to each other and go back to war. GBM gets the upper hand and DRILLS Shotcaller with a jumping axhandle that dazes the current Pure Gold Champion.
The Golden Warhorse picks up the chair and swings it at Shotcaller.
CRACK!
Shotcaller lands on his back holding his head, and the referee forces him to move his hand so he can inspect.
NO BLOOD!!!
GBM bends down and searches under the ring until he pulls out a ladder, which the crowd responds to enthusiastically. When Shotcaller attempts to get to his feet, Golden Ben Miller rushes and RAMS the end of the ladder into his face.
Rudy Mac: Time for a quick blood check!
NO BLOOD!!!
Golden Ben Miller props the ladder up and begins to climb it. Shotcaller stirs to his feet and pushes the ladder over which sends GBM flying through the air head-first into the steel ring steps.
The groggy Golden Warhorse rolls onto his back, and the referee takes a crimson scan.
NO BLOOD!!!
DeShawn: I’ve never seen such epidural strength!
With GBM still laid out, Shotcaller reaches under the ring and pulls out a brown bag.
Rudy Mac: This looks new!
Shotcaller opens it and turns it over and hundreds of tacks fall and spread out across the ringside floor.
DeShawn: I’m NOT liking THIS!
Rudy Mac: But I bet the fans do! The million sharp points on the floor are SURE to pierce some skin!
Shotcaller picks up GBM from the floor and lifts him into a powerbomb position above the tacks.
Rudy Mac: THIS COULD BE IT!
Before Shotcaller can deliver the powerbomb, Golden Ben Miller fights back with several punches to the head, which forces the Pure Gold Champion to drop GBM away to the side of the tacks.
Golden Ben Miller then knees Shotcaller in the stomach and lifts him into a scoop slam above the tacks.
Rudy Mac: I hate to repeat myself, but THIS COULD BE IT!
Shotcaller then is able to hit a boot to GBM’s face at the last moment and get loose of the scoop slam attempt on the tacks. Both wrestlers stagger on their feet and look at one another.
DeShawn: This might be the most EVEN match we’ve ever seen in GPW!
Golden Ben Miller attacks Shotcaller and clotheslines him to the ground off to the side of the tacks and then lifts Shotcaller clean and places him up on his shoulder.
The Golden Warhorse then carries Shotcaller to the previously set up latter and begins to climb.
Rudy Mac: What’s going on here!?
The fans POP for the big moment as GBM attempts to scoop slam Shotcaller off the ladder onto the tacks but is reversed at the last minute with a neckbreaker.
THE DRIVE-BY ONTO THE TACKS!!!
Rudy Mac: GOOD LORD!
The fans scream in excitement at the epic spot, and both wrestlers are left rolling wildly on the ground in pain and the crowd busts into a chant.
G-P-W! G-P-W! G-P-W!
Dutifully, the referee checks out both wrestlers as they climb to their feet. GBM has roughly 500 tacks sticking to his chest and abs where blood can be seen seeping out of each puncture.
Meanwhile, Shotcaller’s back drips with the blood of hundreds of other impaled tacks.
BLOOOOOOOD!!!!
Rudy Mac: They’re BOTH bleeding!
The referee throws his hands up and waves them while calling for a draw. Shotcaller and GBM collect themselves look at the blood pouring out of themselves.
Rudy Mac: I can’t believe it! This is going to be a tie!
Winner and STILL Pure Gold Champion:
Shotcaller via Draw
anchor
Shotcaller staggers around the outside of the ring while blood pours from his back and finds the production assistant to retrieve his Pure Gold Championship belt.
BOO!!!
Rudy Mac: HOGWASH! HOGWASH! IT CAN’T END LIKE THIS!
GBM stands off to the side his hands on his knees in disbelief while blood drips from his chest and abdomen onto the floor creating a crimson puddle.
DeShawn: REALLY!? THIS is how it’s going to end!?
Suddenly, the music of “E.I.” by Nelly begins to BUMP through the speaker system.
Rudy Mac: That’s the Commissioner’s music!
The crowd releases a huge cheer when GPW showrunner Parker Meloche walks out onto stage in his signature grey suit and a microphone in his hand.
Both Shotcaller and Golden Ben Miller look up to the stage.
Rudy Mac: I was hoping the commish wouldn’t let this be!
The music fades out and the young Canadian business lifts the microphone to his mouth.
Parker: Forgive my queen’s English here, but WHAT in the BLOODY hell! You two just HAD to go bleed at the SAME time?!
Shotcaller and GBM both look over at each other from outside opposite sides of the ring while the commissioner continues.
Parker: A draw isn’t happening on my watch, no matter how hands-off I tried to be this year! Get your asses back in the ring because we’re going to FINISH this match! SINGLE FALL ONE-ON-ONE!
The Blood And Bling attendees ERUPT LIKE PINATUBO!

Golden Ben Miller nods over to Shotcaller from outside the far side of the ring, and Shotcaller gives a scowling nod in return, and the two make their way to the opposite sides of the ring and make their way up.
Rudy Mac: WE’VE GOT SUDDEN DEATH OVERTIME!
DeShawn: OKAY, SOMEONE CHANGE MY PANTS NOW!
The current Pure Gold Champion climbs over the ropes as GBM follows suit, and the two approach each other in the middle of the ring.
Both wrestlers have hundreds of tacks sticking out of their skin; GBM’s tacks stick to him on his front and Shotcaller’s protrude from his back as the result of the Drive-By neckbreaker off the ladder.
G-P-W! G-P-W! G-P-W!
Rudy Mac: These fans all know that only Golden Pro Wrestling could produce a MOMENT! LIKE! THIS!
The two wrestlers rush and collide with each other and blood splatters into the air like a fine mist.
DeShawn: Watch out for blood droplets, Rudy!
Golden Ben Miller delivers the first strike of the same-night rematch with a headbutt, which sends Shotcaller to the ground. Shotcaller feels his forehead and can see blood all over his hand.
Rudy Mac: Shotcaller is bleeding from his head!
GBM picks up the bloody Shotcaller and pulls him to the corner where he gets up on top of the second rope and proceeds to deliver a series of punches. Blood splatters outward with each blow.
1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10!
DeShawn: I got lost at 4!
Rudy Mac: No time for nonsense! Golden Ben Miller looks like he is ALL OVER Shotcaller right now with the Pure Gold Championship UP FOR GRABS!
The Golden Warhorse pulls Shotcaller up off the ring mat and delivers an IMPRESSIVE gutwrench throwaway slam.
1… 2… … NO!!!
Rudy Mac: I’m still feeling good about GBM’s chances here!
DeShawn: His WHOLE career has been building to this moment!
The 19,000 attendees inside FedExForum delight as Golden Ben Miller lifes up Shotcaller and delivers scoop slam that SHAKES the entire arena. Blood splatters out from under Shotcaller’s back leaving a blood-stained outline of his body on the mat.
1… 2… … NO!!!
Rudy Mac: Golden Ben Miller has just gone to ANOTHER LEVEL but Shotcaller is hanging in!
Once back on their feet, Shotcaller keeps trying to fend off GBM’s aggression but is unable to. Golden Ben Miller throws the Bloods gang leader to the ropes and knocks him down mid-ring with a shoulder block.
Rudy Mac: I hope I know what time it is…
The GPW faithfully begin to chant for their favorite move.
GOLDEN KNEE! GOLDEN KNEE! GOLDEN KNEE!
GBM skips pulling off a kneepad since he had already done that once already tonight. The fans expel a RUSH of excitement as the Golden Warhorse bounces off both ropes, returns to mid-ring and jumps into the air.
THE GOLDEN KNEE-NO!!!
At the last moment, Shotcaller pops up and grabs GBM by the neck on their way down.
THE DRIVE-BY!!!
Rudy Mac: MY GOODNESS!
1… … … 2… … … … 3!!!
Rudy Mac: SHOTCALLER SURVIVES! SHOTCALLER WINS! SHOTCALLER IS STILL THE PURE GOLD CHAMPION!
BOO!!!
Shotcaller gets up to his feet before stumbling and falling toward the ropes, but the Pure Gold Champion holds on to them to stay standing. GBM lays motionless in the middle of the ring with a pool of blood forming underneath him.
Winner and STILL Pure Gold Champion:
Shotcaller via The Drive-By

Wazzup and Choo Choo immediately grab the Pure Gold Championship belt and the entire Shotcaller entourage walk up the stairs and into the ring. Da Bloodz helps Shotcaller up off the ropes and hands him GPW’s most prestigious title.
BOO!!!
Rudy Mac: Golden Ben Miller had EVERYTHING going for him in overtime, but Shotcaller FINISHED IT and THAT’S what counts!
Shotcaller, rapper Moneybagg Yo, Choo Choo and Wazzup, several Bloods gang members and the entire group of baddies begin to dance while “Ambitionz Az A Ridah” by 2Pac bumps through the speaker system.
BOO!!!
Wazzup and Choo Choo walk over to the stirring Golden Ben Miller and tell him to leave in colorful terms.
Choo Choo: Bounce homie! Ya dun got cooked! BOUNCE!
Wazzup: Golden lil bitch, yooz GOTZ TO GO!
The referee comes over and shoos away Da Bloodz before patting GBM on the back and ushering him out of the ring.
DeShawn: This might be Shotcaller’s FINEST moment!
The large group of Shotcaller and his people continue to party as one of the Bloods gang members pops a bottle of liquor and begins pouring it down the mouths of other.
Meanwhile, Golden Ben Miller walks up the ramp in a look of complete surprise and disbelief.
Rudy Mac: This was supposed to be GBM’s time! This was supposed to be his big moment, but it ALL FELL APART!
DeShawn: He’s now 0-3 in GPW main events when the Pure Gold Championship is on the line!
Rudy Mac: I think we can officially say that there is a CURSE over Golden Ben Miller! From everyone here, THANK YOU for tuning in for Season 6, and we’ll see you soon for more GOLDEN. PRO. WRESTLING!
The camera zooms in on GBM’s face with a view of the Shotcaller party in the background as their celebration continues inside the ring before the transmission fades to black…
