EMF: Shockwave

(Copyright information is shown over the screen. We fade into a highlight video of Connor Wicklow winning a battle royal to take on Tony Ikeda. Along with various other clips. We go into an introduction screen that welcomes us to Last Stand 2021. The lights are turned off as fireworks blasts on the specially made stage. The lights turn on as fans yell and wave their signs. The camera’s get a few shots of the crowd, and finally it zooms out to display the location information. We get one more shot of the crowd.)

JR-Tonight we are live from North Carolina. Welcome to the 2021 edition of EMF Last Stand. I’m good ol’ JR, Jim Ross. I’m joined by Jerry “the King” Lawler, and Kris Gaffney.

King-Tonight is a big night. All headlined by Connor Wicklow taking on Tony Ikeda.

Kris Gaffney-With everything surrounding that match, I got to wonder what it’s going to take to keep someone down for 10 count.

JR- A lot, but let’s get started with the first match of the night.

(“Game on” blasts on the PA system as Tony Ikeda walks out on the stage. “Radio” blasts on the PA system Zack Ryder walks out on the stage.)

JR-This team has been a champion before, we’ll see if they can have the same sort of success.

King-They better not.

Kris Gaffney-There is more on the line than just the Cabals reign.

(The arena lights flicker and suddenly everything falls under a deep blanket of darkness when “Funeral March” by The fourth Floor blasts. There is a single spotlight beaming to life in the middle of the ring, revealing an old, battered, Victorian music box. The ratchet lever on the music box begins to spin and we all hear the gentle sounds of a music box eerily creep throughout the cold arena air that grows more ominous with every dainty pluck of pins and teeth, leaving us in the pitch of blackness, gripped by the callous, talon-clawed hands of fear as Lux Aeterna Tenebrosi Stellata plays.)

Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen…. Brace yourselves!

(We see the silhouette of a small woman. She makes her way down the aisle as smoke crawls across the canvas surrounding everyone in the ring, at ringside and into the audience.)

Ring Announcer: Making her way down the aisle the lovely and loathsome Morose Rose - Miss Macabre, herself, Grace Brutal!

(She stops halfway down the aisle slyly looking back as a tiny spark flicks behind her. The spark quickly and suddenly turns into a small flame stood upon the wick of a candle which illuminates the contours and crevices of The Wretched Nobody's haggard mask. Suddenly a ring of flames ignite on the side of the ring and as a platform raises Azar Vulcan stands in the center. The flames flashing on his Television Championship.) Ring Announcer: Making their way to the ring at a combined weight if 635 pounds. The challengers, The Mastermind and The Monster! AZAR VULCAN AND THE WRETCHED NOBODY!

Kris Gaffney-Christopher Haynes said he’d retire if Ryder and Tony won here.

JR-I still don’t remember it being like that…

Kris Gaffney-Was going to happen at some point.

(“Judas” blasts on the PA system. Troy Gafgen walks out on the stage. AJ Lee skips around him, and he steps inside of the ring.)

JR-Troy has been gaining some momentum.

Kris Gaffney-Some momentum is better than none.

King-As long as it gets us talking about AJ.

The sound of a revolver being loaded stuns the crowd. Instantly the lights drop, plunging the arena into total darkness. Suddenly “Get the strap” by 6ix9ine & 50 Cent blares out over the speakers and the reaction is mixed. The first 12-13 seconds play with no sign of Wade until “Grr grr Go get the strap” bellows out. Wade strolls out calmly to the ring announcement. Not bothered by the cheers and jeers from the crowd, Wade pays little attention as he narrows in on the ring before sliding under the bottom rope. Removing his jacket and tee in the centre of the ring he stands ready for his opponent.

(“No theme song” blasts on the PA system. Damien Priest walks out to smoke, and he enters the ring.)

JR-This should be very interesting first match for Damien Priest.

King-There is a new group rising up.

Kris Gaffney- We’ll see where that goes.

["Pimp Slap That Hoe" by "Soulja Boi" plays in the background, as the arena is filled with various purple and pink colors. "Mack Daddy" Haynes struts out to the stage, equipped in a flashy purple robe with a white fluffy lining along the interior of the robe. He's equipped in a purple fedora with black shades that are adorned with jewels that say “T” on the right-eye lens and “V” on the left-eye lens. He makes a belt motion over his waist, before doing a "pimp-limp" walk down the ramp, ignoring the boos conducted by the audience along the ramp. He confidently pimp-limp walks down the ramp, before walking up the stairs. He eyes over the crowd, lowering his shades to give the camera a sleezy and confident smile. He then steps into the ring, through the middle-rope, raising his arms in the air with his cane in hand. He then takes off his fedora, robe, and cane, revealing his purple trunks, kneepads, and elbow pads, which have the words "New Champ" on the back of his trunks in gold letters. He eyes the stage, pacing back and forth.]

JR-Christopher Haynes doesn’t understand this match, but both of these men are apart of groups.

King-No doubt they will be clashing as tag teams at some point…but you’re still wrong JR, so I expect Mack Daddy to slap the taste out of your mouth!

[Damien Priest and Christopher Haynes stare down, they throw fists to the face. Neither is backing down until one of the fists rocks Christopher Haynes a bit more than he was expecting and he staggers backwards.

Kris Gaffney-Still hoping for that huh?

*** "Big Pun, Cuban Link, Apathy, Beast 1333 - Toe To toe Remix [2020]" plays in the background, as Bestia, The Big Boricua, walks to the stage while being accompanied by Fidel Estrada. Fidel Estrada is equipped in a loose suit and fedora-like hat that is similar to "Armando Estrada". Bestia, on the other hand, is equipped in black boots, semi-baggy black drawstring trousers, and a loose T-shirt that reads the words "Bestia, The Big Boricua" in Red, White, and Blue colours. Bestia is standing at 7'0lbs and weighting at 610lbs. Fidel Estrada, seeming very enthusiastic and energetic, showcases Bestia by pointing both of his hands at Bestia. Bestia, on the other hand, shows a very monstrously neutral expression on his face, as he slowly walks down the ramp. Fidel, walks behind him, as the crowd begins to boo the duo. Fidel takes the opportunity to wave the crowd down, energetically, but the booing ensues. Certain signs support Bestia with phrases such as "Boricua Bae", "Puerto Rican & Proud", "BESTIA!", and "Boricua Slam Them All!". Fidel motions Bestia to walk up the steps towards the ring, as Bestia walks up the steps, towards the apron. He eyes over the crowd, as Fidel walks around the exterior of the ring.

He grabs his shirt, and tears it apart with one hand, before tossing it towards the crowd. Fidel steps towards his corner, outside of the ring, as Bestia eyes up the ramp, towards the stage. ***

JR-Bestia is showing his dominance in the early going.

King-We’ll see what he does here. He hasn’t ever fought against someone that was super though.

Kris Gaffney-Guess as long as he’s away from mushrooms, things might be OK.

the music plays as a deep heavy fog rolls in and we hear the iconic Mario exiting the pipe noise as he appears rapping the lyrics to his entrance and making his way down the ramp rapping with the crowd as they join in.

JR-I’d say Mario’s attitude is a bit odd…but no, not it isn’t.

King-If you did say that, you’d be fucked!

(“The duck song” blasts on the PA system. Kenny Omegrape is already in the middle of the ring. Grapes come down from all over the arena and jump in the ring.)

JR-…….

King-I’m certain this is what the Melon Gods want.

Kris Gaffney-I’m wondering what they don’t want.

(“I’m better than you and you know it” Is said over the loud speakers right before Lamb Of God- “Overlord” hits. The crowd erupts in boos as the lighting begins to flash green and gold. The ramp fills with images of money as Azar Vulcan steps out from the back with a smug grin on his face. He stops atop of the ramp laughing at the fans.)

Announcer: Ladies and gentleman, making his way to the ring, weighing in at 215 pounds and standing 5’11”. He is The Best In The World, Azar “Mastermind” Vulcan!

(He puts a left fist into the air and makes his way down the ramp. He pretends as if he’s going to fist bump the fans, but gives them the middle finger instead and laughs. He stops at the ring, jumps up onto the outside ring apron, grabs the top rope and leaps right up over the top rope, spins in the ring with his arms out and stops in the center of the ring. He holds his hands out cockily taking in all of the fans boos, slams his hands down to his crotch in an X formation and then puts two middle fingers up before walking into his corner and relaxing against the ring post with a smug grin as he awaits his match to begin.)

JR-Azar is not going to be easy to beat.

King-That’s because the Melon Gods made it so.

(“Malakai Black’s theme” blasts on the PA system. The lights turn on and he’s sitting on the stage. Malakai Black stands up with his mask on, he walks to the ring. He removes his mask.)

JR-Malakai Black is dangerous. His black mass can end a match very quickly.

King-And seemly he’s not alone

As the lights go out in the arena, In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida by Iron Butterfly brings the arena to life with its opening organ. When the first licks of the guitar hit the speakers, Brandon Leno is seen standing on the stage, back to the ring with his arms stretched out to the side, head toward the sky. Different colored spotlights dance around him. Leno is wearing an acid wash jean jacket with an outline of a woman with psychedelic butterfly wings printed on the back of the jacket. Leno nods his head back and forth to the music as he turns around, aviator sunglasses on his face. Leno has his tie dyed tights on with Mr. Psychedelic printed across the back. Indica accompanies him down the ramp as he struts his way to the ring, grooving to the music. Len jumps onto the apron and gets into the ring. Once in the ring he goes to the turnbuckle, climbs the second rope and starts dancing to the music, trying to get the crowd involved. Orange looks around the arena, slowly pulls one hand out of his pocket and holds it just above his bellybutton and gives a lazy thumbs up before making his way down the ramp with his hands back into his pockets. Once at the ring, he slowly rolls under the ropes all the way to the middle of the ring where he does a kip-up with his hands still in his pocket. He walks to his corner giving a lazy thumbs up waiting for the match to begin.)

Kris Gaffney-Guess not.

JR-Brandon Leno has been a successful champion, we’ll see if he can be the one to take it away from Jackson Gunner.

King-Somehow I don’t think that would be a proud moment for the Gunner family.

(Lights go black and then Twilight of the Thunder God, by Amon Amarth blasts over the loud speakers and the crowed erupts. Lights begin to flash Red, White, and Blue as sparks fly down from the ceiling. The camera focuses up to the stands as halfway up steps Jackson Gunner out into the fans. The fans erupt as they spot Jackson. He rips his tank off and throws it into the crowd, he beats his chest with a yell and tosses his hands up into the air crossing his arms in an X formation. Gunner begins walking down the stares slowly toward the ring as he slaps hands with the fans on his way.) Announcer: Ladies and Gentleman. On his way to the ring, fighting out of Honolulu Hawaii. Standing 6’4” weighing in at 250 pounds. He is JACKSON “KOA KOA” GUNNER! (As Gunner slowly makes his way down the stairs he reaches the barricade and easily jumps over. He turns, faces the fans and beats his chest again with a roar to the crowd. Gunner turns faces the ring. He takes a step forward and easily jumps onto the ring apron, grabs the top rope and easily leaps over. He walks to the corner and throws his hands up into the air with an X formation and feeds off of the crowd’s roars. Gunner jumps down and stands in his corner as he rotates his wrists, smirking as he waits for the match to begin.)

JR-As mentioned the Gunner family has had deep roots in competition, not just in the EMF.

King-I won’t be impressed unless someone was in the Olympics with a broken freaking neck.

Kris Gaffney-Seems like the measuring stick.

[Jackson Gunner, Malakai Black, and Brandon Leno stand in the middle of the ring. Malakai Black throws a fist to the face, Brandon Leno throws a fist to the face of Malakai Black.

We hear the gentle sounds of a music box eerily creep throughout the arena growing more ominous, as Lux Aeterna Tenebrosi Stellata plays.

Ring Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen…. Brace yourselves!

Smoke crawls across the canvas surrounding everyone in the ring, at ringside and the front row of the audience. Grace walks out into the middle of the stage smiling ear to ear as the arena lights flicker again, through the strobe we see The Wretched Nobody appear from nowhere.

Ring Announcer: Making her way down the aisle the lovely, and loathsome Morose Rose - Miss Macabre, herself, Grace Brutal!
