MWL Redline - July 25, 2007
"First, Byakko, at Goldlust, I'll tear you apart. You'll be on the ass end of a Radical Crash that's going to leave you unconscious. Oh, but I won't stop there, no. After that, I'll bend your arms in ways they were never supposed to. And only after you've learned that you can't possibly stand up to me, THEN I'll drill you with another Radical Crash, and end it mercifully, HAH!" Jim laughed. "And as for my match here tonight, against Instant Epic Win, Christopher Martel, you will be my warm-up, henh. I suggest you have your brother get the bandages ready. You'll need 'em."
Jim then took in a deep breath as Nicholas Hunter approached. He stopped next to Jim, and grinned. "Alright, Jimmy, you ready?" Nicholas asked.
"Oh, yeah." Jim nodded, grinning, as the two took off.
"The reunited Jim Norris and Nicholas Hunter take on Instant Epic Win coming up, next!" Stevan announced.
Match 1: Tag Team - Normal Tag: Instant Epic Win v. Jim Norris and Nicholas Hunter - Part 1 - Part 2
As the two teams brawled on the outside, four men appeared at the top of the stage, looking down, as a woman's voice came over the speakers. "Well, well, now... Her we have the Martels, Lightweight Champion Jim Norris, and Nicholas Hunter... Don't you boys have bigger problems to worry about than each other?" The voice asked, as she stepped out onto the stage, behind the others. "Maybe you've forgotten, but all of you down there are facing the Ssu-Ling on Sunday. Boys, let the brawl begin." The woman, Suzaku, announced, dropping the microphone as Byakko, Seiryu, Kouryuu, and Genbu charged down the ramp and began to battle with all four of their opponents until security came out to break it up.

"Stevan Corber here, with MWL World Heavyweight Champion, Yugo Ryan. Yugo, on Sunday, you defend your title against Kairez, the man you named number one contender. Now, we haven't seen hide nor hair of Kairez since the inaugural World Heavyweight Championship match a few weeks ago, do you think he's training for the match at Goldlust?" Stevan asked.
"He might be. I mean, really, he and I go way back, y'know? There was a time when we were on top of the tag team division, side by side. Kairez is probably the best friend I have here, and, well, I don't think there'll be any malicious intent between us, just a good old competition for the gold." Yugo answered.
"And this thing with Lino when we saw the two of you working together against Magnum, do I sense a bit of a bond forming there?" Stevan pressed.
"Maybe you do, maybe you don't. Magnum and myself have quite the history, too, but not quite as nice as the history between me and Kairez, no. But Lino, well, Lino really falls more under that old saying, 'the enemy of my enemy is my friend', y'know? Maybe we have started forming a bit of an allegiance, but it's solely to take out Magnum." Yugo answered.
"Solely to take me out, eh?" Magnum asked, approaching Yugo. "You'd better hang on to that title, Yugo..." Magnum began, patting Yugo's World Heavyweight Championship. "...Because after I tear Lino apart at Goldlust, I'm coming for you. And that belt will be mine, come Domination."
"Don't hold your breath." Yugo answered, growling.
"Hah! Listen to you! You actually think you'll beat me, don't you?" Magnum laughed.
"You don't stand a chance, Magnum." Yugo answered.
"Oh, really? Bet me." Magnum taunted as Yugo kneed him in the gut, lifted him up, and dropped him with a Superiority Complex.
"What now, HUH?!" Yugo shouted.

Match 2: Single: Spike Norton v. Scott Froelich
"Stevan Corber here, with all five members of the Ssu-Ling, four of which will be competing at Goldlust on Sunday. First of all, Byakko, you're challenging for the MWL World Lightweight Championship against Jim Norris, and it seems that after last week you've got some support in David Hitz. Your thoughts?" Stevan asked.
"Well, I appreciate David's assistance, I really do, but I've beaten Norris more than once, before. The only difference this time is that there's a championship on the line. I can't imagine it'll be too different from the last few times I've laid him out." Byakko answered.
"And if you successfully take the title from Norris, then what?" Stevan asked.
"Well then, at Domination, as thanks for him having my back, I will defend the MWL World Lightweight Championship against David Hitz in a match of his choosing." Byakko answered.
"Alright, thank you, Byakko. Seiryu, Kouryuu, you two are now the reigning MWL World Tag Team Champions, and at Goldlust, you defend against Instant Epic Win. You can't deny that those two are a very dominant tag team in MWL, and always have been. What are your thoughts on the defense, Sunday?" Stevan asked.
"Those boys won't know what hit 'em!" Seiryu announced. "Tonight, the little one got busted open, and against us, that's a huge handicap! He's just got a spot on him that'll bleed REAL easy if we work on it."
"Allan, mark my words..." Kouryuu began. "Sunday, you've got bigger problems to worry about than our Tag Team titles...like the well-being of your little brother. Consider yourselves lucky if he walks out of Goldlust in one piece."
"Alright, thank you, Seiryu, Kouryuu." Stevan stated. "Genbu..."
Genbu shot Stevan a glare as Suzaku spoke. "Excuse me, Stevan, but I do the speaking for Genbu." She stated, as Stevan nodded.
"Aah, alright. Sunday, Genbu is involved in a triple threat match for number-one contendership to the MWL-CAW Championship at Domination. Also in that match is Nicholas Hunter and a man whose identity has yet to be revealed. What are your--I mean, Genbu's--thoughts on that match?" Stevan asked.
"What do you think, Stevan? Genbu's going to demolish both Hunter and whoever else Michael Jamborgh throws into that match. No question about it! The DDtS will mark Genbu's ascent to greatness! As if he wasn't there already, what with his undefeated streak intact, to this day." Suzaku answered.
"Alright, we're done here! Let's go." Kouryuu announced as the Ssu-Ling made their exit.
"Magnum versus Yugo Ryan is NEXT!" Stevan announced, as Genbu shot him one last glare.
Main Event: Single: Magnum v. Yugo Ryan
As Magnum lay unconscious in the ring, Yugo slid out, grabbed his belt, and slumped against the barricade, exhausted. His music faded out when Genbu appeared on the stage, dragging Nicholas Hunter by his hair. Genbu stormed down the ramp, slamming Hunter's face against anything he could along the way, rolling the battered Nicholas into the ring and climbing in.
Genbu walked to Nicholas and again grabbed him by the hair, as he weakly threw punches, trying to fight off the powerhouse attacking him. Genbu snarled, then lifted Nicholas up for the DDtS, and held him for a moment before slamming him down, causing the ring to collapse beneath them. Genbu then stood, towering over his fallen victim.
