REVO1 PRESENTS TUESDAY NIGHT LEGACY 10/12/21
As the new Legacy theme song fades, a series of blue and purple pyrotechnics explode on the stage as the camera pans around the sold-out arena, finally settling on the middle of the ring where the new Legacy GMs are waiting.
Michael Diamond: Hello Hartford and welcome to the “New Era” of Legacy!
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: It is so nice to be back in OUR hometown. We are very excited for you all to see what we have planned!
Cassandra turns to her husband, an excited smile across her face.
Michael Diamond: That’s right; Cassandra and I have MANY ideas in just what direction we plan on taking Legacy in. Countless changes are in store, some of which I’m sure a few of you may have noticed already…
Michael pointed to ringside, where two new commentators were now seated at the announcer’s table.
Michael Diamond: Hartford, please give a “sensational” welcome to Legacy’s new commentary team… Allison Williams and Noah Banks!
The crowd erupts in a mixture of cheering and heckling as Cassandra blows kisses to Legacy’s newest additions. The two announcers remain seated but look around at the fans, acknowledging the reaction.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Our dear, dear friends, I am sure you will all enjoy them as much as we do. Fresh new faces always brighten up a new brand. Isn’t that right Diamond….?
Cassandra turns to her husband as he nods his head in agreement.
Michael Diamond: You’re absolutely right, Cassandra! See, we didn’t just go out and rebrand the roster; we rebranded the whole damn show! New wrestlers, new commentators, new interviewers, new referees, and even legendary ring announcer… Pierce Cannon!
Michael directs his attention to the small African-American man sitting at the timekeeper’s table. Pierce, awkwardly, stands up and waves to the crowd.
Michael Diamond: Now, introductions aside, I’m afraid we do have a bit of business to attend to… and that comes in the form of our very own Maggie Lockheart. See, Maggie was the winner of the 2021 Remembrance Battle Royal. Which means, she has earned the right to challenge for either show’s World Championship. Now while most would say that it’s a 50/50 decision on which title she ultimately goes for, I can't help but feel like it's – at least – a 60/40 split in our favor.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Puh-lease Michael; who wouldn't want to be on this show!? I say it’s more like 70/30. She wants to be the best after all…
Michael Diamond: As always Cass, you’re absolutely right.
Michael gives his wife a quick kiss on the cheek, winks at her, then continues.
Michael Diamond: Legacy is THE best and as cliché as it is to say, we are ONLY getting better. However, I must say that it definitely caught me by surprise when I tuned in to Sin last week and noticed them doing this whole “points” tally system to determine their new #1 Contender. See, a part of me saw this and was instantly like “you know, maybe Legacy needs something like that”. You know, just in case the unthinkable happens and Maggie does, in fact jump ship. But then I was reminded by my beautiful wife that there is no place she’d rather be than here. Knowing what we knew, that we could lose her to our competitor’s brand at a moment's notice, we still drafted her within one of our top picks. Because we believe in her, we believe what she brings to this brand, and we believe in… the “Black Legacy”.
Suddenly, Diamond is interrupted by "Look What You Made Me Do" by Taylor Swift as it blares over the Arena PA. It doesn't take long for him to realize what is going on when his high draft pick to Legacy, Magdalena Lockheart, walks out on stage with a microphone in hand. She motions for her music to be cut, and turns her attention toward the ring.
Maggie Lockheart: So let me get this straight... you believe in the Black Legacy?
She looks out into the crowd that surrounds her in the XL Arena.
Maggie Lockheart: Is this true? Do you all believe in the Black Legacy?
The crowd reacts as they will. Maggie smiles and nods her head.
Maggie Lockheart: Well, that's always nice to hear. But I'll tell you what, Mr. Diamond. I'll tell you what I believe. I believe that no matter which title I choose to fight for... no matter which brand I choose to represent... that it could potentially change the future of that brand, maybe even forever. And to be honest with you, while I do respect that you drafted me high on the list... I wasn't your first choice. I wasn't your second, either. And yeah, that pisses me off. Not because I think I deserved a top draft pick... but because I've yet to earn it. And to be completely honest with you, I didn't come here to be anyone's second, third, fourth, or even eighth choice. Neither did most of the people in the back... in the locker rooms for both brands. A lot of us are pissed off for greatness because we're just not the type that settles for mediocrity.
Diamond nods his head and allows Maggie to continue.
Maggie Lockheart: I could have a great match with Khaos. I could be a main player on the Sin brand. We could do a 60-minute classic if we wanted. The match could go to sudden death and still end in a time limit draw. I truly believe that. But I also look at Jin Min-Jun... I look at Lee-Jun-Dary and what they've done to me in the past. I look at how Jin cost me the Horrorcore championship and bragged about it. I watched as Jin won the world title against someone who wasn't the champion... and that bullshit mess of a match that had so much outside interference it looked like a lumberjack match... I watched him go through all of that and brag about it. And to be fair, I can see why a man like you picked Lee-Jun as your one-two combination. They make a great team. They're winners when they have each other's backs... and still deadly on their own too.
Maggie motions out to the crowd.
Maggie Lockheart: But let me get to my point here, Sir. I'm just one person. But you know what? I won Remembrance by myself. I beat Jessie Lee by myself. I know I can whoop Brooklyn-Guns ass too if the fight is one on one. Yet I don't think I'm going to get a fair fight here on your brand. I don't think if I challenge Jin that I won't also be challenging Jessie too. So I've made my final decision and I'm done beating around the bush.
Michael Diamond: So you'll be leaving for Sin then? That's a real sh-
Maggie Lockheart: No, actually. I WILL challenge Jin at Christmas Chaos! Jin... I don't give a damn how many Jessie Lee's you have in your corner. The truth of the matter is you think Legacy is being handed to the two of you on a silver platter and I'm not about to walk away from this locker room and from what I stand for. You cost me the Horrorcore championship and you spat in my face. Now its up to you Jin. Now you're going to have to figure out a way to defend your title against me and you'll have all of the advantages that I never had. You'll run your mouth and say that you won't lose... but the truth Jin... is that you CAN'T.
Maggie turns towards the crowd.
Maggie Lockheart: As long as I'm around, Legacy will NEVER belong to one team... even if they are Lee-Jin-dary. And I'm willing to bet that if ONE person stands up to you, then the rest in OUR locker room will follow! Legacy WILL be the best show and we'll STEAL Christmas Chaos regardless of the result. But Jin... take it from the reigning and defending Level Up World Champion... It's one thing to win a title and another to defend it. So let's find out together if you're the real deal or if you're just nothing but... talk.
Lockheart drops the microphone as her music begins playing over the speakers yet again. She motions to the sold-out crowd before making her way down to the ring. Her match with Xavier Coldwater was up next!

MATCH #1 Xavier Coldwater vs. Maggie Lockheart
The two superstars circle around each other as Maggie Lockheart feigns a kick at Xavier Coldwater’s thigh, forcing him back a few steps. Maggie smirks at his reaction as Xavier lowers his eyes, moving in and locking on his opponent as the two meet in a standard grapple. Coldwater gets the better of her, wrenching her into a headlock. Lockheart forces him back against the ropes as she uses the momentum to send him across the ring. She gives chase as Xavier hits the other side, leaping up onto the second rope and flying off with a Springboard Moonsault. Maggie manages to duck the blow as Coldwater rotates through, landing on his feet. Lockheart leaps backwards, catching Xavier right in the nose with a Pele Kick! The shot rocks him back into the ropes as he hits them and bounces back towards his opponent, Maggie taking him off his feet once more with a Judo Hip Toss! She quickly goes for the cover…
One…
Kick-out!
Lockheart runs off the ropes, leaping into the air, looking for a Leaping Forearm but Coldwater was ready, catching her arm and flipping her down to the mat with an Arm Drag! Maggie quickly bounces back up as she swings at Xavier but he ducks the blow and positions himself behind her. He locks her arms up and snaps her back onto the mat with a picture perfect Dragon Suplex, staying in a bridge for the pinning predicament…
One…
Kick-out!
Neither competitor want to lose this one early as Coldwater pulls her back up and positions her in the corner. He sits her up on the turnbuckle post and follows her up, looking for a high-impact move. He starts to hook her arms for a Suplex-type move but Maggie battles back, hitting a series of Open-Handed Palm Strikes, that takes the breath out of Xavier. He stumbles backwards as Lockheart stands up and leaps off, driving her knees into his face and pinning him to the mat with a Top Rope Meteora!
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Maggie measures her opponent up as he pushes himself back to his feet. She runs in and leaps into the air, looking for a Step-Up Enzugiri but Coldwater ducks the blow again. Lockheart lands hard on her belly as Xavier wraps his arms around her waist and lifts her into the air with a Wheelbarrow-type style. Maggie quickly counters, grabbing her opponent’s head/neck and falling forward, slamming him down onto the mat with a Snapmare! Xavier hits the mat and rolls through, leaping up onto the second rope and flying backwards towards the Remembrance Battle Royal Winner with a Springboard Back Elbow! The blow catches her near her right eye as she collapses to the mat, her hands going over her face. Coldwater quickly scampers into the cover…
One…
Two…
Thr-Kick-out!
Lockheart barely gets her shoulder up as Leigh Haught continues to clap and cheer on her client, insisting that he “stay on her”. Xavier nods his head in understanding as he bounces off the ropes and catches a rising Maggie right in the back of the head with a vicious “Chill Axe” (Scissors Kick)! Lockheart crumples to the mat as Coldwater rolls her over and hooks the leg…
One…
Two…
Three-no! Kick-out!
Xavier is unable to believe it as he looks at the referee just to make sure he heard him correctly. Coldwater nods his head to his opponent out of respect as he goes over to the corner, pulling himself up. Maggie is still clutching at her face, clearly in a world of hurt. Xavier casts one glance over his shoulder, before leaping high into the air. He flips backwards towards his opponent, spinning with such velocity that it’s hard to track just how many times he rotated in mid-air. As he came crashing down, looking for the “Absolute Zero (Chance)” (Diving Double Rotation Moonsault), Lockheart somehow had managed to kip up and catch him on the way down with a “Wylde Liberation” (RKO)! Leigh, just like the rest of the crowd, was in shock at that amazing counter. “Holy Shit” chants rang through the audience as Maggie struggled to push Coldwater onto his back, draping an arm across him for the pin…
One…
Two…
Thr-Kick-out!
Now it was Lockheart’s turn to look at the referee in amazement. “Fight Forever” chants permeated through the sold-out arena. Maggie taunts for Xavier to get up as he pushes himself to his knees. She bounces off the ropes and runs towards him, looking for the “Black Legacy” (Curb Stomp) but Coldwater pulls his head back at the last second, narrowly avoiding the knock-out shot. Xavier grabs Lockheart from behind and slams her down on the back of her head with a Reverse DDT, floating immediately into the cover.
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Maggie continues to grab at her head in agony as Coldwater pulls her up and hoists her on his shoulders. He runs at the nearest corner and slams her against it with a Scoop Slam, tying Lockheart up in a Tree of Woe position. Xavier then creates some distance between them, circling around the ring, before running in and driving his feet right into her sternum with a Hesitation Dropkick! The blow is enough to jar Maggie free as she collapses down onto the mat once more. Coldwater quickly rolls her over and makes the cover…
One…
Two…
Rope-break!
Lockheart wisely gets her foot on the bottom rope as Xavier exhales out of disappointment, believing he had this one won. Coldwater goes to the top rope and balances himself on them as Maggie staggers back to her feet. He walks across the ropes, like on a tight wire, before leaping off and connecting on a Springboard Crossbody! Lockheart hits the mat and rolls through, somehow pinning Xavier to the mat instead…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Both bounce back up as they go to engage but Maggie suddenly jumps up, catching Coldwater under the chin with a Jumping Knee Strike. The blow stuns Xavier as he falls to a knee, prompting Lockheart to bounce off the ropes, leap into the air, and send his face crashing to the mat with the “Black Legacy” (Curb Stomp)! Maggie rolls Coldwater over as she hooks the leg…
One…
Two…
Three…!
Winner via Pinfall: Maggie Lockheart
Maggie Lockheart pumps her fist at the victory as she rolls off to a corner, still clutching at her head. Leigh Haught rolls into the ring and helps Xavier Coldwater up as he shakes off the effects of Maggie’s finisher. The two competitors share a nod at each other as the fans give both superstars a standing ovation for the effort they saw tonight.

The RevoTron sparks to life as an image of a white sandy beach is shown, the water color a clear aqua. The beach is deserted as the only thing that can be heard is the “squawking” of the native birds. Slowly, the image starts to hover up as we pull further and further away, until we’re finally looking down at the deserted island from a birds-eye view. At first glance, nothing seems to be of importance. But if you look close enough, off in the distance, there appears to be an “X” written in the sand. As the image begins to focus in on that, the picture suddenly fades out as a message scrolls across the screen…
“Always remember… ‘X’ marks the spot…”

The scene shifts to the backstage area as we see Michael Diamond in his office, arguing with someone on the phone.
Michael Diamond: I don’t care how many Danny Starr protestors there are, we pay you to secure the area so do your damn job!
Diamond angrily hangs up his phone as Cassandra Starr-Diamond saunters in, the ear-to-ear grin waning at the sight of her distraught husband. She perches herself on the corner of his desk, slamming her hands down playfully.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Sooooooo……. I did a thing!
Michael narrows his eyes as he looks at his wife, suspiciously.
Michael Diamond: I’m sure I’m going to regret the answer to this but… what did you do?
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Well remember when we went to see that ballet a couple weeks ago, in Paris?
A smug look came across his face as he stood up, placing his hands on his wife’s hips.
Michael Diamond: I mean, I remember how stunning you looked in that tight little silk number of yours. The ballet itself seems to be a bit of a blur. But that encore performance though…
Cassandra blushed and bit her lip, acknowledging her husband's frisky remark. Bringing her attention back to the matter at hand, she gently pushed his hands off of her waist.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: *ahem* As I was saying… there was a brother/sister duo that starred in this show that you clearly didn't pay attention to. Well… guess what!?
Michael Diamond: You and I are going on a romantic getaway to Paris to celebrate our first successful show of Legacy!? Aww babe, you shouldn’t have!
Michael leaned in and wrapped his arms around her in a big embrace.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Not exactly…
Cassandra hooked his arms from her waist as she looked at him sheepishly.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Actually, I hired them for LEGACY! They should be here in time for our next event!
Cassandra practically hopped up and down with excitement as she leaned in and pressed her lips to his.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Aren`t you proud?!
Michael forced a smile as he tried to wrap his head around what had just happened.
Michael Diamond: So… let me see if I understand this correctly. I put you in charge of bringing in new talent for Legacy and the first thing you do is go out and recruit a group of ballerina’s…?
Cassandra’s smile begins to fade, slightly confused at the dissatisfied tone in his voice.
Cassandra Starr-Diamond: Well, not just ANY ballerinas... they are super popular and already have a strong fan base! They seem like a lot of fun and just so happened to be looking for a career change. Besides… just think of all the sparkly outfits!
A million-dollar smile suddenly forms on Michael’s lips as he nods his head in agreement.
Michael Diamond: You’re right, as always. This is exactly the type of publicity we need. Not only is it another boost to our tag team division but we’re bringing in unique talent that is exclusive to ONLY Legacy! Like I said earlier in the night, we keep on getting better and better.
Michael gives Cassandra a quick kiss as he puts his arm around her shoulder and the two continue to discuss further ideas for the promotion.

Match #2 Ross Hanson vs. Darius Alexander
The bells rings as Ross Hanson and Darius Alexander lock-up in a collar-and-elbow tie up, both vying for leverage. Ross maneuvers Darius into a headlock but Alexander is able to shove Hanson off of him. Ross hits the ropes, bouncing back and hitting a Running Crossbody that takes his opponent to the canvas. Darius quickly gets back up as the two lock up once more, Hanson maneuvering behind. Ross wraps his arms around his opponents waist, looking for a German Suplex, but Alexander counters, interrupting the move with a few stiff back elbow shots. Darius rotates around, wraps his arms around Hanson, and drops him onto the back of his head with a German Suplex of his own! Alexander keeps his arms locked, pulling Ross up and dropping him for a second, before pulling him up for a third time. Hanson manages to avoid the final German Suplex as he rotates behind again and finally lifts Darius up, dropping his opponent right on the back of his neck with a German Suplex! Hanson remains bridged as he keeps Alexander’s shoulders pinned to the mat…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Darius fights his way back up as Ross meets him with a Short-Arm Clothesline that drops him down to the canvas. Hanson then bounces off the ropes, hitting a Running Body Splash! Ross stays on top for the pin…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Hanson looks to keep the momentum as he pulls Alexander up and sends him into the ropes. Darius bounces off and runs into Ross, who twists him in the air, looking for a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker. Alexander manages to rotate his way through it, landing beside Hanson and locking his arms around his waist. Darius then rotates Ross off of his feet up into the air and viciously slams him down to the mat with a Gutwrench Powerbomb! Alexander hooks the leg as he makes the cover…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Hanson tries to shake off the effects of the previous move, his head having snapped hard off the canvas, leaving him a bit dazed. Darius used this to his advantage, pulling the stunned Ross up and lifting him high into the air. Alexander then rotated Hanson and let him fall, catching Hanson in a free-fall with knees to his spine, connecting on a spine-shattering Vertical Suplex Backbreaker! Again, Darius went for the cover…
One…
Two…
Thr-Kick-out!
Alexander backed off Ross and allowed him a chance to get up as he charged in, looking for a Roll-Through Clothesline. Hanson managed to duck the blow however as Darius rolled past him, unaffected. Alexander turned as Ross met him with a Dropkick that sent him staggering back into the ropes. Darius bounced back as Hanson caught him with a Snap Suplex, floating into the cover…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Ross pulled Alexander up and hoisted him up onto his shoulder, pointing to the nearby corner. Hanson charged forward, looking for a Powerslam but Darius managed to slip off his shoulders and lock him in the “Plead the Fifth” (Coquina Clutch)! Ross fought against the chokehold as Alexander screamed for his opponent to “tap out”! Hanson used his feet to pull himself across the canvas as he finally got a boot on the bottom rope, breaking the submission hold.
Darius reluctantly released the hold as he stalked behind Ross. Hanson eventually got up as Alexander went for the kill-shot, grabbing Ross from behind and setting him up for the “Winds of Change” (Vertigo)! Hanson had it scouted, however, as Darius began to lift him up, only for Ross to drill him in the face with a knee! Hanson freed himself and rotated around, twisting Alexander down to the mat and locking him in an Armbar! Darius struggled against the submission hold as he tried to pull himself toward the ropes. Ross wasn’t giving him an inch, however, as Alexander was forced to tap out to save himself from Hanson ripping his shoulder off.
Winner via Submission: Ross Hanson
Ross Hanson raised his arms up in victory and celebrated with the crowd as Darius Alexander rolled out of the ring, his left shoulder hanging low. He cradled the wounded appendage and made his way back up the ramp, disappointed with his debut as Ross encouraged the crowd to give the rookie some love for his impressive debut.

The camera cuts to the backstage as we see Michael Diamond reclining in his leather chair, a live video screen image of Kylie Moore playing on his computer.
Michael Diamond: Kylie! Do what do I owe the pleasure!? Calling to congradulate me on the big Maggie Lockheart announcement?
Kylie responds by rolling her eyes as Cecilia Ortiz briefly appears in the shot, flipping Michael off. Diamond can only laugh at their reactions.
Michael Diamond: Good to see you too, Cecilia!
Kylie Moore: No, we didn't call about Maggie. We actually have a proposition for you.
Michael Diamond: I'm afraid I'm a married man, ladies...
Cecilia Ortiz: Not THAT type of proposition!
Diamond grinned again, enjoying toying with his two "rivals" over on Sin.
Kylie Moore: We have a trade proposition for you.
Michael Diamond: Makes sense, we are the superior brand after all...
Cecilia Ortiz: Oh he did NOT just say that! Tell me... he did NOT... just... say that!
Diamond interlocked his fingers together, placed them behind his head, and leaned back, relaxing further into his chair.
Michael Diamond: What do you got for me?
Kylie Moore: We want Ross Hanson.
Michael Diamond: Mhmm... I see... no surprise there. He was rather impressive in his match a few minutes ago. Dare I ask, why the sudden interest...?
Cecilia Ortiz: That's none of your fu...
Kylie Moore: No reason! We just feel like he'd be a better fit over here on Sin!
Michael Diamond: Hmmm and I suppose it definitely doesn't have anything to do with the fact that Chelsea Skye, Ross' tag partner, is over there either.
Kylie Moore: Just tell us, what would it take to get Ross Hanson on Sin?
Diamond seemed to contemplate it, before coming up with a response.
Michael Diamond: Simple, I want Meghan Strader.
Cecilia Ortiz: What!? He can't possibly...
Michael Diamond: It's no surprise you took her to spite me, just as I took Ross to spite you. I picked Tamika, one half of the tag team champions, and was primed and ready to take the other when you swooped in and snatched them with your next pick. My decision to take Ross at that point may've not been purely business but... how we say... personal? Then again, maybe I had anticipated this response from you and knew that if I took Hanson, sooner or later, you'd come to me with this proposal.
Diamond flashed his signature million-dollar smile, one that notoriously made the ladies swoon and, also, further enrgaged his enemies.
Michael Diamond: So what do you say? It's not a bad deal, I don't think. We've already agreed that the Tag Championships can be defended on either show, so it's not like you won't be seeing your fair share of The Cowgirls from Hell anyway. But you better make a decision quickly. As we just saw, Ross keeps on winning matches and his stock will be going...
Kylie Moore: Deal! It's a deal!
Michael Diamond: Excellent! Glad to hear it! I'll have my people draw up the papers! As always, pleasure doing business with you.
Cecila Ortiz: You sanctimonius son-of-a...
Diamond clicked out of the video as he laughed to himself again.

Match #3 Amber Payne vs. Serena Storm
“Lollipop” begins as Serena emerges from the back, all smiles, and decked out in a “Dallas Cowboys” cheerleader sweater and skirt. She performs a hip-hop-esque routine with her pom-poms, before tossing them into the crowd. She spins around on the stage, shaking her hips, as she begins to undo her top. When she turns around, she leaps up into the air, the sweater and skirt ripping away to reveal her wrestling attire underneath, as she lands in a crouched position.
The crowd cheers and claps for the debuting Serena's performance while the majority of the males in the audience hoot and holler at her. Serena smiles sweetly and pushes herself up to her feet, skipping down the ramp and slapping fans with a few of the fans at ringside. She then rolls under the bottom rope and gets into the ring, continuing to dance and play with the crowd.
Pierce Cannon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Dallas, Texas, Serena Storm!
As the newcomer who also goes by "Silver" waits in her corner, the lights go out. Music slowly coming on as Amber steps out from the back, her new manager Nikki right behind her, and slowly walks down the aisle. As the music picks up, she slides in the ring and pops up quickly to her feet. Nikki takes the ring stairs, stepping through the ropes casually.
As the drums hit, she stands there… then puts her arms out, head up looking at the ceiling. As the electronic beats comes, she leans her head down and looks at the hard camera. She turns her head facing her opponent, no expression on her face, as Nikki watches and smiles out of a corner of her mouth with a bit of an unsettling grin. She turns quickly and back tracks into her corner, taking her vest off as she keeps her eyes on her opponent.
Pierce Cannon: And her opponent...from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania...The Queen Of Strong Style, Amber Payne!
Nikki exits the ring the same way she came in, and also the same speed. Serena is very antsy to get this match underway, but Amber is very calm and brooding while waiting for Madelyn Cole to begin the match. With the wave of her hand to the timekeeper, the match is underway!
Serena Storm goes for a lockup, immediately hitting an arm drag takedown. Both ladies pop right back up to their feet, and Serena follows up with a quick headscissor takedown. Amber doesn't seem thrown off in the slightest, not even with Serena lands a dropkick that knocks her back to the ropes. Amber stays on her feet, preparing for the Storm. When Serena comes in thinking crossbody to send them over the top rope, Amber catches her in a front slam position and drives her down, slamming Serena's side down across her knee!
With Amber now in control of things, she elects to apply a bow and arrow stretch to try and slow Serena down. Serena hangs on, however, not wanting to give up so easily on her first night in Revolution1 Wrestling. The Queen Of Strong Style lays in a pair of stiff kicks where the shin buries into Serena's side, then takes her time in holding her head to get ready for a swinging neckbreaker. Perhaps she waited too long, as Storm reversed it into a bsckslide!
One!
Two!
Amber Payne breaks out of the pinfall! Storm with a kick to the midsection! She goes for a wristlock...rotates the arm...she's going to the top rope! Springboard corkscrew arm drag! What a move by Serena Storm! Both ladies are back up now...Serena with a whip to the corner...Amber reverses! Serena Storm goes into the turnbuckle! She is forced to take a couple of steps out to the center of the ring after the impact...Shining Wozadx by Amber Payne! Serena Storm is down! Amber goes for the cover…
One!
Two!
Serena kicks out! "HARDER! HIT HARDER!" Nikki screams from outside of the ring, as both ladies shake the cobwebs out and get ready for more. Serena with a forearm shot...Amber with a right hand...they're trading blows in the middle of the ring! Serena gets two forearms off in a row! She has Amber against the ropes! The crowd is behind her every step of the way! Irish whip...Amber comes back, Serena goes behind her...she has a chickenwing locked in! The Storm is Rising! She lifts Amber up, could be a sit-oit facebuster….
No! Amber stays on her feet! She spins free! She still has Serena's arm and shoulder! She quickly presses her down to the mat….she's trying to grab the other arm too! Oh my...the Rings Of Payne! Both shoulders are being pulled on so hard in this hold!
Serena is trying not to give in...she's trying to get out of it! Wait! She's standing up! She's gonna power her way out of it….no! Amber Payne holds her back down! She's got this thing locked in so deep… Madelyn is asking Serena if she wants to quit, but it sounds more like begging out of concern! Serena is screaming "NO!" at the top of her lungs!
Nikki runs over from ringside to near where Serena's face is directed (although quite a way from the ring apron.) "YES! YES YOU WILL! QUIT! QUIT!"
Serena screams out one final time... Amber pulls back one final time…. and Serena Storm nods her head yes! Madelyn immediately calls for the bell! This match is over!
Now let go, Amber…
You can let go of the hold now! Can you not hear the bell ringing more and more?
Nikki climbs up onto the ring apron, watching as Serena's face and eyes continue to show signs of excruciating agony. Madelyn sternly yells out to Amber "Let her go or I'll fuckin' DQ it!"
Amber stares red hot daggers at Madelyn, but a nod from Nikki is all it takes for her to release the hold and drop Serena. Amber stares at Madelyn some more, who goes over to check on Storm, until Nikki says something along the lines of "we've made our point, for now".
Pierce Cannon: The winner of the match, as a result of a submission, Amber Payne!
Serena is not injured severely, but could definitely use a good shoulder massage tomorrow. She just looks to the outside of the ring, where Amber once more raises her arms as she did when she entered the arena. The two lock eyes for a moment or two, but at this point the camera fades into the next segment.

We come back from the commercial break as the camera is, once more, inside the office of the Legacy GMs. Michael Diamond sits behind his desk, once more on his phone. The door opens and Jin Min-Jun walks in, prompting Diamond to hold his finger up, asking the Champion for a moment. He concludes his conversation, hangs up, and stands to greet Jin, offering his hand to him.
Michael Diamond: There he is! The #1 Draft Pick himself! Thank you for coming in on such short notice, I know that you’ve got your big tag match coming up next so I promise, I won’t keep you long.
Jin Min-jun: No problem. Gotta say you caught me off guard takin’ me from my turf like that, but damn man I can’t blame you for wanting the Brooklyngun as top dog in Legacy. I have a feeling though that you snatchin’ me up isn’t the end of your plays though. So what’s the deal?
Michael Diamond: I can see nothing gets by you. You’re right, there’s a reason why I took you first overall in the draft a few weeks ago. But before we get into that business talk, I’m afraid you have something that I want.
Michael nods his head in the direction of the World Championship, which is resting securely on Jin’s shoulder. Jin’s hand firmly holds the title against his shoulder and he raises an eyebrow at Diamond.
Jin Min-jun: Oh I have somethin’ everyone wants. But I promise you it’s mine. So you gotta have a damn good reason for me to let you hold it.
Michael raises his arms up, as if to indicate that he wasn’t a threat.
Michael Diamond: Whoa, perhaps not my best choice of words. You EARNED that title, Jin. I saw what you did at Remembrance. Hell, I saw what you did at Glory. The fans gravitate towards someone like you; someone with a “never-say-die” attitude.
Michael reached underneath his desk, producing a newly minted title belt that now read “Legendary Championship”. Diamond offered it up to Jin, in exchange for his old Sin heirloom.
Michael Diamond: This is the beginning of the "legendary era" of Legacy and I see no one better, on this show or the other, to lead it.
Jin’s eyes light up at the new title. He sets the Sin title down on Michael’s desk and gladly accepts the Legendary Championship. As he looks at his new boss a sly smirk spreads across his face.
Jin Min-jun: Mr. Diamond… that was a damn good reason. I think this is the beginning of a beautiful work relationship. You got it right boss man. This is a new era for Legacy. That other brand… Tuesday Night Jin… it was great. But Legacy… it’s about to be absolutely Lee-Jin-Dary.
Diamond nods his head in agreement as Jin begins to take his leave for his final preparations for his main event tag team match.
Michael Diamond: Oh, and I'm sure you probably heard, but it looks like Maggie Lockheart will be sticking around after all. So it's already been set, Maggie Lockheart vs. Jin Min-jun for the Legendary Championship at Christmas Chaos. I'd tell you goodluck, but you won't need it... right, Champ?
Jin turned on his heel and left, leaving Michael smiling to himself. Once the new Legendary Champion had departed his office, Diamond looked down at the Sin title lying before him, his smile widening even more as he scraped the now worthless piece of metal off the surface and into the trash can below.

Main Event Tag Team Match The Griffins (Eli Griffin/Krytos) vs. Lee-Jin (Jessie Lee/Jin Min-jun)
The two teams eye each other up as Jessie Lee agrees to start the match for her team, with Jin Min-jun stepping out onto the apron. Eli Griffin and Krytos play a game of “rock, paper, scissors” to see who will face off against the Rising Star Champion first, Eli winning the honors. Before he could ask his partner if they wanted to do a “best of three” series, Jessie was on him, pounding him into the ropes. Lee sent him across the ring, catching him on the way back with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker! Jin cringed at the brutal impact of spine-meeting-knee as Jessie looked up at her partner, shrugging her shoulders. Lee pulled him up once more and sent him into the ropes, this time catching Griffin with a Big Boot that possibly knocked a tooth out in the process! Jessie went for the cover…
One…
Krytos was there to break it up, stomping Lee in the back.
Jessie got to her feet and started stalking after Krytos as he backpedaled, his hands up as if to indicate that he didn’t want any trouble. She stalked him back into his corner as Eli began to get back up. Griffin rushed in to save his partner but Lee heard the footsteps. She spun out of harm’s way as Eli had to slam on the breaks in order to halt his progress, almost running directly into his partner. After ensuring that his partner was okay, Griffin turned only to walk right into a “BOOM!” (Super(wo)man punch)! Unfortunately for her, the impact sent Eli rolling out of the ring as she was unable to capitalize on the high-impact move. Krytos quickly rolled out of the ring and checked on his partner as the referee started the count out.
One…
Two…
Three…
Jessie grew tired of waiting and slid out, pulling Griffin up and rolling him into the ring. Krytos had a few words with her but, ultimately, made no move against her. Lee climbed up onto the apron and began to step back into the ring, only for Krytos to latch onto her leg, keeping her trapped up in the ropes. Jessie tried to free herself but was unable to do so quick enough as Eli charged in and caught her right in the face with the “Gangsta Lovin'” (Corkscrew Calf Kick)! Lee collapsed to the mat as Griffin went for the quick cover…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Jessie managed to muscle out of the cover as Eli tagged in his partner. The two pulled her up and sent her into the ropes, catching her on the way back with a Double Flapjack! Krytos floated into the cover as Griffin ran over and knocked Jin from the apron…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Min-jun rushed into the ring, looking to get some revenge on Eli but the referee was quick to stop him. The official was quick to restore order, getting both men back to their respective corners as Krytos pulled Lee up to her feet. He sent her careening into the ropes, catching her on the way back with a Spinebuster and going for the cover again…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Krytos pulled Jessie up and sent her into the corner, tagging in Eli once more as he rushed in and met her with a series of vicious Knife Edge Chops, each one echoing throughout the arena. Lee started to battle back, sneaking in back elbows to Krytos on the apron and closed fist shots to Griffin. Just as it looked like she was beginning to get some separation, Griffin snuck in a kick to her gut, doubling her over. Eli followed that up with the “Pimp Mobile” (Swinging Neckbreaker), sending Lee crashing down to the canvas. Griffin made the cover, hooking the leg…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
The fans were firmly behind the Rising Star Champion and her partner, chants of “Lee-Jin” and “Jessie” filling up the arena. Jin bounced anxiously on the apron, calling for the tag as Eli brought Jessie back into the corner, tagging in Krytos once more. He drags her to the ropes and sends her across the ring, trying to hit her on the way back with a Clothesline. Lee is able to duck underneath the blow as she bounces off the other set of ropes, only to run right into a Spinning Corkscrew Elbow from Krytos! Krytos quickly goes for the cover…
One…
Two…
Kick-out!
Somehow, Jessie was still in this match as Krytos shook his head in disbelief. He measured her up for the “Indian Stomp” (Curb Stomp), looking to bounce off the ropes for additional impact but Min-jun sneakily pulled down the top rope at the last second, forcing Krytos to topple to the outside! The referee hadn’t really seen the interference and went to question Jin as to what had happened but Min-jun simply shook his head, stating that he had been “standing in his corner the whole time”. Krytos took offense to Jin’s involvement and pulled him from the apron. He went to send the Legendary Champion crashing into the steel steps but Min-jun was able to counter, using his supreme athleticism to leap up onto them instead. Jin balanced himself for a moment, before turning and leaping off, catching Krytos under the chin with a Diving Side Kick!
Krytos collapsed to the padding on the outside as the referee demanded he get the legal man back in the ring. Jin ignored the official as he looked to see Lee getting back up to her feet. Min-jun began shouting at her as Jessie vehemently shook her head “no” in response. Jin continued to egg her on, trying to convince her to run off the ropes and do a “Suicide Dive”, just as he had – supposedly – taught her. The fans joined in on this as well, egging her on as Lee dropped her head. Throwing up her arms, as if to say “fine, what the hell”, she turned to run off the ropes only for Griffin to catch her up on his shoulders and spin her down to the canvas with a Samoan Driver!
The fans booed this, more-so because they wanted to see the Aussie attempt a high-risk maneuver. Eli looked out at the crowd perplexed as Min-jun was suddenly in the ring, laying into him with a series of strikes that backed Griffin into his corner. Eli did his best to cover up but every time he went to protect his face and body from the Jin’s fists, Min-jun would switch it up and deliver kicks and knees to the exposed portions of Griffin’s lower body. The knockout blow seemed to be when Eli let his guard down and the new Legendary Champion snuck a Spinning Reverse Elbow right to his jaw, dropping him into the corner.
All hell had broken lose as the referee was unable to restore any order to this match. Jin ran to his corner, sizing Griffin up for the “K5” (Sliding D to the skull) as he pointed his finger-guns at his opponent, calling his shot. But as he charged in, Krytos was there to make the save, coming out of nowhere and intercepting Min-jun with the “Charlie Thornton” (Honor Roll)! Jin hit the canvas hard and rolled to the apron as Krytos got to his feet, only for Jessie to double him over with a stiff kick to the gut. She set him up for the “LEEthality” (Spinning Double Underhook Facebuster) but just as she got Krytos’ arms locked in place, Eli was there to make the save, delivering a shot to the gut that forced the break. Griffin then grabbed Lee and slammed her down hard to the canvas with a Snap Suplex! The referee was finally able to restore order and get the two legal competitors as the only ones in the ring.
Min-jun got back to his corner and cheered on his partner as Lee seemed exhausted and was barely moving. Krytos was up first, as he saw his opportunity to strike. He rushed in, looking for the “Indian Stomp” (Curb Stomp) once more but reacting out of pure instinct, the Rising Star Champion was able to pull herself away from the blow. Krytos turned right into Jessie, who caught him right in the throat with a vicious Discus Clothesline that dropped both competitors to the mat!
It was gut check time for Lee as she started to inch her way over to her partner. Eli saw the match slipping away and reached over and tagged himself in. Griffin pounced on his opponent, grabbing her from behind and setting her up for an Atomic Drop. Jessie managed to rotate out of her opponent’s grip, landing safely behind Eli. Before he knew what was happening, Lee had her arms around his waist and was slamming him face-first into the mat with a Belly-to-Back Facebuster!
Griffin was down. Krytos was down. Jessie was down. And Jin was stomping his foot on the apron as he called for the tag. Slowly, Lee began to crawl her way in that direction. Krytos began to stir. He reached out to grab Jessie’s ankle. Too late! She dove and made the tag! The place came unglued as the Legendary Champion slipped into the ring. Krytos went for a Clothesline but Min-jun easily ducked it, barreling past his opponent and hitting Eli with a Running Front Dropkick! As his feet drove into Griffin’s chest, Jin pushed off, spinning backwards and catching Krytos unaware with a Backflip Headscissors Takedown! Griffin was back in a bad way, leaning against the corner as Min-jun didn’t hesitate, charging forward and connecting on the “K5” (Sliding D to the skull) this time! He pulled Eli from the corner and made the cover…
One…
Two…
Krytos was there to make the save, forcing Jin off of his brother.
Krytos forced Min-jun up, locking his arms behind his back and setting him up for the “High School Dropout” (Double Underhook DDT). Jin struggled against it, somehow breaking free, twisting around, and catching Kyrtos in the jaw with the “Broken Crown” (Inverted Stomp Facebreaker)! Lee was somehow back up to her feet as she managed to catch Krytos before he could fall to the mat, completing the “Throne Breaker” tag team move by lifting him up and flipping him up and over the top rope and to the outside with a devastating German Suplex!
The referee escorts Jessie to her corner as Jin sizes up Eli. Min-jun spins towards his opponent, looking for the “Shot of Jin” (Black Mass/Reverse Spin Kick) but Griffin is able to dodge it at the last second. Eli drops into a low spin, looking to sweep the leg out from under Jin but the Legendary Champion sees it coming as he leans back, places a hand on the mat, and backflips to safety. Griffin meets him on the way up, doubling him over with a brutal kick to the ribs. Eli runs to the ropes, bouncing off as he leaps into the air, looking for the “Flight of the Griffin” (Corkscrew Axe Kick)! Min-jun pulls back at the last second, avoiding getting his head kicked off. Griffin lands and turns only for Jin’s foot to catch him flat across the face, the “Shot of Jin” (Black Mass/Reverse Spin Kick) connecting this time! Eli falls like a tree to the canvas as Min-jun drops into the cover…
One…
Two…
Three…!
Winners via Pinfall: Lee-Jin (Jessie Lee/Jin Min-jun)
Jessie Lee hops into the ring and goes to celebrate with her partner, Jin Min-jun, as a member of the ringside staff bring forth their title belts. Jessie takes both, briefly admiring the new Legendary Championship, before tossing it over to Jin. The two go to opposite turnbuckles and hoist their respective title belts high into the air as Krytos crawls into the ring to assist Eli Griffin, to the outside. The two brothers recover against the barricade as they look up enviously at the winners of this tag team bout. As the show begins to go off the air, the RevoTron lights up with the words Legacy flashing in its normal gold-hue. However, as the flashes begin to increase in frequency, the color begins to shift into a dark onyx tint. Min-jun stares at the RevoTron, nodding his head, clearly understanding the message’s intent and to whom it was directed to.
