Stanton: No we do not Chris Condor. We don't have to cut back for anything. We're right into the next match.Kelso: Ladies and gentlemen, our next match is scheduled for one fall. Coming to the ring first, weighing in at 125 lbs. and representing Hollywood, California… ALISHA VAUSE!
Nelly's "Get Like Me" plays to the entrance of PURE's volcano handed inventor of slaps, who's dressed in baggy sweatpants, combat boots and a strapless tank top, and smoothly dances down to ringside. Alisha draws the flash of many professional photographers' cameras, and viewers either ogle or jeer the superstar. After finding her way across the apron and up a turnbuckle, Alisha poses with a warm smile in the way of a sculpted hero.
Kelso: And her opponent, weighing in at 223 lbs., and representing Hollywood, California… DIAMOND LEGEND!
The lights dim in the arena as all eyes motion to the ramp where the sides of the PureTron is flaring with the illusion of golden specs.

The PureTron shows the live feed of the show which the camera is panning around the arena before swiveling back to the ramp where Diamond Legend stands with his back turnt dressed in a golden and blue vest equipped with hood and matching trunks. Diamond slowly turns around and the sparks begin flying everywhere of many different colors before the last being pink. Through the cloud of smoke you can see the figures of Diamond Legend and Ed Lovet as they walk the aisle.
Finally the duo is visible as Diamond has lowered his hood. He smirks as he walks nonchantly and confident. Ed looking around the arena with that smirk still there. As they get to the ring Ed steps inside of it as both men still take in their jeers. Diamond walks around the ring jawing off with a few fans of PureTron before getting back to the steel steps and walking up them. Before stepping in the ring he looks back and smiles before waving a finger and stepping in the ring, standing in the center of it where the lights lower once more. The music stops as both men lower their heads and BOOM, from all four turnbuckles golden pyro burst as the music flares back up and Diamond begins a jog around the ring while talking with Ed ready to dual.
MATCH #5
Alisha Vause vs. Diamond Legend
The bell rings and Legend rushes in toward Alisha, but she telegraphs it and steps out of the way, catching Legend with a kick to the ribs as he turns around. He moves in and they lock up, with the larger Legend getting the upper hand and putting Alisha in a side headlock. She drives a few elbows into his midsection so he loosens the hold and then takes him down with a quick snapmare before running off the ropes and dropkicking Legend in the face. She is quick to her feet and Legend isn't far behind and the two lock up again before Legend sends Alisha into the ropes. She comes back and before she can do anything, Legend takes her down with a spinning heel kick. Both he and Alisha get right back up and stare each other down.
Stanton: Both Alisha and Legend are giving it all they have right now.
Condor: You really have a bad habit of giving people credit they don’t deserve. I’ve got the coffee brewing…wake me up with this snoozefest ends!
The two are right back into it, locking up and this time Alisha gets the advantage and throws Legend into the corner. She follows in with some forearm shots before stepping back and delivering a vicious back kick to him. As Legend staggers out of the ring, Alisha runs off the ropes and catches him with a leg lariat to take him down, and then she goes for a cover.

Stanton: Alisha's trying to end it as quick as she can here.
Condor: Well, she didn't want to waste her time with this match to begin with.
Alisha shakes her head, not happy she hasn't put him away yet, and waits for Legend to get up. As he does, she kicks him in the gut and grabs him in for a DDT, but Legend punches her in the gut, and she lets go, allowing Legend to kick her in the gut and then he raises a knee into her chin. Legend follows that up with a dropsault and then drops a leg over Alisha's neck before he goes for a cover.

As he steadies himself, Alisha moves in and grabs his leg taking him down with a dragon screw. Both of them are up and Legend swings at Alisha, but she ducks under and grabs him, hitting him with a neckbreaker! She covers.

KICKOUT!
Alisha gets up, hauling Legend up with her and Legend fires in a punch to the gut. He fires in another and another, but Alisha nails him with an elbow to the back. She bounces off the ropes and comes in with a big boot, but Legend ducks under her and spins her around to face him, dropping her with a spinebuster!
Stanton: A rare display of power right there.
Condor: That's the advantages of a smaller opponent. You can send them flying…I love a good flight.
Legend is slow to get up, clutching his ribs as he does, and by the time he reaches his feet Alisha is also up. She moves in and whips Legend into the corner, moving in and driving a knee into his gut. She lifts Legend up onto the top rope and climbs up with him, snarling out at the fans, looking for a hurricanrana, but before she can ready herself, Legend gets a forearm shot to her head. He follows that up with a second and a third and kicks out her leg for good measure. Alisha lands back on the mat on her feet and staggers a bit out of the corner, just enough for Legend to come off and catch her with a tornado DDT! He's down and is slow to cover.

Indeed, Legend isn't moving too well but Alisha is also down, the wind having been knocked out of her. She slowly crawls over to Legend and covers him.

FOOT ON THE ROPES!
Alisha rolls off Diamond, then hits the mat in anger. She has to take some time to recover some strength after the suplex, resting up in a corner as Diamond gets to his knees. Alisha comes out, going for a shining wizard, but Diamond manages to catch her leg and trip Alisha to the mat. Diamond is up, and in with an elbow drop. He goes up, and comes down with another, but Alisha rolls away, then hooks Diamond's arm for a hammerlock on the mat. She lays on top of him using all of her weight to force the arm up and keep Diamond down. She moves herself up to use her knee to keep the arm in place, then gets Diamond in a face very modified crossface. Diamond is stuck in the hold, pain cutting through his neck and his arm. Eventually he is able to roll himself up enough to force Alisha's knee off and get his arm free. He pushes up from the mat, Alisha falls off.
Diamond is back in control, wearing Alisha down with a range of holds. Satisfied that she's out of it, Diamond pulls her up and then hits her with a flipover neckbreaker. Alisha is down, but Diamond isn't letting up. He takes off and comes back, hitting Alisha with a Dropping elbow. He pulls Alisha in for the count.

She finally pulls herself up, stumbles to towards Diamond who comes off the turnbuckle with a missle dropkick. Alisha takes the hard shot, flying across the ring. As she pulls herself, this time it's Diamond who comes at Alisha with the Shining Wizard. He connects! Alisha looks out of it as she slumps back down to the mat. The flurry of offence from Diamond might just be enough to have worn Alisha down. He goes for the pin.

Alisha gets to the ropes!

Vause springboards up diving forward with a clothesline but Legend ducks underneath. Alisha lands on her feet as Legend charges. Alisha keeps running bouncing off the middle ropes, twisting in mid air, and nailing Diamond Legend with a springboard kneestrike to the face of Legend who was running at full speed!

Winner: Alisha Vause
We cut to the back where our Seattle audience roars at the sight of Aubrey J. Parker. AJP is leaning against the tile wall of a corridor just a few feet from her locker-room, a phone pressed to her ear as she softly carries a conversation.
AJP: I get it. You want me to be some kind of role-model for the kids and the soccer moms that are throwing money at us for this merch. Fine. But don’t ask me to--AJP pauses as someone yells at her on the other line. She starts to retort, but is interrupted by a coughing fit. After a few seconds and the hoarse clearing of her throat, Parker speaks into the phone again.
AJP: Yes, the Coke endorsement is still ‘a thing’, Justin. Wha-- and YES the Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles endorsement is real! You think I’d make something like that up?She rolls her eyes at this invisible person’s response.
AJP: Whatever. I’ll do any commercial you guys want, but don’t tell me what I can and can’t say in my wrestling interviews. Jeezus. As far as I’m concerned, what I do inside this arena has absolutely nothing to do with you, sooooo there! I’ll call you after I win my main event. Mmmkay? Ciao!She hangs up the phone and grunts to avoid another coughing spell, throwing a forearm up over her mouth for a second. With a sigh, she pivots and turns to proceed to her locker-room… but stops as she comes within an inch of bumping into the taller figure of the smiling,
beaming former World Champion, “The Promise” Anthony Bailey, who receives a pop from those watching in the arena. Parker crosses her arms and scoffs, shaking her head and looking away from him, not bothering to give him the satisfaction of making eye contact just yet.
AB: Heyyy, boo!
Bailey smiles as his poor mockery of Parker's voice garners some laughter from the audience. Parker frowns up at him for a moment before clearly forcing a smile, speaking in an artificially sweet voice.
AJP: Well, look at you, Kareem. I see you got rid of that moob issue you were workin' with in APW. Gotdamn. Been workin' out in the discount gymnasiums? Gimme your arm. Lemme feel.Parker smirks at Bailey and raises a hand, wiggling her fingers. Bailey simply shakes his head.
AB: Normally I would have been offended, but I'm used to your childish antics by now....so....ready to tango tonight?
Bailey does a funny looking dance gesture.
AJP: Hmmmm, I'm always ready, baby-boy, but yooouuuu seem to have forgotten that you have two left feet. I just hope you can keep up, because I'll be totes disappointed if you let little Ms. Thing kick your ass tonight and cost me a victory.AB: Cost you a victory?? Don't you mean me? I'm bound to the first ever World Champ Aubs, you know this. It's fate.
AJP: Hm. I'm sure that's what you believe, but time and time again, we go out to that ring, and when you and your buddies aren't there to hold each others'... hands... it's Aubrey J. Parker who walks away with the 'W'. And that's how it'll be tonight. It won't be you. Xianlong. Caliban. Ash. Just me crawling out of the wreckage and moving onto that Fatal Four Way. Just me, Bails...Bailey rolls his eyes and exhales in frustration.
AB: If you're as good as you claim to be, why can't you ever get the job done cleanly? A simple immaculate win will shut me up and appease me.AJP: Oh my God. You act like my debut didn't even happen! And don't judge me for adding some creativity to a wrestling match. Besides... Why do it clean when you can do it right?Parker sighs and glances at her watch.
AJP: It's stretch o'clock. Sooooo... I'm gonna walk away now. How about a kiss for good luck, boo?Parker stands on her tip-toes and puckers her lips out toward Bailey with a devious look behind her eyes. Bailey smirks down at her for a few seconds and then nods at some sort if internal revelation before striding past her without another word or action. Parker sinks down to the soles of her feet and laughs a bit, turning and shooting the departing Bailey a grin. Bailey turns and shoots Parker a tired look, shaking his head. Parker disappears into her locker-room and the camera fades away on the empty corridor.
MATCH #6
Allen "Portal" Bartsch VS "The Great" Jair Hopkins VS Maverick Jones
Kelso: Ladies and gentlemen this next match is our final triple threat contest of the evening, introducing first... "CAN YOU FEEL IT?"
Maverick's theme begins playing over the loudspeaker.
Kelso: From Edgewater, Maryland weighing in at 197 pounds, Maverick Jones!Maverick, covered in a web-like cloak steps out from behind the curtain. He stands under a shower of red sparks and throws the cloak off of him.
Stanton: This could have been the most unlucky guy in the building last week Condor: A lot of people had this guy pegged as a shoe in for the first qualifier but he suffered Bailey’s epic comeback, but you never know, we are a long way from having a champion.Maverick runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. He stays on the ground speaking to himself something no one else can hear. He shakes his head and stands up turning his gaze to the referee, starring him down.
Condor: A win this week will definitely put him back into the running.Kelso: Introducing next...APB’s music plays and he makes his way down the ramp
Kelso: Weighing in at 249 pounds, this is Allen “Portal” Bartsch, THIS IS APB!Stanton: You wanna talk about unlucky participants from last week, this dude got screwed out of the first ever main event in Pure Wrestling’s history Condor: That would explain his slightly more animated progress to the ring this week.APB stops at the bottom of the ramp and stands staring at the ring seething, breathing heavy, he then slaps himself on the side of the head a few times rapidly and shakes it off growling into the camera before entering the ring
Stanton: I don’t think APB intends to leave here without a win tonight.Kelso: And their opponent...“This is it (What?!)
Luchini pourin' from the sky
Let’s get rich (What?!)
The cheeky vines
The sugar dimes
Can’t quit (What?!)
Now pop the cork and steam the vega
And get lit (What?! What?! What?!)
Casually making his way from the back, Hopkins comes out at a ryhtmic pace with the music as he begins to “feel the vibe” of the crowd.
Stanton: This guy put on a show last week, the triple threat match with Aubrey and Madison was incredibleCondor: That match may have stole the show last week, but this week it’s 3 losers in the ring and not one of them wants to leave here the same way they came in.He does a slow spin-around as the fans greet him with cheers as he makes his way down the ramp. Slapping hands and blowing kisses to the females in attendance
Stanton: This is gonna be good.Kelso: From the “Concrete Jungle” in Brooklyn, New York, he stands at 5 feet, 8 inches and weighs in at 208 pounds. He is one-half of “The Dying Breed”, JAIRRR .... HOPKINSSS!!!Introducin' phantom of the dark,
Walk through my heaven with levitation
From efficient
and these leathers showboatin with Rugars
Flash vines Belafonte vigga
Let’s get for what it's worth
As we confiscate your figgas
Entering the ring as he stylishly poses on the apron he hops upon, he takes in the sight as he looks back at the entrance way. That bright, trademark smile of his shows as he makes his way into the ring. His braids flapping around as he jubilantly accelerates from one side of the ring to the next, bouncing up on the middle rope to the crowd, throwing up that unforgettable “TDB” hand sign. He hops down and hops the near turnbuckle before nodding in approval at the scenery. He hops off and back onto the canvas stretching out and watching his opponents in the ring
The bell sounds and all 3 men meet in the centre of the ring; APB and Maverick seem to circle Hopkins, Maverick is smiling but APB simply just looks like aggression personified, Maverick trash talks Jair a little and as Hopkins goes to answer APB super kicks Maverick in the temple and delivers a discuss lariat to the shocked Jair knocking him back into the corner. Maverick struggles back to his feet and APB hauls him into position before belly to belly suplexing him into the corner Jair is standing stunned in
Condor: APB is cruising to give a bruising tonight.Stanton: Jair’s nose is busted open Mavericks foot must have collided with his face when he went over!Jair Hopkins stumbles out of the corner walking over Mavericks chest to do so and gets just thrown into the mat at high velocity and locks in a grounded bear hug to the smaller man,
Stanton: Hopkin’s whose abdomen must be screaming after taking that crash in the corner is just reaching out for anything to hold onto to keep himself in this match.Condor: APB is on a vicious streak tonight, its freaking awesome too, just look at the way he wraps his legs round Hopkins knees when he is grounded like that and portal is just grinding the side of his knees together while pushing in on his ribs also making those 2 sets of bones grind together, it would make this unbearable for his opponent.Maverick comes back to his senses after about 30 seconds of Jair screaming at him to break it up and quickly grabs Hopkin’s ankle opting to join in on the assault with an ankle lock, realising that this wont give him the win he waits a few seconds to really build up the agony of Hopkins and then whilst holding the ankle, stomps on APB’s head 3 times forcing the rabid wrestler to break the hold. Somehow in the confusion Hopkin’s rolls through the ankle lock and retreats out of the ring
Condor: Jair making possibly the smartest decision we have seen thus far and got his ass out of dodge. Stanton: Exactly the only issue now is if he has enough left in him to get back in this at some point but he hasn’t moved since he fell off the ring apron crawling from the ring.Maverick tries to take advantage of a downed APB and makes for the top rope.
Stanton: APB is out for the count! Maverick up top, what's he got planned here?!Condor: If I know Maverick, it's a picture perfect moonsault!Just as the bird man prescribes, Maverick nails a beautiful moonsault and crashes down on top of APB in a big way.

Stanton: Someone wanna tell me how Jones is still breathing?!Condor: NEVER MIND KICKING OUT!Hopkins barrels across the ring cannonball style ramming into APB and both men tumble to the outside.
Stanton: Maverick did it! He weathered the storm and finally he gets some desperately needed
Separation.Jones stays down as his opponents brawl on the outside rolling on the ground
Condor: These guys are way past wrestling moves right now, both men have been cost wins and broken up each other’s pins.Stanton: This match is important. What else can you say?Jones can be seen in the background collecting himself as the fight on the outside escalates and APB gets whipped face first into the ring post, as the fight congregates in that area we switch to the ring and Jones hauling himself up in the corner opposite
Stanton: 197 pound of what can only be described AS ENDURABILITY!Jones does the big over the turnbuckle and ring post flip dive taking out both men below him
Crowd: HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT!
Condor: AND HE IS ON HIS FEET LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!Jones is very quick to lift APB and roll him into the ring leaving Hopkins in a heap outside the ring he jaws with the fans before leaping over the top rope into the ring, APB kips up in an attempt to meet him but…
Condor: That folks is Natural Selection!Stanton: Straight knee to the jaw! Pin!1…

Condor: Very, very tough match and a great display of waiting for your moment, Jones knew what he had to do tonight, nothing pretty, although some of it was, just bring the pain and walk out a winnerStanton: and he definitely deserves it, great, great effort, if that wasn’t a qualifying performance I can’t tell you what is!Condor: It could well be Stanton but that’s for much more intelligent men than you to decide!
