Welcome to the 36th Animosity, live from San Diego! I am Jason Royal, Stan Brooks will be back next week for a special edition of Animosity. Things are going to be short tonight and I apologize on behalf of the TGW staff. It was thought that Stan would be back this week and it was a last minute decision for me to cover again tonight, leaving only with my small notepad to type on.
"Anti Matter" by NERD starts to play as the fans climb to their feet. Russell Francis hits the stage in his wrestling gear, ready for action tonight. He makes his way to the ring and only stops for a brief moment before climbing to the apron. He enters through the ropes and nods to his fans, pointing to the crowd and getting a mircophone.
Russell Francis: "Ladies and gentlemen, ever since No Limits, I have been going through a change and I just want to thank you all for helping adjust to me and the changes. I promise you guys, this is the new Russell Francis! Never again will I ever refer to myself as "the 'A' Game"."
Some members of the crowd boos at this notion.
Russell Francis: Look, guys! It's time for a change and tough decisions have to be made and that's why I'm out here before my match... AJ Adams, last week, I called you out and told you I was going to call you to the ring. Now, here's your chance! AJ, meet me in the ring, now!"
After a couple of moments, "City is at War" by Cobra Starship hits and AJ hits the stage. He makes his way to the ring, bewildered at what might happen. He enters the ring cautiously, keeping an eye on Francis just in case he wanted to attack.
Russell Francis: "AJ, let's face it, we've never seen eye to eye on anything. We could pretty much cuss each other to hell. You see, I know you were jealous of me, being able to hold on to something you couldn't get you hands on, the Volitionary Championship! I know that it got to you so badly, you cost me to lose it with giving me drugs in my water!
The fans boo to this, Russell speaking with passion, almost anger and rage in his voice.
Russell Francis: "I was pissed off to a new level. I never thought that I could ever get that mad at an individual in my life. I wanted to tear you from limb to limb and just watch you die in front of my eyes!"
The fans give Francis a huge pop.
Russell Francis: "And after a long period of time and reflection, I got you in this ring so I can say the one thing that I should have said a long time ago...."
Russell Francis has his hands clinched in a fist. AJ Adams, thinking that he's about to attack, gets into a defense pose. The fans are cheering...will Francis finally get his revenge?
Francis right hand relaxes to offer a handshake!
Russell Francis: "I want to say, I forgive you."
AJ Adams, much like the fans, are confused.
Russell Francis: "Look, after a couple of weeks, I understood why you did it. You see, in TGW, you have to do what you have to do to survive here and with all of the new talent Miss Taylor keeps trying to bring in, you have to bring others down to pull yourself up. I hate the fact that you did it to me but I can't diss you at all. Besides, Miss Taylor, ever since you became the Majority Owner of TGW, you've been bring in new talent to take the spots from trained veterans like Camisado, Adams, and...myself. Oh, you don't think I've notice what you're up to! You don't think the fans know what you're up to! You're trying to get rid of the veterans like me and Adams! You're attacking Adams now, but who's next! Are you going to take out me?
The fans give a mixed reaction to the statements of Francis!
Russell Francis: "AJ, I don't like what she's trying to do to you. She keeps throwing Burrows and other people out there to try to end your career while she puts me in the matches with losers and wannabees. Last week, I was the main event against a man who beat me as another person. Ain't that some crap? AJ, you're better than this! You know you deserve a shot at the TGW Titles just like anybody else! But as long as we have that bitch in control, we'll never get anywhere!"
The fans continue to give a mixed reaction.
Russell Francis: I want you to ponder something. If you try to fight Alli on your own, you're just going to be another victim of her devastation to this company. But, if you're serious about getting her out, I'm here to offer an helping hand! AJ, it's time that we join forces. I wouldn't call it a faction, that's just temporary. I say, it's time to form a SOCIETY! A society of wrestlers who want the best out of TGW, who want fair and equal shots at the championships, and most importantly, a society who wants to rid the evil out of power! AJ, let's leave the past in the past and form the new society that True Glory needs!
Francis extends his hands to AJ Adams. AJ looks down at Russell's hand and thinks about it but at the last moment, he backs away and gets out of the rings. He turns his back to Francis who still continues to tell him the offer is still on the table.
In the backstage area, Alli Taylor sits in her office and slams her hand down onto her desk. She pulls the receiver up from the phone, disconnecting the speaker phone.
Alli Taylor: "This is absolutely unacceptable, no way will that be our main event next week. Plus, she's not even under contract anymore. I don't care if that was the number one voted match by the fans, the fans don't know what they want. I could sent a freaking mime out there and make them the biggest star in the company. The other matches are fine, I don't care, but we'll just have to figure something else out for the main event....
Taylor pauses and lets the other end of the line speak, starting to chuckle.
Alli Taylor: "No, I'm not worried about Wade Mason trying to regain control of TGW. He can go to all the board meetings he wants but he won't be able to buy out my shares. Nor will any sort of personal war that AJ Adams is trying to pull, or the Sirens for that matter. I might not be able to fire those five people but I can force them out, just like I'll end up doing to AJ. Yeah, the Gavin Matthews thing didn't pan out but I'll figure something out. AJ will not see the end of the year in the TGW ring, take that to the bank.
Russell Francis Vs. Alistair Ambrosia
We switch back to Francis who has been waiting in the ring during the backstage break and Alistair makes his way to the ring. There is a fire in Francis' eyes as the bell sounds to start the match. Francis comes flying off the ropes and lands a hard clothesline as the fans cheer loudly. Ambrosia was caught off guard and Francis starts to connect with a barrage of lefts and rights. He pulls Alistair to his feet and sends him off the ropes, meeting him with a spinebuster before jumping to his feet and pounding his chest. Ambrosia starts to stand and Francis charges and connects with a running DDT that drops his opponent hard to the mat.
The energy of Francis is just too much for Ambrosia as he starts to get to his feet, the former Volitionary Champion hitting a hard kick to the shins of his opponent. Ambrosia swings and Francis ducks, lifting his opponent up and connecting with the Franchise Tag! He covers and picks up the win.
Winner Via Pinfall : Russell Francis
As Francis climbs to his feet, "U + Ur Hand" by Pink starts to blare over the speakers as Alli Taylor makes her way to the stage with a smile on her face. She pulls a microphone out from behind her back as the music cuts, the fans booing.
Alli Taylor: "That was a great speech you gave to start off the show, Russell. I'll make sure to address all of that when I'm good and ready. I do however have a reasoning to be out here that involves you. I thought it would be nice of me to announce one of the makes that the fans have voted on and will take place next week, right here on Animosity.
It is going to be a battle of former Volitionary Champions, the current Volitionary Champ, and a former TGW Champion and it will have a special stipulation. It will be a fatal four way match, just like the one that was scheduled for tonight, before we... lost a roster member. Leo Hayden will compete against former Volitionary Champions, Jessica Blake and Russell Francis... AND former TGW Champion, AJ Adams. If Blake, Francis, or Adams can win, they will become the number one contender for the Volitionary Title. If Hayden pulls off the victory, I will assure he gets a shot at one of the CWC or NWA Titles next month. Good luck, Russell."
Alli Taylor gets a mixed reaction from the fans, they love the announced match but still hate her. She turns and heads to the backstage area as Francis smiles in the ring.
Orange Star Vs. Jessica Blake
Star points to the sky as our match starts with the sound of the bell. Blake approaches Star and the two competitors lock up. Star flips his arm around and quickly locks in a headlock, looking to step into a hip toss. Blake flips over her opponent and looks for a monkey flip. Star flips and is able to land on his feet before running off the ropes as Blake stands. She drops back to her chest and Star jumps over her running. Blake pops to her feet and looks for an arm drag but Star flips her over and hits a scoop slam. Star jumps up and looks for a leg drop but Blake rolls out of the way.
She climbs to her feet and walks right into back elbow and a snapmare. Star jumps up and dropkicks the back of Blake and rolls to his feet. He pulls Blake to her feet and tries to lock her in position for a DDT but Blake spins out and hits a spinning kick to the gut. She hits the ropes and jumps up, hitting a spinning hurricanrana. Star goes rolling out of the ring and Blake goes chasing after him. She looks for a spear as Star starts to stand but he dodges her, sending Blake into the barricade. The fans nearby check on her and tell Blake to get up. Star approaches and pulls her up and lifts her up in a fireman's carry, maybe looking for his Eclipse (Fireman's Carry Stunner) but Blake tries to battle out with hard punches.
The meanwhile, the referee is counting them out and is about to 6 at this point. Blake is able to get off the shoulders of her opponent and slide into the ring. Star follows and Blake springboards off the middle rope and hits the modified Down to Earth (Leg Drop Bulldog). She covers!

Kickout! The fans can't believe it as Blake climbs to her feet, pulling Star up and he hits an uppercut. Star pops up and hits the Seeing Stars (Running Enzuigiri), making Blake stagger off the ropes. He charges again and hits his own running hurricanrana that sends Blake sliding under the ropes and fall hard to the floor. She rolls and lays on her back, Star climbing to the turnbuckle and points to the sky again. He dives, looking for the Orange Star Press, but Blake moves! She rolls out of the way and Star crashes hard to the floor as the fans gasp. The referee is up to 6 again and Blake rolls into the ring, leaning on the bottom rope as Star gets to his knees at 9. The referee hits 10 and Star isn't able to slide into the ring in time.
Winner Via Countout : Jessica Blake
Star and Blake stand in the middle of the ring as she gives him a pat on the shoulder before rolling out of the ring.
Leo Hayden Vs. Adrian Tanner Jr Vs. Aaron Rupp
We are all set for tonight's main event. This was originally scheduled as a fatal four way match including Natalie Burrows, but she was released by Alli Taylor earlier this week. Rupp is the last to make his way to the ring, toting his TGW Championship over his shoulder. He climbs in and the three men are ready to go, as am I. Hayden and Tanner start to share words as Rupp adjusts his boots. The bells sounds as Tanner strikes Hayden with a hard forearm and we are under way. Tanner pulls Hayden down and blasts him with a hard knee to the face, sending him into the corner after. Tanner turns and Rupp is ready to go. The two men lock up and Tanner tries to get the TGW Champ in a headlock, but Rupp lifts his opponent and hits a backdrop.
Rupp rolls to his feet and Tanner is right there ready to go again. Tanner charges but Rupp ducks and hits an inverted headlock into a backbreaker. Hayden comes out from the corner and the two champs are ready to go. They lock up and the two men try to over power each other until Hayden throws a wild headbutt into the chest of Rupp. The TGW Champ staggers backwards and hits the Rejection (Jumping Calf Kick). Hayden falls to the mat as Tanner is back to his feet ready to go. He approaches Rupp and hits a roaring elbow that sends him off the ropes and right into an exploder suplex. Tanner stands and out of no where comes Hayden with a dropkick off the top ropes. Hayden jumps to his feet and pulls Rupp up with him, hitting a few hard elbows the back of Rupp's head while he's doubled over. Hayden connects with a spinning neckbreaker on Rupp.
Tanner is climbing back to his feet and Hayden is ready for him. He grabs him and connects with the reverse STO on Tanner. Rupp is in the corner, taking his time to get to his feet as the crowd urges him on. Hayden climbs the top ropes and measures up Tanner before flipping and connecting with a moonsault!

Kickout! Tanner throws an am up as the fans gasp and Rupp is up. He pulls Hayden up and sets up a double armed DDT, Tanner getting to his feet. Tanner charges and Rupp drops Hayden before backdropping Tanner and jumping and spinning his way. Rupp climbs to the second rope and hits a diving leg drop. He tries to cover!

Hayden pulls Rupp off Tanner and our match continues. The Volitionary Champ locks up with Rupp and sends him off the ropes with an Irish whip, meeting him with a sitdown spinebuster. Rupp hits the mat hard as Tanner is making his way back to his feet. Hayden is up and kicks Tanner in the midsection before hitting a Russian Legsweep. Hayden climbs to the apron and flips over, hitting a slingshot legdrop on Tanner. Rupp is back to his feet and Hayden looks for a standing dropkick but Rupp pushes his feet our of the way. Hayden rolls to his feet and springboards off the ropes and looks for a modified Lethal Laughter, but Rupp ducks. Hayden lands on his feet and Tanner is back up, hitting the Volitionary champ with a hard right hand. Hayden spins around and headbutts the face of Tanner, sending him stumbling. Hayden hits a dropkick that sends Tanner into the corner. Rupp charges and hits a clothesline in the corner on Tanner. He turns around and hits a clothesline on Hayden as well.
The TGW Champ is all fired up and the crowd is loving it. Hayden is right back up though and kicks Rupp in the gut, setting him up for a powerbomb. Rupp lifts Hayden backwards and dumps him over the top rope! Hayden falls hard to the floor on the outside and up is Tanner. He comes looking for a spear but Rupp jumps up and over him, landing on his feet and planting. Tanner stops and before he can turn around, is hit with the Rupp Dat! Rupp covers!

Winner Via Pinfall : Aaron Rupp
Hayden is leaning on the barricade on the outside and just shakes his head, telling Rupp that he'll get him sooner or later.
Rupp's celebration is cut short when ''U + Ur Hand" hits the speakers, the crowd not at all shy about booing Alli Taylor as she emerges from behind the curtain and heads down the ramp with a mic in her hand. Climbing the steps to the ring, she waits a few seconds to allow the reigning TGW Champion to come over and get the ropes for her; when he doesn't do so, she scowls, climbing into the ring and stalking right up to him.
Alli: "Get out of my ring!"
Rupp gives the majority owner the sort of look one would usually give a pile of dog shit that has been stepped in, but ultimately he does as she demands, leaving Alli alone in the ring. Smirking confidently, she raises the mic to her lips and continues to speak.
Alli: "So it has come to my attention that Russell Francis has been running his mouth about me yet again, telling everyone that I'm out to get rid of anyone that I don't like… and you know what? He's right… but that doesn't mean that's what I have been doing. No, I am a fair and just manager that is only doing what needs done."
The crowd doesn't believe her - and why would they? Their boos and jeers only get louder.
Alli: "Take that recently fired bitch Natalie Burrows, for instance. That useless waste of space will no longer be disgracing our roster with her presence. You all can boo me until you're blue in the face - that doesn't change the fact that what I did was for the good of this company. Hell, one day? I'm sure you'll all thank me--"
'Fighter' plays, cutting off Alli Taylor… and when the Southern Belle appears at the top of the ramp, the roof damn near comes off of the arena as the fans cheer one of their favorites. Alli's expression turns sour as Natalie waves at the fans, a smile on her face… one that only chills a smidgen when she lifts her own mic to her lips.
Natalie: "I'm sorry for interrupting you, Miss Taylor… but I figured that you would appreciate it if I stopped you from making even more of a fool of yourself. Lord only knows that you need all the help you can get on that front."
Alli: "Haha, very funny Natalie. Now why don't you do something smart for once and get out of my arena?"
Natalie: "No."
Alli: "Fine, have it your way. Security! Security! Escort this piece of shit out of my arena!"
A few seconds pass… and nothing happens. The Southern Belle chuckles, shaking her head.
Natalie: "They won't be coming, Miss Taylor. Why would they? It is commonplace for one employee of any given company to talk to another, after all. And that is what I am, Miss Taylor; an employee of TGW, and that is something that you are absolutely powerless to change."
Alli: "Oh? And why is that?"
Natalie: "Let's just say that I have friends in high places… friends that are not at all content with how you are running things around here. It has become painfully clear that you are incapable of properly managing this company, and the fact that you have repeatedly ignored the warnings that have been given to you--"
Alli: "Shut up, you slut! You don't get to tell me what I should and shouldn't be doing! No one gets to do that to me!"
The Southern Belle sighs in the face of Alli's temper tantrum, shaking her head before turning her gaze directly to one of the cameras.
Natalie: "Mister Sound Guy, do me a favor and cut Miss Taylor's mic for me, please?"
Alli: "Don't listen to her! If you do what she says--"
Too late - the mic goes dead in Alli's hands, the audience laughing as she stomps her feet and continues carrying on in the middle of the ring. Natalie smiles into the camera.
Natalie: "Thank you kindly, sir."
Now that she is no longer in danger of being cut off, Natalie takes a moment to absorb the cheering of the fans before she continues to speak.
Natalie: "Since you are refusing to mend your ways, Miss Taylor, I suspect that you will be getting yours soon enough… but that isn't the only thing that I have come out here to announce. You see, the fans' votes have all been tallied. Since we both know that you are incapable of being honest about the results if they displease you - and trust me, they will - those friends in high places have decided to have me announce what the main event will be on the next Animosity. Next week, it will be myself versus Aaron Rupp..."
Alli can be vaguely heard shouting demands that Natalie not say another word… and, for once, the polite young woman completely ignores someone else, pressing on.
Natalie: "…and it will be for the TGW Championship!"
Alli's fit-throwing reaches a new extreme as the crowd cheers, knowing full well that the reigning champion will be quite pleased to give the rematch that he offered to Natalie... and judging by how she's smiling, she isn't quite done.
Natalie: "Oh, and one more thing. If you even so much as think about sticking your nose in my rematch or getting someone else to do your dirty work for you, Miss Taylor… then your little games will be over so fast that your head will spin. The fans have spoken, Miss Taylor… and you have no choice but to listen to them."
'Fighter' hits the speakers and the crowd cheers, Natalie coming down the ramp far enough to interact with some of those people whose voices have finally been heard while Alli glares daggers at her from the ring. It is this scene that the cameras focus on as everything fades to black.
