NIKKI: Time for our main event Paris.
PARIS: I know, but I think only half of it is able to make it to the ring right now. In any event, I’m told the
ring announcer is ready with the introductions. Take it away.
ANNOUNCER: Introducing first, hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia, she stands five feet-four
inches tall and weighs in at one hundred twenty-seven pounds, she is the A.F.W. World Champion; here
is the Canadian Crippler, Ocean Bloom!
Ocean wore a black vinyl halter top with collar and a red maple leaf over each breast, a pair of matching
black vinyl shorts with a wide red waistband and her name stenciled on the rear, knee-high black
wrestling boots with red maple leafs on each and black wristlets with red trim. Over her left shoulder lay
the world championship belt; the gold strap glistened in the arena’s overhead lights.
OCEAN: Alright you losers, listen up.
The chorus of boos for the champion increased tenfold just before a ‘TRAMP’ chant rang out.
OCEAN: I can wait……
The ‘TRAMP’ chant suddenly changed to ‘SKANK’……
OCEAN: ….all night if I have to…….
…….and finally that chant died out only to be replaced with a ‘SLUT’ chant.
OCEAN: because I am the champ here and if you want to see somebody try to take this gold from me
tonight, you will SHUT THE HELL UP!!!
Thunderous jeers rained down upon the champion for a few seconds until the buzz started to subside
and Ocean got her wish.
OCEAN: That’s better. Many of you out there seem to hate me…..but that’s just jealousy. The women
wish they could be me and the men just want me. And that’s understandable…..I am the Goddess of pro
wrestling……brains, brawn and beauty…..the perfect combination. Even here in the entertainment
capital of the world, I have no equals.
Again, a chant of ‘SLUT’ rang out but quickly faded out.
OCEAN: I am out here because my original opponent, Denise Masino seems to have met with an
unfortunate accident. But it’s just as well…..if she had stayed out of the business of the House of Pain, I
would have pulverized her much like I did back in the FWF. In fact, if it weren’t for her nasty little friends
in Latina Heat, she would have been retired permanently. But as we showed earlier tonight, the House of
Pain never forgets and always settles their scores.
More jeers filled the arena until an ‘OCEAN SUCKS’ chant rang out. As it did, a seething Ocean paced
back and forth in the ring.
OCEAN: You are confusing me with these whores here in Lost Angeles.
Once more, the boos reached a crescendo then slowly began to fade.
OCEAN: Now, despite the fact you losers don’t deserve it, I am going to defend this title here tonight
(loud pop). The last time I did this, a blonde bimbo with big, floppy tits started something that I finished
by dropping her on her empty head. So once again, I will show why I am the number one wrestler in the
world today by defending the title against a mystery opponent from the back. The only criteria will be that
the challenger cannot have made an in-ring or ringside appearance tonight. Now I know that leaves a
rather thin field, but this is the opportunity of a lifetime and-
MYSTERY OPPONENT: Bloom, you talk too damned much.
The lights beneath the JumboTron monitors went dark as a figure emerged from backstage and a buzz
among the crowd rose.
MYSTERY OPPONENT: I went over the General Manager’s head and got the approval of the
Chairwoman of the Board so tonight….you get to hold your new title for the first……..and last time. And
guess what else? She sent your crew home for the night. No more House of Pain and no more excuses.
OCEAN: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
Suddenly, the lights on the stage went on and as they did, Ocean’s eyes widened in shock; it was Gail
Kim!

OCEAN: WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?
Suddenly, the lights on the stage went on and as they did, Ocean’s eyes widened in shock; it was Gail
Kim!
| EPISODE 1 |
GAIL: It's time to play, Ocean.
Gail threw down her microphone, stormed down the ramp while she ignored the hi-five requests from her
fans along the way and then slid into the ring. She shucked off her trademark trenchcoat and came face
to face with Ocean before Sasha wedged in between them and backed the challenger toward her
corner. The tiny official quickly checked Gail for weapons and then instructed her for the match.
DING!
Both women sped from their corners, intent on leveling their opponent. However, Gail ducked beneath
Ocean’s grasp, stopped in her tracks, then leapt into the air and nailed the Canadian Crippler with a
wicked spin kick that sent the champion crashing to the mat. Swiftly, Gail bounced off the ropes and
delivered a sliding dropkick to Ocean’s back; the move sent the champion rolling across the ring as the
fans cheered on the sexy Asian.
Before Ocean could regain her feet completely, Gail moved in and nailed the champion with a European
uppercut that caused Ocean to stagger back into the ropes. The Asian beauty moved in and laced the
champion with a second uppercut that seemed to be on the verge of sending the blonde crashing to the
canvas before she righted herself only to be hammered with a third uppercut.
NIKKI: Wow! Gail has started out like a house of fire.
PARIS: Lemme see……a little fire against an ocean………….hmmmmm, I wonder who will win?
With Ocean staggered, Gail grabbed the champion by the wrist and led her away from the ropes. A
second later, the Asian dynamo pulled the blonde into a bone-jarring short-armed clothesline that sent
the champion to the mat once more. As a stunned Ocean struggled to sit up, Gail moved behind the
blonde and slammed a vicious soccer-styled kick between the champion’s shoulderblades, causing the
Canadian Crippler to arch her back in agony. A second kick from the challenger followed which sent
Ocean rolling across the canvas with Gail in hot pursuit.
As Ocean rolled onto her hands and knees, Gail deftly moved behind the champion. The challenger
grabbed a handful of the Canadian’s blonde tresses before she placed a knee behind Ocean’s head and
then drove the champion’s face into the canvas with her KOREAN DRIVER [kneedrop/facebuster
combo]. Gail kipped back up quickly as Ocean clutched at her face on the mat. When the Canadian
Crippler finally rose onto the back of her knees, a thin trail of blood streamed from the blonde’s left nostril.
NIKKI: Uh-oh, Gail has drawn first blood.
PARIS: She’s signing her own death warrant. Nobody gets away with doing that to Ocean.
Just as Ocean leaned forward, Gail ran toward the champion and nailed her with a running kneelift that
had the blonde seeing stars. Ocean was given no respite as Gail moved in and hit her with a running
kneedrop across the forehead that Ric Flair would have been envious of. Again, Ocean sputtered
across the canvas, trying to clear her head and regroup.
The Canadian Crippler was still dazed and trying to pick up the Asian beauty was when Gail sped toward
her, did a stutter step, jumped up and nailed the blonde with her finisher, the GK1 [Shining Wizard Kick].
The blow nailed Ocean on the left side of her head and the champion crashed to the mat almost in slow-
motion. Quickly, Gail covered her foe and waited for Sasha to make the count.
ONE…
TWO…
TH-
Ocean powered out of the pin attempt by throwing Gail off her with force, then rolling toward the ropes so
that a counter attack would not be allowed.
NIKKI: Gail nearly pulled off a stunning upset there. I think that Ocean may have underestimated her.
PARIS: Nitwit…she didn’t even know who she was going to face.
Gail checked with Sasha about how close the count was before she attacked Ocean again as she
yanked up the champion and laced into her with another knife-edged chop to the chest. With the
champion backed against the ropes, Gail grabbed the blonde by the wrist and whipped her across the
ring. As Ocean rebounded, Gail bent over for a back body drop, but Ocean read it perfectly and nailed
the challenger with a gourd buster. Gail hit the mat and the Canadian Crippler was on her in an instant.
Ocean whipped Gail into ropes and when the challenger rebounded, the Canadian Crippler nearly took
her head off with a wicked clothesline. The champion quickly yanked her dazed foe up and whipped her
into the ropes once more. This time, as Ocean went for a second clothesline, Gail ducked underneath
the blow, dropped to the canvas and nailed the champion with a reverse martial arts kick to head.
Gail kipped to her feet quickly and moved behind the champion. The Asian scooped Ocean into the air
and then slammed her down, executing a picture-perfect across the knee backbreaker. Not wasting a
second, Gail yanked Ocean off the canvas and then locked on THE KOREAN STRETCH [modified
Abdominal Stretch]. As Gail poured on the pressure, Ocean strained against the challenger’s grip while
Sasha moved in to ask the champion if she wanted to submit.
NIKKI: I doubt this will get Ocean to quit, but I’m sure it is quite uncomfortable.
PARIS: Just a temporary setback. Ocean will be free in a jiffy.
After nearly a minute, Ocean managed to dislodge Gail’s leg and hip-toss the challenger to the mat
before she dropped to her knees herself. As Ocean got to her feet, Gail crashed into her left leg with a
chop block and sent the champion to the canvas once more. The challenger moved quickly and locked
on another one of her finishers, THE OCTOPUS [Brock Lock/half crab combo].
As Gail increased the torque on Ocean’s leg and spine, the champion screamed out her agony while she
immediately tried to crawl toward the ropes. Inch by inch, Ocean ignored the current of agony that
racked her body and crawled toward salvation while Sasha leaned in and badgered her if she wanted to
submit. Each time, the champion screeched out a ‘no’ before resuming her desperate crawl.
With each lurch, Ocean ignored her agony and continued to inch toward the ropes and relief from her
torture. Just as Ocean came within a foot of the ropes, Gail leaned into her foe and increased the
pressure. The blonde felt as though her knee was about to be dislocated while her spine screamed for
release. Still, the champion’s heart willed her to continue inching toward the ropes.
When she was about four inches away from reaching her goal, Ocean’s movements ceased. Sweat
poured off her body but there was no movement from the blonde. Sasha moved in and lifted Ocean’s
arm. Limply, it fell to the mat. A second check produced the same result. When Sasha checked a third
time, Ocean’s arm started to drop when it stopped in mid-flight. With a banshee scream, Ocean lifted
herself off the canvas and lurched forward to grab the bottom rope. Immediately, Sasha ordered Gail to
release her opponent.
NIKKI: That had to really hurt. Ocean may not be the same for the rest of the match.
PARIS: Ocean is a legend. She won’t quit unless her leg has been ripped off.
Ocean, as she clutched at the ropes like a drowning person would a life preserver, began to pump her
leg to try to restore feeling in the limb. As she did, Gail tried to move in but Sasha moved in and warned
the challenger. Finally, when Ocean got to her feet, Gail moved in and grabbed her by the wrist.
Abruptly, the Asian beauty pulled the blonde into a stiff short-armed clothesline. With Ocean down, Gail
raced over to the adjacent corner and climbed to the top. As she tensed, ready to land a rocket
dropkick, Gail was shocked as Ocean leapt to her feet, raced over the corner and scaled it. The
champion locked her arms around Gail, spun around and leapt off as she nailed the Asian beauty with a
thunderous top rope belly to belly suplex that had the fans yelling a ‘HOLY SHIT’ chant.
Both women lay on the canvas unmoving as Sasha began her count. At four, both Ocean and Gail
began to stir. As both women struggled to stand, Ocean was a bit ahead of her opponent. Slowly, the
champion limped toward Gail who was still arching her back from the slam she had taken. When the
challenger leaned in to lock up with Ocean, the blonde ducked down, grabbed Gail and lifted her into air.
A second later, Ocean drove Gail into the canvas with a devastating Dominator slam.
With a sneer on her face, Ocean yanked Gail off the canvas and scooped her onto her shoulder. The
champion backed into the near corner and then ran forward and drove the Asian beauty into the mat with
a running powerslam. Relentless, Ocean yanked Gail up and onto her shoulders once more. A second
later, the Canadian Crippler had driven Gail into the canvas with a second running powerslam. Still, the
blonde wasn’t done. The champion lifted Gail onto her shoulder again and delivered a third running
powerslam, completing her finisher THE OCEAN’S WAVE [3 consecutive powerslams]. Ocean casually
lay across her opponent for the pin as Sasha leapt into position.
ONE…
TWO…
TH-
At the last second, Gail lifter her shoulder and interrupted the count as a frustrated Ocean screamed at
Sasha for not counting fast enough.
NIKKI: Ocean nearly had Gail there, but her laziness cost her. Always hook your opponent’s leg.
PARIS: I’d like to give you the hook.
Seething, Ocean yanked Gail up and locked on an armbar. Rapidly, the champion slammed clubbing
blows into the shoulder of her foe; the force drove the Asian grappler to one knee. Abruptly, Ocean
spun around and wrenched Gail’s arm with a Dragon arm-whip. The challenger rolled back and forth on
the canvas as she clutched at her throbbing arm.
Wasting no time, Ocean jerked the agonized challenger to her feet and locked on a hammerlock. The
blonde then slid around so that they were face to face with the hammerlock still locked on. With a smile
on her face, Ocean jerked Gail into the air and over her head with another belly to belly suplex; the Asian
beauty’s arm bore the brunt of the impact. Instinctively, Gail rolled toward the ropes and out of the ring,
shaking her arm to restore feeling as she turned her back on the ring and staggered a few steps away.
NIKKI: Smart move by Gail to bail. Ocean can’t win the match on the floor.
PARIS: Idiot. She doesn’t have to win the match to keep her title, but she can pulverize Gail outside the
ring.
Gail was still trying to regain the feeling in her left arm when Ocean exited the ring and attacked her from
behind. A clubbing forearm from the champion sent the Asian beauty sprawling across the thinly padded
arena floor. Ocean pounced on the dazed challenger, grabbing a handful of hair and hauling her prey
up to her feet. Despite Gail’s objections, the Canadian Crippler grabbed Gail by her wrist and whipped
her into the steel ringside steps; the impact resounded throughout the arena.
With Gail defenseless for the moment, Ocean raced over to where the timekeeper sat and promptly
shoved the timid-looking man off his seat. The champion then folded up the steel chair and headed over
toward her opponent with the weapon in hand. Gail was still grimacing from her meeting with the steel
steps as she struggled to stand. Just as Gail looked up, Ocean swung from her heels and smashed the
steel chair over the challenger’s head. The sickening sound of the impact echoed across the arena as
Gail immediately collapsed in a heap.
NIKKI: OH MY GOD!!! Ocean just killed Gail.
PARIS: Ah, such sweet music to my ears.
Ocean had a Cheshire cat’s grin on her face as she tossed aside the dented steel chair and encouraged
the already jeering crowd to shower her with even more verbal abuse. While the champion and the fans
jousted verbally, Gail somehow started to rise. As she got to her hands and knees, everybody could see
the damage as a stream of blood dripped from her still unseen face onto the arena floor. But when the
Asian grappler staggered over to the edge of the ring, many in the front row of the crowd recoiled at her
visage. Blood poured from a wound in the middle of her forehead and streamed down her face onto her
arms, chest and stomach.
The Canadian Crippler spun around and headed for the dazed Korean beauty. With a handful of her
opponent’s hair, Ocean led the bloodied grappler over to the announcers table.
NIKKI: Uh-oh…..time to leave Paris.
PARIS: I’m already gone.
A clubbing blow from the champion sent the challenger sprawling across the table while Ocean climbed
atop the structure. With a maniacal expression on her face, Ocean pulled Gail up and locked on a
standing headscissors. The blonde juggernaut wrapped her arms around Gail’s waist and hoisted her
into the air so that her feet were pointed toward the lights. A second later, Ocean sat straight down and
drove Gail’s skull into the announcers table with a devastating piledriver, reducing it to a pile of rubble
and eliciting ‘HOLY SHIT’ chants.
As Ocean emerged from the wreckage, Gail still lay twitching in the remnants of the announcers table;
the wound on her forehead had now become a gash and blood still streamed from it as it ran down her
face and soaked her outfit and body. Slowly, the Canadian Crippler sauntered over and looked down at
her semi-conscious victim.
OCEAN: You see what happens when you try to fuck with the best? Look at you……bloody and
broken. I could end your career now if I wanted to but I’ve got plans for later tonight. It’s time to finish
this off.
Ocean reached down and grabbed her bloody opponent by the hair and hauled her toward the ring. The
champion shoved the barely conscious Gail into the ring and quickly followed her in. Some in the crowd
began to chant Gail’s name in the hope of reviving her, but to no avail. With a sneer on her face, Ocean
nudged the Asian grappler with her boot before she continued her attack.
Laboriously, Ocean pulled Gail up and locked on a front facelock. The Canadian Crippler grabbed a
handful of the challenger’s blood stained shorts and hoisted her into the air. Displaying her strength,
Ocean held Gail aloft and then began to spin around before she dropped straight down, driving her
opponent’s head into the canvas with her finisher, BLOOM’S BASH [corkscrew suplex piledriver]. Gail
spasmed briefly before she stopped moving. With utter disdain, Ocean flexed her biceps while she knelt
with one knee pressed across the challenger’s chest and the referee jumped into position to make the
count.
ONE…
TWO…
THR-
At the last second, Gail snapped to action and pushed Ocean off her before rolling onto her stomach.
Slowly, Gail rose onto her hands and knees before she began to crawl toward the ropes, leaving a trail of
blood behind.
NIKKI: She kicked out! She kicked out!
PARIS: Calm down and have a valium. You didn’t just win the lottery you know.
Irate, Ocean jumped to her feet and followed Gail over to the ropes. Once there, the Canadian Crippler
began stomping away at her fallen foe. As Sasha began her count, Ocean primarily applied the boot to
Gail’s forehead, keeping her blood flowing down her face. When Sasha reached four, the Canadian
Crippler backed up a step before she started in again. This time, Ocean pulled Gail’s left arm away from
her body, stepped on her open palm and began stomping away on the Asian’s arm as she screamed out
her agony. At four, Ocean relented for a moment only to move in a third time and target the challenger’s
left arm again.
When Ocean moved in again, she yanked her agonized victim to her feet; Gail holding her throbbing arm
close to her body. Facing the challenger, Ocean yanked Gail’s left arm up behind her while she scooped
the bloodied Asian into her arms. With her opponent’s arm behind her, Ocean bodyslammed Gail to the
mat, eliciting a howl of agony from the Asian beauty as her left arm bore the brunt of the impact.
NIKKI: Ocean means to make Gail’s left arm useless.
PARIS: Ocean means to make Gail’s arm broken I think.
Pressing her attack, Ocean stomped away at Gail’s arm once more as the bloody grappler tried to cover
up. Abruptly, Ocean stopped, grabbed a handful of her challenger’s hair and yanked her up. The
Canadian powerhouse then scooped Gail into her arm and onto her shoulders. Ocean positioned her
challenger before she stepped forward and dropped the Asian shoulder-first onto her knee with a
textbook shoulderbreaker; the move eliciting another howl of agony from Gail.
As Gail writhed on the canvas holding her arm, Ocean motioned to the crowd with a throat-cutting
gesture that she was going to end the contest. Again, the blonde yanked her victim to her feet courtesy
of a handful of hair. Ocean then spun Gail around and applied a double hammerlock before lifting the
challenger into air and locking on her finisher, FATHOM PRESSURE [elevated double hammerlock]. A
shrill scream came from Gail’s lips as she shook her head from side to side; her left arm feeling as
though it were being ripped from its socket. Still, when Sasha moved in and asked the bloody wrestler is
she wanted to give up, Gail managed to hiss out a ‘NO’ before her chin slumped onto her blood-soaked
chest.
A battle of wills ensued as Ocean struggled to maintain the hold and Gail tried to block out the pain long
enough for her foe to weaken and let her go. Seconds ticked by as blood continued to flow down Gail’s
agony-wracked face and her arm throbbed mercilessly. Meanwhile, Ocean’s arms began to tremble as
her muscles reached their limit and begged for a break. Finally, after nearly two minutes, Ocean
dropped her foe to the canvas and backed into the ropes flexing her arms in an effort to keep them from
locking up while Gail curled into a fetal ball on the mat holding her damaged left arm.
NIKKI: Gail is in bad shape, but I have to give her credit; she did not give up even thought I bet her arm
wishes she had.
PARIS: Her arm? I think all of her wishes she hadn’t taken this match.
The Canadian Crippler advanced on her opponent with a look of pure hatred on her face. Ocean
yanked Gail to her feet, spun her around and drove a stiff forearm into the challenger’s back. Before
Gail could collapse, Ocean’s left hand snaked out and grabbed the bloody Asian by her hair to hold her
up. A second and third forearm followed as spasms racked Gail’s legs and a torrent of agony ran up and
down her spine. Finally, Ocean pushed her opponent into the ropes and when she staggered back,
drove another forearm smash into her back; this one sent her crashing to the canvas.
Several fans bawled up their programs and began to litter the ring with them, one of which landed against
Ocean’s left leg. The blonde turned toward the crowd, spit in their direction before continuing her attack.
Once more, the champion hauled her challenger to her feet and shoved her into the nearby corner.
Ocean moved in, climbed to the second rope and began raining down stiff punches into Gail’s forehead,
opening up the gash further and causing more blood to flow.
NIKKI: This is too much. Gail is losing too much blood and I think Sasha should stop this match.
PARIS: Wow….yet again we agree on something.
Sasha warned Ocean as she quickly began her count. At four, the champion jumped down and retreated
as the tiny official gave her an earful and Gail slumped in the corner, held up only by the ring ropes.
Again, the Canadian Crippler moved in and climbed to the second rope. This time, she leaned forward
and sank her teeth into Gail’s forehead, tearing open the gash further and eliciting sickening screams
from the tortured Asian. Sasha, stunned by Ocean’s brutality, stood transfixed for a few seconds before
she started to count.
Gail’s hands clenched and unclenched and her left leg shook uncontrollably as the champion tore into
her flesh. Finally, Sasha’s count reached four and the champion jumped down and backed away while
the small official moved in to examine Gail’s wound. After she did, Sasha pleaded with Gail to stop the
match but the blood soaked grappler hissed back a defiant threat and the match continued.
With Gail still slumped in the corner, Ocean backed into the center of the ring before her eyes narrowed
and she sprinted toward her target. At the last possible second, two things happened; Ocean left her
feet intent on landing a bone shattering spear on the challenger in the corner and secondly, Gail’s
instincts kicked in and she leapt out of the way of the champion. Ocean’s eyes barely had time to widen
in fear before she flew between the top and second turnbuckles and slammed shoulder-first into the steel
ringpost; a bloodcurdling scream escaping her lips upon impact.
NIKKI: Yes! Somehow Gail moved out of harm’s way and Ocean paid the price. This may be the
opening that Gail needed.
PARIS: I think Gail is gonna need a transfusion after this match. As for Ocean, this is only a temporary
setback.
The Canadian Crippler lay on the ropes with her throbbing right arm hanging down while Gail slowly
staggered to her feet. Even through her bloody visage, Gail’s expression told everybody in the building
that she was about to pay Ocean back in spades. The Korean beauty exited the ring and walked along
the ring apron until she reached her opponent. Gail grabbed Ocean’s right arm, locked on a fingerlock
and took a step backwards before she raced forward and leapt toward the steel ringpost. Gail slammed
Ocean’s arm into the ringpost before she landed on the arena floor and pulled down on the limb eliciting
a bloodcurdling scream from the champion. The blonde powerhouse rolled through the ropes and fell
onto the arena floor clutching wildly at her arm while still screaming in short bursts.
The challenger wasted no time in continuing her attack as she came up behind the kneeling Ocean,
grabbed her by her injured arm and spun forward with a Dragon arm whip, further hyper-extending the
limb. Again, Ocean screamed out as her feet beat a tattoo into the thin mats that covered the arena floor
around the ring. Still, Gail was not finished with her revenge.
NIKKI: Gail has murder in her eyes and I'm afraid of what that means for Ocean.
PARIS: It's way past time for that munchkin of a referee to disqualify Gail. She has been getting away
with murder.
Despite Ocean’s protests, Gail grabbed her foe by her injured right arm and pulled her toward the
ringpost once again. The challenger threaded Ocean’s arm though and then violently pulled the
champion toward the ringpost until her shoulder slammed into the unforgiving metal. Finally, Gail
slammed the limb into the ringpost; the impact causing Ocean to scream out again. However, before
Ocean could remove her arm, Gail grabbed it again and repeated the move. This cycle continued
another three times before Ocean slumped to her knees, her right arm still draped over the lower
ringpost connector as she fought to hold back tears of pain.
Sasha finally exited the ring and ordered the challenger to bring the action back inside the ring. With a
handful of the champion’s hair and shorts, Gail rolled Ocean back into the ring and rolled in behind her.
The challenger wiped the blood from her eyes and pulled Ocean to her feet and then led her over to the
ropes. Gail draped Ocean’s damaged right arm over the top rope and as she did, the champion reacted
with a left forearm to the side of the bloodied grappler’s head. Gail responded with a knife-edged chop
that snapped Ocean’s head back and could be heard around the arena.
Working quickly, the Asian challenger draped Ocean’s other arm over the top rope and with the
Canadian Crippler trapped on the ropes, began to hammer the champion with a flurry of martial arts
chops and thrusts to the blonde’s torso and face. Fists and chops smashed into Ocean’s chest,
stomach, shoulders, jaw and chin until Gail tensed for a second and then leapt into the air and nailed the
champion with a wicked spin kick right across her jaw that finally sent the blonde crashing to the canvas
face first. Gail quickly rolled the Canadian Crippler onto her back, hooked her leg and waited for Sasha
to make the count.
ONE…
TWO..
TH-
Ocean powered out, using her left arm to shove Gail away and stop the count.
NIKKI: I really thought Gail had the win there. What is it going to take to put Ocean down?
PARIS: More than Gail has.
Still, Gail continued her assault as she yanked Ocean to her feet and laced into her with another series
of European uppercuts, each one harder than the previous one and each backed the champion closer to
the ropes. When Gail grabbed Ocean by the wrist to whip her across the ring, the Canadian Crippler
quickly reversed the move, stopped in her tracks and pulled the challenger into the a stiff knee to the
stomach, doubling over the game Asian grappler.
After taking a second to shake some feeling back into her right arm, Ocean immediately tested the limb
as she scooped Gail into the air for what seemed to be a side slam. Instead, Gail used the momentum to
flip around onto Ocean’s shoulder while she whipped her legs around the champion’s head, grabbed the
blonde’s tortured right arm and locked on her finisher, THE FLYING DRAGON [tilt-a-whirl
headscissors/armbar combo].
Immediately, Ocean began to protest as Gail pulled back on her arm with one hand while she dug into
her forearm muscle with the other hand. Slowly, but surely the pain became excruciating and Ocean
tried to stagger toward the ropes and salvation. However, it was then Gail tightened her headscissors,
cutting off the blood flow to Ocean’s brain. Wooziness set in and the champion dropped to one knee,
then both knees as her grip on the championship began to fade like her consciousness.
Sasha was right on the spot and repeatedly asked the champion if she wanted to submit. Each time,
Ocean said no but each response was a little less audible than the previous one. Finally, Ocean pitched
forward as Gail continued to apply the pressure in the hope that the champion would submit or pass out.
Just when the latter seemed about to become a reality, Ocean managed to snake out her left hand and
grab the bottom rope as an audible sigh rose from the Gail fans in the audience while Ocean’s followers
cheered her on.
NIKKI: Damn her! Damn that Ocean! I don’t know how she survived that hold.
PARIS: (audible sigh) That….that was close. But now you know why Ocean is a living legend.
Gail had barely released Ocean when she grabbed two handfuls of hair and yanked her out toward the
center of the ring. Quickly, the bloodied challenger scooped the blonde into her arms and then slammed
the champion down across her knee with a textbook across-the-knee backbreaker. Ocean wailed upon
impact and then slid off Gail’s knee onto the canvas.
Swiftly, Gail grabbed Ocean’s arm, wrapped it around her leg as she rolled the champion onto her
stomach while stepping over her. The challenger spun around and then knelt down while she grabbed
the blonde’s right leg and cinched in her finisher, THE TRAUMA CYCLE [hammerlock/half Boston crab
combo]. Currents of pain shot up and down Ocean’s spine as Gail leaned back and cinched in the
submission move.
Sasha lay on the canvas inches from Ocean’s face as she closed her eyes and tried to block out the
pain. Each time the diminutive official asked the blonde if she wanted to submit, the champion hissed out
a ‘no’. Using her free limbs, Ocean began crawling toward the ropes and safety. The seconds ticked by
as the champion ignored her pain and continued her progress. Finally, just when it seemed like her
spine was going to snap, Ocean reached out and grasped the bottom rope. Immediately, Sasha tapped
Gail on her shoulder to release the hold. She complied almost instantly.
NIKKI: I don’t believe this. Ocean must have a guardian angel helping her because Gail is throwing the
book at the champion.
PARIS: She’s going to need something heavier than a book. Maybe an anvil will do.
NIKKI: Who are you? Wile E. Coyote?
With Ocean still in pain, Gail yanked the champion up and hoisted her onto her shoulder. However,
before the challenger could lock Ocean up for her finisher, THE EMERALD FUSION [over-the-shoulder
piledriver], the blonde began kicking her feet. Ocean floated over and landed on her feet, but kicked
Sasha in the head and knocked her through the ropes and down to the arena floor. Ocean ignored the
loss of the official, grabbed her opponent and landed a devastating snap neckbreaker on the bloodied
Korean beauty; as the move left Gail spasming on the canvas.
The Canadian Crippler then motioned to the audience she was going to end it. Ocean yanked Gail up
and slammed a boot into her stomach, doubling her over. Quickly, the champion applied a double
underhook armlock and hoisted her opponent into the air. Several seconds passed before the blonde
drover Gail into the mat with her finisher, THE OCEAN FLOOR [double underhook brainbuster suplex].
Ocean crawled on top of Gail and waited for the count. And waited. And waited. Finally, she looked
around and saw there was no referee in the ring. Uttering a scream, the blonde clutched at her tresses
with a wild look in her eyes.
NIKKI: Oh boy! I think Ocean may have just won the match but now there’s no referee.
PARIS: I don’t believe this! Why does Ocean always get the short end?
With a maniacal look in her eyes, Ocean yanked Gail off the canvas and scooped her into the air. The
champion deposited her opponent on the top turnbuckle facing the crowd. A second later, Ocean had
climbed to the second rope, then grabbed both of Gail’s wrists and crossed them. The Canadian
Crippler then lifted Gail into the air and nailed the Korean challenger with an Ocean Cyclone suplex; the
impact resounded throughout the arena. As Gail twitched on the mat, Ocean looked around for an
official but to no avail.
With Gail spasming on the canvas, Ocean scooped the bloodied challenger up onto her shoulder.
Slowly, the Canadian Crippler backed into the near corner and began to climb the ropes. When she was
seated on the top turnbuckle, Ocean stopped and allowed Gail to slide forward a bit. The blonde then
stood up, allowed Gail to slide down until her head was about even with her knees, then locked her
hands around the Korean grappler’s body.
Abruptly, Ocean leapt from her perch and nailed Gail with her finisher, OCEAN’S ELEVEN [flying
tombstone piledriver]. Gail’s skull bounced off the canvas like a pogo stick and then came to rest near
the ropes; her arms and legs spasming wildly. Ocean crawled over to her prone opponent and covered
her, but there still was no referee. Seconds ticked by until finally, Gianna Michaels came down the aisle
and slid into the ring.
Gail threw down her microphone, stormed down the ramp while she ignored the hi-five requests from her
fans along the way and then slid into the ring. She shucked off her trademark trenchcoat and came face
to face with Ocean before Sasha wedged in between them and backed the challenger toward her
corner. The tiny official quickly checked Gail for weapons and then instructed her for the match.
DING!
Both women sped from their corners, intent on leveling their opponent. However, Gail ducked beneath
Ocean’s grasp, stopped in her tracks, then leapt into the air and nailed the Canadian Crippler with a
wicked spin kick that sent the champion crashing to the mat. Swiftly, Gail bounced off the ropes and
delivered a sliding dropkick to Ocean’s back; the move sent the champion rolling across the ring as the
fans cheered on the sexy Asian.
Before Ocean could regain her feet completely, Gail moved in and nailed the champion with a European
uppercut that caused Ocean to stagger back into the ropes. The Asian beauty moved in and laced the
champion with a second uppercut that seemed to be on the verge of sending the blonde crashing to the
canvas before she righted herself only to be hammered with a third uppercut.
NIKKI: Wow! Gail has started out like a house of fire.
PARIS: Lemme see……a little fire against an ocean………….hmmmmm, I wonder who will win?
With Ocean staggered, Gail grabbed the champion by the wrist and led her away from the ropes. A
second later, the Asian dynamo pulled the blonde into a bone-jarring short-armed clothesline that sent
the champion to the mat once more. As a stunned Ocean struggled to sit up, Gail moved behind the
blonde and slammed a vicious soccer-styled kick between the champion’s shoulderblades, causing the
Canadian Crippler to arch her back in agony. A second kick from the challenger followed which sent
Ocean rolling across the canvas with Gail in hot pursuit.
As Ocean rolled onto her hands and knees, Gail deftly moved behind the champion. The challenger
grabbed a handful of the Canadian’s blonde tresses before she placed a knee behind Ocean’s head and
then drove the champion’s face into the canvas with her KOREAN DRIVER [kneedrop/facebuster
combo]. Gail kipped back up quickly as Ocean clutched at her face on the mat. When the Canadian
Crippler finally rose onto the back of her knees, a thin trail of blood streamed from the blonde’s left nostril.
NIKKI: Uh-oh, Gail has drawn first blood.
PARIS: She’s signing her own death warrant. Nobody gets away with doing that to Ocean.
Just as Ocean leaned forward, Gail ran toward the champion and nailed her with a running kneelift that
had the blonde seeing stars. Ocean was given no respite as Gail moved in and hit her with a running
kneedrop across the forehead that Ric Flair would have been envious of. Again, Ocean sputtered
across the canvas, trying to clear her head and regroup.
The Canadian Crippler was still dazed and trying to pick up the Asian beauty was when Gail sped toward
her, did a stutter step, jumped up and nailed the blonde with her finisher, the GK1 [Shining Wizard Kick].
The blow nailed Ocean on the left side of her head and the champion crashed to the mat almost in slow-
motion. Quickly, Gail covered her foe and waited for Sasha to make the count.
ONE…
TWO…
TH-
Ocean powered out of the pin attempt by throwing Gail off her with force, then rolling toward the ropes so
that a counter attack would not be allowed.
NIKKI: Gail nearly pulled off a stunning upset there. I think that Ocean may have underestimated her.
PARIS: Nitwit…she didn’t even know who she was going to face.
Gail checked with Sasha about how close the count was before she attacked Ocean again as she
yanked up the champion and laced into her with another knife-edged chop to the chest. With the
champion backed against the ropes, Gail grabbed the blonde by the wrist and whipped her across the
ring. As Ocean rebounded, Gail bent over for a back body drop, but Ocean read it perfectly and nailed
the challenger with a gourd buster. Gail hit the mat and the Canadian Crippler was on her in an instant.
Ocean whipped Gail into ropes and when the challenger rebounded, the Canadian Crippler nearly took
her head off with a wicked clothesline. The champion quickly yanked her dazed foe up and whipped her
into the ropes once more. This time, as Ocean went for a second clothesline, Gail ducked underneath
the blow, dropped to the canvas and nailed the champion with a reverse martial arts kick to head.
Gail kipped to her feet quickly and moved behind the champion. The Asian scooped Ocean into the air
and then slammed her down, executing a picture-perfect across the knee backbreaker. Not wasting a
second, Gail yanked Ocean off the canvas and then locked on THE KOREAN STRETCH [modified
Abdominal Stretch]. As Gail poured on the pressure, Ocean strained against the challenger’s grip while
Sasha moved in to ask the champion if she wanted to submit.
NIKKI: I doubt this will get Ocean to quit, but I’m sure it is quite uncomfortable.
PARIS: Just a temporary setback. Ocean will be free in a jiffy.
After nearly a minute, Ocean managed to dislodge Gail’s leg and hip-toss the challenger to the mat
before she dropped to her knees herself. As Ocean got to her feet, Gail crashed into her left leg with a
chop block and sent the champion to the canvas once more. The challenger moved quickly and locked
on another one of her finishers, THE OCTOPUS [Brock Lock/half crab combo].
As Gail increased the torque on Ocean’s leg and spine, the champion screamed out her agony while she
immediately tried to crawl toward the ropes. Inch by inch, Ocean ignored the current of agony that
racked her body and crawled toward salvation while Sasha leaned in and badgered her if she wanted to
submit. Each time, the champion screeched out a ‘no’ before resuming her desperate crawl.
With each lurch, Ocean ignored her agony and continued to inch toward the ropes and relief from her
torture. Just as Ocean came within a foot of the ropes, Gail leaned into her foe and increased the
pressure. The blonde felt as though her knee was about to be dislocated while her spine screamed for
release. Still, the champion’s heart willed her to continue inching toward the ropes.
When she was about four inches away from reaching her goal, Ocean’s movements ceased. Sweat
poured off her body but there was no movement from the blonde. Sasha moved in and lifted Ocean’s
arm. Limply, it fell to the mat. A second check produced the same result. When Sasha checked a third
time, Ocean’s arm started to drop when it stopped in mid-flight. With a banshee scream, Ocean lifted
herself off the canvas and lurched forward to grab the bottom rope. Immediately, Sasha ordered Gail to
release her opponent.
NIKKI: That had to really hurt. Ocean may not be the same for the rest of the match.
PARIS: Ocean is a legend. She won’t quit unless her leg has been ripped off.
Ocean, as she clutched at the ropes like a drowning person would a life preserver, began to pump her
leg to try to restore feeling in the limb. As she did, Gail tried to move in but Sasha moved in and warned
the challenger. Finally, when Ocean got to her feet, Gail moved in and grabbed her by the wrist.
Abruptly, the Asian beauty pulled the blonde into a stiff short-armed clothesline. With Ocean down, Gail
raced over to the adjacent corner and climbed to the top. As she tensed, ready to land a rocket
dropkick, Gail was shocked as Ocean leapt to her feet, raced over the corner and scaled it. The
champion locked her arms around Gail, spun around and leapt off as she nailed the Asian beauty with a
thunderous top rope belly to belly suplex that had the fans yelling a ‘HOLY SHIT’ chant.
Both women lay on the canvas unmoving as Sasha began her count. At four, both Ocean and Gail
began to stir. As both women struggled to stand, Ocean was a bit ahead of her opponent. Slowly, the
champion limped toward Gail who was still arching her back from the slam she had taken. When the
challenger leaned in to lock up with Ocean, the blonde ducked down, grabbed Gail and lifted her into air.
A second later, Ocean drove Gail into the canvas with a devastating Dominator slam.
With a sneer on her face, Ocean yanked Gail off the canvas and scooped her onto her shoulder. The
champion backed into the near corner and then ran forward and drove the Asian beauty into the mat with
a running powerslam. Relentless, Ocean yanked Gail up and onto her shoulders once more. A second
later, the Canadian Crippler had driven Gail into the canvas with a second running powerslam. Still, the
blonde wasn’t done. The champion lifted Gail onto her shoulder again and delivered a third running
powerslam, completing her finisher THE OCEAN’S WAVE [3 consecutive powerslams]. Ocean casually
lay across her opponent for the pin as Sasha leapt into position.
ONE…
TWO…
TH-
At the last second, Gail lifter her shoulder and interrupted the count as a frustrated Ocean screamed at
Sasha for not counting fast enough.
NIKKI: Ocean nearly had Gail there, but her laziness cost her. Always hook your opponent’s leg.
PARIS: I’d like to give you the hook.
Seething, Ocean yanked Gail up and locked on an armbar. Rapidly, the champion slammed clubbing
blows into the shoulder of her foe; the force drove the Asian grappler to one knee. Abruptly, Ocean
spun around and wrenched Gail’s arm with a Dragon arm-whip. The challenger rolled back and forth on
the canvas as she clutched at her throbbing arm.
Wasting no time, Ocean jerked the agonized challenger to her feet and locked on a hammerlock. The
blonde then slid around so that they were face to face with the hammerlock still locked on. With a smile
on her face, Ocean jerked Gail into the air and over her head with another belly to belly suplex; the Asian
beauty’s arm bore the brunt of the impact. Instinctively, Gail rolled toward the ropes and out of the ring,
shaking her arm to restore feeling as she turned her back on the ring and staggered a few steps away.
NIKKI: Smart move by Gail to bail. Ocean can’t win the match on the floor.
PARIS: Idiot. She doesn’t have to win the match to keep her title, but she can pulverize Gail outside the
ring.
Gail was still trying to regain the feeling in her left arm when Ocean exited the ring and attacked her from
behind. A clubbing forearm from the champion sent the Asian beauty sprawling across the thinly padded
arena floor. Ocean pounced on the dazed challenger, grabbing a handful of hair and hauling her prey
up to her feet. Despite Gail’s objections, the Canadian Crippler grabbed Gail by her wrist and whipped
her into the steel ringside steps; the impact resounded throughout the arena.
With Gail defenseless for the moment, Ocean raced over to where the timekeeper sat and promptly
shoved the timid-looking man off his seat. The champion then folded up the steel chair and headed over
toward her opponent with the weapon in hand. Gail was still grimacing from her meeting with the steel
steps as she struggled to stand. Just as Gail looked up, Ocean swung from her heels and smashed the
steel chair over the challenger’s head. The sickening sound of the impact echoed across the arena as
Gail immediately collapsed in a heap.
NIKKI: OH MY GOD!!! Ocean just killed Gail.
PARIS: Ah, such sweet music to my ears.
Ocean had a Cheshire cat’s grin on her face as she tossed aside the dented steel chair and encouraged
the already jeering crowd to shower her with even more verbal abuse. While the champion and the fans
jousted verbally, Gail somehow started to rise. As she got to her hands and knees, everybody could see
the damage as a stream of blood dripped from her still unseen face onto the arena floor. But when the
Asian grappler staggered over to the edge of the ring, many in the front row of the crowd recoiled at her
visage. Blood poured from a wound in the middle of her forehead and streamed down her face onto her
arms, chest and stomach.
The Canadian Crippler spun around and headed for the dazed Korean beauty. With a handful of her
opponent’s hair, Ocean led the bloodied grappler over to the announcers table.
NIKKI: Uh-oh…..time to leave Paris.
PARIS: I’m already gone.
A clubbing blow from the champion sent the challenger sprawling across the table while Ocean climbed
atop the structure. With a maniacal expression on her face, Ocean pulled Gail up and locked on a
standing headscissors. The blonde juggernaut wrapped her arms around Gail’s waist and hoisted her
into the air so that her feet were pointed toward the lights. A second later, Ocean sat straight down and
drove Gail’s skull into the announcers table with a devastating piledriver, reducing it to a pile of rubble
and eliciting ‘HOLY SHIT’ chants.
As Ocean emerged from the wreckage, Gail still lay twitching in the remnants of the announcers table;
the wound on her forehead had now become a gash and blood still streamed from it as it ran down her
face and soaked her outfit and body. Slowly, the Canadian Crippler sauntered over and looked down at
her semi-conscious victim.
OCEAN: You see what happens when you try to fuck with the best? Look at you……bloody and
broken. I could end your career now if I wanted to but I’ve got plans for later tonight. It’s time to finish
this off.
Ocean reached down and grabbed her bloody opponent by the hair and hauled her toward the ring. The
champion shoved the barely conscious Gail into the ring and quickly followed her in. Some in the crowd
began to chant Gail’s name in the hope of reviving her, but to no avail. With a sneer on her face, Ocean
nudged the Asian grappler with her boot before she continued her attack.
Laboriously, Ocean pulled Gail up and locked on a front facelock. The Canadian Crippler grabbed a
handful of the challenger’s blood stained shorts and hoisted her into the air. Displaying her strength,
Ocean held Gail aloft and then began to spin around before she dropped straight down, driving her
opponent’s head into the canvas with her finisher, BLOOM’S BASH [corkscrew suplex piledriver]. Gail
spasmed briefly before she stopped moving. With utter disdain, Ocean flexed her biceps while she knelt
with one knee pressed across the challenger’s chest and the referee jumped into position to make the
count.
ONE…
TWO…
THR-
At the last second, Gail snapped to action and pushed Ocean off her before rolling onto her stomach.
Slowly, Gail rose onto her hands and knees before she began to crawl toward the ropes, leaving a trail of
blood behind.
NIKKI: She kicked out! She kicked out!
PARIS: Calm down and have a valium. You didn’t just win the lottery you know.
Irate, Ocean jumped to her feet and followed Gail over to the ropes. Once there, the Canadian Crippler
began stomping away at her fallen foe. As Sasha began her count, Ocean primarily applied the boot to
Gail’s forehead, keeping her blood flowing down her face. When Sasha reached four, the Canadian
Crippler backed up a step before she started in again. This time, Ocean pulled Gail’s left arm away from
her body, stepped on her open palm and began stomping away on the Asian’s arm as she screamed out
her agony. At four, Ocean relented for a moment only to move in a third time and target the challenger’s
left arm again.
When Ocean moved in again, she yanked her agonized victim to her feet; Gail holding her throbbing arm
close to her body. Facing the challenger, Ocean yanked Gail’s left arm up behind her while she scooped
the bloodied Asian into her arms. With her opponent’s arm behind her, Ocean bodyslammed Gail to the
mat, eliciting a howl of agony from the Asian beauty as her left arm bore the brunt of the impact.
NIKKI: Ocean means to make Gail’s left arm useless.
PARIS: Ocean means to make Gail’s arm broken I think.
Pressing her attack, Ocean stomped away at Gail’s arm once more as the bloody grappler tried to cover
up. Abruptly, Ocean stopped, grabbed a handful of her challenger’s hair and yanked her up. The
Canadian powerhouse then scooped Gail into her arm and onto her shoulders. Ocean positioned her
challenger before she stepped forward and dropped the Asian shoulder-first onto her knee with a
textbook shoulderbreaker; the move eliciting another howl of agony from Gail.
As Gail writhed on the canvas holding her arm, Ocean motioned to the crowd with a throat-cutting
gesture that she was going to end the contest. Again, the blonde yanked her victim to her feet courtesy
of a handful of hair. Ocean then spun Gail around and applied a double hammerlock before lifting the
challenger into air and locking on her finisher, FATHOM PRESSURE [elevated double hammerlock]. A
shrill scream came from Gail’s lips as she shook her head from side to side; her left arm feeling as
though it were being ripped from its socket. Still, when Sasha moved in and asked the bloody wrestler is
she wanted to give up, Gail managed to hiss out a ‘NO’ before her chin slumped onto her blood-soaked
chest.
A battle of wills ensued as Ocean struggled to maintain the hold and Gail tried to block out the pain long
enough for her foe to weaken and let her go. Seconds ticked by as blood continued to flow down Gail’s
agony-wracked face and her arm throbbed mercilessly. Meanwhile, Ocean’s arms began to tremble as
her muscles reached their limit and begged for a break. Finally, after nearly two minutes, Ocean
dropped her foe to the canvas and backed into the ropes flexing her arms in an effort to keep them from
locking up while Gail curled into a fetal ball on the mat holding her damaged left arm.
NIKKI: Gail is in bad shape, but I have to give her credit; she did not give up even thought I bet her arm
wishes she had.
PARIS: Her arm? I think all of her wishes she hadn’t taken this match.
The Canadian Crippler advanced on her opponent with a look of pure hatred on her face. Ocean
yanked Gail to her feet, spun her around and drove a stiff forearm into the challenger’s back. Before
Gail could collapse, Ocean’s left hand snaked out and grabbed the bloody Asian by her hair to hold her
up. A second and third forearm followed as spasms racked Gail’s legs and a torrent of agony ran up and
down her spine. Finally, Ocean pushed her opponent into the ropes and when she staggered back,
drove another forearm smash into her back; this one sent her crashing to the canvas.
Several fans bawled up their programs and began to litter the ring with them, one of which landed against
Ocean’s left leg. The blonde turned toward the crowd, spit in their direction before continuing her attack.
Once more, the champion hauled her challenger to her feet and shoved her into the nearby corner.
Ocean moved in, climbed to the second rope and began raining down stiff punches into Gail’s forehead,
opening up the gash further and causing more blood to flow.
NIKKI: This is too much. Gail is losing too much blood and I think Sasha should stop this match.
PARIS: Wow….yet again we agree on something.
Sasha warned Ocean as she quickly began her count. At four, the champion jumped down and retreated
as the tiny official gave her an earful and Gail slumped in the corner, held up only by the ring ropes.
Again, the Canadian Crippler moved in and climbed to the second rope. This time, she leaned forward
and sank her teeth into Gail’s forehead, tearing open the gash further and eliciting sickening screams
from the tortured Asian. Sasha, stunned by Ocean’s brutality, stood transfixed for a few seconds before
she started to count.
Gail’s hands clenched and unclenched and her left leg shook uncontrollably as the champion tore into
her flesh. Finally, Sasha’s count reached four and the champion jumped down and backed away while
the small official moved in to examine Gail’s wound. After she did, Sasha pleaded with Gail to stop the
match but the blood soaked grappler hissed back a defiant threat and the match continued.
With Gail still slumped in the corner, Ocean backed into the center of the ring before her eyes narrowed
and she sprinted toward her target. At the last possible second, two things happened; Ocean left her
feet intent on landing a bone shattering spear on the challenger in the corner and secondly, Gail’s
instincts kicked in and she leapt out of the way of the champion. Ocean’s eyes barely had time to widen
in fear before she flew between the top and second turnbuckles and slammed shoulder-first into the steel
ringpost; a bloodcurdling scream escaping her lips upon impact.
NIKKI: Yes! Somehow Gail moved out of harm’s way and Ocean paid the price. This may be the
opening that Gail needed.
PARIS: I think Gail is gonna need a transfusion after this match. As for Ocean, this is only a temporary
setback.
The Canadian Crippler lay on the ropes with her throbbing right arm hanging down while Gail slowly
staggered to her feet. Even through her bloody visage, Gail’s expression told everybody in the building
that she was about to pay Ocean back in spades. The Korean beauty exited the ring and walked along
the ring apron until she reached her opponent. Gail grabbed Ocean’s right arm, locked on a fingerlock
and took a step backwards before she raced forward and leapt toward the steel ringpost. Gail slammed
Ocean’s arm into the ringpost before she landed on the arena floor and pulled down on the limb eliciting
a bloodcurdling scream from the champion. The blonde powerhouse rolled through the ropes and fell
onto the arena floor clutching wildly at her arm while still screaming in short bursts.
The challenger wasted no time in continuing her attack as she came up behind the kneeling Ocean,
grabbed her by her injured arm and spun forward with a Dragon arm whip, further hyper-extending the
limb. Again, Ocean screamed out as her feet beat a tattoo into the thin mats that covered the arena floor
around the ring. Still, Gail was not finished with her revenge.
NIKKI: Gail has murder in her eyes and I'm afraid of what that means for Ocean.
PARIS: It's way past time for that munchkin of a referee to disqualify Gail. She has been getting away
with murder.
Despite Ocean’s protests, Gail grabbed her foe by her injured right arm and pulled her toward the
ringpost once again. The challenger threaded Ocean’s arm though and then violently pulled the
champion toward the ringpost until her shoulder slammed into the unforgiving metal. Finally, Gail
slammed the limb into the ringpost; the impact causing Ocean to scream out again. However, before
Ocean could remove her arm, Gail grabbed it again and repeated the move. This cycle continued
another three times before Ocean slumped to her knees, her right arm still draped over the lower
ringpost connector as she fought to hold back tears of pain.
Sasha finally exited the ring and ordered the challenger to bring the action back inside the ring. With a
handful of the champion’s hair and shorts, Gail rolled Ocean back into the ring and rolled in behind her.
The challenger wiped the blood from her eyes and pulled Ocean to her feet and then led her over to the
ropes. Gail draped Ocean’s damaged right arm over the top rope and as she did, the champion reacted
with a left forearm to the side of the bloodied grappler’s head. Gail responded with a knife-edged chop
that snapped Ocean’s head back and could be heard around the arena.
Working quickly, the Asian challenger draped Ocean’s other arm over the top rope and with the
Canadian Crippler trapped on the ropes, began to hammer the champion with a flurry of martial arts
chops and thrusts to the blonde’s torso and face. Fists and chops smashed into Ocean’s chest,
stomach, shoulders, jaw and chin until Gail tensed for a second and then leapt into the air and nailed the
champion with a wicked spin kick right across her jaw that finally sent the blonde crashing to the canvas
face first. Gail quickly rolled the Canadian Crippler onto her back, hooked her leg and waited for Sasha
to make the count.
ONE…
TWO..
TH-
Ocean powered out, using her left arm to shove Gail away and stop the count.
NIKKI: I really thought Gail had the win there. What is it going to take to put Ocean down?
PARIS: More than Gail has.
Still, Gail continued her assault as she yanked Ocean to her feet and laced into her with another series
of European uppercuts, each one harder than the previous one and each backed the champion closer to
the ropes. When Gail grabbed Ocean by the wrist to whip her across the ring, the Canadian Crippler
quickly reversed the move, stopped in her tracks and pulled the challenger into the a stiff knee to the
stomach, doubling over the game Asian grappler.
After taking a second to shake some feeling back into her right arm, Ocean immediately tested the limb
as she scooped Gail into the air for what seemed to be a side slam. Instead, Gail used the momentum to
flip around onto Ocean’s shoulder while she whipped her legs around the champion’s head, grabbed the
blonde’s tortured right arm and locked on her finisher, THE FLYING DRAGON [tilt-a-whirl
headscissors/armbar combo].
Immediately, Ocean began to protest as Gail pulled back on her arm with one hand while she dug into
her forearm muscle with the other hand. Slowly, but surely the pain became excruciating and Ocean
tried to stagger toward the ropes and salvation. However, it was then Gail tightened her headscissors,
cutting off the blood flow to Ocean’s brain. Wooziness set in and the champion dropped to one knee,
then both knees as her grip on the championship began to fade like her consciousness.
Sasha was right on the spot and repeatedly asked the champion if she wanted to submit. Each time,
Ocean said no but each response was a little less audible than the previous one. Finally, Ocean pitched
forward as Gail continued to apply the pressure in the hope that the champion would submit or pass out.
Just when the latter seemed about to become a reality, Ocean managed to snake out her left hand and
grab the bottom rope as an audible sigh rose from the Gail fans in the audience while Ocean’s followers
cheered her on.
NIKKI: Damn her! Damn that Ocean! I don’t know how she survived that hold.
PARIS: (audible sigh) That….that was close. But now you know why Ocean is a living legend.
Gail had barely released Ocean when she grabbed two handfuls of hair and yanked her out toward the
center of the ring. Quickly, the bloodied challenger scooped the blonde into her arms and then slammed
the champion down across her knee with a textbook across-the-knee backbreaker. Ocean wailed upon
impact and then slid off Gail’s knee onto the canvas.
Swiftly, Gail grabbed Ocean’s arm, wrapped it around her leg as she rolled the champion onto her
stomach while stepping over her. The challenger spun around and then knelt down while she grabbed
the blonde’s right leg and cinched in her finisher, THE TRAUMA CYCLE [hammerlock/half Boston crab
combo]. Currents of pain shot up and down Ocean’s spine as Gail leaned back and cinched in the
submission move.
Sasha lay on the canvas inches from Ocean’s face as she closed her eyes and tried to block out the
pain. Each time the diminutive official asked the blonde if she wanted to submit, the champion hissed out
a ‘no’. Using her free limbs, Ocean began crawling toward the ropes and safety. The seconds ticked by
as the champion ignored her pain and continued her progress. Finally, just when it seemed like her
spine was going to snap, Ocean reached out and grasped the bottom rope. Immediately, Sasha tapped
Gail on her shoulder to release the hold. She complied almost instantly.
NIKKI: I don’t believe this. Ocean must have a guardian angel helping her because Gail is throwing the
book at the champion.
PARIS: She’s going to need something heavier than a book. Maybe an anvil will do.
NIKKI: Who are you? Wile E. Coyote?
With Ocean still in pain, Gail yanked the champion up and hoisted her onto her shoulder. However,
before the challenger could lock Ocean up for her finisher, THE EMERALD FUSION [over-the-shoulder
piledriver], the blonde began kicking her feet. Ocean floated over and landed on her feet, but kicked
Sasha in the head and knocked her through the ropes and down to the arena floor. Ocean ignored the
loss of the official, grabbed her opponent and landed a devastating snap neckbreaker on the bloodied
Korean beauty; as the move left Gail spasming on the canvas.
The Canadian Crippler then motioned to the audience she was going to end it. Ocean yanked Gail up
and slammed a boot into her stomach, doubling her over. Quickly, the champion applied a double
underhook armlock and hoisted her opponent into the air. Several seconds passed before the blonde
drover Gail into the mat with her finisher, THE OCEAN FLOOR [double underhook brainbuster suplex].
Ocean crawled on top of Gail and waited for the count. And waited. And waited. Finally, she looked
around and saw there was no referee in the ring. Uttering a scream, the blonde clutched at her tresses
with a wild look in her eyes.
NIKKI: Oh boy! I think Ocean may have just won the match but now there’s no referee.
PARIS: I don’t believe this! Why does Ocean always get the short end?
With a maniacal look in her eyes, Ocean yanked Gail off the canvas and scooped her into the air. The
champion deposited her opponent on the top turnbuckle facing the crowd. A second later, Ocean had
climbed to the second rope, then grabbed both of Gail’s wrists and crossed them. The Canadian
Crippler then lifted Gail into the air and nailed the Korean challenger with an Ocean Cyclone suplex; the
impact resounded throughout the arena. As Gail twitched on the mat, Ocean looked around for an
official but to no avail.
With Gail spasming on the canvas, Ocean scooped the bloodied challenger up onto her shoulder.
Slowly, the Canadian Crippler backed into the near corner and began to climb the ropes. When she was
seated on the top turnbuckle, Ocean stopped and allowed Gail to slide forward a bit. The blonde then
stood up, allowed Gail to slide down until her head was about even with her knees, then locked her
hands around the Korean grappler’s body.
Abruptly, Ocean leapt from her perch and nailed Gail with her finisher, OCEAN’S ELEVEN [flying
tombstone piledriver]. Gail’s skull bounced off the canvas like a pogo stick and then came to rest near
the ropes; her arms and legs spasming wildly. Ocean crawled over to her prone opponent and covered
her, but there still was no referee. Seconds ticked by until finally, Gianna Michaels came down the aisle
and slid into the ring.

ONE…
TWO…
THRE-
At the very last second, Gail managed to put her foot on the bottom rope and prevent Ocean from
winning the match. The blonde pounded her thighs in frustration as Gail clutched at the back of her neck
and rolled onto her side.
PARIS: No, no, no!!! Ocean just won the match. How come nobody is ringing the bell?
NIKKI: Because the new referee didn’t make it into the ring in time and Gail just refuses to lose.
The enraged blonde jumped to her feet and began putting the boots to Gail. Before Gianna could
interject, Ocean yanked Gail up and headed toward the near corner. With the challenger on her
shoulder, Ocean climbed the ropes until she was seated on the top turnbuckle. As the champion tried to
place Gail in position for another Oceans Eleven, the Korean grappler smashed the champion in the
head with a knee. A second knee followed and a third broke the champion’s grip and allowed the
challenger to flip to the canvas.
Gail quickly spun around and nailed Ocean with a leaping forearm smash that stunned the blonde.
Working quickly, the bloodied challenger climbed to the second turnbuckles, leapt into the air while
spinning around and nailed Ocean with a spinning backfist that nearly sent the champion off her perch.
Instead, Ocean slumped forward allowing Gail to slip underneath her and again climb to the second rope;
this time with the champion on her shoulders.
The Korean challenger leaned forward to balance herself and her load while she reached around and
pulled Ocean into position. A second later, Gail leapt from the ropes and drove Ocean into the canvas
with a flying EMERALD FUSION [over-the-shoulder piledriver]. A roar came up from the crowd as Ocean
spasmed wildly on the canvas and Gail struggled to crawl onto her foe for the pin. Finally, Gail managed
to drape an arm over the blonde’s chest as Gianna made the count.
ONE…
TWO…
THRE-
Just before Gianna’s hand came down a third time, Ocean managed to swing her foot on the bottom rope
as an audible groan came from the crowd.
NIKKI: Damn her. Where are these women getting this from? I cannot believe either woman is still
standing.
PARIS: Ocean will remedy that when she gets back on her feet.
Seconds ticked by as both women struggled to find a second wind and continue the match. Gianna
moved in and began to count as Gail and Ocean struggled to rise. At eight, Gail made it to her feet and
headed toward the equally dazed champion. The bloodied challenger grabbed Ocean by the wrist and
attempted a short-arm clothesline. Instead, the blonde ducked underneath the move, spun around and
grabbed Gail in a front facelock and then nailed the challenger with an implant DDT.
With Gail stunned, Ocean gritted her teeth and moved in to press her advantage. The Canadian
Crippler pulled Gail into a front facelock and then grabbed a handful of her shorts. A quick jerk later, the
blonde had lifted her opponent into the air and started to spin around for another BLOOM’S BASH
[corkscrew suplex piledriver]. But as she started to turn, Gail began to kick her legs which enabled her to
drop to the canvas on her feet behind the champion.
When Ocean turned around, the challenger slammed a stiff knee into the stomach of the champion,
doubling her over. Gail then crossed Ocean’s arms, spun around behind her and nailed the champion
with THE HAPPY ENDING [cross-armed neckbreaker]. Ocean dropped to the canvas like a shot and
began twitching wildly as she clutched at her neck while Gail tried to will herself to one last surge of
adrenaline before her blood loss cause her to lose consciousness.
NIKKI: Gail’s running out of time now. If she doesn’t end it now, I think she’s done.
PARIS: The end is near. She just got lucky with that move.
Slowly, Gail moved toward Ocean and pulled her off the mat. The Korean Assassin grabbed the
champion and started to lock on a double underhook armlock. Instead, she reached through, secured
Ocean’s left arm while she reached underneath and locked on her finisher, THE KOREAN DEATHLOCK
[front facelock choke/hammerlock combo]. With the hold cinched in, Gail turned left and right in an effort
to keep Ocean off-balance and unable to use her legs to push her toward the ropes.
Slowly but surely, Gail’s movements came to a halt as she hoped that the champion was nearly ready to
submit. However, with the hold cinched in so tightly, it was apparent that Ocean would pass out first. As
Gianna moved in to check on the champion, she dropped to one knee while her other leg began to
tremble. Again, Gail flexed, hoping to cut off her opponent’s air supply so that she would pass out.
The challenger let up on her pressure for a second so that Gianna might get a response from Ocean
that she wanted to submit. When she did, the champion came alive and rose up. Slowly, she gurgled
out a ‘no’ and began to use her legs to push Gail toward the ropes. Step by step, she managed to back
the fading Korean beauty toward the ropes and her salvation.
Ocean had nearly backed Gail into the ropes when the challenger came alive again, spun Ocean around
and backpedaled toward the center of the ring. Again, Gail gritted her teeth and fought the exhaustion
caused by her blood loss to cinch in the Korean Deathlock again. Once more, Ocean dropped to one
knee as two chants rose from the audience; one for Gail and a less vocal one for Ocean.
When Ocean dropped to both knees, a hush fell over her fans as the chant for Gail rose in decibels.
Again, Gail shook her back and forth before she too dropped to one knee. Gianna moved in again and
asked the champion but received no response. Alarmed, she asked Gail to release the hold. When the
challenger refused, Gianna began to count. At four, Gail released Ocean and both women collapsed to
the canvas; Gail onto the seat of her shorts and Ocean face-down. Gianna moved in quickly and rolled
Ocean onto her back and then immediately called for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
ANNOUNCER: Your winner, by knockout………..and NEW A.F.W. World Champion…..The Korean
Assassin, Gail Kim!!!
Balloons and streamers dropped from the rafters of the Staples Center as the fans stood on their feet
and cheered the new champion who was so exhausted, she struggled to stand and bask in the fans
adulation. As she did, Gianna leaned over the unconscious Ocean and began trying to revive her. After
several tense seconds, the Canadian Crippler came awake hacking and coughing and holding her throat.
NIKKI: Gail Kim has done it….she’s done the impossible and beaten Ocean Bloom! She is now the
AFW World Champion.
PARIS: I hate this. That skank doesn’t deserve to shine my shoes let alone be the champion. This
really sucks.
NIKKI: Fans, that woman in the ring may be the best technical wrestler in the business. Certainly, she’s
the most tenacious. Somehow, she survived Ocean’s torture and pulled out the win.
A bloody Gail Kim held the A.F.W. World title high over her head as the fans chanted her name.
