DING!  

Jennifer and Lindsey rushed across the ring toward their opponents, ready to level them with dueling
clotheslines.  Instead, Tara and Mercedes ducked the intended blows, planted themselves and leveled
The Beasts with a pair of spinning heel kicks that dropped Jennifer to the mat and sent Lindsey
staggering back against the ropes.  The Weapons quickly grabbed the powerful blonde by the wrists and
whipped her across the ring.  When Lindsey rebounded, Tara and Mercedes nailed her with dual
spinning heel kicks that sent the powerful blonde crashing to the canvas.

The Lethal Weapons turned around to see a recovered Jennifer rushing toward them with a double
clothesline.  Tara and Mercedes alertly ducked the blow and when the blonde finally stopped, spun
around and rushed forward again, the Weapons caught Jennifer, lifted her into the air and drove her into
the canvas with a perfectly executed flapjack maneuver.  Finally the official ushered Mercedes from the
ring, leaving Tara to press her advantage over Lindsey.

NIKKI:  Nice teamwork by the Weapons there.  That will be how they defeat the Beasts as they cannot
overpower the blondes.
PARIS:  Tara and Mercedes have no chance to defeat The Beasts; at least, not without a miracle.

Lindsey regarded her foe for a second before she rushed forward, reading to lock up collar-and-elbow.  
However, Tara had other ideas and, at the last second, dropped down and upended The Beast with a
perfectly executed drop toehold that sent the blonde crashing to the mat face-first.  Quickly, Da Hottie
grapevine her foe’s legs and after a double shot to her foe’s ribs that forced the blonde to reach
backwards, grabbed The Beast by her wrists and pulled back in a modified surfboard.

When Jennifer rushed into the ring to interfere, she was immediately cut off by Gabrielle who ushered
her back to her corner.  However, Mercedes used the distraction as she leapt into the ring and headed
for the ropes.  As the Persian beauty rebounded, she nailed the exposed Lindsey with a stiff, running
dropkick to the face before the official could reprimand her for the blatant double-team.

NIKKI:  More hit and run tactics by the Weapons.
PARIS:  They can’t run the whole match.

As Lindsey rolled on the mat, holding her face, Tara reached out and tagged Mercedes into the match
before she planted a knee into the small of the back of the Beast and pulled back on her arms once
again.  This time though, Mercedes had climbed to the top rope and leapt off, nailing Lindsey with
THE
FLYING CARPET
[surfboard, flying legdrop combo] before Gabrielle’s count could reach four.  Tara
immediately exited the ring as Lindsey held the back of her head in pain.

Mercedes popped to her feet and waited for Lindsey to regroup and regain her feet.  When The Beast
finally stood, the Persian Princess spun the blonde around and grabbed her around the back of her neck
as she leapt into the air and tucked her knees into Lindsey’s chest.  The result was a sick looking
Codebreaker that sent The Beast staggering backwards where Tara awaited.  The Mafia Princess leapt
into the air, tucked her knees into the small of Lindsey’s back and completed
THE GRAVEDIGGER
[Codebreaker, Lungblower combo].  The move left Lindsey writhing on the canvas as Tara exited the ring
and Mercedes covered the blonde for the pin.

ONE…

TWO…

TH-

Jennifer rushed into the ring and at the last second, flew through the air and nailed Mercedes with a
double axehandle to the back of her head, breaking up the pin attempt.

NIKKI:  Another trademark move from the Weapons and it almost ended this match early.
PARIS:  Thankfully, Jennifer made sure they didn’t get away with the rulebreaking.

Both Lindsey and Mercedes were slow to rise, but the Persian beauty was quicker and landed a picture
perfect dropkick that sent The Beast crashing back to the canvas.  Mercedes kipped back up and quickly
exited the ring.  The exotic beauty was racing toward the corner when Jennifer entered the ring, raced
along the ropes and nailed the brunette with a vicious clothesline that sent Mercedes crashing to the ring
apron.

An enraged and revived Lindsey reached through the ropes and pulled the stunned Persian back into
the ring.  The Beast showcased her strength as she military pressed Mercedes high over her head
before she brought the Persian Princess down across her knee, eliciting a howl from the exotic beauty.  
The blonde held her victim in place and before Gabrielle could move into position, Jennifer leapt from the
top rope and nearly decapitated Mercedes as she completed
THE PREDATOR’S DEN [Military press into
across-the-knee backbreaker, flying legdrop combo].  A coughing Mercedes rolled back and forth across
the mat holding her throat as Lindsey hi-fived her partner.

NIKKI:  The Beasts just showed why they are so dangerous.
PARIS:  Just the start of what is going to happen to the Weapons.

While the still coughing Mercedes tried to regroup, Jennifer exited the ring after being warned by
Gabrielle.   Lindsey then yanked Mercedes up with a handful of hair and led her over to the corner where
Jennifer waited for the tag.  As Lindsey held her foe exposed, Jennifer entered and slammed a
thunderous kick into Mercedes’ exposed mid-section.  With the Persian beauty doubled over, Jennifer
moved behind her and wrapped on a rear waistlock before she lifted the exotic beauty into the air and
drove her into the canvas with a German suplex.  Jennifer maintained her grip as she pulled Mercedes to
her feet and repeated the stiff suplex.  A second later, The Beast proceeded to complete the sequence
with a third German suplex that left Mercedes writhing on the canvas, arching her back.

A crazed look came over Jennifer’s face as she hovered above the still pained Mercedes.  The smaller
Beast yanked her foe up, locked on a front facelock and moved toward the ropes.  With a handful of the
shorts of the Persian Princess, Jennifer lifted her opponent into the air and placed the exotic beauty’s
legs across the top rope.  Abruptly, Jennifer leapt into the air and drove Mercedes head first into the
canvas with her finisher,
THE KILLING STRIKE [implant DDT with opponent’s feet on top rope].  The
brunette’s skull bounced off the mat and she laid nearly motionless save for the twitching of her legs.  
Jennifer casually rolled her over for the pin.

ONE…

TWO…

Before Gabrielle could finish her count, Tara rushed into the ring, grabbed Jennifer by her ankle and
pulled the blonde off Mercedes and preventing the win for the Beasts.

PARIS:  That should be an instant DQ.
NIKKI:  The Beasts may have had it just then, but Tara was having none of it.  
PARIS:  Just delaying the inevitable.

As Gabrielle tried to usher Tara from the ring, Lindsey rushed into the ring, dropped down behind
Mercedes and locked on a full nelson leg scissors.  Jennifer then moved in front of the trapped brunette
and wrapped her legs around the exotic beauty’s mid-section and locking in
THE BEAR TRAP [Full
nelson leglock, body scissors combo].  Before Mercedes could begin to scream, Jennifer placed her
hand over the Persian grappler’s mouth, preventing her from alerting Gabrielle who was still trying to
restrain a livid Tara.  Finally, the Mafia Princess jumped out of the ring, allowing Gabrielle to turn around
and see the blatant double-team.  At four, both blondes released their leglocks and allowed Mercedes to
crumple to the mat.

Jennifer, still the legal girl in the ring, casually yanked Mercedes to her feet and led her over to the
corner where Lindsey eagerly awaited the tag.  When the larger Beast jumped into the ring, both blondes
grabbed Mercedes by her wrists and proceeded to launch thunderous kicks into the ribs and stomach of
the Persian Princess.  Again, the Beasts stretched the rules as they waited until Gabrielle’s count
reached for before Jennifer exited the ring and Mercedes sank to her knee in agony.

The Persian’s respite was short-lived as Lindsey yanked her smaller opponent to her feet and hoisted
her onto her shoulders.  The Beast strode to the center of the ring before she drove Mercedes into the
canvas with a sick-looking Death Valley Driver; the move eliciting a howl from the brunette.  With lightning
quickness, dropped down behind Mercedes and locked on her finisher,
THE COPING MECHANISM [Full-
nelson leg scissors].  The Persian Princess screeched out her agony as the pressure on her neck was
intense.  However, Lindsey quickly amplified the pain as she grabbed the wrists of her foe and forced
them together.  Mercedes’ screams reached new heights as her shoulders felt as though they were
about to be dislocated and her neck neared its snapping point.  Still, she would not submit when
Gabrielle asked.

PARIS:  This is over.  The Beasts have destroyed the so-called Lethal Weapons.
NIKKI:  Not so fast Paris.  Mercedes hasn’t given up yet.
PARIS:  Because she’s too stupid to.  Doesn’t matter though….she’ll pass out in a few seconds.

Tara started to enter the ring which immediately drew Gabrielle’s attention.  Jennifer responded as she
intercepted the Italian beauty, grabbed her by her hair and shorts and tossed her over the top rope.  
However, as Jennifer turned around, she never saw that Tara had held onto the top rope and as
Gabrielle tried to usher the smaller Beast back toward her corner, Tara skinned the cat and re-entered
the ring.  Swiftly, she rushed behind Lindsey and slammed a vicious soccer kick into the back of the
blonde’s head and forcing her to release the torturous hold on Mercedes.  

The Mafia Princess rushed back to her corner and began screaming for the tag from her very dazed
partner.  Fortunately, Lindsey was in no better shape as she lay on the canvas holding her head.  Just
as Gabrielle began to count, both Mercedes and Lindsey began crawling toward their partners for the
tag.  Slowly but surely, both women made their way across the mat with Lindsey being the faster of the
two.  The larger Beast tagged in Jennifer and just as she jumped into the ring, Mercedes made a
desperate leap and tagged Tara into the match.

As Jennifer rushed forward for a clothesline, Tara ducked beneath the blow and headed to the ropes.  
When the Mafia Princess rebounded, she leapt into the air and nailed the smaller Beast with a leg lariat
that sent the blonde down to one knee.  Tara kipped up and headed for the ropes once again.  This
time, the brunette leapt into the air and took Jennifer down with a Lou Thesz Press, peppering the blonde
with lefts and rights.

NIKKI:  Tara has come in like a house on fire and she is burning Jennifer up right now.
PARIS:  When the Beasts put the fire out, she’ll enjoy a nice trip to the hospital.  

When Gabrielle began to count, Tara got off her foe, backed away and waited for the blonde to rise.  
Enraged, Jennifer rose and rushed toward her opponent only for Tara to spin around and slam a vicious
mule kick into her stomach, doubling her over.  Quickly, Da Hottie grabbed her foe by the wrist and
whipped her into the ropes.  When the blonde rebounded, Tara bent over at the last second for a back
bodydrop.  As she was flipping The Beast over her back, Tara’s hands grabbed Jennifer’s legs and then
drove her into the canvas with
DRIVING THE LAST NAIL [Sit-out Alabama Slam].  The blonde bounced
off the canvas and an audible groan escaped her lips.

Instead of trying to pin her downed foe, Tara hovered behind the prone Jennifer while waving for the
blonde to rise.  Finally, the smaller Beast stood and as she did, Tara raced past her foe and toward the
ropes.  With Jennifer in pursuit, Tara leapt onto the top rope and used it as a springboard to nail the
onrushing Beast with
THE RIGHTEOUS KILL [springboard enziguri].  Jennifer spun like a top before she
crashed into the mat and like a shot, Tara was on her for the pin.

ONE…

TWO…

TH-

Before Gabrielle could complete the count, The Beast kicked out of the pin attempt and rolled away from
her attacker, immediately heading for her corner.

PARIS:  Here we go.  Lindsey will come in and teach Tara a lesson.
NIKKI:  Or maybe she’ll be the one being taught.

Lindsey tagged her partner and rushed into the ring only to run into another leg lariat from the Mafia
Princess.  Tara quickly yanked the stunned Beast off the canvas and started to whip her into the ropes.  
The blonde powerhouse showed her stunned status was only temporary as she reversed the whip and
sent Tara into the ropes.  As the brunette hit the ropes, Mercedes slyly reached out and made the blind
tag, unseen by The Beast.  Lindsey was waiting when Tara rebounded as she scooped the brunette into
the air and drove her into the canvas with a bone-jarring powerslam that caused the Mafia Princess to
howl in pain.

The Beast quickly jumped up and leaned over her downed foe with a smirk on her face.  The expression
was quickly washed away as Mercedes rushed into the ring and nailed the blonde with a wicked
somersault scissors kick to the back of her head; the move sent Lindsey crashing to the canvas and
allowing Tara to roll out of the ring.  As the larger Beast started to rise, Mercedes went to the air once
again and landed a sick-looking legdrop facebuster that Billy Gunn would have envied.

NIKKI:  The teamwork of the Weapons is starting to operate on all cylinders.  So far, the Beasts don’t
seem in sync.
PARIS:  This isn’t over by a long-shot and it’ll take more than a couple flashy moves to put the Beasts
down.

As Lindsey started to rise, holding her throbbing face, Mercedes moved in and locked on a front
facelock.  The Persian Princess stunned everyone in the arena as she grabbed her opponent’s leg,
locked in the cradle and lifted the blonde powerhouse into the air before she drove Lindsey’s skull into
the canvas with
THE PUNISHMENT PRICE [cradle brainbuster].  The blonde sat up momentarily before
her eyes rolled back in their sockets and she collapsed onto her back, ready for the pin.  However,
Mercedes had other ideas.

The Persian Princess raced to the corner and swiftly scaled the turnbuckles before she spun around and
balanced herself.  Mercedes then leapt high into the air, somersaulted and sailed across the ring before
she crashed across Lindsey’s chest with her finisher,
THE PERSIAN PLUNGE [somersault frog splash].  
The exotic beauty ignored the pain to her own chest and quickly covered her foe as Gabrielle began her
count.

ONE…

TWO…

THR-

Jennifer made the last-second save and she dove across the back of the Persian beauty and prevented
her from winning the match.

NIKKI:  That was too close.  I don’t think Lindsey would’ve kicked out of that.
PARIS:  Well, that’s what good partners do.  Now watch what happens when you make the Beasts angry.

As Gabrielle ushered Jennifer from the ring, Mercedes realized she needed to continue her assault on
Lindsey, yanked her up and locked on a front facelock.  But before the Persian beauty could do
anything, Lindsey lifted her into the air, ran toward her corner and rammed Mercedes’ spine into the
turnbuckles.  When Lindsey spun around to distract the referee, Jennifer wrapped the tag-team rope
around the throat of Mercedes and began mercilessly choking the exotic beauty.  Finally, when Gabrielle
finished with Lindsey and approached, Jennifer relented and tagged into the match.

The Beast immediately lifted Mercedes off the canvas, locked on a front facelock and carried the exotic
beauty over to the adjacent corner.  Jennifer lifted The Persian Princess into the air as if for a suplex
before she violently dropped her foe crotch first onto the top turnbuckle connector.  Quickly, the smaller
Beast climbed up, wrapped her arms around the torso of Mercedes before she stepped onto the top
rope and pivoted, driving the Persian beauty into the canvas with
THE LOWDOWN [top rope belly-to-
belly suplex].  The blonde looked down at her moaning and twitching victim but instead of pinning her,
simply stood up and backed away.

After a few seconds, Mercedes struggled to stand and as she did, Jennifer began to bounce from one
foot to the other in anticipation.  Finally, as The Persian Princess made it up, Jennifer bounded toward
the ropes and when she rebounded, nailed Mercedes with her finisher,
THE POUNCE [spear to
opponent’s side].  The impact drove Mercedes into the ropes before she bounced off and collapsed to
the mat in agony.  Like a shot, Jennifer covered her foe and waited for Gabrielle to make the count.

ONE…

TWO…

THR-

This time, it was Tara’s turn to stop a winning pin as she tackled Jennifer and stopped her partner from
being counted out.

PARIS:  Damn that Tara; Jennifer had just won the match by pulverizing Mercedes.
NIKKI:  Hey, neither team wants to lose this match.

Tara quickly exited the ring after Gabrielle warned her about the interference while an enraged Jennifer
yanked Mercedes off the canvas and shoved her into the near corner.  A knife-edged chop snapped
back the head of the exotic beauty before the Beast whipped the brunette across the ring and into the
opposite turnbuckles; an audible moan coming from the lips of The Persian Princess upon impact.

With Mercedes slumped in the corner, Jennifer uttered a primal growl before she sped toward her
slumping foe.  Somehow, at the last second, Mercedes slid between the ropes and onto the ring apron
and out of harm’s way.  The move left a shocked Jennifer to fly through the ropes and slam shoulder-first
into the corner ringpost.  A howl of agony escaped the blonde’s lips as she lay on the ropes immobilized
by her pain while a weakened Mercedes collapsed onto the ring apron.

Slowly, Mercedes rolled back into the ring and crawled over to her corner where a frenetic Tara waited
for the tag.  The Italian bombshell leapt into the ring after the tag, rushed across the ring, leapt over a
crawling Jennifer and slammed into Lindsey with a wicked flying forearm that sent the larger blonde flying
off the ring apron.  The Mafia Princess spun around and yanked Jennifer to her feet; the blonde still
holding her throbbing shoulder.  A stiff forearm shot sent the Beast staggering backwards toward the
adjacent corner.  Before she reached it, Tara grabbed a double handful of the blonde’s tresses and ran
toward the corner.  The Italian beauty ran up the turnbuckles, pushed off and tucked her knees up
between her hands, smashing Jennifer’s face into her knees and completing her finisher,
BLACK ICE
[Tornado double knee facebreaker].  Tara then quickly covered the smaller Beast.

ONE…

TWO…

Gabrielle’s count was interrupted as she found herself pulled from the ring by Lindsey, who had just
recovered from the shot she received from Tara moments before.

NIKKI:  Now that was an immediate cause for disqualification.
PARIS:  Why?  Lindsey was just trying to tell Gabrielle she was not doing her job properly.

As Gabrielle leaned through the ropes to warn Lindsey, Mercedes leapt into the ring, bounced off the far
ropes and then somersaulted over Gabrielle onto The Beast with a spectacular plancha that had the
crowd erupting with ‘HOLY SHIT’ chants.  Meanwhile, back inside the ring, Tara had pulled Jennifer off
the canvas and locked on an inverted front facelock.  A second later, the Mafia Princess dropped down
and drove the back of the blonde’s skull into the mat with a wicked inverted DDT.

Tara quickly kipped back up and hovered behind the stunned blonde while Mercedes straddled the
downed Lindsey and began to pepper her with lefts and rights.  When Jennifer finally staggered to her
feet, Tara pounced on the blonde and locked on her finisher,
THE SCOTTI EFFECT [front facelock
choke, hammerlock combo].  Frantically, Jennifer tried to use her free hand to punch at her attacker’s
sides, but to no avail.  After a few seconds, the blonde’s struggling began to wane as her lack of oxygen
began to take effect.

NIKKI:  Uh-oh, looks like this is it.  Tara has THE SCOTTI EFFECT locked in and Jennifer is fading fast.
PARIS:  NO!  Lindsey, do something quick.

While Gabrielle was checking to see if Jennifer was still conscious, Lindsey finally flipped Mercedes off
her and scrambled toward the ring.  Just as the official was lifting Jennifer’s arm for the second time, the
larger Beast slid into the ring and slammed a stiff forearm into the back of Tara’s head, thus breaking the
submission hold she had locked in.  Another forearm forced the Italian beauty to release Jennifer
completely and a third sent the Mafia Princess stumbling backwards.

When Lindsey tried to whip the stunned brunette into the ropes, Tara reversed the move.  As Lindsey
rebounded, Da Hottie dropped to the canvas just as Mercedes, who had jumped onto the ring apron,
leapt onto the top rope and used it to deliver a springboard forearm smash that sent The Beast
sprawling back toward the far ropes.  Enraged, the powerhouse quickly got to her feet only to receive a
double dropkick from Tara and Mercedes that sent her flying through the ropes and back down to the
arena floor.

Tara and Mercedes then spun around just as Jennifer was staggering to her feet.  The brunettes quickly
moved to either side of The Beast before they laced into the blonde with a pair of spinning heel kicks that
spun her like a top.  Before Jennifer could collapse, Tara and Mercedes completed their finisher,
CLICK
CLICK BOOM BOOM
[dual spinning heel kicks, dual superkicks to head combo].  Jennifer’s eyes rolled
back in her head as she collapsed to canvas.  As Tara covered the blonde, Mercedes cut off Lindsey
who was just climbing back into the ring and held her against the ropes while Gabrielle leapt into position
to count.

ONE…

TWO…

THRE-

At the very last second, Lindsey broke free of Mercedes’ grasp and dove onto the back of the Mafia
Princess to break up the pin attempt.

PARIS:  Whoa!  That was too close.
NIKKI:  Getting nervous, are we?
PARIS:  Uh….no….not at all.
NIKKI:  You should be; if Lindsey is a split-second later, the Beasts are out of the tournament.

Mercedes quickly scrambled back to her corner while Gabrielle was ushering Lindsey back to her
corner.  Tara grabbed the still dazed Jennifer by her hair and led her over to where Mercedes was
waiting with the tag.  The Persian Princess jumped into the ring and laced into the blonde with a
European uppercut that staggered The Beast.  A boot to her opponent’s stomach doubled over Jennifer
long enough for Mercedes to move, tuck her head underneath the blonde’s arm and then grab her
around the waist. The exotic brunette pivoted quickly and then drove her foe into the mat with a nasty
looking Saito suplex.

As Mercedes went to press her advantage, two women emerged from backstage and began heading
down the ramp toward the ring.  It was The Valkyries, Anna Larsson and Cecilia Soderstrom.
EPISODE 4
LOCATION: THE PYRAMID ARENA [MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE]
NIKKI:  We’ve got a true main event match now.  Tara Scotti and Mercedes Khani aka The Lethal
Weapons are taking on The Beasts, Jennifer Lynn Cowan and Lindsey Cope.
PARIS:  Personally, I think this is going to be a squash.  The Beasts aren’t called that for fun.  They are
going to destroy the so-called Lethal Weapons.
NIKKI:  I disagree.  While the Beasts hold the weight advantage and have the edge in strength, I think
the Weapons have the edge with technical ability and perhaps stamina.  Either way, this is going to be
exciting.  In fact, we may be looking at the eventual tag champs in this match.
PARIS:  Unreal….we agree again.  The Beasts will be the next tag team champs.
NIKKI:  We’ll see.  Now, it’s time to go up to Lillian Garcia for the introductions.

LILLIAN GARCIA:  This is an opening round tag-team title tournament match.  Your referee for this
contest is Gabrielle Reece.
CONTINUE TO NEXT MATCH
NIKKI:  Uh-oh…what are these two doing out here?
PARIS:  Probably just scouting these teams since they may face them later in the tournament.
NIKKI:  I hope that’s all they are doing.

Mercedes eyed the Nordic duo warily as she tagged Tara into the match.  The Weapons grabbed
Jennifer in a front facelock as Gabrielle began her count.  Tara and Mercedes lifted the smaller Beast
into air before driving her into the canvas with a wicked flapjack maneuver.  As Tara started to pull
Jennifer to her feet, Lindsey rushed into the ring and charged the Mafia Princess.  Alertly, Tara let go of
the smaller Beast and backed against the ropes.  At the very last second, Tara bent over and flipped
Lindsey over her back, over the top rope and down to the arena floor.

When Tara turned her attention back to Jennifer, the blonde had recovered and rushed toward the
brunette, ready to deliver a clothesline.  Alertly, Tara ducked beneath the blow and when The Beast
turned around, the Mafia Princess booted her in the stomach, doubling her over.  Quickly, Da Hottie
locked on a front facelock, grabbed a handful of Jennifer’s shorts and lifted her slightly into the air before
driving the blonde’s head into the mat with an implant DDT.

The Mafia Princess motioned to her partner as she dragged the very dazed Jennifer to her feet.  As
Mercedes entered the ring, ignoring Gabrielle’s protests, Tara locked a standing headscissors onto the
smaller Beast before she grabbed the blonde around the waist and hoisted her into the air.  Just as Tara
started to drive her foe downward, the Persian Princess leapt into the air and tucked her knees into the
small of Jennifer’s back before the Lethal Weapons completed their finisher,
W.M.D. [Powerbomb,
leaping Lungblower combo].  A howl of agony escaped Jennifer’s lips before her face contorted in pain
and she began to twitch on the canvas.   While Mercedes rushed over to block Lindsey’s re-entry into
the ring, Tara covered Jennifer and waited for Gabrielle to make the count.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE-

A split-second before Gabrielle’s hand came down a third time, the official found herself being pulled
from the ring.  Before she could identify her attacker, something smashed into the back of her head and
darkness took her.  Standing over the unconscious referee was Anna Larsson with a steel chair in hand.

NIKKI:  Damn those two.  The Weapons just had the match won and now they’ve knocked out Gabrielle.  
Can we get some help down here?
PARIS:  Uh….I must have missed that.  I had something in my eye.

Finally, Lindsey threw Mercedes aside and vented her rage on the rising Tara with a running boot to the
brunette’s head; the impact spinning her around before she crashed to the mat.  When The Beast turned
around, Mercedes came at her with an attempted leg lariat only for the heavyweight to catch the exotic
beauty in her arms.  Quickly, Lindsey raised her foe over head before she dropped The Persian
Princess down across her knee with a sick-looking backbreaker.

As Lindsey struck a double bicep pose over the rising Mercedes, a recovered Jennifer got to her feet
and hauled Tara to hers.  Showing little effects of her previous drubbing, the blonde military pressed The
Mafia Princess into the air before she walked over to the ropes and threw the brunette down to the arena
floor.  A stunned Tara writhed on the thinly padded arena floor as Anna and Cecilia hovered nearby.  

Meanwhile, back in the ring, Lindsey dragged Mercedes to her feet before hoisting the exotic beauty
onto her shoulders.  With a shrill scream, The Beast drove the Persian Princess into the canvas with
THE
RENO DRIVER
[Death Valley Driver].  The blonde dropped across her foe and hooked her leg for the
count only to realize a few seconds later that the referee was nowhere in sight.  Upset, the blonde got to
her feet and headed over to the ropes before she screamed her frustrations at Anna and Cecilia who
were still eyeing the stunned Tara but had surprisingly, not attacked the brunette yet.

NIKKI:  I think Lindsey may have had Mercedes pinned there but thanks to The Valkyries, there is no
referee to make the count.
PARIS:  I agree and I think Lindsey just had some choice words for Anna and Cecilia.

When Mercedes began to struggle to rise, Lindsey helped her up with a double handful of hair before
she locked on a standing headscissors.  The Beast wrapped her arms around the waist of the exotic
beauty before she flipped her high into the air and then viciously drove the brunette into the canvas with
her finisher,
THE BEAST’S WRATH [sit-out powerbomb] and a loud moan escaped the lips of the Persian
Princess upon impact.  Again, Lindsey looked around for a referee to make the count but there was none
in sight.  

Suddenly, a woman wearing a striped shirt rushed down the ramp toward the ring; it was Courtney Love.
JENNIFER LYNN COWAN
LINDSEY COPE
"THE BEASTS"
TARA SCOTTI
MERCEDES KHANI
"THE LETHAL WEAPONS"
ANNA LARSSON
CECILIA SODERSTROM
"THE VALKYRIES"
Choosing the better part of valor, Anna and Cecilia hopped over the ringside barricade, hoping to
disappear into the crowd.  Instead, as they looked backwards, the duo saw that Dina and Bethany were
still in hot pursuit, both following them into the crowd.

Meanwhile, back in the ring, with Tara clearly out of it, both Lindsey and Jennifer leapt from the ring and
reached underneath the apron.  A second later, both women dragged folding tables out and slid them
into the squared circle.  While Jennifer slid back into the ring to set up their new toys, Lindsey retrieved
one more table and slid it underneath the bottom rope before she rejoined her partner inside the ring.

NIKKI:  Uh-oh….this can’t be good.
PARIS:  I sense a highlight reel moment coming up.

As Tara struggled to rise, Jennifer took one table and placed it across the top ropes in the corner before
she climbed onto the temporary platform.  While she did, Lindsey opened up one of her tables and
placed it parallel to the corner makeshift platform about four feet away.  Not wasting a second, Lindsey
pulled The Mafia Princess off the canvas and handed her off to Jennifer who quickly hoisted the brunette
onto her shoulders.  While Lindsey held the temporary platform steady, Jennifer stepped to the edge
before she leapt off and drove Tara through the nearby table with a wicked Death Valley Driver.  The
tremendous impact caused a ‘HOLY SHIT’ chant to start throughout the crowd as Tara twitched amidst
the rubble of the destroyed table and Jennifer rolled away from the debris.

Da Hottie’s mouth was rimmed with blood when Jennifer kipped to her feet and grabbed the third table
Lindsey had brought into the ring.  As she did, Lindsey mimicked her partner and climbed onto makeshift
platform in the nearby corner.  When Jennifer placed the folding table across the chest of The Mafia
Princess, Lindsey tensed for a second before she leapt high into the air and landed a thunderous double
foot stomp onto the table, snapping it in two and completing their finisher,
THE MARK OF THE BEAST
[Death Valley Driver, Top Rope Double Foot Stomp combo].

The Beasts struck their classic back-to-back pose as Tara lay beneath the table, coughing up blood
while she twitched wildly.  While Mercedes lay outside the ring with a pool of blood forming beneath her
head, Jennifer and Lindsey pulled a semi-conscious Tara from underneath the table and pulled her to
her feet.  Lindsey quickly locked on a standing headscissors before she wrapped her arms around her
victim’s waist and hoisted her into the air.  A second later, Jennifer leapt into the air and as Lindsey
brought Tara down, Jennifer tucked her knees into the small of the brunette’s back and the pair nearly
destroyed the Mafia Princess with their finisher,
THE KILL [powerbomb, leaping lungblower combo].  
Tara twitched on the canvas wildly as she continued to cough up blood.  As Courtney got into position to
make the count, Jennifer knealt onto Tara’s chest while Lindsey placed a boot in the brunette’s crotch
and both women struck double bicep poses while Courtney made the academic count.

ONE…

TWO…

THREE!

DING!  DING!  DING!

LILLIAN GARCIA:
 Your winners and advancing to the next round of the tournament, The Beasts,
Jennifer Lynn Cowan and Lindsey Cope!

NIKKI:  This was a travesty and a set-up.  Once the Valkyries took Mercedes out of the match, it was
easy for The Beasts to dismantle Tara.
PARIS:  Excuses, excuses, excuses.  Just face it; the Beasts won and the Weapons lost.  Period.

With the match over, Dina and Bethany made their way back through the crowd and rushed down to the
ring and as they slid inside to make sure The Beasts didn’t indulge in any post-match shenanigans,
Jennifer and Lindsey exited the opposite side of the ring.

NIKKI:  I think all of this was a message for Dina and Bethany.  It’s clear that Heidrun and any of her
friends have it in for the duo.
PARIS:
 Well, we’ll get to see what Dina can do about it.  Her match is coming up next.  Let’s take a break
and come back with the main event.
DINA AL-SABAH
BETHANY HOWLETT
LILLIAN GARCIA:  Introducing first, standing five feet four and five feet six respectively and weighing in
at a combined two hundred sixty-five pounds, they are The Beasts, Jennifer Lynn Cowan and Lindsey
Cope.

Jennifer and Lindsey swaggered onto the stage beneath the JumboTron and promptly received a healthy
chorus of boos and jeers from the crowd.  Both blondes wore matching black sequined robes with
matching Ray-Bans.  Shaking their heads at the response from the crowd, the duo strode down to the
ring and climbed inside.  Like a fitness routine, the blonde removed their robes in unison to reveal simple
matching outfits; black halter tops with diamond cut-outs, black spandex workout shorts with ‘BEAST’
stenciled across the rear, black kneepads and black wrestling boots.

After the duo handed their robes and sunglasses to the ringside attendant, both women got on either
side of Gabrielle in an effort to intimidate the official.  The six-footer simply extended her arms to force
the blondes away and then warned both of them about not following her rules.  With smirks on their
faces, the Beasts backed into their corner to await the arrival of their opponents.

LILLIAN GARCIA:  And their opponents, both stand five feet six inches tall and weigh a combined two
hundred fifty-five pounds, they are The Lethal Weapons, Tara Scotti and Mercedes Khani.

Tara and Mercedes emerged from backstage to a thunderous ovation from the crowd.  While Tara struck
a few sexy bodybuilding poses, Mercedes nailed a few fitness acrobatics before she leapfrogged a
squatting double bicep pose from the Mafia Princess and struck double bicep pose of her own while Tara
finished with a cross-armed pose.  The duo wore outfits that were complete opposites in color; Tara
opting for the red halter with silver collar and trim, red spandex shorts with a wide silver waistband that
had ‘DA HOTTIE’ stenciled in red on the front and back, red kneepads and red knee-high wrestling boots
while Mercedes opted for a silver halter with red collar and trim, silver spandex shorts with a wide red
waistband that had ‘PERSIAN’ stenciled in silver on the front and ‘PRINCESS’ on the back, silver
kneepads and silver knee-high wrestling boots.

Both women slid into the ring and climbed adjacent corners to strike one final pose for their supporters in
the crowd before they came to center ring to get the instructions from Gabrielle and come face-to-face
with their opponents.  While Tara got nose-to-nose with Lindsey, Mercedes did the same with Jennifer
before Gabrielle managed to separate the foursome and order them back to their corners to await the
start of the match.

NIKKI:  The Weapons were clearly not intimidated there, Paris.
PARIS:  They will be once The Beasts begin pounding them into oblivion.

The new official slid into the ring and began the count.

ONE…

NIKKI:  Oh God!  Not like this….

TWO…

Just before Courtney made the final count, Mercedes, perhaps on instinct, slammed her legs together on
either side of Lindsey’s head, sending her rolling away and preventing The Beasts from winning the
match.

NIKKI:  Thank God.  That would have been a horrible way for this to end.
PARIS:  It’s only horrible because your girls are about to get pulverized.

Before Lindsey could resume her attack, The Valkyries finally made their move as they lifted Tara off the
arena floor and rolled her back into the ring.  Realizing that Tara would be the legal person in the ring,
Lindsey nudged Mercedes toward the ropes until she was on the ring apron.  Then, The Beast set upon
Tara who was just starting to rise.  Grabbing the Mafia Princess by the wrist, Lindsey started to whip her
across the ring only to abruptly stop and pull her back into a short-armed clothesline that nearly took the
brunette’s head off.

Lindsey whipped the still dazed Mafia Princess into the ropes and when she rebounded, the blonde bent
over for a back bodydrop.  However, Lindsey telegraphed the move and Tara laced into her foe with a
stiff kick that sent the blonde staggering backwards.  Da Hottie pressed her sudden opening as she
headed for the ropes again.  This time though, Cecilia reached underneath the bottom rope and tripped
the brunette sending her crashing face first to the canvas.

Like a shot, a recovered Mercedes raced from her corner along the ring apron, climbed the adjacent
corner and leapt from the top rope toward The Human Suplex Mistress.  Before The Persian Princess
could crash into the brunette, Anna moved in front of her partner and caught the exotic beauty in her
arms.  Not wasting a beat, Blade rushed toward the corner and slammed Mercedes’ spine into the steel
ringpost, eliciting a howl of agony from the Persian beauty.

The Persian Princess soon had more to scream about as Cecilia raced to the other side of the ringpost.  
The Swedish brunette grabbed the left arm and left leg of Mercedes before she placed a foot against the
ringpost and began to pull.  As the screams of the Persian beauty filled the air, Anna reached
underneath the ring, pulled out a steel chair and began driving the edge of it into the exposed ribs of
Mercedes.  When Blade switched tactics and began the flat surface of the chair into Mercedes’ torso, the
Persian Princess’ screams reached a crescendo.  After a quartet of stiff chairshots, the Valkyries finally
released their victim who crumpled to the arena floor in a heap, clutching at her ribs and back.

Meanwhile, back in the ring, with the referee still out of it, The Beasts were laying waste to Tara.  After
the brunette had been tripped up, Jennifer had climbed to the top rope and leapt off, nailing Da Hottie
with a sick looking legdrop to the back of her head.

Back outside the ring, Cecilia and Anna had retrieved another pair of steel chairs from underneath the
ring.  As the Valkyries stood on either side of the still agonized Mercedes, they waited for the Persian
beauty to get to her feet.  When Mercedes finally managed to stand, she turned around only for Cecilia
to slam her chair over the exotic beauty’s head.  The blow spun Mercedes around long enough for Anna
to repeat her partner’s chairshot; the second impact sending the Persian Princess crashing to the arena
floor.

The crowd began to boo heartily as Cecilia and Anna nodded toward each other.  When Mercedes lifted
her head off the arena floor, blood streamed down her face onto her chest and arms.  The Persian
Princess managed to make it to her hands and knees when the Valkyries swung for the fences and
nailed Mercedes with
THE NORTHERN CONCHAIRTO [dual chairshots].  Mercedes immediately
crumpled face down onto the arena floor and began to twitch wildly while Cecilia and Anna hi-fived each
other before they tossed aside their weapons.

Suddenly, two figures raced down the ramp with steel chairs in hand.  It was Dina Al-Sabah and Bethany
Howlett.
