DING!
Ocean rushed from her corner, grabbed LaTasha in her arms and drove her back into her corner. The
Canadian beauty then began to pound the former centerfold with heavy lefts and rights as LaTasha did
her best to block the blows. Ocean looked down at Mavi and sneered as she tried to batter the blonde
into submission. When the clubbing blows dropped LaTasha to the second turnbuckle, the Canadian
Crippler allowed a smile to come across her face before she turned back to Mavi.
OCEAN: So I’m a has-been, huh? See what I just did to-
THWACK!!!
The resounding right cross from LaTasha across Ocean’s jaw resounded through the arena and sent
the Canadian beauty careening out of the corner in a daze. With the world around her spinning, Ocean
fought to stay on her feet as she stumbled across the mat like a drunken sailor. Her efforts were for
naught as LaTasha moved forward, spun around and nailed the former champion with a wicked spin kick
that caught Ocean right on the chin and sent her crashing to the canvas in a heap.
An enraged Ocean struggled across the canvas on her hands and knees as Monica held LaTasha back
and started a ten count. The Canadian Crippler had never been hit with such a wicked blow, nor
suffered the effects she was trying to overcome at the moment. Ocean made it over to the ropes and
began to pull herself up as Monica’s count reached six. At eight, Monica looked toward Mavi who
knowingly nodded and the official immediately suspended the count despite the fact that Ocean was only
halfway to her feet.
JAIME: I’m not sure which I am in shock from more; Ocean on the verge of being obliterated in record
time or the fact that Monica is clearly in there to do Mavi’s bidding.
DAWN: Keep it up; you’ll be looking for work again.
As Ocean made it to her feet, LaTasha moved in and began to unload on the former champion with a
martial arts flurry of thrusts, backhands, knees and kicks. Ocean sagged against the ropes as she
futilely tried to block all the blows. The Hardcore Knockout then dropped to one knee and sent a thrust
into Ocean’s solar plexus; the blow doubled over the Canadian beauty before she sank to her knees and
pitched forward onto the canvas.
The Hardcore champion measured her foe as she struggled to shake off her pain and catch her breath.
When Ocean made it onto her hands and knees, LaTasha landed a vicious scissors kick to the back of
the Canadian Crippler’s head. The impact flipped the former champion onto her back and allowed the
Hardcore Knockout to cover her while Monica dropped down to make the count.
ONE. . . . . . . . . . .
TWO. . . . . . . . . . .
Ocean kicked out but rolled onto her side as LaTasha laughed to no one in particular.
JAIME: LaTasha needs to stop laughing and continue her assault if she wants to continue onto the next
round in this tournament. She clearly has Ocean on the ropes.
DAWN: She’s just taking her time in dismantling the has-been.
As LaTasha hauled her opponent to her feet, Ocean snaked out with an eye rake, temporarily blinding
the buxom blonde. Quickly, Ocean lifted the Hardcore champion into the air and nailed her with an
inverted atomic drop; the impact sending shockwaves through the crotch of the self-proclaimed Venus.
The Canadian Crippler wasted no time as she bounced off the ropes and leveled the Hardcore Knockout
with a thunderous clothesline that drove her into the mat.
Ocean wasted no time as she hauled the buxom blonde to her feet and locked on a bearhug. With a
quick pivot of her hips, the Canadian Crippler lifted her foe into the air and drove LaTasha into the
canvas with a wicked belly-to-belly suplex. As the hardcore champion arched her back in pain, Ocean
measured her opponent before she drove a stiff forearm into the spine of the blonde. The impact
caused the former centerfold to roll across the canvas until she was underneath the bottom rope.
The former world champion moved quickly and grabbed LaTasha by her ankles. Ocean pulled her
opponent into position so that her neck was directly underneath the bottom rope. The Canadian Crippler
then tucked the blonde’s legs underneath her armpits before she fell backwards and whipped the
Hardcore Knockout’s throat into the rope and nearly taking her head off in the process. LaTasha began
to hack and cough just before she rolled onto the ring apron and rolled onto the arena floor in a heap.
JAIME: Now this is the Ocean I remember; lethal and deadly.
DAWN: I never said Ocean was still occasionally dangerous; but this won’t last long.
The enraged Canadian pushed past Monica and exited the ring, ready to do more damage to the
Hardcore champion. Instead, as Ocean pulled LaTasha to her feet, the blonde stopped her attacker in
her tracks with an eye rake. The Hardcore Knockout quickly spun around behind Ocean and applied a
hammerlock before she grabbed a handful of the former champion’s hair and started to throw her back
into the ring. Instead, the buxom blonde ran her foe’s left shoulder into the nearby ringpost with such
force that Ocean screamed out in agony as metal met bone.
Mavi smiled with satisfaction as the former champion grimaced in pain and LaTasha moved in to continue
her assault. The former centerfold yanked Ocean to her feet and pulled her into an embrace while she
twisted the Canadian Crippler’s throbbing left arm behind her back. LaTasha then shocked everyone as
she planted a passionate kiss on Ocean’s lips before she lifted the Canadian beauty into the air and
drove her into the thinly-padded arena floor with a sick looking spinebuster slam. Ocean’s arm bore the
brunt of the impact and the former champion writhed on the arena floor as needles of pain tap-danced
up and down her now further injured arm.
Ocean was given no respite as LaTasha yanked her to her feet once more and reapplied a hammerlock
to the Canadian Crippler’s nearly useless left arm. Again, the Hardcore Knockout grabbed a handful of
Ocean’s hair before she drove a knee into the Canadian beauty’s toned abs. Ocean stumbled away a
few feet with LaTasha in hot pursuit. The hardcore champion reapplied the hammerlock on Ocean
before she ran the Canadian beauty toward the now nearby ringside steps. Ocean slammed shoulder-
first into the steel structure with such force, the steps separated and the former champion flipped over
them and onto the arena floor on other side.
DAWN: Now that will leave a mark.
JAIME: That’s not funny Dawn; Ocean’s arm could be permanently injured.
DAWN: Duh; I think that is the point.
Inside the ring, Monica finally began a slow count on both grapplers as Ocean struggled up to her
knees. As she did, everybody could see that the impact with the edge of the steps had left a cut on the
Canadian Crippler’s left shoulder; a thin trail of crimson streamed down the limb. A look of satisfaction
crossed Mavi’s face as LaTasha’s face lit up like a child’s on Christmas morning. The Hardcore
Knockout then rolled under the bottom rope and into the ring to break up Monica’s count before she
quickly exited the ring again to attack her opponent again.
LaTasha headed over to the ringside barricade where she snatched a can of soda from a fan in the front
row. As the young man shouted at the former centerfold, LaTasha poured the remaining contents of the
can into her mouth. A second later, she spat the liquid at the shocked fan before she trudged toward
Ocean with a murderous glint in her eyes. The hardcore champion folded the can in half before she
began to the now sharp edge of the can into the cut on Ocean’s shoulder. Ocean’s screams could be
heard in the cheap seats as blood flowed down her arm and dripped off her fingertips. Still, LaTasha
was just getting warmed up.
When the Hardcore Knockout began to dig the weapon into Ocean’s face, many in the crowd turned
away in horror. LaTasha jabbed at her foe’s head before she finally began to gouge at a wound over
Ocean’s left eye. After nearly a half minute, LaTasha relented and backed away to admire her
handiwork. The cut on Ocean’s shoulder now ran from her shoulder down into her bicep and a gash
over her left eye ran through her eyebrow and basically rendered the orb useless. Monica started to
motion to the timekeeper to stop the match when Mavi shouted something at the international starlet in
Italian. Monica sighed visibly before she ordered the match to continue.
JAIME: Tell me why Monica didn’t just disqualify LaTasha for using that aluminum can to butcher
Ocean?
DAWN: C’mon; this is a title tournament match. Do you really think it should end on such a lame note?
JAIME: That’s not the point; the point is that LaTasha is clearly out to injure Ocean and this is not a
hardcore match.
DAWN: Doesn’t quite look like it to me.
Venus rolls a blood soaked Ocean back into the ring and quickly follows her inside. The Canadian
Crippler’s blood quickly leaves a smear on the canvas as she struggles to rise. LaTasha immediately
puts an end to that as she measured the former world champion before she nailed Ocean with a wicked
scissors kick to the back of her head; the impact dropped the Canadian Crippler face down on the mat.
Arrogantly, LaTasha nudged the bloodied beauty with her boot before she looked toward Mavi with a
smile on her face.
The hardcore champion yanked the bloodied blonde off the canvas and led her over to the near corner.
LaTasha quickly climbed onto the ropes until she sat on the top turnbuckle. Just as she started to apply
the first part of her finisher, PARADISE LOST [Seated Turnbuckle Figure-Four Headscissors into an
Avalanche Knee Facebuster], Ocean came alive and blocked the headscissors. The Canadian Crippler
waited for LaTasha to lean forward before she spun around and nailed the blonde with a sick looking
uppercut that nearly knocked the hardcore champion from her perch. Instead, Ocean pulled the stunned
beauty onto her shoulder before she drove LaTasha into the canvas with an improvised Death Valley
Driver. LaTasha bounced off the mat and lay still while Ocean rolled away in pain; the impact doing more
damage to her already injured arm.
Somehow, Ocean blocked out her agony and stood; staggering back into the near corner as she did.
Meanwhile, LaTasha had barely sat up, still trying to shake off the surprise move by her wounded foe.
When the Hardcore Knockout rolled onto her hands and knees, Ocean wiped the blood from her still
useful eye and ran forward with alarming speed. A second later, she had nailed LaTasha with a frightful
running kneelift that connected with the blonde’s jaw and lifted the hardcore champion off the mat. The
self proclaimed Venus came to a rest near the ropes and Ocean immediately went for the one-armed
cover.
ONE. . . . . . . . . . .
TWO. . . . . . . . . . .
Before Monica’s very slow count could end the match, LaTasha managed to kick out of the pin attempt
and roll into the ropes, hoping for a breather.
JAIME: Even with only only arm and basically one eye, Ocean nearly pulled it off just there. Love her or
hate her; that is the mark of a true champion.
DAWN: She better hope she can K.O. LaTasha somehow; if not, she is toast.
The Canadian Crippler took a deep breath before she got to her feet, pulling the Hardcore Knockout up
as she did. Ocean then displayed her strength as she picked up LaTasha with one arm, took two steps
toward the center of the ring and nailed the hardcore champion with a wicked across-the-knee
backbreaker that caused the buxom blonde to shriek out in pain before the Canadian shoved her foe off
her knee and onto the canvas.
Ocean hovered behind LaTasha as the blonde struggled to rise. When the hardcore champion finally
made it up, the Canadian Crippler spun her around, wrapped her arms around the Hardcore Knockout
and pivoted her hips before she drove LaTasha into the canvas with a textbook belly-to-belly suplex that
took its toll on both women. LaTasha arched her back in pain on the mat while Ocean clutched at her
wounded shoulder. Still, it was the Canadian who quickly got to her feet.
Just as LaTasha stumbled to her feet, Ocean shoved the hardcore champion into the nearby corner
where she proceeded to land kneelift after kneelift to the mid-section of the battered blonde despite
Monica’s objections. Finally, after a half dozen kneelifts, LaTasha dropped butt-first to the canvas while
Monica threatened Ocean with disqualification. The Canadian Crippler responded with a double bird to
the special referee before she grabbed the top rope and began to stomp a mudhole in LaTasha’s chest
and stomach and then walk it dry.
JAIME: Ocean has opened up a whole case of whoop ass on LaTasha. Mavi may fancy herself the
most dangerous woman in the federation, but believe me; Ocean wrote the book.
DAWN: This is just a momentary hiccup for LaTasha; remember, she is the hardcore champion.
JAIME: Right now, she doesn’t look like it.
Once again, Ocean flipped off Monica before she backed across the ring while LaTasha lay against the
bottom turnbuckle in a dazed state. Abruptly, the Canadian Crippler rushed across the ring and nailed
the prone Hardcore Knockout with a running knee to the face that Mick Foley would have been proud of.
As Ocean backed away, a chant rose from the crowd that stopped the bloodied Canadian in her tracks.
‘OCEAN’ ‘OCEAN’ ‘OCEAN’ ‘OCEAN’
The crowd’s reaction halted Ocean’s assault long enough for LaTasha to clear her head. When Ocean
approached the downed blonde, LaTasha fired off a weak right hand into Ocean’s stomach and the blow
had no effect as the bloodied responded with a clubbing right hand to the blonde’s back as she pulled
her foe from the corner. Ocean managed to pull LaTasha into a standing headscissors before she
nodded to the crowd and double underhooked the Hardcore Knockout’s arms despite the pain to her
arms. As the blood-soaked Ocean readied her foe for her finisher, THE OCEAN FLOOR [Double
Underhook Brainbuster Suplex], LaTasha countered the move as she dropped to one knee and nailed
Ocean with low blow that sent the former world champion to her knees.
As Ocean tried to shake off the illegal blow, LaTasha found a second wind and popped to her feet. A
second later, she ran forward and nailed the bloodied Ocean with a kneelift that sent the Canadian
beauty to the canvas. The Hardcore Knockout backed against the ropes as she waited for Ocean to get
up. When the Canadian Crippler started to, LaTasha stepped forward and nailed her opponent with a
wicked scissors kick to the back of the head, dropping Ocean back to the mat. LaTasha quickly rolled
the bloodied beauty onto her back and covered her.
ONE. . . . . . . . . . .
TWO. . . . . . . . . . .
Ocean finally managed to kick out of the pin attempt and roll onto her side as LaTasha and Monica
smiled knowingly at each other.
JAIME: I have no idea why the Board of Directors authorized Monica to referee this match; she is
horrible!
DAWN: Monica IS the board, dummy.
Dazed and still bleeding profusely, Ocean staggered to her feet only for LaTasha to move in for the kill.
The Hardcore Knockout began to land a flurry for martial arts strikes and kicks as Ocean tried futilely to
block them. Each time a blow landed on Ocean’s injured arm, the Canadian Crippler dropped both
hands and suffered another deadly combination. Finally, the former world champion sank to her knees
in a dazed state while LaTasha backed across the ring. Abruptly, the hardcore champion rushed forward
and landed her finisher, THE PINUP BLAST [Shining Wizard Kick]. Ocean crumpled like a cheap suit
after the move and LaTasha nonchalantly covered her dazed opponent while Monica dropped down to
make the count.
ONE . . . . . . . . . . .
TWO. . . . . . . . . . .
Somehow, Ocean lifted her good shoulder off the canvas and denied LaTasha the victory.
JAIME: LaTasha cannot put Ocean away it seems.
DAWN: No; Ocean is too stupid to cut her losses.
The hardcore champion hovered behind the battered Canadian as she struggled to clear her head and
make a last stand. After nearly a minute, a bloodied Ocean struggled to her feet and turned to face her
foe. As she did, LaTasha nailed the blood-soaked Canadian with a sick-looking spinning backfist; a wad
of blood flew from Ocean’s mouth upon impact. The former champion spun around once before she
sank to her knees in a daze. The hardcore champion measured her foe before she landed a vicious
spin kick that completed her finisher, THE MARZOLLA MASSACRE [Spinning Backfist To Jaw Followed
by Measured Spin Kick to Jaw]. Almost in slow-motion, Ocean collapsed in a heap; her breathing being
her only movements.
As LaTasha stood over the semi-conscious and blood-soaked Ocean, she looked toward Mavi who
nodded approvingly. The buxom blonde rolled Ocean onto her back before she knelt across the chest of
the former world champion while Monica dropped down to make the count.
ONE . . . . . . . . . . .
TWO. . . . . . . . . . .
THRE-
At the very last second, LaTasha yanked Ocean off the mat by her hair and forced the match to continue.
JAIME: I don’t know how wise that was on the part of LaTasha. She clearly had Ocean beaten
DAWN: I think Mavi may have something special in store for Ocean.
LaTasha again yanked Ocean up, this time by her now useless left arm; the move elicted a shriek of
agony from the tormented former champion. The Hardcore Knockout pulled Ocean over to the ropes
and quickly locked her arms in the ropes as Monica stood by wordlessly and watched. Again, the
hardcore champion leaned in and started to nail her foe with THE PLAYMATE BASH [4 Consecutive
Headbutts]. By the time the last headbutt landed, another cut had opened on Ocean’s forehead and the
blood that poured from the wound left Ocean looking like a victim from a horror movie.
The Hardcore Knockout walked back to her corner where Mavi awaited. As LaTasha leaned through the
ropes, The Black Widow handed her charge an object which the blonde quickly slid onto her right hand;
it was her custom-made brass knuckles. The hardcore champion slowly strode toward the still trapped
Ocean. Abruptly, LaTasha spun around and nailed the trapped Canadian beauty with a wicked backfist
that caused a spew of crimson to fly from Ocean’s mouth. Another brass knuckled fist crashed into the
side of Ocean’s face and opened a gash on the Canadian’s cheek. A stiff right hand followed and
shattered Ocean’s nose which quickly began to stream blood. The former champion’s head lolled
against her chest as Mavi nodded toward Monica who quickly called for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
Monica leaned through the ropes and told the sexy Mexican announcer of her decision.
NINEL CONDE: Monica Bellucci has disqualified LaTasha Marzolla due to use of a foreign object. Your
winner and advancing in the tournament….Ocean Bloom!!
JAIME: This smells like a set-up and I think Monica was in on it.
DAWN: Well, Ocean really looks like a winner, doesn’t she?
Mavi climbed the ring steps and entered the ring as LaTasha stood back and admired her handiwork.
The Black Widow walked up to the trapped Ocean and tilted her head up so she could look into the
unclosed eye of the Canadian.
MAVI: I want you to remember this moment Ocean, because when we face off, this will seem like a
carnival compared to what I do to you. At the conclusion of that match, I will offer you a choice: a rebirth
or oblivion. You will bow to me and pledge your allegiance or I will put an end your career.
Amidst a chorus of jeers and boos, Mavi turned and exited the ring with LaTasha following close behind.
The pair passed EMTs as they rushed to the ring to tend to the injured Ocean.
JAIME: Ocean will no doubt require a hospital trip, but she will advance in the tournament.
DAWN: Too bad that will probably be her final match ever.
JAIME: Don’t count out Ocean just yet; she is an icon and a champion. It will take a superhuman effort
for Mavi to defeat her; especially now she has such motivation.
DAWN: Keep deluding yourself and these fans; Ocean’s career is over.
JAIME: Let’s just go to a break and come back with more action.
Ocean rushed from her corner, grabbed LaTasha in her arms and drove her back into her corner. The
Canadian beauty then began to pound the former centerfold with heavy lefts and rights as LaTasha did
her best to block the blows. Ocean looked down at Mavi and sneered as she tried to batter the blonde
into submission. When the clubbing blows dropped LaTasha to the second turnbuckle, the Canadian
Crippler allowed a smile to come across her face before she turned back to Mavi.
OCEAN: So I’m a has-been, huh? See what I just did to-
THWACK!!!
The resounding right cross from LaTasha across Ocean’s jaw resounded through the arena and sent
the Canadian beauty careening out of the corner in a daze. With the world around her spinning, Ocean
fought to stay on her feet as she stumbled across the mat like a drunken sailor. Her efforts were for
naught as LaTasha moved forward, spun around and nailed the former champion with a wicked spin kick
that caught Ocean right on the chin and sent her crashing to the canvas in a heap.
An enraged Ocean struggled across the canvas on her hands and knees as Monica held LaTasha back
and started a ten count. The Canadian Crippler had never been hit with such a wicked blow, nor
suffered the effects she was trying to overcome at the moment. Ocean made it over to the ropes and
began to pull herself up as Monica’s count reached six. At eight, Monica looked toward Mavi who
knowingly nodded and the official immediately suspended the count despite the fact that Ocean was only
halfway to her feet.
JAIME: I’m not sure which I am in shock from more; Ocean on the verge of being obliterated in record
time or the fact that Monica is clearly in there to do Mavi’s bidding.
DAWN: Keep it up; you’ll be looking for work again.
As Ocean made it to her feet, LaTasha moved in and began to unload on the former champion with a
martial arts flurry of thrusts, backhands, knees and kicks. Ocean sagged against the ropes as she
futilely tried to block all the blows. The Hardcore Knockout then dropped to one knee and sent a thrust
into Ocean’s solar plexus; the blow doubled over the Canadian beauty before she sank to her knees and
pitched forward onto the canvas.
The Hardcore champion measured her foe as she struggled to shake off her pain and catch her breath.
When Ocean made it onto her hands and knees, LaTasha landed a vicious scissors kick to the back of
the Canadian Crippler’s head. The impact flipped the former champion onto her back and allowed the
Hardcore Knockout to cover her while Monica dropped down to make the count.
ONE. . . . . . . . . . .
TWO. . . . . . . . . . .
Ocean kicked out but rolled onto her side as LaTasha laughed to no one in particular.
JAIME: LaTasha needs to stop laughing and continue her assault if she wants to continue onto the next
round in this tournament. She clearly has Ocean on the ropes.
DAWN: She’s just taking her time in dismantling the has-been.
As LaTasha hauled her opponent to her feet, Ocean snaked out with an eye rake, temporarily blinding
the buxom blonde. Quickly, Ocean lifted the Hardcore champion into the air and nailed her with an
inverted atomic drop; the impact sending shockwaves through the crotch of the self-proclaimed Venus.

crossed Mavi’s face as LaTasha’s face lit up like a child’s on Christmas morning. The Hardcore

quickly exited the ring again to attack her opponent again.
LaTasha headed over to the ringside barricade where she snatched a can of soda from a fan in the front

Venus rolls a blood soaked Ocean back into the ring and quickly follows her inside. The Canadian

puts an end to that as she measured the former world champion before she nailed Ocean with a wicked

the prone Hardcore Knockout with a running knee to the face that Mick Foley would have been proud of.
As Ocean backed away, a chant rose from the crowd that stopped the bloodied Canadian in her tracks.
‘OCEAN’ ‘OCEAN’ ‘OCEAN’ ‘OCEAN’
The crowd’s reaction halted Ocean’s assault long enough for LaTasha to clear her head. When Ocean
approached the downed blonde, LaTasha fired off a weak right hand into Ocean’s stomach and the blow
had no effect as the bloodied responded with a clubbing right hand to the blonde’s back as she pulled
her foe from the corner. Ocean managed to pull LaTasha into a standing headscissors before she
nodded to the crowd and double underhooked the Hardcore Knockout’s arms despite the pain to her
arms. As the blood-soaked Ocean readied her foe for her finisher, THE OCEAN FLOOR [Double
Underhook Brainbuster Suplex], LaTasha countered the move as she dropped to one knee and nailed
Ocean with low blow that sent the former world champion to her knees.
As Ocean tried to shake off the illegal blow, LaTasha found a second wind and popped to her feet. A
second later, she ran forward and nailed the bloodied Ocean with a kneelift that sent the Canadian
beauty to the canvas. The Hardcore Knockout backed against the ropes as she waited for Ocean to get
up. When the Canadian Crippler started to, LaTasha stepped forward and nailed her opponent with a
wicked scissors kick to the back of the head, dropping Ocean back to the mat. LaTasha quickly rolled
the bloodied beauty onto her back and covered her.
ONE. . . . . . . . . . .
TWO. . . . . . . . . . .
Ocean finally managed to kick out of the pin attempt and roll onto her side as LaTasha and Monica
smiled knowingly at each other.
JAIME: I have no idea why the Board of Directors authorized Monica to referee this match; she is
horrible!
DAWN: Monica IS the board, dummy.
Dazed and still bleeding profusely, Ocean staggered to her feet only for LaTasha to move in for the kill.
The Hardcore Knockout began to land a flurry for martial arts strikes and kicks as Ocean tried futilely to
block them. Each time a blow landed on Ocean’s injured arm, the Canadian Crippler dropped both
hands and suffered another deadly combination. Finally, the former world champion sank to her knees
in a dazed state while LaTasha backed across the ring. Abruptly, the hardcore champion rushed forward
and landed her finisher, THE PINUP BLAST [Shining Wizard Kick]. Ocean crumpled like a cheap suit
after the move and LaTasha nonchalantly covered her dazed opponent while Monica dropped down to
make the count.
ONE . . . . . . . . . . .
TWO. . . . . . . . . . .
Somehow, Ocean lifted her good shoulder off the canvas and denied LaTasha the victory.
JAIME: LaTasha cannot put Ocean away it seems.
DAWN: No; Ocean is too stupid to cut her losses.
The hardcore champion hovered behind the battered Canadian as she struggled to clear her head and
make a last stand. After nearly a minute, a bloodied Ocean struggled to her feet and turned to face her
foe. As she did, LaTasha nailed the blood-soaked Canadian with a sick-looking spinning backfist; a wad
of blood flew from Ocean’s mouth upon impact. The former champion spun around once before she
sank to her knees in a daze. The hardcore champion measured her foe before she landed a vicious
spin kick that completed her finisher, THE MARZOLLA MASSACRE [Spinning Backfist To Jaw Followed
by Measured Spin Kick to Jaw]. Almost in slow-motion, Ocean collapsed in a heap; her breathing being
her only movements.
As LaTasha stood over the semi-conscious and blood-soaked Ocean, she looked toward Mavi who
nodded approvingly. The buxom blonde rolled Ocean onto her back before she knelt across the chest of
the former world champion while Monica dropped down to make the count.
ONE . . . . . . . . . . .
TWO. . . . . . . . . . .
THRE-
At the very last second, LaTasha yanked Ocean off the mat by her hair and forced the match to continue.
JAIME: I don’t know how wise that was on the part of LaTasha. She clearly had Ocean beaten
DAWN: I think Mavi may have something special in store for Ocean.
LaTasha again yanked Ocean up, this time by her now useless left arm; the move elicted a shriek of
agony from the tormented former champion. The Hardcore Knockout pulled Ocean over to the ropes
and quickly locked her arms in the ropes as Monica stood by wordlessly and watched. Again, the
hardcore champion leaned in and started to nail her foe with THE PLAYMATE BASH [4 Consecutive
Headbutts]. By the time the last headbutt landed, another cut had opened on Ocean’s forehead and the
blood that poured from the wound left Ocean looking like a victim from a horror movie.
The Hardcore Knockout walked back to her corner where Mavi awaited. As LaTasha leaned through the
ropes, The Black Widow handed her charge an object which the blonde quickly slid onto her right hand;
it was her custom-made brass knuckles. The hardcore champion slowly strode toward the still trapped
Ocean. Abruptly, LaTasha spun around and nailed the trapped Canadian beauty with a wicked backfist
that caused a spew of crimson to fly from Ocean’s mouth. Another brass knuckled fist crashed into the
side of Ocean’s face and opened a gash on the Canadian’s cheek. A stiff right hand followed and
shattered Ocean’s nose which quickly began to stream blood. The former champion’s head lolled
against her chest as Mavi nodded toward Monica who quickly called for the bell.
DING! DING! DING!
Monica leaned through the ropes and told the sexy Mexican announcer of her decision.
NINEL CONDE: Monica Bellucci has disqualified LaTasha Marzolla due to use of a foreign object. Your
winner and advancing in the tournament….Ocean Bloom!!
JAIME: This smells like a set-up and I think Monica was in on it.
DAWN: Well, Ocean really looks like a winner, doesn’t she?
Mavi climbed the ring steps and entered the ring as LaTasha stood back and admired her handiwork.
The Black Widow walked up to the trapped Ocean and tilted her head up so she could look into the
unclosed eye of the Canadian.
MAVI: I want you to remember this moment Ocean, because when we face off, this will seem like a
carnival compared to what I do to you. At the conclusion of that match, I will offer you a choice: a rebirth
or oblivion. You will bow to me and pledge your allegiance or I will put an end your career.
Amidst a chorus of jeers and boos, Mavi turned and exited the ring with LaTasha following close behind.
The pair passed EMTs as they rushed to the ring to tend to the injured Ocean.
JAIME: Ocean will no doubt require a hospital trip, but she will advance in the tournament.
DAWN: Too bad that will probably be her final match ever.
JAIME: Don’t count out Ocean just yet; she is an icon and a champion. It will take a superhuman effort
for Mavi to defeat her; especially now she has such motivation.
DAWN: Keep deluding yourself and these fans; Ocean’s career is over.
JAIME: Let’s just go to a break and come back with more action.
JAIME: We’ve got what could either be a mismatch or the sleeper match of the night.
DAWN: Mismatch? I have a source who says that Ocean is ripe for the picking.
JAIME: Ocean Bloom clearly has to be the favorite over LaTasha Marzolla; despite the impressive debut
match that LaTasha had.
DAWN: Impressive debut? LaTasha won a title in that match; the Hardcore Championship to be exact.
JAIME: Well, that certainly seems to indicate that she won’t be intimidated by the former world
champion. Right now, Shannon is backstage standing by with the Canadian Crippler. Shannon, take it
away.

Thanks Jaime. Standing next to me is the former World Champion Ocean Bloom. Ocean, this is the first
step in your march toward re-capturing your title.
OCEAN: That’s right Shannon; MY TITLE. I was never legitimately defeated for it and in this
tournament, I will prove that.
SHANNON: Well, you do have to face another champion in LaTasha Marzolla. Although she is a rookie,
LaTasha was very impressive in her debut.
OCEAN: LaTasha’s future may be bright, but her future tonight is set to be-
???: -the woman who broke Ocean Bloom.
Just then, Mavi Gioia walked up next to Shannon as she cast a piercing look at the Canadian beauty.

Just then, Mavi Gioia walked up next to Shannon as she cast a piercing look at the Canadian beauty.
JAIME: What the hell? Why is Monica Bellucci out here?
DAWN: Ssssh; she’s your boss too. Just shut up and do your job.
NINEL CONDE: Introducing first, hailing from Paradise, California, she is the reigning A.F.W. Hardcore
Champion. Standing five feet six inches tall and weighs in at one hundred twenty-two pounds, here is
The Hardcore Knockout, LaTasha Marzolla!!
LaTasha strode onto the stage from beneath the JumboTron with Mavi Gioia a couple steps behind her.
The Hardcore Knockout wore a bright red, reinforced teardrop halter top that had a black skull and
crossbones on each cup, black spandex shorts with red racing stripes around the waistband, red
kneepads and red knee-high wrestling boots with ‘Hardcore’ stenciled in black along the sides. Lastly,
LaTasha’s hands were tightly wrapped in white tape and her blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail.
The sexy blonde leaned forward to give the men in the crowd a good view of her ample assets before
she started to shadow box for a few seconds and then perform a few martial arts moves. Finally, the
Black Widow moved past her charge and headed toward the ring and LaTasha dutifully followed behind.
The duo entered the ring and LaTasha retreated into their corner while Mavi spoke with Monica in their
native tongue.
NINEL CONDE: And her opponent, she is from Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada. Standing five
feet-four inches tall and weighing one hundred twenty-seven pounds, she is the former A.F.W. World
Champion; here is the Canadian Crippler, Ocean Bloom!!
Ocean emerged from the back and was surprised for a second as she was not greeted with her usual
chorus of boos, but instead, an audible section of the crowd actually greeted her with cheers. The
Canadian Crippler wore a turquoise halter top with red trim, a matching choker and matching spandex
shorts that had ‘Ocean’ stenciled across the back in red and a wide, red waistband. The Canadian
beauty completed her outfit with turquoise kneepads and turquoise wrestling boots with ‘Canadian’
stenciled along the side of the left boot and ‘Crippler’ stenciled along the side of the right boot.
The Canadian Crippler slowly strode down to the ring and climbed onto the ring apron, never taking her
eyes off Mavi who was at LaTasha’s side with a smile on her face. Ocean carefully entered the ring,
staring daggers at the Black Widow every second. Monica ordered both women back to their corners as
Mavi mouthed ‘Good Luck’ at Ocean before she exited the ring and the timekeeper rang the bell for the
start of the match.
DAWN: Ssssh; she’s your boss too. Just shut up and do your job.

SHANNON: Uh….Mavi, I was conducting an interview with Ocean.
MAVI: You were conducting an interview with a woman who is a shell of her former self.
OCEAN: You have a few seconds before you feel as though you’re being shelled. Get lost Mavi.
MAVI: Tough talk from somebody whose last great match was against Dina Al-Sabah. Face it Ocean;
you no longer have that killer instinct. If you did, would I even still be standing?
Ocean turned away for a second before she spun and sent a haymaker toward the jaw of the Black
Widow. Instead, the steely-eyed brunette caught Ocean’s fist in the palm of her left hand and held fast.
A sneer came over Ocean’s face as she futilely tried force the punch through. When that failed, the
Canadian Crippler tried for a left cross that Mavi also stopped, this time in her right palm. Slowly, the
Black Widow began to squeeze and as she did, Ocean’s look of defiance slowly turned to one of fear.
Little by little, Mavi forced Ocean to her knees as she slowly forced the Canadian beauty to a submissive
position.
MAVI: Face it Ocean; you no longer have that killer instinct that made you feared around the wrestling
world. You busted Gail Kim up, but you could not put her away. Instead, she put you to sleep. Tonight,
you will taste your own blood and see the future of the AFW. But do not worry; you will advance.
Unfortunately, it will be to face me in the next round. And that will be the end of this Ocean Bloom…..and
the rebirth of the woman who was the most feared woman in the sport. But only if you submit to me
completely and let me show you the way. If not, I will break you and you will never be seen or heard from
again.
With that, Mavi flung Ocean to the ground, spun around and walked away, leaving the Canadian Crippler
laying on the floor in shock.
SHANNON: Uh….maybe you should take it back Jaime.
JAIME: What the hell just happened?
DAWN: Mavi Gioia just read Ocean Bloom.
JAIME: She had no right to interject herself into that conversation. Besides, Ocean has a very
important match coming up in a few minutes.
DAWN: Mavi, as usual, was playing mind games; this time with Ocean Bloom. Ocean, if you are smart,
you will forfeit before you have to face Mavi and then retire. Otherwise, I think Mavi will retire you.
JAIME: If I were Mavi, I would have thought twice about what she just did; Ocean has ended careers.
Mavi could be another notch on her belt.
DAWN: Dream on. Let’s just go up to the ring for the introductions.
NINEL CONDE: This is an A.F.W. World Title tournament match. Your special referee for this bout will
be a member of the Board of Directors; here is Monica Bellucci!!!
