ERICCA KERN
MONICA BRANT
Just as the referee signaled for the cage door to be closed, Monica rushed across the ring, leapt into the air and
nailed Ericca with a flying knee to the face that sent the blonde stumbling back into her corner.  The Icon moved in
and began teeing off on her opponent with thunderous right hands that soon had the blonde powerhouse slumping
in the corner.  As the official outside the cage slammed the door shut, Monica began stomping away at her foe as
she slumped against the bottom turnbuckle.  The Icon gripped the top rope for leverage as she stomped a
mudhole in Ericca while the crowd went apeshit.

With a look of fury on her face, Monica yanked her foe up with a double handful of hair and started to lead her
across the ring.  However, when Ericca put on brakes, The Icon simply spun around and slammed a stiff back kick
into the solar plexus of the powerful blonde.  Monica followed that up with a European uppercut that snapped back
the head of the blonde powerhouse.  The move allowed The Icon to grab Ericca by her hair and run her face first
into the steel cage.

JAMIE:  Whoa!  Monica just made Ericca eat steel.
LANA:  Ericca is so gonna make the has-been pay for that.

Monica was still boiling mad so grabbed a now bloodied Ericca by her hair before she could stagger away and
began ramming her face into the cage again and again.  The crowd’s count made it to ‘7’ before The Icon stopped
and started to grind the blonde powerhouse’s face into cage, bloodying her further.  After about ten seconds,
Monica’s anger began to wane and she released her opponent which allowed a very bloody Ericca to spin away
from the cage.  The blonde took a couple of steps before she fell face down onto the canvas.

The blonde powerhouse was still on the mat when The Icon attacked again and yanked her foe to her feet.  Monica
then slid next to Ericca and hooked legs with the bodybuilder before she hit a textbook Russian legsweep.  Not
wasting a second, the former world champion kipped back up and once more used Ericca’s hair to yank her up.  
Monica quickly locked on a front facelock, grabbed a handful of Ericca’s short and jerked her into air before driving
her into the mat with a snap suplex that had the heavyweight moaning and holding her back.

Before Ericca could recover, a seemingly possessed Monica leapt to her felt and raced over to her downed
opponent.  The Icon grabbed Ericca’s legs and tucked them underneath her armpits before she fell backwards and
slingshotted the rulebreaker face first into the cage again.  Ericca spun around and stumbled away from the cage
only for Monica to rush toward the ropes behind the heavyweight, rebound and nail her with a nasty running
clothesline to the back of the head.  The move sent the former bodybuilder crashing face first to the mat while the
crowd began to chant Monica’s name.

JAMIE:  Wow!  Monica is simply dismantling Ericca.  Guess it wasn’t wise to piss off a legend.
LANA:  Ericca is too tough to keep taking this.  She’ll come back.

The Icon hovered over her prey and began smacking the back of Ericca’s head with open handed slaps while she
taunted the bloodied blonde.  Slowly, Ericca struggled to her feet as Monica backed away and urged her foe to
‘just bring it’.  The powerhouse wiped the blood from her eyes and then sped toward Monica with murder in her
eyes.  Instead, The Icon caught her opponent coming in, lifted her into the air, spun around and planted the
bodybuilder with a thunderous spinebuster slam.

Ericca barely had time to hit the canvas and bellow out her pain before The Icon yanked her up by her hair.  
Monica locked on a bearhug before she tensed for a second, then pivoted her hips and flipped her opponent into
the air.  The move, a picture perfect belly-to-back overhead suplex, drove the blonde powerhouse into the canvas
and sent more ripples of agony up and down Ericca’s spine.

With her opponent stunned, Monica kipped back up, raced over to where Ericca had landed and grabbed the
powerhouse by her ankles.  Quickly, The Icon crossed her opponent’s legs over her own leg and then flipped
Ericca onto her stomach, locking on her finisher,
THE CULMINATION [Sharpshooter].  The blonde juggernaut
howled in agony as blood ran down her face and pain shot up and down her spine like an electric current.  When
Monica squatted down and leaned back as far as she could, the torque on Ericca’s back became too much for the
former bodybuilder and she tapped the canvas frantically.

JAMIE:  That’s it!  Monica has made Ericca tap out to THE CULMINATION!
LANA:
 Only one problem with that……submissions don’t count in this match.  Monica still has to escape the cage
to win.

After nearly another thirty seconds, Monica finally released her for and headed for the cage door.  As the crowd
began chanting her name, Monica stepped through the ropes and started down the steps only to stop on the
bottom step.  The Icon began shaking her head before she turned around, headed back up the steps and into the
cage again.  Ericca was still trying to shake off the effects of Monica’s finisher, so she did not see The Icon return
to the ring.

The bloodied rulebreaker was still struggling to get and still on her hands and knees when Monica sped toward her
opponent and nailed her with a stiff running kneelift that sent the former bodybuilder rolling across the mat.  
Monica wasted no time as she quickly pulled Ericca and locked on a front facelock.  Slowly, The Icon turned into
her foe before she abruptly dropped to the canvas and sent more ripples of agony through Ericca’s body courtesy
of the wicked snap neckbreaker.  

As Ericca lay on the canvas, holding her neck, Monica dropped to the mat, secured the juggernaut’s left arm and
then locked on her finisher,
THE BRANT LATCH [crossface crippler].  Despite the rulebreaker’s bloody face,
Monica’s grip was true as she pulled back with all her might and increased the torque on Ericca’s neck to
unbearable proportions.  A few seconds later, the blonde powerhouse again began tapping on the mat, signaling
her surrender.

JAMIE:  That’s why Monica is The Icon!  She wanted to make an example of Ericca because of what she and Debi
Laszewski did to her.
LANA:  Again, submissions don’t count in this match.  Besides, Monica has other problems to worry about now.

Just then, Debi Laszewski came running down the aisle.  The blonde stayed very low and quickly circled the ring
before she stopped at the side where the cage door was.  Monica, despite the cries from her fans didn’t see Debi
as she released Ericca and headed for the cage door, her arms raised in victory.  The Icon had just stepped
through the ropes and had her head out the cage door when Debi raced toward the cage door and violently
slammed it into Monica’s face.  The impact sent The Icon stumbling back against the ropes before she collapsed
on the ring apron; blood trickling through her fingers as she clutched at her face where the cage door had
impacted.
JAMIE:  Welcome back folks.  Now, we have a special match for you.  This match is not only dangerous because it
is a cage match, but also because both women hold extreme grudges against each other.
LANA:  Ericca Kern just wants to rid the wrestling world of The Icon, Monica Brant.  She has plagued Ericca
throughout her career and this will be the epitome of payback.
JAMIE:  Well, Monica is on a mission to make it back to the top of the pack and Ericca stands in her way.  Add in
the vile attack she and Debi Laszewski perpetrated upon Monica and The Icon is definitely out for blood here
tonight.
LANA:  I understand that neither woman wanted to be interviewed before the match.
JAMIE:  Both women just couldn’t wait to get their hands on each other.  So, let’s listen to the introductions and get
this underway.

RING ANNOUNCER:  This is a special grudge match with no holds barred.  No pinfalls or submissions.  The only
way to win is to escape the cage.  Introducing the participants….first, she hails from Boca Raton, Florida, standing
five feet-seven inches tall and weighing one hundred fifty pounds, here is Ericca Kern!

The former bodybuilder stormed onto the stage with a scowl on her face before she struck a double bicep pose.  
Greeted with a healthy chorus of boos, Ericca stomped down the ramp toward the ring, her anger clearly beginning
to build.  The powerful blonde wore a powder blue, one piece leotard with navy blue spandex shorts and matching
wrestling boots.

Ericca circled the ring, stopping intermittently to test the give of the steel cage before stopping at the cage door.  
The juggernaut slowly entered the cage after she warned to outside referee to do her job ‘or else’.  Once inside,
Ericca paced back and forth as she waited for her opponent to appear.

RING ANNOUNCER:  Her opponent, from Austin, Texas….she stands five feet-four inches tall and weighs in at one
hundred twenty seven pounds, she is The Icon, Monica Brant!

Monica emerged from backstage with a very serious expression on her face.  The Icon posed briefly on the stage
before she headed down the ramp toward the ring.  Wearing a white halter top with matching spandex shorts and
knee-high wrestling boots, the legendary blonde stopped outside the cage and regarded it solemnly.  Monica
grasped the links of the cage and shook to test its sturdiness before she circled the ring while Ericca paced back
and forth inside the structure.  Finally, The Icon climbed the stairs and carefully entered the cage while the referee
inside ushered Ericca back to her corner.
JAMIE:  Damn her!  Debi has just denied Monica a spectacular win in this match.
LANA:  She also has busted open The Icon.  Now, if Ericca has anything left, Monica is a dead woman.

Seconds ticked by as both women lay where they had fallen.  Finally, Ericca pushed herself off the canvas and
staggered over to where Monica was.  With a murderous look on her face, Ericca yanked The Icon off the ring
apron and pulled her into the ring.  The heavyweight lifted her opponent onto her shoulder and then ran toward
the far side of the cage.  Suddenly, Ericca stopped short and threw her opponent through the air; Monica’s face
smashed into the cage before she collapsed onto the ring apron as several small cuts opened on her face.

Slowly, the juggernaut lifted Monica off the apron and began rubbing her face into the metal cage, opening up her
wounds further.  Ericca then proceeded to pull Monica back into the ring, lift her onto her shoulders once more and
introduce The Icon’s face to the other three sides of the cage, only stopping to rub the legend’s face into the cage
after each impact.  But on the fourth side, the blonde powerhouse repeatedly smashed Monica’s face into the
unforgiving metal until the legend finally collapsed onto the ring apron.

A seething Ericca grabbed her bloodied foe by the hair and dragged her into the center of the ring.  Carefully, the
former bodybuilder locked on standing headscissors before she wrapped her arms around the waist of The Icon.  
Showcasing her strength, the heavyweight jerked Monica into the air, held her aloft for a few seconds before she
drove the blonde into the canvas with her finisher,
THE PRISON BREAK [Powerbomb]. Monica bounced nearly a
half foot off the mat before coming to rest in a twitching heap.

LANA:  Yes!  That is it.  Monica has finally been destroyed.
JAMIE:  Well, she still has to make it out of the cage.
LANA:  Awww, you sound as though you are about to cry.

Debi opened the cage door and Ericca headed for what appeared to be certain victory.  However, instead of
climbing through the ropes and exiting the ring, Ericca was handed something by The Blonde Bomber.  Ericca
slipped the item onto her right hand and everyone saw it was a pair of brass knuckles.

ERICCA:  Monica, after I’m done with you, nobody will be able to recognize you.

The blonde powerhouse pulled an agonized Monica up to a sitting position and began to smash brass-knuckled fist
after brass-knuckled fist into the already bloodied face of The Icon.  After a half dozen strikes, Ericca stopped,
dropped to one knee and sank her teeth into Monica’s forehead.  Blood began to flow freely down the face of the
legendary blonde as her screams filled the air.  The heavyweight stopped biting Monica and resumed using the
brass knuckles to open up the various wounds on Monica’s face.

Finally, after nearly a minute of punishment, Ericca dragged her opponent over to the ropes, pulled The Icon up
and draped her arms over the top rope before she pulled the second rope up and over her arms to completely trap
Monica in the ropes.  Ericca lifted Monica’s head to survey her damage and she had succeeded in making the
former champion a bloody mess.  Monica had four major cuts to her face which all seem to be streaming blood
steadily; one across her left cheek, one the corner of her right eyebrow, a deep gash between eyes over the
bridge of her nose and another deep wound near her hairline.

ERICCA:  Don’t go anywhere bitch….I’ve got something else to give you.

JAMIE:  Ericca has taken full advantage of the help from Debi and has almost completely destroyed Monica.  
Sadly, the match cannot be stopped because of blood loss.  If it could, the match would be over and Monica’s
torture would be ending.
LANA:  Oh, don’t worry.  I think Ericca is only getting started.  I think this really could be the end of an era.

The blonde juggernaut tucked the brass knuckles into the waistband of her short and then headed toward the
cage door where Debi was outside, ready to hand the heavyweight a steel chair.  The rulebreaking blonde took the
weapon and slowly headed toward her trapped opponent.  The sound of metal hitting skull had many in the crowd
turning away as Ericca nailed The Icon with the steel chair.  Monica’s eyes rolled back into their socket as her head
slumped against her blood-soaked chest and she fought to stay conscious.

With a sinister grin on her face, Ericca tossed the chair aside and then released a very bloody Monica from ropes.  
The former bodybuilder pulled her opponent to the center of the ring and then locked on an inverted facelock.  
With a handful of The Icon’s now blood-streaked shorts, Ericca lifted Monica into air before she drove her back
across her knee with
THE EXECUTION [inverted facelock suplex into a backbreaker].  A howl of agony came from
the bloodied grappler as she crumpled to the mat; her entire body twitching.

As she nodded to the crowd, Ericca pressed a boot into the chest of her opponent before she struck a double
biceps pose.  With the crowd booing loudly, the former bodybuilding spun around and headed for the cage door.  
The rulebreaker had stepped through the ropes and had one foot on the top step before she suddenly stopped
and began shaking her head.  The powerful blonde re-entered the ring despite Debi’s loud objections and stepped
over to where Monica still lay on the canvas.  The heavyweight then dragged her victim toward the cage door
before she stopped, bent over the blood-soaked blonde and spat in her face.

LANA:  Woo-hoo!  Ericca has just put her exclamation point on this great victory.
JAMIE:  That…..that was just evil.

Ericca reached the ropes and instead of heading out the cage door, the heavyweight began to climb the ropes.  
After the former bodybuilder reached the top rope, she reached inside her shorts, pulled the brass knuckles out
and slipped them onto her right fist.  The rulebreaker tensed for a second before she leapt through the air, intent
on landing a flying fist to Monica’s face.  Instead, The Icon suddenly came alive and raised her right leg.  Ericca’s
face smashed into Monica’s boot and the impact nearly took the former bodybuilder’s head off before her weapon
went flying and she collapsed to the canvas.

JAMIE:  YES!  Monica is not finished yet.  If she has anything left, she has an opening right now.
LANA:  The only opening she’s going to fill is in the intensive care ward.

Both women lay on the canvas motionless as the referee checked each competitor.  Just as the official began a
count, both women began to stir.  Slowly but surely, both women staggered to their feet though Monica seemed to
be the worse for wear.  Ericca gritted her teeth and then charged toward The Icon.  However, Monica showed she
had gotten her second wind as she caught the rulebreaker coming in, lifted her into the air and fell backwards.  
The flapjack maneuver sent the heavyweight smashing into the unforgiving cage before she crumpled to the mat.

A shaky Monica staggered to her feet and wiped the blood from her eyes.  The Icon stared down at her blood
drenched hand and the uncertain look on her face was replaced by one of pure rage and she began to shake.  
When the former champion looked to her left and saw the brass knuckles on the mat, her eyes narrowed to a glint
and she burst into action.  

Slipping the brass knuckles onto her right hand, Monica then nudged Ericca onto her back before she sat down
hard on the heavyweight’s chest, trapping her arms at her side.  The Icon then began to rain down thunderous
right hand after right hand into Ericca’s face.  The blows re-opened the wounds to the rulebreaker's face and
quickly added new ones which rendered the former bodybuilder as bloody a mess as The Icon.

JAMIE:  I think Monica has gone over the edge; she has nothing but revenge on her mind.
LANA:  I cannot believe what is happening.  There is no way she should even be standing now, let alone beating
the crap out of Ericca.
JAMIE:  That’s why she is The Icon.

Finally, Monica stopped her brass knuckles assault and stood up.  The Icon began shaking her head as she
regarded the bloodied Ericca that lay before her.  Slowly, Monica backed into the nearby corner and climbed to the
second rope before she took aim.  A second later, the legendary blonde leapt into the air and slammed her brass
knuckled fist into Ericca’s forehead; the flying fist smash caused the former bodybuilder to jerk spasmodically on
the mat for a few seconds before going limp.

Unsatisfied, Monica kipped back up and shot a sneer at her victim before she tucked the weapon into her shorts
and then crossed the ring to retrieve the steel chair that had been used on her moments before.  The former
champion dropped the chair beside her before she pulled her devastated opponent up and locked on a front
facelock.  The Icon then showed her underrated strength as she grabbed a handful of Ericca’s shorts, lifted the
nearly dead weight of the rulebreaker off the canvas and then drove the skull of the blood-soaked powerhouse into
the steel chair with
THE BRANT BREAKER [implant DDT].  A sick thud filled the air upon impact and once again,
Ericca began to twitch wildly.

LANA:  Somebody needs to stop this.  Monica has lost it completely and now she is out to cripple Ericca.
JAMIE:  If not for Ericca trying to do the same a few minutes ago, I’d agree.  Now, she gets what she deserves.

The Icon slowly got to her feet and regarded the semi-conscious Ericca.  With a double handful of the former
bodybuilder’s hair, Monica pulled her foe up until the rulebreaker stood on shaky legs; her face and chest covered
with her own blood.  Abruptly, Monica booted Ericca in the stomach and then grabbed the bent over grappler
around the head before she drove her skull into the mat with her finisher,
THE BKO [Diamond Cutter].  Monica
rolled to her knees as she stared at the face down blonde, her leg twitching the only sign of movement.

Monica wiped the blood from her eyes as she stared at Ericca and then at the cage door.  When the legendary
blonde asked the crowd if they wanted more, their response nearly took the roof off the arena.  Though her face
was covered in blood, Monica flashed a sinister smile before she pulled the semi-conscious Ericca up.  With great
effort, The Icon managed to get Ericca upright before she grabbed a double handful of the bloodied juggernaut’s
hair, leapt into the air while she raised her knees and then nearly obliterated Ericca with her finisher,
THE
ICONOCLAST
[double knee facebreaker].  The former bodybuilder collapsed onto her back and began to twitch
wildly as she drifted in and out of consciousness.  Still, Monica wasn't through.

The Icon leaned over her beaten foe and began slapping the bloodied powerhouse.  Finally, Ericca responded and
sat up briefly before she fell back to the mat.  Monica’s impatience showed as she pulled the agonized Ericca to
her feet and shoved her into the corner.  The Icon landed a devastating uppercut before she caught the slumping
rulebreaker, lifted her into air and deposited her onto the top turnbuckle.  Monica pulled her victim forward until
only her legs were on the top rope.  Abruptly, The Icon spun into her foe and drove her head into the mat with a
sick-looking
BKO [Diamond Cutter] from the top rope.  This time, Ericca bounced off the canvas and flipped onto
her back before she moved no more.

JAMIE:  Monica just served notice to everybody that she’s back and I don’t think any of the girls in the back are
going to want to see the new and improved Icon.
LANA:  She should be banned from ever wrestling again.  She just destroyed Ericca and I will be talking to my
friends on the board.  Monica cannot be allowed to get away with this.

With Ericca out cold, Monica turned toward the cage door to leave, but Debi was waiting eagerly.  The Icon shook
her head and headed back toward the corner where her opponent lay near.  Carefully, Monica began to climb the
cage while the crowd started to chant her name.  Debi screamed out her denial before she raced to that corner
and began to climb the outside of the metal structure.  Both women’s ascent was slow with The Icon a split-second
faster.

As Monica reached the top and swung one leg over the top, Debi grabbed hold of the top of the cage and reached
up to rake The Icon’s eyes.  The move allowed Debi to pull herself onto the top of the cage where the two women
began to trade right hands.  With each blow, their foe teetered on the top before they righted themselves and
responded with a haymaker of their own.

Finally, Monica responded with an eye rake of her own which nearly sent Debi flying off the edge of the cage.  As
she was teetering, Monica reached into her shorts, retrieved the brass knuckles and landed a thunderous
uppercut that finally dislodged the Blonde Bomber and sent her crashing into ring beside the unconscious Ericca.  
Monica managed a weak smile before she tossed the brass knuckles into the ring and began to climb down the
outside of the cage.  A few seconds later, she jumped the final few feet to secure the victory.

RING ANNOUNCER:  Here is your winner….The Icon, Monica Brant!

JAMIE:  YES!  Monica has just overcome a severe beating to soundly beat a very tough Ericca Kern.  And she got
some payback on Debi Laszewski to boot.  I think The Icon is ready to return to the AFW.
LANA:  Monica did like she did so often in the old FWF: she got lucky.  When she finally reaches the AFW, I think
the new blood they have will tear The Icon to shreads.
JAMIE:  Not the Monica I saw tonight.  In fact, I think she will shine like she always has.
LANA:  I just wish somebody would teach Monica a lesson.

Monica’s blood loss finally took hold and she collapsed as she was headed up the ramp to the stage.  Two
attendants came to the aid of The Icon and with each standing on either side of the bloodied grappler, began
helping her to the back.  Suddenly, a figure rushed onto the stage and blocked their path.  It was April Hunter!

APRIL HUNTER
Big Red quickly took out the attendants as she booted one on the crotch, sending him to his knees while she cold-
cocked the other one.  Face to face with her rival, April was ready when the bloodied Monica took a swing at her.  
The redhead ducked beneath the blow and grabbed The Icon’s left shoulder.  April then grabbed a handful of the
blonde’s shorts, lifted her into the air and spun around before she drove Monica into the stage floor with her
finisher,
THE GUNNSLINGER [standing tilt-a-whirl Rock Bottom].  A loud howl escaped Monica’s lips before she
rolled onto her side and began to twitch.

As the audience began to boo loudly, April gave them a one-fingered salute before she jerked the devastated
Monica to her feet again.  Big Red locked on a standing headscissors before she flipped the bloodied blonde into
the air and onto her shoulders in crucifix position.  Slowly, April walked toward the edge of the stage and flashed a
killer smile before she tossed Monica through the air with her finisher,
THE BIG RED BOMB [crucifix powerbomb].  
A second later, Monica crashed through an equipment table fifteen feet below the stage.  Attendants and medical
personnel rushed to where The Icon lay crumpled amidst the debris of the table and equipment; her body
spasming wildly while April nodded gleefully on the stage above.

JAMIE:  Dear God!  April Hunter has just destroyed Monica.  This is a disaster….and Monica needs help quickly.
LANA:  Guess somebody heard my wish.  I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the night.
JAMIE:  We’re out of time folks….and sadly, Monica may be as well.  We’ll have an update for you on our next
show.  Goodnight everybody.
