*Edge & Regal promo*
Edge walks into Regals office.
Edge: “Regal, how the hell does Brock Lesnar get a title shot when he hasn’t even had a match in ROH?”
Regal: “well unfortunately, Brock’s deal was signed in a period of limbo and someone, I’m guessing Heyman, added a clause that grants him a title match, there’s nothing I can do.”
Edge: “Nothing you can do? What else is new?”
*Jefferson Promo*
Jefferson: “Hello everyone, and as you heard earlier regarding the Brock Lesnar situation, he was offered a contract and didn’t sign until the offseason back in the spring, and because of that, someone, and I’m thinking it’s you Heyman, added that stipulation…”
Heyman now stands up and says “not me!”
Jefferson: “… so, Heyman you better chose your words wisely, but that’s not why I’m here, I’m here because there’s a rumor, just a rumor, that the world is gonna end, so I was thinking and I couldn’t live with myself if the world ended and no one got the see Final Battle, so our PPVs are normally on Saturday… but I’ll make an exception this one time, so on Friday, December 21st, 2012… that’s right, Final Battle is happening on 12-21-12, and won’t just be one of the biggest shows of the year, considering the date, it may be the biggest wrestling event of all time… enjoy the rest of the show.”
*MVP vs. Tajiri/Tazz vs. The Posse*
MVP: “Welcome to another VIP lounge, last night I made Tazz my bitch, which would’ve happened anyway, but I do have to give credit to these men behind me, The man who convinced me to come back from that dump Japan - Teddy Long, The World’s Strongest Man - Mark Henry, The Knockout King – Michael Tarver, The Best Tag Team in recent memory, that was held down - Cryme Tyme and the one who sees through all of the conspiracies in this business – R-Truth...”
Truth then looks around him
Truth: “What about Lil Jimmy?”
MVP: “right, right, And Lil Jimmy, who is the best imaginary friend a crazy guy can have, Crazy in a good way Truth, crazy in a good way… anyway, guys, guys, Tazz is not just my bitch, but he’s a bitch to all of you as well, so Teddy pour some and lets toast to the memory of Tazz’s badass facade.”
MVP is just about to drink up when…
Tajiri comes down, accompanied by Nash and Hall, The Outsiders.
MVP: “Woah Tajiri, two old men are not nearly enough back up”
Nash now puts his hand up and begins to speak.
Nash: “now before you guys spam my twitter with questions, I must say that Tajiri has a lot of Yen, so for the time being, I will be Tajiri’s public speaker, you know he’s not good with English, then again, nether are half of you guys.”
MVP: “Listen here Nash, you better walk out of here while you still can.”
Nash “Hey, I’m from Detroit, don’t try to scare me…”
Tajiri then whispers into Nash’s ear
Nash: “No, I can’t call him and his crew that, he’d kill me and we’d get thrown off the air.”
MVP: “what did he say?”
Nash: “Well, Tajiri says that you are a fake Japanese, and that if you were man enough to face him for that FTW championship, he would beat the black off of you.”
Nash now hold his hands up as if to say ‘not my words’
Nash: “Tajiri also has one last thing to say.”
Just then Tajiri spits mist into the face MVP, then the Posse attack Tajiri and the Outsiders, the numbers are too much, when Tazz runs now to the ring and hits Truth and Tarver with big clotheslines but the numbers are still too much even for Tazz, Evan Bourne runs out to give the faces some help, Tazz and Nash are able to lift Henry out of the ring, Tazz now chokes out Tarver and Tajiri hits the big Buzzzaw Kick on Truth, the rest of the Posse including Henry walk up the ramp protecting MVP, The Faces all raise their hands in the air to end the segment, but Tazz walks up the ramp alone.
DECEMBER:
We hear from GM Regal who says it will be Tajiri vs. MVP for the FTW title at Final Battle, plus Tazz, The Outsiders, Evan Bourne, and, because he’s been begging for PPV match, Kofi Kingston, vs. the rest of the Posse.
MVP now goes in Kofi’s locker room.
MVP: “Kofi, Kofi, I know you’re going against my Posse at Final Battle, but I also know you’re not too excited about this match, so if you want, there’s always a spot in a Posse for you.”
Kofi: “P, I got no beef with you, but the only way I’d join your Posse is if I was the leader, so that’s a no”
MVP looks disappointed and walks off.
We now see Kofi Kingston walking backstage, when Evan Bourne runs up from behind.
Bourne: you ready partner?”
Kofi: “ready? Huh, what?”
Bourne: “you didn’t hear? We’re partnering with Tazz and Beer Money against MVP’s Posse.”
Kofi: “ugh… oh Evan, I used to be like you, always wanting to do the right thing, and it got me nowhere, one day you’ll learn.”
Bourne: “wait, you’re not with the Posse are you?
Kofi: no, I don’t believe in groups, I believe in being your own man.”
Bourne: “well, I can respect that, but you are kinda in the back of the line, I don’t see you getting booked in any other matches… I think you should give this a chance.”
Kofi: “I’m all ears… bell-to-bell.”
Just then The Outsiders walk in.
Roode: “Wow, Kofi, you’re sounding an awful lot like me, you know with worrying about the big payday and all, and onl wanting big matches, good to know at least one of you youngins have learned from me… Bourne you could learn some things, but hopefully you don’t drop the ball like Kofi did.”
Kofi: “What did you say? I dare you to say it again.”
“Shut up!” Says Tazz.
Tazz: “The way I see it, you guys don’t have to get along or even like each other, just stand on the apron, I don’t need a team, and I don’t need my back watched.”
“Fine by me.” Says Kofi, as the rest just nod.
*Beer Money vs. The Hardys*
Roode: “Well, we made quick work of the supposed world’s greatest tag team, and it seems that we don’t have any competition left, so any 2 guys who want to team up, either in that locker room… or in someone else’s locker room that want to actually give us a challenge, please, we’re begging you, whoever it may be, to take your balls out of your purse, and face us at Final Battle…
Storm: “that’s right, there ain’t no way in hell Beer Money is gonna be left off the biggest show of the year, or of all time just cause no one wants to face us, so any 2 guys in ROH, heck, any 2 guys from any of the big 2 companies can come down here and see what real wrestling’s all about… heck, we’ll even put these titles on the line.”
Beer Money face off against Rollins and Kaval of The Prophecy, after a 20 minute match, Beer Money pick up the win when Roode pins Kaval after a whiplash neckbreaker, Beer Money hold their titles and celebrate… when Jeff and Matt Hardy run down to the ring and hit Beer Money in the back with chairs, Storm gets up on a knee when The Hardys hit a con-chair-to the Storm, Matt then grabs Roode, puts his head in the chair, and hits the Twist of Fate in the chair… Beer Money are down in pain as Matt grabs a mic.
Matt: “We accept your challenge, Beer Money, prepare to wrestle in a league where your tag team accomplishments mean nothing and are flushed down the toilet.”
Matt now hands it to Jeff who crouches down and looks down on Roode.
Jeff: “in fact, we’re so confident we’re gonna beat you, and since we’d love to scare to NWA brass, me and Matthew are gonna put the NWA titles on the line too… see you at Final Battle, if you can make it.”
*Danielson vs. Angle*
Bryan: “Credit to Jericho, Last month proved that you never take Chris Jericho lightly, however, I proved that I’m the best wrestler in the world and we are now on the road to Final Battle, one of our big shows, and considering the date it’s being held on, it may be the biggest wrestling even of all time, so I gotta know, who has the guts to face the new Best in the World at the biggest show of 2012.”
Angle: “I’m back, management did convince me to comeback, under one condition, the condition on which I came back was that I get another shot at you for that Pure Title, I looked back at my tapes, and realized that my downfall started when I lost to you years ago, I haven’t been the same since, I want you at Final Battle, and if I lose it might be my final battle… but trust me, I won’t lose.”
Bryan: “Kurt Angle and Bryan Danielson, one last time? You’re on Kurt, I’ll be glad to beat you again, and send you off crying one more time, but if I lose I’m gone from ROH, so why don’t we do this, the best way we can, the way this rivalry between us should end, considering you’re in my house, this is Ring of Honor, how about we have a classic ROH style match, you and me, 2 out of 3 falls.”
Bryan holds his hand out, and Angle shakes it… then Headbutts Bryan, Angle walks out of the ring as Bryan gets up and stares a hole in Angle.
*Ambrose vs. Jake Roberts*
Ambrose: Last month, I knocked the Big Show flat on his ass, I now ask if that was good enough… quite frankly I don’t care, I really don’t care if that was good enough, I beat that giant, I put this knee right here, and ran it into that bald head, and I could hear his head snap back, and skull damn near fracture, so whoever else wants to tame the beast, just try me.
Jake: You sound familiar, Dean I’ve seen you around town, taking out the big man Abyss and destroying the giant Big Show, but I think think you have what it takes, everyone you’ve faced is some kind of freak, you think you’re smarter than me, I know I’m smarter then you… if you want to prove otherwise, you’ll get snake-bit…
Ambrose looks like he’s gonna respond, when he swings at Jake, but he ducks and slaps Ambrose in the face, Ambrose and AJ roll out of the ring with Ambrose looking frustrated and Jake smiles.
*Aries vs. HHH*
Aries: “William Regal get out here, I need to know why I’m not the number one contender.”
Regal: “Austin, Brock Lesnar is the number one contender and I can’t change that, but if you want to be the number contender so badly, I will let you be the number 2 contender… if you beat Triple H.”
Aries: “beat Triple H? no, I’m not having a match with him, he won last night, our feud is done, I’m done with him”
Regal: “you’re right, you don’t have to face Triple H, you also don’t have to be the number one contender…”
Aries: “fine, I will accept a one-on-one match with Triple H, only on 2 conditions, 1, I will be the number one contender when I win, and 2, my followers Seth Rollins and Kaval get a tag title shot against Beer Money.”
Regal: “So you’ll accept the match against Triple H, if they get a title match, and it’s a number one contender match?”
Aries: “Yes.”
Regal: “okay then, at Final Battle it will be You vs. Triple H, and to make sure there’s no DQ’s and that this feud is finished at Final Battle, it will be a Last Man Standing.”
Aries yells “No!” at Regal,
Regal: “remember Aries, if you win, you get a World Title match…”
Aries gives Regal a pissed off look as he walks off.
DECEMBER:
Rollins and Kaval do get their match against Beer Money, but Beer Money pin them and retain their titles.
Aries comes out to cut a promo.
Aries: “this thing between me and Triple H started 2 years ago when Triple H wanted to take over, we wanted to bring Sports Entertainment to Ring Of Honor, that move started a civil war that lasted a while, people still ask who won that war, some say that the mainstream won with the introduction of the “new vision of ROH” but I say I won, Considering Triple H is the only revolution member left, and The Prophecy are all still here.
While yes it’s true, at Supercard, he did bloody me, he did not eliminate me, and his ego can’t deal with the fact that he can’t beat me, he couldn’t beat me at Supercard, he couldn’t pin me at Best in the World, and he couldn’t beat me at Driven, he just can’t beat me, I knew that even if Triple H somehow defeated me at Driven, he still would’ve wanted more of me, so I figured, why risk an injury, when he’s not gonna be satisfied either way? The Last Man Standing match however, will be much, much different.
Triple H at Final Battle I will beat you down so bad, it’ll make the beating Stephanie’s lawyers gave you look easy, not only will you not be able to stand, your big ego will be so hurt, you won’t be able to come back.”
Triple H comes out to cut a promo, with a sledgehammer in hand.
Triple H: “7 months, for 7 months Austin Aries, and his cronies have been thorns in my side,
9 months ago at Supercard, I beat the hell out of him inside of a cell, and that match made me feel like myself again and I was done with you Aries, but then 7 months ago you pepper sprayed my face, at Best in the World I was so close to beating the crap out of you when you ran away, then 4 months ago, at Caged Collision, you cost me a match against 2 jobbers, which was the lowest point in my career, and from then on, I was no longer worried about beating you in a match, I was determined to make your life hell, I was determined to destroy you. So you’re right, whatever I did at Driven was not gonna be good enough, but even then you couldn’t leave well enough alone, you couldn’t be a man, and had to run like a coward, so at Final Battle-”
Kaval and Rollins comes out to attack Triple H, but they slow down once they get to the ring and see the sledgehammer, Triple H goes to attack then when Aries runs from behind with a sledgehammer of his own, and hits Triple H in the back, then grabs him and hits the brainbuster.
Rollins now hands Aries a mic.
Aries: “you know Hunter, I never thought you’d be the kind of guy to hang on too long, but it turns out everything I’ve heard about you I true, you gotta hang on to the spotlight, at Final Battle, that spotlight will crash down on you, and cost you everything, from your career, to your health, to your legacy.”
then walk off with Rollins and Kaval raising his hands.
*Jericho vs. Richie Steamboat*
Jericho: “Yeah yeah I lost, big deal, I’m not worried about that, what I want to talk about is someone who is pissing on every childhood memory I have, so Richie Steamboat, get out here now.”
Steamboat: “Ok Jericho, what do you want?”
Jericho: ”I’ll tell you what I want, what I want is to beat you senseless, you ungrateful bastard”
Steamboat: “hey Jericho, you sound a little jealous that time has passed you by”
Jericho: “Passed me by? I’d rather have time pass me by, then never come. You see Richie, most kids have Hulk Hogan slamming Andre The Giant, my wrestling moment is Ricky Steamboat winning the World Title, he is a hero of mine, you never, ever, doubt Ricky Steamboat… you on the other hand, you’ll be lucky to get off the mat when I’m done with you.”
Steamboat: “oh really? And why would I accept a match with you?”
Jericho: “Hmmm. lets see, former world champion, perhaps the most popular guy on the roster, and a few years ago I had a match with your dad that I thought would be easy, he took me to the limit, and came ‘this close’ to defeating me on the biggest stage, how much of an impact would it make if you did what your dad couldn’t do… defeat Chris Jericho.”
Richie: “well Jericho, if you want it so badly-“
Vickie: “Excuse me!”
Eddie: hold on Richie, you don’t have to answer that.
Jericho: Eddie, what the hell are you doing out here, this has nothing to do with you
Eddie: yes it does Chris, you know I respect you, but Richie here is the future, holmes, he has that killer instinct that his dad and even you lately have lacked since you came back with this nice guy act, esse.
Jericho: “okay Eddie, I get it, I lose a lot, but at least I have matches, Esse, You’re sounding like a hypocrite… yeah, a hypocrite who surrounds himself with parasite, both of whom leach off of their genealogy like a couple of sycophants, and if they wanted to joust me, they would be eviscerated decisively and my victory would be axiomatic.”
Eddie: “Look here Jericho, it’s not my fault the future is right in front of me and has let me guide his career, while you are stuck in the past.”
Jericho: “Run his career? Run it into the ground maybe, C’mon Steamboat, be a man and accept my offer for a match.”
Eddie: You know what Jericho, if you think you’re so good, how about at the end of the month, if you beat me in a match, I’ll let you have a match against Richie at Final Battle.
DECEMBER:
Eddie comes to the ring accompanied by Vickie and Richie, it’s a hard fought match, Jericho goes for the lionsault but Richie pulls the second rope down, but Jericho lands on Richie and punches him, this leads to the ref calling the match, Jericho getting the win, Jericho goes back in the ring when Chavo returns, comes out and gets hit with a code breaker, but this allows Richie and Eddie to double team Jericho, Eddie hits a frog splash, then raises Richie’s hand in victory.
*Edge vs. Brock Lesnar*
It’s time for Edge and Brock Lesnar to have their contract signing.
Jefferson: “I know we don’t usually do contract signings, but considering the press we’ve gotten from Brock Lesnar’s being here, and the tricks he pulled to get a title match, I figured I should look over and see that everything is how I want it, and I figured it’s appropriate that we do one of these…”
“First, he is an amateur wrestling champion, a former pro-wrestling world champion, and a MMA heavyweight champion, accompanied by his manager Paul Heyman, please welcome Brock Lesnar…
And his opponent, he is a 8 time world champion, and been the current Champion for 6 months, he is the Rated-R Superstar, Edge…”
Both men stare off and sign the contract.
Jefferson: “Alright gentlemen, just so you know, the rules are one fall to a finish, or first to a submission, if you get Disqualified, too bad, if you get counted out, better luck next time… I will now open it up for any comments you two wanna make.”
Edge: “So Brock, you think you’re gonna take this away from me? This, the title that I’ve held for 6 months, a title that I won while I was injured, a Title I’ve defended in matches like a steel cage? You will have to kill me to take this title from my hands.“
Heyman: “You won the championship beating a guy who had already had a grueling match, then you won a cage, with a hurt wrestler, then you beat someone who’s pretty much a rookie and made a mistake, now you have to face a monster in Brock Lesnar, the man who will not just be a champion, but will make your life miserable, and take you out of that misery… that’s right Edge, I’ve heard the rumors that your body isn’t 100% and once you lose that title, you’ll go the way of Randy Orton, Brock promises you that your last performance will be not just career defining but career ending.”
Edge: “Paul, I think you need to recheck your sources, cause I’ve never felt better, and if I didn’t feel 100% going into a match with Brock Lesnar, I would lay this title on the table and walk away, but you don’t see me doing that, do you? No. Brock is a beast, no doubt, he is perhaps the best athlete here, but he’s as dumb as rocks, Brock, you don’t have a mind for this, yes, you’re big and bad, but in the end guys always get the better of you, for 6 months I’ve gotten the better of everyone I’ve faced. Also I have to ask once I beat you, are you gonna throw a bitch-fit and quit again? Run away with your bad Tapout-Affliction shirts? Or donate your hair to the Paul Heyman toupée fund?”
Brock now grabs the microphone from Heyman.
Edge: “Please for the love of god, hand the mic back to Heyman, in fact, we’ve already signed this, so if you’re gonna talk, me and all these people are gonna go to the bathroom, goodnight everyone...”
Brock: “Edge, I thought you should know, December 21st will be the end, the start of the end of ROH, and the real revolution will begin.”
*(Rumored) Retirees Interviews*
Edge: It’s true I won this title hurt, and my neck continued to hurt for a while, but I feel fine now, so I have no plans to retire, the rumors and dirtsheets are wrong, do I want Christian Cage here? Sure I do, would I love to tag with him? No doubt, he’s like a brother to me… but I don’t plan on leaving, I’m not counting the days till my contract is up, and if my contract ended tomorrow, I’d re-sign.
Angle: I lost to Steamboat, Kofi, and then Tajiri, no disrespect to them, but I know I’m better then all of those guys, Tajiri squashed me, that does not happen to Kurt Angle…
Jericho: When Wrestling isn’t fun anymore, I’ll retire, and right now, you asking these stupid questions isn’t fun, and watching Richie piss on his dads legacy isn’t fun… but luckly for me, I won’t have to deal with that after Final Battle.
Bryan: As everyone knows, this title is the only reason I’m back, not cause I hate this place, but because the WWF has me on contract for a long, long time, so my plan, my idea in this comeback is quite frankly to never lose this title, but realistically I’m gonna make it to Best in the World, when ROH comes to the best wrestling arena, MSG, and see the company I built and put on the map, on their biggest night.
HHH: When I watched the original draft back in 2009, I was surprised to learn that I was drafted to TNA, and had to do comedy segments, which Kevin Nash was proud of me for doing, and was a perfect spot for him, I felt like a 2 dollar whore, but I took the money, and as soon as I could, I bolted to the WWF.
When I came to the WWF, I joined up with Shawn Michaels, a dear friend, but lets just say it’s probably better for our friendship that we’re in different companies, he was in a bad place at that time, me too, plus, I thought I would be treated with the same respect I had before, but the owner there had vendetta against me, and after he fed me to Undertaker and whored me out for a few buyrates, the very second the legally could, he traded me for whoever he could find…
Once I came to ROH, my confidence had been shattered to the point where I thought I was nothing better than a lackey to Randy Orton, even slitting the owner-at-the-time’s head open with a sledgehammer didn’t change anything, fast forward 2 years and it’s Super-Card 3, and I’m stuck in Satan’s playground, where ironically I find that fire in me again, I beat the holy hell out of Aries in the cell, and that started this feud with me and him, we’ve fought back and forth but after Aries cost me my match at Caged Collision, and I lost to two jobbers, that right there was the lowest point in my career, I went back to my hotel planning to hang up my boots, when I got a phone call from Kevin Nash, he told me that he knew a loophole that would allow me to face Aries at the next PPV, so I do have to thank Nash for me still being here. Aries said that win was a fluke, and he’s right, he’s right until Final Battle, when I’ll beat the shit out of him, at this very moment, I feel like my old self again, so if Austin Aries somehow beats me at Final Battle, I just might retire, and he just might be the greatest, but either way, the only one to know the answer will be me, at Final Battle Austin Aries will not just deal with 6 months of frustration, he’s gonna deal with 3 and a half years of being held down, spit on, and beat up, 3 and half years of frustration, you guys shouldn’t be asking me about my retirement, but after Final Battle, you’ll be asking Austin Aries about his.
*Coach runs down the card*

Edge walks into Regals office.
Edge: “Regal, how the hell does Brock Lesnar get a title shot when he hasn’t even had a match in ROH?”
Regal: “well unfortunately, Brock’s deal was signed in a period of limbo and someone, I’m guessing Heyman, added a clause that grants him a title match, there’s nothing I can do.”
Edge: “Nothing you can do? What else is new?”
*Jefferson Promo*
Jefferson: “Hello everyone, and as you heard earlier regarding the Brock Lesnar situation, he was offered a contract and didn’t sign until the offseason back in the spring, and because of that, someone, and I’m thinking it’s you Heyman, added that stipulation…”
Heyman now stands up and says “not me!”
Jefferson: “… so, Heyman you better chose your words wisely, but that’s not why I’m here, I’m here because there’s a rumor, just a rumor, that the world is gonna end, so I was thinking and I couldn’t live with myself if the world ended and no one got the see Final Battle, so our PPVs are normally on Saturday… but I’ll make an exception this one time, so on Friday, December 21st, 2012… that’s right, Final Battle is happening on 12-21-12, and won’t just be one of the biggest shows of the year, considering the date, it may be the biggest wrestling event of all time… enjoy the rest of the show.”
*MVP vs. Tajiri/Tazz vs. The Posse*
MVP: “Welcome to another VIP lounge, last night I made Tazz my bitch, which would’ve happened anyway, but I do have to give credit to these men behind me, The man who convinced me to come back from that dump Japan - Teddy Long, The World’s Strongest Man - Mark Henry, The Knockout King – Michael Tarver, The Best Tag Team in recent memory, that was held down - Cryme Tyme and the one who sees through all of the conspiracies in this business – R-Truth...”
Truth then looks around him
Truth: “What about Lil Jimmy?”
MVP: “right, right, And Lil Jimmy, who is the best imaginary friend a crazy guy can have, Crazy in a good way Truth, crazy in a good way… anyway, guys, guys, Tazz is not just my bitch, but he’s a bitch to all of you as well, so Teddy pour some and lets toast to the memory of Tazz’s badass facade.”
MVP is just about to drink up when…
Tajiri comes down, accompanied by Nash and Hall, The Outsiders.
MVP: “Woah Tajiri, two old men are not nearly enough back up”
Nash now puts his hand up and begins to speak.
Nash: “now before you guys spam my twitter with questions, I must say that Tajiri has a lot of Yen, so for the time being, I will be Tajiri’s public speaker, you know he’s not good with English, then again, nether are half of you guys.”
MVP: “Listen here Nash, you better walk out of here while you still can.”
Nash “Hey, I’m from Detroit, don’t try to scare me…”
Tajiri then whispers into Nash’s ear
Nash: “No, I can’t call him and his crew that, he’d kill me and we’d get thrown off the air.”
MVP: “what did he say?”
Nash: “Well, Tajiri says that you are a fake Japanese, and that if you were man enough to face him for that FTW championship, he would beat the black off of you.”
Nash now hold his hands up as if to say ‘not my words’
Nash: “Tajiri also has one last thing to say.”
Just then Tajiri spits mist into the face MVP, then the Posse attack Tajiri and the Outsiders, the numbers are too much, when Tazz runs now to the ring and hits Truth and Tarver with big clotheslines but the numbers are still too much even for Tazz, Evan Bourne runs out to give the faces some help, Tazz and Nash are able to lift Henry out of the ring, Tazz now chokes out Tarver and Tajiri hits the big Buzzzaw Kick on Truth, the rest of the Posse including Henry walk up the ramp protecting MVP, The Faces all raise their hands in the air to end the segment, but Tazz walks up the ramp alone.
DECEMBER:
We hear from GM Regal who says it will be Tajiri vs. MVP for the FTW title at Final Battle, plus Tazz, The Outsiders, Evan Bourne, and, because he’s been begging for PPV match, Kofi Kingston, vs. the rest of the Posse.
MVP now goes in Kofi’s locker room.
MVP: “Kofi, Kofi, I know you’re going against my Posse at Final Battle, but I also know you’re not too excited about this match, so if you want, there’s always a spot in a Posse for you.”
Kofi: “P, I got no beef with you, but the only way I’d join your Posse is if I was the leader, so that’s a no”
MVP looks disappointed and walks off.
We now see Kofi Kingston walking backstage, when Evan Bourne runs up from behind.
Bourne: you ready partner?”
Kofi: “ready? Huh, what?”
Bourne: “you didn’t hear? We’re partnering with Tazz and Beer Money against MVP’s Posse.”
Kofi: “ugh… oh Evan, I used to be like you, always wanting to do the right thing, and it got me nowhere, one day you’ll learn.”

Bourne: “well, I can respect that, but you are kinda in the back of the line, I don’t see you getting booked in any other matches… I think you should give this a chance.”
Kofi: “I’m all ears… bell-to-bell.”
Just then The Outsiders walk in.
Roode: “Wow, Kofi, you’re sounding an awful lot like me, you know with worrying about the big payday and all, and onl wanting big matches, good to know at least one of you youngins have learned from me… Bourne you could learn some things, but hopefully you don’t drop the ball like Kofi did.”
Kofi: “What did you say? I dare you to say it again.”
“Shut up!” Says Tazz.
Tazz: “The way I see it, you guys don’t have to get along or even like each other, just stand on the apron, I don’t need a team, and I don’t need my back watched.”
“Fine by me.” Says Kofi, as the rest just nod.
*Beer Money vs. The Hardys*
Roode: “Well, we made quick work of the supposed world’s greatest tag team, and it seems that we don’t have any competition left, so any 2 guys who want to team up, either in that locker room… or in someone else’s locker room that want to actually give us a challenge, please, we’re begging you, whoever it may be, to take your balls out of your purse, and face us at Final Battle…
Storm: “that’s right, there ain’t no way in hell Beer Money is gonna be left off the biggest show of the year, or of all time just cause no one wants to face us, so any 2 guys in ROH, heck, any 2 guys from any of the big 2 companies can come down here and see what real wrestling’s all about… heck, we’ll even put these titles on the line.”
Beer Money face off against Rollins and Kaval of The Prophecy, after a 20 minute match, Beer Money pick up the win when Roode pins Kaval after a whiplash neckbreaker, Beer Money hold their titles and celebrate… when Jeff and Matt Hardy run down to the ring and hit Beer Money in the back with chairs, Storm gets up on a knee when The Hardys hit a con-chair-to the Storm, Matt then grabs Roode, puts his head in the chair, and hits the Twist of Fate in the chair… Beer Money are down in pain as Matt grabs a mic.
Matt: “We accept your challenge, Beer Money, prepare to wrestle in a league where your tag team accomplishments mean nothing and are flushed down the toilet.”
Matt now hands it to Jeff who crouches down and looks down on Roode.
Jeff: “in fact, we’re so confident we’re gonna beat you, and since we’d love to scare to NWA brass, me and Matthew are gonna put the NWA titles on the line too… see you at Final Battle, if you can make it.”
*Danielson vs. Angle*
Bryan: “Credit to Jericho, Last month proved that you never take Chris Jericho lightly, however, I proved that I’m the best wrestler in the world and we are now on the road to Final Battle, one of our big shows, and considering the date it’s being held on, it may be the biggest wrestling even of all time, so I gotta know, who has the guts to face the new Best in the World at the biggest show of 2012.”
Angle: “I’m back, management did convince me to comeback, under one condition, the condition on which I came back was that I get another shot at you for that Pure Title, I looked back at my tapes, and realized that my downfall started when I lost to you years ago, I haven’t been the same since, I want you at Final Battle, and if I lose it might be my final battle… but trust me, I won’t lose.”
Bryan: “Kurt Angle and Bryan Danielson, one last time? You’re on Kurt, I’ll be glad to beat you again, and send you off crying one more time, but if I lose I’m gone from ROH, so why don’t we do this, the best way we can, the way this rivalry between us should end, considering you’re in my house, this is Ring of Honor, how about we have a classic ROH style match, you and me, 2 out of 3 falls.”
Bryan holds his hand out, and Angle shakes it… then Headbutts Bryan, Angle walks out of the ring as Bryan gets up and stares a hole in Angle.
*Ambrose vs. Jake Roberts*
Ambrose: Last month, I knocked the Big Show flat on his ass, I now ask if that was good enough… quite frankly I don’t care, I really don’t care if that was good enough, I beat that giant, I put this knee right here, and ran it into that bald head, and I could hear his head snap back, and skull damn near fracture, so whoever else wants to tame the beast, just try me.
Jake: You sound familiar, Dean I’ve seen you around town, taking out the big man Abyss and destroying the giant Big Show, but I think think you have what it takes, everyone you’ve faced is some kind of freak, you think you’re smarter than me, I know I’m smarter then you… if you want to prove otherwise, you’ll get snake-bit…
Ambrose looks like he’s gonna respond, when he swings at Jake, but he ducks and slaps Ambrose in the face, Ambrose and AJ roll out of the ring with Ambrose looking frustrated and Jake smiles.
*Aries vs. HHH*
Aries: “William Regal get out here, I need to know why I’m not the number one contender.”
Regal: “Austin, Brock Lesnar is the number one contender and I can’t change that, but if you want to be the number contender so badly, I will let you be the number 2 contender… if you beat Triple H.”
Aries: “beat Triple H? no, I’m not having a match with him, he won last night, our feud is done, I’m done with him”
Regal: “you’re right, you don’t have to face Triple H, you also don’t have to be the number one contender…”
Aries: “fine, I will accept a one-on-one match with Triple H, only on 2 conditions, 1, I will be the number one contender when I win, and 2, my followers Seth Rollins and Kaval get a tag title shot against Beer Money.”
Regal: “So you’ll accept the match against Triple H, if they get a title match, and it’s a number one contender match?”
Aries: “Yes.”
Regal: “okay then, at Final Battle it will be You vs. Triple H, and to make sure there’s no DQ’s and that this feud is finished at Final Battle, it will be a Last Man Standing.”
Aries yells “No!” at Regal,
Regal: “remember Aries, if you win, you get a World Title match…”
Aries gives Regal a pissed off look as he walks off.
DECEMBER:
Rollins and Kaval do get their match against Beer Money, but Beer Money pin them and retain their titles.
Aries comes out to cut a promo.
Aries: “this thing between me and Triple H started 2 years ago when Triple H wanted to take over, we wanted to bring Sports Entertainment to Ring Of Honor, that move started a civil war that lasted a while, people still ask who won that war, some say that the mainstream won with the introduction of the “new vision of ROH” but I say I won, Considering Triple H is the only revolution member left, and The Prophecy are all still here.
While yes it’s true, at Supercard, he did bloody me, he did not eliminate me, and his ego can’t deal with the fact that he can’t beat me, he couldn’t beat me at Supercard, he couldn’t pin me at Best in the World, and he couldn’t beat me at Driven, he just can’t beat me, I knew that even if Triple H somehow defeated me at Driven, he still would’ve wanted more of me, so I figured, why risk an injury, when he’s not gonna be satisfied either way? The Last Man Standing match however, will be much, much different.
Triple H at Final Battle I will beat you down so bad, it’ll make the beating Stephanie’s lawyers gave you look easy, not only will you not be able to stand, your big ego will be so hurt, you won’t be able to come back.”
Triple H comes out to cut a promo, with a sledgehammer in hand.
Triple H: “7 months, for 7 months Austin Aries, and his cronies have been thorns in my side,
9 months ago at Supercard, I beat the hell out of him inside of a cell, and that match made me feel like myself again and I was done with you Aries, but then 7 months ago you pepper sprayed my face, at Best in the World I was so close to beating the crap out of you when you ran away, then 4 months ago, at Caged Collision, you cost me a match against 2 jobbers, which was the lowest point in my career, and from then on, I was no longer worried about beating you in a match, I was determined to make your life hell, I was determined to destroy you. So you’re right, whatever I did at Driven was not gonna be good enough, but even then you couldn’t leave well enough alone, you couldn’t be a man, and had to run like a coward, so at Final Battle-”
Kaval and Rollins comes out to attack Triple H, but they slow down once they get to the ring and see the sledgehammer, Triple H goes to attack then when Aries runs from behind with a sledgehammer of his own, and hits Triple H in the back, then grabs him and hits the brainbuster.
Rollins now hands Aries a mic.
Aries: “you know Hunter, I never thought you’d be the kind of guy to hang on too long, but it turns out everything I’ve heard about you I true, you gotta hang on to the spotlight, at Final Battle, that spotlight will crash down on you, and cost you everything, from your career, to your health, to your legacy.”
then walk off with Rollins and Kaval raising his hands.
*Jericho vs. Richie Steamboat*
Jericho: “Yeah yeah I lost, big deal, I’m not worried about that, what I want to talk about is someone who is pissing on every childhood memory I have, so Richie Steamboat, get out here now.”
Steamboat: “Ok Jericho, what do you want?”
Jericho: ”I’ll tell you what I want, what I want is to beat you senseless, you ungrateful bastard”
Steamboat: “hey Jericho, you sound a little jealous that time has passed you by”
Jericho: “Passed me by? I’d rather have time pass me by, then never come. You see Richie, most kids have Hulk Hogan slamming Andre The Giant, my wrestling moment is Ricky Steamboat winning the World Title, he is a hero of mine, you never, ever, doubt Ricky Steamboat… you on the other hand, you’ll be lucky to get off the mat when I’m done with you.”
Steamboat: “oh really? And why would I accept a match with you?”
Jericho: “Hmmm. lets see, former world champion, perhaps the most popular guy on the roster, and a few years ago I had a match with your dad that I thought would be easy, he took me to the limit, and came ‘this close’ to defeating me on the biggest stage, how much of an impact would it make if you did what your dad couldn’t do… defeat Chris Jericho.”
Richie: “well Jericho, if you want it so badly-“
Vickie: “Excuse me!”
Eddie: hold on Richie, you don’t have to answer that.
Jericho: Eddie, what the hell are you doing out here, this has nothing to do with you
Eddie: yes it does Chris, you know I respect you, but Richie here is the future, holmes, he has that killer instinct that his dad and even you lately have lacked since you came back with this nice guy act, esse.
Jericho: “okay Eddie, I get it, I lose a lot, but at least I have matches, Esse, You’re sounding like a hypocrite… yeah, a hypocrite who surrounds himself with parasite, both of whom leach off of their genealogy like a couple of sycophants, and if they wanted to joust me, they would be eviscerated decisively and my victory would be axiomatic.”
Eddie: “Look here Jericho, it’s not my fault the future is right in front of me and has let me guide his career, while you are stuck in the past.”
Jericho: “Run his career? Run it into the ground maybe, C’mon Steamboat, be a man and accept my offer for a match.”
Eddie: You know what Jericho, if you think you’re so good, how about at the end of the month, if you beat me in a match, I’ll let you have a match against Richie at Final Battle.
DECEMBER:
Eddie comes to the ring accompanied by Vickie and Richie, it’s a hard fought match, Jericho goes for the lionsault but Richie pulls the second rope down, but Jericho lands on Richie and punches him, this leads to the ref calling the match, Jericho getting the win, Jericho goes back in the ring when Chavo returns, comes out and gets hit with a code breaker, but this allows Richie and Eddie to double team Jericho, Eddie hits a frog splash, then raises Richie’s hand in victory.
*Edge vs. Brock Lesnar*
It’s time for Edge and Brock Lesnar to have their contract signing.
Jefferson: “I know we don’t usually do contract signings, but considering the press we’ve gotten from Brock Lesnar’s being here, and the tricks he pulled to get a title match, I figured I should look over and see that everything is how I want it, and I figured it’s appropriate that we do one of these…”
“First, he is an amateur wrestling champion, a former pro-wrestling world champion, and a MMA heavyweight champion, accompanied by his manager Paul Heyman, please welcome Brock Lesnar…
And his opponent, he is a 8 time world champion, and been the current Champion for 6 months, he is the Rated-R Superstar, Edge…”
Both men stare off and sign the contract.
Jefferson: “Alright gentlemen, just so you know, the rules are one fall to a finish, or first to a submission, if you get Disqualified, too bad, if you get counted out, better luck next time… I will now open it up for any comments you two wanna make.”
Edge: “So Brock, you think you’re gonna take this away from me? This, the title that I’ve held for 6 months, a title that I won while I was injured, a Title I’ve defended in matches like a steel cage? You will have to kill me to take this title from my hands.“
Heyman: “You won the championship beating a guy who had already had a grueling match, then you won a cage, with a hurt wrestler, then you beat someone who’s pretty much a rookie and made a mistake, now you have to face a monster in Brock Lesnar, the man who will not just be a champion, but will make your life miserable, and take you out of that misery… that’s right Edge, I’ve heard the rumors that your body isn’t 100% and once you lose that title, you’ll go the way of Randy Orton, Brock promises you that your last performance will be not just career defining but career ending.”
Edge: “Paul, I think you need to recheck your sources, cause I’ve never felt better, and if I didn’t feel 100% going into a match with Brock Lesnar, I would lay this title on the table and walk away, but you don’t see me doing that, do you? No. Brock is a beast, no doubt, he is perhaps the best athlete here, but he’s as dumb as rocks, Brock, you don’t have a mind for this, yes, you’re big and bad, but in the end guys always get the better of you, for 6 months I’ve gotten the better of everyone I’ve faced. Also I have to ask once I beat you, are you gonna throw a bitch-fit and quit again? Run away with your bad Tapout-Affliction shirts? Or donate your hair to the Paul Heyman toupée fund?”
Brock now grabs the microphone from Heyman.
Edge: “Please for the love of god, hand the mic back to Heyman, in fact, we’ve already signed this, so if you’re gonna talk, me and all these people are gonna go to the bathroom, goodnight everyone...”
Brock: “Edge, I thought you should know, December 21st will be the end, the start of the end of ROH, and the real revolution will begin.”
*(Rumored) Retirees Interviews*
Edge: It’s true I won this title hurt, and my neck continued to hurt for a while, but I feel fine now, so I have no plans to retire, the rumors and dirtsheets are wrong, do I want Christian Cage here? Sure I do, would I love to tag with him? No doubt, he’s like a brother to me… but I don’t plan on leaving, I’m not counting the days till my contract is up, and if my contract ended tomorrow, I’d re-sign.
Angle: I lost to Steamboat, Kofi, and then Tajiri, no disrespect to them, but I know I’m better then all of those guys, Tajiri squashed me, that does not happen to Kurt Angle…
Jericho: When Wrestling isn’t fun anymore, I’ll retire, and right now, you asking these stupid questions isn’t fun, and watching Richie piss on his dads legacy isn’t fun… but luckly for me, I won’t have to deal with that after Final Battle.
Bryan: As everyone knows, this title is the only reason I’m back, not cause I hate this place, but because the WWF has me on contract for a long, long time, so my plan, my idea in this comeback is quite frankly to never lose this title, but realistically I’m gonna make it to Best in the World, when ROH comes to the best wrestling arena, MSG, and see the company I built and put on the map, on their biggest night.
HHH: When I watched the original draft back in 2009, I was surprised to learn that I was drafted to TNA, and had to do comedy segments, which Kevin Nash was proud of me for doing, and was a perfect spot for him, I felt like a 2 dollar whore, but I took the money, and as soon as I could, I bolted to the WWF.
When I came to the WWF, I joined up with Shawn Michaels, a dear friend, but lets just say it’s probably better for our friendship that we’re in different companies, he was in a bad place at that time, me too, plus, I thought I would be treated with the same respect I had before, but the owner there had vendetta against me, and after he fed me to Undertaker and whored me out for a few buyrates, the very second the legally could, he traded me for whoever he could find…
Once I came to ROH, my confidence had been shattered to the point where I thought I was nothing better than a lackey to Randy Orton, even slitting the owner-at-the-time’s head open with a sledgehammer didn’t change anything, fast forward 2 years and it’s Super-Card 3, and I’m stuck in Satan’s playground, where ironically I find that fire in me again, I beat the holy hell out of Aries in the cell, and that started this feud with me and him, we’ve fought back and forth but after Aries cost me my match at Caged Collision, and I lost to two jobbers, that right there was the lowest point in my career, I went back to my hotel planning to hang up my boots, when I got a phone call from Kevin Nash, he told me that he knew a loophole that would allow me to face Aries at the next PPV, so I do have to thank Nash for me still being here. Aries said that win was a fluke, and he’s right, he’s right until Final Battle, when I’ll beat the shit out of him, at this very moment, I feel like my old self again, so if Austin Aries somehow beats me at Final Battle, I just might retire, and he just might be the greatest, but either way, the only one to know the answer will be me, at Final Battle Austin Aries will not just deal with 6 months of frustration, he’s gonna deal with 3 and a half years of being held down, spit on, and beat up, 3 and half years of frustration, you guys shouldn’t be asking me about my retirement, but after Final Battle, you’ll be asking Austin Aries about his.
