EVENT HORIZON: NIGHT SEVEN

OATH Pro Wrestling Presents Event Horizon: Night Seven July 25th 2019 Sonora, Mexico

— Penultimate The wildly impressive OATH Pro Wrestling signature played and then we cut to ringside with announcers Ben Petrie and Matt Mears. Petrie said that tonight was tonight would see the finals of Event Horizon solidified. Mears added that the rest of the card would be released immediately following the conclusion to this event.

— Agustin Gates (4-2-0) vs. Salvador Blanco (2-4-0) Mears noted that a lot of people would be pissed if Gates were able to win this match because it would pretty much guarantee that he earned a place in the Finals. Gates came to the ring, alone because his brothers Elijah Dynamite and Steve Maximum were barred from ringside for the remainder of the series.

The match started slow with Gates doing whatever he could to try and frustrated the “White Saviour”. Blanco came back with a series of deep arm drags and then a front dropkick that sent Gates to the outside. Blanco followed that up with a suicide dive before he rolled Gates back into the ring. 

Gates feigned an injury and pulled the referee in close to inspect. Although Dynamite and Maximum were barred from ringside, another man hopped over the guard rail and hit Blanco with a chop block on the outside. “That’s Carlos Cruz! The final piece of The Heavenly 4!” Petrie exclaimed, seemingly pleased.

Cruz cracked Blanco with a Divine Super Kick and then rolled the luchador back into the ring. Gates “recovered” instantly, he took hold of Blanco and planted him with the OMG Bomb (Omega Driver). Gates covered and got two more points. Winner: Agustin Gates (5-2-0)

— Nothing Is Certain Backstage we were shown Devin Brando walking toward the curtain for his match with Miguel Villalobos. As Brando waited for his cue, Declan Black approached. Black said that with Agustin Gates now in the finals, Brando could potentially join him in what would be a lackluster final. “I cannot say the same for you,” Brando responded. 

Black scoffed, “That result is not set in stone. The final is far from set and it could take many different forms depending on how the next three matches play out.”

Brando leaned in close and said “It will not involve you,” before walking through the curtain.

— Devin Brando (4-1-1) vs. Miguel Villalobos (2-3-1) The second contest of the evening two brawlers face off. Brando was cold and calculated in the beginning, choosing his strikes wisely. Brando took care not to attack the stitched up wound on Villalobos’ head, for whatever reason. Villalobos applied his best defensive strategy but after getting tagged a couple times Los Lobo Loco snarled.

Villalobos unleashed a flurry of blows and tried for Santa Muerte (Cradle Piledriver) but Brando countered with a Spinning Lariat for a near fall. Brando returned the pace to slow and methodical, looking for a stalling brainbuster but Villalobos hit an upside down knee to the top of Brando’s head.

Brando was rocked by that and Villalobos went for Ay Dios Mio (Chokebomb) but Brando slipped out, hit the ropes and nailed Villalobos with a spear that nearly cut Brando in half. Villalobos kept Brando subdued with some stomps and then climbed to the top rope. Villalobos went for a double stomp but Brando moved. Villalobos landed on his feet and rolled through. Villalobos looked to change the momentum but Brando hit him with a spinning lariat. Brando got Villalobos up and went for Velvet Revolver (Tombstone Piledriver) but Villalobos kicked his legs and reversed the tombstone into one of his own! Villalobos covered and got the three count.  Winner: Miguel Villalobos (3-3-1) Petrie noted that with this loss, Brando was still tentatively in the Finals against Agustin Gates. Mears said that there are still two more matches. “Things could change,” Mears added.

Following the bell, the man recently rechristened as TERROR came down to the ring, wearing a bagging cloak. Mears said that the man’s name might be direct, but it was entirely appropriate. TERROR reached the bottom of the ramp and entered the ring.

TERROR and Villalobos stood face to face. The tension between the tag team partners was palpable, the audience in Senora waited in anticipation. The audience’s patience was rewarded when TERROR tossed off the cloak to reveal that both of his hands were wrapped in barbed wire.

“Oh my,” Petrie said.

TERROR cracked Villalobos with two uppercuts to the mid-section and then one to the chin which took Villalobos off of his feet and onto his back. TERROR mounted Villalobos and alternated left and right hands, attempting to turn Villalobos’ face into ground beef. 

“This is straight up attempted murder right now,” Mears said.

It took twelve members of the security team to pull TERROR off of Villalobos. What we were left with was an imagine of the mangled face of Villalobos. NSFL, to be honest.

— HORROR A brief promo aired for the Event Horizon Finals and then we saw new OATH Interviewer May O’Neil trying to catch up with TERROR backstage. TERROR sat down on an anvil case and looked down at his palms. His were hands covered in blood, both his and that of Villalobos. O’Neil attempted to ask about TERROR’s attacks over the last two nights of Event Horizon but TERROR did not answer. Not because he didn’t want to, but because Erik Holland came out of nowhere and tackled TERROR. The two brawled on the floor for a few moments before the same twelve security guards from earlier came in to break up the fight. “You’re a fucking dead man!” Holland screamed throughout the melee. Neither man was seriously injured but it took some doing to split them up. There were a lot of expletives and one could imagine that there were also some hurt feelings.

— Declan Black (3-2-1) vs. Rob Sharpe (1-6-0) This next contest was…strange. Declan Black came to the ring with complete determination in his eyes. Rob Sharpe came out had the exact opposite energy about him. Probably because he lost in a few seconds on the last event and has only won one match so far.

Sharpe seemed ill prepared for this match because right off the bell Black charged and nailed Sharpe with a short arm elbow to the face. Following a knee to Sharpe’s mid-section Black nailed Sharpe with a Knee Trembler and then quickly got Sharpe up for In The Black (Regal Cutter).

The old dog was absolutely rocked at this point and it didn’t take long for Black to get Sharpe up and put him back down with Blackout (Rainmaker Lariat). Black covered with a satisfied smirk on his face as the referee counted the three.

Winner: Declan Black (3-2-1)

“As it stands right now, the Event Horizon Final will be Agustin Gates against Declan Black against Devin Brando in a triple threat match,” Petrie announced.

Black celebrated in the ring, knowing that he could be on his way to the main event of OATH’s first pay-per-view event.

— The Wildcard Series In the backstage area May O’Neil was shown standing with a microphone, facing the camera. O’Neil said that she had been tasked with announcing a four match series to take place at the Event Horizon Final. 

O’Neil explained that when OATH was first created, there were going to be separate divisions for men and women. She explained that since the Event Horizon Series began, the administration has changed their mind about that mandate.

“I am happy to announce that at the Event Horizon Finals we will see the members of the female roster highlighted in The Wildcard Series. A one night tournament with the winner to face the winner of the Event Horizon Series in the future. O’Neil added that with seven competitors, there would be a random draw to determine who gets a by into the final,” O’Neil said. “But first allow me to introduce the participants.”

The scene cut from O’Neil to a graphic showing Leah, with a voiceover saying “The War Queen is here in OATH Pro Wrestling to continue to grow as an athlete by any means necessary and represent her affiliation, TNP Inc, with honour, pride and respect.”

Cut to a motion graphic of Samantha Hamilton cracking her knuckles and staring down the camera lens with a steely gaze. “The Titaness has arrived in OATH to prove her worth. By any means necessary.”

Next up was Catriona MacKenzie who stood tall with one eyebrow raised. “Catriona MaKenzie’s goals are to keep her momentum going from her previous federations and to get to the top of the ladder in OATH. MacKenzie does not care about who gets in her way. She’s ready and willing to take on all opponents.”

The screen went black and the voiceover said, “Stephanie Matsuda is here to fight the best that OATH Pro Wrestling has to offer. Man or woman.” And then Matsuda appeared on screen, gesturing for the rest of the roster to ‘bring it’.

Nina Stokes is shown sitting on the roof of a building, staring out over an unidentified skyline. “Nina Stokes believes that she is more superior in the ring than most people and it is her intent to show it.”

The next transition showed Chastity Vice but only for a brief moment. The feed cut back to O’Neil backstage in Sonora but she was being attacked by Veronica Taylor. Security, working overtime tonight, arrived on the scene to subdue Taylor.

Taylor shoved them all off and backed away, saying that she should get the by and be in the final because she is the First Lady of OATH. Security stood in between her and O’Neil. The scene cut to black.

— Finn Whelan (4-2-0) vs. Erik Holland (2-4-1) The next was the most important match in OATH to date. The main event of the Event Horizon Finals would be decided right here. Whelan was still nursing a sprained hand and Holland had a giant gash on his forehead bandaged up. The last six events had taken their toll on all competitors. 

One would assume that these two would be cautious, that they would take this match slowly. Well, they didn’t. Whelan charged Holland, guns blazing. Whelan ducked under a lariat attempt from Holland and then hit a springboard knee to Holland’s head.

Whelan’s strategy was hit fast and evade. It worked for the first little while. Whelan flew all over the ring and picked Holland apart with well placed strikes. The turning point came when Whelan went for one too many springboard and Holland nearly broke The Seattle Saint’s jaw with a Plan 9 From Outer Space (Superman Punch). Holland flashed a satisfied smile and it was creepy as fuck.

Holland kept Whelan grounded with some hard elbows to the side of the head, each one making a more disgusting sound than the next. Whelan was seeing stars when Holland got him up and planted him with Chopping Mall (Snap Powerbomb). Holland covered but only saw a two count. The Most Dangerous seemed to be getting angrier and angrier with each passing moment. The Seattle Saint fought his way up but Holland sent him sailing into the corner with authority. Whelan smashed into it back first and then ate canvas. Holland stomped toward Whelan like some kind of Hollywood movie monster, but one of the real scary ones. Holland sent Whelan into the ropes and then nearly drove him through the canvas with Planet Terror (Black Hole Slam). Holland hooked the leg but again only saw a two count.

The Most Dangerous let out a primal roar of frustration. Holland grabbed Whelan by the back of the neck and lifted him off the mat with one hand. Holland then introduced Whelan’s face to the nearest turnbuckle a half dozen times before he got Whelan up and planted him with a Calamity Trigger (Running Powerslam). Holland covered once more but Whelan kicked out at the last second.

Holland pounded his fists on the mat and then dropped a hard elbow onto the back of Whelan’s head. Holland got Whelan up once more and went for another Chopping Mall (Snap Powerbomb) but Whelan used his remaining strength to take Holland down with a headscissors roll up! Whelan got a two count but Holland kicked out at the last second. Senora was firmly on Whelan’s side at this point.

A bicycle knee from Holland put Whelan back down and then Holland went over to the corner and ripped off the top turnbuckle pad. The referee tried to stop him but Holland shoved the referee away. Holland then stomped over to Whelan but Whelan popped up and took Holland down with Fenian Rising (Spinning Sit-Out Sleeper Slam). Whelan covered and got the three count!

Winner: Finn Whelan (5-2-0)

With Whelan’s victory, Mears announced that the official main event for the Event Horizon Finals would see Agustin Gates take on Finn Whelan. This seemed to summon Gates as he walked out onto the stage, flanked by Carlos Cruz. Gates and Whelan had a staredown to end the show.
