Aired - April 20, 2025

Opening Segment

[The show begins with the signature opening montage: high-energy vignettes showcasing NPCW Superstars in the midst of thrilling matches. Highlights include Rudolph holding the NPCW Championship aloft, the Polar Bears standing dominant with their tag titles, Big Bad Wolf delivering his signature Savage Spear, and Wicked Willow executing her devastating Widow’s Peak Neckbreaker. The visuals are accompanied by the show’s electrifying theme music, building excitement for tonight’s action-packed lineup.]

[The camera transitions to the arena as the crowd roars with anticipation. Fans wave signs in the air, expressing their loyalty and excitement. Signs like “Lead Us Through the Darkness, Rudolph,” “THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE TO BRING DESTRUCTION!,” “Jolly Green: Giant Heart, Giant Strength,” “Moonshadow Has Our Hearts,” and “No Mercy for Monster Bash” are prominently displayed. The atmosphere buzzes with energy as the camera pans to the announce desk.]

[Johnny ‘The Mic’ Michaels greets the audience with his signature smile, while Eddie ‘The Expert of Elocution’ Ellington sits smugly beside him, adjusting his glasses and smirking at the camera.]

Johnny Michaels (enthusiastically): "Good evening, NPCW Universe, and welcome to this week’s edition of Polar Power! I’m Johnny ‘The Mic’ Michaels, here with the one-and-only Eddie ‘The Expert of Elocution’ Ellington. Eddie, what a night we have ahead of us!"

Eddie Ellington (grinning): "Oh, absolutely, Johnny. I mean, we’ve got heroes, villains, giants, monsters—it’s like Christmas morning in April for wrestling fans, except I’ve already got all the best gifts right here with my expert commentary."

Johnny: "We certainly have a stacked card tonight, but before we jump into tonight’s matches, let’s recap some of the jaw-dropping events from last week. Eddie, we’ve got to start with the heinous ambush by Monster Bash on Rudolph. Ogre laid him out with a brutal piledriver, and if it hadn’t been for Van Helsing, Comet, Prancer, and Hansel rushing in to save him, who knows what could’ve happened?"

Eddie (mocking): "Heinous, Johnny? I call it glorious! Ogre was just giving Rudolph a preview of what’s in store for him in tonight’s NPCW Championship match. Let’s face it—Rudolph may be the so-called Fighting Champion of the People, but he’s in way over his head against Monster Bash."

Johnny (ignoring Eddie): "And we also saw Big Bad Wolf retain his Northern Lights title in a hard-fought match against Scarecrow. The Wolf Pack continues to dominate, showing why they’re a force to be reckoned with. And let’s not forget the Polar Bears defending their NPCW Tag Team titles against Comet and Prancer in an absolute barnburner of a match!"

Eddie: "Barnburner? Johnny, the Polar Bears burned down the barn—with Comet and Prancer still in it! No one touches Boris and Ivan, and no one ever will."

Johnny (shaking his head): "Well, tonight is packed with even more action as the Queen of the North tournament moves into the quarterfinals! Four incredible matches are lined up: Wicked Witch vs. Moonshadow, Gretel vs. Morrigan, Pearl vs. Crimson Viper, and Wicked Willow vs. Lady Frost. Eddie, this tournament has been nothing short of spectacular."

Eddie: "It’s spectacular, alright—but let’s be honest, Johnny. Wicked Witch and the Coven are in a league of their own. The rest are just cannon fodder in this division’s quest for supremacy."

Johnny: "And that’s not all—we have Hansel of the Hunter’s Enclave taking on Monster Bash’s Frankenstein’s Monster, Jolly Green battling Kong in a clash of titans, and the big main event: Rudolph defending the NPCW Championship against Ogre. Eddie, this is shaping up to be a night we won’t forget."

Eddie: "Oh, it’s unforgettable, Johnny—especially when Ogre leaves Rudolph flat on his back and walks out with the NPCW Championship. Mark my words, it’s going to be beautiful."

Johnny: "NPCW Universe, the action starts right now! Take it away, Commissioner Cratchit and Ebenezer Scrooge."

COMMISSIONER'S DECREE

[The scene opens inside the Commissioner’s Office, a modest but functional space adorned with NPCW memorabilia and polished wooden furnishings. Behind the large desk sits Commissioner Robert Cratchit, visibly tired and sullen as he flips through a stack of papers. Standing beside him, however, is Ebenezer Scrooge—a devilishly poised man whose smug grin and stern demeanor contrast sharply with Cratchit’s meekness.]

Robert Cratchit (adjusting his glasses, forcing a small smile): "Good evening, NPCW Universe. I’d like to begin by thanking each and every one of you for your continued support of NPCW. Without you, none of this would be possible."

[As Cratchit speaks, Scrooge frowns impatiently, folding his arms and tapping his foot.]

Ebenezer Scrooge (interrupting with a sharp tone): "Enough with the platitudes, Cratchit. Get to the business at hand!"

[Cratchit glances nervously at Scrooge before turning back to the camera and clearing his throat.]

Robert Cratchit: "Right… As your Commissioner, I have some very important news to share with you all. It is with great pleasure that I announce NPCW has accepted a new sponsorship deal with none other than Scrooge and Marley Counting House."

[Cratchit pauses, looking briefly at Scrooge, whose devilish grin grows wider.]

Robert Cratchit: "As an official sponsor, their logo will be prominently displayed in the corner of every episode of Polar Power. And, for the privilege of showcasing such a magnificent and glorious logo, NPCW will pay Scrooge and Marley Counting House a nominal fee of… $1000 per minute of each show."

[Cratchit manages a meek, half-hearted smile while Scrooge beams proudly, his hands clasped in delight.]

Robert Cratchit (attempting positivity): "We believe this partnership will be a boon to all, ensuring the future growth and stability of NPCW. Thank you, and… good night."

[The camera lingers for a moment, capturing the stunned silence from fans in the arena as Scrooge smirks triumphantly, his eyes twinkling with satisfaction.]

[The broadcast transitions back to Johnny and Eddie at the announce desk. Johnny looks visibly annoyed, while Eddie is struggling to contain his laughter.]

Johnny Michaels (with disbelief): "$1000 per minute?! Eddie, I don’t even know where to start with this one."

Eddie Ellington (mocking): "Start with applause, Johnny! Scrooge and Marley Counting House—they’re all about investment and results. And now, every minute of Polar Power will be dripping in class and sophistication. What’s not to love?"

Johnny (sighing): "Well, NPCW Universe, we’ve got a lot to unpack tonight. Let’s head to the ring for our first match in the Queen of the North quarterfinals!"

[The show continues as the first match is prepared.]

MATCH 1 - QUEEN OF THE NORTH TITLE TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINAL - Wicked Witch (with the Coven) VS Moonshadow (with Wolf Pack)

VS

[The camera transitions to the ring, where NPCW ring announcer Louie Linville stands ready, microphone in hand.]

Louie Linville

Louie Linville: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a quarterfinal match in the Queen of the North Championship Tournament!"

[Eerie music fills the arena as Wicked Witch and her Coven make their entrance. The arena lights dim, casting an ominous green glow. Wicked Witch leads the group, her dark, flowing robe adorned with glistening black lace, while Grizelda, Morrigan, and Wicked Willow follow close behind, their sinister presence sending chills through the crowd.]

Louie Linville (dramatically): "Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by the Coven—Grizelda, Morrigan, and Wicked Willow—she is the Mistress of Darkness, the Sorceress Supreme… WICKED WITCH!"

[Wicked Witch raises her arms, and a burst of green flames erupts from the stage. The Coven cackles as they circle the ring, their menacing energy causing unease among the fans.]

Johnny Michaels (from the announce desk): "The Coven is making their mark tonight, Eddie. With three members in the quarterfinals, they’re a dominant force in this tournament."

Eddie Ellington (grinning): "Dominant, Johnny? They’re practically unstoppable. Wicked Witch isn’t just competing tonight—she’s conquering. Mark my words, she’s going to leave Moonshadow spellbound!"

[The music shifts to an eerie howl as Moonshadow and the Wolf Pack make their entrance. The crowd remains divided, unsure who to cheer for as the villainous faction steps onto the stage. Big Bad Wolf holds his Northern Lights Championship high, flanked by The Howlers and Moonshadow, whose cold, calculated demeanor is as captivating as it is unsettling.]

Louie Linville: "And her opponent, representing the Wolf Pack, accompanied by the Northern Lights Champion Big Bad Wolf and The Howlers… MOONSHADOW!"

[The Wolf Pack makes their way to the ring, with Big Bad Wolf leading the charge and The Howlers growling at fans along the ramp. Moonshadow steps into the ring, her piercing gaze locking with Wicked Witch’s.]

Johnny: "This is an interesting dynamic, Eddie—both competitors are heels, and the crowd doesn’t seem to know who to root for. But one thing’s for sure: this match is going to be intense."

Eddie: "Intense? Johnny, it’s a battle for supremacy. The Coven versus the Wolf Pack—it doesn’t get better than this. And did you catch that look between Big Bad Wolf and Wicked Witch? I smell an unspoken alliance brewing. Or maybe that’s just howls of mutual respect."

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Wicked Witch starts strong, locking Moonshadow in her devastating Witch’s Wrath (Dragon Sleeper), but Moonshadow fights valiantly, refusing to submit.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Wicked Witch wasting no time, locking in the Witch’s Wrath early on! Moonshadow in trouble here, but she’s showing resilience!"

Eddie: "Resilience won’t save her, Johnny. Wicked Witch has forgotten more about pain than Moonshadow’s ever learned!"

[Moonshadow counters with interference from the Wolf Pack, using their distraction to land powerful moves like a Flying Kneedrop and a Neckbreaker. But Wicked Witch retaliates with her signature Swinging Neckbreaker and a brutal Black Magic Backbreaker.]

Johnny: "This has been a back-and-forth contest, Eddie. Both women are giving it everything they’ve got!"

Eddie: "Giving it everything? Johnny, Wicked Witch is just lulling Moonshadow into a false sense of security before she ends it with a spell—figuratively, of course."

[The Coven makes their presence known, throwing green mist into Moonshadow’s eyes, allowing Wicked Witch to regain control. The referee, Honest Abe, is preoccupied with the chaos at ringside, missing the interference entirely.]

Johnny: "The Coven interfering again! Eddie, how does Honest Abe not see this?"

Eddie (feigning innocence): "Green mist? What green mist? That’s just the natural glow of Wicked Witch’s brilliance!"

[In the final moments, Wicked Witch locks Moonshadow in a tight Ankle Lock. Moonshadow struggles briefly before tapping out, seemingly quicker than expected. Wicked Witch stands victorious as the Coven cheers on the outside.]

Louie Linville: "Here is your winner, and advancing to the semifinals of the Queen of the North Tournament… WICKED WITCH!"

[Big Bad Wolf gives a subtle nod of approval to Wicked Witch before leading the Wolf Pack out of the arena. Wicked Witch watches them leave with a sly smile, her confidence unshaken.]

Johnny: "That was an… interesting finish, Eddie. Moonshadow tapped out incredibly fast—almost too fast."

Eddie: "Too fast? Johnny, that’s the power of Wicked Witch’s Ankle Lock. When the Mistress of Darkness locks it in, even the toughest competitors crumble."

[The camera focuses on Wicked Witch celebrating in the ring as the scene transitions to the next segment.]

MATCH 2 - QUEEN OF THE NORTH TITLE TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINAL ROUND - Gretel VS Morrigan (with the Coven) 

[As the show comes back from commercial break, the camera cuts to Johnny Michaels and Eddie Ellington at the announce desk, ready to introduce the next match.]

VS

[The camera transitions back to the ring as the Coven remains inside following Wicked Witch’s victory in the previous match. Louie Linville stands ready to announce the next Queen of the North tournament quarterfinal bout.]

Louie Linville: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a quarterfinal match in the Queen of the North Championship Tournament!"

[The crowd buzzes as Morrigan steps forward, accompanied by her fellow Coven members—Grizelda, Wicked Willow, and Wicked Witch. Morrigan exudes confidence, her sinister grin radiating a mix of cold calculation and pure malice. The green mist from the Coven’s earlier shenanigans still lingers faintly in the air, adding to the eerie atmosphere.]

Louie Linville (dramatically): "Introducing first, representing the Coven and accompanied by Grizelda, Wicked Willow, and the Mistress of Darkness herself, Wicked Witch… she is the Mistress of Mind Games, the Celtic Sorceress… MORRIGAN!"

[Morrigan raises her arms as the Coven applauds her, their chilling presence unnerving the crowd. The arena lights flicker ominously as Morrigan steps to her corner, her icy glare locked on the entrance ramp.]

Johnny Michaels (from the announce desk): "The Coven continues their domination in this tournament, Eddie. With Morrigan stepping into the ring, we’re guaranteed to see that trademark cunning and ruthlessness."

Eddie Ellington (grinning): "Cunning? Ruthlessness? Johnny, that’s an understatement. Morrigan is the definition of brilliance. She’s already a step ahead of Gretel—it’s only a matter of time before the poor girl gets handed a one-way ticket out of the tournament."

[The music shifts, and Gretel’s entrance theme hits, bringing the crowd to life. The fairy tale warrior strides confidently to the ring, her fiery determination evident as she waves to the fans. Gretel’s athletic build and defiant expression contrast sharply with the Coven’s eerie aura.]

Louie Linville: "And her opponent, standing tall against the darkness, she is the slayer of shadows and seeker of glory… GRETEL!"

[Gretel pauses at ringside briefly before entering the ring, her gaze locking with Morrigan’s as the two competitors square off. The tension is palpable as the referee, Honest Abe, calls for the bell.]

Johnny: "Gretel may be the underdog here, Eddie, but she’s got heart and resilience—qualities that could give her the edge against Morrigan."

Eddie (mockingly): "Heart? Resilience? Johnny, Gretel’s going to need a fairy tale miracle to survive this match. Morrigan doesn’t just wrestle—she dominates. Let’s watch the magic unfold."

[The match begins, with Gretel taking the early advantage, landing her signature K-360 Belly to Back Flipping GTS and a series of devastating Spinning Heel Kicks that leave Morrigan momentarily staggered.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Gretel coming out strong here! She’s taking the fight right to Morrigan with precision and speed!"

Eddie: "That’s cute, Johnny. But Gretel’s getting ahead of herself. Morrigan’s just biding her time before she turns the tide—mark my words."

[Morrigan recovers and counters with a punishing Brainbuster and vicious High-Speed Roundhouse Kicks, showing her technical prowess and calculated aggression.]

Johnny: "Morrigan with the Brainbuster! She’s showing why she’s one of the most dangerous competitors in this tournament."

Eddie (gleefully): "Dangerous doesn’t even cover it, Johnny. Morrigan’s brilliance is unmatched—Gretel’s lucky she hasn’t turned into a puddle of tears yet."

[Both competitors trade blows, with Gretel landing Rolling Fireman’s Carries and Superkicks while Morrigan responds with Soccer Kicks and Double Knee Facebreakers. The crowd grows louder with each high-impact move.]

Johnny: "This has been an intense back-and-forth contest, Eddie! Both women are leaving it all in the ring!"

Eddie: "Leave it all in the ring, Johnny? Gretel’s leaving pieces of herself in the ring! Morrigan’s just about wrapped this up—it’s only a matter of time."

[In the closing moments, Gretel counters Morrigan’s offense and lands another K-360 Belly to Back Flipping GTS, stunning her opponent. Gretel quickly covers Morrigan as Honest Abe counts the pin.]

Referee: "One… Two… THREE!"

[The bell rings as Gretel stands victorious, raising her arms as the crowd cheers loudly.]

Louie Linville: "Here is your winner, and advancing to the semifinals of the Queen of the North Tournament… GRETEL!"

Johnny: "Gretel pulls off the upset, Eddie! What a victory against a powerful opponent!"

Eddie (shaking his head): "Upset, Johnny? This was pure luck. Morrigan will bounce back, and Gretel will get what’s coming to her in the semifinals."

[The camera focuses on Gretel celebrating in the ring as Morrigan retreats with the Coven, visibly frustrated but vowing revenge.]

BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW - RUDOLPH

[The show transitions backstage, where Smooth Samantha stands poised with a microphone in hand. Her elegant blue dress shimmers under the studio lights, and her long blonde hair cascades in waves as she smiles warmly at the camera. Beside her is the NPCW Champion, Rudolph, his red nose gleaming and his title belt slung proudly over his shoulder.]

Smooth Samantha (professionally, but with warmth): "Good evening, NPCW Universe! Joining me now is your NPCW Champion, Rudolph. Rudolph, last week we saw Monster Bash launch a despicable attack on you. Tonight, you face Ogre in the main event with your championship on the line. How are you feeling after that ambush, and are you ready for tonight’s challenge?"

[Rudolph adjusts the title belt on his shoulder, his expression hardening as determination replaces any trace of last week’s pain. He steps closer to the microphone, speaking with a mix of fire and defiance.]

Rudolph (firmly): "Smooth Samantha, last week’s attack by Monster Bash wasn’t just an ambush—it was a declaration of war. Ogre, Frankenstein’s Monster, Kong, Dragon King… the whole lot of them think they can bully and break their way to the top. Well, let me tell you something right now—they made a mistake coming after me. They woke up the Red-Nosed Warrior."

[The crowd in the arena can be heard cheering loudly from the live feed as Rudolph’s intensity radiates through the screen.]

Rudolph (continuing, more determined): "I’ve been through too much, and I’ve fought too hard, to let anyone take this title from me. Ogre may be bigger, stronger, and meaner, but he’s not smarter—and he doesn’t have the heart of a champion. Tonight, I’m not just defending this belt; I’m defending every single fan out there who believes in me. Monster Bash wants to intimidate and destroy? Let them come—I’ll send them all crashing back to the shadows."

[Smooth Samantha nods, clearly impressed by Rudolph’s confidence and resolve.]

Smooth Samantha: "It’s clear you’re determined, Rudolph. Do you have any final words for Ogre before tonight’s main event?"

[Rudolph steps even closer to the camera, his fiery red nose seeming to glow brighter as he speaks directly into the lens.]

Rudolph (brashly): "Ogre, you made a big mistake when you put your hands on me last week. Tonight, you’re stepping into my ring, for my title. Bring your strength, bring your rage—it won’t matter. I’m walking out of that ring still the NPCW Champion, and you’re walking out with nothing but regret."

[Rudolph hoists the championship belt high above his head, his fierce gaze locked on the camera. The energy in his voice matches the fire in his eyes as he exudes the confidence of a true fighting champion.]

Smooth Samantha (signing off): "Thank you, Rudolph. Best of luck tonight in your championship defense. NPCW Universe, don’t go anywhere—there’s plenty more action ahead!"

[The camera lingers on Rudolph one last time before transitioning back to the arena.]

MATCH 3 - QUEEN OF THE NORTH TITLE TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINAL ROUND - Pearl VS Crimson Viper (with Mad Hatter)

VS

[The camera transitions to the ring, where Louie Linville stands ready with his microphone. The energy in the arena is palpable as NPCW fans eagerly anticipate the next Queen of the North tournament quarterfinal bout.]

Louie Linville: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a quarterfinal match in the Queen of the North Championship Tournament!"

[The regal notes of a triumphant symphony play as Crimson Viper, the self-proclaimed Queen of Hearts, makes her grand entrance. She is accompanied by the eccentric yet conniving Mad Hatter, who claps enthusiastically and struts alongside her. Crimson Viper’s crimson-and-gold attire shimmers as she walks down the ramp, her royal demeanor commanding attention.]

Louie Linville: "Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by the ever-devious Mad Hatter… she is the embodiment of regality, the Queen of Hearts herself… CRIMSON VIPER!"

[Crimson Viper steps into the ring with an air of superiority, waving dismissively at the crowd’s mixed reaction while Mad Hatter taunts fans in the front row, reciting nonsensical rhymes with a sinister grin.]

Johnny Michaels (from the announce desk): "Crimson Viper certainly knows how to make an entrance, Eddie. Her confidence and attitude are as sharp as her in-ring skills."

Eddie Ellington (grinning): "Sharp, Johnny? Try flawless. Crimson Viper isn’t just confident—she’s royalty. And tonight, she’s going to show Pearl why fairy tales don’t belong in this tournament."

[The mood shifts as cheerful, whimsical music hits the arena, signaling Pearl’s arrival. The Tooth Fairy, clad in her sparkling blue and white gear, emerges with a wave of cheers from the crowd. Pearl’s bright smile and playful energy win over the fans as she skips down the ramp, high-fiving children in the front row.]

Louie Linville: "And her opponent, bringing magic and cheer to the NPCW Universe… she is the Tooth Fairy… PEARL!"

[Pearl climbs into the ring, her confident grin never wavering as she eyes Crimson Viper. The contrast between Pearl’s lighthearted charm and Crimson Viper’s haughty demeanor sets the stage for an intriguing showdown.]

Johnny: "Pearl is clearly a fan favorite, Eddie. Her energy and positivity are infectious, and she’s proven time and time again that she’s a serious competitor in the ring."

Eddie (scoffing): "Please, Johnny. Pearl’s out here playing dress-up while Crimson Viper is rewriting the rulebook on greatness. Let’s get this over with so the Queen can take her rightful place in the semifinals."

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Pearl takes control early, landing her signature Tooth Extractor and Tooth Buster (Bulldog), showing her precision and speed.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Pearl wasting no time here! She’s starting strong, catching Crimson Viper off guard with those devastating moves!"

Eddie: "Off guard? Johnny, she’s lucky Crimson Viper is giving her a warm-up round. Once the Queen gets serious, it’s game over for the Tooth Fairy."

[Crimson Viper regains momentum, hitting a textbook Swinging Neckbreaker and a powerful Sitout Powerbomb. She plays to the crowd with mock bows, eliciting loud boos, while Mad Hatter distracts Pearl with nonsensical taunts from ringside.]

Johnny: "Crimson Viper turning the tide! Her experience and technical skill are on full display."

Eddie: "Of course they are, Johnny. She’s royalty, remember? Pearl should just take her wings and fly out of here before it gets worse."

[The match becomes a hard-fought battle, with both women trading moves like Pearl’s Running Double Axe Handles and Crimson Viper’s Regal Reign (Arm and Leglock). The crowd is fully invested, cheering wildly for Pearl as she fights back against Crimson Viper’s relentless offense.]

Johnny: "What a contest this has been! Pearl refuses to give up, proving why she’s a worthy competitor in this tournament."

Eddie: "Refusing to give up is just delaying the inevitable, Johnny. Crimson Viper is taking her time—because she can."

[As the match reaches its climax, Pearl attempts a Hurricanrana to shift the momentum, but Mad Hatter’s continued interference finally crosses the line. He pushes the referee while shouting bizarre rhymes, forcing Honest Abe to call for the bell.]

Louie Linville: "Here is your winner by disqualification, and advancing to the semifinals of the Queen of the North Tournament… PEARL!"

[The crowd erupts in cheers for Pearl, who smiles through her exhaustion. Meanwhile, Crimson Viper is visibly furious, yelling at Mad Hatter for costing her the match. She storms out of the ring, leaving Mad Hatter behind to absorb the crowd’s jeers.]

Johnny: "Mad Hatter’s antics backfired, Eddie! Pearl advances, but you can bet Crimson Viper isn’t happy about how this match ended."

Eddie (grumbling): "Backfired is an understatement, Johnny! This was a royal travesty. The Queen of Hearts was robbed, plain and simple!"

[The camera focuses on Pearl celebrating as the show prepares to transition to the next segment.]

MATCH 4 - QUEEN OF THE NORTH TITLE TOURNAMENT QUARTERFINAL - WIcked Willow (with the Coven) VS Lady Frost, Queen of Snow (with Mad Hatter)

VS

[The camera transitions to the ring, where the tension is thick in the air following Pearl's victory in the previous match. Mad Hatter remains inside the ring, pacing nervously as he awaits the arrival of his next protégé, Lady Frost, Queen of Snow. Louie Linville, microphone in hand, is ready to announce the competitors.]

Louie Linville: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a quarterfinal match in the Queen of the North Championship Tournament!"

[A cool, elegant melody plays as Lady Frost makes her entrance. Dressed in dazzling icy-blue and white gear that radiates sophistication, she steps onto the stage. The chill of her presence is palpable, earning cheers and applause from the crowd. Mad Hatter watches her approach with a mixture of relief and expectation.]

Louie Linville: "Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Mad Hatter, representing the Queens of Punishment… she is the glacial beauty, the Queen of Snow… LADY FROST!"

[Lady Frost enters the ring gracefully, her icy demeanor contrasting with Mad Hatter’s erratic energy as he whispers bizarre rhymes into her ear. Her gaze, cold and focused, locks onto the entrance as she prepares for her opponent.]

Johnny Michaels (from the announce desk): "Lady Frost is here to take her place in the semifinals, Eddie. The Queen of Snow is as methodical as she is fierce—a true competitor."

Eddie Ellington: "Absolutely, Johnny. Lady Frost is sharp, calculated, and as cold as the ice she rules over. But can she withstand the sheer force of Wicked Willow?"

[The eerie tones of the Coven’s theme fill the arena as Wicked Willow makes her entrance, accompanied by Grizelda, Morrigan, and Wicked Witch. The Coven’s dark energy is impossible to ignore, and the atmosphere feels charged with menace. Wicked Willow prowls down the ramp, her black-and-purple gear enhancing her intimidating aura.]

Louie Linville: "And her opponent, representing the Coven and accompanied by Grizelda, Morrigan, and the Mistress of Darkness herself, Wicked Witch… she is the Widowmaker, the Enchantress of Shadows… WICKED WILLOW!"

[As the Coven surrounds the ring, Wicked Willow steps inside with an eerie grace, staring down Lady Frost with an unsettling intensity. The presence of the Coven adds to the crowd's unease, with fans unsure whom to root for.]

Johnny: "Another member of the Coven takes the stage, Eddie. The dominance of this faction in the Queen of the North tournament is undeniable."

Eddie: "Dominance is right, Johnny—but let’s not forget, Lady Frost is no slouch. She’s got the skills, the brains, and the icy precision to outlast Wicked Willow."

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Wicked Willow takes the early advantage, landing a thunderous Spider’s Web Sidewalk Slam and locking Lady Frost in a Bearhug, but Lady Frost fights back, countering with her Backpack Stunner and Bridging Figure Eight Leglock.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Lady Frost showing her technical skill early on, Eddie. She’s not backing down from Wicked Willow’s power game!"

Eddie: "She might not be backing down, Johnny, but let’s face it—Wicked Willow’s strength could crush the Ice Queen in one fell swoop."

[Both competitors trade fierce blows, with Wicked Willow landing her devastating Widow’s Peak Neckbreaker and Lady Frost countering with sharp Knife Edge Chops. The Coven and Mad Hatter provide constant distractions at ringside, adding chaos to the contest.]

Johnny: "Mad Hatter’s antics and the Coven’s interference are turning this match into complete pandemonium!"

Eddie (flipping sides): "Pandemonium, Johnny? I call it strategic brilliance. Both sides know what it takes to win!"

[The match escalates as Lady Frost hits a dazzling Headscissors Facebuster while Wicked Willow answers with a brutal Chokebomb. The crowd is on the edge of their seats, invested in every near-fall and counter.]

Johnny: "What a battle! These women are pulling out all the stops in their quest for the Queen of the North title!"

Eddie (gleefully): "Stop-pulling isn’t enough, Johnny. Wicked Willow’s going to have to break Lady Frost if she wants that crown—and I think she’s just the woman for the job."

[In the final moments, Wicked Willow lands another Chokebomb and covers Lady Frost for the pin as Honest Abe counts.]

Referee: "One… Two… THREE!"

[The bell rings as Wicked Willow stands tall, raising her arms in victory while the Coven surrounds her in celebration.]

Louie Linville: "Here is your winner, and advancing to the semifinals of the Queen of the North Tournament… WICKED WILLOW!"

Johnny: "What a dominant performance by Wicked Willow, Eddie. Lady Frost fought hard, but in the end, the Widowmaker moves on to the semifinals."

Eddie: "Dominant is right, Johnny. Wicked Willow has proved once again why the Coven is unstoppable. Lady Frost gave it her all, but sometimes even ice can’t withstand shadow."

[The camera focuses on Wicked Willow and the Coven as the show prepares to transition to the next segment.]

SPECIAL VIGNETTE - BERNARD RETROSPECTIVE

Bernard

[The show returns from commercial, transitioning to the announce desk where Johnny Michaels wears a somber expression, and Eddie Ellington grins with smug delight. The NPCW logo sparkles above them as the crowd buzzes in anticipation.]

Johnny Michaels (with a serious tone): "Welcome back to Polar Power, NPCW Universe. Tonight, we’ve got an unsettling situation involving one of NPCW’s most iconic figures. Last week, the Commissioner’s Office issued a mandate that former Commissioner Bernard must step into the ring and face the Demon of Destruction, Abaddon. If he doesn’t compete tonight, Bernard will be fired—not just as a wrestler, but as a manager too."

Eddie Ellington (gleefully interjecting): "And let’s not forget, Johnny—Bernard hasn’t wrestled consistently in years. Sure, he managed that match in December against Yeti, but come on, the man’s practically collecting dust! Abaddon’s going to sweep the floor with him."

Johnny (ignoring Eddie’s remarks): "This isn’t just about wrestling, folks—this is a revenge plot by Ebenezer Scrooge himself. Bernard’s integrity and influence as a manager have made him a thorn in Scrooge’s side, and now, Scrooge wants to humiliate him. This match is less about competition and more about vengeance."

Eddie: "Vengeance? Please, Johnny. I call it poetic justice. Scrooge is just reminding Bernard that the spotlight doesn’t shine on the retired—and it definitely doesn’t shine on amateurs past their prime."

Johnny (firmly): "Eddie, Bernard may have ring rust, but he’s a former Shooting Star Champion—a legend who earned his reputation through skill, determination, and heart. And speaking of his legacy, Bernard has arrived at the arena tonight and is preparing for his match. To remind everyone of the glory he once brought to the ring, we’ve put together a special retrospective of his greatest moments. Let’s take a look."

[The broadcast transitions to the vignette, set to inspirational music. Scenes of Bernard’s past matches unfold, showcasing his undeniable talent and contributions to NPCW history.]

[Footage 1: Bernard teaming up with the Jolly Elves against the Nutcracker Legion. The crowd cheers as Bernard lands a Flying Elbow Drop on Nutcracker Soldier #1, followed by a Triple Clothesline with the Jolly Elves.]

[Footage 2: Bernard winning the Shooting Star Championship in a high-stakes match against Nutcracker General. The highlight shows Bernard hitting his signature move, the Northern Starlight Splash, to secure the pinfall victory. He raises the title above his head, the crowd roaring in approval.]

[Footage 3: Bernard’s electrifying moments against other NPCW Superstars, including his tactical reversals and resilience in multi-man matches.]

[Footage 4: Bernard teaming with Santa in a classic tag match against Belsnickel and Fenwick Grimbough. The crowd erupts as Bernard and Santa hit a synchronized Double Superkick on their opponents.]

[Footage 5: A montage of Bernard’s charismatic promos, where his confidence and eloquence earned him fans across generations.]

[The vignette ends with Bernard standing victorious in the ring, a younger version of himself with fire in his eyes and the NPCW logo shining above him. The screen fades back to the announce desk.]

Johnny Michaels (reflectively): "Bernard’s career has been one of triumph, courage, and respect—qualities that made him a fan favorite and an NPCW icon. Whatever happens tonight, NPCW Universe, let’s not forget the legacy he’s created."

Eddie (smirking): "Legacy? Johnny, all I saw was a highlight reel of an old man clinging to his glory days. Abaddon’s going to do Bernard a favor tonight—he’ll make sure the retirement speech comes with extra impact!"

Johnny (sternly): "Eddie, you may enjoy watching Scrooge try to tear down Bernard’s reputation, but NPCW Universe, I think we know better. Bernard is about to face the toughest challenge of his career, and I believe he’ll show us all the spirit of a champion."

[The camera lingers on Johnny’s determined expression before transitioning to the next segment.]

MATCH 5 - Bernard VS Abaddon, Demon of Destruction (With Lillith)

VS

[The camera transitions to the ring as the broadcast returns from Bernard’s retrospective vignette. Louie Linville stands center stage, ready to announce the night’s high-stakes match.]

Louie Linville: "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall! If Bernard fails to compete, he will be terminated as both a wrestler and a manager. Introducing first, accompanied by Lillith, representing the Demonic Legion… he is the Demon of Destruction… ABADDON!"

[The arena lights dim to a sinister red hue as eerie music fills the air. Abaddon emerges on the stage, his ominous presence amplified by the smoke billowing around him. His fiery eyes burn with malice, and the spiked details of his black-and-red gear add to his menacing aura. Beside him stands Lillith, dressed in gothic attire, smirking devilishly as she glances at the crowd. Together, they exude an overwhelming sense of dread as they approach the ring.]

Johnny Michaels (from the announce desk, grimly): "Abaddon has arrived, and this is truly a dangerous situation for Bernard. Abaddon isn’t just a force in NPCW—he’s a destructive powerhouse with no mercy."

Eddie Ellington (smirking): "Mercy? Johnny, mercy’s not even in Abaddon’s dictionary. Bernard’s stepping into his world tonight, and it’s going to be all flames and fury."

[The music changes as Bernard’s theme plays, drawing cheers from the fans who respect his legacy. The former Commissioner steps onto the stage, wearing his classic wrestling gear that still carries the aura of his glory days. Bernard’s expression is calm and resolute, though there’s an undeniable weight behind his eyes as he marches to the ring.]

Louie Linville: "And his opponent, a former Shooting Star Champion and one of the legends of NPCW… BERNARD!"

[The crowd rallies behind Bernard as he steps into the ring, facing Abaddon with unwavering determination. The size and power difference between the two is stark, but Bernard doesn’t flinch.]

Johnny: "The odds may be stacked against Bernard, but let’s not forget—this man is a legend. He’s faced incredible challenges before, and while tonight might be his toughest yet, he’s ready to fight."

Eddie (mocking): "Ready to fight? Come on, Johnny. Bernard’s about to be squashed like an expired fruitcake. Abaddon’s already in his head—and soon, he’ll be knocking him clean out of the ring!"

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Abaddon dominates early, delivering his brutal Abaddon’s Fury (F-5) and a thunderous Bodyslam that sends Bernard reeling.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Abaddon starting strong, using his overwhelming power to gain control of the match. Bernard’s in trouble early!"

Eddie (smirking): "Trouble? Johnny, Bernard’s practically already finished. Abaddon’s just having fun before the inevitable pinfall."

[Bernard manages a comeback with a desperate Dive Through the Ropes, staggering Abaddon outside the ring and forcing him to return at an eight-count. Bernard follows up with a Single Leg Takedown, showing flashes of his past prowess.]

Johnny: "Bernard isn’t going down without a fight! That dive shows he’s still got fight left in him."

Eddie: "Fight left in him? Johnny, he’s just stalling the inevitable. Abaddon’s going to crush him like a holiday candy cane—snap and gone!"

[Lillith’s interference at ringside helps Abaddon maintain control, spraying dark mist into Bernard’s eyes and passing objects to Abaddon. Abaddon capitalizes with another Abaddon’s Fury (F-5) and several punishing strikes.]

Johnny: "Lillith’s interference is completely tilting the scales here! This is disgraceful!"

Eddie (mocking): "Oh, come on, Johnny. It’s called teamwork. Lillith’s just showing Bernard what the Demonic Legion is all about!"

[The match nears its climax as Bernard lands a Dropkick and rallies with a few headbutts, but Abaddon quickly regains dominance. He finishes the bout with a devastating Hellfire Plex (Overhead Belly To Belly Suplex), pinning Bernard as Honest Abe counts.]

Referee: "One… Two… THREE!"

[The bell rings as Abaddon stands victorious, raising his arms in triumph while Lillith claps gleefully at ringside.]

Louie Linville: "Here is your winner… ABADDON!"

Johnny: "An unfortunate end for Bernard, but let’s give him credit—he fought with heart and determination, even against impossible odds."

Eddie (grinning): "Heart doesn’t win matches, Johnny. Abaddon’s power and Lillith’s cunning were the perfect recipe for disaster, and Bernard just got served!"

[The camera lingers on Bernard, who struggles to his feet as the crowd shows respect with applause. Abaddon and Lillith exit the ring triumphantly as the scene transitions to the next segment.]

MATCH 6 - Nutcracker Captain (with Nutcracker General) VS Lion

VS

[After the ring is cleared, the camera cuts back to Johnny Michaels and Eddie Ellington at the announce desk. Johnny has an excited energy in his voice, while Eddie looks smug as ever.]

Johnny Michaels: "NPCW Universe, coming up next, we have a match between two competitors who are looking to stake their claim on the road to contention. First, we have the Nutcracker Captain. This is his first TV match since his hard-fought loss to Big Bad Wolf in the Northern Lights Title tournament finals."

Eddie Ellington: "And let me tell you, Johnny, that loss lit a fire under him. Nutcracker Captain has been undergoing extra training under the watchful eye of the Nutcracker General, and he’s more dangerous than ever. Lion better bring more than a roar—he’s walking into a battlefield."

Johnny: "You’re not wrong about both men having something to prove, Eddie. Lion of the Wizard’s Warriors is looking for a victory tonight to kickstart his climb toward championship contention. A win here would be big for either competitor."

Eddie (slyly): "Big for Lion? Please. If you ask me, he’s just a housecat looking to play king of the jungle. Let’s get to the real star of the match, Nutcracker Captain."

Johnny (ignoring Eddie): "Let’s head to the ring where Louie Linville is ready to introduce the competitors!"

[The camera transitions to the ring, where Louie Linville stands with his microphone.]

Louie Linville: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall with a ten-minute TV time limit!"

[The crowd cheers as upbeat music fills the arena, signaling the arrival of Lion. He emerges from the curtain, his golden mane-like hair and red-and-gold gear reminiscent of his roots in the Wizard’s Warriors. Lion pumps his fists to the crowd, feeding off their energy as he confidently strides to the ring.]

Louie Linville: "Introducing first, representing the Wizard’s Warriors… he is the fearless king of the jungle… LION!"

[Lion steps into the ring, climbing the ropes to let out a mighty roar for the fans. The crowd responds with loud cheers, rallying behind him.]

Johnny: "Lion is fired up, Eddie! He’s looking to show the NPCW Universe that he’s ready to take on anyone in his quest for greatness."

Eddie (mocking): "Quest for greatness? Johnny, Lion’s about to get declawed. Let’s see how fearless he is when Nutcracker Captain brings the pain."

[The arena lights dim slightly as military-style drumbeats begin. The Nutcracker Captain emerges, flanked by the stern and imposing Nutcracker General. Both men march to the ring in unison, the Captain’s decorated uniform-inspired gear giving him an air of precision and discipline.]

Louie Linville: "And his opponent, accompanied by Nutcracker General, representing the Nutcracker Legion… he is the pride of the regiment… NUTCRACKER CAPTAIN!"

[The Nutcracker Captain climbs into the ring, saluting the General before turning his focus to Lion. The General lingers at ringside, his presence adding an intimidating factor to the match.]

Johnny: "The Nutcracker Captain is looking to bounce back after his loss in the Northern Lights Title tournament finals, and under the guidance of the General, he’s coming in with a renewed focus."

Eddie (grinning): "Renewed focus? Johnny, the Captain is a machine of discipline and dominance. Lion’s about to learn the hard way that playtime is over."

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Lion starts strong, landing a Brainbuster that momentarily stuns the Nutcracker Captain, but interference from the Nutcracker General tilts the scales back in the Captain’s favor.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Lion opens with a Brainbuster, but the General’s interference is already making its presence felt!"

Eddie (defensively): "Presence felt? Johnny, the General’s just observing. Lion’s lucky the Captain didn’t end the match right there!"

[Both competitors trade offense, with Lion showcasing his agility with moves like his Courageous Claw and Lion’s Leap (Top Rope Splash), while Nutcracker Captain utilizes his technical precision with moves like the Nutcracker Cannon (Spear) and a devastating Inverted Cloverleaf.]

Johnny: "What an incredible back-and-forth match! Both men are bringing their best tonight, and the NPCW Universe is loving it!"

Eddie: "Back-and-forth? Let’s not kid ourselves, Johnny. The Captain is just toying with Lion before delivering the final blow."

[The General continues to interfere, using his scepter and riding crop to choke and attack Lion while Honest Abe’s back is turned, but Lion shows resilience, fighting through the underhanded tactics.]

Johnny (frustrated): "The General’s constant interference is disgraceful! How is Honest Abe letting this slide?"

Eddie (smirking): "Slide? Johnny, this is strategy! The Nutcracker Legion knows how to work together—it’s called teamwork. Maybe the Wizard’s Warriors should take notes."

[The clock winds down as both men trade high-impact moves, with Lion landing his Main Event Neckbreaker and Nutcracker Captain delivering a brutal Spike Piledriver. Despite their efforts, neither competitor can secure the win before the ten-minute time limit expires.]

Louie Linville: "Ladies and gentlemen, the ten-minute time limit has expired. This match is declared a DRAW!"

[The crowd boos and cheers in equal measure as the two competitors glare at each other in frustration. Nutcracker General helps the Captain to his feet, while Lion pounds the mat in annoyance.]

Johnny: "A draw might not be the result either man wanted, but what a match! Both competitors proved they have what it takes to climb the ranks in NPCW."

Eddie: "Proved? Johnny, the Captain had that match in the bag! The only reason this ended in a draw is because Lion ran out of nine lives!"

[The camera focuses on the intense standoff between Lion and Nutcracker Captain as the scene transitions to the next segment.]

MATCH 7 - Friar Tuck  VS Howler 1 (with the Wolf Pack)

VS

[The camera returns to the announce desk, where Johnny Michaels and Eddie Ellington are ready to introduce the next match.]

Johnny Michaels: "NPCW Universe, the feud between the Merry Band and the Wolf Pack continues tonight as Friar Tuck of the Merry Band squares off against Howler #1 of the Wolf Pack. These two factions have been clashing since the Madness Supercard, and tonight is another chapter in their heated rivalry."

Eddie Ellington: "Another chapter? Johnny, this book’s already been written, and the Wolf Pack’s got the title! The Merry Band is just a group of forest-dwelling misfits who think they can hang with the big dogs. Well, newsflash—they can’t!"

Johnny: "We’ve seen Robin Hood targeting Big Bad Wolf’s Northern Lights Title, while Friar Tuck and Little John are battling the Howlers for a shot at the NPCW Tag Team Titles. But tonight, Friar Tuck is flying solo against the powerhouse that is Howler #1."

Eddie (grinning): "Flying solo? More like crashing and burning, Johnny. Friar Tuck’s got the agility of a barrel and the strategy of a goose chase."

Johnny (ignoring Eddie): "Let’s head to the ring where Louie Linville is ready to introduce the competitors."

[The camera transitions to the ring, where Louie Linville stands with his microphone.]

Louie Linville: "This next contest is scheduled for one fall!"

[The upbeat and adventurous theme of the Merry Band fills the arena as Friar Tuck makes his entrance, accompanied by Robin Hood and Little John. The crowd cheers loudly as the trio high-five fans along the ramp. Friar Tuck exudes confidence, despite the looming challenge ahead.]

Louie Linville: "Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Robin Hood and Little John, representing the Merry Band… FRIAR TUCK!"

Johnny: "The Merry Band is here to support Friar Tuck, but noticeably absent tonight is Maid Marion. Eddie, any idea why?"

Eddie (smirking): "Oh, come on, Johnny. Have you seen Robin Hood’s wandering eye? No wonder Marion’s skipping this one—she’s probably tired of playing second fiddle to his ego."

[The music shifts to the eerie and menacing theme of the Wolf Pack. Howler #1 emerges, joined by his tag team partner Howler #2 and Northern Lights Champion Big Bad Wolf, who proudly displays his title belt. The trio’s intimidating presence quiets the crowd’s cheers into uneasy murmurs.]

Louie Linville: "And his opponent, accompanied by Howler #2 and the Northern Lights Champion, Big Bad Wolf, representing the Wolf Pack… HOWLER #1!"

[The Wolf Pack saunters to the ring with predatory confidence. Howler #1’s snarl and animalistic movements contrast sharply with the Merry Band’s cheerful energy. Big Bad Wolf raises his title belt high, drawing boos from the crowd.]

Johnny: "Notice Moonshadow isn’t with the Wolf Pack tonight. Do you think her earlier loss to Wicked Witch has caused some friction within the group?"

Eddie: "Friction? Please, Johnny. She’s probably icing that ankle after that wicked—emphasis on wicked—ankle lock. The Wolf Pack doesn’t do drama; they do domination."

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Friar Tuck starts strong with a Cross Body Block, showcasing surprising agility for his size. Howler #1 counters with vicious attacks like Back Claws and Powerbombs, quickly turning the tide.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Friar Tuck opening with impressive offense, but Howler #1’s power is taking over! This is a battle of speed versus strength!"

Eddie: "Speed? Johnny, Friar Tuck’s ‘speed’ is like watching paint dry. Howler #1 is just letting him tire himself out before delivering the knockout bite."

[Both factions at ringside provide constant distractions, with Big Bad Wolf and Howler #2 orchestrating interference while Robin Hood and Little John cheer Tuck on. The action inside the ring remains intense, with Friar Tuck landing moves like Slingshots and Sleeperholds, while Howler #1 executes brutal Samoan Drops and his signature Howler Drop.]

Johnny: "The Wolf Pack’s interference is giving Howler #1 a clear advantage here! Honest Abe needs to get control of this match!"

Eddie (grinning): "Control? Johnny, the Wolf Pack is control. Friar Tuck should’ve stayed in the forest where he belongs."

[In the final minutes, both competitors trade high-impact moves, but neither can secure the victory before the time limit expires. Honest Abe calls for the bell.]

Louie Linville: "Ladies and gentlemen, the time limit has expired. This match is declared a DRAW!"

[The crowd erupts with mixed reactions as the Merry Band and Wolf Pack glare at each other from opposite sides of the ring. The tension between the two factions continues to simmer as the scene transitions to the next segment.]

Johnny: "A hard-fought battle between Friar Tuck and Howler #1 ends in a draw, but this feud is far from over."

Eddie: "Hard-fought? Please, Johnny. Howler #1 was just getting started! The Merry Band’s luck is running out fast."

BACKSTAGE INTERVIEW - MONSTER BASH

[The camera transitions backstage to the NPCW interview area, where the always-professional Smooth Samantha stands poised with her microphone. Dressed in a sleek crimson dress and exuding her trademark calm under pressure, she smiles toward the camera.]

Smooth Samantha: "Good evening, NPCW Universe. Joining me now are a group that has been wreaking havoc across NPCW since their arrival… please welcome Dr. Frankenstein and the Monster Bash."

[The camera pans to reveal Dr. Frankenstein standing front and center, dressed in his signature white lab coat, complete with black gloves and glasses hugging his face and his messy, gray hair. His crazed expression and erratic movements perfectly match his mad scientist persona. Behind him looms the imposing figures of the Monster Bash: Frankenstein’s Monster, Ogre, Kong, and Dragon King—all standing in ominous silence, their massive frames radiating menace as they glare at the camera.]

Smooth Samantha: "Doctor, your Monster Bash has certainly made an impact here in NPCW. From your relentless attacks to your growing list of victories, it’s clear that your team is leaving a mark. But some might call your methods… questionable."

[Dr. Frankenstein adjusts his gloves with a smirk, leaning into the microphone as his voice crescendos with dramatic intensity.]

Dr. Frankenstein: "THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE TO BRING DESTRUCTION TO NPCW!"

[The crowd can be heard booing through the broadcast feed, but Dr. Frankenstein carries on undeterred.]

Dr. Frankenstein: "And destruction is precisely what we’re delivering! The big man himself, Claus, has already been crushed beneath our might. And soon, his precious little sidekick—the red-nosed reindeer—will be sent scampering back to the stables where he belongs!"

[He sneers, leaning closer to Samantha as his tone drips with malicious glee.]

Dr. Frankenstein: "Let me tell you something, Samantha. That shiny red nose of his won’t be bright enough to guide him through the darkness we’re about to unleash. Rudolph’s days as champion are numbered, and tonight, we take our place at the top!"

Smooth Samantha (undaunted): "Doctor, while there’s no denying your team’s impact, there’s also no denying the frustration of the NPCW Universe. Fans are growing tired of your constant attacks on NPCW Superstars. What do you say to those who think the Monster Bash has crossed the line?"

[Dr. Frankenstein cackles maniacally, throwing his head back as if reveling in the chaos.]

Dr. Frankenstein: "Crossed the line? Samantha, the Monster Bash doesn’t cross lines—we obliterate them! We are here to bash, to conquer, and to destroy anyone foolish enough to stand in our way. Whether it’s the Hunter’s Enclave, the Reindeer Coalition, the Merry Band, or that lumbering oaf Jolly Green, they will ALL be reduced to rubble under the might of the Monster Bash!"

[The Monster Bash remains eerily silent, their menacing presence speaking volumes. Samantha maintains her composure, though her tone grows sharper.]

Smooth Samantha: "Well, Doctor, tonight we’ll see if your team can back up your words. With matches against Hansel, Jolly Green, and Rudolph on the horizon, the NPCW Universe is eager to see how your Monster Bash performs in the ring."

[Dr. Frankenstein responds with another round of sinister laughter, this time gripping the sides of his head as though overwhelmed by his own genius. The camera zooms in on his unhinged expression as he delivers his final statement.]

Dr. Frankenstein: "THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE TO BRING DESTRUCTION!"

[He points directly at the camera, his eyes wide and glinting with madness.]

Dr. Frankenstein: "And tonight, Samantha, we take more than just matches… we TAKE THE TITLE! BWAHAHAHAHA!"

[Smooth Samantha watches as Dr. Frankenstein’s laughter echoes, the Monster Bash still looming ominously behind him. The camera fades out on their imposing figures as the show transitions back to the ring.]

[The broadcast returns to Louie Linville, who is ready to announce the next match.]

Louie Linville: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty-minute time limit! Introducing first, accompanied by the leader of the Hunter’s Enclave, Van Helsing… representing the Hunter’s Enclave… HANSEL!"

[The adventurous theme of the Hunter’s Enclave plays as Hansel emerges onto the stage, wearing his signature leather gear adorned with hunting motifs. The crowd cheers wildly for the Enclave’s star. Van Helsing walks beside him, his stern gaze fixed on the ring, ensuring that Monster Bash doesn’t try anything underhanded.]

Johnny Michaels (at the announce desk): "Hansel is accompanied tonight by Van Helsing, the leader of the Hunter’s Enclave. With the Monster Bash’s track record for chaos, you can bet Van Helsing is here to keep them in check."

Eddie Ellington (scoffing): "Keep them in check? Johnny, Van Helsing’s just here to remind everyone he used to be relevant. Let’s see Hansel try to survive five minutes with Frankenstein’s Monster!"

[The music shifts to the ominous theme of Monster Bash, with their motto "THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE TO BRING DESTRUCTION!" flashing across the screen in eerie red lettering. The crowd boos as Frankenstein’s Monster steps onto the stage, his massive frame radiating power and menace.

Louie Linville: "And his opponent, accompanied by Dr. Frankenstein, representing Monster Bash… the Alpha Monster… FRANKENSTEIN’S MONSTER!"

[Frankenstein’s Monster moves methodically toward the ring, his steps shaking the ground as he enters the arena. Dr. Frankenstein theatrically gestures to the crowd, reveling in the boos.]

Johnny: "The Alpha Monster of the Monster Bash is here, and this man is an absolute wrecking ball. Hansel has his work cut out for him tonight."

Eddie: "Johnny, Hansel’s not just outmatched—he’s outclassed. Frankenstein’s Monster is about to teach him why the Hunter’s Enclave is nothing but a campfire sideshow."

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Hansel surprises the crowd by starting strong, hitting a Flying Forearm Smash and Atomic Kneedrop that stagger Frankenstein’s Monster early.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Hansel taking it to the Alpha Monster early! Incredible speed and technique from the Enclave’s rising star!"

Eddie: "Speed and technique? Johnny, he’s just lucky Frankenstein’s Monster is warming up. You know how long it takes to unleash true destruction!"

[The momentum shifts as Frankenstein’s Monster retaliates with powerful strikes like Back Smashes and Pendulum Back Breakers. Dr. Frankenstein’s interference with a steel chair causes Hansel to absorb additional punishment, though Van Helsing keeps a close eye on the situation.]

Johnny: "Dr. Frankenstein inserting himself into this match as expected! Hansel’s got to overcome both the Alpha Monster and the chaos at ringside."

Eddie (grinning): "Inserting himself? Johnny, the Doctor’s just enhancing the performance. It’s called teamwork—something the Enclave doesn’t understand."

[The match becomes increasingly intense, with Hansel landing high-impact moves like Spine Crushers and Power Slams, while Frankenstein’s Monster counters with devastating moves like Choke Slams and Elbow Drops. Both competitors refuse to back down, creating an enthralling battle.]

Johnny: "This match has been back-and-forth from the start! Hansel showing incredible resilience against the sheer power of Frankenstein’s Monster!"

Eddie: "Resilience, Johnny? It’s more like stubbornness. The Alpha Monster’s just biding his time before delivering the final blow!"

[In the closing moments, Hansel attempts multiple pins after landing another Atomic Kneedrop, but Frankenstein’s Monster powers out each time. The match ends in a draw as the twenty-minute time limit expires.]

Louie Linville: "Ladies and gentlemen, the time limit has expired. This match is declared a DRAW!"

[The crowd responds with loud cheers and boos, impressed by the effort from both competitors. Frankenstein’s Monster glares menacingly at Hansel, who leans against the ropes, exhausted but undeterred.]

Johnny: "What an incredible match between two rising stars of NPCW! Hansel showed he can stand toe-to-toe with one of the most dominant forces in the company."

Eddie: "Toe-to-toe? Johnny, Frankenstein’s Monster had him on the ropes the whole time! Let’s be honest—Hansel barely survived this one."

[The camera focuses on the intense standoff between Hansel and Frankenstein’s Monster as the show transitions to the next segment.]

MATCH 9 - Jolly Green VS Kong (with Dr. Frankenstein)

VS

[The camera transitions back to the announce desk, where Johnny Michaels and Eddie Ellington are ready to set up the next match.]

Johnny Michaels: "NPCW Universe, we’re about to witness a clash of titans as Jolly Green takes on Kong of the Monster Bash. Let’s not forget Jolly Green’s impressive victory over Belsnickel at the NPCW Madness Supercard in that brutal Russian Chain Match. He’s been on a mission to establish himself as a top contender, but so has Kong."

Eddie Ellington: "Kong’s not just on a mission, Johnny—he’s on a rampage. Let’s face it, Jolly Green might be big, but Kong is bigger, badder, and meaner. This is going to be a one-way ticket to the jungle floor for Jolly Green."

Johnny: "And there’s more to the story, Eddie. For the past couple of months, Jolly Green has been targeted by the enigmatic Sandman. We don’t know why, but their interference in each other’s matches has been escalating. Sandman’s absence tonight doesn’t mean Jolly Green can rest easy."

Eddie (chuckling): "Rest easy? Johnny, Sandman or not, Jolly Green’s about to get squashed by Kong—and Dr. Frankenstein will be there to watch every glorious second of it."

Johnny: "Let’s head to the ring where Louie Linville is standing by to introduce the competitors!"

[The camera transitions to the ring, where Louie Linville is ready with his microphone.]

Louie Linville: "The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Dr. Frankenstein, representing Monster Bash… the savage colossus… KONG!"

[The ominous theme of Monster Bash echoes through the arena, accompanied by their chilling motto "THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE! THEY LIVE TO BRING DESTRUCTION!" displayed on the big screen in eerie red letters. Kong stomps onto the stage, his massive frame and primal movements exuding raw power. Dr. Frankenstein follows closely, his maniacal grin and theatrical gestures heightening the crowd’s unease. Together, they approach the ring with an air of inevitable destruction.]

Johnny: "Kong is an absolute monster, and with Dr. Frankenstein at ringside, Jolly Green’s got his work cut out for him."

Eddie (grinning): "Work cut out for him? Johnny, Kong’s about to turn Jolly Green into mulch. The guy doesn’t stand a chance."

[The mood shifts as cheerful, heroic music hits the arena. Jolly Green emerges onto the stage, his workman-like attire and massive frame making him an instant fan favorite. The crowd erupts in cheers as he raises his fists, acknowledging their support.]

Louie Linville: "And his opponent, standing tall for the NPCW Universe… the giant of the people… JOLLY GREEN!"

[Jolly Green marches to the ring, slapping hands with fans along the way. He keeps his eyes locked on Kong, fully aware of the challenge ahead. The crowd chants his name, showing their unwavering support.]

Johnny: "Jolly Green may be the underdog in terms of sheer ferocity, but his heart and resilience are unmatched. The NPCW Universe is firmly behind him tonight."

Eddie: "Heart and resilience? Spare me, Johnny. This guy’s been fumbling around with chain matches and fairy tale grudges—Kong’s about to send him back to Neverland."

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Jolly Green starts strong, using his size and strength to deliver a Belly-to-Belly Suplex and a devastating Backbreaker, putting Kong on the defensive early.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Jolly Green taking control here! He’s using his power effectively against Kong!"

Eddie: "Taking control? Johnny, he’s just getting lucky. Kong’s letting him play around before he crushes him like a grape."

[Kong regains momentum, hitting moves like a Kneebuster and a Sledge Hammer to the Chest. Dr. Frankenstein’s presence at ringside adds an air of unpredictability, but Jolly Green refuses to back down, landing a series of Uppercuts and another Backbreaker.]

Johnny: "Jolly Green showing incredible resilience here! He’s taking the fight straight to Kong!"

Eddie: "Resilience, Johnny? It’s called desperation. Kong’s just waiting for the perfect moment to end this."

[In a dramatic turn of events, Jolly Green attempts a pin after a powerful Backbreaker, but Kong reverses it into a pin of his own. Honest Abe counts to three, and the bell rings, signaling Kong’s victory.]

Louie Linville: "Here is your winner… KONG!"

Johnny: "A heartbreaking loss for Jolly Green, but what an incredible effort. He showed the heart of a warrior tonight."

Eddie (smirking): "Heart of a warrior? Please, Johnny. He showed the heart of a loser. Kong did exactly what we knew he’d do—win!"

[Suddenly, the arena erupts in confusion as Sandman appears from the crowd, blindsiding Jolly Green. Sandman uses a rag that appears to put Jolly Green to sleep, leaving him vulnerable. The Black Knight emerges to assist Sandman in the attack, adding to the chaos. The crowd boos loudly as the duo continues their assault.]

Sandman

Black Knight

Johnny: "Sandman! Sandman is here, and he’s targeting Jolly Green again! Someone’s got to stop this madness!"

[Just as things look dire for Jolly Green, Paul Bunyan storms the ring to a massive ovation. The giant lumberjack clears the ring with his sheer presence, forcing Sandman and Black Knight to flee through the crowd. Paul helps Jolly Green to his feet, the two giants standing together as the crowd cheers.]

Paul Bunyan

Johnny: "It looks like we’ve got a new partnership forming here, Eddie—Paul Bunyan and Jolly Green, two giants of men standing tall against the chaos!"

Eddie: "Partnership? Johnny, it’s just two big guys who can’t handle their own problems. Sandman and Black Knight will deal with them soon enough."

Johnny Michaels: "NPCW Universe, it’s time for the main event—Rudolph’s first title defense as NPCW Champion, and it’s against Ogre of the Monster Bash. Let’s not forget the history between Rudolph and this destructive faction. From ambushes to chaotic brawls, Monster Bash has been relentless in trying to dismantle the Reindeer Coalition and everyone who stands with them."

Eddie Ellington: "Dismantle? Johnny, let’s call it what it is—Monster Bash has been setting things right. Rudolph didn’t earn that title at Madness; he stole it in that Six-Man Tag match! And tonight, his first defense will be his last. Ogre’s going to send him right back to guiding sleighs in the snow."

[The camera transitions to the ring, where Louie Linville is standing by with his microphone.]

Louie Linville: "NPCW Universe, the following contest is your main event of the evening and is scheduled for one fall! It is for the NPCW Championship!"

[Ogre climbs into the ring with methodical precision, his gaze locked on the entrance ramp as he waits for Rudolph.]

Johnny: "Ogre is here, and this man is nothing short of a wrecking machine. Rudolph is going to have to dig deep to overcome this challenge."

Eddie (grinning): "Dig deep? Johnny, Rudolph’s already in over his head. Ogre’s about to do what everyone’s been waiting for—rip that title out of Rudolph’s hooves."

[Rudolph energetically enters the ring, holding his title high for all to see. He points to the crowd, acknowledging their support before locking his gaze on Ogre.]

Johnny: "Rudolph’s debut title defense starts now, and you can feel the energy in the arena. The Fighting Champion of the People is ready for battle!"

Eddie (mocking): "Fighting Champion of the People? Johnny, that’s just a knock against Santa. If you ask me, Rudolph’s light is about to dim for good."

[The bell rings, and the match begins. Rudolph starts fast, landing Flying Drop Kicks and a Cross Body Block to keep Ogre off balance, but Ogre counters with raw power, executing moves like Backslams and Sledge to Chest.]

Johnny (calling the action): "Rudolph using his speed and agility to stay ahead, but Ogre’s power is proving difficult to overcome!"

Eddie: "Difficult? Johnny, Ogre’s just warming up. Rudolph’s prancing around now, but he’ll be flat on his back soon enough."

[Around the midway point of the match, the camera catches Grinch Heyman sitting in the crowd, watching intently. Johnny quickly points this out.]

Johnny: "Wait a second—Grinch Heyman is here! What’s he doing in the crowd, watching this match?"

Eddie (grinning): "Scouting, Johnny. I hear Grinch Heyman’s got new talent coming in, and maybe he’s eyeing Rudolph for something big. Or, maybe he’s just here to watch Ogre make history—who knows?"

[The match continues to escalate, with both competitors trading high-impact moves. Ogre lands his signature Ogre’s Wrath (F-5), while Rudolph counters with a Flying Body Press (Guiding Light) and Headbutts. The crowd is completely invested, roaring with every near-fall and counter.]

Johnny: "This match is electric! Both competitors giving it everything they’ve got in this championship showdown!"

Eddie: "Giving it everything? Johnny, Ogre’s doing all the heavy lifting. Rudolph’s just clinging to that title like it’s his blankie."

[In the closing moments, Rudolph manages to rally after surviving another Ogre’s Wrath. He hits his Flying Body Press (Guiding Light) one final time, successfully pinning Ogre for the three-count as Honest Abe calls for the bell.]

Referee: "One… Two… THREE!"

Louie Linville: "Here is your winner, and still NPCW Champion… RUDOLPH!"

[The crowd erupts in cheers as Rudolph stands tall, holding his title high while perched on the corner ropes. Pyro goes off as Rudolph celebrates his hard-earned victory.]

Johnny: "There’s your champion, NPCW Universe! Rudolph proving why he is the Fighting Champion of the People in his first-ever title defense!"

Eddie (grumbling): "Lucky champion, Johnny. Ogre had him beat several times—Rudolph’s just luckier than he is skilled. Mark my words, that title’s changing hands soon enough."

[The show fades to black with Johnny’s voiceover.]

Johnny (voiceover): "Thank you for joining us, NPCW Universe, for another night of unforgettable action. Tune in next week for more battles, drama, and surprises—only on Polar Power! Good night!"

CLOSING SEGMENT

[Just as the screen begins to fade to black after Rudolph’s triumphant title defense, the broadcast cuts to a burst of vibrant colors and upbeat music. KC Rogers appears on the screen, practically glowing with enthusiasm. She’s dressed in a sparkling green dress that perfectly complements her fiery red hair, and her oversized multicolored glasses add a playful, eccentric flair.]

KC Rogers (energetically): "HEY, HEY, HEY, NPCW UNIVERSE! Don’t touch that remote, because I’ve got some BIG news for you! Next week, the ladies of NPCW are taking over Polar Power, and it’s going to be ABSOLUTELY epic!"

[The screen shifts to a dynamic graphic featuring Pearl, Gretel, Wicked Witch, and Wicked Willow, with the Queen of the North crown shining brightly in the center.]

KC Rogers: "We’ve got the SEMI-FINALS and FINALS of the Queen of the North Championship Tournament! Pearl, Gretel, Wicked Witch, and Wicked Willow—four incredible competitors, but only ONE will walk away with the crown and title. Who’s your pick? Personally, I’m too excited to choose!"

[The camera zooms back to KC as more graphics pop up on screen, highlighting Mrs. Claus and Morrigan.]

KC Rogers: "But that’s not all, folks! We’ll also have a special Number One Contenders Match between Mrs. Claus and Morrigan. The winner will receive a golden opportunity—a cash-in contract they can use at ANY time for the Queen of the North title. Talk about high stakes, right?"

[The camera pans around as colorful confetti rains down behind KC, intensifying the celebratory vibe. Her excitement is contagious, and she claps her hands together with giddy anticipation.]

KC Rogers: "And it gets even better! Next week, we’ll be joined by special guest announcers Hana Nakamura and Vera ‘Iron Maiden’ Steele! Trust me, folks, you don’t want to miss what these two powerhouses have to say about the action."

[KC steps closer to the camera, her playful grin widening as she leans in like she’s letting the NPCW Universe in on a secret.]

KC Rogers: "So, grab your snacks, mark your calendars, and tell ALL your friends to tune in! The queens are taking over, and it’s going to be a night to remember! I’ll see YOU right here next week on Polar Power! Don’t miss it!"

[KC winks at the camera before twirling dramatically as the screen fades out to a glittering NPCW logo, leaving fans buzzing with anticipation.]
