Voice: Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the Root of all Ashley -- your weekly dose of her views of the world of professional wrestling -- with your host-Ashley!!

(The screen lights up to show us a very nicely done room with an attractive brunette sitting in a chair with a beaming bright smile on her face. She is wearing a gold and black dress with a jean jacket-vest on over that and has a plasma HD widescreen TV set up next to her)

Ashley: Hello everyone and welcome to the fourth edition of my podcast, the Root of all Ashley, which is now being hosted by WrestleWorld itself. I want to thank Mister Jaywalker and Miss Claudia Michaels for this chance.

I’m also sorry about this one being out a little bit late but as I was flying back in from the show, a friend of mine was getting my new camera set up together here and a storm fried my old power source because someone didn’t think there would be a storm that night.

Female Voice [off camera]: Geez, why don’t you spank me for making a small mistake?

Ashley: At any rate, this recent chapter was off the hook and I will be covering everything in turn, save for the carnival bits.

Mostly because that scared the shit outta me and I wanted to shrink down and hide in Arata’s coat pocket until those segments were over. I mean unless your name is “Celes Dumont”, you should not enjoy those bits.

Female Voice[o/c]: You do know she watches this, right?

(Ashley rolls her eyes and laughs for a moment before the ever-present monitor flares to life with a shot of Chloe Leuthard glaring hatefully up at Jacob Senn as Chad Kennedy holds him back)

Ashley: I will acknowledge the fact that I have been a bit critical of Chloe and with good reason, but the fact that she actually took the fight to a guy like Jacob Senn last week and this week came out and basically called the entire announce team for focusing on him rather than her during her own match may have been a tad egotistical...but in a way I can respect where she’s coming from.

But still, she went after Jacob FREAKING Senn!!
I can understand wanting to make a statement, Chloe, but going after perhaps one of the more dangerous wrestlers of the current era like that wasn’t the best idea in the world...ballsy as all fuck, but was it really sane?

At any rate, Chloe really laid down her desire to prove that she was the best in the entirety of Wrestleworld and I truly hope that we can see this fire from her as the weeks move on.

Now from a killer segment to one that left me scratching my head.

(The monitor shifts to Yu Ese kicking a “local luchadore” as Kanaida Sharpe looks on in dismay)

Ashley: Okay so Yu Ese [does air quotes] “agrees” to be Kanaida’s partner and then he throws together this completely random match and the locals win it because Yu low balls one.

Now knowing Kana like I do, he does some of his best work when in a tag team because that’s when he will hit some truly interesting and innovating high spots… but I don’t understand his reasoning for wanting to find a partner.

I mean yes, Yu Ese looks like one of Kana’s favorite wrestlers in the Omega Wrestling Alliance’s Mongoose McQueen but still, there is a certain lack in Yu Ese’s being that makes Kana wanting to tag with him more and more confusing in my mind.

But now we come to the first match of the night which was signed in the aftermath of the Balaur and Matsuda match the week before at Crazy Violet squares off in a three-way dance against Stephane Matsuda and Balaur at the first pay per view but tonight, Violet has some answering to do to the “Woke One” herself.

(the graphic on the monitor shifts to that of the match in question with Matsuda looking hard and confident at an equally bored and frantic Violet)

Now this was a very physical match with both wrestlers involved hitting each other with everything humanly possible with the two of them hitting some of their major signature moves and almost getting three counts but it would be an incredible timing of moves when Stephanie went for her Blasian Sunrise submission hold onto Violet who in turn just as quickly and suddenly shifted it into her Ultraviolent driver and got the three count win!

My only thought to this match is that I honestly had Stephanie pegged to win the match but now one has to worry about Violet now having one of the biggest targets on her back in case the War Queen comes to collect.

(The graphic then changed to Claudia Michales dressed to the nines in front of four men as a Halloween party happens around them)

Ashley: The next segment covered the strange little party that Miss Michaels was holding that featured the four men that were involved in Outlaw Rules matches in the last chapter in the forms of Tristan Killebrew, Reno Dumont, Nobi, and Christopher Sabertooth for her first Great American Bash.

And despite Miss Michaels pulling off a very… [blushes faintly] effective Jessica Rabbit costume and some not so kind comments from three of the four men in question, Claudia revealed that all four men would be involved in a ladder match at Violent Delights to determine the number one contender to Michaels’ American Dream championship with a FIFTH to be determined in the ladder match at the end of the show with the actual contenders match itself happening at Wrestleworld’s first ever pay per view entitled Violent Delights, of which I will cover later in this episode.

(The graphic then changes to Jessica Rose looking upset as Amelia Abernathy looks on unimpressed as Jeeves hands her a cup)

Ashley: Okay, I honestly don’t know what’s going on with my Jessica Rose as of late. First, she suffers the second-fastest defeat in Wrestleworld history last week, this week she suffers an even faster one, and during night two of Lethal Angels of Wrestling’s lethal five hundred tournaments, she loses not only the match but also her friendship with Sidney Knight!!

Now when I first discovered Jessica Rose, I was happy because there was a face wrestler that I could support that didn’t do the extremely cheesy aspects of being a face and she had the legit moves to back them up.

Jessica, honey, if you are watching this and need someone to talk to then I’m here for you because I hate seeing you keep falling like this.

(the match graphic changes to a shot of Christian Zayne, Ryan Young, Raoul, Scott Smith, Jordan Rattler, Jimmy Johnson, and Franke James all in the ring and looking up at the briefcase suspended above)

Ashley: Now this match was a bit of a clusterfuck even for me to call and I was only watching it! I mean you had five of the younger talents on the roster facing off against each other for a shot at being the fifth person in the contenders match at Violent Delights.

In the opening moments of the match everyone pretty much after Frankie James for some reason, much to the horror of his manager on the outside,

The match then descended into the usual chaos that commonly happens in this kind of match with several very interesting spots which included a minor favorite of mine when Frankie James pulled a ladder that resembled the one that was spray-painted onto his tights but right when he could’ve taken advantage of everyone else being occupied, he did a shimmy shimmy shake at Claudia.

Personally I don’t blame Miss Michaels from the look that she gave, the guy seriously looks like a bad porn star from the nineteen seventies… like a ten cent at a dollar general version of Ron Jeremy.

Another spot that I enjoyed was when Raoul hits a superkick on Johnson as he got through the ropes which caused him to land on Young on the bridged ladder at ringside before turning to face Zayne where he goes for another superkick only for Zayne to block it and then sending Raoul to the outside to send Raoul, along with Johnson and Young, through the bridged ladder with a running released powerbomb... had to admit that was hella sexy.

But after several more rather impressive moves throughout this chaotic mismash of a match, it was Jordan Rattler who came out the winner and will join Dumont, Sabertooth, Killebrew, and Nobi at Violent Delights to challenge for the right to be the number one contender to the American Dream title.

(The graphic then changes again to a shot of the rather imposing Balaur glaring down at a confident, and smug, looking Chad Kennedy)

Ashley: The next match on the card was one that has me wondering if Jacob Senn really has it in for his client as Chad Kennedy takes on Draconis Balaur.

Female Voice [o/c]: Yeah, I have a better question though. Why does Chad enter to the Pina Colada song?? I mean it’s a great song and all, but come on!

(Ashley shakes her head and composes herself before continuing)

Ashley: This match was painfully short. At first Chad froze like a deer caught in the headlights of a semi truck before he charged the taller man and got swatted away like a fly for his efforts and even with Senn on the outside of the ring, giving him advice, nothing seemed to be working for the poor man as the Romanian Revenger simply kept coming and showing his power.

But in the end, one Mark of the Beast later and Chad Kennedy's suffering was over.

To be honest, I'm thinking that if given half a chance and a little bit more confidence in himself, Chad could've very easily beaten Balaur. Even though I wasn't sure of him before... I'm starting to warm up to him.

But then this happens...

(The monitor shows a clip of Crazy Violet sliding into the ring from behind and smashing a steel chair against the skull of Draconis Balaur over and over again)

Ashley: It’s almost like Violet is looking for each and every way to get ahead of the match to come where each and every one of the voices in her head will have to answer for what they have done, no matter who was driving the body.

At this point, Stephanie Matsuda herself hit the ringside area and took care of business how only she could which lead us to the main event of the evening.

(The monitor shifts again to show us Brian Daniels looking confident against an equally confident looking Arata Asakura with the Shogun Championship appearing in the space between them)

Ashley: Now some people have accused me of being a little bit biased because of an [does air quotes] “attraction” to Arata, but the truth of the matter is who wouldn’t have that kind of reaction?

He’s confident, highly-skilled, in the ring, and is on a level that my own cousin Eric has stated is “beyond supernatural”... but when you put him in the ring against a proven fighter like Daniels and you’re sure to get your money's worth and that’s what happened here.

After the rather impressive entrances of both men in this match and introductions, we were off in perhaps one of the IF not the most physical match of the evening as we had our first match for any title here in Wrestleworld and needless to say that if this match doesn’t get a seven-star rating from Dave Metzler, then he’s gotta be dead in a ditch somewhere.

There was a lot of back and forth action with Arata quickly slowing down any momentum generated by Daniels with several very impressive high spots and low moments by both of the competitors in this match, such as the incredible series of moves from Daniels that started with his Kingslayer axe kick that lead to a brutal Caustic Echo attempt which Arata ducked and allowed for the Japanese superstar to land a fearsome roundhouse kick of his own for a three-count attempt with Daniels just barely being to kick out in time.

And despite both Drake Jaeger and Tiberius Jones being at ringside for the latter half of this match for reasons unknown, neither Arata nor Brian seemed to care as they were much more focused on what they were doing than the presence of the other two men, which anyone can tell you is the sign of true experience in the ring.

But in the end, a Daniels dragon superplex attempt on Arata that was quickly reshifted into a belly to back superplex attempt quickly got turned around yet again as Arata in the end was able to hit his Golden Dragon onto the Architect and become the new Shogun champion!!

But things quickly went from celebratory to horrendous as both Jaeger and Jones quickly started to attack Daniels in a rather vicious manner before it was eventually broken up by Arata who showed why he is one of the true professionals in this promotion as did Daniels with what he did a few seconds later.

(The graphic then changes to a view of Daniels handing the Shogun Championship to Arata)

Ashley: You see one of the things that my father taught my older brother and I is that it takes a real champion to know when he is defeated by an opponent that has earned his respect is when they do the honorable thing such as when Brian Daniels handed the Shogun championship to Arata Asakura himself rather than letting then letting the ref do it.

Now Brian Daniels has shown not only me but the rest of the Wrestleworld community that he is a man of refinement and class by doing such an honorary act like this.

But having said that, let’s move onto the incredible card for Violent Delights, the first pay-per-view event of Wrestleworld!

(The match graphic shifts to the main poster for the event)

The Root of All Ashley Episode 4 _bM0iEckMIb8Z7qauWlfXbbDOUZ-bjcRbPLTvjkt_J6wIu_-8STP1r3om0EIXqU0CXH8F6La8uHFNTll-7LmNJssoJTGFbx7z_ts-cjkC4ZJHiKUujYxC9r1KUU8qan_z1Rxzth2

Ashley: From top to bottom, this will be an amazing card to say the least with the following matches on it.

(The entire screen suddenly shifts to show us a view of an empty room save for a wrestling ring decked out in the flair of Wrestleworld with a ladder standing tall and proud in the center of it before it silently shift to a shot of Tristan Killebrew looking standing on one of the turnbuckles looking out into the "crowds", then a close up shot of a very confident Christopher Sabertooth rubbing his hands together gleefully before it shifts to us seeing that he's eyeing the ladder, then it shifts to a view of Nobi sitting in a steel chair, gazing at the ring with a very thoughful expression, then it shifts to Jordan Ratterl sitting atop of that very same ladder with with his right hand outstretched before he closes the hand in question like he is grasping something, then it shifts one last time to Reno Dumont with a confident smile on his face as he slowly starts making his own way to the ring before the screen shifts to the match graphic for this match as the screen shifts back to Ashley)

Ashley: The first match is the number one contender's match for the American Dream championship and even though it hasn't been said, I am assuming that this match will be contested under Outlaw Rules which means anything goes and we could be seeing a very brutal and hard-fought match as Jordan Rattler, Tristan Killebrew, Nobi, Christopher Sabertooth, and Reno Dumont all via for the right to face off against Claudia Michaels, the former "Heart Break Gal" herself.

Considering the wide array of experience that all five men in this match have, I cannot put my finger on who could quite possibly come out the winner because it is too close to call from Tristan Killebrew's determination to redeem himself to Nobi desire to fight with honor and humality to even the downright savage experience that a veteran in Reno Dumont brings to this match... who can tell who will come out the victor.

(The screen then shifts to a series of shots featuring past matches of Jacob Senn and more recent matches involving Chloe Leuthard that eventually end up with the brutal attack on Senn last week by Chloe before the match graphic for their match is shown)

Ashley: In our next match we have the "Punisher" himself stepping into the world that the "Destroying Angel" wants to create for herself and everyone as Jacob Senn takes on Chloe Leuthard in a neutral rules match that is sure to be an epic war between these two wrestlers.

Senn, who is a proven commondity in this sport looks to put the Swiss Sadistic Siren in her place following her brutal attack on him over a week ago, but can the self proclaimed "Honey Badger" tear the throat out of the man who has dubbed himself the "Iconic One"?

I'm actually going to be placing my money on Chloe for this one because I think despite what he may think, I do believe that this just as much a mental war as a physical match and Chloe could already be firmly in the head of Senn.

(The screen then shifts again to show Crazy Violent in a fast-paced series of actions in a cell much like Harley Quinn was in the "Suicide Squad" movie before it cuts to a view of Stephanie Matsuda doing some heavy sparring with her more infamous student Jacob Striker, the "War Queen" being taking some heavier blows from Striker before being tossed to the ground and getting right back up again, before it cuts to a shot of Draoconis Balaur sitting on a very orante thrown of steel and skulls before he slowly gets up and moves to the center of a very rustic looking room and starts pummeling various men dressed plainly into various states of bloodied meat before it shifts to the match graphic)

Ashley: This is the triple threat match that puts Draconis Balaur against Stephanie Matsuda and Crazy Violet and it is guaranteed to be a very bloody affair as the imposing mauler that Balaur has proven himself to be looks to prove himself the superior fighter against the much more experienced Matsuda or the as equally unhinged Violet.

While this might be on for the record books in terms of brutality, you can be rest assured that this match won't be one to miss. As for me picking a winner here, I don't think there actually will be a winner... only a survivor.

(The screen then shifts to the moment in Chapter One where Brian Daniels lays out Tiberius Jones and the actual match where Jones almost destroys Daniels in before it cuts to the brutal attack by Jones and Jaeger after Daniels' loss to Arata Asakura that flows into the match graphic as various scenes of past matches between the two can be seen in the periphary of the main graphic)

Ashley: In an unsanctioned match is our four match on the card and it puts Brian Daniels against long-time foe Tiberius Jones with Drake Jaeger in his corner. Now, this was a brutal situation just waiting to happen when it was announced that both men would be apart of Wrestleworld, however, some were hoping for a slow build-up and not the combustial come together that happened instead.

This will be a very brutal match to say the least as the two architects looks to see who is the only deemed fit to survive by the rules of Fredrick Nietschze as while Daniels looks to right a wrong done to him years ago while Tiberius Jones simply wants to bury an unpleaseant moment of his past right where it belongs... in the dirt of the past.

(The screen then shifts to the recent series of events between two men, the stiff-upper-lip brawler in Harry Sterling and the silent monster Babayka that eventually bleeds into the match graphic for their match)

Ashley: Okay, what can I honestly say more about this match as the European championship is on the line as champion and Wrestleworld's resident boogieman, Babayka, takes on his biggest critic and most vocal opponent, Harry Sterling.

Will Sterling be able to defeat the vicious and voracious fiend or will this native of Walworth London be sent him in an itty bitty ditty bag?

My money is actually on Harry Sterling to win because he's shown me that he has the determination to win.

(The screen then shifts back to Ashley as she sits back with a wide smile on her face)

Ashley: Now with such an incredible card for Violent Delights, I think it’s time to look at who I think is the top five of each division, save for the tag straps which I’ll cover shortly. But let’s start at the top and work our way down.

(The graphic on the monitor shifts to that of the American Dream championship)

1. Jordan Rattler
2. Christopher Sabertooth
3. Reno Dumont
4. Tristin Killebrew
5. Nobi

Now the reason why I have Nobi as number five on this list is no slight against him in any shape, form, or function but these are my TOP five for each divions and Nobi has shown a lot of heart over the years but I have a feeling that eventually he'll realize that the time to be a nice guy will be over and at that point, his opponents will see why they should've treated him with more respect.

Jordan Rattler takes the first place spot because when I combined what I've seen of him elsewhere with what he did at this week's chapter, I seriously think that he could give people like Sabertooth and Dumont a real run for their money and at Violent Delights, that is exactly what we're going to see.

(The graphic changes to that of the European championship)

1. Harry Sterling
2. Nobi
3. Chloe Leuthard
4. Draconis Balaur
5. Scott Smith

Scott Smith is on this list because I think once he works past his ego problems, he'll make a great champion for Wrestleworld and he earned his spot here by his efforts during the ladder match during this chapter... so cheers?

Harry is at the top of this list because at present he is going into Violent Delights as the number one contender and he has downright refused to allow Babayka any way into his mind. Sorry good on ya, Harry, because this shows that you have the strength of determination to see the job get done.

(The graphic changes to that of the Shogun championship)

1. Reno Dumont
2. Christopher Sabertooth
3. Chad Kennedy
4. Nasir Moore
5. Stephanie Matsuda

Now I have Stephanie here because she practices a custom version of the Puroresu wrestling style that combines it with Luchalibre into a very solid and powerful striking style, but the question becomes can it stand up against someone who has spent years dedicating his or her life to the art of Japanese Strong Style... only time will tell.

Now that brings me to my first choice which is the complete opposite side of the spectrum in the form of Reno Dumont, a graduate of the Reaver's Dojo and a veteran of this sport. He is my top pick for the man to challenge for Arata's title because out of the entire Wrestleworld roster, Reno actually has the most experienced in the style connected to the Shogun championship. Hence it would be a natural fit.

And now we come to the fun one.

(The graphic changes to that of the Campeonatos de Parejas belts)

The Root of All Ashley Episode 4 VOC3tZ5CIPFcPQA3zkjGjZ38WEFpTpE_5hgTCoLuHNjjytJR-_xehAjGs7rKM23caP-7HwBOMcywC4YUTkncVr_VADAcqWT1ineL4GM8N_ptJm_aA9uCs6bAEReataTxt_GZQVk_

The Root of All Ashley Episode 4 VOC3tZ5CIPFcPQA3zkjGjZ38WEFpTpE_5hgTCoLuHNjjytJR-_xehAjGs7rKM23caP-7HwBOMcywC4YUTkncVr_VADAcqWT1ineL4GM8N_ptJm_aA9uCs6bAEReataTxt_GZQVk_

Now we really haven’t seen any true pairings appear yet in Wrestleworld, but it got me thinking on the flight back from the last chapter and I came up with my top four possibly very kick ass pairings and a possible name for them.

So please bear with me on this.

1. Jacob Senn and Chad Kennedy: The "Violence Party Incorporated"

You know once Chad gets over the fact that he's got Jacob Senn trying to teach him, I think that this would make a very effective tag team very quickly with Jacob's experience and Chad's skills in the ring.

2. Reno Dumont and Christopher Sabertooth: The "Dominion"

Okay, who *DOESN'T* look at these two and think that they couldn't make a killer tag team?! I mean seriously look at their match against each other at the last chapter and then think about what would happen if you put that perfect blending of violence and skill against any other pairing that could exist here in Wrestleworld!

Combine them and use a name that was once connected to one of the most dominant and decorated tag teams on the indy scene and you have got yourself some serious wrestlers to bank on.

3. Arata Asakura and Brian Daniels: "The Black Dragon Society"

After seeing how well they worked against each other at the third chapter, I can honestly see Arata being the cornerman for Brian at Violent Delights and that in turn leading to something much bigger down the road. This pairing is a personal favorite of mine that I would like to see happen.

4. Arata Asakura and Kanaida Sharpe: The "Red Lotus"

What would happen if you combined the calm and orderly skills of Arata Asakura with the disorderly and chaotic stylings of Kanaida Sharpe?

You get a little something that I like to call the "Red Lotus" and I think that this would make a much more effective and championship level pairing than anything else.

(The tag title graphic then disappears and the camera refocuses in on Ashley)

Ashley: Now that is a big array of things in the aftermath of such a turning point in the company’s existence leading into its first pay per view, and what an amazing third chapter it was…

Female Voice [O/C]: Yeah, too bad you didn’t want to cover the parts at the Wrestleworld Carnivel though, Ash.

Ashley:....who said that I didn’t?

Female Voice [O/C]: Well...girl, you didn’t.

Ashley: Just because *I* didn’t doesn’t mean that I didn’t ask someone else to.

Female Voice [O/C]: Wait, who’d you get then?

(Ashley simply smiles before the screen flickers and then darkens for a moment and Ashley is joined by none other than Celes Dumont!)

Ashley: Well I *DID* mention her, didn’t I?

(Celes, dressed in a sleeveless lavender dress with a gold belt and looking strangely normal for someone known as the “Death Dealer”, smiles at the camera)

The Root of All Ashley Episode 4 KqS3-MNR2-4j9ZlaMxFX-XDm6Mw4Z0wv6RBI2L_8kPKPchH4Xc_5ZKtWX_cx_4QlrLBUpPkVOaDXp35Sdj-15H1tqeofq-qWcJ5mzSV92RmdYnJDqxNDbnmmjz-khRkLkdVgD8aI

Celes: Well you know what they say about the devil and saying her name right?

Ashley: Too true. Since I was creeped out by the carnival bits, I thought that I would ask someone with experience in that area to cover it for me.

Celes: Why thank you, Ash.

Ashley: Well Celes, take it away!

(The camera then refocuses on the “Lady Gojira” who has a beaming smile on her face)

Celes: While I might be an outsider to Wrestleworld looking in, I have to say that the entire “Wrestleworld Carnival” part of chapter three was nothing short of glorious!

It combined the right amount of atmosphere and horror that made me have chills during that opening bit with the barker.

Ashley: The “Barker”?

Celes: You know, the guy who is always outside of the main entrance of a carnival, fair, or circus that is yelling and trying to get people’s attention to get them to come inside?

Ashley: [understanding slowly appearing on her face] Yeah?

Celes: That’s called a barker.

Ashley: Oh, been to a lot of those?

(Celes allows herself a moment to smirk and roll her eyes before continuing)

Celes: Now the opening part of this series of events that happens throughout chapter three of Wrestleworld has Harry approach a seemingly deserted carnival that suddenly lights up and comes roaring to life after a deafening silence that first greets the viewer.

Harry arrives here to find that while he hears the sounds of people enjoying themselves, he finds nothing but people dressed like Babayka milling about quietly-men, women, and even kids like this-and all seem to ignore his presence. But the sound is broken when one of the kids starts to attack and abandoned car with intensity which is then followed up by other kids doing the exact same thing.

Harry, however, isn't bothered by this and simply heads further in.

The next scene we have involving Harry sees him entering a building labeled the "Torture Chamber" and the camera can't show us anything because of how pitch black the building is until a display lights up and shows us Babayka brutally attacking a person with a hammer followed by another one of him doing another gruesome thing to a guy's eyes and so forth.

Ashley: How very Eli Roth of him.

Celes: I know right? I don't care for Eli Roth but the imagery was perfect for this bit. But however, Harry decides to point out that Babayka is proud of his sadistic nature and calls him on it only for this massive mural showing everything that Babayka has done in his career leading up to his time in Wrestleworld is shown.

(Celes acts like she's wiping a tear away)

Celes: I found it strangely beautiful.

(Ashley just kind of blinks in surprise at Celes)

Celes: Well can you blame me? I do own everything made by Vincent Price and Christopher Lee.

Ashley: ...fair.

Celes: Anywho, after the incredibly short match involving Jessica "Kanaida Sharpe has a crush on me" Rose, we find poor Harry walking through the woods of the carnival, guard up in case Babayka tries anything.

He eventually finds a cabin that is a horrendous mess inside of it with a TV and VCR being only non-trashed things in the entire place and that's when things start to get less Eli Roth and more Stephen King.

Ashley: ....

Celes: No seriously! Harry puts this first tape in and it's him entering the carnival, then he switches it out and it's one of someone recording him going through the Torture Chamber earlier with night vision on before he switches it again to something really fucking creepy.

Ashley: Please tell me it's not one of Harry in the cabin from like right behind him and when Harry turns around nobody's there despite what's being shown on the TV!?

(Celes stops and looks at her friend, a mirthful smile crossing her face)

Celes: CLOSE! This tape reveals a dark scene with someone breathing heavily as they start to move out from under something and when that happens, Harry looks closer as does the camera and we see it's his bedroom from when he was a kid...complete with someone looking at all of his childhood and family photos until the person looks in a mirror to reveal BABAYKA!!!

Ashley: eeeppp.

Celes: Ya, so naturally Harry gets all pissed off and swears to find him before the scene shifts back to the arena but eventually we go back to the carnival and boy is Harry pissed off, he is shouting for Babayka to show himself and he's threatening people to get what he wants.

But in this moment of utter and complete desperation and rage, he notices that a child is pointing at something as is everyone else which turns out to be the House of Mirrors which Harry then quickly storms too while swiping a metal baseball bat from one of the kids.

He enters the hall which leads to a really messed up game of cat and mouse where Babayka would appear, Harry would first run into the reflection of the fiend before Harry would destroy mirror after mirror until finally Babayka would get his hands on Harry and start to throttle the very life out of him.

But in the end, Doctor Erik Vance convinces his charge to leave some of Harry for him to face at Violent Delights before the scene finally fades out and ...SCENE!

All in all, to me it was one of the better parts of this entire chapter because it shows that Wrestleworld is willing to push certain aspects that some other companies out there refuse to touch on that I personally have encountered as an indy wrestler.

I meanwhile yes, some promotions like Vanguard Pro and World Wrestling Headquarters do have fantastical locations and whatnot, only Wrestleworld has that certain flair to present such a lovely bit of horror into the world of professional wrestling and for that, I am extremely grateful!

Ashley: You enjoyed that whole thing a little bit too much, didn’t you?

Celes: Well I do enjoy horror when it’s done right.

Ashley: Thank you for your help with this, Celes. When should we be seeing you in Heaven’s Arena?

(Celes’ face takes on a twisted smile)

Celes: I don’t think there is enough room for TWO monsters in Wrestleworld, Babayka is enough for them to handle right now.

(Celes then tosses her hair back slightly as she continues to smile as Ashley rolls her eyes and chuckles)

Ashley: Well that’s all the time that we have for this edition of the show. I want to thank my extra special guest Celes for her review of the continuing story of Harry Sterling and Babayka as well as my audio expert Sarah Bridges for her part in helping to improve this show.

The next beautifully violent chapter will be Wrestleworld presents Violent Delights and until then, I hope that you all enjoy the show and see why I think that Wrestleworld is the future of the indy wrestling scene! Have a good week everybody!!

(Ashley waves at the camera as the show’s theme comes back as the feed ends)

Voice: Ladies and Gentlemen, that was the Root of all Ashley, your weekly dose of her views of the world of professional wrestling, with your host-Ashley!!
