Unlimited 101 // 01.07.20

The Zillion Dollar Theater in Los Angeles, California is a packed house with nearly 2000 in attendance for the debut episode of SCW Unlimited. The fans in attendance do not know what to expect, as this theater is not your typical bingo hall or expo center. Built in 1917, what is now known as the Zillion Dollar Theater had been home to some of the greatest performers in history until 2004. It sat empty for a number of years before wealthy oil tycoon turned entertainment mogul Tex Zillionaire purchased the building in 2018. Over the next year, the building was renovated and converted into a professional wrestling venue, to be used exclusively by Showtime Championship Wrestling, an organization he is the primary financier of.

The premier episode of SCW Unlimited kicks off as the curtain raises up as "SHOWTIME!" by Z Mann Zilla fills the air in this historic venue. Standing in the middle of the ring is SCW's in-ring announcer Julia Richards. When the music dies down, she welcomes everyone to SCW Unlimited before introducing Rich Zillionaire, Tex's grandson and also the General Manager of SCW. He tells the fans they are part of history tonight for this groundbreaking event, being aired exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. He announces there will be five events on tonight's show, starting with the Inaugural New Year's Wrestlution Battle Royal. The winner of that match will receive a first round bye in the SCW World Championship Tournament that begins TONIGHT on Unlimited! He then takes the opportunity to unveil the brand new championship for the first time.


Backstory: It would be exhausting to give you the backstory of each of these performers right now. Their stories will be told in the weeks to come as time allows. All you need to know for now is that these fifteen stars are officially signed to SCW... and the winner of this match gets a first round bye in the SCW World Championship Tournament!

Match: Once all fifteen stars have entered the ring and the bell sounds, Johnny B. Cool takes to the middle of the ring to try to be friends with everyone. He tells them that they are ALL winners tonight, and everyone should just... be cool. His pep talk is interrupted by a running boot from Akoni Van Dam, who then pulls him up in his arms like a baby and tosses him over the top rope, causing the first elimination. When Akoni turns around, Marty Kidd comes off the top rope with a cross body... only for Akoni to catch him and toss him over the top rope as well. A massive brawl ensures amongst the remaining thirteen stars.

The League of Extraordinary Wrestling Dudes [Gotch and Legend] go after #TWINNING [Carlee and Rilee], using their size advantage against the fraternal twin sisters. A jawbreaker to Gotch sets him aside, and the sisters double dropkick Legend's knees. With Gotch on the ropes, they team up to clothesline him to the outside. Their celebration is short lived as Legend seeks revenge by pummeling Carlee and eliminating her from the match. Before he can go after Rilee, Jack and Jill and Sparkles come to her rescue.

Elsewhere, Parka and Sombra are fighting with OutbreaK and AVD. OutbreaK gets rocked with duel superkicks. Sombra lines up for another, and OutbreaK moves aside… causing Parka to eat the boot. AVD follows up by eliminating Parka. As Sombra goes to the ropes to apologize to Parka, AVD dumps him over the top rope as well. Back to the other group now… and Rilee has been eliminated by Legend. Wild Thing is relentlessly lighting up OutbreaK, who then grabs Wild Thing by the throat and tosses him over the top rope like he's nothing.

When OutbreaK turns around, he sees old rival AVD. The two engage in fisticuffs. They are evenly matched until OutbreaK rocks AVD with a thunderous headbutt that backs him to the ropes. OutbreaK comes charging in and clotheslines AVD over the top rope. Legend pats OutbreaK on the shoulder and signals for a high five. OutbreaK doesn't have time to blink before headbutting Legend and sending out of the match. OutbreaK lets out a roar before he is blindsided by a top rope missile dropkick from Jack Malone, followed by a diving knee strike from Jill Malone. The two unleash a flurry of combination strikes, sending the big man to the ropes. Jack and Jill work together to lift his legs off the mat. Jill then lets go and gets a running start before leaping and connecting with a dropkick to his cinder block of a head, eliminating the goliath from the match.

Elsewhere, Alexa Skye has hit Sparkles with a seX-Factor in the middle of the ring. After OutbreaK is eliminated, she sneaks up and low blows Jack, then grabs him by the neck and trunks, sending him over the top rope. She turns around and meets face to face with Jill. After a brief shouting match, Jill and Alexa engage in their own bout of fisticuffs. They struggle back and forth on the ropes, until Alexa gets the upper hand by gouging Jill's eyes. She turns Jill around and chokes her with the top rope, then hoists her up and sends her over the top rope… just as Sparkles sneaks up from behind and sends Alexa over the top.

Both Alexa and Jill surprisingly land on the apron. They start to get up, and are both met with a dropkick from Sparkles… sending them out of the ring for good, making Sparkles the winner of the Inaugural New Year's Wrestlution Battle Royal. This huge win gives her a bye in the SCW World Championship Tournament.

    1. Johnny B. Cool by Akoni Van Dam

The large screen behind the SCW ring shows the fans a glimpse of the backstage area, where Chris and Ricky Schorg are standing by with backstage correspondent Jane Kincaid. They had asked for some air time to introduce themselves to the world, and proclaimed that they were "Main Event Bros doing main event things." Jane received word during the battle royal that tonight's main event would be an eight person tag team match, and that there partners were...

Gust and Pettis - two legendary performers - join the twin brothers on set. Sara goes on about how incredible it is to be able to team up with her little brothers on the very first episode of SCW Unlimited. Nathan remains speechless, as he stares over the shoulders of the brothers... at a grizzly looking man eavesdropping on their conversation...

He walks onto the set as the brothers move over by Nathan and Sara, and he tells them that their match tonight will be their first and last appearance at SCW because he and his Deathmachines will break every bone in their bodies. Before he can even finish his threats, Nathan bursts forward and attacks Apokalypse. The two brawl around while security rushes over to separate the two, as we head back to the ringside area for the first round of the SCW World Championship Tournament.


Backstory: Jason Christopher started training in 2001 at the age of 16, under the guidance of Aj Nin Red Rum. He spent three years wrestling on the East Coast before getting the opportunity to travel to Japan in fall 2004. That was the first of several excursions there before he officially moved to Tokyo in 2007. Since then, he has been a mainstay at Rising Sun Pro Wrestling and WRESTLEGATE. When SCW was being formed, he was one of the first wrestlers contacted. His deal with SCW allows him to split his time between Los Angeles and Tokyo when needed for a tour there.

Brice McQueen, on the other hand, is a bit of a wrestling phenomenon in his own right. He signed his SCW contract two days before Christmas, on his 70th birthday. He made his wrestling debut in 1973 in his hometown of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He spent the next forty something years traveling the globe before settling down in Santa Monica by his son and grandchildren. His primary job with SCW is as a coach, but he is always willing to lace up his boots to stretch some young punk into submission.

Match: This quickly became more of a showcase of Jason Christopher, and less of a competitive match for Brice McQueen. JC out wrestles the much older McQueen for half of the match before McQueen distracts the referee and clocks JC with brass knuckles. JC falls through the ropes, so McQueen is unable to capitalize. As JC beats the ten count, McQueen again tries to use the brass knuckles, but the referee catches him in the act and confiscated the weapon. He argues with the ref long enough for JC to recover and annihilate McQueen with a series of suplexes, ending with a stalling bridging German Suplex for the three count, thus sending him to the next round of the SCW World Championship Tournament.

Backstory: Team MACKAID was at one time one of the hottest tag teams in the world. That time was between 2004 and 2010. While it's been a decade since they were at the top of their game, they are still able to get the band back together at a moment's notice. Such is the case with SCW. Along with his wife Jane, Nick was crucial in putting together nearly all of the SCW contracts, so of course he did everything in his power to get Team MACKAID the first spot on the tag team roster. Their opponents tonight... Dos Villanos... Doom and Legion. Little is known about these two individuals, other than they are troublemakers.

Match: This match starts out hot and heavy with Mack Davidson willingly taking on both Legion and Doom by himself, after asking to stand back and watch. Mack stops abruptly and puts his nose in the air, catching the aroma of the concessions. He quickly tags in Nick, and leaves the ring in search of food. Nick comes in and gets jumped by Legion and Doom. They spend three minutes performing a decent series of tag team maneuvers before they ascend the turnbuckles on opposite corners of the ring.

They both signal for the end and fly off with tandem diving headbutts on their minds. Nick kips up just in time to evade the attack and both opponents crash hard on the mat. Nick watches as Legion and Doom get up, one by one running at him. He side steps and Legion goes crashing into the corner, then catches Doom with a belly to belly suplex… sending him crashing into Legion. Nick looks over and sees Mack back on the apron, with a plate of nachos. Nick laughs and tags in Mack, who hands over his nachos for safe keeping.

With both Legion and Doom up in the corner, Mark charges in and flattens them both with a splash. Doom stumbles out and falls in the middle of the ring, rolling onto his back. Mack pulls Legion out, effortlessly picks him up in a gorilla press… and drops him on top of Doom. Both villains lie on the mat in agony as Mack hits the ropes and splashes them in the middle of the ring... for the first three count of SCW's tag team division. The bell sounds and Nick comes in, handing the nachos over to Mack as the two celebrate their victory.


Backstory: The journey that both Reyes and Lukas took to get to SCW was similar. Reyes was born in San Diego in 1982 to Mexican immigrants. Lukas was born in Eureka City in 1982 to Canadian immigrants. Together, they were trained by Nathan Gust in 2002. They were roommates for several years, while both traveling the country perfecting their craft. Fast forward to the creation of SCW when - of course - they were contacted to be part of Unlimited 101. The first question they asked... was if each other were going to be part of this extravaganza. It was only right that their first match here in SCW was against one another.

Match: Despite their differences in size, this match starts out fast paced with a series of reversals and counters until both men are in fighting stances across from one another. They both smile and slap hands, then lock up and continue to show the people of Los Angeles what happens when two top guys do top guy things. The action spills to the outside toward the crowd, where Jaime falls off the stage. Norm takes this opportunity to risk it all by sliding into the ring, hitting the opposite ropes... and using all of his momentum to suicide dive between the ropes and over the stage... colliding with Jaime. The fans go wild for that death defying maneuver.

Referee John Doe follows the two out and reminds them they should get back into the ring, but does not start the obligatory ten count. Instead he lets the match continue as is, as both men pull themselves up and continue their match on the floor closer to the fans. Norm ducks a clothesline and connects with a pele kick, which rocks Jaime enough to have him stumble back to the stage. Norm runs at him, and he pops him up onto the stage. Jaime blocks a kick from Norm by grabbing his foot, then swings his leg so Norm lands face first on the stage. Jaime takes a few steps back and then connects with a running boot.

Jaime climbs up onto the stage and pulls Norm up, then rolls him back into the ring. Jaime takes his time getting back into the ring, as he gets distracted for a few moments by the fan cheering for him. When he enters, Norm is back to his feet and hits a spinning kick to Jaime's gut. Norm hits the ropes and connects with a diving knee strike. Jaime falls to the mat. He rolls over and sits up, groggy... and Norm connects with a superkick. Norm then points to the top rope and he ascends the ropes in the corner. He stands up and dives off with a double stomp in mind... but Jaime rolls out of the way.

Norm rolls through and gets up, turning round toward Jaime. He charges at Jaime, who catches him with a backflipping belly to belly slam. Jaime covers him and gets the inevitable three count. The fans go wild as Jaime is declared the winner, thus advancing into the next round of the SCW World Championship Tournament. Norm slowly gets to his feet and he gives Jaime a nod before leaving the ring.


Backstory: Too much history between these men and women, except for The Raging Dead. This is certainly NOT the same Raging Dead we have seen compete for Trinity, Action, Alpha Pro or FWF in recent months.

Match: The first main event in Showtime Championship Wrestling history starts off with pure chaos. The Faction makes their way to the ring first to thundrous applause, and then the lights go out. Lots of crashing and banging is heard. When the lights come back on, the Deathmachines are already out and are tearing apart The Faction. They brutalize The Faction all over the ring, and the chaos soon spills to the outside. Referee Andy Koy calls for backup, and his little brother Dave comes out. Sara and Nathan fight with Genocide and Deathstar, while Chris and Ricky fight with Apok and Dead. The former group fights around ringside while the latter group fights away from the stage.

It doesn't take long before Deathstar back body drops Nathan off of the stage, and they focus their attention on Sara. Despite her best efforts to fight them both off, their combined power is too much for her to withstand. Elsewhere, Apok attempts to powerbomb Chris into the crowd but Ricky pulls his brother back down. Ricky hits Apok with a ripcord knee strike, which takes the big man down long enough for the brothers to do a cool tag team move. Chris and Ricky hit Raging Dead with a double hip toss followed by a double back handspring into a double dropkick to her face. The twins head back onto the stage.

Genocide and Deathstar stalk Ricky and Chris back into the ring. Genocide takes Chris out with a Canadian Destroyer. Deathstar takes out Ricky with a buckle bomb. The two bad dudes think they're on top of the world… until Genocide turns into a flying knee strike from Sara… and Deathstar eats a one knee codebreaker from Nathan. He goes to pin Deathstar, but he rolls out of the ring… and Nathan follows. Sara gets the crowd going as she waits for Genocide to stand up. He turns around, takes a kick to the gut… and then an Ice Pick Piledriver from Sara. Before she can go for a pin, she takes a clubbing strike to the back of the neck from Apokalypse.

Apok looks around at the devastation, and drags Sara up. "Good-bye, little sister." He sets her up and delivers a running sitout powerbomb. He keeps her hooked for a pin… and it is broken up by Gust, who avenges his wife with vicious strikes to Apok. He pulls Apok up and plants him with a double underhook impaler dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane. Before he can go for a pin, Raging Dead shoots in and delivers an evenflow piledriver outta nowhere. She goes for a pin and nearly has him beaten before he kicks out.

She goes ballistic and turns around into a double superkick from Chris and Ricky. Ricky scoops Raging Dead upside down as Chris goes outside the ropes. He hits a springboard somersault, and they destroy her with a spike kneeling reverse piledriver… that they call the Ozone Death Drop. They cover her in the middle of the ring for the one… two… three! The Faction is declared winners… and Apok drag


With the Faction together in the ring, Nathan calls for a microphone. Julia Richards hands him one as their music dies down.

    "Wow. What a night, huh? Tonight was just a taste… just a sample of what's to come. See, my family… we've tossed around the     dinner table a full fledged federation unlike anything the world has ever seen. It took years of talking about it before we were able     to pull the trigger… thanks to the financial support of Tex Zillionaire. Without him, this event would have taken place in front of a     tenth of this crowd back home in Ozone Park, New York… and it would be straight-to-DVD instead of airing on Amazon Prime     Video."

    "Over the coming months… you will bare witness to the very best World Championship Tournament in history… period. Sparkles,     Jaime Reyes and Jason Christopher have already advanced to the next round. The entire match listing for Unlimited 102 will go     live later tonight. Am I wrestling next week? I don't remember. My head is a little… not here… right now. Anyway, thank all for     coming out tonight… and thanks to everyone for watching at home. Stay tuned to Showtime-Wrestling.com for more updates…     and follow us on the Twitter… or at the Twitter? I don't know how to say it. @showtimechamp20 is the place. Give us a like or     follow. I think I'll leave the speeches to Sara from now on. Good night, Los Angeles."

The show ends as The Faction raise their arms together in the middle of the ring.
