Hi Good Morning, I’m Sallie Graham, and this is the latest edition of EMERGExtra. Bringing you the latest news and happenings on the EMERGE brand.
 
First of all, it would be remiss of me to not talk about the one subject that has gotten everyone talking. I know the higher ups won’t like it, but let’s talk about the new owners of EMERGE. Now although a lot of credit needs to be given with regards to how secretive the whole thing was kept, once we had our answers there is no doubting the reasons why it was kept under wraps. Since the announcement was made, the outpouring of emotion has been obvious. Silas Mason and Aiken Frost were NOT the right people according to a large majority of EMERGE sources, and not only that, people have certainly take exception to Drew Bryant’s new attitude.
 
Now, it’s undoubtable, the financial future of the company is secure. But at what cost? Silas is well known for just thinking about the morning, and no person alive knows what Aiken is thinking. But with them holding a joint percentage of 50%, is Drew even in control anymore, and is this partnership going to prove his downfall? Fact is, no one knows what is going on behind the scenes, but if what is going on in the ring is any indication, the future of EMERGE is a lot less secure then when it was under the SCW umbrella. And the fact that those that were campaigning for the change have now changed their minds says an awful lot in my opinion. Maybe we are worrying about nothing, but with Season 2 coming to a close, is Season 3 going to be more of the same as what we have seen recently? I certainly hope not.
 
Now, I might not have liked the guy, but there is a lot of concern right now regarding the whereabouts of Dexter Schmidt, who was last seen being carried away by Sundown at the end of Invasion. Nothing has been heard from him since, and if the rumor mill is to be believed, the police are involved and are currently investigating. Now, I know a lot of people will be quick to point the finger at Cindy Todd, or indeed Sundown, but from my interview with her last month, I honestly cannot believe that either would go so far as to be involved in this. In fact, it’s more than likely Dexter is just holed up somewhere licking his wounds, embarrassed to show his face. Needless to say, a lot of people are keeping a close eye on this, and I’m sure we will hear more in the coming days.
 
Another interesting thing I found out over the past few days, is regarding to Season 3, and the future (if we have one) of EMERGE. Now, as revealed by Drew in my interview with him, Drew was looking into the possibility of firstly, bringing the UWA name back, and resurrecting the brand, but was also in talks with the current owners of the Uprising Network Arena in Winchester. The camera was cut before Aiken and Silas’s thoughts were heard, so I thought I would do a little digging into the current situation. First of all, the lease with SCW for the current EMERGE arena has yet to be renewed, which points to the company definitely moving. However, all records show that ownership of the Uprising Network Arena has not been transferred as yet. Of course, there is plenty of time yet, but after the comments of at least two of the Coalition, is this still going to happen and has Drew’s first major decision been overruled? 
 
Another interesting development is regarding the Unforgiven, and what seemed like a throwaway comments on Social Media, but which could hold some substance. As you will be aware, Frankie Paradise was supposed to be fighting Sundown on the next EMERGE, a match that Benjamin Flynn, the new GM swiftly cancelled. Within minutes however, a new match was made to take place at EMERGE #30, Frankie now facing Cindy Todd. A match we are being led to believe was made by the Roster Liason, at the request of the Coalition. Does this mean that Unforgiven does actually have ‘friends in high places’ and is the Coalition actually allowing them to bully the roster in this way? Could this even be Cindy Todd’s grand design? And is Aiken Frost and Silas Mason not as ‘accidental’ as it might seem. Let’s put it this way, I have a very good source that tells me that there was an even bigger offer from another party that was ignored by Drew Bryant in favor of Silas and Aiken. Perhaps this was the plan all along?
 
Tommy Wasley certainly seems to think so, and he more than anyone else has drawn a line in the sand, and took a stand. In a very brave move, he has been letting anyone that will listen know that enough is enough, and he won’t let the Unforgiven get away with this. Will he get the backing his needs, because he can’t do it alone? I’m hearing that a fair few of the roster are pinning their colors to the mast, and the ‘Resistance’ will become a lot clearer on the next EMERGE. Let’s put it this way, six months ago would you have pegged Tommy has a hero? I think not. I think a few surprising people are going to stand up against Unforgiven and The Coalition, to give this company hope.
 
One such person that will be front and center is Danny Darko, who made a statement by returning at Invasion, and putting Jason King out of commission for the foreseeable future. Now, although I don’t condone Danny’s actions, I do understand them after what happened to his wife. King’s condition at the moment hasn’t been released, other than there is no date for his EMERGE return. Should Danny Darko really be poking Willow Wilkes with a stick by injuring her husband? Fact is, I’m not sure Danny cares less, and it will be interesting to see how this all pans out.
 
Looking towards the end of the year, it was announced that four teams of three would compete for the right to challenge Willow Wilkes for the EMERGE Championship, but not in any old situation. No, we were going to witness the return of the Pyramid, one of the most stand out matches of the old UWA. To those that are unaware, this match consists of One pyramid, four parts… the aim of the match to climb through each section and reach the top where the title belt will be hanging. Each section having a trapdoor which must be opened for anyone to advance. Personally, I can’t wait to see who will compete, but Willow Wilkes certainly didn’t seem concerned when the match was announced. That match takes place on EMERGE #31 which is now the final Invasion of the year.
 
That’s because it was also announced that the final show of the year will now be the Ricky Octavius Memorial, where 32 competitors will compete for the grand prize of $250000. Many wrestlers have already been confirmed for that match, including most of the EMERGE roster, as well as AJ Helms, Peyton Rice and Alistair Taylor. Also rumored to be competing is Christian Cannon, who if true will compete in his first professional match at that event, as well as Owen Cruze. Signups are still ongoing, so the field could change, but regardless that promises to be an amazing, yet emotional event. Bit of further news on that, the first two rounds will take place on a preshow, hosted by me, ahead of the main event itself. The round of eight, four and the finals will then make up the penultimate show of the year.
 
Penultimate, because the final show, to take place on the 16th of December, will be the very first EMERGE awards ceremony, which will be held in the EMERGE arena on that date, hosted by none other than our announce team, Grace Morningwood and Mitch Sanders. No news on what those awards will be as yet, but an announcement is expected on EMERGE #30
 
Over the past few months, the tag team division has been regarded as potentially a weak link, with really only three teams competing for a belt that was once held in the highest regards. There is no doubt that Moustache Ride becoming the champions has regenerated the buzz with the fans, but what about everyone else? Well, although it was rumored that Tombstone were about to be released, that has been dismissed as untrue. The Newmans have been pacified by finally getting their shot at EMERGE #29, and I’m being told that Invasion: Munich, it has already been announced that Moustache Ride, The Newmans, and Tombstone will face off in a Tornado Tag Match, within the confines of a steel cage, the first person from any team to escape the cage, OVER THE TOP, no door to escape from in this one, becoming or retaining the tag team championships, no pins, no submissions and no DQ. Steel Cage and the Pyramid in one show… that’s right people. Finally with regards to the tag team division, there are at least FOUR tag teams about to enter the fray, none of them confirmed as yet except the Violent Gentlemen Prestige who WILL return at the end of October.
 
But of course, no roster can survive without it’s injection of fresh faces, and just recently, EMERGE has been blessed with the appearance of some pretty special talents. First of all Jake Shelley has arrived, and is already a lot of noise against Unforgiven. Sierra Swann, sister of Sienna has arrived and if she has half the ability of her sister, could make quite an impact. Aubrianna Powers has arrived with already a massive reputation, and could be one to watch for the future, especially as she has been teamed with Jennifer Helms and Kali, and finally… as mentioned earlier, Danny Darko has signed, and if he can find anything like his former self, he would be quite an addition to the roster. Yes, a lot of people might be getting on his case of late, but are these signings, and the shows EMERGE is putting up justification that Drew was right?
 
On that bombshell, that’s it from me. Make sure you tune in to EMERGE #29 and see which two teams advance through, one step closer to the Pyramid, and who leaves as the tag team champions. 

Yes, in LOA is in order here.

I have done a lot of thinking the past couple days, thinking while trying to get work done. The problem is that I have come to realize that while I can say that I will be fine when this class has ended, I really don't know if that is the case, because I never know what my next classes are going to require me to do. So, I have this situation where I love this game, I love the people I play it with, but I just don't know how much longer I can hold on this way, and when I say can I really ought to say should. Because if Olek keeps finding ways to get me onto cards and I literally dont have the time to participate, that means he is wasting his time then, and Olek doesn’t have any time at all, let alone time to waste. It is a problem, and there is a big chance that it is a problem that is going to get worse, not better. So, that is where I am at, unfortunately

I keep thinking to myself, I just have to find a way to balance all of it, and it will be alright.

But right now, there is no balance. I am working 14-16 hours a day to get my assignments done for school, because I can only type half as fast as other students. That's not making excuses, that is a fact right now. I wish I would have put this much energy into the game before the stroke, because I can tell you right now, it is there, all of it. I have so many ideas, for Kelsai, for Kellen, for Gracie, for new characters no one has heard of yet. I wish I wasn't so damn lazy before the stroke.  Because now I have so much to contribute to the game, I just don't have the time. I wish I did. At the end of the day though, this is a game, a beautiful, wonderful game. School is my LIFE, and it has to come first. There is no alternative there.

I’m taking a LOA, effective immediately and it will run until November 18th. That gives me 8 weeks to try and figure out things going forward. If I need to be out longer, I will let everyone know then. Thank you.

Tag Team Name: Las Bandidas de Gata Negra (english translation: The Black Cat Bandits)

Members: Valeria Garcia and Maria Vencejo

Combined Weight: 240 lbs.

Alignment: Tweener (lean more towards heel though)

Theme Song: Nada Como Tú by WarCry

Entrance: The lights dim a bit as Nada Como Tú begins to play, a bit of fog slowly beginning to form on the stage as golden orange lights pulse in rhythm with the guitars. Slowly, we see a figure crawling through it, almost like a cat trying to remain hidden before it pounces on its prey. When the main beat of the song kicks in, the figure picks up the pace until she reaches the end of the stage, crouching as she's far enough away from the fog to reveal herself to be Maria Vencejo. Not too far behind her is  Valeria Garcia,  her eyes slowly roaming over the fans with a cold, emotionless look. She looks down at Maria and a smile actually forms on her lips as she reaches down and helps her partner to a stand as the lyrics begin. The two of them begin making their way down to the ring, Maria staying ahead of Valeria and moving quicker as though she were energized by the song while Valeria maintains her slow, calculating approach. Maria slides into the ring before rolling into a kip-up, and Valeria slides in right behind her, pausing as she and Maria smile at one another before Maria helps her partner to her feet before twisting her around so the two are both facing the same way, Valeria in front of Maria. The two slowly back into their corner like this before separating to discuss strategy.

Primary Finisher: Cama de Gata (english translation: Cat's Cradle)

Finisher Description: Garra de Gata (Maria)/Backstabber (Valeria) combination

Secondary Finisher: Momento Cumbre (english translation: Peak Moment)

Finisher Description: *Spinning Legsweep (Valeria)/Spinning Heel Kick (Maria) combination

*While this might seem like Valeria (Ruby) utilizing a late shot of sorts at the Truelove Twins and their Twin Killing finisher or even Zero Fucks To Give and their Wedded Bliss finisher (itself a shot at the Trueloves) in her and Maria's tandem offense (and commentators are free to point out such a possibility if they want), this is actually more of an homage to the Red Empire's Crowning Moment finisher (the name is even a close translation in spanish) except using the more traditional high and low attack as opposed to the Red Empire's variation that had Scarlet using a big boot instead of a spinning heel kick. The reason this is a secondary team finisher is out of respect for Scarlet and the memory of the Red Empire, so it won't see as much use in a match as the Cama de Gata might, though it can still come from out of nowhere to end a match if need be.

Signature Moves: Crimson Sunset, Fatal Landing, Emboscada (english translation: Ambush), Puente Chiapas (english translation: Chiapas Bridge)

Signature Moves Descriptions (If Needed): Valeria slingshots herself over the top rope to attempt a sunset flip powerbomb to an opponent off the apron and Maria dropkicks them to knock them off an into the powerbomb onto the floor, Belly-to-Back Suplex (Valeria)/Diving Leg Drop (Maria) combination, Ladrón en la Noche (Maria)/Sliding Forearm Smash to the back of the head (Valeria) combination, Maria holds an opponent in an inverted facelock as though she were planning to deliver the Mala Suerte but instead Valeria leaps from the top rope and drives the bending opponent into the mat with the Ruby Slippers

Biography: Maria Vencejo is a new addition to the SCW roster, presumably due to her connection with  Valeria Garcia, who herself is a mystery to fans due to the fact that prior to an old ankle injury plaguing her once again in the wake of Rise to Greatness 2019, she was competing as Ruby Amarant and one half of the Red Empire. No one knows why she's returned with a new name and appearance as well as a brand new partner, but one thing's for sure: Valeria and Maria fully trust and understand one another to a degree that even seems to exceed that of the Red Empire, and between Valeria's intelligence and experience and Maria's blinding speed on top of her own “street smarts” the tandem known as the Bandidas de Gata Negra may prove to be far more formidable than the Red Empire used to be.

PERSONAL INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestler's Alias: Maria Vencejo
Wrestler's Real Name: Maria Vencejo
Pic Base: Silueta
Height: 5 ft 4 in
Weight: 115 lbs.
Birthdate: 8/13/1997
Birth Place: Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico
Current Residence: Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico

Physical Description: Maria has red hair that goes down to her shoulders and brown eyes, though when she's seen on camera her real eyes will always be hidden behind colored contacts that make her sclera yellow and her pupils black vertical slits like a cat's. Her assets aren't really noteworthy in the size department, but they're still pretty noticeable on her lean, toned figure. She wrestles in a black latex catsuit that helps accentuate her figure quite a bit and black boots. She also has black leather gloves with razor-sharp golden nails attached to the ends, but she doesn't wear these while competing for obvious reasons, though it does make for an effective weapon if necessary.


WRESTLING INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------
Wrestling Style: Mix of high-flying, speed, striking and cheating
Alignment (Face/Tweener/Heel): Tweener (leans more towards heel though)
Years Pro: 0
Finishers: Garra de Gata (english translation: Cat's Claw), Mala Suerte (english translation: Bad Luck)
Finishers Descriptions (If Needed): Clawhold STO, Inverted Facelock spun out into a DDT
Signature Moves: La Trampa (english translation: The Trap), Salto de Fe (english translation: Leap of Faith), Ladrón en la Noche (english translation: Thief in the Night)
Signature Moves Descriptions (If Needed): Arm Trap Somersault Cradle, Imploding 450 Splash, Shining Wizard
Theme Song: Tesoro by Héroes del Silencio

Common Moves: Dropkick, Slingshot Elbow Drop, Spinning Heel Kick, Forearm Strikes, Enzuigiri, Diving Crossbody, Springboard Tornado DDT, Missile Dropkick, Cartwheel Over the Top Rope Suicide Corkscrew Moonsault, Hurricanrana, Springboard Clothesline, Springboard Kick, Basement Dropkick to the knees followed by bouncing off the ropes and hitting a Dropkick to the side of the head, Any blatant cheating tactic she can get away with in a match

Strengths:
Maria is incredibly fast and agile, having been compared to a cat in a human's body before. She's near impossible to corner or catch when she gets moving, and this allows her to pick people apart with lightning fast strikes and an aerial attack that's difficult to counter when she's prone to quickly turning any situation into a parkour exercise that turns the tide in her favor.

Weaknesses:
Despite the incredible stamina befitting someone as quick as her and a build that makes her seem like a perfect aerial athlete, Maria is not as durable as most wrestlers. She's become so good at being able to dodge and avoid punishment that when she does get caught, it's easy to break her down and allow the wear and tear wrestlers endure every day to quickly overwhelm her. This is much easier to hide and mitigate in tag matches where she can rely on Valeria (or whoever's teaming with her) to take over while she recovers or multi-person matches where she can lurk outside the ring and wait for her opportunity, but one on one or being isolated from her partner means this can definitely come into play and work against her.

Entrance: The lights dim a bit as Tesoro begins to play, a bit of fog slowly beginning to form on the stage. Slowly, we see a figure crawling through it, almost like a cat trying to remain hidden before it pounces on its prey. When the vocals pick up a bit, she slowly rises to a stand and gazes out at the crowd with a grin, revealing herself to be Maria Vencejo. She starts walking down the ramp, her eyes moving along with crowd but there's no further interaction with them. When she reaches ringside she pauses for a moment to examine the golden nails on her gloves before she suddenly bolts forward, sliding into the ring before rolling into a kip-up. She backs into her corner and slowly removes her gloves before the referee even has to say anything about them, but the look in her eyes makes it clear she's contemplating how they may be useful pending how the match plays out.

Biography: Not much is known about Maria Vencejo, but there are a lot of rumors. The primary one among them is that she is a notorious cat burglar whose always up for a challenge and down for robbing those with the most money and/or power. Naturally, no one is truly able to confirm this, and it's just as widely believed these stories were fabricated by those who have some sort of issue with her, perhaps because of other rumors insisting that she has some ties to various Mexican drug cartels. Perhaps the only thing that can be confirmed 100% factual about her is that she has some sort of connection to Valeria Garcia, the woman most SCW fans have come to know as Ruby Amarant, that seems to predate even Ruby's partnership with Scarlet Grey. This connection has managed to land her an SCW contract now, but what happens from there and what is or isn't true about her all remains to be seen.

Biography: As you can imagine by the look of him, Kai Morris was not a happy child. Bullied and treated like an outcast, it was a conversation with his Head Teacher that led him to fight back. Unfortunately, this revenge resulted in a child being stabbed in the chest with a fountain pen, for which Jester was immediately expelled. Several more expulsions followed as Kai was taken from his parents and placed in a care home, only leaving when he came of adult age. It was then that he met Gloria, a woman who like him had been shunned by society, and then fell in love. Kai had by now become aware of his need for violence, and thankfully Gloria shared the same philosophy on life, if you don’t have it, you take it. And it was that philosophy that led them to the doors of the MCW, and Jester Funn was born. Jester remained undefeated during that time, until unfortunately the company closed its doors, and Jester and Gloria disappeared until reappearing in C:NG. Whilst there however, we were introduced to Thamuz, Jester’s alter ego who is more destructive and evil. After that company went under, Jester disappeared again until now though, they have returned, to the doors of the EMERGE…the Funn, has just begun.
