sVo Against All Odds
Goodfellas Casino Arena
Sunday 7th March 2021
The sVo logo fades on and then off of a black screen before ‘Venom’ by Eminem hits and the opening video package for ‘Against All Odds’ begins to play, featuring classic action with highlights from the likes of Psyko Stevo, Bobby Dean, Anthony Moretti, Roscoe Shame, William Vorheez, Nathan Paradine, JVD & Night.
As the package begins to come to an end, the live camera shows a shot of the outside of the Goodfellas Casino, sitting on the heart of the Las Vegas strip before heading inside and panning around the sold-out Goodfellas Casino Arena inside. Fireworks begin to shoot up from the top of the entrance ramp as fans jump out at the camera trying to get their face on TV as the atmosphere for tonight’s show continues to build, with the music playing over the arena’s sound system.
The camera swings around to see the commentary team of Julian Fiasco & Jeremiah Sloan sitting at ringside, before turning to show the giant screen at the top of the entrance ramp as some of the matchups for tonight’s show are shown. The fans cheer for their favourite and boo for the villains as the matchups for tonight are run down, ending with the main event which will see Gunner Lang take on Hiro Ryuu with the chance to fight for the Las Vegas Championship at the Countdown to Violence PPV on the line!

Second Chance
The cameras head backstage to the parking lot area under the Goodfellas Casino Arena where CJ Dreamer is arriving for tonight’s event! The fans cheer upon the sight of Dreamer on the giant screen, but there is a man waiting for Dreamer at the entrance to the arena, and that man is Orlando Fox.
Orlando Fox: “Cutting it fine my man, the show has already begun!”
Dreamer scowls at Fox, still remembering the events of the last episode of Against All Odds where Fox cost the pair the Tag Team match against Scott Washington and Yoshi Ono. Dreamer continues walking, not acknowledging Fox’s presence.
Orlando Fox: “Don’t be like that bro. I know last time out it didn’t go well, but I have another tag team match lined up for us tonight!”
The words of Fox stop Dreamer in his tracks, as he spins and looks at Fox as if he has just said the most offensive thing in the world.
CJ Dreamer: “You really think I am going to team up with you again? Last time out you cost me my chance at revenge over Washington, now I need to work my way up to facing that bastard!”
Fox tries to slow down Dreamer down and explain to him.
Orlando Fox: “Wait, wait. I have spoke to Page already and we have the chance to take on two of Page’s boys. The winners will be involved in a match with Washington & Ono at the PPV in two weeks! It’s another chance of revenge for the both of us!”
Dreamer stands and stares at Fox for a few seconds, trying to come to the decision of if teaming with Fox again is worth the risk to get another chance at his biggest enemy.
CJ Dreamer: “Ok, but this week you follow me lead!”
Dreamer pushes past Orlando Fox who looks slightly put out by the reaction, as the cameras head back to ringside for the opening match of the night.
Single Match
William Vorheez vs. Nathan Judge
The arena goes pitch black as the opening guitar riff from “Abominator” by Doyle plays. Smoke billows up from the bottom of the staging area, as green laser lights dance across the stage. Just as the opening riff comes to a close, two large hits of a drum can be heard, and pyro goes off syncing with them. The song dives in, as Vorheez makes his appearance at the top of the ramp. Wearing a long black, sleeveless coat, that has green stitching and it covered in small spikes, as well as a black, beat up, cowboy hat covering his eyes. Vorheez marches slowly down to the ring, his eyes fixated on the ring, looking determined, and focused. As Vorheez climbs onto the ring apron and climbs inside the ring the lights slowly come up and the music fades, Vorheez undoes his jacket and reveals the old sVo Championship underneath. Removing the belt he lifts it high in the air showing that he is the real reigning sVo Champion.
‘Night Crawler’ by Judas Priest hits the sound system and there are boos in the arena as Nathan Judge slowly emerges from the backstage area onto the top of the entrance ramp. Nathan Judge doesn’t look too happy with the reception he is receiving from the Vegas crowd as he stares out at the sea of people before slowly making his way down the entrance ramp towards the ring.
Judge slowly climbs into the ring between the ropes before walking around the perimeter and staring out at the crowd. The crowd continue to boo Nathan Judge as he stands tall in the ring looking ready for the match to begin.
Once again, William Vorheez forces the referee to hold the old sVo Championship belt in the air and for Natasha Ortiz the ring announcer to announce that the following match will be for the sVo Championship! The crowd cheer at the announcement and begin a ‘True Champ’ chant, as Nathan Judge licks his lips at the chance of a sVo Championship shot, despite not being against the official Champion!
The referee calls for the bell to be rung and the match is officially underway, with Vorheez and Judge trading big right hands in the middle of the ring. Vorheez lands a knee to the midsection of Judge to double him over, before grabbing him by the arm and sending him into the ring ropes, before landing a big boot to his opponents face as he bounces back. Judge rises up to his feet and fights back with some knife edge chops across the chest of Vorheez, but Vorheez cuts him off with a big elbow strike. Judge staggers backwards, and Vorheez follows up with a clothesline to knock his ‘challenger’ down to the mat.
The fans cheer Vohreez as he pulls Judge to a standing position, before throwing him hard into the nearest corner of the ring. Vorheez fires off on his opponent with some massive right hand strikes, before lifting him up onto a sitting position on the turnbuckle. The cheers continue as Vohreez hip tosses Judge off of the top of the turnbuckle, before diving down with a standing elbow drop. Vorheez quickly makes the cover, looking to get the early win.

No! There is a mixed reaction from the crowd as Judge gets a shoulder up off of the mat before the three can be counted! Vorheez stares at the referee before rising up to his feet, and stomping away on his opponent. Judge struggles up to a standing position under the kicks from Vorheez, before Vorheez grabs him by the arm again and sends him into the ring ropes. Vorheez looks for a clothesline as Judge bounces back, but Judge ducks under the arm of his opponent and then takes him down with a double leg takedown! The fans boo as Judge follows up with some mounted punches before Vorheez is able to wrestle his opponent off of him.
Vorheez struggles to his feet and Judge follows up with some big right hands. Vorheez covers up to try and protect his face, but Judge takes the opportunity to take down his opponent with a massive spinebuster, before taunting to the crowd! Vorheez looks in pain from the big spinebuster, and Judge follows up with an impressive double underhook slam in the middle of the ring! The crowd continue to boo Judge, as he taunts Vorheez once again, before landing a snap powerbomb in the middle of the ring and diving down to make the cover!
One,
Two,
No!
It looked all over right there, but somehow Vorheez manages to kick out at the very last second and the match continues! Judge curses the two count from the referee, but doesn’t feel sorry for himself as he jumps up to his feet and grabs the legs of his opponent. The fans boo loudly as Nathan Judge twists over his opponent and locks him in an inverted cloverleaf in the middle of the ring!
The referee dives down to ask Vorheez if he wants to tap, but he shakes his head as the crowd boo loudly. Judge uses all his strength to apply pressure on the move, but Vorheez bravely begins to crawl to the bottom rope! Judge screams at his opponent to tap out, but to the delight of the crowd, Vorheez is able to reach out and grab the bottom rope! The fans boo loudly as Judge keeps the move locked on for the full five count before the referee threatens to DQ him!
Judge finally releases the hold and rises to his feet, ignoring the boos from the crowd. Despite not picking up the submission victory, Judge signals for the end of the match as he calls for his finishing move and stalks Vorheez as he begins to get to his feet!
Judge grabs hold of Vorheez and looks for the ‘Judgement Day’, but Vorheez has the move scouted and blocks! The fans cheer Vorheez on as he blocks yet another attempt from Judge, before countering with a double arm DDT in the middle of the ring! Judge staggers up holding his head in pain, but Vorheez follows up with a spinning spinebuster into the cover!
One,
Two,
The… No!
It looked like it was over there, but Judge gets a shoulder up at the last millisecond! Vorheez however doesn’t pause, as he grabs Judge by the hair and pulls him back up. Vorheez lands a Fisherman’s buster on Judge in the middle of the ring before signalling for his finish! Nathan Judge looks out on his feet as he struggles to his feet, only for Vorheez to lift him into the air and land the ‘Wrath of Vorheez’ in the middle of the ring! The fans cheer as Vorheez hooks the leg.
One,
Two,
Three!
It’s all over and in a back and forth match between two powerhouses, it is William Vorheez who picks up his second victory in as many shows since his return!

Fight… Or Lose It All
The camera heads backstage to the office of sVo Owner Jon Page, where the Englishman is sitting behind his desk, wearing a dark suit as always. Page watches the celebrations of Vorheez on a screen on the far war with a smirk on his face. However the peace is soon broken as the office door swings open angrily, with Anthony Moretti and Joe Barone bursting into the office. Joe Barone stands silently by the door as Moretti marches over to Page’s desk and slams his sVo Championship and sVo Tag Team Championship belts down.
Anthony Moretti: “You see what this is?”
Moretti shouts angrily as he points at the sVo Championship belt.
Anthony Morett: “This is the gold that means I am at the top of the wrestling world. How can you let that fraud Vorheez parade around with that old belt out there week after week?”
Page relaxes back, a smirk still plastered over his face.
Anthony Moretti: “Well? What are you going to do about it?”
Jon Page: “What am I going to do about it? Shouldn’t the question be what are you going to do about it? You have a small army behind you and he is one man. Are you going to let him do that and call the sVo Championship into dispute?”
Moretti seems to be growing more angry with every word spoken by Page.
Anthony Moretti: “There is no dispute! I am the undisputed sVo Championship! That old man Vorheez can’t lace my boots!”
Jon Page: “Ok great, face him at Countdown to Violence and show there is no dispute over who can be champion….”
Anthony Moretti: “What? That old man doesn’t deserve a title shot! I have been here winning matches since the sVo returned! Vorheez can’t walk back in here and get a shot at this!”
Moretti again points angrily at the title belt.
Jon Page: “Oh I see. I didn’t realise you were worried about losing. I guess maybe I should book Vorheez in the main event to defend that belt he is walking around with in the main event?”
Moretti is now enraged.
Anthony Moretti: “What! No, I’m not scared! I will end that old man once and for all!”
Jon Page: “Great it’s settled then! Vorheez vs. Moretti at Countdown to Violence, winner is the undisputed sVo Champion!”
Page spins around a document that is on his desk, clearly already prepared, and hands a document to Moretti to sign. Moretti reluctantly takes the pen, before slowly scratching his signature on the document.
Anthony Moretti: “Wait, Vorheez has already signed this?”
Page smirks as he pulls out another document and places it in front of Moretti.
Anthony Moretti: “What the hell is this?”
Jon Page: “Well you will need to lend that pen to your big friend over there as well for this one old chap. This is for your Tag Team Championship defence at the PPV. Against Washington & Ono and the winner of tonight’s Tag Team match between CJ Dreamer & Orlando Fox vs. two wrestlers of JD James’s choosing out of Horizon…..”
Anthony Moretti: “No way am I signing that! I already have to defend my sVo Championship!”
Jon Page: “You better hand over those belts then guys because the 100 days without defending them runs out two days after Countdown to Violence, which means if you don’t defend them beforehand you will be stripped of them….”
Moretti looks at Barone in panic, with the big man at a loss for words. Moretti finally signs his name on the paper before pointing at Barone and making him do the same.
Anthony Moretti: “This is bullshit Page. Defending two belts in one night? I want forget what you have done to me!”
Jon Page: “The price of being so successful kid. I know you want forget, just like how I haven’t forgotten what you did to me out in the middle of that ring all those months ago.”
Page continues to smirk as he takes the contacts from Moretti and files them in his desk. Page then leans back and places his feet on the desk, relaxing backwards, a plan well executed.
Jon Page: “Anything else lads?”
Moretti says nothing as he angrily scoops up the title belts from Page’s desk and storms out of the office, Joe Barone close behind him.

Back On Form
The cameras head backstage after the impressive victory for Johnny All Star, as the man himself walks through the Gorilla position and towards the ‘Horizon’ locker room. Hot on the tails of All Star is Katie Smith, the sVo’s roving reporter who as always has a microphone in her hand and a camera crew in tow.
Katie Smith: “Johnny, a quick word if you don’t mind!? How important was that win for you out there tonight?”
All Star looks tired after the match up as he wipes the sweat from his face and drinks from a water bottle whilst walking, not slowing down for Smith.
Johnny All Star: “That was a big one, I know what an opponent The Teacher is from his history in the sVo so knew it was going to be tough to get back to winning ways out there.
Katie Smith: “It looks like he might have been injured out there, is that something you feel bad about or just part of the wrestling business?”
Before All Star can answer the question, he turns the corner of the backstage area and walks straight into a right hand from Money Malone that knocks him down to the floor! Malone continues the surprise attach with some stomps to the face of All Star, as Smith runs away in terror.
The cameras however stay focused on the attach, as Money Malone pulls a wad of dyed red dollar bills from his pocket and drops them down onto All Star, who is holding his face in pain and gasping for air. Malone laughs, before slowly backing away from the scene as help arrives in the form of some officials. The officials check on Johnny All Star as the scene fades out.

The arena lights dim as the V-Tron goes dark and several different colored gases start swirling in the middle. As the gases swirl faster the arena is rocked with an explosion from the V-Tron and pyro exploding from the ramp. The swirling gases are replaced by a spinning earth and ‘Evolution’ by Clawfinger fills the arena.

Match Made
The camera heads backstage to the interview area where Katie Smith is standing by, microphone in hand, alongside Amy Page. Page, the sister of the sVo Owner and the manager of Scott Washington and Yoshi Ono looks like she would rather be anywhere else in the world than answering the questions of the sVo’s leading backstage reporter.
Katie Smith: “Amy Page, thank you so much for joining us here tonight!”
Amy Page: “Let’s get this over with please Katie, my boys are not in action tonight so I am only here to scout out the opposition.”
Smith awkwardly nods her head as if she was expecting the scolding.
Katie Smith: “Well it was announced earlier that your team of Scott Washington and Yoshi Ono will get a title shot at Countdown to Violence as one team in a triple threat Tag Team Championship match. What are your thoughts heading into this match of your chances of walking out with the gold?”
Amy Page: “Well first off I am not happy that this is a triple threat. Darwin Jones & Hugo Ryzing have done nothing to earn their way into this match, but they are young and inexperienced and have no chance anyway, so they will have no chance. Now Moretti and Barone are an impressive team, but Moretti has two matches in one night, so his attention will be split. That means there will only be one outcome at Countdown to Violence, and that means a new set of sVo Tag Team Champions in the form of Scott Washington and Yoshi Ono!”
Page smirks at the camera before holding her hand up to Katie Smith to stop her asking any more questions, and walking carefully away from the interview area.

Boos continue to ring out around the arena as Money Malone cockily makes his way back up the entrance ramp, taunting the fans at ringside as he goes. Malone reaches the top of the entrance ramp and turns to flip off the fans once last time before disappearing around the curtain, however as he does there is a pop as from out of the curtain steps Johnny All Star, a bloodied bandage wrapped around his head!
Malone turns around and walks straight into All Star! Malone stumbles backwards in shock, before All Star begins to lay into him with right hands!
The fans cheer as All Star continues to lay into Malone with right hands, avenging the attack earlier in the night, before Malone is able to scramble into the crowd!
The security guards grab hold of Johnny All Star and restrain the former International Champion as Money Malone makes his escape through the booing crowd!

2 Against 1
The camera heads backstage to the locker room where Jupiter James and Ida Guildress, two of the new young talents introduced to the sVo over the last few months are sitting on steel folding chairs. Despite not being dressed for battle tonight, James and Guildress both look in happy moods as they laugh together.
Ida Guildress: “I was honestly surprised that the match was booked!”
Jupiter James: “Lucy has been pissing Jon Page off for months now with her sharp tongue. Plus since then joined Blood Money the Von Drake’s are not exactly on his good side!”
Guildress nods her head in agreement, the dark hair of the English star falling down over her face.
Ida Guildress: “True, true. But even so, it’s going to be my first time on PPV so I am pretty nervous about it!”
Jupiter James: “Don’t worry! We will deal with Lucy first and get some revenge for what she has done over the last month or so, and then it will come down to you and me, let the best lady win!”
James rises up to her feet and high fives Ida Guildress before making her way towards the locker room door.
Jupiter James: “Let’s steal the show and make sure the women of the sVo have the best match on the card!”
Guildress watches Jupiter James leave the room with a smile, before her smile turns into an evil smirk as she disappears around the door.

Remember Your Roots
With only moments to go until the main event, the camera again heads backstage where in the parking lot William Vorheez is making his way out of the arena. Vorheez has his old sVo Championship belt in the grip of his left hand, pulling his luggage with his right as he walks through the corridor and then out of the exit into the parking lot. However before Vorheez can make his way to his ride, a familiar voice from his past calls him back.
“Hey wait up!”
Vorheez slowly turns and comes face to face with Amy Page, dressed in a smart business suit and playing with her long blonde hair in a playful manner.
Amy Page: “Not sticking around to see the main event?”
Vorheez stares back at Amy Page, a blank look on his face.
Amy Page: “I don’t blame you, with you getting that title match at Countdown to Violence I bet you had a target on your back by the whole roster, not least Moretti & Blood Money!”
Vorheez against remains silent, only moving to tighten his grip on the title belt in his hand.
Amy Page: “Maybe you will remember who helped you get that title in the first place back in 2013? Maybe you should remember who helped you keep hold of it, back at the Countdown to Violence in 2013 if I remember rightly?”
Vorheez says nothing.
Amy Page: “Maybe you should remember who could help you get your hands on the real title in 2021 instead of running around with that relic…. Something to think about.”
Amy Page smiles a mischievous smile at Vorheez, before walking past him and gently squeezing his arm. Vorheez slowly turns and watches Amy Page leave, as the cameras head back to ringside for the main event.
