Proving Ground comes and goes... and perhaps changes its outlook ahead of the new year. Twitch: www.twitch.tv/videos/1989287985Youtube: youtu.be/M6IMF6GAE7oQuick Results Drumstick def. Heather Wild The Golden Ambush def. The White Sisters Pyrohawk Grey (oh no) def. Ziggy Rockefeller Marina Olesk def. Keiko Maeda Winter Fresh def. Speed Dating La Corsaria def. Jazmin Reyes Rey de la Carne def. Markos Andreas Aria Kintelas and Christina Wagner def. The Yoshida Twins HAYATO def. Harley Brooks to become the NEW Top Prospect Champion Main event winner, post-match: Standing in the middle of the ring, Top Prospect Championship over his shoulder, triumphant and defiant in victory, stands HAYATO. A mic in his hand, he speaks only briefly... but powerfully. "And don't you DARE call me a 'Prospect'... I am a STAR, I am the best there is on Proving Ground, I AM ASCENDANT!" He throws the mic down, hoists the championship up once again... then retreats backstage.
Backstage... the champion was met with none other than general manager Erica Tracy, who folded her arms, sighing softly. "You're going to insist on this, aren't you?"
"The time passed long ago. This title's name hasn't suited it for years, now. We are not 'prospects', we've reached a point where we carry every bit as much respect as those on Showdown."
"'Ascendant'? You act as though you're suddenly the biggest star in all of Phoenix Rising." Erica arched a brow.
"You listen closely: tell me I'm wrong. I could show up next week on Showdown, with this championship, take on anyone, anyone on that roster, and defeat them. And you'll introduce me as the new... Ascendant Champion." HAYATO patted the championship belt.
"... You know what? I may just take you up on that offer. You'll have a match next week. I'll see just who they want to put you up against. And as for 'Ascendant'... much as I'm not entirely a fan of your attitude... the name has a nice ring to it. Count yourself lucky... Mr. Tachibana. You're getting what you want. This time." Erica nodded slightly, though her eyes locked onto HAYATO's after a second. "Careful what you wish for. Champ."

Almost forgot to post the special Pacific Northwest Championship defense here.
Victor Kintelas defends against La Relampaga, who of course is in full holiday regalia (it was originally intended to be a Mexican flag attire, but... well, in practice it wound up being very Christmas-y)

New Year's Bash is a show that has never disappointed in the six years that Phoenix Rising has been running. And we were not about to start now. Twitch: www.twitch.tv/videos/2020370225Youtube: youtu.be/YPTzaTy9UCsQuick Results Crimson Romance def. The Big Boys to become the NEW Evergreen Tag Team Champions Shiana Sentarl def. Eri Sentarl The Excellent Blades def. Aria Kintelas and Christina Wagner to retain the Proving Ground Tag Team Championships The Cuddley Sistaz def. Kojiro Burai, Priya Mallaya and SATOMI to retain the Phoenix Rising Trios Championships Georgia Eagles def. Lance Marshall to become the NEW AFW Spirit of Texas Champion The Sheridan Brothers def. Blake Dynamite and Jessika Boom Fresh Suzuki def. La Corsaria to retain the Inspire Championship Natasha Clover and Tina Remington def. Wanted: DOA to retain the AFW Tag Team Championships Kantar def. Elly Blackwood to become the NEW Evergreen Champion The Limbtakers def. The Heyward Sisters to retain the Phoenix Rising Tag Team Championships Firehawk Sentarl def. Mascara Avispa to become the NEW Phoenix Rising World Champion Evergreen Champion"How many fuckin' years have I given to Evergreen? How many times have I gotten this desperately close only to have this damn title ripped away from me? Yeah, the boss man over on the so-called 'bigger' show isn't the only one who's been waiting a hell of a long time for this moment... I was one of the first to come back when Evergreen rebooted, the first in the door when it all started back up. Walked in the door, knocked off Kevin Royce, and never looked back! Never once showed a hint of fear or hesitation in that ring, but could never quite latch on to the big belt... the prize I've always had my eye on.
WELL HERE WE ARE! Invincible, doesn't matter to me! I got my ways! I got everything I need to crush anyone and EVERYONE in my path! You better damn well watch out, because Evergreen's on notice now... you're MINE! I'm not letting ANYONE stand in my way, no matter how important you think you are to Evergreen... I'm the undisputed biggest, BADDEST man there is around here now!" Firehawk Sentarl"Part of me wonders a little... if I got inside my own head, after the Ascension. Was I just expecting people to be frustrated with the fact that I was the one who took it all? Took the perception that suddenly, the guy in charge is getting the shot at the big one? I feel like... well, frankly, that I might've imagined it all. But let's be honest here...
I don't think any of it matters, one way or the other. Not anymore.
Avispa wanted me to come after him. Wanted me to challenge so he could try and finally close the book on the era, on my generation. Wanted to finally bring me down and stand over the ashes as he burned the last of it to the ground. And let's be blunt about it: he could've pulled it off. Both of us threw everything we had at each other. Every last possibility. No hesitation, in one of the most intense matches in Phoenix Rising history. Mascara Avispa proved that he was never, at any point, a fluke champion.
But I had no intention of ever, ever letting him stop me. Not this time. Not after so many false starts, so many wasted opportunities... not this time. I'd never be able to forgive myself. Never be able to shed the last, terrible choke if I couldn't get this done.
Six years into Phoenix Rising... I haven't been World Champion up this way since well before that. This might be the last time I ever get to feel the weight of the World Championship... as mine. And I don't intend to just sit on this, watching and waiting while everyone clamors to be the next in line. No... I'm going to fight. I may insist that this be the first and only time I ever hold this title, and if I'm going to do that...
I'm going to make this reign the most intense, fighter's reign that Phoenix Rising has ever seen.
Showdown starts back up in a few weeks, going back to the every-two-weeks schedule from years past. And I intend to defend this title every... single... episode. From now until someone brings me down. You want your shot at the title? Come and take it from me. The door's open. I'll be a fighting champion until I physically can't be anymore... and then... I'll withdraw from championship contention for however long my career lasts after that.
I'll be here, waiting for the first one to take that step."
