### Series

City British Wrestling series 1

***The Milkman's Retirement***, also known as ***Face Your Demons*** on The Official Podcast Feed, is the second episode of the first series of City British Wrestling.

Milk. Demons. Farm Puns. This episode included a match between Kid Flippz and Apex, interrupted by The Denimatrix. Golden Joe and Silver Bro attempted family therapy and ended up drugged and unknowingly fighting each other in the deserts of Chester. Kid and Tony the Milkman argued about staying in CBW before Tony had a match against Stretch Farmstrong which ended up with him in hospital. Denim fought Socratina for a chance in the Regal Wrangle.

## Plot

This episode of Sunday Night Lightning was set in Chester Colosseum.

### Kid Flippz vs Apex

Kid Flippz arrived to the ring after a burst of doves on his skateboard and said hi to his mum Doris. Apex appeared carrying a dead grizzly bear, and ate its heart. He lifted Kid off the ground but Kid gestured to his mum who threw a jar of Silky Bastard handcream at the referee's head so Kid could kick Apex in the bollocks.

Just as Apex was about to drop Kid on his head, The Denimatrix arrived on a giant lorry full of denim clothes and covered the ring in a sea of soft denim. QC arrived promptly afterward, and after some intimidation he offered her a deal; she could rejoin the roster only if she wrestled a match that day and entered the The Regal Wrangle. The match ended.

### The Precious Metals meet Dr Head Shruckner

Golden Joe and Silver Bro went to see family therapist Dr Head Shruckner as Joe believed Bro was jealous of him and that there was tension. Joe criticised Bro's use of the Silver Spooner in their last match, saying that it took all of the attention away from Joe. Head tried to encourage radical candor, but this did not reveal anything and so he told them to visit a shaman to heal their souls.

### Kid in the locker room

In the same room that Kid Flippz had talked to a beaten down Tony the Milkman the previous week, Tony and Kid had an argument. Kid hadn't seen Tony since, and he had been meant to come to Kid's match against The Denimatrix. Tony confessed that management had told him that if he lost his next match, he would be forced to retire. Kid said "maybe they're right," as he didn't want Tony to hurt himself and wanted a better, more present father. After some argument involving Doris, Tony walked away.

### Golden Joe vs Silver Bro

Golden Joe and Silver Bro trekked through the famous sand wastes of Chester to a small tent. Inside, the shaman made them eat a powerful hallucinogenic and instructed them to walk to opposite sides of the sand wastes where their demons would meet them. The drug caused them both to hallucinate that they were fighting faceless humanoid sand figures. Joe performed a Full Golden upon the apparition, while Bro's apparition seemed to apply a full nelson upon him. This tightened upon Bro until he passed out, and Joe realised that he had wrestled his own brother into unconsciousness. When Bro came to, he thought Joe had saved him from the apparition. These apparations seemed to stay a while after the two had sobered up before dissapearing. Joe called a cab.

### The Milkman vs Stretch Farmstrong

Tony the Milkman went up against Stretch Farmstrong, with Tony risking retiring from City British Wrestling entirely if he lost. He entered by tipping two wooden cows which then sprayed milk from their upturned udders, providing a curtain for him to walk through. Stretch arrived on a big tractor with a little pig. The match went well for Tony until he began relying on his strength and power as a wrestler over his technique. He did, however, execute a beautiful Double Underhook suplex. He tried a Milk Float (a superfly splash) which ended up with him landing in a Furrowed Plow (a walking Boston crab move) from Stretch. Kid Flippz came down to the ring with a white towel, which enraged Tony enough to reverse the Plow. He then began performing the Full Churn which made Stretch tap out, but this led to significant damage to Tony's body. Kid tried to clean up the blood, but Tony scolded him for this and Kid left. Kid did a really sad kickflip after hearing Tony's winning speech.

### The Denimatrix vs Socratina

This match was a ladder match between The Denimatrix and Socratina for guaranteed entry into The Regal Wrangle, with the contract at the top of the ladder. The Denimatrix entered with extremely high heel stilettos which she took off and stabbed into her skull to make horns, then used her denim minions to step up into the ring. Socratina entered accompanied by fragrant mist and birds, playing a tiny golden harp, and calmed the audience down entirely. On the bell, Denimatrix tried to use Tina as the first step of the ladder, then slammed onto Tina's back. She put Tina in a sleeper hold until she was unconscious, then attempted to climb the ladder. However, Tina got up and pushed it on its side, then performed two successful elbow drops and a leg drop on Denimatrix. Tina reached the top of the ladder and went for another elbow drop, but Denimatrix rolled out of the way and did a flying splash, broke Tina's spine with a loud snap, and sprinted up the ladder to grab the contract and win.

QC entered the ring and said that Denim would be entering that year's Regal Wrangle first; a huge disadvantage.

### The Milkman in hospital

After a particularly gruelling match, Tony the Milkman lay in a hospital bed, being attended to by Bitch Doctor and Fight Nurse. Kid Flippz entered the room to comfort Tony, and Doris came with him. Bitch Doctor told them that if Tony tried to wrestle again, he may die.
