King Cucaracha

You didn't lose because of that. Sorry, but the word limit was 4500, and you wrote over 6000. I couldn't, as a marker, let you win going that far over, and I'm fairly lenient on these things. Really? Fuck. I need to buy Microsoft Word, like, stat. Consider me so owned.

To play up on the more boxingy part of the character, he'd need a training video/diary in the build up to a big PPV title match. Throw in all the Rocky cliches you could think of. Make it so self indulgent that people can't help but hate him...kinda like HHH's Beautiful Day video package of doom. Only, intentional.

I would say it did. There was a short lived invasion a couple of years back. Hmm...I was going to do a Landon Maddix cameo, purely for self-egotism. But I have other plans now. Ah well, who knows, maybe I'll figure something out in the next... *checks watch* ...crap. I'd better start my match soon, huh?

Maybe we should add Best Comedy Match as a seperate category. Alf/Dude, Run For The Gold, Rodez/Dude...there'd be enough. Also, assuming PK is fine with me posting up an Official one of these once Climax goes up, would it be better if we had a shortlist of say, 5 for each category, so we don't run the risk of having a fourway tie with 2 votes each for some categories. Something tells me we might need a few more on the shortlist for "Biggest Bastard of an Idiot Award" this year, so we'll call it 'roughly' 5, if agreed.

JJ, new stattage is being PMed to you as we speak. Well, not literally. I'll wait until after the match before the rest of the world gets chance to marvel at them and then realise it's no big deal. Pure Wrestling rules. Yay!

Nice to see Toxx followed the rules with his match SO to the letter that it made all my long, drawn out, put the OAOAST to the side efforts so worthwhile. I really, truly, don't know why I bothered even trying. EDIT: In other news, I don't really care. Winning would have meant being after the Tag Titles again and I'm in no need to do that. I'm just buggered that I didn't go the easy endless ref bumps route myself. Or, the even easier no-show option come to think of it.

Disturbed already covered HHH's music for one of the WWE CDs. At least, I think it was Disturbed. So I'm assuming it's the same song.

So, we're not actually nominating yet, right? Best Segment would be good. Either Best Regular Segment or Best Individual Segment. Or both. We need one for Best Character too. You know, I'd actually like to handle this once it's time to actually vote. I can draw up the list of categories and nominees pretty easily. If that's okay with everyone and all.

8-Man Elimination Much longer than it seemed scanning through. Tony's writing style is like that though, using 10 words where I'd end up using 30...and believe me, if I could write the other way freely, I would. Anyway. Entertaining stuff here. I was surprised at how long the match seemed to go with no eliminations, until the double (or quadruple, I guess) DQ, when it all made sense. Once Simon went, it might have been better to have Ned run for the hills rather than try and fight 2 on 1. Seems more in character. Depends on who's being protected more though, I guess. Other than that though, thumbs up. Torneo Cibernetica Yowza! Hell of a long match. I haven't seen any Cibernetica matches, personally. And I got lost a couple of times and had to check who was on who's team again, with the divided allignments. Each of the eliminations seemed to have some story to it, rather than just happening, which for a match with 11 eliminations is impressive. One WTF moment with the knife. Certainly different. But, seriously, awesome stuff. Black/Bohemoth This is the first match in forever that I've wrote and felt really good about afterwards. Most of my matches for the past 4/5 months have for one reason or another either been horribly rushed, gone to cheap finishes or had finishes tacked on at the end to meet deadlines. Luckily, I actually managed to finish the bulk quite early by not being so 'wordy' and focus on the finish. IronTag ...which is probably because I did pretty much dick all for this. So, kudos to Zack first and foremost. I'm not sure what moveset he's using for me, but I still seem a little too flippy at the start. Oh well, no biggy. Is it sad that until this match, I didn't know what a "hat rack" was? Bitches be trippin'. The finish was all Zack's idea and it came off brilliant. Kudoses again to Zack. SHI/Deadly Alliance Hey, a videp recap. We don't do enough of them. Spot-O-Mania to begin with. That fourman Fallaway Slam was crazy. If it were anyone other than Sandman, I'd probably question why there's a lighttube under the ring, but it's Sandy. Big surprise that Alf went first for the DA. I like how Stevens is basically letting Brock do all the work. More lightubage and for some reason, No DQ? Then again, I guess I wouldn't argue with Brock if I was a scrawny referee either. The third lighttube spot bugs me a little though, because there seems to be no way the referee didn't see it are wouldn't call the DQ. Maybe this one should have been No DQ, but besides the relaxed rules, still very good stuff. Alf's really done great with the CSI since he took them up. X/Otaku A short match...thank God, a short match. About damn time. Obviously, PRL had other stuff to concentrate on so it's understandable that this is short. At least it makes sense to be so short though, with Otaku's concussion angle. PK/Parka Man, PK's a dick here. Like it. The story with PK and his recent attitude adjustment is handled very well, although at times he seems a little too heelish, for a tweener. Decent match. I had to check PK's stats again, because with his picbase Nash, I subconsciously expect him to wrestle like Nash. Kinda like Axel with his Taker picbase. But yeah, decent match, brutal finish. I liked the beatdown at the end and the spot where Kalm was taken out was fantastic dick heelism. Axel Promo Man, people never use songs I've heard of for theme music. Axel is back! Huzzah! I guess he didn't find an opponent after all, because he's got THE STICK~! Yay, I got a mention. Ooh, he's shooting. Axel's shooting, brutha! World Cup mention flies over 90% of the fed's heads. Nice little promo, sums up where Axel stands. Or rather, doesn't stand. PRL/SJ Yay for full Buffer intros. Hell, we even get the physicians named. Lightning Crew, most feared stable in wrestling? Eh, you guys don't have Prince Nana, so you're nothing. So, does Popick like being called Popick or not? I guess so, but I swore I remember reading something from someone on one show where he didn't. Not including my match the other week. Oh well. Maybe I imagined it. I know PR's moveset is 'kinda' 'slightly' plagarised from a few people and his similarities to The Rock are...well, 'kinda' 'slightly' obvious...but I enjoyed this match a lot. The dynamic between Popick and PRL was played up very well. The handshake at the end didn't bother me too much. Might have been best left until HD, sure. But PRL is loyal to SJ anyway and PRL needed to do something to go back to heeldom. To be honest, I kinda liked the finish actually. I, personally, am not all that keen on the way the early 2 counts are hidden in amongst the prose...which isn't just a PR thing, I noticed it in a couple of matches. Just a personal quirk of mine. That very minor thing aside (and that's me being pretty anal), one hell of a show. Reading every word took me a long ass time, but I managed it. So, I'm going to pass out now. But, from what I can recall with my haphazard memory, this is probably getting my vote for PPV of the year come Year End Awards time. Thumbs way up. Kudoses to all and sundry. Great show.

[color=blue]OAOAST Productions, Proudly Presents...[/color] [color=purple][size=6]#~~THE LOVE SHACK~~#[/size][/color] We're taken to 'Grand Rapids', 'MI', to the state of the art set of the world's most influential interview program, [i]The Love Shack[/i]! Our wild and wacky host, often compared to Larry King in his prime, Leon Rodez is sitting behind his desk wearing a Grand Rapids Griffins hockey jersey. RODEZ Oh, hello there. Welcome to The Love Shack, the show [i]Entertainment Weekly[/i] called insipid, base, distasteful, and a banal rout that sets broadcast journalism back twenty years. Fortunately, I declared that week opposite week, and that means they really liked the show! Thanks guys! Now, The Love Shack is more then just a place for me to be a comedic foil to straight laced heels and uptight babyfaces who the bookers have forced me to tag with. No, The Love Shack is also a place for me to pontificate (I've been doing mah book learnin') about serious issues of the day. I'll tell you what's a serious problem. The Boy Scouts of America. That's right, you heard me. Bear with me. Innocent organization designed to breed upstanding citizens or Neo Nazi cult designed to breed super soldiers to prepare for the arrival of cyborg Hitler? Before you change the channel to a rerun of [i]The Parkers[/i], and proclaim I've been hitting the wacky weed, look at this picture of these hate mongering servants to the third Reich, then decide. [IMG=http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y39/Portfree/boyscouts2.jpg] RODEZ (shaking his head) I think the answer is fairly obvious. Wouldn't you say, audience? Audience? Audience? There is no audience, even though I promised free punch. Camera man, say yes. CAMEREA MAN Yeah, screw Hitler. RODEZ Yes. That's why I propose a new group where young boys can be molded into the men of the tomorrow, free from pervy old dudes giving them the once over. I propose the uh..Rodez Scouts of America. No, I won't give you any fancy badges from walking old ladies across the street and not coping a feel while doing it, no I won't teach you any stupid skills that will only be useful if you decide you want to be Davey Crockett when you grow up, no I won't give you a uniform that's basically an invitation to bigger kids to beat your ass, but I will give you this; [i]Spice World[/i] on DVD. A cinematic masterpiece. I always liked Sporty Spice, because it always felt like I could do her. She was hot, but ugly enough that she felt doable to the average man. Speaking of ladies I wouldn't mind doing, let's introduce my guests. They haven't been on a pay per view since Laguna Beach season one was still on the air, they've wrestled exactly two matches in the past four months, but that's alright, that's okay, they're gonna make it anyway, because they're really hot. They are Chicks Over Dicks....Alix Maria Spezia and Krista Isadora Duncan... Cue the applause track as The COD walk onto the set. Alix merrily waves to some non-existant audience members while Krista seems noticeably less enthralled. The two sit down on their provided chairs, Krista closest to Leon. Until, that is, Alix picks up her chair and squeezes it in the small gap between Krista's and the desk. ALIX Did I hear you right? Did you say that I was really hot? Aw, that's so nice of you. Isn't that nice, Krista? She looks angry. Best not talk to her too much. I really like it when men say that to me because it means they're not just into me for my brains or to steal my expert haircare tips. Men are such women nowadays. Have you noticed that? Huh? Huh? And, not like those half and halfers. Love Hewitts, I call them. She tried to sue me once, but then we spread that rumour about her on the internet. So. Owned. That's what she gets for stealing my part in [i]Can't Hardly Wait[/i]. But, I think I've said to much because there's a flick knife jabbing me in the thigh, which usually means Krista's getting tetchy. Or she's drunk. Or not drunk enough. Putting on facecream, wearing pink, washing their hair more than twice a week. If I don't do that, why should men? Makes no sense. I see you have funny little braids in your hair, so I'm gonna stop talking. RODEZ Good, so... ALIX See, I like compliments. They're so...complimentary. Like those funny little mints that you get on your pillows. Your minty compliments make me all fuzzy inside. In a good way. Not the way I went fuzzy inside when I accidently swallowed that lollipop I found down the back of my car seat and unwrapped and put in my mouth to see if it was apple or lime. But Krista, she has this kinda thing where she kinda wants to kill every male that she sees. Kinda. In fact, if she were paying attention enough to realize that you called her hot, you'd be in a lot of hot, bubbly water right now. If that desk wasn't protecting your wang shaft, she'd have probably dived onto you as soon as she walked in and cut it right off. She did it to this hobo one time. Man, that was some running. Some people would probably enjoy that though. RODEZ Oh, I know exactly what you mean. And what I mean by that is, I kinda tuned out midway through what you were saying and started staring at your breasts. But I heard the last bit...and I've seen it all in my time. ALIX Really? Have you ever seen a Portugese woman in an Emu costume getting it on with two Alsatians. RODEZ Uh, no. ALIX Oh, damn. Okay, okay, how about this one. A woman called Krista and a guy called Ned in the back alley behind a [i]Diary Queen[/i]? RODEZ Ha, yeah, I saw that one! ALIX (to Krista) See! And to think, you said nobody with half a braincell would buy it! KRISTA I still have no evidence to say otherwise. This 'interview' is beginning to get out of control. So, ever the professional, Rodez completely ignores the bickering going on between his guests and simply grabs a swig of his Fresca. ALIX (to Rodez once more) Hey, you're tag team partners with Zack now, aren't you! Boy, that must be fun. I really mean that. Honestly. I swear on it. Promise. Honest engine. Incase you couldn't tell, that was sarcastic. Zack sucks. By the way, this interview is really swell, don't ya think? RODEZ Can't be any worse than my recent efforts. So, anyway, Krista, you haven't said much. What do you think of the interview so far? KRISTA Me? I think it's been god awful. It's like being tied, bound and gagged to your bed and being forced to watch re-runs of [i]MadTV[/i] 24 hours a day, all day, every day. Cruel and unusual punishment. But, maybe I'm being too kind. I have that habit. How about I tell it to you straight, kiddo. It's a farce. You're no more of an interviewer than David Letterman is. It's more of a farce than American Idol. It's more of a farce than NASA. It's more of a farce than WNBA coverage. Sure, we don't know how to dunk, but we make up for it with good fundamentals. Yeah, so I stole that line from a Futurama epsiode...so what? Are you saying that makes me unoriginal? Obviously, you're not saying with words. But I can read your mind. You're lusting after my little sister and hoping that that lackey you sent to get you a foot long from Subway would hurry the hell up. ALIX Oh my gawd! We're sisters!?! That means we just got our incest on in the dressing room before we came out here! That's hot! But I don't want our babies to come out all deformed and defective. Like they could have three eyes, or six arms, or be [i]Saved By The Bell[/i] fans. KRISTA (cringing) You, Mister Rodez, also think I'm unoriginal. Me. Unoriginal. Leon, you're preaching to the choir here. We're the original originals. And we don't need cool jackets with our names on to prove it. Chicks Over Dicks have been ripped off more times than Christina Aguilera's underwear. Consistantly and rampantly. With teeth. Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen? Bitch, please. Alix had an eating disorder while they were still occupying space in their mother's womb...sapping her energy...taking her internal fluids...making her unattractive to the opposite sex. Yes, I have issues. Don't even get me started on that jerkoff Billy Banks. All the moves in Tae-Bo were the same I used to kick his bald ass when he made a pass at me at Miss California contest. The Pussycat Dolls? Don't make me laugh. Seriously, I got a botox injection and it'll make my face hurt. They're a ripoff of a ripoff. Where do you think the Spice Girls got their dress sense from? Certainly not us. They did steal everything else from us though. Including Alix's singing voice. Don't you wish your girlfriend was a freak like me? That was my sure-fire chat-up line for 7 years, 8 months, 23 days. Not that I need it now, seeing as all men are sub-human pigs who impregnate you with their demon spawn and then run off to form half baked tribute acts to wrestling tag-teams from the 1980s. RODEZ Not me. KRISTA I'm sorry little boy, did you say something? I've heard that before. You narcissistic sports pimps are all the same. RODEZ No, seriously. I'm a former pornstar see... ALIX Really? RODEZ ...so, I'm actually incapable of that, if you catch my drift... ALIX Rrrrreeeeeaaaaalllllyyyyy? RODEZ ...and me and Zack don't rip off anyone from the 1980s. Zack's too busy ripping off the entire early 90's re-run lineup. I pratically had to beg him not to call ourselves Hang Time. ALIX Rrrrrrreeeeeeeaaaaaaalllllllyyyyyyy? RODEZ ...actually, no. It was the other way around. Seemed cool at the time. Awkward silence. Alix glances at a nonexistent watch on her left wrist, as Krista contemplates suicide, just to get out of this ear-bleeding pointless segment. RODEZ According to this card, I have to talk about OAOAST matters on the show. So I'll abandon my planned discussion on climate change's affect on the mighty Himilayas and ask you about tonight instead. And, everyone's happy. Win for me, win for you Krista...err...and Alix...err... ALIX I found a nickel! It was in someone's pocket! RODEZ Wow...nickel! That's one of the most precious metals alive! ALIX I know! Wanna see it? Reaching hurriedly into her pocket, Alix pulls out the nickel and shows it to Leon with a beaming smile. But Leon isn't looking at the nickel. He's looking right into Alix's eyes. Cue sickly sweet, romantic music. ALIX ...Oh, that's my phone. *picks up phone* Hello? I'm sorry, I can't quite hear you, this is a very bad connection. You want to know how big my whats are? Man, there's a lot of static here. But, thankfully, no Jax. Hello? You'll have to speak up. You want to know if you can jab your long, floppy, rubber what up my who? I think you might have the wrong number, madam. Unless you got this off a bathroom stall door. In which case, thank you very much for your interest in whatever services you've been told I provide. But, unfortunately, I don't do that sort of thing unless you're a tall, rich, blonde, who happens to think the phrase “happy hour” has a silent “twenty four” in the middle. My “sister” however, seems to be turning into a man-hating lesbian as of late, so maybe I'll put her on. Nope, flick knife in the thigh again. Best hang up now. Toodles! *hangs up* And now, back to the staring. Re-cue sickly sweet, romantic music. KRISTA Ugh! That's it, I'm out of here. There's a liquor store around the corner run by a guy who looks like Chong. Or the other guy. I forget which one. If I haven't staggered out of there in 10 minutes, somebody grab the defibulator from my locker room. I might need to sell it for some beer money. And with that, Krista grumpily walks off. Leaving Alix and Leon still engaged in a super STAREDOWN~! ... OF LOVE~! RODEZ So, assuming your “sister” isn't going to affixiate herself to death, you wanna go grab something to eat? ALIX You had me at Hello. RODEZ That's funny. I don't remember saying "Hello". ALIX Sure you did. Silly! RODEZ No, I think that was the dominatrix chick on the phone. ALIX Oh. Well, either way, it turned me on. So, where are we going to eat then? I fancy something different. Like people say, when in Rome. Hey, lets get pizza! No, wait, Rome's in Italy. What does Spain have. Think Alix, think. You've watched [i]Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego[/i]. Spain. Spain. Beaches? Bullfighting? Landon Maddix? Uh, uh...PAELLA! Let's have some of that. With french fries! RODEZ ...yeah, okay! Just, let me take care of this quickly. *to camera* That was the Love Shack, I was Leon Rodez, Krista was here, Alix still is...next week, stuff will happen no doubt. So, yeah, okay, see ya, yeah, bye. C'mon, let's go get stuffed. ALIX Ooh, goodie! Let's go get something to eat first though. Leon seems confused for a minute, but seems to get the picture and beams as he scuttles out from behind the desk. Grabbing Alix by the arm, Leon then whisks the wacky Ms. Spezia out of her chair and away out of shot. Just missing a stagehand walking in from the other side of the camera, carrying with him a plastic carrier bag, with a Subway logo...

It's been a month and ProEvo's really beginning to get frustrating. I'm sick of being hacked down by the last man in the final 10 minutes, when losing 1-0, and the referee not giving so much as a yellow card, leaving me with free-kicks that are still virtually impossible to score from. I'm sick of the 'convenient' refereeing. I'm sick of all the bloody fouls. I'm especially sick of being able to completely dominante Arsenal all over the park one match, then end up in the ProEvo equivalent of Conference Football against Sunderland the next and not be able to string two passes together. I'm pissed that I started the Master League with Charlton without realising Danny Murphy and Darren Bent are shite. Especially as crap players like Morientes seem to be world class. I don't mind losing, so long as the matches are fun. I had Chelsea in the 'League C Cup' Semi-Final and played superbly. Led 1-0 right until Stoppage Time and conceded a header to make it 1-1 right at the death. I laughed it off though, because it was a fair game. Then, I play Sunderland and it's frustrating as hell. I won 3-2 but I was just happy the game bloody ended. THEN, I go two down to Liverpool in 15 minutes next game, because Deisler is unstoppable. Literally. You can't even hack him down. I manage to get back to two-two and then Deisler scores from a bullshit freekick. Needless to say, I didn't smile. Rant over.

Pro Evolution Soccer 5. I just got beat 2-0 by Mexico. VIVA LA RAZA!

btw, "Chokeslam 3" is Funaki's Miracle Ecstacy Bomb.

WTF are they doing with Shelley exactly? Guy who runs around with a video camera? I'm pleased he's doing something, but that just sounds so obscure that it can't do anything but make him look like a goofy, comedy jobber.

It's sad that I'm actually tempted to watch this, purely for The Boogeyman skit.

There'll be tension, for sure. Also, so you know in advance, I'm planning to do a promo with the three of us on next week's show. It'll be a little bit more Rodez than this, but just mentioning it so we don't end up with duplicates next week. EDIT: Duh, someone can't count.

Ooh, I forgot Jack Evans. Totally agree. He would be the fucking man in the X-Division within 2 weeks of debuting, no doubt. Homicide would be okay, but I'm not dying to see him like some. He'd got lost in the shuffle if down to size alone and we've seen with Aries and Shelley how much time is devoted to new guys sometimes. Besides that, Smokes bugs me. Like, a lot.

I certainly wouldn't mind posting it, but if you'd like to do it, go right on ahead! KC, I'll get back to you about da Shack. No rush. Also, Ashley Street interview. Packed show, man.

6 matches on a post-PPV show? Is that some sort of record?

That's Mens Teiho's one-armed chokeslam / powerbomb dealie, right? Check out the chokeslams (once you've got the Tough Enough trophy and have unlocked all of the non-legends movesets). One of the chokeslams should be the kind that Goldberg used, it's the closest thing, probably. If it's the Chokeslam/Powerbomb deal, it might be under Funaki's moveset because I think it was he who used it in Japan, not Teioh. Might be wrong though. It was definately in the last game though.

I also, really, need to know this.

Alligator Clutch, I think, is the Folding Press pinfall. You stack the opponent's legs with your own and sprawl forward over them. I think in the end, his feet are tucked underneath the opponent's knees. That's a pretty crappy explanation though. If you've seen Quack/Hero from the '04 TPI, he uses it to win there. Quackensmash is one of his springboard moves, from what I can remember when he was PWI's favourite son. All I can think of though.

What is up with the censoring of Angle's "You Suck" chants? The reason Bischoff does it is because Angle hates it when the crowd in the arena chant You Suck at him when he makes his entrance. So, they bleep it out in the arena, right? Otherwise, isn't it utterly pointless and can't Angle still hear the chants anyway?

Back at the Cleveland training facility, we return to the ongoing Cucaracha Internacional soap opera where this week, Jay Hawke and JJ Johnson are undertaking the unenviable task of trying to teach their leader how to wrestle. Oh, the irony. Last we saw, Jay and JJ were running the rule over Landon's ring style. And his hair. Now though, things have picked up. With noticeably shorter, thinner and more fashionable, less floppy hair, Landon lays flat on his face in the ring erected in the training room. It might be more pleasurable too, if JJ Johnson didn't have him nearly locked in his trademark Sharpshooter. Maddix is already sweating bullets as from the outside, Hawke watches on, waiting for JJ to signal he's ready...before giving him the signal to sit down. *ARRGH!* "OKAY LANDON...NOW, COUNTER! *ARRGH!* "C'MON LANDON, THINK!" shouts Jay from the sidelines, as JJ wrenches on the Sharpshooter some more. "HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO THINK WHEN I'M SO MUCH...*ARRGH!*...PAIN!?!" "THINK LANDON! THINK OF A WAY TO MAKE HIM BREAK IT!" *TAPTAPTAP!* Unorthodox, sure, but it worked. Rolling his eyes and groaning deeply, Hawke is disappointed to say the least. He and JJ had been going through ways to counter The Sharpshooter for the past 20 minutes, to no avail. And that's only submission one of...well, quite a damn few. Lost in his disappointment, Hawke forgets all about Landon for a few seconds, but suddenly the tapping and wailing brings him back to the real world. "Okay JJ, break it." JJ does and Landon finally has some relief. For now, at least. Rolling into the rock-hard ring, Hawke pulls himself and looks down on Maddix with that 'disappointed teacher' look. "Maybe we should start with something simpler, hmm?" "Sure...just give me a minute to re-attach my spinal cord." "Let's try a heel hook, JJ..." "A heel hook?" snaps Maddix, now seated. "From him!?! That's not simple, Jay, that's torture with permission!" "Crossface hold?" "Not in a million years." "Okay, well how much simpler do you want?" Landon shrugs. "How simple can you go?" Turning to JJ, Hawke raises an eyebrow as JJ shrugs. "Simple...okay, well, how about we start right at the bottom. JJ, give him a rear chinlock." Withough a word, JJ brushes past Hawke, looking mightily offended. Leaving the ring, JJ then strides across the room and grabs himself a bottle of water. Landon and Hawke amuse themselves in the meantime, whistling and twiddling their thumbs, as eventually JJ walks back, finishing a swig of his water before climbing to the apron in front of Hawke. "You're joking, right." "Okay then, I'll do it." sighs Hawke, not quite so picky about restholds as JJ. Stepping into the middle of the ring, Hawke calls Maddix over. To be honest, Landon seems to be milking the pain that he's in just a little too much as he hobbles over and sits down on request. As he does, Hawke kneels beside him...and quickly applies the chinlock. Looking a little taken aback at how much this well-applied chinlock is wrenching at his neck and jaw, Maddix flails as it's applied. But he soon gets control of himself and pushes himself up to his feet. "Okay, good..." encourages Hawke, all the while wrenching on the hold. "Now what?" "Good question." "C'mon, this is simple." "That's easy for you to say. You've got the easy job." "Well, think about it...what's the natural counter?" *UURRGGHH!* He had to ask. Going rigid, Hawke releases the chinlock and collapses to the canvas, clutching his groin. Meanwhile, Maddix lowers his mule-kicking leg and turns around, to see Hawke crumpled on the mat, looking almost a little too pleased. "How was that?" For a moment, Hawke's words stick and choke at the back of his throat. But eventually, he manages to splutter out a couple of words. "Lesson...over..." "Great. Hey, let's all go out for burgers, huh? My treat." Hawke groans from his fetal position, as Landon leaves the ring with a beaming smile on his face. He DID escape the chinlock, after all. Somehow, I don't think that was quite what Hawke was hoping for though.
