Since it doesn't seem like Hoff will be posting the show anytime soon - hope everything is going well with him - I thought I would post the Triple Jeopardy match here. It actually has a huge effect on the Elimination Chamber match for this Thursday - the placements of the #1, #2, and #6 spot - so it's important that the match get posted somehow. Enjoy!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
COLE
Welcome back to HeldDOWN~! Before we go into the main event, we have a couple of brief notes concerning Sunday's Pay-Per-View that we couldn't squeeze anywhere else into this jam-packed show.
COACH
First off, Jonas Smith got all of his paperwork finalized, and on Sunday night, he will make his in-ring debut as a wrestler to avenge his bully, Alex Bryant!
CABOOSE
Also, due to a tremendously-painful pulled thigh muscle, Danny Douglas will not be able to wrestle at all this Sunday night. Therefore, both his match and the match between the Tethers Brothers to determine who gets to wrestle Danny is off.
COACH
HOWEVER, the Board of Directors have spoken, and we will have both matches on HeldDOWN~! NEXT WEEK!
CABOOSE
That's crap.
COLE
And now we've come to our Main Event tonight!
CABOOSE
Finally!
COLE
Folks, we are only three days away from Thanksgiving Star Wars, and seeing six OAOAST superstars battle it out in the Elimination Chamber to determine the new Heavyweight Champion. Well, tonight, these six superstars are going to battle it out - but in a different fashion.
COACH
Right. Tonight, we will be seeing the first-ever Triple Jeopardy match here in the OAOAST! Three teams of two will fight out in the ring in a Triple-Threat-Tag format. When one of the teams is eliminated, the match will immediately turn into a Fatal Fourway! Whoever gets the win there, get this, will earn the #6 spot in the Elimination Chamber this Sunday!
COLE
Folks, it can't be expressed just how important that #6 spot could be!
CABOOSE
Well, Coach, I'm not surprised you left out an important stipulation of the match in your explanation. Keep in mind also - the first team that loses the match tonight will actually earn the #1 and #2 spots in the Elimination Chamber. How terrible is that?! Who wants to see Drek Stone and Chris Stevens forced to wrestle each other at the beginning of the Elimination Chamber?!
COLE
Well, Caboose, I'm afraid that's impossible.
CABOOSE
What do you mean?
COLE
I'm getting word from the back about these three teams. The superstars didn’t get to pick their own partners. Rather, the teams were chosen randomly, and I’m just finding out now what the combinations actually are. First off, we have the team of Crystal and Chris Stevens!
COACH
Whoa!
COLE
Second, we have the combination of Drek Stone and Sly Sommers!
CABOOSE
Drek has to team with Sly?!
COACH
Uh-oh. That means...
COLE
The third team will be none other than Ragdoll and Axel.
COACH
WOW!
CABOOSE
Well, that’s not going to be pretty.
COLE
So, as you can see, there is actually going to be tension on ALL three of these teams.
COACH
I think we're in for something special tonight.
CABOOSE
I can't wait to see Drek Stone claim the #6 spot! That will only make his destiny easier this Sunday! But then again, if Chris Stevens gets it, I won’t exactly be upset…
COLE
Well, it’s time. Ladies and gentlemen, we have taken our last commercial break! Let's get down to the ring for this important matchup!
*The camera cuts to Michael Buffer standing in the center of the ring with a microphone*
BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemn, we have come to the Main Event. For the first time in OAOAST History, we will being having a TRIPLE JEOPARDY MATCH HERE TONIGHT!!
CROWD
YEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!
BUFFER
The rules are simple. There are to be three teams of two here tonight! Drek Stone and Sly Sommers! Chris Stevens and Crystal! AND Ragdoll and Axel!!
“YEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
BUFFER
These three teams will face off in a triple threat tag match. The first team eliminated will earn the #1 and #2 spots in the Elimination Chamber matchup! Once one team is gone, the match will turn into a Fatal Fourway! The first combatant to reach a win there will earn the #6 spot in the Elimination Chamber at THANKSGIVING STAR WARS for the OAOAST HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!
*Once again, the crowd breaks out into a rabid fit of cheers*
BUFFER
And now let’s get started! Coming down to the ring first….from Chippawa, Michigan…..weighing in at 194 pounds……please welcome SLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYYY SOMMMMMMMERRRRRRRRSSSSSSSS!!!!
:::“Gimme Back My Bullets” blasts over the loudspeakers as Sly Sommers steps out onto the ramp, receiving an incredibly loud reaction in return. While walking to the ring, Sly slaps hands with the fans clamoring to make contact with this OAOAST hero. Once he gets to the bottom of the ramp, he slides through the bottom rope. Sly then stands on the middle turnbuckle and poses to all the fans screaming his name:::
BUFFER
And his partner!
Woke Up This Morning
Got Yourself A Gun
Mama Always Said You’d Be
The Chosen One
BUFFER
Hailing from Brooklyn, New York…..weighing in at 225 pounds……here comes DRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEK STOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
:::The sounds of A3’s “Woke Up This Morning” hits the PA system. The building breaks out into a wild chorus of boos as Drek Stone steps out through the curtains. The crowd heckles Drek as he walks down the ramp and towards the ramp. He cautiously stares at Sly standing in the ring, but then climbs up the ring steps anyway and walks into the ring. He moves to the center of the ring and pounds his chest, unleashing an impressive series of fireworks from the four corners of the ring:::
BUFFER
Their opponents……first off, from Tasmania, Australia……weighing in at 245 pounds…..here comes AXXXXXEEELLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
:::The lights slowly dim as the building gets shrouded in darkness. “Down With the Sickness” by Disturbed echoes throughout the arena as Axel steps through the curtains and onto the entranceway. With an angry look on his face, Axel slowly stalks down to the ring, not taking his attention away from any of the man already standing there. He slowly walks up the ring steps and into the ring, an expression of determination on his face the entire time:::
BUFFER
And his partner…..from Las Vegas Nevada, weighing in at 165 pounds……none other than RRRRRRRRAGGGGGGDOLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!
:::Next up, “Nowhere” by The Stitches begins to play as Ragdoll steps out to a loud negative reaction. He strides down to the ring, screaming at the fans booing him along the way. He stops at the bottom and looks up at Axel. The two look at each other with a pure expression of hatred for a few moments, until Ragdoll rolls underneath the bottom rope and into the ring:::
BUFFER
And their opponents….first, from Rochester, Minnesota….weighing in at 221 pounds…..please welcome CHRRRRRRIIIIISSSSSSS STEEEEEVEEEENNNNNNNNNS!!!!
:::“Bound to the Floor” kicks up over the loudspeakers as Chris Stevens walks out through the curtains with his fist raised up in the air. With a conceited look on his face, Stevens walks down to the ring, absorbing the crowd’s jeers with a smile. He steps onto the apron and slings himself over the top rope into the ring:::
BUFFER
And finally, his partner! Coming right from Coquitlam, British Columbia…..she is the absolute Female Phenom of the OAOAST! Ladies and gentlemen, give it up please for CRRRRRRRRRYSTAAAAALLLLLLLL!!!!
:::“Set it Off” begins to loudly play in the building as the fans get out of their seats and begin to wildly cheer. Crystal hops onto the ramp, receiving a WILD reaction in return. Fireworks set off near the stage as she walks quickly down to the ring. She climbs up the turnbuckle and holds her arms out for the crowd, allowing them to bathe her in a sea of flashbulbs:::
COLE
And with all those entrances out of the way, we are finally ready to start this thing!
*DING DING DING*
COACH
Through a tournament game of rock-paper-scissors backstage, it has been decided that Axel and Chris Stevens will start out this match against each other.
COLE
Was that really how it was decided?
COACH
I have no idea. I just thought it sounded funny.
CABOOSE
You thought wrong.
Axel and Chris Stevens stand on opposite sides of the ring, ready to start this match. Axel begins to walk forward to meet with Chris, until Ragdoll stops him by holding onto his shoulder. Axel turns around quickly and the two men have an intense face-to-face staredown. This gives Stevens the opportunity to sneak-attack Axel with several hard blows to the back. Axel moves to the turnbuckle to try to escape, but Stevens turns him around and continues to pepper him with right hands to the face.
COLE
Axel seems a little shocked by this onslaught!
CABOOSE
He shouldn’t be! Didn’t he bother to see what Stevens did to Sly at World Without End?
Axel has trouble shielding against the barrage, so he hits Stevens with a stiff shot to the head! Chris moves back a little, allowing Axel to hit him with a second stiff punch! And a third! Axel grabs Steven’s arm and irish-whips him into the ropes. Stevens bounces back - and gets a big boot to the face! Immediately after Chris falls to the mat, he rolls to the outside to regain his wits, much to the enjoyment of the fans. From the apron, Crystal starts screaming at Stevens.
CRYSTAL
Get back in there, Chris! I won’t have you ruin my chance at getting #6! Get your ass in that RING!
Stevens turns and spits up at Crystal.
STEVENS
Shut your mouth, you hag!
Stevens soon rolls back into the ring and up onto his feet.
COLE
Well, that seemed a little uncalled for.
CABOOSE
Oh, but it needed to be said.
COACH
If I wasn’t strictly warned by Watts not to come close to the ring when Crystal is wrestling, I would fight for my woman’s honor right now!
He and Axel stare at each other once more, until Chris stretches his hand out for a test-of-strength. Axel stares at him confusingly for a moment, with the fans pleading for him to take the bait. Axel slowly extends his arm towards Stevens, they lock hands for a moment - and Stevens gives Axel a stiff boot to the stomach! Axel doubles over in shock after the kick, allowing Stevens to jump over him and attempt a sunset flip. Yet, once Chris hit’s the mat, he can’t seem to bring Axel along with him. Axel, with a scowl, bends down and clutches Stevens around his throat. Axel lifts him up from the laying position into the air above him with a chokehold. He then spikes Stevens down to the mat, receiving a loud reaction in return!
COLE
What power! Even Stevens looked shocked after that move!
Chris rolls backward with the impact of the move, winding up right near the corner of Drek Stone and Sly Sommers. Stevens reaches out for a tag from either man, but they both jump down off the apron. With wide eyes, Stevens stares at Drek, feeling betrayed already by Drek’s escape.
COACH
Uh-oh. Could their alliance be falling apart already?!
CABOOSE
No way! Drek probably just lost his balance. Everything is fine!
This gives Axel the chance to grab Stevens by his hair and pull him off the mat, back to his feet. He lifts him up from behind - and drops him down to the mat with a back suplex! Stevens flops onto the mat after the move, clutching the back of his neck in pain. Sly extends his hand out to Axel, screaming for him to make the tag. Axel nods his head slowly, reaches out, and tags Sly Sommers in! The fans let out a loud cheer as Sly steps into the ring and stomps towards Chris Stevens.
CABOOSE
Well, I don’t like this.
COLE
It certainly does look like Sly came here to fight tonight!
Stevens tries his best to stand up as quickly as possible, but he’s just not fast enough. Sly grabs his head, jerks him up, and pushes him into the corner. Sly steps back and lets out a vicious chop across the chest of Chris Stevens!
“WOOOOOOOOO!”
Sommers steps back and unleashes another nasty chop across Stevens’s chest!
“WOOOOOOOOO!”
Sly grabs Stevens by his arm and irish-whips him into the corner near Crystal. Crystal slaps Chris on his shoulder, making her the legal person. As Stevens bounces back, Sly hooks him and brings him down to the mat with a northern lights suplex. He tries holding on for the cover, but the referee informs him that Stevens is not the legal man anymore. Sly immediately releases the bridge, stands up, and comes face-to-face with Crystal. The crowd begins stirring in anticipation as these two off-again on-again best friends stare down in the middle of the ring.
CABOOSE
Listen to this! Nobody is interested in this staredown! Absolutely nobody wants to see Crystal and Sly fight here!
COACH
Are you insane?! This crowd is going crazy! The match we never got to see at Dirty Deeds may finally happen right here, right now!
After a few seconds of staring, Crystal and Sly finally lock up in a grapple. Crystal quickly transitions out of it, trapping Sly in a side headlock. Sly rapidly pushes Crystal off his neck and into the ropes. She bounces off, runs back, and Sly leap-frogs right over her. She rebounds off the other side of the ropes, and Sly brings her down to the mat with a big hiptoss! Crystal hits the mat but immediately rolls back to her feet. Sly runs towards her, and Crystal brings him over with an arm drag. She tries locking him into an armbar, but Sly rolls forward and out of it with a forward somersault. He gets back up now, and this time she runs towards him. He jumps up and tries wrapping his legs around Crystal’s neck for a huricarana. However, Crystal breaks the grip and sends Sly falling down to the mat. She grabs his legs and tries setting him for the Crystalling!
COACH
And my girl is coming close to taking Sly’s team out early! Come on! You can do it!
The fans let out a mixed roar of cheers and jeers as Crystal crosses Sly’s legs and desperately tries to turn him over for her signature submission. Unfortunately, she makes the mistake of standing too close to Drek Stone on the apron. Seeing his partner squirm around the mat, Drek cocks back and hits Crystal with a brutal right hand to the face, sending her down to the mat and breaking up the hold.
COLE
Oh god! That was just uncalled for! Damn Drek Stone!
CABOOSE
Damn Drek Stone?! He was trying to help his tag partner! GPX does it, you get up and do a litte dance. Drek does it and you’re outraged?! You hypocrite!
With his legs free, Sly takes a deep breath, then begins making his way back up. Realizing what actually just happened, Sly begins screaming about the cheap shot Drek just gave Crystal. Drek reacts to Sly’s preachy attitude with the middle finger, receiving quite a good number of boos from the crowd. Sly nods his head for a moment, trying to deal with his anger in a calm manner, but he instead fires a nasty punch to Drek’s head, sending him off the apron and to the arena floor!
CABOOSE
Whoa! Whoa! What the hell are you doing, Sly?! THAT’S YOUR TAG PARTNER!
The crowd lets out a huge cheer and a massive chant soon begins to break out in the building.
“SLY SOMM-ERS!”
“SLY SOMM-ERS!”
The referee deems that the punch was actually a legal tag! Sly rolls out underneath the bottom rope, grabs a stunned Drek Stone, and rolls him into the ring. Drek uses the middle rope to pull himself up, letting out an impressive string of profanity towards Sly’s direction along the way. He turns around - and Crystal knocks him off his feet with a spinning heel kick! She quickly drops down for the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
And from the outside of the ring, Sly pulls Crystal off Drek’s body by her leg!
COACH
And Sly saves his team from an early elimination!
CABOOSE
Oh, please! Drek wouldn’t even have been in that position if it wasn’t for Sly! Either way, Drek was going to kick out anyway!
COACH
Sure he was.
Crystal looks at Sly surprisingly for a moment, but then the two smile, realizing just how high their competitive spirits actually are. Crystal’s grin suddenly grows wider as an idea comes to her. She delivers two stomps to the back of Drek’s head, then suddenly dashes towards her corner. She tags in Chris Stevens and rolls to the outside of the ring!
CABOOSE
Wait, what was that?
COLE
Why, it looks like Crystal has actually turned the tables on her partner.
The arena rises up into cheers once more as Stevens stares at Crystal with a frustrated look. He then slowly steps into the ring and glances at Drek, who is still trying to get back to his feet. Stevens allows Drek to stand up without pressure, giving him an opportunity to get his breath back. The two warily stare at each other for a second, not exactly sure what to do. Finally, Drek is the first to take action. He steps back -- and HURLS a compliment towards Stevens’s way!
DREK
You’ve been doing a great job tonight, Chris!
With a smile, Stevens pulls his arm back -- and SHOOTS it towards Drek with a handshake!
STEVENS
Thanks, Drek! Are those new tights? They look great!
Drek, clearly tired of these initial games, suddenly runs and bounces off the ropes. He dashes back towards Stevens AND -- shakes his hand politely.
DREK
Thank you. It amazes me just how nice a person you are!
The two lock eyes for a moment, still shaking hands.
CABOOSE
Now, THIS is the kind of competition I like to see. These men are straining to give it all to these fans here tonight! Did you hear those compliments?! Wow!
They suddenly run towards opposite sides of the ring. They each bounce off the ropes, run towards each other, hit one another with a shoulder block - and fall lifelessly to the mat?! The crowd lets out a mixture of laughs and groans as Drek and Stevens crumple to the mat, not daring to move from their horizontal position.
COLE
Oh, please. This is ridiculous!
CABOOSE
Are you serious? Those are two powerful men hitting each other with mighty shoulder blocks. I’m not surprised they knocked each other yet. They really are giving us their all here tonight!
Neither man moves for the cover, and neither man even makes any attempt to roll over. They just lay still on the mat, grimacing in pain. This inaction remains for a few seconds, with the fans screaming for both men to get back up - until Axel runs into the ring and stuns both men with a surprisingly hard splash! The building begins to echo with a new chant.
“AX-EL!”
“AX-EL!”
“AX-EL!”
Axel stands above both men defiantly with a grin on his face. Suddenly, Ragdoll runs into the ring and brings Axel down with a clothesline to the back of the head!
CABOOSE
There we go! It was only a matter of time before that happened!
COACH
What is it with all these partners turning on each other in this match?
CABOOSE
Maybe it’s because they all actually hate each other. You ever consider that?
Those previous cheers quickly turn into boos as Ragdoll grabs Drek by his waist and pulls him back to his feet. Drek stares at Ragdoll for a second with a shocked expression until Ragdoll extends his hand, clearly still remembering the partnership the two men have. Drek, looking quite relieved, shakes Ragdoll’s hand. Suddenly, Crystal runs towards both men, bringing them down with a double clothesline! The fans let out a massive cheer as Crystal focuses her attention towards Drek, hitting him with a nasty series of stomps.
COACH
Never turn your attention away from the Female Phenom! Never!
From the corner of her eye, Crystal spots Sly climbing up to the top turnbuckle. Once at the top, Sly turns his back to the ring, looking ready to strike. Suddenly, Crystal dashes up to the top rope, right behind Sly. She grabs him in a waistlock from beind - in position for a german suplex from the top rope!
COACH
Whoa! Crystal, what in the world are you doing?!
Suddenly, just when Crystal looks ready to jump, Ragdoll hits her with a massive blow to the back. He climbs onto the bottom turnbuckle and drapes Crystal’s legs over his shoulders in an electric chair drop position. Immediately after, Axel walks over and grabs Ragdoll’s right leg. Stevens, clutching at his ribs, walks towards Ragdoll and grabs his left leg. Both Axel and Stevens shift over and hook Ragdoll into a joint power bomb situation. The arena starts buzzing loudly as this collage of bodies await in the corner.
COLE
Oh my god! This doesn’t look good…..
Finally, Axel and Stevens run forward and fall - sending Ragdoll down with a power bomb! Crystal down with an electric chair drop! AND SLY SOMMERS DOWN WITH A TOP ROPE GERMAN SUPLEX! A huge “Holy Shit!” chant breaks out in the building as this demolition derby of bodies roll around in the ring.
“HO-LY SHIT!”
“HO-LY SHIT!”
“HO-LY SHIT!”
COLE
OH MY GOD!
COACH
THAT WAS JUST AMAZING!! I DON’T BELIEVE IT!!
CABOOSE
Well, hold on to your hats! Here comes something even MORE amazing!
Suddenly, out of nowhere, Crystal receives a top rope elbow drop into the chest - FROM DREK STONE!! The fans go ballistic with jeers as Drek seizes his opportunity and makes the cover!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
THREE!!!
NO!! STEVENS PULLS DREK STONE OFF AT THE LAST SECOND!!
Stunned, Drek rises to his feet and angrily stares into the eyes of Chris Stevens.
COACH
The Mega-Powers are ready to explode!
CABOOSE
NO THEY’RE NOT!! STOP SAYING THAT!!
The two begin jawing with one another until Axel steps forward, picks Drek Stone up, and spikes him into the mat with a MASSIVE spine buster! Stevens does his best to try to escape, but Ragdoll manages to pop up from the mat. Stevens runs forward -- and Ragdoll hits him WITH THE DEVIL DOLL!! HE HIT CHRIS STEVENS WITH THE DEVIL DOLL!!
COLE
This is over! If only Drek would make the cover!
Ragdoll picks up Drek’s body, carries him over near the ropes, drops him onto the mat, steps onto the apron, and tags himself in! He then walks over to Chris Stevens and makes the cover!
ONE!!!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
NO!! Crystal breaks it up with a baseball slide to the face of Ragdoll!
CABOOSE
Perhaps for the first time EVER, I’m happy to see Crystal!
Axel, despite considering Crystal to be a friend, doesn’t want her to ruin this opportunity for him. He picks her up off the mat and simply tosses her over the top rope by her hair. Seeing Sly make it to his knees, Axel runs over and gives him a boot to the face, sending him through the ropes and to the outside of the ring. Axel turns around to focus his attention back on the action in the ring -- and Ragdoll gives him a hard slap to the face!
“OOOOOOOOOOOOH!!”
The two men stare at each other angrily for a moment.
COLE
We are dangerously close to seeing a meltdown here!
Finally, through gritted teeth, Axel seethes at Ragdoll that this is not the time. He tells Ragdoll to pick up Stevens and hold him. Grudgingly, Ragdoll breaks his locked gaze with Axel and picks Stevens off the mat by his hair. He pins Chris’s arms behind him as Axel runs off the ropes! Axel runs towards Chris….but Stevens manages to break the grip and escape out of the way! But that doesn’t stop Axel! He runs forward at full-speed and HITS RAGDOLL WITH A VICIOUS SPEAR!!
CABOOSE
UH-OH!!
COLE
STEVENS GOT AWAY RIGHT AT THE LAST SECOND!!
Stevens falls warily to the mat as Ragdoll lays lifelessly on the mat. Meanwhile, all Axel can do is stare at Ragdoll for a second, then non-chalantly shrug his shoulders. On the apron, Drek notices that Stevens is laying right near him. He strains to reach forward -- but manages to tag himself in! He immediately runs forward to Axel and knocks him over the top rope with a clothesline! Drek falls to his knees and sees Ragdoll still laying on the mat. Crawling slowly, Drek finally makes it to Ragdoll! He lifts his arm up……and drapes it across Ragdoll’s chest!
COLE
Wait…..Drek has an alliance with Ragdoll too!
COACH
What are we seeing here?!
Both men ARE the legal men! The referee drops down to make the cover!
ONE!!!
TWO!!
THREE!!!
*DING! DING! DING!*
BUFFER
The team of AXEL and RAGDOLL have been ELIMINATED!!
COLE
And now we are down to four superstars battling it out for #6!
COACH
Boose, answer this question for me! Why would Drek turn on Ragdoll like that? Don’t they have an alliance?!
CABOOSE
That’s for this Sunday, Coach! To eliminate Axel! It had nothing to do with tonight! So you can just calm yourself! Everything is still fine!
COLE
Is it?
Holding his ribs painfully, Ragdoll moves onto his knees with an expression of anguish on his face. He glares at Drek for a moment, but then sees Axel standing up on the outside of the ring. With fury dancing in his eyes, Ragdoll immediately pushes the pain aside and charges underneath the bottom rope and towards Axel. The two men immediately start fist-fighting on the outside of the ring!
COLE
There was no doubt that it was going to come to this!
Ragdoll tries clawing at Axel’s eyes, but Axel gives him a hard shot to the jaw, causing him to fall onto the metal ramp. Axel picks Ragdoll up by his hair and tries dragging him up towards the entranceway. Along the way, Ragdoll knees Axel in the stomach, grabs him by the hair, and slams him face-first onto the steel! The referees groan as Ragdoll sits on top of Axel and starts hitting him with hard shots to the face.
COACH
Keep in mind, people - these two men will actually be meeting first in the Elimination Chamber!
COLE
That is going to be scary, let me tell you!
An army of officials and referees rush down the ramp to stop the onslaught. Meanwhile, in the ring and at ringside, all four remaining combatants stand and just watch the action ensuing in front of them. The officials finally manage to pull Ragdoll off of Axel and get him up the top of the ramp. Once they come close enough, Axel charges at him and knocks him down with a hard clothesline. This time, Axel gets on top of Ragdoll and delivers hard punches to his face!
COLE
THIS IS PANDEMONIUM! FOLKS, WHILE WE GET THIS SETTLED, WE’LL BE RIGHT BACK AFTER A COMMERCIAL BREAK!
CABOOSE
You said there wouldn’t be any more commercials!
COLE
I LIED!!
*COMMERCIAL*
COLE
Welcome back! During the commercial break (clips shown), we saw nearly the entire locker room, including Crystal and Drek Stone, have to stop what they're doing to pull Axel and Ragdoll apart! It was pure mayhem! As you can see here, they even accidentally struck some fans!
COACH
That's crazyness!
COLE
Exactly! Just think of what will happen with those two alone as the first two in the Chamber on Sunday! Back to the match!
COACH
We've got a four-way on our hands now!
As the ruckus from Axel and Ragdoll clears out, Chris struts into the ring cockily, knowing that it's empty. He poses arrogantly, not being able to see behind him, where Sly Sommers comes into the ring. Sly sneaks up, hooks Chris from behind, and drives him back with a bridging German Suplex!
1...
2...
Drek breaks it up! Stone quickly pulls Sly up and sends him off to the ropes with an Irish whip. Sommers comes off of the ropes and Drek goes for a powerslam! But, Sly hooks his leg around Drek's and rolls it into a small package!
1...
2...
Kickout!
Sly rolls to his feet...but gets sent to the outside when Crystal nails a big springboard missile dropkick to the back of his head! Crystal comes to her feet...but gets reeled in by Chris Stevens! He hooks her for a Russian legsweep, Drek comes off the ropes, and they hit a Russian legsweep/Yakuza kick double-team move! Chris goes for the cover...
...but Drek yanks him off! Chris comes to his feet, and the partners from last week start to argue! Drek and Chris start to shove each other back and forth! Drek then grabs Chris' arm and Irish whips him to the ropes. Stevens bounces off, ducks a clothesline by Drek and leaps on him, bringing him back with a crucifix!
1...
2...
Kickout!
Both competitors come to their feet and Stevens kicks Drek in the stomach. Chris then lifts Drek for a powerbomb, but Drek slips out of the back end. While that happens, you can kind of see Sly slip to the apron behind Chris. Chris turns around to face Drek, and ducks a punch. Just then, Drek gets hit with a great springboard lariat from Sly out of NOWHERE!
COLE
Didn't see that coming!
Sly comes up and Chris throws a punch at him. But, Sly hooks Chris' arm and spins him around by it. Stevens spins all of the way around and Sly lifts him for a slam...and swings it around to a sitdown uranage (Rock Bottom)! Sommers then sees that Drek Stone has rolled to the arena floor, and comes off of the ropes on the other side, obviously going for a dive. Crystal pops up and tries to spear Sly, but Sly leapfrogs her, keeps going, and hits an incredible tope suicida (dive through ropes) onto Drek!
CROWD
O-A-OAST! O-A-OAST!
Chris and Crystal both stumble up to their feet in the ring, and she kicks him in the stomach. She then puts him in position for some sort of powerbomb, but he gets out with a double-leg takedown. He then stomps her in the groin before strutting around, forgetting something crucial...
COLE
Um, Chris...she's not exactly a guy...
Stevens holds his groin in mock pain while she kips up behind him. The crowd starts laughing at him, as he thinks it's because he's funny. Chris then senses that something's up and turns around...right into a high dropkick that sends him over the top rope and to the floor! At that point, Sly's risen to his feet and pulls Drek up with him. Stevens almost landed on his feet on the fall, and is able to pull himself up with the guardrail quickly. Crystal grabs onto the top rope, leaps up, and hits a springboard plancha onto her three opponents!
COACH
YO~!
The crowd cheers loudly around them, as all four competitors crawl and roll around the floor in various forms of pain. As the referee's count gets to six, both Sly and Crystal roll into the ring. They pull themselves up with the ropes, both facing opposite directions. But, at once, they turn and face each other, realizing what's going on as they look around themselves...
COLE
You can see the flashbulbs go off here...the fans in attendance realize that whenever Sly and Crystal square off one-on-one in a wrestling ring, it's something special.
The atmosphere seems to pick up a lot more, as Sly gets a rhythmic clap going amongst the crowd to get everyone rev'd up. Both competitors then slowly stick a hand out before locking them together. They go to their other hand and cautiously complete the Greco-Roman knucklelock. They go shoulder-to-shoulder as Sly places his foot behind Crystal and trips her up, powering her down to the mat. Sly quickly switches to a keylock.
COACH
A constant strategy that Sly's been able to employ against Crystal is working over her left arm, as she cannot perform her Crystalling leglock or be able to escape the Cravateface with it weakened.
Crystal is unable to pull her arm out without hurting it even further, so she rolls backwards and back up to her feet. From there, she's able to easily pull her arm out from Sly. She goes for his legs, but he steps over her with one leg and spins back around, catching her off-guard when he hooks her arms around herself, setting her up for the Slyledriver (straitjacket piledriver)! He lifts her, but she pops out in mid-lift and lands on her feet. She goes for the spear and connects, but the ropes are right behind Sly, so he latches onto them to prevent the full impact!
COLE
What ring awareness by Sommers!
But, by doing that, Sly leaves himself open for Drek Stone to pull him out of the ring. As soon as his feet touch the floor, Drek delivers a stiff knee to Sly's groin, out of the referee's view. Crystal's distracted by this and is unable to see Stevens sneak into the ring, as he runs and attacks her with repeated forearms from behind, sending her down to the mat!
COACH
That was almost like accidental teamwork!
Chris pulls her up and slams her back down to the mat. Drek then climbs to the apron, and slingshots himself over the top rope to hit a splash on Crystal! Stone pulls her up, and both Drek and Chris send her off to the ropes with a double Irish whip. They then hit a double hiptoss, but catch her legs and bring her up and down hard with a double powerbomb! Chris turns around and sees Sly on the top rope, as he had been climbing since the double Irish whip. So, he backs up into the ropes, crotching Sly on the top turnbuckle! Chris then climbs to the second rope and shoves him back down to the concrete floor!
COLE
What a fall!
Drek pulls Crystal up and hits a snap suplex. Stevens then pulls her up and tells Drek to step aside. Chris then hooks her and hits a snap suplex of his own! We see Drek mouth, "Good one," before pulling Crystal up again and delivering a hard side suplex. Chris pulls her up and side suplexes her himself before kipping up and patting himself on the back. Drek pulls Crystal up, shoves her in a corner, and chops her LOUDLY in the corner! Chris walks over and chops her just as hard. Drek and Chris then take turns chopping Crystal.
COACH
It looks like we have a competition here between Drek and Chris...
Drek stops Chris before his eighth chop and tells him to go on the count of three....1.....2.....they both throw, but Crystal grabs both of their wrists to block. Crystal then does a forward roll and pulls them inward, causing them to knock heads and fall to the mat. Crystal gets up and runs. She comes off of the ropes and hits a flying headscissors on a stumbling Stevens. She gets up and has to immediately ducks a clothesline from Stone before reaching up to his head and bringing him down with a front-fall neckbreaker!
COLE
Nice burst of energy by Crystal!
Crystal grabs Stevens as he rises, hooks him, and suplexes him onto Drek! Crystal pulls Stevens up, lifts him on her shoulders, and hits a bridging Samoan Drop...

Kickout!
Crystal goes up top and launches off for a flipping senton...but Drek pulls Chris out of the way and Crystal crashes down to the mat hard! Drek quickly pulls her up, lifts her, and tosses her with a fallaway slam! Crystal then rolls to the floor while holding her back in pain. Drek comes to his feet and flexes his left bicep mockingly. What he doesn't see is Sly Sommers, back from his bad fall earlier, scaling up the ropes behind him. Drek turns around...and runs right into a flying bodypress from Sommers! He immediately goes into the lateral press with leg hooked...

Kickout!
Sly pulls Drek up and sends him off with an Irish whip. Stone comes off of the ropes and runs right into a HIGH back body drop! Sly turns around, and Chris throws his patented superkick at him! But, Sly catches the foot somehow and grounds him by tripping up his one leg left standing! Sly then traps Chris's arm and goes for the Cravateface! But, Drek immediately yanks him off!
COLE
That could have been it!
Drek pulls Sly up and hooks his arms. Stone then hits a beautiful butterfly suplex on the man who was his partner for half of the bout. Stevens, while shaking himself off, goes to the second rope and comes down with a fistdrop that connects to Sly's chest region. Stevens then pulls Sly up to his feet and lifts him for a side suplex. Stone grabs onto Sly's neck and they drop him with a side suplex/neckbreaker combo move! Right then, they both go for the pin...but bump heads while doing so!
COACH
I guess they might want to work out who's getting the pin if they're going to work together.
Drek and Chris both come up to their feet, and it looks as if they're cursing each other out. Drek and Chris then go back-and-forth with punches to each other's faces, obviously angry at each other. About twenty punches into their brawl, Drek stops Chris and says something to him...and they both come down on Sly with a double fistdrop!
COLE
I guess their disliking of Sommers is way more than their in-fighting could ever be!
COACH
If you weren't drunk Cole, that'd make sense.
Stone pulls Sly up and hooks him for a suplex. He then drapes Sly's feet over the top rope, and spins him around for a Gamebreaker (elevated spinning neckbreaker)! Stevens then pulls Sly up, grabs his head and jams Sly's face over his bent knee before popping up in one motion and hitting a float-over neckbreaker! Stevens goes for a cover...

Rope Break!
Just then, Crystal slides back into the ring. But, Drek grabs her and tosses her over the top rope and to the floor immediately. Drek then tells Chris to go up top. While Chris climbs the ropes, Drek puts Sly up on his shoulders in an electric chair. Chris then leaps off, looking to hit a Doomsday Device by connecting with a clothesline...but Sly ducks his head, causing Stevens to miss and crash down upon the mat! Sly then leans back and hits an incredible reverse rana on Drek Stone!
COLE
I wonder why no one ever did that to the Road Warriors?
Sly slowly climbs back to his feet, dazed and confused. He then grabs Drek's arm and goes for a La Magistral cradle, but right when he makes his twist around the arm, Stevens dropkicks him right in the face! Chris gets to his feet and yells "UP TOP!" before predictably and slowly climbing to the top rope. While he does so, Stone stumbles to his feet, not knowing where he is...before stumbling backwards into the ropes, accidentally crotching Chris!
COACH
Looks like we'll have no more little Chrises running around here...
COLE
Yeah, the forty-seven already running around here annoy me to no end!
Drek tries apologizing to Stevens, but Chris shoves him forcefully...causing him to fall back into a schoolboy from Sly!
1...
2....
Chris leaps off the top rope with one foot and crashes down upon Sly hap-hazardly to break it up. Chris then sets Sly aside and pulls up Drek. He hooks him for a revere DDT as Crystal climbs to the apron. She springboards to the top rope and hits Stevens with a springboard dropkick, causing him to bring Drek down with a reverse DDT when he falls!
COLE
Incredible move!
COACH
The applauding crowd seems to think so!
Crystal pins Stevens....

Crystal stands up and immediately follows it with a standing moonsault on Drek! She goes for another pin...

KICKOUT!
Crystal gets up, and immediately goes after Sly, who's standing up. She kicks him in the stomach before hooking his head. She then spins around in mid-air, using the ropes for extra spring, and hits a big tornado DDT! She then sees that Chris Stevens has stumbled to his feet, and she goes to kick him. But, he catches her foot. She hops around for a second before going for an enziguri. Chris ducks it, but her foot hits Drek Stone, who's standing beside Chris, right upside the skull!
COLE
Couldn't get all the pins down, but she hit a spare!
Crystal pops up to her feet, but Chris quickly pulls her in and hits a Russian legsweep, to which he floats right back into a pin with...

KICKOUT!
Chris pulls Crystal up and lifts her for a suplex. Just then, Sly grabs Chris and sends him down with an STO, causing the force of his suplex on Crystal to increase as he drops her! Sly goes for the pin on Stevens...

KICKOUT!
Sly immediately bypasses Chris and pulls Crystal up. He then hooks for for the Slyledriver, but out of nowhere, Drek Stone charges, leaps on Crystal's back with one foot, and uses that as a springboard to connect with a Shining Wizard-esque knee to Sly's face! Drek goes for the cover on Sly...

Stevens breaks it up! He pulls Drek up and hits a gutwrench suplex. Chris goes for a pin...

Crystal breaks it up! Stone rolls away as she applies a camel clutch to Stevens. Sly Sommers comes to his feet as this is happening. Sommers comes off of the ropes...and flips over Crystal's head while holding onto her chin, causing both Crystal and Chris' heads to be snapped back! Sly then pulls Crystal up...and gives her the Italian Salute?!?! He hooks her head and drops her with a HUGE Stonecutter!
COLE
He just hit Drek's finisher!
Sly kips up, obviously driven by something. He turns around...right into a superkick from Drek himself!
COACH
That's Chris Stevens' patented superkick!
Drek gives Sly the Italian Salute...but then backs up into a rejuvenated Chris Stevens, who hooks Drek's head and drops him with Sly's One Hit Wonder (Last Rites/Testdrive)! He goes for the cover...
1...
2....
Crystal shoves him off! But, she's still hurt from the Stonecutter, and therefore cannot capitalize. Chris pulls her up himself and hooks her for a DDT. But, Sly gets up and starts forearming Chris in the back to break it up. Stevens turns around...and walks right into an STO! Sly comes up at the same time Drek's up to spin Sly around and forearm him in the face!
COLE
OOOOH! That didn't look pretty!
Sly stumbles backwards a couple of steps...and then charges forward with a forearm to Chris's face! Drek holds his face for a second before firing back with one of his own! Sly and Drek go back and forth with stiff forearms to the face, each coming harder and faster than the last. While this is happening, Chris Stevens comes to his feet while holding his back. Chris then charges at them...and brings Drek over with a flying headscissors...whose momentum sends Drek right in between Sly's legs, as he hooks the arms across Drek's chest for the Slyledriver!
COACH
WOW!
But, Chris quickly comes up and kicks Sly in the back to break it up. Stevens turns Sly around and kicks him in the stomach. Stevens then comes off of the ropes, probably going for a spinning neckbreaker...but Crystal comes out of NOWHERE with a SPEAR!
COLE
She took him out of his boots!
She goes for the cover...

Drek breaks it up! Stone pulls her up and hooks her for a side suplex...but Sly comes behind Drek and hooks him for a side suplex of his own. They both lift...DOUBLE SIDE SUPLEX!
COLE
Talk about a double-decker!
Stevens slowly rolls over and lies down on all three...

Kickout!
Sly dazily rises, pulling Drek up to his feet with him. Sly then lifts Stone for a tombstone piledriver. But, Drek slips out to the side and kicks Sly in the stomach. He then hooks Sly's head for the Stonecutter. However, Chris Stevens comes charging at them...and clotheslines Drek so hard that both men go flying over the top rope! Sly and Crystal are the only two left standing in the ring!
COLE
It's CRUNCH TIME!
Sly and Crystal charge at each other and begin to exchange forearms in the center of the ring. But, Sly stops the exchange of face strikes quickly by forearming Crystal hard in the mid-section. He then grabs the back of her head and begins to let loose with stiff shin kicks to the bridge of her nose as she's bent over! After six kicks, he hooks her head and goes for the One Hit Wonder. But, she kicks upward with a knee to the top of his skull, enabling her to twist it back around to a reverse DDT position. However, Sly connects with two upward punches to her jaw, and turns it back around...ONE HIT WONDER!
COLE
That should be IT!
Sly kips up and yells loudly, causing the already-JACKED crowd to get even more into it! He then goes after her legs. He grapevines them around his own, looking to be going for a sharpshooter...but she repeatedly makes a kicking motion with both legs, shoving him off of her!
Meanwhile, on the outside, Chris ducks a punch from Drek and applies a sleeperhold! He hops on Drek and applies the bodyscissors, bringing him down much quicker. He pushes down hard on Drek's nerve...and Drek's out cold within twenty seconds of the hold being applied.
In the ring, both Crystal and Sly are on their feet. Sly charges at her with a clothesline, but she ducks. Crystal turns around, hooks Sly, and drops him on the back of his neck with a release German suplex! She gets up and grabs his legs, grapevining them around her own in an obvious attempt for the Crystalling! But, she can't get him turned over! While this struggle is happening, Chris Stevens is scaling the ropes...and crashes down with his signature frog splash on Sly!
COACH
It's all over for Sly!
Sly's out cold, as Crystal turns him over for the Sharpshooter portion of her finishing hold. But, Chris kips up quickly and connects with the SUPERKICK~! as soon as she turns it over! He falls on top of her and hooks the leg...

THREEEEEEE!
BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of the contest and the FINAL entrant in this Sunday's Elimination Chamber...CHRRRRRRRISSSS SSSSTEEEEEVEEENNNS!
COLE
What just happened?
COACH
It looked as if Chris Stevens has taken out all of his competition on Sunday, and has gained the number-six entry slot in the Elimination Chamber!
COLE
I don't think anyone saw this coming! I mean, Chris Stevens is a skilled competitor. But, when you read off the names involved, I don't think anyone expected Chris to win this!
COACH
Well, he just beat the other five guys, including putting three of his five opponents out personally. I think Chris's Vegas odds on winning the World Title just got a whole lot more even!
(Cut to shot of Chris with his hand in victory, as he walks backwards up the ramp with a huge smile on his face.)
COLE
It was a hard-fought bout by all, but Stevens seemed to be the best tonight! Could this be the ending to this Sunday's Thanksgiving Star Wars?!?!?!
COACH
Remember, call your local cable or satellite operator and ask for OAOAST Thanksgiving Star Wars 2004 BY NAME! Brock Auustin to come out of retirement to face Panther! The GPX and Thrillogy COLLIDE! And of course, the HYOOOOGE Elimination Chamber for the vacant OAOAST WORLD TITLE! If tonight's any evidence, it'll be CHRIS-mas a month early this Sunday night! See you on SUNDAY!!!!!
