Bruce Blank

LOL so "not writing matches" = Main eventer? that only works if you're dating the owner's son

PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF I roll my eyes in your general direction for your examples of "misuse" *rolls eyes* they all pale and fade to nothing compared to the tale of Terry "Red Rooster" Taylor now THAT'S mis-use nothing since has even come close - just cause "Poor Shelton" seems to be the "SmartMark" thing to say right now.

Man this is the time of the looooooooong title reigns isn’t it? I just realized that we’ve had no title changes in forever and when we return to action on January 4th we’ll have the following title reigns SWF World Champion: ELM – 106 days (second only to a reign of 127 days… by ELM as well) SWF Tag-Team Champions: TKO – 58 days (which is the SHORTEST reigning champions of all active champs) SWF International title: Jay Hawke – a staggering 205 days come Jan 4th (Longest by far) SWF Cruiserweight Title: JJ Johnson – 142 record breaking days (22 more than Spike’s monster reign) SWF Ultraviolent champion: Bruce Blank – 124 days (2nd only to Wildchild at 138 days) Shall we start betting on which title will change hands and how many months from now it’ll happen?

One word Wow What else can I say? and I have one wish for 2006: Wildchild Vs El Luchador Magnifico - title or not isn't important but I want to see that battle Congrats to JJJJJJ as well, hell of a match - glad you didnt' bring it like that for Genesis kudos to those that showed

About 1000 words from being finished I think, which means I'm on track to wrap this up by tomorrow morning Then just 10 rounds of editing

two words Aw some! so it is described - so it shall be written by this American Infidel

HMMM I wonder how a Saudi crowd reacts compared to a US crowd would they be decidedly anti American? Or maybe just react strongly to anyone who gets all jingostic and anti muslim *ponders*

I couldn't agree more - it hit all the right notes, pushed the established matches and provided some great action one of the best shows in a long time. Thumbs up... KENTA style!

Because that is wrong maybe? since I said Manson may have edited something I wrote. Now I'm not certain cause I don't remember all the details of what I wrote - but I think Manson tightened some of my writing... either that or I've lucked out somewhat on editing my own stuff

That was quite an excellent match... KENTA STYLE!! I can see how it was a close call, next time it may just come out to your advantage instead *thumbs up*

I'm cool with the mini-promo show

yeah Manson wrote a good bit of it - it wasn't a 50/50 split but then again from the read through I think he also did some gramma editing on my part and I hope everyone enjoyed their presents

Oh man now they're REALLY in trouble. They referred to his past - yes let's sue them for stating a FACT GRRRRRRRRRRRR!! how utterly pathetic

Sure chose last show against me to put in a great match instead of this week

Well no one else seems to be starting one of these so here we go The opening promo Chris Card rips on people for not knowing what their t-shirts say because it’s in a foreign language Coming from a Brit that’s kinda ironic, I mean them ripping ANYONE for not being able to talk or read a different language when they can’t even speak their own language I mean Gordon Bennet Gov’nor! A heel promo that says “I’m done with C.I.” and that gets Card a lot of heel heat in preparation for TKO being some of the most over faces on the card later on tonight … yeah it’s Tweener logic, I don't question it. Jade Dragon Vs Manson Vs Zyon The Sonic… I mean Unique Youth shows us all that he’s quite, quite, quite good with a good read and a victory that was probably uncontested if we take history into account. Another chapter in the Bruce/Akira feud As the Divine Wind runs into the man he injured in his debut match, I’ll leave the comments at that since I’m part of the angle Spike Vs The Masked Crusader Wow 2 shows – 2 wins And what 750 words combined between the two matches? Color me totally unimpressed, but hey he moves on to face JJJJJJ… wait just 3 Js in the next round of the CFC Akira Vs ??? Awright another mystery opponent dealie, they’re always great – they always deliver They deliver…. “Natural Born Killer” Josh Tupper? Erm… no clue who he is, but I suspect that Akira actually gave him much more credit in the match than he ever got when he was active JJJ Vs Landon Sadly the outcome wasn’t in doubt as Landon took a hit to the laptop not that that detracts from JJJ’s writing skills as they are top notch. Good use of the “Pure Wrestling” rules from a guy on a major roll. Bruce Vs Akira Angle part 2 Well part 2 of the night anyways And did you think the whole Akira/Toshiaki Taue meeting backstage wasn’t leading somewhere? Again can’t comment. ELM Vs TORU Vs Hawke Vs Stryke And yup there is the face reaction – oh to be a tweener I tells ya. About half way through the match I figured out who wrote it – the number of *Whams*and *Bams* gave it away But still to out perform both ELM and Jay Hawke is quite a feat. Wild Vs Dangerous angle a slow burn explodes!! After being beaten up 2 shows in a row WC takes it to the ring and calls out Johnny – with some physicality to follow it’s on for the PPV!! Which I can’t wait for Main Event time: Cage match Max wins… dang but hey at least now I don’t have to figure out how a lone (smelly) wolf like Bruce would find a partner so I’m alright with it Even if I don’t like to lose (who does?) but good job Max *thumbs up* Generally a really good show pushing Akira/Bruce and WC/Dangerous for the PPV and… erm…. I give up, what else?

Hence the reason I tend to use a lot of them I mean what better way to do this or this or even Other than maybe writing a match... which reminds me

Really? I didn't know that Considering I just commented that your heavy reliance on sound effects gave away the ending to me I don't see how there was anything in there that needed to be defended or that you needed to justify anything by pointing out that you've won and lost the World title 3 times

Oh and consider the opening promo called Bruce is in a giving mood

so what? it's either the day the card is posted or the day it's due so it's not a problem unless you're one of those "Let's do this at the last moment" types

Bruce & Manson... I can see the logic behind that teaming. A non-Storm related question for those who may know this. will there be the traditional 9 TV shows after the x-mas break before the ClusterF*ck? (feud planning purposes) and when does the x-mas break end in SWF?

I shall be looking forward to that like a person who's really got something to look forward to then Spike-a-rooni

Well it WAS a major rush job (Damn you work!) and well on the bright side I don't have to figure out where the heck to get a tag-team partner so it's certainly a result I can live with good stuff Maxie ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Smarkdown returns from it’s final commercial break with promises of an uninterrupted blood bath in the main event as we see the ring crew putting the finishing touches on erecting the solid steel cage around the ring. “Ah the mighty steel cage” Pete begins in his best, booming “NFL Films” voice “The Blue Bars of Doomis an unforgivable mistress. What will happen when two titans clash within the confines of these steel walls?” “Erm Pete??” “Who will survive as the metallic trap springs shut and encases two combatants who have but one option – to fight” “Pete – have you been in my tequila again?” King asks as Pete sits there with a straight face and rattles off one steel cage cliché after another. But before Pete can respond the lights in the arena are turned off, as they often tend to be for someone’s ring entrance – after approximately 5 point 27 seconds (rough estimate) Max King’s familiar voice informs us all that THE KING... HAS... RETURNED! “I didn’t even know I had left?” The Suicide King quips as his Saliva’s Superstar kicks in *FWOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!* *FWOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!* *FWOOOOOOOOOOOOSH!* ”Now has come the day that I take the lead and I make you follow. Toast the champagne cause I came for greed and not for tomorrow.” *FWOOOSSSH!!* *FWOOOSSSH!!* *FWOOOSSSH!!* A brilliant gold fireworks display brings the crowd to their feet as “the Icon” Max King steps into the spotlight with a confident smile. The generally positive reaction Max is getting increases the moment Kelly steps into the spolight next to her man looking gorgeous as always. ”If it feels good then it feels good and I do it all day. You want me to play you best bring your brain, you best bring your money. ” Max quickly heads down the ramp looking at the 15 foot tall blue steel cage he is about to climb into. For a moment he stops and looks at the camera, then he shrugs and says “Sometimes it’s not easy being me” knowing that he’s got quite a war ahead of himself tonight. ”Yay! Make me a superstar. Yay! No matter who you are. ” “The following match is a cage match and the winner will be deemed the number one contender for the tag-team titles with the option to pick his own partner!” Funyon bellows out to overpower Saliva. “Introducing first from Philadelphia Pennsylvania, weighting in at a trim 250 pounds –“The Icon”!! MAX… KIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!” Kelly and Max stop by the steps to the ring and Max gives his main woman a long deep kiss that makes 90% of the guys jealous (although out of those guys 15% are jealous that Kelly gets to kiss Max and not the other way around). Kelly swiftly removes Max’s royal blue vest and his high priced shades before the man known before “Wrestling’s Superman” walks up those 4 steps and enters the cage. “Last Smarkdown Max King was actually on the same side as his opponent here tonight as they earned the right to a tag-team title shot” Pete explains, giving the fans at home just a little information on the upcoming match. “Yeah but Maxie here had a problem with Bruce’s cheating and simply said he wasn’t teaming with him any more” King points. “Maybe it was Bruce’s body odor?” Pete quips “Or maybe Kelly got all hot for Bruce – does it matter? Either way we’re going to see a nice brutal Cage match tonight! I for one can’t wait” Suicide King says as Lynyrd Skynyrd’s Southern rock classic kicks in WHITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TRASH!! WHITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TRASH!! Funyon raises his voice once more to try and speak over the derogatory chants directed at Bruce Blank. “And his opponent, from the Dirty Tornado Trailerpark in Alabama, weighing in at 295 pounds. He is the reigning SWF ULTRAVIOLENT CHAMPION BRUCEEEEEEEEEE BLAAAAAAANK!!” The hostility doesn’t seem to faze Bruce as he walks out, in fact he seems to be enjoying himself quite a bit tonight, maybe it’s the prospects of stepping into a steel cage, maybe it’s the golden opportunity he’s been given, maybe it’s his 5 pre-match beers kicking in – hard to tell. ”So, don't ask me no questions And I won't tell you no lies So, don't ask me about my business And I won't tell you goodbye” “It’s almost as if this song was written about Bruce” King ponders as he pays attention the lyrics for the first time. Bruce has left the barbwire Ultraviolent title in the back, it’s not on the line tonight after all but the blood spattered jeans is an eerie reminder of the type of matches Bruce prefers. Once he’s down by the cage he grabs the middle section of it and begins to shake it back and forth to test it’s strength. Then he rounds the corner and stops on the ring steps to raises his hands in the air as he smiles. “If I didn’t know any better I’d say Bruce was looking forward to this match” Pete says as he watches Bruce climb the last 2 steps and then enter the ring. “That’s a surprise to you?” King asks, surprised that Pete is surprised that a man who wears a “Too violent for Lockdown” T-Shirt is looking forward to a brutal match. Max paces back and forth in his corner as the door is locked behind Bruce with a heavy chain used to ensure that no one can escape that way, the only way out now is over the 15 foot high steel walls. Even though the cage isn’t Max King’s preferred battle ground he still looks confident, borderline cocky about the entire match, after all he IS the superior wrestler in the cage and HE was the one that won their tag-team match. “Alright don’t just stand there, hit each other!! Throw each other against the cage!!” the Suicide King implores Max and Bruce as they just stand there and talk trash to each other without either of them making any offensive moves. “Maybe they decided to settle this with a Steel Cage Debate instead of a match?” Pete quips as the two men exchange heated words in the cage. Finally Max says something that just pisses Bruce off to a degree where he lunges as the Icon to take him down and take him down hard. But Max King anticipated the move and like a highly skilled bullfighter he ducks under Bruce’s arms and then pushes Bruce in the back as the big man passes him by. *KRESH!!* The added momentum sends Bruce face first into the cage as Max had anticipated. The moment the big man staggers backwards after having his head and shoulder rammed into the cage Max attacks him again with a high knee to the back of the Ultraviolent champion *KRESH!!* Once again Bruce’s head and shoulder are rammed into the cage with force. “Max is playing it smart Pete, he’s letting the cage do the dirty work for him” King says with a smug, superior “I figured his game plan out” voice. “The Icon always was a thinking man’s wrestler, you know he’s got a plan in mind” Pete points out in response. Bruce is naturally a bit dazed after having his head rammed into the steel bars twice in under a minute and is unable to escape a picture perfect flying elbow that Max lands as he leaps through the air and knocks Bruce down. The Icon quickly rolls with the momentum and up on his feet for a quick pose and a smile, he’s got the big man right where he wants him after all. “I wouldn’t pose just yet if I was Max” Pete admonishes the Icon. “Oh you’re such a wet blanket Brain Clogger! He’s got Bruce where he wants him, he’s entitled to strut his stuff” King replies annoyed at Pete’s buzzkilling tendencies. Max knows he’s got the advantage, but he also knows that he can’t give Bruce an opening or he’ll end up a bloody pulp – it’s happened too many times to too many opponents already and Max knows it. With Bruce still down Max grabs the big man’s leg and stretches it, then he places his own foot on Bruce’s thigh and flips backwards hyper extending Bruce’s leg with a smooth Leg Snapper. “If Bruce can’t stand up he can’t climb the cage! I wouldn’t be surprised if that’s Max’s plan” Pete says. “Well Duh!” is the only response he gets from his co-commentator. With the leg already hurting Max zeroes in on Bruce’s left leg and starts to work it over with a series of kicks before he drags the big man over to the ropes and then drapes Bruce’s leg over the bottom rope. Max puts a foot on the middle rope and uses it to give him some height for a stomp aimed right at Bruce’s knee, then a second one, followed by a third one before Max’s ego compels him to strike another quick pose. “You can tell Max has thought this match through, a lot of people would just head straight for the cage and climb up only to be foiled in their first 50 attempts by a fresh opponent, but not Max” Pete says, very impressed with Max’s game plan. “Well he better get to it soon, this is too much like a normal match for my likings.” King grumbles as he watches Max work over Bruce’s leg. With Bruce on the canvas holding his knee in pain Max decides that it’s time to leave the cage and starts to climb up the cage wall to quite a positive reaction. At first Bruce isn’t even aware of Max climbing the cage and doesn’t spot him until the Icon is about half way up the cage and getting closer to the top each second. “He could go all the way!!” Pete says excitedly Bruce gets to his feet and hobbles across the ring just as Max puts his hand on the top bar on the cage and then begins to drag himself up to the top. Knowing that he’s not fast enough to climb up and grab Max Bruce decides to grab the side of the cage with both hands instead to shake it back and forth. Bruce shakes it like the Warrior shakes a ring rope, moving the top part of the cage back and forth a good 3 feet as Max holds on for dear life. Then with one last mighty tug Bruce pulls the cage towards the center of the ring with enough force to dislodge Max King and send him flying off the cage, crashing uncoordinatedly against the canvas. “WHAT POWER!!” King points out “Maybe that’s why he tested the cage on the way in? To see how much it moves at the top” Pete surmises as he thinks back to the beginning of the match. “I wouldn’t put it past him” With Max down Bruce has a chance to shake some of the pain from his leg, get the blood flow back after the punishment Max inflicted. The Trailerpark Messiah notices that Max’s position leaves the Icon’s right arm and hand very vulnerable as it’s stretched out across the canvas. Bruce places one of his cowboy boots right on top of Max’s outstretched hand and then brings the other one down hard on Max’s bicep “He could break someone’s arm with that type of kick” Pete says all indignant. “No someone’s arm – Max’s arm” King points out as Bruce kicks the arm once more. After the two kicks Bruce bends down and pulls the protective elbow pad off Max’s right arm and then tosses it out of the cage before stomping on Max’s arm once more, this time right on the elbow joint. “Max isn’t the only one who can play it smart Pete! Not by a long shot” “I wouldn’t usually put the words “Smart” and “Bruce Blank” together in a sentence, but I got to admit it he’s going about this the right way” Pete reluctantly admits. Bruce follows up his game plan by dragging Max over to the cage and then pull Max’s unprotected right arm through the cage before using the steel bar to help him arm bar Max’s arm. “THE ARM BAR!! OH MY GOD!!” King yells out as he starts to jump up and down over the most explosive move in wrestling “I guess I was wrong, he does know an arm bar from a crowbar” Pete just remarks as his co-commentator calms down again. Bruce twists the arm backwards, trying to bend it over the metal in a very unnatural position to inflict a serious amount of pain on his opponent. After a moment of two of twisting agonizing pain Bruce swiftly kicks the cage in an attempt to separate Max’s arm from the rest of his body, fortunately for both Max and the fans in the front row Max’s arm stays attached to his shoulder. “I’m surprised at Bruce, I half expected him to go in there and just try to squeeze Max through the bars of the cage” Pete says with surprise. A split second after those words have left Pete’s mouth Bruce picks up Max and presses him over his head with a vicious smile before throwing the Icon head and face first into the cage. “You spoke too soon Brain Clogger!!” King points out much to Pete’s chagrin. After Max’s body collides with the steel cage it drops straight down to the canvas, scraping Max’s back across the bars as he drops down behind the ring ropes. With Max in the perfect position Bruce seizes the momentum and begins to stomp away on Max’s chest and arm as the Icon is pressed back against the cage with each kick stomp Bruce lands. “That’ll teach me to keep my big mouth shut” Pete comments as Bruce makes him eat his words from earlier. “Oh we can only hope and pray Pete!” King fires back in a very serious tone. After about 10 kicks or so Bruce drags Max back into the center of the ring and then lifts him up high in the air with both hands wrapped about the Icon’s wind pipe as he raises Max off the ground. With Max raised in the air he’s putting both his own weight and Max’s weight on his legs which are already aching from being worked over earlier. Add to that a stray kick from Max that nails Bruce right in the knee cap and it’s no wonder Bruce has to drop the choke hold before his leg gives out. “Did you see that kick to the knee? Always thinking” Pete says “You’re saying that’s intentional? Oh get ever so real” King fires back at his co-commentator to dismiss any notion of the kick being premeditated. Bruce quickly gets in position behind Max, motioning for him to get up as he waist for just the right moment to strike once more. The second Max is up and about to turn around Bruce runs at him and raises his massive right boot to plant it upside Max’s head. Having spotted out of the corner of his eye Max King was prepared for the move and quickly turns the big boot into a knee twisting, joint wrenching leg drag that sends all of Bruce’s 295 pounds hurtling through the air to the canvas. YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!! “The fans have clearly picked Max’s side tonight” Pete points out in case the viewers at home didn’t realize what the cheering signified. “So what Pete? This isn’t a popularity contest you know? It’s not about who they cheer for the most, it’s about who can whip the other guy’s ASS!!” King explains. Max knows that he only has a limited window of opportunity before Bruce regains his senses and makes the best of it by leaping over Bruce’s head with both hands getting a handful of hair to snap Bruce’s head forward in one smooth motion. The backlash from the move sense Bruce flipping over backwards, onto his knees against the ropes where he tries desperately to shake off the cobwebs “It really doesn’t look good for Bruce right now King, he may be out of a title shot” Pete says. “A title shot? It’s much worse than that, this is Bruce’s type of match – he’s the champion of these brutal matches, if he loses it’s a slap in the face of his pride” King points out. Max seems to have an idea as he quickly drags Bruce through the ropes and then brings him to his feet in the 2 food gap between the ropes and the cage. Max turns his back to Bruce and takes a few steps away as the cocky grin returns to his face, then he quickly whips round 180 and drop kicks Bruce square in the chest sending the big man into the cage. *KRESH!!* Max holds up two fingers in the air as if to ask the crowd if he should do it again YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!! With a smirk Max quickly drop kicks the dazed Bruce once more with the same result as the first time *KRESH!* “I don’t think there is anything but the ropes holding up Bruce right now” Pete speculates as Bruce looks like he’s out on his feet. *KRESH!* “A THIRD DROP KICK!!” King yells out as Max once again connects with Bruce’s chest. “He’s an expert at using the ring and the cage to his advantage, he’s been really impressive here tonight” Pete says as Max King struts confidently in the ring. After a quick strut in the ring Max grabs Bruce by the hair and drags him over the 2nd rope into the ring where Bruce just collapses on the canvas, seemingly out cold from the punishing impact against the cage. With Bruce down Max wastes no time in heading over to one of the corners of the cage where he begins to climb the bars. “MAX IS GOING UPSTAIRS!!” Pete yells out like an excited school girl as Max King begins to climb up the corner turnbuckles. “Will he stop at the top rope or is he heading for the exit” King ponders. “He’s climbing the cage!!” Pete replies as Max starts to climb up the side of the cage as well. Once he’s up on top he stops for a moment, looks at the downed Bruce Blank in the center of the ring, then he smiles the confident, cocky smile that is Max King’s trademark. “I don’t like the look of this King” Pete says as Max climbs up and balances on the top of the cage looking down at Bruce. “He’s not… “ King says, not daring to finish the though Max leaps off the top rope “HE’S GONNA!!” Pete confirms as Max King flies through the air, elbow out for a cage height elbow drop. *BAM!!* At the last moment Bruce rolls to his right to escape the point of the elbow but he still gets struck in the back of the head with Max’s boots as the Icon’s already hurt right elbow suffers even more damage as it hits the canvas at high speed. “Man that’s GOT to hurt” Pete says stating the obvious. “He could have left! He could have gotten out of the damn cage and won the match!” King points out as both Max and Bruce are on the canvas in a world of pain. Max slowly gets up onto his knees while cradling his right arm against his body, trying to protect it from further damage as the Icon gets to his feet. Max looks at Bruce who’s still on the ground holding the back of his head from where Max’s boots struck him, then he looks at the top of the cage and heads for the corner once more. “I hope he learned his lesson, get out while you can” King says as Max climbs up the turnbuckles, although it’s slow going since he only uses his left arm for support. “He won’t leap off the top again, no way no how King” Pete says as Max reaches the top rope and balances on it as he tries to get a good grip on the cage. “Looks like his escape won’t be quite that easy” the Suicide King replies as they watch Bruce get to his feet and stagger over towards the corner as well. Bruce reaches up and grabs Max by the trunks a split second after the Icon puts his hand on the top of the corner joint of the cage. A moment later Bruce has managed to climb up on the top turnbuckle behind Max as the Icon tries his best to escape Bruce’s grip to no avail as Bruce clings on like a limpid. With one arm around Max’s waist and the other supporting the leg Bruce lifts Max King up in the air for a top rope back drop that stuns the crowd. *BAM!!* “How did Max end up on top” King asks all confused as Bruce hits the canvas with Max on top of him instead of the backdrop that Bruce had intended. “Let’s take a look at just how that backfired on Bruce” Pete replies as he’s not quite sure what happened either. Since both Bruce and Max are down in the ring from the fall off the top rope the image on the screen switches to an instant replay of the move. In slow motion we see how Bruce lifts Max up in the air, pulling his hands off the top of the cage as Bruce drops backwards. As Bruce falls backwards we see Max King twist his body in such a way that he ends up in a cross body block position and lands on top of Bruce as the two men slam to the canvas “So Max reversed the backdrop at the last moment, man I didn’t even see that the first time round” Pete says, gushing over Max’s flash of brilliance in the ring. “Can we back the footage up once more?” King asks. “Why?” “Well because I saw something else – and neither Max nor Bruce are up yet anyway.” The footage is repeated, but the second Bruce has Max raised in the air, a split second before the Icon twists his body, King yells out “Pause it!!” “Do you see that? Bruce’s knee buckled under him” King points out as the image clearly shows. “Well I’ll be damned, Max weakened the leg more than we thought” Pete replies as the frozen frame on the screen is replaced with a shot of the ring where both Max and Bruce are slowly getting back up. Since Bruce took most of the brunt Max is up quicker and moves behind Bruce with his arms raised in the air signalling for the Iconizer Choke lock. The second he moves in and begins to lock on the Kajihajime Bruce swings his elbow backwards and makes bone on flesh contact with Max King’s most private of parts. “Right on the Mommy/Daddy button!” Pete yelps out in the kind of sympathy pain most men get when they see a guy get hit in the nads. “Dirty… but effective” King says in an approving tone. Another back elbow to the groin and Max is on his knees, doubled over as he curses out Bruce and his entire family tree way back to the monkeys. With Max so effectively put down Bruce finally makes his own move for the cage, climbing the ropes while clinging on to the bars. The combination of exhaustion, a bad leg, slippery boots and the damage Bruce has taken so far slows the climb down to a crawl almost, allowing Max time to recover and check that everything is still where it’s supposed to be before he gingerly gets back up. “I wonder if you can claim “squished nuts” on your workman’s comp forms” King ponders as Max grabs Bruce by the pant leg to stop him from climbing much further. “Ask Max after the match” Pete replies without getting the joke. With one hand on Bruce, holding on to prevent the big man from climbing any further Max manages to drag himself to the top rope on sheer willpower and determination. Once he’s up on the top turnbuckle as well the two combatants exchange a series of lefts as they both use their right hands to cling on to the cage and not fall off the top rope. “Don’t go fist to fist with Bruce, he’s too powerful for that” Pete warns “OH YEAH!!” the Suicide King yells out as Bruce grabs Max by the hair and slams him against the cage head first. With Max clinging to the cage just to stay up Bruce grips the top bar and drags his massive body over the edge of the cage, gingerly placing his foot on one of the bars to prevent himself from falling the 15 feet to the ground. The crowd boos like crazy as Bruce edges closer and closer to victory as he slides his entire body over the top of the cage. Bruce climbs down one rung, but as soon as he stretches his leg out for the next bar Max shakes his cobwebs enough to reach over the top of the cage and reach down to grab Bruce by the shirt and the back of his long mullet. “DENIED!!” Pete yells out as Max King blocks Bruce’s decent “You pessimist, until he’s back in the cage he’s got a good chance of winning” King fires back at his partner. Bruce tries to tear loose from Max’s grip but only manages to pull his shirt up around his throat giving Max even more leverage as he pulls up on the 295 pounder dragging him up inch by inch towards the top of the cage once more. After quite a struggle Max finally manages to drag Bruce up so high that he can drape his opponent’s throat over the top bar and start the choke him out. The second he feels the steel against his throat Bruce begins to freak out and thrash with his arms and kicking with his legs to free himself. In order to keep the choke hold on Max drapes his right leg over Bruce’s head and hooks his boot under one of the bars to keep the hold locked on. “He’s always thinking in the ring… or cage… whatever!” King says “Through out this match he’s been able to use his surroundings to his advantage, he’s wrestled as a smart a match as you possibly can” Pete follows up. With the leg locked in Bruce has no means of escape, no matter how much he tries to fight against it Bruce’s air ways are cut off by the steel bar. After choking Bruce out for a minute or so Max finally unhooks his leg, reaches over and grabs Bruce by the back of his jeans and heaves the big man over the top rope, flipping him inside the cage once more. Bruce is unable to block the move, but instead of flipping to the ground he manages to hold on to the cage by one arm and ends up sitting on the top rope, dangling from his right hand as he gasps for air. “This could be Max’s opening! Over the top!! OVER THE TOP!!” Pete yells out as Max straddles the top of the cage “Yeah you certainly are Pete” King adds. The crowd begins to cheer as Max lifts his other leg over the top of the cage and begins to climb down towards the floor. The confident grin that was on Max’s face earlier in the match returns as he’s now only 6 or so feet from the ground, only 6 or so feet from victory. Max is inches away from leaping off the cage when Bruce reaches through the bars and quickly pulls Max forwards ramming his head into the cage. “Oh so damn close!!” Pete says excitedly as this match teeters on the brink of ending “Bruce isn’t ready to give it up just yet, he’s not ready to let Max take the victory!!” King fires back getting quite into the action as well. Max isn’t able to leap off the cage as Bruce has a good hard grip on his hair and he doesn’t want to get a bald spot to win the match. Bruce quickly slides his t-shirt over his head and then through the cage to wrap it around Max’s throat and twists it to get a really good grip on his opponent. Bruce reaches over the next bar with his left hand, then he shifts his right hand as well making sure to never loosen his grip on Max as he slowly drags him kicking and screaming towards the top of the cage. “Just one wrong move and it’s all over!” Pete says pointing out just how much of a nail biter the match has turned into. “One wrong move and Max may win the match but end up seriously hurt” King points out. After much fighting and dragging Bruce finally climbs up on the top of the cage with Max King in tow. Bruce straddles the cage as he drags Max forward over the top trying to throw the Icon off the cage into the ring. Since he finally has a clean shot at Bruce without the cage to block him Max fires off a back elbow right to Bruce’s gut. Once out Bruce grip the Icon quickly straddles the top of the cage, locking in his leg to prevent him from falling off and then he fires off a fist square to Bruce’s jaw. “What a shot!” Pete say Bruce shake’s the blow off and fires off a right hand of his own rocking Max backwards from the force of the blow. “If they’re not careful they can lose the match by knocking the other guy down. Can you imagine losing a match because you punch TOO hard?” King ponders as Bruce and Max exchange right hands as they both straddle the top of the cage. Max fires off a quick jab to Bruce’s ear and then follows up with another lighting quick blow followed by a third one before Bruce can even react. Dazed from the stinging blows Bruce reaches out in desperation and rakes Max’s eyes. The combination of the ragged tape on Bruce’s hand and the fingers to the eyes blinds Max momentarily giving Bruce a totally free shot at the Icon Bruce clenches his fist and brings it upwards, landing a rock hard upper cut that lands squarely on Max’s jaw *POW!!* For a second the entire arena is silent as Max slowly arches backwards, his eyes rolled to the back of his head as he falls backwards… And hangs upside down outside the cage as his left leg is locked under one of the bars effectively trapping the Icon on the cage. Bruce almost can’t believe his eyes as he realizes that Max is stuck, then he wastes no time in climbing over the top of the cage and starts to slowly climb down the side of the cage. “Max is so totally stuck! This thing is…” That’s all King is able to say before Bruce’s sweat dripping hand slips on the cage and the big man drops the 6 –7 feet to the ground where he lands square on his ample ass. * DING*DING*DING*DING*DING* “Bruce wins!! Bruce uses his ass and wins” King yells out as the bell rings. “The winner of the match, entitled to a shot at the World Tag-Team champions with a partner of his choice – the Trailerpark Messiah – BRUUUUUUUUUCEEEEEE BLANK!” Funyon announces as Bruce slowly drags himself up on his knees. WHITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TRASH!! WHITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TRASH!! “Bruce gets another chance to tangle with TKO!” King exclaims hinting at the mixed results Bruce has had against TORU and KOJI so far. “Unless they’re not the champions by the time Bruce finds a partner” Pete interjects, as always happy to spoil any point King is trying to make. “Oh you suck!” WHITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TRASH!! WHITEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TRASH!! The chant rings through the arena as Bruce walks down the aisle towards the back, he might be limping, he might be holding his ribs in agony but he is victorious once again. Just before he exits the arena he stops to make a comment to the closest camera. “T.K.O.!! Your days on top are numbered” Fade out.

Ouch that's GOT to suck man *Places 10 bucks on JJJ*
