Rawknight 0 Report post Posted June 2, 2003 ::Want to find out MY thoughts on the result. PM me and I'll be happy to tell you. Answers are Rated TV-18 VL:: Axis: Welcome back folks to the packed Staples Centre where it’s Main Event time. Suicide King: It’s been a fantastic card so far, Axis, and it’s only going to get better with the Maori Badass and the Antichrist Superstar. Axis: Crow and Va’aiga have faced a few times before, and it’s generally been honors even between these great athletes. Suicide King: And Va’aiga has come SO close to taking the title off Crow before, and he got MEGA upset about falling just short. If Va’aiga doesn’t win tonight someone is going to get REALLY hurt. Probably Eddy Long again! Axis: Let’s hand you over to Funyon for the formalities. Funyon: Ladies and Gentlemen the following match is scheduled for ONE fall, and is for the SJL WOOOOOOOOOOOOOORLD HEEEEEAVYWEEEIGHT TIIIIIIIIIITLE! Suicide King: I have to admit, Axis, I’m so stoked about this rematch. These are two of the greatest superstars we’ve seen in the SJL, and this rematch could be the crowning of both men’s legacies. Axis: I don’t see this match as being anything other than a brutal classic. And with the skills of these men, I don’t see it as being other than extremely close. Funyon: Introducing first, hailing from Rotorua, New Zealand, he tips the scales tonight at 285lbs, the Master of the Maori Drop and #1 contender to the WORLD TITLE… The Maori Badass… VAAAAAAAAAAA’AAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIGAAAAAAAAAAA The arena drops to darkness, as Va'aiga's shadow appears in the entranceway, dressed in his hooded training top with the hood down. The bass line of "Bring The Pain" by Method Man starts up and red strobe lights pierce the darkness of the entrance ramp as Va'aiga begins his slow walk to the ring, throwing a few phantom jabs on the way. The Smarktron shows images of Va'aiga shadow boxing and posing, cut with some of his biggest in ring hits - Maori Dropping Thor, Maori Dropping a ladder onto Tryst, the chairshot on Spike Jenkins, Maori Dropping John Duran, smashing Crow with a chair, staring off with Janus, smashing the disco ball with his fist to grab the contract inside, Maori Dropping Spike Jenkins... Inside the ring Va'aiga rolls down his hood and raises his fists to the crowd, then takes off his top and throws it to a ring assistant before firing off the Maori hand sign. Axis: Va’aiga looks focused as ever. Suicide King: Yeah but you have to realize that that focus could go at any second. Va’aiga lives on the edge of snapping at any moment. And Crow knows that and should be able to exploit it. Funyon: And his opponent, the reigning SJL World Champion, weighing in at 231lbs and hailing from Adelaide, Australia, via Anchorage, Alaska. He is the Antichrist Phenomenon, THIS IS CROOOOOOOOOOOOW Crow walks out into the entranceway and strikes his familiar crucifix pose as the crowd pops huge at the mention of his name. “Natural Born Chaos” by Soilwork has already fired up as Crow sparks up his cigarette and begins walking down the entrance ramp, slapping hands with the fans on his way to the ring. Crow relaxes against the ring apron and finishes his cigarette before stubbing it out and sliding into the ring. Crow stands on the ropes and strikes another crucifix, looking out into the crowd who respond with an appreciative round of cheers and Crow hops down and checks his gear before the fight. Funyon: Your referee for this match is Anthony Michael Hall. Referee Hall checks both combatants over for hidden weapons and signals for the bell, starting the match. Crow and Va’aiga stare off and circle. The two combatants, both experienced in facing each other, having faced off four times before, stare down each other, neither wanting to leave themselves open to the other’s usual opening salvos. Va’aiga moves in and goes for an arm of Crow, but Crow slaps Va’aiga’s look-see for an Irish whip away. Va’aiga backs off and beckons Crow in for a lock up, but Crow shakes his head and keeps circling, knowing that Va’aiga would easily overpower him in a collar and elbow situation. Axis: Slow start to the match here. Both these guys know each other well and neither is going to want to be the one to make the first mistake. Suicide King: Add to that the pacing of the match. Slow and steady will suit the brawling expert Va’aiga and allow him to overpower Crow. Crow needs to keep it fast so he can outmaneuver the big Maori. Crow backs off a little more, giving himself maneuver room and charges at Va’aiga. The big Maori sets himself for a shoulder block, but Crow anticipates this and slides down into a low dropkick, going for Va’aiga’s left leg. Va’aiga drops to a knee and Crow rushes past, looking to hit a second dropkick to the back of Va’aiga’s head. The kick connects and Va’aiga sprawls forwards, allowing crow to capitalize with a leg drop to the upper back of the big Maori and a quick pin cover. ONE! TWO! And Va’aiga kicks out as Anthony Michael Hall’s hand is rising, not even CLOSE to a three count. Axis: Probably a little early in the match for Va’aiga to be pinned. Suicide King: It’s the Maori Badass; he takes more than a couple of dropkicks to deal with. Crow rolls away from Va’aiga and stands in the same motion, allowing Va’aiga to stand in his own space. Va’aiga turns to face Crow and stares down the Australian superstar, and Crow responds with a sly grin and a charge, sliding down underneath a loosely thrown Va’aiga lariat and drop toe holding the big Maori down to the mat. Crow floats round amateur style and locks in a front face lock. Va’aiga rolls over, loosening the move, but Crow bridges to keep hold of Va’aiga’s neck. Crow extends the bridge then flips back over, releasing Va’aiga’s neck with a snap into an improvised cover… ONE! TWO! THR… and Va’aiga kicks out. Axis: Crow showing an impressive level of mat technique there. Crow may prefer a brawl, but knowing he can be out punched by Va’aiga in a stand up fight Crow looks capable of taking it to the mat and winning. Suicide King: Va’aiga really suffers on the mat against more intelligent opposition. Like for instance a rock. Crow stands first, backing off again to avoid a lash out from the big Maori. Crow leaps in and grabs for Va’aiga’s free arm, whipping the Maori Badass into the far ropes. Va’aiga thunders back off the ropes and Crow is forced to leapfrog, Va’aiga’s deceptively fast speed catching Crow off his guard for the first time in the match. Va’aiga rebounds off the ropes on the opposite side of the ring and Crow kneels and extends an arm, lashing Va’aiga’s chest with his the knife edge of his hand, and Stopping the Maori in his tracks. Crow stands to face Va’aiga and fires a second chop off, and Va’aiga’s face is crossed with a hint of a smile. Crow lashes another fierce chop in and Va’aiga extends his arm and near takes Crow’s head off with an overpowered lariat. Crow bounces off the mat after flipping 360 off the force of Va’aiga’s clothesline and Va’aiga calls out. Va’aiga: MY HOUSE! Axis: Crow has winded Va’aiga a little with those chops before, but Va’aiga has his world title match head on, and simple knife hand strikes aren’t going to phase the Maori Badass. Suicide King: I’m not sure smashing a sledgehammer across that chest could faze the big Maori. Even at the best of times he’s scary tough. Va’aiga grabs Crow roughly off the ground by his hair and whips Crow into the ropes. Crow rebounds back and Va’aiga knees the flying Australian hard in the chest, sending Crow down to the canvas again. Va’aiga launches himself into the air and splashes down across the young Australian’s back. Va’aiga turns Crow over and covers… ONE! TWO! TH.. and Crow kicks out. Axis: Well Va’aiga is going for a quick win here too. I don’t think either man here wants to let the other take any control of the match, and both would rather it ended quickly. Suicide King: Yeah but neither man is going to cede a quick victory to this opponent. I foresee a long battle between these two, and the Suicide King is ALWAYS right. Crow stands up slowly as Va’aiga lurks over him threateningly. Va’aiga grabs for Crow and hooks in a side headlock, looking to suplex the Antichrist superstar over. Crow block with his leg and hooks up Va’aiga’s head, looking for a suplex of his own, but Crow lacks the power to force the massive Maori over. Va’aiga back elbows himself free and floats round into a back waist lock, looking to lift Crow up with a German, but Crow reverses to a back waist lock of his own, stepping slightly to a side and lifting Va’aiga up, falling backwards and backdrop suplexing Va’aiga down! The crow lets out a massive cheer for Crow as the Antichrist Superstar takes his feet again. Axis: I don’t believe it King, Crow actually managed to suplex the Maori Badass over. Given the huge weight and height difference between the two athletes that’s some feat. Suicide King: Crow is defying all the critics here tonight. They said he’d never get Va’aiga over in a suplex and tonight he has. This is some showing from the Antichrist Superstar. Crow looks down at Va’aiga and sets himself in motion, bouncing off the ropes and hitting a lightning quick running leg drop on the fallen Maori. Crow breathes in and leaps up, running the ropes round a corner and flying off with a huge high impact flying splash. Crow grabs a leg of Va’aiga and goes to cover again… ONE! TWO! TH.. and Crow is thrown off Va’aiga as the big Maori powers out. Axis: Another pin attempt from Crow there, but the Maori Badass shows remarkable strength in powering out of the cover. Suicide King: Remember it takes more energy to break a pin cover than it does to apply one. That’s something people often forget in wrestling matches when they see a lot of early pin attempts and thinks “Why are they doing that?” Crow backs off to leave Va’aiga room to pick himself up off the canvas, and Va’aiga runs to face Crow as Crow charges in with another of his rushing attacks. Crow goes for an arm of Va’aiga looking to hip toss the Maori Badass over, but he can’t shift his weight enough to topple the big Maori from his feet. Va’aiga spins and fires off a snap back elbow to make Crow loosen his grip, and follows up by snapmaring Crow over and kicking the Aussie in the base of his spine. Va’aiga locks in a double chicken wing on the seated Crow and stands, keeping the hold on, and then falls backwards and blasts Crow with a bridged Tiger Suplex! Anthony Michael Hall drops to cover… ONE! TWO! THR. And Crow rolls up a shoulder. Axis: A high impact move there by Va’aiga. Both of these great wrestlers are pulling out some of their more high impact moves now. Suicide King: And both are going to have to if they want to leave this match with the belt tonight. Va’aiga drags Crow off the mat and whips him towards the ropes, but drags Crow back towards him, swinging an arm towards the talented Australian looking for a short arm clothesline. Crow ducks under the blow, using his height disadvantage to his advantage. From his position behind Va’aiga, Crow steps through and plants the Maori Badass down to the canvas with a Side Russian Legsweep. Crow stands up and looks down at Va’aiga contemplating his next move. Axis: Crow is looking to see what to do next. He has to be wondering what it takes to keep the Maori Badass down. Suicide King: He should look to be PUTTING the Maori Badass down! I know a good veterinary surgeon that could do that for him. Crow lets Va’aiga stand up and then softens him up with a series of quick lefts and rights, then whips the Maori Badass into the ropes. Crow stands against the ropes and Va’aiga, given a little extra time to regain control shapes for one of his trademark tackles. Crow, however, moves to a side to avoid the charge of Va’aiga and the massive Maori goes flying through the second and third ropes to the outside. The crowd calls out “¡OLE!” Crow follows Va’aiga out over the top rope, as Anthony Michael Hall looks down disapprovingly putting on a count. Axis: Crow is taking it to the outside here. This could degenerate into a brawl quickly. Suicide King: You know I thought it would be Va’aiga going to the outside first, but Crow has decided,”Hey, a few weapons might liven this up, and if it’s on the outside it’s all cool!” Crow grabs for Va’aiga as the Maori Badass stirs from his grounded, crumpled heap position and rams the big Maori cranium into the ring apron a few times, stunning the big Maori. Crow goes to whip Va’aiga, but the Maori Badass do-see-dos and Crow goes crashing back first into the ring steps, sliding into them to lessen the effect of the collision. Va’aiga grabs for a piece of the loosened steps, but referee Hall interposes himself, not allowing Va’aiga to strike Crow with the illegal foreign object. Va’aiga throws down the steps in disgust. Suicide King: The referee is clearly overstepping his bounds there. I mean stopping Va’aiga from smiting Crow with those steps, that’s just wrong. Let these guys brawl. Axis (with more than a little hint of sarcasm): Yeah no way a referee should be, y’know, REFEREEING is there King? Suicide King: You’re damn skippy. Va’aiga pushes Anthony Michael Hall rudely aside and moves in on Crow but Crow prepared himself carefully, using the referee’s stalling of Va’aiga to compose himself and BLASTS Va’aiga with DAS WUNDERKICK. Va’aiga drops like a stone to the protective mats. Crow looks at referee Hall and rolls into then out of the ring quickly to reset the count, staying on the ring apron and positioning himself to hop onto the second rope and Asai Moonsault down onto the fallen Va’aiga! There is a resounding crack of bone on bone and flesh on flesh as the Crow shaped missile hits Va’aiga, and Crow rolls away clutching his chest as Va’aiga lays there stunned. Crow takes a little time to recover and compose himself again and the young Australian grabs his New Zealander opponent and slings him back into the ring under the bottom rope. Crow follows in and covers… ONE! TWO! THR.. and Va’aiga kicks out again. Axis: What tenacity is being shown here by the Maori Badass, he took a couple of BIG Crow moves outside and he’s still kicking out of the pin attempts. Suicide King: He’s a hard man to stop is Va’aiga. You can hit him and kick him and stomp on him, but the big lug NEVER stays down for long. Crow looks down at Va’aiga and signals a twisting motion with his finger to his fans in the crowd. Crow picks Va’aiga up in a side headlock and walks backwards to the turnbuckles, seating himself first on the second rope then bouncing up to the top one, all while keeping Va’aiga locked tight in the headlock. Crow leaps off the rope and swings out, looking to hit Va’aiga with his Murderous DDT, but Va’aiga semi counters and throws Crow off him as the pair swing out, and Crow lands away from Va’aiga, slumped on the mat as Va’aiga drops down himself, looking exhausted. Anthony Michael Hall puts on a ten count on both men… ONE! TWO! THREE! Axis: Both men look spent, and I’m not sure either can stand. FOUR! FIVE! SIX!… Crow gets to his feet slowly… SEVEN! EIGHT! NIN…. And Va’aiga manages to stand up stopping the count. Axis: Man that was close. The world title match could have easily ended with both men being counted out there. Suicide King: I don’t think either of these two athletes is going to give up on a simple count out. Not unless they’ve been beaten to a bloody pulp and to within an inch of their miserable little lives. Crow approaches Va’aiga carefully, making sure the big Maori isn’t going to leap at him at any second, stalking the Maori Badass like a mongoose stalking his deadly snake prey. Crow steps back, looking to spark Va’aiga out with another Wunderkick. Crow waits for Va’aiga to extend himself to his full height and then lashes the kick out, but Va’aiga ducks and Crow’s leg goes arcing over the head of the Maori Badass. Va’aiga grabs a hold of the turned Crow and plants him to the mat with a MASSIVE backdrop suplex. Crow is left sprawling on the mat and Va’aiga floats over to cover… ONE! TWO! THR… and Crow lifts a shoulder. Va’aiga backs off to take a breather as Crow lays on the mat. Axis: Va’aiga has taken a lot of punishment up to this stage of the match. I think the Maori Badass is suffering under the weight of attack from the Antichrist Phenomenon. Suicide King: Do doo de do do. Axis: Oh no, not this again. You’re not going to do this every time I say phenomenon Suicide King: Do doo de do. Axis: You are. Fine. While the commentators bicker, Va’aiga has summoned enough energy again to go for Crow again. Va’aiga goes for an arm of the Antichrist Superstar and whips Crow into the ropes, Spearing him down with a trademark tackle. Va’aiga goes for the mount position and fires off a series of stiff right hands into the head of the grounded Crow. Anthony Michael Hall warns off Va’aiga for using the closed fist and Va’aiga stands up and BARKS at him to break off. Crow slides away and gets to his feet and when Va’aiga turns down to find him, Crow blindsides his with a pair of punches and a snapped off dropkick, staggering the big Maori backwards. Crow grabs Va’aiga’s leg and whips it round, taking Va’aiga down, and then holding the leg up, Crow steps through and locks in a figure-four leg lock. The Crowd lets out a round of whoos to mark the use of Ric Flair’s favorite hold as Crow cinches it in. Axis: The deadly figure four. This could be the move that finishes Va’aiga off! Can Va’aiga escape the clutches of the Antichrist Phenomenon? Suicide King: Do doo de do do, de do do, de do do, de do do doody do do doo do! Axis: Are you done. Suicide King: I’m done! Crow torques in the hold and Va’aiga’s face is contorted into a scowl of pain, as the figure four is locked in as tight as Crow can, given the difference in size between the massive legs of Va’aiga and the smaller pins of the Australian. Crow’s face is the picture of concentration s he attempts to focus his thoughts on placing as much pain on the massive Maori as possible. Va’aiga tries to roll the hold over, reversing the pressure, but Crow keeps the hold firm still, pulling against the roll of the Maori and keeping it locked in tight. Axis: I’m not sure Va’aiga can break this hold. He’s fighting the effects of the figure four, but it’s going go force him to tap out eventually. Suicide King: I’m not sure the big Maori has tapped out yet in his SJL career. You have to bludgeon him to death rather than do anything subtle to make him quit. Axis: Va’aiga doesn’t know the meaning of the word quit. Suicide King: Or the word vermisilitude. Crow pounds on the mat trying to draw strength from the gathered crowd, as the noise from them grows to a crescendo, split between the chants of “CROW! CROW! CROW!” and “VA-ING-UH!” Crow tries to crank up the pressure on the hold by drawing himself up t a sitting position and then flinging his 230lb frame down back to the mat, wrenching hard on Va’aiga’s trapped legs. Va’aiga tries again to roll the hold, and again Crow fights the roll and keeps the Maori Badass trapped inside the dangerous hold. Axis: Va’aiga is trapped in a VERY bad situation. I think that if Crow can keep this hold pressed in for a few more precious seconds the Maori Badass may be forced to tap. Suicide King: It’s keep the title time for the Antichrist Superstar. Get the champagne out. Crow draws himself up to a seated position, and preparing himself to force himself back down and wrench the hold tighter, but Va’aiga draws on HIS inner strength and fighting spirit, and sits up a little himself. Crow slaps Va’aiga across the chest to attempt to force the Maori Badass back down to the mat, but Va’aiga grits his teeth and doesn’t budge. Crow tries another slap and AGAIN the Maori Badass doesn’t budge an inch. Crow slaps Va’aiga again and Va’aiga bellows out… Va’aiga: MY HOUSE! And Va’aiga wrenches Crow over and reverses the hold into an Indian Deathlock! Va’aiga screams out as he tries to make Crow tap with the reversed hold, but Crow desperately reaches out for the ropes, and due to the roll Crow is near enough to grab hold of them and Anthony Michael Hall calls for the break. Axis: Va’aiga dodged a figure four shaped bullet there. Crow had to expend a lot of energy there and it couldn’t quite finish the Maori Badass off. Suicide King: It was expending a lot of energy to cause a lot of pain. I wonder what the lasting effects of that move will be. Crow picks himself up as Va’aiga is shaking his legs down, attempting to get the blood back flowing through them fully. Crow charges at Va’aiga and aims a dropkick at the leg of the Maori Badass, but Va’aiga moves out of the way and Crow slides to the outside. Va’aiga moves to the edge of the ring to look to follow Crow, but Crow grabs Va’aiga by the ankles and trips the massive Maori up. Crow hops onto the ring apron and using the top rope as a launch pad, slingshots over the top rope and flips over into the ring, hitting Va’aiga with a slingshot rolling senton! Crow drags Va’aiga into position and climbs to the top rope, looking out into the wildly appreciative crowd and striking his familiar crucifix pose. Axis: This could be it. Crow’s positioned for the Evenflow Moonsault. This move has put down many a talented opponent, and Va’aiga is probably too large to Natural Born Chaos in any effective manner. Suicide King: It’s a move that’s beaten Va’aiga before, Axis. The noise of the fans builds to a height, with women screaming their love for Crow and kids chanting the Antichrist Superstar’s name out. Crow breathes in slowly, in and out, absorbing the atmosphere of the arena as he psyches himself up to deliver the killer blow. Va’aiga lays there, spark out below where Crow is and the Antichrist Phenom leaps off the top rope in a graceful arc and…. MISSES AS VA’AIGA ROLLS OUT THE WAY! The crowd turns and chants for “VA-ING-UH” as Crow lies the on the floor while Va’aiga stands slowly, fists shaking, summoning up the full strength of his toukon – his fighting spirit! Axis: Va’aiga is getting himself together… Va’aiga is psyching himself into a frenzy… Suicide King: Va’aiga is either going to explode on Crow, explode in his pants or just explode period. It’s going to be violent, messy or just plain old spontaneous combustion! Va’aiga stands and grabs for an arm of the fallen Crow, dragging the Australian Champion to his feet. Va’aiga whips Crow into the ropes and chases him, moving in an ungainly fashion with the damage of the figure four still affecting him. Va’aiga fails to catch Crow looking for his running reverse tackle and instead spins and waits for Crow to rebound at him, driving Crow down into the mat with a double leg takedown. Axis: Va’aiga’s sprint speed has been crippled by the deadly leg lock applied by Crow earlier. Suicide King: It’s a shock that Va’aiga hasn’t been crippled by it. The figure four is a lethal little move there. Va’aiga picks up Crow again and grabs Crow round the waist, spinning and taking Crow with him, planting the Antichrist down with a massive Belly to Belly suplex. Va’aiga stands, thinking about covering, but instead limits himself to a series of careful stomps, flinching a little as he delivers them, but happier to inflict damage to Crow than he is worried about hurting himself. Va’aiga lifts Crow off the mat again and forces him into a standing head scissors, before wrenching the talented Crow up onto his broad Maori shoulders and then POWERING Crow down to the mat with a FAT release powerbomb! Crow judders to a halt as he bounces a little along the canvas and Va’aiga calls out again… Va’aiga: BOO-YAH! Axis: Va’aiga is closing in for the kill. He can feel the power coursing through his veins again. If I were in Crow’s position I’d be very worried at this stage. Suicide King: You keep changing your allegiance as to who’s going to win Axis. That’s just unprofessional for a commentator. Axis: I’ve seen you do it. Suicide King: Yeah but that’s because Suicide King is always right! Va’aiga looks out to the crowd and draws his finger slowly across his throat, signaling that it’s nearly time for the end of the match. He adds this with a call out to the massed audience… Va’aiga: DROP! Va’aiga looks down at the fallen Crow and picks him up from his starfish position on the canvas. Va’aiga kicks Crow firmly in the stomach and wrenches the talented gothic warrior up across his chest, backing off a few steps into the ropes. Va’aiga steps out from the ropes, but with the effects of the figure four still causing his legs to ache, the final move as Va’aiga sends Crow down to the mat with more of a WALKING MAORI DROP! Va’aiga hooks a leg… ONE! TWO! THR….. NOOOO! Crow lifts a shoulder and the crowd EXPLODES into a round of cheers for Crow. Axis: Wow! Crow kicked out of that amazing Maori Drop! Suicide King: Yeah but it didn’t look like a PROPER Running Maori Drop. I’m Not Sure Va’aiga got the full force of that move in, and I AM sure if he had have Crow would have been finished. It’s all academic now though. Va’aiga gets to his feet, still moving a little slowly, and beckons Crow up with a hand gesture. Crow stumbles up to his feet, still recovering from the power of that last Maori Drop. Crow staggers a little as Va’aiga draws back his massive meat hook left hand and blasts Crow with a huge left cross. Crow staggers a little more and Va’aiga draws back and fires off the left hand again. Crow is forced to back up a little, rolling away from the impact of the blows, and Crow is staggered nearly to the ropes by a third huge left hand strike. Crow wraps himself against the ropes for steadiness as Va’aiga kisses his right hand and lines up the Antichrist Superstar in his sights. Va’aiga fires off a HUGE right hook and Crow bundles over the top rope, landing in a crumpled heap on the outside. Despite the protestations of Anthony Michael Hall, Va’aiga follows him out, stepping over the top rope. Axis: Va’aiga looking to press home his advantage by going to the outside again here. Suicide King: The Maori is little more than a street fighter, Axis, and he’s gonna put himself into a situation where brawling is the law. It’s a smart move from Va’aiga, and you won’t find me admitting one of them every day. Va’aiga picks Crow up off the protective matting on the outside and drags him by the hair to the commentary table. Va’aiga smashes Crow’s head off the table edge, drawing blood from the forehead of the Antichrist Phenom, and begins stripping the monitors off the table, flashing the infamous “I’m gonna hurt you” grin across his face. Axis and Suicide King scatter as the fourth and final monitor is set skidding across the ring area, Va’aiga picks Crow up over one shoulder and slams him forcefully onto the table. Anthony Michael Hall waves off Va’aiga trying desperately to stop him from following up on the move, but Va’aiga just grins and steps up onto the table. Axis: STOP! Don’t do it Va’aiga! You’ll break the poor boy in two! Suicide King: How am I even supposed to commentate if he’s intent on wrecking our table? Axis: I don’t think Va’aiga cares about the table… I don’t think Va’aiga cares about ANYTHING… Va’aiga, now standing on the table, picks up Crow and turns the Antichrist Phenom’s back to him. Va’aiga wraps an arm around Crow’s neck and holds the SJL Champion in position for a few seconds, looking out across the crowd before CRASHING Crow and himself through the table with a massive Inverted DDT! The crowd explodes into a massive “HOLY SHIT!” chant as Va’aiga wraps his legs around Crow’s abdomen, locking in the Pacific Stretch with a cobra-like grip! Axis: The Maori Badass busting out a new move here; ever since the Maori Badass has been working out with Danny Williams as part of the Unholy Trinity he’s been promising to bust out some new stuff. Add to that is the fact that Va’aiga is a brutal, BRUTAL athlete. He has no fear, and no respect for his opposition, and you have one mean package. Suicide King: He broke my table. He has no respect for quality furniture. Va’aiga wrenches back on Crow, pulling on his neck and twisting the Antichrist Phenom’s spine as the pair lie on the outside, splinters of the destroyed table surrounding them. Anthony Michael Hall, reaching 7 on his Double Count Out count stirs Va’aiga into breaking the hold, slinging Crow in under the bottom rope and following in quickly himself. Va’aiga covers Crow… ONE! TWO! THR… and Crow kicks out! Axis: MY GOD! Crow has gone through a table! Crow has had his spinal vertebrae wrenched in direction that they have never been meant to go and the Antichrist Superstar STILL has the energy left to kick out. Suicide King: Crow is tougher than boot leather, Axis. You just can’t keep a good Satanist down. Va’aiga stands and brushes himself down, growling at the grounded Crow. Drawing a deep breath and summoning the last reserves of energy he has Va’aiga lifts up Crow again and whips him into the ropes, setting up for a flapjack as Crow rebounds, but Crow ducks under and Va’aiga is left standing as Crow rushes past and rebounds off the ropes on the other side. The crowd cheers Crow as he leaps up trying to bundle Va’aiga over with a high cross body block and Va’aiga… catches him. Va’aiga jumps and drops forward with the Maori Drop!!! Va’aiga’s ribcage comes crashing down onto Crow’s body and Va’aiga hooks a leg to strengthen the pin. ONE! TWO! THR… NO! And Crow juuuuuuust kicks out. Blood stains the mat near where Crow kicked out and the Antichrist Superstar lies there sucking wind as Va’aiga composes himself again. Axis Axis: I thought Crow was spent… that last little shot, that desperation move there could just have been enough to totally expend Crow’s energy. Suicide King: Crow has had so many chances to win this match, but Va’aiga has taken control and is just manhandling Crow. I just wonder how much energy the Maori Badass has left himself. I mean beating on Crow has to be tiring, and earlier on he took a LOT of damage himself. Va’aiga stands slowly and takes slow deliberate breaths, trying to keep himself together as he waits for Crow to stand up. Va’aiga grabs for Crow as the Australian stands and wrenches him up across the big Maori chest, backing Crow up into the ropes. Axis: This is it. Running Maori Drop… Va’aiga takes a few steps forward, but Crow wriggles free and slips behind Va’aiga! The crowd cheers! Crow pushes Va’aiga away a couple of steps then closes in for a backdrop suplex, looking to repeat his earlier feat. Fatigue kicking in, draining the remarkable power Crow showed in the early stages of the match, Crow can’t quite lever Va’aiga over and Va’aiga slips out of Crow’s grasp into a go-behind. Va’aiga lifts Crow a little, looking for another Massive German suplex, but Crow slides his leg inside Va’aiga’s, stopping himself from being thrown. Va’aiga changes tack and reaches round Crow’s neck with an arm, bending the Antichrist Phenomenon backwards. Va’aiga breathes in and looks round the crowd… Suicide King: What’s he gonna do Axis? Axis: He could be looking for a second Pacific Stretch, but I don’t know King. Va’aiga seems to have a deeper bag of tricks than ever before today. Va’aiga grabs hold of Crow’s wrestling gear with his other hand and looks out across the arena, near silent in expectation of the move to come. Va’aiga wrenches Crow up suplex style, depositing the 230lb star over his shoulder and in the same motion sitting out, driving Crow head and shoulders first down to the mat between Va’aiga’s legs!! Va’aiga flops on top of Crow to cover as the Antichrist Superstar is left spark out from the move, and Anthony Michael Hall puts on a count… ONE! TWO! THREE!!!! Va’aiga rolls off Crow and slumps beside him, regaining a little energy. Axis: Va’aiga wins! Va’aiga is the new SJL Champion. Suicide King: Yeah but Crow can come out of it with his head held high. Axis: That’s right King, Crow dominated a man far his better in size and power for a lot of the match in a way few men can claim they’ve ever dominated the Maori Badass, and at the end he took a superhuman level of punishment before finally falling to the move which Va’aiga calls the Pacific Driver. Suicide King: I think it’s the influence of Deathwish Danny Williams and maybe even Dace Night that told, Axis, and if it wasn’t for the training with the other members of the Unholy Trinity, I don’t think Va’aiga would have had enough in him to beat Crow. Axis: Never the less, Va’aiga is our new champion, and let’s go over to Funyon for the formalities. Funyon: Your winner and NEW SJL CHAMPION OF THE WOOOOOOOOORLD… THE MAORI BADASS VAAAAAAAAAAAAA’AAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGAAAAAAAAA! Anthony Michael Hall lifts Va’aiga’s arm and hands him the belt as the Maori Badass slowly walks out, breathing heavily, worn out from the effects of the brutal match he has just survived. Va’aiga ties the belt round his bicep and walks past the fans, letting them slap him on his back as he walks through the entranceway. Meanwhile in the ring Crow stand to a MASSIVE round of applause and wipes his forehead clear of the blood that’s pooling on there. Axis: We have a new SJL Champion, we’ve had a great night of entertainment, and for the Suicide King, this is Axis saying goodnight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
