Guest Crowe Report post Posted June 16, 2003 I'd like some feedback on this match, if you'd all be so kind. --- Fade in from commercial. Instead of the obligatory camera focus into the crowd, we cut straight to the ring where ‘Bring the Pain’ is still playing and Va’aiga has just discarded his training top. “Standing in the ring, hailing from Rotorua, Aotearoa, weighing in at two hundred and eighty five pounds, this is VVVVVAAAAAAAAAAA’AAAAAAIIIIIIIIGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!” Funyon booms. The crowd cheers loudly for the Maori Badass as he throws a few phantom punches in the ring, warming himself up for the battle. ‘Bring the Pain’ fades out and no music rings, that is, until... “WAIT FOR CHAOS! WAIT FOR WARFARE! AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN! BLEED FOR MONEY! BLEED FOR JUSTICE! GOING STRAIGHT TO HELL WITH A WOUNDED SOUL!” ...explodes through the arena speakers and causes a huge eruption of cheers and screams from the crowd! From behind the entrance curtain appears the Antichrist Superstar, Crow, and standing next to him, is the mystery man, Dante Crane. Our world champion is not smoking a cigarette tonight, instead, he’s holding a candle in both his hands and Dante is carrying a black plastic bag that is filled with numerous unknown objects. The two men walk down to the ring. “Walking down the aisle, accompanied by Dante Crane, hailing from Anchorage, Alaska, weighing in at two hundred and thirty one pounds, he is the SJL World Heavyweight Champion, this is... CCCCCRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWW!” Funyon booms. Crow places the candle under the turnbuckle and slides into the ring whilst Dante walks around to the other side of the ring. The Antichrist Superstar tests the ropes, then darts his eyes over towards Va’aiga. Much to no one’s surprise, the Maori Badass is doing the exact same thing, staring intently. “Tonight’s match up is ever so personal for these two competitors, King. These two will be trapped inside a hard steel bar cage for twenty minutes, and let me tell you, it’s not going to be pretty.” Axis blandly states. “Obviously it’s not, Axis. It is very personal, especially for Va’aiga, he was quite pissed off after his lost the to Crow last time, so expect an absolute beating.” Adds the Suicide King. Before the commentary duo can continue, Funyon’s voice once again booms through the speakers. “This match up is for the SJL World Heavyweight Championship. The match will take place in the confines of a steer bar cage and competitors can only win via pinfalls or submissions, and NOT by escaping the cage. If anyone plants a foot on the outside, they will be disqualified. There will be a twenty minute time, if no winner is determined after 20 minutes, the match will be declared a draw, and Crow will retain the title. If Va'aiga loses this match, his SWF developmental contract will be terminated.” Referee Matthew Kivell raises the World belt into the air and the crowd cheers for the gesture and also for the fact that the steel cage is being lowered from the ceiling. The cage itself is reminiscent of old WWF style ones, made out of hard steel bars and not mesh. It’s double layered, meaning there are two sets of steel bar graphs, and up top, the structure is finalised and stuck together hard, this creates a half a foot platform which could be stood on. Just before the cage sets itself down around the apron, Dante lifts the candle up and places a chair under it. “And the cage is locked down! It’s time to get this baby going, King! Any thoughts going into this match up?” Axis queries. “Well, personally, I think Crow is way out of his league in this setting... and he’s going to have to step up if he has any chance of surviving. Va’aiga has this match in the bag, it’s perfectly suited for him.” Intelligently replies King. “I don’t know about that, King. Crow has proven he’s able to win even in terrible circumstances, but you are right, he has to step it up. Only thing to his advantage in this match... is his speed, he will have to utilise it.” Axis states. *DING! DING! DING!* -20:00- The bell has been rung and the two men in the ring are circling around each other... and they both lunge forward at each other, grappling in a collar and elbow tie up! Crow holds his own for a little while, but is eventually driven back into the turnbuckle by the Maori Badass. Va’aiga releases the tie up and throws a huge right hand forward at the champion’s cranium, following up, he latches a hold of the arm and whips him into the opposing turnbuckle. The Maori charges straight after him, ready to pound Crow’s body with his own body. But that’s not to be as Crow manages to use his momentum to jump onto the top rope and moonsault off them – straight over Va’aiga’s head! This causes Va’aiga to run fact first into the corner and stumble out backwards, capitalising, Crow hooks the leg and slams the Maori down to the canvas in a Russian Leg Sweep... no! Va’aiga stands his ground and shakes loose, elbowing Crow in the side of the head several times. The Maori Badass bullies the champion in the ropes and sends him across the ring with an Irish whip. Bouncing off the ropes, the Antichristian Phenomenon ducks under a wildly thrown clothesline and continues running. Off the ropes again he comes... and ducks under another clothesline, but this time, he doesn’t continue running. Instead, Crow halts this time and waits for Va’aiga to turn around... ...and kicks him in the testicles with his black shiny boot! The Maori Badass doubles over and clutches at his testicles, and using this to his advantage, Crow runs around his opponent and leaps up to the top rope. Bunching his legs and leaping off, the champion performs a corkscrew in the air and jumps over Va’aiga. On the way down, Crow grabs a waistlock and rolls over his back, trying to take the Maori down to the mat with a sunset flip! But no! The Maori Badass is still holding his balance... and retains it, immediately he thrusts both his arms down at Crow’s throat and lifts his up, dead weight, into the air! “What a display of strength by Va’aiga, heaving Crow off the canvas like that!” exclaims Axis. “Quite an interesting counter to what was a spectacular move from Crow, looks like he heard you, he’s gonna try and out speed Va’aiga right now.” King reports. The Antichrist Superstar’s face is turning redder by the second, and referee Kivell can not do anything about it, this match is no disqualification. Not showing any mercy, the Maori Badass clutches even harder at Crow’s throat. Turning around and using the momentum, Va’aiga literally THROWS the champion in the steel cage! “OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!” The crowd makes their sympathy for Crow heard after that move. Falling down to the canvas face first, the champion pushes himself up to all fours... but Va’aiga is quick to the task of beating the fuck out of him. Vicious kicks are sent to Crow’s stomach and each shot causes him to cry out in pain. The Maori Badass grabs a clump of blackened locks and pulls the Antichristian Phenomenon back to a standing base and throws his against the ropes, and begins to unload an array of strikes. Left cross! Left cross! Left cross! ...a kiss of the fist... BIG right hook! Crow’s head slumps over to the right and already apparent on his face is a bruise, and a nasty split eyelid. Blood is already streaming down his face and dripping onto the mat, the champion is in trouble early in the match. Picking Crow up again, Va’aiga latches onto an arm and whips him into opposing ropes. Bouncing off, Crow runs across the ring... but into the waiting arms of, who twirls him around in the air with a tilt a whirl.... But wait! The Antichrist Superstar latches onto one of Va’aiga’s arms in the tilt a whirl and takes him down to the mat with an arm drag reversal! The Maori Badass is taken by surprise and uses the momentum to roll back up to a standing base, and waiting for him is Crow. Va’aiga runs towards Crow... but gets taken over in another arm drag! Both men rise quickly, but Crow’s just a little faster, and once again, he manages to take the Maori Badass over in an arm drag! The two men are up again, but this time, instead of taking Va’aiga over, Crow fires a Das Wunder Kick to the Maori’s knee! It buckles and down to one knee does Va’aiga go, and Crow doesn’t stop there... as he fires another Das Wunder Kick, this time directing it towards the Maori’s side! Another roundhouse kick, but this time directed to the head! Not even the Maori Badass can no sell those kicks because he slumps down to the mat face first. The Antichristian Phenomenon isn’t looking to stay in this match up for long, so he turns Va’aiga over and hooks the lateral press. ONE! . .. ... TWO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! “And Va’aiga kicks out at two! It’s a fairly even match up so far, King. Both men have gotten some offence in thus far, and I think Crow just got lucky there, using his speed to counter out of that tilt a whirl.” Axis conveys. “Very lucky if you asked me, because it Va’aiga had got the move he was going for there, the match would be heading towards its end right about now!” Adds the Suicide King. “I wouldn’t be so sure of that, King. But yes, the match would be swayed heavily in Va’aiga’s favour if not.” Crow is standing and looking to maintain his advantage, so he jumps up... and drops the leg across the Maori’s throat! The champion showcases his superior speed by rolling backwards, turning around and jumping up on to the top rope! Bunching his legs, Crow springboards off the top rope, corkscrews and performs a somersault, landing back first on... ... ...the canvas! The Maori Badass rolled out of the way just in a knick of time! Crow clutches at his back, the pain shoots through his body and his face shows the frustration... he should of known Va’aiga would have moved, the Maori has his standard offence scouted. Wasting no time, the Maori Monster scowls and drops an elbow on the champion’s stomach. Following up, Va’aiga wrenches Crow back to a standing base and sends him running into the corner. The Antichrist Superstar hits the turnbuckles hard and stumbles out backwards... right into the waiting arms of Va’aiga, who captures him in a waistlock and throws him overhead in a german suplex! ... NO! Crow flips out of the german and lands on his feet behind the Maori Badass! Thinking quickly, the champion jumps up onto Va’aiga’s back and tries to apply a sleeper hold. The challenger however won’t let it take him down and so, he quickly steps backwards... and drives Crow into the steel cage! A cry of pain echoes through the arena as Crow’s back is crushed into the steel cage a second time and he just has to let go of the move. And to the canvas he falls as Va’aiga rubs his throat his with hand, looking to beat Crow up some more, he wrenches him back to a standing base. Once he has the champion where he wants him, he whips him across the ring into the opposing ropes. Off the ropes comes Crow and trying to make something out of nothing, he uses the momentum and jumps into the air – trying to nail a body press! But it’s not to be, as the Maori Badass captures Crow as he flies in the air... and he stops for a moment... before throwing Crow over head with an Exploder Suplex! “EEEXXXXXPPPPPPPPLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!” Axis shouts in butchered Japanese English style. “You’ve been eating too much rice, Axis.” King smirks. “No I haven’t. I just appreciate an excellent move. We have a battle of speed and power right about now, and it’s a fantastic thing to watch!” Reports Axis. Va’aiga floats over for the cover. ONE! . .. ... TWO! . .. ..NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Crow kicks out of cover! Va’aiga scowls and wrenches the champion back up to a standing base and once again, latches onto an arm and whips him into the corner. Crow hits the turnbuckles back first and looking to nail a spear, Va’aiga charges forward... ...and hits nothing but ring post as the champion uses the top ropes to lift his body into the air! The Antichristian Phenomenon then rolls forward and grabs a waistlock on the way down, rolling Va’aiga in a sunset flip-esque pinning predicament. ONE! . .. ... TWO! . .. ... .NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! “Va’aiga kicks out, but just barely! Crow caught him by surprise there, once again, by using his speed advantage.” Axis states the obvious, yet again. “This could be a problem for the Maori Badass here. If I were him, I’d take out one of Crow’s legs and destroy any chance he has of surviving.” Says the King, providing some good wrestling insight. Va’aiga hastily gets back to his feet but he doesn’t have a chance to do anything much as the Antichrist Superstar is already up... and throws a BRUTAL Das Wunder Kick directly to the face! The Maori Badass stumbles back in to the corner and clutches at his face. Blood is starting to stream down his face from his nasal passages, the devastating kick has knocked him silly. Crow performs the crucifix quote to the glee of the crowd before quickly running to the corner, stepping up on to the second rope. Manoeuvring himself so he’s behind Va’aiga, the Antichrist Superstar drives his knee into the back of the Maori’s head. ... .. . AND JUMPS OFF THE ROPES AND DRIVES VA’AIGA’S FACE INTO THE CANVAS! Crow pushes Va’aiga onto his back and hooks the lateral press. ONE! . .. ... TWO! . .. ... .. NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The Maori Badass kicks out of the cover! Crow claps his hands together three times telling Kivell that it was a three count. Kivell though, insists that it was a two by holding his index and middle finger up. Giving up, the champion gets back up and drags Va’aiga to a standing base and decides to take a risk... he locks on a front face lock. Backing up into the ropes and ascending up to the top, Crow twirls his finger and jumps off – swinging around in the air, looking to hit the Murderous DDT! ... Does he hit it? ... .. . NO HE DOESN’T! The Maori Monster grounds the Antichristian Phenomenon and tries to struggle his way out of the front face lock! Crow jumps up into the air again in an effort to drive Va’aiga’s head into the canvas... but no! The Maori manages to ground him again! Realising it’s a wasted effort to try and nail the DDT, Crow starts throwing some uplifting knees into Va’aiga’s chest. One! Two! Three! Four! Five times! Following up, the champion latches onto the Maori’s pants and sets himself... ...and somehow manages to whip the much heavier man over in a snap suplex! Axis marvels at the display. “Wow! A beautiful snap suplex on Va’aiga by Crow, I didn’t know he had the strength in him!” “He doesn’t, ask him to do it again and I bet he won’t.” King smartly says. An idea pops into Crow’s head... smirking, he points towards Dante and then points towards the top rope. The crowd erupts into a frenzy of cheers as the Antichrist Superstar begins to ascend the turnbuckle. ... He’s up top! Performing the crucifix pose and playing to the look, he waits for Va’aiga to stand up. And he doesn’t have to wait very long as the Maori Badass is one tough motherfucker and shakes off almost everything thrown at him. The challenger is back up on his feet... but he’s looking the wrong way, and slowly he turns around... ...as Crow jumps off the top rope and bunches his legs, looking for the dropkick! . .. ... NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Va’aiga jumps out of way and Crow eats nothing but canvas! The brunt of the champion’s landing is on his left leg, and replays show a rather awkward landing on it. The Maori Monster may not be the sharpest knife in the draw, but he knows how to wrestle and knows how to make his opponent beg for mercy. Thus, he jumps on the opportunity to take Crow’s leg out of the game! The Antichristian Phenomenon clutches at his knee but soon feels it ripped from his grip as Va’aiga lifts the left leg into the air... and drives it down into the canvas with a massive amount of force! Not hesitating or showing any signs of mercy, the Maori Badass lifts the leg up into the heavens once again and drives it down into the canvas! He does it again! And again! AND AGAIN! -10:00- Crow is crying out in agony as his knee is driven into the canvas numerous times. Va’aiga scowls and screams at Crow... “GIVE UP NOW! GIVE UP NOW, YOU FUCKING PUSSY! I’M GOING TO KILL YOU!” Crow simply responds by rolling on to his back and screaming “NO!” whilst flipping the Maori the middle finger. This only infuriates Va’aiga even more and so, he starts stomping on Crow’s left knee with all his might! Stopping very quickly though, the Maori Badass elevates the champion’s leg. Placing his right leg behind the knee and placing his left leg behind the ankle of Crow, Va’aiga jumps into the air... ...and drives the champion’s left leg into the canvas! “This is fantastic work by Va’aiga here, Axis. He noticed how Crow was beating him and then noticed how awkwardly Crow landed on the left leg... now, he’s working it over really nastily, and this work in his favour.” King reports. “Excellent point, King. Crow was using his speed to out run and out manoeuvre Va’aiga, but what happens if you take out a leg? You can’t move at the same speed... and if you take this way from Crow, how can he beat you?” Adds Axis, picking up on Va’aiga’s psychology. The challenger wrenches Crow up to a vertical position and starts to throw some big Maori punches! The Antichrist Superstar is limping and stumbling backward, and finds himself backed into the corner. Va’aiga makes use of the turnbuckles by thrusting his leg up towards Crow’s throat and starts choking him with his big boot! The champion’s legs flail in the air as the air quickly leaves his body. Thinking Crow has had enough of that, Va’aiga drops his boot and latches onto an arm, Irish whipping him into the opposing corner. The bird’s left leg buckles as he stumbles to the other side and he slides across the canvas, stopping in time to avoid connecting with the candle he placed there at the start of the match. “MY HOUSE!” Shouts the Maori Badass as he watches Crow fall. Stalking across the ring, Va’aiga stands behind the champion. He leans over and grabs a hold of Crow’s blackened locks and pulls him back up... ... ...but wait! The Antichristian Phenomenon turns around and throws the candle wax into Va’aiga’s face! The Maori Badass shouts in agony as the wax starts burning his face and eyes. He stumbles back into the middle of the ring and starts rubbing his eyes profusely. Crow has risen from the dead, holding the chair that was present under the candle... swinging the chair back he charges at Va’aiga... ... .. . AND CRACKS THE MAORI’S SKULL WITH THE CHAIR! But Va’aiga isn’t going down, he’s still standing! Doing the logical thing, Crow throws chair back one more time and smashes it into the Maori Badass’ face! NOW the monster falls to the canvas! The champion doesn’t go for the cover however, instead, he shouts at Dante to give him... something. Cutting to the outside, Dante reaches into his black bag for the first time and pulls out a small glass light tube! Crane slides the light tube through one of the holes in the steel cage, and Crow hastily picks it up. After pulling some out a roll of gauze tape from his pocket, for some unknown bloody reason, the Antichrist Superstar breaks the glass light tube against the canvas. He starts wrapping the gauze tape around his knuckles and once he feels there’s enough around his right hand, he leans down and presses his fist into the broken glass on the canvas... “Uh oh. Crow’s not doing what I think he’s doing... is he, Axis?” King asks. “I think he is, King! He’s wrapping glass around his knuckles with gauze tape, and that by god, will HURT Va’aiga! An excellent idea from the champion here! Va’aiga’s taken out his speed advantage, so Crow’s gonna make another advantage!” Explains Axis, providing valuable insight. Crow finishes wrapping the gauze tape around his hand and the glass, following up he looks towards the Maori Badass. Va’aiga is already rising to his feet... and he’s up! Scowling at the champion, he charges and throws his arm out for a clothesline... but no! Crow ducks under the clothesline and starts to unload a barrage of punches with his right hand. The Maori Monster shouts out as the glass punctures the skin on his face, following up, the Antichristian Phenomenon latches on Va’aiga’s arm and Irish whips him into the ropes. Crow drops down to stomach in attempt to trip the Maori up, but the challenger is all too aware of that old wrestling trick and steps over! Coming off the ropes again is Va’aiga, but this time, he can’t avoid what is coming, as Crow somehow manages to jump into the air and hit the body press! Quickly mounting the Maori, the champion starts to unload even more right hands into Va’aiga’s face! Whilst doing so, he screams at Dante on the outside to throw more push more light tubes into the ring. Crane obliges and grabs two light tubes out of his bag of tricks and slides them in. Crow dismounts the Maori Badass and quickly grabs the two small light tubes in his left hand. Turning around, Va’aiga is already back on to his feet, he’s the motherfucking Maori Badass, it takes more than that to put him down! Albeit, the monster is still a bit dazed, causing Crow to run and unload a devastating knife edge chop across Va’aiga’s chest! Small cuts appear on his chest, but oh no... it acts as a mere wake up call, the Badass is alive once again! In desperation, the Antichrist Superstar fires another knife edge chop... ...but no! Va’aiga doesn’t acknowledge the chop and shouts “MY HOUSE” right before throwing his arm out, looking for the lariat! NOOOOOO! Crow ducks under it and as kicks Va’aiga in the testicles just as he turns around! The Maori cries out in agony as once again his balls have been hurt, but the worst is yet to come... as the champion gets both of the light tubes in his left hand... and shoves them down the pants of the challenger! Two light tubes are present in the Monster’s groin region... . .. ... AND CROW KICKS VA’AIGA IN THE CROTCH, SHATTERING THE GLASS LIGHT TUBE INSIDE THE MAORI’S PANTS! “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!” “Good god I’m not a commie! Did I just see what I thought I saw!?” Screams the play by play man. “I’m afraid you did, Axis! Va’aiga is never going to have children!” King responds with a tear. “And he’s never going to win a world title if he allows Crow to walk all over him now! Crow has taken the advantage by using his HARDCORE roots, and by god, Va’aiga NEEDS to get himself back into it!” The Maori Badass is in absolute agony on the canvas, clutching at his crotch, which is now probably bleeding. The Antichrist Superstar throws his arms out in the crucifix pose before positioning Va’aiga in the adequate position... for a top rope move. Crow is still limping and it’s probably not wise to climb the turnbuckles, but he’s a risk taker and will sacrifice anything to get the win. He grabs the chair he used prior and begins to ascend the turnbuckles. The champion’s up top and facing towards the crowd... we know what’s coming... it’s time for the Evenflow Moonsault! Holding the chair against his chest with his arms, Crow jumps off the top rope, performs a two seventy degree back flip and... ... .. . LANDS ON THE CANVAS!!! Va’aiga moved out of the way of the Evenflow Moonsault! Crow landed stomach first on the canvas and the chair! The Maori Badass quickly takes the opportunity and goes for a cover. ONE! . .. ... TWO! . .. ... .. . NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! The Antichrist Superstar kicks out! Wasting no time, Va’aiga jumps back to his feet and wrenches his opponent to a standing base. Latching onto an arm, the Maori Badass Irish whips the champion into the ropes. Crow comes off, but only to find himself lying on the mat in a matter of seconds as a result of a huge MAORI YAKUZA KICK! Va’aiga quickly follows this up by grabbing Crow by the throat with both hands and much like he did previously in the match, lift him up into the air and THROW him in the steel cage! The Antichrist Superstar cries out in agony, but no mercy is being shown as the Maori Badass picks him up and starts shoving his head into the steel cage! Crow starts bleeding for the nose and the cut that occurred earlier on his eyelid is also bleeding again, his face is a goddamn mess. As is Va’aiga’s, but this doesn’t worry the Maori as he throws Crow into the canvas like a rag doll. Walking over to the Antichristian Phenomenon, Va’aiga picks up the chair lying on the canvas and lifts it up into the air... ...then brings it down across the champion’s back! And he does another time! And one more time for good measure! With a sadistic smile, Va’aiga lifts Crow up as if he was going to give him a body slam... but falls to the side, dropping the champion on his head in the Southern Lights Bomb! COVER! ONE! . .. ... TWO! . .. ... .. . .. ..NNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! CROW JUST BARELY KICKS OUT OF THE MOVE AND SAVES HIS TITLE! This does not bother the Maori though as his eyes light up, he can smell the victory coming near and he picks Crow up from the fallen heap from which he lies. “TURN UP, KICK ASS!” Signals to the crowd he’s looking for the Maori Drop, and as the crowd cheers, the monster scoops Crow up... ...but no! SOMEHOW, IN SOME WAY, Crow slides out of the move and lands on his legs behind! He cringes as his left knee shoots pain through his body but sucks it up as Va’aiga turns around to face him... *SMACK!* DAS WUNDER KICK! The champion nails a roundhouse kick that cracks Va’aiga in the head and sends him down into the canvas! “Ladies and gentlemen, there is one minute remaining in the match up!” Funyon booms. Crow realises that he won’t be able to get the cover and that Va’aiga will fight back, and so he limps over to ropes... and starts to climb the cage! He’s climbing the cage! “What the hell!? Why is Crow climbing the goddamn cage!?” Axis screams. “Because he’s afraid of the Maori Badass, he’s bailing, he doesn’t care about losing his belt, he just wants to save himself from certain death!” King smirks. “No way, King! Crow’s not like that, there must be a reason!” Axis responds, showing his conviction. Crow is up on top of the cage and Va’aiga’s just gotten back up after being dazed by the champion’s vicious Das Wunder Kick! The Maori Badass starts screaming at Crow to get back into the ring. “GET BACK IN THE RING, YOU PUSSY! GET THE FUCK DOWN HERE!” In a rage, Va’aiga starts to violently shake the cage, trying to trip Crow up, to either send him back into the ring or to the outside, he’ll win the belt either way! ... CROW LOSES HIS FOOTING! ... .. . BUT HE GRABS A HOLD OF THE STEEL BARS AND STOPS HIMSELF FALL TO THE OUTSIDE! Immediately he pulls himself back up onto the small platform up the top of the cage. The Maori Badass keeps screaming obscenities at his opponent, but mockingly, Crow brings his index finger to his mouth asking for the challenger to be quiet for one moment. Then, pointing at the Smarktron, Crow starts to smirk. There’s less than thirty seconds remaining on the clock! “Oh oooh! I know what Crow’s doing right now, he’s stalling Va’aiga! If Va’aiga can’t pin him or make him submit in the thirty seconds, he loses the match and forfeits his SJL career! BRILLIANT strategy from our champion!” Axis screams. “Even though it almost cost him just before.” King rolls his eyes. The Maori Monster realises his peril and starts to climb up the cage as quickly as possible, and this causes Crow to take a defensive sitting stance... and tries to kick Va’aiga’s grip off... but no! Va’aiga batters Crow’s legs away and keeps ascending... “OOOOOOOOHHHH!!” The Maori fires a huge right hand towards Crow’s crotch! Quickly getting up to Crow’s level, Va’aiga applies a front face lock on his opponent! “YOU ARE MINE, CROW!!!!” Are the words the huge Maori screams before suplexing Crow up... ... .. . AND DDDOOOWWWWWWNNNNNNN TO THE CANVAS! A SUPER SUPERPLEX! BOTH BODIES BOUNCE OFF THE CANVAS! The time is ticking time and the audience counts along, but Va’aiga is winded and can’t make the cover straight away! “5!” He’s moving! “4!” Va’aiga throws the arm over Crow! “3!” ONE! . .. “2!” ... TWO! . .. ”1!” ... .. . *BBBBBBBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!* TTTTTTHHHHHHHHHRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! *DING! DING! DING!* “What the hell!? Who won!? Both men are down and out in the middle of the ring!” King exclaims. “I don’t know! Did Va’aiga get the pinfall in time or did what!?” Queries a confused Axis. Referee Kivell whispers Funyon the winner through the steel cage... “Ladies and gentlemen... the winner of this bout... and STILL the SJL World Heavyweight Champion, CCCCCCRRRROOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW!” “CROW WINS IT! HE WINS IT! Va’aiga’s SJL contract has been TERMINATED!” Axis shouts with a little bit of sadness in his voice. “I can’t believe it! Oh my god, Axis! What a match! We saw some great tactics come into play this match, and in the end, Crow JUST EDGED it out yet again! And well... Va’aiga’s gone. I feel sorry for the guy, he’s tried so damn hard to get where he’s got to.” “I agree. We will all miss his presence here in the SJL, but we can only wish him good luck for the future. Well, that’s it folks, you saw it here tonight. Crow wins and retains his belt, while Va’aiga loses and is gone... good fight, good night.” Fade out to the SJL logo.

Guest Goose749 Report post Posted June 16, 2003 The one mistake i did see - when time runs out, the match is to be declared a draw, according to stipulations on the card. Yes, you would retain the title, but Va'aiga would not have to retire. Other than that, great match. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rawknight 0 Report post Posted June 16, 2003 Very good match.. dunno about all the random hardcore stuff though dude, i'd save that for an actual hardcore match Or Va'aiga using leg psychology for that matter. Again we both came at the match from VERY different angles, which must have made Frost's task all the more tricky. There's certainly stuff in your match you did a lot better than in mine. It's nice that this time for once in my miserable 4 year career, I edged a very close contest rather than the other way round, mind *grin* oh and... "Off the ropes comes Crow and trying to make something out of nothing, he uses the momentum and jumps into the air – trying to nail a body press! But it’s not to be, as the Maori Badass captures Crow as he flies in the air... and he stops for a moment... before throwing Crow over head with an Exploder Suplex!" Pretty cool BUT if you get caught off a cross body you're chest to chest held against your opponent. That's the Maori Drop position dude, why use something weaker? A standing Maori Drop isn't a finish anyways. There that's an UTTER mega pedantic nitpick based on me knowing my own character Oh and Das means the, so it's Das Wunder Kick not a Das Wunder Kick and is it Das Wunder Kick or Die Wunder Kick.. hehehehe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest WrestlingDeacon Report post Posted June 16, 2003 Oh, lord yes this was close to call and a big problem for me was the different takes the guys did on the match. Both matches were really good and entertained me. Some things were done better by one guy, some the other. I think I could have went either way and been in the right. I applaud both of you for really jacking up the bar in the JL and writing two of the best and emotional matches I've marked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Crowe Report post Posted June 17, 2003 All your comments are appreciated, especially about Das Wunder Kick. And Card, I originally had the intention of playing up the storyline you used in your previous loss to me about Va'aiga learning new moves from Danny Williams as an excuse for leg psychology, but... I forgot to play it up in commentary. Once again, stupid brain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
