Rawknight 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2004 ::To be fair I should have checked. But I'm NOT fair... so I blame this loss entirely on Z. Ha.:: ::No you're right I should have checked.:: ::having said that The opposition's match WAS dead good:: The scene returns to the inside of the Conseco Fieldhouse in world famous Indianapolis, Indiana...where the scene of thousands of Indiana natives is replaced by a graphic previewing the next match. The smug looking Landon Maddix and Todd Royal with the intense World Champion Va'aiga stand on one side, three angry individuals in Annie Onita, Dace Night and Charlie Matthews on the other. As that graphic disappears, the scene cuts back to the cheering Indianapolis faithful. Amongst the many signs being thrust towards the sweeping camera read ‘Smarkdown- I Want My Money Back Damnit!’, ‘Go Go Gadget Dangerous!’ and ‘This Seat Sucks More Than Riley On His Recent Budget Holiday Trip To Bangkok’…which takes up two signs in length, but it’s worth it damnit! Eventually, after breaking away from the Indiana madhouse, the scene cuts down to ringside where Bobby Riley and Cyclone Comet are awaiting the beginning of the main event. "Welcome back to SWF Storm, where we have just taken our last commercial break..." Bobby Riley says greetingly. "Which of course means the main event is coming up next. And tonight, we guarantee you will see a main event...there'll be no Unnamed plots to sabotage this match." "That my deluded friend...is because there's no need to ruin this match. For starters, no-one is in danger of losing a limb in this match." "Well, I wouldn't be so sure of that Citizen Riley. With the mood not only Dace Night, but also Charlie Matthews and Annie Onita will be in tonight, I wouldn't be surprised to witness some Unnamed casualties tonight. And what a shame it would be for a man like Va'aiga to lose his World Title due to an injury." "Oh, I'm sure you'd love that Comet." "Ladies and gentlemen..." Funyon quickly interjects, garnering the attention of the entire crowd. "...the following six person tag team match is our MAIN EVENT...and is scheduled for one fall, with television time remaining." Suddenly, the faces of Va'aiga, John Duran, Landon Maddix and Todd Royal all fill the scene on the SmarkTron, as smoke begins to billow out onto the entrance way until just the SmarkTron itself is visible through the hazy blue smoke. Slowly three figures can just about be picked out in the smoke, as they step through the curtain. In the howling wind comes the stinging rain, See it driving nails into the souls on the tree of pain, From the firefly, a red orange glow, See the face of fear running scared in the valley below… The smoke is now penetrated by cyan strobes, as they rise through the blue smoke illuminating the three men standing amongst it. WHOOOOOOOOOOOAH White pyro explodes on the left side of the entrance... WHOOOOOOOOOOOAH ...followed up by a second burst from the right. BULLET THE BLUE SKY! BULLET THE BLUE SKY! BULLET THE BLUE! BULLET THE BLUE! "BOOOOOOOOOO!!!" The three men now emerge from the increasingly thinning smoke, Va'aiga in the middle with Todd Royal and Landon Maddix flanking him on either side. The SWF Champion and 'The Almighty Todd' look all business, while Landon cannot resist taunting the crowd as he follows the two. In the locust wind comes a rattle and hum, Jacob wrestled the angel and the angel was overcome, You plant a demon seed, you raise a flower of fire, See them burning crosses, see the flames higher and higher! BBBOOOOOOMMMMM!!! All three men assemble in the middle of the ring, as flames shoot up from around the ring posts...the smoke and lights all disappearing, as Funyon finally gets chance to make his announcements. "Introducing team number one...at a total combined weight of seven hundred and thirty nine pounds. They represent the Unnamed...LANDON 'LA CUCARACHA' MADDIX...TODD ROYAL...and the SWF World Heavyweight Champion...VA'AAAIIIGAAA!!!" All three men throw their arms in the air, to a chorus of boos from the sold-out Indiana crowd. "The force to be reckoned with Cyclone." Riley says admiringly. Suddenly, the slow intro of Megumi Hayashibara's "Risky Gamble" begins to echo through the arena, the crowd erupt into cheers. The figure of the suited Annie Onita appears of the SmarkTron, hands held out in the position of a gun. The view pans around her until lined up with her fingers... BBBOOOOOOMMMMM!!! Blue pyro erupts around the Hardcore Queen, as she walks out from the back, minus her sister due to the rules of outside parties being banned from ringside. With her trademark cigar in her hand, Annie walks slowly down the ramp and enters the ring, showing no fear of the Unnamed. "And the opponents...first, hailing from Tokyo Japan! She weighs one hundred and seventy five pounds. The Hardcore Queen...AAANNIIIEEE...'IIICCCHHHIIIBAAAN'...OOONIIITAAA!!!" As soon as Funyon finishes up the introduction, the lights cut around the arena...and Metallica's "Some Kind Of Monster" begins to penetrate the arena, bringing the crowd to their feet again. The intimidating presence of Charlie 'The Grappler' Matthews eventually steps out into the single white spotlight focused on the entrance way, before striding down the rampway. "From Kansas City Missouri...weighing in at three hundred and one pounds. He is the number one contender...'THE GRRRAAAPLEEERRR'...CHARLIE MAAATHEEEWWWSSS!!!" Matthews rolls into the ring, shaking hands with Annie Onita as the Unnamed trio look on from the corner. Meanwhile, "Hero" by Nightrage kicks into through the P.A system, bringing every single soul in the arena to their feet. White pyro erupts on the entrance way, but there's no sign of Dace himself yet. "And their partner...from Birmingham England! He weighs in at two hundred and fifty two pounds. THE HIGH PRIEST OF HORROCORE...this is DACE..." FUCKIN' "NIIIIIGHT!!!" The Conseco Fieldhouse erupts again, as Dace suddenly comes charging down the aisle, sliding head-long into the ring, which causes the three Unnamed members to flee the ring! Dace tries to exit the ring right after them, but the combined force of referee Nick Soapdish and his two tag team partners stop him. "Annie and Grappler are trying to let cooler heads prevail here...but that's easier said than done with Citizen Night in this mood!" "DACE! DACE! DACE!" The crowd begin to chant the name of the High Priest of Horrorcore, as Dace is dragged away to his corner, trying to be calmed down by Annie and Grappler, who don't want to see themselves disqualified before the match even begins. The Unnamed meanwhile try to regroup themselves on the outside, all three of them hurling abuse at the crowd as they receive it back in turn. "This is going to be a heated brawl tonight Bobbo. You can feel it in the air, you can see it in Dace's face..." "I'm looking at Dace's face, and all I see is a psychotic lunatic!" Finally order seems to be restored, and Dace is finally calm enough to go to the apron. Annie elects herself to start the match, as meanwhile Landon is ready to start for the Unnamed...looking surprisingly confident. *DING DING DING* The bell rings, as Landon bounds into the centre of the ring. Annie is however looking over Landon's shoulder, already pointing at the World Champion. "Annie wants the champion in the ring...and can you blame her!?!" "Yes..." Riley responds. "She'll be the one to blame when the surgeons have to re-attach her head to her shoulders if Va'aiga gets in with her!" Taking exception to Annie looking past him, Landon points to himself, but the Hardcore Queen still wants Va'aiga...so Landon slaps Annie in the face!!! OOOOOHHH The slap takes Annie's mind off Va'aiga, and right onto Landon...smashing Landon across the knee with a straight kick in retaliation. Furiously she lunges forward into a collar and elbow tie-up, which Maddix fights with all his might. Slowly Annie starts to push Landon to the corner...but Landon manages to slip out and snap on a side headlock. He wrenches up on the neck quickly, getting a little over-confident as he starts to slap Annie's head with his free hand. Annie responds by pushing Landon off the ropes, and the Disciple comes back looking for a shoulderblock...but 'Ichiban' stands tall, and knocks Landon flying with a shoulderblock of her own!!! RRRAAAHHH!!! "Annie just overpowered Landon Maddix!" yells Cyclone over the roaring crowd. "And look at the anger in Va'aiga's eyes!" Landon gets back to his knees, glaring at Annie who smiles sarcastically. "IT - CHI - BAN! IT - CHI - BAN! IT - CHI - BAN!" The chants ring out, as Landon initiates another tie-up. The intergender two-some jockey for position, until Annie locks on a side-headlock. Landon quickly shoves Annie into the ropes, and drops to the mat...Annie leaping over Maddix, and instantly putting the brakes on. By the time Landon scrambles up, Onita is waiting for him...with a Drop Kiss! Instantly Landon gets back to his feet and swings with a right hand. Annie ducks it easily, and throws Landon over with a hiptoss. This time Annie runs to the ropes...Landon drops down again, as Annie jumps over and this time continues to the ropes. Landon is quickly up, running to the opposite ropes and flying through the air... ...Annie ducks the flying forearms from Maddix, running onto the ropes, and launching off with a flying forearm of her own!!! "DAMN IT!" snaps Riley! "How does she do that?" "Annie knows Landon well Bobby. After all, she commentated on every single one of Landon's SJL matches...she's seen that flying forearm attempted by Landon many a time." As Maddix lays dazed on the canvas, Annie suddenly catches something out of the corner of her eye. Turning to the corner, a smile emerges on Annie's face, as Dace Night has his hand outstretched in the corner. After a quick play to the crowd, Annie walks over... ...AND TAGS IN DACE!!! RAAAAAHHH!!! "Oh...NO!" "Dace Night is in!" shouts Cyclone. *SLAP* "And Landon is out!" Riley yells in response. As soon as Dace stepped into the ring, Landon ran over to his corner and slapped Todd across the chest, bringing him into the ring. By now Landon has already bailed to the outside, as Todd glares at him from the apron. Landon's lame excuse of a 'bad knee' cuts no ice with Todd, who is forced to cautiously enter the ring. "DACE! DACE! DACE!" The chants ring out again, as Todd cautiously moves closer to Dace. Suddenly, Va'aiga begins to enter the ring...conveniently leaving one foot outside of the ring, so that he can make a quick escape as Dace charges over. Quickly Todd takes advantage, nailing Dace from behind with right hands. The blows stagger Dace only slightly, as Todd grabs a hold of the right arm and tries to irish whip Night across the ring. The Hardcore Goth is simply to strong for Todd though, and he easily counters. Todd comes flying off the ropes...straight into the waiting arms of Dace, who DRILLS Todd with a powerslam! "Oh...this is not good..." whines Riley. "This is not good." "Losing your confidence there Bobbo?" Cyclone beams. Todd slowly gets back up clutching his back, as Dace waits with a boot to the gut. Looking over at Va'aiga, Dace throws up the horns to a big pop from the crowd, before backing Todd into the ropes, and whipping him across the ring. Dace backs off the ropes himself, and charges forward at Todd...Lariating Royal CLEAR off his feet! The fuming World Champion points a threatening finger at Dace, as he invites the Maori Badass into the ring. Instead, Landon Maddix enters and charges at Dace...who swings his elbow out, smashing 'La Cucaracha' in the jaw!!! "The number one contenders are getting rocked here!" exclaims Riley. "And still Va'aiga wants no part of this match." Cyclone replies. "Hey...don't imply that Va'aiga is scared, 'cause he's not. He's just waiting for the right time to come in." "Which no doubt will be when the opponent is unable to defend him or her self." Dace turns back to the corner, and tags in Matthews, who quickly enters the ring and grabs Landon by the hair...hurling him over the top rope, before turning his attentions to Todd. Todd throws a right hand, which connects with Matthews, but doesn't phase him. He quickly retaliates with a big clubbing shot to the back, which takes Royal right off his feet. Grappler pulls him up, and whips Todd to the ropes. Royal comes back and swings with a clothesline, the blow managing to rock Matthews only slightly. Royal backs up, and swings with another clothesline...Grappler ducking it, and raising Royal onto his shoulders... ...and spinning... ...360 degrees... ...720 degrees... ...and another full 360 degrees with the airplane spin, before setting the wobbling Royal down to his feet. Woozy, Todd swings with a wild right which Grappler avoids, before hitting a boot to the gut. Tagging in Annie quickly, Grappler than grabs Todd...and locks him in the BEARHUG~! Annie instantly runs across the apron, and begins to climb to the top rope, which Soapdish allows despite Va'aiga's protests. "BOOO - RRRIIING... ...BOOO - RRRIIING... ...BOOO - RRRIIING!!!" The crowd take great pleasure in their reminiscing chants, as Todd looks to be nearing submission. It matters not however, as Annie finally reaches the top rope...before diving off with a cross-body, taking Todd out of the bear-hug, and into a pinning combination... ...OOOOONNNEEEEE ...TTTWWWWWOOOOO ...Kickout by Todd! "These young Unnamed bucks are being rocked...I doubt they knew what they were getting themselves into here tonight Bobby!" "I don't know Comet, but things need to change, and pronto!" Annie hops to her feet, grabbing a handful of Todd's hair and pulling him up to his feet. Quickly she fires a couple of stiff kicks to the right knee, and a third to the left which drops Todd down to his knees. Again Annie grabs a handful of hair...but suddenly Todd reaches an arm up, and jams his thumb into Annie's right eye!!! BBBOOOOOOOOO!!! "What a low-down, no good, unlawful..." "Beautiful move!" interrupts Riley. Todd quickly scrambles across the ring on his knees...and tags in Va'aiga!!! The SWF World Champion finally enters the ring, and strides right towards the temporarily blinded Annie...the crowd booing wildly as he does so. The World Champ grabs Annie by the hair, and hooks her arm over his shoulder. Quickly, hooking a hold of her pants, Va'aiga pops his hips and throws Annie over his head with an Exploder Suplex, The Hardcore Queen bouncing off the mat from the impact. Va’aiga crawls over to Annie, flips her over onto her back and makes the cover... ...OOONNNEEEEE ...TTT... ...Dace pulls Va'aiga off, and goes to attack the Maori Badass. Soapdish does his best to stand in Dace's way, as suddenly into the ring roll both Todd and Landon. Annie is up, but left doubled over from the suplex...as Landon and Todd both hook Annie's head, and dive backwards, dropping Annie on her head with a Double DDT!!! BBBOOOOOOOOOO!!! Todd and Landon scramble from the ring, as Dace is finally coaxed back onto the apron by Nick Soapdish. "These two men, Citizens Landon and Todd...they have a tendency to cheat liberally, don't they Bobbo?" "Hey...it's not cheating 'till the referee sees it." Riley says, doing his best Jesse Ventura impression. "And luckily, this guy Soapdish is a clueless putz." "I've heard the same thing said about you Citizen Riley..." Turning back to Annie, Va'aiga walks over slowly, with a big smile on his face. "WHAT'S MY NAME?" The World Champion yells out towards the crowd, as Annie slowly starts to pull herself up. "IT - CHI - BAN! IT - CHI - BAN! IT - CHI - BAN!" The masked Va'aiga grabs Annie by the hair, dragging her to her feet before driving his knee into her gut. A right hand connects with Annie, knocking her down. But, the gutsy female heroine fights back to her feet. Va'aiga nails a second right hand, only for Annie to get up sharply again...so Va'aiga nails a boot to the gut, and makes a tag out to Landon Maddix. "There's a tag to Landon. Va'aiga didn't stay in too long did he?" "Well, I guess Va'aiga got tired of putting Annie on her ass time and time again." Cockily Landon enters the ring, and shoves Annie towards the corner...having to nail a right hand to back Annie fully into the buckles. A couple more right hands follow, before Landon irish whips Onita across the ring, and to the opposite corner. Annie hits the buckles hard, and rebounds out... *SMACK!* ...into a superkick!!! On one knee, Maddix cockily holds his hands in the air, to boos from the crowd obviously, before walking back to the corner and making the tag to Todd. Quickly the head of the House Of Todd rushes over to Annie, preventing her from reaching her feet by driving the flat of his boot across her head. The devious pair grab Annie and lift her grabbing one arm each, and the pair slingshot poor Annie across the ring. Annie rushes back as her two cruiserweight opponents set up a double clothesline but the Hardcore Queen ducks the blow. Annie hurtles into the ropes on the other side and as she bounces back towards the slowly turning House of Todd, Annie leaps and catches both of them with a flying forearm! The House collapse to the mat as Annie staggers towards her own corner. “Annie is going for the corner,” states an excited Comet, “this could be the tag the Hardcore Queen needs. Stretching out and straining Annie flicks out her fingernails as Todd Royal and Landon Maddix leap for her heels. Dace Night reaches out himself, grabbing hold of the tag rope and Annie JUUUUUST flips Dace Night’s fingertips. The crowd EXPLODES as Dace leaps into the ring and fires off a left, right, left, right combination alternating between Maddix and Royal. “Dace Night is exploding here tonight,” screams Comet. “Yeah just like he was exploded all over last week,” sniggers his fellow commentator Bobby Riley. Dace grabs for Royal and slams the young star straight down to the mat. Dace drops an elbow right into the heart of Royal and rolls away ensuring that Maddix’s attempt of an elbow drop of his own fell well wide of the mark. Soapdish goes over to Maddix as he stands up and the referee orders La Cucaracha out of the ring. Royal staggers to his feet as Dace backs off then rushes back in with… “THE YAKUZA KICK! Royal drops like a stone!” “Royal is finished, as much as I hate to admit it,” adds Riley Hooking Royal’s leg lazily with one hand Dace leans back and raises a finger along with the chant of the crowd… “ONE!” “TWO!” “THREE!” “FOUR!” “FIVE!” …and referee Mark Soapdish is far too busy arguing in the corner with Landon Maddix as Maddix refuses to be properly removed from the ring. Dace rolls off Royal and turns to the referee, looking to attract Soapdish’s attention. Seeing an opportunity, Todd Royal crawls up to his knees and just before Soapdish turns round Royal blasts him with a harsh UPPERCUT TO THE BALLS! The crowd oohs in sympathy for Dace as the Hardcore Brummie drops to the mat. “Todd Royal just low blowed Dace Night!” screams Comet, adding “he should be disqualified!” Riley retorts “The referee didn’t see it Comet, therefore it’s not an offence.” As Dace Night regains his bearings slowly, Royal begins scrabbling his way towards the Unnamed’s corner. Reaching out Royal tags in The Maori Badass and the two arch nemeses stare off. Va’iaga swings for Dace and connects with a left jab, Dace not quite having the wherewithal to block it, still stinging from the low blow. Va’aiga grabs for the reeling Dace and locks in a tight waistlock, spinning round and driving Dace belly to belly style into the mat. “A nice orbital belly to belly Suplex there from the Maori,” comments Comet. “Va’aiga will be looking to dominate Dace Night – to send a message to the Unholy Trinity,” adds Riley. Va’aiga rolls off Dace and throws in a couple of press ups, drawing the wrath of the crowd, before slowly standing and forcing Dace to roll away with a quick series of stomps. As the Brummie stands, Va’aiga lifts a knee into Dace’s stomach, bending him double and the Maori locks in a tight side headlock. Va’aiga backs off, keeping Dace locked in thight and as the Maori reaches his own croner, he barks out the order “Tag me!” and Landon Maddix tags himself in on Va’aiga’s back, smashing Dace downwards out of the headlock with a rope assisted bionic elbow to the upper back. “More solid tag team wrestling form the Unnamed,” muses Bobby Riley, “They’re proving to be much more a coherent unit than their thrown together opposition.” “I’m surprised, and maybe I shouldn’t be, that Todd Royal and Landon Maddix haven’t looked outclassed in the company of Annie, Dace and Grappler,” confesses Comet. Leaping into the air, Maddix extends a leg and spins round, dropping it across the throat of Dace Night. Maddix rolls off and stands, throwing the thumbs up to his mentor standing on the ring apron. Royal gives his disciple the thumbs up back (and the crowd boos) as Maddix grabs Dace and hoists him up before slingshotting the Brummie across the ring. As the Brummie gets back off the ropes Maddix charges and rolls forwards, catching Dace on the head with a dramatic koppou kick. Dace drops to the mat and Landon rolls across to cover… ONE! TWO! ..and Dace rolls out of the pinfall, throwing Maddix aside. “Maybe a little early for a pin combination there,” adds Comet wryly. Lifting Dace up in a side headlock Maddix kicks back a leg and throws his entire body backwards, spiking Dace on the mat with a DDT of some power. Landon leaps up and positions himself next to Dace before leaping into the air and backflipping down onto Dace with a STANDING STAR PRESS! “Standing Star Press to the back! Dace looks to be in some pain, Comet,” shouts Riley with a smug edge to his voice. “Dace Night has endured worse pain than this and survived,” retorts Comet,” on many, many occasions.” Dragging Dace Night across the canvas with one arm, and straining with the effort, Maddix reaches over and tags back in the Maori Badass. Va’aiga steps back over into the ring and looks down dismissively at his former tag team partner before firing a stomp off into Dace’s back. Va’aiga wrenches Dace up and pushes Dace off a half step. The Maori badass sticks his head under Dace’s arm and falls backwards firing Dace over with a high angle back Suplex. Va’aiga floats over and as Soapdish dorps to the mat, Va’aiga presses his cover… ONE! TWO! T.. and Dace Night kicks out. “Close call for Dace there,” comments Riley. “WHAT’S MY NAME!” screams Va’aiga, right into Dace’s face as the Predator sets Dace up for another high impact move. Va’aiga softens Dace up with a vicious headbutt, his neck cracking round with a disgusting snap as the move is delivered, and Va’aiga allows himself a little laugh as Dace drops back holding his head. The Maori grabs Dace and forces the Brummie hard into a standing head scissors. Va’aiga wrenches the leader of the Unholy Trinity up and holds him for a second atop this big Maori shoulders, before SMASHING Dace down to the mat with a massive POWERBOMB! “That had to hurt, Comet” says master of the obvious Bobby Riley. “Can the Predator get the pinfall?” questions Riley. Va’agia rolls across onto Dace’s stomach and hooks a leg… ONE! TWO! TH.. and Dace kicks out. The crowd cheers as the High Priest Of Horrorcore rolls away and reaches out towards his corner, but Va’aiga makes damn sure to drag him back towards the middle of the ring, and subsequently to his own corner where the now recovered Todd Royal tags himself in. “Here comes Royal. Expect underhand tactics!” comments the Cyclone Comet, not hiding his disgust for Todd Royal. Royal picks up Dace by the hair and fires off a pair of quick forearms. Dace stumbles backwards and fires off a wild elbow strike, catching Royal off guard but the cocky young star responds with a quick eye rake, making DAMN sure Dace can’t regain his bearings. Royal grabs a side headlock and slings an arm of Dace over him, before whipping Dace over with a vicious snap Suplex, holding the chancery on the mat. “That’s the first part of the federation’s only GOOD trinity” adds Riley helpfully. With a swivel of his hips, Todd Royal gets back up to a vertical position, Dace still stuck in the headlock dragged up with him. Royal lifts Dace up again and slings him over with another vertical Suplex, a traditional one this time. Royal pops his hips again and stands, this time going for a longer, more delayed vertical Suplex but Dace shifts his weight and the whole mess collapses with Dace Night on top! The referee counts… ONE! TWO! TH.. and Maddix leaps into the ring and breaks up the count. Soapdish signals two. The referee turns to maddix as he leaves the ring again as Dace turns and makes a dive for his corner, tagging in Charlie Matthews! Matthews leaps over into the ring and sparks out Todd Royal with a right hand! Matthews beckons Va’aiga into the ring but Mark Soapdish intervenes and forces Matthews back to his own corner! “WHAT?” exclaims Comet, “what in the blue blazes?” “The referee didn’t see the tag. Therefore it’s not a tag. He WAS concentrating on Maddix, but that’s his own poor judgement.” Royal leaps over to his own corner and tags in Va’aiga again, the Maori grabbing for Dace’s leg and hauling him into the middle of the ring to prevent a recognized tag. The Predator, on the hunt again, grabs for Dace and fires off a quick left jab, measuring his punch on the staggering Brummie with boxer like accuracy. Va’aiga fires off a second left jab and Dace is left reeling again. A third powerfully thrown jab is the regular set up, as you’d expect, for the world renowned kiss of the fist and the MASSIVE RIGHT HOOK! Dace drops to the mat and Va’iaga follows, looking for a pinfall but not before a massive… “BOO-YAH!” The crowd drops into boo mode again as Va’aiga hooks a leg… ONE! TWO! TH.. and Dace kicks out. “Another close call,” play-by-plays Comet, “Dace Night is down but he’s far from out!” Va’aiga lifts up Dace and throws the Brummie with a massive Irish Whip into the Unnamed’s corner. A duet of clubbing forearms greets Dace as Va’aiga tags in Todd Royal and the Todd given talent for tag shows up quickly as Royal slingshots over the top rope, driving his leg into dace’s chest before quickly standing, tagging out and watching Landon Maddix hit the same move again! The Unnamed complete the cycle of tag outs and Landon tags his team leader Va’aiga back in again. “More solid tag team coherency being shown by the Unnamed, Comet.” “Yes Robert, but will it be enough to stop Dace Night? “Who can say?” finishes Bobby Riley as Va’aiga lifts Dace Night up again, this time crossing his arms and clutching his own wrist through Dace Night’s legs. Va’aiga falls backwards and drives Dace Night down with an exploder Suplex. Va’aiga hops to his feet and screams “DROOOOOOP!” as the crowd greet him with a massive round of booing. The Maori Badass wrenches Dace up across his chest and takes a few paces back into the ropes, setting up room for the Running Maori Drop, but as he takes those quick steps forwards before jumping, Aniie leaps into the ring and dropkicks Dace in the back! The brummie reels with pain but lands solidly on the Maori Badd body press style and Mark Soapdish drops to count... ONE! TWO! TH.. and FUMING Va’aiga powers out and hops to his feet. Landon Maddix and Todd Royal exchange a high five as Soapdish ushers Annie out of the ring and Maddix leaps onto the middle rope and follows a Va’aiga Vertical Suplex with a massive somersault leg drop! Landon hops off and celebrates, looking for the approval of Todd Royal and Royal nods as Landon turns back to Dace. “A fake tag and the referee MISSED it.” Says an incredulous Comet. “I saw the tag. I’m sure the referee saw it too. Hyper vision isn’t one of your many superhero powers, Comet.” Replies a smirking Riley. As Dance stands slowly, Maddix sprints across the ring and grabs Dace at a stagger, whipping round to a crucifix pin position before driving Dace down to the mat with the Nose Job! Landon gets up sharpish and drags Dace into the middle of the ring before hopping up onto the middle rope and leaping off with a swandive headbutt! Landon rushes over to tag in his mentor again, but Royal instructs Maddix to go for the pin instead and Maddix shrugs and complies with the request… ONE! TWO! TH.. and Dace kicks out AGAIN! “I’m not sure how much more of this Dace Night can take,” calls Comet as Dace stays lying on the mat and Landon looks up to a neutral corner. The young cruiserweight leaps out onto the ring apron! Landon slingshots back into the ring bouncing off the second rope, then the top rope before sailing gracefully backwards in the FLA-FLAMING MOONSAULT…. AND MISSES AS DACE NIGHT ROLLS AWAY! Dace begins to crawl for his corner as Maddix crawls towards his own. Reaching out Maddix looks for the outstretched arm of Todd Royal and Megan Skye looks on, her voice the only one screaming and cheering for Maddix as the crowd start an almight chant of “GRAP-LER! GRAP-LER” for Charlie Matthews. “Whoever makes the tag has the advantage in this match,” shouts Comet. “Come on Dace, you KNOW you can make the tag!” Dace Night stretch as he crawls, and the crowd cheers turn briefly to boos as Maddix tags in his mentor Todd Royal and Royal rushes across the floor and stops Dace’s progress. The high priest of Horrocore gets to his feet and as Royal swings and misses a kick, Dace charges in and sparks Royal with an elbow! The crowd cheers wildly as Dace falls away and rolls off the ring apron… tagging Charlie Matthews on his way down!!! “Royal is in, but Charlie Mathhews is in too! All hell is breaking loose!” screams Comet wildly! Not needing time to measure his strikes the Grappler fires a solid European uppercut, knocking down Royal. Maddix stands and charges but that only meets with a forearm too. Royal stands again and gets forearmed too. Royal gets up and BANG Royal goes down again. Maddix tries again, same fate. The Grappler dismissively body slams Royal down and grabs Maddix in a tight bearhug. The crowd draws breath, expecting a prolonged hold from the master of slow technical bouts, but instead Annie Onita hops up onto the ropes and fires off a missile dropkick, knocking Landon Maddix out of the bearhug! “hat a double team!” exclaims Comet, Riley responding sarcastically “Oh NOW you approve of double teams.” Ann Onita jumps to her feet and makes the Ichiban pose, working the crowd into a frenzy as she turns, looking into the Unnamed corner only to be surprised by the onrushing EVIL, NASTY, FULL HEAD OF STEAM, HEY I’M NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN THE RING AND YOU’RE SURE AS HELL WISHING I WASN’T LAAAAAAAARIIIIIIAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Annie pancakes down onto the mat as Va’aiga turns to face the Grappler… “This is it… Va’aiga and the Grappler are about to go at it!” …and Charlie Matthews suprises Va’aiga with a massive kick to the sternum! The Grappler grabs up Va’aiga and hoists the Maori up onto his shoulder before driving Va’aiga down HARD into the mat with THE OLD SCHOOL POWERBOMB!!!! “POWERBOMB! POWERBOMB!” screeches Comet as Grappler drops to cover… “ONE!” “TWO!” “THREE!!!!” …but Mark Soapdish wasn’t counting! “Not the legal man,” notes Riley, “so no need to count.” The Grappler picks Va’aiga up and slings him away, Soapdish checking to see him out of the ring as Todd Royal sees another chance and dives in CATCHING GRAPPLER WITH ANOTHER LOW BLOW!!! The crowd goes “Ooh!” again! Royal stands and back off, using the ropes as a crossbow as he runs at the kneeling and winded Grappler and springing off an outstretched knee Royal hits the SHINING WIZARD! With a shower of spit Grappler drops back to the mat. Va’aiga hops off the ring apron and sneaks round into a position where he can pull Annie out of the ring as Royal has his own heavy moving task dragging Grappler into the Unnamed’s corner. “This could be it,” calls Riley, “Dace Night is out, Annie is out, there’s no-one left to save Grappler from the…” Royal lifts Grapper up and sets up a high angle back Suplex… “FALL.. Landon Maddix leaps up onto the top turnbuckle… “FROM.. …and Madddix leaps off with a vicious guillotine leg drop across the throat of the Grappler as Maddix comletes the back Suplex! “GRACE!!!” Grappler flops in the middle of the ring and Mark Soapdish is in perfect position as Royal hooks a leg… ONE! TWO! THREE!!!!!! “TODD BE PRAISED! TODD ROYAL HAS PINNED THE #1 CONTENDER TO THE WORLD TITLE!” screams Riley, HIS voice raised this time. “Without dubious amount of chicanery and skullduggery, Grappler would have already pinned the World Champion for the first time,” comes the incredulous reply from the Cyclone Comet, “I hardly think justice has been done tonight. Meanwhile on the outside of the ring Va’aiga had Ann Onita in perfect position for a little revenge on the Hardcore Queen. As the House of Todd leave in victory, the Maori only has thoughts on a little extra punishment on his mind. Va’aiga gutwrenches Ann Onita up, but he doesn’t notice the recovered and rushing DACE NIGHT! DACE SMASHES VA’AIGA’S CHEEKBONE WITH AN ELBOW AND THE MAORI DROPS LIKE A STONE! “He’s all yours!” grunts Dace as he slides the Maori into the ring and the fuming Charlie Matthews. Matthews picks Va’aiga off the mat and quickly grabs and foreces him up onto the Grappler’s shoulders, before smashing him down to the mat with a second OLD SCHOOL POWERBOMB!!!! The crowd all chant along, lead by a pointing and waving Annie as Dace Night rolls into the ring to count the pin fall! “ONE!” “TWO!!!” “THREE!!!” “A little moral vengeance for Dace Night and Charlie “The Grappler” Matthews,” calls Comet, “Finally a happy note on which to end the show on. For Bobby Riley this is the Cyclone Comet saying stay tuned to SWF programming!” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the.weej 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2004 Va'aiga has my PM on this match, and he may feel free to share it with Landon and Todd if he wants. That said, I'll say this much: It was close. It was more or less decided by the opposition's match being better in specific areas. But... Landon and Royal, you two have fucking ridiculous chemistry, and if you'd had maybe another three matches of experience each, I don't think this would have lost. I give fair warning to everyone now: They will be owning you (yes, you) in a month, maybe two. -Z Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ToddRoyal Report post Posted February 21, 2004 I take some (a lot) of the responsibility for the deadline busting nature of this match. I had very little time to write this week and as a result wrote very little and sent it to Va'aiga late. So much of the chemisty Z is talking about was probably just Landon writing by himself. Who he obviously has a lot of chemistry with. Yeah, I suck. But hopefully we WILL be having good matches down the road. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted February 21, 2004 Not sure why Dace suddenly started playing face in peril...I mean, he's Dace Fuckin' Night. But I'm glad you guys carried on this match so well. I enjoyed it. Course, I enjoyed the face's match too. Anywho...that's the best I've wrote IMO since the Tables Match with Helmsley, so I'm pleased enough. And hey, Z giving us praise = good stuff.

Rawknight 0 Report post Posted February 22, 2004 Dace plays Ricky Morton cos it's an extended tag match, Even start, Annie plays FIP first half, Dace second half and Grap's fresh man for the finish. You might notice the first hot tag to Dace, visual pin and skullduggery to put us back in control happens suspiciously near the 3K mark Plus Dace played face in peril for about 80% of Va'aiga/Dace matches, including all of our sucessful title reign, so I wrote what I'm used to a bit.
