Toxxic 0 Report post Posted June 8, 2004 The screen shows Kibagami and Toxxic, both down on the mat after Kibagami delivered the Dangerous Backdrop in the six-man tag match on Smarkdown. Each man slowly starts to crawl towards his corner as in the background, Sexton Hardcastle makes his count. As the footage plays, Toxxic’s distinctive British accent does a voice-over of sorts. “The referee’s ten-count. It’s a long time.” The footage changes, and it now shows Kibagami reaching up to tag in Dace Night, and Toxxic tagging in Tom Flesher. “We’ve both felt it. Different to your basic one-two-three, different to pushing your opponent down and keeping them there. You have to hurt him so badly he cannot stand.” The screen cuts to moments after Toxxic won his first SWF Title - the Hardcore Gamer’s Championship, won at the expense of Aecas at From The Fire. The Straight-Edge Sensation is backing up the ramp, belt slung over his shoulder, bloody and exhausted and looking back at the ring with a mixture of pride and regret. It was the last night the fans would ever cheer for him. “I’ve said before that I don’t enjoy hurting people, I just enjoy winning. I won’t enjoy hurting you on Sunday, Nathaniel... but I will enjoy beating you.” The match is Toxxic vs Blazenwing. David sets up the Full Effect and lashes his boot out at Toxxic’s jaw - but the straight-edger catches it. And one side of his mouth quirks up in a humourless grin. “No - I need to beat you.” The screen shows the Last Man Standing match from Battleground. Nathaniel Kibagami punches Zenon in the head, and the interim Commissioner goes down... and stays down. “We all know you can do it, Kibagami. But can you do it to me? Sure, you’ve got moves that can keep me down-” [The shot cuts to a still frame of the moment Kibagami dropped Toxxic on his head with the Demonstar Driver in their second meeting] “-but first you’ve got to catch me.” The footage from Genesis IV plays, of Edwin MacPhisto delivering the Air MacPhisto to Nathaniel Kibagami. “I’m 11 years younger than you, so that’s eleven years’ less abuse.” The screen shows the Southern Lights Bomb from Va’aiga, and the unnatural angle of Kibagami’s neck on impact. “Then there’s the two broken necks, as well. You see Nathaniel, I keep myself in shape...” More footage from Genesis IV - this time, Silent sitting up at the count of six after a MacPhisto enziguiri. “...I’ve never ravaged my body with the painkillers, the anabolics, the drugs. Even if you’ve jacked them in, I know for a fact you’re still on the cigarettes. After fifteen minutes-” The screen shows Toxxic ducking the springboard gamengiri in the corner. “-twenty minutes-” Toxxic evades the Fall From Grace. “-twenty-five minutes-” The footage shows Kibagami Irish-whipping Toxxic into the turnbuckles, only for the rookie to vault upwards and then backwards with the Role Reversal. “-when your neck is screaming and your legs are burning, when you’re trying to suck in air but all you’re breathing is the black shit that coats your lungs - will you still be able to get up? Will you still be able to carry on? I won’t make mistakes this time...” The screen shows the moment that Toxxic attempted a hurricanrana on the River Dragon, and slows down to a freeze frame as Kibagami traps the straight-edger’s arms behind his back, ready for the Demonstar. “...I can afford to wait you out. If you think you’ve heard the last of me...” Footage plays from Toxxic and Kibagami’s first meeting - the straight-edger has Kibagami on his shoulders in a Fireman’s Carry position, then spins him off and sits out, hooking the leg on the way down. Kibagami’s head crunches into the canvas with the Caffeine Bomb- “Prepare To Be Proved Wrong.” Suddenly, Bad Religion’s ‘Sinister Rouge’ kicks in as moments from each man’s careers flash up on the screen in quick succession. -Toxxic taking Mike Van Siclen off a balcony and through a table with the Toxxic Shock Syndrome... -Kibagami getting up from the Extinction Level Event onto a chair, and a close-up of Alex Zenon’s shocked expression... -Toxxic shoving half a lightube between Aecas’ teeth and delivering the infamous Glass Jawbreaker... -Kibagami burying an elbow in Janus’ chest with the Last Rites... -Toxxic backflipping through the air to land the Underkill across Dace Night’s throat... -Kibagami countering a Todd Cortez hurricanrana with the Demonstar Driver... -Toxxic posing on the turnbuckles with the Hardcore Gamers and ICTV belts... -Kibagami spiralling downwards to hit the Year of the Dragon on Danny Williams... -Toxxic dropping Jake Helmsley through an open chair with the Caffeine Bomb... -An exhausted Nathanial Kibagami triumphantly raising the SWF World Heavyweight Title above his head... -Toxxic attacking Kibagami with a pipe after his loss to Williams in the rematch... -Kibagami throwing Toxxic through the glass doors of the General Motors Place... The images flash by, faster and faster, until the song comes to its explosive end and the screen is dark for a moment. Then... 13th HOUR TOXXIC The screen shows Toxxic taking Insane Luchador off the ladder and through a table with the Dangerlust. NATHANIEL KIBAGAMI The moment from Genesis IV when Silent delivered the Demonstar Driver from the second rope, ending Edwin MacPhisto’s career. LAST MAN STANDING...

Above Average 0 Report post Posted June 9, 2004 This kid is scary. I was unsure if you guys should be doing a LMS match yet, because it's been built as the feds HIAC (it's ended about four careers), and you guys have plenty of time to drag out a feud, unless Kibs is retiring or something -- but I'll be damned if I don't like this promo and the LMS stip now.
