Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 The first shot we see is of an Australian Flag flying proudly, a sea of people behind it, and their deafening cheers drowning out any other sounds that could possibly be heard… The camera pans out to see Michael Buffer standing in the middle of the OAOAST ring, a mildly attractive woman dressed in scantily clad attire next to him. They are in a large arena, much larger than any normal HeldDown program, and one that rivals the size of the AngleMania crowd. BUFFER Ladies and Gentlemen, here to sing the Australian National Anthem, ARIA Award-winning singer known to the world for her great ass… KYLIE MINOGUE! A crazed, openly homosexual fan with a glow stick tries to jump the railing, but he is quickly scruffed by Security and taken away. Buffer hands Kylie the microphone as the music for the National Anthem starts up. Australians all let us rejoice; For we are young and free. With golden soil and wealth for toil; Our home is girt by sea. Our land abounds in natures gifts; Of beauty, rich and rare. In history’s page, let every stage; Advance Australia Fair! In joyful straits then let us sing: Advance AUSTRALIA FAAAA-AAAAAAARGH! Just as Kylie is delivering the badly out of tune last line, A masked man levels her with a steel chair! The unknown man removes his hood to reveal… HUGH JACKMAN! Hugh gets on the mic straight away and proclaims... HUGH That’s enough of that shit! Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the show that’s dryer than a dead dingo’s donga, HELDDOWN!!!! The crowd roars at the last line starts an ‘HELD DOWN’ chant straight away… *DING DING DING* “I Like” starts up, and we are treated to the opening montage and the AWESOME HeldDown: Australia Logo! BOOM~!BOOM~!BOOOOBOBOBOBOOBOBOBOBOOBOBMMOMBOMBOOM BOOOMBOOMOBOOMOBMOBOOBOOOOOMMMMMMM~!!!!~!~!~!!!!!!1!!!!! Yes, the opening pyro is HUGE and the crowd is HUGER as we pan across the massive Telstra Dome. The camera cuts to a shot of the greatest announce team in the history of sports entertainment, Triple C! MICHAEL COLE Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls, blokes and sheelas, welcome to HeldDown: Australia! We are LIVE in the SOLD OUT Telstra Dome in Melbourne, Victoria, in front of Fifty-Seven Thousand of Axel’s fellow countrymen! I’m Michael Cole and alongside me this evening are Jonathon Coachman, and the one, the only Caboose! JONATHON COACHMAN Thanks Michael, these fans are ready for a big night! And what a night it is going to be! What a night for the nation’s new hero, Axel, as he takes on Zack in a special Dream Tag Team Partner Main Event! But who will Axel’s partner be? We’ve had clues, could it be the debut of the Sandman to the OAOAST, or someone else? Either way, Zack and Calvin had both better watch out! CABOOSE Oh would you stop! Contrary to popular belief here in this asshole of a country, Axel doesn’t have a chance of winning against Zack and Cal tonight! Look at what happened last week, they beat him down, and left him a mess in the middle of the ring. I’m excited about tonight as well guys; the World Title is on the line! COACH Oh come on Caboose! You don’t even know who Axel’s partner is yet! And as you mentioned, as our other big Main Event, Crystal will defend the OAOAST World Championship against Sly Sommers! The Sly One has another chance at the Big Gold! COLE That’s right guys. You know in other action, the 24/7 Championship will be decided tonight, when Gunner Sharps defends against both Hoff and Chris Stevens in a Triple Threat Match! We have two opening round matches in the Road to the Elimination Chamber! Drek Stone goes one on one with Leon Rodez in a very special AngleSlam rematch, and The Blurricane defends his X Division Championship against Panther in a match that could steal the show! COACH Don’t forget the Special 20 Man Wild Card Tag Team Match! And the Open Invitational Battle Royal! This is a Pay Per View quality show, and the Aussie fans can’t wait for it to start! This is one of the biggest events to hit Melbourne, and all the stars have come out to see it. Josh Matthews is ringside greeting some of the great Aussie celebrities that have come to see OAOAST HeldDown: Australia! We cut down to Josh Matthews at ringside, next to Australian Swimming Superstar Ian Thorpe, and American Swimming sensation Michael Phelps. J.MATH Guys I’m down here with two of the best swimmers in the world, Australia’s own Ian Thorpe (pop from the crowd) and American great Michael Phelps (mild boos). Ian, how does this compare to the Olympics? IAN THOPRE Oh you know this is an awesome event, so many big stars are here, and this is such a great night. I won 3 Gold Medals in Athens, but nothing can compare to this. PHELPS I won five. THORPE (trying to smile) But you didn’t break the record you glory-hogging asshole. PHELPS I still won more than you. THORPE (getting pissed off) At least I don’t look like Dumbo when I take my cap off, ok? PHELPS Only because you’re gay. Suddenly, Thorpe floors Phelps with a size 17 boot to the face! Both men are soon restrained by security, and taken away. J MATH Man, the Australia-America rivalry is alive and well tonight guys! Back to you! COLE The fireworks have already started here at HeldDown: Australia! Drek Stone and Leon Rodez go one on one in a rematch from AngleSlam, that is NEXT! *COMMERCIAL BREAK* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 COLE Yes, coming up next the Round Robin Tournament continues with a match-up between two men who are certainly no strangers to one another. Drek Stone and Leon Rodez go one on one once more, in a rematch from AngleSlam...and there's a lot of unfinished business left over from London 'Boose. CABOOSE I don't see why. Drek beat Leon, end of story. This is just a replay for those who missed AngleSlam as far as I'm concerned. COLE Well, Drek cheated to win... CABOOSE Phfooey. Drek won by whatever means he needed to. That's all that mattered. COACH He has a point. CABOOSE Shut up, you. COLE ...in any event, this is a part of the Round Robin Tournament of course. A pinfall victory gives you 2 points, submissions get you 3, a countout or DQ victory wins you a point...draws and losses get you 0 points, so winning is the name of the game in this one. CABOOSE By whatever means you need to. COLE So, you expect Drek to cheat again then. CABOOSE As long as he wins, it doesn't matter. COACH And keep in mind - this will all determine who will be getting a World Heavyweight Title shot at our Pay-Per-View in November. COLE The stakes are certainly high for these six men. And now, it's time to finally kick things off. Let's get down to the ring. *DING DING* BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, this following contest is part of the OAOAST ROUND-ROBIN TOURNAMENT... and it is scheduled for one fall! .:CUE "Woke Up This Morning" by A3:. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" The crowd instantly begin jeering as Drek Stone bursts through the curtains, grinning from ear to ear as he strides down the aisle with his hands held aloft in the air. The fans hurl abuse at him on the way down, but Drek simply turns his nose up at each and every person he passes...still grinning away as he reaches the ring and stops, awaiting his introduction. BUFFER Introducing first at this time. From Naples, Italy...but hailing from Brooklyn, New York. He weighs two hundred and thirty five pounds. The former OAOAST Italian Champion. He is "RECKLESS"... DRRREEEEEEEEEEEEK STOOOOOOONNEEEEEEEE!!! The crowd breaks into jeers, as Drek enters the ring and pounds his chest... *BOOM!* ...as fireworks burts from each cornerpost. Another smile adorns Drek's face, as he turns to the entrance way and beckons on his opponent. .:CUE: "You Sexy Thing" by Hot Chocolate:. And he needn't wait long, as the music hits and Leon Rodez emerges through the curtains. No robe, no smile, Rodez has an angry look on his face as he stops on the stage and points an accusing finger towards Drek. "I believe in miracles... Where ya from? You sexy thing (You sexy thing, you) I believe in miracles... Since ya came alooooong You sexy thing (WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!)" BUFFER "And his opponent...fro...WOAH!" Suddenly, Buffer is forced to run for the hills as Rodez breaks into a sprint...sliding into the ring at full pelt and taking an unprepared Drek down with a spear! *DING DING DING!* The bell rings, as Rodez mounts Drek and starts to offload with a flurry of right hands! Desperately Drek covers up, but Rodez begins to alternate between left hands and rights as he tries to find the gaps in the guard. Referee Charles Robinson tries to interject himself in, to pull Rodez away. But Rodez pushes him off to continue the battering. COLE What an offensive start from Leon Rodez! CABOOSE I agree...this is offensive! I'm offended, that's for sure! Finally Rodez gives Drek a reprieve and gets back to his feet. Dazed and confused, Drek staggers to his feet. But just as he does, Rodez charges and nails a clothesline. Drek gets right back up, as Rodez hits the ropes and takes Drek down with a second clothesline. Again Drek is quickly up. But all he can do is swing wildly with punches, hitting nothing but thin air. Rodez stops and grins as he watches Drek make a fool of himself...before dropkicking Drek, hard enough to send him crashing back into a seated position in the corner. "LEON! LEON! LEON!" With the crowd solidly behind him, Rodez takes a backstep...before charging towards Drek. Drek sees it coming but can't move out of the way in time, as Rodez launches forward and drives his knee into the side of Drek's face! COACH Boy, he noggined him there...right in the noggin. Drek slumps back against the bottom turnbuckle, as Rodez grabs Stone by the leg and pulls him away from the corner. With a smile out to the crowd, Leon cups his hand to his ear, which is greeted by cheers. Mainly female cheers. Turning to the left, Leon cups his ear again to the same reaction...before backing off the ropes, and hitting a legdrop on Drek, quickly spinning around into a cover. ONE! TWO! ...two only! Rodez grabs Drek under the head and begins to pick him back up, but takes a forearm deep into the gut. Rodez doubles over, as quickly Drek reaches up and catches Rodez with an uppercut, staggering him backwards and into the ropes. But Leon uses them as a 'bounceback', doing just that and taking Drek down with a clothesline. This time Drek stays down, but only until Rodez pulls him back up. Quickly Rodez scoops Drek up and plants him with a slam, showing surprising strength in doing so. Again Drek remains down, as Rodez bounces off the ropes and leaps into the air... ...but misses a running senton, as Drek rolls out of the way. Leon hits the back of his head hard and immediately grabs at it, as Drek shakes off the cobwebs and lands a couple of stomps to the fallen opponent. COLE Drek with his first burst of offense here really, and it comes from a Rodez mistake. Which could be a costly mistake. A bad start in this Round Robin instantly puts you under big-time pressure from there on. CABOOSE Exactly. I mean, there's more to this than just 'Drek vs. Leon- The Rematch'. Grabbing Rodez by the hair, Drek hauls up 'The New Age Love Machine' and quickly peppers him with a couple of quick jabs, before throwing him face first into top turnbuckle. Rodez bounces back, grabbing his face in pain, as Drek lines up Rodez and nails a right hand. Another connects, and then a third, before Drek grabs Rodez by the arm and whips him into the ropes. He hits them, coming back into a big powerslam from Drek who quickly hooks the leg... ONE! TWO! Kickout. Drek points the finger at Robinson, before pulling Rodez back up to his knees. A quick knee connects, before Drek runs off the ropes. Coming back, he looks to boot Rodez right in the head... ...but Rodez ducks, so Drek runs on and hits the opposite ropes. This time Drek looks to hit a clothesline, but again Rodez ducks. So this time, Stone stops in his tracks and waits for Rodez to turn around before punting him HARD in the right kneecap. Letting out a wail of pain, Rodez drops to one knee. Quickly Drek capitalises and locks on a front facelock on Rodez, quickly raises a knee into the chest of Rodez. He gets back to his feet, still in the facelock. But Drek again kicks at the right knee, before falling back and spiking Rodez with a DDT. CABOOSE Drek's doing it. Drek's doing it right now! Rodez lands up in a seated position, only for Drek to pull him violently down onto his back with a choke locked on. Immediately Leon tries to struggle free, as Robinson begins a five count...getting to four, before Drek breaks and gets back to his feet. Coughing and spluttering, Rodez begins to try and get back to his feet. But as he does, Drek grabs him and manouvers him into the corner... *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" For a stinging knifedge chop. Rodez clasps at his burning chest, as Drek stops for a moment to hold his arms out for the booing crowd. While he does though, Rodez shakes off the pain and grabs Drek, whipping him around into the corner... *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" *SLAP!* "WHOOOO!" For a flurry of stinging chops. Drek quivers in the corner, his chest beat red, as Rodez turns away...AND DOES THE STRUT~! The crowd go banana, as Rodez grins from ear to ear and begins to soak up the adulation of the fans. COLE I guess Leon's got the DVD too. COACH Who hasn't. Drek grits his teeth through the stinging pain and strides out of the corner. But out of the corner of his eye, Rodez sees Drek coming and pops him with a back elbow to the jaw. Drek staggers back, before moving back forward into a second elbow. But a third is ducked by Drek, who nails his own back elbow which drops Rodez. Again Leon is left clutching his jaw, as Drek takes a moment to compose himself. Up clambers Leon, getting grabbed by Drek on the way and clubbed across the shoulder blades with a forearm. That weakens Leon enough for Drek to hook his man up for a vertical suplex. But Leon floats over the back of Drek, before grabbing The Reckless One and whipping him into the corner. Drek hits the turnbuckles HARD, stumbling out and into a sleeperhold from Leon! "YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!" COLE Sleeper! Sleeper by Rodez, and he's going for the win right here! COACH Yeah, but how many points does he get if Drek goes out? COLE Well...I'd assume it'd come under a submission, which is three points. So this is a doubly wise move from Rodez! CABOOSE Yeah, but he's got to put Drek out first. Sensing he's in trouble, Drek starts to frantically reach for the ropes and the break. But Rodez clings onto the hold, preventing Drek from reaching the ropes as he's about half an arm's length away from grabbing the top strand. So instead, Drek tries to turn into the move...and does so, turning so that Rodez now has on a modified side headlock. From there, he manages to push Rodez off and into the ropes. Hitting the ropes at high speed, Rodez comes back towards Drek, who sidesteps the on-rushing opponent. Unable to stop himself, Rodez goes flying over the top rope...but grabs it on the way over, and begins to skin the cat. As he does, Drek stumbles over and stands by Rodez, sot hat as he comes over the top rope, he lands over Drek's shoulder. With Rodez over his shoulder, Drek has a smile on his face as he charges towards the corner. Until that is Leon slips off the shoulder, landing behind Drek. The bemused former Italian Champion stops and wheels around, but gets caught with a boot to the gut and a quick DDT, planting him on his nicely preened hair! Quickly Rodez rolls over, hooking the leg and making the cover. ONE! TWO! TH... TWOOO! COLE Man, Leon nearly had him there! CABOOSE From a DDT? This isn't 1988 Mickey. With the energy flowing through his veins, Rodez pops right back up and motions for Drek to do the same. Slowly he does, turning around with little idea as to where he is. Rodez quickly grabs him around the waist, looking for a belly to belly. But quick as a flash, Drek goes to the knee with a sharp kick which forces Rodez to back off and attend to his surgically repaired leg. Meanwhile, Drek brushes past Rodez and lines up the leg for a kick... ...which Rodez hurdles... ...only to land awkwardly on the leg! "AARGH!" He lets out a wail of pain and grabs his knee again, as Drek applauds mockingly. CABOOSE Now this is brilliant strategy. Working on the surgically repaired knee...and that sets Rodez up for a submission, which'll earn Drek his first 3 points. With Rodez still attending to his leg, Drek has time to hit the ropes again, coming back this time with a chopblock which launches Rodez into the air and brings him back down in a neck-crunchingly awkward position. Drek is still grinning widely, as he moves in on Leon and grabs him by the ankle. Picking up the leg, Drek leaps into the air before DRIVING Leon's knee into the mat, with force! Leon grabs his knee in anguish, as Drek again holds his arms in the air cockily. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" CABOOSE Drek has this one in the bag, I'm certain of it. COLE Didn't you say that at this sort of time at AngleSlam too? CABOOSE Yeah. And Drek won. COLE ... COACH Touché! Desperately Rodez tries to pull himself back to his feet, but can only put weight on his left leg. Drek quickly moves in and smashes Rodez across the chest with a forearm, before dropping to all fours. Like a well-trained Olympian, Rodez shoots for the leg and succeeds in wrenching Rodez to the mat. Just as quickly though, Leon turns onto his front and rolls away...sending Drek, who had been clinging onto the foot, flying across the ring. He rolls through, getting back to his feet as Rodez tries to do the same. But Drek is in better condition, and manages to hit some Sweet Shin Music on Leon, to drop him back to the mat. Again Leon grabs at his leg, as this time Drek moves back in and begins to stomp away on the leg. "DREK'S A WAN - KER!" *CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP* "DREK'S A WAN - KER!" *CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP* Hearing the chants of the crowd, Stone sneers and gives them the 'up yours' hand gesture, before kicking Leon ruthlessly in the knee. COLE It's just like being in London again for Drek with this chant! CABOOSE Well, Australia is just a home for England's convicts anyway, so it's not that surprising. Grabbing a handful of Rodez's hair, Drek takes his time about dragging him to his feet...all the while, the chants getting louder and louder. Drek takes a moment to tell them to quieten down, before hooking Rodez up for a kneebreaker. Getting Leon up, Drek stops for a moment to taunt the crowd, keeping Rodez lifted up in the air. But he holds Leon too long and eventually Leon squirms free, sliding over the back of Drek and taking him over with a sunset flip... ONE! TWO! ...KICKOUT! Drek pushes out, rolling through and up to his feet. Quickly he charges in and stomps down on the still seated Rodez's knee, before shoving him onto his back and grabbing the leg. Before he can do anything more though, Rodez quickly scrambles away from danger. Not far enough though, as Drek moves right back in...grabbing hold of the leg and pulling Rodez back into the center of the ring before twisting around the leg... ...but Rodez counters the figure four attempt into a small package! ONE! TWO! NO! COLE Man that was close! Slightly shocked, Drek gets back up and waits for Rodez to do the same before charging in. Despite only being able to put weight on one leg Rodez manages to catch Drek coming with a clothesline! Drek pops right back up, charging in again but this time getting back body dropped! COLE And now, Rodez is fighting back! Again Drek gets up, this time getting popped in the jaw with a jab! And another jab! A third jab! A fourth jab! ...but Drek blocks the fifth, before hitting a quick dropkick to the knee! Down goes Rodez, crumpling to the mat as Drek stumbles to his feet and shakes his head with a wry smile. CABOOSE So much for the fightback Mickey boy. Can you say...deja vú? COLE Well, hopefully this time there'll be no deja vú, and Charles Robinson will be watching for Drek's underhanded tactics. "DREK'S A WAN - KER!" *CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP* "DREK'S A WAN - KER!" *CLAP CLAP CLAPCLAPCLAP* Up goes the chant again, infuriating Drek to the point of him flipping off the crowd...which only increases the volume. So Drek goes back to work on Rodez, picking him up from the mat and hitting a stiff forearm strike across the jaw of 'The New Age Love Machine'. Feeling his legs weaken underneath him, Rodez desperately lunges for Drek. But he ducks the flailing arms, hitting a knee to the gut on the way, before quickly hooking Rodez up for a suplex. As he does, Drek hooks Rodez's right leg with the head, lifting him Rodez up...before dropping him straight south, right onto the hooked knee! COLE Fisherman's kneebreaker!?! CABOOSE Beautiful move. Man, Drek just gets better and better. With his opponent curled up on the mat, grasping at his knee, Drek takes the opportunity to take a very brief breather. And the opportunity to check his hair as he appears on the Tron. Meanwhile, Rodez is clambering up to his feet. So Stone breaks away from his hair and moves in on Rodez again, pulling him up from the mat and hitting a quick snap suplex...floating over after it. But suddenly Drek stops, hesitating over whever to make a cover, and eventually deciding against it, instead grabbing Rodez by the leg. Giving the signal for the figure four, Drek spins around the leg again. This time though, Leon plants a foot into Drek's posterior and pushes him off. Drek hits the ropes, but as he comes back he grabs Rodez's foot once more, rolling through with a hold of the leg and eventually landing in position to lock on an ankle lock! COACH Woah! Drek may have it here guys! Quickly Drek clamps the hold on and screams with intensity as he wrenches away on the ankle...but sure enough, Rodez is quick to counter as he rolls through, sending Drek tumbling forward with him. COACH Well...I was wrong. Again. CABOOSE Yes, you do suck. C'Mon Drek! Drek rolls back to his feet as Rodez pulls himself back up at the same time, with Drek quickest to react by hitting a boot to the gut. Rodez doubles over, as suddenly Drek calls out that it's 'all over' and hooks Rodez up for the StoneCutter... ...but Rodez backdrops out of it! "YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!" Angrily Drek clambers back to his feet, before charging and swinging with a wild clothesline which Rodez easily ducks. Drek spins back around, only to get the slobber knocked from his mouth with a stinging right hand! Concerned with his pretty face Drek holds his jaw, as Rodez quickly grabs Drek by the arm and whips him into the ropes. Rebounding, Drek is able to duck a back elbow attempt from Rodez before coming back... *SMACK!* ...STRAIGHT INTO A SUPERKICK! COACH KAY OOOOOHHH! Drek stops from the kick...before s l o w l y falling backwards with his eyes rolled back into his head. Rodez is meanwhile attending to his right leg. But upon seeing Drek down and out, Rodez guts it out and pounces on Drek for the cover. ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! "OOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!" Despite Drek's kickout, Rodez still has the advantage and looks to build on it by mounting Drek and going back to offloading with rights and lefts. Again Drek tries in vain to cover up as the punches rain down on him, but this time Leon lets up quicker than the beginning of the match and fires up the crowd, who are right behind him. COLE The Australian crowd are right behind Leon Rodez here, mate! CABOOSE ... Drek pulls himself up on the ropes, with a small trickle of dark red blood running from his nose. But he doesn't seem concerned with that as he staggers over to Rodez...who avoids a right hand and hits an inverted atomic drop on Drek! Drek holds his...'region', as Rodez steps closer to Drek and underhooks both of The Reckless One's arms, ready for the Tiger Driver. Drek is prepared though, unhooking one arm and spinning behind Rodez who quickly turns around. He's met with a boot to the gut though, before getting picked quickly up into powerbomb position. Backing up, Drek continues in reverse until he feels the turnbuckles against his back before breaking into a run. Trouble is, there's no Leon Rodez going with him, as he grabs the top rope and escapes Drek. Quickly "Reckless" realises what's missing and turns back around, charging at Rodez who is on the middle rope. Only to run head-long into his left boot. Down goes Drek, as suddenly Rodez steps from the middle rope to the top, launching off the ropes and rotating through 360...no, 450 degrees... ...AND HITTING THE BECAUSE THE LADY LOVES! "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" COLE WOAH...he hit it! This one's over guys! The crowd erupt, as Rodez hurriedly hooks the leg and makes the cover... ONE! TWO! THREEEEE NOOOOOO!!! COLE What!?! The referee, despite slapping the mat for the third time, calls off the fall as he notices Drek's right leg draped over the top rope! Which is a surprise to Rodez, who had already gotten up to celebrate his victory. CABOOSE Well, thank god Charles Robinson was alert to Drek touching the ropes this time, eh Cole? COLE Yeah, right. Rodez, realizing that his music isn’t blasting over the loudspeakers, starts to come to the slow realization that he hasn’t won the match yet. His suspicions are confirmed by the referee and the two fingers that he’s holding up for the crowd. Not wanting to lose an advantage, Leon walks over towards Drek, who is trying to will himself off the ground. He gets on his hands and knees, but is quickly brought back down by Leon Rodez, who rolls him up in an Oklahoma Roll. The fans start screaming as Leon pins Drek’s shoulders to the mat with his legs. ONE….. TWO…. KICKOUT! COLE I thought Leon Rodez had Drek Stone that time! CABOOSE Now we have Leon Rodez trying to steal this win with an Oklahoma roll! As if Oklahoma wasn’t bad enough before! Following the Oklahoma Roll, Drek immediately rises back to his feet, clearly gasping for reassuring air after the two close near-falls. Leon, refusing to relent on the attack, limps towards Drek and gives him a kick to the midsection……but Drek catches his feet. Leon quickly lifts his injured leg over the head of Drek, trying to hit him with an enziguiri kick. But Drek ducks the enziguiri, letting Leon’s leg fall back to the ground. He quickly levels in a NASTY kick to the back of that injured leg. The force of the kick sends Leon backflipping onto the mat on his chest. COACH What a kick! I wouldn’t be surprised if he tore Leon’s muscle right there! CABOOSE You thought Owen Hart had it mastered before? Drek Stone is the MASTER of kicking people’s legs right out of their…..uh…..legs. Right after the vicious kick, Leon quickly clutches at his injured leg, giving Drek the opportunity to finally breathe and calm himself down. He slowly walks himself over to the corner post and scales up to the middle turnbuckle. Once there, he sits on the top, and waits for Rodez to make his way back up. “LET’S GO LEON!” *CLAP! CLAP! CLAP CLAP CLAP!* “LET’S GO LEON!” *CLAP! CLAP! CLAP CLAP CLAP!* Leon finally begins to stir himself off the ground and, after struggling mightily to put some weight back on his leg, is able to move back to his feet. This is Drek’s cue to stand up on the middle turnbuckle and brace himself for his attack. He jumps off…..and hits a MISSILE DROPKICK INTO THE KNEE OF LEON RODEZ. The fans gasp as Leon literally crumbles down to the mat, his knee practically collapsing along with him. With a scream of pain, Leon clutches at his leg and starts to roll around the mat. COLE This is certainly not boding well for Leon Rodez anymore. CABOOSE Of course not! Don’t you realize who he’s facing?! Drek Stone beat him once – and he’s going to beat him again! With encouraging chants, the crowd does their best to get Leon back onto his feet. Meanwhile, Drek stands at a nearby turnbuckle, looking ready to swoop in for the kill. Once Rodez, after taking a few moments to summon the strength to get up, moves back to his feet, Drek charges at him, looking ready to hit a brutal clothesline…. …..but Rodez catches him off-guard with a one-legged dropkick! COLE Leon just used his strong leg to send Drek Stone off-balance! Drek wobbles towards the turnbuckle he was just standing near. Rodez does his best to make it back to a standing position as quickly as possible. Drek tries to move out of the corner, but Rodez quickly levels him with a spinning heel kick, sending him back into the turnbuckle. COACH Leon is obviously nursing that knee, but he is much too determined here to let that stop him! The force of the kick sends Leon to one knee, but he quickly attempts to get back up to both feet. Drek, noticeably dazed from Leon’s sudden strikes, starts to stagger out of the corner once again. But Leon steps back, takes a second to calculate his position…. ……and hits Drek with an absolutely VICIOUS European uppercut, sending him into the corner with a hard bounce. Leon walks over to Drek, who is merely using the corner to prop himself up from falling to the mat. Rodez jumps up and hooks Drek, ready to bring him down with a monkey flip. But Drek, almost instinctively, clutches onto the ropes to keep Rodez from bringing him down to the mat. Leon, sensing that he isn’t going to be able to hit that monkey flip after all, uses his athleticism to jump over Drek’s body and land on the top rope. The reverberations of the move sends shooting pains down his leg, becoming a clear reminder that his knee is nowhere near 100%. COLE That move could cost Leon Rodez. CABOOSE Could?! I think it did. Look at Drek! Sure enough, Drek seems to have anticipated that Leon was going to jump onto the top rope. With Leon’s back now facing Stone, Drek takes this opportunity to clasp Leon’s arms behind him in a full-nelson position. CABOOSE This is it! COLE He couldn’t possibly be going for this! CABOOSE Oh, I’m sure he is. Folks, get ready to watch some destruction here. Top-Rope Recker! Drek FORCEFULLY pulls Leon off of the top turnbuckle… …..but Leon manages to stay on by wrapping his legs around the corner post! The fans gasp a sigh of relief, but that relief is short-lived as Drek attempts the move once again. Stone POWERFULLY tries to pull Leon away from the corner with a Dragon Suplex….. ….but Leon holds on yet again! The fans start screaming Leon’s name as Drek curses to himself in a fit of frustration. Realizing that this isn’t going to work either, he settles for simply dragging Leon away from the turnbuckle with his arms locked behind his head. COLE Look at the rugged determination that Leon Rodez is showing here! CABOOSE Oh, he’s determined all right……determined to only prolong the inevitable. He doesn’t want a Recker from the top rope? Fine. Drek will just give him a regular one instead! Drek successfully pulls Leon off of the corner post, planting his feet onto the mat. Drek yanks Leon near the middle of the ring, with Rodez’s arms still locked behind him in the Full-Nelson position. Trying to muster up as much strength as he can, Drek takes a moment before FINALLY LIFTING LEON UP FOR THE RECKER….. …..but, in the process, Leon wraps his legs around the waist of Drek Stone. Drek breaks the hold immediately, choosing instead to unwrap Leon’s legs from around his body. This gives Rodez the opportunity to fall forward and wrap Drek Stone in a victory roll! The referee drops down to make the count! ONE….. TWO…. THREE!!!!! *DING! DING! DING!* The fans explode with a roar as “You Sexy Thing” begins to blast from the loudspeakers. Drek quickly sits up on the mat with an absolute look of shock, as Leon rolls out of the ring to celebrate his victory on-the-go. CABOOSE Oh no! This is impossible! COACH That’s 2 points! Leon Rodez suddenly has two points in this Round Robin tournament – and Drek Stone is in last place with zero! CABOOSE I can’t believe this! He was cheating! He was pulling on Drek’s tights! He was hanging onto the ropes! How did the referee not see any of that?! COLE Probably because it didn’t happen. Drek shoots an unbelieving glare at Leon Rodez, who is proudly celebrating outside of the ring. He starts to limp back up the ramp with a wide smile on his face, as Drek gloomily wipes the sweat off his forehead. At the top of the rope, Leon pounds his fist for the crowd one more time, before exiting through the curtains. COLE Well, folks, this Round-Robin tournament has certainly started off with a bang. CABOOSE Is that what they call this?! This tournament could be doomed – DOOMED – if such injustices continue to happen. COACH Could we only be a few months away from World Heavyweight Champion Leon Rodez?! Or World Heavyweight Champion Panther? This tournament could determine all of that! CABOOSE I feel bad for Australia. Imagine finally getting the OAOAST to come to this desolate country…..and now you have to watch Leon Rodez celebrating. COLE These fans certainly look happy enough. Folks, we’ll be right back. **************************** Back Caught you lookin' for the same thing It's a new thing - check out this I bring Uh Oh the roll below the level 'Cause I'm livin' low next to the bass, C'mon Turn up the radio They claim that I'm a criminal By now I wonder how Some people never know The enemy could be their friend, guardian I'm not a hooligan I rock the party and Clear all the madness, I'm not a racist Preach to teach to all 'Cause some they never had this Number one, not born to run About the gun...

Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 COLE Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to HeldDown Australia, and what a match we've got in store for you next: a Triple Threat match for the 24/7 Title between Chris Stevens, Hoff, and the champion, Gunner Sharps! COACH Absolutely, this match is gonna be off the hook! I mean, three of the top up-and-comers in the company, going at it in a triple threat match...I can't wait! CABOOSE I can't wait, either, because finally, Hoff will get his chance to bring his belt back to the Thrillogy! Oh, I can't wait. COLE This will be Hoff's first shot at the title since losing it at AngleSlam, and of course all three of these men have held the title at some point. They've all had some memorable wars in the past, but tonight could be the biggest of them all! *ding ding ding ding ding* Michael Buffer climbs into the ring. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for our triple-threat match for the Twenty-Four-Sevennnn Championship! *YEAH!!!!!* Introducing first... Buffer is cut off by the sounds of Sevendust's "Black" as the fans' cheers turn instantly to boos. BUFFER Hailing from Minneapolis, Minnesota, weighing in at 275 pounds, one of tonight's challengers...HOFF!! The fans keep on booin' as Hoff steps out onto the ramp, looking out across the crowd with a scowl. CABOOSE Oh, good, his leg is better. COLE Yeesh. Hoff heads down the ramp, jawing angrily with the fans as "Black" dies down, being replaced by "Bound for the Floor" as the Aussie fans give a decent cheer. BUFFER And from Rochester, Minnesota, also challenging for the 24/7 title, weighing in at 221 pounds...CHRIS STEVENS!! The fans cheer Stevens on as he walks down the ramp, eyeing Hoff as the big man slides into the ring. Stevens keeps his face a mask as he slides into the ring as well. Stevens and Hoff head to opposite corners, staring each other down. COLE So much animosity between those two men. COACH Well, if you ask me, the crowd wasn't feeling Chris Stevens tonight! COLE Stevens has been more aggressive as of late, he's definitely shown more of a mean streak... CABOOSE Bah. He's a goody-two shoes just like you, Cole. The cheers taper off as "Bound" fades...and is replaced by "Dope" to a THUNDEROUS ovation!! COLE Well they're feeling this man!! BUFFER And their opponent! From the Motor City of Detroit, Michigan, weighing in at 375 pounds, he is the current, reigning, and defending OAOAST 24/7 Champion....ladies and gentlemen, GUNNER SHARRRRRPS!!!!!! The fans SCREAM as Gunner charges onto the stage, pumping his fist and working the crowd into a frenzy! In the ring, Hoff and Stevens coolly look on as Gunner slaps hands with the fans in the aisleway, pausing halfway down to unstrap his title belt and hoist it overhead! The fans go BANANA for Gunner, as the big man slides into the ring, glancing quickly at both Stevens and Hoff before climbing the turnbuckle and waving the crowd to their feet! But the crowd is already up and LOVING it!! COLE Gunner has these fans fired up!! Gunner hops off the buckle, smiling, and hands his belt to the ref. The official shows it to Hoff, then Stevens, then holds it into the air before handing it to the timekeeper and calling for the bell. COLE And we are underway in this big 24/7 Title match! The three men circle, eyeing each other. COACH Well, you've got to think that Hoff is a marked man, seeing what he's done to both these guys, but there's no love lost between Chris Stevens and Gunner...hey, wait a minute! The fans jeer as Hoff quickly hops over the top rope and onto the apron! Gunner and Stevens both look at Hoff quizzically...and Hoff hops onto the arena floor! COLE Wait, what is Hoff doing? CABOOSE He's just taking a breather! COLE From WHAT?! CABOOSE Well, I don't know...maybe he had some intense pre-game warmups! COLE Oh, please! Hoff knows there's no countouts in the Triple Threat match, and he's taking advantage of it! This is deplorable! Hoff looks up at his opponents, shaking his head. Gunner approaches the ropes near where Hoff exited, waving the Thrillogy member back in, but Hoff brushes him off. Gunner jaw jacks with Hoff...but Stevens drills him from behind with a forearm to the back! COACH Well I guess Chris Stevens isn't gonna let this faze him! COLE We said that Stevens has become more aggressive, and he's showing it! Gunner falls into the ropes, his knees buckling slightly. Stevens grabs him and turns him around, chopping him across the chest! Gunner leans on the ropes as Stevens again lays into Gunner with a knife-edge chop, and Gunner reels! Stevens fires Gunner off the ropes, but Gunner reverses! Stevens runs off the far side, comes back, and Gunner press slams him up, but Stevens slips out the back side and lands behind Gunner! Stevens charges Gunner into the ropes and tries for a rollup, but Gunner hangs on to the top strand and Stevens rolls through! Gunner turns and charges with a clothesline, but Stevens ducks! Gunner spins back to face Stevens, and Stevens catches him with a European uppercut! Stevens blasts Gunner again, sending the big man reeling, and Stevens sends him all the way down with a high flipping dropkick! COLE Stevens able to get Gunner off his feet! But would somebody get Hoff in the damn ring? Hoff looks on, pacing the floor as Gunner lands in a seated position from the dropkick. Stevens circles behind Gunner and snaps a soccer kick to the big man's broad back, sending Gunner onto his back. Stevens quickly sizes Gunner up, and drops a snap legdrop across Gunner's throat! Stevens makes a quick cover, but Gunner powers out at two. Stevens gets to his feet, pulling Gunner up and cinching in a standing side headlock. Gunner tries to fight out of it, but Stevens wrenches the hold in tight. Gunner throws an elbow to the midsection of Stevens, but Stevens keeps the hold applied. Finally, Gunner grabs Stevens around the waist, lifts him up, and drives him down with a back suplex, causing Stevens to break the hold! COACH That's the #1 most effective counter to that hold, homeboys. CABOOSE What did you just call us? COACH I called you home-- COLE Coach. Coach looks confused as Gunner beats Stevens to his feet. Gunner grabs a rising Stevens by the hair and leads him to the corner, rearing back and smashing his head into the buckle. Stevens snaps back, holding his face, and Gunner throws him back-first into the corner. Gunner backs out and charges in with a big shoulderblock that crumples Stevens. Stevens slides down to a seated position, and Gunner begins stomping at him in the corner...and Hoff slides into the ring behind him! COLE Hey, wait a minute! Gunner, look out! Hoff sneaks into the ring and charges toward Gunner...but Gunner spins and levels Hoff with a boot to the face!! The fans go NUT as Hoff leands, sits up, then falls with a comically dizzy look on his face. COACH WHOA! Dayum! COLE Gunner must have heard Hoff coming! CABOOSE Dammit, this isn't good! Gunner leans down and yells at Hoff, kicking at Hoff's mdsection! Hoff rolls away, and Gunner stomps after him...but falls suddenly as Stevens hits him from behind with a chop block! The fans boo as Stevens hops to his feet, while Gunner clutches at his left knee. Stevens grabs Gunner's left leg and holds it prone, stomping at the knee joint and causing the champ to scream in pain. Meanwhile, Hoff gets to his feet, and surveys the scene, not making a move. COLE What's Hoff to do here? Let oen foe weaken down the other? COACH I dunno. Can these two coexist? Stevens levels another kick at Gunner's knee, then lets the leg fall as he locks eyes with Hoff. Hoff paces the ring, looking at Stevens...then heads to the near corner. Stevens gazes hard at Hoff....then turns his attention baco to Gunner. COLE Wow! CABOOSE This is smart by Hoff. Stevens turns back to Gunner's leg, picking it up and wrenching it around into a leg grapevine. Stevens falls back, torquing the knee, as Hoff paces around Gunner. Gunner shouts out in pain, but Hoff quickly silences him with a boot to the face. COLE This is surreal. I cannot believe that Hoff and Chris Stevens are coexisting. Stevens releases the leg and gets to his feet. He picks Gunner up by the hair, and he and Hoff whip the big man into the ropes. Gunner comes charging off, and the two contenders catch him with a double drop toe hold! Gunner hits the mat, and Hoff and Stevens quickly hop to their feet. CABOOSE TEAMWORK?! COLE This is... Gunner gets to his hands and knees, but Hoff quickly levels a stomp to the back that puts him flat on his stomach. Stevens walks to Gunner's legs and grabs them, settling into a Boston Crab. The ref bends down to check on Gunner, but Hoff shoves him away. Stevens looks back, and Hoff drops a leg across the back of Gunner's neck! COACH Nice move! COLE Absolutely, but...from these two... Stevens lets the legs of Gunner fall, and Hoff rolls off of Gunner and onto his feet. The fans boo a little as Stevens calls something out to Hoff, and the big man nods. Stevens grabs Gunner again, pulling him up and whipping him into the ropes. Gunner comes back, and Stevens leapfrogs him, allowing Hoff to catch the champ with a front spinebuster!! Hoff pops back up after the big move, and Stevens capitalizes with a standing moosault onto Gunner! The referee drops to his knees to make the count, but Stevens gets back to his feet, smiling! Hoff smiles as well! COLE What the hell is going on here?!? COACH Have...have they done this before? COLE We saw Hoff and Stevens talking before the match...do you think this was planned? Stevens looks at Hoff, and points to the sky, and Hoff grins a toothy grin and nods. Stevens hops onto the arpon, and climbs up a corner as Hoff pulls Gunner back to his feet! Hoff heads over to the corner, and pulls Gunner into a standing headscissors. Hoff reaches down and pulls Gunner up onto his shoulders... COLE What power! ...and Stevens jumps off, hooking Gunner for a DDT! Hoff turns, swinging ALL THREE men around, before falling backwards, as Stevens drops Gunner down with a SUPER tornado DDT!! "HO-LY SHIT, HO-LY SHIT, HO-LY SHIT" COLE That was INSANE!! COACH But...a move like that...guys, they have to have teamed together!! I mean, Hoff just knew what Stevens wanted to do there! But... CABOOSE But I thought you researched these guys' history, ace. COACH I did! And....they NEVER teamed together! As best I can tell, they were always rivals! The fans are still in awe as Stevens spins up to one knee, looking very pleased with himself. Hoff gets to his feet, slowly, as the 24/7 Champion lies nearly still on the mat, clutching his head. Stevens gets to his feet, and he and Hoff slap hands, looking down at the carnage they've caused. Suddenly, the two men snap their heads back, looking eye-to-eye at each other. They turn their bodies, squaring up against each other, and locking their gazes. They take another step towards each other, jawing at each other... COLE Looks like the marriage has ended! ...before simultaneously firing right hands! Both men stagger back, then charge each other, falling in a wild brawl to a HUGE pop! Both men roll across the mat, one on top, then the other, brawling wildly! Stevens gets to his feet, firing right hands down onto the back of Hoff's head, but Hoff tackles him back to the mat and begins punching down at Stevens!! Both men get to their feet, still entangled! Hoff and Stevens brawl into the corner, where Hoff throws Stevens into the buckle. Hoff throws a clothesline, but Stevens ducks and spins away, trapping Hoff in the corner! Stevens CHOPS Hoff hard, and Hoff reels before spinning Stevens back around! The two men brawl again, coming out of the corner.... and get SPEARED out of their boots by Gunner!! COACH Y'ALL MOTHERF*****S ACT LIKE YOU FORGOT ABOUT DRE!!! CABOOSE What is with him and the rap references tonight? COLE I don't know, and frankly I'm still not sure what's going on here, but Gunner just took both men down with that HUGE Sharp End! Two for the price of one!! Gunner lets out a primal roar as the fans go wild! Stevens gets to his feet, slowly, and Gunner quickly nails him with a HUGE big boot that sends him to the outside! Gunner turns to Hoff, still on his hands and knees, and grabs him by the hair, yanking him into a standing headscissors!! COLE Oh yeah!! CABOOSE Oh no! Hoff, buddy, I don't know what's the deal with you and Stevens, but please, fight out of this! Hoff, though, can barely fight as Gunner lifts him up onto his shoulders with ease!! Gunner grabs Hoff under his arms, lifts him up, and charges forward, dropping Hoff with ALL GUNS BLAZING!!!! COACH YEAH!! COLE This is it! COVER!! ONE!!! TWO!!! THREE!!!! *ding ding ding* BUFFER The winner of this bout, and still 24/7 Champion....GUNNER SHARRRRRRPS!!!!!! Gunner climbs off of Hoff, raising his fists into the air as the referee hands him his belt! Gunner lets the ref raise his arm, as the fans cheer! COLE Wow! Just like that, Gunner ends it! COACH Well we expected a long, drawn-out affair, but nothing in this match was what we expected! CABOOSE Yeah, and-- oh, bollocks. COLE Gunner's got a mic!! Gunner grabs the microphone from ringside, and the fans quiet down. GUNNER Hoff....Chris....I HAVE HAD ENOUGH!! The fans go BANANA!! GUNNER You two keep messing with me...each and every week...and tonight, I get double teamed. Is that it? Did you set me up? WELL I DIDN'T GO DOWN!!! The fans cheer each word Gunner says as the big man continues to speak over the rampant crowd. GUNNER I don't give a shit if you're friends...or enemies...or whatever the *BLEEP*. All I care about is this. Gunner raises the 24/7 Title to a huge cheer! GUNNER So as of tonight, I'm through with you. Starting tonight, I am going to forget about Hoff, forget about the Thrillogy, forget about Chris Stevens, and Northern Pro Wrestling, and all the damn bullshit I've had to deal with!! From now on, I'm going to give everything I have to this title!! And I am gonna be the best damn 24/7 champion in history!! So if anyone wants a piece of me next week...BRING IT ON!!!!!!!!!! Gunner throws down the microphone, and "Dope" plays as he exits the ring. Gunner walks backwards down the aisle, acknowledging the ecstatic masses, hoisting his belt overhead once more before disappearing behind the curtain. COLE Gunner's making a statement! And what a victory here tonight! CABOOSE Yeah, but Cole, this thing with Hoff and Stevens...we need some answers!! COLE Absolutely! Hopefully we'll get some soon, but we've got a lot more ahead yet tonight! Stay tuned!! THE BODY SHOP w/JESSE "THE BODY" VENTURA Welcome to the jungle we've got fun and games We got everything you want honey, we know the names We are the people that can find whatever you may need If you got the money honey we got your disease Decked out in a leather jacket and jeans is none other than Jesse Ventura, standing by on the rampway. JESSE Hello, Melbourne! Welcome to a special edition of The Body Shop from the land down under. Where koala's are elected to public office. I'm your host Jesse "The Body". Tonight in the shop, a special interview with the newest tag team in the OAOAST... even though they lost last week. Teams from all over the globe have been contacting the OAOAST in hopes of becoming apart of the fastest growing tag team division in professional wrestling today. And you can thank Black T for taking tag team wrestling to the next level. Without them, half the guys in the back wouldn't be here. And the funny thing is, you people have no idea how true that is. Last week, on HeldDown, two men dressed up as Trekkies -- Trekkies! -- were defeated by another tag team looking to take it to the next level, the Love Doctors. But Captain Kirk & Mr. Spock weren't just any two guys, ladies and gents. It takes a certain kind of guy to dress like that. A hardcore fan. Without any further ado, I present to you Marvin & Melvin Nerdly...the Fan Boys! "Funkytown" blasts over the loudspeakers. Out come two men, this time dressed like animated characters Homer Simpson & Peter Griffin. "Homer" is wearing a bald cap with two strands of hair combed over, complete with pillow stuffed underneath his white shirt for that big belly. "Peter" wears black steel-rimmed glasses, dragging a "Brian" (the dog, people) stuffed animal by its ears. Won't you take me to Funkytown Won't you take me to Funkytown Won't you take me to Funkytown Won't you take me to Funkytown The man dressed as Griffin gives his best Peter laugh. A laugh only Fran Drescher could love...and two cats getting it on. MARVIN (high-pitch voice; the one dressed as Peter) Jesse! Me & I brother would like to tell you what an honor it is to be standing near you. Back when you were working for WCW, we tried to meet you but apparently you didn't like those letters we sent telling you about our fantasy to tie you up to a bed while me & Mel played with ourselves as your wife pleaded with us to let you go. Instead of an autograph, our mommy and daddy got a letter threatening legal action if we didn't stop writing you. JESSE Wait a minute. You were the ones who sent those letters? Marvin & Melvin smile at Jesse, who looks like he's about to vomit. MELVIN (squeaky voice; dressed as Homer) Um-hmm. Me & Marv. MARVIN It was co-written by us. I'm the one who wanted to put a pic of Lynda Carter as Wonder Woman over your head; he wanted to finger you while he stared at a pic of Helen Slater dressed as Supergirl taped to your stomach. JESSE You guys are freaks. MELVIN & MARVIN No. We're...DUN-DO-DA-DUNNN... FAN BOYS! JESSE When I was your age I was at war. Heck, guys like me fought for the rights of people like you?! (Scoffs) I'm not one to freak out easily, but you guys freak me out. MARVIN Well, Body, we're just like every other tag team in the OAOAST. MARVIN & MELVIN We're obsessed...with the gold! The two brothers jump around like a couple of high school cheerleaders. JESSE But you guys lost your debut match. And you expect a title shot? MELVIN D'Oh! MARVIN R-O-T-F-L-M-A-O. A-F-A-I-K, our current tag team champions, the fan-tastic Global Party XChange, are fighting champions de mundo. I'm sure they'd allow us a crack at them. It doesn't matter if we have to go through -- even though we'd prefer to go in -- the Global Party XChange, out-wrestle Jim Cornette's New New Midnight Express, go to hell and back with Hell's Hitmen, or face that loveable fatty-fat-fatty Jivin' J.R.'s Black T, to win the belts. Those beautiful gold belts would look sweet next to our life-size Captain Kirk cut-out. MELVIN Or our Captain Planet... MARVIN (singing) He's our hero. MELVIN (CONT'D) ...tape collection. Or the bedsheet we took from Pamela Anderson's hotel room. Well, we mostly have Kid Rock's semen but we highly suspect there's some of Pam's there as well. Me & my brother don't know much about the female body... JESSE I believe you. MELVIN (CONT'D) ...so we can't say for sure. JESSE You know, the more I look at you two, the more I wanna know what you guys look like without the dorky costumes. MELVIN (giggling) Ooh, Mr. Jesse! Do go on. Ventura realizes how bad that came off and takes a few steps back. MARVIN We know how to par-tay! But you'd expect that from two crazy bitches who live in Funkytown. We're proud and glad to be... MELVIN & MARVIN Fan Boys! "Funkytown" cues up and the Fan Boys begin dancing around Jesse. JESSE You guys wouldn't happen to be San Francisco 49ers fans, would you? MELVIN Big, big fans. MARVIN I'd like to see hello to ALL our brothers & sisters watching in Funkytown! Hi y'all. JESSE And I thought fan boys just sat around their computers looking at Internet porn all day. They must be inbred. The Fan Boys want the gold, and I wanna get outta here. For The Body Shop -- which may be the final installment thanks to these two doofuses -- I'm Jesse "The Body" Ventura. Wishing you a sad and horrible life. Marvin & Melvin try to get Jesse to dance with them but Ventura pushes them away, saying "Go find Jivin' J.R." *COMMERCIAL BREAK* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 (We open on a scene of Father’s office at Williams & Horn. JAE and Cain are sitting in front of the desk while Father sits behind it.) FATHER How could you lose that handicap match!? Are you two good for anything? Rick never would have found out who I was if Cain hadn’t let him in here and I never would have had to wrestle him if you two hadn’t lost! J. ARTHUR I’m sorry. It won’t happen again. FATHER What about you Cain? Are you sorry? CAIN Yes I am. FATHER The two of you will have one last chance to prove yourselves. It seems that Parka and Jude want a match with the two of you at the PPV and I suggest that you accept it! J. ARTHUR We won’t let you down. FATHER I hope not! I may not like having to face Rick, but I know that I can handle it. The more I think about it the more I look forward to ripping him limb from limb. J. ARTHUR Are you going to go to the show this week and send him a message? FATHER No I won’t. In fact I’m staying here until the PPV because I know he will try and fight me in his state of mind. If he wants to fight me he’ll have to come here. You two can go to the show and if you feel like it send him a message, but don’t hurt him too much. J. ARTHUR I have to send him my own message. Last week he used my own chain against me! A man who claims to be a hero cheated to win and in my book that makes him a hypocrite. I hate hypocrites. I may be a bastard, but atleast I admit it. FATHER That’s fine, but do not injure him. Just remind him that we are in control no matter what he thinks. (Suddenly an office worker walks in and whispers something to Father.) FATHER Well I have to take a call from Mr. Williams & Mr. Horn. You two may go now. J. ARTHUR The Senior Partners are calling? It must be something important. FATHER They’ve been calling a lot as of late since the two of you have been embarrassing the company with your losing. *JAE and Cain look uneasy* J. ARTHUR Then we will just have to impress them at the PPV. (We fade out as JAE and Cain get up and leave and Father picks up the phone.) BUFFER The following round robin tournament match of the is scheduled for one fall AND is for the OAOAST X-Division Championship. "State Prop (You Know Us)" starts up over the PA system to a LOUD pop from the crowd. The arena slowly fades to black, and after approximately five seconds… BOOOOOOOOOOOM! The arena is rocked by a HUUUUUUUGE pyro blast. Flashing red and white spotlights swarm the arena, roaming the crowd momentarily before converging on the entrance, where Tina appears through a thick cloud of smoke, with Panther following closely behind; Panther's wearing a solid black cap and a "Panther's Way" t-shirt over his trademark basketball jersey. At the edge of the stage, Tina gets down onto one knee in front of Panther, and both scour the arena momentarily as they await the cue in the music. Then, as the horns begin to blare over the PA system, Panther slowly raises his hands into the air, holds the pose as bright white spotlights illuminate the set behind him, then snaps them down by his side as the spotlights disburse about the arena. Panther then steps over Tina and starts down the ramp with her following closely behind. BUFFER Introducing first: THE CHALLENGER! Being accompanied to the ring by Tina, he hails from Philadelphia, PA and weighs in tonight at 194 pounds, please welcome The Champion of Champions…PAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNTHEEEERRRRRRR!! The crowd pops at the mention of his name. As Panther nears the bottom of the ramp, Tina sprints past him and slides into the ring. She turns back to face him just as he makes a vertical leap onto the apron, and she holds the ropes for him, allowing him to step through walk out to the center of the ring. Once there, Panther brushes both Buffer and referee Charles Robinson off, and shoves Tina back down to a knee in front facing the camera. Shooting an intense glare into the crowd, Panther takes stance behind her, and as the horns begin to blare once more, four bright spotlights begin to roam the darkened crowd to the beat of the music…getting brighter…and bright…and brighter before converging on the center of the ring, where both Panther and Tina snap their right fists into the air and pyro explodes from all four ring posts. The flashing red and white spotlights return as Panther climbs the ropes and begins to play to the crowd. COLE Well fans, what a match this should be here tonight in Australia. Panther going one-on-one with the Blurricane with the X Title on the line. We haven't seen much of Panther since his Angleslam win over Chris Bryte. He's since been competing in Japan, but he's back here in the OAOAST for tournament action-his first title opportunity since March. Will it be a successful one? Panther takes off both his hat and t-shirt and tosses them into the crowd as the lights return to normal and his music begins to die down. He begins consulting with Tina as the sounds of the Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Higher Ground" start up over the PA system. The crowd gives another loud pop as the arena lights dim and… BOOOOOOOOM! The Blurricane flies up from the stage amidst a blast of pyro sparks. With the X Title strapped around his waist and his black cape blowing in the wind, the Blurricane strikes a pose at the entrance. Leah Blackstone and Eddy Kalm walk out from the locker room behind him, and the champ gives the crowd a hokey thumbs up before starting down the ramp towards the ring. BUFFER And his opponent, being accompanied to the ring tonight by Justice Inc. representatives Leah Blackstone and Eddy Kalm, he hails from Houston, Texas and weighs in tonight at 210 pounds, he is the reigning and defending OAOAST X-DIVISION CHAMPION…THE BLLLUUUUURRRRRRRICAAAANNNNNE~! The crowd pops once more at the mention of his name as the champ continues down the entrance ramp towards the ring. Once at ringside, the Blurricane climbs up the ring stairs and slings himself over the top rope and into the ring, where he comes face-to-face with referee Robinson. The Blurricane unstraps his title belt and hands it over to Robinson, who walks it over to Panther and Tina, allowing them to get a good look at the belt before holding it high above his head for the world to see. He then hands the belt over to Buffer and then signals for the bell. DING DING DING Tina gives Panther a kiss before stepping through the ropes and hopping to the outside. Meanwhile, on the other side of the ring, The Blurricane hands his cape over to a ringside attendant, then heads out towards the center of the ring where he and Panther square off. Tina plays cheerleader on the outside, rhythmically slapping the canvas as the crowd begins to clap and stomp in unison. COLE Here we go, fans. The bell has sounded and this thing is underway. The Blurricane vs. Panther! A lot of similarities between these men. Both are fan favorites, they're the same age, roughly the same size. Both also have a little momentum coming off their respective wins at Angleslam, so it'll be interesting to see who comes out on top here. Panther and Blurricane shake hands and begin to circle one another as dueling "PANTHER" and "BLURRICANE" chants start up in the crowd. Panther cautiously raises his right hand into the air and wiggles his fingers, inviting the champ in for a Greco-Roman knucklelock. Blurricane looks a little reluctant, but he obliges him, bringing his left hand in and locking it up with Panther's right. Blurricane slowly moves in with his right hand…but at the last second, Panther kicks the hand away and twists up on Blurricane's wrist, causing him to cringe in pain. Panther transitions into a top wristlock, driving the champ down to one knee. Leah Blackstone shouts words of encouragement from the outside as Blurricane tries to combat the hold, pressing the palm of his right hand up against Panther's jaw. He manages to force himself back to his feet, where he counters the top wristlock with an arm wringer and a wristlock of his own. Panther rolls forward onto his back and presses the flats of his boots into Blurricane's chest, shoving him to the canvas. Panther then kips up (to a pop from the crowd), and when Blurricane reaches his feet, Panther charges him with a full head of steam-BUT BLURRICANE CATCHES HIM COMING IN WITH AN ARMDRAG! Panther pops up and goes at Blurricane again, only to be taken over in a second armdrag. Panther pops back up once again and starts to go at Blurricane again, but has second thoughts when he sees him waiting on him. The two smile at one another and Panther extends his hand forward for another shake. Blurricane accepts it. COLE Nice show of sportsmanship there. Great deal of respect between these two. The two begin to circle one another again. Blurricane feigns a collar-and-elbow attempt, but when Panther moves in, Blurricane slips behind him, surprising Panther with a rear hammerlock. Panther winces as Blurricane applies pressure to the hold. Looking for a way of escape, he sends a reverse elbow Blurricane's way but is unable to connect. Panther continues looking for a counter, and manages to reverse into a hammerlock of his own, but Blurricane immediately reverses it right back. Panther quickly hooks Blurricane's head and pushes off the canvas with his feet, going up and taking him over with a snap mare. Blurricane quickly returns to his feet and goes at Panther, but gets an armdrag for his troubles. Blurricane pops right back up and goes at Panther again, only to be taken over in another armdrag. Blurricane pops up one more time and again starts to charge, but-like Panther before him-has second thoughts when he sees his opponent waiting for him. He flashes a smile Panther's way, and extends his hand to Panther for another shake. It's accepted, to a pop from the crowd. COLE Again, show of respect between these two. CABOOSE This is disgusting. COLE What do you mean it's disgusting? I think it's nice to see a little sportsmanship for a change. CABOOSE You would. No one wants to see this goody-goody crap! None of this respect stuff! People wanna see these two throw out the rulebook and get nasty! That's what I wanna see! More dueling "Blurricane" and "Panther" chants from the Australian crowd as champion and challenger square off again. Stiff collar-and-elbow tieup in the center of the ring, which Blurricane transitions into a side headlock. He uses that to take Panther over to the canvas…Panther's shoulders are down…1…2…NO! Panther raises the right shoulder before 3. Blurricane continues to cinch up on Panther's head on the canvas. Panther tries to counter into a headscissors, but Blurricane nonchalantly knocks his legs away. Again. A concerned Tina begins slapping the canvas one more time, and the crowd picks up her beat, rhythmically clapping and stomping as Panther tries to fight the hold. He manages to maneuver himself onto his knees and force Blurricane back to a vertical base. Panther then drives Blurricane into the ropes, prompting referee Robinson to come in and call for the break. REF. ROBINSON C'mon, Blurricane! Break it! 1…2…3! Blurricane releases the headlock on three, and raises his open palms into the air, signifying a clean break. Panther catches him with a forearm to the gut, though, doubling the unsuspecting champion over. He follows up with a second before shoving Blurricane into the far side. Blurricane comes off with a hard shoulder block that sends Panther straight to the mat. Blurricane then hits off the ropes again, leaping up and over Panther (who had rolled over onto his stomach) as he comes off. To the other side he goes, and Panther returns to his feet, leapfrogging the charging Blurricane as he rebounds. Blurricane goes into the ropes once more, but when he comes off, Panther takes him over with a nice hip toss. Blurricane's right back up, but gets taken over with another armdrag by Panther. Both men back up, and this time, Blurricane takes Panther over with an armdrag! Both men quickly return to their feet and simultaneously go for armdrags, but end up spinning out and crashing stomach first on the mat. Slight laughter from the crowd at that spot, and they give both men a respectful round of applause they return to their feet and shake hands again. COLE Heh. Both men had the same idea there. CABOOSE I think I'm gonna throw up, Cole? When are these two gonna stop pussyfooting around and fight like men? Blurricane confers with Eddy Kalm for a moment before heading back out to the center of the ring and squaring off with Panther once more. Another lock up. Panther with the go-behind into a full nelson. He's unable to really get his hands locked, and Blurricane's manages to slip through his grasp, fall flat to the mat and catch him with a hard kick to the top of the head. A second sends Panther staggering back into the ropes. Blurricane gets back up and moves in, looking to capitalize, only to get slung through the ropes and to the outside by Panther. He manages to land on his feet, however, and quickly pulls himself back up to the apron, where he catches Panther with a shoulder to the gut. A second one doubles Panther over, at which point, he wrenches back on the top rope and slingshots himself into the ring, taking Panther over with a sunset flip…BUT Panther manages to roll through and go back to his feet, where he grabs hold of Blurricane's legs. The crowd begins to clamor. COACH Uh oh. COLE This doesn't look good for the Champion here. Panther tries to drag Blurricane out to the center of the ring, but he wisely grabs hold of the bottom rope to prevent Panther from doing so. Panther's persistent, though, and continues pulling as the X-Division Champ holds on for dear life. Blurricane's preventive efforts only hold up for so long, as Panther eventually YANKS him off the rope, causing him to hit the back of his head hard off the canvas. Blurricane clutches at his injured head as Panther begins to apply a spinning toe-hold… CROWD WHOOOOOOOOOOOO~! …the crowd anticipates the figure four, but as Panther's reaching for the other leg- COLE OH!!!!!!! SMALL PACKAGE BY THE BLURRICANE! Blurricane takes Panther down with an inside cradle for… 1… 2… PANTHER REVERSES THE CRADLE!!!!! BLURRICANE'S SHOULDERS ARE DOWN… 1… 2… NO!!!!!! Blurricane kicks out after a count of TWOOOOOOOO~! Both men return to their feet…Panther catches Blurricane with a right! Blurricane responds, and Panther grabs a side headlock to regain control. Blurricane quickly shoves Panther into the ropes, but makes the mistake of lowering his head, and Panther grabs a standing headscissors as he comes off. The crowd comes to its feet! COACH DA BOMB! HE'S GOING FOR IT EARLY! COLE If he hits this one, it's over. Panther fires off two forearms to the small of Blurricane's back, then wraps his arms around his waist-OH! But Blurricane counters with a back body drop. Panther pulls himself back up to a kneeling position, at which point Blurricane hits the ropes and comes at him with a Shining enzuiguri-NO! Panther ducks, and Blurricane lands stomach-first onto the mat. Panther quickly wraps up Blurricane's legs in an Indian deathlock-style grapevine, then sits down on his back (with his back towards Blurricane's head). Blurricane tries crawling toward the ropes, but Panther slaps him hard across the kidneys. He does this a second time, and when Blurricane reaches back for the injured area, Panther grabs both his arms and applies an inverted surfboard. Mixed reaction from the crowd as Panther yanks on the arms, causing the champ to scream in pain. Panther then turns the hold over, putting Blurricane's shoulders onto the mat for 1…2…NO! Blurricane raises the right shoulder before the count of 3. A look of pain is etched on Blurricane's face as Panther continues to pull on his arms, placing the flat of his boot into the small of his back to increase pressure. Slowly…Blurricane's shoulder droops back down onto the match, and referee Robinson is right there to count the 1…2…3-NO! Blurricane raises the shoulder again JUST before the count of three. Panther then turns the hold back over, putting Blurricane back onto his stomach. He releases the arms, but keeps the legs grapevined. He then maneuvers himself around and places the points of his knees into the small of Blurricane's back. Then, Panther hooks his chin with his left hand and rolls onto his back with a bow-and-arrow submission applied. The crowd pops in the background, and referee Robinson's right there to see if Blurricane will submit. COACH Ouch! Panther's just stretching Blurricane here. COLE You can see the pain on the face of The Blurricane as Panther cinches up on this bow-and-arrow. Referee Charles Robinson asking him if he'll give, and remember: the title's on the line here! We could have a new Champion here. Leah and Eddie incite a "BLURR-I-CANE" chant on the floor as fans try and will him out of the hold. Eventually, Blurricane manages to shift his body weight and land on top of Panther! Shoulders are down… 1… 2… NO! Kickout by Panther! Blurricane right back to his feet and tries for a quick elbow drop that misses! Panther's back up and tries for one of his own, but he misses as well. He returns to his feet favoring his elbow, and Blurricane grabs him and winds up on an arm wringer! CRACK CROWD WHOOOOOO~! HARD chop to the chest by The Blurricane! CRACK CROWD WHOOOOOOOOO~! Panther responds with a HARD slap to the chest of The Blurricane! CRACK CROWD WHOOOOOOOO~! Panther follows up with another that causes Blurricane to release his arm! CRACK CROWD WHOOOOOO~! Blurricane comes right back with another knife edge, and Panther responds with one of his own! Blurricane again! Panther! Blurricane! Panther! Blurricane! COLE We've got a chop fest on our hands, folks! CABOOSE Yeah! Now it's getting good! The crowd's pops huge as the two fan favorites rip into each other with chop after chop after BAH GAWD chop! Panther ends the exchange with a hard forearm that staggers Blurricane. Panther follows up with another, then tries an Irish whip. Reversal by Blurricane sends Panther into the ropes. Panther rebounds and ducks a clothesline coming off. Off the other side comes Panther, and Blurricane misses with a reverse elbow attempt. Panther comes off once more, but this time Blurricane scores with a dropsault that drives the crowd into a frenzy! Quick cover by Blurricane… 1… 2… NO! Panther easily kicks out. Blurricane quickly grabs an armbar and uses it to bring Panther back to his feet. Once Panther's at a vertical base, Blurricane winds up on an arm wringer, yanking down on the arm twice, causing Panther to cringe. He then goes for another Irish whip but holds on, short-arming Panther into a front waistlock, which he uses to take him over with a Northern Lights Suplex for… 1… 2… NO! Panther raises the shoulder at two. Blurricane goes right back to that armbar, using it to bring Panther right back to his feet. This time, Panther grabs a handful of hair and uses that to send Blurricane to the buckle, at which point, he begins driving shoulder after shoulder into the gut of the champ, causing the break. Uppercut right to the jaw stuns Blurricane, and Panther grabs him and whips him into the opposite buckle with such force that the ring nearly moves. Panther takes a moment to shake his arm loose, then charges his opponent with a full head of steam, only to catch a boot to the face for his troubles. With Panther dazed from the boot, Blurricane climbs to the middle rope and pulls him into a front facelock. He turns to the crowd and gives a hokey thumbs up (drawing a pop) before pushing off for a tornado DDT. Panther counters, however, swinging him around and dropping him stomach-first across the top rope. Panther follows up with a hard right hand to the head before wrapping his arms around his waist and whipping him up off the rope and into powerbomb position. The crowd comes unglued once again. COLE Wait a minute! He's going for it again! He's going for Da Bomb! CABOOSE But look at Blurricane! He's got that top rope hooked! Indeed! Blurricane's got the rope gripped tightly, and thus Panther's unable to execute Da Bomb. He damn sure tries, though, pulling at the Blurricane with all his might, trying to yank him off the rope as he did earlier, but this time he's unsuccessful. Frustrated, Panther dumps him right back down across the top rope, then blasts him with a right hand than knocks him onto the apron. Panther breathes an angry breath and takes a brief walk around the ring to compose himself. Once Blurricane's returned to his feet, Panther moves back in on him, only to catch another shoulder thrust to the gut. Another HARD thrust sends Panther flying out to the center of the ring, at which point, the champion propels himself to the top rope and springboards off- WHAM!!!! --RIGHT INTO A DROPKICK FROM PANTHER!!!!!!! He catches it right to the stomach, and clutches at his midsection as he pulls himself back to his knees. Panther's eying him as he rises, and as soon as he reaching a kneeling position, Panther darts into the ropes and comes off at full speed... CRACK!!! ...CONNECTING with a running front dropkick right to the face of the Blurricane! Panther with a cover...hook of the leg... 1... 2... THRRRRRR--NO!!!!!!! Only a TWOOOOOOO~! COLE What impact by Panther there. COACH Yeah...Blurricane looks hurt...hurt bad too. A "PAN-THER" chant starts up on the left side of the arena, bringing a smile to the challenger's face as he reaches for Blurricane's arm, but the champion quickly yanks his arm away and pulls it close to his stomach. The ref backs Panther up and moves in to check on The Blurricane. CABOOSE Looks like he got the wind knocked out of him by that dropkick! Indeed. He's breathing heavily, almost gasping for as Referee Robinson asks if he's able to continue. Suddenly, Panther shoves Robinson away and reaches for the Blurricane, cautiously lifting him back to a standing position. Once he's on his feet, Panther pats him on the back and asks if he's ok; Blurricane--still unable to catch a breath--nods affirmatively. "Good," says Panther, as he takes a step back...then BURIES his knee deep into Blurricane's gut, sending him crumbling to his knees. Panther then grabs a front facelock and uses it to yank Blurricane back to his feet, and once he's vertical, Panther tosses his arm back over his head and lifts him up for a suplex. He holds him high up for a moment--allowing Blurricane's blood to rush to his head--before dropping him forward, causing him to snap stomach-first off the top rope one more time! A lot of boos from the Blurricane fans as Panther saunters around the ring with a smile on his face! COLE Panther just suckered Blurricane in, there! CABOOSE And I love it! That's how you wrestle! None of that friendship stuff! If your opponent is injured, go straight for the injury! COACH That's just what Panther's doing here! Look at him! Blurricane tries to sit up, but Panther kicks him right back down to the mat and begins stomping him hard right to the gut. Blurricane grabs the bottom rope with his right hand, so the ref steps between them and admonishes Panther. REF. ROBINSON C'mon, Panther! He's got the ropes! Break it up! Panther reluctantly backs off, holding up the palms of his hands as Robinson pushes him back out toward the center of the ring. With the referee's attention focused on Panther, Tina takes it upon herself to reach into the ring and choke Blurricane. LOUD boos from the crowd as the X Champ kicks his legs wildly! COLE Hey c'mon, now! That was uncalled for! CABOOSE That's called trying to win, Cole! When titles are on the line, you do whatever it takes to get the win, and as much as I dislike Panther, he's doing the right thing here! Leah and Eddy Kalm both climb onto the ring apon, vehemently protesting Tina's actions on the opposite side of the ring, but when the ref turns around, he sees her standing innocently by the ringpost, away from Blurricane. He gives Tina a warning (receiving her trademark angelic smile in return) before turning back to the action, where Blurricane pulls himself up onto all fours. Suddenly, Panther moves in and blasts him with a soccer kick to the gut, causing him to roll over onto his back. Panther follows up with another stomp to the midsection, then brings him back to his feet, where he lifts him up onto his shoulders for a fireman's carry and drops him straight down onto his knee for a gutbuster! Blurricane rolls around on the canvas, clutching at his stomach once more, but he has no time to tend to the injury as Panther moves back in and yanks him back to his feet one more time. Panther drives another hard knee into the gut, then lifts him up onto his shoulders once more. Blurricane squirms, trying to free himself from Panther's grasp, but to no avail, as Panther drops him right down in another gutbuster! Blurricane's in a great deal of pain as he rolls over to the ropes, where Panther catches him with another hard stomp to the gut, followed by another stomp right to the face. Panther then steps out to the apron and raises his right fist into the air (to a mixed reaction from the crowd) before yanking back on the top rope and propeling himself into the ring, landing right across Blurricane's gut with a beautifully executed hilo! Panther quickly goes for the cover... 1... 2... NO! Blurricane grabs the bottom rope to break the count. Panther then grabs a handful of hair and uses that to bring Blurricane back to his knees. He drapes Blurricane throat-first across the middle rope and presses down, choking him. The ref admonishes Panther once more. REF. ROBINSON C'mon, Panther! Stop choking him! 1...2...3... Panther breaks on three, and the ref moves him back out to the center of the ring. With the ref's back turned, Tina moves right in and blasts Blurricane with a hard right hand to the jaw, earning more boos from the capacity crowd. Leah Blackstone once again complains to the ref about the interference as Panther moves in and catches the champ with an elbow to the back of the head. Another. He lifts Blurricane back to his feet and whips him hard into the buckle! Blurricane staggers forward and into Panther's waiting arms, who picks him up and drives him to the canvas with a big spinebuster!!!!!!! Lateral press by Panther... 1... 2... NO!! Blurricane easily kicks out! CABOOSE Should've hooked the leg there, Panther! You might have had him! With Blurricane flat on his back, Panther grabs his hands and applies a Greco-Roman knucklelock and turns his knuckles upward, causing Blurricane to scream in pain. Panther then presses down upon Blurricane, putting his shoulders onto the mat...referee Robinson's right in position to count 1...2...NO! Blurricane raises his right shoulder before the count of three. The champ's arm is trembling as he strains to push Panther away, but Panther has the leverage, and slowly sends his shoulder right back to the mat for 1...2...NO! Blurricane raises his shoulder off the mat once again. Panther then takes the opportunity to drive the point of his knee right into the exposed midsection of the Blurricane! A second time! A third, and Blurricane's shoulder goes right back down to the mat for 1...2...NO! He again raises his shoulder before the count of 3! Panther returns to his feet and yanks Blurricane back up to a seated position. He then releases the Blurricane's right hand and positions himself behind him, wrapping Blurricane's left arm around his throat in the process. He grabs Blurricane's right arm and applies a cross-armed choke; he places the point of his knee right up against the back of Blurricane's neck as he yanks back on the arms. Again, referee Robinson's right there to see if Blurricane can continue. COLE The X-Division Champ is in quite the predicament here! Panther's been attacking that gut relentlessly...Blurricane's been unable to even catch a breath, and now Panther has this hold applied, cutting off even more air from the Blurricane. CABOOSE Yeah, Blurricane's in trouble, and this could be it here. He could be moments away from coughing up that title. Blurricane grits his teeth as Panther continues pulling back on the hold. The camera focuses on Eddy and Leah on the outside; Leah especially has a worried look on her face. She paces frantically as Eddy begins slapping the mat with both hands, trying to rally the crowd. Eventually, the fans pick up his beat and begin to chant... "LET'S GO BLURR-I-CANE!" "LETS GO PAAAANN-THERRR!" "LET'S GO BLURRR-I-CAANNE!!!" "LEET'S GOOO PAAANN-THEERRRRR!" COACH These people are still split! The dueling chants continue as adrenaline begins to flow through Blurricane's veins. His body begins to tremble as he begins to turn into the hold. Panther struggles to maintain, and ends up climbing back to a standing position to gain more leverage. This allows Blurricane to maneuver himself onto his knees, though, where he tries to force his arms up and over his head. Panther's, feeling his advantage beginning to slip away, tries as best he can to keep the hold applied, but it appears to be no use as Blurricane's arms slowly go up...AND... ...PANTHER drives a knee to the small of his back, knocking him forward to the canvas. Panther then straddles his back and re-applies the cross-armed choke, camel clutch style! BIG pop from the pro-Panther portion of the crowd as Panther cinches up again! CABOOSE It's over!!!!!! COACH I gotta agree, 'Boose! No way he gets outta this-- COLE Wait a second! Leah Blackstone places Blurricane's right foot on the bottom rope, then draws referee Robinson's attention to it. He spots it, then taps Panther on the shoulder. REF. ROBINSON Foot's on the rope, Panther! Break it! 1...2...3...4... A perplexed Panther breaks his grip and shoots Robinson a wild-eyed look. On the outside, an angry Tina climbs up onto the apron and begins screaming at Robinson, complaining about Leah's interference! Robinson informs her that he didn't see it, to Tina's annoyance. She glances across the ring at Leah, who gives her a thumbs up, serving only to annoy her further. COLE Heh. Turnabout it fairplay there. Tina shudders before hopping back down to the floor. Meanwhile, Panther grabs Blurricane's hand and yanks him to his feet, where he catches him with a boot right to the stomach. Blurricane staggers back into the ropes, clutching at his injured midsection, but when Panther moves in on him, Blurricane blasts him with a hard right hand, staggering him. Panther tries to respond, but he's beaten to the punch by Blurricane! Blurricane then reaches forward, wrapping his hand around Panther's throat, and the crowd begins to clamor! COLE Chokeslam! Chokeslam coming up--OH WAIT! Panther quickly knocks his hand away and grabs Blurricane by his wrists. Before Blurricane can even react, Panther leaps up and drops to the canvas, pulling Blurricane down stomach-first onto his knees! Another mixed reaction from the crowd as Blurricane rolls around on the canvas, clutching at his stomach again. With Blurricane down, Panther heads out to the apron and begins to ascend the turnbuckles. The crowd starts to stir once more. COLE Panther's going up right here! Could we be getting set to see the frog splash? COACH I think he is, and after all that damage to the stomach, I don't think Blurricane will get up from this. Panther stands upright on the top rope and looks down upon his injured foe. He takes a brief moment to scour the arena before leaping off the top with a frog splash THAAAAAT... MISSES!!!!!!!! COACH Oh! COLE Blurricane rolled out of the way! Panther got nothing but canvas! Listen to this crowd! The pro-Blurricane crowd starts to heat up, drowning out the Panther supporters as the two wrestlers try to pull themselves back to their feet. The fresher Panther makes it up first, but Blurricane's up shortly after, and as soon as Panther turns to face him, Blurricane runs right at him and... CRACK!!!!! CATCHES HIM WITH THE DOOMSDAY KICK TO A HUGE POP FROM THE CROWD!!!!! The impact sends Panther tumbling through the ropes and to the outside as an exhausted Blurricane crumbles to the canvas! COLE Doomsday kick! My God what impact by the Blurricane! Blurricane is down...Panther's down on the outside, and he may be out! Panther's not moving! Tina frantically tries to revive Panther as the referee puts the count down on him. 1... 2... 3... 4... Panther's starting to stir! COACH What happens if Panther gets counted out here? COLE Well, obviously, Blurricane will retain his title, but with a countout win, he'll get 1 point towards his tally in the round robin tournament! And that could happen here, Panther's knocked loopy on the outside. Tina tries to lift Panther up, but he stumbles back to his knees as the ref's count reaches... 5... 6... 7... Panther finally seems to shake the cobwebs, and pull himself back to his feet at the count of 8! He turns back to the ring, and starts to enter, but suddenly, Blurricane comes flying to the outside, wiping out both Panther and Tina with a suicide moonsault!! The crowd becomes unglued again, and numerous "BLURR-I-CANE" chants break out across the arena! COLE What a move by Blurricane! CABOOSE He's insane! COLE Panther and Tina are both down, and fans, you can feel it! The tide is turning in this one! The Champion is just about ready to take control. Blurricane rolls Panther back into the ring and follows him in, catching him with a soccer kick right to the gut as he re-enters the ring. Panther rolls over onto his back, making himself prone to an elbow drop right to the throat. Blurricane then mounts Panther, and begins hammering away upon him with piston-like right hands before being pulled off by the official. Blurricane then brings Panther back to his feet and nails him with a hard right hand! He follows that up with a hard knife-edge chop, then whips Panther toward the buckle. Panther has the presence of mind to leap onto the second turnbuckle before making impact, but Blurricane charges up from behind, leaps onto the second rope and springs back, taking Panther off with a sunset flip! Panther's head smacks hard off the mat, and the ref slides in position to count... 1... 2... 3!!!!!! COLE NO!!!!!!! Just a two!!!!!! Only a two! Tina and the Panther supporters breathe a collective sigh of relief as Blurricane lifts Panther and rips into him with another knife edge. He follows up with a second before whipping Panther towards the opposite corner. Panther's able to reverse, however, and Blurricane goes crashing sternum first into the turnbuckles. Blurricane staggers right back into Panther's waiting arms, and gets taken up and over with a German suplex! The crowd starts FIRING UP (DAMN IT!) as Panther springs back to his feet with intensity in his eyes! CABOOSE Oh no! COACH My boy Panther's feeling it now! Blurricane slowly pulls himself back to his feet, at which point, Panther comes up from behind, grabs another rear waistlock and drills him with a second German, this one causing him to roll backwards and land up against the bottom rope in almost a seated position. Panther springs right back up and shoots another intense glare into the crowd, then points back down at Blurricane, urging the champion to "GET UP"! The crowd starts clapping and stomping in unison as Panther waves him on...almost begging Blurricane to rise as he groggily returns to his feet. Once Blurricane's up, Panther grabs him by the hair and drags him out to the middle of the ring--BUT BLURRICANE SHOVES HIM INTO THE ROPES, and catches him with a spinning wheel kick as he comes off! Panther's down! Blurricane with the cover... 1... 2... 3!!!!! NO!!!!! Panther kicks out again!!! COLE How close do you get?! COACH Blurricane's gotta be asking himself what he has to do to beat this guy! CABOOSE Well we may find the answer here! Look. Blurricane's right back up and hook Panther's arms for the Blur Effect (Vertebreaker). He lifts Panther up off the canvas and into position...BUT PANTHER MANAGES TO ROLL OFF HIS BACK! Panther grabs a rear waistlock and drives Blurricane into the ropes for a roll-up, but Blurricane hooks the top rope, sending Panther rolling back out to the center of the ring. Panther quickly rolls back to his feet and charges Blurricane, but the champ has him scouted and side-steps him, sending Panther through the ropes-- WHAM!!!!!! --but comes through with a 619, catching Blurricane right in the back and knocking him forward and out to the apron! Panther raises his right fist into the air, drawing a huge pop from the crowd as Blurricane starts to pull himself back to his feet. Panther notices him stirring and heads out to the adjacent apron, and once Blurricane's standing, Panther springboards off the top rope and leaps at Blurricane, taking him off the apron and down to the floor with a huracanrana. The crowd erupts when Panther hits the move, but both he and Blurricane hit the floor hard, and are down on the outside. COACH What a match this has turned out to be! COLE Both these men are pulling out all the stops here tonight in Australia. The crowd begins to boo for some reason. The camera cuts to the ramp, revealing J. Arthur Edwards heading down to the ring. COLE Wait a damn minute! What is this asshole doing out here? CABOOSE He's just here to watch the match, Cole! Is that so wrong? COLE I dunno. I've got a feeling that this guy is up to somethi--HEY!!!!! That piece of garbage! The crowd boos wildly as JAE walks up to an unsuspecting Leah Blackstone and yanks her to the mat by her hair! Eddy Kalm approaches him, but he gets shoved down as well. Referee Robinson walks over to where JAE is and sticks his head through the ropes, pointing toward the locker room and telling him to leave. JAE begins to argue with Robinson. Suddenly... CHRISTOPHER CAIN hops from the crowd on the opposite side of the ring. Panther slowly begins to pull himself back to his feet, but gets mowed right down by a hard clothesline from Cain. Panther rolls around on the mat as Cain turns to his intended target: The Blurricane. With the ref distracted by JAE, Cain lifts Blurricane up over his shoulder, and drops him down with Quick Death on the arena floor. The crowd boos as Cain grabs the groggy Panther and rolls him back into the ring, then rushes around the ring to where JAE is standing. The two then start back up the ramp with smiles on their faces, and referee Robinson turns back around, spotting an unconscious Blurricane on the outside. The crowd is mercilessly booing the Machine members as the ref begins to put the count down... 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... ... 10~! DING DING DING **cue INSANE BOOING! BUFFER Here is your winner, as a result of a countout: PAAAAAAANTHER!!!!!!! Chants of "BULLSHIT" echo throughout the arena as Tina slides into the ring to attend to Panther. Panther sits up on the mat and holds his bottom lip, which is bleeding as a result of the Christopher Cain clothesline. He then shoots an evil glare up the ramp, where Edwards and Cain look on, grinning from ear to ear! We then cut back out to the floor, focusing on the unconscious Blurricane on the outside. COLE I can't believe this, fans! The Machine has ruined this match! They've put the screws to the Blurricane...this is disgusting! COACH Sounds like these fans agree! We might see a riot up in this mother! COLE Panther picks up the win here. The title cannot change hands via DQ or count out, so Panther doesn't get the title, but Panther does get one point added to his score in the round robin tournament! This is just...unbelievable. Panther slaps the canvas in frustration as he and Tina exit the ring and start to head back up the ramp. Meanwhile, Eddy and Leah attend to the fallen Blurricane on the outside. COLE That means, folks that the points tally so far in this Road to the Elimination Chamber looks like this: LEON RODEZ: 2 Points Panther: 1 Point Drek Stone: 0 points The Blurricane: 0 points The Mad Cappa: 0 points Gunner Sharps: 0 points COACH There we have it. Leon Rodez is the first leader of the Road to the Elimination Chamber! He has the advantage! COLE Could we be seeing Leon Rodez getting a Heavyweight Title shot at the November PPV? CABOOSE Oh, I hope not. COACH Drek suddenly finds himself tied for LAST PLACE in this tournament. This could be tough for him to overcome! CABOOSE Oh, don't make me sick. COLE I wouldn't worry too much, Caboose. Next week, there will be three different matches in this Round Robin tournament. The standings could look completely different by then! CABOOSE They will. They have to. COACH Imagine that……we might have the chance to see Crystal and Leon Rodez in November! CABOOSE I have truly stepped into hell, no doubt about that. ******************************************* Meanwhile, Backstage ... Stephen Joseph Cappa, I'm sure you're wondering where I've been. Haven't you? Cappa ... Stephen Joseph I debated whether or not I wanted to defend this...idolic...piece of trash you called your title at one point. I thought about it, and really, the guys I was going to have you face, well, they're not exactly worthy. So, you're not getting a chance to earn a chance face me tonight, you're just not worthy enough. But I know how you can be. See, Mr. Peter Cone is unrightly declaring me to be ... get this ... a pawn of the devil! Can you believe that, HE think he knows God better than I? Let's see, I knew Zack Malibu was all rotten on the inside, he didn't. I knew what the Trinity really meant, he didn't. Cappa, what you have to realize in this game is that Mr. Cone and his buddy Dandy are nothing more than mere pawns, they were that on IntenseZone, and they're that now. Window-dressing, and nothing more. Cappa I want my shot. Stephen Joseph Oh, and you'll have your chance, because what is the master without a student to teach. And one day, you'll probably beat me. But I'll have left my mark on you, just as I left the mark on all those before. Dan Black felt it, Tony felt it, and look at them today, no longer pawns of mine, but allies. No Cappa, we're going to earn your right to this title, and we're going to do it at Dirty Deeds. The Infernales should not have gotten involved in this. They're going to learn why they shouldn't have, they will receive divine retribution at Dirty Deeds. Cappa, you best prepare for the coming of that day. We, you and I, student and master, will meet them in ring. You get what you want when the appropriate sacrifice, them, is made it me. Understand? Cappa That you're trying to play mind games with me, trying to force me to be you? Yes. And I'll play, but you won't win. Stephen Joseph That's what everyone's said before...And well, who's the one person in charge right now. Me. Dandy and Poet will pay for their sins. *COMMERCIAL BREAK* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 COLE Ladies and Gentlemen, we were promised a huge show tonight, and I think this next match might just be, in a literal sense, the biggest ever in the OAOAST. Its 10 men vs. 10 in a WILDCARD TAG TEAM MATCH! COACH Wow, that’s, like, twenty men! COLE It sure is! Twenty men forming the growing legend of the OAOAST tag division. There’s no title shot on the line, no trophy- just pride in showing who the best team is. However, while the tag teams themselves have been kept intact, there are no boundaries here. The teams have been selected entirely at random, so anyone could be teaming with anyone! CABOOSE Stop your mouth flapping Cole. Let’s get to it. BUFFER The following contest is the TWENTY MAN WILDCARD MATCH! Introducing team number one… Cue: “Age of Aquarius” BUFFER …at a total combined weight of 455lbs, Logan Mann and Tiffany Ruutu- The MUUUUUUSES! The former Saints walk down to the ring, looking determined. Cue: “Calling Doctor Love” COLE YES! MY FAVOURITE TEAM! BUFFER Total combined weight 410lbs- Dr Stephen Pigley, Dr Max Anderson- The LUUUUUUURVE DOCTORS! The Docs dance down to the ring, stripping off their white coats as they go and smiling at all the ladies. But not Cole. Cue: “Hit Me Verdi One More Time” BUFFER Combined weight of A HELL OF A LOT, they are JINGUS and The Sadist- HELL’S HITMEN! The two monsters, still caked in blood, walk down to the ring and join their team mates in the squared circle. The Muses and The Docs back away from the Hitmen immediately. Cue: “Stupid” BUFFER At a combined weight of 290lbs- Alex Spezia and Krista Isadora Duncan- CHICKS OVER DICKS! The CoD walk down to the ring, eyes fixed on the Hitmen. COLE Just last week, CoD amazingly defeated Hell’s Hitmen in a brutal match. And now they find themselves on the same team, not to mention the Chick’s play things- The Muses! COACH Who’s going to be the final team here? Cue: ….ah, you know it by now. BUFFER The final members of Team One- the OAOAST TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! JOHNNY JACKSON! SCOTTY STATIC! THE GLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOBAL PARTY XCHANGE! GPX bop to the ring, proudly displaying their tag titles and soaking up the cheers of the Aussie crowd. They step into the ring- right into the chests of the towering Hitmen. COACH Oh boy…Hell’s Hitmen are pissed they still haven’t got the title shot they believe they deserve. CABOOSE Well, they DO hold a victory over GPX. Our referee for this match, a new official by the name of Clem Buzzlefoxer (although he looks to be around 80 years old, thin and white haired) has the tough job of keeping the Hitmen from ripping into GPX and CoD right away. The old fella has some surprisingly tough talk however, and gets the misfit team gathered together on one side of the ring. BUFFER And now, their opponents, team number two…first…. Cue: “Frankenstein” BUFFER Weighing in at 510lbs, Frank and Frankie, The FRANKENSTEINERS! The Frankies run down to the ring and show no fear in sliding in to face up to their ten opponents. Cue: “Bully” BUFFER At a combined weight of 353lbs, Alex, Sean, The BRYANTS! Sean leads his cousin down to the ring, a confident smirk on his face. They join the Frankensteiners, who look at them with concern. Cue: “Mindfields” BUFFER Weighing in at 403lbs, Nate and Mikey, The TETHERS! The former RAS walk seriously out, looking to make an impression on the tag scene. Cue: “Chase” BUFFER Total combined weight of 465lbs- “Narcissistic” Ned Blanchard and “Sarcastic” Simon Singleton- the New NEW MIDNIGHT EXPRESS! The NNMX, former tag team champs, strut down to the ring, closely followed by their guru Mr. James E Cornette. NNMX join their partners, staring aggressively at the men who took the titles from them, ending a brief reign, the GPX. BUFFER And finally… Cue: “Quiet” BUFFER Accompanied by Jivin’ Jim Ross, and weighing in at total combined weight of 548lbs- T.Bod and Dan Black- BLLLLLLLLLLLLACK T! Dan and T.Bod, in matching black and white trunks, appear through Dan’s traditional smoke entrance. His normal grunge entrance music suddenly stops however, to be replaced with- COLE YES! THE HUSTLE! Indeed, the classic disco beat of the Hustle plays, as Jivin’ Jim Ross takes his turn to come out! JR is dressed as Crocodile Dundee, and appears to be trying to perform a striptease as he makes his way to the ring, but he gets stuck in the jacket and, breathless, has to slump in a ringside chair. The Hustle ends, as Black T step into the ring slowly. A graphic: 20 MAN WILD CARD Global Party Xchange, The Love Doctors, The Muses, Chicks over Dicks & Hell's Hitmen vs. Black T, The New New Midnight Express, The Tethers, The Bryants and The Frankensteiners Clem the ref tries to get two men to start. It looks like Dan Black is volunteering himself, but when he sees The Sadist step forward for his team, Dan shoves Sean Bryant into the middle of the ring and beckons the rest of the troops out. COLE Oh come on! That kids barely 130lbs! Sadist is 370! This is a total mis-match! COACH That’s what we said last week, when CoD beat Hell’s Hitmen! CABOOSE I don’t think this little drip is going to get so lucky… Sean bounces on his feet, totally confident. Sadist waits, grinning, as Clem calls for the bell. DING DING DING COACH Well, we have an orderly start to this match. I wonder how long it will last… The younger Bryant gets in Sadist’s face- well, his pectorals, anyway- before performing a series of break dancing moves and popping up next to Sadist. The monster half kills Sean with a thunderous lariat, picks him up into a Gorilla Press and then just throws him high out of the ring to the floor! Sadist turns to his other nine opponents and beckons them all on. No one moves. Dan and T.Bod drop to the floor, grab Sean and throw him back into the ring. As Black T climb onto the apron, Alex Bryant protests, and gets totally blanked. CABOOSE Yeah, he’s really not worthy of talking to Black T yet. Sadist grabs Sean in and sets for a power bomb, but Alex jumps into the ring to save his younger sibling, and CHOPS at Sadist. The monster chuckles, and head butts Alex down. Both Tethers suddenly jump onto the top rope and springboard in with dropkicks to the chest of Sadist, who is rocked back! The Love Doctors take exception to the intrusion, and jump in, going to work on the Tethers with forearm shots! Meanwhile, the NNMX take TWO tennis rackets from Jim Cornette, and with the referee distracted by the brawling Docs, they NAIL Sadist about the head with them! NNMX are about to duck out of the ring, when they get drop kicked in the head by the entering GPX! NNMX slide to the floor, where they’re quickly joined by the Tethers, as the Docs throw them out, and then both Bryants, as JINGUS comes in to the aid of his partner. GPX look at the bodies on the floor, and both run the ropes, jumping onto the top rope and executing stereo springboard shooting star presses to the six men below! The crowd POP for the champs! With GPX now in the melee of bodies on the floor below, the Love Docs look at each other, do a little dance, run the ropes and hit twisting planchas over the top rope to the pile of grapplers! The Docs get screams of approval from the ever growing legion of Doc Lovers, as their fans have been labelled by, er, the Docs. Meanwhile, the CoD and Muses seem to be having some kind of conference on the ring apron. JINGUS helps up the Sadist, while Black T appear completely disinterested in the whole match. JINGUS looks at the men on the floor, struggling to their feet, and throws back his head with a roar! COLE Oh come on! JINGUS- you can’t be thinking- COACH GPX and the Docs are high flyers! JINGUS can’t- But he can. The Devilman slowly climbs up to the top turnbuckle, facing away from the crowd and- MOONSAULT! JINGUS’s 350lbs CRUSH the men on the floor into the mat! Clem the ref holds his head in confusion! The Chicks are motioning to the Muses to get into the ring. COLE The CoD are going to send the Muses out there too! CABOOSE That’s just degrading! The former Saints run the ropes- and get flattened by Black T jumping into the ring! Dan and T.Bod pose and laugh as the Chicks enter and stare them down. CABOOSE Ah c’mon, these little girls want to take on the best tag team EVER in the OAOAST? Krista and Alix approach Black T, who are still laughing- laughs that get SLAPPED from their handsome faces! Dan and T.Bod look at each other, horrified, and lunge at the Chicks, who evade them and nail stereo dropkicks that send Black T out of the ring into the mass of bodies at ringside! The Muses are up- but the Chicks make them get down again, on hands and knees, as THEY run the ropes and leap off the backs of the Muses with somersault planchas to the outside! All the guys on the floor are knocked down again! The Muses get to their feet, and set for a dive too- but Sadist has separated from the pack and is back in the ring! Double grip- double choke slam! COLE Ohmygod! Sadist just laid out both Muses! What next?! The answer- one more man is climbing to the top rope. One man who’s daring ladder stunt at AngleSlam is still talked of around the world today. It’s Jivin’ Jim Ross. JR is on the top turnbuckle, looking a little unsteady. Sadist sees him, and laughs and watches. JR is about to jump with a SPLASH- when he has second thoughts, and climbs down to the second rope. And then the first rope. And then the apron. The crowd BOOS Jim’s cowardice! CABOOSE How can they treat a man like JR this way? He’s going to risk his life to entertain them! And indeed, JR leaps off the apron with a DOUBLE AXE HANDLE TO - oh, Dan Black. Dan holds his head and berates JR. Gradually, the mess on the floor disperses, as the teams drag themselves back to their corners. Sadist is in the middle of the ring, pointing at Sean Bryant. CABOOSE That’s right, Sadist and Sean and still the legal men! COLE Oh c’mon, that’s just not fair! Fair or not, Clem too points at Sean and makes him clamber back into the squared circle. As he does so, however, Frankie Frankensteiner slaps him on the back and tags himself in. COACH Well, we’ve not seen much of the Frankensteiners so far, but it looks like they have plenty of guts. Frankie locks up with Sadist, trying to use his amateur background, but Sadist just shoves him to the mat and laughs. Frankie KIPS UP, and lays out Sadist with a FrankensteinerLine! Frankie puts the boots to Sadist before dragging him over to his teams corner and tagging in his brother Frank. Frank and Frankie slug down Sadist, before executing a double team Irish whip and knocking Sadist to the mat with a double shoulder block. Frank brings Sadist up and hits a jawbreaker that leaves Sadist draped across the top rope. Frank runs the ropes, but makes the mistake of trusting his team mates, and Dan Black slaps his shoulder and tags himself in. Dan enters, looking smug, and works Sadist over with European uppercuts and chops. Black then applies an arm bar, and with pressure from his boot to the back of Sadist’s leg brings the monster down to one knee. Black wrenches on the arm, but, of course, this merely fires up the monster. COLE You’d think Dan would have learnt by now. COACH Maybe he isn’t as bright as he thinks he is. Sadist, buoyed by the pain of the hold, starts to get to his feet, as the crowd start up a chant: “KILL THE POM! KILL THE POM! KILL THE POM!” CABOOSE Racist bastards. Sadist head butts Dan, and tags in his partner, JINGUS, but as soon as the Devilman steps into the ring he’s tagged on the shoulder by Johnny Jackson, who vaults into the ring and away from the corner to cheers from the fans. JJ shows of a couple of dances moves before turning to Dan- and KICK WHAM BLACKOUT- No, Jackson pushes him off, and as Dan turns back hits him with a step up enziguiri! Dan totters, and Johnny gathers him in for a stiff snap suplex. The first cover of the match! ONE! TWO! Dan kicks out quickly. Jackson brings him up and tags in Scotty Static- but JINGUS just grabs Scotty by the hair and snaps him to the floor as he enters the ring! Clem remonstrates with the Devilman, who holds his hands up in innocence. Johnny gets in the face of JINGUS, but Clem calms him down. COACH The Hell’s Hitmen and GPX are clearly not going to get along here. This could cost their team the match. Black is up to his feet before Scotty, and executes a snap mare on the tag champ, followed by a dropkick to the back of the head as he’s seated on the mat! Dan locks on the Heart Of Ice! (Crippler Crossface). Scotty struggles in the hold, hand wavering, but before he can even consider tapping Alex Spezia comes in and breaks it up with an elbow to the back of Black’s head. As the ref gets Alex out of the ring, Dan rolls over and tags the nearest man, which happens to be Ned Blanchard. Scotty too rolls to his corner, and tags Max Anderson. Max and Ned meet in the middle of the ring, and go straight into an exchange of punches! Ned gets the upper hand and whips Max to the ropes, but Anderson vaults over Blanchard’s attempt at a back drop nails a spin kick to the chest as Ned turns round. Max drills Ned with a scoop slam and a standing moonsault into a cover: ONE! TWO! THR-Kick out! Anderson brings Ned up and sets for a German suplex, but Ned counters into his own and dunks Max right on the back of his head with the release German! Ned grabs Max up and tags in his partner, “Sarcastic” Simon Singleton, and the NNMX whip Max to the ropes- double team flapjack! Max is driven hard into the canvas, and Simon covers: ONE! TWO! THRE- Logan Mann breaks it up. Simon looks with disgust at Logan, and lunges at him, but Mann just ducks back out of the ring and Simon finds himself looking into the face of the Sadist on the apron! Singleton quickly backs off, and sees Max crawling away- and tagging Krista! She leaps in over the top rope and reels off a pair of arm drags to the NNMX member, who staggers to his feet only to take a SPEAR to the gut! COLE What impact! This one could be over right here! Cover! ONE! TWO! THREE- No, Nate Tethers breaks it up. Krista brings Simon up and goes for a gut wrench suplex, but Simon counters to a Northern Lites suplex! ONE! TWO! Kickout! Simon stomps Krista down, but then misses an elbow drop, and Krista tags in Logan Mann. The former rock star charges at Simon, who calmly drop toe holds him and locks on a side headlock. Under encouragement from the CoD however, Logan fights back to one knee and then pushes Simon off to the ropes. Singleton ducks Logan’s lariat and bounces off the ropes opposite, only to get a drop toe hold of his own and take an leg drop to the back of the head! The Chicks approve, and send Logan up to the top rope- but T.Bod, cleverly quiet in the match so far, just shakes the top rope and Logan is crotched! T.Bod follows by dragging Singleton into his teams corner and tagging himself in. T.Bod climbs up after Logan and peppers him with stiff forearm shots, before locking on a front face lock and slowly setting Mann up for a super plex! Before he can execute it, however, Frank Frankensteiner has run up with him, and appears to be about to help T.Bod hit a double team superplex! But JINGUS and Sadist run in, getting into the corner in front of T.Bod and Frank and grabbing them around the waists! Before anyone else can move, Hell’s Hitmen POWERBOMB T.Bod and Frank off the middle rope! Their grip is still locked on Logan, so the superplex is forcibly completed with HUGE impact! The Hitmen growl happily, before putting Logan onto T.Bod for the cover. ONE! TWO! THREE! No- Alex Bryant breaks it up! Referee Clem clears everyone but Logan and T.Bod out, and the two slowly get to their feet. The Chicks try to rally their muse to their corner, as Dan encourages his friend on. We get a double tag to Alex Bryant and Alex Spezia! The two Alex’s exchange chops, before Spezia pokes Bryant in the eye and tries for a suplex, but Bryant flips out, landing behind his opponent and locking on a full nelson for a Dragon suplex, but Alex escapes, rolls round behind, er, Alex and hits him with a reverse DDT! Cover! ONE! TWO! THR- Kickout! Spezia brings Bryant up, but gets caught into a cradle! ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Spezia kicks out at 2.9. Both competitors rolls up, and Bryant swings and misses, allowing Spezia to hit a neck breaker, followed by a tag to Johnny Jackson. Jackson and Spezia whip Bryant to the ropes and hit a biiiiiig back body drop. Alex hits the mat, clutching his back, but Johnny is right after him, bringing him up and whipping him into one of the vacant corners. Jackson runs in with a stinger splash- but Bryant moves at the last minute! COACH Oh! Big impact on the turnbuckle for Johnny! This could put him in some trouble here. CABOOSE Someone needs to step in and end that punks career. Bryant needs to tag one of Black T in, he’s not the man to do it. As Jackson bounces off the corner, Bryant grabs him from behind and hits the Dragon suplex he was trying for earlier! He holds for the bridge! ONE! TWO! THREE! No! Dr Stephen Pigley breaks up the count! COACH With so many men around to stop pins, are we ever going to get a winner in this match? COLE We have to take a break, don’t go anywhere, we’ll be right back with the continuation of this match! *COMMERCIAL BREAK* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 COLE Welcome back to HeldDOWN Austria! COACH Australia! We come back to Krista Isadora Duncan in the ring with Mikey Tether! Mikey whips Krista into the ropes and goes for a tilt-a-whirl back drop but Krista smartly counters it into an arm drag! Mike immediately stands up and takes Krista down with a high knee lift! Krista attempts to roll away but Mikey brings her to her feet. He gets Krista into a front face lock! She wiggles her body against his grip and eventually gets out of it! She buries a boot in his gut and rocks his world with a roll the dice! Mikey’s face smacks the mat and crimson goo starts to drip out of his nose! Krista goes for a pin but before ref Clem can even make the count, Simon Singleton is there to break it up! Krista hurls a few expletives at Simon then goes back to work on Mikey. She lifts him up into a waistlock, then summons her strength to hit him with a German suplex! But as Krista lifts him into the air, Mikey places his foot onto the ropes, and uses them to push off! He escapes Krista’s grasp and ends up flipping over head where he’s able to take her down with a flipping neck breaker! On the ring apron Mikey’s partner Nate claps for the move but T-Bod screams at Mikey for going for such a high risk move when a low risk one would’ve sufficed. CABOOSE That’s a good knowledge of the ring lay out by Mike Tether. He knew exactly where he was and used his location to his advantage Mikey walks to his corner where’s he’s tagged out by Alex Bryant! Mikey protests that he wanted to tag in Nate, but Alex couldn’t care less! Mikey continues to argue with Alex, but T-Bod orders him out of the ring! Krista crawls to her corner and makes the tag with Scotty Static! The audience gets on their feet and loudly cheers the arrival of Scotty into the match! CABOOSE They act like they’ve never seen GPX before! Scotty Static gets Alex into a headlock! They fight over that tame move for a couple of seconds, before Alex is able to get out of it with a drop toe hold! Before Scotty knows what hits him, Alex takes hold of both of his legs and lifts him up for a wheel barrow suplex! At the height of the move, Scotty is able to take hold of Alex's neck and turn it into a bulldog! BUT Alex turns Scotty's bulldog into an atomic drop! Although slightly hurt by the move, Scotty is able to spin around and hit Alex with a discus punch! BUT, Alex blocks the punch with his forearm and knocks Scotty STUPID with a straight headbutt! COLE That's using the ol noggin! COACH And people say my jokes aren't funny? Scotty falls to the mat holding his head! Alex grabs him into a grounded inverted face lock! The budding superstar tries to stretch out the tag team champion! Scotty’s teammates encourage him to fight back and he does just that. He plants his feet against the ground then springs up! Alex tries to lift him for a curtain call, but Scotty flips behind him! Scotty goes for a cobra clutch bomb, but Alex counters with a mule kick! Alex turns around and ROCKS Scotty with an exploder suplex! CABOOSE Solid stuff. Alex takes a hold of a dazed Scotty and lifts him in the air for a vertical suplex! Apparently, Scotty isn't as out of it as we thought as he slips out of the move and lands behind Alex! Scotty grabs Alex into a waistlock! Bullets of sweat start to shoot off Alex's face as he scrambles to the ropes, with Scotty still having a hold on him! Alex clutches onto the ropes for dear life, but Scotty is able to pull him down for a roll up! 1 2 KICK OUT! Back on their feet, the two slug it out with a non stop flurry of punches! The crowd sits on the edge of their seat, silently hoping to see Scotty get the upper hand. Keep wishing people! Alex takes control by catching Scotty's right arm, bending it behind his back, then placing his head underneath his left arm, then hooking his left leg, then lifting him up and dropping back to mat so that the killer move lands Scotty his right arm and causes him a great deal of distress! Alex gets onto his knees and proudly admires his handy work. CABOOSE That's called a Takami Special! I'll tell you something, Alex Bryant has the potential to be one of the best technical wrestlers the game has ever seen. COLE I don't know Caboose, Triple H has seen a lot of wrestlers. Get it? COACH God damn.... Alex puts the boots to Scotty’s chest! On the third stomp however, Scotty is able to catch Alex’s foot and he drops the Windsor native down to the mat with a single leg take down! Alex leaps to his feet and lifts Scotty up for a back drop! Scotty slips out of the move! He charges at Alex and takes him over with a head scissors take over! The move sends Alex flying into a vacant corner where his head bounces of the ring post! He staggers backwards and Scotty gets a rollup! 1 2 KICK OUT! Both men get to their feet! Scotty gives Alex a fine “how do you do” when he belts him with dropsault! The aerial attack gets nice pop from rabid fans! Scotty stops to acknowledge their cheers. Unfortunately his vanity proves to be his own worst enemy as Alex is able to recover. The eldest Bryant cousin hammers Scotty with a European uppercut! Sweat continues to drip down Alex’s face and obstruct his vision. This causes him to fan on spinning back elbow! After Alex whifs like he’s Tie Domi on a breakaway! Scotty gives him a boot to the gut, courtesy of his old school Air Jordans! The current tag team champ takes Alex up for a powerbomb! However, Alex rolls his body to the side and takes Scotty down with an arm drag! Scotty scoops himself up then runs the ropes! He comes back at Alex who side steps him! However, instead of running past his adversary, Scotty puts on the breaks and tries to take him over with a hip toss! This might’ve worked except for the fact that Alex landed on the ropes! While still hooked into Scotty’s arm, he uses the ropes to push himself off and lands on his feet! Once back on the mat he pulls Scotty towards him and hits him with a sitout powerslam! COACH Did you see that? A sitout powerslam! These young guys are always looking to impress. But no one impresses like the Coach. Just ask Krista. CABOOSE Didn’t she dump scalding hot coffee down your pants backstage? With Scotty lying prone on the mat, Alex is free to make a tag to the partner of his choosing. It looks like T-Bod is the lucky man! Alex tags him in, but not by slapping his hand, but rather by slapping his face! T-Bod is incredulous but the rest of his team, who’s pretty damn sick of his holier then thou attitude, yells at him to get in the ring. T-Bod turns to Dan Black for support, but Dan pretends not to notice him. COLE A member of Black T verus a member of GPX! You have to love the battles these two teams have! Scotty is taken over by a surge of adrenaline at seeing one of his most hated rivals enter the ring! He rushes towards T-Bod and monkey flips him to the center of the ring! T-Bod stands up, clutching his back and asking for a timeout! Scotty continues to see red and hits T-Bod with a running facecrusher! COLE Uh-oh! Time for the worm! CABOOSE Wrong Scotty. Scotty yanks T-Bod up by his thick locks, then proceeds to rain a downpour of nasty closed fists on the top of his head! T-Bod angrily shoves Scotty away, but the GPX member comes right back with a lou thez press! This displeases T-Bod mightily and he slugs Scotty in the jaw! Scotty slumps onto T-Bod and T-Bod pushes him away the way a child pushes his blanket away on Christmas morning. T-Bod grabs a hold of Scotty’s arm, brings him to his feet and whips him to the corner! There Tiffany Ruutu following stern orders from Alix makes a blind tag! COACH I don’t think Mr.T saw the tag! T-Bod charges at Scotty with a stinger splash and is incredibly surprised to see Tiffany intercept it with a flap jack! T-Bod holds his hand to his face and not so kindly informs Tiffany that he was the one responsible for he and Logan having jobs in the OAOAST. Tiffany ignores T-Bod’s appeal to his better side and brings him to his feet. He hurls him into the ropes and when T-Bod comes back he goes for a hip toss! BUT T-Bod lands on his feet and instead its Tiffany who gets hip tossed! CABOOSE T-Bod is a student of the game! Yeah he’s arrogant but he can back it up! Tiffy cusses under his breath as T-Bod locks him into a dragon sleeper! Tiffany flails against T-Bod’s grasp and is able to free himself by kneeing the former tag champ in the forehead. Tiffany connects with a punch to the temple, but his body blow is easily blocked! T-Bod takes Tiff’s arm and pulls him in closer, ramming his shoulder into his upper body! Tiff drops to the ground and T-Bod takes some time to strut around the ring! “YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!” The chant actually manages to take T-Bod off his game and Tiff surprises him with a school boy! 1 2 KICK OUT! Both men get to their feet at the same time but its T-Bod who scores first with a lariat! T-Bod drags Tiffany to his corner and makes the tag with Nate Tether. Nate steps into the ring and goes right to work on Tiffany! Tiffany doesn’t feel like playing the victim tonight and while on his knees, elbows Nate in the stomach! Tiffany grabs him into a front face lock then shoots him over head with a release fishermen’s suplex! Now Tiffany picks Nate up and hits him with a side Russian leg sweep! Only instead of dropping him on his back, Tif makes sure Nate lands right on the back of his head! Tif starts to rock out on the air guitar but Alix sharply reproaches him. Angered at being censored, Tiffany decides to take out his frustrations on Nate. He rips off his Kenneth Cole tie and uses it to choke Nate! Nate’s face turns the color of the Atlantic Ocean as Tif mercilessly makes his life a living hell! Mikey Tether has seen enough and he charges into the ring! BUT Referee Clem cuts him off and the toothless yokel orders him back to his corner. Mikey refuses to go and the two have a heated exchange. Always the clever one, Tiffany claps his hands together and orders one of his teammates to get into the ring! Jingus responds to the call! Tiffany spots Jingus running towards he and Nate and he gulps. He’s not sure if Jingus is going to hurt him or Nate. He gets the answer he was looking for when Jingus takes Nate up for a powerbomb! Right before he slams Nate to the mat, Tiffany hits the Tether brother with a leg drop! So now Nate has to deal with being driven into the canvas and having his larynx crushed by a leg drop! COLE The crowd loves its OAOAST super stars! COACH I’ve noticed the longer the match goes on, the more irrelevant your commentary becomes. Tiffany scampers out of the ring, leaving Jingus to have his way with Nate. Jingus picks Nate up by the throat and violently slams him into a neutral corner! Spit flies out from Nate’s mouth as the force of the blow rocks his entire body. He tries to stagger out of the corner, but his escape is halted when Jingus pounds him with a hard punch! The shot sends Nate right back into the corner and its noticed that blood is starting to drip from his mouth in addition to the spit. Tiny droplets of it land on the ring floor in different positions. CABOOSE Nate’s been busted open. We could be seeing the ending of the match. Jingus beats his chest like Tarzan possessed! He then turns to Nate and charges at him with a lowered shoulder! Nate leaps onto the second rope then rolls his body forward and gets Jingus into a roll up! 1 2 KICK OUT! Nate gets up and runs away from Jingus like he slept with his wife! Johnny Jam Jackson hurls an insult at Jingus for almost getting pinned and the big man’s attention turns to his GPX partner instead of on Frank Frankensteiner who had just been tagged in by Nate Tether! Frank takes Jingus to the mat with a sweet belly to back suplex! If Jingus wasn’t paying attention to Frank before, he sure is now! Frank puts Jingus down with a second belly to back suplex! Jingus now finds himself on the defensive and it’s a position he’s not very comfortable with. His inability to dominate Frank the way he does everyone else, leaves him angry and his anger leaves him prone to mistakes! He makes his first one by blidnly charging at Frank! Frank steps out of the way and pushes Jingus to the ropes! Wrestling physics go to work and Jingus runs back to Frank! Frank sends him flying high over head with a belly to belly suplex! The sound of Jingus hitting the mat can be heard all the way in the states! The crowd who isn’t very familiar with the Frankensteiner’s still have to cheer Frank’s display of strength! Admitting defeat Jingus rolls to his corner and tags in Stephen Pigley! COLE Aww yeah! Work it, boyfriend! Work it! CABOOSE I think Rick Shirley was right about you.... On the apron Johnny is giving Jingus all kinds of shit for getting “owned” by a tag team newcomer. Jingus actually manages to hold his anger in for quite some time until Johnny makes the mistake of mentioning that Alix beat both Frankensteiners in a handicap match at a house show this past Tuesday. Jingus ain’t Audioslave but he’s been set off! He grabs Johnny by the throat and with his eyes burning with rage, chokeslams him off the apron onto the outside mats! Needless to say this causes Scotty to flare up! He tries to get at Jingus, but Tiffany holds him back. Tiffany doesn’t really care about Scotty’s well being, he just figures that the more people there are in the match, there’s less chance for him to have to do any work. Back in the ring Pigley places the decorated wrestling champion’s leg over his shoulder, and with his back to Frank, Pigley bends down and tosses him over his body forcing him to land face first on the mat! Frank starts to stand up and Pigley decks him with a running knee to the face! Again Frank stands up and again Pigley scores with the running knee! COACH Just stay down Franklin! His face lit up with a smile, Pigley squats down, spreads his legs apart, leans back on his hands and begins to slowly and sensually rotate his pelvis to the beat of a song only he can hear. The women in the front row are overtaken with a sexual fury as Pigley performs his stripper routine! They start to toss dollar bills into the ring and urge Pigley to take it off! Something gets taken off, alright. Only its not Pigley’s clothes. It’s his head courtesy of a WICKED~! Frankensteinerline! COLE What the hell? What a tease! Frank stand up and flexes his muscles. He kisses his bicep then drops an elbow across Pigley’s stomach! An “Oomph!” is heard from Pigley when Frank’s elbow connects with his midsection. CABOOSE We don’t often get to see much of the Love Doctors or the Frankensteiners, but they’re two top teams. Frank makes the tag with Sean Bryant! The two exchange frosty glances, neither man able to forget the encounter they shared those many weeks ago. Sean Bryant’s entry into the match is greeted with cheers and boo’s. On one hand the crowd is not fond of his cocky attitude. At all. On the other hand they know he’s going to go for some impressive moves and cheer him for that! Sean rushes into the ring and drop kicks Pigley in the face! The move lays the sexual healer out on the mat in a vulnerable position! The Doc Lovers yell for him to get up as does Sean Bryant, but for a totally different reason! When Pigley does stand up, Bryant leaps onto his shoulders for a hurricanrana! Pigley grabs a hold of Bryant’s legs and falls backwards, trying to guillotine him on the ropes! Unfortunately Pigley overshot his counter and Bryant lands on the ropes! He bounces back with an awe-inspiring corkscrew moonsault! Pigley moves out of the way! Bryant crashes into the mat like a shot down war plane! Over on the apron, “Coach” T-Bod is lecturing anyone who will listen about the grounded assault being superior to the flashier air assault. After seeing Sean Bryant swing and miss, its hard for anyone to argue. COACH High risk! No reward! Pigley rolls over to his corner and makes the tag to a recovered Johnny Jackson! Johnny’s still talking trash to Jingus and the rest of the team has to literally throw him into the ring. “GPX! GPX! GPX!” The crowd’s chants energize Johnny and he lifts Sean Bryant up for a fall away slam! But Bryant shifts his body forward and is able to turn the fall away slam into a lateral press! 1 2 KICK OUT! Sean Bryant shoots Clem a disapproving glare. He pounds his hand against the mat three times, showing Clem what he should’ve done. The seventeen year old wrestling prodigy shifts his attention back to Johnny Jackson. Bryant bends Jackson over and wraps his arms around his waist! He then hits him with an AMAZINGLY MAJESTIC SUNSET FLIP POWERBOMB! Even the most jaded of crowd member can’t helped but be astonished by that innovative attack! COLE MY GOD! DID YOU SEE THAT?! Bryant goes for a cover! 1 2 The pin is broken up by Krista Isadora Duncan! Referee Clem, who does not have a way with the ladies tries to get Krista out of the ring! As he explains to her the need for her to clear the ring, he places his hand on her chest and she flies off the handle! While he tries to clam her down admist her claims of sexual harassment, Alex Bryant runs into the ring! He and his younger cousin lift Johnny Jackson up for a double suplex, but Jackson counters with a DDT to both men! The reversal causes the chants of GPX to grow louder and louder! “GPX! GPX! GPX!” Jackson lifts Sean Bryant up and hits him with an awesome tilt-a-whirl rock bottom! Jackson pops up and triumphantly raises his arms in the air as the crowd continues to bleat out his team’s name! Groggy, Sean Bryant stands up slowly. He seems to be most upset by the fact that Jackson’s the one wowing the crowd and not him. His body still smarting from the rock bottom, Sean is unable to get the upper hand on Johnny and gets whipped into the ropes! He comes back with a last ditch counter by flying at Johnny with a cross body block. Johnny catches Sean in his arms and turns his cross body block into a Michonoku Driver! COLE Johnny Jackson is on fire! Sean spots Johnny walking to his corner and decides he has to prevent him from making a tag to a fresh partner! He lunges his body forward and grabs a hold of Johnny’s foot! He manages to trip the party animal up, but as Johnny falls to the mat he’s able to make the tag with Alix! COLE The two smallest wrestlers in the contest are about to go at it! CABOOSE I wouldn’t call Alix a wrestler... COACH That non wrestler has sold merchandise in a month then you’ve sold in two years. Alix climbs to the top rope and whips the crowd into a frenzy! They stand up in anticipation of what could possibly be a breath taking offensive maneuver! Alix doesn’t disappoint as she comes off the top with a jaw dropping shooting star press! Not wanting to be on the end of a highlight reel worthy attack, Sean Bryant pulls Johnny Jackson in front of him and gets the hell out of the way! Alix’s entire body slams into Johnny’s Jackson’s face! Something tells me that’s not what Johnny had in mind when he told her he wanted to get up close and personal with her! Alix stands up and brushes strands of her away from her eyes as she watches in horror as Johnny rolls out of the ring, clutching his face. She apologizes profusely while Scotty Static attends to his partner! Sean takes advantage of Alix’s weakened mental state and grabs her into a behind underhook set up! He tries to twist her around for an unprettier, but Alix is able to regain her composure and turns his possible unprettier into a backslide pin! 1 2 KICK OUT! Frustrated that he got put into a pinning predicament, Sean Bryant slams his fist against the mat! He stands up and fires a swift kick into Alix’s midsection! He grabs her for a DDT but Alix counters it into an inverted atomic drop! While clutching his crotch he takes a swing at Alix! Alix goes behind Bryant and lifts the equally small wrestler into the air for a back suplex, but instead of dropping him backwards, she spins him out in front of her and smokes him with a side effect! COACH Non wrestler huh? CABOOSE I was being facetious! COLE You’re not a cat! Alix flashes a peace sign and the crowd gleefully returns the gesture as Bryant writhes around on the mat! She faces out then goes for a standing reverse 450 splash! She lands it perfectly and the ten thousand dollar man’s eyes roll into the back of his head! The rabid audience wildly cheers her aerial performance! “LET’S GO ALIX! LET’S GO ALIX! LET’S GO ALIX!” Alix brings Sean Bryant to his feet and forearms him in between his shoulder blades! He lurches forward, bellowing out in pain! Alix pounces on him and takes him over with a scoop slam! Instead of just dropping him to the mat, she lands him in position for an inverted DDT! COACH Scoop slam into an inverted DDT! Holla! Not quite, Coach! Sean Bryant spins out of the move, shocking the heck out of Alix! He stuns her with a quick back handed chop! With his rival unable to put up much of a fight Sean locks on a front face lock, drapes her nearest arm across his shoulder, takes hold of her nearest leg, then he holds her in the air, making sure she’s upside down and hovering in front of his body. In one swift and sickening motion, he sits down and spikes her head against the unforgiving mat with a cradle pile driver! Sean Bryant stands up and poses for an unreceptive crowd! Alix’s head starts to feel like its in a fog and the voices around her seem like their coming a continent away. “BRYANT SUCKS! BRYANT SUCKS! BRYANT SUCKS!” CABOOSE Any move you can think of, Sean Bryant can do it. Sean sprints to the enemy corner and knocks Logan off the apron with a forearm! This draws in a well rested Max Anderson! Max storms over to a retreating Sean Bryant but gets halted by good ol Clem! With the referee distracted Ned Blanchard enters the ring untouched. He positions himself behind Sean Bryant and yells out for a double team! Sean happily obliges! He grabs Alix’s legs, then throws her backwards with a wheelbarrow suplex! As planned, Ned catches Alix in his arms and hits her with a somewhat sloppy but certainly half nelson suplex! COACH Pretty good double team! Ned steps back onto the ring apron and rudely informs T-Bod that he’d never be able to mastermind such a two man attack. Alix has rolled onto her stomach and is finding it a great struggle to get to her feet. With the crowd’s attention totally focused on him, Sean Bryant sees this as a perfect time to bask in the spotlight! He runs the ropes, then comes back with a running 450 FROG SPLASH onto Alix’s back! Alix lets out a chilling scream, but Sean’s to into himself to notice how badly she’s hurt. He raises his hand into air to “bring in” the crowd’s love. But, whatever respect they were showing him after that cool move has now been replaced with hate, both for his cocky attitude and his hurting of Alix. Sean rolls Alix onto her stomach and hits her with a standing moonsault knee drop! The front of Sean’s knee is driven into the middle of Alix’s back! Her wails of torment can be picked up by the ringside microphones. The fans voice their annoyance with Sean Bryant as he once again tries to win them onto his side with his arrogant taunting. COLE Where does Sean Bryant come up with these moves? Does he think of them on the spot? Sean Bryant continues to show off, this time using a moonsault headbutt! T-Bod has seen enough hotdogging for one night and grumpily instructs Sean Bryant to make the tag to Mikey Tether. At first Bryant blows him off but T-Bod repeats the order in a tone that leaves no room for disobedience. With his head held low, Sean walks to his corner and tag in Mikey! COACH Earlier in the match, Mikey faired well against Alix’s partner Krista. And last night I fared well against both of them in bed! HOLLA~! Fresh as a daisy, Mikey leaps over the top the rope! Dried blood from Krista’s roll the dice has formed a nasty crust on the top edge of his upper lip. He spots Alix crawling to her corner and makes sure her goal of tagging out won’t be met when he drags her back to the center of the ring! Alix uses her free foot to kick him square in the jaw! The shot hurt but he still holds onto her leg! She stands up and tries to enziguri him but Mikey blocks her leg and she plummets to the ground like Enron Stock (lame joke I know). Mikey grabs hold of both her legs and slingshots her to the ropes, where Dan Black strikes her in the face with a abusively stiff elbow shot! Alix crumples like an old newspaper as she hits the ground hard! T-Bod showers praises on his chum, conveniently forgetting that it was Mikey who did all the hard work. COLE T-Bod has assumed sort of a leadership role for his team, but I don’t think anyone really respects him. Mikey brings Alix to her feet, but not before whacking her with a few well placed elbows to her back! He whips her into the ropes and tosses her high into the air with a backbody drop! She goes so high that you’d swear she’d be able to touch the scoreboards. The fans sit wowed as Alix rockets into the air! Time seems to come to a complete stand still as Alix hangs in the air what seems like an eternity. When she finally flips over, Mikey is right there to convert his backdrop into a ferocious sitout powerbomb! With Alix’s legs rested on his shoulder, Mikey sits stunned, unable to imagine how he pulled that move off. The fans explode with a mixture of cheers and jeers for this incredible and devastating maneuver! Eventually the boo-birds win out and they’re screaming and cussing shakes coupled with Alix’s anguished moans wake Mikey from his stupor. “COUNT THE PIN!” T-Bod shouts at Clem! Clem follows T-Bod’s orders. 1 2 3!!!! NO! KICK OUT! Amazing! Not the crowd, not Mikey Tether, not anyone in the entire arena can believe Alix kicked out of that move! The fans erupt with jubilant cheers for Alix’s resiliency! Mikey is a little less enthusiastic, but instead of getting another chance to put Alix away he’s forced to make a tag to Simon Singleton by T-Bod! COLE I’ll tell you what I was originally skeptical of what The Midnights could do in the tag team division, but they’ve really come into their own since arriving in the OAOAST. Simon Singleton casts haughty glances at Alix as he brings her to her feet. He holds her by the chin, and levels a number of mean spirited verbal jabs her way! As the cruelty of the insults increase at a disturbing rate, Alix’s hands start to shake. They continue to shake until she just can’t take any more! Feeling like she’s about to explode., she rears her hand back then smashes it right in Simon’s mouth! The viciousness behind the volley, causes Alix to chip Simon’s pearly whites, and the sharpness of his teeth leave little cuts on Alix’s knuckles. Simon trips backwards holding his hand to his mouth to soak up some of the fresh blood. Alix runs the ropes and bolts back with a flying forearm! WHAM! Her arm smashes into Simon’s forehead and he falls flat on his ass! Alix stands up and gruffly tells Simon to do the same. Unfortunately for Alix, she stood up a little to close to Dan Black. Black reaches over the ropes, grabs a hand full of her dark hair and destructively slams her body back to the mat! T-Bod pats his comrade on the back for a job well done! Over on the other corner, Scotty Static has entirely different opinion from T-Bod! He tries to enter the ring to smash his Midnight Express rival into tiny bits but ref Clem is right there to block him! “Blanchard! Go!” T-Bod barks out. At first Ned is reluctant, merely because he hates being bossed around by T-Bod. But after much prodding from the Bryants and Dan Black, he agrees to enter the battle field! COLE Alix getting pounded on! CABOOSE This ain’t the first time she’s been pounded by a gang of guys. Believe you me! HOLLER AT YOUR BOY! Ned Blanchard steps into the ring! Alix’s teammates and the fans in attendance start to scream at Clem to turn around! The old coot however thinks they’re saying “burn ground” so he starts to dig through a pockets for lighter in which to start a fire with. Ned thanks god that the OAOAST is an equal opportunity employer when it comes to age! Simon and Ned argue excitedly over what double team move to use. Ned fancies a double press slam, Simon wants a dropkick/spine buster combo. Simon wins out because his name starts with an S(?!). Figure that one out. COLE Why can’t we ever have any normal tag teams? Ned grabs Alix into a front waistlock, he then lifts her up and turns one eighty degrees! After he makes his turn, Simon hits her smack dab in the middle of the face with a dropkick! After his boots make the connection, Ned scores with a particularly nasty spinebuster! The former tag team champs trade appalling grins before Ned retreats his corner. Simon goes for a cover and Clem, who’s lighter was out of fluid, turns around to make the count at T-Bod’s request! 1 2 KICK OUT! An uneasiness sets over Simon as he sits shocked over Alix’s kick out. “There must be some mistake!” He says more to himself to anyone else. “I had her!”. It was a fluke Simon tells himself and just to prove it to the rest of the world he goes for what’s sure to be a match ending pin! 1 2 KICK OUT! The crowd, energized by Alix’s kickouts, breaks out into chants of “LET’S GO ALIX!”. A thundersturck Simon gets the call from T-Bod to make the tag to Alex Bryant! Stupefied over not being able to win the match, Simon slowly walks to his corner and tags in Alex Bryant! ‘LET’S GO ALIX! LET’S GO ALIX! LET’S GO ALIX! CABOOSE These fans love Alex Bryant! Listen to them! Alex Bryant is of the opinion that he needs to soften Alix up before he goes for an eventual submission or pinfall. He lifts her into the air and drops her back first across his knee! Despite the painful impact of the attack, Alix’s grits her teeth and tries to hold a persevering face in the midst of all this agony. The other Alex, is quick to continue his assault! He lifts Alix onto his right shoulders, making sure she faces upwards. The technical marvel firmly locks his arms around her thin waist, then drops to his knees and severely wrenches her back in the process! This time Alix has no choice but to yell out, the most primitive of her feelings winning out of her desire to appear tough. Satisfied that he’s done enough to get a pinfall, Alex pins Alix. 1 2 The pin is broken up by Max Anderson! Fuming like a child who just lost its favorite toy, Alex stands up and levels the good doctor with a spinning clothesline! This brings his sidekick, Stephen Pigley, into the ring! But Clem as usual is right there to cut him off. Good ol Clem! Where would this match be without your awful officiating? COLE I’m sorry but Clem sucks. It’s like he’s blind to half of the ring! Maybe he is, Cole! Because he doesn’t see Sean Bryant sneak in. The Bryants read each other’s minds like an open book and know the exact double team move that’s going to strike gold! Alex rolls Alix onto her stomach and is met with little resistance from her. Alex grabs his much smaller cousin into a rear waist lock, he then hits him with a belly to back suplex which Sean turns into a MOONSAULT SPLASH onto Alix’s back! Sean scampers out of the ring and Alex goes for the pin. And like always, Clem turns around just in time (or just to late depending on who’s side your on) 1 2 KICK OUT! The crowd applauds for the pinfal kickoutl, but they’ve pretty much accepted the fact that T-Bod’s makeshift gang of cronies is going to pick up the victory tonight. Alex doesn’t intended on setting their minds at ease! The technical marvel lifts Alix onto his back and sets her upper back across his shoulders. He then sets her legs around his hips. He then grab a chinlock on Alix and starts to apply a massive amount of pressure on Alix’s back by leaning forward! CABOOSE That’s called a Gory Lock or a Back to back back breaker rack! COACH Oh no, Boo-Boo! Alex continues to apply pressure on Alix’s back! The fans along with her teammates not named Jingus, Sadist or Tiffany, plead for her to be strong and not to tap out. Sweat starts to rocket off Alex’s face as he exerts great deal of his strength to get Alix to tap out. He bites down his teeth and nearly grinds them into dust as he increases the pressure on his Gory Lock. Alix closes her eyes and tries to use an old meditation trick where you pretend you’re someplace peaceful and perfect. It works for a few seconds, but then she’s snapped back to reality when Alex further jacks up the pressure on his hold! “TAAAAAAAAAAAAP!” Alex screams, his face now burning a fiery red. Alix’s entire body, not just her back, starts to ache with a hellish pain. The fans sing out her name and are able to drown out Alex’s orders for submission. His visage is now entirely drenched in sweat and the same liquid starts to form on the middle of his palms. He panics when his grip is loosened by the sweat from both their bodies and he struggles to keep her in the hold. “TAAAAAP!” He repeats, his two hundred pound body is working overtime to match the redness of his face. Alix lets out something in between a war cry and plea for help as the agony from the hold rips through her body like an earthquake! The volcanic tremors move through her and converge on each other, exploding into tormenting blasts that nearly destroy her body. Alix continues to holler and the more sympathetic fans start to feel the pain of her situation in their own backs. No one but the man himself seems to realize that Alex’s grip is rapidly deteriorating. Her tortured screams come to a sudden end when Alex breaks the hold! CABOOSE Wow! I can’t believe she survived the gory lock! Like Simon before him, Alex is at a loss to explain how he didn’t get a submission. A bewildered look starts to take shape in his eyes. The normally calm and collected Canadian boy, begins to tear at his meticulously gelled hair! His eyebrows sharpy arch upward and his nose starts to flare at a disturbing pace! Getting the feeling that Alex is about to crack up, T-Bod commands him to tag in Dan Black! On the outside, Jivin JR jumps around like a kid in a candy store now that his meal ticket has entered the match. Black’s arrival into the match is not met with the warmest of receptions from the audience. They try to boo him out of the building but Black intends on doing what Simon and Alex couldn’t. Winning this match. Black stalks Alix and sizes her up. He then lowers his knee pad, exposing his bare knee. Then he rushes forward and hits a knee drop onto her back! Black calmly rolls her over and goes for a pin. 1 2 KICK OUT! “No problem”, Black remarks. Remaining as cool as ice water, Black grabs her by the hair and leads her to his feet. Over in his corner Black’s running buddy, T-Bod tells the younger wrestlers to watch the master perfect his craft. The crowd gets on Black’s case with a number of derogatory slurs, but he’s able to shut them out of his mind and focus on the task at hand. Black works Alix over with a number of stiff elbows to her upper back! Each shot is greeted by a soft whimper from Alix. Black stands behind Alix and bends her over, he lifts her up for the makings of a pumphandle slam but instead of dropping her onto the mat, he slams her onto his exposed knee! The attack seems to do damage to Black as well as Alix and Dan gets up favoring the leg Alix didn’t hit. COACH Dan looks hurt! Jim Ross asks his free ride if he’s okay and Dan responds with a curt “Yes.” It’s fairly obvious that he’s not and that the force of Alix’s back crashing into his knee has left him in pain. Black hobbles around the ring, trying to work the kinks out of his leg. Finally he goes back to Alix and pins her. 1 2 KICK OUT! Black brushes the sweat out of his eyes and shoots a perturbed glare at good ol Clem! Black seems to have forgotten that Clem has shown heavy favoritism to his team. Again he goes for a pin. 1 2 KICK OUT! Black yanks Alix to her feet, silently muttering under his breath. He propels her into the ropes and when she comes back he tries to knock her block off with a clothesline! BUT Alix steps to the side and hook’s Black’s attacking arm! She swings behind him and shifts her body so that her back is touching his! She lets go of his arm and hooks the other one, from there she spins herself and him around so that they’re facing each other! Before Black knows what’s going on Alix hits a dragon screw to his bad leg! Black stands up clutching his leg and grimacing in distress. He’s left completely defenseless and Alix charges forward and nails him with a Mona Lisa Smile! The hitting of her finisher elicits a monstrous pop from the wild fans! The majority of Alix’s teammates look on and say silently prayers that this will be the deciding pinfall. 1 2 THE PIN IS BROKEN UP BY SEAN BRYANT! Sean Bryant lifts Alix up, stuffs her between his legs and lays waste to her with a sunset flip piledriver or as he calls it “The Death Party”!! At that moment, hell decides it feels like breaking loose. Logan Mann, Krista Isdora Duncan and Scotty Static rush into the ring, trampling poor Clem in the process! The situation in the ring turns to one of uncontrollable chaos and the cocky expression Sean Bryant usually wears has been replaced by one of helpless fear! He yells out for assistance and its Alex Bryant, T-Bod, and Frankie Frankensteiner who answer the call. Alex and Logan meet first and toss wild haymakers at each other! The fan’s voices are nothing but a jumbled mess as they can’t seem to agree on who to cheer and who to boo! Alex and Sean Bryant get the upper hand on Logan Mann! They lift him up for a double suplex and end up dropping him right out of the ring! Tiffany’s kindness gets the better of him and he rushes into the ring to defend his partner’s honor! Alex and Sean are easily able to over power him and they take him into the air to give him the same treatment Logan just got! Same treatment, different result as Doctor Pigley comes from out of no where and chop blocks them both! Tiffany falls to the mat a lot more gently then he would’ve from a double suplex! Sean scurries away, leaving Alex to deal with both Tiffany and Pigley! Tiffany grabs a hold of Alex’s legs and slingshots him into Pigley who puts his lights out with a DDT~! Pigley turns his attention to Sean Bryant who’s trying to leave the ring! Pigley is not going to let Bryant take the easy way out! He charges at him for a shoulder block, but Bryant ducks down and Pigley goes sailing over the top rope! COLE This looks like how we started the match! Bryant does some breakdancing moves much to chagrin of the fans! When he realizes the crowd ain’t feelin his flow, Sean jumps onto the top rope to hit another one of his high risk attacks! We’ll never know just what he was planning as Tiffany Ruutu runs over to the ropes and pushes Bryant to the outside! Bryant goes flying off the top rope! Incapable of bracing himself for the fall he lands face first onto the announce table! The sound of his youthful face slamming against the table echoes throughout the arena and slices through the air like sharpened knife! His head snaps back like a ball bounced on a basketball court and he falls to mat lifeless! The fans in the front row along with Tiffany mock him without mercy! JIVIN JR BAH GAWD! BAH GAWD! GOD HAVE MERCY ON OUR OAOAST SOOOOOULS! COLE Get out of here, you old coot! Nate Tether comes from out of nowhere and hammers Tiffany with a clothesline! Tiffany tumbles over the ropes, but lands on the ring apron! Nate hooks him into a front face lock, but Tiffany counters by thumbing him in the eye! Whatever works! Tiffany wants a sunset flip, but before he can do anything, Frank Frankensteiner pulls him off the ring arpon! Tiffany lands on his feet then lands on his ass when Frank hits him with MUTHAFUCKING FRANKENSTEINERLINE! CABOOSE What a move! Both Muses are down! Sadist is drawn off the apron, he immediately targets Frank as the victim of his next rampage! Sadist runs over and the two start a wild brawl! Colossal blows are exchanged like currency as neither man seems willing to go down! Eventually its Sadist who gains supremacy when the demonic behemoth wraps his massive hand around Franks muscular neck! He lifts him up for what could be a KILLER chokeslam! OFF THE TOP ROPE MISSILE DROPKICK BY NATE TETHER right into Sadists back! The hellhound grunts then falls forward with Frank’s neck and fate in his hand! Both men crash through the announce table, shattering it into pieces! “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!” COACH An announce table can be replaced but can Frank’s spine?! Back in the ring, Frankie is holding Krista’s arms behind her back and waiting for Ned Blanchard to hurry up and pull off this double team move. “Come on!” Frankie whines! “Still your tongue, knave!” Ned shoots back. He seems too busy staring at himself in a compact mirror to notice that Krista is speedily coming to! “Hurry!” Frankie moans! “Fine!” Ned caves in and tries to rearrange Krista’s face with a super kick! He’s half successful as he does manage to rearrange someone’s face. Only its Frankie and not Krista! Krista ducked out of the way at the last possible second! “You missed.” Krista remarks cooly At first Ned was upset but then he realized that it was only Frankie Frankensteiner and he stopped giving a fuck. Ned calls on his tag team partner, Simon Singleton and the two corner Krista. Krista fights her way past Ned by side stepping a turnbuckle clothesline and smashing his head against said turnbuckle! But Simon captures her with a German Suplex! Krista is able to flip out of the move and land on her feet! She charges at Simon with a body splash! But Simon moves of the way! The problem is that while he may have avoided the body splash, Ned didn’t! Ned staggers out of the corner, then comically tumbles through the ropes and out onto the floor. “I suggest you duck.” Krista informs Simon matter of factly. Simon wants to ask what for, but the answer comes before the question when Krista smacks him in the face with spinning back kick! The strike knocks Simon’s head sideways and spit flies from his mouth! He falls to the mat and then rolls underneath the ropes, clutching his hurt face! Krista has little time to celebrate as Mikey Tether grabs a hold of her legs and dumps her over the ropes to join Ned and Simon! COLE Hello! Can someone come out here and restore order? Elsewhere on the outside, Jingus is engaged in a brutal slug fest with both members of GPX! Two men who happen to be on his team for this match! Jingus grabs them both by the throats and it looks like he may finish them off once and for all! But Scotty and Johnny counter with a double low blow! “GPX! GPX! GPX!” Johnny and Scotty high five each other in celebration but notice that Jingus hasn’t gone down! They remedy this problem when they double clothesline him over the steel barricade and into the stands! The fans, who don’t want to be anywhere near the Devilman, nearly trip over one another trying to get away. Those that are at a safe distance away from the striking abnormality hurl beer cups and peanuts at him! CABOOSE Damn those punks! COACH I know, wasting good peanuts like that. The champs turn their attention back towards the ring and are met with an off the top rope moonsault suicida by Nate Tether! Scotty and Johnny spread apart and Nate lands stomach first onto the outside mats! “HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!” Scotty and Johnny come together and laugh over Nate’s misfortune. As they say however, what goes around comes around and Mikey Tether nails both Scotty and Johnny with a somersault body press with a twist suicida! “OAO! OAO! OAO! OAO! COLE Everyone is crazy! Back in the ring, Max Anderson and T-Bod have been duking it out like the Gladiators of old! T-Bod goes for a hammer lock body slam but Max blocks the move by basically making his body dead weight! Frustrated T-Bod fires a clothesline at the good doctor! Max ducks underneath T-Bod’s arm and winds up behind him! Instead of going for a pump handle slam or a cobra clutch, Max pantses T-Bod. That’s right, he yanks down T-Bod’s tights exposing an unsightly zebra print thong to the world! At that point the entire arena breaks out into a chorus of laughter! It takes a moment for T-Bod to realize just what has happened to him. He stares blankly into space, then looks down and see’s his pants around his ankles and a mound of toilet tissue sticking out from the side of his thong. It’s the ultimate humiliation for the self proclaimed coolest man in wrestling! T-Bod has zero chance to get revenge because Max dropkicks him out of the ring! His embarrassing night comes to a close with the crowd chanting “SHAVE YOUR ASS!” to him. COLE Good lord. Someone tell T-Bod about the miracles of Nair! FULL NELSON SLAM! Dan Black came from god knows where and hit Max Anderson with a full nelson slam! The Doctor’s office has been closed! Max sluggishly rolls out of the ring! We now come full circle. Kind of. The only two people left standing are the two legal ones, Alix Spezia and Dan Black. The fans are firm in their support of Alix and their disgust for the former IZ GM! Alix leaps onto Black’s shoulders! She rolls forwards and brings him down with a victory roll! CROWD 1 CROWD 2 KICK OUT! It’s more of a “flip out” and Black springs to his feet! Alix meets him and they engage in a chop battle! Each flesh searing attack gets a “WHOO” from the standing fans! Dan Black gains the advantage with a thumb to the eye! He bends her over and gets her into an underhook! “PITCH BLACK!” Dan hollers out! CABOOSE You’re dead now little girl! It probably wasn’t the best idea to telegraph the move as Alix wildly flails against his grasp! Black continues to fight to lift her up, but her jerky body movements won’t let him! He breaks the hold and quickly spins her around! He hooks her into an inverted face lock! Again she thrashes against his hold and again Black spins her around! But at the same time, his grip is loosened and she ends up slipping behind him! His offensive advantage is taken away and she floors him with an inverted DDT~! Alix goes for a pin! The new ref, Clem Jr makes the count! CROWD 1 CROWD 2 KICK OUT! “THAT WAS THREE! THAT WAS THREE! THAT WAS THREE!” Both competitors stand up. Alix tosses out a punch masquerading as a knife edge chop! Black ducks it and goes behind her! He spreads her arms apart, then sweeps out her right leg and they both drop forward to the mat! Now it’s Black’s turn for a pin! 1 2 KICK OUT!!! Jivin JR tries to start up a “That was Three” chant but no one’s buying what he’s selling. Alix tries to scramble away from Black as the Englishmen furiously tries to lock her into the Heart of Ice (Crippler Crossface)! Alix frantically whips her neck around, preventing Black from getting any sort of lock on her head. She pulls her arm free and rolls onto her back! Black pounces on her and tries to drive fist into her face! But she moves her head away and his hand eats the mat! COLE The Ice Heart’s looking a tad flustered! Black stays with Alix and gets her into a chin lock! Back pulls back on Alix’s chin, but she stays strong! He pulls back harder but she refuses to give in! They both stand up with the hold still locked in. Black spins her into a front face lock. She fights against his grasp and is able to push him into the ropes despite him still having a grip on her head! Alix grabs onto the second rope and Clem Jr forces Black to break the hold. Black barks a “No” at Clem Jr, but the youthful (compared to his dad) referee threatens Black with a DQ! Black begrudgingly lets Alix go free. When she’s far enough away, Black darts at her with a lariat! Alix wisely counters it into one of Black’s favorite moves, the STO~! Black rolls around on the mat, clutching his back. Alix starts to nod her head, then flashes her trademark peace sign! With the Ice Heart stretched out on the mat, she runs to the ropes and flies back with a LIONSAULT~! Dan Black moves! But Alix lands on her feet! COACH Stalemate! Black stands up and meets Alix with a leaping side kick! The pain that Black felt in his leg earlier in the match, starts to slowly make its return. Black realizes that he has to end this match RIGHT NOW! He brings Alix up, boots her in the stomach and goes for the BLACKOUT! NO! Alix slips out of Black’s hold and shoves him into the ropes! She runs the ropes herself and the two have a potentially match making meeting in the center of the ring! Alix leaps behind Dan Black for a MONA LISA SMILE! THE MOVE HITS! GIGANTIC AMAZING POP FROM THE CROWD! Alix goes for the pin! CROWD 1 CROWD 2 CROWD 3!!!!!!!! NO I LIED! BLACK KICKED OUT! Alix sits with her hands to her head, her mouth agape and wonders how Dan Black kicked out of her finishing move. She looks around but there’s no one to give her the answer she seeks. CABOOSE What resiliency by my country man, Dan Black! You do us all proud! The last pinfall caused Jim Ross to chew a hole in his hat, he was so nervous! Black’s demeanor stays colder then a glacier. Alix lets him stand up on his own free will. That proves to be somewhat of a mistake as unrestrained Black is able to take her over with a fireman’s carry! She immediately stands up and that’s when he grounds her with a FALCON ARROW! Pin attempt by Black! 1 2 KICK OUT!!!!! On the outside Jivin JR jumps up and down and proclaims that his man is being cheated! Dan Black chooses not to play the blame game and instead whips Alix into the ropes! On the rebound he hits her with a belly to belly suplex! BUT Alix lands on her feet! She leaps onto the second rope and springboards back with a spinning front kick to Dan Black’s face! At the last second, the London native gets his hand in front of his face to block the shot! COACH That kick could’ve ended this match right there! JR looks like’s he about to fall out! Alix goes for what looks to be Northern Lights suplex, but Dan is wise to her tricks! He drops a series of axe handle smashes onto her injured back until she finally lets him go free! Dan hooks her into a front face lock, then not so gently sets her onto the top rope! The man once known as Mystery Eskimo turns his body away from her and prepares to hit her with a top rope reverse crucifix powerbomb! Alix jerks her arms away from him! Black’s not totally sure what just happened and can’t stop Alix getting him into an inverted face lock! Black is helpless to stop Alix as she NAILS him with a TORNADO INVERTED DDT!!!!! Again Alix goes for a pin! CROWD 1 CROWD 2 KICK OUT!!!!!!! “BOOOOOOOO!” Alix doesn’t let her frustration get the better of her. Instead she climbs to the top rope and readies herself to hit a shooting star press! But JR leaps onto the ring apron and grabs a hold of her foot! Alix tries to pull her boot away from JR but he latches onto her like a lost puppy! Even going so far as to lick her bare leg! Eventually Clem jr pulls Jim Ross away from a frightened and perturbed Alix! But by then its too late, JR’s mission of buying time for Dan Black has been a smashing success! Black stuns Alix on the top rope with disgusting vicious knife edge chop! Alix’s body rocks backwards and for a second it looks like she might tumble off the top rope! Dan scales to the top and gets her into the set up for the vertical suplex! He plants his feet on the top turnbuckle and forces her to do the same! If the crowd wasn’t already on their feet, they sure would be now! Black lifts Alix sky high and then falls backwards with a high impact superplex! BUT in mid air Alix reverses it into an inside cradle! Of course this draws an incredibly positive reaction from the fans! CROWD 1 CROWD 2 Undetected, T-Bod slips into the ring and pushes Alix over so that she’s the one being pinned and not the one doing the pin! Dan Black hooks her tights, which Clem Jr also doesn’t see! 1 2 3!!!!! Seriously. That really was three! “Quiet” booms across the arena as Jivin JR celebrates like the Sooners just won the national championship! Alix stares disgustedly into space then turns her rage to The Ice Heart! She lunges for him and manages to slash his face with her finger nail! Before she can do any further damage JR and T-Bod pull Dan Black out of the ring! BUFFER You’re winner the team of Black T, The New New Midnight Express, The Tether Brothers, The Bryants and The Frankensteiners! CABOOSE What did I tell you? Dan Black is the man! When everyone else failed to take Alix out, he got the job done without breaking a sweat! The arena is bathed with venom from the crowd’s anger at the result! They can barely contain their anger and litter the ring with soda cans and souvenir programs. None of it really matters to Black T. They triumphantly march up the entrance ramp feeling that they’ve proven themselves to be the best team in the tag division. *COMMERCIAL BREAK* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 The camera cuts to Josh Matthews, chasing down Gunner Sharps in the back. J-MATH Gunner, Gunner, a word please! Gunner turns around, a towel around his neck, visibly tired from his Triple Threat win earlier tonight, belt over his shoulder. GUNNER A quick one Josh, I gotta shower. J-MATH First of all, congratulations on your big win in the Triple Threat match earlier tonight. What do you think of this Australian show so far? GUNNER Thanks Josh, it was damn sure one of the hardest matches I’ve fought in. As for the show, it looks great, top to bottom. J-MATH How about the Road to the Elimination Chamber Tournament? Your thoughts on the task ahead? GUNNER Well there are 5 other guys in the tournament that are all worthy of being in the Elimination Chamber, but none of them, Josh, are over seven feet tall, and none of them are over three hundred and fifty pounds. J-MATH Very true, you have the size and strength advantage over all other opponents. Just one final question though Gunner, if I may. Apart from the Board of Directors and Axel, you are the only person that knows the identity of Axel’s Dream Tag Team Partner tonight. Any hints? Gunner smiles, and sighs a deep breath. GUNNER Let’s just say Zack and Calvin are in for a smokin' good time. Interview over. Gunner starts to walk off, leaving Josh Matthews to ponder his clue, as we fade out to… *Battle Royal goes Here* *COMMERCIAL BREAK* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 COLE Welcome back to HeldDOWN~!, LIVE from Australia! COACH What town, Cole? COLE Who cares, it's a foreign country...in America, they're all the same town. COACH Um...you just said that out loud. COLE Oh (bleep)...well anyway, it's time for our World Heavyweight Title match, as Sly Sommers is getting ready to do battle with someone who he's been able to call just about his only ally here in the company since Totally Endorsed disbanded back in the spring, in Crystal. COACH Sly won a four-way contenders match a couple of weeks back to earn this title shot, but due to a dastardly attack by Drek Stone last week, was not able to pick up on that voucher just then. COLE Crystal kept her title shot commitment for that week, defeating Drek Stone soundly. But, being the fighting champion she is, she's not hiding behind her 30-day clause. In fact, just this past Friday night, the last house show in the States before we took off, she beat Alex Bryant in Evansville, Indiana in a technically sound bout. COACH Speaking of outside-HeldDOWN~! commitments, we are to let you know that Sly Sommers, alongside the recently-reactivated Gibraltar, who's been sidelined with a knee injury, will be heading to the Orient right after Dirty Deeds for a two-week tour of the HI-YAH promotion, where the All-American Boys won their international tag titles not that long ago. If Sly wins the belt tonight, we could have the potential to see our World Title defended in Japan, no doubt a huge honor. Either way, we will have footage of Sly and Gibraltar in HI-YAH, including unclipped, full coverage of the signed Sommers versus Rake Hayataka HI-YAH Global Crown Title match set for September 30th, which we should be able to air via tape delay on HeldDOWN~! the week after Dirty Deeds. COACH To actually earn my paycheck here and be an analyst, I see Crystal going after Sly's legs for two reasons. One of which is the obvious: softening him up for the Crystalling, her Sharpshooter/Liontamer combination submission hold. But the other is maybe not so obvious, that being that last week, Drek Stone seemed to focus on taking out Sly's legs when he jumped him at the beginning of the program. I know they're friends and all, but in a big title match, you have to go after EVERY weakness possible. COLE I could maybe see her switching body parts, seeing as if she wasn't as successful with that as Sly was working over her neck in their previous match a few weeks back, plus Sly would be seeing it coming. COACH True, but in matches like this, you sometimes have to have a certain comfort level, and I believe that Crystal's most comfortable in the ring when working over an opponent's legs. With Sly, I see him staying with the neckwork, since just about all of his finishers revolve around the neck, plus there are plenty of neck-based moves that also wear down the opponent, and when your opponent's as small and quick as the "Female Phenom" is, you sometimes have to resort to those holds often. COLE Good points, Coachman. Without any further ado, let's go to the ring for our World Title contest! "Gimme Back My Bullets" starts up, and Sly Sommers comes out to a good ovation, though you can hear a faint booing behind the cheering. Sly paces down to the ring focused, and only slaps hands with a few of the fans before entering the squared circle. COACH I really doubt the boos are as much people hating Sly as they are people who love Crystal. This match REALLY has fans split right down the middle. "Set It Off' plays, and Crystal comes out to a really loud ovation, so much so that the Sly supporters get drowned out in the background. She adjusts the athletic tape on her wrists before, much like Sly, pacing to the ring and only slapping hands with a couple of people. COLE You can see how seriously each competitor is taking this contest, after how close their match about a month ago was, plus the added implications of this being a World Title match. BUFFER The following contest is set for one fall with a one-hour time limit, and is for the OAOAST Heavyweight Championship of the WOOOOOOOOOOOORLD! Are you ready? (cheers) I said, ARE YOU READY?!?!?! (louder cheers) Then, for the thousands of Aussies in attendance, and the millions of normal people watching around the world...LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLEEEEE! POP~! BUFFER Introducing first, the challenger...he comes to us tonight awaiting his first tour of Japan, coming up in a couple of weeks. He was a finalist in the 2003 OAOAST Super X Cup tournament, as well as a former OAOAST X Champion. Formerly from Bayside, California, he recently relocated to Chippawa, Michigan. Weighing in as of this afternoon at 197 1/4 pounds...he is Sly Sommers! *applause* BUFFER And his opponent...she defeated Zack Malibu in an epic Submit or Surrender match to win her first World Title on August 29, 2004. She has broken almost every barrier a female in this company could possibly break, and now reigns supreme atop the OAOAST as its in-ring leader. Ladies and gentlemen, weighing in this afternoon at 137 1/2 pounds, she hails from Coquitlam, British Columbia...she is the "Female Phenom" CRRRRRYSSSTALLLL! *bell rings* Both competitors come to center-ring, and shake hands in a show of respect. They circle around the center of the ring before both competitors stick their hands out, and slowly lock them together, Sly even reaching over and resetting his fingers on the other hand into position. Crystal sticks her other hand out, and Sly locks onto it slowly as well, as they come together shoulder-to-shoulder for a Greco-Roman knucklelock. Sly uses his added mass to power Crystal over, as she bridges back with the top of her head touching the mat. COLE Nice display of flexibility there by the champ. She powers her way back to a standing position as their hands stay locked together. Sly powers her over again, and she bridges once again. She tries powering up but can't due to Sly holding her down, so she rolls back and kips up to her feet, keeping ahold of Sly's hands and staying in the Greco-Roman knucklelock. Sly powers her over yet again, and she goes into a bridge. He again holds her down so she can't power out, so she goes for the kip-up. But, Sly steps in her way and she goes right back down. So, she rolls all of the way back and onto her feet. COACH Inventive counter, I must say. While doing that, she was able to slip one of her hands out of the Greco-Roman knucklelock, and uses it to put Sly in a wristlock with the other hand. Sly grunts in pain before doing a rolling kip-up. That doesn't help him escape, so he does it again. Again, the rolling kip-up cannot help him escape, so he does it for a third time, and sees that he's confused Crystal in the process. So, he takes advantage and scores with a legsweep. Sly then hops to her head and locks in a side headlock on the ground. COLE I can't predict the future, but I think Sly's already starting the basis of his attack against Crystal here, softening up her neck like the previous match, and wearing down his smaller opponent. Crystal goes for the usual headscissors escape of the grounded side headlock, but Sly shoves her leg away from his head twice, as he saw it coming. So, she goes for a rather unorthodox reversal, grabbing his near arm with her arms and hooking the far arm with her legs to bring Sly over into a crucifix pin. But instead of going for the immediate pin, she rolls him all of the way through and goes into a front facelock. COACH Sly showed some great awareness by seeing the generic headscissors escape coming, but Crystal's a student of the game, and knew how to innovate while making it actually work. She hooks his leg as both are kneeling on the mat with the front facelock applied. She tries coming to her feet a little too quickly, and Sly takes advantage by scoring with another legsweep and rolling all the way through with it to escape the leghook as well. Sly jumps from behind as Crystal quickly sits up, and locks in a rear waistlock. She tries to pull his hands apart, but he keeps them together. So, she tries rolling around on the mat and moving around as quickly as possible to escape. Sommers is able to keep up with her and keeps the waistlock applied. COLE This is a struggle if I've ever seen one! Sly then powers Crystal into the referee's position (amateur term for one competitor on top of another as the second competitor's on all fours). He hooks her near leg and neck as he rolls through to go for a ball-and-chain cradle, but Crystal escapes by rolling all of the way out, and hooks Sly from behind to hold him in the referee's position! She hooks onto Sly's waist as tight as possible, then rolls to her right side and bridges for a pinning predicament, but only gets a one-count before Sly escapes. COACH Yeah, I don't think you're going to get a pin this early in a match like this. Crystal quickly pops up and gets Sly back down into the referee's position. She then hooks his leg and stands up to go for a half-crab, but Sly knows what's coming, so he twists himself around and shoves her down with his free leg. Sly rolls into a crawling position and hops over to lock Crystal into a front facelock. Sly slowly rises with it, making sure not to leave any openings for Crystal to escape. But, as Sly gets to his feet, he gets a bit lazy with his positioning, leaving his leg open to be hooked and pulled by Crystal as he goes down. COLE That shows that even the tiniest mistake can, and will come back to bite you in the ass. Sly holds the leg that Crystal doesn't have ahold of and rubs it for a second, which causes Crystal to go after it. But, it's all a trick, as Sly ends up bringing Crystal over with a monkey flip. COACH That's some smart possum-playing right there. Both competitors come up off of the mat to a loud roar of clapping from the crowd. Crystal even applauds Sly's smart move there, showing the respect that these athletes have for each other. Both competitors rise to their feet, as the dueling "Let's Go..." chants from their first encounter on HeldDOWN~! start up again. They lock hands at a quicker pace than the opening of the contest and go into another Greco-Roman knucklelock. They go shoulder-to-shoulder and struggle in pace, neither competitor being able to take the other over. COLE Someone should take a still photo of this and put it up somewhere if this match reaches the status of being worthy of chronicling in the future, as this is a perfect example of how even off these two are. They continue to struggle until Crystal pulls her hands out and dives at Sly's legs, obviously wanting to go after his legs for her finisher. But, Sly drops down and locks her in a front facelock to contain her before she can get his legs. Sly grabs ahold of her arm with his far arm while keeping ahold of the front facelock. He twists around on the mat and lets go of the front facelock to lock in a grounded wristlock. He slowly rises with it, as she comes up with him. When both competitors are on their feet fully, Crystal tries to roll out of the wristlock. But, Sly saw it coming and grabs her legs to roll her back. COACH She tried a trick out of Sly's playbook from just a couple of minutes ago, and since he had just performed that tactic out of a wristlock, he knew EXACTLY what she was doing. Crystal comes back to her feet and reaches outward, grabbing the top rope. But before the referee can enforce a rope break, she uses the top rope to do a backflip-like roll in mid-air. But, her fancy escape tactic ends up with Sly being able to use the time to think one step ahead, as he gives her an armdrag and goes into a grounded armdrag. COLE I don't know what's up here, as usually Crystal's the aggressor in her matches. That was way too flashy for someone whose reversals aren't exactly up to snuff so far. COACH Am I the only one that's noticed that Sly might be converting to an arm-based offense? Very smart plan, as he seems to be not only surprising Crystal with the body part of focus, but is setting up her arm to be trapped very easily for the arm-trap portion of the Cravateface and the straitjacket piledriver known as the Slyledriver. Sly cranks back on the arm, trying to weaken it down as much as possible. Crystal rolls back a bit and tries to hook her legs around Sly's neck for a headscissors. But, he ends up abandoning the armbar and hooks her arms underneath his armpits, leaning down for a cradle pin... 1... Kickout. Sly grabs onto the arm for more armbar action, but Crystal leans back a bit and kips up. Sly comes up to his feet as she kips up. She then uses Sly's armbar against him, pulling herself upward and bringing Sly over with a horizontal headscissors takeover. She keeps ahold of the headscissors and tightens them up on the mat. Sly suffers for a few seconds before slowly turning himself to a front position, with his entire body completely in front of Crystal. He then does a headstand while in the headscissors and pushes himself into a kip-up using his hands, falling into position for a side headlock on the mat, which he then applies. COLE Some classic stylings from Johnny Saint, a legend of British wrestling. Crystal reaches for, and grabs Sly's inside leg before turning over and putting him in position for a side cradle pin that only gets a one-count before Sly goes back into side headlock position. She takes a few seconds before trying it again, and barely getting a two-count out of it. But this time, she turns him over onto his stomach when he goes to go back to the headlock, wraps her legs around his, and hooks his foot under her arm to apply a legbar. COACH She's going right back after that leg here; very effective hold in the legbar. Crystal switches her grip on the upper half of Sly's leg during the legbar, abandoning the regular grip to twist his ankle instead. Sly tries to bridge upward, but Crystal shoves his stomach back down with her foot. He tries it again, and the same thing happens. He bridges up again, but when she goes to push him down with her foot, he shoves her foot aside. He then reaches up and re-manuevers her leg off of his before yanking with all of his power to escape the legbar. COLE That wasn't too fancy, but it worked. Both competitors get to their feet, as Crystal gives Sly time to shake out his leg in an act of sportsmanship. Both competitors come to center-ring and engage in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Sly wins by applying a side headlock and quickly converting to a reverse hammerlock. Sly then slides past her arm and converts to a cravate. Crystal quickly slips out and jumps to the ropes. COACH Now Sly's getting a bit too flashy... Crystal shakes herself off before her and Sly go into another collar-and-elbow tie-up. Crystal drops down to one knee and pushes up, getting the leverage to power Sly into a corner. She gives him a clean break, but when he sticks his hand out for a respectful handshake, she doesn't shake it. COLE What was that? COACH It looked like she mouthed "just wrestle" to him from here... She backs into the center of the ring, and Sly follows her there, as they go into another collar-and-elbow tie-up. Sly overzealously tries for a headlock, but Crystal slips herself out and pulls Sly's legs out from under him, sending him down to the mat stomach-first. She hooks his leg around hers and locks in a stepover toe-hold (the leg portion of an STF). But, before she can crank it in too much, Sly pulls his leg out and crawls to the ropes. COLE I remember that move being heavily effective in their match a few weeks back; I know Sly studied the tape of that match and saw that move coming. Sly rubs his knee before coming back up to his feet. They extend all of their arms at once and go into an even-quicker-than-before Greco-Roman knucklelock. Sly tries powering her over, but she ends up hooking her ankle around his and making him bridge back. But, his leg gives out and he falls flat-back onto the mat. Crystal keeps ahold of Sly's hands and does a quasi-headstand before floating backwards onto her knees, but falls right into a bodyscissors from Sly. COACH Sly seems to be going back to the European stylings that he's studied on tape a lot in the past for his defense. Sly tries keeping ahold of her hands so she can't fight back, but she pulls them away. She starts pushing down on the side of the knee of Sly's that she's targetting, trying to punish Sly while he's attempting to squeeze the breath out of her. She uses the other hand to stick out and make sure he can't lock in a cravate, another signature part of this European tactic. She shoves Sly down and starts to wrench on Sly's knee with both hands, going a different direction with each, until the pain makes him let go of the bodyscissors. COLE It looks like Crystal's plan is starting to take effect. She keeps ahold of his leg while escaping and rising to her feet, and goes to a standing ankle twist. Sly turns over to perform the "push on knee and pull in" European-style reversal, but she steps on his other foot to keep him for performing that. She cranks on his ankle for another five or six seconds before he slips his foot out and rolls forward, escaping the hold and flips Crystal over with the momentum at the same time. Both competitors come up and he pushes her head downward to go for a twist into a Oklahoma roll, but she saw the sequence coming and performs another legsweep from behind before locking in a painful reverse spinning toe hold. COACH The first couple were impressive, but it seems like Crystal's been at least studying Sly's matches, if not the same European stuff he studies, to know every sequence and tactic of the style, and how to fight against it. Sly slowly comes up on one foot after she finishes spinning around and is just cranking on it. He hops in place before tripping Crystal with his hand and causing her to fall chest-first to the mat. Sly keeps his leg hooked around hers and tries for an STF, but she gets to the ropes before anything can be done. He lets her get to her feet and backs off, before they meet again center-ring for a collar-and-elbow tie-up. Sly drops down and nails a fireman's carry takedown, then going right into a rear chinlock. COLE That's about as basic as it gets, folks. Crystal rises up to her feet while in the hold and squeezes her head out. She keeps ahold of Sly's arm, which she grabbed ahold of for leverage, and pulls him in for a short-arm drop toe hold. She keeps Sly's leg in that position and bends the leg to hurt it even more. Sly screams in pain for a few seconds before coming up on one foot and seperating her legs with his hands to get his leg out. He reaches down and locks her arms for a butterfly lock as she's seated on the mat. COACH Though he's got her arms hooked, he's actually working over the neck, as he's pulling the shoulders away and pushing down on it. Crystal repositions her legs on the mat and goes into a kneeling position before rising to her feet. But before she can escape it, Sly tries bringing her over with a bridging butterfly suplex. But, his knee starts acting up, so he can't come back with it. He forearms her in the back twice and goes for it again, but again his leg won't allow him to. So, he shoves her down to the mat and tries walking it off. Crystal gets up and Sly comes to the center of the ring, as they engage in another collar-and-elbow tie-up. Crystal goes for a slam out of that, but as she tries dropping him to the mat, he hooks onto her head and brings her over with a cravate. COLE Sly is like a demon with that cravate. Sly pulls Crystal to her feet with the cravate neck crank, but she grabs his arm and manuevers it down to escape before going into a wristlock. Sly grabs onto her hand with his free arm, and pulls her in for a headlock to escape. He brings her over with a headlock takeover, but she performs three tiny kip-up-type things, and gets out. COACH These two need to stop being so even. It's confusing. Both competitors come up and go into a Greco-Roman knucklelock. But as soon as they lock their first hands together, Sly walks around Crystal, hooks the other arm around her neck, and tries to force her down into a straitjacket submission. But, she won't go down. So, he lets go of the far arm, goes to her side, and hits a Russian legsweep that he then transitions into a grounded Octopus hold. COLE Smart move, floating right into a hold that punishes both of the targets so far. Crystal screams in pain as Sly cranks the hold down even worse before she's able to squeeze her free hand in and push his leg far enough upward to get her head and arm out before rolling over a bit and sticking her leg in there. She then crosses his legs and goes for a Figure Four leglock. But, Sly turns over while it's being applied. Their legs stay crossed together however. So, they both go into leg-connected dueling headstands. After applause by the fans for the creativity, Sly reaches out with one hand and shoves her hands out from under her. She falls down on her stomach, as their legs stop being intertwined. Sly floats over and goes for a grounded Tazmission, but she reaches out and gets a rope break. COACH The whole splendidness of that sequence there worked against Crystal. Both competitors come to their feet, and Crystal's starting to hold her neck a little. They go into another collar-and-elbow tie-up in center ring, and Crystal goes into a rear waistlock. Crystal spins Sly around and goes into a front facelock. Crystal then tries to transition into another legsweep, but Sly knew it was coming and steps over her head before spinning into an Oklahoma roll... 1... 2..Kickout. COACH She's been performing too many legsweeps in this match, and Sly knew it coming as soon as she started to do it. Both competitors get up and go at each other, as Sly scores with a go-behind. He hooks her head and goes for the One Hit Wonder (Last Rites/Roll of the Dice), but she pulls her head out and rolls to the outside, wanting to avoid Sly's signature move at all costs. COLE He went for the kill too early, and she saw it coming. She slides back into the ring after popping her neck, and slaps hands with Sly. Sly and Crystal lock up once again, and Sly goes into a headlock. But, she shoves him off. While doing that, she keeps ahold of his arm and pulls him back in for a shoulderblock. She then comes off of the ropes and leaps over him. She comes off the ropes on the other side as he comes to his feet. Sly goes for a hiptoss, but she reverses in mid-move and brings him over with an armdrag. She goes for his leg, but he scoots himself over into the ropes. COACH Instincts are really starting to kick in, as these two know what to do when their targetted body parts are being targetted now. Sly gets up slowly while grabbing his leg. As he rises to his feet, Crystal comes at him, assumingly looking for a lock-up. But, Sly ends up turning around and powering her into a corner. He then brings her out with a snapmare, and goes for a kick to the spine. But, he stops himself in mid-kick, looking confused. He thinks for a second before he drops down to attempt a rear chinlock. But, he moved too slow as she was able to move away as he dropped down. COLE You CANNOT let friendships get in the way of title matches! Sly made a crucial error there, not going in for the kill! Crystal immediately leaps over Sly and brings him in for an Oklahoma roll, which he immediately kicks out of. But as he does so, he accidentally feeds his leg to Crystal, who grabs ahold of it and switches her positioning to put him in a half-crab. Sly suffers in the hold for a few seconds before twisting himself around. He twists himself around again, this time while in front of Crystal, before pushing himself up off of the mat and hooking his free leg under her armpit to bring her over in an inverted victory roll... 1... TW...Kickout. Both competitors come to their feet, and Crystal regains offense by diving over Sly's far leg for a schoolboy, but converts it into a standing legbar as Sly rolls onto his back. She tries gripping further down his leg for more leverage, but ends up paying the price, as Sly grabs the back of her head and pulls her in for an odd form of the small package. He only gets a one-count, but stays on offense as they rise up, as he immediately grabs her arm and performs a wristlock that he quickly converts into a side headlock. COACH This is wrestling, folks. Something that our competitors cannot offer. COLE ...competitors? Shut up, Coachman. Sly then slides back to a reverse hammerlock before hooking both of Crystal's arms in a double chicken wing and tripping her up before rolling her onto her shoulders in a weird pinning predicament... 1... 2... Kickout. As she rolls out, Sly tries roughly positioning Crystal for some sort of front facelock. She struggles away, but he won't let up until both competitors fall into the ropes, causing a rope break from the referee. Both competitors rise to their feet, and Crystal extends her hand to go for another Greco-Roman knucklelock. Sly grabs onto it, but Crystal then tries to give him an Irish whip. Sly reverses however, and sends Crystal off to the ropes. COACH The trickery's starting to start up a little, as Crystal almost tricked Sly into a bad situation there. Crystal comes off of the ropes and ducks a clothesline attempt. She comes off of the ropes on the other side and goes for a flying headscissors. But, Sly grabs her and sets her back down on her feet before sending her off to the ropes again. Sly telegraphs a back bodydrop attempt, and Crystal lands on her feet to counter it after being lifted. She goes to the ropes again, but gets lifted in a Samoan drop position on the way back. However, Crystal slips out of that and turns Sly around. She tries whipping him into the corner, but he reverses and whips her with all of his might, sending her shoulder-first into the ringpost! COLE That cannot have felt good! Did you hear the bone connect with steel? COACH I unfortunately did. Folks, we've gotta pay some bills right now and go to a commercial break. More Sly Sommers versus Crystal World Title action after this time-out! *COMMERCIAL BREAK* COLE We are back, and all through the commercial break, there's been concern about Crystal's left shoulder, as not only has that arm been worked on so far in this match, but if we can show a replay... *Split-screen replay of Crystal going shoulder-first into ringpost* COACH You can see her shoulder violently collide with the ringpost there. The match clock was stopped during the commercial break, as Crystal rolled to the floor holding her shoulder, and Sly agreed to stop to let our floor trainer check in on her. But, she's rolling back into the ring right now, so the match must be back on. Crystal re-enters the ring while holding her arm, and Sly tries helping her come to her feet while being extra-careful with her arm. She then SLAPS HIM....! COLE Whoa! I didn't see that one coming! Crystal screams at him, "This is a (bleep)in' wrestling match! Grow some balls!". Sly looks back at her angrily while holding the side of his face, and shoves her down! Crystal gets up, looking like she's fuming while holding her arm, and shoves Sly! Sly stumbles back a few steps and looks like he's going to shove her back. She puts her arms up and flinches a little, before loosening up and walking right into a stiff chop from Sly! COACH That can't be good for the milk glands! Crystal retaliates with a chop of her own. Sly comes back with an even-stiffer chop than before. Crystal replies that chop with a harder chop. Sly and Crystal go back-and-forth with chops, each being stiffer and louder than the last. They both get eight more chops in apiece before Crystal goes for a chop, but Sly grabs her arm and drives her down to the mat with a big single-arm DDT. Sly sits up and grins while looking around, with half of the crowd cheering and half of the crowd booing. COLE It looks like that slap woke up the monster inside of Sly Sommers. That creepily looks like the Sly Sommers of the past, who would do absolutely anything for a win. COACH He needs to bring that out if he wants to win this match and become the new World Champion. By the way, am I the only one noticing just how split this crowd is becoming. It HAS to be 50/50 in favor of either one. Sly pulls Crystal up to her feet by the arm, and locks in a standing wristlock. He cranks on it as she screams in pain. He even pushes down on her shoulder temporarily before she twists herself around and tries escaping. Sly sees what she's trying to do, and ends up giving her a short-arm shoulderblock for her troubles. Sly keeps ahold of her wrist after that, and pulls her up by it. He twists her arm by the wrist again before pulling her into a judo throw-type toss. COLE He's just KILLING her arm. Sly locks in an armbar underneath his arm while kneeling on the mat while pushing down on her shoulder to increase the punishment after that sick collision in the corner. Sly seems like he gets bored with the armbar, so he straightens her arm out completely while holding her wrist, and repeatedly drops down with headbutts to her palm to jam her arm and elbow! COACH This is a strange tactic, but judging by the yelps from Crystal, it's one that works! Sly then holds Crystal's arm down straight on the mat, and jumps onto it with both feet! Sly pulls Crystal to her feet and shoves her into a corner. He then wraps her arm around the top rope, and pulls on the hand, putting his foot on the middle rope for leverage. The referee makes him break it after a five-count. COLE Sly's developing a little bit of a vicious streak here. Sly wraps Crystal's arm behind her back as he lifts her, and slams her down, all of her weight coming down on her arm. He pulls Crystal's arm out straight and nails a jumping legdrop onto it. Sly grabs her wrist as he stands above her, and quickly drops down to the mat while twisting it, both wringing it and slamming it onto the mat. He lets go right after. Sly pulls Crystal up, and whips her off to the ropes. But instead of giving her a move when she comes back, he grabs her arm and whips her off to the ropes again. COACH It looks like Sly's working over the arm by repeatedly pulling on it, while making her run to wear her out. Smart plan. She comes back, and Sly again whips her back off to the ropes. She comes back and again gets an Irish whip for her troubles. She runs back and looks to try for something, but again gets whipped to the other side. She comes back, and Sly finally switches things up by giving her a jumping shoulderblock. Sly pulls Crystal up, and finally successfully performs the butterfly suplex. COLE It looks like Sly's offensive flurry's given his knee a small rest, as he was able to nail the butterfly suplex quite nicely there. Sly again holds his target arm out, and starts repeatedly connecting with kneedrops onto it. Sly stops for a second to look around, as the dueling chants start up again... "LET'S GO CRYSTAL!" "LET'S GO SLY" COACH It seems like Sly's fans are trying to drown out Crystal's fans, who are cheering her on as her arm is taking a beating. Sly pulls her up, and smirks at a girl wearing a Crystal shirt in the front row before twisting Crystal's arm by the wrist and bringing her over with a Russian legsweep. Sly repositions his legs right after that and tries to lock in a short armscissors (Craig Pittman's old Code Red armbar), but Crystal locks her hands together to try and prevent Sly from being able to lock in the hold. Sly eventually gives up on that hold, but keeps ahold of her arm while coming to his feet. She rises with him, trying to free her arm. Sly ends up kicking it as hard as he can with the bottom of his boot, right to the back of the elbow, as she goes down in pain! COLE He could have just broken her damn arm! Sly pulls Crystal up by the hair, as the Crystal supporters in the crowd, most of whom sound really young and female, start shrieking for her. Sly again wrings her arm by the wrist, and holds her arm out straight. He releases one of his hands' grip on the wrist, and uses that hand to deliver a stiff palm thrust to her elbow. He then grabs the arm with both hands and slams it down to the mat, with the rest of her body following. COACH Sly's acting like a bit of an a-hole ever since Crystal lit that fire in his ass with the slap to the face. Sly turns Crystal over onto her stomach, as she had turned onto her back while holding her arm in pain. He then wraps both of her arms around her upper torso, and sits down to complete the straitjacket camel clutch. Crystal screams and beats her feet repeatedly into the mat as Sly cranks back on the hold. He has her in it for over twenty seconds and she refuses to submit, so he lets it go. COLE Sly just made another dumb mistake: NEVER, EVER let a submission hold go EVER. She could have passed out and Sly could have won that way. Sly grabs her arm and attempts to turn her over into the short-arm scissors again. But, Crystal is able to roll forward before he can come down with it, and tries to bring him over with a schoolboy. But, Sly crouches down a little to keep himself standing before switching his positioning and kneeling down with another armbar. Sly stands all of the way up and pulls Crystal up before lifting her up on his shoulders and delivering a Finley Roll to her. Sly immediately rolls onto his feet and leaps to the second rope. He slaps his knee before nailing a falling headbutt right to her shoulder. COACH Shades of Austin Aries, with the replacement of the 450 Splash with a second rope headbutt to Crystal's hurt shoulder. Sly holds his leg for a few seconds after coming off of the ropes, as he's obviously over-exerted it and was ignoring it for a bit too long. Sly then crawls over and goes for the cover... 1... 2... Kickout. Right when Crystal lifts her arm up for the kickout, Sly hooks it and locks in a keylock. Crystal starts to pound her fist on the mat, and the crowd starts clapping along to the beat of her pounding. The crowd's energy feeds off to her, as she rolls her feet back and kips up onto her feet and out of the keylock. Sly comes up and Crystal pops up to attempt a hurricanrana. But, Sly catches her and switches his hold on her, to a side-suplex-type predicament. Sly then hooks her arm behind her back, and drops her with a side suplex backbreaker, dropping her across his good knee with the weight coming down on her arm! COLE GEEZ! COACH You got that right! Sly pulls Crystal up, and whips her off to the ropes. When she comes back to him, he tosses her up in the air a little, and drives her down into the mat with an elevated single-arm DDT! Sly pulls Crystal up by the hair, as he readjusts his kneepad with the hand he isn't using to keep ahold of Crystal. Sly holds Crystal's hand down on the middle rope and nails two thrust kicks to her elbow before stepping to the middle rope and stomping down on her shoulder! COACH Sly must REALLY want that belt...that's someone in there that he calls his friend! COLE Friendships dissolve in title matches, Coach. She falls down to the mat, holding her arm, as Sly comes back down to the mat. Sly pulls Crystal up and headbutts her twice in the shoulder. He delivers a forearm strike to her shoulder before hooking Crystal's head under his arm and her arm over his head. He lifts Crystal for a suplex...and drops her vertically shoulder-first onto his good knee! CROWD O-A-O-AST! *clap clap clap clap clap* O-A-O-AST! *clap clap clap clap clap* COLE What in God's name was THAT? COACH (bleep)damn brutal. Sly takes time again to readjust the kneepad on his targetted knee before turning around and seeing that Crystal's leg is under the rope. So, instead of taking the time to pull her out, he pulls her up to her feet. Sly tucks Crystal's arm behind her back before bringing her over with a gutwrench suplex. Sly then goes for the cover... 1... 2... Kickout. Sly pulls Crystal up, and yells "SLYLEDRIVER!" in the air, to a mixed reaction. COLE He's going for the kill! He hooks Crystal's arms around her chest and stomach and goes to lift. But, she blocks being lifted twice. She then pulls one of her hands out of Sly's grip and twists around while coming to a standing position. She keeps ahold of Sly's hand, and pulls him in as she hooks his head and spins around to hit a tornado DDT! COACH That came out of nowhere! Crystal stays down holding her arm as Sly looks at the ceiling in a slight daze. Both competitors slowly get to their feet at the same time before Crystal nails another move out of nowhere, this time it being a flying headscissors takeover after running at Sly. Sly pops off of the mat and gets chopped for his troubles. Crystal grabs Sly's arm and attempts to whip him to a corner. But, Sly reverses the whip and sends Crystal to the corner. Sly charges at her and goes for a Nebraskan Tumbleweed, but she moves. Sly ends up getting his bad knee hooked over the top rope after flipping. COLE Uh oh; that cannot be good for Sly's leg. Crystal sees the opening and takes advantage by dropkicking Sly's knee. Doing that causes the top rope to shake and Sly's knee to straighten up enough that it unhooks and he comes down to the mat. Crystal pulls Sly away from the ropes by his leg and wraps his leg around hers before falling down to the mat quickly, with her weight crashing down on Sly's knee. COACH She doesn't weigh much, but she could still hurt his leg severely with that. Crystal drags Sly back to the ropes and drapes his foot over the bottom rope. She then steps up to the second rope and drops down on her ass onto Sly's elevated knee. She steps up again, and jumps back down on his knee a second time. She pulls Sly up to his feet and lifts him for a side suplex. But, she hooks his knee and ends up dropping him with an inverted atomic drop, dropping him on his knee instead of his testicles. COLE Odd, but this is RIGHT out of the Ric Flair gamebook. Crystal keeps ahold of Sly's leg as he falls to the mat and locks in a standing legbar, with her using her extra hand to wrench down on Sly's knee. She even tries twisting her own position to apply more pressure. But, Sly won't give in. So, she places his foot on the mat. She then puts her foot on his other leg before putting her other arm down on his bad leg to hold it down, and her other leg on the other leg. She then pushes out completely, splitting his legs out as far as she can! COACH That'll rip all of his hamstrings out completely. Crystal starts rubbing the edge of her elbow into Sly's knee to apply more pressure to that injury, but she still cannot give Sly to give in. So, she breaks the hold, but holds Sly's bad leg down to the mat. She then jumps up and comes down hard with a kneedrop onto his leg. Crystal lifts his leg up as she comes to a standing position, and goes into a spinning toe hold. COLE Here's one straight out of the Dory Funk Jr. playbook. She does one rotation before standing in place and cranking in on the knee. Sly yelps in pain as she cranks the hold in before he scoots himself quickly to the ropes and gets a rope break. Sly then tries to pull himself up with the ropes, but when he just about gets up, Crystal kicks him hard in the back of the leg to send him back down. Sly goes down, holding his leg. But, he still tries to get up again. He gets to a squatting position, and Crystal again kicks his leg to send him down. COACH She kicked his leg out from under his leg! Crystal pulls Sly to mid-ring by his leg instead of letting him try to get up. She straightens the leg completely while holding it up...and quickly bends it to attempt to jam it. She straightens the leg and does the same thing again. She then grabs the top of the ankle with both hands and does a rolling flip, much like the Hennig Neck Snap, but on Sly's leg. COLE She's assassinating that leg! Sly holds his leg in pain, screaming from the punishment so far. But, thanks to exerting that body part during the move, Crystal ends up seated on the mat and having to shake off her elbow. This gives Sly time to limp up to his feet. She sees that he's up, and immediately jumps up to dropkick his knee and send him back down. Crystal then holds Sly's leg up, and starts to repeatedly kick the side of his knee. She then goes for the stepover toehold from earlier, but chooses to twist the ankle while doing so! COACH Smart move, adding more punishment onto a move that didn't work earlier. Sly reaches out while screaming, trying to get to the ropes. But, he can't. So, he gets a clever thought quickly and starts to roll himself around on the mat. The first roll leaves him in a seated position behind Crystal, so he starts to repeatedly chop her in the back to get her to loosen up. He rolls around again, and finds himself putting HER in the stepover toehold this time. So he reaches up to complete the STF with a facelock. But, she reaches the ropes before he can properly apply it. COLE She knew it was coming from previous occurances, and knew where she was in the ring. Good ring awareness. Both competitors come up, with Sly pulling himself up with the ropes. Sly hooks Crystal's head before she can do anything, and attempts to lift her for a suplex. But, she hooks her leg around his to block before scoring a go-behind. She pulls his leg out from under him to send him down to the mat. She then bends her own knee while keeping ahold of his leg...and slams his knee down on the bend in her knee! COACH That's a first! Crystal grabs ahold of the bottom of Sly's foot and angles the leg slightly before dropping a legdrop on it. Crystal pulls Sly up to his feet and goes for a side suplex, but her arm starts giving her problems and leaves her unable to lift him. So, she forearms him in the hamstring with her good arm. Sly's left standing and holding his leg as Crystal comes off of the ropes. She then nails a rolling Koppo kick, sweeping Sly off of his feet. Crystal walks to the ropes and leaps to the second before connecting with a Lionsault to Sly's leg. COLE That's smart of Crystal; she has to use her speed and agility to stay in the game, since Sly's seemed to be her equal on the mat so far. COACH But with Sly's leg how it is, I doubt he can really go on the mat right now. Crystal turns Sly onto his back and lifts his leg up. She then pulls it forward, in an almost half-crab-type manner, but with her facing the same direction that Sly is. However, she cannot hold it together, as Sly is able to go right into a headstand while she still has ahold of his leg. But, she puts him right back down by kicking him in the spine. She then pulls Sly a little closer to mid-ring and locks in a normal half-crab. COLE Like we've both said so far, you CANNOT be going all fancy in big title situations like this. Sly tries to escape, but Crystal starts kicking him in the side with the back of one of her feet to keep him in line. Sly tries crawling towards the ropes, but again she kicks him repeatedly to keep him in place. Finally, Sly grabs her leg before she can lay in another kick, and crawls with his other hand to reach the ropes for a rope break. She releases the hold and kicks him in the stomach as he tries to get back to his feet. COACH I've never seen Crystal do something like that before...at least to someone she likes and respects. COLE Well, Crystal's never had to defend the World Title before against someone she likes and respects. Crystal pulls Sly up and shoves him into a corner. She then wraps his leg around the middle rope and dropkicks it again. She pulls the leg out of the ropes and nails a dragon screw. She then keeps ahold of the leg and goes for a Figure Four Leglock, but Sly kicks her in the chest after the twist and she goes down. Both competitors come up after that, and Crystal grabs Sly's bad leg. Sly hops around on the good leg and goes for an enziguri. But, she ducks it. COACH That's wrestler's instinct, to duck moves like the enziguri, not anything she learned from previous matches against Sly. Crystal keeps ahold of the leg and goes for an anklelock, but Sly rolls through and brings her over into a victory roll... 1... 2... Kickout. Both come to their feet at the same time, and Crystal scores with a double-leg takedown. She then hooks the legs and goes for the Crystalling! But, Sly knew it was coming and twisted himself quickly so that she'd roll off. Both competitors come up, and Sly ducks a forearm to the face. He gets under Crystal and nails a release Northern Lights suplex. Sly goes for the cover... 1... 2... Kickout. Sly pulls Crystal up and sends her off to the ropes. She ducks a clothesline and comes off of the other side. She runs at Sly, but he side-steps and hooks her neck in what looks like a rear chinlock before dropping her with a sleeper drop. Sly pulls Crystal up to a kneeling position, and starts to deliver repeated crossface shots to both sides of her head. Sly then hooks Crystal's head and locks in a Dragon Sleeper. Crystal struggles at first before pumping her fist in the air repeatedly to get her fans behind her with clapping. COLE Crystal's one of those types of competitors that can run on just the energy that the crowd gives her and go full-tilt. COACH But, if your neck's broken like Sly's trying to go for here, you can't really go full-tilt either way. Crystal gets to her feet and starts kicking upward at Sly's face. The third kick wards him off of her, breaking the hold. She turns Sly around, as he stutter-stepped backwards after the third kick, and puts him in position for a powerbomb. But, Sly scores with a double-leg takedown and rolls through into a jackknife pin... 1.. 2.. Kickout. Sly pulls her up right back up and locks in a waistlock. Sly then turns around and lifts Crystal, positioning her for the Gory Special before letting go of her arms and planting her on the mat face-first. However, Sly pulls Crystal up instead of going for the cover, and hooks her head to drop her with a front-fall neckbreaker. Sly follows that with a pin attempt... 1... 2... Kickout. Sly gets up and slaps the sides of his hurt knee to get it back into order. He then comes off of the ropes and nails a rolling legdrop. Sly turns Crystal over and goes into a camel clutch. But, Crystal is able to work her way up quicker than usual somehow, and is up on her feet within ten seconds of the hold being applied. She then nails a few well-placed elbows to the stomach. She tries running off, but he grabs her hand and pulls her back in to hit a spinning uranage (Rock Bottom). COLE Sly saw it coming, as that's about as generic of an escape of any chinlock variation as it gets. COACH That, and she's already done that escape in this match. Sly goes for the cover... 1... 2.. Kickout. Sly pulls Crystal up, looking quite frustrated, and goes to lift her for a suplex. But, his leg literally gives out on him, as he drops down to one knee just because he got her about an inch off of the ground. So, Sly abandons the suplex and whips her off to the ropes. She goes for a clothesline coming off of the ropes, but Sly ducks it. Crystal stops herself to turn around...and walks right into a cravate! COLE The cravate, three-quarter chancery, the neck crank...call it whatever you want, I call it effective in any situation where your opponent's neck is being softened up. Crystal starts immediately trying to wiggle up, thinking that it might be the set-up for the Cravateface. But, he ends up staying on his feet and cranking it in even tighter to keep it applied. She grabs onto his bottom arm with both hands, and starts pushing off of them, trying to pull her head out. About ten seconds later, she escapes the hold. But, Sly reaches out to pull her back in and drop her on the back of her neck with a cravate suplex! COACH Sly Sommers owes Chris Hero about $567 in royalty fees there! Sly goes for the cover... 1... 2... Kickout. Sly pulls Crystal up and shoves her into a corner. He then delivers a stiff back elbow to right below her jaw. Sly then delivers a stiff palm thrust right to the side of Crystal's jaw. Sly backs up a little, as Crystal stumbles forward. Sly then hooks Crystal's head and arm and her bad arm between her legs to nail a wrist clutch exploder suplex (uranage/Rock Bottom overhead suplex with arm hooked between legs)! COLE Oww. Crystal does the smart thing, knowing that the suplex knocked her a bit loopy, and rolls to the ropes so that Sly can't pin her. But, Sly actually takes the time to pull her out of the ropes this time instead of not bothering, thinking he can keep her down after a big move like that. He goes for the cover... 1... 2... Kickout. Sly pulls Crystal up again and cranks her neck to nail a neckbreaker down on her knee. Sly grabs Crystal's head and arm as she lies on the mat, and locks in a cobra clutch. COACH Folks, I can't believe we're going to do this, but we've got to go to another commercial break. If the match ends with this cobra clutch in the couple of minutes that we're gone, our tape machines are rolling and we will air the end of the match. Stay tuned! *COMMERCIAL BREAK* COLE We're back, folks. During the break, Crystal tried escaping the cobra clutch, but got dropped on Sly's knee for her troubles. Sly's still on offense. Sly puts Crystal in position and picks her up for a powerbomb. But, she slips out of the back end before grabbing Sly in a waistlock and rolling him back with a prawn hold... 1... 2... Kickout. As Sly kicks out, his feet's momentum sends Crystal hurling towards a corner. But, knowing what happened to her earlier in the same situation, she stops herself before going into the ringpost. COLE That was probably the best thing she could have possibly done in that situation. Crystal turns around, but walks right into a kick to the stomach. Sly hooks her head and hooks her arm behind his, lifts her...and drops her with a brainbuster! Sly goes for the cover... 1... 2... Kickout! COACH That was a close one! Sly looks up to the sky and yells in frustration. He then pulls Crystal up and tries to hit the Sommerset (piggyback stunner). But, she slips out the back end and brings Sly over with a schoolboy... 1... 2... Kickout. Sly pops up and tackles Crystal to the mat. He then turns her over, and immediately goes for a hangman's clutch (STF w/ cravate). But, she gets to the ropes too quickly. Sly pulls her up instead of letting her get up on her own, and forces her over with a backslide... 1... 2... Kickout. COLE That seemed a bit urgent, doncha think? She rolls back onto her feet while kicking out, but Sly pops out right as she gets fully standing and plants her with a DDT. But, instead of letting go of the facelock, he keeps her in a front choke by locking in the bodyscissors around her waist as well. COACH You can tell that he's still working over her neck from before, but is more urgent to get this match overwith, seeing as if we've gone a while with this bad boy so far. Crystal starts scooting herself sideways by her knees as Sly tries to anchor himself down legally. But, it doesn't work as she gets to the ropes. He lets go of the hold, and she crawls away to near a corner. She comes to her feet as Sly limps to his. He then charges at her, but right as he gets to her, she dips down and backdrops Sly...and he lands back-first onto the top of the ringpost! COLE Oh my GOD! COACH I think Sly just got another target drawn onto his body right there! Sly rolls off of the corner and falls face-first onto the apron. He starts screaming while holding his back, obviously in pain from what just happened to him. The referee makes Crystal step back to check on Sly's condition. COLE This is very reminescent of what happened with Crystal's shoulder and the ringpost earlier in the match. After about ten seconds, Crystal shoves the referee aside and pulls Sly up. Crystal lifts Sly up and puts him in an electric chair...but he rolls forward and brings her into a victory roll.... 1... 2... Kickout! Crystal immediately pops up and starts stomping Sly in the back, frustrated by that little trick by Sly. Crystal then pulls Sly up to all fours...and jumps up to nail a double-stomp to his stomach. COACH I'm figuring here that Crystal's getting so frustrated that, if Sly's trying to fake or at least fool Crystal by thinking he was seriously hurt, then she's going to hurt his back for real! Crystal then hooks onto Sly's chin with one hand and his ankle with the other, and tries bridging forward to lock in a bridging bow-and-arrow. But, her neck gives out during the bridge and she can't complete it. So, she gets up and pulls him up to a bent position before forearming him in the back three times. Crystal then grabs onto him and brings him down with a Russian legsweep. She keeps ahold of him as she comes back up and nails another Russian legsweep. She then floats back and goes for the cover... 1... 2... Kickout! Crystal grunts in anger before pulling Sly up, and punching him in the kidney! COLE Come on, that just ain't right! Crystal then gets behind Sly and grabs onto his shoulders. Crystal jumps up, sticks her knees up, and falls back to drive her knees into his back (known as the Lungblower or John Walters Backbreaker). Crystal then rolls Sly into a ball-and-chain pin... 1... 2... Kickout! Crystal pulls Sly up and again goes for a powerbomb, but due to him working over her arm earlier, she can't lift him. So, she forearms him in the back three times before jumping up and nailing a Rocker Dropper legdrop to his back instead of his neck. COACH I just noticed that, not only is the back work revenge on Sly, but she's also softening up for the Crystalling, since it bends the opponent's back as well as tweaks his legs. Crystal pulls Sly up, and brings him over with a snap suplex which she floats over into a pin... 1... 2... Kickout. Crystal pulls Sly up and nails a double chop to his chest to send him back into a corner. Crystal walks over and turns Sly around before delivering four straight shoulder charges to his lower back. Crystal then goes to mid-ring and charges back. When she gets to Sly, she jumps up and brings him over with a cool-looking reverse monkey flip. Crystal comes off of the ropes right after, and nails a nice running cannonball senton to his back. COLE She's just killing those lower vertebra. Crystal pulls Sly up and lifts him to hit a side suplex backbreaker, much like the arm-tucked version that Sly hit earlier. Crystal goes for the cover... 1... 2.. Kickout. Crystal pulls Sly off of the mat and slaps him in the face before lifting him and sitting him on the top turnbuckle. Crystal takes a second to shake off her arm, but pays for it as Sly's able to recouperate and nails a stiff forearm to her face. He then re-adjusts his positioning and stands on the middle rope while hooking her head. But, she escapes the tornado DDT attempt with a forearm to the stomach. She then hooks his head and leg to hit a fisherman's suplex... 1... 2... Kickout! Crystal pulls Sly up and hooks his arms. She then lifts him off of the ground a little and slams him down on his back to nail a twisting butterfly slam. Crystal sits Sly up, and while holding onto his head for balance, starts kicking away at his spine as hard as she can. She gets in five kicks before giving up, to pull Sly up and hook him in a pumphandle. She then gets him off of the ground a little and drops him with a backbreaker across her knee. COLE Notice how she can't lift him as high as she usually could; that's Sly's offense working as defense for him late in the match. Sly rolls onto his stomach while holding his back before Crystal connects with a standing falling headbutt to his lower back. Crystal pulls Sly up, and stretches him across her back facing the opposite way to hit a 3.0 backbreaker (Mike Sanders's old finisher). The impact causes Sly to bounce right back to a standing position, but he soon stumbles back into a schoolboy... 1... 2... Kickout. Crystal quickly pulls Sly up and connects with an STO across her knee before hooking his head and dropping him on her other knee with a reverse DDT variation. Crystal keeps ahold of his head to drop him with a Curtain Call before going right into a pin... 1... 2... Rope break. Crystal pulls Sly up quickly, as she spits to the floor in disgust. She goes to the second rope and hooks both of his arms before flipping over him and landing while driving her good shoulder into his back. She immediately turns him over and is able to go right into a La Magistral cradle out of that.... 1.... 2.... Kickout. Crystal pulls Sly up and delivers a double axe handle strike to his lower back. She then goes for the powerbomb yet again, but this time, after taking her time positioning him. He bridges to try and hold her down for a pin, but she slaps his sides to break the bridge before bridging up herself and twisting around to bring him over with a backslide.... 1... 2... Kickout. Both competitors come to their feet, though not nearly as quickly as they would at the beginning of the match. COLE You can really tell how much the exhaustion's kicking in, as we're about forty minutes in. Crystal grabs Sly's head and drives him face-first into her bent knee. She then grabs him by the head and drives him backwards into the knee. She then turns him onto his stomach and plants her foot in his back while pulling up on his arms. Sly screams in pain as she cranks back even further. COLE God(bleep)it, we've got to take our final commercial break, at least during the course of this match. Back with even more in a few. Tape machines are rolling! *COMMERCIAL BREAK* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 COLE We're back here, folks. During the break, Sly got a rope break while in the hold, but she pulled him right back to the center of the ring. But, as you can see here, Sly's working his way to his feet here. Sly comes up to both feet while Crystal still has her foot planted in his back and ahold of his arms. Sly starts wiggling before getting Crystal's foot down. He then pulls his arms inward to pull her to him, lifts her in a piggyback, and drops her with the Sommerset! COACH That usually doesn't win too many matches, but it's a devastating move in a long match like this, so who knows! Sly crawls over to get the pin, but she rolls over to the ropes. So, he just starts crawling to get up. She starts pulling herself up as well, as the referee's count starts... 1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6...both on one knee.... 7...Sly's almost up... 8... Both come to their feet, with Sly getting up a little bit faster. Crystal connects with a chop as they both come to center-ring, and Sly retaliates with a forearm to the face. It rocks Crystal back a little, but she comes right back up with a stiff chop that makes Sly grab his chest. Sly then reaches back and nails Crystal with an even stiffer forearm than from before. Crystal goes for another chop after taking a few steps back, but Sly grabs her wrist and hooks her head to counter into a small package... 1... 2... Kickout! Both competitors come back up, and Sly forces Crystal to the ropes. He then chops her hard three times while up on the ropes before sending her off to the other side with an Irish whip. He then lifts her for a hiptoss and brings her down with a falling reverse DDT. Sly goes for the cover.... 1... 2... Kickout! Sly pulls Crystal up and connects with a forearm to the side of the head, and the chants start up again... "LET'S GO SLY!" "LET'S GO CRYSTAL!" "LET'S GO SLY!" "LET'S GO CRYSTAL!" Sly whips Crystal off to the ropes, but Crystal comes back on the defense, hitting a flying headscissors into a victory roll... 1... 2... Kickout! Crystal pulls Sly up and hooks his arms across his chest before going behind him and hitting a straitjacket Edge-o-Matic. She then hooks his legs for a pinning predicament.... 1... 2... Kickout! Crystal pulls Sly up and hooks him for a side slam. She lifts him, but he flips back onto his feet and escapes to hook her for a side slam. But, he then bridges back and drives her down onto her shoulders and the back of her neck! He keeps the bridge for the cover.... 1... 2... KICKOUT! COLE I've NEVER seen that one before! COACH Didn't Austin Aries do th... COLE SHUT UP! Sly takes a deep breath while lying on his back on the mat, and brushes the sweaty hair out of his face before coming to his feet and pulling Crystal up with him. He then sits her on the top turnbuckle and turns away. He reaches backwards and grabs her hands to bring her over with an Iconoclasm (version of a sit-down slam)! Sly goes for the cover... 1... 2... KICKOUT! Sly pulls her up with a rear chinlock before hooking her arm to try a cross-face chicken wing. But, as soon as Sly gets the arm hooked, Crystal makes a sprint and jumps into the rope to break the hold. He releases, but pulls her out of the ropes and hooks her for a suplex. He lifts her up, but then changes positioning in mid-move and drops her with an elevated single-arm DDT. COACH Sly's re-touching on the arm and shoulder work from earlier, as it seems like he's really been going in for the kill here! Sly immediately goes right into the Fujiwara armbar right after the landing! He even bridges back to crank even further on the shoulder. Crystal lifts her free arm up, looking as she's going to submit, as half of the crowd is cheering her on. The other half? "TAP!" "TAP!" "TAP!" She reaches outward, looking like she's gonna tap...but then scoots herself over and grabs the bottom rope! Sly lets go of the hold with a disappointed look on his face. He pulls her up and forces her into the ropes before trying for an Irish whip. But, she clings onto the ropes with as much grip as possible. He tries pulling again, but she forearms him in the face for his troubles. Sly stumbles around, turning his back to her...and gets a spear to the back for his troubles! COLE That could be it! But, it's not, as she decides to pull Sly up, and nails a bridging German suplex... 1... 2... KICKOUT! COLE Question: How in the hell was that possible? This match is getting scarily close to the time limit; I don't see how anyone's kicking out of anything like that! Both competitors stagger to their feet after that, and Crystal goes for a kick to the stomach. But, Sly grabs her leg. He then pulls her in and hooks her other leg before hooking her leg and dropping her with the Overnight Sensation (cradle DDT)! Sly goes for the cover about ten seconds later, with just his arm draped over her... 1... 2... KICKOUT! COACH Either someone's gonna die, or this match is going to a draw! Sly slowly staggers to his feet, looking like he's just going to fall back down any second. He pulls Crystal up and sends her off to the ropes. He goes for a hiptoss, but somehow she lands on her feet out of it. She then turns around and dropkicks Sly in the knee. She immediately turns around and quickly locks in the Figure Four Leglock, making sure not to leave Sly any time to kick her off like her first attempt earlier! COLE This is it, folks! She cranks down on it, as half the crowd chants "SLY! SLY! SLY" and the other half chants "TAP! TAP! TAP!". He puts his hand out as if he's getting ready to tap...but then lies down as he grunts and screams in pain. He lies on his back for an extended period of time, so the referee goes to count his shoulders down... 1... 2... Sly comes back up! Sly pumps his fist in the air, trying to get the crowd behind him and to turn the move over. But, his efforts end up exerting too much energy, as he falls back to the mat. The referee counts his shoulders down again... 1... 2... Sly comes back up, and goes right into trying to turn the move over...and he succeeds! But, Crystal is able to pull her leg out and crawl away. Both competitors groggily rise to their feet, and Crystal immediately tries to slam Sly. But, he gets a go-behind mid-move and hooks her for the One Hit Wonder (Last Rites/Roll of the Dice). But, when he spins with it, she grabs onto the ropes and Sly falls to the mat without hitting it. COACH That's the one huge advantage that Crystal's had this entire match: superior ring awareness. Crystal grabs Sly's leg immediately and goes for the Nagatalock (inverted Figure Four), but Sly trips her and goes right into a leg-assisted schoolboy pin... 1... 2... KICKOUT! Sly grabs her from behind right as both come up, and he goes for the USA High Angle Backdrop 2K4 (High angle side suplex/backdrop with the arm hooked across the stomach), but in mid-move, she twists around while coming over and brings him over with a sunset flip... 1... 2... KICKOUT! He rolls out right after kicking out and nails a stiff Hagekure (running knee to seated opponent's face)! Sly immediately collapses on her for the cover... 1... 2... KICKOUT! Sly gets to his feet and does the "it's done" arm-wave signal. He pulls Crystal up and hooks her arms across her chest before hooking her underneath his armpit, as he's going for the Horrorscope! COLE If he spikes her with this, it's all over! He lifts her for it, but she pops out and lands on her feet in the last second. She takes advantage of Sly's shock...and nails a HYOOOGE Spear! She goes for the cover!.... 1.... 2.... KICKOUT! COACH That was damn close! Crystal pulls Sly up by the hair, and is looking pissed. She then places his head between her legs and slides her thumb across her throat. She hooks his waist...and GOES FOR THE CANADIAN DESTROYER! COLE Straight of of the playbook of a fellow Canadian: Petey Williams! She gets up with it, but Sly stands up straight instead and holds her upside-down by the legs. Sly then drops straight down and nails a reverse tombstone piledriver, spiking her right on top of her head! Sly then moves over and goes for the cover... 1.... 2... KICKOUT! Sly yells out "DAMN IT!" before slapping himself in the face and getting right back up. Sly doesn't even bother pulling Crystal up fully, just positioning her head between his legs. He crosses her arms over his chest, looking to go for his Slyledriver (straitjacket piledriver). Crystal tries fighting out and he has trouble keeping her down...so Sly starts going APESHIT with repeated rapid-fire, stiff-as-hell forearms to her back, as the cheers get louder and louder with each one, until she finally goes down to the mat! COACH I think Sly's starting to get pissed off here! COLE Gee, ya think? He only has maybe eight minutes left before his title shot becomes a thing of the past, unless he can get her out right now. Sly pulls her back up, hooks her arms around her chest, and...drops her with the Horrorscope! Sly goes for the cover... 1... 2... KICKOUT! There's a mixed reaction to that kickout from the crowd, who are all standing now. Sly freaks out after she kicks out of that, as he gets up and starts pounding the mat with his fist. The pro-Sly part of the crowd starts clapping in unison, getting behind him. Crystal pulls herself up with the ropes...and gets run DOWN with a HYOOOOGE lariat! Sly goes for the cover... 1.... 2... THR...KICKOUT! COLE We were 34/35ths of a second away from a NEW WORLD CHAMPION! Sly pulls her up and immediately positions her for the Slyledriver again. He lifts...and DRIVES HER RIGHT ON HER SKULL! Sly goes for the cover... 1... 2... SHE GETS HER FOOT ON THE ROPES! COACH So the question is still unanswered: the first match, the Thrillogy broke up the pin. In this one, she got a rope break. Can Crystal survive the Slyledriver? Sly pulls her up immediately and hooks her for it again. But, he does it too close to the ropes, as her foot gets caught in between the top and middle ropes. Sly drops her for a second just to take a break, then pulls her up slowly. He tries hooking her for the Horrorscope, but she forearms her way out. She takes a step back and charges at Sly to nail a tornado Flatliner. COLE That's a new one. Crystal shakes herself off as she sits on the mat for a second before getting to her feet and going after Sly's legs. She hooks them and goes for the Crystalling! COACH If she turns this over, it's over for Sly Sommers! She tries turning it, but Sly plants his elbows in the mat to make sure she can't turn it. She tries with all of her might, but leaves herself open for a legtrip by Sly, as he makes he fall down before leaning forward and turning her over. He hooks his leg around hers and grabs her head...to lock in the STF! COLE This move has alluded both competitors the entire match; could it be the match-maker? He cranks back on it, bending Crystal's neck back to obscene proportions. But, she still has her hands free, and is able to crawl to the ropes using them to get a rope break. Sly reluctantly lets go of the hold, and takes time to shake his knee to try and get the pain to go down a little before going after Crystal again. When he does, he starts chasing her as she's down on all fours. He dives in after her, and she goes for a tackle to the knee. But, he avoids it. COACH Those are about as primal as instincts get. He picks her up from behind in a waistlock, and drops her on her skull with a release German suplex! Sly pops up and turns her over for the pin... 1... 2... KICKOUT! COLE WOW! COACH These two have just a few minutes left; they BETTER go in for the kill NOW! Sly pulls Crystal up and yells out "ONE HIT...WONDER!" He then hooks her head in position, and spins for it. BUT, Crystal twists it herself and goes for a reverse DDT. But, he punches her upward in the jaw and turns it over again. He yells out "ONE HIT WONDER!" again, and nails it perfectly! Sly goes for the pin... 1... 2... KICKOUT! Sly sits on his BUTT, exhausted and brushing his hair out of his face. Completely covered in sweat and totally spent, Sly slowly rises to his feet. He then rises slowly to his feet, and does the universal "get up" hand signal to Crystal. She slowly struggles up to her feet. When she rises and turns around, Sly charges at her and goes for a Yakuza kick! But, Crystal grabs the leg, hooks it under her armpit, and drives it down to the mat with a DDT-like move to jam the knee! COLE That's unbelievable! Crystal keeps ahold of the foot as she immediately rises to her feet. She crosses his legs and locks in the Crystalling quickly as the crowd goes NUTS! Sly reaches out to the ropes...but she pulls him in the middle of the ring! COACH I think she's got him...and there's less than a minute left! Sly keeps reaching out for the ropes, but he can't grab them. So, he starts grabbing at Crystal's pants. She gets annoyed by it quickly, so she reaches back to bend down and smack him. But when she bends down, she leaves herself open, as Sly twists around and LOCKS IN A CRAVATE while in the Crystalling! COLE I can't believe what I'm seeing! Dueling submissions! He twists her neck as she yanks back on the Crystalling. Flashbulbs are going off in the background, fans are on their feet, and the dueling chants start again.. "LET'S GO SLY!" "LET'S GO CRYSTAL!" "LET'S GO SLY!" "LET'S GO CRYSTAL!" "LET'S GO SLY!" "LET'S GO CRYSTAL!" The referee is confused in the background, as neither competitor is letting go of their hold! BUFFER There are fifteen seconds remaining in the time limit; fifteen seconds! That announcement gets a roar from the crowd. The crowd starts counting down, as both competitors look to be starting to daze off from the pain.... TEN... NINE... EIGHT... SEVEN... SIX... FIVE... FOUR... THREE... TWO... ONE! *DING**DING* BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen...this match has gone to a time-limit draw. Crystal is STILL your OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion! Both competitors fall to the mat due to exhaustion and pain, as ring assistants run to the ring with bottles of water in tow to revive the wrestlers. COLE Folks...we just saw two competitors go for ONE HOUR for the richest prize in the industry, for what I can remember being the first time in the history of this television broadcast, HeldDOWN~!. Sly pours the bottle of water over his head, as Crystal sits down in a corner and drinks from the bottle. All of a sudden, every single person in the building stands up and starts applauding both competitors for an excellent contest. They then go into chant... CROWD "THANK YOU!" "THANK YOU!" "THANK YOU!" COACH That's one of the most deserving chants I've ever heard while sitting at this desk. COLE I still can't believe that, in this day and age, that we just saw two incredible athletes go one full hour for the World Title on free TV. That's unbelievable. COACH If I were in the Board of Directors, I'd start making arguments to make a rematch between these two, and to elongate the time limit! COLE I don't think much of an argument needs to be made; that match is about all the argument that's needed. COACH I hope that when the announcement comes down for the contender to face Crystal at Dirty Deeds on this program next week, that it's Sly Sommers. We need to find a clear-cut winner between these two, after such an incredible contest! *COMMERCIAL BREAK* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 COLE Well, it’s come to this. For the past two hours, the OAOAST has brought you one of the greatest HeldDown’s to ever take place, with some top-class matches from start to finish. We have had one of our Main Events for the evening, the match you just witnessed, possibly the match of 2004 in the OAOAST, with Crystal and Sly Sommers wrestling to a one hour draw for the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship. COACH I still can’t believe what we just saw… a sixty minute time limit draw… absolutely brilliant. COLE But now, we now come to the other half of our Main Event, the Dream Tag Team Partner match, pitting Axel against Zack Malibu. And let me remind you now, Ladies and Gentlemen, we have taken all of our commercial breaks for the evening. We will stay with this Main Event until the very end. COACH You won’t miss a moment of this one! COLE This rivalry has been building for a while now, hasn’t it Coach COACH That’s right Cole; this match was made two weeks ago on HeldDown when Axel interrupted Zack Malibu, when Zack was trying to call Crystal out for a rematch for the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship. Axel said that the issue with Crystal was over, and now it was Axel’s turn to exact some revenge from the leader of the Thrillogy. The Thrillogy locked Axel in a casket and attempted to end his career back in June, but Axel was lucky enough to escape, and return to Australia where he sorted his personal problems out, and exorcised his demons. We have only seen Axel in action once since he has returned, losing to Hoff in the final of the Emperor of Death Tournament. Axel has since completed a tour of Japan, and currently holds the HIYAH World Championship, which he will defend on OAOAST Television in the near future. CABOOSE And then Axel decided to commit career suicide. COLE Zack Malibu wondered why Axel thought that Zack would accept a challenge, and Axel’s answer was simple – “You’ve never beaten me Zack”. Axel did the smart thing and made the match a Dream Tag Team Partner match. Zack’s partner was revealed last week as who else, but Calvin Szechstein. But Axel’s partner has remained a mystery up until this very day. We’ve seen the small hints. Not on the active roster. The Cigarettes. The fact that Axel’s partner holds victories over no only Zack Malibu, but Calvin Szechstein as well. Axel remains tight-lipped, and as far as we know, the only people that know the identity of Axel’s mystery partner are Axel himself, Gunner Sharps, and the Board of Directors, who have respected the fact that Axel wants to keep the partner a secret, and have agreed to the match. This has to be a disadvantage to Zack and Calvin, but I’m sure if I know those two, they’ve been watching tapes and going over different possibilities for the last two weeks. COACH Definitely Michael. Now, on with the Main Event! *DING DING DING* BUFFER Ladies and Gentlemen, the following is our Main Event of the evening, and is the special Dream Tag Team Partner Match! A roar goes up around the arena, but is soon replaced by a deafening jeer as Papa Roach's "Getting Away With Murder" is cued up by the OAOAST sound crew. COLE We are all set for our blockbuster second Main Event! COACH And we still have absolutely no idea who Axel’s partner is! CABOOSE Whoever it is, they’ve got no chance of beating Zack and Calvin. Zack Malibu and Calvin Szechstein emerge through the curtain and look around the arena, almost amazed at the 57,000 fans booing the ever-loving shit out of them. The two former World Champions scour the Australian crowd, their faces displaying looks of confidence and disgust at the same time as the Aussie fans berate the two superstars. The two Thrillogy members begin to nonchalantly walk down the ramp, berating any fan who is stupid enough to hurl abuse their way. A Scorpio-sized ‘AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!” ‘OI OI OI!’ chant goes up in Telstra Dome to the amazement of Zack and Calvin, who continue to walk down the longer-than-usual entrance ramp. COLE Zack and Calvin are in foreign territory tonight! CABOOSE These Australians have no idea what respect is. These two men were OAOAST Champions! All of these fans should be clapping and cheering right now! The heels get to the ring and casually step up onto the apron and step inside what has been their own personal playground for nearly the last two years. But they are in foreign territory tonight, a place that they don’t know with people that don’t like them. Tonight they can’t lay claim to owning the ring, because the crowd, and the entire country, only has an allegiance with one man. COLE Zack Malibu and Calvin Szechstein, two former OAOAST World Heavyweight Champions, go up against Axel, a man who has never been in a World Title bout, and his partner, who has apparently beaten Zack and Calvin before. COACH Well apparently Axel’s partner has been a member of the roster, and they smoke, and the only guy I can think of that fits that criteria is… well, I don’t know anyone that fits that criteria that could possibly be here tonight! COLE Well I can only think of one option, and if I’m right, this is gonna be one hell of a night. CABOOSE It’s Outback Jack. Malibu's theme continues to play as Michael Buffer assumes the position and tries to announce the team over the hostile crowd. BUFFER Introducing Team Number One, at a combined weight of Three Hundred Ninety-Eight Pounds, Representing the Thrillogy, ZACK MALIBU and his Dream Tag Team Partner… CALVINNNNNN SZEEEEEEECHSTEEEEEINNNNNNN!! COLE Perhaps the greatest two wrestlers to ever align. Both have unparalleled speed, and World-class technical ability. Both can brawl with the best of them, and they both posses a limited power move set. "Getting Away With Murder" fades down, and Zack Malibu takes a microphone from ringside. ZACK You know, I've realized why they call this place "Down Under". It's rather appropriate for a bunch of gutter dwelling boomerang tossers like the lot of you! CROWD BOOOOOOOO!!! ZACK Twenty four hours...TWENTY FOUR HOURS to get to this place, for this match? A challenge from yet another lowlife Aussie, your hero, Axel! *The crowd roars at the mention of Australia's favorite son, then segues into another anti-Zack chant.* ZACK You people make me laugh. Axel...AXEL is your pride and joy, and you boo ME? You people are so desperate for wrestling, so desperate for a brush with stardom, and you don't realize it wouldn't be possible without ME! ME! I GAVE THIS TO YOU! I ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE, SO SHOW ME SOME GOD DAMN RESPECT! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM!? CROWD You-are-awank-er! CLAP-CLAP-CLAPCLAP-CLAP! You-are-awank-er! CLAP-CLAP-CLAPCLAP-CLAP! ZACK A what? A WHAT? CALL ME ALL YOU WANT, BUT YOU'LL NEVER EVER BE ME! YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ON TOP! THAT'S WHY YOU'RE FROM DOWN UNDER! BECAUSE YOU HAIL FROM A HELLHOLE, AND AFTER I GET DONE WITH AXEL AND HIS DREAM LOVER TONIGHT, I'M GONNA PISS ON YOUR SOIL, SPIT IN YOUR FACES, AND NEVER COME BACK AGAIN! Zack looks over at Calvin who just shrugs in agreement, possibly an effect of the slight tension that seems to be coming over the both of them. Candie softly tells Zack to relax, and he stops dead in his tracks at the sight of his concerned girlfriend. ZACK I'm sorry...baby, I'm sorry. It's just these people and their disrespect... CROWD She’s-a-crack-whore! CLAP-CLAP-CLAPCLAPCLAP! She’s-a-crack-whore! CLAP-CLAP-CLAPCLAPCLAP! Candie's jaw drops, and Malibu charges to the ropes, nearly falling over them as he leans over to jawjack with the crowd. ZACK DON'T YOU EVER TALK ABOUT MY BABY LIKE THAT! THAT'S MY GIRL! MINE! I'M ZACK MALIBU AND YOU DO NOT TREAT THE THRILLOGY THIS WAY! WE ARE WHAT YOU CAME HERE FOR! RESEPCT IT! CROWD You-are-awank-er! CLAP-CLAP-CLAPCLAP-CLAP! You-are-awank-er! CLAP-CLAP-CLAPCLAP-CLAP! Zack starts to fume as the huge crowd continues to taunt him. ZACK I SAID SHUT UP! CALVIN, GET THEM TO STOP! SOMEONE, I SWEAR TO GOD I'LL SHUT THIS SHOW DOWN, AND THEN YOU WON'T GET YOUR MONEY MATCH! YOU WON'T GET THE MAIN... THE LIGHTS GO OUT!! Two flaming staffs appear at the top of the ramp! COLE Oh my! The crowd ROARS as one, as drums begin to play, the same drums that played at License to Pin: This Ain’t Oz. The guitar kicks in with the drums as the music starts to get louder, until… OW-A-A-A-A!!! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!! CUE: “Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed Every single man, woman, and child in the arena gets ON THEIR FEET and SCREAMS THEIR FUCKING LUNGS OUT as the great Disturbed song continues to play loudly. The staffs are the only lights on in the arena, and they create a spotlight for the entrance way. COLE Here he comes! Suddenly, the entrance ramp in front of the curtain creates a wall of fire! COACH What’s going on? Suddenly, a figure appears behind the flames! The silhouette begins to walk up to the wall of flame, before walking straight though the fire to revel… AXEL! COLE Axel is stepping through the flames! Amazing! BUFFER And introducing their opponents, first, a native of Tasmania, AUSTRALIA (HUGE pop), weighing in at Two Hundred Fifty-Five Pounds... AXXXXXXXXXXXXEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLL!!! Axel steps out of the flames and gets to the top of the entrance ramp, before surveying the arena, and looking around at his fellow countrymen. He steps between the flaming staffs and begins to walk down the ramp methodically. His glance is now directly on the two individuals inside the squared circle. Axel gets to halfway down the ramp, the arena still completely in darkness, and stops still. Then, without warning, he strikes the crucifix pose… BOOOOOOOM! The staffs go out, as does the circle of fire and the arena lights come back on. COLE Axel is here, and man does he know how to make an entrance! COACH He’s smart. Axel knows that he should wait for his partner before he enters that ring with Zack and Calvin. And now, will all be revealed? COLE All right...Zack Malibu is out here...Calvin is out here...Axel is out here...There's only one person left. COACH I'm calling Jessica Alba...that's who his Dream Tag Partner is! I think that's who I'd pick. COLE ...You would think that, wouldn't you? COACH At least twice a night. Axel slowly develops an evil smile on his face as the lights fade out...the cheer of the fans rise. The moment of truth is here. For two weeks, rumors have been floating around as to who the mystery partner is...now the fans will find out. "VIVAAAAAAAAAAA LAS VEGAS" CUE: "Warsaw" by Joy Division -THE FANS GO APESHIT!! As Ian Curtis says the numbers, letters hit the screen. 3-R 5-A 0-G 1-D 2-O 5-L GO!-L Suddenly, the lights turn back on and standing at the top of the screen, beside one of the most beautiful woman in the world...the greatest wrestler never to wear the belt... RAGDOLL!! CABOOSE WHAT THE FUCK? COLE Oh...my...God... COACH THIS IS EVEN BETTER!!! The fans start to chant "Welcome Back" as Buffer takes the mic once again. BUFFER "And his partner...from Las Vegas, Nevada...weighing in at 200 pounds even...accompanied to the ring by "The Vegas Rose" Jasmine Burns...the man, the myth...the Icon....THIS...IS....RAAAAAAAAAGDOOLLLLLLLLLL!!!!" COACH I do not believe this...Fans, last we heard of Ragdoll, he was still in the Betty Ford Center, trying to clean up...his heroin and alcohol abuse are well documented from the beginning of this year...my god...Ragdoll is back!! CABOOSE No… NO! COLE It All makes sense now...all the hints...not seeing eye to eye, Axel and Ragdoll...the pack of cigarettes...Fans...this is truly mind-blowing...probably the greatest X Champion ever is back in the OAOAST... In the middle of the ring, Zack and Cal's faces are pale...they look, as the cliché goes, as if they've seen a ghost. Zack backs up slightly and runs his hands through his hair, as Calvin just stands in the middle of the ring, his jaw nearly to the canvas. Meanwhile, Ragdoll walks down the ramp, taunting his two opponents in the ring, before looking at Axel, both men now grinning an evil, mischievous grin. Ragdoll joins Axel at the bottom of the ramp, the two men nod to each other...AND THEY STORM THE RING!! COLE And here we go!!! The two friends and partners slide into the ring and run toward their adversaries, Axel to Zack and Ragdoll to Calvin. Both pairs of men begin to exchange right hands, and more right hands, but Axel and Ragdoll get the edge. Double Irish Whip by Axel and Ragdoll, Zack and Calvin go to the other side of the ring… but they slide out! COACH Aww come on! CABOOSE Hey, they’re taking a break! They’re allowed to do that! COLE Zack and Calvin have a severe case of ‘lack-of-testicle-itis’! Zack and Calvin both wave off their opponents and begin to walk back up the ramp, with the intent of getting out of Australia as fast as they possibly can. Axel and Ragdoll look around at the crowd who begin a loud ‘Fuck ‘em up Axel, Fuck ‘em up! CLAP CLAP! Fuck ‘em up Ragdoll, Fuck ‘em up!’ COLE Equal opportunity fans here in Australia, they want one of these guys to F**k somebody up! COACH Michael! Language! COLE What? Axel and Ragdoll see that their opponents are getting away and the referee is beginning to count them out, so they exit the ring themselves, and run up the ramp chasing their adversaries. Zack and Calvin, their backs to the ring, suddenly get floored as Ragdoll and Axel take them out with hard shots to the back of the head! COLE Axel and Ragdoll aren’t letting Zack and Calvin get out of this match that easily! Ragdoll grabs Calvin by the head and Axel does the same to Zack, and the two fan favourites launch their foes back into the ring! Axel rolls in after them, but Ragdoll jumps up onto the apron, letting his partner start the match. Zack rolls out of the ring at the last second, preventing Axel from getting his hands on the former OAOAST Champion, but that doesn’t faze Axel, as he wants revenge on Calvin as well! Calvin charges at Axel and connects with a right hand to the side of the head, but Axel fires back with a right of his own. The two men exchange blows, with Axel getting the upper hand. Axel rocks Calvin with three hard shots to the forehead, before grabbing Calvin’s left arm and sending him to the other side of the ring for an Irish Whip. Calvin comes off the ropes and tries a clothesline on Axel, but Axel ducks under, Calvin turns around, and is met by a big Harlem Side Kick! COLE Man, great side thrust kick there by Axel, sending Calvin down to the mat! Axel wants to get a win for his home fans! Calvin gets to his feet and charges at Axel, pushing him back into the corner. Calvin connects with a hard right hand, followed by a knife edged chop! CROWD WOO! But the chop doesn’t have any effect on Axel, who comes back with a hard chop of his own! CROWD WOO! Axel connects again with another chop! And another! Calvin grasps at his now beet-red chest, but Axel just pushes his arms away, connecting with another chop, this time sending Calvin down to the mat! COLE Man! Axel is INTENSE~ tonight! Calvin pops up quickly again, but Axel catches him with both hands around his throat! CABOOSE Illegal choke hold! Disqualify him! Axel lifts Calvin up by the throat, and LAUNCHES him into his corner, before pointing right at Zack Malibu! COLE Axel wants Zack in the ring! Axel had Calvin reeling, but he wants Zack! COACH This could be a bad move by Axel, I know he wants revenge, but he was on a roll against Calvin there! Zack Malibu, looking slightly nervous for a second, tags himself in, before stepping through the ropes! The crowd goes apeshit! COLE Here we go! Axel and Zack Malibu in the ring together! The crowd is electric! The two bitter adversaries step forward so that they are face to face, neither making the first move, nor taking their eyes off of the other. Malibu begins the trash talk, and Axel responds with a sly smile, and says something that appears to unsettle Zack. Both men then step back and circle the ring, waiting for the other to charge. Axel is the first to charge, and Zack follows, with the two men locking up in a collar-and-elbow. Zack gets the advantage, getting a side headlock, but Axel pushes him to the ropes. Zack comes off and tries the shoulder block, but Axel doesn’t go down! Axel challenges Zack to do it again, Zack runs to the ropes, comes off and tries another shoulder block, but Axel still doesn’t go down! Axel challenges Zack to run again, Zack runs, but Axel trips him over, sending him down flat on his face! The crowd laughs at the former OAOAST Champion, who becomes enraged with this humiliation! COLE Axel outsmarted Zack on that exchange! Zack grabs his nose in pain, before brushing himself off, moving towards Axel and locking up again. Axel this time gets the side headlock, Zack pushes him to the ropes, Axel comes off, and sends Zack down with a hard shoulder block! Malibu starts to get up, and Axel backs into the ropes again, coming at Zack with another shoulderblock...but Zack uses a drop toehold to take the big guy down! Malibu slides across Axel's back, applying a facelock as he brings him to his feet, but Axel pushes him back into the ropes, forcing a break. Axel backs off cleanly, but Malibu lunges forward, raking his eyes to keep the advantage! Zack backs him up with hard right hands, sending him back a few steps each time he connects before Axel finds himself against the ropes. Zack takes him arm and whips him to the other side, then charges him as Axel rebounds, driving a knee up into his ribs with a kitchen sink shot! Axel doubles over, and Malibu yanks him up by the head, shouting in his ear that "this is what you wanted!" before raking his hands across each side of Axel's face! The Dark One swings blindly as he moves away from Zack, but the former champion spins him around and applies a facelock, quickly snapping him over with a vertical suplex. Zack follows up with a hard stomp to the head of Axel, before grabbing him by the hair and forcing him over to the Thrillogy corner. Zack makes the tag to Calvin Szechstein, and holds Axel’s arms behind his back, and Calvin takes advantage, driving a right hand into the midsection of the Dark One! COLE Zack and Calvin have the advantage; they seem to be working on the ribs of Axel. Hard shot there by Calvin, and Axel may be in trouble early here! Calvin connects with another right hand, this time to the temple of Axel, sending the Dark One staggering into a neutral corner. Calvin charges at Axel in the corner, and drives a knee right into his midsection, and Axel responds by crying out in pain! Calvin goes back and charges again, driving his knee into the midsection of Axel a second time! Axel continues to writhe in pain in the corner; Calvin goes back and drives a knee into the gut a third time! Calvin sets Axel up and sends him for an Irish whip, Axel goes into the corner, Calvin tries a clothesline into the corner, Axel ducks under, Axel runs at Calvin, but Calvin buries a right hand into the midsection of Axel, flipping him over and down to the mat! COLE My God! Axel just did a full flip from the force of that blow! CABOOSE And this is why Zack Malibu and Calvin Szechstein are the two greatest OAOAST Champions in this company’s history. They’ve created a weak spot, and they are exploiting that weak spot. Axel and Ragdoll don’t have a chance! Calvin drives an elbow into the ribs of Axel, before making the cover… ONE… TWONO! Axel kicks out. COLE First cover of the match, but only a two count. Calvin immediately gets up again and forces Axel over into the Thrillogy corner, before tagging in Zack again. Zack pummels Axel with a hard right, and a second hard right, which forces Axel back into the Thrillogy corner. Zack walks over to Ragdoll and flips him off, enraging the former X Division Champion! Ragdoll starts to get into the ring, but the referee restrains him, giving the Thrillogy a free pass to do whatever the want! Calvin holds Axels arms behind him in the corner, and Zack Malibu repeatedly drives his shoulder into the gut of the Dark One! Ragdoll realises what is going on, and goes back to his corner, forcing Calvin and Zack to stop the double team. Zack backs out of the corner, and Axel falls forward, onto his stomach. Zack looks down at his fallen adversary with a sick smile on his face, and then drives an elbow into the lower back of Axel, putting more pressure on the ribs. Zack connects with another quick elbow drop, and a third, before turning Axel over and making the cover… ONE… COLE Hook of the leg by Zack Malibu… TWOOOOOOOOOOOONO! COLE But Axel kicks out at the two! Axel’s ribs must be damaged right now, he’s the one feeling the pain! COACH I hate to agree with Caboose, but you’re right. These guys have picked a body part and they are totally dismantling it. Ragdoll will be lucky if he even gets into this contest. CABOOSE I told you so. Zack picks Axel up and locks in another front facelock, hooks the pants of axel, and takes him over for another vertical suplex. Zack floats over into a cover… ONE…. TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONO! Axel kicks out again at two. Zack forces Axel to his feet once again, and lifts him up by the neck and pants, before dropping him ribs first over his knee! Axel doubles over in pain from the impact move, and Zack drops another elbow, and goes into another lateral press… ONE… TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… THR-NO! Axel takes a fraction longer to kick out this time, but he still manages to kick out at two and a half. COLE To be fair to Axel though guys, Zack has been dodging the bullet over the past two weeks. Last week Zack cost Axel that match against Calvin Szechstein – Calvin was tapping out in the Devil’s Clutch, but Zack hit Axel with a brutal School’s Out that basically knocked the Dark One out. Zack then hit a POP Drop to add insult to injury, and left Axel easy prey to Calvin’s 450 Splash for the one-two-three. CABOOSE Well now Axel has his wish, doesn’t he? Axel is in the ring with Zack Malibu, and Zack is taking him apart! Zack picks Axel up again by the hair, taunting him, shouting “you think you’re good enough to be in this ring with me? I’ll end your career you stupid son of a bitch!” COLE Now look at Zack, just taunting Axel. Zack Malibu has absolutely no respect for anyone but himself and his friends! COACH Well Michael, Axel asked for this match, he wanted Zack in the ring! Zack waits for Axel to get up, and immediately locks in an Abdominal Stretch! Axel shouts out in pain, and the referee kneels in front of the Dark One to ask if he gives up! COLE Axel might give up here! It might be all over! Axel gives a resounding ‘NO’ to the referee, who stays in front of Axel, and keeps asking him! Meanwhile, Zack Malibu reaches over to the ropes, where Calvin is waiting! The two lock hands, creating more pain for the Dark One! COLE Wait a minute! The Thrillogy is gaining an unfair advantage here! Ragdoll is livid! Indeed Ragdoll is pissed off, and he tries to rally the crowd behind Axel. He starts a slow clap, which the crowd respond to, and soon all 57,000 people are on their feet, clapping as one, trying to get Axel back into the match! The referee checks Zack Malibu’s hands, but Calvin has since let go, and the referee is none the wiser! The referee goes back to asking Axel if he gives up, and Zack locks hands with Calvin again! COLE The extra leverage being created by the cheating of Zack and Calvin must be creating an incredible amount of pain for Axel! Surely he can’t hold on much longer in this match! CABOOSE He should just give up and stop the torture. Lesser men have. COACH Axel isn’t going to give up for his home crowd Caboose! All of these 57,000 people have put their faith in Axel tonight, and he doesn’t want to let them down! The referee checks Zack and Calvin’s hands, and sees them clasped together! He calls for the break, and Zack Malibu is beside himself! The referee begins to count, as Zack won’t break the hold! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! Zack breaks the abdominal stretch, and the referee has some harsh words for the former OAOAST Champion! COLE Yes! Finally the official has seen the blatant cheating from Zack and Calvin, and has put a stop to it! But Axel is still in trouble! CABOOSE Further proof that Axel can’t hang with these guys. Zack pushes the referee aside and walks over to where Axel is lying prone in the middle of the ring. He bends over to pick Axel back up… but Axel hooks in a Small Package!!! COLE Small Package! Small Package! Zack is stunned! ONE… TWOOOOOOOOO… NO! Zack escapes! Axel and Zack are both up quickly, Axle charges, but Zack takes him down with a vicious dropkick! COLE Axel surprised Zack with that small package, and almost got the win out of nowhere! CABOOSE But Zack had the presence of mind to not only kick out, but to get the advantage back as well. See what I mean? Axel begins to slowly get up, clutching at his now injured ribs. Zack grabs him by the chin and begins taunting him again, then grabbing his left arm and sending him for an Irish Whip. Axel reverses the whip, Zack comes off the ropes and tries a clothesline, Axel ducks under, Zack comes off of the other side, and Axel hits a HUGE SPINEBUSTER! COACH MAIN EVENT SPINEBUSTER BY AXEL! COLE Both men are down! CABOOSE Oh no… Zack! Get up! Tag Calvin! The referee surveys the damage, and then makes use of his ten count! ONE! TWO! THREE! COLE Both men are starting to stir, but can Axel make a tag?? FOUR! CABOOSE Go Zack! Tag Calvin! Hurry up! COACH Make the tag Axel, make the tag! FIVE! SIX! COLE Zack is reaching for his corner, and Axel is reaching for his corner… which man will get there? SEVEN! EIGHT! Axel and Zack both lunge… …And TAG RAGDOLL AND CALVIN AT THE SAME TIME! COLE Ragdoll is in! CABOOSE No! Get him Calvin, get him! Both men run at each other, and Calvin tries a right hand first… but Ragdoll blocks it, and connects with one of his own! Ragdoll opens up on Calvin, peppering his temple with hard right hands, rocking the former OAOAST Champion. Ragdoll grabs Calvin and sends him for an Irish Whip, Calvin comes off, and Ragdoll connects with a Spinning Heel Kick! Zack Malibu comes in to help his partner, but Ragdoll knocks him down with another Spinning Heel Kick! COLE Ragdoll is cleaning house! Ragdoll is on fire! Zack rolls out of the ring; Ragdoll turns around to face Calvin, who is now charging at him. Ragdoll ducks, and tackles Calvin to the ground! Ragdoll with more haymaker right hands to the head of Calvin Szechstein! The fans are going wild for Ragdoll! COLE This crowd is damn sure glad to have Ragdoll back in the OAOAST! Ragdoll runs over to the other corner and measures Calvin, who staggers to his feet. Ragdoll runs at Calvin… and hits a running Enziguri! COLE Deceptacon! Ragdoll hits Deceptacon! Cover! ONE… TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONO! Calvin kicks out at two! CABOOSE Oh thank god. COLE Would you stop cheerleading for the damn Thrillogy already? Ragdoll grabs Calvin by the hair and forces him to his feet, like the Thrillogy did to his partner earlier. He connects with a hard knife edge chop, followed by a boot to the midsection, Ragdoll sends Calvin for another Irish Whip, Calvin comes off the ropes, Ragdoll tries the clothes, Calvin ducks under, and hooks Ragdoll’s head… BOOM! Calvin hits a big neckbreaker on Ragdoll! CABOOSE There we go! COLE Big neckbreaker by Calvin Szechstein and Ragdoll is down! Calvin goes to work on Ragdoll, connecting with a number of hard boots to his back and head. He picks up Ragdoll and hooks his arms around Ragdoll’s stomach, and takes him over for an Overhead Belly to Belly suplex! Calvin goes into a lateral press on Ragdoll… ONE… TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO… NO! Ragdoll kicks out! COLE Do you think Ragdoll may have a little ring rust? To the best of my knowledge, he hasn’t been in a wrestling ring since he left the OAOAST some six months ago! CABOOSE Of course Michael! You can’t possibly think that Ragdoll can compete with Zack Malibu and Calvin Szechstein after being out of competition for six months! Calvin picks Ragdoll up once again and tags out to Zack Malibu. Zack comes in and straight away hits Ragdoll with a boot to the midsection, followed by a hard right hand. Ragdoll tries a haymaker, but misses completely as Zack ducks under, and connects with the Trendsetter! Zack hooks the leg! COLE The trendsetter by Zack Malibu! High Impact move! Cover! ONE… TWOOOOOOOOOOOOO… NO! Ragdoll gets a shoulder up! Zack grabs Ragdoll and shoves him over into the corner, tagging Calvin Szechstein back in. Calvin and Zack send Ragdoll for a Double Irish Whip, Ragdoll comes off the ropes; Calvin and Zack connect with a double kick to the midsection, and a Double DDT! The Thrillogy team-mates smirk at each other, and Zack points to the top rope. Zack goes back to his corner, and Calvin starts to climb to the top rope! COLE Calvin is going to take a chance here! Calvin gets to the top rope, and flips Axel off, infuriating the Dark One! Calvin flies off the top rope for his 450 Splash… … But Ragdoll MOVES! COLE Oh My God! The 450 Splash from Calvin Szechstein that did not compute! Nothing but canvas, and both men are down! The referee is using his ten count again! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! Zack Malibu and Axel are both begging their partners to get up, the crowd behind Axel all the way! FIVE! Calvin Szechstein starts to crawl over to Zack, beating Ragdoll, who is just starting to stir! SIX! SEVEN! Calvin tags in Zack Malibu, but Ragdoll still isn’t close enough to tag in Axel! Zack Malibu rushes into the ring, grabbing Ragdoll by the leg, and stopping him from making the tag, much to the chagrin of the crowd, and Axel! COLE Zack Malibu stopped Ragdoll from tagging in The Dark One! Axel wants in, but Ragdoll can’t get to him! CABOOSE Yes! That’s right Michael Cole; Ragdoll is too rusty to even think about winning this match! Zack Malibu keeps hold of the leg of Ragdoll, and Ragdoll gets up to one leg! Zack Malibu spins Ragdoll around on one leg, and Ragdoll goes for a DDP-like clothesline… but Zack has it scouted and ducks under, before locking in a sleeper hold! CABOOSE There it is! The sleeper hold! It’s all over boys! Ragdoll tries to fight out of the sleeper hold, but Zack keeps him position! Zack squeezes tighter, and Ragdoll goes down to one knee! Zack begins to taunt Ragdoll! ZACK YOU CAME BACK FOR THIS? YOU STUPID FUCKING ASSHOLE, YOU CAME BACK TO FIGHT ME? YOU WERE LUCKY TO BEAT US! COLE Zack Malibu is almost insane in taunting Ragdoll! Ragdoll is fading! Ragdoll goes down to both knees, and his arms start to fall limp by his side! Axel starts to shout, to scream at Ragdoll “KEN! FUCKING GET UP! GET UP!”, and jump around on the apron, with the crowd behind him. COLE Axel is pleading with Ragdoll to stay alive here! CABOOSE No chance in hell, ha-ha! Ragdoll’s arms become limp as they drop by his side, and the referee decides to start his three count. He lifts Ragdoll’s arm up high in the air, before letting go, and… …IT DROPS! COLE If Ragdoll’s arm drops three times, this one is over. Ragdoll isn’t showing any signs of life! The referee looks over to the time keeper, holding one finger up, and going back to Ragdoll. He lifts Ragdoll’s arm up high for a second time, lets it go… …IT DROPS!!!!! CABOOSE One more and it’d over! Hurry up ref, let’s finish this thing! The referee holds two fingers up to the timekeeper in a non-offensive way, and then goes back to Ragdoll! He lifts Ragdoll’s arm high in the air for a third, and final time, and lets go… CABOOSE YES! DROP! …It’s dropping… …dropping… …dropping… … BUT RAGDOLL KEEPS IT UP! CABOOSE No! COLE and COACH YES! Ragdoll begins to get an adrenaline rush, and Zack can’t believe it! Ragdoll gets up to one leg, and drives the point of the elbow into Zack’s gut! Zack tries to keep the sleeper applied, but Ragdoll connects with a second elbow to the gut! And a third! Zack breaks the hold just enough for Ragdoll to escape! Zack kicks Ragdoll in the gut, and sends him for an Irish Whip! Ragdoll reverses!

Zack Malibu JUST gets a shoulder up! COLE Two – he got him! Did he get him? COACH No! No he didn’t get him! CABOOSE Thank god, and thank you Vince and Vince’s evil twin. Ragdoll rolls off of Zack, and the two men, after a moment of stillness, begin to get to their feet. Zack is first to one leg, and Ragdoll crawls over to his corner. Zack lunges at Calvin… …And makes the tag! …BUT RAGDOLL GETS THE TAG TO AXEL AS WELL! THE CROWD GO INSANE! COLE Here we go!!!!!! The Hometown boy is in! Axel storms into the ring, and Calvin tries to reason with him, but Axel doesn’t want to hear it! Axel goes right for Calvin, Calvin charges, but gets taken down with a hard clothesline! Calvin is up quickly, but gets taken down just as quick with another clothesline! Zack Malibu runs at Axel this time, but Axel ducks, and takes him over with a High BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCCK BODY DROP! CROWD AX-EL! AX-EL! AX-EL! COACH Axel is INTENSE~! Calvin charges at Axel again, and jumps up on his shoulders, trying a Hurricanrana, but he fares about as well as he did last week on HeldDown, and Axel drives him down for a Sitout Powerbomb! Axel rolls out of it, runs to the ropes, comes off, and hits a knee drop to the head of Calvin! Axel mounts Calvin quickly, and connects with right hand after right hand to the head of the former OAOAST Champion! COLE Man, Axel is on fire here! I can’t believe it! CABOOSE Go for the ribs!

Zack breaks up the count with a vicious boot to the back of the head! COLE Now what was that? CABOOSE That was smart Michael Cole, that was smart by Zack Malibu! Zack is admonished by the referee for breaking up the count, so he returns to his corner. Axel slowly gets to his feet, holding the back of his head, visibly hurting from the hard shot. Axel makes his way over to Calvin, who has also reached his feet. Axel fires a hard shot to the head of Calvin, and Calvin fires back with one of his own. Axel fires another hard right hand to Calvin’s temple, and Calvin fires straight back again. Axel connects with a third right hand to the head of Calvin Szechstein that seems to take the former OAOAST Champion off balance! Axel hits another right hand, and another, with Calvin almost, but not quite, falling back! Axel goes for another right hand, but Calvin catches him with a well-placed thumb to the eye!

Zack, a look of shock on his face, can’t believe that Axel kicked out of School’s Out. His look of shock soon turns to one of disgust, as he looks down at Axel’s fallen form and looks at the crowd. ZACK IT’S OVER NOW! ITS POP DROP TIME BABAY! COLE Zack is calling for the end here! Zack grabs Axel by the hair and puts him in a front facelock, setting up for the POP Drop.

Ragdoll begins peppering Calvin with hard rights and jabbing lefts, forcing Calvin backward until he is against the ropes! Ragdoll takes a few steps back, charges forward, and takes them both over the top rope and out of the ring with a Cactus Jack Clothesline! COLE Ragdoll just took Calvin out of the ring, and possibly out of this match! CABOOSE That idiot! COACH They’re brawling up the ramp! COLE Both men are down in the ring! Yes indeed, Axel and Zack are now both down in the ring, but Zack is stirring! Zack rolls over onto his stomach, and sees Axel on the ground, not moving as a result of the Code Red Clash! Zack crawls over to his opponents’ prone form, and drapes an arm over Axel’s chest! The referee counts! COLE Not like this! ONE………………… TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO………… THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE……… NOOOOOOOOO! Axel JUST gets a shoulder up! COLE Axel just barely, and I mean barely got a shoulder up there! COACH But who can get to their feet first? Axel and Zack begin to show signs of life, as Ragdoll and Calvin brawl their way to the top of the ramp. Zack is up to one knee, followed closely by Axel. Zack is the first to get to one foot, but again, Axel isn’t close behind… COLE It’s a race to get to their feet! But who can get their first? Zack gets to his feet… but Axel joins him! Both men catch each other’s glare! COLE The staredown! The atmosphere in here is electric! The fans have been waiting for this! COACH Axel and Zack Malibu, in the ring, alone, one on one! CABOOSE But both men must be extremely fatigued by this stage of the match, and in that situation, you give the nod to experience. Go Zack! Axel looks around at the fans, who are now chanting his name. He takes a step toward Zack, and Zack does the same. The two men just stare at each other, face to face, man to man.

Zack strikes Axel with more blows to the head, but Axel gets another adrenaline rush and fights back! COLE They are going toe to toe here, beating the hell out of each other!

Axel hooked the head of Zack Malibu and locked in that Dragon Clutch he calls the Devil’s Clutch! Axel’s got it locked in! Axel locks Zack’s head and neck in the Devil’s Clutch, dropping down to the ground, and forcing Zack to his knees. He arches back on the hold, and Zack can be heard shouting ‘NO! NOO! AAAAAH!’ at the top of his lungs. The referee goes over to see if Zack gives up, but he gives a resounding negative answer! CABOOSE Zack won’t give up! He won’t! COLE He gave up against Crystal, and he can damn sure give up now! Zack begins to try and reach for the ropes with his free hand, as Axel has one arm locked behind his body, putting more pressure on his neck! Zack starts to reach closer, closer… CABOOSE Yes! Get to the ropes Zack! Reach! …BUT AXEL GRAPEVINES HIS LEGS AROUND ZACK, SO HE CAN’T MOVE! CABOOSE Oh, No… COLE Zack has no choice now!

Coming home, wrestling in the Main Event, and making Zack Malibu tap out! What a night for The Dark One! Ragdoll comes into the ring and gives Axel a hand up, before raising his arm in victory! Axel, tears welled up in his eyes, points to the whole crowd, and does the crucifix pose! COACH What a history making night! Axel is so emotional; he worked so hard for this moment! COLE This is a side of Axel that we have never seen, the side that appreciates where he has come from! CABOOSE I think I’m going to be sick! The referee hands Axel the HIYAH World Heavyweight Championship, and he asks for a microphone from ringside. Michael Buffer, obliges, handing Axel the SHTICK~! “Down with the Sickness’ dies down soon thereafter. COLE Axel has something he wants to say to these hometown fans! Axel, breathing heavily from the hard fought win, begins to speak to the 57,000 fans. AXEL After that, I’ve only got one thing to say… Axel is drowned out by huge ‘AX-EL! AX-EL!’ and ‘RAG-DOLL! RAG-DOLL!’ chants! COLE These fans appreciate what they have just seen! The chants die down, and Axel is given a chance to speak. AXEL Like I said, I only have one thing to say… AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE!

The crowd let out an almighty cheer as ‘Down with the Sickness’ starts up again, with Axel and Ragdoll continuing to celebrate in the ring. COLE What a historic night! HeldDown in Australia has been possibly the greatest HeldDown ever! We thank you for joining us on such a great night! Goodnight everybody! *Fade to Black* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adam 0 Report post Posted September 17, 2004 PROPS Papacita LaParkaYourCar Patty O’Green Tony149 Mystery Eskimo Hoff The Mad Cappa NYUntouchable Phoenix Fury Legdrop Nice Guy Adam From top to bottom, just an awesome show. This was my first time posting anything of this magnitude, and I have new found respect for those that do it each and every week. To Northstar and all involved in the 20 Man, awesome, awesome job. I’m not sure who else wrote the match, because Northstar was the one that sent it to me, but you did a great job. So if I have left anyone out of the props, please let me know and I will include them straight away. To Panther, NYU, Hoff (who I'm sure will send his stuff in soon) and Cappa (ditto), thank you for making the under card just so top-shelf. You do an amazing job week in, week out. To Tony and all those who contributed the promos, well done, they helped further angles, and tied everything in. Finally, to Phoenix Fury Legdrop, Tom, Sly, whatever you want to call the guy, to write a match of that magnitude must take hours, and hours of effort, and you ought to be congratulated for that. I think this has been the best HeldDown of the year at least, and you should all be very happy with your efforts. Very well done by all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
