Tony149 0 Report post Posted June 26, 2005 (edited) NY, if you can have Cole or whoever make a quick announcement during the opening about the tag title match not taking place due to a rib injury sustained by Sarcastic Simon thanks to Logan Mann and his nightstick a couple weeks ago, and how we'll have more info Thursday on HD, that would be great. “I’D EAT YOU ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVEEEEEEE!” [COLOR=red][B]BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM![/B][/COLOR] The crowd rise to their feet as "Eat You Alive" by Limp Bizkit hits, signaling the champion’s arrival. A fired up Axel, draped in his leather coat, emerges through a cloud of smoke, looking a bit naked without the OAOAST Title wrapped around his waist. Halfway down to the ring, he stops and points to both sides of the crowd, then the ring… [COLOR=red][B]BOOM![/B][/COLOR] …and strikes the Crucifix Pose, setting off another round of pyro. Axel walks up the ring steps and climbs into the ring, climbing up to the second turnbuckle and striking the CRUCIFIX POSE. "He's simply ravishing... [I]OWWWWWWW[/I]!" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" The OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion, Tony Brannigan, steps onto the stage admist a chorus of boos, the OAOAST Championship draped around the outside of his custom-made diamond and ruby-embroidered black robe. The silver rubies on the collar sparkling under the lights; on the back, outlined in diamonds is a silver star with "TONY BRANNIGAN" written over it. COLE I'm getting goosebumps just sitting here at Sofa Central listening to the reaction both men received. The crowd is clearly pro-Axel, but that doesn't bother the OAOAST Champion one bit. Brannigan very confident coming into this match. So much in fact that he took time out of training for this match to go to the San Antonio Spurs NBA Finals victory celebration held last night. He hopes not to play the role of the Detriot Pistons here tonight at the Great Angle Bash. Tony climbs up the ring steps and calls over Earl Hebner to hold the ropes up for him. He enters the ring and brushes Axel away. The Champion removes his belt and holds it up in the air with both hands, receiving tons of heat from the Axel fans in attendence. Axel keeping his eyes locked on the title in the background. We know what he wants. * DING * DING * DING * DING * BUFFER This is the Great Angle Bash main event of the evening, set for one fall for the Heavyweight CHAMPIONSHIP of the World! When the bell rings your referee in charge of the action, senior official Earl Hebner. Introducing first, the challenger, to my left. He is the youngest OAOAST Champion in history. Tonight he's eager to regain the championship he worked so hard to win at AngleMania IV, and looks to join Anglesault, Caboose and Zack Malibu as the only men in OAOAST history to wear the championship on two separate occassions. Ladies and gentlemen, from Tasmania, Australia, weighing 255 pounds; he is a former Heavyweight Champion of the World, this...is...AXEL! Axel takes a step forward...CRUCIFIX POSE~! "AX-EL!" "AX-EL!" "AX-EL!" The boo birds begin flying as Buffer raises the microphone to his mouth. BUFFER And his opponent, to my right. Wearing black with silver trim, weighing in tonight at 272 1/2 pounds, from Rancho Magnifico in Hollywood, U.S.A.; a former HI-YAH International and two-time OAOAST World Tag Team champion, and tonight he comes in as the reigning and defending HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD; he's simply ravishing....TONY BRANNIGAN! A few cheers scattered here and there, certainly more than Tony's used to, but the crowd is still overwhelmingly in favor of Axel. Seemingly unfazed by the crowd reaction, Tony takes off his robe and poses, including the HIP SWIVEL~! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, are you ready? Wrestling fans, are you ready? Then for the thousands in attendence and the millions watching around the world on pay-per-view; ladies and gentlemen, LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLE! "YEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Hebner is handed the belt which is raised in the air for all to see, then given to Michael Buffer to take back to the timekeepers table. * DING DING * The match begins with both men circling around the ring, the OAOAST Champion trying to psych out his opponent by doing a double bicep pose. Axel responds with his trademark CRUCIFIX POSE, getting the crowd rowdy. Collar-and-elbow tie-up, Brannigan wasting no time breaking the rules, RAKING the eyes. Right hand connects to the jaw. Brannigan with another. Axel sent head-first into the top turnbuckle. Tony takes Axel out of the corner, doubling the former World Heavyweight Champion over with a kneelift to the midsection, followed by a couple of elbows to the back of the neck that drop Axel to his knees. The Champion stands over his fallen opponent and swivels his hips a la the late "Ravishing" Rick Rude. "BOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE The crowd not liking the actions of the Tony Brannigan. Personally, I can't blame them. Brannigan is a very arrogant person. But you cannot take away what he's done over the last year. His career left for dead, Tony went on to become part of perhaps the greatest tag team of all-time, Black T, and winning not only the OAOAST and HI-YAH tag team championships but the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title as well. Only 10 men have worn the OAOAST Title; 3 of which have done it on two separate occassions. Axel hoping to become the fourth man in OAOAST history to do so. COACH Hey, you also gotta love the fact Tony wants to do this on his own. He doesn't want The Original Elite's, specifically CWM's help. COLE Axel doesn't want any help either. COACH Ah, I'd take Brannigan's word over Axel's any day of the week. Because like The Coach, Tony tells it like it is. COLE What's with all the Tony Brannigan love? Are you trying to weasel your way into his entourage? COACH The Coach may need a new pair of shoes, but that doesn't mean I'm trying to leech off the champ. Unless of course T-Brann would say so. I mean, there's things I can do J.R. can't. The OAOAST Champion arrogantly flicks the sweat on his forehead on Axel, picking him up and punishing him some more with those forearm shots. Irish wh-- No, countered. Axel counters the Irish whip and catches Brannigan on the rebound with a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! ONE... NO! Axel lets go and grabs his neck. His neck couldn't support all the weight from the bridge, not yet fully recovered from the attention it received earlier. Both men race to be the first to rise back to their feet. Tony misses a big lariat and is taken down with a Harlem Sidekick. The cover! ONE... TWO... TH-- KICKOUT! Tony catches Axel getting up with a kick. The two begin trading punches, Axel rocking Brannigan with a combination of rights and uppercuts. Brannigan swings and misses big. Axel with a STRONG clothesline to the back of the neck. Axel drops the leg across the back of the neck as Brannigan rises on all fours. The former champion taking the new champion over with a succession of snapmare takedowns. Kicking the champion hard in the back of the neck. He takes Brannigan up for a suplex, maybe for a brainbuster to continue focusing on the neck, but Tony stuns him with a slap to the gut, waistlocking Axel from behind and driving him straight into the corner where he repeatedly rams the shoulder into the back. Now kneelifts and forearm smashes to the small of the back. Tony turns Axel around and suplexes him out of the corner. Brannigan pops back to his feet and drops a round of elbows dangerously close to the throat -- so close he earns a warning from Earl Hebner. COLE Cover made, hooks the leg! ONE... TWO... TH-- KICKOUT. Brannigan sits Axel up and clamps a reverse chinlock, tightly squeezing the forearms across the sides of Axel's face. Hebner checks to see if the chinlock might be an illegal choke. It isn't. Axel summons the support of the crowd and gets to a vertical base, countering the chinlock into a back suplex. Tony rolls onto his side, Axel grabbing him with a waistlock to prevent Brannigan from getting up first. Brannigan blocks an attempted German Suplex by wrapping his left leg around Axel's. Standing switch. Now it's Tony who is trying to get Axel up for a German. Another standing switch. Axel pounding the back of Brannigan's neck with forearm smashes, weaking Tony enough to take him over for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Axel heads to the top. He times his flight and levels the World Heavyweight Champion with a TOP ROPE CLOTHESLINE! The cover. ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! Waistlock applied, Axel taking Tony up in the air and crotching him on his knee, compressing the spine with an inverted atomic drop. Brannigan squats around like he's sitting on a toilet, grimacing in pain. Axel stops Tony from trying to bail out of the ring, pulling back on the airbrushed tights of the champion and revealing Brannigan's perfectly tanned buttocks. Many of the fans laugh, with plenty of screaming female fans. Atomic drop! The OAOAST Champion pauses mid-ring in tremendous pain, the sweat rapidly dripping down his face and ripped chest. COACH Tony Brannigan may be the only guy in the world who manages to still look F-I-N-E -- fine -- while getting beat up. COLE My God, Coachman! You are looking to replace Jivin' J.R. Brannigan taken off his feet with a vicious lariat. He gets back up just to go back down. Chants of "AX-EL" echoing through the arena. Irish whip. Back bodydrop by the challenger. Axel CLOTHESLINES Tony over the top rope to the floor. He follows suit, going after Brannigan on the outside. Tony rammed head-first into the ring apron. Axel whipping the champion to the guardrail and clotheslining him against the railing. Axel gets a good 10 feet back and charges Brannigan, missing an avalanche splash and hitting nothing but the steel guardrail. Tony grabs a fan's can of BUDWEISER... "This Bud's for you!" ...and BASHES it against Axel's head! He follows up with roundhouse rights and forearm smashes. Tony locks on a front facelock and suplexes Axel on the arena floor! Brannigan steps on the apron and sticks his upper body through the middle rope to break up Earl Hebner's count. Once complete, Tony steps back out and drops an elbow from the apron! Cocky as ever, Tony Brannigan turns his back to a beautiful female fan ringside and clinches his buttocks in front of her! She reaches over the railing and squeezes Tony's BUTT cheeks until the always dependable Carl Winslow puts her in her place, drawing a huge "WINSSSSS-LOOOOOW" chant. Brannigan pats Winslow on the shoulder and tells him to "send her to my dressing room." Winslow nods, very slowly climbing over the guardrail, getting a good push from Tony, and escorts the lady away. Tony very nonchalantly picks Axel up, allowing the challenger to put Brannigan in a waistlock and drive him into the edge of the ring apron. An uppercut jerks Tony's head back, causing it to snap off the middle rope. Axel walks over to a fan who just happens to have on one of his t-shirts and grabs a can of FOSTER'S BEER. Axel pulls the tab, takes a sip...takes another and... No, he takes one more sip... "Foster's: Australian for beer!" ...then SMASHES it in to Tony's forehead! "YEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH"! Axel throws the smashed beer can into the crowd, and Brannigan back into the ring. The cover! ONE... TWO... TH-- NO, KICKOUT! COLE Tony Brannigan just nearly became the first man in history to ever job due to a beer can. Front facelock into a STALLING VERTICAL SUPLEX by Axel. He steps on the apron and climbs up the turnbuckles, reaching the top in no time. He positions himself to his liking and dives off. TOP ROPE ELBOW DROP! ONE... TWO... TH-- SHOULDER UP! "YEEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH"! COACH Did--Did... Was it just me, Mikey, or did the crowd actually cheer Tony's kickout? COLE It wasn't you. I heard the exact same thing. What you're witnessing here tonight may be history in more ways than one. We may be seeing two warriors becoming legends in front of our very eyes. We just nearly saw a new World Champion crowned. But the current OAOAST Champion, Tony Brannigan, isn't giving up easily. 3 years paying his dues. Career left for dead. He even began doubting himself. I think the fans are beginning to see, that behind all the arrogance of the World Heavyweight Champion is a man who does have a heart. It may be black like his Black T and Original Elite partner Dan Black, but he has a heart. Axel goes back to the top, his hands locking together as he comes down. Tony puts the FOOT up in the air, but Axel grabs it on the way down and tries to turn him over in a single-leg crab, better known as the Axel Grinder, but Brannigan fights it off by kicking the challenger in the head with the heel of his silver boots. Axel lets go of the leg and shakes loose the cobwebs. As he turns around, he walks right into the clutches of the OUT-OF-BODY EXPERIENCE -- but drives the point of the elbow into the shoulderblades of Tony as he's spun around, causing Brannigan to free him. Single-leg takedown into the AXEL GRINDER! Almost immediately Brannigan screams in pain, shaking his head and yelling "no." Axel pulls back tighter on the leg, but Tony still won't quit. The World Champion stratches and claws his way to the ropes, Hebner demanding Axel to break before the 5 count. On 4 1/2 Axel breaks. Brannigan uses the ropes to pull himself up. Axel suplexes him back to the center of the ring. He picks Tony up and kicks him in the JAW with a standing ENZURIGI! ONE... TWO... TH-- NO! The crowd CLAPS. They're happy to see this match continue. COACH I've never seen this type of reaction before, M.C. It's off the charts. COLE One of the most surreal things I've ever seen in my 8 years in sports entertain-- I mean, wrestling. Both men earning tons of respect tonight at the 2005 Great Angle Bash. Axel setting Tony up for either a piledriver or powerbomb. Most likely the latter, as Axel likes to use a sit-out powerbomb. Earl Hebner walks over to the corner and kicks a BEACH BALL out of the ring, which allows Tony Brannigan to nail Axel with a LOW BLOW, drawing a loud pop from the crowd. Earl turns around just in time to see Brannigan set Axel up for the ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT PILEDRIVER! His knee trembling, on the verge of buckling, Brannigan drills Axel head-first into the canvas with the AAP. But he can't make the pin. Still reeling from the enzurigi. Both men are down, sweaty, breathing heavily. And they're doing this all in the name of the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title.

Both men are down, sweaty, breathing heavily. And they're doing this all in the name of the OAOAST World Heavyweight Title. COLE This match goes goes to prove exactly how much the OAOAST Championship means to these two men. But there is one major difference between them. Tony Brannigan will do anything in or outside the rules to remain the champion. Axel, while intense, is a little more conservative with his actions inside the squared circle. Tony is the first to get to his feet, hopping on one leg as a result of the battering that his leg has sustained. Axel is second, utilising the ropes to get to his vertical base, and clutching at his now injured neck. The challenger charges at Tony Brannigan, landing a right hand, which sends Tony backward, and trying to keep on his feet. The champion comes back with a right of his own to the temple of Axel, a right hand that is soon responded in kind quickly by the challenger. After three more of these right hands each, it is Tony who gets that all important advantage with another veteran move, the trusty thumb to the eye. Axel's hand instinctively goes up toward his eye, and Tony takes advantage of his, grabbing Axel by the head and turning him around, before dropping the challenger with a NECKBREAKER! Cover by Tony Brannigan! ONE... TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONO! Axel gets a shoulder up right after the count of two. COACH Tony Brannigan with a beautiful neckbreaker on Axel, he's really zeroing in on the challengers neck. CABOOSE Wow, and I thought Cole was the only mark on the team. I thought you were just really stupid. COLE Well we don't pay you to think! CABOOSE :O COLE MADE A FUNNY! Brannigan slaps the mat in fury at the kickout, and immediately goes to work agailn on his opponent with vicious right hands to the face. The referee utilises the five count because of the blows, and Brannigan breaks at four, wanting to get a pinfall or submission victory over Axel. He reiterates this point by sticking both his knees into the back of Axel and wrenching back on his head and legs into a surfboard submission, which has the challenger in agony. Axel soon rolls out of the hold and onto his feet, but not without showing some signs of serious pain in his back and neck. Tony is at his feet too, but is a little better off than his challenger, as he connects with a European Uppercut that sends Axel's head snapping back, and injures his neck even further. COLE Nice European Uppercut by Tony Brannigan there, Dan Black has obviously brought a lot of the catch-as-catch-can style to this company. Brannigan grabs the left hand of Axel and Irish Whips him into the ropes. Axel comes off, ducks a clothesline, comes off the other side, and LEAPS into the air ala the Undertaker, taking Tony Brannigan down with a HUGE LARIATOO!! COLE What athletisicm! With both men down, the referee begins his ten count.... ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! Both starting to stir... SIX! SEVEN! EIGHT! Both men are... NINE! ...UP! "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH!" Tony charges at Axel, Axel blocks a right hand, and BOOM! delivers one of his own! And another! A third! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! COACH Cover up Tony! CABOOSE Axel is laying the Smack Down! COLE And we're gonna get sued! Boot to the midsection by Axel... and an UPPERCUT drives Tony to the mat! Axel flashes the crucifix pose, grabs Tony to his feet, hooks the head.... EVENFLOW DDT! COVER! ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!! NO!!!!!!!!! Tony kicks out! COLE Tony Brannigan just managed to kick out after that high impact move by Axel! Tony gets up, and eats a clothesline! The champion gets up quickly, and eats another! COLE Axel is getting his second wind! Axel signals to the crowd that its time to end the match, and the massive sold out crowd respond in great cheers! Axel picks Tony up and sends him for an Irish Whip... ...Tony reverses... ...OUT OF BOD-NO! Axel floats over, Tony turns around... ..SPINEBUST-NO! Tony floats over and pushes Axel... ...INTO THE REFEREE! COLE Uh-oh, Earl is down! COACH Disqualify him! With the referee down, Axel turns around to meet a boot to the midsection by Tony, who tries to set him up for another Attitude Adjustment Piledriver, but Axel stands up and backdrops Tony out of the hold! Tony turns around, boot to the stomach, front face lock... ...BRAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIINBUTAHHHHHHHHHHHH~!!!! ...BUT NO REFEREE! COLE BRAINBUSTER DANNNNNGEROOOOOOOOUUS!! CABOOSE But no one to count the pinfall! COACH Who said that was going to be a three count? COLE Well now we will never know, as Earl Hebner is down, and - oh dammit! Look who it is! Just as Axel was about to signal for the Axel Slam, none other than OAOAST Original CWM runs to the ring, obviously with bad intentions. He hops up onto the apron, just as Axel is turning around... and is given a rght hand by the challenger, knocking CWM off of the apron! COLE CWM eats a right hand! But wait a minute! Axel turns around.... ...BLACKOUT! OUT OF NOWHERE COMES DAN BLACK! CABOOSE God Dammit! COACH That's TEAMWORK! Dan Black completes the move just as Tony Brannigan is trying to get to his feet, but the referee is still down on the mat! Dan helps Tony up, and CWM soon joins them in the ring... but here comes DREK STONE AND THE GPX! COLE We've got full-scale GANG WARFARE going on here! Drek and GPX storm the ring, and immediately go toe toe with the new Original Elite. Scotty and Johnny are trading right hands with CWM and Dan Black, but it is the young Upstart tag team that get the advantage with a pair of Low Blows! Meanwhile, the OAOAST Champion Tony Brannigan is going at it with Drek Stone, with the champion gaining the advantage. Johnny Jax capitalises on the low blow to CWM by hooking him in a pumphandle, and hitting the BEAT DROP! Jax then runs over to Static, aiding him in sending Dan Black to the outside with a double clothesline over the top rope! COACH This is great! The Global Party Exchange! COLE But you were cheering for Tony... COACH I'll cheer for whoever I want to cheer for dammit! Tony seems to be gaining the advantage on Drek Stone, but not for long, as GPX come in and help Drek with the beat down. Tony is soon prone, giving Drek a chance to capitalise with a boot to the midsection, followed by a vicious STONECUTTER!!! COLE Wow! Stonecutter on Tony Brannigan! Static is on the top rope, waiting for Drek to complete the move... STATIC SHOCK! He lands the Static Shock on a prone and knocked out Tony Branngian! COLE Two finishing moves by this young degenerate group! And now what? Oh no! Axel doesn't want to win like this! Drek and GPX grab the fallen challenger and pull him onto Tony Brannigan for the cover. At this moment, the referee wakes up just a the right time to make the count! ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! "YEEEEEEEEEEBOOOOOOOOOOYEEAAAAAAAAHBOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE Dammit! We've got a new OAOAST Champion, and that wasn't how it was supposed to happen! "Death Blooms" starts up over the loud speaker as the referee raises Axel's hand, and drapes the belt over his chest! COACH Is Axel in cahoots with this group? What the hell just happened? COLE We've got a new champion, thats what happened! BUFFER Here is your winner, and NEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWW ONE AND ONLY ANGLESAULT THREAD WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION... AAAAAAAAAXEEEEEEEELLLL! COLE Well Axel is now a Two Time OAOAST Champion, but the real story here is Drek Stone and the Global Party Exchange costing Tony Brannigan the title! COACH Wait a minute Michael, The Original Elite were going to cost Axel the title, but now Drek and GPX costed Tony the title! I'm confused! Where does this leave Tony Brannigan? Where does this leave Axel? Where does this leave the OAOAST??? COLE I have no idea, but I can only hope to find out this Thursday night on HeldDown! Axel, awoken from his magical concussed slumber, leans up against the ropes, staring a hole in Drek Stone and GPX< who are saying that they won him the championship, as we bring The Great Angle Bash to a close.
