Stephen Joseph 0 Report post Posted September 27, 2005 (edited) COLE Stephen Joseph and Tony Brannigan are going to start us off here folks. These two have quite the history going back to the very first days of the company. COACH That's right, they shook the house down with a 60 minute Iron Man Match that ended with a tie! They were once very good friends, but now their differences of opinion over the direction of the company have broken that bond. CABOOSE Gooooo TONY! Stephen Joseph slaps out his arm, twitching his fingers and limbering up, darting left and right sizing up Tony, who's gained a bit of muscle mass due to his heavy wrestling schedule. Tony plays a calm collected veteran, sizing up his anxious opponent. With a simple wrist motion, Tony calls in Stephen Joseph to a standard lockup. Stephen struggles in the collarbone tieup, and Tony gets ready to push him down with a forceful push. SJ decides instead to dip to his right, pulling Tony along by using his fall as deadweight. Tony flops onto his stomach closer to the PR/SJ corner. Stephen immediately sinches in a headlock before Tony can get himself up. SJ is laying out full length with his feet under the ropes. COACH Stephen's working the neck as part of his and PR's gameplan, both of their movesets focus in on the neck and shoulder regions. Tony starts slapping the mat, wriggling a bit to undermine the locked hands and elbow wrench Stephen has on him. He gains a bit of room, and moves his left arm from under SJ to over SJ, and begins to club on the back of SJ's head. SJ quickly breaks the hold and drops a quick elbow. Tony ROLLS OUT OF THE way. He deftly picks SJ up and in one fluid motion hits a Russian Leg Sweep, sending SJ back first into the mat. Tony thinks about another Russian Leg Sweep, picking SJ back up. He takes too long though, and SJ cups his neck with his elbow and falls backward, Reverse DDT! SJ with a quick cover across Tony's shoulders, getting a 1 count!. Tony kicks out quickly but SJ is relentless, hitting several quick shots flush to Tony's jaw, backing him towards PR! Stephen Joseph tags in PR while holding Tony in the corner, exposing his ribs for PR to land a hard left shot! Cole Classic double team tactics here folks. Isolate your opponent in the corner. PR unloads with some rights and lefts as the ref begins his five count. At 4, Puerto tags back in SJ, who pulls back on Tony's neck to allow PR a perfect chopping opportunity WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! SJ enters between the ropes and slaps PR on the back, the pull Tony out and double whip him across the ring, and when he comes back they flapjack him across the top rope, drawing the ref's admonishment, the crowd's gasp, air away from Tony, and boosting their ego. SJ doesn't let this momentum get in the way though, he's not celebrating. SJ tags back in Puerto and sends Tony across the ring with an Irish Whip. As Tony comes back, PRL has positioned himself on the ring apron, holding the ropes perpendicular to Tony's route. SJ executes a perfect drop toe hold and rolls away, with Puerto Rico coming over the top rope with an over the top rope helo legdrop on the back of Tony's neck. Dan Black cringes in the corner as the ref asks SJ to leave the ring. He does, but immediately Puerto tags SJ back in. A groggy Tony is slowly picked up by Puerto, almost to the three count as SJ scales the top turnbuckle. Puerto places Tony into the Electric Chair position, and SJ comes off the top, the pair hitting a DOOMSDAY DEVICE~! SJ covers as Puerto slides back to their corner. 1! 2! 3! NO! Tony gets a shoulder up at the last moment. Dan starts to clap in his corner, drawing the fans together for loud stomping and cheering. SJ turns to glare at Dan Black, and callously pulls Tony up, signaling for the Synchronicity Driver! COACH This could be over fast folks! Both hands clasped around Tony 's throat, Stephen smiles, but Tony clears his head for a brief moment and grabs SJ's waist, picking him up and driving him down with the OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE! Both men are down! COLE Both men are down! Can Tony Brannigan make the tag to the fresh Dan Black? 1! 2! Tony eyes look up to see Dan's hand straining halfway across the ring. 3! 4! 5! Tony starts crawling as SJ begins to stir... 6! Almost there 7! SJ gets to his feet and lunges for Tony! TAG CABOOSE Time to go to school Dan! COLE Hot tag to Dan Black! The crowd is cheering! SJ backs up but Dan won't have any of it, Rights and lefts from Dan, backing SJ into the ropes. Dan shoots SJ across, and with a back body drop to boot! PR faints coming in, drawing the ref over and Dan Black as well. Stephen darts a low blow behind the ref's back, and hooks a leg. 1! 2! NO KICKOUT! Stephen slaps the mat, coming so close after cheating to almost win. He yells at the ref for a few moments, turning his back to Dan Black. COLE So close right there, but cheaters don't win. COACH Bush DID! Stephen recants and turns his attention back to Dan Black, but Black is right there with a THUNDEROUS CLOTHESLINE FROM THE ARCTIC DEPTHS OF DESPAIR (okay, I'm stretching here, but damn it was a nice clothesline). Dan Black pulls SJ over to HIS corner, and makes the tag to Tony Brannigan. They both whip SJ out towards the middle of the ring, but pull him back and into a DOUBLE ROCK BOTTOM~! Tony B with the cover! 1 2! 2 and a half....! 3! NO! The sly SJ got his foot on the rope! Tony spares no time to tagging back in Dan Black, sending SJ across the ring. Tony lifts SJ up flapjack style, and Dan connects with a BLACKOUT (Diamond Cutter). CABOOSE YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH! Dan with the cover! 1! 2! NO! Broken up by PR! Dan chases PR out of the ring, yelling and gawking. SJ rather, groggily, starts to get up and notices Dan's back is to him. With all his strength SJ slaps on a full-nelson and tilts over into a FINALITY~! COACH That's the ticket! SJ, near his corner, makes his way crawling over to HOT TAG PR! Puerto Rican catches Dan just getting up with a high knee lift, then runs a big time elbow right into the jaw of Tony Brannigan. He turns back to a staggering Dan Black, locks in a waistlock, and sends Dan Black over with...not 1, not 2, but 3 ROLLING GERMAN SUPLEXES! PR stands around to cheer himself, and the crowd cheers back. But it's because Tony is behind him, and when PR turns around, Tony his HIM with a true OUT OF BODY EXPERIENCE. But SJ is behind him, and slaps on the full-nelson again, and hits TONY BRANNIGAN with the Finality. SJ cheers and whoops and hollers, and turns right into Dan getting up and hitting THE BLACKOUT again! SJ just falls faint to the mat. Dan stands up, and looks to the crowd, but Puerto Rican comes over and grabs Dan across his body, delivering PR clears house, Tony out of NoWhere with the OUT OF BODY, SJ from behind with the FINALITY, and Black with the Black out, and by this time PRL is groggy but gets the CORP NIGHTMARE! Puerto Rico stands and applauds, but a masked man runs out from the ringside area. He scales the turnuckle as PR turns around, and hits him with a crossbody, and then a standing 450 splash! COLE Spanish Fly! Spanish Fly! CABOOSE Yes! No! Yes! No! COACH I can't believe that! No! Tony comes back in and tags himself in from a near out Black, and slaps down a FROSTBITE FACELOCK to Puerto Rico! The crowd can't believe this, but Puerto's got his arm raised! He's going to! He's going to! Puerto's arm falls after 20 seconds in the FaceLock! The ref checks on him, The Arm Falls one! The Arm Falls Twice! The Arm! Does it? Will it! SJ's back in the ring. He dives over. PR's ARM FALLS! SJ hits Tony on the back of the head, breaking up the hold! But the ref signals for the bell. PR didn't make the three count! He's out cold! Tony rolls out of the ring and is clasped by Dan Black and SJ attends to Puerto Rico CHIMEL Ladies and gentleman, your winner by submission, TONY BRANNIGAN AND DAN BLACK, BLACK TEEEEEEEEEE!!! COLE WHATTA MATCH! CABOOSE DAMN POPICK SHOULDVE LOST NOT PRL ARRRRGHHH! COACH Talk like a pirate day was like week matey. CABOOSE I hate you. Black and SJ roll out of the ring, Spanish fly from NOWHERE comes out, hits a 450 splash on PR, and Tony puts on the Frostbite Facelock for the tapout victory.
