[b][i]"In a world full of posers, phonies, and pure wannabees,
there finally emerges a group
which has come to set the record straight.
so, all you suckers better recognize, ya heard
can you say uhhh na na na na..."[/i][/b]

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Emerging through The Upstarts' seperate entrance way on the stage, the two-time World Tag Team Champions The Global Party Exchange stop side by side, smirking at the negative Nova Scotia reaction. Fellow Upstart Jamie O'Hara follows The GPX out, as they begin to stride confidently down the aisle.

Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is your Thirty Minute IronTag Match for the OAOAST World Tag Team Championships! In this match, the team that scores the most falls in the thirty minute time period, be they by pinfall, submission, countout or disqualification, will be crowned the World Tag Team Champions! Introducing first, the challengers. Being accompanied to the ring by JAMIE O'HARA! At a combined weight of four hundred, seven pounds...the former, two-time, OAOAST Tag Team Champions... JOHNNY JAX... SCOTTY STATIC... THE GLLOOOOOBBAAAALLL PPAAAARRRRTTYYY EEEEXXXCCHHAAAAANNGGEEEEEEEE!!!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Entering the ring, the trio of Jax, Static and O'Hara congregate on one side of the ring. Jax and Static climb up adjacent turnbuckles and raise their arms in the air, as O'Hara points a finger up to both GPXers.

COACH (jumping out of his seat)
YEAH! DA'S RIGHT~!

CABOOSE
For the love of God calm yourself down and shut yourself up. Now.

COLE
The Global Party Exchange know what it's like to be the Tag Team Champions, but they haven't tasted that gold for some time now. They're still searching for their third reign as Tag Champs and have been doing their best to make the Champions' lives hell ever since they lost at World Without End, in order to goad them into a second title match tonight. They have cost Leon Rodez the World and X-Division Titles in the past two weeks alone. So they may just have something coming to them, tonight.

CABOOSE
Oh, believe me, I'm counting on it.



BUFFER
And, the opponents...

Cue the drumroll, as "Beverly Hills" by Weezer starts up bringing the crowd to their feet. The fans clap along with the song as Leon Rodez is first to emerge from The Originals' entrance, closely followed by Zack Malibu and of course, Candie bringing up the rear. And what a rear LOL2005. Rodez does a quick 360 on the ramp with a beaming smile on his face, showing off his glistening canary yellow robe to all. Behind him, Zack wraps an arm around Candie, who pats his World Tag Title belt.

[b][i]"BEVERLY HILLS,
THAT WHERE I WANT TO BE!
LIVIN' IN BEVERLY HILLS
BEVERLY HILLS,

BUFFER
Accompanied to the ring by CANDIE! Hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan and Providence, Rhode Island respectively...they weigh in at a total combined weight of four hundred, twenty eight pounds. The reigning, defending, OAOAST WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS... "SILKY SMOOTH" LEON RODEZ... ZACK MALIBU... THE UUSSSSSUUUUAAAAAAALLL SSSSUUUUUSSSSSPPEEEEECCTTSSSSSSS!!

"YYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

Reaching the ring, Rodez does a quick Candido strut™ down the length of the ring. Zack and Candie stroll a few strides behind, while Leon leaps into the ring and squares up to the challengers w/associate. The three on one odds don't phase Rodez, as Zack enters the ring behind him and the assigned referee Brian Hebner keeps the two teams apart.

COLE
A lot of combustable elements in that ring tonight. No love lost between these two teams, that's for sure.

Trying to gain order as soon as possible, Hebner quickly orders Candie and O'Hara to leave the ring. Rodez and Zack meanwhile go into conference as they remove their Tag Titles, talking over last minute strategy. The GPX briefly do the same across the ring. As all this is happening meanwhile, a timer appears in the bottom right of the screen signalling the 30:00 limit on the match. All seems to be sorted now and both teams are ready, with Rodez elected to start for the champions, while Johnny Jax kicks things off for The GPX.

*DINGDINGDING!*

The bell rings and immediately, the timer begins to tick down. 29:59. 29:58. 29:57. You get the idea. It's like a clock, see. While the timer on the big screen has started meanwhile, Leon Rodez's watch hasn't. Possibly because it's actually wristtape...who knows? But his attempt to start it fails though, so he shrugs and decides to get on with the match.

*SLAP!*

Jax is already a step ahead though, slapping the taste out of Rodez's mouth as he steps forward! On the floor, O'Hara is in hysterics, as Jax is all like 'whassup now, dawg'. So Rodez responds by...locking Jax in a side headlock and taking him over to the canvas.

COACH
The hell is that?

COLE
Well, this match will go 30 minutes Coach. No point in coming out in top gear and wasting your energy right at the start.

Keeping the headlock applied, Rodez rolls through and over Jax, then pulls Jax back up. Jax quickly fires off a shot to the gut of Rodez though. And another. But Rodez responds with another quick side headlock takedown, again rolling through and again dragging up Jax from the mat and with the headlock still applied. To his feet, Jax goes to the gut. And again. And a third time, finally breaking the headlock. Free at last, Jax takes advantage of it, hitting the ropes and firing off a clotheli...NO! Rodez ducks...and takes Jax over with another side headlock! Static fumes on the apron while Jax fumes on the canvas, slamming his fists into the canvas in frustration. Which Rodez cheekily tells Hebner is a tapout, but unfortunately Hebner isn't blind or stupid. Rodez settles for just wrenching on the headlock then. Pushing himself to his knees, Jax begins to fight back to his feet and pulls Rodez back with him into the ropes, right beside Static who slaps his partner on the back as he sends Rodez off across the ring.

COLE
Blind tag from The GPX! Great tag team wrestling from the challengers...

As Rodez hits the opposite ropes and rebounds, Jax leapfrogs him sending him right into Scotty Static's path. But Rodez skids to a halt and boots Static in the gut before he can do a thing! Turning around, Rodez then boots Jax as well, before applying the headlock again. Standing in front of this, Brian Hebner quickly informs Rodez that Static is now the legal man. So, Rodez grabs a headlock on Static too! Both GPXers are under control as Rodez jumps up...with a headlock on both men though, Rodez can't take either other. That allows The GPX to catch Rodez in mid-leap and set him for a double back suple...



...NO, Rodez floats over, just as Zack enters the ring and charges through The GPX with a double clothesline! Both of the challengers quickly roll the hell out of the ring to regain their bearings, as Zack and Rodez exchange a high-five...and a hug, which Zack is a little taken aback by.

COLE
...and great tag team wrestling from the Champions also! For a team originally thrown together by chance, Zack and Leon have developed into a great tag team combination.

CABOOSE
Although it pains me to admit it, you're right. I'm surprised Zack is getting along with this oddball as well as he is.

On the outside, The GPX regroup with O'Hara...

"UP - STARTS SUCK!"
"UP - STARTS SUCK!"
"UP - STARTS SUCK!"
"UP - STARTS SUCK!"

...and the fans let them know exactly what they think of them. That doesn't bother the challengers too much though and after a quick group huddle and a rousing cry of "TEAM!", Static rolls back into the ring. Striding forwards, Static then sizes up to Rodez and encourages him on. Rodez holds up a hand telling him to pause though, before backtracking and holding out a hand, which Zack promptly tags.

"YYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

The crowd pop for the OAOAST's one and only Franchise, as he enters the ring with a wry smile on his face. Static scowls at the reaction Zack gets enviously. But he soon shrugs that off and we're ready to go again as Zack and Static square off, before locking up in the centre of the ring. A brief struggle ends with Zack applying a side headlock. Rodez applauds the move, trying to convince the first two rows that "I taught him that". Meanwhile, Zack wrenches on the headlock until Static begins to show some resistance, taking another page out of Rodez's book and going for the takedown...but Static blocks. The Franchise ends up on hands and knees, pausing in confusion momentarily, long enough for Static to tumble over with an Oklahoma Roll...



1...




2...



Zack kicks out and away, rolling to his feet in the corner.

COLE
Notice, Zack very cautious to begin with. This first fall is always such a crucial fall in Iron Man Matches.

Static gleefully tells Zack just how close he came to getting pinned, as the OAOAST's favourite father to be gets his head straight in the corner. Zack and Static then lock up again. Strongest of the two, Zack pushes Static back into the corner and holds his head back, while Hebner orders a break. Giving the break on 4, Zack slowls backs away, but Static tries to catch him with a cheapshot. Zack blocks though, swatting away the arm and hitting Static with a Corner Dropsault! Landing on his feet, Zack then charges with the shoulder...but Static moves and Zack clatters shoulder first into the ringpost!

"OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
Nobody home! And Zack could have dislocated his shoulder very easily on that charge!

CABOOSE
Which'd make the next 27 or so minutes rather uncomfortable, to say the least.

A concerned Candie rushes over to check on Zack, who remains slumped over the middle turnbuckle. Meanwhile, Static tags in Johnny Jax. Running down the apron, Jax wastes no time in grabbing Zack's arm and wrapping in back around the ring post! And a second time! Zack howls in pain, as Jax then takes the arm and leaps off the apron, snapping the arm across the middle rope! Zack rolls away clutching his arm, as O'Hara and Jax exchange a high-five on the floor.

But in the meantime, Zack is desperately trying to get over to his corner and make the tag. Luckily, one of The GPX is alert, Johnny Jax quickly running into the ring and booting Zack in the back of the head before leaving the ring again just as quickly. Leon protests, but Hebner just asks him to calm down. 

"LET'S GO ZACK!"
"LET'S GO ZACK!"
"LET'S GO ZACK!"
"LET'S GO ZACK!"

Static rolls back into the ring and sneers at the crowd, as he boots Zack. Another boot connects before Static goes back to the arm, pulling The Franchise up to his knees before slamming him arm-first back down to the mat. Static follows that up with another quick boot, as Rodez can only watch on in despair.

COLE
The GPX are playing this well, capitalizing on the weakened state of Zack's shoulder, and persistence like that is what leads to a payoff...in this case the World Tag Team Titles!

Static leads Zack to his feet, then quickly takes the wrist and wrenches the arm, yanking on it to tear it from it's socket and further injure Zack's bruised shoulder.  Scotty wrenches a second time, but this time Malibu fights through, quickly countering by twisting Scotty's arm and then snapping him to the canvas with a Russian Legsweep!  Zack quickly rolls to his corner and tags in Rodez, then turns to Static, who starts to sit up...and delivers a running soccer kick to the back!  A sharp pain races up his spine, and Scotty cringes as he gets to his feet, only to be rocked with an inverted atomic drop by Zack just as the five seconds allowed for a double team expires.  Static reels, and Zack drops and rolls out of the ring, leaving the stunned Upstart to get caught with a diving huracanrana from the Silky Smooth One, as he leaps from the top rope and takes Scotty over!  Static rolls near the ropes, and Rodez readies himself for action...until Jamie O'Hara reaches in and drags Scotty out by the ankle, sparing him from the momentum that the champions have gained in the past several moments!

CABOOSE
In a match where every second counts, the GPX are doing their best to halt the efforts of the Usual...LOOK OUT BELOW~!

"YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The crowd explodes, as Rodez, undaunted by O'Hara's "save", dives over the ropes with a corkscrew bodypress onto both his legal opponent as well as the cornerman, O'Hara!  Scotty is quickly put back between the ropes, but after Leon sends him in, he's yanked off the apron by Jax!  Static keeps Hebner busy by feigning grogginess, and using the ref as an aid in getting to his feet, but when Jax doubles Leon over and sets him in a standing headscissors, he finds himself backdropped onto the ringside floor!  The fans applaud the escape, and Leon takes a breath before turning around...only to get BLASTED by a running flip senton by newcomer O'Hara!  The cocky youngster pounds his chest and stares into the sea of fans with a smug look across his face before tossing Leon back into the ring, where a rested Static awaits.

COLE
The three on two situation has already become a factor here in the early going, and normally even Candie would be of some assistance, but I'm shocked to even see her out here in her pregnant state.

CABOOSE
As am I.  I know she loves her man and supports the champions, but knowing what the Upstarts are capable of, it's a greater risk than usual.

Leon comes up to his feet, but when he does he's caught off guard with a European uppercut that knocks him against the ropes.  He's then shot across the ring by Static and pulled up into a tilt-a-whirl, but Leon manages to spin out of Static's planned offense and pull him to the canvas with a crucifix!

UNO!

DOS!

DOS!

Two is all it is, as Static escapes the crucifix, and grabs Leon and cracks his head over his shoulder with a hangman's neckbreaker as they're both coming to!  Scotty starts stomping Leon down, drawing a large amount of boos from the crowd, and then follows up by leaping into the air and dropping a knee across his throat!  As Leon gasps and gags, Scotty moves towards his corner and makes the tag to Jax before returning to his opponent and shooting him into the ropes, catching him on the rebound with a backbreaker, but he leaves him draped across his knee, allowing Jax to enter the ring via flying elbowdrop that folds Leon's body over!

COACH
Double trouble on the real!  

CABOOSE
What!?

COLE
I think that was ebonic praise.

CABOOSE
Oh.

Static exits the ring without any argument, while Jax bounces off the ropes and falls forward, dropping an elbow across the back of Leon's neck.  He rolls Rodez over and covers, but then quickly pushes up off the canvas and turns to the corner of the Suspects.  Glaring at Malibu, Jax brings Rodez up to his feet, but then lets go and rushes the corner, nailing Malibu with a cheap shot!  Zack reels as Jax cowardly backs away, and then takes full advantage of the situation when Malibu tries enter the ring.  Hebner gets caught up with Malibu's attempted entry, and this allows Static to aid his partner, as Jax catapults Leon towards the corner, only for Scotty to run in and blast him with a lariat, sending him falling backwards onto Jax's exposed knees!

COLE
Another double-team tactic by the GPX drains Rodez of his energy, and leads the challengers closer to gaining the first fall of this contest!

Jax gets up and stands over Rodez, but as he and Scotty loom over the fallen champion, Hebner turns around and catches them in the act!  He goes to usher Scotty out of the ring, but Jax claims that he made a tag, and that Scotty is the one who belongs in the ring.  Hebner doesn't believe him, but ushers him out of the ring anyways, leaving Static to deal with Rodez.  He brings Leon up and drives two forearms across his face, then leads him to the GPX corner and tags Jax back in.  Together they send Rodez into the ropes, pressing him up into the air on the rebound...AND THEN THEY HURL HIM OVER THE ROPES OUT ONTO THE RAMP!

*THUD!*

COLE
My God!  Leon Rodez was just slammed hard on the raised rampway!

Zack looks on in concern for his partner, watching him reel on the rampway.  He goes to check on him, only to notice Jax racing across the ring and leaping onto the top rope...but Zack pushes him off before he can complete the springboard!  Jax lands on his feet and takes a shot at Zack over the ropes, but Malibu ducks it and nails him with a shoulderblock through the ropes.  He then slingshots himself into the ring, scissoring Jax's head as he lands, and brings Johnny up onto his shoulders, racing across the ring with him in his arms before planting him with a running sitout powerbomb!

COACH
That's not legal, Hebner!  I watch enough Law & Order to know that!

CABOOSE
OK, Coach, you really need to know something about your sense of humor.  It might help you in the long run.

COACH
What's that?

CABOOSE
YOU TRY TOO HARD.

Coach, for once in his life, is right about Hebner not being cool with Zack's intrusion, as he orders the Preppy One back out onto the apron.  Zack obliges, having bought his team enough time that Rodez could recover.

COLE
Zack's emotions are getting the better of him in this feud, and that's apparent.  You can't blame him after everything the GPX has put him through in the last six months.

CABOOSE
He should just be thankful that Hebner didn't DQ the team for not adhering to the five second rule.

COACH
Hebner would have DQ'd them for eating food off the floor?

CABOOSE
What did I just say?

Rodez lingers into the ring, his back still sore from the throw.  A weary Jax is just coming to after being drilled with the powerbomb from Malibu, and as he does Rodez brings the match back to a slow pace, grabbing a side headlock!  He wrenches Johnny's head, but Jax manages to slip his head out, and then spins Leon around, driving his boot into Rodez's stomach.  He lifts him off the mat for a powerbomb, but Leon slips out, landing on his feet, and then blasts Johnny with a chop!  And another!  And another!  He backs Johnny to the ropes and then fires him into the far side with an Irish whip, but Jax reverses the momentum and sends Leon in, catching him on his way back with a sleeperhold!

COLE
Good move by Jax here to slow the pace down.

CABOOSE
I've got to agree.  The whole purpose of an Iron Man, or in this case an Iron Tag match is to see who can endure it the most, not who can gain the most falls.  If the GPX can keep the Suspects at bay long enough to let time dwindle down and get just one pin, submission, or what have you in, that's all they need.

Jax keeps the hold locked on tight, and with Rodez caught in the middle of the ring, he's got no mean to break.  Hebner keeps an eye on them both, watching as Leon struggles to free himself, to no avail.  

COLE
We might see the first fall of the match take place right here, because it looks like Leon is fading fast!

Rodez continues to struggle, but he's forced down to one knee by Jax, who snickers as he keeps the pressure on.  Referee Hebner looks on, and noticing that Rodez's eyelids are getting heavy, he takes Rodez by the wrist and raises his arm up once...only to watch it fall right back down!

CABOOSE
You're right Cole, Rodez is going out!

Hebner raises the arm a second time, and it falls...but not all the way down, as Rodez quickly stops his arm from dropping.  He pushes up, getting to his feet, and then spins to the side, ramming his elbow into Jax's ribcage repeatedly until the cocky Upstart is forced to break!  With Jax stunned, Leon shoots him to the ropes, and catches him on the rebound with...A SLEEPERHOLD!

COLE
Turnabout is fair play!

The crowd roars as Leon locks on the same hold that almost did him in, and Jax squirms around in panic, trying to free himself!

CABOOSE
Going by my watch, we've just closed in on twelve minutes, so the halfway point is almost here.  Whatever team can get the first fall, if they can keep the other team at bay and slow the pace, they could walk out of here with a one fall win.  It could be all that's needed!

Jax tries to get free, and copies Leon's earlier tactic, twisting to his side and ramming his elbow into the stomach of Rodez.  Leon doubles over, and the more powerful of the two GPX members then lifts him up across his shoulders and jumps backwards, crushing the Silky Smooth Superstar with a Samoan Drop!  With his foe down, Jax tags in the fresh man, and Static enters by running towards Leon's fallen body and dropping a leg across his throat!  He then brings Leon to his feet and drives a knee into his gut, then a second one, and then fires himself into the ropes again, bouncing back and grabbing Leon's head, twisting around in the air before spiking him with a DD...NO!  Leon shoves Scotty away, and then charges with a lariat...BUT GETS BACKDROPPED OVER THE ROPES!  Leon lands on his feet and reaches in, yanking Scotty down to the canvas before springboarding off the top rope and into the ring with a springboard version of his patented 450 Splash...but Scotty gets the knees up...SO LEON LANDS ON HIS FEET!  

COLE
He countered the counter!

Leon runs the ropes, hopping over Static, who rolls onto his stomach and stay low.  Leon rebounds again, and this time Scotty springs up and leapfrogs over him, but after the leap Leon stops short and spins Scotty around and hiptosses him to the canvas!  Scotty gets up and steps back, but Leon is in pursuit, grabbing him by the wrist and sending him across the ring to the corner!  Leon follows right behind, and when Scotty uses the momentum to jump up onto the second rope, Leon yanks him down by the waistband, rams his head into the turnbuckle, and then holds him in a front facelock.  Leon then hops up onto the ropes and twirls his finger in the air, and the crowd goes wild as he kicks off the turnbuckles and swings around, spiking Static with a Tornado...NO!  Scotty puts on the brakes, and then hurls Leon over his head, UPSIDE DOWN INTO THE TURNBUCKLES with a release Northern Lights Suplex!

COACH
Yeee-ouch!  That sucka got tossed and mighta cracked his hat rack!

CABOOSE
Do you realize you take the Civil Rights movement back several steps every time you speak?

Malibu and Candie look on in concern, as Static gets up and wraps Leon's legs around the top turnbuckle, trapping him in a Tree of Woe!  He then moves across the ring to the opposite corner and charges, sliding towards Leon's face with a baseball slide, and drilling his feet into his cheek!  Leon falls off the ropes and lands with his face smacking the canvas, and Static rolls him over, hooking a leg in an effort to secure the first victory of the IronTag match for his team!

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

CABOOSE
We're coming up on the halfway point right now guys.  These two teams have gone through a lot in the last fifteen minutes.

COLE
We started with a slow pace, but that has picked up tenfold, especially in the last several minutes.  The time has flown, and we're slowly easing into crunch time.

Static picks Leon up, but as he does Leon takes him down and cradles him in a small package, stunning him with his own pin attempt!

COLE
THIS COULD BE IT!

ONE!

TWO!

NO!

Static kicks out, and as the two get up they both deliver clotheslines, and wipe each other out!

CABOOSE
The GPX have done a wonderful job in keeping Leon Rodez busy, and distracting him from making a tag to Zack.  One of the main points in this match is that in a tag team situation, you always have the fresh man on the apron...however it's that elusive tag that needs to be made.  Static and Jax have done a hell of a job wearing the youngster out, and unless he can get Malibu in the ring sometime soon, he's going to succumb to the two Upstarts.

Leon rolls onto his stomach and looks up, seeing his partner leaning in and calling for the tag.  Rodez starts towards him, moving slowly, but as he inches towards the corner, Static rolls over and pushes himself up onto both knees...and he lunges forward, grabbing Leon by the ankle!

COLE
C'mon Leon, fight him off!

Rodez tries to kick off, but Static keeps a firm clutch around the ankle, preventing him from tagging in The Franchise of the OAOAST.  Rodez hops up onto his free foot, hoping to hop out of Static's grip, but Static voluntarily lets go, and quickly hooks a rear waistlock, then tosses Rodez overhead with a release Ger...NO!  Rodez counters again, landing on his feet, but when he spins Static around he catches a kick to the stomach and is lifted up for a powerb...NO!  He blocks that by slipping out, but as he catches his fall, Static catches him off guard, and butterflies his arms before lifting him up vertically and sending him headfirst into the canvas with his patented Spiked Punch brainbuster!

COLE
Ooooooooooooooooooh!

CABOOSE
Butterfly Brainbuster, known as the Spiked Punch, and I hate to say it, but I think the GPX have just gotten the first pinfall in this contest!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING!  DING!  DING!

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the first fall, The GLOBAL PARTY EXCHANGE!  The score is now 1-0 in the favor of the GPX!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
First Fall:GPX

Scotty Static pins Leon Rodez with Spiked Punch at 16:49

GPX-1, Suspects-0

Time remaining: 13:11
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The crowd boos loudly, as Jax snickers on the apron and O'Hara bounces up and down like Tigger on speed at ringside.  Static sits up and rolls to his corner, tagging in Jax, who comes in and quickly starts putting the boots to Rodez before dropping to his knees and wrapping his hands around Leon's throat, choking him out!

COLE
Oh yeah, now that's a smart move...get disqualified as soon as you get the advantage!

That doesn't happen, as Jax releases the choke when Hebner protests it, however he does stretch across Rodez and hook a leg, going for the GPX's second fall!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-NO!  KICKOUT!

COACH
Well, I didn't expect that!

Malibu breathes a sigh of relief, but Jax is angered by Leon's kickout.  Thinking the count may have been too slow, he covers again, and both watches and counts along with Hebner as he pins Leon's shoulders to the canvas.

ONE!

TWO!

T-KICKOUT!

Jax's eyes widen, and he gets up off Rodez and looks around, then points a finger at Hebner, complaining about the count!  Hebner tells him that he just counted along with him, so how can there be anything wrong with it?  Jax says to forget it and turns his attention back to the worn and wounded co-champion, blasting him with a right hand that staggers him during his recovery.  Johnny fires off another one, and this one drops Leon to one knee.  Jax then hits the ropes and comes off, charging fast towards Leon...but Rodez leaps up into the air and nails him with a desperation dropsault out of nowhere!

CABOOSE
Jax just took one on the chin, albeit differently than how our man Coach is used to!

COACH
Ye...HEY!

Jax rubs his jaw as he comes up off the mat, and notices Rodez struggling to reach his corner.  He gets to his feet and charges, blasting Leon across the back of the neck with a forearm, and then carries him over for a back suplex...but Leon floats through, and then drops to all fours and crawls through Johnny's legs, lunging towards his corner and tagging in Malibu!

COLE
THE TAG HAS BEEN MADE!

Malibu wastes no time, slingshotting in over Johnny's head and rolling him up in a sunset flip, looking to tie things up!

ONE!

TW-NO!

Johnny rolls backwards to escape the pinning predicament, and as he gets to his feet he hooks both of Zack's legs, yanking him up off the canvas and catapulting him over the top rope...BUT ZACK SKINS THE CAT~!, and as he floats back into the ring, he traps Johnny's head between his legs and pushes off the top rope, sending himself into rotation, going around and around Johnny's head like a human helicopter blade before snapping Jackson to the canvas!

COLE
Multiple revolution headscissor by the popular prep has Jax reeling!

Johnny gets up quickly, but he's dazed, and Zack rushes to him and scoops him up across his shoulders, walking towards center ring where he begins spinning himself around again...and again...AND AGAIN...AND AGAIN~!

CABOOSE
Airplane spin!

The crowd roars as Zack keeps going and going and going, dizzying himself and his opponent in the process!  Having seen enough, Static rushes into the ring to save his partner...but Malibu sees it coming and times the next spin just right, cracking Static across the face with Jax's boots, and then he ceases the airplane spin, dumping Jax on top of Static for good measure before collapsing himself!

COACH
What an idiot!  He took as much out of himself as he did the Jax-man!

CABOOSE
Wait, since when do YOU get off calling Zack Malibu an idiot?

COACH
Hey, you guys love him, maybe I just gotta shake things up a bit.

Malibu shakes the cobwebs loose and comes to, just as the GPX is getting to their feet...and he blasts them with a double clothesline to put them back on their backs!  Static rolls out of the ring to avoid any more damage, but when Malibu hits the ropes, he's tripped by Jamie O'Hara, who quickly spins around to face the crowd and feign innocence!

COLE
There's that numbers advantage they have, while time is ticking away here tonight!

CABOOSE
We're just past the 22 minute mark, and if the Suspects don't at least tie it up in the next few minutes, the GPX are walking out of the arena tonight sixteen pounds heavier, and it'll be because of the gold around their waist!

Hebner shouts over the ropes at O'Hara, who turns around and acts like he has no idea what's going on.  A frustrated Malibu gets up and moves towards the ropes, but Jax attacks from behind, and then sets Malibu up in a pumphandle position, pulling him onto his shoulders for the BEAT DROP...but Zack slips out and lands behind him!  He takes Johnny's head in a rear inverted facelock, but before he can do anything besides hold Johnny still, Static comes running in...right into a kick to the stomach!  Malibu uses his free arm to take him by the head, and now that he's got both GPX trapped, he drops to the mat, spiking each of their heads with a standard DDT and inverted DDT respectively~!~!

COLE
Double DDT to both Static and Jax!  

CABOOSE
Now's the perfect time to cover!  C'mon Zack!

Malibu quickly hooks Jax's leg, and Static is in no shape to help his partner out!

ONE!

TWO!

KICKOUT!

"Boooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

COLE
Johnny Jax got his shoulder up at the last possible second!  Malibu is going to have to keep the momentum going in his favor, he can't let the kickout take him off his game.

Zack pulls Johnny up, allowing the cocky youngster to hobble on spaghetti legs as he's blasted with blistering chops from Zack!  He takes Johnny and sends him in, but Johnny reverses, sending Malibu into the ropes...AND ZACK REBOUNDS WITH A YAKUZA KICK TO JOHNNY JAX~!  Jax takes a flip bump off the move, landing hard face-first on the canvas, and Malibu senses that it could be enough to put him away!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE...NO!  ELBOW TO THE BACK OF ZACK'S HEAD BY STATIC BREAKS UP THE PIN!

CABOOSE
Dammit, get him out of there Hebner!

Hebner chastises Scotty, ordering him out of the ring, but the official soon finds himself tossed aside, as Leon Rodez enters and starts pummelling Scotty with lefts and rights, trading hands as he connects with each jab before the series culminates in Static getting blasted with a discus clothesline!  Leon then takes Static by the waistband and hurls him over the ropes, out onto the ramp, and now this leaves Jax all by his lonesome against both of the World Tag Team Champions!

COLE
The numbers are now, for once, in the favor of the Suspects!

Together, Leon and Zack launch Johnny towards their corner, and the man known as "Jam" hits hard and slouches against the turnbuckles.  Leon then takes his own partner and starts to whip him in, but Malibu swings around and it's Leon who is sent to the corner, crashing into Johnny with a diving corner splash!  Leon then takes Johnny and crotches him on the top rope, and then motions for Malibu to charge him.  Zack gets a full head of steam and races across the ring, right towards his partner, who cups his hands and elevates Zack up into the air, onto the shoulders of Johnny Jax so that he can be snapped back to the canvas with a SUPER HURACANRANA~!

COACH
DAYUM~!

Malibu gets up, and quickly rushes the corner, tagging Leon in legally.  Rodez then races across the apron to the opposite corner and climbs quickly, disregarding his normal play-to-the-crowd routine as he hits his patented 450 SPLASH with mere minutes left in the contest!

CABOOSE
Because The Lady Loves, and EVERYONE loves it here tonight, because the Usual Suspects are just three seconds away from tying this up!

Leon covers Johnny, who has no wind left in him, making even something as simple as kicking out a major process!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

DING!  DING!  DING!

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlmen, scoring their first pinfall of the contest, THE USUAL SUSPECTS!

Second Fall:The Usual Suspects

Leon Rodez pins Johnny Jax with Becase The Lady Loves at 25:21

GPX-1, Suspects-1

Match is tied at one fall each.
Time remaining: 4:39

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

COLE
They did it!  They have tied it up with just over four minutes left in this contest!

CABOOSE
If both of these teams can hang on, we're going to be going into Sudden Death, folks!

COLE
Four minutes left, with the teams tied at one fall apiece!  It's going to come down to the wire!

With Jax still gasping for air after being struck with the splash, Rodez moves out to the apron, and sets himself up to launch onto Jax yet again...but when he springboard up, he's yanked down to the apron by O'Hara, who has jumped up onto the apron with him!  An eye rake follows, and Jamie quickly pulls Rodez into a standing headscissors despite the protests of referee Hebner...BUT HE'S THWARTED BY A RUNNING YAKUZA KICK BY ZACK THAT KNOCKS HIM TO THE FLOOR~!

CABOOSE
Good night, Jamie O'Hara!

The newcomer rolls around in agony at ringside, as Zack exits the ring before Hebner needs to ask, allowing the referee to keep his attention on Rodez and Jax so that no pinfall attempts go unnoticed.  Rodez rubs his eyes and regains 20/20 vision, and then proceeds to do what he does best, and that is fly into the ring with a springboard version of the 450, although this time he's unable to counter the block when Johnny Jax gets his knees up, and Rodez takes them both in the ribcage!

COLE
Leon Rodez could have finished Jax off right there, but Johnny did what he needed to do to prevent getting struck with another fatal move!

As Rodez reels, Static starts climbing the corner, as he's not returned to his corner since getting tossed out to the ramp.  He climbs up and turns to face the crowd, nodding his head before shouting "STATIC SHOCK" out to the crowd, who respond with jeers aplenty.  Seeing this, Malibu shakes the ropes, looking to knock Scotty off balance, but when that doesn't work he races over and starts climbing the ropes, trading punches with Scotty Static!

COLE
Static's not even the legal man!  Just let Hebner get him out of there!

CABOOSE
No, let Hebner do his job and keep an eye on Rodez and Jax!  There's no time to waste, which is exactly what the GPX are trying to do!

Malibu and Static brawl on the ropes, and Scotty keeps knocking Zack down, not letting him up on the ropes with him.  Malibu reels from a punch that knocks him down to the ramp, then turns and races up the ropes again, this time grabbing Scotty by the legs and putting him across his shoulders, while sitting and facing the rampway.

COLE
What is he doing?

CABOOSE
He's...he's not going to do what I think he's going to do.

With Scotty Static up on his shoulders, Malibu kicks off the turnbuckles, floating over through the air and crashing onto the raised rampway with Scotty Static now under him, crushing him with the HONOR ROLL~!

CABOOSE
YES HE IS GONNA DO WHAT I THINK HE IS~!  HONOR ROLL ON THE RAMP~!

"HOLY SHIT!"
"HOLY SHIT!"
"HOLY SHIT!"

The crowd is electric, watching as the small timer on the corner of the AngleTron has ticked down to just about two minutes now.  In the ring, Rodez and Jax are both up on their feet trading chops.  Leon stuns Johnny with a headbutt and then hits the ropes, but when he comes off Jax grabs him and spins over quickly, drilling Rodez with a brutal powerslam, staying atop him for the cover!

ONE!

TWO!

THR-NO!  KICKOUT!

Jax pounds the mat in frustation, but as he looks up the ramp, not only does he see his partner in no shape to help out, but he sees the time ticking down.

1:58
1:57
1:56

COLE
We're under two minutes, but all either one of these teams need are three seconds!

Jax brings Leon up, but then sweeps his legs out from under him, driving the back of his head into the canvas with a quick STO takedown!  Johnny then starts stomping away, making sure that Leon stays down.  After putting the boots to Leon, Jax turns away and moves towards the ropes, where both Static and Malibu are laid out on the rampway.  Johnny calls out to his partner, but neither one of them are moving, so he decides to forget it, and then heads for the corner, and starts climbing the ropes!

COLE
Johnny Jax is looking to go high risk here, and we are just under 90 seconds!

CABOOSE
If he connects with this...moonsault, splash, whatever, then this will spell the end for The Usual Suspects title reign.

COACH
Good.

CABOOSE
What?

COACH
Nothing.

Johnny starts climbing, albeit very gingerly, as he's still worn from the previous 28+ minutes.  As he climbs though Leon rolls to his feet and pushes up, running under him...and pulls Johnny off the ropes, onto his shoulders!

COLE
He's got him!

CABOOSE
But what is he doing with him!?

Leon staggers around the ring, trying to hold Jax on his shoulders, but Johnny isn't making it easy, as he's peppering his forehead with blows, and frees himself from the electric chair position!  He falls behind Leon and goes for the Beat Drop once again, but once again Leon Rodez manages to avoid it, floating over his shoulders and going low, raising Jax onto his shoulders, and throws him foward off his shoulders...AS MALIBU RUSHES IN AND CATCHES JOHNNY'S HEAD IN AN ACE CRUSHER ON THE WAY DOWN~!

CABOOSE
THE PARTY CRASHER!  COLE, THAT WAS THE PARTY CRASHER~!

COLE
The old In Crowd double team finisher has just laid out Johnny Jax!  COVER HIM, Leon!

:52
:51
:50

Leon covers quickly, and Malibu keeps watch, making sure that neither O'Hara or Static are able to get in the ring to break this up, as time ticks away.

ONE!

TWO!

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

DING!  DING!  DING!

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the fall, THE USUAL SUSPECTS.  They are now up TWO TO ONE in this IronTag contest!

Third Fall:The Usual Suspects

Leon Rodez pins Johnny Jax after The Party Crasher in 29:47

GPX-1, Suspects-2

The Usual Suspects are ahead by one fall.
Time remaining:47 seconds

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

COLE
There's less than a minute left! 

COACH
Never say never, playa's!

Leon gets up off Jax, and rushes to embrace Zack, happy that they've taken the lead.  All of a sudden, Zack pushes Leon out of the way, and no, it's not because Leon goosed his ass...it's because Jamie O'Hara is launching himself in with a springboard...

...RIGHT INTO A SCHOOL'S OUT~!

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"

CABOOSE
He kicked him OUT OF THE AIR, Cole!

COLE
This is what that punk gets for trying to stick his nose in where it doesn't belong!

Zack and Leon then look down at the fallen youngster, and both get a smile on their face.  They reach down and each take an end, Leon grabbing the arms and Zack grabbing the legs.  They pull O'Hara up off the canvas and start rocking him back and forth, swinging him through the air...and then send him flying over the top rope, across the recovering Scotty Static with an involuntary bodypress!

COLE
They killed two birds with one stone, and we have twelve seconds left!  Watch what you do guys!

With all three of their foes down, Candie leads the crowd in counting down the final ten seconds, as Malibu and Rodez each climb up the ropes and work the crowd.

DING! DING! DING!

COLE
The time limit has expired!  The Suspects retain!

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen, at the end of the thirty minutes your winners, by a score of 2 falls to 1...and STILL OAOAST WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...THE USUAL SUSSSSSSSSSPECCCTSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

The crowd roars as "Beverly Hills" is cued up, and the two exhausted superstars are handed their titles just before having their arms raised by Brian Hebner.  Ecstatic with his victory, Rodez clutches the title belt against his chest before lunging for his partner and embracing him in a big hug, patting him on the back and the whole nine yards.

COLE
Leon is pleased, I'm sure Zack is pleased, and these fans are definitely pleased that The Upstart contingent is not heading into the holiday season with the OAOAST World Tag Team Titles in their possession!

A dazed Static and O'Hara enter the ring and help Jax to his feet, throwing his arms over their shoulders and carrying him up the ramp, ignoring the crowds catcalls.  Meanwhile Candie enters the ring and gives Zack a big hug, but when the two part ways Leon is left standing there, looking at them both with open arms.  Candie rolls her eyes and looks at Zack, who just throws his shoulders up and shrugs, so Candie opens her arms and accepts a hug from Leon, who squeezes quick and then backs away, hoping he didn't squeeze too tight, not wanting to hurt the "bun in the oven".

CABOOSE
This Rodez is quite a character, but he and Zack have made a hell of a tag team!

COLE
Completely agreed, 'boose.  The Usual Suspects win big here at November Reign, and Stephen Joseph and the rest of The Upstarts cannot be happy about that.

CABOOSE
I think ol' SJ has enough on his plate.  Let him be concerned with what's coming his way later tonight.

COACH
Oh he's got everything under control, trust me.

CABOOSE
And you would know this how?

COACH
I got my sources.  You don't know who I know!

CABOOSE
Something tells me I should be thankful for that.

I'm going to do as much as I can in the next little while, but the match may not be completed until tonight, as I have relatives in from out of town that I'm going to dinner, etc. with later today/tonight. So if the match isn't done I will be working on it as soon as I get in later tonight (if it's not finished before I leave in a bit).
