Black T vs Wright/Bo

[Mystery Eskimo 0]

COLE

It's time now for tag team action!

 

Cue: "Slither"

 

The arena is already booing as the lights drop and a spotlight falls on the top of the stage. Into appears Christian Wright.

 

BUFFER

Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is set for one fall with a thirty minute time limit. Introducing team number one, first, from Raleigh, North Carolina, weighing 233 pounds, he is the Moral High ground and the HIYAH World Heavyweight Champion - the Natural, Christian WRRRRRRRIGHT! His tag team partner, from Greenville, Carolina, at 284 pounds, the monster BO-HE-MOTH!

 

Wright walks down to the ring, in his signature black robe, while Bohemoth follows a few steps behind, flexing his impressive physique.

 

Bo gets ahead of Wright to jump onto the apron and push open the ropes for his friend to enter. Wright climbs a turnbuckle, where the spotlight falls upon him again, and pulls down his hood, staring out intently at the crowd to more boos. Eventually he jumps back down to the mat and removes his robe, handing it to senior senior referee Clem Buzzlefoxer, the 82 year old with the eyes and reactions of an 81 year old.

 

The lights go back up, and we cue "Quiet"

 

BUFFER

And their opponents!

 

Black smoke spreads across the entrance, swirling and rising into the hot air. Through it step two figures.

 

BUFFER

First, from London, England, at 237lbs, the Ice Heart, Daaaaaaan BLLLLLACK! His tag team partner, from Hollywood, California, at 283lbs, Tony BRRRRRRRRRRRRANIGAN! This is what many consider the greatest tag team of all time, the mighty BLACK TEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

Black, ready to go in ring gear, debuting new grey tights with black trim and boots, and Brannigan in a silver Flair-esque robe, walk confidently down to the ring to a good reaction from the sold out crowd, which of course they refuse to acknowledge.

 

COLE

Black and Brannigan teaming again for the first time in some while. Both have been involved in singles rivalries this year, with Brannigan capturing the World Title and Black in an intense blood feud with Zack Malibu. Will they be rusty and can Wright and Bohemoth take advantage?

 

COACH

I think they can. Wright and Bo are hungry, like all the Upstarts. Black T really has nothing left to prove. It's time they step aside for a new generation of teams.

 

COLE

Well, we've seen the singles matches between these four men, including a brutal empty arena match taped last week. Black and Wright may well still be feeling the effects of that bout.

 

Dan and Tony roll climb into the ring and immediately claim the centre, forcing the Upstarts to back down to the corner. Tony removes his robe to a big cheer from the female section of the audience, as Black rolls his shoulders and glares at Wright.

 

Ref Clem brings the four men together so check them over for international objects. They get the all clear, and its going to be Black and Wright to go first, their bigger partners making their way to the ring apron.

 

*DING DING*

 

Black looks ready to go into a lock up, but Wright just comes straight in with a hard slap to the face! Wright grabs the stunned Black and executes a quick body slam, and then goes for his figure four leglock immediately! Black scrambles backwards on his arms and grabs the bottom rope.

 

COLE

Interesting start from Wright! He worked over Black's left leg pretty severely during that empty arena match, and he must believe there's an injury there to exploit.

 

Christian backs away and allows Dan up to his feet. This time they do lock up, and Black forces Wright into an empty corner, where Clem counts the break. Both men decide not to break cleanly, and both go for an eye rake, blinding each other! Wright and Black swing and miss for each other, raising laughs from the fans, until CW flails close enough to his corner to tag Bohemoth. The massive superstar climbs over the top rope and nearly decapitates Black with a vicious clothesline, causing the laughs to change to gasps.

 

COACH

What power from Bo!

 

CABOOSE

You have to respect that kind of strength. I wonder where Christian would be without him.

 

Black staggers to his feet, right into Bo's clutches, and the big man hoists Dan into the air in a gorilla press, before dropping him down chest first onto the top rope! Bo walks around the fallen Black, grinning casually, before bringing Black up. Wright yells at Bohemoth "Leg! Go for the leg!"

 

Bohemoth looks a little confused, and grabs Black's leg, and then does nothing. Then he punches it a few times. Black shakes his head clear and drags his leg free, and then catches Bo with a couple of quick European uppercuts, a flurry of forearms and a dropkick that sends Bo back into the Black T corner.

 

CABOOSE

I don't think Wright will be telling Bo to work a body part again any time soon. He doesn't have the technical knowledge to apply holds like that. He needs to stick to just hurting the opposition any way he can.

 

Black tags Tony, and the two members of Black T grab Bo and lift him up and over with a double team suplex. Brannigan goes for the cover but the former HIYAH world champ shoves him off at one.

 

Tony rolls Bo up and hits him with forearm shots and then goes to whip him off the ropes, but Bohemoth reverses it and sends Brannigan flying to the cables. Tony bounces back and tries to shoulder block Bo unsuccessfully. Bo swings at Tony, who ducks under the blow and kicks Bohemoth in the gut. Tony grabs Bo for a DDT attempt, but Bohemoth shows his immense power, lifting the not-light Brannigan up out of the DDT and planting him with the Bo and Arrow! (Falcon Arrow)

 

COACH

Great counter from Bo! Who said he couldn't wrestle technically!

 

CABOOSE

He stood up and dropped Brannigan on his face. Impressive strength, sure, but not exactly Olympic style wrestling.

 

Bo grabs Tony up by his hair and drives his knee up into Brannigan's face! With Wright applauding, Bo scoops the former Heavyweight Champion up onto his shoulder, looking for a running power slam, but Dan Black ducks into the ring and grabs Tony's gold boots, pulling him down to the mat out of Bo's grasp. Bo turns angrily, and Tony and Dan grab him, trying for their 3B finisher (Combined Rock Bottom/Spinebuster) but Bo shoves them both off! Referee Clem gets Black out of the ring, and with this distraction Bo throws Brannigan into his teams corner, where Wright chokes him from the apron while Bo throws shots into the gut.

 

Dan sees this and tries to get across to help his team mate.

 

CABOOSE

*Sigh* Why does wrestling in a tag team automatically make you an idiot? Get out of the ring and just tell Clem to turn round, Black! You cretin!

 

COACH

Steady, Caboose, some people might get the idea you don't want the Upstarts to win this.

 

CABOOSE

You're getting pretty cocky lately, Jonathon. I think you should stick to the lame gay jokes at Mikey's expense.

 

COACH

Well, you said cocky. Cock-y. Get it?

 

Silence greats Coach's witticism, as Clem at last gets Black out of the ring, whereupon Wright drops his choke of Tony. Bohemoth tags in his friend and mentor, and holds Tony's arms behind his back for Wright to get a kick into Brannigan's sculpted abs.

 

Wright with a fireman's carry take over and then applies a side headlock to a sitting Brannigan. Tony immediately rises up to his feet, lifts Wright up and plants him with a back suplex, showing that he brings the power for his team. Brannigan covers -

 

ONE!

 

TWO!

 

And a comfortable kick out from Wright. Tony brings CW up and sets him for an Attitude Adjustment piledriver, but Wright fights him off and pushes Brannigan away. Tony runs in with a swing that Christian dodges, grabbing his arm and bringing him down with a back slide pin:

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

TH - Tony kicks out and rolls to his feet. Wright and Brannigan exchange punches, each getting warnings from the veteran official, which they ignore. Tony gains the upper hand and lifts Wright up, hitting him with an inverted atomic drop, and then grabs his head and slams into the nearest turnbuckle. With a handful of hair Brannigan repeats the blow, and then locks on a full-nelson - full nelson slam, right into the Black T corner! Brannigan tags Dan, who climbs to the top rope - diving headbutt to Wright! Cover!

 

 

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

THREE - No, Bohemoth breaks it up! Bo drags Black off Wright and sets him for a powerbomb! Tony tries to save his partner, but again ref Clem stops him. Bohemoth lifts Black high into the air and plants him with vicious intent into the canvas! Bo puts Wright on top for the cover, as Clem turns:

 

 

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

THREE!

 

 

 

No! Tony breaks it up! Bo comes back in and slugs it out with Brannigan. Tony gains the upper hand, whipping Bo to the ropes and nailing him with the Out of Body Experience spinebuster! Big pop from the crowd, and a cover!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

THREE!

 

 

 

 

*DING DING DING*

 

 

 

 

COACH

Hey, wait a minute! That's not right!

 

And indeed it isn't, as Clem has no realised. He shakes his head at Buffer and yells something in his old man voice.

 

BUFFER

Referee Buzzlefoxer has ruled that neither Brannigan nor Behemoth were the legal men, therefore the match MUST CONTINUE!

 

CABOOSE

What an idiot. Why is Clem still employed?

 

COLE

He works for beer money.

 

Tony looks furious, but exits the ring. Bo rolls out, leaving us with Wright and Black, slowly recovering. Wright is up first and catches Dan with a forearm as he rises, and then hits a quick snap suplex. CW then goes for the figure four again, but Dan kicks him off as he does the spin. Black up and drills Wright with a big European uppercut, and then double underhooks Wright's arms, flipping him up and over with a Butterfly suplex.

 

Dan is slow getting over to Wright, still feeling the effects of Bohemoth's powerbomb, and Wright is up to one knee. Dan applies a headlock, but Wright throws elbows to drive him off, and then quick as lightning grabs Black's left leg and executes a Dragon screw take over! Black yells in pain and clutches his knee as Christian smiles thinly in triumph.

 

Wright puts Dan's left leg on to the bottom rope side on. He then climbs out onto the apron and uses the top rope to spring himself back in with an elbow drop to the exposed leg! Christian drags Black in to the middle of the ring and applies a single leg crab, piling on the pressure. Dan tries to move across to his corner on his arms, but Wright sits down on Dan's back, increasing the pain on his leg and immobilising Black.

 

COLE

We could have a submission right here!

 

Tony comes in, runs the ropes and delivers a big boot to Wright's face!

 

COLE

Or we could not!

 

Clem gets Brannigan out as Black limps to his feet. He goes for the tag, but Wright groggily trips him up and tries to go back to the crab, but Dan rolls over and grabs the bottom rope before CW can apply it.

 

Wright ignores Clem, grabs Dan legs and just pulls him off the ropes, high into the air so that Dan hits hard on the mat! Wright with an Oklahoma Roll!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

THR - Dan kicks out!

 

Christian brings Black over and tags in Bo, as Tony Brannigan starts to slap the top turnbuckle, rousing a clap-a-long from the fans as they encourage Black. Bo picks Dan up in a bear hug position and runs him all the way across the ring, driving Dan back first into the turnbuckles. Dan winces but has little time to recover, as Bohemoth quickly lifts him up onto his shoulder and before Brannigan can intervene delivers that big running powerslam, driving Black into the mat at high velocity!

 

Cover!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

THREE!

 

 

 

No- Tony breaks it up with a boot to Bo's back. Bohemoth brings Dan up and whips him to the ropes, but Black grabs the top cable to halt his momentum. Bo charges at Dan but Black pulls the top rope down and Bo tumbles over to the floor.

 

COLE

A smart move from Black, now he can make the tag to his partner.

 

CABOOSE

Black T have great ring knowledge. You saw some inexperience in Bohemoth there as he charged in blindly.

 

Dan comes off the ropes unsteadily and moves to tag Tony - but Christian comes in with an elbow to the back of Black's head to halt his progress. Wright grabs Black around the neck and plants him hard with an inverted DDT!

 

Referee Clem quickly moves to get Wright out of the ring. Tony Brannigan, meanwhile, drops down to the floor and grabs a hold of Bohemoth, who's picking himself up after his fall. Tony whips Bo into the guard rail, and then into the side of the ring. Brannigan rolls Bo back in, where Black jumps on top for a cover:

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

Bo throws Dan off him and sits up!

 

Black tries to turn and tag Brannigan as he gets back onto the apron, but Bo grabs his leg and trips him down to the mat. The big man drops an elbow across Dan's back, and then drags him into his teams corner, where he tags Wright - but Black suddenly fires, knocking Wright to the mat with a forearm as he comes in, and hitting Bo with a flurry of hard chops. Black grabs Wright by the neck as he rises, and slams in into Bo's gut! Full nelson on Wright and release Dragon suplex flips Wright over to land on his face!

 

Black rolls over and makes the tag - no! Bohemoth drags him away again - LOW BLOW by Black to Bo, and he finally tags Tony! Brannigan in and body slams the groaning Bohemoth, and then drags him back up for a Rude Awakening neckbreaker!

 

Cover!

 

But Clem calls off the pin - Christian Wright is the legal man!

 

COLE

He's learning!

 

Brannigan covers Wright instead!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

Kick out!

 

Tony brings Wright up and sets him for the Attitude Adjustment piledriver, but Wright fights hard and back drops Brannigan to escape! Dan Black has climbed to the top rope - and Wright runs at him, leaping up with a high drop kick to Black's left leg! Dan falls down onto the buckle, and Wright climbs up after him, drawing Black up again - grabs the leg - Dragon screw off the top turnbuckle! Black slams hard into the mat!

 

Wright quickly locks on the figure four! Dan screams in pain!

 

COACH

Tap out Black! Don't make Wright break your leg!

 

But Clem is counting the break, because Black isn't legal and has to get out of the ring! Christian Wright is furiously wrenching on the hold, and won't let go when Clem reaches five! Clem is on the verge of calling for the DQ when Tony Brannigan breaks it up. Black rolls away and out of the ring, clutching his left leg and swearing. Brannigan is stomping Wright when Bo grabs him from behind in a bearhug! Wright rolls up to his feet and takes a step back - superkick to Tony - but he ducks and Bo eats the boot!

 

The bestial Bohemoth rolls out of the ring as Wright looks shocked! He turns - into an Out of Body Experience!

 

ONE!

 

 

TWO!

 

 

 

THREE!

 

 

 

 

*DING DING DING*

 

BUFFER

Ladies and Gentlemen, the winners of the match are Tony Brannigan and Dan Black - BLLLLLACK TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

 

Brannigan allows our elderly referee to raise his arm, before heading out of the ring to check on Dan Black, who gets to his feet with a limp. Black T make their way to the back to cheers from the crowd.

 

COLE

Black T pulls off another victory!

 

COACH

Only because of that inept referee. He should have had control of the match, then Wright would never had kicked Bohemoth.

 

COLE

That was certainly an unfortunate incident, but teams can't afford to make those kind of mistakes against Black T. This win has to put them in line for a shot at the tag titles, but almost more importantly, its another victory for the Originals.
