HD: Ashley/Benefactor

[King Cucaracha 0]

COLE
Okay, coming up next on this 27 match card, we have the OAOAST Women's Championship on the line. And you know it's gonna be a long-ass show when there's three women's division matches. This one's been brewing for some time, back to when Jenny Adams was the OAOAST Women's Champion. Into her title reign, a bounty was placed on the head of Adams, which eventually Brodie Lewis collected. Jenny was injured, Brodie was suspended and the title was vacated. That allowed Ashley Street to win the vacated title. However, her speaking out earned a bounty on HER head too, from the women who was now identified as simply 'The Benefactor'.

CABOOSE
OOOOooooOOOoooOOoOOoOOoOOoOoOoOOoooooo!!! Mysterious.

COLE
Indeed. So far, Ashley has fought off all attempts to collect the bounties on her head. We saw The Benefactor compete in the Torneo Cibernetica last month, but as yet, we've not seen this woman in singles action
in the OAOAST.

COACH
That we know of.

COLE
Good point. So, anyway, by winning the Cibernetica and in the process pinning The Benefactor, Ashley won the right not to defend her title at all until 2006 but she decided to waive that in order to challenge The Benefactor to a singles match. Tonight, the rules are simple. If The Benefactor wins, she is the new World Women's Champion. If Ashley wins, then The Benefactor must unmask and expose herself...

COACH
WOO-HOOO!!!~!1!~~1!

COLE
...her identity, that is...

COACH
Aww dang.

COLE
...in the middle of the ring, by unmasking. It's Title vs. Mask, tonight!


"ANY WAY YOU WANT IT!
THAT'S THE WAY YOU NEED IT!
ANY WAY YOU WANT IT!"

Suddenly, "Any Way You Want It" by Rise Against hits and the crowd rise up to their feet for the arrival of the Women's Champion!

BUFFER
The following contest is scheduled for one fall, with the OAOAST World Women's Championship on the line and it is Mask for Title! Introducing first, hailing from Evansville, Indiana and weighing one hundred, fifty nine pounds. Tonight, she hopes to force the mysterious Benefactor out of hiding and reveal the identity of the woman who has put the bounty on her head. She is the reigning and defending OAOAST Women's Champion... she is AASSSSHHHLLEEEEEEYYYY... SSSSSSTTRRRREEEEEEEEETT!!!!!

"YYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

The fired up Champion jogs to the ring, tagging the hands of the fans down the ramp before she enters the ring. Away goes the title, as Ashley is ready to go right away. But she's going to have to wait apparantly.

COLE
Ashley looks rightfully fired up for this one. And I'm sure she's got a lot of the women's locker room routing her on tonight, not least Jenny Adams, who was The Benefactor's original target.

CABOOSE
But The Benefactor's probably got just as many routing her on. Infact, she's probably got quite a few on stand-by to come and help out for a few extra dollar signs, should things not go her way.

COLE
That wouldn't surprise me at all.

Ashley continues to wait in the ring, growing noticeably impatient. All the crowd is waiting too and start up an "ASH - LEY" chant to fill the time, until eventually music starts up. Music which just serves to rile Ashley up even more, "Diamonds From Sierra Leone" by Kanye West. 

"
THEY WON'T LEAVE IN THE NIGHT,
I HAVE NO FEAR THAT THEY MIGHT."
[i]*DUN* 
*DUNNA DUN*[/i]
"DIAMONDS ARE, FOREVER"
[i]"Throw 'ya diamonds in the sky
"[/i]

(Un)Fortunately, there's no Prince Nana. But there is The Benefactor, walking through the entrance with a mean look showing under her metallic blue mask. The mask is big enough to cover up The Benefactor's face completely. Infact, the eyeholes and mouthhole of the mask are perforated rather than open, to further mask her face and identity.

BUFFER
And, her opponent. Weight, Unknown! Height, Unknown! Tonight, she places her identity on the line in order to attempt to disposess her opponent of the Women's Championship, a feat which her money has so far been unable to buy. Ladies and gentlemen, she is the challenger tonight... the woman, known only as... TTHHHHEEE BBEEEEEEENNEEFFFFAAAACCTTOOOOORRRRRRRRR!!!!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

The masked Benefactor reaches the end of the ramp, but suddenly she's sent scampering backwards, as Ashley leaves the ring. The Benefactor backs up, trying to beg off. But Ashley is advancing all the way down the ramp. And eventually, she catches up to the Benefactor, grabbing her by the mask and asking the crowd if they want to see an early unmasking! Her playing to the crowd buys The Benefactor time to escape though, crawling through Ashley's legs and running to the ring.

*DINGDINGDING!*

The bell sounds as The Benefactor falls to her knees in the ring, pleading for mercy from Ashley as she re-enters the squared circle. Ashley has none of it though, pulling her masked opponent up and SLAMMING a forearm into her jaw! And a second! The Benefactor staggers back against the ropes, still groggily trying to reason with the Champion. She gets another forearm for her trouble though, before being whipped to the ropes. Back shoots The Benefactor...right into a fourth forearm, knocking her clean off her feet! The Benefactor, with whatever awareness she has left, quickly rolls for ringside. Ashley is in hot pursuit though.

COLE
And now, The Benefactor is FINALLY getting what's coming to her! And surprise surprise, she's not putting up much of a fight, now she has no money to hide behind!

CABOOSE
Come on Cole, have a heart. We don't even know if this Benefactor's a trained wrestler or not!

COLE
Judging from her perfomance in the Torneo Cibernetica, she knows enough to be put into a match and not need automatic sympathy from me and you.

Grabbing The Benefactor on the outside, Ashley sends her face-first into the guardrail! The fans cheer Ashley on, while The Benefactor slumps herself over the railings and into the crowd, trying to crawl away into the people. A masked woman dressed all in blue kinda stands out though, so her attempts to hide are a little pointless. Ashley catches her up and sends her sprawling across some chairs with a hard right hand! Ashley then drags The Benefactor back up, moving the fans out of the way before whipping The Benefactor back towards ringside...REVERSED...AND ASHLEY CRASHES UP AND OVER THE STEEL BARRICADE!!!

"OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

Ashley tumbles over and lands with a dull splat on the ringside mats. Bringing a smile to The Benefactor's face for the first time in the match.

COLE
Ooh, Ashley landed hard. What a break this could be for The Benefactor!

COACH
It could be a LOT of breaks for Ashley. Like, bones and stuff.

Climbing back over to ringside, The Benefactor pulls Ashley off the floor and dumps her back into the ring. The Benefactor rolls in after and wastes no time in trying to end the match as she cradles Ashley up into a pin...

Kickout.

The Benefactor pulls Ashley back up by the hair and throws her head-first into the top turnbuckle. She then goes to work with a series of quick kicks across the side and stomach, working the Champion over. All Ashley can do is try in vain to cover up, before The Benefactor eventually relents and pulls Ashley out of the corner. Ducking the head, The Benefactor sets Ashley up for a Northern Lights Suplex. A block from Ashley stops that though. And another block. So The Benefactor charges Ashley back into the corner, before pulling her out and this time getting the Northern Lights off...

2...



Kickout!

COLE
The Benefactor is wasting no time or motion now that she's in control. She wants to get this match over with as soon as she possibly can.

Up scrambles The Benefactor again, desperate to beat Ashley to her feet. Quickly she goes over to the corner and scales to the middle rope, calling Ashley in. Ashley pulls herself up favouring her ribs which allows The Benefactor to measure Ashley...for a right hand, directly to the temple. Back stumbles Ashley, but she doesn't go down. The Benefactor slams a hard knee into her gut though, doubling Ashley over and allowing her to go back to the middle rope for a second, measured right hand to the head. But, Ashley isn't going down.

ASHLEY
C'MOOOOOOOOOOOONN!!!!

COACH
Wuh-oh!

The Benefactor begs off again, as Ashley begins to fight some adrenaline. Only, she's not as scared as she makes out. A boot cuts Ashley off, followed by a quick hop to the middle rope and another right hand to the hea...CAUGHT! Ashley catches The Benefactor on the way down this time, to a pop from the crowd, before throwing her overhead with a Release Belly To Belly Suplex!! The Benefactor, despite not being a scrawny little girl from the looks of things, goes soaring across the ring and doesn't move after impact. Pulling herself up, Ashley sees this and leaves the ring, heading to the top!

COLE
Look at this! The Champ, heading upstairs...this is a rare tactic from Ashley, she's not reknowned as a high-flier.

Slowly Ashley ascends to the top, her side still giving her some discomfort. Gritting her teeth through the pain, Ashley does make it to the top though. The Benefactor is still laid out in the centre of the ring, just about close enough for Ashley to come off with a Diving Headbutt...




...WHICH MISSES!

"OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
The Benefactor rolled out of the way, right at the very last second!

CABOOSE
I think she was playing possum a little Cole. That's the advantage of wearing a mask in that ring, your opponent can't read you facial expressions properly. And the way The Benefactor's mask is set-up, you can't even tell if her eyes are shut shut or fake shut.

COLE
That's a valid point. The Benefactor seems relatively okay all of a sudden now.

Okay enough to point to her temple, indicating just how smart she is. Grabbing Ashley by the hair, The Benefactor pulls the Champion up and notices where Ashley is favouring, going right to the ribs with a succession of quick knees. The wind is driven out of the Champion, before an irish whip sends her crashing into the turnbuckles. Following in, The Benefactor drives some double knees (~!) into the chest, leaving Ashley slumped in the corner. Obviously not wanting to give any clues away, The Benefactor doesn't say anything, but signals with her finger that she's going to do 'one more'...and does, further driving the air out of the Champion's lungs! Ashley falls to her knees, slumping over the middle rope and gasping for some much needed air. But that allows The Benefactor to sneak up behind and drape a leg over the back of the head, choking Ashley out on the rope!

"ONE!"
"TWO!"
"THREE!"
"FOUR!"
"FI..."

The Benefactor breaks, restraining herself from yelling at the referee to back off.

COLE
Milking the count for every second...that's a veteran move from this Benefactor.

CABOOSE
Not neccessarily. It's smart, sure, but it doesn't mean she's a 'veteran'.

The Benefactor is in control now, as she executes a simple back suplex on Ashley and quickly hooks a leg for a pin...

Kickout!

Still no words, but The Benefactor is clearly getting frustrated with the referee. Climbing to her feet, the next thing on The Benefactor's mind seems to be some sort of charge as she crouches in the corner and encourages the Champion to her feet. Ashley slowly does make her way back up and The Benefactor encourages her around before sprinting in, catching Ashley with a spear and floating over into a Northern Lights bridge with her momentum...

NOOOOO!!

"YYEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
That was the move that The Benefactor put away Jenny Adams with in the Torneo Cibernetica last month! And look at her...mask or no mask, you can tell The Benefactor is completely shocked that Ashley kicked out!

CABOOSE
I don't blame her! She landed that spear, perfectly, just like she did to Adams. And the flash pin straight afterwards...I'm shocked it didn't win the match!

All hiding of emotions is out of the window now as The Benefactor stomps around the ring, hands on her head, kicking the bottom rope in her frustration.

"ASH - LEY!"
"ASH - LEY!"
"ASH - LEY!"
"ASH - LEY!"

Turning back to Ashley, The Benefactor gives the signal that this time, it's definately 'ovah!'. The crowd's support is willing Ashley up to her knees, getting the adrenaline flowing. Ashley's face is contorted now as she tries to fire herself up. Not realising that The Benefactor is waiting behind her, ready to hit another 'Southern Lights Spear' as it's known in some circles. Around turns Ashley, fists clenched...just as The Benefactor charges...straight into a PUNT, catching her first in the collarbone!!

"YYEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
Ashley saw it coming! And now, it may be time for a little FIGHTING SPIRIT~!

Reeling back around, The Benefactor is ready to strike. But Ashley beats her to the punch, connecting with a forearm to the BUTT of the jaw! A forearm! Forearm! Straight right hand! Another straight right! And a clothesline, knocking The Benefactor down! Ashley is on the offensive in a big way now and The Benefactor is reeling. An irish whip sends The Benefactor into the ropes and back into a HIGH Backbody Drop, almost putting her up into the lights! The Benefactor comes down to earth with a thud and goes back to her original strategy...beg off and pray for mercy. Which didn't work then and it's not going to work now. 

[i]*SMACK!*[/i]

Ashley lands a stiff kick to the chest! 

[i]*SMACK!*[/i]

And a second!

[i]*SMACK!*[/i]

And a third, to complete the Low Ki style series! The Benefactor falls backwards, stretching out her achilles muscles in the process, which Ashley makes even more painful by following up with a big legdrop! The Benefactor unfolds her legs and tries to roll herself out of the ring to safety. Ashley catches her on the apron though, pulling the masked female up and leaving The Benefactor hanging with a make you weep, make you cry, stalling vertical suplex of DOOM~! Twelve, thirteen, fourteen seconds pass, before Ashley finally drops The Benefactor down! And immediately, she rolls back up and slaps her shin, giving the signal for some Shining I Hate Your Face action! The Benefactor gingerly begins to climb back up, reaching one knee, at which point Ashley runs across the ring...


...and knocks VALERIE off the apron with a forearm!!

COLE
Wait a minute...what the hell are they doing out here!?!

CABOOSE
I told you Cole! Money talks!

COLE
The Minnesota Angels have stormed the ring hoping to save The Benefactor...but there goes Constance as well!

Both Angels have been knocked off the ramp to the floor now, but that's allowed The Benefactor to start rummaging around in her boot. Unbeknownest to the referee and Ashley, The Benefactor has some sort of foreign object. Valerie climbs back to the apron and grabs the referee's attention, as well as Ashley's. Meanwhile, The Benefactor sneaks up on Ashley, placing a hand on her shoulder and wheeling her around...POWDER IN THE EYES!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

COLE
NOOO! Powder! The mysterious white powder, right to the eyes! Who knows what sort of damaging chemical that could have been!

COACH
Probably Coke. She's rich dont'cha know.

COLE
...

Ashley blindly staggers around the ring, throwing phantom fists wildly at the air. Wafting away as much of the cloud as possible, The Benefactor then sets Ashley up for a DDT. Valerie jumps to the floor, right on cue, just as The Benefactor runs up the ropes and launches off with a Tornado DDT...NO! ASHLEY THROWS THE BENEFACTOR OFF! The Benefactor bounces hard stomach first off the canvas, the wind knocked out of her. And as she settles on one knee, Ashley charges...SHINING I HATE YOUR FACE...MISSES!! Ashley couldn't see and fluffs the kick! Groans go up from Ashley's fans, who thought that was it. Instead, The Benefactor is up and measuring Ashley now, hopping up onto the Champion's shoulders and setting herself for a moment, ready for a hurricanrana...which is countered, into a BRUTAL Powerbomb!! The Benefactor's body lurches off the canvas and with a little help from Ashley, she ends up on her front. Stepping over a leg, the still vision impaired Champion manages to apply an Indian Deathlock...and then bridges back, hooking The Benefactor's head and pulling back with a Bridging Muta Lock!!

"YYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
Vision or no vision, Ashley has The Benefactor all tied up with nowhere to go! She MUST submit, surely!

"TAP!"
"TAP!"
"TAP!"
"TAP!"
"TAP!"

The Benefactor is in trouble, stuck in the middle of the ring, a LOOONG way from the ropes! Luckily for her though, The Minnesota Angels are on her side and have a plan. Constance leaps to the apron to distract the referee, while Valerie rushes up the turnbuckles to the top rope. Steadying herself, Valerie then launches off the top, landing a double axehandle to the gut of Ashley, which breaks her bridge and in the process the hold!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

COLE
This is ridiculous! It's three on one!

Having broken the hold up, Valerie now looks to put some finishing touches to Ashley. A boot to the gut sets up a double underhook. Valerie then pauses to mock the crowd, while The Benefactor climbs to her feet in front of Valerie, telling her to finish Ashley off. But Ashley blocks! And again. Before countering with a backdrop...CAUSING VALERIE'S HEEL TO SMACK THE BENEFACTOR IN THE FACE!!!

"YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
MISCUE!

COACH
It's all falling apart!

Constance sees this as enters the ring past the referee, charging Ashley...who avoids her, causing Constance to tumble out through the ropes and to the floor! Valerie is out on the floor. Constance is out on the floor. And The Benefactor is up, to one knee...SHINING I HATE YOUR FACE!! ASHLEY CONNECTS!! COVER...


1...

3!!!!!

"YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
YES! YES! SHE GOT IT! ASHLEY WINS!!

The crowd go wild, as Ashley's arm is raised in victory...but she doesn't care about that. All she cares about is her prize. Namely, the unmasking of The Benefactor!

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen...your winner of the match and STILL the OAOAST WORLD WOMEN'S CHAMPION... AAASSSHHLLEEEYYY SSSSTTRRRREEEEETT!! And, by virtue of her victory, The Benefactor must now UNMASK in the centre of the ring!!

The Benefactor, having just begun to recover, looks out in horror at Michael Buffer before shaking her head like a mad woman. The referee and Ashley are closing in and now, it's unmasking time. All The Benefactor can do is retreat into a corner. But it's inevitable now...


...but suddenly, The Minnesota Angels attack!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Valerie and Constance pounce on Ashley from behind, which buys enough time for The Benefactor to slither out of the ring and run for the curtains!

COLE
Damnit, no! She's getting away! Somebody stop her!

The Benefactor is now smiling from ear to ear as she turns back to the ring at the head of the ramp, waving goodbye to Ashley, before turning around...to find THE CANNON KID and JENNY ADAMS blocking her path!! The Benefactor stops frozen and begs for mercy, but Cannon Kid and Jenny grab a handful of mask each and begin to drag The Benefactor back to the ring! The Benefactor can't struggle, or else her mask will be ripped clean off. So she ends up getting dragged and thrown back into the ring. Valerie and Constance are waiting though and Valerie lands a hard shot to Jenny, knocking her off the ramp and to the floor! The Cannon Kid lands a shoulder to Constance though, before springboarding to the top and into the ring...but Valerie moves...*SMACK!* SUPERKICK FROM THE BENEFACTOR!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

COLE
This isn't supposed to happen!

CABOOSE
Well, it is, so shut up and enjoy the floor show would ya?

Boos fill the air from the cheated crowd, as The Benefactor starts to direct traffic. Valerie reaches down and grabs Cannon Kid up into a Wheelbarrow, while Constance climbs to the top. Running thumbs across throat, Constance then comes off with a Double Stomp to the back of Cannon Kid's head!! HALO KILLER!! Cannon is KOed, but The Benefactor is feeling vengeful now and isn't done yet, as she signals she wants The Minnesota Angels to give Ashley a Halo Killer as well! The Angels gleefully start to oblige, but Jenny Adams is up top. Valerie goes to cut her off. Jenny lands safely though, with a front facelock...TOLEDO DESTROYER (DDT Canadian Destroyer)!! Over rushes Constance, right into a boot, facelock, TOLEDO DESTROYER!! The Minnesota Angels have been disposed of and now The Benefactor tries to run...but Jenny grabs her and pulls her back into the ring! Ashley is up and now The Benefactor is trapped between both Jenny and Ashley, with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide!!

"YYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
HERE WE GO!!

CABOOSE
This is it...this should be interesting. I've got $20 riding on this being Jessica Alba.

COACH
If you wanted to waste money, why didn't you just buy some stock in the company?

The crowd are on tenderhooks as The Benefactor makes one last, desperate attempt to get away. Ashley nonchalantly trips her up though and applies a double chickenwing, pinning The Benefactor's arms behind her back. And that allows Jenny Adams, the woman The Benefactor first targetted, to reach forward and grab the mask! Cue dramatic pause, before Jenny tugs at the mask...


COACH
IT'S...


COLE
IT'S...


CABOOSE
IT'S...

OFF COMES THE MASK...

COLE
OH MY GOD!! IS THAT...


[b]...IT'S CRYSTAL!!!!!!![/b]


COACH
MAH BABY GUUUUUUURRRRRRRLLLLLLL~!~!

COLE
CRYSTAL!?! CRYSTAL!?!

CABOOSE
No way!

Jenny and Ashley are so shocked that they collectively let Crystal go, allowing her to roll from the ring. The former World Heavyweight Champion of the entire OAOAST covers up her face with her arms as best possible, but it's all worthless now, because everyone has seen it. Plain and clear. CRYSTAL was The Benefactor. Running away as fast as possible, Crystal disappears through the curtains, leaving two very shocked women in the ring, surrounded by thousands of shocked fans.

COLE
Thi...this...this doesn't make sense. Why? Why was Crystal behind all of this? Jenny Adams idolised Crystal and you're telling me that Crystal put a bounty on her head!?!

CABOOSE
I don't get it either. But, I guess if you don't like answers, don't ask questions.

COLE
What does that mean?

CABOOSE
Oh, I don't know. I could have SWORE it was Jessica Alba!

In the ring, Ashley still can't believe what she's seen. Beside her, Jenny Adams is almost in tears as she continues to cling to the mask in her hand, staring in disbelief up the rampway. Ashley consoles Jenny before the two start to help The Cannon Kid back up.
