King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted February 15, 2008 (edited) COLE It's now time for our main-event, so let's take it up to Michael Buffer for the introductions. *DINGDING!* BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, this contest is your OAOAST HeldDOWN~! main-event of the evening, scheduled for one fall with television time remaining! [IMG=http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii59/KingCucaracha/landontodd.jpg] "Oh No" by Mos Def, Nate Dogg and Pharoah Monche hits and a shower of sparks rains down on Todd Cortez as he marches out from the back. Cortez soaks in the moment for a second before heading for the ring. BUFFER Introducing first. Tonight, he must avoid defeat or be forced to join the ranks of his bitter rival's Cucaracha Internacional stable. Hailing from Hollywood Boulevard... he weighs in at two hundred, twenty six pounds. He is "THE URBAN LEGEND"... TTOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODD... CCOOOOOOOOORRRRRRTTEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!!! "YYYYEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Cortez scales the ropes and throws two very determined arms up in the air, before he takes off his gold chain and cross, kissing them and passing them over to the referee. COLE Todd Cortez has been waiting for this match since August 16th in Honolulu, Hawaii. On that night, Cortez got his first shot at the OAOAST World Title, but was unable to defeat Landon Maddix. He was left bloodied, beaten and hospitalised on that night. Since then Cortez has been a thorn in Landon's side however, all of which has earned him this rematch, simply because Landon has had enough and wants to force his former tag team partner back to his side! COACH It's the best thing for everyone concerned Michael. Cortez was seduced into thinking he'd be better off on his own and we all know how that turned out. Maddix is just trying to put the world back to rights. COLE So nothing to do with the repeated Riot Act Pluses he's suffered the past few months? COACH Added bonus. [b]"PREPARE...FOR...LANDON!"[/b] [i]...WAAAAAHHHHH... *DUM DUM*[/i] "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" All eyes turn back to the entrance way as "Megalomaniac" powers through the PA system, including those of Todd Cortez. The Urban Legend doesn't look entirely surprised either as not only Landon and not only Megan, but also Nathaniel Black, James Blonde and Faqu emerge! With a smug grin on his face, Landon poses with the members of Cucaracha Internacional assembled behind him. BUFFER And his opponent. Accompanied to the ring by MEGAN SKYE! He is the leader of Cucaracha Internacional, aiming to bring his former tag team partner back to his side. From Huron, South Dakota by way of Madrid, Spain... weighing two hundred, eight pounds... the former OAOAST World Heavyweight Champion... LLLAAAAAAAAANNDDOOOOONN... "LA CUCARACHA"... MMMMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAADDIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXX!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Maddix's smug look isn't to last though. As he and his merry band of friends reach the ring they're confronted by referee Earl Hebner who in no uncertain terms tells Landon the match is going to be one on one. And to ensure that, he shows the rest of Cucaracha Internacional the way to the back!! "YYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" COACH What!? COLE Great call by Earl Hebner! No good can come of having Black, Blonde and especially Faqu at ringside. A further group of referees head out to make sure the unwanted Cucaracha Internacional members leave as Landon protests in vain, claiming that he just wants Todd to see what he's about to join up with. Hebner is hearing none of it though and Black is guided away, Blonde quickly making sure Faqu does the same as he grows restless with all the referees crowded around him. COLE Well, it looks like Megan's going to stay, but at least the other three are gone. Not that I'd put anything past Megan, but she has a manager's license, so... COACH Besides, you can't seperate Megan from Landon. Not so soon after Valentine's Day! Landon tries to hide his disappointment and enters the ring, watching as his back-up is whisked away. He then turns to Cortez who leans in the opposite corner waiting patiently for the bell to ring. He has to wait for Landon to get rid of his ring gear though, slicking back his hair and sharing some last words of advise with Megan. Or, stalling, for short. "COR - TEZ!" "COR - TEZ!" "COR - TEZ!" "COR - TEZ!" With the crowd getting restless, Landon finally decides he's ready to go. *DINGDINGDING!* The two circle, before much to Cortez's surprise Maddix extends his hand looking for a handshake! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE How disingenuous. COACH Dis... come on Michael, this is a show of sportmanship. Applaud that man! Cortez looks understandably dubious and refuses the hand. Shrugging, Landon continues to claim he was being genuine as they circle again. Both Landon and Cortez drop into fighting stances and look for an opening. Cagey, both tease a kick put pull out, before Landon finally gambles. Todd avoids the kick and Landon quickly drops back into the stance. Again he kicks for the leg, but again is evaded. And Landon brief foray into the mixed martial arts before it's began, as Cortez cracks him in the back of the leg with a kick! A second! And a third, sweeping La Cucaracha's feet from underneath him! Landon quickly crawls to the ropes and ducks through to buy himself time to recover, Cortez forced to keep back. COLE A lot of history between these two men, dating back to late 2004 in the SWF. Megan rubs some feeling back into the thigh muscles of her man trying to get him back to 100%. Cortez sees this as time-wasting and goes after Landon, but Hebner steps in between. COLE And plenty of that history revolves around that young lady there. COACH What she ever saw in that piece of street trash Cortez, I'll never know. I mean, look at Landon. Grrrrowl! No homo. Finally Maddix is massaged into health and ready to go again. This time he locks up with Cortez, collar and elbow tie-up. After a tussle for position Landon manages to turn Cortez against the turnbuckles, forcing a break. Which, much to Cortez's surprise, Landon gives cleanly. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE Clean break. Uncharacteristic. COACH He's showing sportmanship, a nice clean wrestling match with his future understudy. He doesn't want to hurt Todd unneccessarily. After tonight, they'll be back to being the best of friends after all. COLE Oh, of course. Another lock-up sees Cortez backing Landon into the corner this time. Again the referee steps in and Maddix [i]tells[/i] Todd to give him a clean break, just like he had seconds earlier. Cortez is thoroughly tempted to club him in the mouth and shut him up. But he gives the clean break all the same. Landon grins smugly and pats Cortez on the shoulder, the camera picking up him saying "see, how easy it is to do what I tell you to do..." *SLAP!* "YYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" ...and Cortez DOES shut him up this time, slapping him in the face! COACH HEY! Cortez takes the shell-shocked Maddix by the arm, whipping him across the ring and into the opposite corner. The Urban Legend follows in with a clothesline, then snapmares Landon to the mat and CRACKS him in the spine with a hard kick! Writhing in pain, Landon finds his way back to his knees and begs off, pleading for him to listen to reason. So Cortez cracks him in the chest with a kick! Maddix has had enough of this and ducks his head between the ropes looking for a reprieve. So Cortez cracks him in the ASS with a kick, sending Landon to the floor! COLE Rarely has the term 'ass kicking' been quite so literal! Over scuttles Megan to check on her man. He's again in need of a massage and lucky lady that she is, Megan knows just where it's required. But she gets let off the hook by Cortez as he launches himself over the top with a PESCADO, wiping Landon out! "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Throwing Landon back inside, Cortez keeps a close eye on Megan as he follows him back in. Maddix pulls himself back up and turns around, right into a Crotch Droppah across the knee! COLE Ooh. I think Maddix is in need of another 'massage' after that one. COACH Who can blame the guy? Before he can get over to Megan however, Maddix gets caught and popped with a German Suplex! 1... 2... NO! In complete control, Cortez measures Landon back to his feet... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and chops him back across the ring! Maddix falls into the ropes and Cortez follows in, sending him across the ring with an irish whip. On the rebound, Cortez nails Landon with a Spinning Wheel Kick and makes another cover... 1... 2... No! COLE We thought back in Honolulu that Maddix had ruined the notion that Todd Cortez was his 'bogey opponent', but it certainly doesn't seem that way at the moment. COACH Hold your roll Michael. The match has barely got going, give him a chance! Again Cortez measures Landon, who looks like he'd rather be anywhere else but Montreal right about now. Hands up all ready to beg off, he turns around and gets cracked in the back of the thigh with another kick! Landon's knee buckles... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and he takes a chop to the chest. The force of the chop knocks him off his feet and down to his knees, again throwing his hands up to try and stop Cortez. But when that doesn't work, he resorts to the old stand-by, the thumb to the eye! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE So much for the 'fair wrestling match' with his soon to be 'friend', eh? COACH All part of the grand scheme. Temporarily blinded, Cortez stumbles around the ring. Maddix breathes a sigh of relief that he's not [i]currently[/i] on the end of a BUTT-kicking before he goes after Cortez. By the arm he drags him around into a forearm shot. And a second. An irish whip then sends Cortez off the ropes, into a back elbo... no, Todd ducks that, bouncing back into a clothesli... no, Todd ducks that too. Third time is the charm though and Landon goes up with a dropkick. Cortez doesn't duck this time, but he goes one better and grabs the top rope, stopping his momentum and causing Landon to crash empty-handed to the canvas. COLE Was that part of the 'grand scheme' too? Clutching his back, into a boot walks Landon, Cortez pulling him in for the RIOT ACT PLU... NO! Maddix immediately senses the danger and scrambles for a corner the moment Cortez lays a hand on him! COLE Maddix HAS to steer clear of that Riot Act Plus. We can't even begin to list the times in the past few months that Cortez has laid him out with that very move. COACH That move should be banned. Cortez doesn't waste time dwelling on it and rushes at Landon in the corner... ...but he gets a knee up, catching Cortez right in the ear! "OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!" The Urban Legend staggers backwards as Maddix reaches back, grabbing the top rope and lifting himself up to the second floor. The knee caught Cortez flush and so busy is he trying to get some bearing back on where he is, Cortez doesn't notice Landon coming off the ropes, hooking the head and driving him straight down with a Flying DDT from the 2nd rope!! COACH There we go! COLE Finally, the former World Champion gets a grip on this match. And that may be all he needs... Rolling Todd over, Landon reaches back and hooks a leg... 1... 2... KICKOUT! "YYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!" Only two but the momentum has turned. Landon climbs back up, watching Cortez try to use the ropes to get up and preventing him from doing so with a foot in the back, choking him on the bottom rope! "ONE!" "TWO!" "THREE!" "FOUR!" 'Clean' break again by Landon, profusely apologising to Hebner as he gets on his case to keep it clean. He promises to do so as he pins Cortez against the ropes... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...laying into him with a knifedge chop. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and another. A straight right hand to the face then drops Cortez to a knee, again earning a reprimand from the senior referee of the OAOAST. "LAN - DON SUCKS!" "LAN - DON SUCKS!" "LAN - DON SUCKS!" "LAN - DON SUCKS!" COACH I thought these people spoke French!? Trying not to let the chants get to him Landon stays on Cortez, shooting him off the ropes. This time Cortez does bounce back into a successful Dropsault, Landon straight on him with a cover... 1... 2... No! With a few words for Hebner, Landon pulls Cortez back up... *SLAP!* [i]"AAAAAAHHHHHH!"[/i] ...and gets lashed with a HARD knifedge! COACH Listen to the girls, just screaming for Landon! They love him the world over! *SLAP!* [i]"AAAAAAHHHHHH!"[/i] COLE Uh... Coach, I think that's LANDON screaming. Again the wailing Landon goes to the eyes though, buying himself time to rub at his reddening chest while Cortez clutches his eyes. Maddix looks angry now, taking it out on Cortez with a couple of forearms before shooing the ref out of the way and hitting the ropes. Wiping out his eyes, Cortez just about sees Landon coming in time to sidestep him though, guiding him into the ropes for an O'Connor Roll... 1... 2... Kickout by Landon, sending Cortez sprawling back towards the ropes. He stops his momentum and turns around, where Landon is waiting with a Hurri-Lanra... NO, CORTEZ SITS OUT WITH A POWERBOMB!! 1... 2... KICKOUT!! Cortez holds his head, thinking that was it. COLE Oh! So close! Megan has her heart in her mouth right about now. COACH Oh boy, does she ever! COLE :huh: Back up, Cortez peppers the legs with kicks again before double Maddix over with a thrust kick buried deep in the gut. The Urban Legend then hooks Landon up and drives him back with a Russian Legsweep, rolling through to his feet and immediately drops a leg across the throat for good measure. Not done yet though, Cortez jumps over Landon and backflips, with a Standing Moonsault... NOBODY HOME! Cortez belly-flops into the canvas and clambers back up, getting caught with the CUCARACHA CUTTER!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COACH Welcome home, Cortez! Dusting his hands in satisfaction, Landon covers up Cortez... 1... 2... NO!! Landon can't believe it either and is much less shy about letting Hebner know about it. "COR - TEZ!" "COR - TEZ!" "COR - TEZ!" "COR - TEZ!" COLE Look at that look on Landon's face. You think he may be getting that sinking feeling? That feeling that maybe, just maybe, he can't beat Todd Cortez after all? COACH What are you talking about, he beat him in Hawaii! COLE Not without a little 'assistance' from the ringpost he didn't. Having had his fill of arguing with the ref, Landon waves Cortez back to his feet ready to finish him off properly this time. Todd pulls himself up and Landon lunges in, throwing a kick. Sweeping the foot away, Cortez avoids it though, pushing Maddix into the ropes and hitting him with a Sitout Spinebuster dead centre of the ring! 1... 2... KICKOUT!! COLE The pace has not so much quickened as gone off the scale right about now. These two have just degenerated into throwing everything they've got, all the big moves in their repetoire, at each other in an attempt to get that three. Both men sense they're one move away from what they set out to achieve tonight. As Maddix climbs back up, Cortez waits on him in the corner. Past La Cucaracha he rushes, coming off the ropes at the side and lunging at Landon with the HOLLOW PPOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIII... ...NO! Maddix LEAPFROGS him! And he catches Todd with a schoolboy... 1... 2... No! First up, Cortez slides behind Maddix and pulls him down with a Backslide... 1... 2... No! Maddix is first up this time and he grabs Cortez by the head... [i]*SMACK!* *SMACK!* *SMACK!*[/i] ...unloading with Kawada kicks right to the bridge of The Urban Legend's nose! COLE That might not be a ringpost, but it may not matter tonight. After the third kick Landon waves his hands wildly, saying that he's going to finish it, running the ropes. Cortez surprises him by jumping up to his feet though, catching him with a hand around the throat for the Urban Assault! Not keen on that idea, Maddix attacks the arm with shots to the arm, before laying in a succession of elbows to the side of the head to break the goozle. Once he's free of the choke, Landon then hooks the head and runs for the ropes. He scales the turnbuckles... ...and gets thrown over the top, Cortez countering the Shiranui attempt... ...but MISSING a Superkick as Landon lands! Cortez slams on the brakes just short of colliding with Hebner, turning around into the waiting arms of La Cucaracha. A Complete Shot drives Cortez face-first into the mat, Landon rolling over on impact and hooking up the head for the dragon clutch!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COLE LAND OF NOD!! He's got it locked in! COACH And when Cortez wakes up, he'll be back home. There's no place like home... there's no place like home... ther... Sitting back on the hold, Maddix realises too late how close he is to the ropes. No time to re-position now though, Maddix trying to put Todd away before he can force a break. Cortez wags a finger to show he's still very much in this match, despite the yells from the outside to quit by Megan, the yells from above him to quit from Landon. "COR - TEZ!" "COR - TEZ!" "COR - TEZ!" "COR - TEZ!" Hearing the support of the crowd, Cortez reaches out... ...but he MISSES the bottom rope by inches, before Landon pulls back on the head! COACH Come on Cortez, give in! Why is he fighting the best thing to possibly happen in his career? COLE Because I don't think anyone but Landon honestly believes that it's a positive move! Cortez gets his forearms underneath him and manages to shuffle forward a couple of inches. And as Landon shakes his head, fearing the worst, he reaches out again... ...AND GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!!! "YYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!" "ONE!" "TWO!" "THREE!" "FOU..." Breaking the hold angrily, Landon stomps away refuses to believe that Cortez would escape. So frustrated is he that he physically moves Hebner out of the way as he goes back after Cortez. Maddix slides out of the ring and brings Cortez with him, holding onto the arms and positioning himself around the ringpost. COLE Oh no, not this again! He put Cortez out with this in Honolulu! Maddix refuses to listen to Hebner's pleas to rethink what he's doing, gripping onto the wrists and preparing... COLE Come on damnit! What good is Cortez going to be to Cucaracha Internacional with a concussion!? ...yelling something at The Urban Legend before pulling him forward... ...NO! Cortez gets his foot up onto the post and BLOCKS a face-first collision with the steel!! "YYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHH!" Maddix's eyes bulge as Cortez continues to block, ripping his arms away from Landon's and chasing after him, rightfully pissed at his attempts to injure him. In scrambles Landon, waiting as Cortez slides in after him. Cortez ducks the right hand though, goozling Landon on the turn and HITTING THE URBAN ASSAULT!! COLE COUNT! 1... 2... 3- SHOULDER UP!! "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Crawling for the ropes, it seems Landon has had enough. Cortez, however, has not and grabs him by the waistband of the shorts to prevent him going anywhere in a hurry. COLE Uh-oh. I think Maddix may have made a HUGE mistake and he might be about to be read the Riot Act! COACH So injuring someone with a piledriver is okay!? Cortez drags the pleading Landon to his feet. A boot to the gut doubles him up, Cortez dragging him into a standing headscissors and... ...going nowhere, as MEGAN GRABS ONTO HIS FOOT!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COLE Oh, what a surprise! That's the only counter Maddix knows. Able to kick Megan off though, Cortez drives a knee to the side of the head to keep Landon subdued and re-asserts the standing headscissors, tumbling overhead and... ...coming down hard, WITH LANDON ON TOP AS MEGAN GRABS [i]HIS[/i] FOOT!! COLE WAIT! 1... MEGAN CLINGS ON FOR DEAR LIFE! 2... AND HEBNER DOESN'T SEE IT! 3!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" COLE AW, you've got to be KIDDING me!! *DINGDINGDING!* Pulled out of the ring, Landon embraces his sweet Valentine and the woman that just saved his ass as "Megalomaniac" cues up again. Sitting up, Cortez holds the back of his head with the slow realisation of what has just happened. He turns and sees Landon and Megan already halfway up the ramp, Landon delighted and rubbing salt in the wounds by pointing out very clearly that he and Megan are once again his partners! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner... LLLAAAANDOOON "LA CUCARACHA"... MMMMMAAAAAADDIIIIIIIIIIIIXXXXXXXXXXX!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COLE And as a result, Todd Cortez is now a part of Cucaracha Internacional! Unbelievable! Landon and Megan embrace again as Todd tries to contain his anger up in the ring. COACH Oh, what a homecoming! The OAOAST's very own Kanye West and Chris Martin! COLE No prizes for guessing which is which either. Climbing to his feet, Cortez hangs his head on the ropes as Landon waves from the aisleway. To his fans first and then to Todd, mouthing the words "WELCOME BACK, BUDDY!" as clearly as possible, which earns a cold stare from his on-again, off-again, now on-again tag team partner. COLE What a night in Montreal. A fantastic edition of HeldDOWN~!, albeit it with a somewhat downer of an ending. We promised the OAOAST's direct course would be dramatically altered tonight and it certainly has. Where do we go from here? Well, Detroit! Same time, different day, we'll see you next Thursday for the fallout from tonight. Goodnight everyone! *FADE OUT!* Edited February 15, 2008 by King Cucaracha Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
