King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 COLE But tonight we're kicking things off with the search for the new number one contender to the OAOAST World Heavyweight Championship! Eight men, vying for a shot at Tha Puerto Rican, in 45 days at School's Out. It's a traditional single elimination tournament and here's how the bracket looks going into tonight's first round... Here's a neat bracket, with a not-so neat tournament name! [IMG=http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii59/KingCucaracha/contendertournament.jpg] COLE Eight men who've never held the World Title before and a huge opportunity for one of them to follow in the footsteps of PRL back at AngleMania. With that in mind, our first first-round match is on the way, the first ever one on one meeting between Jamie O'Hara and Nathaniel Black. This one's been brewing for some time. Here's how it all got started, back in WDW in the month of May... [QUOTE=WORLD DOMINATION WRESTLING, May 28th] HEYROSS Mr. Black, you don't sound too impressed so far. BLACK Well, it's impressive. It just ain't wrestling. It's all 'razmatazz', as you Yanks like to call it. Waiting on Freeman to get back up, in the corner O'Hara crouches down. As soon as Freeman reaches his feet O'Hara goes to the middle rope again. This time though, as he goes for the Blockbuster, Freeman is able to sidestep, causing J-OH to frontflip to the canvas! BLACK See, you'll never catch me doing something that bloody moronic in a wrestling match. Cover by Freeman... 1... 2... No! Freeman looks to take control now. Front facelock, into a nice vertical suplex, with a floatover... 1... 2... No! Back up again, Freeman whips O'Hara into the corner. The Kansas native tries to follow in with a clothesline. But O'Hara suddenly slinks through the top and middle ropes, narrowly avoiding the charge! Freeman hits the turnbuckles chest first, stumbling into O'Hara who hangs him up on the top rope. As Freeman falls, Jamie then scales the turnbuckles. Up top, O'Hara sets, the crowd buzzing as he soars through the air, CONNECTING WITH A SHOOTING STAR LEGDROP!!! "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" JR Stick that in the highlight reel! BLACK Ugh! Rolling on top, O'Hara hooks the leg... 1... 2... 3!!! *DINGDINGDING!* PENZER Your winner of the match... JJAAAAAAAMMMIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEE... O'HHHHAAAAAAARRRRRRRRAAAAAAA!!! As O'Hara's hand is raised in victory, Black's headset can be heard hitting the table. Black walks over and takes the microphone from Penzer, entering the ring as O'Hara begins to play up his victory. JR Now, what's this about? O'Hara turns around and looks surprised for a moment as Black holds up a hand, telling him to calm down. BLACK Now... I'm new around these parts. But, WDW invited me to come along, all the way over from Japan to watch the show tonight. Seeing as I'm gonna be debuting, Saturday night an' all. I come out 'ere to commentate on a wrestling match... an', what do I get? I get you. Some scrawny little chav flipping around like a bloody jack-monkey! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" BLACK You know, I was pretty 'appy when they said there was a British wrestler on the card tonight. Because let's face it, we British, we made wrestling what it is today. Just like we made all the other sports the world's claimed as their own. We made wrestling. I'm proud to be British. And let me tell you something sunshine, you may be 'British' but you sure as heck ain't a British wrestler, okay! I came back to America for one reason. To show all of you ungrateful Yanks that the British are the best in the world! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" BLACK An' I came to show these people some real wrestling. Some British wrestling. Not this bollocks you just served up. Look at yeh, eh? I bet you ain't even old enough to remember World Of Sport. You're barely old enough to be out of short trousers... Black looks at the increasingly angry O'Hara. BLACK ...infact, it looks like you're still wearin' your short trousers. Well, let me fill you in on something, 'mate'. I am Nathaniel Black and I am the flag-bearer of British wrestling. I'm not some glorified circus act like you. So, if you wanna know what real British wrestling is like, you can watch me at Triumph and I'll teach you a lesson or two, how's that? Black 'passes' the microphone to O'Hara. It falls at The Birmingham Bad Boy's feet though, O'Hara looking thoroughly POed as Black strides off. [/QUOTE] COACH And 10 months on, they've had zero one on one matches. Disappointing. COLE Well, yes. But that changes tonight. Unfortunately WDW folded before they could settle their score there and it would be a few months before Nathaniel Black returned to the OAOAST, after the acquisition of HI-YAH. And the first thing he did after returning in London, England was attack Jamie O'Hara backstage. The two ended up trying to settle their differences in, of all things, a Penalty Shootout at November Reign. That ended with a 3 on 1 attack on O'Hara and a serious concussion delivered via a soccer ball to the face from Black. When O'Hara returned from injury in January, OAOAST President AngleSault tried to put a halt to the rivalry by teaming the two Englishmen up in the Anderson Cup, hoping that by teaming with one another Black would learn to respect the different style of wrestling that O'Hara impliments. That, unfortunately, didn't work out as Black laid O'Hara out after their elimination in the Conference Semi Finals. So now, finally, the two are paired up to settle their differences the old fashioned way. A battle of the Brits to kick off the #1 Contender's Tournament, let's take it to Michael Buffer. *DINGDING!* BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, our opening contest is a First Round Match in the European Vacation #1 Contender's Tournament, scheduled for one fall! "Chelsea Dagger" by The Fratellis begins to pump through the arena, accompanied by the flashing of red, white and blue strobe lights around the entrance way. As the intro ends, Nathaniel Black punches his way through the curtain, permanent scowl on his face as he unbuckles his 6-Man Tag Team Championship and raises it above his head with a shout. Black then walks on with nose turned up (well, we are in France) and the title over his shoulder. BUFFER Introducing first, from London, England. Weighing two hundred and thirty eight pounds... he represents Cucaracha Internacional and is one third of the OAOAST World 6-Man Tag Team Champions... NNAAATTHHHAAAAAANNIIIIEEEEEELLLLL... BBLLLLLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACCKK!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Black marches up the ring steps and into the ring, climbing the turnbuckles to punch his fists into the air again. The aggressive Englishman gets on referee Charles Robinson's back before the match has even begun, telling him exactly what he expects of him. COACH Finally, Nathaniel Black gets an opportunity around here. He has to be the most hard-done by wrestler in OAOAST history, thanks to bias American flag-wavers like AngleSault. COLE And like Landon Maddix, who pulled him from the 6-Man Tag Team Title match at Leap Year Spectacular and at Cibernetico? COACH Hey listen, Landon made an executive decision and it paid off. Until Cortez piledrove him... but, that's not the point. Landon ain't the problem. He sees something big in Nat Black and so do I, this is gonna be his chance to shine I'm calling it. "OOOOOOOOIIIIIIII!" "Fix Up, Look Sharp" pounds out next and Black's scowl becomes even scowlier, as Jamie O'Hara makes his way out. All business tonight, O'Hara heads straight down the aisle with none of his usual flash or excitement. BUFFER And his opponent. From Birmingham, England... he weighs one hundred, seventy six pounds. "THE BIRMINGHAM BAD BOY"... JJJAAAAAAAAMMMMIIIIIIEEEEEEE... OOOOOOO'HHAAAAAAAARRRRRRRAAAAAAA!!!! "YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" O'Hara slides into the ring and immediately Black marches over to give him the intimidation treatment. Going nose-to-nose, O'Hara doesn't back down and the two mouthy Brits exchange words and threats before the referee gets in between to seperate them. It's clear he's not going to be able to do that for long though, so he very quickly checks O'Hara out for weapons before calling for the bell. *DINGDINGDING!* COLE Here we go... Straight on the bell, O'Hara runs at Black who throws a clothesline. O'Hara manages to duck underneath, but Black turns on his heels and WALLOPS O'Hara with the Black Lariat, dumping him right on the back of his head!! COLE Wham! It could be over already! 1... 2... NO! COLE Man, only two but O'Hara couldn't have wished for a worse start. He walked right into that Lariat, no more than ten seconds in. COACH Nathaniel Black is officially not playin'. Pulling O'Hara to all fours, Black delivers a couple of hard kneestrikes to the face of The Birmingham Bad Boy, before pulling him to his feet. Holding him by the head, he rears back and delivers another Lariat, quickly cradling O'Hara up again... 1... 2... KICKOUT! With a frustrated glare over at the referee, Black climbs back to his feet and waits for O'Hara to drag himself back up, loading up a third Lariat. COLE There is no feeling out process here, Black has gone directly for the kill tonight! O'Hara is already wobbly and unsteady on his feet, as he turns towards Black. Eyeing his bitter rival up, a loud roar escapes Black's mouth as he puts every ounce of himself into a third Lariat... NO, DUCKED! O'Hara avoids it and pulls Black down with a prawn hold... 1... 2... NO! Both men are back to their feet and O'Hara strikes first with a kick. Quickly he unloads with a series of quick kicks to the legs before leaping up and delivering a spinning back kick to the chest. Black takes only a couple of steps backwards though, before charging right back forwards and knocking O'Hara flying with a strong European uppercut! Falling into the ropes, J-OH isn't about to back down and comes right back at Black with some more rapid kicks. He gets caught behind the head and clubbed with another European uppercut though, this one keeping him down and knocking the wind out of him. COLE Man, these two are certainly making up for lost time here tonight! A breathless opening to this presentation of HeldDOWN~!, live from Paris, France, we thank you once again for joining us if you're tuning in a little late. After the frenetic opening, Black is happy to slow things down a little now. He stomps down on the chest of Jamie, twice, before pinning him against the bottom rope and choking him with his boot. "ONE!" "TWO!" "THREE!" "FOU..." 'Clean' break by Black, only to grab the feet of O'Hara. As O'Hara grabs the middle rope Black then pulls up and launches his opponent into the air. O'Hara shocks Black by pulling out a BACKFLIP and landing on his feet, then evading his charge and sending him tumbling through the ropes and to the floor! Before Black can get his bearings, O'Hara then hits the ropes and cartwheels through the air, TAKING BLACK OUT WITH A SPACE FLYING TIGER DROP ON THE OUTSIDE!!!! "YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE INCREDIBLE MOVE! COACH They haven't seen anything like that in France since... ah fuck, I don't know nothin' about France. O'Hara tags the hands of some of the French fans, who don't seem to mind the fact he's an Englishman and are just having a good time. COLE Already the two contrasting styles are clashing here. Black determined to dominate with brute force while O'Hara is trying to use his speed and agility to out-fox his opponent. Dumping Black back inside, O'Hara heads for the top rope. In one leap he reaches the top, waiting for a second for Black to turn before taking off with a Flying Spinning Wheel Kick... but Black [i]just about[/i] catches O'Hara, enough to drop him into a quick backbreaker. Flipping him over, Black then sits down and applies a camel clutch on The Birmingham Bad Boy. COACH But that's exactly where that style is going to get you. You keep taking those high-risk, low reward moves and sooner or later it's gonna cost you. Especially against someone like Nathaniel Black. COLE Who won't be taking any high-risks, that's for sure. Black sits back and asks the referee to check for a submission. Not coming yet though, so Black decides to try and force the issue by FISHHOOKING the mouth of Jamie O'Hara. Referee Robinson quickly breaks that up but Black isn't done yet. Reaching back, he grabs one of O'Hara's training shoes and pulls his leg back, tucking it under his arm while keeping the camel clutch applied! That simple twist puts J-OH in a world of hurt. But still he refuses to give up. Impatient, Black again fishhooks the mouth and after a count of five the referee forces him to break the hold. COACH See, we keep saying how hard O'Hara is to catch. But once you catch him, he ain't much of a wrestler. COLE I don't know about that... COACH He's not in the same league as Nathaniel Black, that's for sure. COLE On the mat? That may be true. But Jamie's tough, you can't deny that. With O'Hara on all fours, Black clinches up on the head and again delivers a hard knee strike to the face! And another one! O'Hara's body flails about as the knees rain in, a third and a fourth connecting before Black lets him go. O'Hara looks up dazed at the lights, until a knee drop comes down across his chest and he's covered... 1... 2... No! Black catches O'Hara before he can get up, trying to apply a Crossface (sharp exhale!). Before he can lock it in, O'Hara tumbles forward and escapes the hold, quickly to his feet. COLE That was a nice escape. COACH Eh. Black tries to attack again with another European uppercut. O'Hara turns away from it though, hooking Black up for a backslide. Setting himself and refusing to go down, Black blocks the pin attempt until he can get his footing, then leans forward to bring O'Hara up and over his back in front of him. A knee to the gut doubles O'Hara up, leaving him open for Black to grab his wrists and cross his arms in an 'x', covering his nose and mouth. O'Hara reaches his foot out in search of the ropes but is pulled back into the centre of the ring each time he gets close. With the arms still crossed over Black then pulls O'Hara backwards, driving a headbutt in between the shoulder blades! O'Hara falls to his knees and Black digs a knee in the back looking for the submission. COLE Very unique submission hold right here. COACH Very unique if you don't watch a lot of European wrestling. COLE And I suppose you do Coach? COACH Oh yeah. Big Daddy, the other big guy with the beard, all the greats. I'm a student of the game, come test me. Struggling to find away out, J-OH manages to get his feet back underneath him and throws his legs back looking to roll Black up. But Black sits down on it and pins Jamie down instead... 1... 2... NO! Black hangs onto O'Hara's baggy vest top as he gets back up, preventing him from getting away and allowing Nathaniel to pull him backwards, clubbing the kidneys with a forearm. COLE And Nathaniel Black, continues the weardown process. Scoop and a slam plants O'Hara. Black isn't satisfied with that though, picking O'Hara back up and sending him into a corner. From the opposite side Black charges in and sandwiches The Birmingham Bad Boy in the corner with a flying knee attack! Off the ropes, Black then catches O'Hara on his way out of the corner with another high knee and covers... 1... 2... Kickout! Gutwrench, and a suplex, Black hooking both legs this time... 1... 2... Another Kickout! Well and truly pissed off now, getting right in the face of the referee risks a DQ for Black. He eyeballs Robinson, trying to intimidate him, before going back after O'Hara. COACH So, we're in France with two English wrestlers... why do we have to have an American referee? COLE What difference does that make? COACH Plenty. As O'Hara reaches his feet, he shocks Black with a forearm to the face! Black shakes it off and responds with an elbow strike. O'Hara comes right back with another forearm though and the French fans begin to get behind him. Looking to put an end to the exchange, Black delivers a hard European uppercut. He manages to knock O'Hara off his feet, but The Birmingham Bad Boy rolls right back up and connects with a desperation Busaiku Knee Kick to put Black down!! "YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Both men remain down, with referee Charles Robinson starting a standing ten count. COLE What an effort from these two, all in pursuit of the shot at the World Championship at School's Out. And this is just the first match in the tournament! COACH Only one these guys are gonna still be in the tournament in Spain next week. And I know everybody there loves Cucaracha Internacional, they're all pulling for Nat' Black right now. After taking advantage of the count to recharge their batteries, it's Black up first at the count of '6'. O'Hara is close behind him though. Looking to keep the pace at a minimum, Black grabs a headlock. O'Hara is quick to shoot him off, dropping down as Black rebounds off the ropes. A leapfrog follows... but Black catches O'Hara! Backing into a corner, Black aims O'Hara towards the opposite set of turnbuckles and charges... only for J-OH to slide down back, looking for a sunset flip... 1... Black rolls through, attempting a boston crab. However O'Hara manages to bridge up and pulls Black forward in a body-scissors. The Brit manages to avoid faceplanting into the mat. But as he pulls himself back up, his face gets mashed regardless, by a spinning wheel kick from O'Hara! Cover... 1... 2... No! COLE O'Hara starting to quicken the pace, which is bad news for Nathaniel Black! With forearm brandished, Black charges, right into a hurricanrana and a cradle of the legs... 1... 2... NO! Finding himself near the ropes, O'Hara ducks to the outside while Black pulls himself to his feet. The sudden change of pace has left him off his guard and he takes a second to realise where O'Hara is, that being behind him. And that second proves costly, as O'Hara springboards and connects with a missile dropkick! COACH O'Hara sees his opportunity and follows up with a STANDING SHOOTING STAR PRESS, hooking a leg... 1... 2... KICKOUT! COLE Oh, that was a close one! But The SuperJay is most certainly building some momentum here! Favouring his ribs a little as he climbs to his feet, up to the middle rope heads O'Hara. After flashing a sign towards the Paris crowd he then stands, waiting for Black to take a step closer before tumbling forwards with the Blockbuste... NO! Black sidesteps and O'Hara... LANDS ON HIS FEET! O'HARA Hells yeah! Off the ropes runs O'Hara, as Black realises his sidestep didn't work as perfectly as he thought. Seeing Black come towards him, O'Hara tries to go through the legs with a baseball slide. But he gets caught and muscled back up by Black, right into a HALF NELSON BACKBREAKER!! "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COACH Well, he caught him. Cover by Black... 1... 2... NO!! Flipping O'Hara over, Black goes right for the Crossface Chickenwing though! O'Hara manages to get to his feet in a flash with Black clinging onto his arm, trying to apply the chickenwing and reel him back in. A reach for the ropes fails for O'Hara who barely has the strength to pull the 238 pounds Black around and ends up getting pulled back into the centre of the ring. But he still has one arm free and throws back an elbow! Another! And a third, managing to fend Black off! COACH This is desperation at this point, nothing more. Shaking off the elbows, Black goes for the arm again. O'Hara pulls off a surprise switch however, ending up behind Black and pushing him forward into the turnbuckles! Hitting shoulder-on, away from the corner staggers Black. O'Hara quickly knocks him down with a kick and ducks out of the ring, signalling he's going up top again. COLE This is no desperation move though! This could be the 630. COACH He's not moving too fast up those ropes now though, is he? Coach is right as O'Hara struggles from the effects of the backbreaker on his way up top. He still reaches the third floor unscathed though and points imaginary guns down at Black beneath him, letting out a "BOOM" before taking off, tumbling through the air with the 630... ...BUT NOBODY HOME!!! "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHH!" Black rolls out of the way and O'Hara bounces HARD off the canvas. As he gets back to his feet, O'Hara is then measured... and scythed down with a Lariat!! COLE Devestating clothesline... but Black isn't done! Signalling for the end, Black hauls O'Hara roughly back to his feet the moment his body hits the mat. Half nelson, elevated up into the Half Nelson Backbreaker again! This time though he holds on, not letting O'Hara fall to the canvas. Crossing the arms underneath the body, Black roars and quickly elevates O'Hara up again... before this time sitting out with the BRITTANIA BOMB!!!! COLE That's gonna do that! 1... 2... 3!!!! *DINGDINGDING!* COLE Nathaniel Black wins the first one on one meeting with Jamie O'Hara and he is going to the semi-finals! BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, your winner of the match, advancing in the #1 Contender's Tournament... NATHANIEL... BBLLLLLLLAAAAAAACCKK!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Throwing the limp legs of O'Hara away from him, Black climbs back to his feet looking pretty pissed off for a guy who's now just two matches away from a World Title shot. Pushing referee Robinson aside he kneels down next to O'Hara and puts the badmouth on him, before SLAPPING the defenceless Brit across the face! Only then is Black willing to have his hand raised in victory, throwing his other hand up with a "V" for victory. COLE On this occassion O'Hara may have taken one risk too many. And it backfired, as he misses the 630 and was swiftly put away by Nathaniel Black, who now awaits the winner between The Cuban Wall and The Mad Cappa in the semi-finals! Black steps over O'Hara and retrieves his 6-Man Tag Team Title, exchanging a few heated words with some of the French fans as he does so. Security is quick to step in as the arguementative Black tries to go nose to nose with one fan who's giving him a hard time, Black daring the "frog" to meet him outside later if he "wants a kicking". Black then marches off, while in the ring O'Hara holds his head in his hands as he lays hurt on the mat. COLE One semi-finalist determined, we've still got three to go. A packed night of action here in Paris, don't go anywhere as we will be right back! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
