King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted April 10, 2008 COLE Okay, we've seen three of our first round matches in the number one contender's tournament and we're about set for our fourth in a few moments. A lot of history between Leon Rodez and Christian Wright, since the very first moment we saw Wright arrive in the OAOAST three years ago. Their paths cross again tonight, but for once it's not because of that history but with the goal of moving one step closer to the World Heavyweight Championship. COACH Well, I know Theodore Moneymaker's a confident man. He feels like finally Christian's in a position to break out and make a big name for himself, thanks to the guidance and backing of The Enterprise. Leon on the other hand? I mean, he's been around for almost four years now and he's done pretty much everything, except be World Champion. So he's got something to prove tonight as well. COLE That's right. For all Leon's ability and popularity, it's amazing to think he's had only two, maybe three shots at the World Heavyweight Championship total. And I think the majority of the OAOAST fans feel it's about time that changed. After being caught up in personal situations for so long, is now the time for Leon Rodez to put his career back on track and chase that elusive run at the OAOAST World Title? We're going to find out soon enough. Todd Cortez of course awaiting the winner next week, let's got to the ring to this final first round match... The Parisian crowd rise to their feet one more time as "Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top hits and out heads the OAOAST's top Financial Analyst. And, for that matter, the only Financial Analyst. Stepping onto the stage, Christian Wright adjusts the lapels of his red polyester jacket and smiles in self-satisfaction as Mackenzie DeCenzo shows him off to the Paris crowd. Patting his briefcase, Wright gentlemanly allows Mackenzie to head to the ring ahead of him as he makes his way down to the ring. BUFFER The following contest is a first round match in the European Vacation #1 Contender's Tournament, scheduled for one fall! On the way to the ring, becoming accompanied by the Chief Financial Officer of The Enterprise, MACKENZIE DECENZO! Now residing in Washington D.C... he weighs in at approximately 8 1/3 [i]bars of gold[/i]! Representing The Enterprise, he is "THE NATURAL"... CCHHHRRRIIIIIIISSSSSTTIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAANN... WWWWRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGGHHHHTT!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Stepping into the ring, Wright loosens up his tie and gets rid of the business attire, as he steps out of the boardroom and into a big one on one encounter. Mackenzie takes possession of the briefcase and keeps it safely in said possession, even when the referee tries to confiscate it as a foreign object. COACH Dude better watch himself. Those are some confident papers in there, suckers have been killed for touching less. COLE Are there also some 'confidental' bricks in there by any chance? COACH Please, the thing's made of metal, it's heavy enough and solid enough as it is. COLE ... COACH I mean... uh... no. As Wright continues to process of getting himself ready, making you wonder why he really needs the shirt and tie for his entrance anyway, the fans erupt for the cueing of "Rock The Casbah". Wright turns his nose at the reaction for his bitter rival. And the reaction only gets louder and more prolonged, as Leon Rodez's black and purple robe sweeps out through the entrance. Smile on his face as you'd expect, Leon does a quick twirl before heading down the aisle, tagging away at the hands of the fans. BUFFER And his opponent! Hailing from Grand Rapids, Michigan and weighing in tonight at two hundred, eighteen pounds... "THE NEW-AGE LOVE MACHINE"... "THE GRAND RAPIDS GOLDEN CHILD"... ladies and gentlemen, this is "SILKY SMOOTH"... LLLLLLEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOONN... RRRRRRRROOOOOOODDEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZ!!!! "YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Leon jogs up the ring steps, stopping at the top as he gets a first look at CW. Shaking the head, he climbs to the middle turnbuckle and salutes the crowd before vaulting on in over the top. COACH You'd have thought with Mackenzie out here, maybe Leon would have brought out 'Miss Women's Champion' with him, huh? Which leaves me with two conclusions. One, Maggie's scared of Mackenzie. Or two, there's a little trouble in paradise, shall we say? COLE Well Maggie doesn't have an active manager's license. COACH You mean to tell me she had a wrestler's license when she won the Women's Title? COLE You'd have to ask OAOAST Head Office about that. COACH Exactly. No matter. I'm sure Mackenzie and Maggie will be getting better acquainted at some point in the future. *taps nose* Away goes Leon's robe in the hands of a ringside attendant, Wright's jacket far too expensive to be handled by French peasants apparantly as it stays under the bottom turnbuckle with his briefcase under Mackenzie's watchful eye. COLE I talked to Leon earlier and he's feeling good tonight. He got a good luck message from California earlier tonight from Jade Rodez. I can guarantee you, that meant a lot to him considering the stress of recent weeks... caused, of course, by Christian Wright's boss, Theodore Moneymaker. *BELL RINGS* These two, having quite the past, immediately lock up, with Christian quickly shoving Rodez down to the mat. Rodez rolls backwards and up to his feet, then they immediately lock up again. Christian shoves him down again. Rodez rolls back to his feet, teases going in for a lock-up, but fakes out Wright and gets a single-leg takedown. Rodez grabs a leg, but is shoved down when Wright places his foot into Rodez's chest and pushes. Both men come up and Leon scores with a quick armdrag. Both back up and Wright gets a quick armdrag. Both men get up and throw dropkicks at the same time, blocking each other's moves. Both get up and start exchanging chops at such a rapid speed that it would be pointless to archive each individual chop. Wright finally stops it with a knee to the mid-section. Wright comes off of the ropes, but runs into a back body drop by Rodez. Leon comes off of the ropes and goes for a jumping back senton...Christian rolls away and Leon hits nothing but mat. Wright's up immediately and throws a low kick to the seated Leon, but Rodez ducks back to avoid it. Leon kips up, then goes for a bodyslam. But, Christian slips out the back side and then hits an atomic drop. With Rodez bent over in mid-ring, Christian runs. He bounces off of the ropes behind Leon to gain speed, then runs and bounces off on the other side. He charges ahead...and runs right into a dropkick to the face! PIN! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both men are up, Leon first. Rodez gives Wright an Irish whip into a corner, then charges in after him. Wright gets his boot up and Rodez eats it. Christian runs out of the corner and leaps over Rodez, going for a sunset flip. Leon rolls out of it, then dropkicks the seated Wright in the face. Leon pulls Wright up, forgoing a cover. Rodez sends Wright off with an Irish whip. Wright comes off of the ropes, ready to throw a clothesline. But, Leon leaps and goes behind with a schoolboy... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Rodez gets up before Wright and pulls him into a small package... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Rodez grabs Wright by the arm and gives him an Irish whip as they're coming up to their feet. Christian ducks the clothesline, so Leon runs the opposite direction. They bounce off of the ropes on opposite directions; Leon nails Christian with a flying bodypress into a cover... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Wright quickly pops up to his feet, dazed...then stumbles through the ropes and goes to the outside. COLE These two have had their battles, but Leon Rodez is full force ahead, which has been too much for The Natural. Wright is collecting himself at ringside. The referee isn't counting since he's distracted trying to get Leon not to do a dive onto Wright. Wright collects his thoughts, as MacKenzie tries to comfort him. Christian finally points her away and slowly crawls onto the apron. Leon backs off as Wright comes back through the ropes. Wright's strategy seems to be slowing down Rodez's high-speed offensive attack, which is working, as he slowly manuevers his way into a collar-and-elbow lock-up. Wright grabs onto a headlock. Rodez lifts him in the air, but Wright reverses the momentum and brings Rodez down with a grounded headlock. Rodez works his legs upward, and escapes the headlock by bringing Wright into a side headscissors. Wright performs a bridge, then quickly drops down and kips up to throw Rodez off-guard and escape the headscissors. Christian grabs Rodez's heel before he can get up and rolls him backwards onto his feet. Christian goes back to the headlock while standing. Leon locks his arms around Wright's wrist, then rolls to his side, rolling Wright with him. However, Christian keeps ahold of the headlock and applies it on the mat in a seated position, yanking back almost like a crossface. COACH You can tell that these two came into the match with completely differing strategies to counter-act what they knew the other was going to do. Currently, Christian Wright is slowing the speedster down and wearing him out with headlocks. Wright cranks on the hold, trying to squeeze the life out of Rodez's head. Leon grabs Wright by the waist and rolls him to his side, onto his shoulders... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both men come up to their feet and Rodez scores with a snapmare into a lateral press... ONE! KICKOUT! Both men up, Wright goes back for a headlock takeover, but misses Rodez and falls to his stomach. Rodez hooks the near arm around his shin, then rolls over Wright and hooks his arm, bringing him into an inverted crucifix cradle... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Both men back up to their feet, Rodez immediately drops down and brings Wright down to his stomach with a drop toe hold. He grabs Wright's near arm and starts wrapping it for La Magistral, but Wright turns around mid-twist and brings Rodez over with a schoolboy... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Wright grabs a front facelock as both men rise to their feet, but Rodez quickly twists out and grabs a side wristlock. Wright rolls himself to untwist his arm, then tippy-toes around Rodez's back, wrapping his arm around Leon's neck so he can come around the front and lock in a headlock to escape and reverse. Rodez pushes his palm up underneath Christian's jaw, then gets under him to shove Wright into the ropes. The referee orders a clean break and Rodez gets away quick enough to not necesitate a count. Rodez says something to the referee about the count...and gets a boot to the stomach for his troubles. Wright then leaps over Leon, going for a sunset flip...but Leon sits down and hooks Wright's legs under his arms... ONE! TWO! ...Wright uses his leg strength to bring Rodez over into a sunset cradle... ONE! TWO! Rodez rolls out! He's on his feet and charges at Wright...but Wright puts his feet up and monkey flips Leon over the top rope! Rodez lands hip-first on the edge of the apron, which sends him flying face-first into the guardrail! COACH That's not good... COLE Not at all...he could've blown out his hip, knocked himself out, gotten a concussion, cut himself open bad, broken an orbital bone...nothing good can come of this. Wright comes to his feet and looks down at Rodez, whose blood starts slowly trickling out of his forehead out of a small cut. The referee leaps out of the ring, concerned, as Rodez looks to not be moving... COACH Our official is calling out more referees...never a good sign. COLE Of course, right as something serious and important happens, we have to take a time-out....more HeldDOWN~! in a few! *COMMERCIAL BREAK* COACH We're back, and things are not looking great... Christian Wright is still standing in the ring, now bowing sarcastically over what he's done. Leon Rodez is being helped to his feet by a bevy of referees and agents, as his face is both red from blood and bruised from the header he took into the guardrail. A replay is shown of his bad bump. As the referees are helping Rodez to his feet, Wright comes through the ropes and stands over him on the apron. The referees start assisting Rodez in walking to the locker room...but two steps in, Christian comes off of the apron and hits a diving knee strike to the back of Leon's head, knocking down the referees helping him and sending Leon back into the guardrail! COLE Christian Wright, you piece of garbage! Wright pulls Rodez up and throws him back into the ring, then slides himself in and goes for a cover. He has to yell for the referee to come back in, and seconds later the ref does... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Wright yells at the referee to count faster. Christian pulls the groggy Leon up with a front facelock, then lifts him for a vertical suplex, holding him upside-down in the air and letting the blood rush to and out of his head. The crowd starts counting under their boos as the seconds pile up... ...NINE! TEN! ELEVEN! TWELVE! THIRTEEN! FOURTEEN! FIFTEEN!... ...and Wright brings him crashing down with the suplex. Wright looks down at himself and sees Leon's blood on his skin. He grabs a hankerchef out of the referee's pocket and wipes the blood off of himself, then tosses it on the ground, much to the referee's chagrin. He then goes for a lateral press with no leg hooked... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Wright immediately gets up and stomps Leon right on the wound. Wright looks out to the crowd, who do not like what he is doing, and takes another bow. He pulls Rodez, who is starting to become dead weight, up to his feet slowly, then sends him off to the ropes with an Irish whip. Rodez bounces off the ropes and Wright catches him with an attempted sleeperhold, but Leon somehow finds the adrenaline to go to the side and shove Wright off to the ropes. However, he cannot do much more to defend himself, as Wright easily bounces off of the ropes and BLASTS Leon with a spear! Wright floats right into a cover... ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! Wright, looking angry, immediately pulls Rodez up and throws him into a corner. Wright blasts Rodez, whose blood is now covering his face, with a chop, followed by another. Christian pumps up really big for the third chop...but Leon pushes up his feet and kicks Wright in the arm! Wright stumbles backwards, but composes himself and charges in, nailing Rodez in the jaw with a deadly European uppercut! Wright sends Rodez into the opposite corner with an Irish whip, then charges at him and crushes him with a double-kneed leaping strike, one of the knees catching Leon right under the jaw. COLE Wright using a signature move of the Silky Smooth One to punish him further in what has quickly turned into a brutal match! Wright backs out of the corner, motioning for Rodez to come at him. Leon stumbles out of the corner, then runs right into a European uppercut that sends him flying back into a seated position into the corner. Wright steps in and chokes Rodez with the sole of his boot. The referee counts him off... ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! ...Wright breaks cleanly. He then grabs Rodez by the feet and tries pulling him up out of the corner to drop him on his back...but Rodez backflips onto his knees and sends Wright off with a punch to the jaw! Rodez is still doozy from the damage he's received, which gives Wright time once again to shake off the blow and send him back into the corner with a shoulder charge to the mid-section. Wright grabs Rodez by the wrist, pulls him out of the corner, and right into a short-arm clothesline! Wright pulls Rodez up by the wrist, then performs another short arm clothesline. Wright pulls him up a third time, pulls him in short-arm style...then goes for a sleeperhold again! This time, Rodez quickly drops down and performs a jawbreaker to escape! Wright stumbles back into the ropes from the impact, then dazily strolls forward. Rodez sticks his legs up, looking to go for a bodyscissors victory roll of sorts...but Wright snaps out of it and drops down, nailing Rodex with a fistdrop right onto the wound! COACH Rodez is taking a wicked beating here! These two are by far not the best of friends, but this is something else! COLE If Rodez continues to bleed like this and his defense mechanisms continue to dwindle, the referee really should stop this match! COACH If Wright finally gets that sleeperhold he keeps going for, it's for sure lights out for the Grand Rapids Golden Child! Wright pulls Rodez up slowly, using a front facelock. Wright shakes his head, with sweat flying out of his hair, then drops Rodez with a DDT. Wright leans backwards on Rodez, basically sitting down using him as a backrest, for the pin... ONE! TWO! TH-KICKOUT! Wright immediately comes to his feet and starts arguing with the referee. While this is going on, behind his back, Leon Rodez is crawling to the ropes, attempting to use them to pull himself to his feet. He's up to one knee, then Wright turns around and immediately blasts him with a running kick to the face. Wright rolls Rodez under the bottom rope and onto the apron. Wright climbs out to the apron next, then pulls Leon up to his knees with a front facelock. Wright pulls Leon fully to his feet, hooking Leon's right arm around his head. He yanks up on the tights, attempting a VERTICAL SUPLEX ON THE APRON! COLE You don't have to do this! He's injured plenty, Christian! Christian is having a hard time lifting the dead-weight Rodez. He gets Leon lifted half-way up and Rodez starts wiggling his legs. Wright sets him back down and delivers a forearm to the back to settle him down. Christian re-hooks him and lifts him again. Rodez tries wiggling out again, so Christian sets him down and delivers another forearm. Christian brings him up for the third lift....but Leon's wiggling works, as he swings back down and drops Wright face-first on the edge of the apron with a DDT! COLE WOW! CROWD OOOOOOOH!! COACH Both men are down! The referee's starting his count on Rodez! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! ..Wright rolls back into the ring, but he's still down! FIVE! SIX! ...Rodez has pulled himself up using the apron... SEVEN! Wright is up on one knee... EIGHT!...Rodez is half-way in.... NINE! T....RODEZ IS IN! Wright's up and walks over to Leon...but gets a headbutt to the mid-section! Rodez is up and comes off of the ropes...but runs right into another sleeperhold attempt! He tries going to the side, but Wright keeps ahold of the sleeper! Rodez gets under Wright and tries pulling himself down for a jawbreaker, but the hold is locked in tightly. Rodez can't wiggle out of it, and finally Wright brings Rodez down, falling on top of him. The crowd is cheering... "LEEEEEOOOOOON!" "LEEEEEOOOOOON! "LEEEEEEOOOOON!" Clapping and stomping in rhythm, trying to get Leon back up to his feet, can be heard! The referee's checking the hold, showing it's not a choke. He then lifts Leon's arm up... ...and it falls down! The referee lifts the arm up again... ...and it FALLS DOWN! The referee lifts it up again, knowing that one more drop and the match is over!... THE CROWD IS YELLING NOOOOOO! ....and it stays up! The crowd pops huge! Wright tries putting more weight on Leon's head, but Rodez is rolling onto his stomach! He's able to move to his feet much easier. He gets to one knee, as the crowd's cheering him on! Rodez slowly moves up to a standing position. Wright is trying to maneuver him back down, but it isn't working. Rodez is walking over towards the ropes, as Christian keeps ahold of the sleeper. Rodez places his foot on the 2nd rope, then steps up the other foot onto the top rope. The referee seems to be eerie of breaking the hold, even though Rodez is in the ropes. Leon puts his other foot on the top rope, then punches Christian Wright repeatedly, square in the temple. After the fourth punch, Wright loosens up his grip, allowing Rodez to grab onto Wright's head over his shoulder. Rodez pushes off of the ropes...and Feedback THIS! COLE Leon's come back from the almost-dead to hit one of his signature moves! Leon crawls over and lays on Wright... ONE! TWO! TH..... KICKOUT! CROWD OOOOOOOOOH! Rodez has a determined look on his blood-red face, as the plasma drips from his skin. He pulls himself up using the ropes, as Wright is up to one knee in a daze. Both men come to their feet and stagger to mid-ring. Christian throws a punch, it gets blocked, and Leon hits a jab. Wright throws another punch, blocked, Rodez hits a jab. Rodez doesn't wait for the next block and gets in his next jab, followed by a fourth! The crowd is HOT, as he blows a bloody kiss at MacKenzie before stepping back, leaping up, and BLASTING Christian upside the head with an enziguri! COACH MAMA SAID KNOCK YOU OUT! Wright goes down, but is up a few seconds later, holding the back of his head. The crowd is behind Leon 100% as he comes off of the ropes and goes for the Shack Attack...but after the roll, he gets caught and driven DOWN INTO THE MAT with the Wright Off! ONE! TWO! THR..... KICKOUT! CROWD OOOOOOOH! Wright pulls Leon up immediately and Irish whips him into a corner. Christian charges into the corner, but Rodez rolls out and dodges his opponent. Rodez is in mid-ring as Wright turns around...and Rodez nails the Superman Spear in the corner! Wright stumbles out of the corner, right into a sit-out hiptoss. Leon rolls Christian backwards by the ankle, back onto his feet, and Irish whips him in the opposite direction. Rodez bends down, telegraphing his move, and Wright kicks him in the chest, then immediately knocks him down with a superkick! Christian immediately flies up to the top rope, then nails a frog splash! COVER! ONE! TWO! THREEEEEEEEE......KICKOUT! Christian can't believe it, as the crowd cheers! Wright pulls Rodez up in a double-underhook position, signalling he's attempting the Nightmare on Wall Street! Rodez drops down to a knee, blocking the lift. Wright forearms Rodez in the back, then goes for the double-underhook again. This time, Rodez incredibly powers Wright up on his back! Wright is hanging upside down off of Rodez, holding onto Leon's arms. Rodez is visibly struggling to keep Christian up in the air, as the crowd applauds him. Rodez then backs up into a corner! Wright's ankles get tangled up behind the top turnbuckle and he's hung in the tree of woe. Leon walks to center-ring, rubs his wound, then looks at the blood on his fingertips, points at Wright, charges forward, and dropkicks him in the face! The impact causes Christian's ankles to unravel, as he crumbles down to the mat. Rodez pulls Wright up and shoves him into the corner stomach-first. Rodez backs up, then hits the double knees to the back! Wright stumbles backwards, as Rodez hooks Wright's head and hits another Feedback This! COVER! ONE! TWO! THRE-KICKOOOOOOOOUT! The crowd unravels as Leon pounds the mat, pumping himself up. Rodez grabs Wright's head over his shoulder and pulls him up like that. He lifts Christian up across his back, going for the Banana Hammock. Wright grabs onto Rodez's head and applies a sleeper, but Leon backs up into the corner and the impact breaks the hold. Leon turns around and immediately hits a rolling Koppo kick. Leon gets up and grabs Christian by the back of the head, then shoves him throat-first across the middle rope. Leon does his little dance...then Calls That Bitch Bojangles! The crowd approves, as he calls for one more. He does his dance again and throws in a "giving head" motion to MacKenzie, then comes off of the ropes...he dives in...and Christian moves! Leon sits on the middle rope, feeling the negative effects of crotching himself. Wright, holding his back, latches onto Rodez with a waistlock. He pulls Leon out of the ropes, then hits a bridging German Suplex! ONE! TWO! THR....KICKOUT! Christian is visibly fatigued, but is trying to move Rodez over towards the ropes to set up for the Conversion Rate. However, Leon knows what he's going for and plants himself down to get a low center of gravity and block the movement. Wright changes his gameplan and butterflies the arms again for the Nightmare on Wallstreet. This time, he gets Rodez up on his shoulder...but Leon slides out of the hold and brings Wright over with a backslide! ONE! TWO! THREEEEEEE....... KICKOUT! Rodez is up first and hits a standing dropkick to the jaw of Wright, knocking him down. Rodez looks up at the top rope, then looks to the crowd. The crowd's noise level rises, knowing what he's alluding to, as he goes to the apron and starts climbing... COACH This could be the 450! If Leon hits this, match OVER! Leon is on the top rope, Wright laying below. Rodez's face is covered in crusted blood. The crowd is chanting... "LEEEEEOOOON!" "LEEEEEOOOON!" Rodez takes off....one rotation...WRIGHT MOVES! LEON LANDS RIGHT ON HIS SURGICALLY RECONSTRUCTED KNEE! COLE Leon went down for months with that knee injury and everything the surgery corrected could be un-done with that one high-risk! Wright, who sat up, looks around and sees Rodez clutching his knee. Christian pulls himself up to his feet, then grabs Leon's feet and drags him to mid-ring...he grapevines the legs...WALL STREET CLOVERLEAF! He hooks the legs and tries to turn the hold, as the crowd screams for Leon...but Christian turns it over...and sits down on it! The crowd screams for Rodez, as Wright cranks on the knee. Rodez has trinkles of blood dripping down his face, as he tries crawling to the ropes with his and his opponent's body weight on him. Rodez is performing the strength to pull himself across the mat. The crowd screams for him...he's close to the ropes...and Wright drags him back to the center of the ring! COACH This doesn't look good for Leon Rodez! Rodez is firmly planted in mid-ring, his injured knee constantly cranked in the Wall Street Cloverleaf. He can't push up to flip Wright out of position to crank the hold, so he turns sideways and grabs Christian's ankle. He then starts twisting it, almost going eye-for-an-eye. Both men are cranking at each other's limbs, as Leon tries to fight off the instinct of tapping out. COLE This isn't just about their own personal hatred or any gang war; this win will get these men one step closer to the biggest crown in the sport, something they want more than words can express! Both men are almost horizontal, as Wright's starting to crumble under the pain of the anklehold. They see that both of their holds have been basically rendered ineffective and almost at the same time, they let go. The crowd applauds the heart shown by these men, as they come up to their feet gingerly and slowly. Once they're up, both are standing mid-ring. Rodez BLASTS Wright in the face with a forearm strike, and Wright responds with a European uppercut. Rodez responds with a forearm and gets another European uppercut for his troubles. Wright has Rodez dazed now, so Christian decides to run and bounce off of the ropes. He comes charging...and runs right into a forearm to the face! Wright's down on one knee, so Rodez snap-judges and hooks him in a butterfly position, then nails a Tiger Driver! ONE! TWO! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! HE KICKS OUT! COLE I can't believe it! Rodez lays back out of pure exhaustion. Rodez pulls himself up out of the sheer drive to win. He grabs Wright and pulls him to his feet, but Wright has the energy to kick him in the stomach. In one big rush of adrenaline, Wright hooks the arms, lifts Rodez, and nails the NIGHTMARE ON WALL STREET! But, he doesn't go for the cover! Christian pulls Leon up by the hair and points to the top rope. He muscles Leon up onto the top turnbuckle, then climbs up top himself. Christian hooks Rodez and looks to be going for his finisher, the Stock Market Crash, OFF THE TOP ROPE! He pulls on Rodez, but Leon has snatched onto the top rope and won't let go. Wright delivers two stiff elbows to the back of Rodez's head. He pulls on Rodez again, and no movement. He goes to strike Leon again...and gets a forearm to the face! Rodez blasts him with another, then another! Finally, he grabs the back of Wright's head for added impact and HEADBUTTS him so hard a thud can be heard through the arena! He lets go of Christian...and he tumbles to the mat! COLE He might be out! Rodez looks around at the crowd again, who are cheering him so loudly! Rodez looks down at his knee, which is killing him, but then looks up at the sky and knows World Title chances are rare. So, he loosens the knee brace, then stands on the top rope, takes off.... ...AND HE HITS THE 450 SPLASH! COVER! ONE! TWO! THREEEEEEEEEE! *DING DING* BUFFER YOUR WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEER AND ADVANCING TO FACE TODD CORTEZ IN THE CONTENDERSHIP TOURNAMENT....LEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON ROOOOOOOOOOOOODEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! COLE WHAT A PERFORMANCE! These two warriors unquestionably left it all in the ring tonight! This years-old rivalry came to a head once again tonight with insanely high stakes, and on this night, Leon Rodez was the better man. But even then, these men showed insane skills and heart en route to having what has to be considered an incredible match-up! Referees and officials swarm the ring, as both men lie in the ring, lifeless. Water is poured on both men, as MacKenzie yells for her man to answer her. Leon sits up after assistance from officials, as the pain from his knee is starting to set in again. COACH Ultimate risks were taken in this bout, but for Leon Rodez, it might lead to the ultimate reward in the long-run. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
