King Cucaracha 0 Report post Posted June 29, 2008 (edited) BUFFER At this time, the rules of War Games. War Games consists of nine periods, with the 1st period lasting 5 Minutes. All other periods with last for 2 Minutes. The first member of each team, as specified earlier in the night, will enter the ring and the first period will begin. At the end of the five minute period, the team which wins the referee's coin toss will send in a second man, giving their team a 2 to 1 advantage. Two minutes there after, the opposing team sends in their second man, evening the odds. After period 3, the winners of coin toss sends in their third man. Teams alternate during the remaining periods until all eight men have entered War Games, at which point, The Match Beyond shall begin! The only way to win is via Submission or Surrender! There will be no pinfalls, no countouts and no disqualifications. War Games only ends when a combatants makes any one member of the opposing team surrender. BUFFER Wrestling fans, ARE YOU READY? "YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" BUFFER Minneapolis, Minnesota... ARE... YOU... rrrrrrrrrrrrRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEAAAADDYY!? "YYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" BUFFER Then, for the thousands in attendance and the millions watching around the world on syndicated television... ladies and gentlemen... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRRUMBLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!! After a conference on the outside the two teams pick their opening entrants. Despite the match being Team Sommers versus Team Cone, it seems to be Landon doing most of the talking on his side of the ring. Eventually, it ends up with Nathaniel Black as the nominated opener, entering the ring with encouraging slaps on the back from Blonde and Maddix. "YYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" As soon as Black enters the cage door, he sees ZACK MALIBU stepping into Ring One for Team Sommers to a roaring reception. COLE And how about this, Zack Malibu kicking it off for Team Sly! COACH Talk about opening with a heavy hitter. COLE Stamina will surely be a factor for those who enter War Games early and you've got two great athletes to start. Zack has been in War Games before, he's been in epic encounters before. Black very well-conditioned, but it's going to be interesting to see how the European mat technician adapts to this cage warfare! *DINGDINGDING!* The bell officially sounds and the first five minute period begins. "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" It's a cagey start (no pun intended!) as Black and Zack both try and lure the other into their ring. After a couple of fakeouts and some false starts, eventually Zack decides to take the hit and enters Ring Two, getting predictably jumped on the way in. COLE Black winning the mini battle of wills right there. Black pounds away on Malibu's back with forearms repeatedly. Pulling him upright, Black then delivers a hard forearm shiver before sending him across the ring with an irish whip. Zack bounces back but ducks underneath a Lariat attempt. A back elbow also misses the mark and Zack then explodes off the ropes with a double leg takedown before mounting Black with right hands. Covering up, Black is able to shove Malibu away and get back to his feet. Zack backs him into a corner though and tees off with some more right hands. Defensively the Englishman goes low, looking to pick a leg. Zack evades though... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and connects with a hard knifedge chop as Black gets back to his feet! *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and a second chop. Shaking them off, Black grabs a hold of Zack, switching him into the corner before unloading with a series of three European uppercuts. Only for Malibu to shrug them off, switch... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and respond with three knifedges! COLE We've got two hard hitters here and win no pinfalls and no submissions just yet, they've got the best part of five minutes left to battle it out man to man. COACH Well I don't think Zack wants to battle too long with Nat Black. He best start hitting and moving. Black walks out of the corner, luring Malibu after him then striking with a forearm to intercept him. Back staggers Zack, but he uses the ropes behind him to launch back with a forearm of his own. After the initial dis-orientation of the strike Black shakes his head 'no', showing he's not adversely affected for long. The two proud warriors suddenly square up and go face to face for a second... ...and then both launch into simultaneous headbutts, trying to catch each other out and in the end catching each other flush in the forehead!! "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE OH! Like two rams they BUTT heads and we could hear that skull on skull contact over here at Sofa Central! COACH That wasn't a real smart idea at this point in the match. I mean, that wasn't a real smart idea ever. But, at this rate, what kind of shape are these two gonna be in by the end of this five minutes? That could easily have been a concussion or two dished out. Both men are slow to their feet and clearly feeling the effects. Zack reaches his feet first but seems unsteady, taking a moment's pause to get his bearings. Using the ropes, Black gets back up to find himself stared down by Zack. Despite throbbing heads they come together again and do battle trading forearms now! The Minneapolis crowd are behind each shot, first Black, then Zack, going back and forth. Eventually the shots take their toll and the exchange slows down, despite the encouragement from the team-mates on the floor. Zack gets a sudden shot of adrenaline and hits the ropes, looking to wipe Black out with his leaping lariat. The wily Englishman ducks out of the way just in time though, causing Zack to land awkwardly. Behind him, Black sees an opportunity and lunges forward, aiming for the knee with a chopblock... but Malibu avoids it with a well-timed spin and the Englishman sprawls forward empty-handed. COLE Another stand-off! Man, if Black'd connected on that chopblock Zack and Team Sommers as a whole would be in big trouble! COACH That's what Black needs to be doing, picking a bodypart. These two are taking a lot out of each other so far, Black needs to try and go to the ground where he's most comfortable in my opinion. COLE What a battle we're seeing in this opening period of War Games. Realising how close he came to being hobbled Zack now moves a little more cautiously as Black climbs back up again. The pace slows back down again as the two inch towards each other looking for an opening. Eventually they find their way into a collar and elbow tie-up. Black grabs a side headlock, only for Zack to roll to the side and throw him away. "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" Black comes right back and another lock-up ensues. This time Black finds his way out behind with a hammerlock. Not liking where that's leading to, quickly Zack takes Nathaniel off his feet with a drop toehold. Zack then scrambles back to his feet to safety leaving Black frustrated on the canvas. COLE It's clear that's what Black's looking for now. He's trying to attack a bodypart and try to soften Zack up for later. COACH It's only gonna be a submission that ends this bad boy. And when you're talking submissions, there's few better in the OAOAST at setting them up than Nat Black. Again the two men are careful to rush in after the heavy strikes they've exchanged so far. They inch in towards a lock-up before lunging towards each other. Only one of them goes for the lock-up this time however. That man isn't Nathaniel Black who instead locks his fingers around Zack's facial features and rakes his eyes! Landon shows his appreciation for that one with a beaming smile from the floor. A forearm rocks Zack into a corner, where the Englishman starts to unload with a succession of bodyshots. But even with the sting of an eyerake lingering Zack isn't one to back down and he starts firing off open handed palm strikes to disorientate Nathaniel and regain the advantage! COLE Zack Malibu showing the grit and determination that earned him the moniker The Modern Day Warrior during his time in Japan! Wringing the arm, Zack sends Nathaniel corner to corner with an irish whip. Avoiding a collision with the turnbuckles the Englishman steps up onto the middle turnbuckle and uses his landing as momentum to charge right through Zack with a hard forearm strike! Zack is turned head over heels from the force and lies facedown with Cucaracha Internacional applause showering Black from the arena floor. Black smiles, places a foot on the back of Zack's head and watching him squirm around like a bug. The members of Team Sommers start to look a little more concerned at this point. COACH Looks like Nathaniel's finally got the upperhand. And he's got Zack down, right where he wants him, flat on his face on the mat. COLE This has certainly been a very physical opening to this year's War Games. But now Black will look to dictate the pace with the coin-toss fast approaching. Black finally drops a knee across the neck of The Franchise, causing him to writhe in pain. The Englishman then turns to one section of the Minneapolis crowd and flips them the 'v'-sign. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Measuring Malibu, Black drives his boot into the side of the head. And a second time. Rolling near the far side of the cage wall Zack then finds himself in a bad position, as Black charges in again... *CLANG!* ...but he kicks nothing but steel as Zack thankfully pulls his head clear of contact just in time! COLE That was a close call right there. COACH No kidding, if that double headbutt didn't cause a concussion then that probably would have. Not dwelling on his miss, Black re-targets the neck of Malibu as he traps him in a cravat 3/4 headlock. Cue much confusion on the outside from Landon, as he turns to Megan and asks "hey, didn't I use to do that a lot?" That he did, but probably not as effectively as Black who twists the neck to one side forcing Zack down to one knee with a pained grimace on his face. Black tightens up on the hold with plenty of leverage standing over Zack. He then flashes a confident smile over to the rest of Team Sommers, which doesn't go down well. Black seems happy enough though and content enough to hang onto the modified headlock for the rest of the five minute period. "LET'S GO ZACK!" "LET'S GO ZACK!" "LET'S GO ZACK!" "LET'S GO ZACK!" The support of the crowd fuels the popular Franchise though and with fists clenched he starts to climb to his feet. Black holds onto the cravat, but finds an open palm thrust into his midsection. And a second. And then a third. Doubled over a little, Black recovers quickly and tightens up the hold again. Zack fires right back with three more open thrusts though before dragging the Englishman over! COLE Nice escape from Zack. But the damage may have been done. Rolling back to his feet, Black walks in as Zack comes ROARING... ...ELBOW DUCKED! Black avoids the attack and hooks Malibu up, looking for a back suplex. Up and over the back goes Zack though, landing on his feet and snaring Black, looking for the Angle Slam! Black immediately senses trouble and thrusts downwards with elbows into the neck to fight Zack off. He then hooks Zack up and executes a Half Hatch Suplex! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Off the ropes, Black then looks to follow with a big kneedrop... but finds nobody home! "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" COLE Black misses the knee and ends up jamming it straight into the mat, that could be a costly mistake from the Brit! Cone throws his hands up in frustration, as Black hobbles to his feet. Sneaking up behind Malibu takes advantage as he kicks Black's leg out from under his... uh, leg! Black is quickly back up, but his leg is quickly kicked out from underneath him a second time. And a third time Black hobbles up only to have the knee kicked out! COLE And now it's [i]Zack[/i] targetting a bodypart! He saw his opening and he's got no qualms about taking it, this is War Games after all! COACH If anybody knows that then it'd be Zack I guess. Away into a corner hobbles Black, followed close behind by Malibu. Zack hangs the right knee up over the middle rope and delivers a hard kick to the inner thigh muscle! Still with the leg hung up Black is then further penned in as Zack climbs the middle turnbuckle and extends a fist to the crowd... "ONE!" "TWO!" "THREE!" "FOUR!" "FIVE!" "SIX!" "SEVEN!" "EIGHT!" "NINE!" "TEN!" After the ten right hands, Zack looks up above his head at the cage roof and an idea pops into his head. Grabbing onto the mesh roof he pulls himself upright onto the top rope. Using the roof for balance, he then places his foot on Black's throat in a blatant but ultimately legal choke! COACH Plus, we all know Zack's not above breaking the rules when it suits him! Look! COLE Zack Malibu doing what it takes, whatever it takes, here at The Great Angle Bash! Zack jumps back down into the ring and Black finally pulls himself out of the corner. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" Another knifedge rocks Black, before Zack goes downstairs to trip the knee. Taking him over to the ropes, Zack hangs the foot across the bottom rope and drives all his bodyweight across the knee joint. As this is happening, things are heating up on the floor as the two referees come together to get the coin-toss out of the way. Charles Robinson and Mike Chioda keep the two teams from coming to blows while Nick Patrick is in charge of the flip itself. Getting the call, Phoenix picks 'heads'... ...and HEADS IT IS, to an over-dramatic fist-pump from Landon! COLE And that is bad news for Zack Malibu. Cone gives Sommers a smug smile as the two teams are directed back over to their corners, with James Blonde stripping off his fancy entrance coat and being given a peptalk from La Cucaracha. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the winners of the coin toss... TEAM PHOENIX... "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" BUFFER Team Pheonix have the advantage and will send the next entrant into War Games! COLE So Cone and Cucaracha Internacional will have the man advantage and from the looks of it, James Blonde is going to be on his way in imminently. Which will come as big relief for Nathaniel Black from the ways things are going right now. COACH And big delight for James Blonde. He finally gets his hands on Zack Malibu after all this time! COLE And Zack will get his hands on Blonde after everything he's been running his mouth about these past few weeks. Actually, I'm kinda surprised Blonde would volunteer to go in before Faqu, considering how many times he's fed him to Zack recently. With Blonde continuing to get the peptalk from his mentor, in the cage Zack pulls Black out of Ring Two and to the aprons, then throws him into Ring One. COLE That's a smart strategy from Zack, taking the action as far away from where James Blonde will enter as possible. COACH So, running from him in other words? COLE I wouldn't call it 'running' Coach. He creating space so he doesn't get jumped from behind in twenty seconds time. Zack enters Ring One with Black and absorbs a forearm shot to the gut, pulling the Englishman to his feet and firing off a hard kick to the back of the right knee. Another kick further hobbles Black, allowing Zack to hit the ropes. Black manages to duck underneath a clothesline, but Malibu keeps on running and comes off the opposite set of ropes, taking flight and delivering a Leaping Lariat to knock his man down. :10 :09 The countdown is on for James Blonde, smiling confidently... :08 ...less so as he sees Zack Malibu standing tall in Ring One... :07 ...and even less so as Zack Malibu begins to leave Ring One and enter Ring Two in preparation for his former friend's arrival! COACH Wait a minute... what happened to creating space!? COLE I think Zack just created some. He's gotten Nathaniel Black out of the way and for the time being at least, it's going to be Zack versus Blonde, one on one! :06 :05 :04 :03 All the peptalking in the world isn't going to help James Blonde's confidence now as Zack drops into a crouched position and waves JB on with a smile on his face! Blonde's eyes bug a little and all of Landon's words fall on deaf ears... :02 ...as Blonde frantically waves Faqu over and points him into the ring! :01 *BZZT!* BUFFER Now entering War Games, representing Team Phoenix, one third of the OAOAST World 6-Man Tag Team Champions... "THE SAMOAN WRECKING BALL"... FFFAAAAAA - QQUUUUUUUU!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" COLE You've got to be kidding me! With an encouraging pat on the back from Blonde, Faqu enters and the door padlocks shut behind him to a little trepidation from Landon. Blonde claims a touch of cramp when quizzed by James Cone about why he didn't get in like he was supposed to, then changes the subject quickly by shouting words of encouragement to Faqu. COLE Well, Faqu is in now and somehow I don't think it was in the gameplan of Cone and Cucaracha Internacional to have the big Samoan going in at number two. He's a dangerous man in any environment but will stamina play a factor? COACH That's what they want you to think Michael. They want you to get a false sense of security, then BAM, they sick the psycho Samoan on ya! They fooled everybody, brilliant! COLE Oh yeah, I could have sworn James Blonde was all ready to enter War Games until he saw Zack Malibu waiting to shut his big yap and bottled it. They sure got me, huh! COACH They sure did. Faqu and Zack stand off with Zack wise to keep half an eye out behind him. For now though it's just him and the big Samoan. And eventually the big Samoan comes to life, beating his chest with a primative roar before charging Zack... but he weaves behind Faqu's wild lunge and strikes hard and fast with open handed strikes, upstairs and downstairs, anywhere open on the bigman. Faqu is rocked but is also fresh, able to come back with a surprise knee to the gut. A clubbing forearm to the back drops Zack to one knee. As does a second. Zack shows some fight with a right hand to the midsection. But Faqu pulls him up to his feet a second later and clasps his hands around the throat with a blatant choke! COLE Zack got caught! Look at the crazed look in the eyes of Faqu as he attempts to squeeze the life out of his former friend! COACH Faqu might just choke Zack out for the next two minutes. That'd be cool. Backed up against the ropes, Zack's eyes are bulging from the force being put on his windpipe. Both Landon and Blonde encourage him to keep choking, Cone looking satisfied with things as well. That is until Zack realises these are desperate times... *CHING* "OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" ...and resorts to desperate measures with a KICK BELOW THE BELTLINE!! COLE Even a wild Samoan has a weakness downstairs! Faqu doubles over in pain and Zack takes a second to replenish his lungs, before grabbing hold of Faqu's braided hair... *CLANG!* "YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!" ...before launching him FACE-FIRST INTO THE CAGE WALL!! COLE Zack's gonna bring the steel into play! Faqu bounces off the mesh, right back towards Zack. A boot to the gut this time doubles Faqu up, Zack taking the Samoan for the ride right across the ring... *CLANG!* "YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" ...INTO ANOTHER SIDE OF THE CAGE!! COACH HE'S STILL UP THOUGH! Shaken by the collisions with the steel Faqu comes to a stop, eyes rolling. He soon gets his senses back though and starts beating his chest authoratively again! Not concerned, Zack delivers another boot and goes on another run with Faqu trailing by the hair... *CLANG!* ...INTO THE THIRD WALL HE GOES... ...and after some wobbling and some arm waving to try and keep his balance, DOWN HE GOES, to the despair of his team-mates on the floor!! "YYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" COLE Zack has felled the Samoan Wrecking Ball! COACH Yeah, with a lowblow and three trips into the cage, big deal! COLE It is a big deal, because Zack's got under two minutes until the odds are even and so far he's playing this 2 on 1 disadvantage about as well as he possibly could! Faqu climbs back to his feet, still wobbly on his feet which isn't helped by a Zack Malibu right hand to the temple. Zack nails him with another right. And another. Falling into the corner, Faqu is seeing stars right about now. Zack climbs the middle rope in front of him and balls up the fist once more... "ONE!" "TWO!" "THREE!" "FOUR!" "FIVE!" "SIX!" "SEVEN!" ...before he can get to eight, Zack spots Nathaniel Black trying to leave Ring One and jumps off the top rope, catching him on the ring aprons with a double axehandle! Down goes Black, getting rolled back into Ring One by Zack who promptly re-enters Ring Two to stay on Faqu. COLE I can't believe how well Zack is dealing with this two on one situation. He made a crucial move in isolating Black in Ring One before Faqu came in, but he hasn't forgotten about his other opponent entirely. COACH Well Zack obviously had a strategy and it's paying off, so far. After some shoulder thrusts to the midsection, Zack delivers a European uppercut on The Samoan Wrecking Ball leaving him winded in the corner. Zack backs away across the ring into the opposite corner, before charging back in with a corner clothesline. Turning Faqu so his chin rests on the top turnbuckle, Malibu then backs away again, whipping up the support of the Minneapolis crowd. From the opposite corner he charges again, taking off with both knees... ...Faqu moves, avoiding the Zack Attack 2... but Zack adjusts in mid-air, landing with his feet safely on the middle rope! Zack breathes a sigh of relief before taking off again, twisting in mid-air with a crossbody block... CAUGHT! To a groan from the crowd, The Franchise is caught with ease in the arms of Faqu! Zack kicks and struggles to try and fight free. To no avail, Faqu throwing him up onto his shoulders... only for Zack to slide free of a Samoan Drop attempt... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and rock Faqu with a knifedge chop! *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" And another one! Faqu struggles to fight back, but Zack's attention is caught by Nathaniel Black again. A knee prevents him from entering Ring Two, but the distraction proves costly as when Zack returns to open more fire Faqu is waiting with a sudden thrust to the throat! COACH Like I said, 'so far'. The reeling Malibu falls against the ring ropes, right where Black is laying. And The Englishman quickly adds to his woes by hanging his throat up across the top rope from the aprons! COLE And the numbers game looks to have finally caught up with Zack. But the good news is, we're under thirty seconds until the next member of Team Sommers can enter. Zack falls at Faqu's feet, feet which are soon stomping down on his chest. In comes Black to join in and things suddenly look bleak for The Franchise. Together Black and Faqu stomp away until the Englishman calls a halt. They then pick Zack off the canvas, lining him up... and delivering a Double Headbutt! "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" "ZACK!" COACH The crowd are behind him, but the odds are against him! COLE Not for long though. As Black and Faqu continue to double-team the downed Zack, the countdown continues to tick down. Faqu places his bare foot across Zack's throat, Black stomping away on the ribs at the same time, only stopping to berate the crowd. With some advice from the outside the double-teaming stops though, Blonde pointing out the clock to his 6-Man Tag Team Championship partners and warning there's a fresh man on the way. :10 :09 :08 Faqu stays on Zack, pulling him up on the ropes and delivering another hard Samoan headbutt. His partner watches on with a smile, unable to resist one last kick to the gut on The Franchise. :07 :06 :05 With time running down Black then starts to leave, running through instructions to Faqu... :04 :03 :02 :01 *BZZT!* ...as the door to Ring One opens and LEON RODEZ makes his way in! BUFFER Now entering War Games for Team Sommers... "SILKY SMOOTH" LLEEEEEOOOOONN RODEZ!!! "YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" Black is right there to meet Leon on the way in, looking to jump him straight away. But Leon is able to go to the gut to fight Black off, making it in through the ropes and unloading with quick jabs. The crowd are behind each shot as Leon backs Black up into the ropes, whipping him across Ring One and connecting with a standing dropkick! COLE Leon showing no fear on his re-introduction with the War Games, less than two years after that career threatening neck injury he suffered at the hands of one of his partners tonight, Todd Cortez. Grabbing hold of Black by the head, Leon points off to one side of the cage and asks the fans if they want it. The delay allows Black to stun him with a forearm to the gut though. Black raises a knee up into the face, following Leon as he falls against the ropes and attempting to grind his face into the steel mesh. Leon gets his hands in front of his face and blocks though, avoiding damage to his valuable face long enough to raise his knee and catch Black in the gut to fight him off. COACH I guess you've got to admire Leon for getting into this match, with the way things are right now. COLE What's that supposed to mean? COACH Well, the guy's onto a good thing. After tonight though, there might be NO Nerdlys who find him attractive anymore! COLE Oh, let's not start with that tonight Coach, please. Leon lies in wait for Black to approach him... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...scoring with a knifedge chop. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and another one. Black is getting mighty tired of those by now and goes to the gut with a knee, grabbing hold of Leon and attempting to run him into the cage. With a quick spin Leon is able to reverse and send Black off the ropes again though. On the rebound, the Brit is caught with an Inverted Atomic Drop, then knocked down with a clothesline. COACH Yay Leon! Do it Maggie! Or, is it Melody? COLE I said enough! With Black down, Leon leaves Ring One and heads to Ring Two to help out Zack. Faqu is busy putting the feet to Zack again in a corner and doesn't see Rodez coming, despite the warning from his partners. Diving onto Faqu's back Leon latches on trying to apply a sleeper hold. Faqu tries to fight him off and backs up, bouncing the back of Leon's head off of the cage. Not with enough force to fight him off though. Leon hangs on with the sleeper still, determined to put Faqu out. Backing up again, Faqu this time finds the corner... and Zack Malibu, who gets sandwiched behind both Faqu and Leon's combined bodyweight! Zack drops onto his BUTT in the corner, as Faqu backs up a third time to drive Leon's lower back into the top turnbuckle above him. Down goes Leon too and both he and Zack end up piled in the corner against the bottom turnbuckle. COLE Uh-oh. COACH Oh, this might not end well. Eyes lighting up, Faqu backs away from his two opponents as they sit in perfect position! Landon and Blonde encourage their Samoan Wrecking Ball to charge and he's ready to do just that, with a beat of the chest and a hop out of the corner... FAQU SAMOAAAAAAAAA... ...BUT LEON AND ZACK MOVE OUT OF THE WAY OF THE BUTT SMASH!!!! "YYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!" COLE Nobody home! Zack and Leon able to haul each other clear of danger and Faqu hits nothing but turnbuckles! Faqu staggers out of the corner... into a DOUBLE HIPTOSS!! COLE What power, combined or otherwise! Into Ring Two comes Nathaniel Black, but Zack sees him coming and dives to meet him. As he works away on the Englishman, Leon stays with Faqu and locks the sleeper hold on again to try and put him out. Faqu flails around looking for an escape, while Zack avoids a lariat attempt from Black and hooks HIM in a sleeper as well! COLE Dueling sleeper holds! The former World Tag Team Champions are on the same page right here! COACH Come on guys, hold on, just another minute! Faqu seems to be going down but Black doesn't stay in his sleeper for long as he's able to sandwich Zack into a corner to escape. The Englishman wisely clubs Leon in the back to break the other sleeper as well. But a charge in the corner proves ill-advised, Zack sidestepping before pulling Black out of the corner for a schoolboy, knowing full well that pinfalls don't matter as he transitions into a Half Crab on the right knee he worked on earlier! Black holds his head in pain, hoping for a returned favour from Faqu. Before he can get over to save however, Faqu is pulled back by Leon and caught with a jab! A jab! A jab! A jab! Rodez turns to blowing the kiss, but as he turns back Faqu suddenly rushes him looking for a clothesline. Ducking underneath, Leon watches Faqu back off the ropes and sidesteps... *CLANG!* "YYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" ...GUIDING HIM INTO THE STEEL CAGE AGAIN!! COLE Samoan or not, you can only take so many head on collisions with steel like that. Faqu falls to a knee and goes right back into the sleeper hold from Leon! Black has found the ropes in the half crab meanwhile, but ropebreaks don't mean a thing and he stays trapped in the hold. :10 :09 :08 COLE We're under ten seconds until Team Phoenix regain their man advantage. :07 :06 And it can't come a moment too soon for the team-members inside the cage. Zack finally gives up on the half crab but the damage has been done on Black. :05 :04 The damage is now being done to Faqu, as Zack lays in kicks while Leon hangs on with the sleeper. :03 :02 :01 COACH Here we go, who is it? *BZZT!* No false starts this time, as James Blonde belatedly enters the fray. COLE Well whaddya know! BUFFER Now entering War Games, representing Team Phoenix... World 6-Man Tag Team Champion, "THE TRENDSETTER" JAMES BLONDE!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" Blonde climbs in with all the eagerness he lacked earlier, possibly because Zack Malibu has his back turned on him. And sure enough, that eagerness disappears as Blonde gets caught in the act going for a double axehandle! BLONDE :O COLE Well, better late than never! Holding up his hands Blonde tries to beg off from Zack and make friends... uh, again. Zack seems willing to listen to what Blonde has to say, if only out of strange curiousity, before he eventually grabs a hold of Blonde's blond locks... *CLANG!* ...AND TOSSES HIM HEAD-FIRST INTO THE STEEL CAGE!!!! Blonde writhes around in pain before rolling to his knees, face in horror as he realises he's BUSTED WIDE OPEN!!! "YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" COACH OH NO! COLE It's just going from bad to worse for The Trendsetter! Blonde again tries to beg for mercy, but Zack is having none of it and grabs a side headlock before pounding away at the open wound with right hands! Landon is apaplectic on the floor as he watches his understudy get drilled with right hands, before Zack lets go and the blood starts flowing freely! Away rolls Blonde to the safety of the ring aprons, Zack forced to fight off Nathaniel Black limping towards him with kicks. Black shoves Zack away and throws a clothesline, but Zack ducks his head and backdrops Black out onto the two ring aprons with his partner, just as Faqu starts to climb to his feet with Leon on his back. COLE It's The Usual Suspects versus the World 6-Man Champions and so far it's Zack and Leon in the ascendency! A boot from Zack catches Faqu, allowing Leon to let go of the sleeper and land safely on his feet. Zack then delivers a right hand. Backed up with a jab from Leon. Right hand from Zack! A jab from Leon! Right hand! A jab! Right hand! A jab! Leon and Zack stop, Faqu rocking between them. They look at each other for a second, before both turning to blow a kiss to the crowd... *SMACK!* *SMACK!* ...AND CONNECTING WITH STEREO ENZIGURIS TO KNOCK FAQU DOWN!!! "YYYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE Usual Suspects Said Knock You Out! COACH Laaaame! Asking how he did, Zack gets a "B minus" for his efforts from Rodez. Figuring that's at least a pass Zack shrugs his shoulders and invites Leon to join him for a DOUBLE PESCADO, out onto the aprons to wipe out Blonde and Black respectively!! "US - UAL SUS - PECTS!" *clap clap clapclapclap!* "US - UAL SUS - PECTS!" *clap clap clapclapclap!* Leon works the crowd up, while Zack stays with the business at hand and walks Blonde over to the cage WHERE HE GRINDS HIS ALREADY BLOODY FACE AGAINST THE STEEL!! Howls of pain cry out from Blonde's mouth until Zack lets him go, letting him sadly slide to his knees. Behind all this, Leon starts to pick Black up, only to get a headbutt in the ribs for his trouble! As Leon doubles over, Black then smiles and pulls him into a standing headscissors! COLE Oh no... not this! COACH Yes, it's dejá vu all over again, just like Landon promised! To screams from the Minneapolis crowd Black elevates Rodez up for the piledriver on the aprons... ...but Zack nails him from behind with a double axehandle, to save Leon! COLE That was visions of last War Games for Leon right there. But thankfully Zack Malibu was there to save his partner's neck... literally. COACH Yeah, pity he wasn't there a year and a half ago as well, eh? Zack and Black take their fight into Ring One, trading shots as Leon composes himself again on the aprons. Disaster averted, he turns his attentions to James Blonde. The Trendsetter has pulled himself back up to his feet but rests against the cage wall between the two rings. Running down the aprons, Leon gives him a closer contact with that cage wall as he strikes him with DOUBLE KNEES AGAINST THE STEEL!!! "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!" COLE Boy, James Blonde can't catch a break so far! He would have been better chickening out again and staying on the floor. Hey, there's an idea! COACH Shut up. In Ring One, Black catches Zack with a surprise takedown and applies an STF! Unaware of this, Leon goes back into Ring Two... *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" ...and nails Faqu with a knifedge chop as he gets to his feet. *SLAP!* "WHOOOOOOOO!" And another one. Faqu stays up, so Leon takes off into the ropes and attacks the knee with a chopblock! COLE Great idea from Leon. COACH Yeah, but I'm pretty sure if anyone's quitting tonight, it won't be Faqu. Quit isn't in his vocabulary. COLE What IS in his vocabulary? COACH A ton of stuff! Just because he's not speaking English, you make out like he's a moron? COLE Only thing I can remember him saying as 'BLAAAAHHHH' so far. COACH You racist. Cue awkward silence... :10 ...and the countdown! :09 :08 :07 :06 Black still hangs onto the STF despite Zack's attempts to break his grip, pulling back on the head to take the fight out of Zack. Across in the other ring, Leon rains down right hands on Faqu who stays rooted on one knee. And James Blonde just slumps against the cage, bleeding. :05 :04 :03 COLE The 6-Man Champions not faring too well so far and now worse news, the odds are about to be evened up again! :02 :01 *BZZT!* The door to Ring One opens and to the surprise of many, it's team captain SLY SOMMERS who bursts in past referee Chioda. BUFFER Now entering War Games, representing Team Sommers... the Team Captain, SSSLLLLLYYYYY SSOOMMEEERRRRRSSSSS!!! "YYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" Quick as a flash Sly goes for Nathaniel Black, landing a boot to the head that breaks the STF on Zack. Sly continues to stomp away and forces Black to roll away into a corner to try and get away. COLE How about this? Sly Sommers saving Zack Malibu! COACH And Sly Sommers, in at third spot for his team. Didn't see that coming. COLE Well Sly's got a lot of speedy attacks and above all he's a competitor, you can never take that away from him. Sly wants competition. COACH Well he's gonna get it tonight that's for sure. Pulling himself up in the corner, Black is kicked away at by the relentless Sommers, who then changes up right hands. Sly then sends Black for the ride, corner to corner. Hitting the turnbuckles hard, Black is then caught with a clothesline to sandwich him back into the buckles. Sly then brushes him aside, vaulting over the top rope and knocking Blonde back into the cage with a clothesline on the aprons! COACH What the hell is everybody's problem with JB!? Uncool! Sly goes back after Black, finding Zack about to do the same. Together, with just a little hint of tension, Sly and Zack grab an arm a-piece and send Black off the ropes with a double irish whip. Linking arms, they miss a double clothesline though. Sly breaks off first... and gets LEVELLED with a brutal standing Lariat, turning him INSIDE OUT! "OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" On his toes, Black evades Zack and nails him with a Lariat for his troubles as well! COLE Two devestating clotheslines and that might just turn the tide a little. Or at least stem the flow, because Team Phoenix wasn't looking too healthy up until that point. The man himself, James Cone, seems to have become more vocal now with Sly in the match and encourages Black to stay on the opposition captain. Black instead changes rings though, going over to Ring Two to jump Leon Rodez from behind. COACH And now Leon's in big trouble. Black works over Leon with forearms while Faqu gets a chance to recover. Irish whip sends Leon off the ropes, Black going downstairs to the midsection with a well placed headbutt. He then gets the heck out of the way, as Faqu motors forward with a well placed clothesline to take Leon off his feet! Off the ropes, Faqu then follows up with a MAMMOTH Legdrop, engulfing Leon's head!! "OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" Getting back to his feet Faqu beats his chest before being directed to Ring One by Black. The Englishman is happy to take over on the downed Rodez, letting Faqu go after Zack and Sly. COLE Faqu is on the warpath and that is bad news for Team Sommers. But I still wonder how much stamina he's going to have by the end of this match. COACH Don't you worry about that. Worry about what's going to be left of the bodies surrounding him by then. COLE Well, both teams now with two men left to enter. COACH Unless you count Todd Cortez, [i]Cucaracha Internacional member[/i], that is. COLE I don't know if I buy into all that. I'm sure Landon would like the seeds of doubt to be sewn amongst his partners, but I doubt very much that Cortez is going to be helping Landon out any time soon. COACH He'd better start doing that soon. He's long enough overdue. Entering Ring One, Faqu measures Zack on his way up with a right hand. Down goes The Franchise, only to fight right back up. Faqu grabs a hold of him and delivers a knee to the gut. The big Samoan then grabs a hold of Sly as well, before cracking their heads with a simultaneous headbutt! COLE Two in one! Faqu grabs a hold of Zack again and scoops him up over his shoulder. With a cry in his native tongue, Faqu then charges across the ring... *CLANG!* ...DRIVING ZACK'S HEAD INTO THE CAGE LIKE A BATTERING RAM!! "OOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" COLE Faqu has got a second wind all of a sudden and he's dishing out some serious punishment now! Still rambling away in Samoan Faqu 'exchanges' some words with Bohemoth from the other side of the cage wall, Bo not saying much but staring the bigman down. Faqu shakes the cage in an attempt to scare him, to no avail. Faqu then turns back and sees Sly Sommers coming to his feet, spinning him around and delivering a thrust shot to the body. Sly tries to go low with a double leg in response, but Faqu delivers a Mongolian Chop across the exposed upper back leaving him arched over in pain. Over in Ring Two meanwhile, Black has Leon up against the cage wall and is GRINDING HIS FACE against the mesh! Right in Leon's face, Landon cheers Black on as the flesh begins to tear and Leon begins to bleed! COLE Leon, busted open... and it looks from our vantage point like Zack has been lacerated as well from that battering ram into the cage. COACH The casualties are starting to mount up like we knew they would. As Zack rests against the ropes, Faqu sends Sly across the ring with an irish whip. He ducks his head, but Sly is able to put on the brakes, firing off a kick to the shoulder blade. Sommers then hits a standing dropkick, rocking the bigman. Another dropkick has the same result. Hitting the ropes, Sly builds up some speed looking for a shot to take Faqu off his feet. The bigman swings with a clothesline but Sly goes underneath, coming back with a flying forearm to the back of the head! Faqu falls to a knee and Sly celebrates briefly, before knocking James Blonde down with a right hand as he staggers down the aprons. COLE The best thing that could happen to Blonde right now is falling between those aprons and under the rings. Back up, Zack teams up with Sly again, this time with more success as they knock Faqu over with a Double Dropkick! Zack mounts Faqu with punches, Sly leaving him be and changing rings to save Leon from the onslaught from Nathaniel Black. COACH Under fifteen before Team Phoenix get another guy in. COLE But is it going to be the team captain who comes in, or will it be Landon Maddix? Sly creeps up on Black... and GRINDS HIS FACE INTO THE CAGE AS HE DOES THE SAME AGAIN TO LEON! "YYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!" :10 :09 :08 :07 :06 As the ten second countdown appears Black is able to get away from Sly, covering up as Sly advances. Black manages to grab a hold of Sly in an amateur clinch and they back away into a corner tussling around for position. :05 :04 :03 COLE Looks like it might be Landon. :02 And Cole is right, boos ringing out at the sight of La Cucaracha halfway up the ring steps waiting impatiently for the door to be opened. :01 *BZZT!* Landon quickly breezes in and immediately goes on the attack on Leon, the weakest of the opposition available to him. BUFFER Now entering War Games representing Team Phoenix... LANDON "LA CUCARACHA" MMMAAAAAADDIIIIXXXX!!!! "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!" COLE All four members of Cucaracha Internacional in and 4 on 3 is the advantage, good news for James Cone as he watches his team do battle for him. COACH And don't forget their fifth across the ring waiting to come in, Todd Cortez. COLE Oh stop. Landon stomps away at Leon energetically, placing his head back through the ropes and picking up where Black left off with some cheese grater action against the cage! Breaking away, he runs over and stuns Sly with a shot to the ribs from behind, breaking his lock-up with Black. Before Sly knows what's hit him, he's then spun around and driven face-first with the Complete Shot! Landon jumps to his feet and poses, then slaps Black on the chest and gives him the thumbs up. COLE And this is exactly the position Landon wants to be in, where he can pick his spots like the opportunist he is. Jogging over to Ring One, Landon lives up to that description as he sneaks up on Zack and boots him in the head to force him off of Faqu. "LAN - DON SUCKS!" "LAN - DON SUCKS!" "LAN - DON SUCKS!" "LAN - DON SUCKS!" The chants go unheard by La Cucaracha as he applies a blatant choke on Zack, squeezing the air from his throat. Landon then jumps up and dishes out some more stomps.

Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted July 1, 2008 WAR GAMES CONT'D! The chants go unheard by La Cucaracha as he applies a blatant choke on Zack, squeezing the air from his throat. Landon then jumps up and dishes out some more stomps. Backing away, Landon calls Faqu on, and the big man comes over and crushes Zack with a big splash, knocking the wind out of him. Scanning the ring, Landon starts to play General, calling on his troops to wear down the three fan favorites as best they can. COLE Landon's barking out orders, and like good soliders Cucaracha Internacional is dismantling Team Sommers! Ordering Faqu to go after Zack again, Landon has his Samoan henchman pull the prep up to his feet and send him to the corner, then follow up with a charge that culminates in a corner splash! Nathaniel Black has Sly Sommers draped over the middle rope, sitting on his back and forcing his throat down on the ropes, choking him out! Lastly, Leon Rodez is being worked over by James Blonde, who lifts him up for a back suplex that gets added impact when Landon simultaneously drops Rodez with a neckbreaker! COACH The well-oiled machine is doing their thing! Viva La Cucaracha! James Cone watches on with that smug smile visible on his face, looking quite pleased that Landon and company are handling the job quite well. Seeing Black choking Sly out, Cone goes over and peers through the cage wall, staring through the fence and his foe, who looks up at him with glassy eyes. Cone then slams his hand against the fence and backs away, silently celebrating that his rival is being decimated before his very eyes. COLE Cone and his crew are getting a little too confident. They might have the edge now, but we still have Bohemoth and Todd Cortez rounding out Sly's squad. COACH Please, Mikey Cole. You're talking about four men who are used to working well together, combined with a mastermind in James Cone. On the other side, you've got guys who have been enemies just as long, if not longer than they've been friends! COLE Well, it is true that Zack and Sly haven't always seen eye to eye... COACH ...yeah, and Zack and Bo JUST GOT DONE FEUDING WITH EACH OTHER, nevermind that Todd Cortez came to the OAOAST originally to maim Zack Malibu, AND he was the guy who broke Leon Rodez's neck IN A WAR GAMES! Coach's tirade has validity to it, but before he gets more heated he's cut off by the timeclock, as the seconds tick down towards some aid entering for Sly's slapdash crew. :10 :09 :08 :07 :06 COLE Either Bohemoth or Todd Cortez will be the next to enter, and quite frankly, I wouldn't want to deal with either of them at this point! Bo and Todd converse, and Bo starts cracking his neck. As the buzzer sounds and the door is opened by the referee, the crowd spring to their feet as the Metrosexual Monster becomes the next man to enter the cage! BUFFER Now entering the War Games...BOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-HEEEEEEEEEEEE-MOTH! COLE It's Bo! Bo is in! All together, Landon and company stop what they're doing and charge, looking to cut the big man off before he can mount an offense. Black is the first to charge, but he's caught and drilled with a standing spinebuster! James Blonde comes next, but he's taken by the head and hurled into the cage, leaving him sprawled on the canvas after he bounces off the mesh! Landon backs up and moves into the other ring, leaving Faqu and Bo to stare each other down. The bloody, sweaty Samoan sneers, figuratively blowly smoke out of his nose as he and Bo go eye to eye! Faqu rocks him with a punch, but Bo sucks it up and fires off one of his own! Faqu absorbs that and fires off again, but Bo takes the hit and then fires off another one of his own! Faqu then hits a throat thrust and goes for a headbutt, but Bo knocks his hand away, then fires off right hands that stagger Faqu to the ropes! Bohemoth sends him across the ring, and when Faqu comes back towards him, Bo scoops him up and slams him halfway to hell with a vicious spinebuster that whips the crowd into a frenzy! COLE Bohemoth is cleaning house! With three of the four down, Bo scours the ring, finally finding Landon Maddix standing in the center of the other ring, away from the carnage! Bo smiles, finally having Landon all to himself, which frightens the former World Champion! Landon begs off, then goes and starts climbing the cage wall, trying to get away from Bo...but a recovered Sly Sommers reaches up and grabs Landon by the ankle, pulling him back down! Sly nails a right hand that spins Landon around, right into a right hand by Leon Rodez, who pinballs Landon over to Zack, who hits a third right before sending Landon over to Bo, who stuffs him into a standing headscissors! Setting Landon up for a powerbomb, Bo goes to lift, but gets cut off by a shot to the back from Faqu, who has recovered from the spinebuster! Blonde and Black are up as well, and now it's an even four on four war here in the War Games! COACH Four on four. Sly, Zack, Bo and Leon better enjoy it while they can! Everyone breaks off into pairs; Faqu with Bohemoth, Blonde with Leon, Landon with Sly, and the two men who started us off tonight, Black and Zack. Bo gets hurled back into ring number 2 by Faqu, while Landon tries to ram Sly's head into the cage, only for Sly to counter and send CI's fearless leader into the steel instead! Leon avoids a shoulderblock in the corner by leapfrogging over Blonde, and then takes him to send him across the corner, where Zack has Black ready to go. Zack sends Black out, but Black reverses it...so Malibu adapts quickly by using the momentum to hit a leaping lariat at the oncoming Blonde! Zack turns and Black charges, so Zack elevates him over with a back bodydrop that gets followed up with a seated splash from the middle rope by Leon, as The Usual Suspects work more double-team magic on the hated Englishman! The fans celebrate wildly as the face team starts to regain their hold on things, but that's when the timer starts counting down again, which will bring in the last man (and namesake) for Team Cone. :10 :09 :08 :07 :06 :05 COLE The seconds tick away, and we're about to see the Team Captain, James Cone, make his way into the War Games. :04 :03 :02 :01 BUFFER Now entering the War Games, and rounding out the lineup for Team Cone...the Team Captain, JAAAAAAAAAAAAMES COOOOOOOOOOOOOOONE! The buzzer sounds, and Cone steps into the ring, brushing past the brawling Bo and Faqu. Sommers sees Cone enter and moves through the ropes towards the other ring, but Cone catches him upon entry and starts beating on the already weakened Sly. Backing him into the ropes, Cone shoots him across, but falls short on a dropkick attempt, then gets taken down with a swinging neckbreaker from Sommers! Sly is all over Cone, who is reeling from the blow, but ultimately able to push him off. Cone backs himself into the corner, and Sly charges, but eats a boot from Cone, who then takes Sly and shoves him into the corner, ramming his shoulder into the post! As Sly comes out of the corner, Cone pounds on the shoulder, then applies a hammerlock and shoves Sly back into the turnbuckles, looking to injure Sly enough to where he'll be the one to quit for his team! COLE It's going to be a long minute before Todd Cortez gets in the ring. Sly's team is fighting hard, but they're all battle worn! COACH Cortez is lucky he's the last guy, not because he'll be able to turn the tide, but because by the time he gets in the ring, it's gonna be mere seconds before it's over. Sly, Zack...none of these guys can take much more! Over in the other ring, James Blonde sneaks up behind Zack and locks in a sleeper, but Zack manages to turn to the side and elbow his way free, then apply one of his own before dropping The Trendsetter with...a Trendsetter! Malibu's patented sleeperhold drop draws a loud pop from the crowd, but as he comes up he eats a roaring lariat from Nathaniel Black, who follows up by stomping him down! Meanwhile, over in the corner, Leon works Landon over with knife edge chops, and as he leads him out of the corner, Landon drops down and goes low, then plants Leon's head into the ring with a DDT! COLE Landon Maddix again targeting the neck of Leon Rodez, spiking him with that move. COACH History tends to repeat itself, Michael, and I think Landon Maddix would like nothing more than for it to happen tonight! On the floor, Cortez paces, watching the destruction helplessly as it's not his time yet. Landon takes note of his reluctant occasional ally and badmouths him, telling him that he made his choice. Cortez can only fume as Landon badmouths him, then watch as Faqu drops Bo with a Samoan drop, only to have Landon follow up by spiking his knee into the Metrosexual Monster's head! Cone, who has Sly on his knees and trapped in an armbar, leads his rival to his feet and sends him towards Faqu, who scoops him up as well and floors him with a Samoan Drop! COLE That savage just laid out two guys, and over in the other ring, neither Zack nor Leon are in a good way either! Malibu's face is pressed against the mesh, the little links of chain stabbing into his skin as Black pushes his boot into the back of Zack's head, pushing it against the wall of the cage! Leon starts to recover from his DDT, but a rabbit lariat from Blonde puts him back down, only to be dragged up and trapped in a Cobra Clutch, causing him to flail his arms and try to break free before he's snapped to the canvas! COACH Illegally Blonde, baby! Leon Rodez has got to be wishing he didn't come out and help Zack this past Thursday night! The crowd grows hostile as Team Cone shows their dominance. Cone remains unbloodied, causing him to stand out from the rest of his team. Seeing Sly starting to stir, he rushes over and delivers a hard soccer kick that knocks him back down, and it's at that point that the seconds on the clock start to tick away for the last time, causing an incredibly anxious Todd Cortez to jog in place as he prepares to channel his pent up rage. COLE TEN SECONDS! COACH About thirty seconds away from a loss! :10 :09 :08 :07 :06 :05 :04 :03 :02 :01 BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT~! YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH~! BUFFER Now entering the War Games, the last participant...THE URBAN LEGEND, TODDDDDDDD CORRRRRRRRRRRTEZZZZZZZZZZZZ! As soon as the door opens, Cortez is through it, nailing a charging Cone with a right hand that floors him! Landon, ever the coward, orders Faqu over, but a series of kicks to the leg hobble the big man, only for Todd's leg to get caught...but he follows up with an enzugiri that staggers Faqu, then takes him off his feet with a sweep kick! Landon backs into the corner, but Cortez is RIGHT THERE, stalking a man that Cortez has carried hatred for in both the SWF and the OAOAST. Cortez takes Landon by the neck and biels him out of the corner, causing Landon to cry out in pain! COLE Still think that looks like a man on the verge of victory, Coach? Cortez tears off his wifebeater and wraps it around Landon's neck, bringing the fans to their feet! Landon's eyes bug out as he tries to take the shirt off of his throat, but it's of no use, as Cortez has a death grip on it! Luckily for Landon, Faqu gets up and strikes Cortez from behind, then traps him in a full nelson, holding him for his boss! Maddix gets up and throws the shirt aside, charging Cortez, who kicks up and drives both feet into his chest! Landon falls back, while Todd kicks a leg back and strikes Faqu low, once again using the "soft spot" to catch the big man off guard! Todd then whips Faqu to the ropes, then hits the side ropes, connecting with a HOLLOW POINT on the big man and dropping him down! COLE He just took Faqu down with a Hollow Point! The savage Samoan HAS to be feeling some semblance of pain now, as he rolls under the ropes, between the cage and the ring. Cortez gets up from his valiant attempt of clearing the ring of his foes, but eats a quick thrust superkick from Cone that knocks him out! Back in the other ring, Black sends Zack to the ropes, but rather than rebound, Zack hangs on...and when Black charges, Zack catches him with a hotshot! Falling to the mat, Black tries to pick himself up, but as he rests on all fours Zack hits the ropes, using Black's back as a springboard to launch himself into the opposite ring, taking Cone out with a flying bodypress! COLE FROM RING TO RING, AIR MALIBU FLIES HIGH~! After wiping out his former friend, Malibu gets on his shoulders and starts throwing elbows from the mount! Cone, the second most healthy man in the match behind Cortez, rather easily throws the weaker Malibu off of him and gets up, although Zack is right there to try SCHOOL'S OUT...ONLY FOR IT TO GET CAUGHT~! Cone holds Zack's foot at bay, causing him to have to remain balanced on one leg...and that causes him to not see Sly Sommers burst upwards with a SCHOOL'S OUT OF HIS OWN, paying tribute to his friend and mentor~! COACH Are you KIDDING me!? COLE A School's Out by Sly Sommers just shattered James Cone's jaw! Sly and Zack nod to each other in tribute, then turn to see Faqu coming to his feet, growling. The bloody beast is a picture of menace as he comes up slowly, with a devilish look in his eyes...and that's when Bohemoth, fresh to his feet, charges forward, spearing Faqu against the door AND SENDING THE BOTH OF THEM THROUGH IT AND TO THE FLOOR~! COACH YO~! COLE BOHEMOTH AND FAQU JUST WENT THROUGH THE CAGE! The cage door swings back violently, fortunately not flying off its hinges and into the crowd, as Faqu and Bohemoth lay motionless on the floor! Immediately, the referees call for help, and other refs and trainers run out to evaluate the damage done to the two superstars. Zack and Sly don't believe it, but then a well placed knee to the back sends Sly through the ropes and nearly out to the floor, as Landon Maddix has recovered! Zack turns around, but catches a thumb to the eye, giving Landon time to reach into his boot and pull a certain something out... ...A METAL SPIKE~! COLE Oh c'mon, you've got to be kidding me! COACH You seem surprised, Mikey Cole! Did you actually think that a veteran of War Games, a former Wildcard at that, wouldn't come prepared!? Malibu's vision is blurred, but as Landon cocks his arm back, it's grabbed by Leon, who reaches in from between the two rings to stop him from stabbing Zack! COLE Leon Rodez to save the day! He just saved Zack from being spiked! COACH Yeah, and the last time he saved Zack it worked out so well for him, all those months in a neck brace! Leon won't let go, but he's then jumped from behind by Black, who drags him off of Landon and back into the ring! Black hooks Landon and suplexes him over, but Landon escapes and falls back, then catches a charging Blonde with a boot and delivers a combination DDT/neckbreaker two Landon's two allies, taking them both out! Landon swings at Zack with the spike, but Zack catches the arm and brings him to the canvas with an armbar, trying to get the spike out of his grip! Zack and Landon struggle, but a running kick from Cone knocks Zack off of Landon! The spike rolls out of Landon's hand and stops at Cone's feet, so he reaches down and picks it up...but as he bends over to get it a recovered Cortez makes his presence felt, stuffing Cone between his legs and then leaping over his back, spiking the captain of the opposing team with a RIOT ACT PLUS~! COLE I think it's safe to say that James Cone will not be the one submitting for his team, because he is KNOCKED OUT~! COACH Really, is he? I was unaware. The crowd roars as Cortez rolls away from his foe, who slumps to the canvas after having had his head spiked. Meanwhile, Landon and Zack come up to their feet trading blows, only for Landon to nail another thumb to the eye! Zack backs off again, but as Landon comes forward Zack goes for a SCHOOL'S OUT...but it's caught! Landon quickly hoists Zack up on his shoulders, and attempts to make Zack GO TO SLEEP...but as he throws Zack down into his knee Zack catches his leg, uses a dragon screw, and segues into a figure four leglock on Landon Maddix that brings the crowd to a fever pitch! COLE AMAZING~! What a counter to the Go To Sleep, and now Landon Maddix is in trouble! Landon squirms, trying to free himself...but as he's trapped in the leglock, Sommers comes off the top with the SUPERSLY SPLASH, crushing the braggadocio superstar under his weight! Sly rolls off, his tender ribs a little sore after that, while Landon limply tries to free himself. Cortez gets up and stands over Landon, looking down at him, and then notices something nearby, laying on the mat. COACH What's he...oh no. Oooooh no. Cortez goes and picks up the spike, the same weapon that Landon had brought into the match, and stands over Landon as he's trapped in the figure four. Helpless, Landon begs for mercy, while Cortez looks out to the crowd, wondering if he should give it to him. Egged on by the fans, Cortez drops to his knees and starts jabbing the spike into Landon's forehead, creating a gush of blood that covers his face! COLE Todd Cortez is exerting years of anger and frustration right here, right now! Landon screams in pain, slamming his hands on the canvas, and finally yells in surrender, shouting "STOP! STOP! I QUIT!" as loud as he can muster! Distracted by his own ferocity, Cortez doesn't hear the bell or the elated fans responding to it, and has to be pried off of Landon by the referee, who warns him that the contest has ended! COLE They did it! Five men, never a cohesive unit before, just defeated Landon Maddix's personal dynasty, enlisted by James Cone! COACH All it took was a metal spike. COLE A metal spike that Landon Maddix brought into the ring! He sought revenge for the loss nearly two years ago, but in a twist of fate, poetic justice reigned supreme here tonight! Broken and bloodied, the four men still in the ring huddle up and embrace, as Michael Buffer makes the official announcement. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen your winners of the War Games...the team of SLY SOMMERS, ZACK MALIBU, TODD CORTEZ, BOHEMOTH and LEEEEEEEEEON ROOOOOOOOOOOODEZZZ! With the match over, the winning team hop down to the floor, going over to check on Bo, who is being tended to by the trainers. Hobbled by his actions earlier, Bo breaks away from the support of the OAOAST staff and hugs his teammates, happy to have done his part as they became victorious. COLE An emotional scene here tonight as these five men united, and put their pasts behind them for the greater good. James Cone is just now coming to after that Riot Act Plus. Nathaniel Black and James Blonde probably don't know their own names. Faqu can't even SAY his own name, and Landon Maddix is in a very bad way, all by his own doing! COACH An ingrate. That's what that Cortez is, an ingrate! You think that this was really the end, Michael Cole? C'mon! COLE I don't think it's the end of anything at all, Coach. In fact, I think War Games, if anything, kicked off a war rather than ended one! You can be we'll be hearing from both sides this week on HeldDOWN~! Sly, Malibu, Bo, Cortez and Leon all head up the ramp. Groggy and in need of a warm shower and a good night's rest, the popular quintet head to the back, turning one last time and raising each other's arms in victory, as fireworks go off in the arena, showering them with red, white and blue sparks! COLE The colors of America, the colors of the OAOAST, showering the arena here tonight as Sly Sommers rallied his friends together tonight, and had it pay off. Those five men are getting a checkmark in the win column tonight, and as for us...we're out of here! Thank you so much for joining us, ladies and gentlemen. I'm Michael Cole, for The Coach, and we'll see you later this week on HeldDOWN~! FADE OUT. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
