HD: Megan/Holly vs. Jade/Melody

[King Cucaracha 0]

As we return to the arena/opera house/whatever, the unusual sight of Megan Skye walking to the ring alone greets us. Not leading anyone tonight, she walks with her head held high over the abuse of the crowd, climbing up the ring steps and into the ring with a calm focus on the task at hand.

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen the following women's division tag team contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Providence, Rhode Island... the brains behind Cucaracha Internacional... MMMEEEEEGGAAAAAAAANN... SSSSSSSSSSKKYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEE!!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

COACH
Megan's gotta be looking forward to this. A little chance at some revenge on the Duncan family, extended hide them at the back of the room at family reunions kinda family though it may be.

COLE
I'm sure Megan's just glad to be away from Landon for a few minutes, the mood he's in.

As Megan stretches out in the ring, "Another Body Murdered" blares through the arena and Holly Mann marches out with a scowl on her face. Wearing a black cropped hoodie with skull and crossbones scattered all over, Holly angrily pulls her hand out of reach as foolish fans look for hand-tags.

BUFFER
And her partner. From Las Vegas, Nevada... the lead guitarist of the greatest rock n' wrestling band in all of professional wrestling, The Heavenly Rockers... she is "THE ANGEL OF DEATH"... HHHOOOOOOLLLLLLYYYYYYYY... MMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNN!!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Holly stomps into the ring, barely acknowledging her tag team partner as she heads to the ropes to direct some abuse at the fans.

COLE
Holly in anti-social form as usual.

Off comes the hoodie, chucked at a lowly stagehand. Holly and Megan keep their own distances, as the modern day cover version of "Beat It" by Fallout Boy brings out modern technology's #1 pin-up girl, Melody Nerdly. Melody rocks out in the entrance way and dives into the arms of the fans lining the aisle who soon get over being burned by Holly.

BUFFER
And the opponents, first, from The Fortress Of Nerdlytude! She is the 2007 OAOAST Manager Of The Year...  MMMMEEEEELLLLLLOOOOOOOOODDYYYYYYY... NNEEEEERRRRRRDDLLLLLLYYYYYYY!!!

"YYYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
The Fortress Of Nerdlytude of course, better known as a 19 bedroom property in Edmonton.

COACH
You know what's ironic, Melody spent most of high school in her own fortress of solitude. Her bedroom. Because she was a geek. Didn't get out much.

COLE
Yeah yeah we get it.



"Boys call you sexy (What's up, sexy) 
And you don’t care what they say 
See, every time you turn around 
They screamin' your name

Boys call you sexy (What's up, sexy) 
And you don’t care what they say 
See, every time you turn around 
They screamin' your name"

The lights flash purple and often as "When I Grow Up" by The Pussycat Dolls hits, to a BIG reaction. And the reaction gets even bigger as with pure exuberance, Jade Rodez-Duncan bounds out onto the stage pumping his fists in the air! Jade unstraps the Women's Championship belt from around her waist and raises it over her head, dedicating it to the fans with points out across the arena before she skips to the ring. No though of any dance moves though in all the excitement, which surely won't go down well with certain members of the immediate family.

BUFFER
And finally, she now resides in Los Angeles, California! The second generation starlet with a heart of gold... ladies and gentlemen, she is the BRAND NEW OAOAST WOMEN'S CHAMPION... "LITTLE MISS CALIFORNIA"... JJJJAAAAAAADDEEEEEE... RRRRROOOOODDEEEEEEZZZZZZ - DDUUUUUUUUUNNCCAAAAAAAAAANN!!!!!

"YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Slapping hands Jade looks a little overwhelmed by the reaction and walks on air all the way up the ring steps. She enters demurely through the middle and bottom ropes before climbing the turnbuckles, again raising the belt with what looks like a combination of about a dozen emotions. Joy, shock, gratitude, a little embarrasment at the fuss she's causing.

"When I grow up 
I wanna be famous 
I wanna be a star 
I wanna be in movies 

When I grow up 
I wanna see the world 
Drive nice cars 
I wanna have Groupies"

As the festivities begin to die down Jade and Melody share a bestest-best pals hug. Jade still seems a little caught up in the reaction from the Pheonix crowd and as they continue to cheer for her, she beams from ear to ear.

COLE
Isn't it just great to see that beautiful smile on that young lady's face after all she's been through in recent months?

COACH
Oh give it up man, you don't stand a chance with her.

Not sharing in the excitement though are Megan or Holly. Megan leaves the ring unimpressed. But Holly takes it a step further and yells at the crowd, then points a threatening finger Jade's way as she stands on the ring apron. It won't be her starting though, as Melody has already elected to start and Jade is too kind to argue that she might want to start now.


*DINGDINGDING*

As the two starters circle Melody shadow-boxes a little, which doesn't intimidate Holly one bit.

COLE
Absolutely no love lost between these two ladies. Actually about a year ago since Holly suckered Melody into believing they were best pals, only to lead her into a cruel Heavenly Rocker attack.

Still waters still run deep it seems, as Melody proves her shadow-boxing wasn't just a threat and pops Holly in the mouth with a jab as she approaches! Holly looks shocked, but before she can complain Melody rushes her, into a neutral corner where she throws wild shots at her old enemy. Holly covers up under the wild attack, getting hit at least a dozen times before Melody relents. Fired up, Melody whips Holly across the ring. She then charges, but runs right into a raised knee in the corner! Quickly Holly grabs Melody by top and tails and throws her to the floor with contempt. Holly then turns her attentions to the Women's Champ again. Jade isn't drawn in by the arguement, but Holly does enough to keep the referee distracted while Megan targets Melody on the outside and rams her back into the steel ringpost!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

COLE
And there's a cheapshot. I guess now we know where Landon Maddix gets it from. Or vice versa.

As Megan retreats, Holly reaches through the turnbuckles for Melody's hair, pulling her back up to the apron. Holly takes Melody's head and rams it against the turnbuckle on the outside. Hooking her up, she then brings Melody back inside with a vertical suplex and floats over...

2...



No!

Pulling Melody back up, again with a hefty handful of hair, Holly badmouths her before throwing her back to the canvas face-first. Despite the protests of referee Mike Chioda, she repeats the move again. Holly soon grows bored though and gives Megan a tag. As Melody tries to take advantage of the switch by getting to her corner, Megan pulls her back, turning her over to drop an elbow before covering...

2...



No!

Megan waits for Melody to get going again, catching her in the ribs with a kick as she reaches one knee.

COLE
We don't see Megan in the ring too often, but we do know she can kick.

COACH
Well usually Megan's had other commitments, managerial commitments. But let's face it, with a lame-duck Champion, what better time to put yourself back in the women's division?

After another kick to the body Megan hooks up Melody, delivering a vertical suplex.

COLE
Nice move by Megan and from what we're seeing, it's a little bit of a surprise we haven't seen more of her. Good to see the women's division coming back into prominence with the likes of Megan and Melody throwing their hats and themselves into the ring recently.

COACH
And yet when Malaysia was Champ, nobody wanted to know. Jade wins the belt, they're all at it. Coincidence? You tell me.

COLE
I'm actually trying my best to ignore you.

Megan comes off the ropes looking for a big knee, but finds nobody home! Melody is able to roll out of the way and gets the tag to bring the new Women's Champion in, to a big cheer from the crowd. Around hobbles Megan, as Jade comes in and instantly dives at her with a Thesz Press! Jade mounts Megan and rams the back of her head into the mat a couple of times before leaping to her feet, encouraging her opponent back up.

COLE
She doesn't like too lame of a duck right now Coach!

COACH
Give it time.

Off the ropes, Jade knocks Megan down with a clothesline. And a second. And a third, feeding off the energy of the crowd as they get behind her. They suddenly have to alert her of danger as Holly tries a cheapshot, Jade able to spot her coming, duck a clothesline and deliver a dropkick to send her crashing out of the ring! Jade then rushes Megan, shooting her off the ropes and delivering a dropkick to her as well!

"YYYEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

COLE
Jade is cooking here! Defeating Malaysia could well be the making if this young woman, she's never lacked heart but she's been lacking in self-confidence for so long, maybe things have now changed.

As Megan gets back up, Jade paws her with an open left hand. Then paws her with an open right. With a guttural shout, Jade then pulls a 360 and knocks Megan down with a big clothesline! As she hits this, we hear a slight thud on the announce table, as a newspaper lands on it.

COLE
The hell?

Michael picks up the paper and reads the front page headline aloud.

COLE
Exclusive: Rich Little Blonde Girl Kicks Ass! Courtesy of the... LA Swag?

Michael turns around, to see ALIX MARIA SPEZIA behind him, dressed in a sexed-up paper-carrier uniform.

ALIX
EXTRA, EXTRA! SPREAD THE NEWS! **GETTING HOT IN HERE LYRICS**

COLE
This place just gets weirder by the second.

Back in the ring the tag is made between Jade and Melody. Jade holds Megan in place while Melody navigates her way up the turnbuckles, coming off the top with a DEVESTATING~! tomahawk chop to the top of the head. Melody then delivers another tomahawk to the head from a standing position, reminiscent of Austin Powers' judo chop. Megan shrugs off the minor nuisance and delivers a knee to the gut to double Melody up, setting her for a whip. Melody is able to reverse coming off the ropes however, wrapping her legs around Megan's body and executing a wheelbarrow bulldog!

COLE
That's the Revenge Of The Nerdly.

COACH
Did you get that from this newspaper presumably printed up at some carnival too?

COLE
No, stupid. I got it straight from the source, Melody's MySpace page.

Melody hooks the leg on Megan...

2...



Holly breaks the count.

As Melody complains to the referee about Holly's interference, her lack of ring experience leaves her with her back turned to her opponent for far too long, allowing Megan time to recover and catch her with a forearm as she turns around. Megan quickly tags out to Holly, who runs in and uses the hair to whiplash Melody back across her knee with a modified backbreaker!

COLE
Ooh! That looked nasty.

Holly wraps Melody up...


1...



2...



Kickout!

Backing Melody into a corner, Holly delivers some hard punches before driving a shoulder to the midsection where Melody puts up a defensive guard. As Melody doubles over, she takes a nasty looking kick upside the head which sends her lurching backwards, falling over the middle rope backwards and left hanging out to dry. Holly nonchalantly climbs over her onto the turnbuckles and raises her arms.

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

After dragging Melody off the rope, Holly lands a hard elbow strike, then comes off the ropes to put even more momentum behind a second. Melody is left seeing stars and reaches out in vain for a tag despite being nowhere near her corner.

COLE
Melody is on dream street right now.

COACH
I don't see much of that Duncan confidence on Jade's face now, do you? I think she's realising, with her partner hurt and Alix running around delivering fake newspapers, she's in deep trouble if she gets tagged.

A stomp to the back of the head further scrambles Melody's brains. Kneeling down, Holly then applies a chinlock, pinning Melody down with her knee at the same time.


As Holly cranks back on the neck of the Manager Of The Year, the screen splits to show Malaysia Nerdly watching on backstage, absent mindedly oiling the chest of Mr. Dick who is spread across a leather recliner as she does so.

COLE
The former Women's Champion with her eyes on this one as she prepares Mr Dick for his PoseDOWN~! later tonight.


"MEL - O - DY!"
"MEL - O - DY!"
"MEL - O - DY!"
"MEL - O - DY!"

With Jade playing cheerleader, only fitting considering she's in a cheerleader's outfit for crying out loud, the Pheonix fans start to get behind Melody. The geek chic Nerdly fights to a slightly better position, on her knees but still in the chinlock. Holly simply lets her go though, striking her in the back. And again. Holly then comes off the ropes, looking for a clothesline. With a deft sidestep, Melody counters and looks for a crucifix. But despite her best efforts to bring Holly down, The Angel Of Death is able to hold herself up and sit out, driving Melody into the mat with a Samoan Drop! Reaching back, Holly casually hooks a leg...


1...




2...




No!

COLE
Melody staying in this match, but she really needs to get the Women's Champion in.

Holly paintbrushes Melody a couple of times before landing a more solid boot to the face. Tag is made, bringing Megan in. She doesn't enter the ring though, heading straight to the top. The fans and her partner try to warn Molly of what's coming as she gets back up looking lost. And as Melody turns her way, Megan goes for a Skye Dive...



...but Melody ducks and Megan crashes and burns!!!

"YYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHH!"

With the support of the crowd, Melody is able to scramble past Megan on hands and knees, to her corner where she makes the tag!

COLE
There we go!

Jade rushes into the ring, coming to a sudden stop as she misjudges Megan getting up. After a couple of steps back, she runs in again and looks for a crossbody of her own... and much like Megan, she crashes and burns as Megan hits the deck!

COACH
Ha! I still can't believe this second-generation embarrassment was able to beat Malaysia at AngleSlam.

COLE
It just goes to show that dreams can and do come true, if you work hard and have a great attitude...

COACH
*gags*

COLE
Oh you know what, fuck you.

COACH
:O

As Jade gets up, she turns around into a boot and a quick DDT! Cover...


1...




2...



No!

Megan sets herself and aims high with the Chick Kick... too high, as Jade ducks, snaring Megan in a surprise schoolgirl...


1...



2...



No!

A knee cuts Jade off as both ladies get to their feet. Megan delivers a forearm to the face, then whips Jade into her team's corner. Right away Holly grabs hold of Little Miss California's arm, keeping her penned in as Megan runs in with a clothesline. As Megan backs across the ring Holly continues to hold Jade back. But Jade manages to fight her off and just in time, dragging Holly over across the top turnbuckle avoiding a charge from Megan, sending her crashing into Holly's ribs!

COLE
Jade making fools of her opponents on that exchange, who does that remind you of?

Jade armdrags Megan out of the corner, then delivers a not-too graceful front dropkick to follow. In runs Melody, knocking Holly off the top to the floor and following out to go on the attack. Leaving Jade alone with Megan, giving the signal for the end.

COLE
Not exactly to her Mom's standards, but Jade calling for the finish all the same.

As Megan gets back to her feet, the Women's Champion waits behind her and reaches out with both hands to grasp the chin. But Megan has her scouted and drops to one knee, delivering a backfist to the midsection!

COACH
Megan way too smart for that though. By the way, FU right back man.

COLE
Snappy comeback.

From one knee Megan elevates Jade off the mat in a fireman's carry in an impressive show of strength. She carries the Women's Champion around the ring. Jade manages to escape though, shoving Megan off into the ropes. Megan ducks underneath a clothesline on her way back and grabs Jade in a waistlock. A switch puts Jade behind Megan, but Megan switches herself right back into position and shoves her forward, right into the referee. Luckily Jade is able to slow herself down before impact and Chioda just ends up on his BUTT with a hurt ankle. That doesn't stop Jade from apologising profusely and insisting on checking he's okay. Jade even goes so far as to help Chioda to his feet despite his insistance that he's not hurt. Once she's absolutely sure she hasn't accidently done him any damage, Jade then refocuses on the match...



...and gets laid out with a Chick Kick from the waiting Megan!

"OOOOOHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
The kick right to the head, that could do it.

Megan quickly goes for the cover, hooking both legs to put Jade high on her shoulders...


1...




2...




3!!!

COLE
And it does! Megan pins the Women's Champion!

*DINGDINGDING!*

Sliding into the ring too late, Melody curses herself as Megan's hand is raised in victory.

BUFFER
Ladies and gentlemen, your winners of the match... the team of HOLLY MANN and MEGAN SSSKKYYYYEEEE!!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Melody kneels at Jade's side, the Women's Champ holding the side of her head in pain as the effects of the kick sink in. Standing over her Megan cracks a bit of a smile for the first time. Chioda raises her hand in victory again before joining in on checking on Jade.

COACH
See, what did I tell you. One victory doesn't change a thing, Jade didn't suddenly become a great wrestler overnight. She's still the same Jade. Sucky.

COLE
That's typically harsh. And wrong. Jade got caught up with the referee, thanks to Megan pushing her into him.

COACH
And instead of making a smart-alec quip and giving him a high-heel in the rectum for getting in the way like her mother would, she had to play 'Florence Jadeinggale' and help him up. And it cost her, didn't it?

COLE
That it did.

With Holly still scowling at the shots she took, she and Megan back up the aisle with their victory. Megan seems much the more satisfied of the two as she smirks back at Jade, sat up with Melody's help but still holding at her aching head.
