ZH: Jade vs. Megan

[King Cucaracha 0]

COLE
Okay, up next we will see the Women's Championship on the line. The feel-good story of the Summer Jade Rodez-Duncan proved herself to the world last month when she finally overcome the seemingly unbeatable Malaysia Nerdly at AngleSlam, to win the Women's Title and make Mom proud. But she's soon found out that being Women's Champ doesn't stop there. The honeymoon was brought to an end by Megan Skye in tag team action just a couple of weeks later. And now, Jade has another battle to prove herself here at Zero Hour, facing Megan one on one in her first title defence.

COACH
And we're gonna find out once at for all if, as expected, Jade's win at AngleSlam was a fluke. Because if it was Megan will expose her for the fraud she is real quick.

COLE
Megan has led her man Landon Maddix to three World Championships here and in the SWF. She's also been Women's Champion of the SWF, although I'm told that doesn't really count for much whatsoever. But, the fact is, Megan may not be Malaysia but she's still a formidable test for Jade. A very different test. Jade found a way to overcome Malaysia's brute force and power, but Megan will strike fast and wrestle smart and Jade will need a totally different gameplan tonight.

COACH
And like I told you on Thursday, Jade ain't got no game.

COLE
Let's not get into the grammar arguement again, shall we? Instead let's go to the ring.



"Slide Away" by Oasis plays as the challenger emerges through the entrance way. Megan Skye walks with her head held high to the ring, a confident look on her face as she climbs the ring steps.

BUFFER
The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the OAOAST WOMEN'S CHAMPIONSHIP! Introducing the challenger... from Providence, Rhode Island. She is the brains behind Cucaracha Internacional... MMMEEEEEEEEEEEGGAAAAAAANN... SSSSSSSSKKYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

Megan warms up throwing a shadow punch combo with her heavily taped hands.

COLE
A big chance for Megan tonight and a chance for her to restore some pride for her man Landon, at the expence of the Duncan family.

COACH
The scourge of the Duncan family, but yeah, the Duncan family all the same.


"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. Bounding through the entrance way comes Jade Rodez-Duncan, pulling the Women's Title from around her waist and raising it exuberantly over her head, as if to say "look at me, I'm the Women's Champion!" Spotting a particularly large sets of signs spelling out 'J A D E' towards the back of the arena Jade points them out and seems to get lost in the amazement that someone would devote their time to cutting the letter of her name out of bright orange cardboard and bring them to a wrestling show all for little ol' her, as she forgets to tag any hands until she's halfway down the aisle.

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

"YYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!"

Jade enters demurely underneath the bottom rope before climbing the turnbuckles, again raising the belt with excitement, while pulling the hem of her cheerleader skirt down with a little embarrassment. 

"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 she jumps off the turnbuckles Jade turns to see Megan watching, looking very unimpressed. And suddenly Jade is hit by an attack of nerves. The smile disappears and she loses all the small but improved confidence she brought with her, as she hands her title belt over to referee Charles Robinson.

COACH
Look at her, like a deer in headlights. Face it, it's over.

COLE
The bell hasn't even rung yet Coach. Can you just tone your cynicism down even a little?

COACH
You're right, I'm sorry.

Jade takes deep, controlling breaths and tries to calm herself down as Robinson holds the belt up for the crowd. After checking both women are ready, and getting a less than convincing answer on one side, he then signals to the timekeeper's table.


*DINGDINGDING!*

COACH
Okay, there's the bell. [i]Now[/i] it's over.

Cautiously Jade leaves her corner, circling with Megan who looks much more at ease. After sizing each other the two ladies lock up. And it's the older, wiser Megan who slides behind Jade with a waistlock, taking her up off her feet and to the canvas. Megan controls Jade for a few seconds before getting up and backing away, arrogantly allowing the Champion get to her feet. Pushing up to her knees Jade puts her hands on her hips.

COACH
See?

COLE
That was only the first exchange.

COACH
And it's a humilatingly easy victory for Megan Skye. Let's see if the trend continues shall we?

Jade picks herself up and tries to steel herself as another lock-up comes. This time Jade surprises Megan by applying a side headlock which gets a cheer in itself from the Cleveland crowd. From there Jade has nothing though, as Megan slips out and trips Jade's leg. Jade hits the canvas face-first and holds her face, left embarrassed again as Megan again backs away and lets her up.

COLE
Well, I think Jade really needs to avoid trying to exchange holds with Megan, that much is clear.

COACH
Yeah, none of that complicated stuff, like HEADLOCKS! Memo to Krista, it ain't too late to consider adoption.

"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"

It's clear the fans are still on Jade's side though and she takes a little heart from that as she gets to her feet. Again they lock-up and there's a jockeying for position, before Megan goes behind with the waistlock. Jade tries to find an escape but comes up empty-handed, so instead resorts to throwing an elbow! Megan gets caught on the jaw and lets go of the waistlock, Jade turning around and staying on the attack throwing forearm strikes! Three forearms back Megan up near the ropes before Jade leaves her feet, with a dropkick which connects in the midsection, sending Skye spilling through the ropes and to the arena floor!

"YYYEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHH!"

COLE
Not the most graceful of dropkicks, but it was effective.

As Megan picks herself up, Jade looks to the crowd who are encouraging her to follow-up. Jade seems to get an idea, not one she seems completely sure of but an idea all the same, as she backs across the ring.

COLE
Wait a second, Jade's not thinking what I think she is, is she?

COACH
I hope not. She hardly the most aero-dynamic person alive.

Jade reaches the opposite side of the ring and there's excitement in the crowd, as she waves the referee out of her way. A deep breath later, she runs across the ring aiming right towards Megan. Ducking her head, Jade prepares to throw herself through the middle rope with a suicide dive...





*SMACK!*

"OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"


...BUT MEGAN CUTS HER OFF WITH A KICK TO THE HEAD!!!

COACH
HAHA! Beautiful!

COLE
Megan with the interception, and [i]how[/i]! That could have been a knockout right there.

As Jade slumps back into the ring, Megan flicks the hair from her face to reveal a smirk. She takes her time re-entering the ring and when she does, she drops an elbow to the back of Jade's neck. Jade holds her head, as Megan drops a second elbow. The challenger then turns Jade over and sticks a knee in the back as she applies a rear chinlock.

COLE
That perhaps ill-advised, high-risk attempt from Jade could come back to haunt her in the end as Megan now takes control with a chinlock. To be honest, I'm not really sure what Jade was thinking. Suicide dives and high-risk moves really aren't her style.

COACH
Nope, but they are Mommy's style. Maybe if Jade stopped trying to make Mommy happy all the time, she wouldn't fail so often.

Megan pulls back on Jade's jaw as referee Robinson checks if she wants to give up. Despite the throbbing pain in her head and now her neck, JRD refuses to give in though, trying to gut it out through the pain while she gets her bearings back.

"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"

The crowd try to lend their support again and Jade tries to feed off it, but it's clear she's in a bad way. Eventually, Skye releases the hold. But she doesn't release Jade, holding her in place by the hair as she drives the point of her elbow across the top of the head.

COLE
That kick really seems to have shaken Jade up.

Jade crawls away to a corner and uses the ropes to pull herself up. Following after her opponent, Megan delivers a boot in the corner, then whips Jade's head back from a hard forearm strike. A second forearm does the same, dropping Jade to one knee. Megan stops and extends her arms, asking the fans if this is all the competition the Champion can give her.

COACH
This is just easy for Megan right now.

COLE
She's certainly taking it easy. And Malaysia found out what a mistake that can be last month, didn't she?

With Jade trapped in the corner, Megan climbs to the middle rope. With her left leg on the rope, she then places her right across the side of Jade's head... and starts to SCRAPE the sole of her boot across the Women's Champion's face repeatedly!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

COLE
Ugh! Look at this!

"ONE!"
"TWO!"
"THREE!"
"FOUR!"
"FIVE!"

Megan breaks the hold and steps off the ropes to a warning from the referee, while poor Jade falls down in the corner covering up her face.

COACH
Don't worry girl, ain't nobody gonna be losing sleep over that.

Picking Jade up, Megan snapmares her out of the corner. The challenger follows up with a hard dropkick to the back, again whiplashing Jade's neck. Megan follows up with a cover...

2...




No!

As Jade sits up, Megan quickly traps her in the rear chinlock once again.

COLE
And again, a very controlled offence from Megan, as we expected.

COACH
And Jade with no answer for it like I expected.

COLE
You must be so proud of yourself.

Again, the Cleveland fans try to get behind the little girl in the cheerleader outfit as she's put at the challenger's mercy. Face showing the strain, Jade looks to be in trouble.

"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"
"LET'S GO JADE!"

The support only gets louder though, until Jade starts to react. Digging down deep she starts to stomp a foot, showing she's still in the match. Then, she suddenly turns around onto her knees. Megan holds onto the chinlock but Jade gets to her feet and puts everything she has behind an elbow to the gut. Megan clings on, so Jade delivers a second elbow. And a third. Free of the hold, Jade then drops Megan with a clothesline.

COLE
And back comes the Champion! What heart being shown here!

Jade fires up, knocking Megan down with a back elbow to the face as she gets back up. Suddenly the nervous looks from early in the match are gone and there's an intensity in Jade's eyes! As Megan recovers, 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 Skye down with another big clothesline!

JADE
COME ON!!!

"YYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
Exclusive: this Rich Little Blonde Girl Kicks Ass!

COACH
I dunno where she's getting this from.

Sending Megan into a corner, Jade follows her in with an ode to her uncle, driving DOUBLE KNEES at the challenger's (ample (no homo)) chest. Megan staggers from the corner as Jade keeps on running and hits the ropes. As she comes back though, her reckless abandon costs her as Megan is able to counter with a Powerslam!

"BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!"

COACH
Yes, got her!


1...




2...




NO!

COLE
Only two, we were close to a new Women's Champion right there.

COACH
It's only a matter of time now. Whatever possessed Jade for those few seconds is gone now and all Megan has to do is finish her.

Looking to do just that, Megan drops to a crouching position and measures Jade as she gets back up. Despite the many warnings being yelled at her Jade gets to her feet, all her momentum snuffed out. And as she turns around, Megan is waiting...



...with the CHICK KICK!!

COLE
OH! Caught her with the kick, and that, sadly, should do it.

COACH
What did I tell you.

A quiet comes over the crowd as Megan, dusting her hands, drops down and makes the lateral press...


1...





2...






NO, SHOULDER UP!!!

"YYYYEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

COACH
WHAT?!

COLE
ONLY TWO! Jade kicks out, it was the Chick Kick that put her away on HeldDOWN, but NOT tonight!

Megan looks shocked and complains to the referee that it should have been three.

"JADE!"
"JADE!"
"JADE!"
"JADE!"

Breaking away from the referee Megan grabs Jade by her expensively styled blonde hair and drags her to her feet roughly. By the hair, she throws her face-first into the top turnbuckle pad. Megan then lifts herself up onto the second rope and hooks hold of Jade by the head.

COLE
But now Megan looking for the Skye Lyte, if she hits this it will be over!

Realising that, Jade fights back with a shot to the stomach. Megan holds on, but Jade fires another shot. And a third. Skye loses hold of the head and Jade quickly takes advantage, as she turns her back on Megan, grabbing hold of both arms and bringing her forwards off the turnbuckles, sitting out to drive her impactfully into the mat!!

"YYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
No, Jade had the counter!

COACH
You've got to be kidding me!

Still dazed, Jade struggles to follow up after the big move. She has to literally push herself off the second turnbuckle she's fallen against and almost falls on top of Megan as much as covering her...


1...





2...




KICKOUT!

COLE
Even you have to give Jade some credit at this point Coach. She's proving herself all over again, as if she needed to after AngleSlam.

COACH
You mean by hanging onto this match by the skin of her teeth? Face it, Megan's still firmly in control. Jade's getting a few offensive bursts in but that's about it.

COLE
You and I must be watching different matches.

Both Jade and Megan struggle to pull themselves up. First up is Megan, with just enough time to spare to catch Jade with a sharp right hand. The shot sends Jade sprawling across the ring caught by surprise. But Jade shows her tenacity by getting right back up and nailing Megan with a retaliatory forearm! Megan shakes it off and connects with another quick jab, then strikes with a kick to the leg. Jade comes back with another forearm though and even encourages Megan to come back at her.

COLE
I think those fighting Duncan genes are kicking in!

Looking at little surprised at the little girl standing up to her, Megan puts her kickboxing on display with two quick kicks. Jade has no answer to that and Skye quickly grabs her. Scooping her onto her shoulders, Megan carries Jade around... but Jade escapes, wrapping Megan up in the cobra clutch before pulling her down into the knee with the backbreaker! Megan arches off the knee and holding her back, she falls into a corner. Backing up, JRD charges in at her... but takes an elbow.

COLE
Ooh, got caught there.

As Jade goes backwards, Megan comes out of the corner and aims for the head with another CHICK KI...



...NO! Jade ducks the kick... and grabs a hold of Megan's head as she's off-balance, pulling her down with the patented Duncan reverse x-factor!!

"YYYYYEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

COLE
There it is! Jade Got It From Her Momma and she's gonna get the win?


1...






2...






3!!!

COLE
YES!

*DINGDINGDING!*

"YYYYYEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!"

Jade rolls away from Megan and with great relief is handed her championship belt.

BUFFER
Here is your winner... and STILL the OAOAST Women's Champion... JJJAAAAAAAADDEEEEEE... RRRRRROOOOOOOODDEEEEEZZZZZZ - DDUUUUUUUUNNCCAAAAAAAAANN!!!!

"YYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

Clutching the title in her arms, Jade drags herself up the turnbuckles and raises it over her head.

COLE
Jade dedicating her victory to this Cleveland crowd who certainly played their part in what was a tough title defence for the Women's Champion. And it's the heart and desire of that young lady that shone through at the end. Congratulations to Jade Rodez-Duncan!

COACH
Could you be any more bias, towards this poor excuse for a Champion loser? Huh? Could ya?

COLE
*sighs*

Jade rolls herself out of the ring and celebrates the victory with some fans in the front row, who quickly overwhelm her by pulling her in for hugs and leaning over her to get their faces on camera. A quite shaken Jade manages to pull herself away from the overzealous fans though and decides to find some less rowdy people to celebrate with, a couple of young children and their parents. Megan sits up in the ring looking pissed at her defeat and scowling at Jade, as she heads to the back.
