Ryan Eric vs. Hayden Moore vs. Lucas Quinton
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is our opening match!!!
The fans cheer as they hear the reactions from Stormy Canyon.
Stormy Canyon: Currently in the ring Ryan Eric!!!
the fans give a small applause to the man that lost to Dmitri last week and that causes him to get upset about it.
Stormy Canyon: His first opponent, making his in ring debut. Standing in at 6'1 and weighs in at 220 pounds!! Hailing from London, England!!! " Just Perfection " Lucas Quinton!!!
The arena suddenly grows dark, the only thing seen is the flashing of the cameras in the stands. A loud blare echoes across the venue. Breakdown by Tantric plays on the system. A mix of bright blue, red, and yellow lights emerge from the darkness.
The venue lights come on suddenly and there is "Just Perfection" Lucas Quinton making his way to the ring.
Tex Martin: I've heard lots about this guy, he should be a good addition to the AWA!!!
Stormy Canyon: And their final opponent, also making his in ring debut he stands in at 5'10 and weighs in at 190 pounds!! Hailing from Detroit, Michigan and he is accompanied to the ring by Eric Corrayo!!! Hayden Moore!!!
The lights go out as the opening to “Sic” by Slipknot revs up. The lights begin to strobe as ”Magic” Hayden Moore struts to the center of the entrance way. Behind him follows Eric Corrayo. Hayden soaks in the cheers of the fans before sprinting down the ramp and sliding under the bottom rope into the middle of the ring. He sits in the middle of the ring on his knees with the lights strobing, he takes a few more moments to soak it in and then jumps up to his feet. The lights go back to normal as he gets final instructions from Eric Corrayo in his corner.
Tex Martin: If you like high flyers, then you love this guy!! He can be the future of this company!!
Duff Travers: Yeah, but he can also be the next big joke after Dmitri is through with him.
The bell rings as the three men stare at each other before Ryan Eric attacks the small newcomer Hayden Moore. But the youngster ducks the attack and manages to execute a dropkick on Eric. This sends him to the turnbuckles and then we see Quinton run in from behind with a clothesline to the back of Ryan Eric. this causes Eric to crash into the turnbuckles and then drops backwards. Hayden Moore runs to the ring ropes, jumps on the middle rope and executes a Moonsault on Ryan Eric and goes for the three count. But just as the referee goes for the three count it is Lucas Quinton that breaks up the three count by pulling Hayden off of Ryan Eric as he grabs him by the arms.
Tex Martin: Both men want to end it quick and it is Ryan Eric who is the unlucky one!!
Lucas Quinton whips Hayden into the ropes and goes for a Back Body Drop, but Hayden leapfrogs over him and runs to the other side as he goes for a flying forearm. But Lucas Quinton catches him by the waist and executes a modified Released overhead Belly to Back Suplex as that causes the fans to get to their feet and applaud him for the move. Lucas hooks the legs of Hayden Moore, but it is Ryan Eric that somehow manages to break the three count to much joy of Eric Corrayo.
Duff Travers: Get out of the arena you old man, you dont wrestle here anymore!!
Tex Martin: He's the manager!!
Duff Travers: So?
Ryan Eric grabs the head of Quinton Lucas and goes for a DDT, but it is Lucas that grabs the waist of Ryan Eric and drives him into the turnbuckles. He continues to drive his shoulders into the midsection of Ryan Eric before going for a big time Spinning Heel Kicka s he steps away from Ryan Eric. Just as he is about to execute the move it is Hayden Moore that grabs the leg of Lucas Quinton and drops him when he kicks the other foot underneath lucas Quinton. He then locks Quinton in a single leg Boston Crab submission hold. The referee checks inon Quinton if he wants to submit, but the rookie refuses to give in.
Duff Travers: Just give up, you can fight another day.
Suddenly we see Ryan Eric charge in on Hayden Moore, who lets go off the leg of Lucas Quinton and grabs Ryan Eric and drops him with a big time Spine Buster in the middle of the ring before going for the cover. The referee goes for the three count and calls for the bell as Hayden Moore has won his debut match.
Stormy Canyon: The winner of the opening match, Hayden Moore!!!!
After the match is over we see Corrayo run in the ring and celebrates with his protoge as suddenly the lights go out for a few moments and when the lights come back on we see Hayden Moore and Corrayo knocked out in the middle of the ring as Dmitri stands in the ring with them and has an angered look on his face.
Tex Martin: Oh my!! Dmitri has made his presence felt!!!
With that the shot fades to darkness as we go for a commercial break
After the show comes back from commercial we are taken backstage to Jason “The Sensation” Stevens’ locker room, well okay what was once his locker room, the room has been revovated, a large, flat screen TV adorns the wall, a leather sofa is sitting across from it, hell they even fitted in a carpet, and as you may of guessed by now Marty Mcfarge is the man who made it happen, we see Jason and Marty sitting on the couch discussing buisiness, Jason is still dressed to impress.
Texx: First the limo, then the girls, then the suit and now his freaking locker room has been renovated?! What next? Is Marty going to pay for Sophie’s breast implants?!
Duff: She’s getting breast implants?!
Texx shakes his head as the cameraman listions in on the conversation between Marty and Jason.
MM: Jason I pulled a fucking mitacle this past week by getting those sponsors to not drop the deals, for now however I’m waiting until you get another match before signing anymore deals, I mean does Goth have ANY idea how much sponsorship money he cost us this week?!
Marty says in an annoyed voice.
JS: Not much judging by what you did to the locker room.
MM: Jason, if you had to do three promos this week I would’ve been able to pay for a fucking mini bar over there! Not to mention the fact that I was still able to get you a bigger locker room despite the money we lost!
Marty exclaims.
JS: RELAX! Look everyone needs a week off once in a while and besides you where able to score me some more acting rolls!
MM: Yeah! A cameo on CSI: NY, a background character on Law and Order: SVU and another freaking advert! FOR CONDOMS to boot!
The fans laugh at Marty’s revelation.
JS: True, but keep in mind that if I end up in a gay porno because of you consider your ass fired!
Marty just shakes his head and whispers something in Jason’s ear.
JS: And on a completely unrelated note, buy games from gamespot, eat at Pizza Hut and Outback Steakhouse and don’t forget to watch reruns of AWA programming and ROH on HDNet, now back to your regurallly scheduled program!
The camera goes back to ringside.
Texx: You know, I just realized, where were Sophie and Carry in that promo?
Duff: If I had to guess, I’d say they where using the week off as an excuse to stay away from Marty!
The cameras cut bckstage and see Shipman in his ring gear playing with the stitches on his head. He is smiling as he sees the camera. Shipman: Well it is almost show time and time to show Dmitri and Asp why they are in for the fight of thier lives, literally. But this match is about to be overshadowed because I heard a nice little rumor going around the locker room. The return of the tag team division. So I am saying right now tryouts are on for people to be my tag partner but who will it be.This week I'll be paying extra close attention to all my opponents and everyone on the card and next I will announce who my partner will be. Will they approve, if they are smart they will. To all the involuntary participants in my little scouting process, good luck. With that said Shipman heads to the ring.
Asp walks down slowly to the ring whilst making “swamp sounds” on a microphone that he has in his hand.
Texx: Err, what the hell is he doing? Where’s his intro theme?
Duff just shrugs as the fairly new wrestler enters the ring and give the microphone to Stormy who takes a moment to wipe of Asp’s spit before making the introductions.
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is a triple threat match scheduled for one fall, in the ring, from deep in the Florida Everglades weighing in at 278ibs ASP!!!
Asp jumps up and down in the ring as he waits for his opponent, he doesn’t wait long however as Vampiria's Legacy in Blood hits as the arena goes black and the Titan Tron slowly starts to drip blood until the name of Dmitri appears. Dmitri slowly walks out to the ring with his manager walks in front of him. He does not concern himself for the people that are either exchanging their hands to touch him or to throw their drinks at him. As the two enter the ring his manager opens the ropes for him and allows Dmitri to get in and stare at the people in front of him.
Stormy Canyon: Introducing opponent number 1, from parts unknown weighing in at 275ibs this is DMITRY!
Asp, being slightly bigger than Dmitry, stands up to the monster of a man not backing down one bit, whilst this is going on Man That You Fear by Marilyn Manson blares over the speakers as the lights go out. Suddenly an eruption of pyro over the ramp creates a blast of light to see Shipman with a busted forehead and holding a barbed wire noose. The pyro dies as Shipman walks to the ring. He gets in, throws the noose to the floor and cheap shots Dmitry whilst he and Asp are arguing, Shipman keeps attacking as the music fades.
Texx: Well, guess the match is starting!
Shipman and Asp take it in turns beating up Dmitry, they appear to have formed an alliance for the time being, Asp, being the bigger of the two picks up Dmitry and Shipman bounces of the ropes and hits a Hart Attack clothesline, Asp goes for a cover 1....2....Shipman breaks it up and hits Asp with a Low Blow followed up with a DDT as Asp doubles over, he goes for a cover of his own 1....2....Asp kicks out.
Texx: Man, that alliance lasted longer than Duff does in bed!
Duff: Yeah I....HEY!!!
Whilst the commentators bicker the action continues, Dmitry is back up and surprised Shipman with a Lariat, Asp gets up as well still favouring his crotch area but he doesn’t let that stop him as he fires rights and lefts at Dmitry who returns the favour, they make there way over to the ropes not noticing that Shipman is back on his feet, acting quickly he grabs both opponents and throws them over the top rope and to the floor, he waits for them both to get up and when they do he bounces of the ropes and hits them both with a suicide dive.
Texx: Shipman has just outsmarted his opponents and all three are down, in any other company we would’ve cut to a commercial break right about now but this is AWA and WE DON’T TAKE BREAKS!
Duff: My poor ears!
Shipman gets up first and goes to attack Dmitry only to be met by a low blow, Dmitry rolls Shipman into the ring and hits him with a Piledriver and locks in a Dragon Sleeper, Shipman seems to be on the verge of tapping out but from out of nowhere Asp dives in and breaks the hold attacking Dmitry with rights and lefts, Shipman soon recovers and waits for an ample opportunity to attack, Asp turns around and Shipman nails him with a Lou Thez Press and proceeds to fire punches at Asp’s face, getting up he turns his attention to Dmitry and whips him to the corner and hits Dmitry with the London Calling and quickly goes for a cover 1....2....Dmitry’s manager pulls the ref out of the ring and levels him with a right hand.
Texx: WHAT?! Shipman had the match won!
Shipman rolls out of the ring and checks on the ref, seeing that he is out he grins evilly and gets out a barbed wire nose.
Texx: Parents, put the kids to bed, this is not going to pretty!
Shipman rolls back into the ring but before he can attack either wrestler Dmitry’s manager grabs hold off the noose, annoyed Shipman makes do with hanging the manager by the noose.
Texx: Hah! The manager’s getting what he deserves!
Duff: I’m pretty sure that he would disagree there!
Dmitry’s manager gasps for air begging for another official to come out or the original official to get up, neither of the two happen however as Dmitry attacks Shipman from behind forcing Shipman to let go, still the manager lands pretty hard and it’s obvious that he won’t be interfering again, Dmitry locks Shipman in his version of the Mandible Claw and it appears that he has the match won, except the ref’s still out cold on the floor.
Texx: The manager’s actions have cost Dmitry the match!
Dmitry lets go and goes out to the floor, trying to stir some life into the ref, he succeeds (though the ref is barely conscious) and rolls back in and goes for a cover 1...2...Asp breaks it up.
Texx: Where the hell did Asp come from?
Duff: You’re asking me?!
Asp continues the assault and Suplexes Dmitry to the mat, Asp goes for a cover 1...2....Shipman breaks it up and brawls with Asp, Dmitry soon gets up and waits for either opponent to be knocked out of commission, Shipman slips up and Asp hits The Squeeze, he gets up knowing that Dmitry needs to be dealt with first, he turns around but Dmitry hits him with a brutal Spinebuster and climbs up top.
Texx: He’s going for the Eyes Of Blood, this one could be over!
Dmitry sails through the air looking for the headbut but Asp rolls out of the way with seconds to spare, Asp quickly follows up with a roll up 1....2...kick out.
Texx: Close call for both sides!
Asp gets up kicking the ground in frustration, Shipman is back up and charges Asp, however Asp ducks and Shipman runs into a big boot from Dmitry, he spins Asp around and hits him with the DDT and follows it up with The Bite of Death, not satisfied Dmitry goes back up and hits the Eyes Of Blood and covers Asp 1....2....3!!!!
Stormy Canyon: The winner of the match DMITRY!
Legacy In Blood plays again and Dmitry leaves carrying his unconscious manager on his shoulders.
Before his three way dance match Sean Slater has requested some time with the live AWA Insomnia crew. We head backstage into his dressing room where he stands awaiting us. Sean looks into the camera smiling wide and confident.
Sean Slater: Rex Butler and Fang the game is just seconds from starting in just a few moments all three of us will walk down to the ring certain that we will come out on top. But for the two of you that reflection is a mere delusion. The one and only sole survivor in our diminutive battle here tonight in lovely Vancouver is going to be me… Sean Slater.
Sean points up at his face.
Sean Slater: If you are stupid and don’t believe me then all the power to you… I love proving people wrong anyhow. Now I’m sure Rex and Fang are going to give every ounce of their get-up-and-go here tonight because this match is very important but I know that neither of them have the amount of fuel in the tank that I do. Rex is just a big gas guzzling semi and Fang is a fast and powerful muscle car. Both are great in their own ways but I’m Sean Slater a swift high performance modern race car I go zero to sixty in around two seconds and I have a higher top speed than the two of them combined. Furthermore I go longer and harder than Rex or Fang so tonight the champagne bottles will be opened and the bubbles with fly as Sean Slater is the first to cross the checkered flag and keeps right on going to Burning Point to capture MY International Championship. See you out there boys.
With that the camera fades and we go back to the arena
The howl of a wolf is heard as the lights in the arena dim. “Wolfmoon” from Type O Negative begins to play and a shower of white pyro comes from the entrance. Fang walks out in his wrestling attire, a nice white t-shirt, black jeans and black shoes. He walks around the ring area with a sneer on his face but finally slaps hands with some of the fans, while he receives a mixed reaction. Fang slides into the ring to await his opponents.
Stormy: The following match is scheduled for one fall and is a triple threat match. The winner of this match will receive an International Title shot at the next pay-per-view. Introducing first from Long Pond PA…Fang.
Tex: Fang looking to get a title opportunity after a huge week last week.
Duff: He’s starting to get back into his groove in that ring.
The lights go out as "Guilty" by Since October blares through the arena. A blast rocks the stage as pyro shoot into the air while Rex Butler and Alisha Hicks walk onto the stage. Red strobe lights flash throughout the arena as Rex stops at the end of the stage and looks around before the two of them make their way down the ramp. Rex steps onto the ring apron and over the top rope as Alisha stands outside the ring. The lights come back on as Rex stands on the corner, rubbing his hands together.
Stormy: And his opponent, from Los Angeles California….Rex Butler.
Tex: Butler looks at demonic as ever. He wants a title around his waist.
Duff: And he will maim, cripple, or kill anyone who gets in his way.
Lights of various colors flash through the intro of Eminence Front as the fans in attendance give a mixed reaction. Once the music hits Sean Slater darts though the curtains and onto the stage. Sean raises his hands high into the air while he mumbles to himself under his breath. A pyrotechnic display lights off behind him as a waterfall of sparks shower down behind him. He begins walking down the aisle pointing at fans that are booing him and slapping the hands of those who are loudly cheering. All the while he is talking trash about his opponent and saying nothing but great things about himself. When Sean reaches the mats on the outside of the ring he grabs his chin and looks all over the arena and the rabid fans before continuing too the stairs. Sean climbs the stairs while stomping down hard on each step. Slater grabs the post and pulls himself onto the ring apron and slowly walks to the center of the ropes while admiring himself. Sean then quickly and gracefully enters the ring though the middle rope. Sean then struts over to the far turnbuckle which he slowly climbs while holding the top rope he then gazes again at all the fans before raising his hands to a diverse response. Out of nowhere Butler attacks Slater sending him toppling over the top rope. The bell rings. Fang quickly rushes into Butler, but is hurdled into the corner. Butler starts giving hard body punches to Fang while Slater shakes his head trying to get back to his feet on the outside.
Tex: Rex Butler not waiting to get this match up started.
Duff: I told you, he’s going to do what he has to for that title.
Butler goes to whip Fang out of the corner. Fang reverse it and sends Butler into the turnbuckles. Fang rushes the corner, but is met with a hard boot to the face from Butler. From behind Slater chop blocks Butler down to one knee. Slater bounces off the rope and hit’s a drop kick that sends onto his back. Slater goes for the quick pin one….tw..Butler launches him off. Slater scrambles back to his feet, as Butler tries to get back to one knee Slater nails him in the temple with a running knee lift. He goes for another quick cover one…two..th…Butler kicks out. Fang pulls himself up using the ropes as Slater gets back to his feet. They share a look and then bring Butler back to his feet. Both Fang and Slater begin rocking Butler with hard rights to the skull. Butler wobbles between them. Slater yells something to Fang and they shoot Butler to the ropes. As he bounces back they give him a double backdrop over the top rope and Butler smacks the ground almost landing directly on his head.
Tex: Oh my god. That could’ve broken Rex Butler’s neck.
Duff: You have to do what you have to do. Fang and Sean Slater needed to take the monster out of the match and that meant teaming up.
Fang looks at Butler and spits on him from the ring. He then turns around and Slater surprises him with a hard exploder suplex. Slater quickly locks Fang into a front face lock, he starts adding pressure and the referee asks Fang if he wants to give up. Slater continues to wrench on the neck of Fang. Fang refuses to give up and gets his foot on top of a bottom rope. Slater breaks the hold and backs up. Fang slowly rises to one knee and Slater walks back to him. He goes for a hold, but Fang chops him hard in the chest. Slater stumbles back but then walks to Fang again who gets to his feet and hits three more hard chops that rock Slater. Fang bounces off the ropes and hit’s a hard clothesline that flips Slater over himself.
Duff: Just when you think Fang is out of it, he comes back hard.
Tex: None of these men can be counted out of the match.
Slater holds his lower back. Fang walks around and gives a few stomps to Slater. Fang looks over to Butler, he is still shook up, trying to shake the cob webs loose hanging onto the guard rail. Fang goes back to Slater, he grabs Slater’s head and brings him to his feet. Slater pushes Fang’s hands off, a quick kick to the gut and Slater hit’s a hard Ace Crusher II. Slater goes for a pin one…two…th…Fang barely rolls a shoulder over. Butler gets himself up onto the apron. Slater goes over and hit’s a hard European uppercut. Butler holds onto the top rope. Slater hits another, Butler holds on with everything he has. Slater goes for a third, but Butler nails him with a haymaker to the temple. Butler hit’s a throat thrust that stumbles Slater back. Slater turns around and Fang is on his feet. Fang punches Slater back into Butler, which sends Butler face first back into the guardrail. Slater stumbles into a Fatal Shot by Fang. He covers quickly one…two…thre…Slater grabs the bottom rope millimeters before the hand hits for the three.
Tex: SO CLOSE! FANG WAS SO CLOSE TO THE WIN!
Duff: That was smart thinking on Sean Slater’s part. Fang needs to know where he is in the ring at all times.
Fang jumps up in disbelief. The crowd erupts and Fang tries to settle himself down. Fang drags Slater to the center of the ring, he signals for it to be all over. He picks the groggy Slater back to his feet. Fangs hooks in the full nelson, preparing for the Fenris Bite. Slater tries to fight it off, he blocks the first throw attempt. Fang tightens his grip and it looks like Slater is weakening. With one final burst of energy Slater slams his heel into Fangs foot, it loosens the grip enough that Slater drops down and out of the full nelson. Slater grabs Fang with a single leg takedown. He slams Fang’s knee into the canvas twice.
Tex: This has been so back and forth.
Duff: You have three equally match men going for one prize.
Slater looks over at Butler who is again trying to pull himself up using the apron. Slater bounces off the ropes and hit’s a flash elbow onto the back of Fang’s head. Slater yells to the crowd and calls for the Three Second Snooze. He pulls Fang to his feet, a kick to the gut. Slater plants him with the Three Second Snooze. Slater falls on top of Fang for the pin….one….two….thre…..Butler breaks up the pin. He grabs Slater by the throat and hurls him over the top rope to the ground. Quickly he covers Fang one…two….three.
Stormy: Here is your winner….. REX BUTLER!
Tex: That should’ve been Sean Slater’s victory.
Duff: It’s how the match works in a triple threat match. Butler saw his opportunity and now he gets an International Title shot.
Rex can be seen having his hands raised by the referee before walking to the back
Sean Slater is in the back still upset over his lose. He is getting dressed when Eric Corrayo approaches him. Sean doesn’t seem to happy to see him.
Eric Corrayo: Tough luck man, you win some and you lose some. But it’s about what you do when you lose that close one.
Sean doesn’t respond he just glares at Eric.
Eric Corrayo: Listen, Goth wants to start the tag division up again. There are very few people in this locker room I would want teaming with Hayden, and you are at the top of my list Sean.
Sean starts packing his bag.
Eric Corrayo: You know what I saw out there tonight? Glimpses of greatness, I’ve been seeing them every week sense you’ve joined up here in the AWA. The fact is whether you like it or not in the AWA you get ahead with someone watching your back. You and Hayden could become the most dominant tag team AWA has ever known and from that you can catapult your singles career to as high as you want to be. But right now, you need help. You two are the future of this company and with me guiding your way, I promise one day you will be holding that Universal title on your shoulder. You do your part with this team and I’ll do mine.
Eric reaches out his hand, Sean looks unsure. But he finally shakes Eric’s hand. Eric smiles and leaves while Sean continues to back his bag.
The scene opens up with Toxic Angel backstage as she is seen preparing for her match, stretching and warming up to go out and take on Monoxide. As she turns around, she notices the camera crew nearby trying to get a closer look at what she is doing. Making the best of the situation, Toxic Angel walks over making sure that the camera crew catches her very word that she’s about to speak.
Toxic Angel: Before I go out there tonight and end another career with nothing but pain and torture I want everyone to know what tonight is all about.
Clearing her throat there’s a clear sign of pure darkness within her eyes.
Toxic Angel: Tonight it’s all about first steps, what that means is after I am done with Monoxide I shall be moving on to bigger and better things. That means my next targets are the Knights of Templar. It’s time for Goth and his little toy soldiers to know who the true puppet master is around here. You see I was blinded by the hold that Goth had upon me and I’ve notice that he just can’t do the dirty work so he has his little puppets do it for him. So this is an open threat to both Bill & Erik Black. In only a matter of days I shall be coming for you and I promise I’ll make every little moment of pure pain last as long as I can. Goth this is the beginning of the end for you. Soon you’ll see exactly what a true puppet master can do.
Pushing the camera out of her way, she went back to preparing for her match. She knew that actions needed to be set in motion and tonight it would all start with Monoxide and end with the Knights of Templar.
GET PSYCHO by Disturbed hits the speakers and rocks the arena. There is a mixed reaction from the crowd as the lights fade out. A green spotlight hits the landing at the top of the entrance ramp as Toxic Angel steps out from the backstage area and stops at the landing, in the green spotlight, and plays the crowd again to a mixed reaction. After her brief pause on the landing she heads off down the ramp to the ring. When she gets close to the ring she takes a run at the ring, dives into the air, and slides into the ring under the bottom rope. Toxic quickly pops to her feet and struts around the ring to play everyone in the arena. She finally backs into a corner to await the arrival of her opponent Monoxide.
STORMY CANYON: Here is our first participant in this match, which is a Standard Rules Match with the winner becoming the Number One Contender for the Universal Title on the second Insomnia Card after the April Pay-per-View, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, standing in at 5 feet 6 inches and weighing 135 pounds, it is ELIZA “TOXIC ANGEL” BAXTER!!!!!
Toxic gets a split mixed reaction from the Vancouver, British Columbia crowd. Some are for her being a Canadian and the rest are against her from being from another Province.
TEX: I see Monoxide handing Toxic Angel her butt on a silver platter tonight. She can’t hang with Monoxide and even you have to know that!
DUFF: Ahem! Battle Royal where Monoxide put the International Title on the line? Who was the runner up in that match and who got eliminated about half way through? Yes! Toxic Angel damn near won that Battle Royal my friend, so shut up and pay attention!
GOD OF THUNDER by KISS hits the speakers in the arena as the lights to black. There is a murmur around the Arena as the fans sit in total darkness. Suddenly there is a white spotlight on the landing at the top of the entrance ramp and fire shoots up from around the landing with a lot of smoke. We see Monoxide step out from the smoke and stand at the top of the landing glaring down at the ring where Toxic Angel is waiting for him. After posting there for a short time he heads off down the ramp to the ring. When Monoxide arrives at the ring he climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, then he leaps over the top rope and into the ring. He quickly takes up a position in the corner opposite of where Eliza Baxter is waiting.
STORMY CANYON: Here is our next participate in this Number One Contendership Match for the Universal Title, from Los Angeles, California, standing 6 feet 2 inches and weighing 188 pounds, it is “THE SMOKER” MONOXIDE!!!!!
There is a mostly negative reaction to Monoxide as he is from the United States and Los Angeles and these Canadians are not to favorable to Californians.
TEX: Although you are so damn biased, Duff, that a blind dead person could see it, I still believe that Monoxide is going to bring the hurt to Toxic Angel and move on to face either Bill Barnhart or Erik Black two weeks after the April Pay-per-View!
DUFF: That is your problem Tex, you try to think with a non-functioning brain, and every time you do that you come out on the wrong side of the issue. What you are going to see is Toxic Angel obtain the Number One Contendership for the Universal Title and then two weeks after the April Pay-per-View you are going to see her defeat either Bill Barnhart or Erik Black to become the first ever female Universal Champion in Asylum Wrestling Alliance history!
Referee “Simple” Simon Jones steps to the middle of the ring and he calls Toxic and Monoxide to him. While the two wrestlers are standing to the side of Referee Jones, he explains to them that this is a Standard Rules match and that the winner obtains the Number One Contendership for the Universal Title and that they will face either Bill Barnhart or Erik Black two weeks after the April Pay-per-View. Referee Jones reminds them that since this is a Standard Rules match there will be no tolerance of illegal hits and moves and no use of weapons or there might be an immediate disqualification. He asks of Toxic Angel and Monoxide fully understand where he is coming from on officiating this match and both nod that they fully understand and agree. Referee Jones tells both wrestlers to return to their respective corners and when the bell rings to come out fighting and may the best man, or woman, win. Simon Jones walks over to the side of the ring where the Timekeeper is located and asks him to ring the bell to start the match. The bell has rung and this match is underway. Referee Jones motions for the wrestlers to get into the match as he steps back to allow them room to wrestle.
TEX: I am anxious to see how this match progresses. Both wrestlers possess great wrestling skills. Monoxide also has an 8 inch height advantage and 53 pounds of weight so that should be a factor in his favor.
DUFF: Favor…Schmavor! All that means is that Eliza is lighter and quicker in the ring and she will easily be able to hit Monoxide and get out of the way before he can counter.
Toxic is the first to arrive in the center of the ring while Monoxide cautiously approaches her. In a gesture of good sportsmanship we see Monoxide reach out with his hand to shake the hand of Toxic. She is not about to fall for a trick by Monoxide so she does not grab the hand of Monoxide to shake his hand, but instead she reaches out and bitch slaps Monoxide across the face so hard that the slap can be heard in the farthest reaches of the Arena. Monoxide is complaining to Referee Jones about the slap but Jones reminds Monoxide that an open-handed hit it a legal and valid hit. Monoxide has to accept the official decision of the Referee on this one. As Monoxide approached Toxic again she again lashes out for another bitch slap to the face of Monoxide who blocks the slap and delivers a very hard bitch slap of his own leaving a hand print on the cheek of Toxic. She merely smiles and gives a thumbs up sign to Monoxide expressing her satisfaction that the young man has some fight in him for this match. The two begin circling each other like two roosters in a cock fight. They finally lock up and Monoxide gets the advantage by backing Toxic into the ropes. Referee Jones is right there to ask for the break. Monoxide does break cleanly but only for a split-second before delivering a hard forearm smash to the chest of Eliza. Much to his surprise Baxter quickly strikes back with a forearm smash to the chest of Monoxide. This time it is Monoxide who acknowledges the comeback hit and he smiles in appreciation of having a worthy opponent.
DUFF: Uh, how long are these two going to do their rendition of the Mutual Appreciation Society and get down to some serious butt kicking?
TEX: What is the problem Duff? You cannot stand to see two wrestlers show appreciation for what the other is capable of doing in the ring?
Monoxide shakes off the hit from Toxic and he backs up and walks around the ring planning his next move. Toxic also walks around the ring keeping a close eye on Monoxide and planning her next move. Monoxide takes the initiative by running in on Toxic and grabbing her by the arm and whipping her into the ropes and catching her with a drop kick on the rebound. Eliza hits the mat but quickly gets back to her feet much to the surprise of Monoxide. He again grabs her by the arm to whip her into the ropes but Toxic reverses it on him and whips Monoxide into the ropes and catches and lifts him up and drops him on his lower back on her knee. This hurts Monoxide as is plain to see by the expression on his face and the howl he lets out. Toxic tosses Monoxide to the mat and covers him for the pin. Referee Simon Jones drops for the count, ONE…TWO…and because Toxic didn’t hook his legs firmly enough Monoxide was able to kick out at the two count.
TEX: There you go Duff. Toxic Angel wasn’t man enough to get the three count on Monoxide.
DUFF: She’s a woman Tex! She nearly won the Battle Royal for the International Title. Just because her opponent kicked out of a pining combination early in the match has nothing to do with whether she is a man or a woman. She is a very capable wrestler and everyone here knows that.
Toxic isn’t happy she missed the three count but she doesn’t let up enough for Monoxide to get back into the match. She stands up and drags Monoxide to his feet and delivers a double axe handle chop to his throat. Monoxide grabs his throat and is gasping for air as Toxic goes in for the kill. She slides around and hits a sweep kick to the ankles of Monoxide causing him to drop to the mat. She then drops an elbow across the throat of Monoxide and she again goes for the pin. Simon Jones is quick to drop in for the count, ONE…TWO… and Referee Jones stops the count at two. Toxic is wondering what is going on when she sees Jones pointing to the ropes where Monoxide has his foot on the bottom rope. Eliza reluctantly breaks the hold by standing up. After a split-second she stomps on the knee of Monoxide which causes him significant pain as his foot was on the bottom rope at the time.
TEX: What a cheap shot! His foot was on the rope!
DUFF: She broke the hold and the Referee already gave her a warning for stomping on his leg while on the rope.
TEX: Warning my foot! The damage is still done!
Referee Jones pushes Toxic back as we see Monoxide slowly get to his feet. We can see the damage done to his leg as he is not able to put his full weight on the leg right now. Monoxide limps along the ropes and he is about half way between the turnbuckles when Toxic pushes her way past Referee Jones and charges Monoxide on the ropes with an attempted clothesline. Monoxide looks up and sees Eliza coming and he can do nothing more than drop to the mat at the last second. This causes Baxter to miss the clothesline and she flies over the top rope and lands hard on the arena floor. Monoxide rolls out of the way and faces toward the side of the ring where Toxic went out. He looks up to see Referee Simon Jones making a count out on her. ONE…TWO…THREE… everyone watches to see if Eliza can get up and back into the ring before the ten count to avoid a count out loss. FOUR…FIVE… Baxter is stirring at ringside and she is up on her knees. SIX… Toxic is now leaning on the ring apron and she is attempting to pull herself up on the apron. SEVEN… She manages to get up on the ring apron but Monoxide manages to launch a kick in her direction which not only breaks the count of Jones but also causes Toxic to drop back to the arena floor.
TEX: A very smart move on the part of Monoxide to keep Toxic on the outside of the ring.
