Goth: That’s ok folks, I don’t mind being appreciated for what I truly am? A winner, an asshole and above all. A man that is always RIGHT!! A man that isn’t afraid to tell you that I told you so, but in case of Matthew Toddi? I told you so.
Goth bursts out in laughter as he kisses Sapphira softly on the lips
Goth: But that’s not what I’m here for, I’m here for one thing and one thing only. The qualifying matches for the Universal Championship. Now unlike we have stated before that the winner at Breakout would become the number one contender for the Universal Championship, that decision has been prosponed to a week prior to the next PPV. Wea re going to have series of matches where all six competitors will compete in numerous matches throughout the 1,5 month leading up to the next big show!!!
Tex: That’s huge!!!
Goth: We will see men compete for points in these matches, the one with the most points will become the number one contender for the Universal Championship. The points will be given by the following ways… a victory by disqualification will lead up to one point, a victory by pinfall will be 2 points. A victory by submission will give you three points. And of course a loss, will grant you zero points. The one person who will have the most points after the whole run will become the number one contender for the Universal Championship!!!
The crowd respond with mixed emotions to the announcement of Goth
Goth: And to make it even more interesting, at Breakout there will be a Six man over the top Battle Royal. At the Battle Royal there will be points given for every wrestler that you have eliminated and by the number of elimination… And those points will be 5 times the amount of a normal victory. So with other words, I suggest those who wish to become number one contender for the Universal Championship? Needs to put to their A game…
With that Goth’s music hits and the owner walks away
We switch backstage where we see Bill Barnhart and his English Bulldog, Iris, walking down the hallway looking for a particular room. When Bill finally finds the room he is looking for he stops at the door. We notice on the door the sign reading GOTHFATHER OF AWA. Bill is about to knock on the door, however being the arrogant and confident person he is, Barnhart instead of just pushes the door open and he and Iris boldly walk in. Goth is sitting at his desk hard at work and he is visibly annoyed that Bill just barged in on him. Goth gives Bill a disgustingly evil look as Barnhart walks over to the couch and plops down on the couch like he owns the building.
GOTH: Bill! Who in the hell do you think you are? You don't just barge into my office like you own the place!
BILL BARNHART: Who am I? The wrestler with the most victories here in Asylum Wrestling Alliance. I can do whatever I want. Until someone obtains more victories than me I am the top dog around here!
GOTH: Speaking of dogs, where is that flea-ridden mutt Iris?
We see Iris walking around Goth's office sniffing around. Goth peers over his desk and when he sees Iris sniffing around he immediately thinks she is going to piss in his office again so he goes off on her.
GOTH: Iris! Don't you even THINK about pissing on my office carpet you friggin' filthy mutt!
Iris gets so scared when Goth yells at her that she loses control of herself and she squats and takes a shit on the carpet in Goth's office. The smell from her poop makes Goth gag.
GOTH: Dammit Bill! What in the hell do you feed Iris? Dead skunks? Man I have never seen a dog that smells that bad when she takes a crap! Hurry up and make your point and then leave. And when you leave go find the janitor to come and steam clean my office carpet and freshen the air with something. What did you want from me?
BILL BARNHART: I understand why I am in a Universal Title Qualifying match but what I don't understand is why Chris Shipman is. Didn't he prove he is not Universal Title material by losing to Shane West at the Pay-per-View? And look at the other people in the Qualifying matches. Nicholas Brooks? Matthew Toddi? Alex Young? Other than myself and Fang there isn't anyone in the Universal Title Qualifying matches who deserves to be there! Why do I have to face Chris Shipman when he just lost to Shane West?
GOTH: Because I said so...that's why! Now get the hell out of my office and bring that smelly mutt Iris with you! Don't forget to get the Janitor to come to steam clean my carpets and freshen the air. Damn Bill! I am about to puke here!
BILL BARNHART: Sheesh! I have to go anyway. Since we have the services of Chris Shipman as our bitch servant for a month, I have asked him to give Iris a bath and get her dressed for our match tonight. I have to drop Iris off at my dressing room so that Shipman can bathe her while I go have a talk with Jonathan Porter. See ya!
Bill and Iris quickly leave Goth's office. On the way out Barnhart deliberately closes the door to Goth's office so that the smell Iris made will linger a bit longer. The cameraman follows Barnhart and Iris down the hall where we wee Bill stop to inform the Janitor of the situation in Goth's office. We watch as the Janitor prepares his steam carpet cleaner to bring to Goth's office. The cameraman turns the camera on Barnhart and we watch him and Iris walk down the hallway to return to their dressing room.
Jason John Cash vs. Twister
Stormy:The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is the opening match!!
"Unforgiven" by Metallica plays as the lights turn a dim blue. The curtains open and Rupert Vaughn enters wearing a Gucci suit and motions behind him for something to come out. A team of druids wearing black robes push out a cage with a chained man wearing a white robe sitting indian style in the center of it, Twister. They get to ringside and Vaughn unlocks the cage and Twister calmly exits the cage and enters the ring with Vaughn. Twister extends his hands forward as Vaughn unlocks his chains and hands it to a druid outside the ring. He then helps Twister remove his robe and hands it to a different druid as yet another druid hands Vaughn a microphone.
Rupert: "I present to the world of the AWA, MY CHAMPION OF MY LEGION... A Modern Day Gladiator... TWISTER!!!"
Twister raises his hands in the air to the mixed reactions of the crowd and the returns to his corner awaiting the match to begin.
Stormy:And his opponent!!! Standing in at 6’4 and weighing in at 255 pounds!! Hailing from Braxton, MS!!! One half of the AWA tag team championship!!! Jason John Cash!!!
Take it outside by Brantley Gilbert hits on the PA system. Jason Cash walks out of the curtain with a huge smirk across his face. He looks around to the crowd before taking a large drink of his beer. He then makes his way down to the ring. Once inside, he reaches into his boot and takes out his can of cherry skoal. He gets himself a dip and he is ready to fight
Tex: The big man that destroyed Bill after his lost match against a man that is red hot so far in the AWA!! I see a good and interesting match in this contest!!
Duff: Cash is going to be my huckleberry Tex!!!
The bell has rung and the big man charges in on Cash and surprises the tag champion with a a knee in the midsection after having some of the punches blocked from the big man. Cash staggers backwards as Twister grabs him by the head and delivers him several headbutts to the head before driving an elbow into the neck of the tag team champion. Twister lifts him up and slams him down with a big time Body Slam before going down for an elbow drop.
Tex: Nice roll out from the champion!!
Cash rolled out of the way at the right moment, forcing the big monster to crash hard on the canvas. Cash gets up and grabs the arm of the big man and locks it in a hammerlock. The big man tries to grab the hair of Cash behind him, but Cash has his head out of reach behind the back of the big man. Pulling hard on the arm before kicking the big man in the back of his knees, causing him to fall down to his knees. Cash then lets go off the arm and grabs the head of the monster and drops backwards. Causing the spine of Twister get a big time snap in an unnatural way. Forcing him to fall forwards after the massive impact of the blow, holding on to his lower back. Cash sits up and rolls the big man over to his back and covers him, but Twister gets his shoulder up in time.
Duff: Nice move from the tag champion, I look forward to see him beat this guy
Cash runs to the ropes, but just as he comes in contact with the ropes he gets tripped by the manager from Twister. Rupert walks away, pretending not to know what has happened, but Cash gets up irate and slides out of the ring. He gets face to face with the manager of Twister as he sets him up for a Body Slam on the concrete floor. Just as he is about to execute the move it is Twister that kicks him in the back. Causing Cash to drop the manager of Twister. Twister then grabs Cash and slams him back first into the ring apron before sliding in and out of the ring to break the ten count. He then grabs Cash and rolls him in the ring as he looks at his manager, who tells him to get in the ring. Twister rolls back in the ring and sets Cash up for a Powerbomb, but just as he lifts Cash up he gets surprised as Cash somehow manages to slip his grip and plants Twister on the canvas with a DDT. Both men are spent as the referee is using the ten count on both men, Cash slowly starts to stir as he drapes his arm over the chest of Twister. But only gets a two count as Twister gets his shoulder up just in time. The fans are enjoying the match as they are rooting on both men, to the irritation of the manager of Twister.
Tex: Both men show some will to win in this match!!
Cash crawls to the ropes, to pull him up to his feet before having him get pulling himself to his feet. He seizes up the big man for another offensive move, he sees Twister getting to his feet and then wants to charge in on him, but his leg is being held by Rupert. Cash takes his eyes of the big man as he punches Rupert. He then turns around as he walks right into the Spinebuster of Twister, this causes him to lose all oxygen out of his body. Twister then picks up Cash and puts him in his Wasted Freedom Sit Down Double Underhook Powerbomb. He then covers Cash for the three count and gets the win as the referee calls for the bell
Stormy:The winner of this match!!! Twister!!
Twister stands alone in the ring after the match. He motions for a microphone much to the dismay of Rupert Vaughn who is forbidding it. He grabs the microphone from the ring attendants hand and throws it to the ground. Then he motions to one of his druids who pulls a microphone out of his sleeve.
Rupert Vaughn: Did I say you can speak. You are a disgrace and a delinquent. You cannot speak in this ring until I say that you are PERMITTED to do so. You are MY BEAST, and I OWN you. And until otherwise notified you are to do as I say, when I say it. Are we clear!
Twister nods, then slides out the opposite side of the ring towards the announcer’s table. Three druids close in on him from either side of the ring. HR looks at both sides then slides into the ring, and out the other side again, running full speed down the entrance ramp and out of the ringside area, with Rupert Vaughn leading the druids after him.
Tex: Someone, call security, there’s a mad man on the loose!
We again cut backstage where see Bill Barnhart at the dressing room of Jonathan Porter. Fang invites Bill in and they have a little conversation.
FANG: Where is Iris?
BILL BARNHART: She is in my dressing room. I have our servant, Chris Shipman, giving her a bath and getting her dressed for our match tonight.
FANG: Why are you giving her a bath this close to the match?
BILL BARNHART: We went to have a talk with Goth earlier and when Goth yelled at Iris, she got nervous and scared at him yelling at her that she capped on his office carpet. The smell was so bad it was like a combination of skunk and rotting fish so Goth threw us out of the office. The Janitor is there steam cleaning the carpet but I figured if Iris could take a dump that smelly it wouldn't hurt to give her a bath.
FANG: Are you sure you can trust Chris Shipman to give Iris a bath and get her dressed for your match?
BILL BARNHART: Even Shipman couldn't screw that up. How hard is it to lather up a dog in the bathtub and they dress her up in her pink diamond-studded dog collar? Anyway, I didn't come here to talk about Iris and Chris Shipman.
FANG: What's on your mind Bill?
BILL BARNHART: I came to wish you the best in your Universal Title Qualifying match tonight against Nicholas Brooks. From the line-up I see tonight the likely persons to advance in the Universal Title Qualifying matches would be you and me and Matthew Toddi. By the way...I see you are closing in on my claim with the most victories here in Asylum Wrestling Alliance. I am at 46-41-4 and you are 42-34-4. When do you think you will pass me up?
FANG: It will be soon enough Bill. But I am not here to lay claim to having the most victories in Asylum Wrestling Alliance. Actually I have nothing to prove to anyone any more. I have held every Title Belt here and I have obtained back-to-back Wrestler of the Year honors for 2010 and 2011. I have already proven who and what I am.
BILL BARNHART: Good point Jonathan. Well for sure I am going to see you in the finals for the Universal Title Contendership at the end of the month. I have to go and see how Shipman did with giving Iris a bath and getting her dressed.
Bill stands up and heads for the dressing room door. Fang escorts Bill to the door and they say some parting words. We see Barnhart walk off down the hallway toward his own dressing room.
The camera’s cut to Bill Barnhart’s locker room. There is splashing and some doggy yelps coming out of the room. We see Chris Shipman fighting with Iris who is in a little tub. Water and soap bubbles are flying everywhere.
Shipman: God damnit you mutt. I don’t like you and you don’t like me but you will just relax so we can get this over with or else I’ll get the stun gun again.
Iris seems to remember what Shipman did to her before and relaxes enough that Shipman can finish giving Iris her bath. After a bit of scrubbing Shipman plucks her out with a fancy pink towel with IRIS BARNHART stitched into the fabric.
Shipman: Now let’s see Bill wanted you in your pink collar but I got something better.
Shipman starts rooting through and old dirty gym bag as Iris assumes the position to do some business on the floor.
Shipman: If you do that I am selling you to the first zoophiliac I see. Ah here it is.
Shipman pulls a paper bag out of the gym bag and takes Iris into the bathroom. After a few moments Shipman emerges empty handed. He then grabs a pad of sticky notes out of his gym bag before zipping it up and slinging it over his shoulder. He scribbles onto the notepad and leaves the room placing a note on the door.
The cameraman picks up the backstage activity with Bill Barnhart arriving back to his dressing room. He notices a note on the door from Chris Shipman which reads...
Bill...I have given Iris a bath and she smells as sweet as roses in full bloom. Iris is dressed up and ready for our match. - Chris Shipman
Bill opens the dressing room door and he stops dead in his tracks with a shocked look on his face. The cameraman pans his camera over to the bed where we see Iris lying on the bed dressed in a pink thong and pink bra. Poor Iris has a confused look on her face as Bill walks over and takes in the scene. Realizing that Chris Shipman has done this evil deed to Iris, Bill can only yell out Shipman's name in anger.
BILL BARNHART: Shipman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are gonna pay for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Bill reaches over and starts to remove the bra and thong from Iris. She is whining from shock as Bill removes the disgusting clothing items and then he places her pink diamond-studded collar on her neck. He comforts Iris with a hug and a kiss before they are ready to head out to get to their match with Shipman.
Chris Shipman vs. Bill Barnhart
Stormy: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is one of our Universal Title Qualifying Match!!!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 6’0 and weighing in at 240 pounds!!! Hailing from Oakland, California!!!! Bill Barnhart!!!
TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS by Bachman Turner Overdrive hits the speaker. The TRON crackles to life and we see a close-up shot of Bill Barnhart and Iris his English Bulldog. The TRON then shifts scenes to seversl clips of Bill's wrestling matches where he is either administering his Bulldog or Piledriver to his opponent for the pinfall, or he is using one of his many submission moves to make them tap out. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains leading Iris on her leash. Bill comes out dressed in his trademark wrestling outfit which is the pink outfit with black trim witn ablack heart sewn over his heart. Iris is dressed in her Pink Diamond-Studded Dog Collar. Bill walks confidently along the entrance walkway and under the TRON. As he walks under the TRON, pink and white pyros erupt causing a cascade of pink sparks to spill down on the entrance walkway around Bill and Iris. Bill stops at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp to play the crowd with a huge smile on his face even though he gets mostly boos from the crowd. He then takes off with a quick pace to the ring. When Bill arrives at the ring he hands the leash of Iris to an attendant at ringside climbs the ring steps, walks along the ring apron, and then ducks through the ropes into the ring. Bill walks around the ring to acknowledge all the people in the crowd and he maintains his huge smile all the time although the crowd is booing him for his bad turn. Bill then takes up residence in a corner to await the arrival of his opponent.
Stormy: And his opponent!! Standing in at 6’3 and weighing in at 235 pounds!! Hailing from The Georgian Backwoods!!! The Reverend!!! Chris Shipman!!!
The opening piano to Sweet Dreams begins to play all over the arena as the lights turn to a cloudy red. Once the song kicks in Shipman appears from behind the curtain as the stage has bright red strobe lights going off. He walks to the ring with Synn following close behind. Once he gets in the ring he holds the barbed wire noose above his head before throwing it into a corner. He taunts the crowd a bit as the lights go back to normal and Synn grabs the noose
Tex: Two veterans of the game facing each other in this multi match competition. I look forward to see the first of three qualifiers tonight!! And it will go on until the next PPV as we heard Goth mention it earlier tonight!! I look forward to that big match at the Breakout!!!
Duff: Yeah!!! Oh my goodness!! Bill can’t wait to get his hands on Shipman!! Look at him!!!
Bill enraged over what happened earlier the night with Shipman dressing up his dog in a thong and bra. Bill drops Shipman with a running clothesline, before starting to stomp away at his opponent. Barnhart drops a series of elbows before going down and starts to punch away at the face of Shipman, but Shipman has his arms up and most of the punches are blocked. The referee interferes in the assault as he pushes Barnhart away and warns him to stop at the count of five. Bill pushes the referee aside and wants to attack Shipman again, but Shipman surprises Bill with a drop toe hold that drops Bill hard in the turnbuckles with his face. Shipman gets behind him and claws away at Bill Barnhart’s face with his fingers in his nose and eyes, while putting his other arm around his throat. The referee warns Shipman with a five count, Shipman breaks at the count of four as he grins at the referee.
Tex: I wonder what Goth was thinking, putting a man that is his slave for a month against a member of his own gang. That he would play nice??
Duff: I bet that Goth would come out to the ring and tell him to fall down for Bill
Tex: I hope not!!
Shipman locks Bill in a modified reversed Neckbreaker and drops Bill’s neck across the knee and goes for the cover, but he only gets a two count as Bill gets his shoulder off the canvas. He holds on to his neck as it is clearly hurting him, Shipman grabs him by the head and starts to pound away against the face and chest of Barnhart. Finally the referee grabs the arm of Shipman, causing him to lose his attention of his opponent as the referee warns him for the punches. Just as Shipman turns around, he gets knocked down by a Bill Barnhart clothesline. Barnhart grabs Shipman by the legs and drops his head in a particular low region area as Shipman rolls around in pain.Bill grabs the legs of Shipman as he locks him in a single leg grapevine before shouting at Shipman for the dressing up of his dog. Bill lets go off the leg grapevine and drives his knee in the leg of Shipman before dropping an elbow into the thigh area of the former number one contender of the Universal Tilte.
Duff: LOOK AT BILL GO!!!!
Bill signals for a figure four leg lock to happen when he taunts the fans and then Shipman. He is halfway in the move, when Shipman grabs him by the head and rolls him on his back with a small package. Shipman grabs the bottom rope for leverage as the referee does not see it and goes for the three count and calls for the bell. Shipman rolls out of the ring and laughs at Bill for beating him
Stormy: The winner of this match!!! Chris Shipman!!!
Bill looks on in shock, he then turns his attention to the referee and tells him that Shipman cheated, but the referee tells him that there’s nothing he can do about it
Winner: Chris Shipman 2 points
The camera shows the backstage area, and zooms in on Rupert Vaughn’s face. He is still searching for Twister who escaped him earlier in the night.
Rupert Vaughn: Come out, come out wherever you are! I know you’re here, Victor. I can smell you.
With that being said, Twister jumps out from a corner and grabs Vaughn by the throat. He squeezes with all his might as Vaughn turns a light shade of blue, then to purple.
Then, the cocking of several guns can be heard as the camera pans out and all 6 druids are holding handguns pointed directly at the head of Twister who loosens his grip slightly.
Twister: You realize that I could snap your neck faster than they can pull those triggers. I’ll gladly lose my own life if it means I take yours with me.
Rupert Vaughn: If you kill me now, you’ll never find Laura and Lenox.
Twister: It’s not like you’ve been any help so far with that. It’s been over 7 years!
Twister’s grip tightens as the druids raise their guns again, and Vaughn waves them down.
Rupert Vaughn: I have them. They are here, in Italy. I will bring them to you. Just let me go and get back in your cage.
Twister lets go as Vaughn drops to his knees and writhes for air. But Twister remains still.
Twister: I’m NOT getting back in that cage. I’m nev…
Before he can finish his statement a druid pulls out a tazer and electrifies Twister to the ground. He moves a little bit, but then is tazed to a near comatose state. Rupert Vaughn gets up and motions towards the druids who put chains on Twister, and drag him away as the scene ends.
Alex Young vs. Matthew Toddi
We cut to ringside now to kick the show off as Stormy stands in the ring ready to do her best
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is another qualifying match for the Universal championship, introducing first from Miami, Florida weighing in at 255lbs, he is AAAALEEEEEEEEEEX YOOOOOOOOOOUNG!!!
Duff: Well here we go Tex, another step towards the next challenger for the Universal championship!
Tex: Oh yes we saw some great matches, already here tonight and this one I expect to be another good showing
The talk of Roy Jones starts followed by the music of the Can't be touched. Pyro's blasts across the stage and the Titan Tron when Alex Young comes out at the Can't be Touched part of the song. Alex jumps around as the fans cheer him on as some more Pyro blasts across the stage. Alex walks to the ring while extending his arms to shake hands with the fans and stares at his opponent (when he is in the ring) and slides underneatht he bottom rope. He then jumps up to his feet and runs to the turnbuckle and stares at the fans who cheer him on. Alex then screams at the audience while holding his hands close to his mouth and the fans cheer back at him. When Alex gets off the turnbuckles
Duff: Alex looks ready but he has a hell of a challenger ahead of him
Stormy Canyon: And his opponent from Detroit, Michigan
weighing in at 225lbs, he is MAATTTHEW TOOOOOOOOOOODDI!!!
Isolation by Alter Bridge hits the PA system. Before Toddi walks out you hear the opening lines to the theme.
Duff: Toddi has been clawing his way to the Universal title since he stepped in this place and this might be his chance here tonight to get another shot!
During the opening riff, a series of amazing red and white fireworks come from all directions. Then Matthew Toddi walks through them. He is wearing a black knee-length coat made from ripped leather. He walks down to the ring, rolls in, stands up in the ring and looks at the fans. He then walks to a turnbuckle and climbs up it as the fans boo and try to throw food and drinks at him. He then gets down turns around as he warms up before his match starts.
Duff: Oh I couldn't agree more, hell it's not like Toddi hasn't main evented a PPV in the past for the Universal title but he hasn't walked away with the gold yet, this might be his chance back towards that gold
Tex: and here we go.....
The two circle each other for a moment before locking up, the crowd fairly into it as they struggle for power, Alex young gets the advantage kicking Toddi in the gut and then grabbing him in a quick side headlock, his opponent tries to push him away but Alex kept it locked in, Toddi walks backwards still locked up until his back presses up against the ropes, he then bounces off them pushing Alex forward BUT again Alex won't let go of the headlock and instead uses the momentum in his favour, flipping Toddi over and onto his back, keeping the head locked Alex keeps strong control of this early lead, the crowd popping for the crash to the canvas of Toddi's back. Toddi after a few moments of recovery begins to get off his back, to his knees then to his feet, elbowing Alex Young in the gut not once, not twice but a third time to get the connection broken, with himself free of the headlock Toddi runs to the far ropes, bouncing back with more momentum he clotheslines down Alex who gets right back up to get knocked right back down with one more clothesline, Alex though in a testament to his will to compete gets right back to his feet only to get drop kicked square in the jaw, Toddi taunts off to the crowd who boo the cocky wrestler who turns back around to see Alex still getting back up to his feet even if he is a little worse for ware, Toddi goes over to Alex and jumps onto his back with a sleeper hold, struggling for a moment as Toddi begins to give Alex some of his own medicine by choking him, Toddi begins to ware down the opponent who has a last second counter by just dropping down hard onto his back crushing Toddi behind him, Toddi lets go of the hold and the two are on the floor in pain as the referee begins to count ONE...... TWO......... THREE....... as the two begin to get on all fours.... FOUR..... FIVE.... as they now get to their knees at SIX.... then both to their feet just before the seven count is hit, the two run at one another, going at this match furiously and at full force as they both WANT to win this they run with the same idea however hitting one another with a big clothesline, they drop with an arm over one another, referee looks confused for a moment but then drops for the first cover of the match ONE...... TWO.... and both men kick out!
The crowd is really heating up for this one as the two start getting back to their feet, Alex gets up first and walks over to Toddi he grabs him by the head and then Irish whips but that gets countered sending Alex into the corner, Toddi runs at his opponent and connects with a powerful clothesline, Alex hangs from the top rope almost as he stands their weak, Toddi climbs to the top rope and begins to let right hand after right hand down into Alex’s forehead, Toddi raises his hands to which the crowd heavily boo Toddi who is caught out by surprise by Alex who grabs Toddi drops him down face first into the top turnbuckle, Toddi stumbles around from that turnbuckle shot and Alex is there waiting for him with a big time SPINEBUSTER! The crowd bursts into cheers as Alex goes for a cover..... ONE....... TWOOOOO..... THR.... NO!
Tex: Man that was close, I thought Alex somehow picked up the win there
Alex stands up slightly frustrated but keeps his cool pulling Toddi to his feet when suddenly Toddi who come out of no where kicking Alex in the guy and then crashing Alex down head first with a huge DDT!!! ONE...... TWO......... THRE.... NO! Another kick out
Duff: What an amazing display of just actual wrestling from these two
Tex: Yeah it is kind of refreshing to see no screw jobs, low blows, interference, weapons.... these guys are bringing it old school
The two men slowly but surely begin to get to their feet and begin slugging right hands back and forth, Alex seems to get the upper hand but then Toddi ducks a right hand from Alex and nearly hits the referee, the referee covers his face in fear, Alex apologises and turns around and Toddi rakes the eyes of Alex, the referee didn't really get to see that but he did see the huge MKO!!! Toddi crashes Alex right down to the canvas!
Duff: NO! You gotta be kidding me
Tex: MKO!! That’s it folks
Toddi covers Alex and the referee counts it down ONE...... TWOOOO..... THREEEEE!!!!
Stormy Canyon: And here is your winner, by pinfall, MAATTTHEW TOOOOOOOOOOODDI!!!
Tex: I knew he had it all along!
Toddi raises his arms in the air before rolling out of the ring as the crowd chants “asshole!” at Toddi as Alex looks up in shock
Duff: I can't believe this... they both gave a great match, straight up and then Toddi had to steal it like that....
Tex: He did what he had to do to win, he isn't here to make friends, he is here to win championships
We cut to a commercial break after one last shot on Toddi raising his arms at the top of the stage
Winner: Matthew Toddi 2 points
The Italian fans are going crazy with anticipation for the AWA action, however they will have to wait a bit longer as “A Lesson In Violence” by Exodus blasts over the PA system and a man who we haven’t seen in over a month steps through the curtain dressed in a black Sonisphere UK T-Shirt, Blue Jeans and black boots.
Texx: Steve Ramone? Where the hell has he been?!
Steve has a microphone in his hands as he makes his way down to the ringside area, he slides into the ring and after juggling the microphone in his hands a couple of times the music stops and he puts the microphone to his mouth.
SR: Be honest folks, how many of you have missed my handsome face?
The show opens up as Goth comes out to the ring with Sapphira, the owner of the AWA is clearly not fully recovered from his match with Matthew Toddi last week. He stares at the crowd, who is booing him as he grins from ear to ear
