BULLDOG BILL: This? This large bag on my shoulders? This is a 375 pound bag of cow manure. Why am I carrying this 375 pound bag of cow manure. What's the purpose? To show that I can easily carry 375 pounds of crap on my shoulders. You see, this week Big Bad Casey has been bragging that he is so big and heavy that I will not be able to beat him down and carry him over to the gallows to hang him on the noose for the win. Well look at me right now? Am I, or am I not, able to carry a 375 pound bag of manure on my shoulders? Of course I can. And this Sunday evening at the Pay-per-View the world will watch as I carry another 375 pound bag of manure on my shoulder...that bag of manure being Big Bad Casey...and taking him to the gallows to hang him on the noose for the win.
Bill Barnhart ends his comments and he takes off running up and down the hallway outside the dressing rooms to show he can easily lift, and carry 375 pounds of anything.
Vs.
The first match is a best two out three falls triple threat match!! The first man to win two falls will be declared the winner of the match!
Introducing first, from Las Vegas, Nevada...weighing in at 175 lbs... Jason 'The Sensation' Stevens!!
And from Detroit Michigan...weighing in at 225 lbs...Matthew Toddi!!
'Speak Your Mind' hits the speakers as Mtthew Toddi walks out looks at the fans who are booing him and then he raises his hood over his head and places arms out to sides as red and white spark pyro comes out from above and the sides of him! He then walks and slides into the ring, takes another look at the fans raises his arms with one hand index finger and thumb up and other hand just index.
And finally, from Detroit, Michigan...weighing in at 260 lbs...Madroxcide!!
The lights dim as Violent J's Superstar begins to play. A shower of red sparked pyro begins to rain down the ramp. Out steps Madroxcide wearing his Black leather pants, grey shades and Madroxcide logoed Hockey Pullover. The sparks cover him as he walks down the ramp and up into the ring. He then jumps on to turn buckle to remove his hockey pullover. He balls up the shirt and throws it into the crowd. He then hops down and waits for the match to begin.
The three men stand in a circle in the ring, each looking left and right at their opponents, waiting to see who makes the first move. After taking a few cautious steps toward his opponents, it is Jason Stevens who land some hard punches on Matthew Toddi. Toddi fights back with punches of his own as Madroxcide takes a step back and allows the two rivals to go at it. As Toddi and Stevens exchange fists, Madroxcide steps in and clubs Toddi with a forearm shot to the back, causing the youngster to drop to one knee. Madroxcide then runs at Stevens and levels him with a lariat. He turns back to Toddi and connects with a big boot to the face.
DUFF: Good work by Madroxide there! He waited for his opportunity, then asserted his power in this match.
With both men down, Madroxcide plays to the crowd as boos rain down on him. This allows Jason Stevens to get up and wait for Madroxcide to turn around. When he does, he is met with a kick to the midsection, followed by a DDT from Stevens. As this is going on, Toddi is back to his feet and runs at Stevens, hitting a bulldog on him.
TEX: It's non-stop action with these guys tonight!
DUFF: That's the thing about triple threat matches, you can't take your eyes off the third man!
Matthew Toddi props Stevens up against the turnbuckle and lifts Madroxcide to his feet. He attempts to Irish whip the big man onto Stevens, but Madroxcide reverses the attempt and whips Toddi at full force into Jason. With both men propped against the turnbuckle, Madroxcide runs at them with a head of steam and hits a huge running splash. Madroxcide takes a step back as both of his opponents are stunned. Toddi drops to the mat as Stevens holds himself up on the ropes before being met with a clothesline from Madroxcide, sending him crashing over the ropes and to the outside. Madroxcide talks some trash to Stevens from inside the ring and turns around just in time to get hit with a thunderous superkick from Matthew Toddi. Toddi jumps up and down with excitement due to the impact of the kick landing right on target. Overcome with adrenaline, Toddi hurries to the top turnbuckle and dives off, connecting with a frog splash on Madroxcide. He hooks the leg as the referee begins the count.
TEX: Here comes the first fall!
1....2....
DUFF: UH-UH!!
Madroxcide lifts a shoulder just in time to kick out. Toddi looks incensed, accusing the referee of a slow count as Madroxcide shakes off the cobwebs. Jason Stevens slides back into the ring and joins the match, stomping down on a fallen Madroxide. Toddi steps in and throws a punch at Stevens, but Jason blocks it and counters with one of his own. He lands a second punch, followed by a headbutt. With Toddi reeling, Jason lands some hard knife edge chops across his chest. Madroxcide creeps up behind Stevens, spins him around and land some chops of his own. Soon Toddi joins in and both men take turns landing knife edge chops on Jason Stevens, making his chest turn a bright red. Together, Madroxcide and Toddi set Stevens up for a brainbuster. Both men drape an arm around his neck, grab his tights and they execute a doubleteam brainbuster on Stevens.
DUFF: Good teamwork by Madroxcide and Matthew Toddi there! One of these two men will win it!
TEX: Hold on a minute. Look at this!
Matthew Toddi and Madroxcide turn to each other and begin exchanging fists between them as Stevens is down. Madroxcide gains the upper hand by hitting a knee to Toddi's midsection. He scoops Toddi up and body slams him to the mat. He lands a big leg drop and covers, but Toddi kicks out after only a one count. Madroxcide then sets Toddi up for a powerbomb, but Toddi grabs hold of Madroxcide's legs and rolls him up into a small package...
1....2....
Before the referee can slap the mat a third time, Jason Stevens interrupts the count by kicking Toddi in the back. All three men are exhausted now as Stevens continues to land kicks on Toddi before running off the ropes and landing an elbow drop on Madroxcide. The crowd is getting into it now as Stevens gains the upper hand in a closely contested matchup. He lifts Madroxcide to his feet and runs him face first into the turnbuckle. Stevens plants Madroxcide with a facebuster then climbs the turnbuckle.
Oh we haven't seen this in a while! Iiiiiincoming!
Jason Stevens flies off the top and lands the Sensational Star Press. He jumps to his feet and looks down at Madroxcide, talking trash.
DUFF: What's he doing? Pin him!
TEX: Look out!
From nowhere, Toddi nails Stevens with a superkick and goes over to cover Madroxcide.
1....2....3!!!!
Matthew Toddi takes the first fall, capitalizing on a mistake by Jason Stevens who had Madroxcide beat!
The referee seperates the three men and gives them a minute to compose themselves before restarting the match. This time, Stevens and Madroxcide double team on Toddi, who is ahead in this best of 3 falls. Stevens connects with a kick to Toddi's lower back and Madroxcide follows with a clothesline. Madroxcide holds Toddi up as Stevens slaps his nemesis across the face. Madroxcide hits a sidewalk slam on Toddi as Stevens once again climbs the turnbuckle. As Stevens is calling for another Sensational Star Press, Madroxcide reaches out and pushes him off, sending him crashing hard into the guardrails. Seeing Toddi motionless in the ring, Madroxcide opts to leave him and follow Jason Stevens to the outside to inflict more damage. He gets to the outside and rams Jason's head into the guardrail repeatedly. He then removes the padding from the floor and sets Jason up for a powerbomb on the concrete, but Stevens flips him over and Madroxcide crashes hard on the cement. Exhausted, Stevens drops beside Madroxcide on the floor. While this is going on, the referee's count has reached seven and Toddi is beginning to stir in the ring, while the two men outside are both slowly getting up. Hearing the referee count eight, Stevens makes a run for the ring, but Madroxcide, not hearing the count, grabs his tights and pulls him back to the ground. Toddi has gotten to his feet as the referee counts the nine and ten, ending the match in a countout. Toddi stands surprised in the ring as an angry Jason Stevens assaults Madroxcide on the outside with kicks and insults.
STORMY CANYON: Here is your winner, with two successive falls....MATTHEW TODDI!!!
Winner:
Vs.
The sound of a siren can be heard as an ambulance is driven out from behind the backstage area and parked on the side of the stage area.
Tex: Well that means the Ambulance Match between the Blood Brothers is coming up next.
Duff: It’s been a long time since I’ve witnessed one of these and I for one have had a watering mouth all week for this!
Tex: Chaos has vowed to stick his brother in the back of that ambulance, just like he did to Jay Gold back in the GWA. How ironic that Krusher once tagged with Gold in the past…
Duff: Odd, yes. But can we please stop talking about that goody little two shoes please?
Tex: He aided the Family for a while. Or did you forget that already?
Duff: Oh yeah… Then by all means, let’s keep mentioning him. At least we’ll raise some eyebrows here at the announce desk for once, being that YOU bore everybody!
Tex: I have a better idea Tex. Let’s get going into what WILL be a very interesting encounter between these two blood brothers.
The lights in the arena go dark and suddenly AC/DC’s "You Shook Me All Night Long" hits over the PA and the lights from the stage burst into life as the lyrics quickly build to the chorus as Chaos makes his way out onto the stage. He raises his hands into the air as a barrage of pyro shoots upwards from the stage sending the crowd into a frenzy as Stormy Canyon’s sultry voice takes to the microphone as usual.
Stormy: The following contest is an Ambulance Match where the winner must shove their opponent into the back of the ambulance and close the door! Introducing first, coming to the ring, from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at 275 pounds…he is the Monster and Wrestling Machine…CHAAAOOOOOS!!!
Chaos continues to walk down to the ring and up the stairs, climbs into the ring and jumps to the second rope, raising his hands once more as another set of pyro shoots down from the arena roof behind Chaos. He then jumps down as the music fades and he is ready to get down to business against his brother… Chaos waits for his brother’s music to play but it takes a few moments for it to do so. As soon as “ Breakdown” by Breaking Benjamin begins to play though, Chaos nods his head and yells for his brother to come on out!
Tex: That says it all right there…
A huge "wall of fire" pyro blasts up from center stage. The arena lights begin to glow red and the flames die down. The fans in the arena give a mixed reaction, some booing while others cheer as The Psycho known as Krusher appears from the entrance. He walks down to ring with a purpose as once again we hear Stormy.
Stormy: And his opponent, also from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at 237 pounds…KRRRRRRUSHERRRRRR!!!
When Krusher gets half way down the ramp, he runs down the rest of it and then slides into ring under the bottom rope. He walks over to the side of the ring, grabs the top rope and lets his anger out in a loud scream while pyro explodes from all four ring posts at the same time. The lights return back to normal and the music starts to fade out as Krusher gets pumped up for his match, his eyes locking with his brother’s as both actually wait for the ring bell so they can tear into one another legally.
Tex: There’s a good deal of animosity here and this match is years in the making. This one should be a classic, but at least we aren’t seeing a vicious assault pre-match from either side.
Duff: Too bad. It would have made it more interesting!
The bell rings and the two brothers size one another up.
Tex: It should take a while to find a winner in this one. They know each other SO WELL!
Duff: Meh. I’ll be the judge of that.
The two brothers circle one another before Krusher goes for the first hit. He draws first blood against Chaos as he drives his knee right into Chaos’s gut. Chaos takes the brunt of the move of attack from his brother but sucks it up and delivers a knee of his own in retaliation. Both brothers now tie up in the center of the ring, neither of them gaining an advantage for a bit until Chaos’s small bit of extra strength is enough for him to begin to take command in the early stage of this match.
Duff: This match will take a while if they keep going with baby steps such as this! If Krusher was smart, he would end this quick by delivering a powerful impactful move and then just shove Chaos in the back of that ambulance, just like he deserves!
Tex: That is a plan, but we’ll call that the coward’s plan. These two have shown one thing over the past several weeks…they aren’t cowards.
Duff: Are you kidding me?! Chaos in the past has been nothing BUT a coward! True it’s different this time around, but he still is one!
Tex: Let’s not mind your comments and instead focus on what’s going on in front of us. Chaos looks like…yes, he’s applying a rear chin lock to Krusher, trying to wear him down bright and early in this.
It’s applied but the referee reminds Chaos that this isn’t a match that can be won by submission. Chaos nods but keeps the pressure on. Krusher however slowly begins his way out of the chin lock and eventually breaks it. He then drives Chaos to the mat with a simple tackle. He then begins to punch the bigger Chaos again and again until the referee tries to pull Krusher away. Krusher sneers, now reminding the referee that all he has to do is just stay back. Krusher then returns his full attention to Chaos. He brings Chaos up to his feet and whips him across the ring. Chaos can’t stop his momentum and slams into the corner, his back making contact with the turnbuckle.
Tex: Usage of that bad back again, and who would know more about Chaos’s chronic back problems than his own brother? Nobody!
Duff: Yup! It’s like I said. As long as he does this and cuts Chaos down to size, Krusher will win this! Justice will be served!
Chaos comes away from the corner and glares at his brother. Chaos goes to deliver a boot to Krusher’s gut, but Krusher’s a bit quicker than him and is able to clothesline Chaos almost out of his shoes. Krusher sees the first opportunity of the match and drags Chaos to the ring apron. Krusher then drops down and yanks Chaos’s torso from the ring, allowing it to pancake the ringside floor mats. The crowd ohs and begins to boo as Krusher gets a bit of a diabolical look on his facial features.
Duff: He’s going to end this thing nice and quick! Chaos will be the one locked into the ambulance this time around!
Krusher looks down at his brother but not for very long before he brings him up to his feet. He then uncorks Chaos right into the crowd barrier. Chaos sinks to his knees again as the crowd begins to will The Monster on. Chaos gets back up, feeding off the crowd a bit as Krusher just shakes his head. This momentary lapse by Krusher leads to Chaos throwing himself right at his brother. The two both land at the bottom of the entrance ramp. Chaos mounts his brother and tries to knock him out with a few punches to the forehead. Krusher does seem to be getting a bit of a glazed over look so Chaos stands up, scoops up Krusher and executes a pump handle slam, right on the steel of the entrance ramp! For the first time in the match a small trickle of blood can be seen coming from Krusher’s forehead and the crowd cheers Krusher’s misfortune.
Duff: Listen to these people! Cheering a man bleeding…pathetic!
Tex: You’d be doing the same thing Duff. Anyways, Chaos has now assumed control of this match and they’re both inching ever so closer to that ambulance…
Chaos snaps Krusher up and pulls him halfway up the entrance ramp. It’s here that he stops and suddenly puts Krusher into the air, seemingly looking to connect with a gutwrench powerbomb, but Krusher powers his way out of it and gets to behind Chaos. Krusher shoves Chaos off the stage, right down to the cold floor. The crowd looks worried for Chaos as Chaos isn’t moving. Krusher himself hops down and looks at Chaos. He kicks him like he’s a rotten piece of meat and then turns him over. Krusher smiles as Chaos’s eyes are moving, even though blood is pouring down the face of The Monster Chaos.
Tex: How Chaos is still alive after that fall is a true testament to how much of a fighter he is!
Duff: Too bad he’s fighting a losing battle!
Krusher yells out that he’s going to finish this right here and right now. He reaches down to grab his brother’s legs to drag him towards the ambulance, but Chaos suddenly reaches up with his legs, gets them wrapped around Krusher’s neck and pulls him down right alongside him!
Tex: And Krusher too is now down! We’re back to square one…just that both of them are now bleeding when they weren’t before.
Duff: No…really? I didn’t notice. Come on Krusher! Get up and finish off the job!
Both brothers struggle to get to their feet, but Krusher gets more leverage first. Krusher suddenly shows no remorse or hold-back when he flings Chaos right at the ambulance that’s not all that many feet away. Chaos puts on the brakes and avoids hitting the side of the parked vehicle. Krusher simply shakes his head and goes to spear Chaos into the ambulance, but Chaos dodges out of the way and Krusher’s head fully impacts the side of the ambulance, putting a small dent into the side!
Tex: Holy Moly!!!! Krusher has got to be done for after that.
Chaos stalks his brother but Krusher gets up under his own power. He actually heads for the front of the ambulance and opens up the passenger door. Chaos waits behind Krusher, waiting to strike like a viper. After Krusher has opened the door, Chaos strikes as he comes from behind and hooks up Krusher for a belly-to-belly suplex. Chaos flips Krusher up and Krusher’s back smacks against the side of the ambulance. Chaos yells out as the crowd follows suit, routing The Monster Chaos on to put his brother away. Chaos moves to the back of the ambulance and opens up the back doors. What Chaos doesn’t see is that Krusher is already getting up and climbing up onto the front hood of the ambulance, and then right up the windshield. It’s not until Krusher reaches the top of the ambulance that Chaos realizes where Krusher is. Chaos stands on the bumper of the ambulance and waits to see what Krusher will do. Krusher slides down the back side of the ambulance and ends up face to face with his brother! The two here trade blows until finally Krusher is able to spear Chaos inside of the ambulance!!! A camera quickly makes its way over there so it can view the happenings inside the ambulance. Krusher lifts up Chaos and goes to hit the Breakdown but is unable to completely lift Chaos up into the air. Chaos grabs Krusher by the neck and hits a sit-down neckbreaker. Before Krusher can get any sort of chance to recover, he racks up Krusher and suddenly delivers a powerful, bone crushing, Annihilator Slam right inside the ambulance! The ambulance shakes as Chaos looks down at his brother for a few moments before backing away, dropping down out of the ambulance and slamming the door shut. The bell at the ringside area rings as Stormy’s voice cuts through the cheers from the crowd and Chaos’s music of course.
Stormy: Here is your winner of the match…CHAAAAOOOOOOOOOOS!!!
Duff: Krusher should have had this one…
Tex: Yet Chaos walks away with it and he has once again earned another victim in an Ambulance Match.
Chaos reopens the ambulance door and sees that Krusher is actually beginning to recover inside, amazingly.
Tex: Hold on, he might not be done with his brother yet!
Duff: This could be about that deal they made with one another Tex! Since Chaos won, Krusher has to do whatever Chaos tells him to do for the next month. He’s probably cashing in on that already…like I said, Chaos is nothing but a COWARD!
Tex: He’s not. A deal is a deal. End of story.
Inside the ambulance Chaos tells Krusher out loud to raise his hand and announce him as winner of the Ambulance Match that they just had. Krusher drops his head a bit, but then goes through with it.
Krusher: Here is your winner of the Ambulance Match…CHAOS!
Chaos seems satisfied enough and jumps back out of the ambulance, heading backstage as Krusher takes his time to recover. EMT’s come out from backstage and attempt to work on him, but Krusher tells them to go away as the scene in the arena fades…
Winner:
The scene switches to the back where we see Big Bad Casey. He is seen walking around the backstage area getting ready for his Hang ‘em High match with Bulldog Bill Barnhart. He sees the camera and gives a sinister looking smirk.
Casey: Hey Bill, I hope your ready to lose. Just like our prior encounter, you had been undefeated in your hometown of Oakland, and what happened. I beat you. Same thing will happen here in the Hang ‘em High match. You will lose once again to me. I will prove that you are a washed up has-been when I defeat you once again.
Casey then decides to take a drink of Gatorade. After a moment, when he has quenched his thirst, he continues.
Casey: Bill, I will make sure that you are well hung, and not in the sexual connotation that your attractive wife, Lupe, had started to refer before you stopped her. You will be the one hanging from the noose after I drag your old carcass over to the gallows after beating the holy hell out of you, and hang you myself. After I defeat you, I will be 2-1 against the grizzled Hall of Famer known as Bill Barnhart, and that will also be his record in Hang ‘em High matches after our said match.
Then the scene goes into airing Big Bad Casey’s 3 promos he did for Bill Barnhart. Once the 3rd one airs, the scene changes, while Casey walks towards the ring.
Vs.
Stormy Canyon: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is our Hang ‘em High Match!! The order to win this match is to hang your opponent!! The first wrestler to come down the aisle stands in at 6’0 and weighs in at 240 pounds!! Hailing from Oakland, California!!! The Bulldog Bill Barnhart!!!
DON'T WORRY...BE HAPPY by Bobby McFerrin hits the speakers. 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. The spotlights focus on the backstage curtains and we see Bulldog Bill Barnhart step through the curtains leading Iris on her leash (Iris is not always present at Bill's matches though). Bill comes out dressed in one of his trademark wrestling outfits (either the pink outfit with black trim witn ablack heart sewn over his heart...or the black outfit with pink trimp with a pink heart swen over si heart). Iris is dressed in her Pink Diamont-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 if she is accompanying him). Bill stops at the landing at the top of the entrance ramp to play the crowd with a huge smile on his face. 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. Bill then takes up residence in a corner to await the arrival of his opponent.
Stormy Canyon: And his opponent!! Standing in at 7’1 and weighing in at 375 pounds!! Hailing from Nashua, New Hampshire!! Big Bad Casey!!!
Casey comes down with his friend John (who does the Shane O Mac dancing stuff on the top of the ramp) and his wife Laura, and we are walking down together holding hands.
Casey gets in the ring and Bill charges in on the big giant, ducking a right blow from the giant and kicks him in the back of his knee. This causes Casey to get to his knee as Barnhart grabs the leg of the knee that he kicked from behind and lifts it up in the air and slams it down on the canvas, this causing Casey to scream in pain as he holds on to his knee in agony.
Tex Martin: I wonder how Bill is going to hang this monster, but if he is going to work on the knees then he may have a chance.
Duff Travers: We got ropes everywhere, just get this goof out of the ring and put a rope around this guy’s ugly neck and squeeze!!!
Bill slides out of the ring and grabs a steel chair from underneath the ring, he slides back in the ring and aims the chair towards Casey and blasts him straight in the face as the big man turns around. Casey staggers backwards. Bill charges in on Casey and swings the chair towards Casey one more time. But this time it is the big man that blocks it with a big kick to the chair, that causes the chair to crash into the face. Casey grabs the chair and plants it in the middle of the ring and grabs Bill Barnhart before executing a Side Walk Slam with Bill coming down on the chair. Casey grabs Bill by the neck and throws him over the top rope to the outside as Casey climbs over the top rope and jumps to the outside.
Tex Martin: Let’s see what Casey is willing to do to Bill Barnhart in this match to win it!!!
Casey grabs Bill by the throat and lifts him up as he is about to deliver a choke slam on the announce table. But Bill manages to get his feet on the announce table and uses both hands to blast on the arm that holds on to the midsection and then surprise Casey by jumping off the table and in the air grabbing him by the head and delivering a big time DDT on the announce table that crumbles to the weight of both men.
Duff Travers: Good God!!!!
Bill slowly starts to move around as he is the one that has the least pain after that move and grabs a rope and is about to wrap it around the neck of Case as he grabs him by the arms and lifts him up to his feet. Bill sets Casey up against the steel ring post and then runs towards him with a running clothesline, but Casey surprises him by grabbing him by the throat and delivers a big time choke slam that sends Bill to the concrete floor. Casey grabs the rope and puts it around the throat of Bill Barnhart and throws the rope over the top rope and pulls on it. Causing Bill to be hanging on the rope as the referee calls for the bell.
Stormy Canyon: The winner of this match!! Big Bad Casey!!!
Casey stares at Bill who is trying to get loose as he walks off as the fans are cheering him on.
Winner:
Vs.
The camera cuts to the center of the ring where Stormy Canyon stands ready to announce the next match.
Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a match for the AWA International Championship! Introducing first, the challenger! Hailing from Dallas, Texas...standing 6'4” and weighing in at 245 pounds...ERIC CORRAYO!
The opening guitar rift to “Knee Deep” by CKY egos into the arena. The fans jump to their feet cheering loud the “Cor-Ray-Yo” chants begin as the red smoke billows from the entrance way. As the music builds up Eric Corrayo steps from the smoke and looks out to the crowd of cheering fans. He smirks and begins to strut down the ramp, he walks up the steps and into the ring. He walks around the ring taking in the energy of the crowd before he tosses his glasses to the time keeper and stands in his corner.
Tex: Duff, Corrayo's had a helluva run since making his official return to the AWA after shedding the alias of Mr. X. He hasn't missed a beat.
Duff: Yeah, yeah, he's great and all that, but Hank's had that International title since Highway to Hell! No one's taken it from him yet, and Eric Corrayo's not gonna be the first!
Tex: I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Stormy: And his opponent! From Ellis, New York, standing 6'6” and weighing 248 pounds...he is the reigning AWA International Champion...HANK HHHEEEENNNRRYY!!!
Hank Henry comes out wearing a cowboy hat with his limping manager Chaplin Graves, they discuss the pro and cons of the upcoming match and Chaplin plays to the crowd as they make their way to the ring.
Duff: Hank's been kicking ass and taking names ever since he won that belt! I can't wait to see what he does to Corrayo!
Tex: Duff, just one time, can't you just sit back, relax and call a simple match?
Duff: As if you don't already know the answer.
The crowd begins to buzz as Stormy Canyon exits the ring to a chorus of cat calls. Hank gives the International title belt to the referee, who passes it to the time keeper on the outside of the ring. Returning to his table, the time keeper rings the bell and the match is under way! Eric Corrayo launches himself out of the corner, rushing across the ring and immediately dropping the champion with a clothesline! He quickly jumps on top of Hank in the mount position, pummeling him with right hands as the crowd cheers him on! Hank wriggles on writhes on the mat as he tries to cover himself, reaching out for the ropes but finding them just beyond his reach. Finally his writhing and twisting causes Corrayo to miss, his fist landing on the mat just to the side of Hank's head. Hank reacts quickly, grabbing Corrayo's arm with his hands and quickly spinning around and throwing his leg over Eric's head, locking the challenger in an arm bar! Eric shouts in pain as the referee hits the mat to watch for a submission, twisting and kicking his legs wildly as he tries to get away. Somehow he finds his foot on the bottom rope and referee Richard Head quickly moves in to break the hold.
Duff: Ha ha! Got a little big for his britches there, didn't he?! Ha ha ha!
Tex: Corrayo wasted no time going on the offensive, but some nice technical wrestling from Hank turns the tables! Wow...I can't believe I just said “Hank” and “technical” in the same sentence.
Duff: You show some respect!
Inside the ring, the two men have gotten back to their feet. The pace is slightly slower as the two circle the ring, sizing each other up. The noise from the crowd grows louder, and chants of Corrayo's name begin again. The two lock up in the center of the ring, and immediately Hank takes control, trapping Corrayo in a side headlock. He clamps down hard and the Ego Killer falls to one knee. Hank laughs, shaking his head and saying “no” as he clamps down even harder and drags Corrayo across the ring. He gets a running start of a few steps, looking to drop the challenger with a bulldog, but Eric is able to shove him off at the last second. Hank bounces off the ropes and rushes Corrayo, ducking a clothesline and quickly turning around, countering with a kick to Eric's gut and planting him on the mat with a DDT! A loud “oh!” resonates through the crowd as Eric lies motionless on the mat. Hank gets to his feet, grabbing Corrayo's head and hauling him up. He whips the challenger into the corner and Eric collides with the turnbuckle with a loud thud. Hank takes his time getting to the corner, holding his palms out and looking at Corrayo between his hands, pantomiming sizing up a target before driving his elbow into Eric's forehead. Eric starts to stumble forward, but Hank stops him and pushes him back into the corner, clocking him with another elbow strike, and another! Hank steps back and Eric stumbles out of the corner, right into Hank's arms as the champion takes him down with a swinging neck breaker! Hank rolls Corrayo onto his back and goes for the pin! ONE...TWO...Eric gets his shoulder of the mat. Hank gets to his feet slowly and circles Corrayo's prone form, but is taken by surprise when the Ego Killer spins around on his back and kicks hard, taking Hank's legs out from under him and planting him flat on his back as the crowd roars! As Hank gets back up, Corrayo gets to his feet with a kip-up, walking right into a vicious right hand from the champion! Eric staggers back and Hank goes back on the offensive, and the two are standing toe-to-toe trading right hands! Eric gets the upper hand, blocking a punch and clobbering Hank with a headbutt! As Hank stumbles back toward the ropes the Ego Killer rushes forward and connects with a clothesline that sends both men over the top rope and to the arena floor as the crowd cheers wildly!
Duff: Ha ha! Eric really screwed up there! This is Hank's yard! He can play whatever games he wants!
Tex: Yeah, but what good will it do him if he gets counted out?
Duff: You over-analyzing son of a...
Tex: HEY! Corrayo's back on his feet!
Outside the ring, Eric Corrayo is indeed the first one up, and he wastes no time taking advantage of being out of the ring. He reaches under the ring, pulling out a steel chair as referee Head begins the count.
Tex: Somebody's gonna have to quit screwing around and get back in the ring before they get counted out!
Duff: Let 'em fight! If Corrayo's too stupid to get his ass back in the ring, let him get a double count out! Hank will still have the belt!
Chants of Corrayo's name fill the arena as the Ego Killer circles Hank's prone body. He turns his back to the champion and raises his fists in the air, playing to the crowd and soaking up the cheers and chants. On the floor, Hank is beginning to stir, reaching into his tights and pulling out something small and shiny. Corrayo turns his attention back to Hank Henry, reaching down and grabbing Hank's hair. Without warning, Hank strikes and Corrayo screams in pain, staggering back and holding his leg as he falls to the arena floor, his eyes growing wide as he sees the fork sticking out of his left calf!
Duff: Ha ha! Can I call 'em or what!?
Tex: They're running out of time! Someone's got to get in the ring!
Hank reaches up and grabs the ring apron, using it to pull himself up and crawl into the ring.
Duff: It's over! Hank's got it won!
With a loud grunt of effort, Corrayo rolls into the ring, beating the ref's count. Hank stands on the opposite side of the ring, shaking his head and stomping his foot in anger. He can't believe it! The crowd is chanting louder than ever as Eric Corrayo lies on his back, panting heavily and trying to gain his bearings. Hank doesn't give him the chance, rushing over and grabbing his leg, dragging him to the center of the ring. Putting all of his weight on Corrayo's left leg, Hank raises his legs in the air like a hand stand, quickly dropping down and driving his knees right into Corrayo's left calf! The challenger shouts in pain, trying to crawl away, but he can't break Hank's grip as the champion raises up and drops his knees onto the wound again! Hank finally stands and steps back and Eric rolls away, holding his leg in pain. Hank laughs as the boos from the crowd fill the arena, reaching down to haul Eric up. The Ego Killer surprises the champion, though, doubling him over with a vicious low blow! The crowd cheers wildly, fueling Corrayo on as he jumps to his feet, rocking Hank with a series of right hands before whipping him hard into the turnbuckle. Eric rushes the corner, crushing Hank with a knee to the gut! He doesn't slow down, spinning Hank around and hoisting him up, placing him on the top rope. Eric climbs up the ropes, wrapping his arms around Hank's head and sending them both off the top rope and planting Hank with a reverse DDT! Quickly rolling over, Corrayo goes for the pin! ONE...TWO...TH...Hank gets the shoulder up! The cheers from the crowd are deafening as Eric gets to his feet, stomping Hank hard for good measure before hauling him to his feet by his hair. He doubles Hank over and wraps his arm around the champ's head, raising a fist in the air before hoisting him up and dropping him hard with a Cradle DDT! Holding the move, he tries for the pin! ONE...TWO...THR...Hank kicks out! Both men lie on the mat, exhausted and breathing heavily. Finally Corrayo begins to stir, dragging Hank to his feet once again. He rocks the champion with a forearm, grabbing his arm and whipping him into the ropes. Hank reverses it, though, spinning around behind Corrayo and taking him down with a German Suplex! Rolling Eric onto his back, Hank goes for the pin! ONE...TWO...T...KICK OUT! Hank jumps to his feet, finding a second wind and hauling Corrayo back up. Hank pummels him with a short arm clothesline, but doesn't let him stay down, picking him right back up and whipping him hard into the corner. Hank rushes in and rocks the challenger with an elbow, smiling as he rears back and lands another! And another! Corrayo is out on his feet now, and Hank takes full advantage, quickly grabbing his legs and tangling them in the ropes so that Corrayo is spread-eagle in the turnbuckle!
Duff: Yes! Yes! Here it comes! Care Bear Stare!
The crowd buzzes with loud anticipation as Hank moves to the opposite corner, taking off at a full run toward Corrayo and nailing him with the Care Bear Stare! Corrayo screams in pain, falling out of the ropes flat on his face as he holds his jewels! The crowd boos and cheers wildly as Hank grabs Corrayo, picking him up and planting him with the Proletariat Lariat and the crowd goes nuts! Holding the bridge, Hank goes for the win! ONE...TWO...THRE...NO!!! Corrayo kicks Hank off of him, barely beating the count!
Duff: Son of a bitch!
Tex: Kick out! Kick out! Eric Corrayo just kicked out of Hank's finisher!
Duff: I know! I was watching!
Tex: No matter how this ends up, no one can say the winner didn't deserve it!
As Eric lies on the canvas, Hank is absolutely furious, stomping around the ring and yelling obscenities at referee Richard Head. Referee Head just stands there, staking his head and telling Hank there was nothing wrong with the count. Hank gets in the referee's face and now the two of them are yelling back and forth. Chaplin is livid on the outside of the ring, yelling at Hank to get his head out of his ass and pay attention to the match, but Hank just ignores him. The crowd is buzzing and chanting once more as Eric Corrayo is starting to get up. Hank notices the crowd's reaction and turns around to see the Ego Killer standing groggily a few feet behind him. Enraged, Hank rushes forward, looking to tie up with Corrayo, but the challenger ducks, wrapping Hank up and planting him on the mat with a spinebuster as the crowd cheers wildly! Eric doesn't slow down, grabbing Hank's legs and entwining them with his own, turning Hand onto his stomach and locking in the Sharpshooter! Hank shouts in pain as the referee gets right in Hank's face, looking for a submission.
Tex: Corrayo's got the Sharpshooter locked in! This could be it!
Duff: No way in hell! Hank will NEVER submit! Not gonna happen!
The referee asks Hank if he submits, and the champion shakes his head furiously. He tries to crawl toward the ropes, but Corrayo clamps down harder, stopping Hank in his tracks as the crowd is on its feet, screaming and chanting his name! Hank is biting his own hands now, refusing to quit! Chaplin yells repeated at referee Head from the outside of the ring, trying desperately to get his attention, but the ref doesn't listen.
Tex: This is it! There's nowhere for Hank to go!
Eric Corrayo is clamping down on Hank with every ounce of strength he can muster, and Hank is waving his hand in the air, on the very brink of tapping out! Out of nowhere, Goth rushes down to the ring and stomps Corrayo's head, breaking the hold and causing referee Head to call for the bell!
Tex: What?! No! This is bullshit! What the hell's going on out here!?
Duff: Ha ha! That right there is why you don't cross the boss! Ha ha ha!
Stormy: Ladies and gentlemen, due to outside interference, this match is declared a Disqualification! Because the title will not change hands...still AWA International Champion...HANK HENRY!!!
Inside the ring, Hank has rolled away from the AWA's owner and the referee is pushing him back, telling him to get out of the ring. Goth yells at the ref that if he touches him again, his ass will be fired. Referee Head simply steps back, watching as Goth stomps Corrayo without mercy, hauling him to his feet as the crowd boos loudly. Hank exits the ring and makes his way up the entrance ramp with Chaplin Graves, pointedly ignoring the carnage in the ring as the crowd boos him. In the ring, Goth pummels Corrayo with a hard right hand before hoisting him up and planting him with t5he Chaos ADDT! Goth smiles as he looks down at Corrayo's unmoving form before climbing out of the ring and walking gingerly up the entrance ramp.
Duff: You've gotta love that guy, you know it?
Tex: Well it looks like Goth wanted revenge on Corrayo for that altercation at WrestleQuest II. Now he's gotten it, screwing Corrayo out of the International Championship.
Duff: Oh, please! He had it coming!
Tex: Corrayo was seconds away from a win! Hank was about to tap!
Duff: Nope. No he wasn't.
Tex: Sometimes I wish you'd catch the flu or something so I wouldn't have to deal with your ass.
Duff: Well, wish in one hand and...well, you know what you can do in the other one.
A medical technician rushes down to the ring to check on Eric Corrayo. The crowd continues chanting his name as the show fades to an advertisement for AWA merchandise.
Winner:
ONE...TWO...
Hank is starting to move, slowly getting to his feet. Corrayo steps back, setting up and waiting as Hank finally stands. The fans chant and cheer even louder as the champion slowly turns, erupting with a roar when he's met by a wild swing from Corrayo, the chair cracking him in the skull with the loud smack of bone on steel! Hank staggers back but doesn't go down, and the Ego Killer moves forward, stalking him and cracking him with the chair once more! Hank falls to the arena floor, the last blow from the chair busting him open, and now blood is flowing freely from a nasty cut on his forehead.
THREE...FOUR...
Corrayo drops the chair, smiling as he grabs Hank and hauls him up by his hair, clobbering him with a pair of right hands for good measure before whipping him into the steel ring steps! Hank's shoulder takes the brunt of the punishment and he collapses to the floor as the ring steps are knocked out of place and tumble along the floor.
FIVE...SIX...
SEVEN...EIGHT...
Corrayo yanks the fork out of his calf with a final yelp of pain, struggling to get to his feet and limping toward the ring, heavily favoring his wounded leg as he reaches the apron.
NINE...
Vs.
Tex: For what is now the seventh time in their history, Fang and Ronin are once again fighting each other for the AWA Universal title!
Duff: Except there is a difference in this one, for if Fang does not win the title, he cannot vie for the title so long as Ronin is the champion. So Fang has to pull out all the stops if he wishes to ensure a win!
Tex: That’s easier said than done, Duff, because Ronin may be going down as one of the longest-reigning champions in AWA history. So Fang definitely has a long battle before him, as does Ronin. Remember, Fang is no slouch when it comes to fights like these!
Duff: That’s why Fang shouldn’t be booed out of the building each and every time – he proves himself everything he says he is, yet the fans think it’s crap. Well, you know what? I think it’s crap that the fans think that way! Fang is a TRUE champion, unlike Ronin here!
Tex: Oh please, Duff, you’re getting way ahead of yourself there!
The fans are already riled up, enjoying the events of the pay-per-view so far and are now getting anxious and excited for the main event. Stormy Canyon enters the ring, with microphone in her hand, and speaks to the crowd.
>
Stormy: Ladies and gentleman, this match is scheduled for one fall and it is for the AWA Universal championship! This match is called a Final Chance match for the title, which means that this is Fang’s last chance in going after the title. Should he lose tonight, he will never be able to get a chance for the Universal title as long as Ronin is still the champion!
The crowd roars loudly upon hearing the annoucement!
Stormy: Introducing first, the challenger! From Long Pond, PA, weighing at 220 lbs…..FANG!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The arena goes dark. A beat starts in the background followed by Rhinanna beginning to sing the beginning of “Run This Town” Red and blue strobes like police lights begin to go off as a form rises from underneath the stage. Jay-Z’s part begins and a spotlight shines on the figure at it shows to be Fang. He is standing in the light in a Black Armani suit. His head is bowed as the music plays. He then looks up as he is joined in the entrance way of the stage by Big Vic Gillot. The two men walk down to the ring The strobes still going off. More men in black suits walk behind the Man in Black. They surround the ring as he gets in. The lights go back to normal as the music fades. Fang takes off the suit jacket to reveal a white tshirt underneath. He folds the jacket and hands it to Vic. Fang nods to Vic and the men around the ring and they walk backstage as he waits for his opponent.
Duff: In a time like this, Tex, you don’t want to be in the ring with a guy like Fang right now. He’s been getting opportunity after opportunity for the championship and since this is his last chance, he’s not going anywhere until things go his way.
Tex: Well, Duff, for the most part, a lot of the fans are sick of seeing Fang getting chance after chance when nobody else is given one for a long while. I’m rooting for Ronin – once he puts away Fang for good, there is literally no chance in hell that Fang can get another shot!
Duff: In that case, Tex, my bet’s on Fang. Don’t be the one to come back crying when Ronin loses Tex!
Tex: And the same to you, Duff!
Stormy: Introducing his opponent! From Nashville, TN, weighing at 240 lbs, he is the current AWA Universal champion…..RONIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The lights in the arena go out and the crowd begins to buzz in anticipation as 'Violence Fetish’ by Disturbed begins to play over the PA system. The opening riff slowly grows louder, causing the entire building to rumble…
"Bring the violence,
Tex: The crowd is all ready for the fight ahead, hoping for a good conclusion to come out of it!
Duff: Are you nuts?? Nobody wants to see a good conclusion! Besides, Tex, things don’t work out the way you’d like them to anyway!
The referee calls for the bell, which rings loudly throughout the arena. The two men in the ring stay in their corners briefly, staring each other down, unwilling to make a move at first. Then they leave their corners and now begin to circle around the ring, sizing each other up. Ronin and Fang finally lock horns, with Fang getting Ronin into a headlock. He gets the first two strikes of the battle with two punches to Ronin’s head, but Ronin finally manages to push him to the ropes. Fang returns, shoulder tackling Ronin to the ground, Ronin feeling the impact on his back. The two stare each other down for a second before Ronin rolls onto his chest just as Fang hopped over him. Fang jumps over him again as Ronin is still up, but as he passes him, Ronin gets up and awaits Fang, getting him as he comes by with a nice hip toss. That move didn’t do much damage, but stalled Fang in getting himself back up as Ronin unleashed a brutal punt to his back. Fang cries out in agony as he tries to sit up, arching his back as he slowly gets up. Ronin takes him over to the upper-right post and smacks Fang’s face into the post twice. The third time was a no-go, however, as Fang blocked the attempt and countered with a left elbow strike into Ronin’s face, forcing the champion to stagger back. Fang then turns around and clobbers Ronin with a fierce uppercut, sending him back a bit further. But Fang immediately goes for The Fatal Shot, one of his finisher moves, hoping to end the match here and now, yet Ronin is able to recover in time and pushes the man off him. Fang stumbles forward, trying to regain his balance, but Ronin leaps to the side, grabbing him by the back of the head, and slamming his face into the canvas with a bulldog! That spins Fang around on the ground quick, which allows Ronin to go for the first pin of the match by hooking the leg! 1….2…but Fang kicks out in the nick of time! Ronin picks up Fang and throws him to the ropes, but missed out on a clothesline as Fang reaches the other side. Fang then gets the drop on Ronin, who is slow to do anything at the moment, as he executes a Lou Thez press! Fang is now on top of his fallen opponent, wailing away ferociously with some nasty punches, left and right. Ronin does his best to block them, yet some of them fall through, connecting hard to the face. In the next moment, the challenger gets off Ronin, but picks him up and is able to get a few knee strikes into Ronin as he holds him in a clutch. Even though he feels the strikes, Ronin blocks out the pain as best as he can, breaking off the clutch, kicking Fang into the stomach and going for a body slam. But Fang slips out of his grasp, lands on his feet, then blindsides Ronin with a fireman’s carry! With Ronin on the ground, Fang goes for his first cover, pinning him as the referee makes the attempt to make it official! 1….2…but Ronin barely gets his shoulder up in time.
Duff: Ronin should have done the right thing and let Fang have the championship right then and there!
Tex: Oh shut your pie hole, would you please? Ronin did the right thing for himself – he is still champion at this point!
Fang is not happy with the count and decides to make Ronin submit, taking his left arm and placing it in an armbar submission! As he tightens the hold, he can’t help but grin from ear to ear, listening to Ronin as he screams his head off, trying to deal with the pain as best as the champ can. The referee rushes to Ronin’s side, asking him constantly if he wishes to give up! But Ronin stubbornly shakes his head and he grits his teeth as he rolls backward, breaking the hold. Fang, however, is quick to kip up on his feet and then land a roundhouse kick as Ronin is on one knee. But Ronin wraps left arm round Fang’s right leg, then gets up and trips Fang with his own right foot, then he takes his right elbow and slams it into his stomach, causing Fang to lose his breath for a second. Ronin decides to get some payback as he takes a hold of both of Fang’s legs and twists them around in a Boston Crab maneuver, causing Fang to groan out in pain this time, Ronin now enjoying the satisfaction of making him hurt. The crowd is yelling for Fang to submit, as is the referee, who is asking him if he wishes to. But despite the pain, Fang also refuses, shaking his head back and forth, now slowly crawling. The pain is very intense in his legs, but the challenger is willing to put up everything he can to make his dream come true. Ronin tightens the hold, but Fang’s determination wins out as he finally manages to land a holding of the bottom rope. The referee sees the action and tells Ronin to get off him, which he lets go. Ronin backs up for a second as Fang tries to get the feeling back in both legs, making sure they aren’t injured. Then Ronin walks past the referee, who backs off and continues to watch the action. Fang’s next move was brilliantly executed, kicking Ronin directly in his left shin, causing Ronin to cry out in rage. Using the ropes to get himself back up, he goes for a rising knee, grabbing Ronin’s head and forcing it down upon his rehabbed knee. Ronin’s head flies backward, blood rushing out of his nose, as Fang then takes his head off with a vicious clothesline! The challenger goes for the pin, the referee counting it. 1….2…but Ronin gets the shoulder up once again! Fang picks up the champion and gets three good, solid punches directly into Ronin’s stomach. Then he sets up Ronin for a suplex and is able to lift him in the air. But he takes too long holding him there, for as it falls down, Ronin lands on his feet instead of his back and pushes Fang directly into the lower-left post of the ring! That takes out Fang’s wind once again as the challenger staggers back, right into the hands of the champion, who executes a German suplex and transforms that move in a pin! The referee slaps the mat once….twice….but Fang kicks his foe with both feet, stunning him as the two now lie on the floor, exhausted from the back and forth action!
Tex: I’m telling you, Duff, Ronin is going to win this match in the seventh time they’ve competed each other and Fang will NEVER be champion again!
Duff: You’re nuts Tex! Fang is going to be the champion after tonight and there’s going to be a ton of celebration happening between him and Goth, that’s for damn sure!
Fang is the first one to get up, albeit slowly, while Ronin is still dizzy from those kicks he just received. Fang runs to the ropes, springs off, ant then hits a jumping legdrop to Ronin’s chest. Fang then takes the champion and throws him out of the ring as the fans boo him out of the building. He smirks, taking in the boos as he rolls out of the ring. The referee is beginning to count them both out as Fang yells at the staff nearby to get out of their chairs as he takes one of them and folds it up. Fang goes to strike Ronin as he is on one knee, the referee instantly grabbing the chair. Itali sees this and goes on the apron to complain about Fang and the referee argues with her, completely distracted. Ronin takes advantage of the situation as Fang looks back, yelling at the damn ref for taking the chair away, but then his jaw drops to the floor, his eyes widen as he grabs his jewels, courtesy of a low blow from the champion! Itali drops down from the apron and grins from ear to ear as the referee turns back to the action, sliding the chair out of the ring and onto the floor, unsure of what just happened. As the challenger doubles over in pain, Ronin rises up back to his feet and sees the Spanish announcer’s table. With Fang temporary stunned, Ronin lifts the challenger and puts everything behind the powerslam, the Spanish announcers quickly getting out of their chairs as Ronin breaks Fang through the announcers’ table, breaking it in half! The crowd are chanting “Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!” as the two men are once again wiped out from the action. Fang is unmoving on the floor as Ronin is breathing hard, also unmoving for a bit. The referee restarts the count as Itali covers her mouth in concern. Ronin is now back up on his feet, bruised from the impact. Fang tries to get up, crawling on all fours, but feels Ronin’s right foot as he punts Fang in the face, busting his nose wide open, along with a few teeth flying out. Ronin then picks up the challenger and rolls him back into the ring, then follows pursuit. He rolls into the ring and goes for the pin, the referee counting it! 1….2…..but Fang kicks out in the nick of time! Ronin looks at the challenger, shaking his head back and forth, unable to believe that the count was not his, but admits to himself that Fang is one tough son of a bitch and takes no for an answer. He picks up Fang and goes for a hiptoss, but Fang somehow manages to land on his feet! Despite him being a broken man, Fang defies the odd as he goes for a hiptoss of his own as well, only for Ronin to counter it. Ronin throws Fang to the ropes, but as he returns, Ronin goes for a big boot to the face, but Fang ducks underneath it as he goes to the other side, while Ronin runs forward. The two come back and collide with tremendous impact as they land a devastating clothesline onto each other. The crowd cannot stand it, hoping to find a winner in all of this action. Both men are currently bloodied and brusied all over, neither man unwilling to let the other have their way. The referee begins to count them down, the crowd joining the referee with the count. 1…..2……3……4……..5….6……7…..Fang is the first to finally get up, but at the count of nine, Ronin also gets up in time to stop the ten count. The referee stops the count and steps back, watches the combatant as they lock eyes, breathing very hard, neither wanting to make the first move. Suddenly, a scream was heard from outside of the ring as Itali got tackled down!
Tex: Wait a second! What the hell just happened???
Duff: You didn’t see it, did you? It was Brenda! She didn’t like what Ronin’s woman did earlier in the match and took matters into her own hands!
Ronin and Fang lifted their gaze from each other as they saw both of their women fighting on the ground, already consumed in a cat fight. The referee sees this go down and waves for security and referees. They quickly come out of the backstage curtain in droves, running down the ramp. As they do their best to break up the action, the women are yelling and screaming at each other, Itali surprising her holders and spearing Brenda to the ground. Security and referees do their best to bring them up the ramp. Ronin yells at them, fearing for his love’s safety, but that gives Fang the advantage he needs, getting Ronin down on one knee through a chop block. He then wraps his arm around Ronin’s neck and executes a reverse DDT. Fang goes for the pin and hooks the leg, but the referee inside the ring is still distracted from still seeing the action. Brenda, Itali, and the security and refs finally disappear behind the curtain and the ref turns around and FINALLY sees the attempt made by Fang! He slides on the floor and goes for the count! 1…..2….but just as the referee was about to slap his hand for the third time, Ronin BARELY kicks out!!!! The crowd inside the arena is cheering loudly as Fang gets up and is very angry at the referee, but takes out his anger on Ronin instead as he kicks him down ferociously, Ronin unable to get up! Now Fang lets his anger loose on the ref, although verbally, telling him that he should have counted the move earlier instead of later! The referee yells back at him, letting him know that he didn’t see it until that very moment, so therefore, no count happened! During all this commotion, the champion himself was now up on his knee, then rising up to his full height, just waiting for the right time for the challenger to turn around. Fang shakes his head and dismisses the referee. He then makes the mistake of turning around as Ronin lands a kick into his jewels, the referee not seeing it at all, as he took a quick glance back to make sure that they were finally gone, then looks at Ronin and Fang and witnesses Ronin putting Fang in The Elder’s Wrath! But Fang is struggling to get out and does so. Ronin is angry about Fang getting away with the hold and throws a wild haymaker. A mistake that the champion made, as Fang ducks underneath it and completely blindsides Ronin with THE FATAL SHOT!!!!!! It finally connected, sending Ronin reeling to the mat, face first! Fang cannot believe it – he successfully pulled off the finisher! He can feel the victory and the title finally coming around his waist as he goes to hook the leg of the champion, now knowing that victory was his, after all this time…
Duff: See, Tex, what did I tell you???? Fang is going to be the NEW AWA Universal champion!!!!!
Tex: Wait a second, Duff, hold that thought! The crowd is getting some kind of commotion!!! Wait a second…is that who I think it is??
Duff: No way!!! It can’t be!!! What the hell is that crazy bastard doing here???
Just as Jonathan Porter is about to get the leg up on Ronin, a mysterious fan jumps the barricade, and slides into the ring from behind Fang. The referee sees this and orders the fan to get out of the ring, but the fan isn’t listening. Porter realizes that the referee is distracted as we see him look up. The fan takes off their hoodie to reveal themselves.
Tex: It’s John Irons! Err…Rather Big Bad John!
Duff: Who let that monkey out of his cage!?
Porter sees the big man and smirks an evil smile. He turns away back to hook the leg up on Ronin when Big Bad John attacks Porter.
Tex: What in the hell is he doing?! I thought he and Porter were in cahoots together!
Duff: Apparently not.
Big Bad John hit’s a running punt directly into the face of Jonathan Porter, sending him flying off Ronin. The referee calls for the bell as Stormy Canyons voice can be heard across the PA system.
Stormy: Due to a disqualification, the winner of this match is Jonathan “Fang” Porter. However because it is also a title match, Ronin does not lose the Universal Championship!
Duff: WHAT!?
Big Bad John can be seen smirking as “Run this Town” hit’s the PA. All of a sudden, Big Bad John asks for a mic and yells to cut the music.
Big Bad John: CUT THE MUSIC!
He wait’s a moment before continuing, to allow the fans to get settled.
Big Bad John: I’m sure all of you are wondering why I attacked Jonathan Porter, and SCREWED him out of ever contending for the Universal Championship as long as Ronin is Champion. But then again I’m sure I had you all fooled, just as I had Mister Porter here fooled too.
Tex: What the? ,p>
Duff: No Way!
Big Bad John: It was a ruse from the git go! I grew tired of Porter’s Men in Black trying to brainwash me, so I developed a plan that worked like a charm. After convincing everyone, including my wife Chloe that I had cracked, and had gone off the deep end I set forth a plan in motion. The only one person that knew what was going on was Big Bad Casey. We made a deal and proved to him that it was Fang’s men that attacked him, and his friend John, then pinned it on me. I then told him the best way to fuck with everyone was to make them all think I was crazy and he the sane one.
I am truly sorry to all the fans out there for this deception, and this nasty con. It was the only way to ensure that Jon Porter gets everything that he has coming to him. Which as I calculated, he almost won here tonight, but can’t vie for the Universal Title as long as my man Ronin is the champ.
Some fans cheer and others give out a mixed reaction to the Big Boss of AWA. He stands there for a moment smirking before he continues.
John Irons: Now that we have that out of the way, allow me to address yet another issue. In the beginning there was The Family. The Family which Consisted of Goth, Myself, Stacy Kissinger, Jay Gold, Marissa Swanson, Chase, Bill Barnhart and Fang. I defected to help co-create The Rebellion, which as it stands now, Chase is no longer with the AWA, and neither is Marissa Swanson. Jay Gold and his incest cousin Stacy Kissinger are banned from any PR concerning AWA networks. And Bill Barnhart decided to see the light, and joined The Rebellion as of a month ago. You’re all with me so far?
Well That leaves the Family stable down to just two people. Two brothers. Goth and Fang. Now as most of you know, Goth has been Missing in Action since WrestleQuest II, thanks to yours truly. Which now leaves us to Fang. Jonathan Porter!
Irons looks to the knocked out Fang, bleeding from his forehead and smirks. The fans begin a “Big Boss is Back” chant. John lets this go on for a few moments before he decides to continue.
John Irons: The Rebellion, including myself has brought an end to The Family! So because there is no longer a threat of them, there is no longer an need for a Rebellion. Effective until Goth decides to be a real man and rebuild his little empire, The Rebellion is disbanded! Let it be known for the record, that The Rebellion holds the reigning Universal Champion, the current Television Champion, and a force of men so strong that it brought The Family down to near nothing! This does not mean that Shipman, Bulldog, Ronin, Canis, Metamania, and myself will turn coat and be enemies. We are all like the National Guard, ready to defend the AWA against all enemies in a time of crisis. We are the Rebellion of the people, for the people and by the people.
Duff: He’s making me cry!
Tex: Why? I didn’t realize you were so emotional. Pussy.
John Irons: Now to be a fair boss, I sometimes have to do things that people don’t like. Seeing as how we have a Blood Brother that won a match tonight that will down in the archives as one of the best matches of 2010, and an up and coming superstar that needs to make a real mark on society, The main event, for Insomnia next week: Chaos and Matthew Toddi versus Ronin for the Universal Title!
There is a shocked uproar from the fans, as Ronin looks at John nodding his head in approval. After all he has done it before, so it should be a piece of cake this time around.
John Irons: And just to add salt to the freshly opened wound, Jon Porter will be opening next week in a triple threat match for the #1 contender spot for the International Title. Krusher and Jason Stevens get a chance to take on Mister Porter in an exciting show opener. We’ll see you all then!
“Seek and Destroy” hit’s the PA system as the scene fades to the AWA logo.
Winner:
it's significant
to the life if you've ever known anyone.
Bring the violence,
it's significant
to the life can you feel it?
Oh ow, ow!"
A thunderous explosion rocks the arena as fireworks and pyrotechnics fill the entrance area. As the smoke clears, Ronin and Ilati step through the haze onto the entrance ramp to a jumbled chorus of cheers and chants, the Universal Championship belt shining around Ronin's waist. They walk to the bottom of the ramp and stop.
Ronin holds the Universal Title over his head as another pop of pyro goes off behind him.
He smiles ear-to-ear as he slowly walks toward the ring, chanting and high-fiving along with the fans on his way. He hands the IUniversal Title to Ilati, leaving her to stand outside the ring as he slides under the bottom rope and begins to circle the ring in anticipation.
