Post by Silvio Megala on Sept 4, 2012 23:54:20 GMT -4
As the show opens up and the theme music plays we hear the music stops and after a quick pause the song valley of the dammed by dragon force blares over the p.a. system. another brief pause and the curtains move. All at once a greenish mist appears and we see Hell walk down the aisle carrying a Mic in one hand and a baseball bat in the other. The crowd roars in approval as hell remains emotionless as he climbs the ring apron and steps over the top ropes. His music ceases and he looks around. The crowd grows silent and hell looks all around. Finally after a standing ovation from the crowd Hell lifts the Mic and speaks.
Yes its me Hell and I am back!! I am not going to waste a lot of time here and I am going to get right to the core of the problem.
Hell smirks!!
The problem being one Anthony Royal. I am only going to warn you but once. I am back and I swear to the fires of hell itself if you so much as stick your nose in any of my matches I will cripple you for good.....and that includes Silvio Megala if he shows his face! Not once but twice I had that sorry sack of shit defeated and both times you decided to protect that little Bitch each time. Well Megala and Royal it is time for a new era.......mine!! Silvio I don't give a fuck whether Royal is your hand picked champion anymore or if you even want to be associated with him! You will still pay for what you did to me!
Hell turns and looks deeply into the camera.
Royal I am going to say one thing you got real lucky against Dustin weaver last week who in my mind should have had his hand raised in victory against you. It is not you that should be going on to the tournament it is indeed Dustin weaver. Royal my intent is to destroy you and Megala and I will do just that. I will interfere in every match you have Royal and i will cost you in anyway I can and if you don't believe me you better watch your back Royal. There are more wrestlers in this arena that are far more deserving then you are starting with Dustin Weaver. Fa sho and Slick Doctor just to name a few. Royal when i get down with you and Silvio Megala your names will only be known as mid carders even if it means my own destruction!!!
Hell tosses down the Mic and leaves.
David Saturn-"My God! What a start to tonights broadcast where we will see the conclusion of the deadly game tournament!"
Neal Steal-"This is a disgrace! The last thing Mr Royal needs tonight is to be threatened by this maniac! I thought you said last week the AWR couldn't contact him?"
David Saturn-"Well nobody could but it looks like somebody contacted him this past week! That is unless he has simply decided to show up of his own accord!"
Neal Steal-"Then gets security and remove him then!"
David Saturn-"Who's going to try and remove a guy like Hell from the building! Wait a moment we have something going on backstage now...Al what's going on?"
The scene cuts backstage where we see Al Walters standing with mic in hand. We can hear some yelling off camera followed by a loud bang which sounds like furniture being thrown...
Al Walters-"There's a commotion going on backstage here David I'm going to find out what its all about!"
Al walks down the corridor where we see Anthony Royal and Megala Enterprises Executive Roberto Maggia yelling at each other. We aren't close enough to hear what they are saying as both men notice Al approaching the door.
Al Walters-"Could I catch a quick word with you 2 gentlemen please?"
Roberto swiftly slams the door in Walters face.
Al Walters-"I'll take that as a no then."
The camera cuts back to Saturn and Steal.
David Saturn-"What the hell was that all about?"
Neal Steal-"It looked like young Roberto Maggia was yelling at Mr Royal there...I'm not sure Mr Megala will be thrilled with that...still Roberto is only 18 he's learning on the job..."
David Saturn-"Well for whatever reason it seems a rift might have developed. Why else would Silvio not have handed Royal the title?"
Neal Steal-"Like I said Mr Megala is simply very busy. Once Mr Royal realises how much money must be involved he will understand why Mr Megala has been distracted..."
David Saturn-"Well we know one thing for sure that will never change and that is Megala putting money before everything else! We will be back in just a moment with our opening bout!"
********************************************************************************************************
From Portland, Oregon...Gunner...HUGHES!!!
David Saturn-"Well here comes Gunner Hughes who impressed us so much last week...hit seems he has let his destruction of Zane Byers speak for itself as he has been unwilling to talk since then..."
Neal Steal-"Well he appears to be a very humble man Saturn...unlike this idiot who put his hands on me last week!"
David Saturn-"Well that's what you get for putting your hands on him isn't it!"
From Springfield, Massachusetts...Slick...DOCTOR!!!
Neal Steal-"Come on Gunner kick his ass! Remember what he did to me!"
David Saturn-"Why would Gunner give a rats ass about you? You have never exchanged a word!"
Neal Steal-"Well he may have heard my kind compliments towards him last week..."
David Saturn-"Not everybody wants a personal ass kisser Steal. I don't particularly like Gunner's attitude at all or his line of work but he's definitely here for only one thing tonight! That is the prize right over there by the time keeper's table..."
Neal Steal-"They should have given it to me I don't trust that timekeeper to keep his eyes on that belt...someone might try and grab it...worth a lot of money that is..."
As Gunner enters the ring Slick does not take his eyes away from him. Clearly despite last weeks display from Gunner this is still very much a case of walking into the unexpected. Can Gunner do to a legend of the ring like Slick what he did to Zane Byers? We are about to find out! Slick charges at Gunner and both men engage in a hell of a fistfight!
David Saturn-"Slick certainly wasn't silent this past week...we saw him in a bar..."
Neal Steal-"Surprise, surprise..."
David Saturn-"He was looking for Megala actually..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Megala would not own a bar facility. He owns office skyscrapers, mansions and exclusive restaurants amongst his vast property portfolio..."
David Saturn-"Does he still own any yachts or did that pirate hijack a few years ago put him off?"
Neal Steal-"Don't mention those pirates...remember how they held me hostage?"
David Saturn-"I do indeed! One of my most cherished memories...shame it didn't last longer!"
After a few moments Slick begins getting the better of the initial exchanges. Clearly Hughes will know now that he is for a far tougher test of his credentials. Gunner is being pounded in the corner but suddenly he grabs Slick by the throat and turns the tables! Slick is backed against the turnbuckle and Gunner unleashes four ferocious uppercuts!
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Look at Gunner pounding him like the sloppy drunk he is!"
David Saturn-"Gunner's a sloppy drunk?"
Neal Steal-"Shut up Saturn you know full well who I was referring to..."
David Saturn-"Slick has taken numerous pool cues and glasses to the jaw in some of his legendary bar fights...he certainly does not have the glass jaw Zane Byers had..."
Slick to his credit stays on his feet after the first 3 shots but the fourth sends him to the ground. Slick leaps back to his feet but another uppercut by Gunner knocks him right back down. Gunner pulls Slick to his feet and whips him off the ropes. Gunner lowers his head looking for a back body drop but Slick connects with a dropkick to the head!
Neal Steal-"Slick...I mean Slop...might not be in any bar this upcoming week. I should sue him for assault he might be up in court facing me..."
David Saturn-"What type of lawyer would be stupid enough to take on that case? You hit him first there is clear visual evidence?
Neal Steal-"After he poured that cheap commercial beer on me..."
David Saturn-"Pouring beer on someone does not count as assault!"
Clearly Slick has scouted Gunner recognising that he performed the move on Byers last week. Gunner was too obvious there and with a veteran like Slick you won't get away with that. Hard clothesline by Slick sends Gunner to the mat! Elbowdrop to the throat as the crowd erupt cheering like crazy for everything Slick does.
David Saturn-"I don't care how many cage fights Gunner has had he has never faced a more accomplished athlete than what he's facing here tonight..."
Neal Steal-"In his prime maybe but Slop is washed up..."
David Saturn-"He is not! Slick is well conditioned...I don't quite know how he manages it considering how much he drinks but he is!"
3 more elbowdrops by Slick and then he begins pounding on Gunner! A ferocious flurry of offence by Slick here and Gunner seemingly has no answer to it! Gunner pulled to his feet, whipped off the ropes and Slick with a kick to the ribs. Slick then goes for the DOC-TORE DRIVER realising that a quick win would be very much to his benefit on this evening.
Neal Steal-"Look at Slop going for his finisher...thought he wanted to entertain the fans? So why is he trying to end this early then..."
David Saturn-"Because he has another match coming up you fool...that is if he beats Gunner here tonight..."
Neal Steal-"You think Gunner Hughes is going to lose don't you? That tone in your voice you think he will lose..."
David Saturn-"I did not say he would lose but beating some nobody last week does not make him a made man! Slick however is legendary..."
Neal Steal-"If you can call being a disgusting drunkard admirable..."
Gunner however blocks it then rolls to the outside evidently requiring a breather. Gunner looks flustered perhaps realising that he has never fought anyone on Slick's level before. If Gunner is capable of raising his game to that level we are about to find out! Unlike last week however Gunner has lost concentration and Slick dives to the outside with a flying clothesline!
Neal Steal-"Gunner is being clever here trying to lure Slop into a false sense of security..."
David Saturn-"Well if that's the case...which I very much doubt...he's certainly doing a convincing job of it!"
Slick pulls Gunner to his feet and rams him face first into the steps. He then repeats the same move only this time sending Gunner crashing in shoulder first! Gunner whipped into the barricade and then has his head rammed into it head first. Slick rolls the stunned Gunner back into the ring.
Neal Steal-"That's not fair! That is unfair on Gunner Hughes he is new to wrestling and Slop is cheating..."
David Saturn-"No referee is going to disqualify someone for that...Slick isn't above bending the rules but that would not warrant a DQ..."
Neal Steal-"Ha ha! Slop a step behind there...he's washed up Saturn the booze is finally going to his head!"
Slick however is a little slow getting back into the ring. A rare mistake as Gunner is back on his feet and drives his fist into Slick's head. More punches follow and then Gunner begins to stomp on Slick who tries to pull himself up in the corner. Gunner kneels down and begins to choke Slick until the ref forces him to break the hold.
Neal Steal-"If Slop can use that barricade then Gunner is entitled to use that chokehold..."
David Saturn-"...and the ref is entitled to break it up at the 4 count which he is now doing..."
Hard knee to the face by Gunner followed up by a hard shot to the jaw. Gunner pulls Slick to his feet, whip attempt reversed by Slick, Gunner rebounds ducking a clothesline but on the second rebound Slick catches him with a flying elbow! Slick pounds on Gunner with rights and lefts then drags Gunner into the corner by his legs.
David Saturn-"Slick now looking to deprive Gunner of his lethal weapon...those kicks! They were almost like gunshots last week such was the force of them..."
Neal Steal-"Once again Slop has to resort to unfair tactics unbefitting of a champion...and he will not be the champion! Gunner Hughes has dominated the majority of this match..."
David Saturn-"Oh shut up! What planet are you on have you even be watching this closely?"
Slick goes to the outside and pulls Gunner's legs towards the ringpost. Slick slams Gunners leg into the ringpost multiple times! After the explosive kicks by Gunner last week this is great strategy by Slick to try and take out the legs. Not a bad idea of course trying to ground your opponent in general!
David Saturn-"You seem to be rubbing your neck a lot tonight Steal..."
Neal Steal-"Because of that brutal move Slop did on me last week! Its a credit I've shown up here tonight you needed a week off when Mr Royal gave you that deserved beating..."
David Saturn-"He did one move on you unlike Royal who pretty much kicked my ass...and you needed a week off when Flammenkrieg kicked your ass!"
Neal Steal-"Don't mention that maniac...last thing we need is him showing up anytime soon with one unpleasant surprise already tonight..."
David Saturn-"That surprise being Hell if you are tuning in...and the fans were very pleased to see him..."
The ref orders Slick to stop and Gunner staggers to his feet. Gunner is clearly showing the effects of the pounding his leg just took and Slick gets back into the ring. Slick with a chopblock targeted at the knee. Slick then grabs Gunner's legs clearly looking for a submission but Gunner showing his tremendous kicking ability powers out of the attempt and the force sends Slick through the ropes to the outside.
Neal Steal-"He's a cage fighter and he's never submitted! What does Slop know about submission?"
David Saturn-"One if his finishers is a submission hold you fool...as you know full well!"
Neal Steal-"Come on Gunner...that's good break his back! Pound him!"
Gunner exits the ring and jumps off the apron with a clubbing blow to Slick's back. Slick pulled to his feet and rammed hard chest first into the steel steps! Gunner then lifts Slick up and drops him chest first across the barricade. Gunner obviously trying to knock the wind out of Slick but he has done well to keep up endurance wise thus far.
David Saturn-"I wonder if this is the longest Gunner has performed..."
Neal Steal-"He's younger, fitter and he's smashing the life out of Slop with these brutal stomps! That's right stomp him until he vomits...can't imagine how many ladies he's vomited on when he tries his disgusting, tired chat up material..."
David Saturn-"At least he's been with a woman...talking of performance what's the longest you have ever performed Steal...and I don't mean in the ring!"
Neal Steal-"Shut up!"
Stomps now by Gunner and then he chokes Slick with his boot. The ref breaks that up and Gunner rolls Slick back into the ring. Uppercuts by Gunner as Slick pulls himself up in the corner. Gunner then whips Slick into the opposite corner chest first. Slick drops to the mat as Gunner focuses on him with an icy glare.
David Saturn-"If this was a contest of ice cold glares Gunner would be the winner...but it isn't..."
Neal Steal-"He's simply focusing on his opponent...what's wrong with that?"
David Saturn-"I never said there's anything wrong with it did I?"
Gunner pulls Slick halfway to his feet and digs his fingers into Slick's forehead. Slick tries to protect his eyes and the ref breaks it up. Slick disorientated falls to the outside but gets back to his feet but is clearly struggling. Gunner is now outside the ring, spins Slick round and nails him with a brutal uppercut which sends Slick crumpling to the floor.
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Ha ha! Slop is falling around like its happy hour!"
David Saturn-"Who wouldn't fall to the ground after a shot like that?"
Neal Steal-"How can you question Gunner's conditioning when he unleashes shots like that..."
David Saturn-"I simply pointed out that he may not have been in a contest for this length of time! It is called a legitimate question something you wouldn't know a damn thing about!"
Awesome right hand by Gunner and Slick is rolled into the ring. This brawl is relentless and nobody can brawl quite like Slick aside from perhaps his old partner Big Bad B-Man. However Slick may have met his match with Gunner tonight. Gunner applies a chokehold engulfing Slick's neck and head with his arms.
Neal Steal-"200 beers a night might not be able to knock this idiot out but a chokehold from Gunner Hughes would!"
David Saturn-"He does not drink 200 beers a night...even Slick wouldn't be standing if he had that many!"
Neal Steal-"Slop is too stupid to know when to stay down. He isn't fighting to his feet out of spirit...he's probably too drunk to know what he's doing!"
David Saturn-"He knows full well what he's doing! Do you know what you're doing Steal? This thing in the ring its called wrestling you know?"
After a few worrying seconds however Slick shows signs of life and fights back up to his feet. Elbows to the ribs by Slick and a punch to the face breaks the hold. Slick then charges off the ropes but is met with a big boot to the face! Slick may have made a mistake there as Byers made the same mistake of charging at Gunner.
Neal Steal-"See Slop is underestimating Hughes not doing his research..."
David Saturn-"He is not underestimating him. Your beloved Royal did last week remember? That would be an interesting match to see...would Gunner lay down for Royal...I doubt it!"
Neal Steal-"So you're admitting that will be the main event..."
David Saturn-"Where the hell did I say that! Good God are you clinically deaf?"
The difference there of course is Byers did that early in the match under little pressure while this bout has been going on for several more minutes. Gunner lifts Slick up and delivers a hard powerslam! Elbowdrop by Gunner and Gunner unlike last week climbs to the top rope. Who knows he might be an aerial specialist...
Neal Steal-"See Gunner isn't one dimensional...he's probably going to do some triple moonsault on Slop here..."
David Saturn-"So much for a triple moonsault...still that was a very powerful clothesline not easy to knock Slick off his feet..."
Neal Steal-"Unless its beer..."
David Saturn-"Shut up about the damn beer! Why is that relevant to every single thing Slick does to people like you?"
Gunner flies off the top and connects with a flying clothesline! Gunner with the cover...1,2...and Slick kicks out! Gunner then applies another chokehold but Slick is quickly back to his feet elbowing Gunner in the ribs. Punches now by Slick but he's unable to knock Gunner down. Slick charges off the ropes looking for momentum...
Neal Steal-"That's like stumbling into a brick wall! Still I guess Slop staggers into lamp posts every night once he's finished his drinking..."
David Saturn-"Slick caught out by Gunner there!"
Neal Steal-"Crush his throat Gunner! Even Slop wouldn't like alcohol if it was fed to him through a straw!"
David Saturn-"The crowd really rallying behind Slick here..."
...Slick ducks a clothesline but as he charges back Gunner grabs him by the throat! Gunner lits Slick up with one hand and tosses him unceremoniously across the ring. Gunner however does not go for the cover which might be a foolish decision. Gunner perhaps wants to be sure about finishing Slick off and lifts him up going for another powerslam.
Neal Steal-"Cover him Gunner! Quick!"
David Saturn-"Not sure if that's a mistake or not...I think Gunner is right to try and make himself certain of victory...another powerslam like that would even have someone like Slick struggling to kick out!"
However Slick slips down Gunner's back landing on his feet! Slick spins Gunner round and kicks him in the ribs then goes for the DOC-TORE DRIVER! Gunner shoves Slick away, Slick rebounds off the ropes, ducks a big boot and as Gunner turns around Slick delivers the DOC-TORE DRIVER on the third attempt!
Slick with the cover, hooks the leg...1,2...3!!!
Neal Steal-"What a fluke! Someone must have told Slop he was fighting for a lifetime supply of beer here tonight. He really rolled back the years but he won't do that against Mr Royal..."
David Saturn-"Or Fa Sho..."
Neal Steal-"Fa Sho is simply part of the supporting cast! This night is all about the lead star and that is Mr Royal! I expected a little better from Gunner Hughes here..."
David Saturn-"So now you're admonishing him because he lost? Slick was the better man pure and simple...we will be back in a few moments for what may well be a classic! Two athletes in their prime years...Fa Sho and Anthony Royal!"
******************************************************
From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...Anthony...ROYAL!!!
Neal Steal-"What is this all about?"
David Saturn-"Well its your hero Steal..."
Neal Steal-"Why is Mr Royal being made to come out first. Champions should not have to come to the ring first..."
David Saturn-"Because to point out the obvious you moron...he isn't the champion!"
Neal Steal-"Well when Mr Megala isn't so busy he may well declare this tournament null and void...that is of course in the highly unlikely event Mr Royal does not emerge victorious..."
David Saturn-"Not as confident as you're trying to make out are you? Careful you might just end up like his former agent...hopefully"
Neal Steal-"That agent was useless..."
From St Louis, Missouri...Kris...Fa Shooooooooooooooo...DESTINY!!!
David Saturn-"What an ovation for Fa Sho!"
Neal Steal-"That ring announcer was showing favortism there did you hear the emphasis he put on Fa Sho's name compared to Mr Royal..."
David Saturn-"No doubt he's going to get his chair, enter the ring and bash Royal with it right? You're paranoid!"
Neal Steal-"I would not be worried if it wasn't for that maniac Hell...the mans a nutcase who knows what he could do..."
As Sho enters the ring Royal keeps nervously looking over his shoulder obviously wary of the threats a 7 foot monster made towards him earlier tonight! Royal then charges at Sho looking for a clothesline. Sho ducks the attempt and delivers a hard chop to the chest. Another chop and Sho with a headlock takedown.
Neal Steal-"How dare Fa Sho condone what that drunk did to me last week!"
David Saturn-"He's only saying what 99.9 percent of viewers agree with...the 0.1 being idiots like that guy over there with the Neal Steal sign. First time for everything..."
This is good strategy by Sho trying to wear Royal down but also knowing that he could very well have another match here tonight. Its sometimes about conserving energy and Slick despite his win may well have damaged his chances with that ferocious fast packed brawling style. After a few moments Royal fights up to his knees then to his feet.
Neal Steal-"Can't blame Fa Sho for being cautious...the slightest mistake against Mr Royal would be punished in a heartbeat..."
David Saturn-"Same applying if Royal makes a mistake...I've never disputed Royal is world class at what he does in the ring...its just unfortunate he chooses the tactics he does..."
Neal Steal-"As Mr Royal put it the cream rises to the top...can't help jealousy from the likes of you Saturn..."
Royal shoves Sho away, Sho charges back off the ropes and knocks Royal down with a clothesline! Snapmare by Sho into an armbar. Sho then switches to a headlock but Royal powers back up to his feet again. Sho backed into the corner and Royal drives his head hard into Sho's ribs. Not exactly the sophisticated technical wrestling we usually see from Royal.
David Saturn-"Royal looked out of sorts this past week..."
Neal Steal-"He will be changing his hairdressers..."
David Saturn-"Both men kind of cautious too since it is the first time they have faced off...ever"
Royal however might be unsure what strategy to take knowing that the longer this match goes on it is more likely hell will be unleashed...literally! Royal drives his head into Sho's ribs again then punches him in the face. Hard kicks to the midsection by Royal now followed up by more punches. Suddenly Sho grabs Royal and slams him into the corner!
Neal Steal-"Surprised you're kissing up to Fa Sho he didn't think your beloved Slick was much of a threat..."
David Saturn-"Well he may have changed his mind after Slick got the job done with Gunner earlier..."
Neal Steal-"Still calling himself the wonderful one...always had a massive ego Fa Sho has..."
David Saturn-"Oh shut up! Its not even half the size what Royal's is..."
Chops by Sho as Royal moans out loud in discomfort. Royal whips Sho into the corner then makes the error of charging forward too fast. Sho raises his boot and Royal is staggered. Sho pulls himself up to the top rope and goes for a crossbody. Sho however is caught by Royal who delivers an overhead belly to belly suplex!
Neal Steal-"Yahoo!"
David Saturn-"Brutal suplex...Royal indeed has quite the variety of suplexes..."
Neal Steal-"Not to mention raw talent, athletic ability, charisma, good lucks and charm..."
David Saturn-"Memorise Royal's comments word for word do you?"
Royal pulls Sho up to his feet from behind and delivers a german suplex. Royal does not release his arms from Sho's body however and repeats the move! Royal hangs onto the waist and delivers a third german suplex...1,2...and Sho gets his shoulder up. Royal then applies a bodyscissors but suddenly goes for the surprise rollup...1,2...and Sho kicks out again.
David Saturn-"Both these men are so versatile...they can switch from technical to mat wrestling in a heartbeat..."
Neal Steal-"Just look at how clever Mr Royal is he almost got Fa Sho there..."
Royal is now stretching Sho and then the ref notices Sho's shoulders are down...1,2...and another kickout. Sho better be careful to keep his shoulders off the mat. Royal continues to stretch Sho and then wraps his legs around him. That might be a mistake by Royal as Sho almost counters into a pinning position.
David Saturn-"Clever by Fa Sho there as well..."
Neal Steal-"Simply copying Mr Royal's pinning attempt...not a bad idea to try and steal from the best but Mr Royal was ready for him..."
David Saturn-"If he's so unbeatable why would he feel the need to scout his opponents?"
Neal Steal-"Look at that rough house tactic by Fa Sho...we are seeing sophisticated wrestling from Mr Royal and Sho resorts to that..."
David Saturn-"Royal was the one driving his head into Sho's ribs earlier...and nothing wrong with that either..."
Royal sees what Sho is trying to do and fights it off. Sho then elbows Royal hard in the face multiple times. Royal's hold is broken and Sho follows him into the corner. Another hard chop by Sho who then goes to whip Royal to the opposite corner. Royal reverses it and Sho is whipped hard into the turnbuckle back first.
David Saturn-"Royal looks like he's losing it..."
Neal Steal-"He's got every right to be a bit upset..."
Sho is then whipped hard into the turnbuckle again as Royal has a crazed look in his eyes. Royal goes for a backdrop but Sho blocks in mid air and counters into a DDT! Awesome counter but Sho is unable to make the cover immediately still feeling the effects of being whipped hard into the turnbuckle. Sho then drapes an arm across...1,2...and Royal gets his shoulder up.
Neal Steal-"You're not going to beat Mr Royal that easily!"
David Saturn-"Its called trying to wear down your opponent...Sho not giving Royal time to refocus here..."
Both men back to their feet and Sho with a swift shoulder charge knocking Royal back down. Sho charges but Royal pulls down the middle rope and Sho falls to the outside. Royal follows and delivers a neckbreaker to Sho on the floor! Royal rolls Sho back into the ring and applies a rear chinlock.
David Saturn-"Rear chinlock by Royal...I'm sure you will be portraying that as some kind of exotic new submission hold Steal..."
Neal Steal-"I wouldn't be surprised to see a new move from Mr Royal here tonight. However only a few people are good enough to make someone submit with such an elementary hold and Mr Royal is one of them..."
David Saturn-"I'm certain that even Royal isn't that deluded. Its a hold designed to wear down not to cause unbearable pain..."
Sho fights off with elbows to the face and ribs. Sho delivers another chop...Royal really does not like them wincing loudly at the impact! Another chop by Sho and then he goes to whip Royal into the corner. Royal reverses whipping Sho back first into the corner with tremendous force. Royal clearly has decided to target the back as he follows that up with a backbreaker.
Neal Steal-"See that Mr Royal is focusing on the back..."
David Saturn-"That might be good strategy...maybe Sho has had a back injury in the past Royal could be exploiting that..."
Neal Steal-"Well you should know you're supposed to be doing the play by play research..."
David Saturn-"Preparation you mean there's no such thing as play by play research...you're either a natural or you're not..."
Cover by Royal...1,2...and kickout by Sho who rises to his feet. Uppercut by Royal followed up by a hard shot to the jaw. Another punch to the face then he places Sho onto the top rope perhaps he is looking for a suplex? Royal clearly is looking for a belly to belly superplex as Sho tries to fight it off connecting with an elbow.
Neal Steal-"Heard Sho claiming that Mr Royal looked shaky last week. So why is he resorting to desperation tactics like elbows then..."
David Saturn-"Those are solid, well timed elbows its not like he's just wildly flailing away at Royal..."
Neal Steal-"Look at Mr Royal's awareness..."
Punches by Sho and Royal is knocked to the mat. Royal is wise enough to roll far enough away so that Sho cannot reach him with any aerial move. Sho is slow however to climb down and Ryal charges forward once again going for a belly to belly! Sho once again shoves Royal back to the mat but Royal is up with lightning quickness!
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Sheer persistence by Mr Royal! Refusing to take no for an answer!"
David Saturn-"Absolutely. I think Sho knows he is facing a real battle here and Royal is on fire tonight..."
Neal Steal-"About time you paid Mr Royal a compliment..."
David Saturn-"I've always said he was a great athlete I just don't think he's much of a human being..."
Neal Steal-"He's an extraordinary human being and you are jealous like this crowd here in Stamford..."
Royal goes for the move again and delivers it! Sheer persistence there by Royal! Cover...1,2...and Sho kicks out! Royal yells at the referee in frustration accusing him of a slow count. Replays suggest it was fairly timed. Royal pulls Sho to his feet and calls Sho a "son of a bitch!" Sho suddenly goes for a superkick...
David Saturn-"I don't believe it! Surely the eloquent, sophisticated, wonderful Royal would not resort to cursing?"
Neal Steal-"Well Sho must have said something vulgar to him...the technical guys need to pick up this kind of thing..."
David Saturn-"I'm sure Sho did his talking this past week. He stayed in his locking room all evening while Royal was walking around relentlessly moaning at everybody..."
Neal Steal-"He was fed up of being asked to sign autographs every 10 seconds while preparing for 2 important matches..."
David Saturn-"He was right to condition himself for 2 matches but you say that like its a fact he's going to advance..."
...Royal however blocks it and applies an anklelock! Sho however rolls through...1,2...and Royal kicks out! Royal incensed is back up and nails Sho with a right hand. Sho responds with a chop and Royal once again yells out in pain upon impact! Punch by Royal in response and Sho with another chop!
Neal Steal-"Stop doing those chops!"
David Saturn-"Why are they hurting poor "Mr" Royal?"
Neal Steal-"No he just thinks such a move is uncultured..."
Sho with a punch then once again connects with a chop. Royal whips Sho off the ropes and as Sho rebounds he connects with a flying clothesline! Sho leaps right back up but Royal surprises him again with his quicknes and grabs the leg! Anklelock again by Royal but Sho quickly kicks him away. Royal charges...spinebuster by Sho!
David Saturn-"Jason Howard made that mistake last week running right into that spinebuster a couple of times..."
Neal Steal-"Sho has only utilised that move once in this contest...look at Mr Royal...he's so brave and strong getting right back to his feet!"
David Saturn-"Well what goes up...must come down!"
Royal is tougher than he looks and is right back up. Sho however knocks him right back down with a clothesline! Sho then goes for the top rope and flies off with an elbowdrop! Royal at the last second moves out of the way! Royal pulls himself up to his feet and curses at the crowd who have been cheering wildly for Sho since the second he came out.
David Saturn-"The crowd telling Royal what they think of him..."
Neal Steal-"We will see who's laughing when the night is over..."
David Saturn-"I don't see anyone in the crowd laughing just simply telling him that they believe he sucks..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal does not suck..."
David Saturn-"You're right...he blows!"
Neal Steal-"Don't be vulgar..."
Royal makes a gesture to his waist obviously stating he will be the one who has the belt by the time this night is over. Royal goes for the LIGHTS OUT....but Sho counters into a roll up! Royal immediately counters that into an anklelock! Sho frantically tries to get to the ropes...but then rolls onto his back trying to kick Royal away again.
Neal Steal-"Look at Sho he knows if Mr Royal applies that anklelock he will be forced to submit within a matter of seconds..."
David Saturn-"Or quite possibly does not want an ankle injury going into the main event...and unlike you Steal I think this match could go either way..."
Royal however is ready for it and keeps the hold locked on! Even if Sho escapes this the last thing he needs is a badly injured ankle if he goes on to face Slick next! Royal has this solidly locked on but Sho fights, and fights...and reaches the ropes! Royal again curses out loud almost at the point of tears from frustration.
David Saturn-"Royal looks like he's about to have a breakdown..."
Neal Steal-"I think he got poked in the eye..."
David Saturn-"Oh shut up!"
Sho then charges at Royal who has pulled himself up in the corner. Royal moves and Sho knocks the referee down! The ref is not badly hurt but Royal now has the chance to resort to some kind of dastardly act...and he reaches down into his trunks pulling out a pair of brass knucks! Sho turns around and Royal nails him with the knucks!
David Saturn-"Oh COME ON!"
Neal Steal-"What a right hand by Mr Royal! How did he get so much force behind that blow..."
David Saturn-"Because he has brass kuncks on his hand don't pretend you didn't see that...not sure why Royal placed them in Sho's trunks maybe he's a bit disorientated..."
For some reason Royal places the knucks into Sho's tights before making the cover. The ref is back up...1,2...and Sho kicks out! Royal looks pissed and nails Sho with a couple of right hands then again goes for the LIGHTS OUT! Sho however slips down Royal's back, spins him around and....ITTTTTTTSSSSSSSSS.......SHOTIME!!!
Sho makes the cover...1,2...3!!! What a match!
David Saturn-"Sho wins! Your hero is eliminated Steal..."
Neal Steal-"This is not fair! There's a clear conspiracy against Mr Royal here! Look at Sho's arrogance here..."
David Saturn-Who you rooting for in the final then Steal? Sho or Slick ha ha ha!"
Sho raises his arms in the air wildly celebrating his win as his music plays. He might be getting ahead of himself considering there's one more match to go but who can blame him this was a hell of a contest! Sho climbs to the top rope arms raised as Royal has pulled himself up to a sitting position. Royal tries to get the referees attention and begins pointing to his jaw...
David Saturn-"Wait a moment..."
Neal Steal-"Look at Sho too arrogant for the ref to raise his hand..."
David Saturn-"No look at Royal he's getting the refs attention..."
The referee walks towards Sho and taps his arm across his back trying to get Sho's attention. Sho shrugs him away wanting the moment for himself instead of having his hand raised. Royal continues pointing to his jaw as Sho drops to the floor. Sho looks confused as the ref starts to admonish him then the ref starts to feel Sho's trunks.
David Saturn-"Sho does not like being felt in that manner..."
Neal Steal-"He's concealing something! Look at that he had brass knuckles hidden down there!"
Unsurprisingly Sho looks a little irritated by this as the ref seems to have felt something. He tells Sho to reach into his trunks. Sho does so and pulls out the knucks! Either those trunks are very thick or Sho is so pumped with adrenaline that he did not realise Royal had placed them there! Sho begins protesting furiously but the ref rings the bell!
David Saturn-"OH COME ON!"
Neal Steal-"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Cheaters get what they deserve! He had brass knuckles in his trunks..."
David Saturn-"Because Royal put them there! Its obvious why now...Royal did not think he was going to beat Sho! So he resorted to this pathetic act..."
Neal Steal-"Sho had an illegal object and he got caught!"
David Saturn-"You're ludicrous...you saw Royal use them like everyone else!"
The ref then goes over to Royal and raises his hand! The crowd erupt with boos and it looks like we might just have a near riot situation developing here. Sho looks incensed with rage and charges at Royal delivering the DROP OF DESTINY!!! Sho then crouches down and spits right in Royal's face! Referees come down and escort Sho from the ring as the crowd begin throwing garbage at Royal.
David Saturn-"Well we might not get a main event here...this crowd is going berserk...and I don't blame them either..."
Neal Steal-"Pathetic from the crowd...what a bunch of sore losers! Mr Royal is the best! Deal with it!"
David Saturn-"Fans fighting with security...this is getting out of hand..."
Security are at ringside trying to calm things down as a few fans jump the barricade trying to get to Royal. A brawl breaks out in the front row as Royal slowly tries to pull himself to his feet. The fans trying to get to Royal are yelling out language vulgar even by AWR standards. David Saturn gets to his feet listening to something in his earpience and grabs the mic...
Neal Steal-"What are you doing?"
David Saturn-"Ladies and gentlemen I have just been informed that this match will now be no disqualification!"
Neal Steal-"You don't have the authority to make such a decision..."
David Saturn-"I didn't make the decision you imbecile! Someone backstage has made that call...I think its been done as a means of crowd control!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal did not sign up for a no disqualification match..."
Steal is on his feet as well his neck showing no effects of his supposed neck injury. Steal yells at the ring announcer who protests he was only doing what he has been told through his earpiece. Perhaps the no DQ has been done as a last resort to try and calm the crowd down as they looked ready to lynch Royal.
Neal Steal-"Oh no!"
David Saturn-"Here he comes! Slick Doctor is coming for the belt!"
Neal Steal-"This is not fair! Mr Royal has not even had 5 minutes to breathe while Slick has had at least 30 minutes rest..."
Suddenly Slick's music starts playing and he rushes towards the ring! Royal closes his eyes in clear frustration and dread then begins cursing at the ring announcer. Royal rolls to the outside and grabs a chair as Slick makes his way down the ramp. Royal charges at Slick with the chair in hand, Slick ducks and kicks Royal in the ribs.
David Saturn-"Slick looking to end this early!"
Neal Steal-"Thought he was all about putting on a show for the fans?"
David Saturn-"You're damn right he is and beating Royal in record time would send these fans home happy! Slick has managed to calm the crowd down with his sheer presence..."
Neal Steal-"Who would have thought that with all the violent brawls Slop has started..."
Royal drops the chair and Slick scoops Royal up looking to end this one right away with the DOC-TORE DRIVER! Slick looks tired from his earlier match but Royal looks exhausted. Somehow Royal counters and rolls Slick up...1,2...and Slick kicks out. Stomp by Royal and an elbowdrop...1,2...and Slick kicks out again. Slow methodical stomps now by Royal...
David Saturn-"These men are being tested like never before..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal is such a warrior. Fa Sho tried to cheat, Slop came charging out here and Mr Royal never complains..."
David Saturn-"Just shut up god damn it!"
Royal looks breathless but there is still some venom behind those stomps. Royal then perhaps taking a page out of FA Sho's book pulls Slick to his feet and begins delivering chops. Royal goes for a whip attempt, reversed by Slick who rebounds and catches Royal with a flying elbow! Slick then begins pounding on Royal maybe not as relentless as in his earlier bout.
David Saturn-"Don't know whether this will be an all time classic...these men are exhausted. It takes a lot longer than 30 minutes to recover Slick is just as tired as Royal is..."
Neal Steal-"Look at that announcer with that sixpack under his table...first he announces Sho's name with clear favourtism now he thinks Slop is going to have a victory party..."
Royal pulled to his feet and whipped into the turnbuckle...Slick follows up with a clothesline! Punches by Slick but the ref breaks it up. Slick then charges at Royal and takes him down with a hard shoulder charge! Slick now pounding on Royal with energy increasing behind each one...these men are so well conditioned.
David Saturn-"What aggression by Slick here! He's not an angry bitter man like Royal but I know he wants that title more than anything in the world!"
Neal Steal-"Disqualify him!"
David Saturn-"It was made no DQ! Fool!"
Royal rammed head first into the turnbuckle TEN successive times! Some real aggression here by Slick who does not stop at ten! The ref then breaks it up quite forcefully...considering this is no DQ there is only so much he can do. That might have been a DQ in a normal contest and suddenly Slick looks for the DOC-TORE DRIVER again!
Neal Steal-"Look at Slop he's panicking...probably in his drunken dreams he's seen himself pinning Mr Royal with that move...drunks are delusional..."
David Saturn-"Royal better watch out! Ouch that was a cold, hard landing!"
Royal slips away and rolls onto the apron. Royal pulls himself up on the ropes but Slick charges sending Royal crashing hard to the floor! Steal yells at Slick who is too occupied with Royal to notice...or maybe care. Slick backs Royal into the barricade and begins delivering similar chops to what Sho kept delivering earlier.
David Saturn-"The crowd reacting to everyone of those chops!"
Neal Steal-"Making that tedious wooooooo sound..."
Royal really does not like those chops! He hates them! Royal drops to his knees but Slick pulls him back up and continues to chop Royal. This would have been a countout by now under the normal rules. Slick scoops Royal up and drops him neck first across the barricade. Royal is hanging over the barricade and Slick yanks him hard pulling Royal hard to the floor.
David Saturn-"That is going to mess up Royal's good looks!"
Neal Steal-"Love that wouldn't you? People like you and Slick are so bitter about how you look you take pleasure in seeing good looking guys disfigured..."
Slick then rams Royal face first into the ringpost. Slick repeats the move then suddenly Slick pulls up the protective mats exposing the concrete. Slick has never been above bending the rules in a standard match particularly with those he does not respect. He certainly wouldn't be beyond executing a move on the concrete here.
Neal Steal-"This is not fair! Animal!"
David Saturn-"Slick will do what it takes...he does not have an ounce of respect for Royal. He thins Royal is scum like the majority in this arena..."
Slick turns his attention back to Royal who connects with a blow to the ribs. Royal picks up a chair and bashes Slick across the back with it. Royal then begins breaking up the announce table but keeps his eyes on Slick punching him in the face as he gets to his feet. Steal is clapping wildly yelling at Saturn to get out of the way.
Neal Steal-"Get out of the way Saturn! Come on Mr Royal break him in half! Remember what he did to me!"
David Saturn-"As if Royal gives a toss about that when he's trying to win the title..."
Royal pulls Slick up onto the commentators table. Royal looks like he is going for the LIGHTS OUT on the table but Slick fights it off with shots to the ribs. Slick then for the third time in the match goes for the DOC-TORE DRIVER but Royal grabs Slick's legs and applies a half boston crab! A submission would count here in the unlikely event Slick taps...
David Saturn-"Royal does not have the space to apply that fully..."
Neal Steal-"I've always said these tables are too small..."
David Saturn-"I thought that was because you didn't have room to put your feet up?"
Royal isn't able to apply the move fully and Slick shoves Royal off sending him to the floor. Royal grabs his back in pain and Slick delivers a fisherman suplex on the exposed concrete! Royal's back must be killing him now and Slick rolls Royal into the ring. The crowd are going crazy for Slick sensing the end is near...
Neal Steal-"Oh no Mr Royal is hurt!"
David Saturn-"Concrete like kryptonite for your beloved superhero is it?"
Slick backs Royal into the corner then whips him to the opposite side. Royal steps aside at the lasts second and Slick crashes shoulder first into the ringpost! Great sidestep by Royal and maybe a little too relentless by Slick there...still considering how tired these men must be it is incredible they are still fighting here.
David Saturn-"Slick making an error there..."
Neal Steal-"The margin between greatness and mediocrity..."
Royal rams Slick hard into the ringpost again and then punches him in the ribs. Chops now by Royal and then an uppercut. Royal whips Slick towards the ropes and Slick halts his momentum by grabbing them. Royal was looking for a dropkick and tried to execute the move but that was uncharacteristically horrible timing. You can't really blame him in the circumstances...
David Saturn-"Margin because greatness and mediocrity you say? That's one of the worst timed moves I've ever seen!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal slipped...they probably haven't cleaned that canvas properly after that pathetic celebration you did last week..."
Slick grabs Royal's legs and catapults him face first into the turnbuckle! Clothesline by Slick as Royal staggers backwards! Cover by Slick...1,2...and Royak kicks out. Royal suddenly wraps himself around Slick and applies an armbar. Royal is trying to break Slick's arm here and places his legs across the middle rope for leverage.
Neal Steal-"Break his arm Mr Royal! Snap it like a twig!"
David Saturn-"Royal more or less threatened to end Slick's career here tonight...he has held a grudge against Slick ever since Slick saved Flammenkrieg from a vicious beating..."
The ref sees but what can he do? Someone made this match no disqualification...Slick is not going to give up to an armbar but he is being worn down. The referee shoves Royal's legs off the ropes provoking a furious outburst by Royal. Even though this is no DQ the refs will still make some attempts to prevent such tactics...
Neal Steal-"He had no right to do that! Its no DQ!"
David Saturn-"Its only no DQ when it suits you then is it?"
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! What courage, what strength by Mr Royal to perform that picture perfect suplex!"
Knee to the face by Royal followed by a belly to belly suplex. Royal then goes to the top rope and dives off presumably looking for the double axe handle. Slick however catches him with a right hand to the ribs! Royal rammed head first into the ringpost followed up with more chops. Royal whipped off the ropes, rebounds...back body drop by Slick!
David Saturn-"Slick will not submit...he would have to pass out from the pain..."
Neal Steal-"If that is what's needed Mr Royal will do it...no amount of alcohol can knock this idiot out but a torturous submission will!"
Royal however somehow lands on his feet and rolls Slick up and applies a boston crab! Royal has it locked in and lets out a primal yell of rage. Slick frantically crawls for the ropes and finally reaches it. The ref once again breaks it up and retreats as Royal looks like he is going to punch him. Royal keeps his cool knowing he can't take his eyes off Slick now...
David Saturn-"Royal threatening the ref...some role model..."
Neal Steal-"Severe provocation..."
Kicks and stomps now by Royal...blocked by Slick, whips Royal off the ropes and Royal goes for a flying crossbody! Slick ducks and Royal takes out the referee! Punches by Slick, whip off the ropes and a flying elbow knocks Slick down. Slick goes to pull Royal to his feet and Royal nails Slick with a low blow!
David Saturn-"Damn it!"
Neal Steal-"No disqualification Saturn! No disqualification!"
David Saturn-"Royal has that predatory look in his eye..."
Royal then measures Slick up and connects with the ROYAL MUTILATION! He isn't able to make the cover and yells at the referee to get up. Steal is yelling at the ref to get up and Royal goes to ringside. Royal calls for a chair and Steal quickly vacates his seat. Royal grabs the chair threatening to hit Saturn with it as he protests.
Neal Steal-"What a honor it would now be to see Mr Royal win with my chair!"
David Saturn-"God you're pathetic..."
Royal goes into the ring and places the chair on the mat. Royal lifts Slick up looking like he is going to try and piledrive Slick on the chair. Royal scoops Slick up, Slick suddenly counters into the SLICK STRETCH! The ref is back in the ring and suddenly Steal is up on the apron! The ref is distracted by Steal and Royal is tapping!
Neal Steal-"NO! This is not fair!"
David Saturn-"Where are you going! Get back down here? Royal is tapping...THAT PIECE OF CRAP!"
Suddenly Saturn pulls Steal down from the apron! Steal yells at Saturn but the years of hatred between these two has finally come to a head here! Saturn screams at Steal and nails him with a right hand! The ref tries to break it up and Slick goes to the outside as Saturn is stomping the hell out of Steal! Good god Saturn is kicking Steal's ass here!
Slick walks over and begins joining in! Both men are stomping the hell out of Steal! Suddenly Royal comes to the outside and nails Saturn with the chair! Saturn is out cold! He then nails Slick in the ribs with the chair and rolls him back into the ring as the ref quickly kicks the chair to the outside. Royal goes to whip Slick off the ropes and both men go for a flying clothesline.
They crash into each other head first with a sickening collision! Suddenly the crowd erupt...ITS HELL!!! With all this action the crowd had almost forgotten his threats earlier! Hell has his baseball bat in hand. Both men are climbing to their feet...Hell is in the ring. Hell charges forward...and swings the bat with incredible force!
At the last second Royal ducks and Hell nails Slick with the bat instead! The bat flies out of Hell's hands such was the momentum. Hell curses out loud at his mistake but takes his eyes off Royal who picks up in the bat. Royal drives the bat head first into Hell's head sending him toppling over the top rope...
Royal then covers Slick who is knocked out cold! The ref makes the cover...1,2...3!!!
The scene is one of pandemonium. Both commentators on the floor, one man knocked out cold and a 7 foot monster trying to pull himself to his feet. The camera however zooms in on Anthony Royal as the ref hands him what is truly now his belt. The crowd erupt with boos...despite the disgraceful tactics Royal has pulled off here tonight it has been a show of endurance the likes of which we might never seen again.
Royal on his knees raises the belt above his head in triumph! What a night this has been! Who knows what carnage might be unleashed in the aftermatch next week on AWR CRASH Tv! The camera briefly focuses on a pissed off Hell but the final shot is of Anthony Royal...the new AWR CHAMPION!!!
Yes its me Hell and I am back!! I am not going to waste a lot of time here and I am going to get right to the core of the problem.
Hell smirks!!
The problem being one Anthony Royal. I am only going to warn you but once. I am back and I swear to the fires of hell itself if you so much as stick your nose in any of my matches I will cripple you for good.....and that includes Silvio Megala if he shows his face! Not once but twice I had that sorry sack of shit defeated and both times you decided to protect that little Bitch each time. Well Megala and Royal it is time for a new era.......mine!! Silvio I don't give a fuck whether Royal is your hand picked champion anymore or if you even want to be associated with him! You will still pay for what you did to me!
Hell turns and looks deeply into the camera.
Royal I am going to say one thing you got real lucky against Dustin weaver last week who in my mind should have had his hand raised in victory against you. It is not you that should be going on to the tournament it is indeed Dustin weaver. Royal my intent is to destroy you and Megala and I will do just that. I will interfere in every match you have Royal and i will cost you in anyway I can and if you don't believe me you better watch your back Royal. There are more wrestlers in this arena that are far more deserving then you are starting with Dustin Weaver. Fa sho and Slick Doctor just to name a few. Royal when i get down with you and Silvio Megala your names will only be known as mid carders even if it means my own destruction!!!
Hell tosses down the Mic and leaves.
David Saturn-"My God! What a start to tonights broadcast where we will see the conclusion of the deadly game tournament!"
Neal Steal-"This is a disgrace! The last thing Mr Royal needs tonight is to be threatened by this maniac! I thought you said last week the AWR couldn't contact him?"
David Saturn-"Well nobody could but it looks like somebody contacted him this past week! That is unless he has simply decided to show up of his own accord!"
Neal Steal-"Then gets security and remove him then!"
David Saturn-"Who's going to try and remove a guy like Hell from the building! Wait a moment we have something going on backstage now...Al what's going on?"
The scene cuts backstage where we see Al Walters standing with mic in hand. We can hear some yelling off camera followed by a loud bang which sounds like furniture being thrown...
Al Walters-"There's a commotion going on backstage here David I'm going to find out what its all about!"
Al walks down the corridor where we see Anthony Royal and Megala Enterprises Executive Roberto Maggia yelling at each other. We aren't close enough to hear what they are saying as both men notice Al approaching the door.
Al Walters-"Could I catch a quick word with you 2 gentlemen please?"
Roberto swiftly slams the door in Walters face.
Al Walters-"I'll take that as a no then."
The camera cuts back to Saturn and Steal.
David Saturn-"What the hell was that all about?"
Neal Steal-"It looked like young Roberto Maggia was yelling at Mr Royal there...I'm not sure Mr Megala will be thrilled with that...still Roberto is only 18 he's learning on the job..."
David Saturn-"Well for whatever reason it seems a rift might have developed. Why else would Silvio not have handed Royal the title?"
Neal Steal-"Like I said Mr Megala is simply very busy. Once Mr Royal realises how much money must be involved he will understand why Mr Megala has been distracted..."
David Saturn-"Well we know one thing for sure that will never change and that is Megala putting money before everything else! We will be back in just a moment with our opening bout!"
********************************************************************************************************
AWR DEADLY GAME
NIGHT 2
VS
From Portland, Oregon...Gunner...HUGHES!!!
David Saturn-"Well here comes Gunner Hughes who impressed us so much last week...hit seems he has let his destruction of Zane Byers speak for itself as he has been unwilling to talk since then..."
Neal Steal-"Well he appears to be a very humble man Saturn...unlike this idiot who put his hands on me last week!"
David Saturn-"Well that's what you get for putting your hands on him isn't it!"
From Springfield, Massachusetts...Slick...DOCTOR!!!
Neal Steal-"Come on Gunner kick his ass! Remember what he did to me!"
David Saturn-"Why would Gunner give a rats ass about you? You have never exchanged a word!"
Neal Steal-"Well he may have heard my kind compliments towards him last week..."
David Saturn-"Not everybody wants a personal ass kisser Steal. I don't particularly like Gunner's attitude at all or his line of work but he's definitely here for only one thing tonight! That is the prize right over there by the time keeper's table..."
Neal Steal-"They should have given it to me I don't trust that timekeeper to keep his eyes on that belt...someone might try and grab it...worth a lot of money that is..."
As Gunner enters the ring Slick does not take his eyes away from him. Clearly despite last weeks display from Gunner this is still very much a case of walking into the unexpected. Can Gunner do to a legend of the ring like Slick what he did to Zane Byers? We are about to find out! Slick charges at Gunner and both men engage in a hell of a fistfight!
David Saturn-"Slick certainly wasn't silent this past week...we saw him in a bar..."
Neal Steal-"Surprise, surprise..."
David Saturn-"He was looking for Megala actually..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Megala would not own a bar facility. He owns office skyscrapers, mansions and exclusive restaurants amongst his vast property portfolio..."
David Saturn-"Does he still own any yachts or did that pirate hijack a few years ago put him off?"
Neal Steal-"Don't mention those pirates...remember how they held me hostage?"
David Saturn-"I do indeed! One of my most cherished memories...shame it didn't last longer!"
After a few moments Slick begins getting the better of the initial exchanges. Clearly Hughes will know now that he is for a far tougher test of his credentials. Gunner is being pounded in the corner but suddenly he grabs Slick by the throat and turns the tables! Slick is backed against the turnbuckle and Gunner unleashes four ferocious uppercuts!
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Look at Gunner pounding him like the sloppy drunk he is!"
David Saturn-"Gunner's a sloppy drunk?"
Neal Steal-"Shut up Saturn you know full well who I was referring to..."
David Saturn-"Slick has taken numerous pool cues and glasses to the jaw in some of his legendary bar fights...he certainly does not have the glass jaw Zane Byers had..."
Slick to his credit stays on his feet after the first 3 shots but the fourth sends him to the ground. Slick leaps back to his feet but another uppercut by Gunner knocks him right back down. Gunner pulls Slick to his feet and whips him off the ropes. Gunner lowers his head looking for a back body drop but Slick connects with a dropkick to the head!
Neal Steal-"Slick...I mean Slop...might not be in any bar this upcoming week. I should sue him for assault he might be up in court facing me..."
David Saturn-"What type of lawyer would be stupid enough to take on that case? You hit him first there is clear visual evidence?
Neal Steal-"After he poured that cheap commercial beer on me..."
David Saturn-"Pouring beer on someone does not count as assault!"
Clearly Slick has scouted Gunner recognising that he performed the move on Byers last week. Gunner was too obvious there and with a veteran like Slick you won't get away with that. Hard clothesline by Slick sends Gunner to the mat! Elbowdrop to the throat as the crowd erupt cheering like crazy for everything Slick does.
David Saturn-"I don't care how many cage fights Gunner has had he has never faced a more accomplished athlete than what he's facing here tonight..."
Neal Steal-"In his prime maybe but Slop is washed up..."
David Saturn-"He is not! Slick is well conditioned...I don't quite know how he manages it considering how much he drinks but he is!"
3 more elbowdrops by Slick and then he begins pounding on Gunner! A ferocious flurry of offence by Slick here and Gunner seemingly has no answer to it! Gunner pulled to his feet, whipped off the ropes and Slick with a kick to the ribs. Slick then goes for the DOC-TORE DRIVER realising that a quick win would be very much to his benefit on this evening.
Neal Steal-"Look at Slop going for his finisher...thought he wanted to entertain the fans? So why is he trying to end this early then..."
David Saturn-"Because he has another match coming up you fool...that is if he beats Gunner here tonight..."
Neal Steal-"You think Gunner Hughes is going to lose don't you? That tone in your voice you think he will lose..."
David Saturn-"I did not say he would lose but beating some nobody last week does not make him a made man! Slick however is legendary..."
Neal Steal-"If you can call being a disgusting drunkard admirable..."
Gunner however blocks it then rolls to the outside evidently requiring a breather. Gunner looks flustered perhaps realising that he has never fought anyone on Slick's level before. If Gunner is capable of raising his game to that level we are about to find out! Unlike last week however Gunner has lost concentration and Slick dives to the outside with a flying clothesline!
Neal Steal-"Gunner is being clever here trying to lure Slop into a false sense of security..."
David Saturn-"Well if that's the case...which I very much doubt...he's certainly doing a convincing job of it!"
Slick pulls Gunner to his feet and rams him face first into the steps. He then repeats the same move only this time sending Gunner crashing in shoulder first! Gunner whipped into the barricade and then has his head rammed into it head first. Slick rolls the stunned Gunner back into the ring.
Neal Steal-"That's not fair! That is unfair on Gunner Hughes he is new to wrestling and Slop is cheating..."
David Saturn-"No referee is going to disqualify someone for that...Slick isn't above bending the rules but that would not warrant a DQ..."
Neal Steal-"Ha ha! Slop a step behind there...he's washed up Saturn the booze is finally going to his head!"
Slick however is a little slow getting back into the ring. A rare mistake as Gunner is back on his feet and drives his fist into Slick's head. More punches follow and then Gunner begins to stomp on Slick who tries to pull himself up in the corner. Gunner kneels down and begins to choke Slick until the ref forces him to break the hold.
Neal Steal-"If Slop can use that barricade then Gunner is entitled to use that chokehold..."
David Saturn-"...and the ref is entitled to break it up at the 4 count which he is now doing..."
Hard knee to the face by Gunner followed up by a hard shot to the jaw. Gunner pulls Slick to his feet, whip attempt reversed by Slick, Gunner rebounds ducking a clothesline but on the second rebound Slick catches him with a flying elbow! Slick pounds on Gunner with rights and lefts then drags Gunner into the corner by his legs.
David Saturn-"Slick now looking to deprive Gunner of his lethal weapon...those kicks! They were almost like gunshots last week such was the force of them..."
Neal Steal-"Once again Slop has to resort to unfair tactics unbefitting of a champion...and he will not be the champion! Gunner Hughes has dominated the majority of this match..."
David Saturn-"Oh shut up! What planet are you on have you even be watching this closely?"
Slick goes to the outside and pulls Gunner's legs towards the ringpost. Slick slams Gunners leg into the ringpost multiple times! After the explosive kicks by Gunner last week this is great strategy by Slick to try and take out the legs. Not a bad idea of course trying to ground your opponent in general!
David Saturn-"You seem to be rubbing your neck a lot tonight Steal..."
Neal Steal-"Because of that brutal move Slop did on me last week! Its a credit I've shown up here tonight you needed a week off when Mr Royal gave you that deserved beating..."
David Saturn-"He did one move on you unlike Royal who pretty much kicked my ass...and you needed a week off when Flammenkrieg kicked your ass!"
Neal Steal-"Don't mention that maniac...last thing we need is him showing up anytime soon with one unpleasant surprise already tonight..."
David Saturn-"That surprise being Hell if you are tuning in...and the fans were very pleased to see him..."
The ref orders Slick to stop and Gunner staggers to his feet. Gunner is clearly showing the effects of the pounding his leg just took and Slick gets back into the ring. Slick with a chopblock targeted at the knee. Slick then grabs Gunner's legs clearly looking for a submission but Gunner showing his tremendous kicking ability powers out of the attempt and the force sends Slick through the ropes to the outside.
Neal Steal-"He's a cage fighter and he's never submitted! What does Slop know about submission?"
David Saturn-"One if his finishers is a submission hold you fool...as you know full well!"
Neal Steal-"Come on Gunner...that's good break his back! Pound him!"
Gunner exits the ring and jumps off the apron with a clubbing blow to Slick's back. Slick pulled to his feet and rammed hard chest first into the steel steps! Gunner then lifts Slick up and drops him chest first across the barricade. Gunner obviously trying to knock the wind out of Slick but he has done well to keep up endurance wise thus far.
David Saturn-"I wonder if this is the longest Gunner has performed..."
Neal Steal-"He's younger, fitter and he's smashing the life out of Slop with these brutal stomps! That's right stomp him until he vomits...can't imagine how many ladies he's vomited on when he tries his disgusting, tired chat up material..."
David Saturn-"At least he's been with a woman...talking of performance what's the longest you have ever performed Steal...and I don't mean in the ring!"
Neal Steal-"Shut up!"
Stomps now by Gunner and then he chokes Slick with his boot. The ref breaks that up and Gunner rolls Slick back into the ring. Uppercuts by Gunner as Slick pulls himself up in the corner. Gunner then whips Slick into the opposite corner chest first. Slick drops to the mat as Gunner focuses on him with an icy glare.
David Saturn-"If this was a contest of ice cold glares Gunner would be the winner...but it isn't..."
Neal Steal-"He's simply focusing on his opponent...what's wrong with that?"
David Saturn-"I never said there's anything wrong with it did I?"
Gunner pulls Slick halfway to his feet and digs his fingers into Slick's forehead. Slick tries to protect his eyes and the ref breaks it up. Slick disorientated falls to the outside but gets back to his feet but is clearly struggling. Gunner is now outside the ring, spins Slick round and nails him with a brutal uppercut which sends Slick crumpling to the floor.
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Ha ha! Slop is falling around like its happy hour!"
David Saturn-"Who wouldn't fall to the ground after a shot like that?"
Neal Steal-"How can you question Gunner's conditioning when he unleashes shots like that..."
David Saturn-"I simply pointed out that he may not have been in a contest for this length of time! It is called a legitimate question something you wouldn't know a damn thing about!"
Awesome right hand by Gunner and Slick is rolled into the ring. This brawl is relentless and nobody can brawl quite like Slick aside from perhaps his old partner Big Bad B-Man. However Slick may have met his match with Gunner tonight. Gunner applies a chokehold engulfing Slick's neck and head with his arms.
Neal Steal-"200 beers a night might not be able to knock this idiot out but a chokehold from Gunner Hughes would!"
David Saturn-"He does not drink 200 beers a night...even Slick wouldn't be standing if he had that many!"
Neal Steal-"Slop is too stupid to know when to stay down. He isn't fighting to his feet out of spirit...he's probably too drunk to know what he's doing!"
David Saturn-"He knows full well what he's doing! Do you know what you're doing Steal? This thing in the ring its called wrestling you know?"
After a few worrying seconds however Slick shows signs of life and fights back up to his feet. Elbows to the ribs by Slick and a punch to the face breaks the hold. Slick then charges off the ropes but is met with a big boot to the face! Slick may have made a mistake there as Byers made the same mistake of charging at Gunner.
Neal Steal-"See Slop is underestimating Hughes not doing his research..."
David Saturn-"He is not underestimating him. Your beloved Royal did last week remember? That would be an interesting match to see...would Gunner lay down for Royal...I doubt it!"
Neal Steal-"So you're admitting that will be the main event..."
David Saturn-"Where the hell did I say that! Good God are you clinically deaf?"
The difference there of course is Byers did that early in the match under little pressure while this bout has been going on for several more minutes. Gunner lifts Slick up and delivers a hard powerslam! Elbowdrop by Gunner and Gunner unlike last week climbs to the top rope. Who knows he might be an aerial specialist...
Neal Steal-"See Gunner isn't one dimensional...he's probably going to do some triple moonsault on Slop here..."
David Saturn-"So much for a triple moonsault...still that was a very powerful clothesline not easy to knock Slick off his feet..."
Neal Steal-"Unless its beer..."
David Saturn-"Shut up about the damn beer! Why is that relevant to every single thing Slick does to people like you?"
Gunner flies off the top and connects with a flying clothesline! Gunner with the cover...1,2...and Slick kicks out! Gunner then applies another chokehold but Slick is quickly back to his feet elbowing Gunner in the ribs. Punches now by Slick but he's unable to knock Gunner down. Slick charges off the ropes looking for momentum...
Neal Steal-"That's like stumbling into a brick wall! Still I guess Slop staggers into lamp posts every night once he's finished his drinking..."
David Saturn-"Slick caught out by Gunner there!"
Neal Steal-"Crush his throat Gunner! Even Slop wouldn't like alcohol if it was fed to him through a straw!"
David Saturn-"The crowd really rallying behind Slick here..."
...Slick ducks a clothesline but as he charges back Gunner grabs him by the throat! Gunner lits Slick up with one hand and tosses him unceremoniously across the ring. Gunner however does not go for the cover which might be a foolish decision. Gunner perhaps wants to be sure about finishing Slick off and lifts him up going for another powerslam.
Neal Steal-"Cover him Gunner! Quick!"
David Saturn-"Not sure if that's a mistake or not...I think Gunner is right to try and make himself certain of victory...another powerslam like that would even have someone like Slick struggling to kick out!"
However Slick slips down Gunner's back landing on his feet! Slick spins Gunner round and kicks him in the ribs then goes for the DOC-TORE DRIVER! Gunner shoves Slick away, Slick rebounds off the ropes, ducks a big boot and as Gunner turns around Slick delivers the DOC-TORE DRIVER on the third attempt!
Slick with the cover, hooks the leg...1,2...3!!!
WINNER BY PINFALL: SLICK DOCTOR
Neal Steal-"What a fluke! Someone must have told Slop he was fighting for a lifetime supply of beer here tonight. He really rolled back the years but he won't do that against Mr Royal..."
David Saturn-"Or Fa Sho..."
Neal Steal-"Fa Sho is simply part of the supporting cast! This night is all about the lead star and that is Mr Royal! I expected a little better from Gunner Hughes here..."
David Saturn-"So now you're admonishing him because he lost? Slick was the better man pure and simple...we will be back in a few moments for what may well be a classic! Two athletes in their prime years...Fa Sho and Anthony Royal!"
******************************************************
VS
From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...Anthony...ROYAL!!!
Neal Steal-"What is this all about?"
David Saturn-"Well its your hero Steal..."
Neal Steal-"Why is Mr Royal being made to come out first. Champions should not have to come to the ring first..."
David Saturn-"Because to point out the obvious you moron...he isn't the champion!"
Neal Steal-"Well when Mr Megala isn't so busy he may well declare this tournament null and void...that is of course in the highly unlikely event Mr Royal does not emerge victorious..."
David Saturn-"Not as confident as you're trying to make out are you? Careful you might just end up like his former agent...hopefully"
Neal Steal-"That agent was useless..."
From St Louis, Missouri...Kris...Fa Shooooooooooooooo...DESTINY!!!
David Saturn-"What an ovation for Fa Sho!"
Neal Steal-"That ring announcer was showing favortism there did you hear the emphasis he put on Fa Sho's name compared to Mr Royal..."
David Saturn-"No doubt he's going to get his chair, enter the ring and bash Royal with it right? You're paranoid!"
Neal Steal-"I would not be worried if it wasn't for that maniac Hell...the mans a nutcase who knows what he could do..."
As Sho enters the ring Royal keeps nervously looking over his shoulder obviously wary of the threats a 7 foot monster made towards him earlier tonight! Royal then charges at Sho looking for a clothesline. Sho ducks the attempt and delivers a hard chop to the chest. Another chop and Sho with a headlock takedown.
Neal Steal-"How dare Fa Sho condone what that drunk did to me last week!"
David Saturn-"He's only saying what 99.9 percent of viewers agree with...the 0.1 being idiots like that guy over there with the Neal Steal sign. First time for everything..."
This is good strategy by Sho trying to wear Royal down but also knowing that he could very well have another match here tonight. Its sometimes about conserving energy and Slick despite his win may well have damaged his chances with that ferocious fast packed brawling style. After a few moments Royal fights up to his knees then to his feet.
Neal Steal-"Can't blame Fa Sho for being cautious...the slightest mistake against Mr Royal would be punished in a heartbeat..."
David Saturn-"Same applying if Royal makes a mistake...I've never disputed Royal is world class at what he does in the ring...its just unfortunate he chooses the tactics he does..."
Neal Steal-"As Mr Royal put it the cream rises to the top...can't help jealousy from the likes of you Saturn..."
Royal shoves Sho away, Sho charges back off the ropes and knocks Royal down with a clothesline! Snapmare by Sho into an armbar. Sho then switches to a headlock but Royal powers back up to his feet again. Sho backed into the corner and Royal drives his head hard into Sho's ribs. Not exactly the sophisticated technical wrestling we usually see from Royal.
David Saturn-"Royal looked out of sorts this past week..."
Neal Steal-"He will be changing his hairdressers..."
David Saturn-"Both men kind of cautious too since it is the first time they have faced off...ever"
Royal however might be unsure what strategy to take knowing that the longer this match goes on it is more likely hell will be unleashed...literally! Royal drives his head into Sho's ribs again then punches him in the face. Hard kicks to the midsection by Royal now followed up by more punches. Suddenly Sho grabs Royal and slams him into the corner!
Neal Steal-"Surprised you're kissing up to Fa Sho he didn't think your beloved Slick was much of a threat..."
David Saturn-"Well he may have changed his mind after Slick got the job done with Gunner earlier..."
Neal Steal-"Still calling himself the wonderful one...always had a massive ego Fa Sho has..."
David Saturn-"Oh shut up! Its not even half the size what Royal's is..."
Chops by Sho as Royal moans out loud in discomfort. Royal whips Sho into the corner then makes the error of charging forward too fast. Sho raises his boot and Royal is staggered. Sho pulls himself up to the top rope and goes for a crossbody. Sho however is caught by Royal who delivers an overhead belly to belly suplex!
Neal Steal-"Yahoo!"
David Saturn-"Brutal suplex...Royal indeed has quite the variety of suplexes..."
Neal Steal-"Not to mention raw talent, athletic ability, charisma, good lucks and charm..."
David Saturn-"Memorise Royal's comments word for word do you?"
Royal pulls Sho up to his feet from behind and delivers a german suplex. Royal does not release his arms from Sho's body however and repeats the move! Royal hangs onto the waist and delivers a third german suplex...1,2...and Sho gets his shoulder up. Royal then applies a bodyscissors but suddenly goes for the surprise rollup...1,2...and Sho kicks out again.
David Saturn-"Both these men are so versatile...they can switch from technical to mat wrestling in a heartbeat..."
Neal Steal-"Just look at how clever Mr Royal is he almost got Fa Sho there..."
Royal is now stretching Sho and then the ref notices Sho's shoulders are down...1,2...and another kickout. Sho better be careful to keep his shoulders off the mat. Royal continues to stretch Sho and then wraps his legs around him. That might be a mistake by Royal as Sho almost counters into a pinning position.
David Saturn-"Clever by Fa Sho there as well..."
Neal Steal-"Simply copying Mr Royal's pinning attempt...not a bad idea to try and steal from the best but Mr Royal was ready for him..."
David Saturn-"If he's so unbeatable why would he feel the need to scout his opponents?"
Neal Steal-"Look at that rough house tactic by Fa Sho...we are seeing sophisticated wrestling from Mr Royal and Sho resorts to that..."
David Saturn-"Royal was the one driving his head into Sho's ribs earlier...and nothing wrong with that either..."
Royal sees what Sho is trying to do and fights it off. Sho then elbows Royal hard in the face multiple times. Royal's hold is broken and Sho follows him into the corner. Another hard chop by Sho who then goes to whip Royal to the opposite corner. Royal reverses it and Sho is whipped hard into the turnbuckle back first.
David Saturn-"Royal looks like he's losing it..."
Neal Steal-"He's got every right to be a bit upset..."
Sho is then whipped hard into the turnbuckle again as Royal has a crazed look in his eyes. Royal goes for a backdrop but Sho blocks in mid air and counters into a DDT! Awesome counter but Sho is unable to make the cover immediately still feeling the effects of being whipped hard into the turnbuckle. Sho then drapes an arm across...1,2...and Royal gets his shoulder up.
Neal Steal-"You're not going to beat Mr Royal that easily!"
David Saturn-"Its called trying to wear down your opponent...Sho not giving Royal time to refocus here..."
Both men back to their feet and Sho with a swift shoulder charge knocking Royal back down. Sho charges but Royal pulls down the middle rope and Sho falls to the outside. Royal follows and delivers a neckbreaker to Sho on the floor! Royal rolls Sho back into the ring and applies a rear chinlock.
David Saturn-"Rear chinlock by Royal...I'm sure you will be portraying that as some kind of exotic new submission hold Steal..."
Neal Steal-"I wouldn't be surprised to see a new move from Mr Royal here tonight. However only a few people are good enough to make someone submit with such an elementary hold and Mr Royal is one of them..."
David Saturn-"I'm certain that even Royal isn't that deluded. Its a hold designed to wear down not to cause unbearable pain..."
Sho fights off with elbows to the face and ribs. Sho delivers another chop...Royal really does not like them wincing loudly at the impact! Another chop by Sho and then he goes to whip Royal into the corner. Royal reverses whipping Sho back first into the corner with tremendous force. Royal clearly has decided to target the back as he follows that up with a backbreaker.
Neal Steal-"See that Mr Royal is focusing on the back..."
David Saturn-"That might be good strategy...maybe Sho has had a back injury in the past Royal could be exploiting that..."
Neal Steal-"Well you should know you're supposed to be doing the play by play research..."
David Saturn-"Preparation you mean there's no such thing as play by play research...you're either a natural or you're not..."
Cover by Royal...1,2...and kickout by Sho who rises to his feet. Uppercut by Royal followed up by a hard shot to the jaw. Another punch to the face then he places Sho onto the top rope perhaps he is looking for a suplex? Royal clearly is looking for a belly to belly superplex as Sho tries to fight it off connecting with an elbow.
Neal Steal-"Heard Sho claiming that Mr Royal looked shaky last week. So why is he resorting to desperation tactics like elbows then..."
David Saturn-"Those are solid, well timed elbows its not like he's just wildly flailing away at Royal..."
Neal Steal-"Look at Mr Royal's awareness..."
Punches by Sho and Royal is knocked to the mat. Royal is wise enough to roll far enough away so that Sho cannot reach him with any aerial move. Sho is slow however to climb down and Ryal charges forward once again going for a belly to belly! Sho once again shoves Royal back to the mat but Royal is up with lightning quickness!
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Sheer persistence by Mr Royal! Refusing to take no for an answer!"
David Saturn-"Absolutely. I think Sho knows he is facing a real battle here and Royal is on fire tonight..."
Neal Steal-"About time you paid Mr Royal a compliment..."
David Saturn-"I've always said he was a great athlete I just don't think he's much of a human being..."
Neal Steal-"He's an extraordinary human being and you are jealous like this crowd here in Stamford..."
Royal goes for the move again and delivers it! Sheer persistence there by Royal! Cover...1,2...and Sho kicks out! Royal yells at the referee in frustration accusing him of a slow count. Replays suggest it was fairly timed. Royal pulls Sho to his feet and calls Sho a "son of a bitch!" Sho suddenly goes for a superkick...
David Saturn-"I don't believe it! Surely the eloquent, sophisticated, wonderful Royal would not resort to cursing?"
Neal Steal-"Well Sho must have said something vulgar to him...the technical guys need to pick up this kind of thing..."
David Saturn-"I'm sure Sho did his talking this past week. He stayed in his locking room all evening while Royal was walking around relentlessly moaning at everybody..."
Neal Steal-"He was fed up of being asked to sign autographs every 10 seconds while preparing for 2 important matches..."
David Saturn-"He was right to condition himself for 2 matches but you say that like its a fact he's going to advance..."
...Royal however blocks it and applies an anklelock! Sho however rolls through...1,2...and Royal kicks out! Royal incensed is back up and nails Sho with a right hand. Sho responds with a chop and Royal once again yells out in pain upon impact! Punch by Royal in response and Sho with another chop!
Neal Steal-"Stop doing those chops!"
David Saturn-"Why are they hurting poor "Mr" Royal?"
Neal Steal-"No he just thinks such a move is uncultured..."
Sho with a punch then once again connects with a chop. Royal whips Sho off the ropes and as Sho rebounds he connects with a flying clothesline! Sho leaps right back up but Royal surprises him again with his quicknes and grabs the leg! Anklelock again by Royal but Sho quickly kicks him away. Royal charges...spinebuster by Sho!
David Saturn-"Jason Howard made that mistake last week running right into that spinebuster a couple of times..."
Neal Steal-"Sho has only utilised that move once in this contest...look at Mr Royal...he's so brave and strong getting right back to his feet!"
David Saturn-"Well what goes up...must come down!"
Royal is tougher than he looks and is right back up. Sho however knocks him right back down with a clothesline! Sho then goes for the top rope and flies off with an elbowdrop! Royal at the last second moves out of the way! Royal pulls himself up to his feet and curses at the crowd who have been cheering wildly for Sho since the second he came out.
David Saturn-"The crowd telling Royal what they think of him..."
Neal Steal-"We will see who's laughing when the night is over..."
David Saturn-"I don't see anyone in the crowd laughing just simply telling him that they believe he sucks..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal does not suck..."
David Saturn-"You're right...he blows!"
Neal Steal-"Don't be vulgar..."
Royal makes a gesture to his waist obviously stating he will be the one who has the belt by the time this night is over. Royal goes for the LIGHTS OUT....but Sho counters into a roll up! Royal immediately counters that into an anklelock! Sho frantically tries to get to the ropes...but then rolls onto his back trying to kick Royal away again.
Neal Steal-"Look at Sho he knows if Mr Royal applies that anklelock he will be forced to submit within a matter of seconds..."
David Saturn-"Or quite possibly does not want an ankle injury going into the main event...and unlike you Steal I think this match could go either way..."
Royal however is ready for it and keeps the hold locked on! Even if Sho escapes this the last thing he needs is a badly injured ankle if he goes on to face Slick next! Royal has this solidly locked on but Sho fights, and fights...and reaches the ropes! Royal again curses out loud almost at the point of tears from frustration.
David Saturn-"Royal looks like he's about to have a breakdown..."
Neal Steal-"I think he got poked in the eye..."
David Saturn-"Oh shut up!"
Sho then charges at Royal who has pulled himself up in the corner. Royal moves and Sho knocks the referee down! The ref is not badly hurt but Royal now has the chance to resort to some kind of dastardly act...and he reaches down into his trunks pulling out a pair of brass knucks! Sho turns around and Royal nails him with the knucks!
David Saturn-"Oh COME ON!"
Neal Steal-"What a right hand by Mr Royal! How did he get so much force behind that blow..."
David Saturn-"Because he has brass kuncks on his hand don't pretend you didn't see that...not sure why Royal placed them in Sho's trunks maybe he's a bit disorientated..."
For some reason Royal places the knucks into Sho's tights before making the cover. The ref is back up...1,2...and Sho kicks out! Royal looks pissed and nails Sho with a couple of right hands then again goes for the LIGHTS OUT! Sho however slips down Royal's back, spins him around and....ITTTTTTTSSSSSSSSS.......SHOTIME!!!
Sho makes the cover...1,2...3!!! What a match!
David Saturn-"Sho wins! Your hero is eliminated Steal..."
Neal Steal-"This is not fair! There's a clear conspiracy against Mr Royal here! Look at Sho's arrogance here..."
David Saturn-Who you rooting for in the final then Steal? Sho or Slick ha ha ha!"
Sho raises his arms in the air wildly celebrating his win as his music plays. He might be getting ahead of himself considering there's one more match to go but who can blame him this was a hell of a contest! Sho climbs to the top rope arms raised as Royal has pulled himself up to a sitting position. Royal tries to get the referees attention and begins pointing to his jaw...
David Saturn-"Wait a moment..."
Neal Steal-"Look at Sho too arrogant for the ref to raise his hand..."
David Saturn-"No look at Royal he's getting the refs attention..."
The referee walks towards Sho and taps his arm across his back trying to get Sho's attention. Sho shrugs him away wanting the moment for himself instead of having his hand raised. Royal continues pointing to his jaw as Sho drops to the floor. Sho looks confused as the ref starts to admonish him then the ref starts to feel Sho's trunks.
David Saturn-"Sho does not like being felt in that manner..."
Neal Steal-"He's concealing something! Look at that he had brass knuckles hidden down there!"
Unsurprisingly Sho looks a little irritated by this as the ref seems to have felt something. He tells Sho to reach into his trunks. Sho does so and pulls out the knucks! Either those trunks are very thick or Sho is so pumped with adrenaline that he did not realise Royal had placed them there! Sho begins protesting furiously but the ref rings the bell!
David Saturn-"OH COME ON!"
Neal Steal-"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Cheaters get what they deserve! He had brass knuckles in his trunks..."
David Saturn-"Because Royal put them there! Its obvious why now...Royal did not think he was going to beat Sho! So he resorted to this pathetic act..."
Neal Steal-"Sho had an illegal object and he got caught!"
David Saturn-"You're ludicrous...you saw Royal use them like everyone else!"
The ref then goes over to Royal and raises his hand! The crowd erupt with boos and it looks like we might just have a near riot situation developing here. Sho looks incensed with rage and charges at Royal delivering the DROP OF DESTINY!!! Sho then crouches down and spits right in Royal's face! Referees come down and escort Sho from the ring as the crowd begin throwing garbage at Royal.
WINNER BY DISQUALIFICATION: ANTHONY ROYAL
David Saturn-"Well we might not get a main event here...this crowd is going berserk...and I don't blame them either..."
Neal Steal-"Pathetic from the crowd...what a bunch of sore losers! Mr Royal is the best! Deal with it!"
David Saturn-"Fans fighting with security...this is getting out of hand..."
Security are at ringside trying to calm things down as a few fans jump the barricade trying to get to Royal. A brawl breaks out in the front row as Royal slowly tries to pull himself to his feet. The fans trying to get to Royal are yelling out language vulgar even by AWR standards. David Saturn gets to his feet listening to something in his earpience and grabs the mic...
Neal Steal-"What are you doing?"
David Saturn-"Ladies and gentlemen I have just been informed that this match will now be no disqualification!"
Neal Steal-"You don't have the authority to make such a decision..."
David Saturn-"I didn't make the decision you imbecile! Someone backstage has made that call...I think its been done as a means of crowd control!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal did not sign up for a no disqualification match..."
Steal is on his feet as well his neck showing no effects of his supposed neck injury. Steal yells at the ring announcer who protests he was only doing what he has been told through his earpiece. Perhaps the no DQ has been done as a last resort to try and calm the crowd down as they looked ready to lynch Royal.
VS
Neal Steal-"Oh no!"
David Saturn-"Here he comes! Slick Doctor is coming for the belt!"
Neal Steal-"This is not fair! Mr Royal has not even had 5 minutes to breathe while Slick has had at least 30 minutes rest..."
Suddenly Slick's music starts playing and he rushes towards the ring! Royal closes his eyes in clear frustration and dread then begins cursing at the ring announcer. Royal rolls to the outside and grabs a chair as Slick makes his way down the ramp. Royal charges at Slick with the chair in hand, Slick ducks and kicks Royal in the ribs.
David Saturn-"Slick looking to end this early!"
Neal Steal-"Thought he was all about putting on a show for the fans?"
David Saturn-"You're damn right he is and beating Royal in record time would send these fans home happy! Slick has managed to calm the crowd down with his sheer presence..."
Neal Steal-"Who would have thought that with all the violent brawls Slop has started..."
Royal drops the chair and Slick scoops Royal up looking to end this one right away with the DOC-TORE DRIVER! Slick looks tired from his earlier match but Royal looks exhausted. Somehow Royal counters and rolls Slick up...1,2...and Slick kicks out. Stomp by Royal and an elbowdrop...1,2...and Slick kicks out again. Slow methodical stomps now by Royal...
David Saturn-"These men are being tested like never before..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal is such a warrior. Fa Sho tried to cheat, Slop came charging out here and Mr Royal never complains..."
David Saturn-"Just shut up god damn it!"
Royal looks breathless but there is still some venom behind those stomps. Royal then perhaps taking a page out of FA Sho's book pulls Slick to his feet and begins delivering chops. Royal goes for a whip attempt, reversed by Slick who rebounds and catches Royal with a flying elbow! Slick then begins pounding on Royal maybe not as relentless as in his earlier bout.
David Saturn-"Don't know whether this will be an all time classic...these men are exhausted. It takes a lot longer than 30 minutes to recover Slick is just as tired as Royal is..."
Neal Steal-"Look at that announcer with that sixpack under his table...first he announces Sho's name with clear favourtism now he thinks Slop is going to have a victory party..."
Royal pulled to his feet and whipped into the turnbuckle...Slick follows up with a clothesline! Punches by Slick but the ref breaks it up. Slick then charges at Royal and takes him down with a hard shoulder charge! Slick now pounding on Royal with energy increasing behind each one...these men are so well conditioned.
David Saturn-"What aggression by Slick here! He's not an angry bitter man like Royal but I know he wants that title more than anything in the world!"
Neal Steal-"Disqualify him!"
David Saturn-"It was made no DQ! Fool!"
Royal rammed head first into the turnbuckle TEN successive times! Some real aggression here by Slick who does not stop at ten! The ref then breaks it up quite forcefully...considering this is no DQ there is only so much he can do. That might have been a DQ in a normal contest and suddenly Slick looks for the DOC-TORE DRIVER again!
Neal Steal-"Look at Slop he's panicking...probably in his drunken dreams he's seen himself pinning Mr Royal with that move...drunks are delusional..."
David Saturn-"Royal better watch out! Ouch that was a cold, hard landing!"
Royal slips away and rolls onto the apron. Royal pulls himself up on the ropes but Slick charges sending Royal crashing hard to the floor! Steal yells at Slick who is too occupied with Royal to notice...or maybe care. Slick backs Royal into the barricade and begins delivering similar chops to what Sho kept delivering earlier.
David Saturn-"The crowd reacting to everyone of those chops!"
Neal Steal-"Making that tedious wooooooo sound..."
Royal really does not like those chops! He hates them! Royal drops to his knees but Slick pulls him back up and continues to chop Royal. This would have been a countout by now under the normal rules. Slick scoops Royal up and drops him neck first across the barricade. Royal is hanging over the barricade and Slick yanks him hard pulling Royal hard to the floor.
David Saturn-"That is going to mess up Royal's good looks!"
Neal Steal-"Love that wouldn't you? People like you and Slick are so bitter about how you look you take pleasure in seeing good looking guys disfigured..."
Slick then rams Royal face first into the ringpost. Slick repeats the move then suddenly Slick pulls up the protective mats exposing the concrete. Slick has never been above bending the rules in a standard match particularly with those he does not respect. He certainly wouldn't be beyond executing a move on the concrete here.
Neal Steal-"This is not fair! Animal!"
David Saturn-"Slick will do what it takes...he does not have an ounce of respect for Royal. He thins Royal is scum like the majority in this arena..."
Slick turns his attention back to Royal who connects with a blow to the ribs. Royal picks up a chair and bashes Slick across the back with it. Royal then begins breaking up the announce table but keeps his eyes on Slick punching him in the face as he gets to his feet. Steal is clapping wildly yelling at Saturn to get out of the way.
Neal Steal-"Get out of the way Saturn! Come on Mr Royal break him in half! Remember what he did to me!"
David Saturn-"As if Royal gives a toss about that when he's trying to win the title..."
Royal pulls Slick up onto the commentators table. Royal looks like he is going for the LIGHTS OUT on the table but Slick fights it off with shots to the ribs. Slick then for the third time in the match goes for the DOC-TORE DRIVER but Royal grabs Slick's legs and applies a half boston crab! A submission would count here in the unlikely event Slick taps...
David Saturn-"Royal does not have the space to apply that fully..."
Neal Steal-"I've always said these tables are too small..."
David Saturn-"I thought that was because you didn't have room to put your feet up?"
Royal isn't able to apply the move fully and Slick shoves Royal off sending him to the floor. Royal grabs his back in pain and Slick delivers a fisherman suplex on the exposed concrete! Royal's back must be killing him now and Slick rolls Royal into the ring. The crowd are going crazy for Slick sensing the end is near...
Neal Steal-"Oh no Mr Royal is hurt!"
David Saturn-"Concrete like kryptonite for your beloved superhero is it?"
Slick backs Royal into the corner then whips him to the opposite side. Royal steps aside at the lasts second and Slick crashes shoulder first into the ringpost! Great sidestep by Royal and maybe a little too relentless by Slick there...still considering how tired these men must be it is incredible they are still fighting here.
David Saturn-"Slick making an error there..."
Neal Steal-"The margin between greatness and mediocrity..."
Royal rams Slick hard into the ringpost again and then punches him in the ribs. Chops now by Royal and then an uppercut. Royal whips Slick towards the ropes and Slick halts his momentum by grabbing them. Royal was looking for a dropkick and tried to execute the move but that was uncharacteristically horrible timing. You can't really blame him in the circumstances...
David Saturn-"Margin because greatness and mediocrity you say? That's one of the worst timed moves I've ever seen!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal slipped...they probably haven't cleaned that canvas properly after that pathetic celebration you did last week..."
Slick grabs Royal's legs and catapults him face first into the turnbuckle! Clothesline by Slick as Royal staggers backwards! Cover by Slick...1,2...and Royak kicks out. Royal suddenly wraps himself around Slick and applies an armbar. Royal is trying to break Slick's arm here and places his legs across the middle rope for leverage.
Neal Steal-"Break his arm Mr Royal! Snap it like a twig!"
David Saturn-"Royal more or less threatened to end Slick's career here tonight...he has held a grudge against Slick ever since Slick saved Flammenkrieg from a vicious beating..."
The ref sees but what can he do? Someone made this match no disqualification...Slick is not going to give up to an armbar but he is being worn down. The referee shoves Royal's legs off the ropes provoking a furious outburst by Royal. Even though this is no DQ the refs will still make some attempts to prevent such tactics...
Neal Steal-"He had no right to do that! Its no DQ!"
David Saturn-"Its only no DQ when it suits you then is it?"
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! What courage, what strength by Mr Royal to perform that picture perfect suplex!"
Knee to the face by Royal followed by a belly to belly suplex. Royal then goes to the top rope and dives off presumably looking for the double axe handle. Slick however catches him with a right hand to the ribs! Royal rammed head first into the ringpost followed up with more chops. Royal whipped off the ropes, rebounds...back body drop by Slick!
David Saturn-"Slick will not submit...he would have to pass out from the pain..."
Neal Steal-"If that is what's needed Mr Royal will do it...no amount of alcohol can knock this idiot out but a torturous submission will!"
Royal however somehow lands on his feet and rolls Slick up and applies a boston crab! Royal has it locked in and lets out a primal yell of rage. Slick frantically crawls for the ropes and finally reaches it. The ref once again breaks it up and retreats as Royal looks like he is going to punch him. Royal keeps his cool knowing he can't take his eyes off Slick now...
David Saturn-"Royal threatening the ref...some role model..."
Neal Steal-"Severe provocation..."
Kicks and stomps now by Royal...blocked by Slick, whips Royal off the ropes and Royal goes for a flying crossbody! Slick ducks and Royal takes out the referee! Punches by Slick, whip off the ropes and a flying elbow knocks Slick down. Slick goes to pull Royal to his feet and Royal nails Slick with a low blow!
David Saturn-"Damn it!"
Neal Steal-"No disqualification Saturn! No disqualification!"
David Saturn-"Royal has that predatory look in his eye..."
Royal then measures Slick up and connects with the ROYAL MUTILATION! He isn't able to make the cover and yells at the referee to get up. Steal is yelling at the ref to get up and Royal goes to ringside. Royal calls for a chair and Steal quickly vacates his seat. Royal grabs the chair threatening to hit Saturn with it as he protests.
Neal Steal-"What a honor it would now be to see Mr Royal win with my chair!"
David Saturn-"God you're pathetic..."
Royal goes into the ring and places the chair on the mat. Royal lifts Slick up looking like he is going to try and piledrive Slick on the chair. Royal scoops Slick up, Slick suddenly counters into the SLICK STRETCH! The ref is back in the ring and suddenly Steal is up on the apron! The ref is distracted by Steal and Royal is tapping!
Neal Steal-"NO! This is not fair!"
David Saturn-"Where are you going! Get back down here? Royal is tapping...THAT PIECE OF CRAP!"
Suddenly Saturn pulls Steal down from the apron! Steal yells at Saturn but the years of hatred between these two has finally come to a head here! Saturn screams at Steal and nails him with a right hand! The ref tries to break it up and Slick goes to the outside as Saturn is stomping the hell out of Steal! Good god Saturn is kicking Steal's ass here!
Slick walks over and begins joining in! Both men are stomping the hell out of Steal! Suddenly Royal comes to the outside and nails Saturn with the chair! Saturn is out cold! He then nails Slick in the ribs with the chair and rolls him back into the ring as the ref quickly kicks the chair to the outside. Royal goes to whip Slick off the ropes and both men go for a flying clothesline.
They crash into each other head first with a sickening collision! Suddenly the crowd erupt...ITS HELL!!! With all this action the crowd had almost forgotten his threats earlier! Hell has his baseball bat in hand. Both men are climbing to their feet...Hell is in the ring. Hell charges forward...and swings the bat with incredible force!
At the last second Royal ducks and Hell nails Slick with the bat instead! The bat flies out of Hell's hands such was the momentum. Hell curses out loud at his mistake but takes his eyes off Royal who picks up in the bat. Royal drives the bat head first into Hell's head sending him toppling over the top rope...
Royal then covers Slick who is knocked out cold! The ref makes the cover...1,2...3!!!
WINNER BY PINFALL AND FIRST EVER AWR CHAMPION: ANTHONY ROYAL
The scene is one of pandemonium. Both commentators on the floor, one man knocked out cold and a 7 foot monster trying to pull himself to his feet. The camera however zooms in on Anthony Royal as the ref hands him what is truly now his belt. The crowd erupt with boos...despite the disgraceful tactics Royal has pulled off here tonight it has been a show of endurance the likes of which we might never seen again.
Royal on his knees raises the belt above his head in triumph! What a night this has been! Who knows what carnage might be unleashed in the aftermatch next week on AWR CRASH Tv! The camera briefly focuses on a pissed off Hell but the final shot is of Anthony Royal...the new AWR CHAMPION!!!
