**********************************************************************
Neal Steal-"These people are just seconds away from the great moment in their whole, hollow existence! Seeing Mr Royal live and in person!"
David Saturn-"Look at this reaction! Even louder than Slick's was earlier and that is rare! Sho is going for the BIG one tonight!
From St Louis, Missouri...Kris...Fa Shooooooooooooooo...DESTINY!!!
Neal Steal-"That announcer is showing bias in his voice again. He did the same with RCH earlier and he kept Slop's beers under the table for him."
David Saturn-"Who's gives a rats ass...oh as Royal would say...posterior!"
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Here comes the champ! Coming out second just as he should have at Deadly Game!"
David Saturn-"Rightly so considering that he is ACTUALLY the champion now!"
Royal charges into the ring and takes Sho by surprise charging at him and clubbing him right across the forehead. Royal is certainly not predictable in the ring and considering the conspiracy theories he is clearly a very angry young man. Royal delivers a total of six punches backing Sho into the corner. Sho however stands his ground and fires back with a shot of his own!
David Saturn-"Royal once again calling out Silvio Megala. I believe Royal on that issue personally helping someone to the top only to knock them down is exactly what Silvio would do. He uses people..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal and I agree on everything except that one thing. Rusty agreed with me too Mr Megala is not behind all this! It is Maggia! The power has gone to his head for one so young!"
David Saturn-"Well you and Rusty are such well respected sources for the truth right?"
The Deadly Game match had some great mat and technical wrestling but this occasion looks like its going to be an out out brawl! Both men exchanging shots now and having sustained Royal's surprisingly direct attack Sho begins to get the better of the exchange! Royal counters with a blatant thumb to the eye but its not like he's the only one who's used that sort of tactic tonight...
David Saturn-"Thumb to the eye by Royal. I'm not going to admonish that sort of thing like you did with RCH and Slick earlier. Most wrestlers here bend the rules but nobody has gone anywhere near as low as Royal in the AWR so far..."
Neal Steal-"How dare Fa Sho suggest Mr Megala might be helping him!"
David Saturn-"Its called mind games and he's entitled to use them. If Megala does want Sho to win I do not believe for one moment he is doing it for Sho's benefit. Infact Sho would not want Megala's help they never got along..."
Royal goes for an irish whip, Sho reverses and as Royal charges back Sho connects with a spinning heel kick knocking Royal off his feet! Royal right back up but Sho delivers a tremendous clothesline! Sho with the cover...1,2...and a near fall! Sho then snapmares Royal to the mat and applies an armbar going for a change of pace after the fast paced start to this matchup...
David Saturn-"I was surprised by Royal's start he is usually so cautious. Before you mention otherwise Steal I know he is not predictable..."
Neal Steal-"Sho wasn't expecting it though and already we have seen the difference! Mr Royal proved he was the better man at Deadly Game and already he has shown that to be teh case tonight!"
David Saturn-"How can anyone judge who might win after 2 minutes for Christ sake! Personally I think it could go either way though I damn sure hope Sho wins!"
Sho did utilise plenty of mat wrestling at Deadly Game and of course those tactics worked well for him on that night. Royal suddenly gets loose and rolls Sho up...1...and a half. Sho quickly grabs a headlock as Royal looks for another rollup! 1,...and Sho kicks out again. Sho has a headlock locked on again and pulls Royal up to his feet. Royal goes for a back body drop but Sho lands on his feet like a cat!
Neal Steal-"See how clever Mr Royal is? He had already guessed without being told anything that someone had paid Randal to try and take him out."
David Saturn-"Royal certainly has tremendous foresight. He is a great wrestling mind and indeed a very intelligent man in general..."
Neal Steal-"Compare that to Fa Sho who had to redo secong grade..."
Royal turns round and Sho quickly takes Royal down to the mat with an armbar! Sho then quickly releases and goes to grab the legs but Royal escapes fast underneath the bottom rope. It looked like Sho was going for the LOCKDOWN there and he has won his last 2 matches with that very hold. Perhaps that was a warning to Royal that he intends to do the same here tonight!
David Saturn-"Exactly as I thought! Sho's submission victories have been a signal of intent to Royal..."
Neal Steal-"That shows what a fool he is telling Mr Royal what he intends to do..."
David Saturn-"Sho has a lot of self belief and if that hold is locked in Royal may have no choice but to give it up!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal has never once submitted..."
David Saturn-"Yes he has...and he's been pinned as well! By that man right there!"
Royal of course also submitted (against Slick) at Deadly Game as well as being pinned by Sho. The crowd berate Royal and he curses at the front row. If Royal screws Sho here tonight we may well have another near riot on our hands and this time Slick won't be out to quell it! Royal walks around taking his time to get back into the ring. Royal can't really be blamed here anyone would want to avoid that submission hold...
David Saturn-"A few fans seem to think that's cowardly leaving the ring. Can't agree with that though wise strategy there by Royal..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal is just posing for a pic for that Japanese cameraman. They agreed to it earlier Mr Royal said he wouldn't win the match in the first few minutes and would pose for some action pics..."
David Saturn-"I suppose Royal speaks perfect Japanese then does he?"
Neal Steal-"Well look at Chinese...ching chong ching chow! I doubt Japanese is much harder certainly not for Mr Royal!"
Sho makes a big mistake trying too hastily to pull Royal into the ring from the inside. Royal takes out his legs and pulls Sho towards the ringpost. Royal grabs Sho's leg and bashes him knee first hard against the steel! Sho gets to his feet but is limping and Royal charges in clubbing him across the head from behind. Very aggressive shot by Royal who said he would sacrifice his own kids (if he had any) to keep the title...
David Saturn-"Some real aggression there by Royal which I have no problem with. There's nothing wrong with physicality its just his cowardice I despise..."
Neal Steal-"Its just envy Saturn! You're jealous of Mr Royal! Break his leg Mr Royal! Snap it like a twig! Yahoo!"
Royal pulls Sho to his feet and delivers a german suplex...1...and Sho kicks out fast! Sho has a lot of guts and tenacity and will need all that fight as Royal quickly delivers a second german suplex. Cover...and Sho kicks out at 1 again! Royal again pulls Sho straight up and hits a third successive german suplex. Sho won't be able to keep taking this type of punishment...
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal said he was the best wrestler on the planet...I can't agree."
David Saturn-"What!"
Neal Steal-"He's the best wrestler in the universe on equal footing with Mr Megala!"
Royal then drops to the outside stretches Sho's neck across the apron and delivers a brutal blow right to the throat. Royal smirks at the crowd with contempt in his eyes and heads back into the ring. Royal drags Sho into the centre of the ring by his legs. It looks like he's going for a submission but instead he goes for the cover. Presumably to stop Sho from placing a foot across the ropes...
David Saturn-"If Silvio is jealous of Royal as I believe he is how will he feel towards you for continuing to back him?"
Neal Steal-"He will shake my hand and apologise to Mr Royal for Maggia'a disgraceful behaviour. Mr Royal knows how important money is and Mr Megala is obviously doing a massive deal for Megala Enterprises like I've said. He's a tough negotiator that's why its taking so long."
David Saturn-"Well that's one thing they both love more than anything...money! Of course Sho won't exactly turn his nose up at tonight's winner fee either!"
Neal Steal-"That's chump change to Mr Royal and Mr Megala..."
1,2...and Sho gets his shoulder up! A near fall again and Sho tries to get to his feet but Royal applies a side headlock takeover. Royal really taking it to Sho here and begins to talk trash right in his face. Sho's shoulders are down with Royal now on top...1...but Sho gets his shoulder up. Royal keeps the headlock on as the ref closely watches Sho but he will know Sho won't pass out from a headlock...
Neal Steal-"Fa Sho going on about his past accomplishments as if that's supposed to impress Mr Royal. Mr Royal was successful in NIWF as well..."
David Saturn-"Fa Sho did it for longer and against more top names though..."
Neal Steal-"Well Daniel Stevens for instance. He never won the world title and he only won a tag title because Mr Megala was his partner..."
David Saturn-"Stevens could have been a great wrestler...he had mental problems worthy of Tracy Adkins and that was probably his downfall..."
Royal and Sho both rise to their feet with the headlock still applied. Royal again with a headlock takeover and another 1 count with Sho's shoulders down. Both man up to their feet again and Sho manages to back Royal towards the ropes. Royal whipped off the ropes but he knocks Sho down with a shoulder charge on the rebound. Sho is 4 inches taller but both men are more or less the same weight...
Neal Steal-"Anthony Bloodbath he mentioned as well. Mr Megala beat Bloodbath twice so Sho isn't the only one who's beaten him like he suggested..."
David Saturn-"He never said he was the only one who beat him. Bloodbath was an excellent wrestler and that shows how good Sho is to beat him so many times..."
Royal charges off the ropes, Sho drops to the mat, Royal leaps over and as he rebounds Sho connects with a dropkick! The pace has quickened again and Royal was caught right on the face there. Front facelock by Sho quickly followed up with a german suplex! Myaybe Royal is going to feel the force of a few germans now...1,2...and that was close!
Neal Steal-"I notice Sho didn't mention how many times Mr Megala kicked his ass. It was almost a weekly event in 2004...."
David Saturn-"He was a rookie then and yes Silvio did beat him up quite a few times. Nothing to be ashamed of but it made him all the better in the long run. He went on to be World Champion..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Megala isn't on Sho's side except in Sho's dreams. Sho was just hoping Mr Megala would help him out of desperation because he knows he would have no chance alone..."
David Saturn-"He has never asked anyone for help! You know why? Because he has something you and Royal don't...character!"
Both men straight back up, Sho charges off the ropes and goes for a hurricanrana! Royal counters it right into a powerbomb! Not a move he usually does but certainly the most effective from that position. Royal then grabs Sho by the arm and drags him towards the corner. Perhaps he should have dragged him a bit nearer...Royal flies off and connects with a fistdrop right across the throat!
Neal Steal-"Look at Mr Royal fly! Like a soaring eagle swooping down its prey!"
David Saturn-"It was a fistdrop for crying out loud not a triple moonsault..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal is saving that for later. Such a special treat for these idiots here in Oklahoma getting to witness an exhibition of Mr Royal's skills!"
David Saturn-"Did you hear you complete fool that Royal admitted this would be a tough fight?"
Cover...1,2...and a half. Snapmare by Royal and a surprise cover instead of a headlock...1,2...Sho isn't the type who will be taken off guard easily. He always has that extra step but of course so does Royal. Reverse chinlock by Royal and the ref once again monitors closely. Only routine though everyone knows this is just intended to wear Sho down...Royal isn't delusional enough to think he can make Sho submit or pass out from this...
Neal Steal-"Looks to me like Sho is going to give it up! Come on Sho you have given it a good effort lets be sensible now..."
David Saturn-"You are such a patronising prick aren't you?"
Indeed Royal said that Sho would test him to his limits and Sho is certainly doing that. Sho manages to fight to his feet and connects with three shots right to the ribs. Sho charges off the ropes but Royal raises his knee doubling Sho over and sending him crumpling to the mat. The crowd are rabid here and Sho will surely be inspired by this level of ferocious backing...
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal was taking a very sportsmanlike approach to say Sho would be such a tough opponent. Its just the right thing to say as a sportsman...yet Sho arrogantly accuses Mr Royal of being jealous..."
David Saturn-"Royal is jealous of anybody who takes the spotlight from him for the slightest second. He's the type of guy who would complain if a badly wounded soldier got a louder reception at a gathering than he does..."
Neal Steal-"If Mr Royal had been the one looking for Bin Laden he would have been found much sooner! I remember celebrating when Bin Laden was caught though Mr Megala was worried incase his business and employees were targeted by terrorists..."
David Saturn-"That sounds about right other than Megala being concerned for employees. Remember when those pirates held one of his ships hostage? He only cared about the goods on board and he barely gave a damn when they kidnapped you soon after!"
Royal then delivers a stomp which was as close to a low blow as you can get without quite being a low blow. The ref admonishes Royal who does not care...indeed the longer this match goes on the more likely he would be to get himself disqualified. We saw at Deadly Game there are few lows to which Royal won't stoop. Royal grabs Sho's legs and attempts to apply a half Boston crab...
Neal Steal-"Ha ha if there's anyone who is likely to gain a submission in this match it would be Mr Royal! That would be fitting beating Sho by submission when Sho is deluded enough to think he could win that way!"
David Saturn-"Royal usually prefers to go for a pinfall but he's certainly won by submission a few times. Sho tends to go for pin and submission victories equally..."
Sho displays tremendous leg strength powering out of the attempted submission with some real force. Royal is knocked down to the mat but is quicker to his feet. Sho is up to his knees and Royal delivers an insulting slap to the face. Sho's eyes nearly pop out of his head with rage and Royal whips him off the ropes. As Sho charges back Royal quickly locks on a sleeper hold...
David Saturn-"Insulting slap by Royal there just going to antagonise Sho maybe not a wise move at all. Royal knows that sleeper won't be lights out he isn't as delusional as you Steal that's impossible..."
Neal Steal-"I bet Sho thinks he's going to win with this sleeperhold though..."
David Saturn-"No he won't because he's not an idiot..."
Both men are right in the centre of the ring. Sho shoves Royal away, Royal charges back and this time Sho manages to lock on a sleeperhold! Great counter but some great counter wrestling by Royal driving Sho back first into the corner. That does the job of breaking the hold and Royal then drives his head hard into Sho's ribs twice in succession and then places Sho across the top turnbuckle...
David Saturn-"We are seeing such tremendous wrestling here tonight! Mat wrestling, technical wrestling and smashmouth force on occasion! This match has had it all! They are both such all rounders!"
Neal Steal-"I'll admit Sho is doing a decent job of keeping up so far. Then again Mr Royal was clearly teaching Randal stuff without him knowing maybe that's the case here as well..."
David Saturn-"That was an asinine comment last week and even more so now! Randal tried to improve his overall game last week but he's certainly not the all rounder that Sho is."
Royal might be setting up for a superplex...very bad position for Sho here. Headbutt by Sho however knocks Royal to the mat and now its Royal in a bad position! Sho still looks a bit winded however by Royal's head being driven into his ribs. After a few moments he jumps off but Royal connects with a hard blow to the ribs while Sho is still in mid air...Sho clutches his ribs in clear discomfort...
Neal Steal-"Ha ha! Sho's going to be ordering some spare ribs for room service tonight!"
David Saturn-"Broken ribs are not pleasant. Thanks to Royal I know how that feels..."
Neal Steal-"A beating which you fully deserved! To think back then you were so convinced Mr Megala was on Mr Royal's side! You were right then and I'm right now! He still is!"
Royal whips Sho off the ropes, Sho ducks a clothesline and charges back...flying crossbody! 1,2...and almost a new champ! Both men back up and Royal rakes Sho across the face with his bootlaces. Sho staggers backwards into the corner but connects with a right hand as Royal follows. Hammering blows to the back by Royal but clear eyerake by Royal as this war looks to be getting uglier and uglier...
David Saturn-"Maybe this has just been the calm before the storm. This match may be going up another gear. These two are just phenomenal athletes..."
Neal Steal-"Especially Mr Royal..."
David Saturn-"Will you stop being so mind numbingly predictable!"
Snapmare headlock takedown by Royal cinched up right in the centre of the ring. Sho is bleeding from the mouth probably due to that rake with the bootlaces by Royal. After a few moments Sho fights up to a sitting position then to his feet. Elbows to Royal's ribs by Sho (well who else!) and then he charges off the ropes connecting with a high knee right to the jaw of Royal!
David Saturn-"Just about every part of the body will be used to win this matchup!"
Neal Steal-"There goes Sho over the top rope!"
David Saturn-"I suppose Rusty hasn't made that an automatic disqualification yet..."
Royal does manage to stay on his feet though and as Sho charges back Royal sidesteps and tosses him right over the top rope! Royal follows and tries to whip Sho into the ringpost but Sho's quick reversal sends Royal knee first into the steel steps! That won't do Royal's hip much good either and Sho begins laying in with some vicious stomps! The crowd are in a frenzy cheering for Sho here!
Neal Steal-"Disqualify him! This is supposed to be good old fashioned wrestling! Not brutality like this!"
David Saturn-"Ding! There goes Royal's head!"
Sho rams Royal head first into the timekeepers table. Royal staggers backwards but as Sho follows Royal connects with a punch to the jaw. Royal then sets up for a piledriver on the outside...one of Silvio Megala's preferred moves in the past. Maybe this is a message to Megala though it could be a blatant attempt to get disqualified. Royal however takes too long and Sho takes advantage with a baaaaaack body drop!
David Saturn-"Oh surely Royal's timing wasn't off there Steal? Surely not the almighty Royal?"
Neal Steal-"Shut up Saturn! His hands just slipped that's all. Wrestlers get sweaty after this long in the ring..."
Great reversal though Royal took far too long to execute the piledriver. Sho rolls Royal back into the ring and Royal somewhat foolishly tries to pull himself up in the corner. Then again he would be more susceptible to a pinfall had he gone into the centre of the ring. Perhaps after that last move he barely knows where he is...more stomps now by Sho and then a blatant choke...
David Saturn-"Look at the intensity on Sho's face there! My God he wants this more than anything!"
Neal Steal-"He's just setting himself up for more pain. The cold hard reality is coming Sho!"
David Saturn-"Can't wait to see your face if Sho pulls off the victory here..."
Sho looks enraged clearly the attacks by Royal and that insulting slap a few minutes ago have really pissed him off. It isn't good to piss off a guy like Fa Sho as much as Royal has. The ref breaks up the choke and Sho pulls Royal up to his feet. Sho whips Royal into the corner but as Sho runs...well its more like a stagger across he walks right into Royal's raised boot.
David Saturn-"Sho going back to the ribs! Wise strategy both these men are in such great condition but getting out of breath at this stage..."
David Saturn-"He's setting up for the kill!"
Royal pulls Sho back up and backs Sho into the corner driving his head into Sho's ribs again. Sho whipped into the corner but he charges right back out taking out the champion with a clothesline! Sho quicker to his feet and a german suplex...1,2...and that was so close! Royal pulled to his feet and is unceremoniously knocked back to the mat with a punch right to the jaw...
David Saturn-"As blunt and direct offence as you can get, Solid punch to the jaw..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal could have been a world champion boxer had he chosen that profession...
David Saturn-"Well there's been fixed fights in boxing he probably would have liked that if he could win all the time. Of course in wrestling nobody intentionally takes a fall...except Rusty in the past that is...oh wait THE LOCKDOWN!"
Neal Steal-"OH NO! Help! Somebody HELP!"
David Saturn-"You stay right here!"
Sho then looks to be going for the LOCKDOWN and he applies it! Royal is trapped in the centre of the ring but he crawls desperately for the ropes and he manages to reach it! Despite his vile cheating tactics Royal is still a tremendous fighter and that took some real effort and courage there. Royal staggers to the corner and as Sho follows Royal delivers a low blow with the back of his boot!
David Saturn-"OH COME ON!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal didn't mean to do that. Total accident there..."
David Saturn-"Accident my ass!"
Just moments after showing such effort and fight Royal resorts back to his old tricks. The ref it appears didn't notice that but maybe he would have refused to DQ Royal if he had. The title can't change on a DQ in the AWR and Royal pushes Sho into the corner connecting with boots to the midsection. Royal is unloading on Sho here trying to stomp his lungs out...Sho is crumpled in the corner...
Neal Steal-"Stay down Sho!"
David Saturn-"Nice of Royal to pull him up then isn't it? Royal is pathetic he showed some real courage to escape that submission then he resorts to such a pathetic desperation act..."
Royal drags Sho up, whip off the ropes, Sho charges back but ducks a clothesline and on the rebound both men take each other out with clotheslines! Sho landed on his back there and Royal landed on his front. Royal manages to drape an arm across...1,2...and Sho gets a shoulder up! This is an awesome contest and both men slowly fight to their feet again!
David Saturn-"Sho gets a shoulder up! Come on Sho! Look at Royal he's furious..."
Neal Steal-"Stay down you fool! Mr Royal will not humour you for much longer!"
Both men trade punches almost like boxers on their last legs going for the KO in the final round. Sho gets the better of it and whips Royal into the corner. Sho charges in bur Royal suddenly scoops him up by the legs. Just like at Deadly Game however Sho manages to slip down the back and then he goes for his finisher! ITSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS........SHOTIME.......or is it?
David Saturn-"Sho's gonna do it again...oh wait..."
Neal Steal-"Come on Mr Royal!"
Remembering what happened weeks ago however Royal is ready and counters the move into a LIGHTS OUT!!! Royal crumples to the mat as well but manages to slowly drape his arm across Sho...1.......2............3!!! What a fight!
WINNER BY PINFALL: ANTHONY ROYAL
Neal Steal-"YAHOOOOOOOOOO!"
David Saturn-"DAMN IT!"
Neal Steal-"You saw that counter by Mr Royal! You saw it Saturn it was a brilliant counter..."
David Saturn-"Indeed it was but it could have been different if Royal hadn't connected with that low blow. That bought him some time..."
Neal Steal-"Admit Mr Royal was the better man!"
David Saturn-"He certainly pulled off a superb counter at the end there that's for sure. Not the result most of us wanted but somebody will topple Royal one day! See you next week LIVE!"
Neal Steal-"These people are just seconds away from the great moment in their whole, hollow existence! Seeing Mr Royal live and in person!"
David Saturn-"Look at this reaction! Even louder than Slick's was earlier and that is rare! Sho is going for the BIG one tonight!
VS
From St Louis, Missouri...Kris...Fa Shooooooooooooooo...DESTINY!!!
Neal Steal-"That announcer is showing bias in his voice again. He did the same with RCH earlier and he kept Slop's beers under the table for him."
David Saturn-"Who's gives a rats ass...oh as Royal would say...posterior!"
From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania...Anthony...ROYAL!!!
Neal Steal-"Yahoo! Here comes the champ! Coming out second just as he should have at Deadly Game!"
David Saturn-"Rightly so considering that he is ACTUALLY the champion now!"
Royal charges into the ring and takes Sho by surprise charging at him and clubbing him right across the forehead. Royal is certainly not predictable in the ring and considering the conspiracy theories he is clearly a very angry young man. Royal delivers a total of six punches backing Sho into the corner. Sho however stands his ground and fires back with a shot of his own!
David Saturn-"Royal once again calling out Silvio Megala. I believe Royal on that issue personally helping someone to the top only to knock them down is exactly what Silvio would do. He uses people..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal and I agree on everything except that one thing. Rusty agreed with me too Mr Megala is not behind all this! It is Maggia! The power has gone to his head for one so young!"
David Saturn-"Well you and Rusty are such well respected sources for the truth right?"
The Deadly Game match had some great mat and technical wrestling but this occasion looks like its going to be an out out brawl! Both men exchanging shots now and having sustained Royal's surprisingly direct attack Sho begins to get the better of the exchange! Royal counters with a blatant thumb to the eye but its not like he's the only one who's used that sort of tactic tonight...
David Saturn-"Thumb to the eye by Royal. I'm not going to admonish that sort of thing like you did with RCH and Slick earlier. Most wrestlers here bend the rules but nobody has gone anywhere near as low as Royal in the AWR so far..."
Neal Steal-"How dare Fa Sho suggest Mr Megala might be helping him!"
David Saturn-"Its called mind games and he's entitled to use them. If Megala does want Sho to win I do not believe for one moment he is doing it for Sho's benefit. Infact Sho would not want Megala's help they never got along..."
Royal goes for an irish whip, Sho reverses and as Royal charges back Sho connects with a spinning heel kick knocking Royal off his feet! Royal right back up but Sho delivers a tremendous clothesline! Sho with the cover...1,2...and a near fall! Sho then snapmares Royal to the mat and applies an armbar going for a change of pace after the fast paced start to this matchup...
David Saturn-"I was surprised by Royal's start he is usually so cautious. Before you mention otherwise Steal I know he is not predictable..."
Neal Steal-"Sho wasn't expecting it though and already we have seen the difference! Mr Royal proved he was the better man at Deadly Game and already he has shown that to be teh case tonight!"
David Saturn-"How can anyone judge who might win after 2 minutes for Christ sake! Personally I think it could go either way though I damn sure hope Sho wins!"
Sho did utilise plenty of mat wrestling at Deadly Game and of course those tactics worked well for him on that night. Royal suddenly gets loose and rolls Sho up...1...and a half. Sho quickly grabs a headlock as Royal looks for another rollup! 1,...and Sho kicks out again. Sho has a headlock locked on again and pulls Royal up to his feet. Royal goes for a back body drop but Sho lands on his feet like a cat!
Neal Steal-"See how clever Mr Royal is? He had already guessed without being told anything that someone had paid Randal to try and take him out."
David Saturn-"Royal certainly has tremendous foresight. He is a great wrestling mind and indeed a very intelligent man in general..."
Neal Steal-"Compare that to Fa Sho who had to redo secong grade..."
Royal turns round and Sho quickly takes Royal down to the mat with an armbar! Sho then quickly releases and goes to grab the legs but Royal escapes fast underneath the bottom rope. It looked like Sho was going for the LOCKDOWN there and he has won his last 2 matches with that very hold. Perhaps that was a warning to Royal that he intends to do the same here tonight!
David Saturn-"Exactly as I thought! Sho's submission victories have been a signal of intent to Royal..."
Neal Steal-"That shows what a fool he is telling Mr Royal what he intends to do..."
David Saturn-"Sho has a lot of self belief and if that hold is locked in Royal may have no choice but to give it up!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal has never once submitted..."
David Saturn-"Yes he has...and he's been pinned as well! By that man right there!"
Royal of course also submitted (against Slick) at Deadly Game as well as being pinned by Sho. The crowd berate Royal and he curses at the front row. If Royal screws Sho here tonight we may well have another near riot on our hands and this time Slick won't be out to quell it! Royal walks around taking his time to get back into the ring. Royal can't really be blamed here anyone would want to avoid that submission hold...
David Saturn-"A few fans seem to think that's cowardly leaving the ring. Can't agree with that though wise strategy there by Royal..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal is just posing for a pic for that Japanese cameraman. They agreed to it earlier Mr Royal said he wouldn't win the match in the first few minutes and would pose for some action pics..."
David Saturn-"I suppose Royal speaks perfect Japanese then does he?"
Neal Steal-"Well look at Chinese...ching chong ching chow! I doubt Japanese is much harder certainly not for Mr Royal!"
Sho makes a big mistake trying too hastily to pull Royal into the ring from the inside. Royal takes out his legs and pulls Sho towards the ringpost. Royal grabs Sho's leg and bashes him knee first hard against the steel! Sho gets to his feet but is limping and Royal charges in clubbing him across the head from behind. Very aggressive shot by Royal who said he would sacrifice his own kids (if he had any) to keep the title...
David Saturn-"Some real aggression there by Royal which I have no problem with. There's nothing wrong with physicality its just his cowardice I despise..."
Neal Steal-"Its just envy Saturn! You're jealous of Mr Royal! Break his leg Mr Royal! Snap it like a twig! Yahoo!"
Royal pulls Sho to his feet and delivers a german suplex...1...and Sho kicks out fast! Sho has a lot of guts and tenacity and will need all that fight as Royal quickly delivers a second german suplex. Cover...and Sho kicks out at 1 again! Royal again pulls Sho straight up and hits a third successive german suplex. Sho won't be able to keep taking this type of punishment...
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal said he was the best wrestler on the planet...I can't agree."
David Saturn-"What!"
Neal Steal-"He's the best wrestler in the universe on equal footing with Mr Megala!"
Royal then drops to the outside stretches Sho's neck across the apron and delivers a brutal blow right to the throat. Royal smirks at the crowd with contempt in his eyes and heads back into the ring. Royal drags Sho into the centre of the ring by his legs. It looks like he's going for a submission but instead he goes for the cover. Presumably to stop Sho from placing a foot across the ropes...
David Saturn-"If Silvio is jealous of Royal as I believe he is how will he feel towards you for continuing to back him?"
Neal Steal-"He will shake my hand and apologise to Mr Royal for Maggia'a disgraceful behaviour. Mr Royal knows how important money is and Mr Megala is obviously doing a massive deal for Megala Enterprises like I've said. He's a tough negotiator that's why its taking so long."
David Saturn-"Well that's one thing they both love more than anything...money! Of course Sho won't exactly turn his nose up at tonight's winner fee either!"
Neal Steal-"That's chump change to Mr Royal and Mr Megala..."
1,2...and Sho gets his shoulder up! A near fall again and Sho tries to get to his feet but Royal applies a side headlock takeover. Royal really taking it to Sho here and begins to talk trash right in his face. Sho's shoulders are down with Royal now on top...1...but Sho gets his shoulder up.

Front facelock by Sho quickly followed up with a german suplex! Myaybe Royal is going to feel the force of a few germans now...1,2...and that was close!
Neal Steal-"I notice Sho didn't mention how many times Mr Megala kicked his ass. It was almost a weekly event in 2004...."
David Saturn-"He was a rookie then and yes Silvio did beat him up quite a few times. Nothing to be ashamed of but it made him all the better in the long run. He went on to be World Champion..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Megala isn't on Sho's side except in Sho's dreams. Sho was just hoping Mr Megala would help him out of desperation because he knows he would have no chance alone..."
David Saturn-"He has never asked anyone for help! You know why? Because he has something you and Royal don't...character!"
Both men straight back up, Sho charges off the ropes and goes for a hurricanrana! Royal counters it right into a powerbomb! Not a move he usually does but certainly the most effective from that position. Royal then grabs Sho by the arm and drags him towards the corner. Perhaps he should have dragged him a bit nearer...Royal flies off and connects with a fistdrop right across the throat!
Neal Steal-"Look at Mr Royal fly! Like a soaring eagle swooping down its prey!"
David Saturn-"It was a fistdrop for crying out loud not a triple moonsault..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal is saving that for later. Such a special treat for these idiots here in Oklahoma getting to witness an exhibition of Mr Royal's skills!"
David Saturn-"Did you hear you complete fool that Royal admitted this would be a tough fight?"
Cover...1,2...and a half. Snapmare by Royal and a surprise cover instead of a headlock...1,2...Sho isn't the type who will be taken off guard easily. He always has that extra step but of course so does Royal. Reverse chinlock by Royal and the ref once again monitors closely. Only routine though everyone knows this is just intended to wear Sho down...Royal isn't delusional enough to think he can make Sho submit or pass out from this...
Neal Steal-"Looks to me like Sho is going to give it up! Come on Sho you have given it a good effort lets be sensible now..."
David Saturn-"You are such a patronising prick aren't you?"
Indeed Royal said that Sho would test him to his limits and Sho is certainly doing that. Sho manages to fight to his feet and connects with three shots right to the ribs. Sho charges off the ropes but Royal raises his knee doubling Sho over and sending him crumpling to the mat. The crowd are rabid here and Sho will surely be inspired by this level of ferocious backing...
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal was taking a very sportsmanlike approach to say Sho would be such a tough opponent. Its just the right thing to say as a sportsman...yet Sho arrogantly accuses Mr Royal of being jealous..."
David Saturn-"Royal is jealous of anybody who takes the spotlight from him for the slightest second. He's the type of guy who would complain if a badly wounded soldier got a louder reception at a gathering than he does..."
Neal Steal-"If Mr Royal had been the one looking for Bin Laden he would have been found much sooner! I remember celebrating when Bin Laden was caught though Mr Megala was worried incase his business and employees were targeted by terrorists..."
David Saturn-"That sounds about right other than Megala being concerned for employees. Remember when those pirates held one of his ships hostage? He only cared about the goods on board and he barely gave a damn when they kidnapped you soon after!"
Royal then delivers a stomp which was as close to a low blow as you can get without quite being a low blow. The ref admonishes Royal who does not care...indeed the longer this match goes on the more likely he would be to get himself disqualified. We saw at Deadly Game there are few lows to which Royal won't stoop. Royal grabs Sho's legs and attempts to apply a half Boston crab...
Neal Steal-"Ha ha if there's anyone who is likely to gain a submission in this match it would be Mr Royal! That would be fitting beating Sho by submission when Sho is deluded enough to think he could win that way!"
David Saturn-"Royal usually prefers to go for a pinfall but he's certainly won by submission a few times. Sho tends to go for pin and submission victories equally..."
Sho displays tremendous leg strength powering out of the attempted submission with some real force. Royal is knocked down to the mat but is quicker to his feet. Sho is up to his knees and Royal delivers an insulting slap to the face. Sho's eyes nearly pop out of his head with rage and Royal whips him off the ropes. As Sho charges back Royal quickly locks on a sleeper hold...
David Saturn-"Insulting slap by Royal there just going to antagonise Sho maybe not a wise move at all. Royal knows that sleeper won't be lights out he isn't as delusional as you Steal that's impossible..."
Neal Steal-"I bet Sho thinks he's going to win with this sleeperhold though..."
David Saturn-"No he won't because he's not an idiot..."
Both men are right in the centre of the ring. Sho shoves Royal away, Royal charges back and this time Sho manages to lock on a sleeperhold! Great counter but some great counter wrestling by Royal driving Sho back first into the corner. That does the job of breaking the hold and Royal then drives his head hard into Sho's ribs twice in succession and then places Sho across the top turnbuckle...
David Saturn-"We are seeing such tremendous wrestling here tonight! Mat wrestling, technical wrestling and smashmouth force on occasion! This match has had it all! They are both such all rounders!"
Neal Steal-"I'll admit Sho is doing a decent job of keeping up so far. Then again Mr Royal was clearly teaching Randal stuff without him knowing maybe that's the case here as well..."
David Saturn-"That was an asinine comment last week and even more so now! Randal tried to improve his overall game last week but he's certainly not the all rounder that Sho is."
Royal might be setting up for a superplex...very bad position for Sho here. Headbutt by Sho however knocks Royal to the mat and now its Royal in a bad position! Sho still looks a bit winded however by Royal's head being driven into his ribs. After a few moments he jumps off but Royal connects with a hard blow to the ribs while Sho is still in mid air...Sho clutches his ribs in clear discomfort...
Neal Steal-"Ha ha! Sho's going to be ordering some spare ribs for room service tonight!"
David Saturn-"Broken ribs are not pleasant. Thanks to Royal I know how that feels..."
Neal Steal-"A beating which you fully deserved! To think back then you were so convinced Mr Megala was on Mr Royal's side! You were right then and I'm right now! He still is!"
Royal whips Sho off the ropes, Sho ducks a clothesline and charges back...flying crossbody! 1,2...and almost a new champ! Both men back up and Royal rakes Sho across the face with his bootlaces. Sho staggers backwards into the corner but connects with a right hand as Royal follows. Hammering blows to the back by Royal but clear eyerake by Royal as this war looks to be getting uglier and uglier...
David Saturn-"Maybe this has just been the calm before the storm. This match may be going up another gear. These two are just phenomenal athletes..."
Neal Steal-"Especially Mr Royal..."
David Saturn-"Will you stop being so mind numbingly predictable!"
Snapmare headlock takedown by Royal cinched up right in the centre of the ring. Sho is bleeding from the mouth probably due to that rake with the bootlaces by Royal. After a few moments Sho fights up to a sitting position then to his feet. Elbows to Royal's ribs by Sho (well who else!) and then he charges off the ropes connecting with a high knee right to the jaw of Royal!
David Saturn-"Just about every part of the body will be used to win this matchup!"
Neal Steal-"There goes Sho over the top rope!"
David Saturn-"I suppose Rusty hasn't made that an automatic disqualification yet..."
Royal does manage to stay on his feet though and as Sho charges back Royal sidesteps and tosses him right over the top rope! Royal follows and tries to whip Sho into the ringpost but Sho's quick reversal sends Royal knee first into the steel steps! That won't do Royal's hip much good either and Sho begins laying in with some vicious stomps! The crowd are in a frenzy cheering for Sho here!
Neal Steal-"Disqualify him! This is supposed to be good old fashioned wrestling! Not brutality like this!"
David Saturn-"Ding! There goes Royal's head!"
Sho rams Royal head first into the timekeepers table. Royal staggers backwards but as Sho follows Royal connects with a punch to the jaw. Royal then sets up for a piledriver on the outside...one of Silvio Megala's preferred moves in the past. Maybe this is a message to Megala though it could be a blatant attempt to get disqualified. Royal however takes too long and Sho takes advantage with a baaaaaack body drop!
David Saturn-"Oh surely Royal's timing wasn't off there Steal? Surely not the almighty Royal?"
Neal Steal-"Shut up Saturn! His hands just slipped that's all. Wrestlers get sweaty after this long in the ring..."
Great reversal though Royal took far too long to execute the piledriver. Sho rolls Royal back into the ring and Royal somewhat foolishly tries to pull himself up in the corner. Then again he would be more susceptible to a pinfall had he gone into the centre of the ring. Perhaps after that last move he barely knows where he is...more stomps now by Sho and then a blatant choke...
David Saturn-"Look at the intensity on Sho's face there! My God he wants this more than anything!"
Neal Steal-"He's just setting himself up for more pain. The cold hard reality is coming Sho!"
David Saturn-"Can't wait to see your face if Sho pulls off the victory here..."
Sho looks enraged clearly the attacks by Royal and that insulting slap a few minutes ago have really pissed him off. It isn't good to piss off a guy like Fa Sho as much as Royal has. The ref breaks up the choke and Sho pulls Royal up to his feet. Sho whips Royal into the corner but as Sho runs...well its more like a stagger across he walks right into Royal's raised boot.
David Saturn-"Sho going back to the ribs! Wise strategy both these men are in such great condition but getting out of breath at this stage..."
David Saturn-"He's setting up for the kill!"
Royal pulls Sho back up and backs Sho into the corner driving his head into Sho's ribs again. Sho whipped into the corner but he charges right back out taking out the champion with a clothesline! Sho quicker to his feet and a german suplex...1,2...and that was so close! Royal pulled to his feet and is unceremoniously knocked back to the mat with a punch right to the jaw...
David Saturn-"As blunt and direct offence as you can get, Solid punch to the jaw..."
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal could have been a world champion boxer had he chosen that profession...
David Saturn-"Well there's been fixed fights in boxing he probably would have liked that if he could win all the time. Of course in wrestling nobody intentionally takes a fall...except Rusty in the past that is...oh wait THE LOCKDOWN!"
Neal Steal-"OH NO! Help! Somebody HELP!"
David Saturn-"You stay right here!"
Sho then looks to be going for the LOCKDOWN and he applies it! Royal is trapped in the centre of the ring but he crawls desperately for the ropes and he manages to reach it! Despite his vile cheating tactics Royal is still a tremendous fighter and that took some real effort and courage there. Royal staggers to the corner and as Sho follows Royal delivers a low blow with the back of his boot!
David Saturn-"OH COME ON!"
Neal Steal-"Mr Royal didn't mean to do that. Total accident there..."
David Saturn-"Accident my ass!"
Just moments after showing such effort and fight Royal resorts back to his old tricks. The ref it appears didn't notice that but maybe he would have refused to DQ Royal if he had. The title can't change on a DQ in the AWR and Royal pushes Sho into the corner connecting with boots to the midsection. Royal is unloading on Sho here trying to stomp his lungs out...Sho is crumpled in the corner...
Neal Steal-"Stay down Sho!"
David Saturn-"Nice of Royal to pull him up then isn't it? Royal is pathetic he showed some real courage to escape that submission then he resorts to such a pathetic desperation act..."
Royal drags Sho up, whip off the ropes, Sho charges back but ducks a clothesline and on the rebound both men take each other out with clotheslines! Sho landed on his back there and Royal landed on his front. Royal manages to drape an arm across...1,2...and Sho gets a shoulder up! This is an awesome contest and both men slowly fight to their feet again!
David Saturn-"Sho gets a shoulder up! Come on Sho! Look at Royal he's furious..."
Neal Steal-"Stay down you fool! Mr Royal will not humour you for much longer!"
Both men trade punches almost like boxers on their last legs going for the KO in the final round. Sho gets the better of it and whips Royal into the corner. Sho charges in bur Royal suddenly scoops him up by the legs. Just like at Deadly Game however Sho manages to slip down the back and then he goes for his finisher! ITSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS........SHOTIME.......or is it?
David Saturn-"Sho's gonna do it again...oh wait..."
Neal Steal-"Come on Mr Royal!"
Remembering what happened weeks ago however Royal is ready and counters the move into a LIGHTS OUT!!! Royal crumples to the mat as well but manages to slowly drape his arm across Sho...1.......2............3!!! What a fight!
WINNER BY PINFALL: ANTHONY ROYAL
Neal Steal-"YAHOOOOOOOOOO!"
David Saturn-"DAMN IT!"
Neal Steal-"You saw that counter by Mr Royal! You saw it Saturn it was a brilliant counter..."
David Saturn-"Indeed it was but it could have been different if Royal hadn't connected with that low blow. That bought him some time..."
Neal Steal-"Admit Mr Royal was the better man!"
David Saturn-"He certainly pulled off a superb counter at the end there that's for sure. Not the result most of us wanted but somebody will topple Royal one day! See you next week LIVE!"
