Chrenshaw shoots Macie out... she rebounds off the ropes, ducks the leg lariat... she hits the opposite ropes, carried by her momentum... spins around... ROLLING ELBOW TO CHRENSHAW! The place is going nuts! Macie looks up to the corner - wrong one! She turns and sees Paisley! She drags herself across the length of the ring... Chrenshaw rolls out, tagging in AJ. Price signals it's legal... Macie leaps up... PAISLEY... SLIPS OFF THE APRON?! Macie crashes against the turnbuckle... Knight grabs her... KNIGHT FALL DDT!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
Knight leaps to his feet and celebrates.
SAM HEWITT:
Greetings grapple fans! Welcome to Mane Event! I'm Sam Hewitt and alongside me as always is Chad Gomez! At the top of this program, you saw footage of last week's program in which the Red Army of Ben Chrenshaw & AJ Knight defeated Macie's Day Parade to earn themselves a shot at the Great Lakes Tag Team Champions, Matt Pulver and La Cucaracha - collectively known as the Mat Mites - here tonight. In addition, our main event of the evening is a definite dream match as Iron Champion James Edwards puts his title up for grabs against one of our other bright young fighters in Corey Cruelty. CHAD GOMEZ:
Two great young fighters for sure. Edwards sits at one hundred and thirty three days as Iron Champion and we all know about Cruelty's reign as Heritage Champion - one hundred and ninety six days, six defenses. Edwards is looking to make number five here tonight. It won't be easy, that's for sure.SAM HEWITT:
It will be an interesting test for the champion who is only two weeks removed from a heartbreaking stoppage loss to Julian Cutlass in his bid for the King of the Lions Championship. We get to see how he chooses to bounce back from his only singles loss to date. CHAD GOMEZ:
Hard to say, Corey Cruelty made the most of it when La Cucaracha finally bested him and quickly got himself front and centre in the Iron title picture. SAM HEWITT:
Those two are going to battle it out in our main event, but before we get to all that - we've got our opening bout. Take it away, Jake.
JAKE AARONS:
This opening bout is to be fought over a ten minute time limit with one pinfall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from London, England! He weighs in at two hundred and thirty pounds... BAZ!
Baz lets out a war cry.
JAKE AARONS:
His opponent from Kyoto, Japan! She weighs in at one hundred and fifty pounds... FUJIKO MINE!
A decent amount of yellow streamers fill the ring and Fujiko nods in appreciation.
JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Brian Shelzi!The bell sounds to begin our night. Baz immediately closes the distance between the two and blasts his female opponent with a forearm club, then grabs her and rams her head into the top turnbuckle. He follows up the attack with a double axe handle to the back, dropping the Japanese fighter to the mat. He yanks her back up and whips her into the ropes... he tries for a clothesline but she ducks... handstand... CALF KICK! Baz goes down, Mine makes a cover! 1-KICK OUT! Mine scurries to her feet and is poised to dropkick Baz as he gets up, but he sees it and stumbles out of the way. Fujiko exercises incredible patience though and waits until Baz turns back around again and nails him with a dropkick! Baz staggers, but doesn't fall... so Mine hits him with a second dropkick! Baz is still staggering around. SAM HEWITT:
Fujiko Mine has got Baz doing the drunk stagger! Two consecutive dropkicks and the man is still on his feet!
CHAD GOMEZ:
He probably is drunk!Mine climbs onto the second rope and leaps off with a third dropkick! This time of the missile variety! Baz goes down, but quickly returns to a vertical base... only for Mine to come off the ropes... TILT A WHIRL HEADSCISSORS! She grabs the arm as they hit the mat and yanks, but Baz ever determined, fights up to his feet with her still hanging onto his arm. She applies an arm wringer as they both get back to a standing position and cranks on it to control Baz's movements each time he gets close to grabbing her, Baz goes down to a knee before she cranks on it again and brings him back up. He launches into her with a headbutt! Mine goes down and Baz grabs his arm in pain before he goes to follow up. By this point, Fujiko has recovered enough to be back on her feet and Baz invites her to hit him... a spinning back kicks to the midsection follows. Baz tries his best to no sell it, but doubl--GAMENGIRI! Baz goes down! Lateral press! 1... ... 2... KICK OUT! Mine is pushed off and Baz rolls onto his stomach then pushes off the mat to get to his feet, Mine tries to attack him before he gets to that point but the London, England native forearms her in the face! Mine is sent stumbling away holding her mush, Baz follows it up with a push kick that sends her down to the mat. He grabs her as she's attempting to pull herself up on the ropes and pulls her in... SCOOP SLAM! She lands hard, arches her back in pain but heads back to her fee--JUMPING KNEE FROM BAZ! Mine crumples to the mat and Baz makes the cover! 1... ... 2... KICK OUT! Mine rolls out to the floor and Baz is determined to go after her, but Shelzi keeps him back. Baz obliges the command to the surprise of everyone, but reaches through the ropes when Mine is attempting to get back inside. He yanks her by the hair up onto the apron and uses the ropes to choke her before double underhooking her arms and suplexing her to the inside of the ring! Mine sits up in hurt from the impact on the mat and Baz grabs her in a rear waist hold... he yanks her to her feet, then bends over... lifting her onto his shoulders... she grabs the top rope! Baz tries to pull her away, but has to let g--LUCKY SHOT~! The backflip flash kick hits and Baz timbers down to the mat! Mine covers! 1... ... 2... ... 3! Shelzi's three conincides with a pop from the crowd, Mine sits up and raises her arms before climbing to her feet. Baz rolls out of the ring holding his head in pain, while Shelzi raises Mine's arm in victory as a replay is shown of the finish. SAM HEWITT:
Quick thinking on behalf of Fujiko Mine. Baz looked to be going for his go to move in the Electric Chair Driver but Mine grabbed the top rope before he could get fully stood up, forcing him to abandon those plans... and WHAM... a flash kick when you least expect it. Look at the distance she covered...CHAD GOMEZ:
And look at the way Baz fell! Does Fujiko have a logging permit?
SAM HEWITT:
Fans, we have to take a quick commercial break but don't go away because we've got plenty more action to come!

The camera pans over to reveal our King of Lion’s Champion, Julian Cutlass, sitting with his arms crossed in a steel chair in the backroom. The glee train the fans are riding gets derailed as the camera zooms out to show sitting beside him, is Alexander Irvine. Irvine sits wearing an “UNNATURAL” tank top, jeans, and fedora. Julian wears his BLACK Lion’s Road Hoodie and sweat pants. In Julian’s left hand is a half-eaten protein bar, in Irvine’s right hand is a giant can of JaXED UP, both eyes watch the screen.
Cutlass frowns. JULIAN CUTLASS:
I’m bored. I’m just waiting for the Laurentide Cup to start. I can’t wait to get in there and see who I get to face. Are you in it?Irvine shrugs as Cutlass takes a bite out of the protein bar. JULIAN CUTLASS [chewing with his mouth full]:
Hey, don’t Jim defend the Iron title tonight against Cruelty? That could be fun. ALEXANDER IRVINE:
I don’t know, I think Corey has lost a few screws since losing to Racha. Kids today think every day is the end of the world. He even tried to compare Van der Roost and Mark Storm to me.JULIAN CUTLASS:
Who?Before Irvine can continue the back and forth, BLACK Lion’s Road’s mysterious benefactor, Wes Chubbman, kicks the door open and walks in like a chairman of the board, wearing a red tracksuit with his hands in the jacket pockets. Behind him walks Jimmy Winner holding a diet coke in each hand with straws sticking out of the top. As the men break past the doorway, other attendants come pouring carrying a folded table and trays of food. Julian’s eyes seem to water as does his mouth. Chubbman smiles. WES CHUBBMAN:
Eat up champ… you deserve it.Julian moves like a bolt of lightning to the table. With the Blazin’ King occupied, Chubbman moves towards Irvine.
WES CHUBBMAN:
But for you Alex, since you can’t seem to kill that Roach.Irvine stands up quickly as his arms unfold, Wes’ hands come up almost as quickly.
WES CHUBBMAN:
Calm down Alex. It’s not your fault, every week the cards have been stacked against you since you smashed that title. Last week that girl hit you with everything she could find, from the Heritage Championship to a t-shirt cannon, and you still were the last one standing…until she literally pulled that that chair out from under you.ALEXANDER IRVINE:
So what the fuck are you trying to get at Wes.Chubman smirks. Extending his finger and slowly tapping Irvine on the chest over and over. WES CHUBBMAN:
You. Are. Invincible my Playa.Irvine reaches up and grabs Wes’ hand as a snarl comes to his face, releasing Wes’ hand after he steps away from The Unnatural. ALEXANDER IRVINE:
I was expecting a fight and instead I got a bag full of tricks. This time while she is distracted by the ladder and title as it swings overhead. I’m going to break her body so that she has no choice, but to watch as I climb the ladder and climb my title.Chubbman smiles, as he pulls out his phone. WES CHUBBMAN:
I’m going to call Big Sal, and have him deliver me the finest wheelchair money can buy.Wes smirks as he raises the phone to his ear, walking out of the room. Leaving Irvine alone with Cutlass who now sits with a plate full of food.

LAURENTIDE CUP
BEGINS TONIGHT IN BUFFALO, NEW YORK
ENDS APRIL 20TH IN MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO
BLOCK A
JULIAN CUTLASS, KRAKEN, HAMMERSTEIN
BLOCK B
MATT PULVER, BEN CHRENSHAW, JUSTIN SEVILLE
BLOCK C
AJ KNIGHT, ROB DRAVEN, GRACE KAZOULIS
JAKE AARONS:
This Laurentide Cup Block C bout is to be fought over a ten minute time limit with one pinfall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Mt. Olympus! She weighs in at one hundred and seventy five pounds... GRACE KAZOULIS!
A great reaction for Grace, especially after successfully slamming Kraken last week.
JAKE AARONS:
Her opponent from San Antonio, Texas! He weighs in at two hundred and forty five pounds... ROB DRAVEN!
Draven raises his arms.
JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Robbie Morris!
The bell sounds and the fighters circle about, a lock-up ensues and Kazoulis drops a level, grabbing Draven's leg and taking him down to the mat. Draven reaches up and grabs the ropes, causing referee Robbie Morris to break things up and stand the two fighters up. Draven applauds the fact that Kazoulis was able to get the takedown so easily and the two quickly shake hands before Draven suggests they try a knuckle lock. Kazoulis agrees and the test of strength is on, Kazoulis doesn't really get a chance to see if she's more powerful than Draven as the Corpse sticks his head underneath her armpit and back drops her to the mat! Kazoulis gets back to her feet and applauds Draven before the two circle around and engage in a lock-up again.
CHAD GOMEZ:
I think these two respect each other too much! It's sick!
SAM HEWITT:
A ton of respect being shown in the early moments for sure. It's nice to see for a change.
Draven applies a side headlock out of the collar and elbow but it doesn't take long for Kazoulis to back him up into the ropes and shoot him off, Draven comes back with a shoulder tackle! He rides the wave of momentum, grabbing Kazoulis as she gets to her feet and hip tossing her to the mat! Kazoulis gets back up and the third lock-up of the match takes place, she pulls an arm wringer and then slowly transitions it into a standing top wrist lock. Draven is able to counter out of it and goes to a hammerlock, but Kazoulis turns around and wallops him one with a shotei palm strike! Draven staggers back into the ropes and Kazoulis sends him across... he returns and gets a shoulder block that sends him down to the mat! He pops up and Kazoulis scoops him up and holds him... showing off her strength... then slams him down on the mat! She covers!
1...
...
2-KICK OUT!
Draven gets up to his feet and Kazoulis hits him with a knife edge chop, sending him reeling backwards. She follows up with a few more before she sets him up for the ride, but Draven reverses and Kazoulis goes into the corner. She staggers out... EXPLODER SUPLEX! Kazoulis lands hard on her tail bone... Draven grabs her and tries to hook her up for a suplex but she fires off some shots to the midsection and separates the two of them. She nails him with a European uppercut and he staggers back into the ropes, but bounces out with a gut kick! Kazoulis doubles over and Draven tries for the suplex again, but Kazoulis belly to belly suplexes him!
SAM HEWITT:
Textbook belly to belly suplex! Beautiful!
Kazoulis gets up and grabs Draven from behind as he's attempting to get to his feet, but Draven elbows her in the face! She staggers back and then charges forward, the Corpse punches her in the gut and quickly follows up with a headbutt! Grace spins around, Draven clamps on a full nelson... DRAGON SUPLEX! He opts not to hold for the bridge, but instead rolls out onto the apron... climbs up, scans for any briefcases... then launches off... FROG SPLASH! He hooks the leg!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
Draven rolls off climbs to his feet, Robbie Morris raises his arm in victory and the Corpse finds the nearest camera and tells AJ Knight that he better be prepared! Draven turns around and extends his hand to Grace, pulling her to her feet. He raises her arm and exits the ring.

We cut to backstage, where Becky Chande is standing in a hallway with a microphone in her hand and her usual cheery look on her face.
BECKY CHANDE:
“Welcome back, Lion’s Road fans! I’m standing here now with the reigning and defending Great Lakes Tag Team Champions – La Cucaracha and Matt Pulver!”The camera pans out to reveal that the tag champs does indeed stand with her. Well, Cucaracha is sitting on a production crate more than standing, while Pulver stands stoically and is casually rolling his wrists. Both are dressed in their respective ring attires and have their title belts draped over their respective shoulders. BECKY CHANDE:
“Tonight is your title defense versus The Red Army. Now The Red Army has been on a roll lately and just last week, AJ Knight and Ben Chrenshaw proved to be a formidable tandem when they defeated Macie’s Day Parade to earn a shot at your titles. What are your thoughts about your opponents tonight?”MATT PULVER:
“Individually they’re both very talented and hard working competitors, and well, like you said, we’ve seen how well they work as a team. It’s just a shame what it is that united them. They could without a doubt be at the top of the division without any of Eli Buchanan’s dirty tricks. But that just means that we have to fight even harder. We have to not let up one inch and be prepared for anything at any moment. Which is easier said than done, but we are going to do everything we can to keep these titles.”
BECKY CHANDE:
“This will be your first defense since winning the titles and only your second match as a team. What are your thoughts going into this match?”Cucaracha raises an eyebrow at Becky and hops of the crate, causing her to wince and grab her lower back, before answering the question. LA CUCARACHA:
“I feel like you’re kinda leading us on with these questions, Becky. Only focusing on the negatives. You might as well bring up the fact that I’m still feeling the effects of being run over by a train named Irvine. Yes, this is our first defense and yes, this only our second match as a team. And yes, The Red Army is probably the most dangerous team in the company right now. And yes, Irvine beat me up bad last week. And yes, I’m probably still not at a 100%. And yes, I’m still feeling pieces of the announce desk in my kidneys… Wait, where was I going with this?”MATT PULVER:
“I think you were going to start talking about why we are not entirely hopeless?”LA CUCARACHA:
“Yes! We are not entirely hopeless! We still don’t know who we are as a tag team, sure. But they don’t know who we are as a tag team either. No one knows! We’re like that birthday present you find in the garage three weeks before your birthday. You don’t know what it is, but you do know that there’s something there! You hear some rustling in there, so it’s probably something good. Just like we’re probably something good too. I mean we beat Black Lion’s Road for the titles! We obviously have something going on, we just need to tap into it again tonight.”MATT PULVER:
“Ben and AJ have spent a lot of time training together and they’re obviously on the same page. But even if me and Racha are not exactly on the same page yet, we have spent a lot of time training together as well. We just need to put it all to practice and find our groove as a unit.”LA CUCARACHA:
“Maybe defending our tag team titles against two killers with a manager who’s allergic to clean finishes, the week after I went through the most hellacious beating of my life, isn’t the best time to ‘try to find our groove’. But hey, we didn’t become professional fighters to take it easy. We’re here to fight!”BECKY CHANDE:
“And what a fight it will be! Thank you for your time and good luck, guys!”
LA CUCARACHA:
“Thanks, Becky! I'll give AJ an extra kick to the face from you, I promise.”Matt nods and follows Cucaracha, who hobbles off into the distance, leaving the scene to fade to black.

SAM HEWITT:
Welcome back, fans - we're just moments away from our second Laurentide Cup bout here tonight. A Block A match between Hammerstein and Kraken.
CHAD GOMEZ:
What a terrible way to come back.SAM HEWITT:
What do you mean?CHAD GOMEZ:
Hammerstein, he's already a poor mentally deficient guy who just got cleared to return after being out from the beating that El Hijo de Pollo gave him and now he's going to take on the four hundred and fifty pound... Kraken? If he... IF HE survives then he's still gotta face Julian Cutlass in a few we-- "Outlaw in Me" by the Lacs begins to play. CHAD GOMEZ:
...the hell is this? It's awful.SAM HEWITT:
The rumour mill was running wild this week about a new signing. Could it be?CHAD GOMEZ:
Yes, this song is definitely awful. The sliding door slides open in the mouth of the lion’s head and slowly strolling out is Sutton with his girl Lilly Mae by his side. Lilly Mae rocking shorty shorts and a cut up Redneck Remedy tee that shows off the “girls” that are magically being held in by the cut off tee and she is carrying Sutton’s championship title from another promotion. They step out from the lion’s mouth and a few super die hard fans start to freak out starting up a “HOLY SHIT” chant. Sutton emerges in his Wrangler jeans, black #3 Dale Earnhardt t-shirt then stops once they get past the lion’s head and begins to scan the crowd. SAM HEWITT:
Sutton is here!CHAD GOMEZ:
Oh, boy... another hillbilly.SAM HEWITT:
That's one of his names - Hillbilly Sutton, he's also gone by Nascar Bill-
CHAD GOMEZ:
How prestigious.SAM HEWITT:
He has spent most of his time in the American south land. CHAD GOMEZ:
Yeah, yeah, I've heard of him. You don't write the number one critically acclaimed sheet in all of the land without hearing about his battles with Arch Stanton, Heat, John Raide and Billy Danielson. I was just hoping our next signing would raise the promotion's average IQ not drop it.
Sutton looks at his girl Lilly and gives her a quick kiss and as he does he knocks the belt off her shoulder and the two make their way down to the ring. MANDEVILLE NELSON:
I’ll be right back.
CHAD GOMEZ:
You go decipher what he has to say through his chew filled mouth. Good idea, Mandy. Tell them to ban that shit he walked out to while you're at it. Can we get an executive order to ban country rap? Please, Mr. Trump? I voted for you! Sutton and Lilly Mae climb into the ring to a round of cheers from the fans in attendance. Lilly hams it up while Sutton takes a couple of steps to the center of the mat and looks down at the Lion's Road logo. He places his hands on his hips as Mandeville Nelson quickly climbs into the ring himself as the music fades out, which Chad Gomez stands up and applauds the sound guy. MANDEVILLE NELSON:
This is a surprise! Man, I saw those tweets last week and I was hoping this was going to happen! It is a pleasure to have you here in Lion's Road! You are... a marvellous talent! I have heard stories, I've watched you coming up out of the South from places like Knoxville and the UWL and the ATL. What brings you up to the Great Lakes? Mandeville holds the mic up to Sutton who is still looking down at the logo on the mat and says nothing. Lilly Mae stands in one of the corners doing little sexy poses for the fans.
MANDEVILLE NELSON:
Hmm... okay, well... what are your plans? Your goals here in Lion's Road? Sutton slowly looks up from the mat and looks out into the crowd which gets a response. He then slowly turns his head and looks at Mandeville Nelson and looks him in the eye for a second before looking down at the mic. Sutton raises his hand up and puts his hand around the mic and yanks it from Mandeville. Sutton looks down at the mat for a second and then looks back at Nelson and points to the logo. SUTTON:
Nelson! Dat right there! This here ring! As of right dis here second…Lilly struts over and joins Sutton by his side. SUTTON:
It’s all...Sutton pauses for dramatic effect. SUTTON:
MINE!The fans give a mixed reaction to that comment as Sutton drops the mic, Nelson dives to catch it as Sutton throws his arms out. "Outlaw in Me" begins again, causing an agitated Chad Gomez to slam his head against the desk. CHAD GOMEZ:
First of all, I don't know they do it down in the South but there's no squatters rights up here. He can't just claim this ring! And second, TURN OFF THE MUSIC!SAM HEWITT:
We'll be right back fans, Hammerstein vs. Kraken after the break!

We return from break, Hammerstein is making his way to the ring to a great reaction from the Buffalo fans. Kraken stands waiting inside the ring, Eli Buchanan on the apron shouting to him in French, trying his best to shout over the crowd at least. Hammerstein climbs through the ropes and gets blasted by a big boot from Kraken! Hammer falls to the mat but scrambles to his feet and begins exchanging blows with the big man! Buster Powell calls for the opening bell and Kraken headbutts Hammerstein, who falls back into the corner but reemerges with a boot to Kraken's rotund midsection... and a BIONIC ELBOW! Kraken staggers backwards, Hammerstein runs in... TOMAHAWK CHOP! Kraken stumbles about some more on his wobbly legs. Hammerstein grabs him and uses all of his might to Irish whip Kraken into the corner and nearly moves the ring in the process! Hammerstein charges in... BOOT TO THE FACE! CHAD GOMEZ:
That'll teach him! Hammerstein struggles to climb back up on his feet, so much so that Powell begins counting him out on the mat. Hammerstein gets up at six and Kraken immediately grabs him in a bearhug... the fans deflate a bit as Hammerstein cries out in pain as Kraken lifts the man like he's weightless and rag dolls him back and forth! Hammer tries dropping elbows onto the top of Kraken's skull, but the big man keeps a firm grip on his waist hold. Hammerstein rears back and headbutts Kraken, staggering the big man but making himself woozy in the process. Despite this, Kraken keeps the bearhug applied! Hammerstein draws his elbow back and smashes it onto Kraken's head once more! Kraken's grip loosens and Hammer headbutts him again! Kraken staggers backwards, inadvertently flapjacking Hammer onto the top rope in the process! Kraken stands up straight and grabs Hammer's arm, dragging him into the centre of the ring before headbutting his elbow! Hammerstein falls to a knee and Kraken clubs him in the head with his forearm to drop him to the mat! Kraken stomps the arm and then tells the Buffalo fans to SHUT UP! with their chants of HAMMER! HAMMER! HAMMER! SAM HEWITT:
Kraken doing some technical work! He attacked the arm, then stomped it - it's a sound strategy! Take out an opponent's dominant hand or arm and it creates all kinds of problems for him.CHAD GOMEZ:
Multiply those by the fact that it's Kraken he's in there with! All kinds of even bigger problems! Kraken grabs Hammer as he's getting up and chucks him into the corner, grabbing the arm and pushing it over the top rope and then back in... using the rope for leverage as he cranks the arm! Kraken's count reaches four before he lets go, but quickly grabs it again and drives his massive shoulder into Hammer's arm! Hammer cries out in pain as Kraken is pulled back by Buster Powell, but the Quebec native shoves the referee aside and grabs Hammerstein... whipping him across the ring. Kraken charges in... NO ONE HOME! Kraken staggers backwards, Hammerstein turns and grabs hi-BODY-NO! Eli Buchanan cackles on the outside as Kraken blocks the attempt and clubs Hammerstein in the back, dropping him on all fours... Kraken grabs Hammer's arm and elbow drops it - driving all of his weight down onto it! Kraken gets up, grabs the arm and drags Hammerstein back up to his feet and applies a double wrist lock. Hammerstein writhes in pain, but the fans soon call out HAMMER! HAMMER! HAMMER! and his free arm comes alive... hacking at Kraken's hamstring! The shots are effective enough that Hammerstein is able to wiggle free a bit and drive his knee into the hamstring, knocking Kraken off balance and back into the ropes to cause a break. SAM HEWITT:
And again, another good strategy but this time on behalf of Hammerstein - utilizing attacks to the hamstring area of the big man in an attempt to immobilize him. CHAD GOMEZ:
I dunno, there's a lot of meat on those bones so it could take a while.Kraken and Hammerstein get into a bit of a slug fest coming off the ropes until Kraken grabs Hammer's arm and turns, drawing it over his shoulder... Kraken lifts it up and slams it down over his shoulder causing Hammerstein to grab Kraken's mask and yank! To the surprise of everyone, it's enough force to bring the big man down to the mat! A huge pop is followed by HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! chants. Despite this, Kraken is still back up on his feet before Hammerstein is... and boots him in the gut! He grabs the arm again and applies a hammerlock. Hammerstein drives his fist into Kraken's midsection several times but this only appears to aggravate him... Kraken knees him in the gut then throws an arm over his head, applying a front facelock... the crowd gasps as Kraken lifts Hammerstein up into the air... holds him there... 5 seconds... 10 seconds... 15 seconds.... SLAM! Hammerstein gets suplexed to the mat! Kraken gets up and backs into the ropes, Eli tells him to squash him! CHAD GOMEZ:
Come on! Do it!Kraken nods and charges across the ring, leaps into the air... NO ONE HOME! SAM HEWITT:
Kraken crash and burn!The big man splashes nothing but mat, gets back up onto his knees and Hammerstein boots him in the stomach and pulls him to his feet. Kraken's sheer power whips Hammerstein into the ropes, Hammerstein comes back and decks Kraken with a lariat! The big man staggers, but doesn't even fall to a kne--HAMMERSTEIN GRABS HIM! HE BODY SLAMS KRAKEN! The crowd explodes with holy shit chants as Hammerstein falls backwards and hits the mat! Both men down! Powell stands looking rather shocked, but then begins counting both men. 1... 2... 3... Buchanan hits the mat with a fury, trying to get a rise out of his client. 4... 5... 6... Kraken lifts his head and tries to roll onto his side, Hammerstein rolls onto his stomach. 7... 8... 9... Hammerstein tries to get up on his knees but collapses. Kraken is still down! 10! The bell sounds and the fans boo, Eli Buchanan gets up into the ring and attends to his client, rolling him onto his side and trying to get him up on his feet. Buchanan doesn't have the patience to wait for him though and sees Hammerstein getting up across the ring. He grabs the briefcase and smacks Hammerstein in the back with it! Hammer reacts as if he's been shot, arching his back as he falls down to his knees. Buchanan puts the boots to him, Kraken gets to his knees... Ben Chrenshaw and AJ Knight both run down to help out to a chorus of boos. Kraken stands up but falls back against the turnbuckles, Buchanan directs traffic - ordering Chrenshaw and Knight to hold Hammerstein's arms and legs. They do and Buchanan tells Kraken to crush him! Kraken nods and pulls himself up out of the corner but the fans pop huge! SAM HEWITT:
Here come the Tag Team Champions!The Mat Mites, Matt Pulver and La Cucaracha charge down the aisle, dropping their titles at the broadcast booth before sliding into the ring! Cucaracha takes AJ while Pulver and Chrenshaw go at it! Buchanan grabs Kraken and tries to order him out of the ring, but the big man wants to stay and fight! Buchanan calms down a bit and speaks French, Kraken nods and exits the ring and the duo head to the back. SAM HEWITT:
Fans! We have to take a quick break - it looks our tag team title match is already underway!

Indeed, the proper introductions have been tossed out the window and our tag team title match has already begun when we return from break. Eli Buchanan saunters back down to ringside, mouthing off Hammerstein as some stage hands helping him to the back. Security steps in between and ensures that Hammerstein continues to the back and Buchanan goes down to ringside. AJ Knight is perched on the second rope, Matt Pulver tries to cut him off but Chrenshaw walks over close to them, drawing the attention of referee Cordell Garner who orders the Crippler back to the corner. Knight uses this opportunity to rake Pulver's eyes then punches him in the face! Pulver stumbles away from the corner and AJ hops down, blasting Pulver with a forearm! Pulver falls to the mat and AJ makes the tag to Chrenshaw, who comes in slowly and watches as Pulver rolls onto his stomach and tries to pull himself toward his corner. Chrenshaw sizes him up and drops an elbow onto his lower back before rolling off, grabbing Pulver's legs and crossing them over each other. Chrenshaw then hooks then inside his thigh and leans forward, Pulver tries to reach out for the tag... but Chrenshaw grabs his hair! Garner warns him about it, Chrenshaw holds out his palm and then drives it into Pulver's lower back all the while leaning forward creating unreal pressure on his rival's legs. Chrenshaw abandons this and drops a knee on Pulver's lower back. SAM HEWITT:
A common question I hear from fans is why fighters will release holds like that. It was clear that Pulver wasn't really in the position to grab the ropes and didn't appear to have an escape, but you have to think about conserving your energy - a fighter may not be able to break out of the hold, but if he hasn't submitted after a good thirty seconds or so the person applying the hold is going to be tired and it makes the hold a lot more challenging to hang onto. So, if you let - you can keep the advantage rather than risk wearing yourself out.
CHAD GOMEZ:
And in this specific case, Ben Chrenshaw knows just how much punishment Matt Pulver is take. Chrenshaw drags Pulver to his feet and knees him in the gut before applying a front chancery, he backs up and lets AJ Knight tag himself in. Knight comes in and takes over the front chancery, Chrenshaw exits as Knight suplexes Pulver down to the mat! Knight gets up and fakes a punch at Cucaracha, drawing her into the ring - Garner stops her and Buchanan grabs Pulver as he's trying to pull himself up near the ropes and begins choking him using the ropes! Knight grabs Pulver as Buchanan walks away, Garner warns them there have better not been any funny business and of course Buchanan denies it. Knight pulls Pulver over near the corner, tags in Chrenshaw and facebusters Pulver into the mat. Chrenshaw gets in and applies a spinning toe hold, slyly smirking at Cucaracha each time he cranks on the hold. Chrenshaw reaches back and tags in Knight, who drops off the apron and pulls Pulver's leg out under the bottom rope so that his entire lower half is hanging outside the ring. Chrenshaw exits to the apron, rushes forward... LEG DROP TO PULVER'S LEG! Pulver cries out in pain and tries to crawl back inside quickly and tag Cucaracha, but Knight slithers in and clamps on a grounded side headlock and begins talking smack to Cucaracha as he wrenches in the pressure on the hold. CHAD GOMEZ:
Look at this - Eli Buchanan and Ben Chrenshaw have created an all new AJ Knight.SAM HEWITT:
Even during his initial days in the promotion, AJ Knight was a cocky kid.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Yes, but look how he's harnessing it. He's got Pulver dead centre in the middle of the ring, riling up La Cucaracha on the apron and he and Chrenshaw are keeping each other as close to one hundred percent as they can.Pulver fights up to his feet and begins elbowing Knight, Knight readjusts and clamps down on a front chancery... Pulver adjusts himself, sticking a leg behind Knight's... ROLLS FORWARD! GANNOSUKE CLUTCH! 1... ... 2-KICK OUT! Pulver crawls for Cucaracha immediately after the failed attempt, Knight rolls out and Chrenshaw charges into the ring... CHOP BLOCKING PULVER JUST AS HE STANDS! Pulver was inches away from making the tag to Cucaracha! Chrenshaw grabs Pulver's legs and drags him back into the centre of the ring, crossing them over like he did earlier and leaning onto them. He opens his palm again and drives it into the small of Pulver's back, then balls his fist up... driving it to the same region! Pulver cries out in pain, reaching for Cucaracha. The Crippler gets up, keeping a hold of the legs and drops an elbow on the small of Pulver's back. The former Heritage and Iron Champion lets go and gets to his feet, grabbing Pulver and looks poised to toss him out of the ring... but Chrenshaw changes directions and slams him face down into the mat while chuckling at Cucaracha. The Canadian Cockroach grimaces from the apron then begins slapping the turnbuckle, trying to rally the fans behind Pulver. Chrenshaw pulls Pulver up to his feet and tags in Knight, who comes in and dropkicks Pulver's leg out from underneath him! Pulver crashes face down into the mat again, Knight pulls him up to his knees and begins slapping him then hits the ropes... Knight gets caught! NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX FROM PULVER! Knight rolls out of the ring, Chrenshaw is tagged in and charges in... but PULVER TAGS CUCARACHA! SAM HEWITT:
Here comes the Heritage Champion!She leaps over the top rope and ducks underneath Chrenshaw's clothesline attempt, pops up and feeds the man she beat for the belt in her first reign a quick forearm! Chrenshaw staggers and eats a second! Knight gets up into the ring and he is met with a forearm also! Buchanan tells his guys to drop out of the ring and they do. The fans boo as Cucaracha stands tall inside the ring, egging them on. CHAD GOMEZ:
What a great manager Eli Buchanan is! La Cucaracha came in with all kinds of momentum so what does he do? He tells his men to stand down and let the Cockroach come back down to Earth!Chrenshaw climbs back inside the ring and he and Cucaracha circle around one another before she swoops in, drop toe holds him and double stomps his back! She drops down, putting her knee into Chrenshaw's back while clutching under his chin with both hands... Chrenshaw plants both of his fists into the mat and begins fighting back to his feet so Cucaracha lets go and hits the ropes... Knight kicks her in the back as she bounces off. Chrenshaw catches her before she falls down and whips her into the ropes, a spinning back elbow follows and the Heritage Champion goes down! The Crippler tags in the Knight, who marches in... waits for Cucaracha to get up and blasts her with a forearm, knocking her back into the corner turnbuckles. He pulls her out... SCOOP SLAM! Knight drops down to the mat and rolls out, Chrenshaw climbs back in and drops a knee on Cucaracha's back. He rolls her over and covers! 1... ... 2... KICK OUT! Chrenshaw pulls the Heritage Champion to her feet and snaps her over, suplexing her down to the mat! Chrenshaw rolls out of the ring and Knight comes back in and stomps her back as she tries to crawl toward Pulver. Knight applies a grounded half nelson and slowly pulls her to her feet... Cucaracha tries to sit out and avoid it, but Knight over powers her and half nelson suplexes her across the ring! Knight rolls out, Chrenshaw comes back in... pulls Cucaracha to her feet and hoists her onto his shoulder... he walks over and drops her face first onto the turnbuckle next to AJ on the apron. The Crippler tags in AJ again, who comes in and stalks the Heritage Champ... SUPERKI-NO! Cucaracha ducks! She goes for the Bug Zapper! Knight pushes her forward, she crashes to the mat and rolls out of the ring... AJ Knight tries to stop it, but Matt Pulver is already in the ring as he turns around! FOREARM! FOREARM! FOREARM! Pulver whips Knight into the ropes, Ben Chrenshaw comes in in an attempt to cut Pulver off but Matt Wrestling dodges the attack and sends the Red Army members into each other! Chrenshaw falls to the mat and rolls out of the ring. Pulver grabs AJ in a rear waist hold and tries to German suplex him... but AJ fights it and does a go behind. He tries to German suplex Pulver, but Pulver rolls forward... VICTORY ROLL! 1... ... 2-AJ kicks out, pushing Pulver out of the ring! Cucaracha slides in and grabs AJ in a rear waist hold, pushes him into the ropes... O CONNOR ROLL! 1... ... 2... ... ELI BREAKS IT UP! Referee Cordell Garner calls for the bell, but Eli Buchanan doesn't seem to care. He puts the boots to Cucaracha, Pulver tries to help but Chrenshaw grabs him. AJ gets up and Eli throws Cucaracha to him... KNIGHT FALL DDT! Pulver knocks Chrenshaw to the ground and charges in, the Army bails out and Chrenshaw greets them in the aisle. Pulver gets up and yells at them, but all Buchanan has to say is... "YOUR DAY'S COMING!" SAM HEWITT:
The Mat Mites retain, La Cucaracha nearly scored the victory with her quick thinking and even quicker roll-up on AJ Knight but Eli Buchanan broke up the pin, giving his team the disqualification. CHAD GOMEZ:
Great coaching move!
SAM HEWITT:
How's that?CHAD GOMEZ:
Do you really want your guy thinking he cost his team two championship bouts? The Red Army did everything right in this one, so why should they lose like that? Protect your interests!
SAM HEWITT:
Well, I guess. Anyway, fans! Our main event is up next so don't you dare miss it!

'The Preacher is rattled.'
The latest video uploaded to the Lions' Road website opens to current number one contender to the Iron Championship, Corey Cruelty, sitting in his swivel chair once again. Like before, however, the youth quickly spins around to face the camera as he continues:
'What's the matter, Edwards? Struck a nerve? You seem a little too eager to make me look bad, bud. Is it 'cause you're nervous? Is it 'cause you know what's coming at you on Thursday, and you're trying to convince yourself I'm not a threat and the same thing won't happen twice in a row? 'Cause you sure as hell seem to do a lot of that preaching-to-the-choir bullshit in your videos...'
The King of Cruelty smirks.
'Whatever it is, I'm not buying what you're selling. And neither are you. You can't honestly believe half of that bullshit you spewed about me, right?'
Corey shakes his head in disbelief.
'And you people wonder why you lose my respect...'
The Prince of Darkness turns a scorching gaze to the camera.
'All right, Edwards. If that's how you wanna play it, fine. I tried to go easy on you. I tried to just talk about the match. But you just had to go and poke the wolf, didn't you?! Well, you got your wish. You woke up the sleeping giant.
I hope you're wearing some damn fine armor.'
Cruelty grins, a dangerous, predatory grin.
'Now...let's go over some of these claims you made. Like how I don't respect you. See, the thing is, Edwards, you, and most people, mistake respecting for kissing ass. I respect you enough not to take this match for granted, just like Cucaracha respected me enough not to take our last match for granted. I respect you enough to know, on Thursday, I'm gonna have to go to my limit to beat you and achieve my goal. But I'm not going to roll over and submit just 'cause I happen to respect you as a fighter.'
Corey's smirk devolves into a serious expression.
'See, James...I'm not like you. I don't shit my pants just 'cause the person across the ring is intimidating. If I did, Mark Storm would have been Heritage Champion. And because you do, Julian Cutlass is still the King of Lions.'
The smirk momentarily returns to Cruelty's face, only to quickly dissipate again as he continues:
'But that's not all you had to say, James, is it? Ohhh, no. Apparently, aside from disrespectful, I'm also a cheater. 'Cause you know, every single match I've had started with a run-in and ended with a low blow...'
Corey's sarcastic tone quickly gives way to one of anger as he proceeds:
'Seriously, do you people even listen to yourselves? I took a shortcut ONE TIME, Edwards. Against someone who had it coming anyway for being a smug, patronizing fucking prick. In fact, when Rob Draven interfered in my match the other week, and I found out, I chewed that fucker out. So why don't you tell me more about what an awful cheater I am, you sanctimonious, holier-than-thou fucking jackass?'
Cruelty's cool veneer has totally cracked at this point, but the former Champion seems more than content to ride his anger.
'See? It's that kind of narrative that makes me call out this company and everyone in it. You wanna talk about how I say life is unfair? Easy for you to talk. You're the fucking golden goose. I'm the black sheep. Every time I aim for something, the rules mysteriously change. Every time I want to get somewhere, I have to row upstream. And every time I do get there, my achievement is fucking buried. So again, why don't YOU, with your one-move title defences and your green-as-grass rookie challengers, tell ME more about what is and isn't fair?'
By this point, Corey is unmistakably agitated, and it takes considerable willpower on his part to calm himself down enough to conclude:
'Edwards...until now, this wasn't personal. Until now, this was just a dream match between the two most dominant athletes in Lions' Road. But now? Now you fucked up. Now you've gone and make me angry. And on Thursday, when I drop you on your head, knock your lights out and take your title, you're gonna learn one thing...
...you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.'
It is on these words, and another smirk from the Iron challenger, that the video ends.

JAKE AARONS:
This main event bout is to be fought with television time remaining and is for the Iron Championship!
The fans cheer.
JAKE AARONS:
Introducing first - the challenger! From Duluth, Minnesota! He weighs in at two hundred and ten pounds... COREY CRUELTY!
The lights dim and lightning effects dart across the venue as the opening riffs to Metallica's 'Harvester of Sorrow' echoes through the venue. As the song transitions to quiet guitar noodling, a lone figure emerges. Corey Cruelty poses in the lion's mouth, head bowed low and arms forming an X over his crotch. As the lone chord interrupts the noodling he throws his arms out, 'opening' the X. He stalls in this position for a few seconds, then, as the drums kick back in and the tempo picks up again, he begins to make his way down to the ring, Kassie Dark following closely behind.
JAKE AARONS:
His opponent! From Lexington, Kentucky! He weighs in at two hundred and four pounds... the current, reigning an defending Iron Champion! JAMES EDWARDS!
The house lights go down. The venue remains black as the garbled, distorted guitar riff plays on.
"Okay..."
Strobe lights move with the easy beat of the song, James Edwards appears in the entrance with the hood on his ring jacket up. He takes a few moments, surveying everything around him before yanking the hood down when the opening lyrics kick in. Moving with the meandering pace of the music, his eyes never leave the ring. He takes a lap around the squared circle and then slides underneath the bottom rope. All four corners each get a martial arts bow before he settles back into his own. He removes his Iron Championship and hands it to a stage hand.
JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Xavier Price!
Price quickly checks over both men and asks them if they're ready, they each nod yes and the bell sounds. Both men charge to the centre of the ring nailing simultaneous elbow strikes! Cruelty gets staggered a bit but comes back, squares up and the two begin unleashing elbows galore on each other! Edwards eventually gains the upper hand, staggering Cruelty again and goes for a high kick that misses by a hair! Edwards uses a push kick to knock Cruelty off balance and send him into the corner. The Iron Champion grabs him and Irish whips him across the ring into the opposing corner. Edwards turns around and waits for Cruelty to hit the 'buckles to charge in then does, but Cruelty explodes out of the corner and nearly decapitates Edwards with a lariat! Cruelty staggers back into the ropes holding his arm in pain.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Look! He's holding his own arm! That's how hard he hit him! I think he may have sent James Edwards back in time with that lariat!
Cruelty stands up as Edwards groggily gets to his feet, then the two come face to face. Edwards tells Cruelty to hit him and he obliges, Cruelty says "GIMME YOUR BEST" and Edwards wallops him. Cruelty doubles over in pain, but comes back up with a mouthful of blood and spits in Edwards' face! The two begin trading elbow strikes again before Cruelty drives a knee into Edwards' gut, hits him with an elbow and then backs up into the ropes... he charges in... Edwards ducks the Yakuza kick and bounces off the ropes... POLE SHIFT KAI! He nails Cruelty with a Yakuza kick of his own! Cruelty spins and falls onto all fours, Edwards drops down and begins feeding knees into his midsection! Price tells Cruelty to defend or he's stopping the match and the challenger staggers to his feet, shoving Edwards away as he retreats to the corner. Edwards stays on top of him though and spins him around... only to get a forearm in the face! Edwards then gets hit with an elbow shot! He staggers away, Cruelty tries to chase him down but winds up eating a kick to the chest for it!
SAM HEWITT:
This is a slug fest!
Cruelty falls back into the corner but gets to his feet when he sees Edwards coming, a barrage of forearms from Edwards follow the kick and the champion backs away before the count of five. Edwards pushes Price aside and looks to the crowd, then spins around and cracks Cruelty with a backfist! He does it again! DOUBLE TAP! Edwards backs away, but the challenger gets up and says something to him that causes Edwards to come back and double tap him again! Edwards begins to back away, but says FUCK IT and cracks Cruelty with another set of backfists! Cruelty crumples to the mat and Price orders Edwards to stay back as he counts. Cruelty rolls out to the floor and takes a walk, Edwards remains in the ring clearly not willing to play Cruelty's game and certainly not wanting to lose a point.
JAKE AARONS:
Corey Cruelty has been docked a point for exiting the ring! Four remain!
Cruelty gets back in and Edwards jumps on him, yanking him to his feet only to snapmare him down to the mat - Edwards follows with a soccer kick to the back that causes Cruelty to arch his back and leap to his feet. Edwards chases him down, but Cruelty kicks him in the solar plexus! Edwards is yanked into position... but the Iron Champion back drops him! Cruelty gets back to his feet and barely has time, but leaps up and catches James Edwards with a knee! The champion goes down and a monster pop occurs as Price begins the count.
SAM HEWITT:
Corey Cruelty just caught James Edwards with a helluva of a knee! He didn't get knocked clean out by it, but he may not be able to answer this ten count!
Edwards stubbornly gets to his feet, pulling himself up with the ropes just before the count of four. Edwards asks him if that's the best he's got - Cruelty shrugs and starts toward him, but the champion catches him with a palm strike! Cruelty staggers back but then lunges forward and clocks Edwards with a headbutt... the champion drops to a knee after trying to remain on wobbly legs... Cruelty backs into the ropes... bounces off... CRUCIFIX DRIVER! He holds for the pin!
1...
...
2-KICK OUT!
JAKE AARONS:
Two pinfall attempts remain for Corey Cruelty!
Cruelty begins hammer fisting Edwards from the crucifix position, forcing Edwards to show off some flexibility as he has to accordion himself to put his foot on the top rope to break the hold.
JAKE AARONS:
James Edwards has been docked a point for utilizing a rope break! Four remain!
Cruelty gets up and yanks Edwards into position for the Oblivion, but Edwards hoists him up... Cruelty sunset flips him!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
NO!
ONLY TWO!
SAM HEWITT:
The sunset flip was successful against Alexander Irvine in the Heritage Cup when Irvine kept blocking Cruelty's attempts to hit the Oblivion, and it nearly scored the win here but Edwards kicks out in the nick of time!
JAKE AARONS:
One pinfall attempt remains for Corey Cruelty!
Cruelty argues the call.
CHAD GOMEZ:
This puts Cruelty's back against the wall. We know if he hits Oblivion, he can get the three but he's got one chance for it. The Oblivion is a great move but can it keep someone down for a ten count?
Cruelty tries to grab Edwards as he gets to his feet, but gets forearmed in the face. Cruelty falls to a knee and Edwards tries to grab him up, but gets a headbutt for his efforts! Cruelty leaps to his feet... LEG LARIAT! He wastes little time, scrambling back up to a vertical base and grabs Edwards... pulls him in... he hoists him up... OBLI-NO! POWERBOMB! Edwards hits the mat with a thud and Cruelty hurriedly grabs him up, trying to pull him into position for the Oblivion... Edwards makes that task rather difficult though. When Cruelty finally does, Edwards drives Cruelty into the 'buckles! Edwards backs away... Cruelty tries to attack, but Edwards ducks... HALF CUT! The half nelson suplex drops Edwards on his head! Both men are down! Edwards seemingly remembers the pinfalls and rolls over to cover.
1...
...
2...
KICK OUT!
JAKE AARONS:
Two pinfalls remain for James Edwards!
Edwards sits up and gets to his feet, pulling Cruelty up with him. Cruelty yanks his tights though, sending Edwards careening into the corner turnbuckles. The former Heritage Champion drives a knee into Edwards' back as he rebounds out of the corner, sending him back in... then grabs an inverted face lock. He hoists Edwards up... and over... dropping him face first onto the mat! Cruelty gets up, grabs Edwards as he's pulling himself up off the mat and hooks the arms... JOIN ME IN DA-NO! Edwards wiggles free, pushes Cruelty into the ropes and catches him on the rebound in a rear waist hold... GERMAN SU-NO! Cruelty lands on his feet... KICK TO THE GUT AS EDWARDS TURNS AROUND! OBLIVIO-NO! Edwards hoists him onto his shoulders... fireman's carry takedown, Cruelty scrambles back up... ACE CRUSHER FROM EDWARDS!
1...
...
2...
...
3-NO!
JAKE AARONS:
One pinfall remains for James Edwards!
SAM HEWITT:
Each fighter has one pinfall left - I'd give the advantage to Edwards in this situation. We know he's got the knockout power... we know he's got submission skills. He can win without pinfalls. Can Cruelty?
Edwards is barely on his feet as he leaps up and stomps Cruelty's chest causing the challenger to sit up... Edwards backs into the corner... could it be!? Cruelty scrambles to his feet to avoid it! Edwards rushes over and kicks him in the stomach, Cruelty falls to the mat holding his groin! Price calls a stop to the action and orders Edwards into the corner. The champion is fuming - telling Price he kicked him in the stomach! A quick replay shows that it wasn't quite the stomach, more the pelvis but certainly not the kit and kaboodle. Cruelty is helped to the corner and Price tells Aarons the situation.
JAKE AARONS:
Corey Cruelty suffered an inadvertent low blow. He will have two minutes to recuperate! James Edwards has been docked three points as a result! One remains!
Price turns back to Edwards, telling him to stay back and Cruelty flashes a smile then winks. Edwards storms out of the corner and Price nearly has to tackle him to keep him from attacking his challenger. Cruelty milks the two minutes dry before nodding when Price asks him if he's ready to go. Edwards is none too happy at this point and when the bell sounds to restart the bout where they left of... Edwards charges after Cruelty, who drops out of the ring!
JAKE AARONS:
Corey Cruelty has been docked a point for exiting the ring! Three remain!
In his haste, Edwards almost exits the ring after him but stops... Cruelty sneers at him... Edwards backs up and 'rolls out the welcome mat' for him to get back inside the ring. Cruelty takes his time again, waiting until nine to climb back inside. Edwards by virtue of his points remaining begrudgingly waits for Cruelty to get to his feet, but when he does... he charges him, Cruelty dodges the attack but Edwards leaps onto the second rope and springboards off... LARIAT! Cruelty goes down, but scrambles back up to his feet... Edwards ducks behind him... throws his arm over... grabs the leg... FOXFI-NO! Cruelty lands on his feet, hoofs Edwards in the gut... Edwards doubles over but lifts up and slaps the shit out of Cruelty! The former Heritage Champion staggers over, falling to his knees... Edwards goes to grab him... Cruelty grabs Price to obtain some footing and forces him out of position! With the referee turned away... CRUELTY HOOFS HIM IN THE GROIN! Edwards doubles over... OBLIVION PILEDRIVER! Cruelty grabs his face in pain as he drops on top of Edwards.
1...
...
2...
...
3!
Cruelty rolls out to the floor, still holding his face... referee Xavier Price hands him the Iron Championship to a raucous amount of boos from the Buffalo crowd. Kassie Dark looks at her man disapprovingly, but shows concern when he falls to his knees struggling to maintain his balance.
CHAD GOMEZ:
It appears Edwards slapped him so hard he gave him vertigo!
SAM HEWITT:
I can't believe it... he'd stoop to that kind of low to obtain the championship like that.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Hey! Edwards kicked him low fir--
SAM HEWITT:
Oh, can it. That was a legal kick.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Whatever you say, boss.
SAM HEWITT:
Fans, I'm sorry the match had to end like that... but we're out of time for this week. My name is Sam Hewitt. For Chad Gomez and Mandeville Nelson! See ya next week!
Edwards stares up the aisle despite his obvious pain, the new champion and former champion lock eyes... and if looks could kill, Cruelty would be a dead man.
Maybe he is.
