We open to Mandeville Nelson’s booth up on the entrance stage, where the ringside reporter greets the fans with his usual enthusiasm.
MANDEVILLE NELSON:
Greetings from the Lion's Road! Welcome to Mane Event! On last week’s program we saw Alexander Irvine and Ben Chrenshaw defeat La Cucaracha and Matt Pulver for the Great Lakes Tag Team Championship. The victory was not without controversy though. I’m joined at this time, via satellite from Japan, one half of the former tag team champions – Matt Pulver! Thank you for joining me, Matt.Matt Pulver shows up on the screen, filmed by a pretty high quality webcam, with white walls and a pair of shoji screen doors behind him. Proudly wearing a Lion’s Road t-shirt and a smile, that - no matter how genuine it may be – can’t feign an enthusiasm that his tired eyes, and the bags underneath them, refuse to acknowledge. MATT PULVER:
Thanks for having me.MANDEVILLE NELSON:
There has been a lot of talk about the tag team title match last week. First of all, you’re partner La Cucaracha headed into the match not fully recovered from injuries sustained in the War Games. Then she was attacked by the challengers before the match and after ringside physicians deemed her not fit to carry on with the match, the match was called off. But you insisted to fight the match alone, and did so in a valiant effort, until La Cucaracha returned mid-match to join the fight - and what has probably been lighting up the message boards the most about this match is that you gave up the match on La Cucaracha’s behalf. Can you tell us a little bit about this decision?Because of the delay in the video feeds, we can in silence enjoy the painful expression on Matt’s face as he listens to the question and waits for it to finish.
MATT PULVER:
Well, I did what I felt was best… What was best for us as a team, but most importantly what was best for La Cucaracha. Uhm… She’s one hell of a wrestler, better than a lot of people seem to realize, and she’s got the heart of a warrior, but… Last Thursday just wasn’t her night. She wasn’t at a hundred percent; she came in with an injury and… er… I know her well enough by now that I knew she wouldn’t give up, even if Chrenshaw had ripped her spine in half, so I did what I felt was right at that moment.MANDEVILLE NELSON:
Many have likened this situation to when Kenshin Takamura threw in the towel for you in your I Quit match versus Ben Chrenshaw – which was an action you disapproved of at the time. How do you feel the two situations compare?MATT PULVER:
I don’t know, I… I mean, it’s true that I disapproved of what he did. I was disappointed and…angry to have the match end that way. Er… But at the same I understood where Kenshin was coming from, and I understand it even more so now, even if I didn’t like it. Sometimes you have to make rash decisions in that ring and if you’re in a tag team, your partner will not always agree with your decisions. Did I make the wrong decision? Maybe, but that doesn’t matter now. What is done is done and what is important is Racha’s well-being.
MANDEVILLE NELSON:
Speaking of – you told me that you had an update regarding the extent of La Cucaracha’s injuries, is that correct?MATT PULVER:
Well, not exactly. I don’t know the full extent of her injuries right now, I don’t even know if her doctors know yet. I know we have a rematch clause for the titles and hopefully she will recover soon, so we can get those titles back and have the title run I know we can have. So I don’t know what the situation is at the moment, but I’ve spoken to Racha and she asked me to tell you all that she will be in Kingston next week to give an update on her condition.Cheers and chants of “RACHA! RACHA! RACHA!” can be heard throughout the crowd. MANDEVILLE NELSON:
That’s good to hear! We all wish her a speedy recovery. Now, Matt, before we finish this interview I wanted to ask about your scheduled match versus James Edwards on the fifteenth. It will be James Edwards’ return to Lion’s Road and will determine the number one contender for the King of the Lions Championship. What are your thoughts about this match?Matt’s face lights up at the mention of the match and even his fatigued eyes shine up like two tired little light bulbs. MATT PULVER:
Well, I’m excited! I’ve wanted to face Edwards for a long time now. He’s an outstanding wrestler and I think it will be interesting to see how our styles will mesh with each other. I’ve even made some requests to face him, but for whatever reasons things just didn’t pan out that way - until now. He’ll have a lot of prove, coming back from a brief absence, and we both obviously want another shot at the King of the Lions title. I came so close to beating Cutlass last time, and if it wasn’t for that time limit, I know I could’ve done it. So I’m training the hardest I’ve ever have in my career and I plan to bring my absolute best for this match and I’m sure Edwards will too. I wouldn’t expect anything less.MANDEVILLE NELSON:
I will certainly look forward to watching that match! Thank you for your time, Matt!MATT PULVER:
Thank you.
MANDEVILLE NELSON:
There you have it, folks! Now don’t go anywhere. We’ll be right back after this!

JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen, this bout is to be fought over three five minute rounds with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Buzzard's Bay, Massachusetts! He weighs in at two hundred and thirty four pounds! NORMAL JOHN JOHNSON!Johnson waves his towel around while Irene swings his racquet wildly. JAKE AARONS
His opponent from San Antonio, Texas! He weighs in at two hundred and forty five pounds! ROB DRAVEN! Draven raises an arm but stares Johnson down, making the masked man a bit uncomfortable.
JAKE AARONS
Your referee for this bout is Brian Shelzi! The first round begins with a lock-up, Normal John Johnson and Rob Draven jostle for position... the Corpse goes behind with a rear waist hold, but Johnson is quickly able to escape and apply one of his own. Draven reaches forward and grabs the top rope to force the break, Brian Shelzi begins his count and Johnson lets go. Draven shouts at Shelzi telling him to get him back, Shelzi tells him to settle down... which results in the opposite, Draven grabs him by the collar and Johnson exchanges an "uh oh" look with Irene on the outside. Shelzi tells Draven to his hands off of him or he'll disqualify him which seems to settle Draven down a bit. Johnson and he circle around the ring again, engaging in a second collar and elbow tie-up. This time, Draven pulls a side headlock and wrenches it in tightly. Irene tells Johnson to pull the hair, but Johnson shakes his head while in the headlock sees an opening. He pushes Draven back against the ropes... he shoots him out across into the opposite set. Draven comes back with a shoulder tackle, Johnson goes down but pops right back up... Draven grabs him and looks to hip toss him but instead goes to throw him into the corner buckles... except the masked man gets a foot up and blocks it! He sends the Corpse head first into the top turnbuckle! Draven falls back to the mat and Johnson drops down for a cover! 1... ... 2-NO! Draven tries to pie face Johnson from the bottom, but Johnson grabs the arm and twists it into a hammerlock as he turns Draven onto his stomach. Johnson really torques on it, but Draven is able to drag his body over a couple inches and drape his foot across the bottom rope. Draven grabs onto Johnson's hand, preventing him from letting go and begins criticizing Shelzi! Shelzi begins his five count but at four, Johnson is able to yank his hand free. He tries to tell Shelzi what was happening, but Draven leaps up and clobbers him! Shelzi backs Draven up, telling him to calm down - Shelzi is shoved aside and Draven grabs Johnson, wringing his arm... but Johnson is able to quickly counter into own of his own! SAM HEWITT
Fans, if you're a bit confused by the actions of Rob Draven - he believes that it was incompetence on behalf of Cordell Garner that cost him the Iron Championship a few weeks back against Corey Cruelty as Cruelty repeatedly cheated throughout the bout. That's also the reason you won't see Garner officiating this evening as he's in Toronto receiving a performance review because of Draven's complaints. CHAD GOMEZ
Really? I didn't think the Laurentide Commission did anything but edit the rule book every other week.Draven yanks on the mask, forcing Shelzi to begin a five count... but by three, Johnson has let go and Draven begins kicking him driving him back into the corner. Johnson covers up and Draven unleashes an uppercut that stuns the masked man as the round comes to an end. Irene jumps up to check on Johnson as Draven continues bickering with Brian Shelzi. JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen... round two.The bell sounds to begin the second, Johnson manages to dodge Draven's initial lock-up attempt but Draven catches him with a knee as he tries to do the same on the second. The Corpse sends the Normal into the corner and charges in, but finds no one is home! Johnson grabs him by the neck and rushes out... dropping him into the mat with a one handed bulldog! Johnson sits on the mat a moment, contemplating his next move... he rolls to his feet but Draven yanks his ankle out from underneath him! Johnson falls flat on his face and Draven gets to his knees, twisting the ankle... Johnson pushes up off the mat, Draven stands up to keep the pressure applied... Johnson rolls forward... VICTORY ROLL! 1... ... 2... ... 3! Draven kicks out a second too late and rolls out of the ring as Johnson bursts to his feet. Shelzi is trying to walk away as Draven follows him, bitching away - security intervenes quickly. Meanwhile, Johnson and Irene celebrate in the centre of the ring holding hands and dancing around in circles. Johnson drops to his knees in shock as Irene calls for a microphone. It's handed to him. IRENE:
That's right, Lion's Road. THAT'S - RIGHT! Normal John Johnson is anything BUT normal. He's the fastest up and coming superstar on the Lion's Road and he's going straight to the top. Straight to the jugular. Straight to glory, dudes!Johnson gets to his feet, grabs his towel from his corner and wrap it around his neck humbly resting in the corner shaking his head in disbelief.
IRENE:
Two weeks in a row. Two wins. Two EMPHATIC wins, dudes. Is there anybody who can stop him? Is there anyone who can BEAT the greatest counter wrestler this sport has ever seen?Johnson gets out of the corner and puts his arms around Irene's shoulders, holding a victorious fist up in the air.
IRENE:
I don't think so. So, I'm putting the WHOLE Lion's Road roster on notice!Johnson's victorious fist drops by his side. IRENE:
EACH and EVERY one of you are officially on notice because JOHNNY BOY is gonna kick ALL of your asses!Shocked, Johnson tries to grab the microphone from Irene, only for him to slap John's hand away.
IRENE:
There isn't a single wrestler back there who has what it takes to beat Normal John Johnson. So come one. Come two at a time. Come THREE at a time.Barely audible, Johnson can be heard telling Irene to shut his fat mouth while trying to wrestle away the microphone.
IRENE:
Because before you know it... Julian Cutlass will be laid out like the little baby he is. Because, Julian Cutlass, John's your daddy!Irene drops the microphone and climbs a turnbuckle to celebrate with the cheering fans. Johnson drops to his knees with his hands on his head in complete disbelief about what just happened. CHAD GOMEZ:
Irene, Johnson's manager, just called out the whole Lion's Road roster!
SAM HEWITT:
And Normal John Johnson is clearly in disbelief. Does Irene know the can of worms he's just opened?CHAD GOMEZ:
I can't wait to find out.
BEN CHRENSHAW SPEAKS
WHEN MANE EVENT RETURNS

Post by Office on May 31, 2017 12:45:46 GMT -5
Back from commercial, Ben Chrenshaw is standing on the stage. He's dressed to the nines as always - wearing a black suit with a golden tie and an equally golden championship over his shoulder. Of course, his signature smirk adorns his face. CHAD GOMEZ
Has anyone had a good a month as this guy? He won the War Games for his team, he became the first man in Lion's Road to win THREE different titles when he and Alexander Irvine defeated Matt Pulver and La Cucara--shh, Sam, shh. He's going to speak.Ben turns and looks around at the fans. Most are booing but you can see a few Chrenshaw signs being held up. BEN CHRENSHAW
Since I don't do this often. I'm going to need all of you to listen very carefully.The boos intensify as Ben challenges the fans intelligence. BEN CHRENSHAW
I came out here tonight to address two things. I know that's higher than most of you can count but that's this many.Chrenshaw holds up two fingers. The jeers become so loud Chrenshaw goes to speak again but can't be heard. He smirks.
BEN CHRENSHAW
First let me say something to the King of Lions. Good job running Cory Cruelty out of this place. You did what you said you would do and defeated the darkness.A Cutlass chant begins in the venue. BEN CHRENSHAW
That's right cheer for Julian. His time as champion is running out.The chant becomes even louder. BEN CHRENSHAW
That's a future venture for me however as next week... I'm facing Robb Daniels - the "Headliner".Chrenshaw uses air quotes to emphasize Daniels' nickname and the fans actually begin cheering for Robb Daniels.
BEN CHRENSHAW
Robb, you and I were the Essential but in every tag match we where in... you lost it for us.Ben shrugs as he continues. BEN CHRENSHAW
Then in Duluth... you lost to Corey Cruelty and turned tail and ran. The Crippler shakes his head and smirks. BEN CHRENSHAW
The mark of a coward. So Robbie, I'm going to do you a favor...AS I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH"Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio begins to play throughout the arena to a great pop. Robb Daniels shoves the curtain aside and storms out, getting face to face with Ben Chrenshaw. Much like the Crippler, the Headliner is dressed to the nines - a black pinstripe suit. ROBB DANIELS
What's that? What kinda favor are you going to do for me? BEN CHRENSHAW
I...Daniels pushes Ben's mic down. ROBB DANIELS
You and I... we were the Essential. We did a lot of things last summer that I'm not particularly proud of. Separately, we made history as the King of the Lions and the Iron Champion but together... we couldn't get the job done. Call it egos, call it whatever, you can even blame me if you wish... but that's the past, I'm looking straight ahead to the future - a future that involves getting inside the ring with you next week in Kingston. I look forward to HEADLINING as only as I can do, but most of all... I look forward to kicking your ass! The crowd pops as Daniels plays to them, Chrenshaw chuckles then speaks. BEN CHRENSHAW
You're barking up the wrong tree.
ROBB DANIELS
Ben... I really don't think I am. How does it feel to be Corey Cruelty's replacement? You're filling the void left behind by him. I only came back to Lion's Road to get my hands on him and what did he do? He couldn't handle the big time and got himself fired. That's OK though... he can catch our match during one of his breaks at Target. The fans cheer. ROBB DANIELS
Old allies are on opposite sides, Ben. I don't care that you're the most dangerous man in Lion's Road because when I'm looking across the ring... I won't see you, I'll see a scrawny, black haired sore loser... the one who was too scared to fight me again. It's unfortunate that it's come to this, Benjamin... but we'll settle the argument next week and see who the real weak link was. Daniels and Chrenshaw go face to face as we go to commercial.
DANIELS vs. CHRENSHAW - A FIRST TIME EVER MEETING
NEXT WEEK HERE ON MANE EVENT

JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen, this next bout is to be fought over three five minute rounds with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Beaumont, Texas! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty eight pounds! CARL WHITAKER~!Whitaker throws an arm up and is met with boos. JAKE AARONS
His opponent from Brooklyn, New York! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty pounds! MARK STORM~!Storm smirks and holds his arm up to cheers from the Belleville crowd. JAKE AARONS
Your referee for this bout is Robbie Morris!The One Man Stampede and Your Hero and Mine stand face to face, nose to nose, yapping their lips off at each other. Whitaker puts his finger in Storm's face but it just as quickly gets slapped away! Robbie Morris steps between the two men and calls for the bell to begin round one. A collar and elbow tie-up begins the bout, Carl Whitaker gains the upper hand with a standing side headlock and really wrenches in in. Mark Storm tries his best to wiggle free, but Whitaker shows off - doing a spinning standing switch into a go behind, grabbing Storm's left arm in a hammerlock. Unfortunately for him, Storm ducks underneath and comes out the other side with a hammerlock of his own! Whitaker calmly grabs the top rope and shakes his arm a couple of times as Morris backs Storm up across the ring. The two meet in the middle once more and Whitaker goes right back to the side headlock, but this time snaps Storm up and over - taking him down to the mat with the hold still applied. Storm pulls his legs up and wraps them around the Bull's head for the headscissors, forcing Whitaker to release his grip on Storm's head. Storm releases and both men get up to their feet simultaneously.
SAM HEWITT
We've got ourselves a standoff after a bit of tit for tat grappling work!Whitaker offers his hand up for a knuckle lock, Storm goes to engage but gets booted in the gut. Whitaker grabs a top wrist lock and forces Storm down to the mat into a bridge. Storm strains... and the fans begin cheering as he powers right back up... and reverses the top wrist lock into one of his own and sends Whitaker down! Unfortunately it's too close to the ropes and Whitaker is able to escape unscathed. Both men get back up and circle around before engaging in another collar and elbow tie-up, Storm begins backing Whitaker into the ropes but gets turned around at the last moment and finds himself pushed against them. Morris begins his five count and Whitaker lets go at three and holds his arms up, Storm watches him suspiciously... waiting for him to move... Whitaker turns toward referee Robbie Morris, mutters something and then takes a swing! Storm ducks it! SLAP! SLAP! LEG KICK! SPINNING BACK FIST! Whitaker staggers backwards... LARIAT~! The Impending Storm connects on Whitaker, who goes down and rolls out of the ring - falling on his ass out on the floor. SAM HEWITT
Whitaker will get the break he needs as the first round comes to a close after Mark Storm's explosive barrage of strikes sent the One Man Stampede to the mat after Whitaker tried to sucker punch him on the ropes. CHAD GOMEZ
Mark Storm's going to have to be on this toes, Sambo - he's got that tour of Japan coming up! Nothing like a good ol' Texas sized sendoff! That's all Whitaker was trying to give him!
SAM HEWITT
Yeah, alright.
JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen... round two.
Whitaker spends the thirty second rest period walking around the ringside area and only climbs in after the bell sounds to begin the second round. Unfortunately for him, he walks right into a side headlock from Storm! Storm wrenches it in tight and Whitaker pulls on the air drawing the fans' ire - Morris goes to check but Whitaker releases it before he can be detected. Whitaker manages to contort his body, so he's belly to belly with Storm and pushes him back into the corner turnbuckles to cause a break. Morris calls for a clean break, but the Bull drives a shoulder into Storm's midsection instead! He pulls out, grabs Storm and whips him across the ring. Storm stops himself, but leaps up onto the second rope when he sees Carl Whitaker coming... backflipping up and over his opponent. He holds him in an inverted facelock and looks to complete the springboard moonsault into an inverted DDT sequence... but Whitaker clocks him with a fist! Storm lets go and stumbles away, Whitaker pulls himself up to his feet and tries to grab Storm... PELE KICK! The crowd pops huge as Carl goes down! Storm tries to dash across the ring for the cover, but Whitaker wisely rolls out. Storm though ascends to the top and perches... Whitaker looks up and walks off, pointing to his head telling everyone of his superior intellect!
SAM HEWITT
I don't know if anyone told Whitaker... but there's a Storm Watch!Mark Storm hops off the top rope, charges across the apron and does a somersault dive onto him! He gets up, pulls Whitaker up with him and chucks him back inside. Whitaker stumbles to his feet, bounds off the ropes... Storm ducks his attack and clamps on a sleeper hold! Whitaker reaches back, trying to grab the back of Storm's head as he prepares to drop to the mat... a sit out jawbreaker in mind... but Storm gets thumbed in the eye! Morris misses it, trying to ensure Whitaker isn't pulling the hair! Storm's grip loosens and he elbowed in the gut as Whitaker turns around... ATOMIC DROP! Storm doubles over in pain, selling the move as Whitaker jaw jacks with some fans. The One Man Stampede turns around, Storm scoops him up onto shoulders but is blindly running on instincts - Whitaker slides out the back door, spins Storm around... BEAUMONT BUSTER! He covers! 1... ... 2... ... 3! Whitaker slides out of the ring and raises his arms, telling everyone that he's the One Man Stampede! He walks past the fans, telling a child wearing a Mark Storm shirt that he needs a new hero! Storm remains in the ring, holding his eye and telling Morris that it got poked. CHAD GOMEZ
Stop crying!SAM HEWITT
Hard to say if it was blatant or not given the circumstances, but referee Robbie Morris missed it for a damn good reason - he was making sure Whitaker wasn't tugging on the hair which he had done earlier in the bout. Anyway, fans - we've still got more great action to come here on Mane Event so don't go away!

Post by Office on May 31, 2017 12:46:04 GMT -5
CHAD GOMEZ:
Although not in attendance at tonight’s show, during the week we recorded an interview with the reigning King of Lions Champion, Julian Cutlass, fresh off his victory over Corey Cruelty. Have a look everyone.The scene transitions to show Chad sitting in a seat across from Julian Cutlass. The champion comes equipped in a BLACK LION’S ROAD long-sleeve tee, jeans, and the King of Lions title over his shoulder. The champ remains relaxed. CHAD GOMEZ:
Thanks for being with us, Julian.
JULIAN CUTLASS:
You’re welcome.
CHAD GOMEZ:
I’ve gotta say, that match last Thursday was something else. What was going through your mind at the end?
JULIAN CUTLASS:
“Stay away from that f***ing piledriver, Julian.”CHAD GOMEZ:
The Oblivion Piledriver?JULIAN CUTLASS [with a nod]:
That’s the one.
CHAD GOMEZ:
And you debuted a new move… a wrist-clutch choking exploder suplex.
JULIAN CUTLASS:
That’s right, didn’t I? The Requiem Exploder. Big-league move for a big-league match. I thought about kneeing him in the face, but Corey’s slippery.CHAD GOMEZ:
In defending the King of Lions title for a sixth time, you also become the 4th and final Iron champion. What do you plan on doing with the belt?Cutlass’ gaze narrows and for a moment his previously nonchalant, matter-of-factness turns to sternness. JULIAN CUTLASS:
The belt belongs on a shelf in my basement. The King of Lions has absorbed it to become the strongest title in pro-wrestling.CHAD GOMEZ:
The strongest title in all of pro-wrestling?JULIAN CUTLASS:
That’s what I said. I couldn’t give a rip about Skyfire or whatever the f*** it’s called. Robb Daniels’ Seattle f***-stick wrestling?He yawns. JULIAN CUTLASS:
Lion’s Road beats ‘em all. BLACK Lion’s Road is the strongest, man. Don’t think twice about it.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Matt Pulver and James Edwards are fighting in a title eliminator on 6/15 to determine the challenger for your V7 defense.
JULIAN CUTLASS [smiling]:
Love it.CHAD GOMEZ:
Which one do you prefer to face?He shrugs.
JULIAN CUTLASS:
The best one.CHAD GOMEZ:
And who is that?JULIAN CUTLASS:
The one that wins.CHAD GOMEZ:
Who do you think will win?JULIAN CUTLASS [agitated]:
How the f*** am I supposed to know? They’re halfway around the f***ing world, Chad. I know that Jimmy’s having a blast teaming with James Edwards. Sends Alex and me text messages about something called the Violent Gospel, like Edwards has turned him into a f***ing Mormon or something.CHAD GOMEZ:
The Violent Gospel is the name of James Edwards’ finishing move.
JULIAN CUTLASS:
Is it? Well, Jimmy’s having fun with it from what I hear. So all is well, I guess.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Thanks for taking the time, champ.JULIAN CUTLASS:
Sure thing.

Post by Office on May 31, 2017 12:46:09 GMT -5
Becky Chande urges the cameraman to be quiet as they approach a dressing room - yelling and screaming is heard, all in Spanish. EL TEMERARIO
No hay manera en el infierno que voy a usar esto! ¡Yo soy El Temerario! ¡Mi padre llevaba la ropa de El Temerario, y yo también!
(There's no way in hell I'm going to wear this! I am El Temerario! My father wore the clothing of El Temerario, and so will I!)MANUEL VILLALOBOS
¡Hijo de puta ingrato! Usted ha luchado conmigo en esto toda la semana! ¡La lucha ha terminado! Pon el maldito traje, o tú y tu madre estarán viviendo en las calles de la Ciudad de México, comiendo fuera de los botes de basura! Ahora pon la máscara de mierda en ... AHORA!
(You ungrateful son of a bitch! You have fought me on this all week! The fight is over! Put the goddamn costume on, or you and your mother will be living on the streets of Mexico City, eating out of trash cans! Now put the fucking mask on...NOW!)
Villalobos storms out of the dressing room, slamming the door behind him. He nearly runs into Chande standing there and upon realizing who it is, he does a complete one eighty and flashes a huge smile. MANUEL VILLALOBOS
Ahhh, Señorita Chande! You are indeed most fortunate, because you will be the first to witness the rebirth, no the evolution of El Temerario.Chande looks at him coldly. BECKY CHANDE
I heard what you told El Temerario in the dressing room, the threats you made against him and his mother.Villalobos laughs and waves his hands.
MANUEL VILLALOBOS
You journalists, always taking things out of context.
No matter.
Señorita Chande, no more will Lion's Road be forced to watch the old, boring El Temerario. Tonight, you will gaze in wide eyed wonder at… El Mariachi Magica!Villalobos flourishes with his hands, but the dressing room door doesn't open. The manager opens the door just enough to stick his head in and says something in Spanish that Chande’s mic doesn't completely pick up. Villalobos closes the door, and turns to Chande with a smile, a smile she doesn't return. MANUEL VILLALOBOS
He just needs a little better introduction. Let's try this again.
Lion's Road, no more will you be forced to watch the old, boring, El Temerario. Oh no, for tonight, I, Manuel Villalobos, el mánager mas grande del mundo, present to you…. EL MARIACHI MAGICA!The door opens slowly and El Temerario steps out, but he doesn't look the same. Instead of the bright colors he normally wears, he is dressed in black, with a black mariachi jacket covered in sequins. He also wears a black, sequined sombrero, and carries a guitar and a rose. His eyes show the defeat he is feeling. Villalobos walks away towards the curtain, but Mariachi stays behind. The masked man looks at Chande, smiles a weak smile, and hands her the rose. EL TEMERARIO/EL MARIACHI MAGICA
A beautiful flower for a beautiful flower. Chande blushes and takes the rose. She looks as if she wants to say something back, but before she can, Villalobos comes stomping into screen.
MANUEL VILLALOBOS
¡Vamonos!Mariachi slowly walks away from Chande, Villalobos walking behind him, barking orders. Chande stands there, a mix of anger towards Villalobos and pity for Mariachi. Villalobos steps back into screen. MANUEL VILLALOBOS
Sorry, Señorita Chande. We're going to need this back.Villalobos snatches the rose from Becky’s hand and walks away.
LION'S ROAD ON TOUR
6/8 - KINGSTON, ONTARIO
6/15 - ROCHESTER, NEW YORK
JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen, this next bout is to be fought over three five minute rounds with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Milwaukee, Wisconsin! He weighs in at two hundred and five pounds! JOSH LEGARO~!Legaro steps out of the corner and raises his hands as if he's a champion, which elicits boos from the fans.
JAKE AARONS
His opponent from Mexico City, Mexico! He weighs in at two hundred and one pound! EL TE-err... EL MARIACHI MAGICA~!‘Cancion del Mariachi’ by Antonio Banderas with Los Lobos plays as the wrestler formerly known as El Temerario steps through the curtain, guitar in hand. The crowd is unsure of what to think of the costume and name change, but most cheer the man anyway. Villalobos tells Mariachi to play along with the music. Mariachi tells him that he doesn't know how to play guitar, but Villalobos yells at him to play the damn guitar. Mariachi walks down the steps to the ring, trying to play the guitar. SAM HEWITT
How humiliating...CHAD GOMEZ
...you think he'd bring us some chips and salsa?Mariachi hands the rose to an attractive blonde at ringside then enters the ring by slinging himself over the top rope. As soon as his feet touch the mat Legaro is all over him. Josh whips Mariachi into the ropes and hits him with a stiff clothesline, knocking the sombrero off his head. Mariachi is down and Legaro grabs the sombrero and lays it down in the center of the ring. He then begins to mockingly dance around the hat. CHAD GOMEZ
Hey! Legaro can dance!
SAM HEWITT
I can't imagine Legaro would like it if Temerario mocked his heritage.
CHAD GOMEZ
He's probably immune to it at this point. He's from Wisconsin. When Legaro turns around, he’s met by a seething Mariachi, who headscissors him face and throat first across the middle rope. Mariachi hits the opposite ropes, and as he rebounds, runs up the turnbuckles and hits a somersault legdrop across the back of Legaro head. Josh bounces off the rope and is motionless in the ring. Mariachi climbs to the top rope and hits a double rotation moonsault on Legaro. The crowd reacts wildly to the move and Mariachi hooks the leg as the referee counts the fall. Mariachi’s arm is raised in victory, but he's not in the mood to celebrate. He hops out of the ring, brushes past a smiling Villalobos as he walks to the back. SAM HEWITT
For winning the match in such a spectacular fashion... he doesn't seem happy.CHAD GOMEZ
Well, I ordered my salsa ten minutes ago. If he wants a tip, he's gotta rush. SAM HEWITT
Fans... we'll be right back.

EARLIER TODAY...Becky Chande stands backstage next to a door with a sign that reads, "MEETING IN PROGRESS". BECKY CHANDE
Ladies and gentlemen, I've been told by my sources that currently behind this door Lion's Road officials are meeting with Buck U Productions CEO, Charlotte Buchanan. If you recall, a few weeks ago Mrs. Buchanan reached out to Lion's Road to set up this meaning but even our own Mandeville Nelson was unaware what her reasons for the meeting were.The doors to the room open and several executives file out, last of which is Mandeville Nelson himself along with Charlotte Buchanan. MANDEVILLE NELSON
I cannot believe I'm saying this, but that was a very productive meeting, Charlotte.CHARLOTTE BUCHANAN
It truly was, Mandeville. I look forward to speaking with you again.The pair shake hands and Mandeville departs, giving Becky a quick nod as he goes. Becky doesn't miss a beat and approaches Charlotte. BECKY CHANDE
Excuse me, Mrs. Buchanan...Charlotte holds up her hand.
CHARLOTTE BUCHANAN
Please Becky, call me Charlotte.BECKY CHANDE
Ok, Charlotte, I was hoping to get a few comments from you. For starters, what brought you here to Belleville?
CHARLOTTE BUCHANAN
Well Becky, since I know how good of a journalist you are, I'm sure you're aware that I requested this meeting with Lion's Road. Now, I'm not prepared at this time to go into all the details of what we were discussing as of this time. Today was about opening lines of communications between Lion's Road Pro-Wrestling and Buck U Productions, which I truly hope will bloom into a mutually beneficial relationship.Becky seems to be taken aback by this statement.
BECKY CHANDE
Considering the amount of chaos that your husband, Eli, has caused here, I find that hard to believe.Charlotte sighs and furrowing her brow, she frowns at the camera. CHARLOTTE BUCHANAN
As much as I love my husband, Eli does not speak for our company in entirety. You may not be aware, but Buck U Productions is much more than just than our ventures into professional wrestling. We are also in the business of advertisement, as I'm sure Ben Chrenshaw could tell you. The line of fine men's wear that he did a commercial with on Mane Event a few months ago had brought in a fair amount of revenue for them and in return Mr. Chrenshaw has been receiving some nice royalty cheques from in them as that commercial has recently begun airing nation wide in both Canada and the United States. Before I go any further, I'd be be remiss if I didn't congratulate Mr. Chrenshaw on recently becoming one half of the Great Lakes Tag Team Champions. He may no longer be associated with Buck U Productions, but we are still proud of the success he continues to find here in Lion's Road.BECKY CHANDE
Speaking of Chrenshaw, his former tag team partner in The Red Army, A.J. Knight, continues to be in your employment and recently he received a written letter from Buck U Productions with a cease and desist order, preventing him from further competing here in Lion's Road. Care to comment?Charlotte frowned once more. CHARLOTTE BUCHANAN
Absolutely. It's no secret that Mr. Knight came into our employment after he was fired by Lion's Road for allegedly injuring a referee and can only compete here with the permission of an executive from Buck U Productions. I can inform you that upon learning about this, Mr. Knight got into contact with myself and the two of us went over his contract with a fine tooth comb. Unfortunately, as the two of us learned, my hands are tied. Eli had our lawyers write up an air tight contract and he and he alone can release Mr. Knight from it, much to both our frustration. I have spoken to Eli about releasing him but he's adamant that he won't do so.BECKY CHANDE
So you're saying there's nothing you can do then?
CHARLOTTE BUCHANAN
Of course there's something I can do. In his contract it states that he is to be given the opportunity to appear in commercials for the companies we work with. Eli has failed to provide him with any of those opportunities, so I took it upon myself to send him scripts for several commercials we're working on, as well as one for a television sitcom we're hoping to shop around. I know this isn't exactly what Mr. Knight wants to do, however, I'm hoping we can make his time with Buck U Productions as positive as it can be until his contract expires or Eli stops being stubborn and releases him.A man in a suit comes up and whispers something in Charlotte's ear. CHARLOTTE BUCHANAN
I'm really sorry, Becky, I have a flight to catch and really must be going. This has been great, I really hope we can do this again.Charlotte shakes hands with Becky and leaves with the man as Becky turns back to the camera. BECKY CHANDE
Take from that what you well, ladies and gentlemen. Man, was she ever more pleasant than he is. All I've got to say is that I don't see what Charlotte sees in her husband.
ELI BUCHANAN RETURNS TO MANE EVENT
NEXT WEEK

JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen, this next bout is to be fought over three five minute rounds with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Ottawa, Ontario! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty one pounds! MATT STONE!Stone bounces off the ropes as the fans boo. JAKE AARONS
And making his way to the ring from New York City, New York! He weighs in at two hundred and fifteen pounds! LEX COLLINS~!Collins is walking down the staging stairs, but raises his arm in response to the crowd. JAKE AARONS
Your referee for this bout is Xavier Price! Lex Collins steps on the apron and faces the crowd, pressing his fist over his heart as the crowd pops. He turns and springs over the ropes, Stone immediately attacks him with several clubbing blows to the back before ramming him into the turnbuckle. Xavier Price calls for the bell and the first round begins. Stone takes Collins' head and drags it across the top rope before Price intervenes and orders Stone away or he's getting a yellow card. Collins hangs onto the ropes recovering, but the Showman goes back and drills his lower back with a forearm. Collins falls to a knee in pain, Stone tells the crowd "this guy is nothing!" and pulls him back, leans him against the ropes... goes to Irish whip him, but pops him with a forearm first! With Collins properly stunned, Stone sends him across the ring and European uppercuts him on the return! Collins goes down and Stone chuckles as "Fearless" rolls onto his back holding his jaw. Stone holds up his fist for the crowd to admire... then kisses it! He points it downwards... NOBODY HOME!
SAM HEWITT
He may have kissed Lex Collins' head with that fist if he didn't spend so much time admiring it.CHAD GOMEZ
He's the Showman, Sambo! He's not just your generic, dime a dozen black boots and black trunks guy. He gets the crowd involved, love him or hate him.
Stone gets back to his feet holding his fist, Collins European uppercuts Stone back into the corner. Collins lines up for a palm strike, but Stone gets his knee up into his midsection and prevents the strike from happening. He grabs Collins and whips him into the ropes, Collins springs off and baseball slides underneath Stone. Stone turns around, finds himself trapped in a side headlock... but not for long... HEADLOCK DRIVER~! Stone's showman moniker apparently extends to his selling as he does a headstand, up and over upon hitting the mat and rolls out of the ring. He recuperates on the floor as Price begins counting him out, Lex Collins waits impatiently inside the ring... Stone gets up and rolls in the ring, but rolls right back out when he sees Collins advancing on his position. Price tells Collins to stay back, then admonishes Stone for the stalling tactic. Collins decides to take matters into his own hands as he rushes toward the ropes and begins to climb through, Stone takes off from that side and goes around... Collins charges across the ring and greets him with a suicide dive! Collins follows it up with several punches and then tries to pull Matt Stone back up to a vertical base and return him to the ring - he does so successfully but the buzzer sounds to end the first round before he can climb back in himself. JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen... round two.The second round begins with a lock-up, Stone is still groggy from the suicide dive/headlock driver combination but is able to shove Collins off when he gets a side headlock applied on him. Collins leaps onto the second rope and springboards back with an elbow smash! Stone goes down and rolls out of the ring... but Collins is right behind him! Collins grabs him and throws him back inside! Stone tries to sneak away, but Collins grabs him and throws him into the ropes... on the return, Stone goes splat to the mat with a drop toe hold! The impact brings Stone back up to his knees... DROPKICK BY COLLINS! He covers! 1... ... 2-KICK OUT! SAM HEWITT
Excellent dropkick by Collins while Stone was on his knees - sending him backwards with the lower half of his legs still tucked underneath his body! Good for a two count!
CHAD GOMEZ
It was good thinking of Collins' part. Normally on a dropkick you'll get hit and have five or six feet down to the mat, but Matt Stone was already on his knees - that impact with the mat is coming a lot sooner than you expect it and can throw you right off.
Collins pulls Stone up off the mat and peppers him with some jabs then uppercuts the Showman - knocking him back against the ropes. Stone stumbles forward, Collins scoops him up and slams him down! He grabs Stone's foot and tries to turn him over for an STF... but the Showman turns back before Collins can get down to the mat and hoofs him in the face! Collins goes backwards and careens into the top turnbuckle! Stone crawls over and slips his hand between Collins' legs... school boy cradle! 1... STONE PUTS HIS FEET UP ON THE ROPES ... 2... ... PRICE SEES IT! Price waves the count off and produces a yellow card.
JAKE AARONS
Referee Xavier Price has issued a yellow card to Matt Stone for illegal leverage! His first public warning!Stone tells Price he's supposed to be watching Collins' shoulders not him! Price can only shake his head as Stone turns back toward Collins and drops down, clamping on a grounded side headlock. Stone tells the fans to shut up as they begin getting behind Collins, who starts fighting up to his hands and knees... Stone lets go and drops a quick elbow across the back of Collins to flatten him out again and returns to the side headlock. Collins rolls onto his side, pinning Stone's shoulders to the mat with a cradle! 1... ... 2-Stone kicks his legs and rolls back to their original position with the headlock still applied. Collins starts fighting back up onto his hands and knees... "Fearless" quickly gets to one knee and enables himself to use an arm to attack... and he does, elbowing Stone in the sternum to break free! Collins tries to get up, but Stone rams him head first into the top turnbuckle! Stone charges in... but the bell sounds to end the second round! Stone stops... and pokes Collins in the eyes! Price drags him across the length of the ring and awards him a yellow card for his tactics. JAKE AARONS
Referee Xavier Price has issued a yellow card to Matt Stone for attacking the eyes! His second public warning!
SAM HEWITT
An effective tactic, I suppose... although if Lex Collins can't continue after Dr. Pierson checks him over then Stone gets disqualified outright. So, how effective is it really?
CHAD GOMEZ
You and I both know Lex Collins is too stupid to quit. He could have Stevie Wonder's eyesight after that eye poke and he'd still try and compete.
Stone doesn't try to protest this one, opting instead to laugh about it. Collins is attended to by Dr. Pierson, checking out the eye but the Greek fighter insists he can see and wants to continue. Pierson nods and exits the ring. JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen... round three! Stone mocks Collins by walking around holding his eye... Collins charges out and clocks him with a right hook! Stone is rocked! Collins is about to grab him when Stone falls to his knee and rolls out to the floor. Price grabs Collins and backs him up... Stone is grabbed from behind and thrown back inside! Collins grabs him... BULLDOG! SYSTEMATIC BREAKDOWN! He rolls Stone onto his back and hooks the leg! 1... ... 2.. ... 3! The crowd pops but perhaps the biggest one comes from El Mariachi Magica... or El Temerario, standing on the staging stairs applauding Lex Collins' victory. Collins gets his arm raised by Price and exits the ring, walks past Temerario on his way up to the back but doesn't pay him any mind. Stone rolls onto his stomach and looks up... Temerario flashes him a thumbs up and Stone slaps the mat in frustration as we go to break.
WE'LL HAVE A SPECIAL VIDEO MESSAGE FROM JASON JACKSON
WHEN MANE EVENT RETURNS AFTER THESE MESSAGES

Post by Office on May 31, 2017 12:46:25 GMT -5
The screen seems to static out before a “sin city syndicate” logo is branded in the middle, engulfed in flames. Jason Jackson’s voice echoes out through the arena as the logo remains, the lights going dim, letting the realistic looking flames paint the scene an ominous color of orange and red. JASON JACKSON
Last week, an open challenge was issued to this locker room. A challenge that will surely be detrimental to the physical well-being of any poor soul “brave” enough to answer the call.The logo on the large screen fades, shifting to a shot of the massive Samoan fighter shrouded in the same fiery hue. The flames dance wildly, illuminating the already intimidating frame of the Dragon Champion, and glinting off the gold of the title perched on his shoulder. JASON JACKSON
Let me say this one more time for the people in the back… I am NOT here to shake hands and make friends. I am NOT here to put this company on my back and be your saving grace. I am here to dish out relentless punishment to anyone “brave” enough to test themselves. I am here to set a STANDARD. Not for this company, but for you as MEN. You think you are tough? I've knocked out tougher… you think your mat skills are legendary? I roll with legends daily at my gym. You're nothing new… nothing special… but if you have the intestinal fortitude to prove otherwise? You go ahead and march out to that ring… answer the challenge.
A wicked grin spreads across the man's lips, and he shakes his head; clearly amused.
JASON JACKSON
I just hope for the sake of your loved ones that you have your affairs in order, and a will written… because I'm going to dismantle you… rip you limb from limb… and leave you in a shallow grave. You are going to serve as an example of the NIGHTMARE that is to come.The arena lights go completely dark and the loud roar of a motorcycle echoes out through the speakers before everything goes calm.
GRACE KAZOULIS vs. RICHARD DRAKE - THE REMATCH
YOUR MAIN EVENT IS COMING UP NEXT!

Post by Office on May 31, 2017 12:46:30 GMT -5
RICHARD DRAKE:
Ever since last week, everyone has had to listen to Grace cry, whine and moan about the fact that she couldn't beat me. So what does she do? She threatens a poor innocent man who did absolutely nothing wrong simply because she is what we call a BAD SPORT!
Sitting in the backstage area, surrounded by what looks to be cops, Richard has this arrogant smirk expressed on his face, especially since he knows there's no way she can put her hands on him before bell time.
RICHARD DRAKE:
You see Grace, it's people like you who ruin the business. Because you have absolutely no respect for it, instead of taking the high road and showing that you are a true blue, fierce competitor, you have to threaten somebody half your size as a “message” to me but all you did was show your true colors, that's it!
To anyone out there who respects what this She-Hulk did, you are a disgusting individual and you shouldn't be allowed at OUR shows. However, I know that you will be allowed at our shows because people like myself and Carl, we’re the epitome of what this industry is about, not people like Grace who try to hurt others.
And on top of that, all she could talk about the entire time was if my junk would work, now doesn't that sound like a woman who wants all of this?
Motioning at his entire body, from his chest down to his crotch, he smirks knowing just how pissed Grace will be.
RICHARD DRAKE:
But like I said earlier? All it takes is half the man I am to beat her. Now that's not saying she's not any good, because she is, she's fierce, she's a lot of things when it comes to this business, many of them positive but the one thing she is not is better than me and I’ll float like a butterfly and sting when I pee all the way past her on my road to victory.
You understand that Grace? In mere moments, we are going to do battle but the outcome is not going to favor you, it's going to favor me, Richard Drake and the only thing you can do about it is accept it because I'm giving you no other options.
See you out there sugarplum!
Having finished with everything he wanted to say, he places his right hand up to his mouth and blows her a kiss, simply adding fuel to the fire before exiting the scene.
The camera shifts from the ring to Mandeville Nelson on the stage, awkwardly. Nelson thanks a stage hand and begins opening an envelope.
MANDEVILLE NELSON
Fans, I apologize for this sudden interruption... but I have just been passed along an envelope that I was told to be read on air...
Nelson ditches the envelope and pulls out the letter which looks very professional to say the least.
MANDEVILLE NELSON (reading)
"I would like to apologize for my absence on tonight's broadcast but Belleville just isn't substantial enough for a debut of my stature. I am a World Champion... coming soon, but only if your city is big enough. I'm no small town schmuck."
Nelson sits it down.
MANDEVILLE NELSON
A World Champion... a very pompous one at that. In any event, let's hand things over to Jake Aarons...
Back to the ring.
JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen, your main event of the evening is to be fought over three five minute rounds or television time remaining with one fall, one submission or a knockout to decide the winner! Introducing first from Mount Olympus! She weighs in at one hundred and seventy five pounds... GRACE KAZOULIS~!
"Can't Be Touched" by Roy Jones, Jr. hits and the Belleville crowd gets on their feet as Sheracles walks out across the stage bobbing her head. She reaches the stairs and removes her sunglasses, stuffing them in her jacket pocket before climbing down the stairs. She gets to the bottom and removes the jacket, handing it off to a stage hand before she rushes up the stairs and walks across the apron. She turns and poses for the crowd before climbing inside.
JAKE AARONS
Her opponent from Holland! He weighs in at one hundred and ninety five pounds... RICHARD DRAKE~!
IF YOU'RE HAVING GIRL PROBLEMS
I FEEL BAD FOR YA, SON.
I GOT NINETY NINE PROBLEMS
AND A BITCH AIN'T ONE!
Richard Drake trots out, swagging out to his music and lays eyes on the angry Grace Kazoulis and responds with a smirk. He forgoes the stairs, opting to hop off the stage and then climbs up on the apron.
JAKE AARONS
Your referee for this bout is Buster Powell!
The bell sounds at referee Buster Powell's request. Both fighters circle around and are about to lock up when Richard Drake stops suddenly and backs up, Kazoulis tries to pounce on him but he quickly exits the ring and takes a lap while ordering Powell to "keep that beastly woman back". Powell tells him he'll try and calmly asks Kazoulis to back up and let Drake back into the ring. She obliges without issue and Drake rolls in, up to his feet and locks up. With little issue at all, Kazoulis power shoves Drake backwards out of the collar and elbow tie-up. Drake yells at a fan who laughs at him and gets up, the two circle around again and this time, Drake ducks the lock-up and does a go behind. He grabs Grace in a rear waist hold and rubs her torso as he whispers in her ears. She grabs each of his wrists and straightens them out in a demonstration of a power... then attacks with her hips! Drake doubles over and falls to the mat in a seated position.
SAM HEWITT
Richard Drake trying to use some... unorthodox tactics on Grace Kazoulis, but I don't think he's going to be able to gain the advantage in close range. Kazoulis a powerful woman up and down. She separated Drake's arms on the rear waist hold like it was nothing.
CHAD GOMEZ
Say what you will about sex as a means of exercise, Sambo, I think it's effective... but maybe not in the realm of professional wrestling. Endurance, sure but unless you'r--you know what, never mind.
Drake pulls himself back to his feet in the corner and takes a moment before returning to the centre of the ring. Kazoulis goes for another lock-up, but Drake hoofs her in the stomach and grabs a hold of an arm. He contorts his body around, applying an arm wringer and then drives his shoulder into it. Drake looks at the Sheracles, who looks more annoyed than anything by these moves. Drake tries to pull away, but Kazoulis grabs him with her free hand and yanks him in! She drives her shoulder into his arm! He falls to a knee, she pulls him right back up and sends him into the ropes... PALM STRIKE! Drake goes down and rolls out of the ring, falling to the ground holding his face. The bell sounds to end the first round and Drake climbs the stairs near his corner and gets attended to by Jeremy Squire while Pierre Roy hands Kazoulis a towel and allows her to rub herself down. Powell tells the fighters the thirty seconds are up...
JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen... round two.
The two fighters circle around, Kazoulis goes for a lock-up but catches Drake's boot in her midsection which doubles he over. He latches onto a side headlock but she shoots him off into the ropes. He comes back and gets a knee up as Kazoulis tries to charge him, sending her up and over and back down to the mat. Drake keeps running, Kazoulis rolls onto her stomach and he hops over and springs off the opposite ropes. Kazoulis pops up suddenly and Drake tries to leap frog over her but she catches him! She hoists him up... GORILLA PRESS! She holds him up and turns for all three sides of the venue to enjoy as he tries to talk her into putting him down... and she does... PRESS SLAM TO THE MAT! Drake arches his back in pain and staggers back up to his feet... only to be scoop slammed again!
CHAD GOMEZ
See, if I were Richard Drake - this is where I'd take my breather. Kazoulis has slammed him twice after catching him off guard, bringing a sudden halt to his momentum. I'd roll out, let Kazoulis' adrenaline come back down a bit and recuperate myself.
SAM HEWITT
If he's even able to get his wits about him after those two slams.
CHAD GOMEZ
Well, yeah. Poor guy could be on dream street right now.
It appear he isn't though as Kazoulis leans down to pick him up and gets poked in the eye! She staggers away, Powell senses something is amiss and admonishes Drake who tells him he didn't see a thing so shut up! Drake turns Kazoulis back around and dropkicks her to the mat! He gets back up and begins putting the boots to her as she tries to roll toward the corner out of harm's way. Drake picks her up and puts her against the corner turnbuckle and stomps her chest! Powell counts to four but Drake lets before he can get to five. He goes back, pulls Kazoulis up by the hair... and clocks her with a forearm that sends her down to her knees! Powell steps between them and produces a yellow card, Drake gets in Powell's face and argues the call saying his hand slipped - she must be using baby oil! He was only trying to hold on so he didn't fall. Powell quickly tells Aarons the call which allows Drake to cheap shot Grace with a kick to the stomach while action is momentarily halted.
JAKE AARONS
Referee Buster Powell has issued a yellow card to Richard Drake for pulling the hair! His first public warning!
Drake whatever's it and grabs Kazoulis in a front chancery, pulling her up while trying to emphasize how oily she apparently is. Drake spends a bit too much time running his mouth because as he lets go and pushes her up... he goes for a kick, but it gets caught! She tries to throw it away but Drake spins around... DRAGON WHIP KICK! Kazoulis goes down to the mat and Drake insists she's gone night night and makes the cover!
1...
...
2...
NO!
Drake doesn't even bother arguing although he shoots Powell a dirty look before clamping on the rear chin lock and forces Kazoulis to the mat. As Powell is checking on her, Drake slowly wiggles closer to the ropes and puts his feet up on the second rope. The fans are livid and are shouting at Powell, who looks up and sees Drake's smiling face but no feet on the ropes. The fans come alive with chants of GRACE! GRACE! GRACE! as she begins showing signs of life and fights back up to her feet. She elbows him once, twice... three times and Drake finally breaks his grip, Kazoulis grabs him... swings him forward under her arm... BACKBREAKER! Drake writhes in pain as he rolls off her knee to the mat while Kazoulis stands up... and calls for the bear hug! The fans pop loudly but deflate just as quickly when the bell sounds to end the second round. Drake chortles on the mat through weezes and Kazoulis shakes her head and walks back to her corner.
JAKE AARONS
Ladies and gentlemen... round three.
Kazoulis storms out of the corner as determined as can be... Drake tries to punch her to knock her off guard, but she blocks it and feeds him one after another! She knocks him back against the ropes and then grabs his wrist and arm and Irish whips him across the ring. Upon the return, Drake is palm struck with ferocity! The momentum sends him down to the mat on all fours... he rests for a moment, considering his options but the cameraman does a fine job of positioning himself directly in front of Drake as Grace Kazoulis towers behind him! His eyes widen and he dashes for the ropes, but she grabs him in a rear waist hold and takes him to the German district of Suplex City! She kicks him, rolling him onto his stomach and then sits on his back, yanks his head back and applies the Dragon Clutch - the Law of the Jungle! Drake taps out! Kazoulis keeps it applied though... Powell breaks her grip and Kazoulis is simmering mad as she looks down at her beaten opponent.
SAM HEWITT
Richard Drake best send Buster Powell a card come Christmas time... because he just saved him from injury.
CHAD GOMEZ
Should be a disqualification! Overturn the decision! She refused to let go even after Powell ordered her to. What kind of precadent are the referees trying to set? No wonder Rob Draven's upset!
Kazoulis is backed up into the ropes by Powell, who asks her nicely to exit the ring. She does so without issue and several security guards rush to her to ensure she doesn't try making a break back to the ring. Stage hands check on Drake who's struggling to get back to his feet as the show closes out.
