7/14/2016 - Between Two Worlds

JAKE AARONS: This next contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit and is for the Heritage Championship of the World! Introducing first the challenger from Toronto, Ontario! She weighs in at one hundred and twenty nine pounds! LA CUCARACHA!

An octet of showgirls in cockroach regalia form a line in front of the lion's head. Their antenna headbands ignite in unison, spilling sparks onto the stage as purple smoke begins to erupt from the lion's nostrils. The opening riff of "Cuka Rocka" echoes through the arena, as the mouth of the lion roars open. The line of showgirls split into a quartet on each side and begin a rotation of high kicks, as a trio of figures emerge from the mouth.

A pair of bow-tied male strippers appear, donning La Cucaracha t-shirts over their muscular, often oiled frames. The two appear to be bench-pressing the Canadian luchadora over their heads, as she does her best to strike a photogenic pose. They deposit her on the stage, before flinging their shirts to the Las Vegas crowd. One offers up a box fan, to blow back La Cucaracha's cape and hair, while the other provides her with a new-and-improved t-shirt six-shooter. She takes a step to the edge of the stage, firing three shirts to one side of the arena, then three to the other, before tossing the gun back over her shoulder. As the crowd roars its approval at free merchandise, explosions echo from the top of the Pollo Hall, as $100 bills begin to rain down on the audience. They roar their approval, but upon seeing each bill bears the face of La Cucaracha in place of Benjamin Franklin, their cheers give way to groans.

A jockey offers La Cucaracha the reins to an ostrich bearing a makeshift Pollo Bucket jersey, but before she can mount up, the massive bird pecks the eyes of his captor and wins his freedom. As he rampages across the stage, the showgirls and male strippers scatter in every direction. Undaunted, La Cucaracha opts for a purple moped also stashed by the stage, and drives it to ringside. Upon arriving, she hoists the sensible motorcycle alternative up onto one shoulder, and manages to shove it over the guard rail and into the lap of a lucky fan, who is nearly crushed in his seat.

As chaos reigns in the entryway and Lion's Road officials attempt to wrangle the ostrich, La Cucaracha dashes up the ring steps and through the ropes. She mounts the second turnbuckle in one corner, only a moment before each ring post begins spewing orange sparks. In an effort to avoid inhaling too much smoke, La Cucaracha rebounds back and rolls to the middle of the ring. With a clap of her hands, more explosions erupt from the ceiling, this time showering the Pollo Hall inhabitants in chicken legs and chicken wings. Few cheer, but La Cucaracha raises her arms victoriously, as if she were none the wiser.

BASTIAN KRULL: ...

MANDEVILLE NELSON: ...

JAKE AARONS: Uh... and now um... THE CHAMPION! From London, England! He weighs in at two hundred and thirteen pounds! He is the current, reigning and defending Heritage Champion of the World! BEN CHRENSHAW!

The Smith's "Panic" hits and Ben Chrenshaw walks out with the title around his waist, he surveys the scene of male strippers, showgirls, and several people chasing an ostrich and shakes his head.  He walks down the runway undeterred, smiling evilly at La Cucaracha who is pacing back and forth inside the ring. 

JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this contest is Brian Shelzi!

Shelzi checks over Cucaracha, asking her to turn around so he can ensure she has no foreign objects on her.  Ben Chrenshaw charges in, shoving Shelzi aside and jumps La Cucaracha from behind, grabbing her up and slamming her down across his knee with a backbreaker.

BASTIAN KRULL: Look at her writhe in pain! Ben Chrenshaw is a calculated man inside this ring and you can bet that he aimed his knee right at the giant bruise on her back! Which of course La Cucaracha got when she nailed the exposed steel of the turnbuckle while attempting her corner cannonball last week on Mane Event.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: It also led to referee Cordell Garner calling a stop to the match. Chrenshaw drove his knee into the bruise while he had the single leg crab applied causing her to scream in all kinds of agony, and Garner stopped the match as the rules state that a scream constitutes a verbal submission.

BASTIAN KRULL: That was a hot button issue all week on social media, which led to Lion's Road officials making this return match for the title here tonight.

Chrenshaw pulls Cucaracha up off the mat and whips her into the ropes, she comes back and he tries to throw her straight up into the air but she comes back down with a huge forearm! The Heritage Champion loses his balance from the shot, but gets right back up and eats a high angle dropkick! He tumbles to the mat again and La Cucaracha is fired up! She makes a weird hand gesture or gang signs... no one can truly be sure with her... before grabbing the champion and backing him into the ropes. She tries to send him across the ring, but he reverses and sends her. She ducks and rolls underneath his clothesline attempt, springs to her feet and then off the middle rope. She contorts in midair and RACHA RANA! Chrenshaw is held for the cover!

KICKOUT!

The fans didn't buy into the near fall, and Cucaracha doesn't bother fussin' about the count either for once. She gets up and stretches her back before going back over to Chrenshaw, who reaches up and gouges her eyes. Referee Brian Shelzi doesn't say so much as a word to him for it. She blindly staggers away and he tries to charge, but Cucaracha gives him a drop toe hold and Chrenshaw lands across the second rope! She's about to follow up, but Chrenshaw drops to the mat and rolls out of the ring. Shelzi pushes Cucaracha back, telling her to keep her distance while he initates the count to return to the ring. Predicatably, it's the wordl's slowest count. Chrenshaw takes his time returning to the ring, and Cucaracha grows impatient - she runs, leap frogs over Shelzi and onto the top rope and somersaults onto an unsuspecting Chrenshaw!

BASTIAN KRULL: Giant bruise or no giant bruise, that's the way she's got to operate if she wants to beat Ben Chrenshaw!

Cucaracha peels him off the floor and rolls him into the ring, she climbs onto the apron and ascends the turnbuckles... she steadies herself as the Heritage Champion gets to his feet and leaps off looking for what looks like the sling blade, but Chrenshaw ducks and Cucaracha crashes to the mat! The champ scrambles to his feet and stomps her back a couple of times before yanking her to her feet and slamming her into the top turnbuckle.  He shoves her into the corner and Irish whips her out.  She kicks off the middle turnbuckle and rushes back at Chrenshaw, who leap frogs her.  She turns around and catches him as he's landing with a jawbreaker! This only serves to stagger him so she delivers a kick to the gut and then drops him with a swinging neckbreaker! She hops onto the second rope and quickly drops an elbow! She covers!

...

2-KICKOUT!

La Cucaracha argues about Shelzi's count this time, but Shelzi tells her what we all know - it was two.  Chrenshaw retreats to the corner and Cucaracha pushes Shelzi aside to go after him, charging full steam into the corner... NOBODY HOME! Cucaracha wobbles backwards out of the corner and the Heritage Champion waylays her with a spinning elbow strike! She falls to the mat and Chrenshaw rushes up to the top rope, leaping off with a devastating leg drop! He hops on top!

1...

...

2...

KICKOUT!

Chrenshaw eyes Shelzi, who shrugs in response.  He grabs Cucaracha up by the hair and again, Shelzi does nothing.  He locks her in a front facelock and raises her high into the air... holds her there for ten seconds... twenty seconds... thirty seconds... forty seconds... fifty seconds... one full minute before dropping her to the mat with a vertical suplex! He floats over for the lateral press!

1...

...

2-KICKOUT!

Cucaracha rolls out of the ring, trying to get the blood back down to her legs but the Heritage Champion isn't going to afford such luxury to his challenger and rolls out after her.  He grabs her and Irish whips her toward the guardrail, but she counters and sends him in.  He hits hard and she presses the attack by charging in only to eat a boot to the face! The champ grabs her and throws her back inside the ring, sliding in after her.  He scoops her up and drops her gut first across his knee and goes for a cover again!

1...

KICKOUT!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: La Cucaracha keeps kicking out earlier and earlier!

BASTIAN KRULL: While I do admire her stubborn nature, I think it might be the wrong thing to be doing against this particular opponent.  Ben Chrenshaw will keep dishing out punishment, and she'll keep exerting extra energy trying to make him think it's making her stronger. 

Chrenshaw does a short arm Irish whip, bringing Cucaracha into his knee and applies an abdominal stretch in the dead centre of the ring.  He cackles as his challenger cries out in pain as he exposes her midsection and begins slamming his forearm into it.  Cucaracha is able to slide out of it and can't get a hip toss, so does a roll through... pops up and dropkick! Chrenshaw goes down and Cucaracha waits for him to get up... SLING BLADE! She heads up top and leaps off with a body press! NO ONE HOME! Chrenshaw rolls her onto her back and covers!

1-KICKOUT!

The crowd roars at Cucaracha's tenacity, but Chrenshaw grabs her up and slams her into the corner.  Several knees to the midsection follow, then a knee to the head! Chrenshaw grabs her wrist and sends her running out into the opposite corner.  She runs in, but jumps onto the second rope.  Chrenshaw runs in... kicks her leg out and she falls to the mat! He smiles wide as she holds her leg in pain... he grabs it and signals for the en--SMALL PACKAGE!

BASTIAN KRULL: She got 'em! She suckered him in!

Cucaracha rolls out of the ring, grabs the Heritage title and hops up and down as Chrenshaw slides out after her.  She jumps into the crowd and takes off up the steps, she raises the title high in the sea of people trying to make her hand sign.  Chrenshaw steams at ringside.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: So, La Cucaracha will meet Corey Cruelty in a few weeks time on Mane Event.  I can't say that we've seen the last of Ben Chrenshaw and La Cucaracha though especially with these two holding a win apiece over each other. 

JAKE AARONS: This next contest is scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit and is a no disqualification match! Introducing first from the Chicken Coop in Tijuana, Mexico! He weighs in at one hundred and ninety pounds... EL HIJO DE POLLO!

ALL YOU CAN EAT
ALL YOU CAN EAT

"The Cock of the Walk" El Hijo de Pollo makes his way to the stage. Hijo stands stoically and absorbs the response from the crowd. Hijo abruptly points to the stars and BOOM. A barrage of breadcrumbs shoot from the stage and into the crowd.

ALL YOU CAN EAT
ALL YOU CAN EAT

Hijo maintains this stance until all breadcrumbs have trickled to the ground. Hijo grabs a plastic bottle filled with chicken grease. With his eyes glued to the squared circle, the luchadore hurries to the apron. Before facing the crowd he takes a giant swig from the grease bottle. Hijo nearly hemorrhages as he flexes to the crowd culminating in Hijo discharges a greasy mist all over himself and the lucky few in the crowd.

JAKE AARONS: His opponent! From Leksand, Sweden! He weighs in at one hundred and seventy pounds! MATT PULVER!

The instrumental of Nelly’s “Heart of a Champion” begins playing as the mouth of the giant lion head opens up. As the beat kicks in, Matt Pulver steps out onto the ramp, checking his wrists and warming up a bit. He keeps his eyes focused on the ring as he walks down the ramp with the determined steps. Once he reaches the ring, he quickly steps through the middle and top rope and raises an arm to the audience. He takes off his Lion's Road T-shirt and backs into his corner, rolling his wrists, checking the ropes, stretching his legs and just warming up in general.

JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this contest is Xav---

Xavier Price's introduction is interrupted as El Hijo de Pollo rushes in, swiftly kicking Matt Pulver in the groin just as he did on 6/23 to get disqualified. Obviously, that's not the case here and Pollo grabs the doubled over Pulver and slams him head first into the turnbuckle. Pollo follows up with a headbutt and Matt Pulver's already been busted open! Pollo headbutts him again as he's on his knees and Pulver responds by getting fired up! He rises to his feet and begins feeding Pollo an unhealthy barrage of forearm strikes! He backs the Pollo Bucket founder into the ropes and rears back for a big strike, but Pollo knees him in the gut! Pulver falls to his knees and gets a Chicken Scratch Superkick! Pollo steps on the back of Pulver's calves and applies a Mexican Surfboard, then brings Pulver up and back, locking him in a Dragon sleeper! Pollo uses his free hand to gouge the laceration on Pulver as he wrenches the hold in creating quite the visual of Matt Pulver crying out with blood rushing down his face.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: He saw fit to be disrespectful with the fish mask, now he's wearing a crimson mask!

After repeated answers of "NO!" to Xavier Price asking if he wants to submit, El Hijo de Pollo releases Matt Pulver from the hold. Pollo parades around the ring as Pulver crawls over to the ropes and begins pulling himself to his feet. Pollo stomps over to him and easily dodges a wild back elbow attempt and hooks him in a waist lock, then hooks the leg and slams Pulver into the mat! He covers!

KICKOUT!

Pollo grabs Pulver and pulls him to his feet, dragging him over to the top rope and begins pushing him onto it effectively choking him. Pollo climbs onto the second rope to increase the pressure!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: El Hijo de Pollo using all of his favourite tactics!

BASTIAN KRULL: He's biting him! He's biting him!

Pollo is indeed biting him! Pulver screams in pain before Pollo lets go and then spits the blood out into Pulver's face! He swings Pulver around and Dragon suplexes him to the mat! Instead of going for a pin however, Pollo applies a grounded bridged double chicken wing or the Cattle Mutilation as its called! Pulver yells out in pain as Price again asks him if he'd like to submit but again it's a resounding NO! Pollo releases the hold, and Xavier Price quickly tries to check the cut but Pollo shoves him aside and throws Pulver out of the ring! Pollo waits for Pulver to start getting to his feet before he bounces off the ropes and comes rushing out with the tope con hilo on his mind! Pulver dashes aside and Pollo hits the floor hard!

BASTIAN KRULL: Tope con he's not home!

Pulver sloppily grabs Pollo up and Northern light suplexes him into the ring apron! The crowd roars with HOLY SHIT! chants as Pulver and Pollo both lay nearly lifeless on the floor. Pulver comes to first as expected, then grabs Pollo and rolls him into the ring. Pulver falls to his knees on the outside, bleeding profusely and slowly grabs the ring skirt and begins pulling himself up. Hijo is doing the same in the ring with the ropes. Pulver slides in, stumbles to his feet just as Hijo comes flying in with a European uppercut! Pulver gets rocked into the corner and Pollo picks himself up off his knees, and runs to the corner... grabs Pulver and runs into the middle of the ring looking for an ace crusher to complete the 99 Cent Special. However, Pulver stops him short, swings him around...

BASTIAN KRULL: FLYING CROSS ARMBREAKER! El Hijo de Pollo has nothing to save him!

Pulver's blood is making it hard for him to keep the armbar held tightly, and Pollo takes advantage of that in planning his escape. He rolls into the armbar, then stacks Pulver up like an accordion and prepares to lift him. Pulver responds by beating him with the heel of his boot! Pollo is finally able to pull his arm out of Pulver's grasp before staggering away from the strikes and falls into the corner.  Pulver uses the opposite corner to pull himself up, making the mistake of turning his back to the veteran chicken.  Pollo sneakily hops onto Pulver's back and initially has a rear naked choke applied, but when Pulver stands straight up, Pollo pulls both his arms back like a surfboard!

BASTIAN KRULL: That's the Slaughterhouse Stretch! Mandeville, I think this is it for Matt Pulver - I have never seen anyone escape from this move!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: No one has!

Pulver falls to one knee and Price asks him again if he wants to give it up, but Pulver responds by violently shaking his head no and blood flies off with every shake! Pulver feeds off the energy of the crowd chanting PULVER! PULVER! PULVER! and fights up to a standing position once more.  Pollo changes it into a double chickenwing! Pulver is twisting and turning, trying to get free of the hold when he loses his balance and goes stumbling forward! Pulver drops across the top rope, inadvertently sending El Hijo de Pollo over the top rope and by association, himself.  The two topple to the floor in a heap and a loud HOLY SHIT chant begins again as Xavier Price and several medical staff rush to the area where they fell to check them over. 

BASTIAN KRULL: Well, I wouldn't consider that an escape but it'll do the job just the same!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: That's if either man can get up after the spill they just took!

After a couple minutes, Pulver drags himself into the ring and lays on the mat.  El Hijo de Pollo gets to the apron and hunches over, Pulver gets to his feet and pulls Hijo in between the middle and bottom ropes and snaps off a half hatch suplex! He rolls back out of the ring and grabs a steel chair, he wipes the blood out of his eyes before sliding inside the ring with it.  Pollo can only watch as Pulver raises the chair above his head and slams it down across Pollo's back! The chicken man cries out in pain, writhing on the mat.  Pulver unfolds the chair and sits it in the centre of the ring... he grabs Pollo and slams him into the corner! He hooks him up... NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX ON THE CHAIR! The chair predicatbly breaks into an usuable state and Pollo is writhing on the mat once more.  Pulver climbs on top.

The crowd's HOLY SHIT chants subside and so begin chants of PULVER! PULVER! PULVER! He immediately gets attended to by medical staff, who do their best to clean up his cut while other staff checks over El Hijo de Pollo.  After a minute or two, Matt Pulver is patched up and is about to leave the ring when El Hijo de Pollo sits up and calls him back.  Pollo holds his back in pain, but extends his hand.  The crowd chants NO! NO! NO! but Pulver grabs his hand, pulls him to his feet and the two have a stare down.  Pollo extends his hand again, and Pulver reluctantly shakes it and Pollo raises his arm in victory before falling back to the mat.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: See Bastian? Chickens are good sports!

BASTIAN KRULL: The fight these two gave each other, I'm very happy to see these two bury the hatchet.  There's no room in our sport for what El Hijo de Pollo did to Pulver two weeks ago, I don't care if you were acting on emotion.  These two settled their issue here in this brutal match and handshake hopefully means this is over between them. 

Pulver raises Pollo's arm also as the scene cuts to the back. 

JAKE AARONS: This is your main event of BETWEEN TWO WORLDS and is for the undisputed King of the Lions Championship!

The stone-grooved rhythm of “Columbia” by Oasis gets the heads off the crowd bobbing as the speakers buzz to the pulse of the bass. Julian Cutlass emerges from the backstage clad in a blue, hooded robe and the crowd warps into a frenzy as he steadily makes his way down the aisle with a relaxed, assured confidence. He throws the robe to one of the handlers outside of the ring before climbing the steps and ducking underneath the top rope to enter the ring. He stretches his legs and throws a few punches before standing in his corner in wait. 


Coolio's "Gangster's Paradise" begins playing and the lights shut off to a good pop.  Hundreds of flash bulbs go off on the stage as the lion's mouth roars open, spotlighting the second generation King of the Lions Champion, Robb Daniels and his wife, Lauren Parker-Daniels.  Daniels walks out ahead, a very serious look on his face as he locks eyes with Cutlass.  He pats the belt around his waist and enters the ring, getting right into Cutlass' face before referee Cordell Garner is forced to separate them.  Parker-Daniels heads to ringside, grabbing her husband's entrance attire from him.

JAKE AARONS: This match is set for one fall with a thirty minute time limit! A sudden death overtime period if needed.  Introducing first... he resides in Vancouver, British Columbia... and weighs in tonight at two hundred and nineteen pounds... the first generation King of the Lions Champion... JULIAN CUTLASS!

Streamers fly in as he raises his belt high into the air.

JAKE AARONS: His opponent from Knoxville, Tennessee! He weighs in at two hundred and thirty five pounds! The second generation King of the Lions Champion... ROBB DANIELS!

Daniels raises his belt, getting right into Cutlass' face again. 

JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this bout is Cordell Garner!

Handlers take each belt and referee Cordell Garner calls for the bell and the two men stare each other down from across the ring, Robb Daniels decides to start forward first and yells at Julian Cutlass to bring it and the first generation champion explodes out of the corner looking for the Blazin' Kick! Daniels ducks and goes behind, Cutlass elbows himself free and spins around as Daniels stumbles back! LARIAT! The second generation champ falls back into the ropes and just as Cutlass is about to charge again, Daniels does a go behind once more and this time snaps off a German suplex faster than you can say undisputed champion! Daniels doesn't immediately follow up on his attack, so Garner orders him back into the corner and initiates the knockout ten count on Cutlass, who is clearly here and with the program but waits until Garner is at seven to get back up to his feet.

BASTIAN KRULL: Both men are veterans of this sport, and the tactic Julian Cutlass employed there is something you see a lot of veterans do against younger athletes - they take as long as they need to return to their feet.  This isn't his first rodeo and depending on how this match goes, it may not be his last.

Cutlass and Daniels engage in a knuckle lock or try to at least, it breaks down before they can lock their other hands up in the hold - they begin exchanging forearm shots back and forth before Daniels switches to a European uppercut! Cutlass staggers back into the ropes but comes out with a running palm strike that rocks Daniels back into the ropes.  The second generation champion comes back out and Cutlass rails him with repeated Mongolian chops! Daniels falls to a knee and Cutlass shouts BLAZIN' KICK and hits the ropes, Daniels gets up, scoops him up in a fireman's carry and dumps him upside down in the corner!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: This is interesting, Bastian, if I'm Robb Daniels, I don't want to get into a striking exchange with Julian Cutlass but if I'm Cutlass, I don't want to be so wild and reckless that I get dumped on my head every time I see a tiny opening to maybe finish this match.  It's not going to be a long one if this keeps up.

Once more, Cutlass is given the ten count to return to his feet and at six, he kicks his feet off the turnbuckles and does a backwards somersault to his feet.  Garner keeps Daniels back as Cutlass collects himself and turns around, the two champions are then ordered to continue fighting by Garner.  Daniels swoops in for a fireman's carry again, and doesn't get quite it - Cutlass applies a kmura and forces Daniels to the mat, trying to swing his legs around and lock in a full armbar but Daniels seems to be aware of what's going on and spins himself out of trouble.  Cutlass gives up his back and Daniels takes back mount, trying to grab Cutlass' arm as he works his outer leg around to try and lock on an armbar.  Cutlass knows what he's trying and uses the chance to get himself back on his back, leaving Daniels in side control.  This results in an inadvertent lateral press...

1...

KICKOUT!

Daniels back off and lets Cutlass get to his feet and the two lock-up again, Daniels gets a hammerlock applied and then quickly body slams Cutlass with his arm trapped underneath! Daniels takes side control again, this time with a kimura attempt in mind.  Cutlass does a great job keeping Daniels' right leg from getting past his head despite not having access to his free hand (which Daniels is on top of) to do so.  Cutlass begins kneeing Daniels in the head every time Cordell Garner asks him if he wants to give it up, which indicates a pretty clear answer I do suppose.  Garner seems to think so too and stops asking, Daniels gets up off his knees and tries to swing around for a cross armbreaker attempt but Cutlass rotates his body and begins upkicking Daniels! Daniels releases his submission attempt after an upkick connects with his nose, he goes staggering backwards and Cutlass gets right up, boots him in the gut and hooks an arm! Cutlass wrestles him to the mat and begins driving knees into Daniels' head, shoulders, whatever happen to be in the way of his knees!

BASTIAN KRULL: That must be the Knee Bomber he was telling me about!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Daniels might have to submit! That's if he doesn't get knocked out first!

Garner is in great position, asking Daniels if he wants to submit and the second generation champion says no! Garner then informs him that he's got to intelligently defend himself or get free of the hold or he'll stop the match.  Clearly Daniels doesn't like the idea of that as he begins shaking his body, trying to get an arm loose.  Cutlass leans forward, putting more weight down on him making it harder for him to continue moving and shaking and so Daniels remembers his legs and kicks one around until he gets it onto the bottom rope.  Garner calls for the break, and Cutlass breaks without issue.  The first generation champ crawls away from Daniels, getting up to one knee while keeping an eye on the second generation champ.  When he sees Daniels lunge at him after getting to his feet, Cutlass turns and rocks Daniels' word with a leaping enzuigiri! The man known as the Headliner is wobbled, but remains standing... Cutlass leaps up and nails a second! Daniels falls face first into the mat and Cutlass quickly rolls him over and covers!

KICKOUT!

Cutlass repeatedly kicks Daniels in the side, forcing him to his knees and then hops on and applies a rear naked choke! Daniels tries to conserve his breathing while calmly fighting the hold off, sliding his hand under Cutlass' two hand clasp point.  Daniels feels he has him sufficiently distracted and rolls over, draping his leg over the bottom rope to force the hold to be broken.  Cutlass gets up and tries for a backdrop suplex.  Daniels has seen this before though and plants his feet, driving his fist into Cutlass' skull several times to break up the attempt.  Daniels hits the ropes and nails a clothesline, and while Cutlass is rocked enough to fall to a knee - he urges Daniels to it again! Daniels hits the ropes to do it, and Cutlass comes looking for the Blazin' Kick, but Daniels swats it down and drops Cutlass with a sidewalk slam! Daniels stalks him... clasping on the Guillotine choke when Cutlass leaves himself open for it! Cutlass grabs Daniels in a waist lock and hoists him off the ground, but Daniels releases the hold and clobbers Cutlass in order to get put back down on his own two feet.  Daniels ducks behind, German suplex attempt goes nowhere, Cutlass lands back on his feet and elbows his way out.  He turns around and nails Daniels with a palm strike! He grabs Daniels almost before he can even react to being hit and whips him into the ropes... BLAZIN' KICK! Daniels wobbles after being hit, slowly spinning around... then suddenly falls forward and crashes out to the floor between the middle and bottom ropes just narrowly missing the commentating table.  His wife Lauren rushes around to check on him.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: He almost fell on top of us!

BASTIAN KRULL: How calculated was that!? Robb Daniels absorbed the Blazin' Kick and did everything he could to stay standing long enough to get some of his wits back to the point he could actually dictate where he wanted to land. 

Cutlass climbs out of the ring after Daniels, who uses the guardrail to get to his feet. Lauren Parker-Daniels takes off to the other side of the ring as Cutlass grabs her husband and throws him back inside the ring before climbing onto the apron.  He avoids a Daniels shoulder thrust attempt and kicks the second generation champion in the chest! Daniels stumbles back into the ring and Cutlass climbs in after.  Cutlass sneaks up, grabs Daniels in a front facelock and hoists him up for a brainbuster but Daniels knees him in the head and gets put right back down.  He pushes Cutlass away, trying to regain his composure but the first generation champion charges...

BASTIAN KRULL: SPINEBUSTER by Daniels!

Daniels jackknife pins him!

...

KICKOUT!

Cutlass kicks out, and Daniels immediately pulls him in a front facelock of his own and snaps off a suplex! Daniels begins micmicking a photographer as Cutlass is struggling to his feet, Daniels spins him around, kicks him in the gut and goes for the Stunner! Cutlass clamps on the rear naked choke again, but Daniels quickly back pedals and crushes Cutlass between him and the turnbuckle! Daniels takes a moment to tell everyone how very intelligent he is for his quick thinking an--CUTLASS APPLIES THE REAR NAKED CHOKE AGAIN!

BASTIAN KRULL: What a veteran move! Julian Cutlass applies the choke, jumps on his back and gets the hooks in and contorts his weight so he spins Daniels away from the ropes!

Referee Cordell Garner asks Daniels, who's fading quickly... he grabs the arm, lifts it once... it falls.  He lifts it a second time, it doesn't quite fall all the way... Daniels has got some life yet! Cutlass releases the choke and pushes Daniels off.  Daniels is wobbly getting to his feet and Cutlass grabs him in a waist lock, throwing an arm behind his head and spikes him with the backdrop suplex!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Oh my god!

...

FOOT ON THE ROPE!

The crowd and Julian Cutlass have much of the same reaction as Cordell Garner holds up two fingers.  Cutlass wearily gets to his feet as Daniels slowly pulls himself to his with the ropes, Cutlass grabs him and tries for an exploder but Daniels grabs the ropes and hangs on for dear life.  Cutlass backs up and Garner's request but immediately tries for it again when Daniels gets off the ropes, but the second gen champion elbows his way free.  Cutlass remains persistent and goes for it again, the two struggle and struggle... Cutlass lifts him with pure strength, but Daniels lands on top of Cutlass' head! Cutlass holds his head, rolling up to his knees and doubling over while Daniels gets up, all wobbly himself.  Lauren Parker-Daniels pounds on the apron trying to rally her husband, but he falls against the top rope and leans on it for a few moments.  Referee Cordell Garner is checking Cutlass over, who remains on his knees clearly a little dazed but pushes Garner aside, rises to his feet and marches toward Daniels! He grabs the second generation champion and hooks him in a front facelock, he tries to hoist him up but he's spent, and Daniels' weight isn't cooperating as it might either.  Cutlass gets him halfway up, puts him down and tries again... he gets him all the way up! Lauren Parker-Daniels grabs his foot from the outside and instead of going down like she planned, Cutlass puts her husband back down and gives her a verbal lashing! Referee Cordell Garner orders her to the back and urges security to take her there.  This distraction allows Daniels to low blow Cutlass, Daniels smirks and manages a meager attempt of his snapshot taunt before driving Cutlass to the mat with his Picture Perfect Stunner! Daniels sits up for a moment then simply falls on top of Cutlass as the count is made!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: We have an undisputed champion!

Lauren Parker-Daniels is let back to ringside as the match is now over and grabs both the first and second generation belts, then slides into the ring, draping them over her husband's shoulders as he struggles to get up.  He smiles weakly, then resorts to just sitting on the mat with the titles in hand.  After a few moments, he gets his wits about him and roars to his feet holding both titles high in the air before dropping to the mat and rolling out onto the runway.  Parker-Daniels helps him to his feet and the wife leads her undisputed champion husband to the back.  This leaves Cutlass all alone inside the ring just as he sits up.  He's clearly disappointed, a little pissed and hurt.  He gets to his feet, sighs and raises his arm to acknowledge the LOUD Cutlass chants and then stands with his hands on his hips looking at Robb Daniels leaving.  He asks Garner some questions, but Garner shakes his head and says he didn't see it.  Cutlass tries to protest but Garner remains firm, telling him that he has to see it to call it.  Cutlass nods and once more soaks the reaction in, smiling wide when PLEASE DON'T GO chants begin filling the air. 

We cut back to Mandeville Nelson and Bastian Krull at ringside.

BASTIAN KRULL: Through nefarious means or not, Mandy - an undisputed King of the Lions has been crowned!

MANDEVILLE NELSON: Other than the finish, I don't think either man has anything to be ashamed about.  This was a battle, a war and these two put it all on the line to try and walk out of here with both title belts.  Unfortunately, it was depths that Julian Cutlass refuses to go that won the match for Robb Daniels. 

BASTIAN KRULL: Lots of other great matches - La Cucaracha has won the Heritage title from Ben Chrenshaw and already has a new challenger lined up in Corey Cruelty.  I don't think we've seen the last of Ben Chrenshaw in the title picture though.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: No, certainly not.  He's going to anchor himself there because he's too good not to be, I could see him tangling with the winner of Cucaracha/Cruelty, I could see him challenging Robb Daniels. Heck, I could even see him being a great addition to the Iron Division. 

BASTIAN KRULL: Very true! Anyway, fans, my name is Bastian Krull.

MANDEVILLE NELSON: And my name is Mandeville Nelson.

BASTIAN KRULL: We'll see you next week on Mane Event live from Hawaii!

The final shot is of the ring where Cutlass is bowing to the fans.
