We see a carpet rolled across the Lion’s Road ring, with a pair of director’s chairs set up and a bar stool set between the chairs. There is in a low murmur of excitement as an unfamiliar theme takes over the air, the crowd’s demeanour taking on one of perplexity;
~Everybody wants to rule the world…~
The iconic ‘Tears for Fears’ lyric plays, sending the crowd into a bit of an uproar coinciding with the emergence of Lions Road’s very own talk show host, Kenneth Starr, hand-in-hand with the brightest of new signings - the incomparable, Sarah Starr! Midway down the aisle he pulls her in close to embrace - much to the displeasure of the crowd - before finally reaching the ring. He slides in under the bottom rope, then holds the ropes open for her to enter. The two make way to the center of the ring where Sarah raises her arms up, flaunting her Starr factor, while Kenneth stands behind clapping.
CHAD GOMEZ:
What a success story these two are! He guides her to one of the chairs while he goes to take a mic.
KENNETH STARR:
Boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, prepare to be entertained, because you’re in for a treat! The, hashtag, Ken Starr Show has just come to town... and you all have a front row seat!The crowd voices their displeasure at the over-inflated sense Of self-worth of the arrogant talk show host.
KENNETH STARR:
Yes, yes, I’m sure you’re all very eager to witness the third instalment in this show. And I couldn’t think of a better way to start this show, than to reintroduce my guest from episode one now that she has a few matches under her. Ladies and gentlemen, the astonishing, the ravishing, the undefeated STARR of the show - my wife, Sarah STARR!!The camera pans to the side revealing the STARR with a flaunting wave, as if she knew she was better than the rest. BASTIAN KRULL:
The Starrs must be deaf, this crowd HATES them...CHAD GOMEZ:
Or much like feeding babies, they're persistent because they know this crowd would die without them.The camera cuts back to Kenneth.
KENNETH STARR:
Sarah, dear, when we last saw you, you had made a declaration of intent with your impending debut in the company. Most blew you off... foolishness at it’s very core... but now with those matches under your belt, your words ring true. So tell the unfortunates out there, just what it means and how it feels to be RIGHT. You’re the only undefeated in Lion’s Road to-date. That by definition, means you’re better than the rest!
SARAH STARR:
First of all, I’m not going to say a word until these fans quiet down! I mean I KNOW you love me, but come on, let me talk!This only eggs the crowd on as they let out another chorus of boos, one that prompts Sarah to sit with her microphone in her hand for nearly three full minutes without saying a single word. She clears her throat into the microphone finally, ready to continue. SARAH STARR:
Not only am I better than the rest, but I’ve been saying so since before I stepped foot in a Lion’s Road ring. You see, there’s a difference between being cocky and being confident, and I knew as soon as I signed a contract here that not only could I compete with anyone here, but that I could BEAT anyone here and so far, I’ve proved it over and over again. Don’t believe me? Ask Aphrodite if you can find her, I sent her packing from the company.She grins as the fans begin boo’ing again. SARAH STARR:
Don’t stop there, why don’t you ask Emperor Ian or Johnny Ajax? I can say I’m a STARR over and over again, but at this point there’s nothing better than proving it, which brings me to my SUPPOSED opponent next week. After I squash a Cockroach later tonight, I wrestle another supposed ‘legend’ next week, if he signs of course, some of you may have heard of him. I think his name is JANE van der Rooster or something. Isn’t that it?She laughs at the purposeful botching of the name of the 42 year old veteran of the ring, Jan van der Roost. She opens her mouth to continue but is interrupted as ‘Rooster’ by Alice in Chains begins to play as Jan van der Roost walks out to a pop. Wearing an Orange Nehru Shirt and Dark Slacks, he slowly walks down the aisle as the lights fade into an orange glow. He walks up the steps, holding a paper in his hand. He looks out at the crowd, wipes his feet on the apron, then steps into the ring, glaring at Sarah and Kenneth. Jan walks up to the director’s chair, picks up the mic and sits down on the chair. JAN VAN DER ROOST:
You may continue. SARAH STARR:
I MAY continue? Babe, is he coming onto OUR show and giving me permission to talk?KENNETH STARR:
I know this old man isn’t telling the HOST how to run his own show. Where’s your show at anyway old school? Oh that’s right... you don’t have one.He turns, sharing a handful of snickers with Sarah.
BASTIAN KRULL:
I’m beginning to notice a pattern with this show…
CHAD GOMEZ:
What’s that? A considerably higher entertainment level than other shows?The ‘host with the most’ regains his composure, once again turning his attention on the uninvited guest.
KENNETH STARR:
Seriously. Did your motorized scooter make a wrong turn to the bingo hall? Just who do you think you are, anyway?!Jan stares at the two of them, keeping a stoic look on his face, remaining unamused to the back-handed comments coming from the host. He taps the piece of paper on his knee slowly. SARAH STARR:
So not only are you as old as dirt, but apparently you’re a mute too? We both asked you a question, the proper etiquette would be to answer us.Sarah, in an attempt to intimidate Jan stands from her chair and scoots it right next to the Roosters’. She sits the chair down and then sits back down, holding her microphone towards Rooster, mouthing ‘TALK’ as can be seen on camera and barely picked up on the microphone. As Jan finally opens his mouth to begin talking, she yanks her microphone away from his mouth with a grin on her face. SARAH STARR:
Sorry, I actually had something really important to say, it trumps whatever you were about to speak on. Sarah stands out of her chair, walking towards the ropes and looking directly into the crowd. SARAH STARR:
I have an announcement to make. This announcement proves why I’m the SUPA STARR I claim to be. After only two professional matches, I am now OFFICIALLY a sponsored Athlete by the Renati Brand! You can follow them on Twitter @renatibrand.Sarah walks back to her chair and sits down, sliding it away from Jan. SARAH STARR:
Go ahead, it’s your turn now.Jan starts to say something, but simply claps very slowly. He stops clapping and sits back in his chair. He holds up the piece of paper in his hand and gives a half smile to Sarah.
JAN VAN DER ROOST:
Well Congratulations. You have a sponsor. I am sure that everyone here will now run out to buy…. whatever Renati sells. But none of that really matters to me. What matters is what happens in this very ring. And as much as the two of you like to...He sets down the paper and makes a hand motion of talking with his hand.
JAN VAN DER ROOST:
I would much prefer to do this.He closes his hand, making a fist. He then picks up the paper and hands it to Kenneth. JAN VAN DER ROOST:
Since I do not think she can read, let her know that the paper, is a signed contract, for our match next week. And if you look in the small print, that is not just a one match contract.
BASTIAN KRULL:
That's news to me!
CHAD GOMEZ:
Everything the Starrs have touched has turned to gold, Roost knows a good place when he sees it. Jan stands up and looks at the two of them. JAN VAN DER ROOST:
The old man will be seeing the two for the foreseeable future here at Lion’s Road. Buckle up buttercups, the Starrs are about go Dutch in Chicago… and That’s the Way It Is. Van der Roost takes the microphone and places it in Sarah’s lap then walks over to the ropes. He steps out to the apron, then hops to the floor, heading towards backstage.
KENNETH STARR:
The way it is?!The ‘host with the most’ interrupted. KENNETH STARR:
What say you, dear? I know we’re supposed to ‘respect our elders’... but what say you to dumping the trash like a pair of old disco boots? Think he can last longer than Ap... Afro... Aphro…. whatever her name was that you DESTROYED in that beautiful debut match?Sarah stands up from her chair and walks towards the ropes, looking up at van der Roost who stopped in the aisle. SARAH STARR:
He might last longer that Aphro-whatever, but he won’t outlast me. You made a mistake signing that contract, Rooster. It’s about to get RED HOTT for you in Lion’s Road and you have no one to blame but yourself.She drops her microphone, turning towards Kenneth, telling him she has to get ready for her match with ‘The Cockroach’ and the crowd perks up for the confirmation of the huge match!
BASTIAN KRULL:
Rumoured for weeks, but it's official now! Jan Van der Roost versus Sarah Starr next week here on this program!KENNETH STARR:
That’s our show, but stick around - and watch the object of your dreams become the Roach Killer!
LA CUCARACHA VS. SARAH STARR IS NEXT!

JAKE AARONS:
This opening contest is one fall to a finish with a ten minute time limit! Introducing first from Rochester, New York! Weighing one hundred and thirty pounds... SARAH STARR! Her opponent from Toronto, Ontario! Weighing in at one hundred and twenty nine pounds! LA CUCARACHA!Kenneth Starr walks up to Aarons and slips something in his jacket pocket as he whispers in his ear.
JAKE AARONS:
I've just been informed that Sarah Starr has dropped a few pounds and is now lighter than that... fat cockroach?Cucaracha smiles and shakes her head, giving a good WTF reaction to the fans.
JAKE AARONS:
Anyway, your referee for this bout is Buster Powell!Aarons and Kenneth Starr exit the ring and Buster Powell calls for the bell. The bell sounds and the two women lock-up in the centre of the ring. Starr, the taller of the two, pushes Cucaracha back into the corner and then soaks in the boos as she poses and claims superior strength while Kenneth Starr applauds on the outside. Cucaracha doesn't really react to it as she's more than used to people like that by now, so she just casually strolls up and locks up again. Starr decks her with a forearm as Cucaracha tries for an arm wringer and knocks her back into the ropes. Starr clamps on a side headlock, but Cucaracha shoots her out into the ropes. The Canadian Cockroach hops over the Superstarr and then catches her on the rebound with a hip toss! Starr pops up and eats a forearm! Starr staggers back into the corner and calls for a time out. Referee Buster Powell is taken aback that someone would call for a time out in a professional wrestling contest, but here we are. Kenneth Starr leaps onto the apron and attends to his wife with a towel and a water bottle while Powell is backing Cucaracha up into her corner. Powell turns around and sees this and chases Kenneth off of the apron, Starr takes a swig of her drink and spits it in Cucaracha's face!
CHAD GOMEZ:
I hope she wasn't feeling too misty eyed about her return! Hahaha!With Cucaracha doubled over, Starr grabs her and chucks her out of the ring! Kenneth Starr gets in the camera and tells the viewers at home that that was probably the closest thing to a shower than Cucaracha has had in a long time! Cucaracha goes to climb back inside, grabbing the middle rope but Kenneth Starr grabs her boot and distracts her. Sarah struts over and knee lifts Cucaracha to send her back down to the floor. Kenneth Starr denies any involvement with the situation when questioned by Buster Powell, but the fans are saying otherwise! Cucaracha tries to climb up on the apron once again, but Starr grabs her by the head and drops her down across the middle rope. The Cockroach falls onto the apron, holding her neck in pain as Starr exits the adjacent side and comes around, pulling Cucaracha half way off the apron... then drops an elbow across the throat! Starr slides back in to break the count and then rolls right back out, she grabs Cucaracha's head and pulls it down over the apron, dropping to a seated position to increase the pressure! Referee Buster Powell exits the ring and and breaks the illegal hold up, Starr rolls back inside the ring and gets admonished by Powell.
BASTIAN KRULL:
I'm hearing lots of conflicting reports about that neck of La Cucaracha. Some say it wasn't as bad as originally feared, some say she came back too early. CHAD GOMEZ:
She's favouring it!BASTIAN KRULL:
Of course she is! She just got it wrenched against the apron! That's not exactly comfortable!Starr pulls Cucaracha up out of the corner and snapmares her down to the mat before planting her foot on Cucaracha's face/neck and rubbing it in! Cucaracha kicks away in pain as Powell pushes Starr off, Kenneth tells Powell to keep his hands off of her! Cucaracha retreats to the corner where she eats a back elbow smash. She lets Cucharacha fall down to her knees and then clamps on a sleeper hold! Cucaracha reaches for the ropes, but Starr gets up and drags her away... Cucaracha uses this chance to arm drag her to the mat! Cucaracha charges to her feet in a hurry to the delight of the fans... but runs right into a European uppercut! Cucaracha falls back into the corner again and Starr goes in, but gets eye raked by La Cucaracha! Powell produces a yellow card!
JAKE AARONS:
Referee Buster Powell has issued a yellow card to La Cucaracha! Her first public warning!The announcement incites some boos considering the Starr's cheating that went undetected, but Cucaracha marches on. With Starr stunned, she snaps her down to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker! She makes a cover! 1... ... 2-KICK OUT! Cucaracha gets up, waylays Starr with a flying forearm! Starr goes down, but gets up in the corner and eats a high knee! She goes down to the mat and Cucaracha begins crossing her arms, signalling for the Hiss of Death! Kenneth Starr jumps onto the apron and grabs La Cucaracha by the mask! He lets go before Powell can see him... Jan van der Roost rushes down the aisle to a good pop and pulls Kenneth off the apron! Sarah Starr uses this opportunity to sneak up... Cucaracha turns around, ENZUI-NO! Starrstruck misses! La Cucaracha... LA MAGISTRAL! Cucaracha yanks on the tights! 1... ... 2... ... 3! Jan van der Roost releases his grip on Kenneth Starr, letting him rush back into the ring. Roost grabs Cucaracha and pulls her out so no harm can be done to her, Cucaracha holds her neck in pain as Roost raises her arm much to the chagrin of the Starrs!
CHAD GOMEZ:
He didn't have any business being out here! Kenneth Starr has a managerial license that entitles him to be at ringside.
BASTIAN KRULL:
Yes, RINGSIDE. He was up on the apron, I'm thankful Roost came down because it evened the odds! Did Roost hit Kenneth Starr? No, he didn't! I probably would have, I most certainly would have! The guy's a weasel!CHAD GOMEZ:
Oh, whatever!Sarah Starr drapes herself over the second rope, yelling at Roost and Cucaracha as the show goes to break.

Emperor Ian walks to the ring, taking a microphone as he enters.
EMPEROR IAN:
Hello there ladies and germs!A slight boo.
EMPEROR IAN:
So for this week’s show, I’ve been told by management to come up with a segment. I wanted to come up with something creative that would be remembered for a long time to come. But then I spent the week in a drunken stupor and came up with nothing. So I guess I’ll just interview a random fan or something. Yes, one of you could be chosen to come into this very ring and chat with a real rassler. Who knows, you may end up the next Ken Bone. So let’s see some enthusiasm. Show me how much you want it!A few fans wave and cheer, though many go to get snacks and/or pee. EMPEROR IAN:
Alright, uh... I guess the lady in the light blue sweater. Come on up...if ya want.Security brings a curvy blonde lady who looks to be around 40 with a pretty nice rack into the ring. EMPEROR IAN:
Alright, well first of all, how about giving us a name?
FAN:
It’s Amy.EMPEROR IAN:
Well hello there Amy, it's nice to have you on the show! Have you been to wrestling shows before, or is this your first?AMY:
My first time here, but I watch it all the time.
EMPEROR IAN:
So, you're a virgin.AMY:
Certainly not, Ian. Some chuckles from the fans. EMPEROR IAN:
Alrighty then, so... what is it that makes pro wrestling so exciting for you?AMY:
Well, I like seeing people beat the crap outta each other.EMPEROR IAN:
Of course.AMY:
But what I really like are the sexy men in tight spandex.EMPEROR IAN:
I bet.AMY:
I really like seeing them holding and grabbing and twisting each other.... It's incredibly sexy!Just then, a random male fan yells something about wanting Hammerstein to splash him. Ian shoots a weird look.
EMPEROR IAN:
Yeah... wrestling's pretty gay. Now like many promotions in recent years, we have women competing in matches with men so how do you feel about that?AMY:
I think it’s good that women get to do sports, but at the same time... I don’t see why they should compete with men. I like to watch sexy studs in hot action, but having a bunch of trashy lesbo sluts in there with them kills it for me.EMPEROR IAN:
I see.AMY:
It’s all politically correct feminazi bullshit. It used to be men and women, and now everything’s all mixed up. I bet they’ll bring in tranny freaks next and expect us to accept it.EMPEROR IAN (looking uncomfortable):
Uh... this has been fun, but I really gotta wrap this up so I hope you enjoy the rest of the show.
AMY:
You know what I’d really like, is to meet a sexy wrestler stud after the show and do a little wrestling of my own.
EMPEROR IAN:
Sounds like fun! Good luck!
AMY:
What about you Emperor? You gotta royal sceptre in your pants?She reaches out and feels him up.
AMY:
Yeah sure feels like it!Ian jumps back. EMPEROR IAN:
Hey hey, watch yourself lady! OK this little bit is over. Maybe I’ll do it again sometime, but I probably won’t. Bye!Ian quickly exits the ring, leaving Amy to stare at him lustfully before security escort her away. He climbs back inside as his opponent, Kaden Night jumps into the ring. For the sake of getting things up on time, here's a paragraph to recap what happened when Emperor Ian met the wild, exotic Kaden Night. Well, Ian tried to wrestle a normal match and Night began using his normal theatrics on him making it the second time in about ten minutes that he'd been groped and inappropriately touched. Which is an interesting though... what would Tumblr say about Adrian Street... or Goldust or even Rico? Nevertheless, equal opportunity groping as Amy and Night both get a handful of his royal package. Ian finally has enough of the fun and games and gets aggressive with his wrestling, Night turns it on also and we have ourselves a good little wrestling contest for several minutes. Night tries to DDT him, but Ian is able to nail the Face Smasher Bomb and then finishes him off with the Imperial Conquest. Ian makes it out of Grand Rapids with his royal spectre intact.

We arrive backstage in the middle of an argument between Lion's Road newcomer Grace Kazoulis and a middle-aged man wearing a Red Cross patch over his Lion's Road t-shirt. GRACE KAZOULIS:
You must been kidding me. Since I applied to work for this show I have been peeing into so many glasses I´m beginning to feel like a hospital.
RED CROSS:
Sorry about that, but they want to do some more testing.GRACE KAZOULIS:
Who is they and what do THEY think THEY will find?RED CROSS:
Dunno. Perhaps the way you look makes the bosses at Pollo Bucket think of steroids.
GRACE KAZOULIS:
Have you seen what the boss looks like lately?
Kazoulis points to one of the several pictures of the Pollo family on the wall, Black Pollo V in particular. He is looking much bigger than he was in his wrestling days.
RED CROSS:
He's not a wrestler anymore, he doesn't get tested.
GRACE KAZOULIS:
Gimme a break, man. I've been tested for steroids, for controlled substances, Hepatitis, athlete's foot, the Plague and I'm pretty sure I've been tested for alien DNA. I'm not the Time Lord around here, though. Test her, I'd be interested in the results.
RED CROSS:
I'm sorry, bu--
GRACE KAZOULIS:
Yeah, I know... "THEY" want to do more testing. Ugh, let's get it over with.
RED CROSS:
When you're done with the cup, I need a blood sample also...
GRACE KAZOULIS:
The things I do to get in the ring.
Grace turns and acknowledges the camera for the first time, shaking her head.
GRACE KAZOULIS:
Sorry pals, I got some really hard work ahead of me and I really need to do it alone. I´m sure it would be very interesting for the fans but the first cammy to show up the ladies room while I´m busy will end up as a toilet brush.
The cameraman nods as Kazoulis walks off.

The intro of "Can't Be Touched" hits and Grace Kazoulis emerges from the lion's mouth, walking slowly toward the ring with her head bobbing in sync with her music. JAKE AARONS:
This match is one fall to a finish with a ten minute time limit! Introducing first from Mt. Olympus! She weighs in at one hundred and seventy five pounds... GRACE KAZOULIS!She stops just short of the ring steps to take off her sunglasses and secures them inside her jacket before removing it and handing it off to a stage hand. She climbs the stairs and gets into the ring before heading to a corner and begins rolling her shoulders to work out the last few kinks before she begins modelling her physique. JAKE AARONS:
Her opponent from... uh, yeah. She weighs in at one hundred and twenty five pounds... ANNA MATHEWS!The lights go out and a loud crash is heard, the lights come back on and Anna Mathews steps out of a TARDIS that looks like it crash landed next to the commentary table. She glares at Chad Gomez before making her way down to the ring.
JAKE AARONS:
The referee for this bout is Robbie Morris!The bell sounds to begin the match and Anna Mathews immediately begins unleashing a big ball of violent strikes upon Grace Kazoulis and has her up against the ropes. Grace Kazoulis seems to be taken a bit off guard by the Time Lord's "give no fucks" approach when most people are a bit more fearful of her size and physique. Mathews backs up... HEART KICK! Kazoulis goes between the top and middle rope out to the floor, Mathews waits for a few moments until she gets back to her feet then grabs the top rope and somersaults out on top of her to the roar of the crowd! BASTIAN KRULL:
Anna Mathews didn't land so hot on that somersault flip, but she's got some time to recover because I don't think Grace Kazoulis is quite sure what to tend to first. Anna hit her with some strikes to the face, then a heart kick and then threw all one twenty five of herself on top of her! Referee Robbie Morris checks on both women before Mathews gets up, yanks Grace to her feet by her hair and rolls her back inside the ring. The Time Lord gets up inside and storms up behind Kazoulis as she's on one knee, Mathews grabs her in an inverted facelock and looks to be going for her swinging inverted DDT but Kazoulis calmly responds with three big right hands to Anna's noggin and gets herself released from the hold, Mathews staggers back but quickly regains her composure and decides to charge forward but Kazoulis dodges and catches her in a side carry position. Kazoulis displays her power by spinning Mathews and herself around several times before slamming her down across her knee for a backbreaker! Mathews arches her back in pain and Kazoulis goes back to selling the heart kick. CHAD GOMEZ:
As I always do, I'll give credit where it's due! Anna Mathews delivered that heart kick to Grace Kazoulis and knocked her out of the ring and here we are, a minute or two later and she's still reeling from that move! She nailed a huge move on Mathews and the heart kick has managed to buy some time for the self-proclaimed Time Lord to recover.Mathews pulls herself to her knees as Kazoulis stands up in the opposite corner, Kazoulis turns around and Mathews storms across the ring like a woman possessed... BAKATARE SLIDING KICK! She covers! 1... ... 2... KICK OUT! Kazoulis rolls away and Mathews attempts to do the same, but holds her back in pain. Kazoulis grabs her in a rear waistlock and yanks her to her feet, she tries for a German suplex but Anna blocks it. She tries again, blocked once more. Finally, Anna breaks free... enzuigiri! Kazoulis is rocked! Sheracles stumbles backwards into the corner and Mathews charges in and leaps onto her looking to monkey flip her across the ring, but Grace has other ideas and pancake chops her back down to the mat. The larger of the two shakes her head out and takes a moment to regain her breath before she leans down... KIP UP HURACANRANA! She rolls it through into a pin! 1... ... 2... ... NO! Mathews gets up and stalks behind Kazoulis, readying herself to deliver a Shoryuken... Kazoulis fights to her knees and Mathews clocks it. She staggers, but doesn't fall. Mathews frowns and backs up right into the corner before charging out... a second one... MISSES! Mathews handsprings off the ropes and nails a back elbow on Kazoulis! Sheracles stumbles back into the corner and Mathews goes in for the kill, she turns Kazoulis around in the corner and tries to hoist her up, but Sheracles kicks off the turnbuckle and sends them both backwards. More or less resulting in Anna Mathews giving her a backdrop suplex. Both women slowly get to their feet after Morris' ten count reaches seven, Mathews tries for the Boomerfly Kick but Grace kicks her in the gut and hoists her up... CRUCIFIX POWERBO--Anna slips out, Grace turns around and Shoteis the hell out of her! Mathews crashes to the mat and Kazoulis clamps on the Law of the Jungle dragon sleeper. Morris calls for the bell. BASTIAN KRULL:
Good call by rookie referee, Robbie Morris - I think the shotei KO'd her and there was no reason to clamp on the Dragon Sleeper, so Morris did his job and made the call to ensure that she wasn't in that hold for more than a few seconds. Grace Kazoulis didn't hold it in either, good sport.CHAD GOMEZ:
She frightens me.
BASTIAN KRULL:
She should. Are you going to belittle her like you do everyone else?CHAD GOMEZ:
Not when she's around.Stage hands come in and check on Mathews, while Kazoulis raises her arms in victory. She stops and looks down at Mathews, but gets the OK from a stage hand and nods before exiting the ring. She heads up the aisle, slapping hands with a few fans as the show goes to break.

LAST WEEK ON MANE EVENT:
HAMMERSTEIN vs. BEN CHRENSHAW
AFTER THE BREAK!

|

Post by Office on Oct 12, 2016 6:42:09 GMT -5
BASTIAN KRULL:
We're back! About to jump right into this one!The Smith's "Panic" hits and Ben Chrenshaw comes sauntering out, smirking as usual and pats the Iron Championship that is wrapped around his waist. JAKE AARONS:
This match is one fall to a finish with a ten minute time limit! Introducing first from London, England! He weighs in at two hundred and thirteen pounds... BEN CHRENSHAW!Chrenshaw ignores the fans heckling him and climbs onto the apron, wipes his feet and dips through the ropes. He hands his title to a stage hand and removes his entrance attire before warming up in the corner. "The Rockafeller Skank" by Fatboy Slim as STRAIGHT OUTTA WHYNOT flashes across the video screen, Hammerstein bounds out through the smoke and fog before crashing on the ground. He picks himself, dusts off and begins fist bumping some fans. JAKE AARONS:
His opponent from Whynot, Mississippi! He weighs in at two hundred and sixty seven pounds... HAMMERSTEIN!Hammerstein stops just short of the ring, ditches his shades and primps his hair before diving into the ring! JAKE AARONS:
YOUR REFEREE FOR THIS BOUT IS XAVIER PRICE!Aaron high tails it as Hammerstein and Chrenshaw go charging at each other, but Chrenshaw stops short and watches Hammerstein sail on by. Hammerstein hits the corner and turns around, not looking too happy about being outsmarted in that situation. Hammerstein demands the two lock-up and Chrenshaw shrugs and accepts the challenge. The two engage in a collar and elbow tie-up and Hammerstein seemingly uses all his strength to back Chrenshaw up a few feet because Chrenshaw roars back, pushing Hammerstein all the way back across the ring into the corner and the affable wrestler does little to stop it. Chrenshaw is told to break by Xavier Price and he does at the count of three, then slaps Hammer's face! Price lets out his signature WOW DUDE to the delight of the fans and Hammer grimaces while holding his face. He marches back into the centre of the ring and locks-up again, but Chrenshaw rakes his eyes and drives a knee into his gut before backing him up once again. Chrenshaw breaks and backs up, Hammerstein's expecting it this time though... Chrenshaw smirks and puts his hands down, but then goes for the slap! Hammerstein ducks it, Chrenshaw charges Hammerstein... Hammer hip tosses him! Chrenshaw gets back up, eats a body slam! The Iron Champion rolls out of the ring and Hammerstein is determined to go after him, but Price stops him in his tracks! BASTIAN KRULL:
Chrenshaw taking a walk...CHAD GOMEZ:
A wise move. Hammerstein is a clumsy guy, a bit daft. I will say though that when he starts picking up momentum in a match, he gets this confidence about him and can be difficult to contain and Ben Chrenshaw, he's the Iron Man of Lion's Road. He knows that. Chrenshaw gets back inside and they lock-up again, the Iron Champion backs Hammerstein against the ropes and holds his neck back before kneeing him in the gut! Hammer doubles over and the Iron Champion brings him up by the chin and wallops him with a couple right hands! Backed against the ropes again, Hammerstein is then whipped across the ring and eats a calf kick! Hammerstein goes down and Chrenshaw tries to follow it up with an elbow drop, but Hammerstein rolls out of danger. Hammerstein gets up, grabs a charging Ben Chrenshaw and arm drags him down to the mat before clamping on an arm lock! After a solid minute in the hold, Chrenshaw fights back to his feet and breaks free of the hold, Hammerstein tries to chop him but Chrenshaw whips him into the ropes! He doubles over and Hammerstein... MONGOLIAN CHOP! Chrenshaw goes back down to the mat and Hammerstein applies the arm lock again! The Iron Champion begins fighting his way back up, but Hammerstein stands up and drops an elbow on the back of the arm! Chrenshaw flattens out and Hammer applies a grounded hammerlock and then stands up, driving a knee down onto the elbow! Chrenshaw yelps and Hammerstein quickly yanks him to his feet and backs into the corner, the fans go quiet as it appears Hammerstein is about to go old school... but Hammerstein slips on his way up and lands in the corner! Chrenshaw grabs him and delivers successive knees to the midsection and then delivers the last one to the head! Hammerstein stumbles forward and flops to the mat, Chrenshaw covers! 1... ... 2... KICK OUT! Chrenshaw grabs Hammerstein and chucks him onto the bottom rope, then climbs up onto the middle rope and leaps off... stomping down on Hammerstein's spine! Hammerstein gets up to his knees in pain and the Iron Champion rushes in and dropkicks Hammer in the face! Hammerstein gets up and staggers away into the corner, Chrenshaw chases him down and delivers a right hand! He then proceeds to try and bash his head off the top turnbuckle, but Hammerstein blocks it! He elbows Chrenshaw and slams his head off the turnbuckle! Chrenshaw turns around in the corner and begins eating blow after blow from Hammerstein! Chrenshaw grabs the waist of Hammerstein's pants and pulls him forward as he ducks down, Hammerstein careens off the ring post and falls down to the mat!
CHAD GOMEZ:
Once again, Ben Chrenshaw halts the momentum of Hammerstein by doing the simplest of things to do so. BASTIAN KRULL:
He had a good stance going while he was delivering those strikes to Chrenshaw, but left his body wide open. Chrenshaw could have easily used a kick or a quick body blow to get the same result, but instead uses the ring post and doles out more damage.
CHAD GOMEZ:
He didn't become the Crippler by kissing babies, Bas.Chrenshaw pulls him into the centre of the ring and signals for the Wrinkle in Time, but Hammerstein uses his free leg to kick Chrenshaw off and send him back into the corner. The Iron Champion storms back out and chop blocks Hammerstein back down as he attempts to get up, and tries for the hold once again. Chrenshaw hangs on through the shove, but Hammerstein yanks him forward with his other leg! Chrenshaw stumbles forward, trips over Hammerstein and eats the top turnbuckle! The fans come alive as Hammerstein school boy cradles him! 1... ... 2... ... 3-NO! The fans gasp and Hammerstein has to be assured it was a two count by Price. Hammer storms to his feet, bounces off the ropes... KAMALA SPLASH! He hooks the leg! 1... ... 2... KICK OUT! Hammerstein pulls Chrenshaw up with him this time and goes to Drop the Hammer, but Chrenshaw pushes him away into the ropes! Hammerstein comes back, looking for a clothesline but the Iron Champion ducks it... hits the ropes, rebounds off... JAWBREAKER LA-NO! Hammerstein ducks that, spins Chrenshaw around and kicks him in the gut! He goes to Drop the Hammer again, but Chrenshaw clamps on a rear waistlock and runs him forward into the ropes... he rolls through, O Connor Roll! Chrenshaw doesn't hold for the pin though, instead opting to spin around and grab the leg... he tries for the Wrinkle in Time... Hammerstein is fighting it, but Chrenshaw unleashes several hard kicks into the hamstring and finally gets him turned over just as the bell sounds! Chrenshaw raises his arms in victory with a smirk as his dangerous single leg crab didn't take long to claim another victim. Price yanks his arms down and Chrenshaw glares at him in confusion, but Jake Aarons clears it up. JAKE AARONS:
Ladies and gentlemen, the time limit in this match has expired! Therefore... it is a draw! Chrenshaw storms up to Price, who wisely gets out of the ring before answering his questions. Chrenshaw turns around and storms after Hammerstein, but he too rolls out of the ring before he can be struck leaving the Iron Champion to kick the ropes. BASTIAN KRULL:
Ben Chrenshaw doesn't think too highly of Hammerstein, and what you're seeing is a man trying to come to terms with the fact that he couldn't beat him!
CHAD GOMEZ:
Wha-couldn't beat him!? Look at the footage, Bas! He was tapping before he was turned over, Xavier Price needs to have his referee license revoked!
BASTIAN KRULL:
He never tapped! What are you talking about!?CHAD GOMEZ:
Then he yelled i--BASTIAN KRULL:
I didn't hear any yelling from inside the ring either!Hammerstein makes his way up the aisle, holding his leg in pain as Chrenshaw steams inside the ring.

The commercial break ends and Becky Chande stands outside a door that reads "HAMMERSTEIN". BECKY CHANDE:
Here outside of Hammerstein's dressing room, I'm hoping to get a few words...Chande knocks a few times, opening the door up as a result. She shrugs and brings the cameraman inside. BECKY CHANDE:
Ha-OH MY GOD!Chande runs back to the door completely red faced as Hammerstein walks into frame, a newspaper is all that is covering his person. HAMMERSTEIN:
Whoa! Geez! C'mon!Chande covers her eyes as she turns to him, trying to explain herself. BECKY CHANDE:
They sent us back here for an interview. Your door was ope-I'm sorry!HAMMERSTEIN:
Don't be sorry! I get interview time!? That's awesome! FREAKIN' AWESOME! I went da distance with freakin' Ben Chrenshaw, da big bad Iron Champion... and I feel like Rocky freakin' Balboa, baby! ADRIAN!Hammerstein raises his hands and begins shadow boxing while humming Eye of the Tiger. This of course allows the newspaper that was covering him to drop to the floor just as Chande uncovers her eyes. She gasps again and turns away. HAMMERSTEIN:
Aww, geez!Hammerstein grabs the newspaper and wraps it around himself again, the cameraman notions to Chande that he's good and she turns back around, keeping her eyes fixated on the camera. BECKY CHANDE:
So, you went to a draw... what's next for Hammerstein?
HAMMERSTEIN:
I'mma probably go to cater--
BECKY CHANDE:
I meant, in the ring...HAMMERSTEIN:
OH! Yeah, right... um... well, I sent Benny ol' Chrenny a bucket of that golden, delicious Pollo Bucket and a couple sodas 'cause I think he's disappointed and I know whenever I'm down, Pollo Bucket and sodas raise my spirits! On da real though, I s'pose I want a shot at his belt. I got a shot with it, I want a shot at it! I made like Rocky tonight, I went da distance but next time, I'mma be Rocky two and I'mma whoop dat fruit booty and take dat title! YOWZA!As you might expect, the newspaper drops again as he begins shadow boxing. Chande starts laughing and heads out of the room.
BECKY CHANDE:
We'll send back to you guys at ringside.Chande lowers her head and walks out of the dressing room, holding the door open for the cameraman. She leans it to grab the handle and close it up and we see Hammerstein is still shadow boxing in the buff. She chuckles and walks off after closing the door.
10/20 - Chicago, Illinois
Pride Title Match:
Kenshin Takamura & Matt Pulver defend vs. Julian Cutlass & Alexander Irvine
Sarah Starr vs. Jan van der Roost
Iron Road - Match #4:
AJ Knight vs. Johnny Ajax
Iron Road - Match #3:
Daniel Hawkins vs. James Edwards
Kris Slade vs. Blake Mitchell
Ben Chrenshaw in showcase action!
We head backstage with Becky Chande who is standing between Alexander Irvine and Julian Cutlass. Both are clad in their wrestling gear – Irvine wears a leather robe with a fur hood and Cutlass a blue robe, both men have their robes open so that the fans can see the "#BanAlexanderIrvine" and “JULIAN CUTLASS F$#!ing T-Shirt” upon their torsos. But most importantly the King of Lions title around Cutlass' waist. BECKY CHANDE:
I’m standing here with Black Lion’s Road and they are getting ready for their upcoming match. Thanks for making time. [she turns to Irvine.] Alexander Irvine, the words have been flying between yourself and Matt Pulver. ALEXANDER IRVINE:
If I've said it once, it seems like I've said it a thousand times. I respect Pulver, but he allows himself to be held back by all the obstacles he puts in front of himself. But if he chooses to allow himself to be hidden under the shadow of Kenshin's legacy. Then I'll drag him into the light by his boot straps and lock him into a Maelstrom this world has never seen.He takes a moment to inhale deeply, a smirk creeping across his face until it transforms into a wolfish grin. ALEXANDER IRVINE:
I promise both Matty boy and the Black Lion's Road fans this however. Next time we meet The Streak in the ring. Not only will a strip those bastards of the Pride Championships. But I will destroy the one thing that holds back "The Little Wrestling Machine That Chokes" most, and then we will all see what that boy is made of.She turns to Julian Cutlass who ducks his head to listen to her words and be closer to the microphone.
BECKY CHANDE:
All right, champ, you two fight for the Pride titles one week from tonight. What are you thinking going into that match?Cutlass gives her a perplexed glance and thinks for a moment.
JULIAN CUTLASS:
I’m thinking about tonight’s match first. And I’ll think about the next match afterwards.
BECKY CHANDE:
Fair enough, but given the recent tension between your teammate and Matt Pulver, do you have any thoughts on the Streak?
JULIAN CUTLASS:
No. Cutlass looks at Becky with a flat expression that does not betray his neutral gaze. It’s like he is the coach of the fucking New England Patriots or something.
BECKY CHANDE:
No thoughts at all..?JULIAN CUTLASS:
We’re gonna concentrate on winning our match this week. Cutlass walks off the set and Irvine is quick in tow with a smirk on his face. Becky cocks her head to the side and the camera zooms in on her.
BECKY CHANDE:
The one thing you can say about these two men is that they are laser-focused on taking out whoever stands in front of them. Back to you, guys. |

Again, for the sake of getting things up on Thursday and not Friday, let's recap the match between Black Lion's Road and the Ninjas. Irvine and Cutlass came out and Sarah Starr had a section of fans paid off to protest his being there, I guess as #BANALEXANDERIRVINE signs were promiment but so were #BLACKLIONSMATTER and those two groups didn't have too many nice things to say about each other. BLR got off to a rough start as Irvine was toying his his detractors in the audience and the Ninjas kept using quick tags to keep themselves on the offense, Cutlass got tagged in but after only a minute or two, the Ninjas threw him out of the ring to get Irvine back inside to try and continue their beat down. Irvine managed to duck a double flying clothesline attempt and laid waste to the Ninjas with a double Battle Cry, he ditched one of them and tagged in Cutlass and together they took care of the remaining Ninja, sending him to the Dead Zone - their knee trembler/cloverleaf combination to secure the victory. Irvine ripped up one of the #BANALEXANDERIRVINE signs on his way out.

Becky Chande, the busiest person in Lion's Road tonight is storming up the hallway with the cameraman struggling to keep up.
BECKY CHANDE:
Back here?
CAMERAMAN:
Yea--ah, back here.
The cameraman is clearly struggling to catch his breath.
CAMERAMAN:
You're gonna kill this fat man.
Becky chuckles.
BECKY CHANDE:
Sorry, but he's on next. We gotta be quick!
A figure soon comes into focus. He's dressed in a worn leather jacket and long black tights with royal blue trim, James Edwards has his back against a Pepsi machine.
BECKY CHANDE:
Deliberate product placement, Mr. Edwards?
Edwards arches an eyebrow and shakes his head in the negative.
BECKY CHANDE:
Ah, I see. More of a Coke guy?
Edwards stares at her like she just farted.
BECKY CHANDE:
Okay, I’ll be serious. Have a few minutes?
JAMES EDWARDS:
Yeah, walk with me.
Off camera Chuck groans as James and Becky take off in the direction of the ring. Poor Chuck is forced to backpedal while they talk.
BECKY CHANDE:
In a matter of moments you make your Lion’s Road debut. Nervous?
JAMES EDWARDS:
Nah, I’ve done this before.
BECKY CHANDE:
What do you think of the Iron Road so far?
JAMES EDWARDS:
Haven’t had the time to watch it.
BECKY CHANDE:
Do you think that puts you at disadvantage?
Edwards scowls.
JAMES EDWARDS:
Hell no. I take things one fight at a time.
BECKY CHANDE:
What about your opponent Johnny Ajax. have you watched any tape of him?
JAMES EDWARDS:
Yeah.
BECKY CHANDE:
Any thoughts on him?
JAMES EDWARDS:
He’s just another guy.
BECKY CHANDE:
Well, you expressed some rather strong opinions on ‘just another guy’ earlier this week. Care to elaborate?
JAMES EDWARDS:
All I told em’ was to live in the moment or I’d knock his ass out. That’s pretty common for me.
BECKY CHANDE:
One last question, James, you come to Lion’s Road after a tumultuous stay in Texas. Your critics say that you’re another overhyped acquisition, what do you have to say to them?
Edwards stops dead in his tracks and bites his lip. He wasn’t anticipating a question like this.
JAMES EDWARDS:
Let em’ talk. I know I shit the bed in CWT. That’s why I came into Lion’s Road like a lamb. I haven’t earned any hype yet. I’m here to work, end of story. Whatever I get is gonna be by the fruit of my own fists and feet.
Becky nods and turns to face the camera. Edwards pulls the hood up on his jacket and walks out of the picture.
BECKY CHANDE:
Well, that was James Edwards...

The graphic comes off the screen and Johnny Ajax is standing inside the ring. JAKE AARONS:
This match is one fall to a finish with a ten minute time limit and is apart of the Iron Road Series! Introducing first from Portland, Oregon! He weighs in at one hundred and eighty pounds... JOHNNY AJAX!Ajax raises his arms.
JAKE AARONS:
His opponent from Lexington, Kentucky! He weighs in at two hundred and four pounds! JAMES EDWARDS!Mastadon's "Once More 'Round the Sun" begins and James Edwards bursts out of the lion's mouth, power walking down the aisle. He takes a lap around the ring as the fans cheer his arrival, he slides under the ropes and does four quick martial arts bows before settling into his appointed corner.
JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Brian Shelzi!The bell sounds and the two men approach the centre... instead of a traditional lock-up, they begin with a knuckle lock that quickly turns into a clinch battle for over hooks and under hooks. Edwards manages to get behind Ajax with a rear waist lock applied, Ajax tries to drop down and isolate an arm but Edwards hoists him back onto his feet and then plants him flat on the mat, face first. Edwards takes back mount and briefly wrenches back on Ajax's head before transitioning into a side headlock. Ajax fights his way up to his feet and backs into the ropes, he tries to shoot Edwards off but Edwards remains firm with the headlock clamped on tightly. Shelzi asks Ajax if he'd like to quit and he says yes. Just kidding. Ajax responds by shooting Edwards off, but Burning Heart turns around and simply reapplies the hold! Ajax voices his frustration with some colourful language and Edwards makes things worse for him by taking him down to the mat. Ajax though gets his legs wrapped around Edwards' head with some headscissors and forces himself free of the hold while keeping his applied, Edwards rotates his body around so that he's lined up with him. He plants both forearms on Ajax's shins to break open his guard, then lunges forward... planting his knees on Ajax's ankles to keep him in place. Ajax tries to wrestle free of this, but Edwards slaps him! The fans ooh as Ajax gets slapped again! Ajax responds with a slap back, so Edwards delivers another!
BASTIAN KRULL:
These two Iron warriors are trading slaps in open guard! My God!Edwards grabs Ajax's arm as he tries to slap him and rears back... DOUBLE TAP! Consecutive backfists to Ajax's skull and the Oregon native has nowhere to go! Edwards pops up to a standing position as Ajax falls back to the mat in pain. Ajax slowly sits back u--VIOLENT GOSPEL! The PENALTY KICK! Edwards drops down and covers! 1... ... 2... ... 3!
CHAD GOMEZ:
Ow...
BASTIAN KRULL:
If Johnny Ajax wasn't seeing stars after those backfists, he certainly was following that kick! Edwards gets up and has his arm raised by Shelzi before doing his bows and exiting. Stage hands climb in and attend to Johnny Ajax, who looks like he could be out for the night.

MANDEVILLE NELSON:
Before we go to our next match, there's some kind of situation backstage...
The feed cuts back on cue and chairs and things are being sent flying and slamming against the walls. As the camera walks into the room, a full can of soda whizzes by followed immediately by a Pollo bucket of chicken and what could only be the table that each of those two items were sitting on.
BECKY CHANDE:
Let's go...
Chande leads the cameraman inside and then stops dead in her tracks upon seeing the Crippler, Ben Chrenshaw. Normally he looks like a predator ready to pounce, but in this particular instance he is an animal primed for the kill. Nothingness behind his eyes, a machine built to destroy whatever gets in its way. Chande gulps, but proceeds.
BECKY CHANDE:
Ben? Can I get a word?
Chrenshaw tilts his head to the side, turning around as if he'd heard the sounds but not the words. Chrenshaw stood straight up and walked up to her, a look that would intimidate most men. Chande doesn't look thrilled about this encounter, but she isn't backing down either.
BECKY CHANDE:
Tonight, Hammerstein shocked a lot of people by going to a dra--
Chrenshaw slaps the microphone out of her hands, shaking at the mere mention of the situation.
CAMERAMAN:
Don't touch her, Ben...
Chrenshaw lunges toward her, his hand driving for her neck. She back pedals and hits the wall, Chrenshaw's hand landing next to her head. Chrenshaw runs his fingertips down the wall, inches from her face. He leans in...
BEN CHRENSHAW:
Don't assume everything is so black and white.
Chrenshaw springs off the wall and backs up, his eyes still stone cold as he stares Becky down.
BEN CHRENSHAW:
This isn't even close to the end of myself and Hammerstein inside the ring.
Ben turns around, grabs the Iron Championship from the only chair not thrown across the room and makes his exit, but not before stopping to glance back at Becky one last time.
JAKE AARONS:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is your main event! One fall to a finish with television time remaining and it is for the Heritage Championship! Introducing first the challenger from Brooklyn, New York! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty pounds... MARK STORM!
DARKNESS COATS US!
JAKE AARONS:
His opponent from Duluth, Minnesota! He weighs in at two hundred and ten pounds! The current, reigning and defending Heritage Champion... COREY CRUELTY!
The lights dim and lightning effects dart across the venue as the blast beats and jagged vocals of Avenged Sevenfold's "Darkness Surrounding" echo through the venue. After a moment or two, the heavy part of the song kicks in and a sombre figure emerges wearing a longer duster jacket with his head bowed low. Corey Cruelty poses in the lion's mouth, arms forming an X over his crotch. Kassie Dark steps out from behind him and the two slowly make their way down to the ring.
JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Cordell Garner!
Dark takes her place at ringside and Cruelty hands her his jacket, climbs into the ring and unfastens his title. Aarons takes it and exits, leaving Storm and Cruelty standing across from each other with Garner in the middle. The two men meet in the centre and trade some words as the tension grows more and more dense, Garner backs them up into their respective corners and calls for the bell. The two come right back out into the middle and Cruelty kicks him in the gut! OBLI-NO! Storm backdrops him. Storm smiles as Cruelty gets back up to his feet, the challenger applauds the champion's attempt but tells him it'll be harder than that!
BASTIAN KRULL:
Mind games early on in this match, Corey Cruelty knows that the Oblivion means it's over. No one's kicked out of it and I sincerely doubt than anyone will. For anyone who sits at home and asks why don't wrestlers hit their best moves first, you saw why... Mark Storm knew what to expect. You do a variety of moves to wear your opponents down, take them off their game and take their mind elsewhere. Then you strike.
The two men lock-up with Storm throwing Cruelty back into the corner. Cruelty gets up and marches right back into the centre of the squared circle, the two men circling around just eyeing each other... Storm and Cruelty lock up again and Storm tries to push Cruelty back into the corner again, but Cruelty hangs on and Storm falls flat on his face. Cruelty smiles as he looks down at Storm and tells him to get up. Storm does so and the two men lock-up once more, a quick go behind from Mark Storm gives him a hammerlock on Cruelty but the champion reverses it into one of his own. Storm tries to reach back and grab a snapmare, but is unable to do so and lunges to the ropes instead to break the hold. The two meet back in the centre again and the champion applies a standing side headlock on his challenger, Storm backs him into the ropes and goes to shoot him off but Cruelty reverses it and sends him in instead! Cruelty drops down and Storm leaps over him, Storm hits the ropes again and the champion leapfrogs him! Storm bounces off the ropes a third tim-LARIAT! Storm goes down and exits the ring.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Smart veteran move. Same idea we saw with Chrenshaw and Hammerstein earlier tonight, Cruelty is at his best when he can string moves together and Storm doesn't want to fall victim to that if he wants to walk out of Grand Rapids as the Heritage Champion.
Storm slides back in and locks up again, he backs Cruelty into the corner and drives his shoulder into the gut before popping with a quick forearm to the face. With the champion stunned, the challenger whips him across the ring... sternum first into the turnbuckles! Storm keeps the attack on, stomping on him a few times before pulling him up and sending him into the corner again! Cruelty hits the turnbuckle hard with his back and Storm charges in! NO ONE HOME! Cruelty moves out of the way and Storm staggers out... FACEBUSTER! The champion jumps to his feet and tries to knee drop Storm, but the challenger rolls out of the ring again. Cruelty tries to go out after him, but Garner gets in between. Storm uses the distraction to grab the champion's foot and pull him out to the floor! He clocks him with a forearm, then drives a knee into his midsection! He goes to ram Cruelty's head into the guardrail, but the champion sends him flying into it! He grabs Storm and throws him back in the ring!
BASTIAN KRULL:
A lot of determination in the champion's eyes because he wants to beat Mark Storm in the ring.
Storm gets up and jumps on Cruelty as he's getting back into the ring, clubbing him with forearms to the back. Cruelty fights to his feet through these blows and drives a knee into Storm's midsection, then flapjacks him onto the top rope! Storm crashes to the mat and Cruelty signals for the Yakuza kick... he charges in, but Storm rolls out of the way. He leaps onto the second rope... flies back... STORM SEARCH! He nails the springboard cutter this time! Cruelty wisely rolls out of the ring, Mark Storm gets up, still catching his breath after being dropped across the top rope. He gets out of the ring and pulls Cruelty up to his feet, throws him into the ring and follows him in. Cruelty crawls away, but Storm pulls him up... hoists him onto his shoulders... DYS-Cruelty slips out! Kick to the gut! OBLIVION! HE NAILED IT! Cruelty falls back to the mat as Storm drops down himself. The fans are going crazy and Kassie Dark is slamming the mat, trying to will him on. Cruelty lifts his arm up and rolls over... covering Storm!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
Kassie Dark leaps into the air and runs to grab the title as the fans go equally nuts! She slides into the ring and helps Corey to his feet, handing him his belt and the two exchange a hug.
CHAD GOMEZ:
Once again, Bas... Oblivion means it's over. There was a good 20-30 seconds before he could swing his arm over to make the cover and that still didn't matter. We might have to get that thing banned!
Stage hands check on Storm as Cruelty and Dark make their exit as the show closes.
