CROSS ROADS 2012
June 17th, 2012
‘Miseria Cantare (The Beginning)’ by AFI begins to play.
The lights slowly fade out and with every drum beat the lights flash, lighting
up the darkened arena for a brief few seconds before fading out once more. The
crowd looks up at the ramp, virtually silent, waiting for what is about to
come.
After the first set of drum beats a chant begins in the song, the lights
continue to flash on and off to every drum, lighting the arena with each drum
beat.
‘Love…..your hate…..your…..faith lost…..’
‘You…..are now…..one…..of us…..’
‘Love…..your hate…..your…..faith lost…..’
‘You…..are now…..one…..of us…..’
Once the chants stop the song slowly transitions into ‘The Antidote’ by Story
Of The Year and the crowd comes to the realization who is making their
entrance, it is none other than the World Champion, ‘The Lost Legend’ Dean
James.
Cristy Madison: From Victoria, Australia, weighing two hundred and thirty
pounds, he is the current reigning World Champion, DEAN JAMES!
Some fans jeer for the heel that is Dean James whereas others cheer for the
legendary wrestling figure that is Dean James. Smoke begins to billow from the
entrance curtains, as usual, and from behind the entrance curtains comes 'The
Lost Legend' Dean James through the smoke. Dean James sticks his arms out,
eagle winged, out to the side and tilts his head back and soaks in the crowd's
reaction to him, he then brings his arms forward and crosses them over each
other before walking down to the ring.
Dean James walks slowly and pompously down the ramp. Several fans on either
side attempt to slap the hand of Dean James or pat him on the shoulder and grab
his attention, however Dean James will have none of it, he merely ignores them
as he continues to walk down the entrance ramp.
Dean James slides the World Championship into the ring and then slides himself
in after it. He grabs the World Championship and stands up in the middle of the
ring.
‘Tonight is the night, tonight is the night that I step into the ring to face
off against one of my greatest challengers as World Champion. Tonight I step
into the ring with a friend, a student of mine, a brother in arms and tonight,
well, tonight I need to put that friend in his place’
‘Tonight I am going to have to beat said friend within an inch of his life to
ensure I walk out still World Champion, I know he wouldn’t lose to anything
less. He is a warrior, a fighter, a man with a mission to become the best he
can be in this crazy profession we will strive to thrive in. He is determined
to become World Champion and stand on top as the absolute best and he will
bring absolutely everything to ensure that he can achieve his dreams of
becoming World Champion’
‘I have an absolute fight on my hands tonight, I know that it isn’t going to be
any easy road to a successful title defence, but I wouldn’t expect anything
less. Tonight is going to be a fire fight and Richard Garcia, it will be your
flame that I extinguish’
With that Dean James drops the microphone and steps out of the ring to a mixed
reaction from the crowd.
Matt Ross: So right off the bat Dean James comes out, states his claim and
leaves
James Hughes: Dean James is determined tonight, and he better be, he is in for
one hell of a fight against one hell of a determined challenger in Richard Garcia
ENTRANCES FOR MATCH
UWF Sweethearts Championship
Michell Stephen vs. Velvet Night
The two stare each other down in the ring before locking up.
James Hughes: So here we go with Michell Stephen/Velvet Night 9000
Matt Ross: Despite how many times they have squared off against each other,
every match they have had with one another has been pure gold
James Hughes: But…..IT’S OVER 9000!
Velvet Night shoves Michell Stephen down to the mat before laughing her
trademark, sinister, maniacal laugh in the direction of the fallen Michell
Stephen.
Michell Stephen does not take too kindly to this and charges at Velvet Night,
catching her off guard and spearing her right down to the mat before mounting
her and delivering a barrage of strikes to the face of Velvet Night as Velvet
Night puts her hands up in defense.
Matt Ross: Michell Stephen has started this a sweetheart possessed
James Hughes: She has to, she is in the ring with one of the most dangerous
women around
Michell Stephen rolls off of Velvet Night before laying in several stomps to
Velvet Night before dropping down to her knees, wrapping her hands around
Velvet Night’s neck and choking the life out of her.
Matt Ross: Oh WOW!
James Hughes: Michell Stephen needs to break this, it’s an illegal manoeuvre
Knowing this, the referee demands that Michell Stephen remove her hands from
Velvet Night’s neck, in which she does, knowing her job had been done. Michell
Stephen goes for the cover.
Matt Ross: 1…2…NO! Velvet Night kicks out just after the two count
Michell Stephen lifts Velvet Night to her feet straight away but Velvet Night
shoves her away in order to catch a little breather but Michell Stephen charges
at Velvet Night and goes for a clothesline. In a last ditched effort, Velvet
Night goes for a quick clothesline of her own, both sweethearts connect with
one another and both fall to the mat.
James Hughes: Stalemate
Both women begin to crawl towards one another before getting up onto their
hands and knees. As both women approach one another they throw punches at one
another, trying to knock the other out. As the strikes begin hitting the two
slowly get to their feet, using each other as support as they continue to throw
blind punches at one another. Both women now stand in the middle of the ring,
throwing wild punches at each other and hoping for the best.
James Hughes: This has turned into a punch out
Matt Ross: The Sweethearts title is on the line and both women are doing
everything they can do ensure they walk out with the strap
The strikes begin to take effect, Michell Stephen throws a punch at Velvet
Night and connects, Velvet Night stumbles back a little, a little punch drunk.
Velvet Night throws a punch at Michell Stephen and connects, Michell Stephen
stumbles back a little, also a little punch drunk. The two continue trading
blows, hoping the other will drop first. Knowing this will likely go on for a
while, Velvet Night darts in and rakes Michell Stephen’s eyes to the
disapproval from the audience.
Matt Ross: Oh, come on!
James Hughes: Anything to walk out victorious, Matt. This is for the
Sweethearts title after all
The referee warns Velvet Night about the eye rake but allows for the match to
continue. Velvet Night charges by the referee and charges at Michell Stephen,
taking her down with a clothesline. Velvet Night bounces off of the opposite
ropes and charges back at Michell Stephen, taking her down with another
clothesline. Velvet Night spins around as Michell Stephen gets to her feet and
takes Michell Stephen straight back down with a Body Slam, and another. Velvet
Night delivers a third and hooks the leg for the cover.
James Hughes: 1…2…NO! Michell Stephen kicks out
Matt Ross: Not quite
Velvet Night lifts Michell Stephen to her feet and charges Michell Stephen into
the corner of the ring before driving her should into the abdomen of Michell
Stephen several times. With every ounce of effort Michell Stephen shoves Velvet
Night out of the corner of the ring. Velvet Night charges into the corner of
the ring at Michell Stephen but Michell Stephen lifts her legs up into the air,
wraps them around the head of Velvet Night and connects with a spinning
Hurracanrana to Velvet Night, sending Velvet Night flying out of the corner of
the ring and out of her own boots.
James Hughes: Impressive Hurracanrana from Michell Stephen
Matt Ross: Tremendous athleticism also
Michell Stephen charges at Velvet Night, doing a handstand and grabbing a hold
of Velvet Night around the neck before lifting herself up onto Velvet Night’s
shoulders.
James Hughes: Damn, that takes a lot of strength to do that
Michell Stephen goes to deliver another Hurracanrana to Velvet Night but Velvet
Night won’t budge. Velvet Night lifts Michell Stephen back up and into a
Powerbomb position, however Michell Stephen slips off of Velvet Night’s
shoulders and as soon as her feet touch the mat she charges towards the ropes.
Michell Stephen bounces off of the ropes as Velvet Night turns around and
charges at Velvet Night and connects with the Am-BOOT-tate (Big Boot).
James Hughes: Michell Stephen connects with that big boot kick that she likes
to call Am-BOOT-tate
Matt Ross: She could have it right here
Michell Stephen goes for the cover.
Matt Ross: 1…2…3! NO! Velvet Night kicks out
James Hughes: No way!
Matt Ross: Velvet Night just kicked out of the Am-BOOT-tate
Michell Stephen gets to her feet, a little taken aback that she didn’t get the
pinfall after connecting with her finishing kick. She stands in the ring with
her hands on her hips, staring down at Velvet Night, clearly a little stunned.
James Hughes: Don’t stop Michell, get on her. You have other moves in your
arsenal to put her down and out with
Michell Stephen looks down at the legs of Velvet Night and pounces on them like
a lion pouncing on its prey. Michell Stephen attempts to lock in the Malicious
Mighty Hold (Cloverleaf) but Velvet Night kicks her away. Michell Stephen
stumbles into the ropes and then charges forward before Velvet Night grabs her
by the head and rolls her up for a Small Package pinfall.
James Hughes: 1…2…NO!
Matt Ross: So close
Velvet Night springs to her feet and lifts Michell Stephen to her feet but
Michell Stephen shoves Velvet Night away. Michell Stephen backs into the ropes,
bounces off of the ropes and charges towards Velvet Night. Velvet Night ducks
under Michell Stephen but Michell Stephen jumps over Velvet Night to continue
her momentum. As Michell Stephen does this Velvet Night stands tall, shoves
Michell Stephen upwards into the air and connects with a European Uppercut to
the jaw of Michell Stephen.
Matt Ross: Did you see Michell Stephen’s neck snap back from that?
James Hughes: It looked gruesome
Michell Stephen falls to the mat below but as she does Velvet Night grabs
Michell Stephen around the neck, lifts Michell Stephen up and connects with the
Velvet Storm (Jumping Brainbuster DDT).
James Hughes: Velvet Night connects with the Velvet Storm
Velvet Night covers Michell Stephen.
Matt Ross: There is the cover
James Hughes: 1…2…3! Velvet does it. Velvet defeats Michell Stephen and becomes
Sweethearts Champion for a fourth time
Cristy Madison: Here is your winner and NEW Sweethearts Champion, Velvet Night!
‘Divinity’ by Amorphis hits as Velvet Night is handed the Sweethearts
Championship by the referee to a chorus of jeers from the crowd.
James Hughes: After a long, hard journey back to the top Velvet Night has
finally reclaimed the Sweethearts Champion by knocking off arguably her
toughest foe ever in Michell Stephen
Matt Ross: Michell Stephen has beaten Velvet Night countless times in the past
to retain the Sweethearts Championship by tonight simply wasn’t her night,
Velvet Night got the best of her tonight and walks out as the new Sweethearts
Champion
Velvet Night clutches the Sweethearts Championship to her chest as she is kneeled
in the centre of the ring. The General Manager and manager of the Church Of
Lucifer, Reverend Wormwood, slides into the ring and holds up Velvet Night’s
hand in victory.
Matt Ross: And here is that snake, Reverend Wormwood. Right on time
The scene fades to black as Velvet Night stares at the camera with her cold,
dark eyes as she yells ‘I told you I could do it!’ over and over again.
The camera cuts backstage
to the hallway leading to the locker rooms of the UWF superstars. The camera
focuses in on one particular door of what appears to be a private dressing
room. Where one would normally hang a sign with the wrestler’s name on it, the
camera shows an image of a single thumbtack, stood up on its’ pin against a
black background.
The camera cuts back inside the arena.
James Hughes: Well… Um… What was that about?
Matt Ross: Maybe a special guest?
James Hughes: The hell’s up with the pin thing?
Matt Ross: Do I look like a person in the know? Geez…
The scene opens up backstage at the stairs leading to the entrance ramp where
we see backstage interviewer Traci Martinez standing and waiting. Suddenly
Velvet Night comes through the entrance curtain with Reverend Wormwood on her
tail and they both walk down the stairs. Velvet Night has a huge, sinister grin
on her face with her newly won Sweethearts Championship on her shoulder.
Traci Martinez: Velvet, Velvet
Velvet Night: What do you want?
Traci Martinez: Can I get a few words?
Velvet Night: Why not, I’m in a happy mood right now
Traci Martinez: And that’s exactly what I want to talk to you about. How does
it feel to be the Sweethearts Champion for the fourth time in your career
Velvet Night: I told you I could do it, I told you all I could do it and what
makes this victory even sweeter is I did it in front of Michel Stephen’s home
crowd of Detroit. I left her mortified in that ring, lying in a pool of defeat
in the middle of the ring as her home crowd simply look on, disappointed that
she was not victorious and that she lost her Sweethearts title in front of them
after such a lengthy reign. Oh it feels so good, Traci
Velvet Night taps Traci Martinez on the shoulder before walking away with
Reverend Wormwood hot on her tail.
Lucifer Creed – The Prisoner
‘The prisoner, sentenced to pay for their crimes amongst the concrete confines
of a four by four cell structure. No windows, just pure darkness and cage bars
imprisoning them inside their concrete confine like a caged animal, and that’s
what a lot of them end up transforming to become, animals. Lost all sight, lost
all speech, lost all hearing, living a life in hell.’
‘Here I sit, in a similar structure, in complete darkness with absolute no
escape. The walls feel as if they are closing in around me, but it does not
bother me. A prisoner sits in their cell contemplating escape plans, pondering
over a better time and remembering the ones they love. What makes me different
to a prisoner is I am not barred for a lifetime; I am here to serve twenty four
hours of hard time in order to prepare myself for the up-coming Monsters Ball
Match. Whereas a prisoner ponders over a better time, I sit here and ponder
over mutilation.’
‘The only thought that needs to run through my mind is what I will do to Jamie
O’Hara within the confines of the ring ropes when we both dance at the
Monster’s Ball. We are the closing act Jamie O’Hara; we are the final dance in
this little tango. You may want to remain silent but I, all I have done whilst
sitting in this prison is contemplate what I am going to do to you once I step
through those ring ropes in mere moments. Anything else is merely irrelevant.’
‘Jamie O’Hara, you’re in for a world of hurt. Come dance with me, Jamie.’
Jamie O’Hara – No Comment
The camera pans in on Jamie O’Hara but all Jamie O’Hara does is stare into
non-existence. Not a word is spoken, not a sound can be heard, no comment to be
made. Jamie O’Hara turns his head and simply stares in the direction of the
camera with cold, blood-shot, red eyes, clearly focused and ready for the
up-coming Monsters Ball.
ENTRANCES FOR MATCH
Monsters Ball Match
Lucifer Creed vs. Jamie O'Hara
Right after the referee is able to the ring the bell, O'Hara, charges straight
towards Creed and takes him down with a Thesz Press, viciously throwing
punches. Creed is able to roll over and begin throwing some punches of his own
to O'Hara. Through the chaos, O'Hara is able to get his hand up and gouge at
the eyes of Creed, efficiently getting him to move away from the fight. Creed
attempts to crawl away while O'Hara continues to follow him in hot pursuit.
Matt Ross: Usually that kind of offense would result in a disqualification, but
all is fair and legal in this Monster's Ball match.
James Hughes: O'Hara is pissed off and starved. This isn't going to be a
wrestling match. These guys are going to rip and claw at each other until the
other is unable to continue.
O'Hara is able to catch up with Creed, by placing some stiff kicks right to the
stomach. Creed continues to move towards the turnbuckle. He is able to make it,
and uses the ropes to stand up. Jamie is still moving towards him, but Creed is
clever enough to take down O'Hara with a quick drop toe hold, sending him face
first into the turnbuckle. O'Hara slowly rises to his feet, where Creed is
waiting for him to get up. Right as he stands up, O'Hara is met with a
debilitating clothesline, knocking him right back down. O'Hara gets up and is
promptly tossed around the ring. This only incites the anger of Jamie even more
as he gets up and runs straight at Creed, who floors him with a perfect black
hole slam. Creed immediately drops down and rolls out of the ring to rummage
underneath the apron.
Matt Ross: Ohhh, and here he goes looking for a weapon early on. It's all
legal, folks.
After a few moments, Creed peeks out with a steel chair in hand. Creed chuckles
to himself before tossing the chair aside and going to retrieve another weapon.
Matt Ross: Oh, come on! What is he doing?
James Hughes: Looks like the steel chair didn't tickle his fancy.
Soon after, Creed surfaces out from underneath the apron with a 2x4 covered in
barbed wire. Creed cracks a sadistic grin as he slowly slides into the ring as
O'Hara gets up.
Matt Ross: Oh no, no! Don't do this!
Creed continues to stalk his prey, priming the 2x4 in his hand. O'Hara gets up
and stumbles towards the corner. Creed lifts the 2x4 up over his head and
swings it straight down towards O'Hara, who sidesteps the dangerous blow just
in time. However, Creed continues his swing, hitting the top turnbuckle. The
barbwire digs in and sticks to the turnbuckle pad like velcro.
James Hughes: Woah, he got out of there just in time.
Matt Ross: That's putting it lightly.
Frustrated, Creed attempts to pry the barbed wire from the turnbuckle. Jamie
sees an opening and quickly hits a dropkick to the back of Creed, sending him
face first into the barbwire. Creed cries out in agony as his face rubs against
the barbed wire, sinking into his skin. He tries to pull his face away, but his
hair becomes entwined with the barbs. O'Hara quickly makes his way over to
Creed and begins to rub Creed's face into the barbed wire, and the cries of
pain grow louder. The fans go crazy as O'Hara maniacally nods as Creed's flesh
tears.
Matt Ross: O'Hara has completely lost it! No remorse shown by this man.
James Hughes: He's been driven to being a monster just like Lucifer Creed.
O'Hara finally stops his onslaught as he yanks Creed's face away from the
turnbuckle. Creed is bleeding all over his face, sputtering about and gasping
for air.
James Hughes: I have never seen Creed look so vulnerable before. I think Creed
and the Church of Lucifer have bitten more than they can chew.
Jamie continues on the hunt without hesitation, revenge and punishment on his
mind. Out of desperation, Creed quickly rakes the eyes of O'Hara to buy himself
some time. As O'Hara grabs his face, Creed wipes some of the blood out of his
eyes and regains his composure. Once Jamie recovers, he once again advances
towards Creed, only to be greeted with a kick to the gut. He gets picked up for
the Hangman's Noose and is beginning to be choked out as O'Hara kicks and
struggles for air. The only thing O'Hara manages to do is spit right in the
face of Creed, only angering him more. Creed tosses him hard down onto the mat.
However, this buys O'Hara enough time to recover.
James Hughes: What is O'Hara doing? Pissing off Lucifer Creed is definitely the
last thing you want to do in a match like this. This man is a complete psychopath,
with a temper to boot.
Creed advances towards O'Hara in order to pick him up, but O'Hara kicks him
right in the groin, doubling Creed over in pain. O'Hara is now able to get up
and hurriedly slide out of the ring to grab a weapon. He grabs the first thing
he sees, a kendo stick and goes back into the ring. O'Hara wastes no time in
cracking the stick right over the back of Lucifer Creed, almost immediately
leaving a welt on his back. Running off of pure vengeance and fury, O'Hara
doesn't relent on his attack, striking Creed mercilessly and rapidly with the
kendo stick. All of this has little to no effect on Creed, however, who begins
to get to his knees. Creed is enraged as he fumes at O'Hara, starting to rise
to his feet. O'Hara quickly drops the kendo stick and goes for a superkick, but
his leg is caught by Creed, who spins him around and straight into a brutal big
boot.
James Hughes: Ooh, and that Demonic Boot definitely changed the tide in this
match. Just when you think Creed is out of it, his superhuman like durability
comes into play. The guy is built like a tank!
O'Hara lies on the ground completely at Lucifer Creed's mercy. He lifts him up
and puts a very groggy Jamie O'Hara in a powerbomb position. Creed llifts him
high over his head and drapes him across his back. He then gets a running start
and throws O'Hara towards the outside with a devastating border toss while the
fans collectively gasp in shock.
Matt Ross: Oh my god! Creed threw Jamie O'Hara right to the outside, and I
think he's broken in half!
James Hughes: Can we get some medical personnel out here?
And with that, two paramedics rush down the ramp to go check on O'Hara, but
Creed stops them with a vicious double clothesline, effectively taking them
out. The camera cuts back to O'Hara, who is grimacing in extreme pain. A medic
run though the audience and jump the guardrail manage to make it to O'Hara and
ask him if he is alright. The camera manages to pick up their dialogue.
Medic: Are you alright, do you need to be taken out?
Jamie O'Hara: I-I'm... Alright... Lemme... F-f-finish...
Medic: Are you sure?
Jamie O'Hara: Yes, I'm s-s-sure! Lemme finish!
Soon after, Creed approaches the carnage and throws the medic over the
announcers table with ease and begins to peel O'Hara off of the ground. O'Hara
is barely able to stand, and crumples back down to the ground before Creed is
able to do anything. Creed gives up on trying to get Jamie to a vertical base
and goes under the ring and surfaces with a table, which he slides into the
ring. He also uses his strength to lift O'Hara up by the hair and roll him into
the ring with relative ease. Creed slides back into the ring and begins setting
up the table in the middle of it.
Matt Ross: Oh, why does he have to do this? Just pin him already, the man can't
even stand.
James Hughes: This isn't just a wrestling match. These guys have been locked
away without food, light, and water for a day. Add that to a very violent and
personal feud and you get a recipe for disaster.
Creed finishes setting up the table and lifts Jamie O'Hara to his feet. He once
again sets the prone O'Hara in a powerbomb position, lifting him up looking to
go for the crucifix powerbomb. However, Creed backs up towards the turnbuckle
and begins to scale it until he is on the second rope.
Matt Ross: Oh no... Don't do this...
Suddenly, O'Hara begins to fight back, squirming and kicking about. He is eventually
able to slip his way out and push Creed down from the turnbuckle while
positioning himself on it in a seated position. Creed charges right back at
O'Hara, but is hit with a hard kick to the head, that knocks Creed back onto
the table. O'Hara quickly capitalizes, getting to the top rope and leaping off
and hitting Creed with a spectacular elbow drop through the table.
James Hughes: Disaster Zone! He got it!
Matt Ross: This one is over, all he has to do is make the pin!
However, both men are down from the toll this match has taken on them. After
many seconds pass by, O'Hara slowly climbs towards Creed and drapes his arm
over him for the pin.
Matt Ross: This is it! One... Two... Th- NO! Creed is able to kick out at two
and 7/8's!
James Hughes: Man, that was close. I don't know how much either of these men
have in them.
O'Hara looks in absolute shock as Creed begins to stir. O'Hara uses the ropes
to pull himself up as Creed tries to get up. O'Hara wastes no time in whipping
Creed into the corner. Jamie uses all the strength he has to lift him to the
second rope in order to set up for the Bass Cannon Engage. However, it isn't
enough, as O'Hara's knees seem to buckle out of pure exhaustion as he drops
Creed harmlessly. Creed goes right after O'Hara, lifting him over his right
shoulder, and planting him head first onto the broken shards of the table.
Creed immediately goes for the pin.
James Hughes: Oooh, In Sorte Diaboli right onto the remnants of that table.
Matt Ross: And I think this is it. One... Two... Three! And that's it, folks.
"Gateways (Scapegoat Intro)" by Dimmu Borgir begins to play as Creed
gradually rises to his feet. The fans boo as his hand is raised by the referee.
Creed yanks his hand away from the ref and checks the ugly, fresh wound on his
forehead, before smearing the blood on his chest as if at some sort of satanic
ritual. Creed leaves the ring and limps towards the back triumphantly.
Matt Ross: We have just witnessed two men doing everything in their power to
maim one another here tonight. We saw a brutal side of Jamie O'Hara, but it
still wasn't enough to defeat Lucifer Creed.
James Hughes: You got that right. How are these two going to be able to compete
tonight? Both O'Hara and Creed are in the Brawl for it All later on, and Creed
has to defend the UWF Tag Titles with Venom later tonight.
Matt Ross: This match has taken so much out of both of these men. It will
literally be a miracle for either of these two to be in fighting shape.
The camera cuts back to the ring where Jamie O'Hara is being checked on by
medical personnel. After a few minutes of consultation, Jamie is able to stand
on his own and leave on his own accord to a standing ovation.
Matt Ross: True guts on display here by Jamie O'Hara. Incredible match by those
two men.
The camera cuts backstage
and we see the mysterious door from earlier, still with no signs of life and
just an ominous thumbtack image as the plaque.
Johnny O Bom and the rest of X-Treme World Order are seen walking by the door
on their way to catering. Ryan Matthews points the door out to Melissa Charles
and The Kid, nudging O Bom as they walk by. They all shake their heads in
disapproval.
James Hughes: What, are they disappointed they don’t have a thumbtack poster?
Matt Ross: I think it’s more to do with nobody knowing who’s behind that door…
James Hughes: Perhaps more importantly, why do they get their own door and not
me, or anyone else for that matter!
Matt Ross: Again… Do I look like I know the answers to these questions?
ENTRANCES FOR MATCH
UWF Tag Team Championship
Church Of Lucifer (Lucifer Creed and Venom) vs. Anthony Hawk and Jeff Turner
The bell rings as the two legal men, Anthony Hawk and Johnny Venom lock up.
Anthony Hawk gains the advantage by getting Venom. Turning and twisting the
arm, Hawk slams his free elbow down onto the arm of Venom. He goes for this
again, but is kicked in the gut before he does so, relinquishing his hold. The
two immediately lock up once more, but this time Venom gets the best of the
encounter by slipping right behind Hawk. He lifts Hawk up for a back suplex,
but Hawk is able to shift his weight and fall right onto Venom with a
crossbody. Without hesitation, Hawk hooks the leg for a pin.
Matt Ross: One, two, and a kick out. Hawk going for that early pin, possibly
trying to wear down Venom quickly or even surprise him with a quick pinfall.
Hawk grabs Venom and pulls him up to his feet. Venom hits a few forearms to the
chest of Anthony Hawk, but he responds with a couple stiff elbows to the jaw.
Suddenly, Hawk takes off running in the other direction, bounces off the rope
and comes barreling back towards Venom. Hawk goes for a clothesline, but it is
ducked, and Venom catches Hawk in a schoolboy pin.
Matt Ross: Ooh, quick pin. One, two, and no, a kick out.
As Hawk kicks out of the school boy, he manages to entrap the arm of Venom and
get him into an armbar. Wrenching the arm back, the referee asks if Venom wants
to give up, and he refuses. Venom is able to use his power and strength to pull
himself up, tossing Hawk aside. Venom shakes out his arm while visibly in pain,
and Hawk smells blood in the water. Hawk follows up with a jumping arm breaker.
The fans cheer as Hawk raises his arm triumphantly.
James Hughes: Boy, are these fans getting behind Anthony Hawk since his recent
change in attitude.
Matt Ross: Not to mention
Hawk wastes little time in going back on the attack by getting Venom in another
wrist lock, dragging him over towards Jeff Turner and tagging him in. Turner
goes up to the top rope while Hawk maintains the wrist lock. Jeff jumps off the
top rope and strikes the arm of Venom with a diving axe handle. Turner
continues to go right after that arm, wrenching it back before delivering a
couple shoulder tackles to the injured arm. Turner irish whips him across the
ring, and goes for a back body drop on the way back. He telegraphs it however,
and Venom is able to kick him in the face. Venom takes advantage of the
opportunity and hits a snap DDT on Turner using the non injured arm. Both men are
down while Venom takes time to rest the injured arm.
James Hughes: I think Venom has to tag in Lucifer Creed in here.
Matt Ross: But how much has been taken out of him already with that Monster's
Ball earlier tonight. That was a hellacious match for sure.
Venom makes the crawl to tag Creed in, and is eventually able to do so. Creed
storms into the ring and hits a body slam on Turner and drops a few elbows. He
stands up and glares into the crowd, stitches still fresh on his forehead.
James Hughes: I think Creed is making it very clear that he is still all
business despite his match earlier tonight.
Creed lifts Turner up and lifts him over his shoulder in a Oklahoma slam.
Turner is somehow able to wiggle his way down, landing right on his feet behind
Creed. Jeff hits a solid belly to back suplex on Creed and makes the pin.
Matt Ross: One, tw- kick out!
James Hughes: Barely even a two, this guy is nonhuman!
Turner still continues to go right after Creed, whipping him into the corner.
He runs right at Creed and hits a huge body splash in the corner, sending Creed
reeling all over the place. Turner suddenly runs at Creed and hits him with a
big boot and makes yet another pin.
Matt Ross: One two, and another kickout by Lucifer Creed.
James Hughes: These two are doing everything within their power to take down
the tag champs here tonight.
Matt Ross: Can you believe both the Heritage Champion and the No Limits
Champion holding the tag titles? These guys could definitely turn the UWF
upside down by picking up a victory here tonight.
James Hughes: That's easier said than done, Matt.
Turner hoists Creed to his feet. Creed suddenly comes alive again and raises a
knee into Turner's gut. Creed grasps Turner by the throat and elevates him high
into the air. Turner struggles about trying to escape the brutal choke hold,
but to no avail.
James Hughes: Is he fading? This isn't looking good for Jeff Turner.
The referee goes in to check on Turner to see if he is able to continue.
Turner's eyes begin to close as he the thrashing slowly comes to a halt. Just
as the referee goes to call for the bell, Turner's eyes shoot open as he swings
his hands and strikes Creed's shoulders repeatedly. Creed finally lets him down
and Turner wastes no time in hitting Creed with some hard headbutts to the
skull. Creed staggers around, a bit groggy and stumbles right into a hard
rolling elbow from Turner, knocking him down. Turner sees his opening and
rushes towards the turnbuckle and begins to climb it.
Matt Ross: Oh, what is he doing here?
James Hughes: I have no idea, but this is a huge gamble to be taking...
Once Turner makes it towards the top rope, he grins as the fans begin to go
wild. He leaps off of the top turnbuckle and does a shooting star press.
However, Creed moves out of the way just in time, and Turner's body bounces
right off of the canvas with a large thud.
James Hughes: Oooh! And he lost big on that one that time!
Creed slowly staggers up to a vertical base and begins to taunt Turner to get
up. Turner grabs his chest in excruciating pain and Creed lifts him up high in
the air and plants him down with a brutal Steiner Screwdriver. He makes the
pin.
Matt Ross: That's it. One... Two... And Hawk dives in just in time to break up
the pin, saving the match.
Creed menacingly towards Hawk, backing him into a corner. Just as it looks like
Creed is about to destroy him, Turner takes Creed with a quick backslide.
Matt Ross: This could be it, one, two, and a kickout at the last moment!
Both Creed and Turner are down from the toll taken on them. Turner is able to
get to his feet first, but Creed follows him shortly after. They both run
straight at each other and hit clotheslines at them at the same time,
incapacitating them both.
James Hughes: They both were thinking the same thing. Let's see if they both
can make the hot tags here.
Both men slowly crawl towards their respective partners to make their tags.
They both succeed, and Hawk and Venom run straight into the ring and go right
after each other. Hawk hits a few clotheslines, and whips Venom into the
corner. He sprints right after him, only to be met with a boot to the head,
sending him wobbling back. Venom doesn't hesitate by going right after Hawk and
setting up for the Jackhammer. However, Hawk manages to grab the injured arm of
Venom and yank on it, causing Venom to let go in pain. Hawk follows up by
setting Venom up for a cross armbreaker. But Venom is able to counter it by
sweeping Hawk's leg from underneath him with his free arm.
Matt Ross: Oh, he would have had him for sure if he locked in that armbar on
that injured arm.
James Hughes: No doubt about it. Hawk is a submission expert and knows exactly
what it takes to make someone tap out.
Meanwhile, on the outside, Lucifer Creed and Jeff Turner are still brawling. Trading
punches back and forth, they bring the fight closer and close to the announce
table. Creed is finally able to get the upper hand by throwing Turner right
into the steel steps. Creed grins wickedly as he goes for the tag belts at
ringside. He grabs one in each hand, hiding them subtly. He throws one of the
belts over the top rope to Venom, who just escaped the armbreaker. The referee
clearly sees the belt and goes to take it away from him. While the referee is
preoccupied with Venom off in another direction, Hawk turns his attention to
Creed at ringside. Peeking his body outside of the ropes to get at him, Creed
strikes Hawk out of nowhere with the other belt. The referee missed it as he
was taking away the foreign object from Venom, but Venom laughs knowing the
mission was accomplished. Hawk is sent reeling back towards the center of the
ring, where Venom is waiting on him to get him set in the Jackhammer. This
time, it connects, and Venom makes the pin.
Matt Ross: Dammit, not this way! One, two, three! Dammit, the Church of Lucifer
retain once more.
‘Dimmu Borgir’ by Dimmu Borgir begins to play as the fans boo. Creed and Venom
get the titles handed to them as they celebrate their victory. Jeff Turner
climbs in the ring to check on his partner as the Church of Lucifer exit the
ring,walking threateningly to the back.
James Hughes: Well, that's two down for Lucifer Creed. Let's see if he can
complete the trifecta here tonight and win the Brawl for it All Match.
Matt Ross: Just an unstoppable force. Not just Lucifer Creed, but the entire
Church of Lucifer. Who on this roster can defeat these guys?
The camera cuts backstage
again and once more we see the mysterious thumbtack door from earlier on in the
night.
Matt Ross: Ladies and Gentlemen it is my understanding that we have Traci
Martinez standing by with a special guest.
Traci Martinez: Thanks guys, that’s right, I’m standing out here in the locker
room area with our General Manager, Reverend Wormwood. Reverend, I’ve got to
ask… Do you know anything about this?
Traci points to the door.
Reverend Wormwood: I know that it’s a
door and it came with the building? Other than that I can’t help you, dear…
Traci Martinez: No.. Um, I mean, do you know who’s behind the door? Is it a
special guest? A surprise appearance? Corporate partners?
Reverend Wormwood: I didn’t realise this room was a part of the locker room
area. I’m not sure there’s anyone behind the door. Have you tried opening it,
dear? For all we know the janitor could be stuck back there…
Traci Martinez: Um.. No, actually, I don’t believe anyone’s tried.. Let me..
ungh..
Traci pushes the door handle and tries to open the door but it’s stiff, she
gives it a shove with her shoulder and just as it opens an inch or two, it’s
slammed back shut in her face.
Reverend Wormwood: Well… I guess whoever IS in there doesn’t want to be
disturbed….
Reverend Wormwood turns and walks away, with a seemingly knowing look on his
face.
Traci Martinez: Well guys, I guess we’re no further forward, other than we know
someone’s back there, and we know they’re rude! Something’s up and I’m gonna
keep asking people to find out what!
Matt Ross: Thanks Traci, we’ll check back in with you later!
James Hughes: Yeah, thanks for nothing you dumb bimbo… Sheesh.. Can’t even open
a door or ask questions. How DID she get her job here... No wait, scratch
that.. I already know.
Matt Ross: …..Anyway, moving on…
Suddenly a piece of graphic pops up on the screen.
“No Reflection”
Marilyn Manson
Born Villain
[flash=500, 400]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xYxn8ZU_Wc[/flash]
Matt Ross: We have to thank you bizarre and controversial Marilyn Manson for
the theme for Cross Roads titled No Reflection off of his new album titled Born
Villain
James Hughes: Thank you Mr. Manson
The bell rings.
Cristy Madison: Ladies and gentlemen, it is now time for the BRAWL FOR IT ALL
MATCH! Two wrestlers will start in the ring and every two minutes a new
competitor will enter the match. Elimination occurs when a competitor is thrown
over the top rope and both feet touch the floor. Other than that, there are no
rules and weapons are welcomed. This match will continue until all fifteen
competitors have entered the match and the last man standing will be declared
the winner and will earn a championship match at the grandest stage of them
all, THE ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN!
Matt Ross: I wonder who is coming out first, James
‘Better Off This Way’ by A Day To Remember hits as the crowd gets out of their
seats and cheers the clear fan favourite in Jamie O’Hara.
Matt Ross: It’s Jamie O’Hara, a former winner of the Brawl For It All in his
own rights
James Hughes: And the only man to win the Brawl For It All and successfully win
the World Championship at The Ultimate Showdown. He has an awful number though
as he is going to have to last the longest in this match to walk out victorious
Matt Ross: And it’s possible. Remember, last year Dean James went from number
one to number fifteen and won the entire match
Jamie O’Hara heads down the ramp as he slaps the hands of the fans and he then
slides into the ring and waits for the number two entrant.
‘Don’t Die Digging’ by The Graduate hits as Ryan Croy appears on stage to a
mixed reaction from the crowd.
Matt Ross: And our second entrant is the newcomer in Ryan Croy
James Hughes: Awful spot also, especially considering this is his first Brawl
For It All Match and he is still relatively new to the UWF
Matt Ross: We’ll see how he goes
Ryan Croy slides into the ring and the match gets underway.
Brawl For It All Match
Jeff Turner vs. Anthony Hawk vs. Michael Knight vs. Venom vs. CF Schulze vs.
Johnny O Bom vs. Lucifer Creed vs. Ryan
Croy vs. Jamie O'Hara vs. Rick
O'Shea vs. Ashten Cross vs. Joey McArthur vs. Mystery Entrant vs. Mystery
Entrant vs. Mystery Entrant
Matt Ross: So we are going to kick this match off with Jamie O’Hara and Ryan
Croy
James Hughes: Jamie O’Hara landed with terrible luck tonight having being given
the unfortunate number one entry
Matt Ross: However, Jamie O’Hara knows what it takes to win the Brawl For It
All Match, he has won one of them before
James Hughes: And let’s not forget that Dean James won the Brawl For It All
last year from the number one spot, so it IS possible
Both Jamie O’Hara and Ryan Croy lock up in the centre of the ring as the crowd
cheers for the start of the Brawl For It All contest.
James Hughes: We are under way with this bad boy, I can’t wait!
Jamie O’Hara backs Ryan Croy into the ropes before whipping him over to the
opposite ropes. Ryan Croy bounces off of the opposite ropes before charging
back towards Jamie O’Hara who grabs Ryan Croy behind the head and charges Ryan
Croy towards the ropes, looking to throw him over the top. Ryan Croy stops just
short of the ropes, elbows Jamie O’Hara in the gut and then follows by connecting
with a Springboard Cross Body on Jamie O’Hara.
James Hughes: Risky move using the ropes, Ryan Croy left himself completely
vulnerable for elimination
Ryan Croy rolls straight off of Jamie O’Hara and charges towards the ropes, he
bounces off of the ropes and charges back towards Jamie O’Hara before
connecting with a Running Knee direct to Jamie O’Hara’s forehead.
James Hughes: Oh! That knee connected viciously with the forehead of Jamie
O’Hara
Matt Ross: Jamie O’Hara is going to have a splitting headache after that one
Ryan Croy lifts Jamie O’Hara to his feet and goes to whip Jamie O’Hara but
Jamie O’Hara stops dead in his tracks, delivers a stiff elbow to Ryan Croy’s
head before driving his shoulder into the abdomen of Ryan Croy and charging
Ryan Croy into the corner of the ring, driving Ryan Croy’s spine hard into the
turnbuckle pads.
Matt Ross: Both men are near the ropes
Jamie O’Hara delivers a few stiff shots to the forehead of Ryan Croy before
grabbing Ryan Croy by the leg and attempting to lift him up and over the top
rope.
James Hughes: We have our first elimination attempt
Jamie O’Hara lifts with all his might but Ryan Croy hugs onto the top rope,
trying anything to ensure he isn’t eliminated from the Brawl For It All Match.
Seeing this, Jamie O’Hara lets go of the leg of Ryan Croy and begins pounding
away at the back of Ryan Croy with a double axe handle before grabbing the leg
of Ryan Croy and attempting to eliminate Ryan Croy again.
James Hughes: Smart move from Jamie O’Hara, rather than wasting energy trying
to eliminate a man who is clearly not going over the top rope he decides to
abandon the elimination attempt, beat away at Ryan Croy a little and soften him
up before once again attempting the elimination
10……….
Matt Ross: Oh, our next entrant is only ten seconds away
9……….
James Hughes: I can’t wait to find out who it is
8……….
James Hughes: Whoever it is has also picked up a bad number…
7……….
James Hughes: …but is walking into a match with two guys that have been
battling for two minutes non-stop as the rested man…
6……….
James Hughes: A grand opportunity awaits the next entrant
5……….
Jamie O’Hara drives his foot into the abdomen of Ryan Croy who still clings on
to the top rope for his life within the Brawl For It All Match.
4……….
Jamie O’Hara delivers a few more kicks to the abdomen of Ryan Croy before
attempting to eliminate Ryan Croy once more.
3……….
James Hughes: Ryan Croy really needs to get himself off of the top rope…
2……….
James Hughes: He is a sitting duck up there
1……….
Matt Ross: Here we go!
BEEP!!!
‘Gimme’ by Alice Cooper his as Venom comes up from behind the entrance curtain
to a chorus of jeers and rushes down to the ring.
Matt Ross: Our third entrant is Venom who successfully defended his Tag Team
Championship alongside his partner, Lucifer Creed in a well contested match
earlier on in the night against the new team of Anthony Hawk and Jeff Turner
James Hughes: I take my previous comment back, Venom has already wrestled tonight.
If anything Venom is the least rested man in this match and it will surely show
as time passes by
Matt Ross: Let’s not forget that Jamie O’Hara was a part of a hellacious
Monsters Ball Match with Lucifer Creed a mere ten or so minutes ago
James Hughes: Indeed, which leaves Ryan Croy with a grand opportunity if he can
get himself off of the darn top rope and take advantage
Venom slides into the ring and backs himself into the corner of the ring and
simply watches the action unfold from the opposite end of the ring.
Matt Ross: So I guess he isn’t taking advantage of the opportunity
James Hughes: Probably wise to sit it out a little
Jamie O’Hara lets go of Ryan Croy and charges towards the opposite ropes, he
bounces off of the opposite ropes and charges back at Ryan Croy, going for a
Dropkick right to the face of Ryan Croy. Ryan Croy drops down from the top rope
as Jamie O’Hara goes for the Dropkick and Jamie O’Hara flies over the top rope.
However, Jamie O’Hara manages to grab a hold of the top rope with both hands as
he flies over the top rope and lands on the apron.
Matt Ross: That was incredibly close, Jamie O’Hara nearly cost himself the
match with that one
Both men now stand on the outside of the ring on the apron.
James Hughes: These two are both in the worst position imaginable. Both have
gone over the top rope so they are technically eligible for elimination. All it
takes is one move or one mistake to be eliminated from this position
Both men step towards one another and begin swinging fists, trying to knock one
another off of the apron. Venom leaps up like a cobra ready to strike and
charges towards both Jamie O’Hara and Ryan Croy, Jamie O’Hara sees this and
steps out of the way, Ryan Croy however is not so lucky and Venom bumps Ryan Croy
right off of the apron and down to the mat below.
Cristy Madison: Ryan Croy has been eliminated
Matt Ross: We are back down to two
James Hughes: Yes, but Jamie O’Hara is in a vulnerable position right now
Before Venom can even decide to knock Jamie O’Hara off of the apron Jamie
O’Hara grabs a hold of the ropes, lifts himself up to the side and kicks Venom
in the head before dropping back down and landing back on the apron. Venom stumbles back a few feet. Jamie O’Hara
steps back into the ring and charges at Venom, but Venom dodges out of the way.
Jamie O’Hara charges at Venom again, Venom waves an invisible red flag at Jamie
O’Hara taunting him to charge at it.
Venom: TAURO!
As Jamie O’Hara charges at Venom, Venom steps out of the way and Jamie O’Hara
rushes past.
James Hughes: Venom the Matador
Jamie O’Hara bounces off of the opposite ropes and charges back at Venom as
Venom turns around. Before he can even duck out of the way Jamie O’Hara takes
Venom down with a forearm smash to the forehead of Venom.
Matt Ross: Jamie O’Hara kept his momentum after charging, ensured to not give
Venom a breather and took him down before Venom had a chance to duck out of the
way
With one quick swoop Jamie O’Hara kips up to his feet to applause from the
crowd.
10……….
Matt Ross: The next entrant is approaching
9……….
8……….
Jamie O’Hara turns and watches the clock on the Diamondtron, keeping half an
eye on Venom in the corner
7……….
6……….
Venom is stirring, but isn’t much of a threat to Jamie O’Hara yet.
5……….
Jamie O’Hara stands and stares, waiting for the next entrant to show
4……….
3……….
Venom is up to his feet now.
2……….
Venom charges at Jamie O’Hara.
1……….
BEEP!!!
Jamie O’Hara Venom charge from the corner of his eye and attempts to counter,
but Venom takes Jamie O’Hara down and begins to deliver stiff strikes to Jamie
O’Hara’s face as Jamie O’Hara tries to return the favour.
James Hughes: Should have stayed on Venom, he can be very stealthy
‘Stronger (UWF Edit)’ by Emphatic hits as Anthony Hawk makes his way down to
the ring to a mixed reaction.
Matt Ross: Our forth entrant is the current reigning Heritage Champion, Anthony
Hawk!
James Hughes: First Venom, the reigning Tag Team Champion and now Anthony Hawk,
the reigning Heritage Champion. Its champion after champion entering this thing
Matt Ross: The interesting thing is that these two fought tooth and nail at the
start of the show for the Tag Team titles
Anthony Hawk slides into the ring and breaks up the fray between Jamie O’Hara
and Venom before stomping away at Venom. Jamie O’Hara gets to his feet and
charges to the ropes, he bounces off of the ropes and charges towards Anthony
Hawk and goes to clothesline his head clean off, however Anthony Hawk ducks
under it. Jamie O’Hara charges towards the opposite ropes, bounces off of the
ropes and charges back but Anthony Hawk is ready for him and lifts him up and
over with a Back Body Drop which sends Jamie O’Hara crashing down right on top
of Venom.
James Hughes: We have a two man pile up
Anthony Hawk charges towards the ropes, bounces off of the ropes and charges
towards the pile up of bodies before dropping a basement Dropkick in the
direction of the two-man pile up. Venom slides all the way out of the ring and
Jamie O’Hara collides with the bottom rope, keeping him in the ring.
Matt Ross: Venom is out of the ring, but to clarify, elimination only occurs by
going over the top rope with both feet touching the floor, which Venom did not
do
Anthony Hawk lifts Jamie O’Hara to his feet and drags him to the centre of the
ring before connecting with a DDT which spikes Jamie O’Hara’s head and neck
into the mat.
Matt Ross: Oh GEEZ! That was one devastating DDT
Anthony Hawk lifts Jamie O’Hara to his feet and grabs him by the back of the
head and charges him towards the ropes, throwing him up and over the ropes.
Jamie O’Hara grabs a hold of the ropes and hangs from the ropes, mere inches
away from his feet touching the floor.
Matt Ross: Lucky Jamie O’Hara isn’t a tall man
Anthony Hawk sees Jamie O’Hara hanging onto the ropes and charges at him and
attempts to deliver a Dropkick to Jamie O’Hara’s back to send him flying to the
outside, however Jamie O’Hara lifts himself up and over the ropes at the last
minute, avoiding the kick from Anthony Hawk. Anthony Hawk flies through the
middle rope and to the floor below.
Matt Ross: And again, Anthony Hawk went through the middle rope, he hasn’t been
eliminated
Jamie O’Hara now stands alone in the centre of the ring, both of his current
opponents are both laid out on the outside of the ring. Jamie O’Hara asks for a
microphone from Cristy Madison.
James Hughes: What is he doing?
Jamie O’Hara: The moment I picked the number one entry my heart sank, I knew I
was in for one hell of a long night. But with the misfortune of picking the
number one entry comes the opportunity to do something extraordinary, and
that’s go from entry number one all the way to the end, win this thing and be
the FIRST man to win the Brawl For It All at entry one and go on to The
Ultimate Showdown and WIN the World Championship, something only I have done
10……….
Matt Ross: Well, the next entrant is about to come out
9……….
Jamie O’Hara: Bring out the next entrant, I am ready
8……….
Jamie O’Hara hands the microphone back to Cristy Madison and awaits for the
next entrant, mindful that there are two men on the outside that could sneak up
on him at any second.
7……….
James Hughes: Well that was pointless, he should have pulled one of those men
back into the ring and thrown them over the top rope for an elimination
6……….
Matt Ross: He was using this chance to rest, if he wants to last all the way to
the end he needs to pace himself
5……….
James Hughes: Yes, but now he is left with three other men who could
potentially eliminate him as opposed to the potential of there only being the one
man about to enter in which he needed to eliminate
4……….
Just like previously, Jamie O’Hara stares up at the Diamondtron as the clock
counts down.

BEEP!!!
‘Even Flow’ by Pearl Jam hits as Michael Knight rushes down to the ring.
Matt Ross: Here is the youngster, Michael Knight, in his first ever Brawl For
It All Match
James Hughes: As impressive as this kid may be, he stands as much of a chance
of winning the Brawl For It All Match as you do in winning a World title
Matt Ross: So a good chance then?
James Hughes: Keep dreaming
Michael Knight slides into the ring and both Michael Knight and Jamie O’Hara
trade blows in the centre of the ring. As the two trade blows Venom sneaks into
the ring with a barbed wired two-by-four in his hands.
Matt Ross: Venom is back and equipped
James Hughes: And this is legal. Other than the elimination ruling and the
order of entry, there are no rules in this match whatsoever. You do whatever it
takes to get yourself to The Ultimate Showdown main event and in a World
Championship match and it seems Venom has picked the barbed wire two-by-four as
his weapon of choice
Venom comes up behind Michael Knight and swings for the hills, connecting with
a shot straight to the back of the head of Michael Knight as Jamie O’Hara ducks
out of the way to avoid the shot. Michael Knight drops like a ton of bricks to
the mat as blood begins to gush from the back of his head.
Matt Ross: Oh my! Michael Knight could be severely hurt right here
Venom swings the barbed wire two-by-four in the direction of Jamie O’Hara but
Jamie O’Hara jumps backwards to avoid the weapon. Venom continues to swing,
edging Jamie O’Hara closer and closer to the corner of the ring with no escape.
Jamie O’Hara jumps back and his back meets the turnbuckle and it is now that he
realises that he is in severe trouble.
James Hughes: Jamie O’Hara is cornered, what will he do now?
Venom, with an evil grin across his face, swings at Jamie O’Hara one more time
and as he does Jamie O’Hara rolls out of the way and the barbed wire
two-by-four connects with the top turnbuckle, pieces the turnbuckle and becomes
lodged in the turnbuckle. Venom takes a few steps away from the corner of the
ring but Jamie O’Hara Dropkicks him in the back and Venom falls head first onto
the barbed wire two-by-four lodged in the turnbuckle, unhinging the two-by-four
but also cutting his forehead open.
Matt Ross: Michael Knight is bleeding and now Venom is bleeding, this match is
becoming rather bloody
James Hughes: Feeling a little squeamish are we?
Matt Ross: Just a little…..Hang on! Anthony Hawk is back in the ring!
Sneaking up behind is Anthony Hawk, he charges at Jamie O’Hara from behind and
connects with a Neckbreaker as Jamie O’Hara stares at his handy work.
James Hughes: Jamie O’Hara forgot about Anthony Hawk
10……….
Matt Ross: The next entrant is about to make their appearance
9……….
Anthony Hawk rushes over to Venom in the corner of the ring and lifts him up
and over the top rope, Venom hangs on to the top turnbuckle with all his might,
clutching onto it like a new born child.
8……….
Anthony Hawk pushes into the side of Venom, trying to shove him over the top
rope, but Venom holds on and the little notch at the top of the turnbuckle
helps keep Venom from falling.
7……….
James Hughes: Anthony Hawk needs to move Venom a little, he is going nowhere up
there
6……….
Anthony Hawk grabs Venom by the legs and attempts to topple him off of the top
turnbuckle, but Venom won’t budge.
5……….
Anthony Hawk pushes and pushes with all his might.
4……….
Venom slowly begins to topple.
3……….
Venom falls head first from the top of the turnbuckle.
2……….
Venom manages to land on his feet on the apron
1……….
Anthony Hawk goes to strike Venom but Venom moves out of the way. Anthony Hawk
leans over the top turnbuckle only for Venom to charge at him (as fast as you
can charge on the outside of the apron) and connects with a knee to the temple
of Anthony Hawk.
BEEP!!!
‘Sound Of Madness’ by Shinedown hits as Joey McArthur appears from behind the
entrance curtain to a chorus of jeers from the crowd.
Matt Ross: The next entrant is Joey McArthur
Joey McArthur strides down the ring, in no real rush to enter the match
whatsoever.
James Hughes: Joey McArthur is taking his time to get into the ring, good
strategy
Venom is back in the ring now but has been confronted by Michael Knight. The
back of Michael Knight’s head is painted red with matted blood. Michael Knight
strikes away at Venom with vicious strikes as Venom covers up. Michael Knight
bounces Venom off of the ropes and whips him towards the opposite ropes, Venom
bounces off of the opposite ropes and charges back at Michael Knight who connects
with a Spinebuster. Michael Knight lifts Venom up and goes to toss him over the
top rope but Venom stops in his tracks and attempts to force Michael Knight
over the top rope. Jamie O’Hara suddenly charges out of nowhere and
clotheslines both men; Michael Knight gets the right arm and the most force
from the attack and goes up and over the top rope.
James Hughes: Bye-bye Michael Knight
Matt Ross: Nice attempt
Venom however lands on the apron. Jamie O’Hara takes a step back and Superkicks
Venom in the back of the head, sending him flying off of the apron. Venom falls
at an awkward angle, making him fall right down on the back of his head.
James Hughes: Venom is gone too
Matt Ross: Hang on! Wait
However, Venom’s feet DO NOT touch the floor and therefore, technically, he is
not eliminated. Venom’s feet rest against the crowd barricade but do not touch
the floor.
Matt Ross: Well, we sure do have an interesting circumstance here. Venom went
over the top rope and to the outside; by landed right up against the crowd
barricade and his feet have not touched the floor. According to the rules both
feet must touch the floor for an elimination to occur so technically Venom
isn’t eliminated. The referees are discussing it over with one another and with
Cristy Madison as the match continues in the ring.
10……….
Matt Ross: And our next entrant is on their way…

Matt Ross: …This is really getting interesting now

‘Fuel’ by Metallica hits as Rick O’Shea bursts through the entrance curtains to
an uproar of cheers from the crowd.
Matt Ross: Our next entrant is former World Champion, RICK O’SHEA!
Rick O’Shea rushes down the ramp and slides into the ring to meet up with Jamie
O’Hara, Anthony Hawk and Joey McArthur who eventually crawled into the ring.
The four stand in separate corners of the ring eyeing one another down.
Matt Ross: We have a stare down between the current competitors in this match
James Hughes: This is intense right here
The stare down doesn’t last long, all four men charge and meet in the centre of
the ring with a flying fury. All four men throw punches at one another,
creating a cartoon-like brawl in the centre of the ring.
James Hughes: We have a brawl in the centre of the ring
Matt Ross: Well, the match is Brawl For It All
As time goes by the battle slowly begins to move outwards, breaking off into
two smaller battles between two stars a piece. On one end we have Jamie O’Hara
fighting Anthony Hawk off to the side; they both are still trading punches. On
the other end we have Joey McArthur fighting Rick O’Shea and Joey McArthur
currently has Rick O’Shea backed up into the corner of the ring. Joey McArthur
pelts away at the abdomen of Rick O’Shea but is quickly forced into the corner
of the ring by Rick O’Shea who delivers gut punches of his own to Joey
McArthur.
Matt Ross: This match is really breaking away now
James Hughes: There is literally action left and right of the ring
Anthony Hawk charges towards Jamie O’Hara and levels him with a stiff boot to
the gut. Anthony Hawk grabs Jamie O’Hara by the head and delivers a Neckbreaker
to Jamie O’Hara. In the other corner Rick O’Shea continues to beat away at Joey
McArthur, but Joey McArthur drops down and levels Rick O’Shea with a low blow
to a chorus of jeers from the crowd.
Matt Ross: What a dirty move
James Hughes: It’s all legal
Joey McArthur grabs Rick O’Shea by the head and slams him head and neck first
down to the mat.
James Hughes: Rick O’Shea’s head bounced off of the mat from that
Anthony Hawk charges in the general direction of Joey McArthur only for Joey
McArthur to duck under his advances, turn around, grab Anthony Hawk and deliver
a Fall Away Slam to Anthony Hawk.
Matt Ross: From all that, Joey McArthur is left standing alone in this match
Joey McArthur slides out of the ring.
Matt Ross: Where is Joey McArthur going?
James Hughes: It seems this match is becoming a little more hardcore
Joey McArthur looks under the ring for weapons.
10……….
Matt Ross: And our next entrant will be stepping into the fray
9……….
Joey McArthur pulls out a lead pipe and throws it into the ring
8……….
Joey McArthur continues to search under the ring.
7……….
Joey McArthur pulls out a steel chair, but still isn’t satisfied and throws it
into the ring.
6……….
Matt Ross: What is Joey McArthur searching for?
5……….
James Hughes: Who knows
4……….
Joey McArthur pulls out a table to the elation from the crowd. A wicked grin
comes across the face of Joey McArthur as the crowd begins to chant ‘Tables!’.
3……….
James Hughes: It seems he found what he was looking for…
2……….
James Hughes: He was looking for a table to do the damage

BEEP!!!
‘Vodka’ by Korpiklaani hits as the crowd jumps to her feet in a roar of cheers
for Boris Neshkabov.
Matt Ross: BORIS NESHKABOV IS BACK!
Joey McArthur looks up at the ramp in disbelief as Boris Neshkabov charges down
the ramp. Joey McArthur slides into the ring with the table, stands up, holds
the table in both hands and waits for the confrontation with Boris Neshkabov.
Matt Ross: This is going to be good
Boris Neshkabov slides into the ring and Joey McArthur attempts to decapitate
him with the edge of the table, driving it down to the mat. Boris Neshkabov
however rolls out of the way. Joey McArthur turns around just in time for Boris
Neshkabov to ram right into Joey McArthur, driving the table into Joey
McArthur’s face, chest and abdomen and backing Joey McArthur into the ropes.
James Hughes: Boris Neshkabov has come into this match a house on fire
Boris Neshkabov grabs the nearby steel chair , shoves the table to the side
that is placed up against Joey McArthur and smashes the steel chair over the
head of Joey McArthur, busting Joey McArthur’s head right through the steel
chair. A ‘Holy shit!’ chant begins amongst the crowd.
Matt Ross: Oh my, what a shot!
James Hughes: That shot was heard as clear as day even in the cheap seats
Boris Neshkabov wrenches the chair from around Joey McArthur’s neck and tosses
it to the outside before lifting up the nearby table and setting it up to the
elation from the crowd. Boris Neshkabov then grabs Joey McArthur, places him on
the table and delivers a few stiff shots before climbing to the top rope.
Matt Ross: Boris Neshkabov is looking to use the table that was once meant to
decapitate him
James Hughes: Yes, but I don’t know whether it is wise to climb the ropes
From nearby we see Jamie O’Hara get to his feet, he charges towards the corner
of the ring where Boris Neshkabov and Joey McArthur reside, he springs up to
the second rope, springs towards the corner of the ring and grabs Boris
Neshkabov around the neck, looking for a Superplex, but Boris Neshkabov fights
it.
Matt Ross: Jamie O’Hara wants to deliver a Superplex to Boris Neshkabov
James Hughes: But to no avail
Anthony Hawk is now back to his feet, he heads over to the corner of the ring
to join the fray. Anthony Hawk grabs Jamie O’Hara under the legs for a
Powerbomb but Jamie O’Hara fights it whilst also trying to Superplex Boris
Neshkabov who is also fighting it.
James Hughes: This is becoming quite the predicament right here
Rick O’Shea is also to his feet now and joins the fray, he joins Anthony Hawk
in the attempt to Powerbomb Jamie O’Hara and they manage to succeed. Jamie
O’Hara is Powerbombed as Jamie O’Hara Superplexes Boris Neshkabov, both men
crash through the table in which Joey McArthur is still placed on top of.
Another ‘Holy Shit!’ chant emerges, louder than the previous chant.
James Hughes: My sentiments exactly
Matt Ross: Words fail me in regards to that move. WOW! Just WOW!

BEEP!!!
‘Gateways (Scapegoat Intro’ by Dimmu Borgir hits as Lucifer Creed appears on
stage to a chorus of jeers from the crowd.
Matt Ross: Oh no! Everyone in the ring is in for huge trouble
James Hughes: Everyone is laid out, Lucifer Creed can eliminate whomever he
wants to
Lucifer Creed makes it to the bottom of the ramp, however he does not enter the
ring, instead he walks around the ring.
James Hughes: What is he doing? Get into the ring and capitalise on this
marvellous opportunity?
Matt Ross: Where is he going?
Lucifer Creed walks around the ring and as the camera pans around we realise
exactly what he is doing.
Matt Ross: It’s Venom, I completely forgot about him. Venom is still lying with
his feet up against the crowd barricade. I haven’t heard any official word
regarding his elimination yet so I assume he is still in the match
Lucifer Creed squats down and lifts Venom up onto his shoulders, being sure
Venom’s feet do not touch the ground. Lucifer Creed then shoves Venom into the
ring before stepping into the ring himself.
Matt Ross: The Tag Team Champions are together as a part of this match up.
Everyone else in this match is in for a world of hurt
Both men stand to their feet and stare down the chaos in the ring.
Matt Ross: This doesn’t look good
Rick O’Shea and Anthony Hawk are the first to their feet. Rick O’Shea charges
at Lucifer Creed and Anthony Hawk
charges at Venom. Rick O’Shea backs Lucifer Creed into the corner of the ring
with vicious strikes as Anthony Hawk and Venom battle to the ropes. Anthony
Hawk strikes Venom a few times in the ropes before whipping him to the opposite
ropes, Venom bounces off of the opposite ropes and charges back at Anthony Hawk
who goes to lift Venom up and over with a Back Body Drop, however Anthony Hawk
ducks too earlier and catches a knee to the face from Venom. Venom shoves
Anthony Hawk into the ropes before whipping him towards the opposing ropes.
In the corner of the ring we see that Lucifer Creed has a hold of Venom’s
barbed wire two-by-four from earlier on in the match and is pelting Rick O’Shea
with it. Rick O’Shea is down on his hands and knees as Lucifer Creed delivers a
devastating shot to the back of Rick O’Shea. Rick O’Shea crumbles to the mat.
Venom attempts to clothesline Anthony Hawk but Anthony Hawk ducks under it.
Anthony Hawk bounces off of the opposite
ropes and charges back at Venom, Venom lifts Anthony Hawk up and over for a
Back Body Drop, however Anthony Hawk lands on the shoulders of Lucifer Creed
who has appeared underneath Anthony Hawk. Lucifer Creed delivers a Powerbomb to
Anthony Hawk and as he does Venom springs up, grabs Anthony Hawk by the neck
and drives Anthony Hawk down with a Neckbreaker as Lucifer Creed connects with
a Powerbomb.
Matt Ross: WOW! Such domination shown by the Church Of Lucifer. Who is going to
stop this onslaught by the Tag Team Champions?
Lucifer Creed picks Anthony Hawk up in both hands, leans over the edge of the
ring and literally dumps Anthony Hawk over the ropes like he is a piece of
garbage.
James Hughes: The night is done for Anthony Hawk
Rick O’Shea stirs in the corner of the ring, leading to both Lucifer Creed and
Venom to stalk Rick O’Shea and start a two on one assault.

flying up and over the top rope and to the outside, this time his feet touch
the floor and he is eliminated.
BEEP!!!
Cristy Madison: Venom has been eliminated
Matt Ross: There goes Venom after Jamie O’Hara and Rick O’Shea get the best of
the Church Of Lucifer
James Hughes: We have an evener playing field now
‘All I Want’ by A Day To Remember hits as Johnny O Bom comes through the
entrance ramp to X-Pac styled heat.
James Hughes: Oh GEEZ! What a waste of an entrant
Matt Ross: That’s not nice
James Hughes: It’s true
Johnny O Bom makes his way down the ramp as Rick O’Shea and Jamie O’Hara double
team Lucifer Creed in the corner of the ring. Joey McArthur and Boris Neshkabov
are back to their feet now and are currently trading blows. Joey McArthur
delivers a poke to the eye, sending Boris Neshkabov stumbling back a little.
Joey McArthur grabs the arm of Boris Neshkabov and whips him towards the ropes,
Boris Neshkabov bounces off of the ropes and charges back towards Joey
McArthur, Joey McArthur connects with a deep Arm Drag but Boris Neshkabov
manages to land on his feet. Boris Neshkabov bounces off of the opposite ropes
and goes to clothesline Joey McArthur, but Joey McArthur connects with a stiff
kick to the gut of Boris Neshkabov. Joey McArthur charges towards the ropes, he
bounces off of the ropes and charges back at Boris Neshkabov and attempts to
clothesline Boris Neshkabov however Boris Neshkabov catches Joey McArthur’s arm
and delivers an Arm Drag of his own.
James Hughes: This back and forth action between Boris Neshkabov and Joey
McArthur is amazing
Boris Neshkabov whips Joey McArthur towards the ropes, Joey McArthur grabs a
hold of the ropes and taunts Boris Neshkabov to charge, which he does. Joey
McArthur delivers a stiff kick to the face of the charging Boris Neshkabov
before whipping Boris Neshkabov towards the ropes; Boris Neshkabov floats
through it and connects with a kick to the gut to Joey McArthur. Boris
Neshkabov delivers a few gut punches to Joey McArthur before charging towards
the ropes, he bounces off of the ropes and charges back at Joey McArthur,
taking Joey McArthur up and over the top rope with a Hangman Clothesline which
also sends Boris Neshkabov over the top rope. Boris Neshkabov attempts to grab
a hold of the ropes to save himself to no avail. Both Joey McArthur and Boris
Neshkabov crash to the floor below.
Cristy Madison: Both Joey McArthur and Boris Neshkabov have been eliminated
Matt Ross: Boris Neshkabov took a chance and unfortunately it cost him the
match. However on the plus he eliminated Joey McArthur from the match in the
process
James Hughes: It wasn’t a very good trade in my opinion, the elimination of
Joey McArthur for Boris Neshkabov’s chances at a World Championship match at
the grandest stage of them all
Matt Ross: With risk comes reward
10……….
Matt Ross: And with that our next entrant is about to emerge

James Hughes: We are down to four men left in the ring…

BEEP!!!
Matt Ross: Here comes our eleventh entrant of the night!
The camera cuts backstage to the same doorway that has been appearing on screen
all night, with the thumbtack image as a sign. A crew member is seen knocking
on the door as ‘Going Under’ (Instrumental) by Evanescence hits the sound
system. The arena lights go out and all that lights up the arena is the
Diamondtron, showing the door whilst the music begins to play.
James Hughes: Woah, I guess this is another of those mystery opponents.
Matt Ross: Looks like we’re about to find out who’s behind door number one!
The door opens as the music hits the 25 second mark and slams against the
interior wall of the apparent private locker room.
Out steps a bald man with what appears to be red coloured eyes and a look of
distain on his face. The man is followed by a camera crew as he makes his way
to the gorilla position, wearing black wrist tapes, black knee pads, black boots
with red laces and black trunks with the same thumbtack image printed on the
front and back.
Matt Ross: Jesus, would you get a look at this guy!
At the 47 second mark, the man snarls and grunts audibly into the camera before
pushing it aside and stomping up the stairs to the curtain.
James Hughes: He’s a nice guy then, no?
At 58 seconds the camera cuts back into the arena as pyrotechnics explode at
either side of the curtain entrance and the lights come back on. The man walks
out from behind the curtain, snarling and grunting and stomps his way down the
entrance ramp and does a lap around the ring.
Cristy Madison: Introducing entrant number eleven, from Newtownards, Northern
Ireland… Riley McManus!
James Hughes: Well the crowd don’t quite know what to make of this fella, do
they?
Matt Ross: No, it seems they’re taken a bit aback by... did Cristy say McManus?
James Hughes: I’m not entirely sure why she announced his name or why he got
his own entrance to be honest.. This is the Brawl For It All! All the action is
happening IN THE RING, as we speak!
Matt Ross: So cynical… He’s making his debut!
James Hughes: The name does sound familiar though… I swear I’ve heard of this
guy before.
Matt Ross: Oh, yeah, ‘cos you know everybody in the game, don’t you? Mr.
Connections over here!
I bet that’s why you don’t like him!
James Hughes: I didn’t say I don’t like him!
Matt Ross: You say as he walks past the announce table…
James Hughes: I haven’t had a chance to see him in action yet, so I can’t
judge. Get in the ring, will ya?
Hughes shouts at McManus whom has been studying the ring during his entrance.
Riley McManus slams his fists down on the announce table and leans into Hughes’
face, snarling before stepping away, finishing his lap around the ring as his
music cuts off at 1:55 and McManus stomps up the ring steps and into the ring.
Matt Ross: That told you then! Haha.
James Hughes: ……
Johnny O Bom looks petrified by the sheer presence of the big man confidently
stepping into the ring. O’ Shea, O’ Hara and Creed all stop what they’re doing
as McManus stands in the middle of the ring, eyes darting back and forth
between them all. After a brief moment, Riley’s eyes stop and focus on O Bom as
he shouts:
Riley McManus: Playtime!
He shouts this out loud with a grin. He rubs his hands together and O Bom
attempts to leave the ring through the middle rope, shaking his head.
McManus charges forward and grabs O Bom by the back of his neck and shouts:
Riley McManus: Oh no you don’t!
Before throwing O Bom across the
ring.
At this point O’Shea and O’Hara turn their attention back to Lucifer Creed whom
has had time to recover and now starts battling back against the two, one punch
to O’Shea, and another to O’Hara and again, and again, and again, until he is
out of the corner.
Riley McManus on the other hand is just getting started as on the opposite side
of the ring he has O Bom cornered. A punch to the gut from McManus has O Bom
doubling over in agony. He Irish whips Johnny O Bom into the ropes and upon the
rebound hits him with a devastating clothesline, turning O bom inside out and
upside down.
Matt Ross: Good God!
The countdown to entrant twelve begins.
10……….
9……….
8……….
Creed has Rick O’Shea hanging over the top rope as he tries to eliminate him,
but he is also having to multitask, forcing his foot against the throat of a
downed Jamie O’Hara in the corner.
7……….
McManus picks O Bom back up off the ground, dusts him off and sends him into the opposite ropes, causing Rick O’Shea to teeter over the top rope, almost going over.
6……….
McManus dives into the ropes to the right of where he sent O Bom and the two
meet in the middle of the ring with an almighty crash as Riley McManus’
shoulder meets O Bom’s chest, sending him flying once more.
5……….
4……….
Matt Ross: Here comes number
twelve!
3……….
2……….
O’Hara grabs Creed’s ankle and tears it away from his throat, yanking him off
balance and in desperation, attempts an ankle lock.
1……….
BEEP!!!
‘Gotta Reason’ by Hard-Fi begins
to play inside the arena, as Chuck Boyd makes his way down to join the fray.
The crowd reaction is barely existent. Immediately he is met with a Johnny O
Bom to the face, as Riley McManus performs a belly to belly overhead throw on O
Bom, sending him into Boyd. O Bom capitalises on this and attempts to perform a
hurracanrana on the new entrant, but to no avail as he is swatted away.
Boyd gets straight to work on O’Shea whom is trying to free himself from the
ropes.
James Hughes: Who the hell is this kid?
Matt Ross: I thought you’d gone silent?
James Hughes: I just had nothing to talk about.
Matt Ross: Sure! Well, I know this kid’s name is Chuck Boyd and that he’s a
former 2 time NCAA Champion, but other than that, I don’t really know much
about him…
James Hughes: Ugh… Well, let’s
see what the kid’s got!
As Johnny O Bom slowly gets to his feet he is once again met with another
onslaught from Riley McManus – this time from the air, as McManus hits a diving
leg drop from the very top rope onto the back of O Bom’s head.
Matt Ross: Welp.. He’s out.
James Hughes: Not yet.
Matt Ross: I meant out cold. That’s gotta be over three hundred pounds landing
on his head!
McManus shouts:
Riley McManus: Emerald…Ore!
The crowd are starting to warm
to the intense character. He lifts O Bom onto his shoulders in a fireman’s
carry position, then proceeds to drop backwards onto the mat, driving his knees
into O Bom’s gut.
Matt Ross: OUCH!
Chuck Boyd realises Rick O’Shea is practically glued to the ropes, so peels him
off and sends him across the ring, meeting him in the middle with a snap
suplex. Boyd follows this up with a German suplex throw.
Creed, meanwhile, has broken out of O’Hara’s ankle lock attempt and has him in
the Hangman’s Noose position.
Riley McManus picks up an unconscious Johnny O Bom and shouts into his ear:
Riley McManus: Playtime…Is OVER for you!
Then he simply throws him over
the top rope and out of the ring to the floor.
Cristy Madison: Johnny O Bom has been eliminated.
Matt Ross: Can’t say that wasn’t expected…
James Hughes: And here I was thinking you had a soft spot for the guy…
Matt Ross: I thought that was you?
James Hughes: Hell no!
As Chuck Boyd and Lucifer Creed trade opponents, their eyes meet and Boyd’s
confident expression soon turns to absolute fear.
James Hughes: Uh oh…
Matt Ross: What? OH!
James Hughes: Looks like Chuckie’s about to meet his maker!
Matt Ross: Either that or Creed’s gonna become the Bride of Chuckie!
James Hughes: Um…What?
Matt Ross: Nevermind.. I was
trying to put the kid over.. Didn’t work… move on!
10……….
9……….
Riley McManus salivates, eyeing up both Jamie O’Hara and Rick O’Shea as Lucifer
Creed continues to stare down Chuck Boyd.
8……….
Matt Ross: Perhaps the most unlucky entrant is about to make his way to the
ring… unlucky number thirteen!
7……….
6……….
O’Hara gets to his feet and
charges at the big McManus but is side-stepped and McManus grabs him by the
head, lifts him up into a military press position, and rather than eliminating
him, tosses him to the outside, directly onto the announce table.
James Hughes: What the f… IDIOT!
Matt Ross: Woah! Calm down!
5……….
4……….
Rick O’Shea looks worried. A ‘Playtime’ chant begins in the crowd.
3……….
2……….
Creed begins to hammer away at the skull of Boyd.
1……….
BEEP!!!
‘Fame > Demise’ by Woe, is Me (UWF Edit) hits the sound system and an
instant change in the crowd’s reaction can be heard as CF Schulze is seen
running down the ramp.
James Hughes: CF SCHULZE!
Matt Ross: The former two-time UWF World Champion is number thirteen!
James Hughes: Man, it’s been a long night for some of these competitors, huh?
Matt Ross: You got that right!
Schulze quietly slips into the ring and sits in a corner, darting his eyes
around the ring, making sure everyone is paired off.
Matt Ross: And look at Chuck Boyd go! He’s fighting back against Lucifer Creed!
That’s an ambitious statement in its’ own right! You know, this guy could go
all the way!
James Hughes: …You realise each and every one of these guys could go all the
way, right? Including this guy practically sat in our laps, in Jamie O’Hara who
hasn’t been eliminated… YET! He’s got to get OFF the table and into the ring..
I’m not sure he’s gonna make it.
With each and every blow from Boyd, Creed sniggers a little, belittling his
adversary’s advances before striking him in return. The two continue to punch
each other back and forth, until Rick O’ Shea charges at them, attempting a
running senton splash in an effort to escape McManus’ leering presence, and get
rid of one or both of these two men.
Both men side-step O’Shea and send him handspringing into the ropes and back.
As he comes back, landing back on his feet, his back smacks into the huge chest
of Riley McManus.
CF Schulze smirks in the corner, knowing another elimination could be imminent.
McManus shouts.
Riley McManus: Scrabo!
The crowd cheer as he progresses
towards a powerbomb situation with O’Shea up in the air, but instead, he falls
back down onto the mat and he slams O’Shea downwards, driving both his knees
into the spine of O’Shea whom wails out in pain.
James Hughes: OOWW! Man!
Matt Ross: I get the feeling that impressed you?
James Hughes: No, it just hurt me by watching it! What the hell is a ‘Scrabo’
anyway?
CF Schulze laughs and as this gets Riley’s attention, Schulze slips out of the
ring, under the ropes, perhaps saving himself some embarrassment.
Meanwhile, Creed now has the young Chuck Boyd leaning over the top rope and in
an elimination predicament but Boyd fights back with elbows to the gut,
stunning the dark one, kicking away too. Once free, Boyd then exits the ring
via the second rope and proceeds to look under the ring for a weapon.
Matt Ross: Just to be clear, folks, neither Schulze nor Boyd have been
eliminated.. You need to go over the top rope, with both feet touching the
floor to be eliminated.
James Hughes: And they either went under the ropes or through the middle,
right?
Matt Ross: Right, unlike Jamie O’Hara, here, whom is trying to figure out a way
into the ring without touching the floor.
Riley McManus paces the ring, eyes locked on Rick O’Shea who struggles to get
to his feet. When he’s had enough of waiting, McManus simply charges at O’Shea,
sending him into the second rope and Riley continues to press his knee into the
neck of O’Shea, choking him against the second rope. Despite O’Shea being a fan
favourite, it seems they are warming to the powerhouse that is Riley McManus.
Matt Ross: Is that a ‘Riley’ chant I hear now?
James Hughes: Nope.. It’s a ‘Hughesy’ chant.
Matt Ross: Yeah, and I’m secretly the President.
James Hughes: Congratulations!
McManus sends O’Shea into the ropes and once again hits him with a knee, but on
the rebound from the Irish whip, forcing O’Shea to tumble over his knee and
onto the mat.
10……….
9……….
8……….
James Hughes: Time for another one already?
7……….
6……….
Matt Ross: It would seem so…
5……….
As O’Shea gets to his feet, McManus grabs his left wrist and guides him over to the corner, where McManus climbs the turnbuckles, still holding O’Shea’s wrist.
4……….
3……….
James Hughes: Oh good Lord, what is he doing?
McManus, at over three hundred pounds, walks along the top rope a little,
before placing O’Shea’s arm between his legs and diving off in a sort of
spinning heel kick motion, into the ring.
2……….
An audible ‘snap’ echoes through the arena as both McManus and O’Shea land on the mat and McManus proceeds to stretch the arm in an armbreaker submission hold.
1……….
BEEP!!!
Matt Ross: …. I’m not even sure
how to call that!
James Hughes: I’ll give him credit… he’s unique.
‘Me Against The World’ by Simple Plan drowns out the echoes of the snap in the
arena, and Ashten Cross is now seen sauntering down the ramp.
James Hughes: It’s ‘the last
great hope’!
Matt Ross: He’s the last something alright…
Ashten Cross stops just shy of the ring as he watches Rick O’Shea writhing in
pain on the outside. CF Schulze re-appears and jumps from the top of the ring
steps onto Cross, with an air borne bulldog. The two continue to brawl on the
outside as Rick O’Shea finally manages to break free of McManus’ vice-like
armbreaker hold. He quickly scurries to the top turnbuckle in an effort to gain
some sort of leverage, but McManus just chops him down with a slap to the
chest. O’Shea tumbles from the turnbuckle, but holds on to the rope as he
falls.. His feet sway beneath him.
Matt Ross: Watch out, they’re coming our way again!
James Hughes: It’s alright, O’Hara can catch O’Shea since he’s NOT LEFT THE
TABLE YET! Get back in the ring!
Matt Ross: He’s waiting for his opportunity, Hughes, Geez, calm down!
Whilst McManus momentarily thinks he’s eliminated Rick O’Shea, he spots Chuck Boyd attempting to sneak into the ring with a sledgehammer, aiming at Lucifer Creed. McManus simply grabs the sledgehammer as Boyd raises it and lifts the kid off his feed by lifting the sledgehammer.
James Hughes: I can’t say that’s not funny!
Boyd lets go of the sledgehammer and, fearing for his life, tries to back away, but soon reaches the ropes. As soon as he does, he is met with a sledgehammer shot to the gut from Riley McManus before he simply tosses Boyd over the top rope.
Cristy Madison: Chuck Boyd has been eliminated.
Matt Ross: Thanks for stopping
by, Chuck!
Meanwhile, a low blow from Cross sees CF Schulze down and out, to the right of
Boyd’s spill. Ashten Cross still hasn’t made it into the ring at this point and
proceeds to sneak around the other side of the ring, near where O’Shea is
dangling, and pulls out a Ladder from under the ring and sets it up.
Matt Ross: Ohhh, wait a minute!
In the ring, Lucifer Creed, whom has been recovering in the corner, now squares up to the big Riley McManus. The two big men almost see eye to eye as they stare one another down. McManus does not seem intimidated, and rather snarls at the prospect of Creed being so confident.
James Hughes: This could be big!
O’Hara takes his chance and leaps off the announce table and onto the ladder,
only to be stopped in his tracks by Cross, looking for an easy claim to
elimination, hoping to knock off the former Brawl For It All winner.
Matt Ross: One step forward….
The two climb the ladder and trade blows all the way up, leaving the bottom few
rungs free. O’Shea reaches for the ladder with his hands and clambers onto it.
Jamie O’Hara thinks with his feet too and kicks away at Ashten Cross who slips down
a rung, almost sitting on top of Rick O’Shea. O’Hara takes a leap of faith as
he crosses over to the other side of the ladder.. He needs to get back into the
ring but if he jumps now he’ll surely injure himself.
As Riley McManus shoves away Lucifer Creed, sending him into the ropes, he
turns around to see why the fans are cheering. Jamie O’Hara then leaps off the
top of the ladder performing a diving moonsault into the ring and onto McManus,
taking them both out. He also sends the ladder wobbling.
James Hughes: Holy…
Matt Ross: WOWwait a minute!
The ladder teeters and as Cross kicks O’Shea in the head it falls to one side
forcing both O’Shea and Cross to fall to the floor as well.
Cristy Madison: Rick O’Shea has been eliminated.
James Hughes: That is NOT how I saw that playing out.
Matt Ross: Don’t forget, Cross ain’t out just yet.. He never even got INTO the
match yet!
CF Schulze makes his way back into the
ring with a steel chair in hand and swings for McManus who, despite taking the
brunt of O’Hara’s moonsault is back up to his feet in no time. McManus ducks
and Schulze hits O’Hara before Riley sends him hurtling into the turnbuckles
where a waiting Lucifer Creed begins his assault.
Ashten Cross picks himself up, checks himself out and then picks up the ladder,
introducing it into the ring, along with himself. With Schulze down on the mat,
O’Hara, Creed, Cross and McManus stand in the ring, each toward a corner.
James Hughes: Well, this could go either way at this point.
Matt Ross: And we’ve still got one fresh man to come!
James Hughes: I think we’ve got two.. McManus has barely broken a sweat.
O’Hara’s dive is more or less the first offense anyone’s got on him.
Matt Ross: Well, only seconds ‘till our final entrant make himself known.
Cross attempts to lawn dart the ladder at McManus’ head but it’s swatted away
by a big boot.
James Hughes: OOH! Big boot to the ladder!
Matt Ross: ….Idiot.
Ashten Cross looks frustrated and screams out as he rushes towards McManus.
He’s met with a running spear from the big man.
Matt Ross: SPEAR!
Riley McManus then screams out:
Riley McManus: This…Is an exhibition!
Lucifer Creed and Jamie O’Hara
simply look on and CF Schulze simply plays possum.
10……….
9……….
McManus lifts Cross up into
another fireman’s carry position and clutching his legs, proceeds to spin Cross
out from his shoulders as he falls back to the mat, pancaking his face in the
canvas.
8……….
7……….
Still clutching his legs, Riley lifts him up, draped over his shoulders and in one fluid motion, hits a devastating, diving Spinebuster on Cross, releasing the hold with a growl.
6……….
5……….
Matt Ross: WOW! This guy just continues to impress me.
4……….
James Hughes: I think he’s just showing off!
3……….
As quick as he performed the move, Riley McManus picks up Cross once more and
simply tosses him out of the ring, over the top rope.
Cristy Madison: Ashten Cross has been eliminated.
2……….
James Hughes: Well… he showed SIGNS of brilliance….
Matt Ross: But never really got started.
1……….
BEEP!!!
James Hughes: Last entrant!
‘Tragedy’ by Celldweller hits the P.A system and the crowd erupts to the
arrival of Jeff Turner.
Matt Ross: WOW! Even Turner’s back out here for the Brawl For It All! I guess
that shows just how much this opportunity means to these guys!
James Hughes: And with Cross eliminated, we have our final five!
Riley McManus stares at Schulze, Creed and O’Hara, then glances at Turner as he
rushes the ring, before shouting:
Riley McManus: Playtime…Is…OVER!
McManus steps over the top rope and jumps down to the floor in front of the
announce table.
Cristy Madison: Riley McManus has been eliminated.
James Hughes: What the…? What did he do that for?
Matt Ross: Don’t ask me, ask the guy giving you the evil eye!
McManus snatches Hughes’ headset from him and shouts into the microphone:
Riley McManus: New toys please!
He slams the headset back into
Hughes’ chest and turning around.
The four in the ring look completely confused as to why McManus just eliminated
himself. Then they shrug it off and begin to pummel away at one another.
Riley then looks under the apron for something.
James Hughes: Oh, now what’s he doing? He’s outta the match; will somebody get
this lunatic out of here please?
He comes back out from under the ring with a bag in hand and two steel chairs.
He tosses the chairs into the ring and steps up onto the apron and back inside
the ring whilst opening the bag with a smirk. McManus then tips the contents of
the bag out onto the canvas, laughing audibly.
Matt Ross: AH! Thumbtacks! I get it now!
Riley screams out:
Riley McManus: Pin Tack Mack! Pin Tack Mack! Pin Tack Mack! Pin Tack Mack!
The crowd take over with the
chant.
Schulze and O’Hara are in the corner trying to eliminate one another but Jeff
Turner, free from a brief attack from Lucifer Creed, now perplexed at the
goings on attempts to see what’s up with UWF’s latest arrival. After placing a
hand on his shoulder, Turner has his legs swept out from under him, forcing him
to fall into the spilled tacks on the mat. Turner writhes in pain as the tacks
dig into his skin. McManus smiles a sinister smile before grabbing a steel
chair and launching it at Schulze and O’Hara.
Matt Ross: I have a feeling the worst is yet to come!
McManus swings the other chair
at Creed, barely stunning him with one shot, two shots, three shots… A rebound
shot from the ropes knocks Creed down and into the tacks. McManus keeps
striking Creed in the head with the chair until he’s busted open and the chair
is bent beyond recognition. Turner, recovering from the pain of the tacks now
lodged in his back and arms, trickling blood from their piercings, swings
McManus around, whom in turn swings the chair at Turner’ head. A sharp edge
catches him and Turner gets cut on his way down to the mat.
James Hughes: Good God! He’s even taken down Creed!
Matt Ross: AND Turner!
Schulze throws the other chair back at Riley whom knocks it out of the way and
dives at Schulze with a Lou Thesz Press and pummels away at his skull before
raking several tacks across the forehead of the former UWF Champion.
Matt Ross: I think what we saw earlier was the calm before the storm!
James Hughes: Ya think?
Then McManus simply stares at O’Hara as referees and officials invade the ring
in an attempt to escort Riley back to the locker room area after his
self-elimination. He goes quietly until half way up the ramp, he breaks free
and heads back to the ring to cause more chaos. He is stopped before he can get
to the ring, but manages to kick O’Hara in the head as he confidently leans over
the ropes, almost teasing McManus.
Matt Ross: WOW.
Riley McManus then nods repeatedly as he freely walks backwards up the ramp,
acknowledging his carnage.
James Hughes: Well either way, we’ve got our final four, but good God how
things can change in an instant!
Matt Ross: Turner’s down, Creed is down, Schulze is down.. O’Hara’s the only one not busted open but he’s also down!
James Hughes: It’s anyone’s match to win now, I guess!
Matt Ross: Got that right! Who’d have thought one guy could come in here and have a solid showing against UWF’s best, and STILL leave walking of his own accord?
James Hughes: I don’t like him,
but I have to admit, he’s scary impressive
Jamie O’Hara is back to his feet.
Matt Ross: Well, moving on. We have an interesting situation in the ring, three
men are down, Jamie O’Hara stands over them as the forth. He has a prime
opportunity for a elimination
James Hughes: All he needs to do is pick someone up and throw them over
Jamie O’Hara goes over to Lucifer Creed and picks his limp body up, looking to
shove Lucifer Creed over the top rope. Lucifer Creed slowly comes to and
realises what is going on and fights Jamie O’Hara off of him before shoving
Jamie O’Hara backwards. Jamie O’Hara rolls back, but lands on his feet and
charges back towards Lucifer Creed before delivering a Dropkick.
James Hughes: The big boy isn’t going to go over the top rope with a Dropkick
Jamie O’Hara goes to pummel Lucifer Creed with lefts and rights but Lucifer
Creed manages to gozzle Jamie O’Hara and Chokeslams him down to the mat.
Matt Ross: Huge Chokeslam counter from Lucifer Creed
Lucifer Creed begins to stomp away at the fallen Jamie O’Hara, blood dripping
from his forehead.
Matt Ross: This ring is a mess, there is blood everywhere, the ring is littered
with torturous weapons and there are thumbtacks all over the place. Those
thumbtacks make this ring a spiky, painful minefield
Lucifer Creed lays in a few more stomps in on Jamie O’Hara before grabbing a
nearby chair and swinging for the fences.
Matt Ross: Oh GEEZ!
As Lucifer Creed brings the chair down Jamie O’Hara kicks up in the air and
kicks the chair into Lucifer Creed’s face. The chair shot echoes around the
arena as Lucifer Creed falls rigid to the mat, onto a large portion of
thumbtacks.
Matt Ross: UGH! Those thumbtacks are sticking into his spine, and others from
earlier are still lodged in there
James Hughes: These thumbtacks could do major nervous system damage if they
penetrate in the wrong spot
Lucifer Creed arches his back, trying to avoid putting any pressure on his
back. Jamie O'Hara makes a habit of pushing Lucifer Creed’s back straight down
onto the mat with his foot, forcing the thumbtacks further into Lucifer Creed’s
back. Jamie O’Hara removes his boot from Lucifer Creed’s chest and lifts
Lucifer Creed to his feet. As Lucifer Creed stumbles Jamie O’Hara kicks Lucifer
Creed in the face, one of his own shoes flying off in the process.
James Hughes: Bye-bye shoe
As Lucifer Creed staggers backwards Jamie O’Hara goes up and picks up his
nearby shoe and throws it at Lucifer Creed.
Matt Ross: Look out, stray boot
James Hughes: Air Boot coming in for landing
The boot hits Lucifer Creed in the head, Lucifer Creed simply shrugs it off,
turns around and look at Lucifer Creed with a ‘what the fuck?’ look on his face
before charging at Jamie O’Hara. Jamie O’Hara moves out of the way and delivers
a Drop Toe Hold, sending Lucifer Creed’s face into the middle turnbuckle.
James Hughes: Lucifer Creed was just hoodwinked by Jamie O’Hara
Matt Ross: Hoodwinked? Really? What, are we in 1610?
Jamie O’Hara charges at Lucifer Creed, delivering a Dropkick to the back of the
head of Lucifer Creed. Both men stumble to their feet and a back and forth
brawl begins in the corner of the ring between the two.
Matt Ross: Even after a Monsters Ball match these two can still beat the crap
out of each other
James Hughes: They loath each other, I can’t blame them one bit
Lucifer Creed gets the upper hand and manages to shove Jamie O’Hara away. Jamie
O’Hara lands on several thumbtacks and writhes in pain as the thumbtacks
puncture his back.
Matt Ross: Those thumbtacks really need to be cleared from the ring
James Hughes: There are no rules in this match, those thumbtacks are just as
legal as a headlock
Matt Ross: Surely there comes a time when enough is enough
James Hughes: Not in the UWF
Lucifer Creed walks over to Jamie O’Hara and goes to pick him up, but as he
does Jamie O’Hara grabs a hold of a nearby chair and swings it at the head of
Lucifer Creed, connecting with a cracking shot. Lucifer Creed stumbles
backwards into the ropes, leans over the ropes, loses his balance and tumbles
to the floor below.
Cristy Madison: Lucifer Creed has been eliminated
James Hughes: WOW! I expected Lucifer Creed to win this one. So long for that
prediction
Matt Ross: You expect everyone to win in the end
Before Jamie O’Hara can even get to his feet he is blindsided by a shot by the
barbed wire two-by-four from CF Schulze, a shot which rips open Jamie O’Hara’s
abdominal region.
Matt Ross: Jamie O’Hara has now joined the club; he bleeds
CF Schulze swings again and connects with the forehead of Jamie O’Hara, opening
up the forehead of Jamie O’Hara also.
Matt Ross: Oh my GOD!
CF Schulze rakes the barbed wire two by four along the forehead of Jamie
O’Hara, opening the wound up even further and raking mere inches away from
Jamie O’Hara’s eyes.
Matt Ross: This is so dangerous; CF Schulze could poke one of Jamie O’Hara’s
eyes out!
CF Schulze rips the barbed wire two by four away from Jamie O’Hara’s forehead
violently before throwing the barbed wire two-by- four down upon Jamie O’Hara
before stalking Jeff Turner who slowly emerges to his feet.
James Hughes: CF Schulze has suddenly gained huge momentum in this match. Jamie
O’Hara is down and potentially out from those vicious barbed wire two-by-four
shots and Jeff Turner is looking to be the next to be targeted
CF Schulze spins Jeff Turner around by the shoulder, wraps his arm around Jeff
Turner’s head and delivers a Snap Suplex. CF Schulze keeps the head locked as
the crowd begins to chant ‘Ohhhhhhhh’, slowly getting higher pitched as CF
Schulze gets back to his feet. CF Schulze hits another Snap Suplex on Jeff
Turner as the crowd once again chants ‘Ohhhhhhhh’, slowly getting higher
pitched as CF Schulze gets back to his feet. CF Schulze hits a third Snap
Suplex with intensity, forcing Jeff Turner high into the air and directly on
top of the ladder, placed unfortunately in the path of Jeff Turner.
James Hughes: Jeff Turner must have broken his back on that ladder!
Matt Ross: Jeff Turner has gone through a world of hurt since he entered this
match
James Hughes: This match isn’t considered one of the most hardcore matches in
wrestling history for no reason
CF Schulze’s scraps the carcass of Jeff Turner off of the ladder and charges at
the ropes, sending Jeff Turner up and over the top rope, eliminating Jeff
Turner with relative ease.
Cristy Madison: Jeff Turner has been eliminated
Matt Ross: Good showing by Jeff Turner, but it just wasn’t enough
CF Schulze turns around to the sight of Jamie O’Hara charging at him, Jamie
O’Hara connects with a clothesline, taking CF Schulze up and over the top rope.
James Hughes: OHHH!!!
CF Schulze manages to land on the apron.
Matt Ross: CF Schulze is safe…for now
Jamie O’Hara goes to connect with a left, CF Schulze ducks under it, Jamie
O’Hara goes to connect with a right, CF Schulze ducks under it, grabs the
nearby ropes and delivers a side kick to the face of Jamie O’Hara. This kick
gives CF Schulze just enough time to spring up onto the top rope and dive at
Jamie O’Hara with a diving forearm before Jamie O’Hara can regain his
composure.
James Hughes: That was a close shave right there
CF Schulze springs to his feet and grabs the nearby ladder and waits eagerly
for Jamie O’Hara to get back to his feet. Jamie O’Hara gets to his feet and
turns around only for CF Schulze to throw the ladder in his face. Jamie O’Hara
manages to catch it, one of the bottom legs swing outwards, Jamie O’Hara places
the ladder down on the mat and both Jamie O’Hara and CF Schulze begin to climb
it.
Matt Ross: Jamie O’Hara and CF Schulze are scaling this rather tall ladder
James Hughes: They both need to get down! The higher you climb the further you
fall
Each man climbs a single rung of the ladder, sending swift, but accurate
punches through each rung to one another. As the both of them reach the top
they start trading blows over the top of the ladder and as they step onto the
third last rung they start trading veracious shots back and forth, looking to
knock one another off the top.
Matt Ross: This is quite the intense predicament
CF Schulze sends a kick out to the side, connecting with the side of Jamie
O’Hara; Jamie O’Hara doubles over, giving CF Schulze the chance to drive Jamie
O’Hara’s head into the top of the ladder. Jamie O’Hara stumbles back a little,
giving CF Schulze the opportunity to shove Jamie O’Hara in the chest. Jamie
O’Hara falls back, slides down a few rungs but does not fall completely off of
the ladder. Jamie O’Hara attempts to work his way back up the ladder but is met
by shots from CF Schulze.
Matt Ross: Jamie O’Hara can’t get back up that ladder
James Hughes: Good! Don’t!
Jamie O’Hara attempts again but is knocked back down by CF Schulze. Jamie
O’Hara climbs a few more rungs, realises it is futile and delivers a swift, yet
accurate shot right through the rung of the ladder to the exposed abdomen of CF
Schulze, forcing CF Schulze to double over.
Matt Ross: Jamie O’Hara found the key to get himself back to the top of the
ladder
Jamie O’Hara scurries to the top of the ladder before connecting with an
awkward, yet accurate superkick to the face of CF Schulze. As CF Schulze falls
he blindly rakes the eyes of Jamie O’Hara.
Matt Ross: Superkick from Jamie O’Hara
James Hughes: Yet both are left vulnerable
CF Schulze falls off the ladder, lands on his feet and stumbles back a few feet
into the ropes, he bounces off of the ropes, charges full pelt back at the
ladder and shoves it with all his might, forcing the ladder to topple over.
Jamie O’Hara realises this, but it is too late. Once Jamie O’Hara realises he
is toppling backwards he and the top of the ladder are already over the top rope
and he falls STRAIGHT THROUGH THE COMMENTARY TABLE! The table explodes on
impact with a shard of the table barely missing the head of Matt Ross as he
shoots by into the crowd.
Matt Ross: Lucky I moved out of the way!
James Hughes: Indeed
Cristy Madison: Jamie O’Hara has been eliminated. Here is your winner of the
Brawl For It All Match, CF SCHULZE!
Matt Ross: What a tumble Jamie O’Hara just took, that ladder was incredibly
tall and he fell straight through our table in front of us
James Hughes: There is literally nothing left of it other than a pile of
rubble. It shattered upon impact
Matt Ross: So, CF Schulze wins the Brawl For It All and will move on to The
Ultimate Showdown to challenge the World Champion, whoever that may be after
tonight’s main event between Dean James and Richard Garcia
CF Schulze gets to his feet slowly, the referee lifts his hand in the air in
victory and CF Schulze comes to the realisation that he has won the Brawl For
It All. A wide grin comes across the face of CF Schulze as he yanks his hand
away from the referee.
James Hughes: This was an incredibly well contested match, as was to be
expected. But in the end CF Schulze walks out the victor
CF Schulze sets the toppled over ladder back up in the centre of the ring and
climbs to the top. Once at the top CF Schulze sits on the top of the ladder and
simply stares out into the crowd with one arm up in the air in victory as the
scene fades to black.

The scene opens up
backstage as we see Nate Williams standing next to Richard Garcia who currently
has his hands clenched and rolls his wrists to prepare himself for the coming
battle.
Nate Williams: So Richard, in just mere moments you will step up to that ring
to take part in your biggest match to date in a match against your friend and
teacher in Dean James for the World Championship. Do you mind if I get a few
quick words before you head out there?
Richard Garcia: Sure, but make them quick
Nate Williams: No worries. The first and most obvious question; how do you feel
right now about stepping out for the biggest match of your career
Richard Garcia: Nervous, plain and simple. Thousands of people will be watching
me take on arguably one of the best to grace the squared circle in Dean James
and Dean James himself will be watching me, waiting to see what I can bring to
the table. But the most important person to me that will be watching is my
father, Eddie Garcia from a comfy lounge chair up in heaven, being hand fed
grapes by beautiful angels as he watches me compete for the World Championship
Nate Williams: And how do you think your father would feel about you stepping
out for a World Championship match?
Richard Garcia: He would be the proudest father around, I am sure and if he was
here he will ensure that I knew that. However, I am sure he would be prouder if
I happen to win the World Championship tonight. He will be watching over me, I
do not want to let him down tonight
Nate Williams: Dean James has been World Champion for the longest time in UWF
history. What makes you the man to be able to dethrone Dean James?
Richard Garcia: I cannot answer that until I dethrone him. But if you need an
answer it is quite simple, I am determined and I am sure every other challenger
that fell to the might of Dean James was determined to but there is no other
reason why I can be the man to dethrone Dean James other than the fact that I
know Dean James quite well, but I am sure all his other challenges have done
their homework also. What will put me above and beyond is what I do in the
squared circle, if I happen to be the better man tonight I will walk out as
World Champion and that’s exactly what I plan on being, the better man.
However, there is every chance that Dean James can be the better man tonight
and retain. We will soon find out, won’t we?
Suddenly ‘Live To Win’ by Paul Stanley hits, this is the cue for Richard Garcia
to head up the stairs and be prepared to head through the entrance curtains.
Richard Garcia: Well, that is my cue
Nate Williams: Good luck, Richard
Richard Garcia: Thanks, Nate
With that Richard Garcia heads up the steps and waits behind the entrance
curtain for his cue to burst through the entrance curtains and embrace the
awaiting, screaming crowd in attendance.
The crowd get to their feet to await the man that is about to enter through the
entrance curtains. Smoke billows through the entrance curtain and out onto the
stage. The lights are dim and with every guitar riff during the first verse the
lights flash in unison.
"Frustrated, degraded, down before you're done"
"Rejection, depression, can't get what you want"
"You ask me how I make my way"
"You ask me everywhere and why"
"You hang on every word I say"
"But the truth sounds like a lie"
"LIVE TO WIN!"
As soon as the song kicks in Richard Garcia bursts through the entrance
curtains to an uproar from the crowd. The lights continue to flash in unison
with the guitar riffs. Richard Garcia screams to the heavens above with
excitement and then makes his way down the ramp, slapping the hands of the fans
as he passes by.
Matt Ross: Here we go, we our moments away from our main event contest
James Hughes: This is Richard Garcia’s grandest battle to date as he challenges
Dean James for the World Championship
Matt Ross: Richard Garcia has been undefeated for months on end
James Hughes: Yes, but that means little to nothing when he steps into the ring
with the current reigning World Champion
Once Richard Garcia reaches the bottom of the ramp he rushes towards the ring
and slides into the ring before climbing up to the nearest turnbuckle and
spreading his arms out, eagle-winged and screaming in excitement.
Richard Garcia jumps off of the turnbuckle and pumps himself up whilst waiting
for his opponent to enter the ring.
‘Miseria Cantare (The Beginning)’ by AFI begins to play.
The lights slowly fade out and with every drum beat the lights flash, lighting
up the darkened arena for a brief few seconds before fading out once more. The
crowd looks up at the ramp, virtually silent, waiting for what is about to
come.
After the first set of drum beats a chant begins in the song, the lights
continue to flash on and off to every drum, lighting the arena with each drum
beat.
‘Love…..your hate…..your…..faith lost…..’
‘You…..are now…..one…..of us…..’
‘Love…..your hate…..your…..faith lost…..’
‘You…..are now…..one…..of us…..’
Once the chants stop the song slowly transitions into ‘The Antidote’ by Story
Of The Year and the crowd comes to the realization who is making their
entrance, it is none other than the World Champion, ‘The Lost Legend’ Dean
James.
Cristy Madison: From Victoria, Australia, weighing two hundred and thirty
pounds, he is the current reigning World Champion, DEAN JAMES!
Matt Ross: And here is the current reigning World Champion, Dean James
Some fans jeer for the heel that is Dean James whereas others cheer for the
legendary wrestling figure that is Dean James. Smoke begins to billow from the
entrance curtains, as usual, and from behind the entrance curtains comes 'The
Lost Legend' Dean James through the smoke. Dean James sticks his arms out, eagle
winged, out to the side and tilts his head back and soaks in the crowd's
reaction to him, he then brings his arms forward and crosses them over each
other before walking down to the ring.
James Hughes: Here stands the longest reigning World Champion in UWF history
Dean James walks slowly and pompously down the ramp. Several fans on either
side attempt to slap the hand of Dean James or pat him on the shoulder and grab
his attention, however Dean James will have none of it, he merely ignores them
as he continues to walk down the entrance ramp.
Matt Ross: Dean James is awfully confidence considering the match that is about
to unfold
James Hughes: Don’t excuse that as arrogance though, he may be confident but he
knows what he is getting into tonight and knows he is in for a challenge, he
made that perfectly clear at the top end of the pay-per-view
Dean James slides the World Championship into the ring and then slides himself
in after it. He grabs the World Championship and stands up in the middle of the
ring.
UWF World Championship
Dean James vs. Richard Garcia
Matt Ross: The crowd is electric for this match, I feel we are in for quite the
show
James Hughes: This is the first time these two have squared off against one
another on a main event stage, they are sure to put on one hell of a show
Both Dean James and Richard Garcia shake each other’s hands in the centre of
the ring before backing up into a corner of the ring and circling the ring,
looking for the best opportunity to strike the opponent. Both men dive in head
first into the centre of the ring and lock up for a test of strength, Dean
James delivers a swift knee to the abdomen of Richard Garcia before the test of
strength can even get underway before floating behind Richard Garcia and grabbing
Richard Garcia around the waist.
James Hughes: Typical of Dean James to float behind the opponent and lock the
waists for the coming German Suplex
Dean James lifts Richard Garcia high into the air and delivers a German Suplex,
however Richard Garcia lands on his feet and quickly locks in a Sleeper Hold on
Dean James. Dean James realises that he is in trouble and snaps Richard Garcia
over his shoulder with a Snapmre before locking in a Sleeper Hold of his own on
the seated Richard Garcia.
James Hughes: Great back and forth flow from these two
Matt Ross: They really do know each other quite well
Richard Garcia lifts his knee up and delivers a swift knee strike to the head
of Dean James who rests his head on Richard Garcia’s shoulder whilst locking in
the Sleeper Hold.
James Hughes: What tremendous flexibility shown by Richard Garcia
Matt Ross: I bet you can’t stretch your leg up towards your head, right James?
James Hughes: Sure I can
Matt Ross: Go on then, knee yourself in the head
James Hughes: Yeah, no thanks
Richard Garcia spring to his feet and delivers a Dropkick directly to the face
of the stumbling Dean James. Dean James stumbles back into the ropes; Richard
Garcia shoves Dean James against the ropes before whipping him towards the
opposite ropes. Dean James bounces off of the ropes and charges back towards
Richard Garcia, Richard Garcia Arm Drags Dean James but Dean James lands on his
feet and delivers an Arm Drag of his own to Richard Garcia, close enough to the
ropes to send Richard Garcia through the middle rope and awkwardly down to the
outside of the ring.
James Hughes: Dean James outsmarted Richard Garcia right there
Dean James turns around to face Richard Garcia on the outside of the ring just
in time to be tripped up by the ready Richard Garcia. Richard Garcia quickly
jumps up onto the apron and waits for Dean James to get to his feet. Dean James
slowly gets to his feet, Richard Garcia holds onto the ropes and springs
himself up onto the top rope before leaping off and connecting with a
Springboard Bulldog to Dean James.
Matt Ross: Richard Garcia got some great height from that leap
Richard Garcia quickly gets back to his feet and charges towards the ropes, he
bounces off of the ropes and charges back towards Dean James before connecting
with a running Shooting Star Press which lands directly on the sternum of Dean
James.
Matt Ross: WOW!
Richard Garcia goes for the pinfall attempt.
James Hughes: 1…2…Kickout from Dean James just after the two count
Matt Ross: This match is moving so fast, it’s hard to keep up
Richard Garcia gets to his feet and lifts Dean James to his feet only for Dean
James to shove Richard Garcia towards the ropes. Richard Garcia bounces off of
the ropes and charges back at Dean James who also charges towards Richard
Garcia and connects with the Buisaku Hurracanrana (Buisaku Knee followed by
Hurracanrana).
Matt Ross: Wait! Isn’t that a patterned Richard Garcia move?
James Hughes: Sure is, it seems Dean James has been doing his studies after all
Dean James goes for the pinfall attempt.
Matt Ross: 1…2…Kickout from Richard Garcia just after the two count
Dean James quickly begins to stomp away at the sternum of Richard Garcia in an
attempt to keep Richard Garcia grounded. It seems to work as Richard Garcia is
slow to return to his feet after the onslaught. As Richard Garcia gets to his
feet Dean James charges at the ropes, he bounces off of the ropes and charges
back at Richard Garcia who is on his hands and knees. Dean James flips in
mid-air and drives his back against the back of Richard Garcia, rolling onto
his feet and never really losing momentum. Dean James then charges towards the
opposite ropes, bounces off of the ropes and charges back at Richard Garcia who
still remains on his hands and knees and uses Richard Garcia’s back as a step.
Dean James steps up onto Richard Garcia’s back, flips forward and connects with
another Senton right on the back of Richard Garcia. Dean James rolls Richard
Garcia through and pins Richard Garcia’s shoulders to the mat.
Matt Ross: 1…2…Kickout
Dean James lifts Richard Garcia to his feet and knees him in the gut, forcing
Richard Garcia to double over. Dean James then springs towards the ropes,
bounces off of the ropes and charges back at Richard Garcia and goes for a
clothesline. However, Richard Garcia quickly springs upright and connects with
a Stunner. Dean James’ jaw connects with the shoulder of Richard Garcia and
Dean James springs backwards as a result, landing back first on the mat.
Matt Ross: There is absolutely no end to this back and forth action. Both these
men are on one level right now; HYPER!
James Hughes: We are witnessing a World title match between friends, both
willing to do whatever it takes to become World Champion, if they aren’t
willing to put everything in to become World Champion they don’t deserve to be
competing for the World Championship, whether they be champion or challenger
Richard Garcia gets to his feet and heads over to the fallen Dean James, he
goes to pick up Dean James but Dean James throws him into the ropes. Richard
Garcia falls neck first on the second rope and Dean James quickly springs to
his feet. Dean James charges towards the ropes, he bounces off of the ropes and
charges back at Richard Garcia as he rests on the second rope and connects with
a Hesitation Dropkick right to the upper region of the spine of Richard Garcia,
forcing Richard Garcia’s neck down upon the middle rope in a choking fashion.
Dean James goes to cover Richard Garcia but Richard Garcia manages to roll
through for a pinfall of his own.
James Hughes: 1…2…NO! Kickout from Dean James
Matt Ross: Richard Garcia caught Dean James off guard with that roll-up pinfall
attempt; he could have had Dean James with that surprise attack
James Hughes: Unfortunately for Richard Garcia though it wasn’t to be, not
quite yet anyway
Both men get to their feet and stare each other down from within the ring. The
crowd applauds each man’s efforts as the two continue to stare each other down.
Matt Ross: This match has been absolutely amazing so far, constant action,
highlight after highlight after highlight, and we are only a small portion
through this match it seems
James Hughes: Yep, it seems neither man is losing a step so far, but one man
has to break at some point and whoever manages to stand tall over that broken
man will take the upper hand in this match and have the greater chance of
success. It’s all a matter of setting the pieces up in the right spot to set up
a tactic for victory, whoever sets the pieces up first will have the advantage
in this match
Both men shake each other’s hand to the elation from the crowd before locking
up once again. A proper test of strength begins now and Richard Garcia manages
to get the upper hand over the crafty veteran in Dean James, forcing Dean James
to drop down a little as his wrists bend and his arms are forced downward. Dean
James manages to, however, gain the advantage and bring Richard Garcia down to
one knee but Richard Garcia quickly bounces back. Before Richard Garcia can get
the upper hand Dean James floats behind Richard Garcia and wraps his arms
around the waist of Richard Garcia, Richard Garcia scouts this and elbows Dean
James in the gut before connecting with an Asai DDT.
Matt Ross: WOW!
James Hughes: Shades of the legendary Ultimo Dragon with that move
Richard Garcia grabs both legs of Dean James and goes for the cover.
Matt Ross: 1…2…NO!
Richard Garcia springs to his feet and charges towards the ropes, he bounces
off of the ropes and charges back at Dean James as Dean James reaches a seated
position and Richard Garcia connects with a running kick right to the sternum
of Dean James.
Matt Ross: Oh! You could hear that ring around the Joe Louis Arena
Richard Garcia goes for the cover.
Matt Ross: 1…2…NO!
Richard Garcia springs back to his feet once more and charges towards the
ropes, he bounces off of the ropes and charges back towards the seated Dean
James and connects with another running kick to the sternum of Dean James.
However, Dean James manages to catch the leg of Richard Garcia before it
connects and stands to his feet as Richard Garcia hobbles on one leg before
connecting with a Dragon Screw.
James Hughes: Dean James may have snapped the leg of Richard Garcia with that
move
Dean James keeps a hold of the leg of Richard Garcia and quickly locks in the
Boston Crab on Richard Garcia before Richard Garcia can realise what is
happening. Dean James wrenches back on the move as Richard Garcia screams in
pain.
James Hughes: Dean James has this locked in tight; Richard Garcia is going to
have great difficulty breaking this
Matt Ross: And look at the contortion of Richard Garcia, lucky he is reasonably
flexible
James Hughes: Bah, that’s how I stretch every morning
Matt Ross: With someone wrenching back on your legs?
James Hughes: No, r-tard
Dean James continues to wrench backwards but cannot bring Richard Garcia’s leg
back any further, so Dean James legs go of a leg, turns the move into a Single
Leg Boston Crab and grabs a hold of Richard Garcia’s head with his other arm,
turning the move into a modified STF type move.
James Hughes: Dean James now has himself bridged on top of Richard Garcia
Matt Ross: Richard Garcia is contorted in a bad way, Dean James is going to
break Richard Garcia in half with this move
Richard Garcia begins to get desperate to break out of the move so he begins to
drive stiff, hard forearm shots to the face of Dean James, making Dean James
regret bridging back. Richard Garcia then uses both hands to grabs a hold of
Dean James around the neck and choke him out with a legal, Sleeper Hold-styled
choke hold.
James Hughes: We have a stalemate situation here, the first to tap out or pass
out will lose this match unless either one of them break out
Dean James decides to let go of Richard Garcia’s head and return to the
double-legged Boston Crab, but as Dean James changes his position Richard
Garcia uses this to break out of the Boston Crab. Richard Garcia springs to his
feet and charges towards the ropes, a little slower than usual.
James Hughes: It seems the time Richard Garcia was locked in the Boston Crab
from Dean Jams really wore him down
Richard Garcia bounces off of the ropes and charges back towards Dean James.
Matt Ross: Could this be that moment you spoke of earlier? Is Richard Garcia
the broken man?
James Hughes: Potentially
Richard Garcia attempts a clothesline but Dean James ducks under it. Dean James
charges towards the ropes as Richard Garcia charges towards the opposite ropes.
Both men bounce off of the ropes and charges back at each other before both
going for the same move; a Cross Body and connecting with one another in
mid-air in the centre of the ring. Both men crumble down to the mat and lie in
a beaten heap in the centre of the ring.
James Hughes: Stalemate
Matt Ross: Both men were thinking the same thing
James Hughes: That’s what you are going to get from time to time when both men
have similar styles and similar move sets and know each other so well
Each man stirs in the centre of the ring as the crowd cheer them both on, a completely
50-50 split crowd.
Matt Ross: There is no clear favourite amongst these fans, they are split
rather evenly down the line between the two
James Hughes: A fan of Dean James or a fan of Richard Garcia, both men deserve
a cheer for their efforts so far and I am sure these fans realise and
appreciate their efforts so far, no matter who they are rooting for
Both men begin to get to their feet ever so slowly. They both use each other to
get to their feet before realising that they are using one another as support
posts. Once the realisation sinks in they both begin trading blows to each
other, striking in various regions of the upper body and head. Dean James
shoves Richard Garcia away to gain a bit of distance between himself and
Richard Garcia. Richard Garcia charges at Dean James but as he does Dean James
grabs him around the waist and connects with an Over The Head Belly To Belly
Suplex, lifting Richard Garcia high into the air and forcing him crashing down
to the mat.
Matt Ross: What elevation Dean James got from that move
Dean James lifts up the fallen Richard Garcia before delivering a swift knee to
the abdomen of Richard Garcia. Dean James wraps his arm around Richard Garcia’s
head before connecting with a Snap Suplex, keeping the head of Richard Garcia
locked in.

James Hughes: Yep, Dean James is looking for the Three Faces Of Fear Suplex
combo
Dean James keeps his arms locked around the waist of Richard Garcia as he gets
to his feet and locks Richard Garcia in with a Full Nelson before connecting
with a devastating Dragon Suplex, letting go of the move as Richard Garcia
crashes down to the mat.
James Hughes: Usually Dean James keeps the Full Nelson portion of that Dragon
Suplex locked in and pins the opponent’s shoulders to the mat. What could Dean
James be looking for here?
Dean James begins to scale the nearest ropes.
Matt Ross: I know exactly what he is looking for, the Five Star Performance
Dean James reaches the top rope and dives off and goes for the Five Star
Performance (Frog Splash) however Richard Garcia rolls inward towards the ropes
as Dean James crashes down hard onto the mat.
Matt Ross: Richard Garcia rolls out of the way
James Hughes: Notice that he rolls inward towards the ropes so Dean James has a
lesser chance of connecting
Richard Garcia quickly springs to his feet and climbs the ropes himself.
Matt Ross: Richard Garcia is climbing the ropes now
James Hughes: Perhaps he is looking to be reborn with the Phoenix Revolution
Richard Garcia reaches the top rope and goes for the Phoenix Revolution
(Phoenix Splash) before coming down right on top of the fallen Dean James.
Matt Ross: And Richard Garcia connects
Richard Garcia goes for the cover.
James Hughes: 1…2…3! NO!
Matt Ross: NO WAY! NO WAY!
James Hughes: Dean James kicked out of the Phoenix Revolution!
Matt Ross: That’s Richard Garcia’s biggest move, what does he resort to now?
James Hughes: Whatever he can muster, he has quite the arsenal of moves to rely
on
Richard Garcia gets to his feet, a little stunned by the outcome but smart
enough to not waste time over it. Richard Garcia gets back to his feet and goes
to lift Dean James to his feet. However Dean James breaks free, kicks Richard
Garcia in the gut and connects with the Lights Out (Codebreaker delivered under
the chin) before going for the cover.
Matt Ross: 1…2…3! NO! Richard Garcia kicks out!
Dean James quickly grabs the arm of Richard Garcia and goes to lock in the
Tribute To The Crippler (Crippler Crossface) but Richard Garcia quickly rolls
out of it, knowing he is in danger. Both men get to their feet and charges
towards the ropes, they bounce off of the ropes and charge back towards one
another, Richard Garcia goes for a clothesline, however Dean James connects
with a basement Dropkick right to the abdomen of Richard Garcia, ducking under
the clothesline but connecting with the Dropkick. Richard Garcia doubles over
and Dean James uses this opportunity to go for the Box Office Smash (Double
Underhook Tombstone Piledriver).
James Hughes: DEAN JAMES IS GOING FOR THE BOX OFFICE SMASH!
Dean James lifts Richard Garcia up and goes to drop Richard Garcia head first
down on the mat; however Richard Garcia manages to deliver swift knees to the
head of Dean James in mid-air, forcing Dean James to break the move. As Richard
Garcia falls he catches Dean James off guard, kicks him swiftly in the gut and
connects with the Reign Of Fire (Lightning Spiral) before going for the cover.
James Hughes: 1…2…3!
Matt Ross: RICHARD GARCIA HAS DONE IT! HE HAS DEFEATED DEAN JAMES AND BECOME
THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION!
The bell rings to end the match.
Cristy Madison: Here is your winner and NEW UWF World Champion, RICHARD GARCIA!
‘Live To Win’ by Paul Stanley hits as the crowd uproars in cheers, several of
them standing to their feet and applauding both men and their efforts and
applauding the fact that Richard Garcia is the new World Champion.
Matt Ross: I can’t believe it! After working so hard to reach this point
Richard Garcia has manages to knock off the man who taught him a lot of what he
knew and has become the World Champion for the first time in his career
James Hughes: He put in so much hard work and that hard work has paid off here
tonight
Richard Garcia lies in a beaten heap on the mat, a few inches away from Dean
James. The referee helps Richard Garcia to his feet and hands Richard Garcia
the UWF World Championship. Richard Garcia looks at the World Championship with
a stunned look on his face and asks ‘What? Did I win?’ and the referee responds
with ‘Yep, you’re the new World Champion’. Suddenly it all sinks in, Richard
Garcia clutches the World Championship in his hands, simply staring down at the
belt, tears rolling from his eyes as the emotions set in.
Matt Ross: Richard Garcia is cracking up in emotion, and who can blame him, he
just achieved his life-long goal of becoming World Champion
Suddenly Richard Garcia walks over to the edge of the ring and asks for a
microphone.
James Hughes: It seems Richard Garcia has a few words to say
Cristy Madison hands Richard Garcia her microphone. Richard Garcia walks back
to the centre of the ring and then looks up to the heavens above.
Richard Garcia: I DID IT, DAD! I FINALLY DID IT! I HOPE I MADE YOU PROUD!
With that Richard Garcia drops the microphone and drops to his knees and hugs
the World Championship to his chest, simply soaking in everything that has
happened and basking in the moment.
Suddenly ‘Funk 50’ by Joe Walsh hits.
Matt Ross: WOAH! Wait a minute!
James Hughes: That’s Shaker Jones’ music
Richard Garcia gets to his feet and looks around the arena with his newly won
World Championship over his shoulder, on-guard, focused and ready, looking for
Shaker Jones to appear from within the crowd to attack him from behind.
‘Up here, sunshine’
The camera pans up to the entrance ramp where we see Shaker Jones with a
microphone in hand.
Shaker Jones: Now I have been saying that I may cash this bad boy in at Cross
Roads
Shaker Jones holds up his Stairway To Heaven briefcase as he walks down the
entrance ramp.
Shaker Jones: But I never said I was going to smash this briefcase over the
back of your skull and take the cheap route towards winning the World
Championship. I have worked too damn long and too damn hard for there to be an
asterisk next to my name in the World Championship history books
Shaker Jones steps into the ring.
Shaker Jones: So prepare yourself, for your first title defence is RIGHT NOW!
Shaker Jones hands the Stairway To Heaven briefcase over to the referee and the
bell is rung.
Matt Ross: So, it seems we are going to have an impromptu title match right
here
James Hughes: Directly after Richard Garcia defeated Dean James in a had fought
encounter to win the World Championship he has to now defend it several minutes
after winning it against a fresh and determined Shaker Jones
Matt Ross: This doesn’t look good for Richard Garcia
UWF Championship
Richard Garcia vs. Shaker Jones
Richard Garcia readies himself for his first title defence as World Champion,

Matt Ross: 1…2…Not quite. Shaker Jones kicks out just after the two count
Richard Garcia gets to his feet and with desperate attempt, moves around the
fallen Shaker Jones and connects with stomps to any portion of Shaker Jones’
body that he can stomp into the mat. Once Richard Garcia is standing behind
Shaker Jones’ head he shoves Shaker Jones up into a seated position and locks
in a seated Sleeper Hold in on Shaker Jones.
Matt Ross: Richard Garcia has the Sleeper Hold locked in tight
Shaker Jones manages to wrench Richard Garcia’s hands apart and flips him over
so Richard Garcia is seated virtually in Shaker Jones’ lap.
James Hughes: Obviously not tight enough
Shaker Jones goes to lock in a Sleeper Hold of his own but Richard Garcia grabs
Shaker Jones around the neck, lifts his body off of the mat and slams back
down, bringing Shaker Jones’ jaw crashing into the shoulder of Richard Garcia
with a seated Stunner. Shaker Jones bounces back and whiplashes his neck
against the mat. Richard Garcia goes for the cover.

Matt Ross: 1…2…Kickout from Shaker Jones
Richard Garcia gets to his feet and lifts Shaker Jones to his feet, blood pours
from the nose of Shaker Jones.

Neckbreaker from Richard Garcia
James Hughes: Either way, Shaker Jones’ nose is likely broken
Richard Garcia backs himself into the corner of the ring with Shaker Jones’
head in grasp, he climbs to the top of the rope and goes for the Silence The

connect but Shaker Jones once again counters and goes to connect with a Flip Powerbomb,
however Richard Garcia connects with a Stunner mid-fall which back Shaker Jones
up into the corner of the ring.
Matt Ross: Richard Garcia connects with the Silence The Caophony, kind of
James Hughes: It was a modified version by way of countering a counter with the
Stunner, but eliminate Shaker Jones’ attempt at a counter and you have the full
motion of the movement
Shaker Jones emerges from the corner of the ring and right into the grasp of
Richard Garcia who connects with the Reign Of Fire (Lightning Spiral) to the
elation of the crowd.
James Hughes: Wait! No pinfall attempt? Cover the man, Garcia!
Rather than covering Shaker Jones, Richard Garcia begins to scale the ropes.

Matt Ross: He was only helping you to your feet
James Hughes: Shaker Jones may feel a little embarrassed about having to be
helped to his feet
Matt Ross: Why? That was one hell of a tough contest. He shouldn’t let pride
get in his way
Shaker Jones stares at Richard Garcia as Richard Garcia extends his hand out to
Shaker Jones and tells him to ‘Shake my hand…like a man’. Shaker Jones looks
down at Richard Garcia’s hand, a little hesitant to shake Richard Garcia’s hand
before accepting the friendly gesture. Both men shake one another’s hand before
Richard Garcia lifts Shaker Jones’ arm in the arm, Dean James falls suit as he
lifts Richard Garcia’s hand into the air in victory as all three men stand tall
in the centre of the ring as the crowd applauds the efforts these three men

With that the scene fades to black as Shaker Jones, Dean James and the newly
crowned World Champion, Richard Garcia stands tall in the centre of the ring as
the crowd applauds the three of them. The scene fades into the UWF logo before
once again fading to black.
