Thomas Simon: MPW NATION IT IS TIME FOR AFTER SHOCK!!!!!!!!! WE ARE LIVE IN THE PAULEY PAVILION!!! JUST LISTEN TO THIS CROWD!!!
Bob Herman: This crowd sure is unbelievable Tommy Boy……I have never seen such an electric crowd ever!
Thomas Simon: And what a show we have lined up for you fans……It will be Total Nonstop Action from the get go…..Let’s get started….wait a minute
[“Money” by Everlast blasts as Stephen Hale struts out to a chorus of boos from the crowd. He smirks as he walks around the ring and grabs a mic from Honey Winters. He slowly climbs the steps and gets in the ring to more boos.]
Stephen Hale:MPW NATION!!! I would like to personally welcome you all to After Shock!
[The crowd releases collective and resounding boo. Hale's cheesy grin doesn't even flinch.]
Stephen Hale:Yes yes. Tonight will see a great multitude of potentially amazing contests! Speaking for the entire Hale family I truly hope you all...
[Stephen Hale is immediately cut off by "Cult of Personality" by Set the Charge. He looks around in confusion as both the theme and video on the titantron have never been seen before. As the song's lyrics begin, a man wearing black track pants and a solid black zip up hoody walks out with his arms out to his sides and his hood up. In one hand he holds a microphone and he glides the other over outstretched hands of fans. As he reaches the end of the ramp he lowers his arms and slowly goes up the ring steps, eying Hale from under the shroud of his hood. As he steps between the ropes, the music fades out and the only sound is the crowd's cheering of the fact that someone cut off Hale.]
Stephen Hale:Who the hell are you to interrupt me? Huh? Who do you think you are?
Man: Who am I? Oh Stevey...don't be so naive.
Stephen Hale:McNair? Is that you? Lift that hood you son of a bitch.
Man: McNair? Well, kind of.
Stephen Hale:Stop playing games Anthony. I know that's you! Only you would be so disrespectful as to interrupt me.
[The man looks at Stephen for a moment before flipping back his hood revealing himself to be a blond and around twenty pounds trimmer Anthony McNair. Stephen jumps back in surprise and appears as if he's seen a ghost.]
Anthony McNair: What's the matter Stevey? I didn't surprise you did I? You surely know who I am now. Don't you?
[Stephen holds his mic up and speaks in a stuttering voice of surprised fear.]
Stephen Hale:You're not Mc...Mc..McNair. I know that! You are...but you can't be...you're....who's fucking with me right now?!
Anthony McNair: No one's fucking with you Stevey. You aren't loosing your mind and you are definitely right when you say I'm not McNair and honestly, I never have been.
[Stephen dons a look of complete disbelief.]
Anthony: Confused? I know you are so allow me to seat myself and let your "Jesus Christ of Professional Wrestling" speak a little gospel.
[Ignoring the stunned Stephen, Anthony turns and seats himself on the top turnbuckle. He dons a sideways grin as he speaks.]
Anthony McNair: Almost a year ago now, a young twenty three year old and his wife stepped into a company named Extreme anarchy Wrestling of the now cancelled G-Fed Television Network. He walked into that company as a member of a stable determined to make a mark. Soon after that stable folded and that left a simple team of two who quickly captured Tag Team gold. That team consisted of our young man and Kuk Killswitch. Almost immediately after, they were offered an ultimatum; drop the tag titles and move on to bigger things in the singles division or keep the belts. They chose to move on and soon the young man won the Impact Title. Fast forward another Impact title and a TV Title and you come to the day the G-Fed network folded. It wasn't lacking funding or anything. It was simply bought out by a certain young member of a wealthy family. That youngster was Stephen Hale. Why did he buy the network you ask? Well it's quite simple. He wanted to put our young man out of a job for something that happened ten years before. That young man was TJ Pain. That young man was me.
[The crowd erupts at the sound of this news and Stephen almost faints. Anthony, now known to be TJ, jumps off of the turnbuckle and walks towards Hale backing him into the corner. TJ looks down at Stephen and speaks again.]
TJ Pain:What's the matter Stephen? Are you surprised by all of this? Are you surprised that all this time you haven't been dealing with that chubby little retard Anthony we went to high school with? Or is it you simply can not believe that you were stupid enough to one, actually believe that little Tony from school made something of himself and that two, he found a manager in TJ Pain who had taken his early forced retirement hard and had gotten fat and weak? Well I hate to burst your bubble, Stevey, but I am back and stronger than anyone has ever seen me before and the first thing I'm going to do is kick your ass!
[TJ raises his fist but Stephen finally finds his voice. it's shrill and squeaky but still his.]
Stephen Hale:STOP! If you hit me, I swear he will make sure you never see her again!
[Stephen points to the tron and TJ turns his head to see Taufik and Jamal standing on either side of a tied up Lacey. She looks scared and her body is covered with bruises and healing wounds. TJ walks away and roars at the tron. This brings a chuckle to Taufik. Stephen speaks again behind the seething TJ Pain.]
Stephen Hale:That’s exactly what I thought…….You try to act big and bad but in the end you are pussy whipped just like the rest…..You’re not a real man like Taufik! In fact……Taufik why don’t you use Lacey as your pre-match sparring partner?
[TJ’s face grows worried as he yells.]
TJ Pain:WAIT! DON’T YOU HURT HER AGAIN YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!
[Taufik winds back his hand as you hear a slight scream from Lacey.]
TJ Pain:NO ROXXANNE!!!
Stephen Hale:Wait...what? Did you just? The whole time that’s been your wife Roxxanne?? Ha ha ha oh this is good………this is real good!!!
[Hale steps out of the ring and slowly walks down the ring steps.]
Stephen Hale:So what was your plan in all of this? To come down and beat me up and go save her like a dumbass knight in shining armour? Well look you just had your moment in the sun…….TJ Pain……Anthony McNair….regardless you will still be the same waste of space that I have always known you to be!
[“Money” by Everlast blasts as TJ Pain looks on angered and determined in the ring. The tron shows Taufik nodding to Jamal as he quickly covers who we now know to be Roxxanne with a cloth across her mouth. She is seen squirming for a second then loses consciousness. TJ is irate in the ring as Stephen Hale smirks at him from the top of the ramp.
Thomas Simon: WOW! What a way to start After Shock!!
Bob Herman: So Anthony McNair was TJ Pain this whole time???
Thomas Simon: It looks that way Bobo….
Bob Herman: Huh…….who would’ve guessed it.
Thomas Simon: Fans let’s get to our opening match shall we?
[The scene fades up as we “I Don’t Like” playing from the speakers and Rye Payne makes his way out to the ring.]
Honey Winters: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, standing in the ring, from Detroit, MI, weighing in tonight at 190 lbs… Rye Payne!
[He climbs in the ring and puts his arms up in the air as the crowd lets out a chorus of boos.]
[“Lies Greed Misery” By Linkin park hits, for 10 seconds nothing happens then Red White and Blue strobe lights come on as Ian Andrews makes his way to the ring, as he gets in the ring Ian takes the Microphone from the Ring announcer and announces himself.] <[> Ian: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, from Boston, Mass. he is the second Olympic medalist in Pro wrestling history, and a hell of a lot better looking then anyone here, he is Ian Andrews.
[He drops the microphone as the crowd settles and awaits the match to start. The two look each other in the eye when the referee yells of the bell and the match begins.]
Bob Herman: Both men are hungry here, ladies and gentlemen; this should be awesome to see these two young bloods battle it out!
Thomas Simon: You’re right there, Bobo!
[Both men go into a lock-up and battle back and forth until they both let go of the hold. Neither man can gain the momentum. Rye exchanges his arm out to Ian for a strength test and he replies by giving both hands. They battle for a bit until the taller Ian Andrews gains more momentum. Pain is sent down to the mat slowly and is now on his back trying to gain the strength to get up and fight back, but he can’t.]
Thomas Simon: Neither of these guys are the biggest in MPW, but they are showing some strength now!
[Ian unlocks the hold and turns right into an armbar. He grips the arm and squeezes it. Rye screams out in pain. Pain is in the advantage, however, because he is so close to the ropes, that he puts his leg up and it reaches the bottom rope so he can be released of the bar. Mason pulls Andrews off of Rye and sends him back a couple feet so Rye can get some time to stand up.]
Thomas Simon: They look sort of angry at each other.
Bob Herman: They’re getting mad now!
[Ian uses the ropes to stand as he clutches his right arm in pain. He circles around the ring a bit just to try to get away from Andrews who, at that moment, walks towards Pain. Rye realizes what’s coming and he moves his upper body between the second and third rope so Andrews can’t touch him. The referee pulls him off of Rye and tells him to knock it off. Suddenly, from behind, Rye plays possum and charges at Andrews and connects with the Lou Thesz press. Relentlessly raining down fist after fist. He gets up and the crowd boos and cheers, not sure of what to do. Andrews tries to recuperate and gets a quick glimpse before seeing the sole of Rye’s boot going right into his nose. Sending him flying backwards and hitting the mat.]
Bob Herman: I guess this match was more intense than I had thought!
[Rye is getting pumped up. He waits for Andrews to stand. Once he does, he ricochets off the ropes and tries to land a hurricanrana, but is caught at the top and is sent down, back and head first, into the mat by way of power bomb from Ian Andrews. The crowd pops.]
Bob Herman: Wow… Back and forth, back and forth!
Thomas Simon: This could get annoying from how much it’s changing!
[Ian stands, groggily, and limps over to the corner and lounges back. He waits for his opponent to stand but is cut short from the amount of adrenaline in his body. He charges at Rye, who is on his hands and knees, and kicks him right in the abdomen. He flips over and starts to cough. Ian puts his arms up and people cheer, and people boo. He walks over to his opponent and picks him up in a DDT position. He lifts him up and lands a suplex that shakes the ring. He stands immediately and slaps on a dragon sleeper. Rye grimaces but will not give up.]
Bob Herman: Uh oh… This could be the end right here, bud!
Thomas Simon: I don’t know… It doesn’t look like Rye is too far gone yet!
[Rye swings his arms around trying to gain momentum and shift his opponent over so it’s easier for him to stand. As soon as he does, and it works, Ian moves around the body and locks in a front facelock. Pain flops right to the floor. The crowd is into it. It’s going somewhere and they can feel it as Rye looks like he gets a second wind and begins to stand up. Once they are to their feet, Pain lands a couple of guts punches and one uppercut that sends Andrews backwards to the ropes.]
Thomas Simon: Ouch! That hurt me…
[Rye charges but Andrews catches him and throws him to the outside apron. He lands a couple punches to make his opponent a little groggy. He spins him around so he’s facing the crowd. He climbs the ropes, and is now standing on the third rope in the center of both turnbuckles. He leaps and connects with The Andrews Effect to the outside onto the padding outside. Andrews immediately slides back into the ring and awaits the count as the crowd is popping from that huge move to the outside.
1... No movement at all shown from Rye Payne.
2... Ian begins to become aware of what’s going on.
3... Rye still has not moved, but Andrews is making his way to his knees.
4... Ian has made it to his knees and is now watching.
5... The crowd is sensing the end very vaguely.
6... Andrews gets a smile on his face.
7... The crowd grows more aware of the end.
8... Still no movement.
9... Andrews stands.
…
10!!
Honey Winters: Here is your winner by way of count out… Ian Andrews!!!
Thomas Simon: Wow!
Bob Herman: Wow is an understatement! That move to the outside… That was unheard of!!
Thomas Simon: Can you believe that… That was so epic! Great match. I cannot wait for what’s next!!
Honey Winters: this match is for the X-Core #1 contendership
[The beginning riffs of “Dead American” by Lars Friedeksen and the Bastards hit the P.A as black and red lights flash on the stage. Once the lyrics hit, Calista Vandal rushes onto stage as if she was in a mosh pit. She stops in her vest and sticks out her tongue while flipping the bird to the camera. She then heads to one ends of the stage and gives the bird. She then does the same to the other end before slam dancing her way to the center again. As the song continues she runs down giving out quick high fives. She gets to the bottom of the walkway and jumps the barricade and rolls around the fans, starting a bit of a pit. She then jumps up on the barricade and gives the bird to the camera as several fans follow suite. She hops off the barricade and jumps up onto the apron. She holds herself up with the ropes as she leans forward and gives the two finger salute. She jumps over the top rope and rushes her way to the top turnbuckle. She pulls off her vest and tosses it into the crowd before jumping off the turnbuckle and into the center of the ring.]
Honey Winters: And introducing first, from Salt Lake City Utah.... Calista Vandal!
["Living in a Dream" by Finger Eleven blasts through the loudspeakers. The crowd goes wild as Jordan bursts through the curtain. Yellow fireworks go off as Jordan stands atop the entrance ramp and raises his arms. Jordan walks down the entrance ramp and high fives fans along the way. Jordan steps through the ropes and as he does so, more yellow fireworks go off on top of the entrance ramp. Jordan goes to each of the turnbuckles and poses, with his arms in the air.]
Honey Winters: and her opponent, from Melbourne, Australia Jordan Storm!!!
[The bell rings as Vandal and Storm circle each other. Storm swings at Vandal and tries to hit her with a quick hard right but Vandal ducks under it and goes for a roundhouse kick but Storm is able to catch her leg and then hit her with a quick clothesline that sends Vandal down and keeps her down. He quickly picks her up before throwing her into the corner. He charges at her and jumps up and connects with a corner splash that sends Vandal falling straight down to the mat. Storm flips her over and goes for the quick pin! 1...2.Kickout! Vandal is able to easily kick out. Storm gets up and slowly picks her up before grabbing her around the head and then lifting her straight up in the air and holding her there for a few moments before dropping her on her back with a long stalling suplex.]
[He quickly climbs up to the top rope meanwhile she is still down and jumps off attempting a flying elbow drop but Vandal is barely able to move out of the way which sends Storm's elbow into the mat. He immediately grabs his shoulder in pain which gives Vandal the chance to get to her feet. As soon as Storm is able to make it to a vertical base he is quickly hit with a dropkick that sends him flying into the ropes and as he bounces back he is hit with a hurricanrana into a pin! 1...2..Kickout! ]
Thomas Simon: Vandal almost snuck a win by Jordan Storm in this impressive matchup between two up and comers in the MPW.
[Vandal wastes no time as she bounces off the ropes and then hits the downed Storm with an elbow drop of her own. She bounces back up to her feet as the fans begin to cheer her on. She climbs up to the top rope as she waits for Storm to make his way to his feet. As soon as he makes it to his feet and turns to face her she jumps off and connects with a missile dropkick to the head. Storm was able to barely get his arms up but it didn't help much as it sends him to the mat back first. Vandal pumps of the crowd and gets a huge ovation from the fans. Meanwhile Storm is trying to make it to his feet and is on all fours. Calista looks around before backing up and nailing him with the S.L.C. Punt! She just connected with a punt to the face of Storm! She immediately goes for the pin! 1...2...Kickout!]
Thomas Simon: Storm is somehow able to Kickout!
Bob Herman: Blah Blah Blah. Don't you ever say anything interesting Tommy boy?
[Calista sits up on her knees as she can't believe he kicked out. She gets to her feet and stomps on the fallen Storm a few times before once again climbing up to the top rope. This time she stands straight up as she begins to pump the crowd up before eventually jumping off with a 450 Frog Splash! Storm moves! Storm moved out of the way seconds before which sends Vandal crashing into the mat! The still down Storm throws his arm over Vandal for the pin! 1...2...Kickout! She kicks out! The crowd begins to cheer as they both slowly make their way to their feet at about the same time. Vandal tries to grab Storm and whip him into the ropes but Storm is able to reverse it sending her into the ropes and as she comes back he picks her up and slams her down hard on her back with a brutal spinebuster! He hooks her leg for the pin! 1...2..Kickout!]
Thomas Simon: She does it again! She somehow gets a shoulder up!
Bob Herman: is it just me or do you have like a hard-on for this girl? she doesn't even have a big rack or anything....
Thomas Simon: bob you need to get your mind out the gutter and start taking ur Viagra after our matches together.
Bob Herman: So it's true... you do like the whole emo gimmick....
[Storm wastes no time as he once again picks her up and this time irish whips her into the corner. He backs up into the opposite corner before charging at her and jumping at her with another corner splash but this time she gets a foot up which connects with Storm's stomach sending him reeling back. She charges at him and goes for a clothesline but he's able to duck under it, kick her in the stomach, and then drop her down with a DDT! Storm gets up as this time he pumps the crowd up as he senses he has taken full control of this match. As Vandal makes her way to her feet he kicks her in the stomach and then puts her beneath his legs. He then picks her up high over his head and holds her there for a few moments but before he is about to drop her down with the powerbombing she somehow wiggles free and drops down behind him. He quickly turns and before she knows what hits her Storm connects with Thunderstruck! He just connected with the superkick out of nowhere! He hooks her leg for the pin! 1...2...3!!! ]
Thomas Simon: He does it! Jordan Storm wins the match and becomes the number 1 contender to the X-Core Title!
Bob Herman: Awww... ur wittle crush didn't quite make the cut... oh well! Let’s get Bliss or Biguns out here... now there are two women that have puppies you can get lost in...
Thomas Simon: Shut up Bobo…..don’t you have a Viagra to go pop or something?
Bob Herman: Actually now that you mention it…….
Thomas Simon: Why me lord? Fan’s this action is just unreal let’s keep it going!
Honey Winters: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is to be contested under the rules of an Iron Man match!!! The rules are as follows, the wrestlers have a fifteen minute time limit to score as many pinfall victories as possible! The wrestler with the most pinfalls at the end of the matchup will be announced the victor!!
[As "Indestructible" by Disturbed begins, Ryu Tekai steps through the curtains open and stops for several long seconds surveying the crowd. A lone blue spotlight engulfs him as the arena lights dim. He walks down the aisle to the ring, making sure that he is out of range of the grubby reaches of the fans in attendance. Once at ringside, he does another visual survey of the crowd and then shakes his head. He jumps up onto the ring apron and then catapults himself into the ring.]
Honey Winters: Introducing first!! From Yamanashi, Japan!!! Weighing in this evening at 190 pounds!!! He is RYYYYYYYYUUUUU TEEEKKAAAAAAAIIIII!!!!
[The arena lights dim, as golden spotlights pass throughout, catching various clusters of fans within their amber glow. "Bedroom Eyes" by Yngwie Malmsteen begins to pipe throughout the arena's sound system, as the spotlights ascend upon the rampway, merging into one solid beam. Tyler Rose then emerges from the back, standing atop the rampway, next to his ring escort and adult actress Jenna Haze, basking in the light with a smile upon his face.]
Honey Winters: And his opponent!!! Weighing in this evening at 195 pounds!!! Accompanied to the ring by Jenna Haze!!!" PLAAAAYBBOOYY!!" TYYYYLLLERRRRR ROOOOOOSSSEEE!!!!
Thomas Simon: So now ladies and gentlemen, we have a real contest on our hands. Two cocky, arrogant men, separated by only a fifteen minute time limit and the opportunity to get as many pinfalls as possible!
Bob Herman: That's right Tommy, two up-and-coming stars, and fifteen minutes of pedal-to-the-medal action! I cannot wait.
DING...DING...DING
[As the bell sounds, and the clock on the big screen starts counting down from fifteen minutes, Ryu Tekai takes a slight opportunity to charge at Tyler Rose, ramming a hard forearm into his jaw, sending him back into the turnbuckle. Rye continues the hard forearms to the jaw of Tyler Rose, before he immediately switches to kicks to the gut. As Rose sprawls to a crouching position, Tekai slams a knee hard into his jaw, sending him head colliding with the second turnbuckle. Rose falls to the floor, and Tekai continues the massive attack with strikes.]
Thomas Simon: Hey, hey, hey!! Ryu needs to back off a bit there; the ref is trying to pull Rye away from Tyler Rose!! And Rose takes the opportunity, hitting a massive dropkick to Rye's jaw!!
[Ryu attempts to make it to his feet but Tyler Rose keeps at him with forearms, and this time it's Ryu thats grounded. Rose waits for a moment before he goes to the ropes and hits a running heel kick to Rye Tekai, immediately going into the cover early, looking for an early fall. He only gets a one count however, and Ryu is able to make it to a standing position as Tyler Rose does.]
[Tyler goes for another kick to the gut but Ryu is able to counter, pulling Tyler in for a clothesline, as he then grounds him with a seated sleeper. Eventually Rose makes it back to his feet, however Ryu keeps him grounded once again with a stiff kick to the arm, followed by a leg-sweeping STO as he locks in the headlock once more.]
Bob Herman: Both of these men are concentrating on two completely different strategies here. Tyler is trying to go for the quick, lucky pinfall early and Ryu is really looking to wear down Tyler so that once the pinfall finally comes, Tyler won't be able to counter. I'm liking Tyler's chances here right now - surely something has to give, but either way this is going to be interesting!!
Thomas Simon: Bob, i think that's the most informed thing you've ever said during a match, well done.
Bob Herman: Thanks Thomas, although i think I’d prefer some nice woman's wrestling right about now, Big Bobby is getting in the mood!
Thomas Simon: Annnd there we go, its ruined. Anyway, drifting away from Bob's odd fantasies here ladies and gentlemen, Ryu is back on the attack, applying a strong leglock on Tyler Rose. Good strategy keeping the high flying nature at bay!
[Tyler tries to break free of the pain of having his leg trapped in the excruciating leg lock, before he is able to make it to the ropes. Ryu quickly casts his first look at the big screen and sees the counter at 12:15, and knowing that he has time, applies the leg lock once more. However, once again Tyler makes it to the ropes, and Ryu instead drops multiple knees onto the knee of Tyler Rose, holding the last one and twisting Tyler's leg as he holds the knee there, and Rose screams in pain.]
[Ryu continues the pressure of a few seconds before Tyler hits an eye poke to Ryu and he backs off, and Rose gingerly makes it to his feet. Now Rose glances at the screen and sees 11:12 appears on the screen, and he half-hobbles over to Rye and hits a stiff right hook to his jaw, and another, and another, before Ryu backs into the turnbuckle and Rose gets up onto the second turnbuckle, hitting two more right hands before he hits a big monkey flip on Ryu Tekai, and then leaps onto the second turnbuckle and hits a second rope moonsault onto a standing Ryu Tekai.]
Thomas Simon: Tekai goes down from a massive moonsault!! And now the cover! 1.......2........No, it’s a kickout!
[Rose looks back up at the clock and sees 10:40, and quickly goes back to the turnbuckle and rises to the top rope. Unfortunately, Tekai is able to make it back to his feet, and he charges, hitting an incredible step-up enziguri to the side of Tyler Rose's head. Rose falls to the mat with a thud and Tekai begins to wait for Tyler Rose to get to his feet, almost stalking his prey.]
Thomas Simon: Here we go!! Tekai is looking to end it!!
Bob Herman: XERO GRAVITY!! What an impact!
Thomas Simon: First pinfall right here!! 1........2.............3!!! And Tekai goes up 1-0 on the stroke of 9:00 exactly!
[Looking quite pleased with himself, Ryu waits for a moment, posing for a second before he walks over to Tyler Rose and locks in a headlock. As Ryu attempts to pull Tyler to his feet, Rose suddenly twists around and rolls Ryu Tekai up in a schoolboy.]
Thomas Simon: HANG ON!! ROLLUP!! And Rose has a handful of tights!!
1............2............3!!!!!!!
Bob Herman: Hey!! I like the way Mr. Rose works!! What a move from the Playboy right there, and suddenly the score is all tied up at 1-1!!
[Ryu gets to his feet and can't believe that its suddenly even once again, and charges at Tyler Rose. Even after the Xero Gravity, Tyler is able to dodge out of the way and Ryu backs off the ropes, running into a hurricanrana from Tyler Rose. Ryu clambers out of the ring and onto the mat, and as he turns around he is met with a massive elbow suicida from Tyler Rose, through the second rope.]
[The clock reaches 8:01 and Tyler hauls Ryu back into the ring, and then climbs onto the apron, waiting for a moment. He then leaps onto the top rope and attempts a springboard crossbody, but Ryu is able to fall back and roll through, rolling Tyler up this time. Rose is able to kick out at the two count, but as both men get to their feet, Ryu charges and hits a massive running dropkick to Tyler's bad knee. Sensing a weak spot, Ryu holds the leg onto the bottom rope and stomps it continuously until he is told to stop by the referee. He raises his hands in submission to the ref, then goes back at the bad leg with stomps and finishes with a hard elbow drop.]
[As the clock reaches 7 minutes, Ryu goes back on the attack immediately, hitting a roundhouse kick to Tyler's knee, followed by a running clothesline and a knee drop onto Tyler's leg. As Tyler attempts and fails to make it back to his feet, Ryu grabs him and hits a massive suplex, then climbing the second turnbuckle and waiting for Tyler to get to his knees, attemting a diving swinging neckbreaker. However, at the last second Tyler is able to dodge out of the way, and Ryu hits the mat on his back with a thud.]
Thomas Simon: Big miss from Ryu Tekai!! And now Tyler has a chance to recover!!
Bob Herman: I dunno, i think that leg of Tyler's is really hurting right now!!
[From the ring apron Jenna cheers Tyler to his feet, and as he attempts to hit a dropkick to Ryu, he ducks, leaving Tyler to fall to the mat, flat on his belly. Ryu then awaits Tyler to get to his feet, signalling for the Flashpoint. He charges at the ropes, however before he can even get off the ground he is met by a massive diving clothesline from Tyler Rose, almost in desperation. Tyler is finally able to make it to his feet, climbing to the top turnbuckle with obvious difficulty due to his bad leg. Once on the top turnbuckle, he waits for Ryu to get to his feet when he executes a massive missile dropkick, and then goes for the cover.]
1..............2...........No! Kickout at two!!
[At five minutes Tyler attempts to make it back to his feet, and doing so, walks over to Ryu and squashes the heel of his boot onto the side of Ryu's face, as if squashing a bug. Tyler regains his cockiness, taunting the fans, as the ref counts to four and Tyler gets off.]
Thomas Simon: Now that's just not right, the ref needs to stop this!!
Bob Herman: You mean he needs to "stamp out" this behaviour? Hahaha!
Thomas Simon: Really Bob, really?
[Tyler, still limping, drags Ryu's body over to the turnbuckle, where he backs up a couple of steps, then makes a video camera pose before he charges, looking for a running big boot. However, Ryu dodges out of the way, and Tyler goes leg first into the turnbuckle, further damaging his injured leg. As Tyler comes back into the centre of the ring, Ryu grabs him in a sleeper hold and pulls him down, hitting a massive sleeperslam to Tyler Rose. Once again Ryu looks up to the clock and he sees it pass 3:20, and as he awaits Tyler to get up, he signals once more for the Flashpoint. This time however, as Ryu bursts back at Tyler and leaps, Tyler ducks, and Ryu falls flat on his ass.]
[Now Tyler is able to regain some momentum, although he sees the clock pass 3 minutes as he grabs Ryu in a headlock once more. He drags Ryu over to the ropes, and pushes him chest first onto the ropes, posing for a second before he hobbles over to the second turnbuckle and attempts a leg drop onto Ryu's head on the apron. He connects, and Ryu falls backwards onto the mat, meanwhile Tyler looks to go high risk for the final time, to secure his second and hopefully final pinfall needed.]
Thomas Simon: Here comes Tyler Rose!! He's up on top!! Looking for the Money Shot!!!
[As Simon says the words "Money Shot", he leaps off the turnbuckle and attempts to execute a moonsault, however, he fails to see Ryu get to his feet, and as Tyler falls, Ryu counters...]
Thomas Simon: XERO GRAVITY!!!!!!! XERO GRAVITY!!! HOLY SHIT!!!
Bob Herman: Oh my God!!! What are we seeing here!! That was incredible!!!! What a move from Tekai!
Thomas Simon: And Tekai crawls over to Tyler, surely this is over! With 47 seconds left on the clock, Ryu covers!!
1......................2............................3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thomas Simon: Ryu Tekai is up 2-1 in this Iron Man matchup!!! What a match its been!!
[Ryu gets to his feet with an air of confidence about him. He turns to Tyler Rose and stands over him for a second as Tyler desperately tries to make it to his feet. Ryu stands on Tyler’s hands and Tyler yells in pain, then Ryu drags Tyler to his feet and pulls his head up by the chin, looking to hit another Xero Gravity.]
Thomas Simon: And now Ryu, with thirty seconds left, is just toying with Tyler! This is wrong.
Bob Herman: He's just having some fun.
[However, Tyler pushes Ryu against the ropes, in counter to the Xero Gravity, and as Ryu comes back at Tyler, Rose rolls him up in a small package, and only gets a two count. As Ryu and Tyler both get to their feet, Tyler desperately kicks Ryu in the gut, then grabs his head and hits The Facial!! With 13 seconds left on the clock, Tyler uses a desperation maneuver to leap onto the top turnbuckle....]
Thomas Simon: MONEY SHOT!!!! THIS ISN'T OVER YET!!!! INTO THE COVER!!
1.......................2.....................3!!!!!!! TYLER TIES THE MATCH!!!
[Suddenly, there is a loud siren heard throughout the arena as the buzzer sounds for the end of the match. Tyler and Ryu both look up at the screen with incredibly disappointed looks upon their faces. Then, suddenly, the beginning of 23 days - Framing Hanley plays over the loud speakers and Ms. Biguns appears from the back onto the stage.]
Ms. Biguns: Now, now, gentlemen, we just can't be having this in our show can we? No, there is going to be a winner of this match, and since i am still the general manager of this show, and will remain so after tonight when my boy Titan pummels Justin Fischer, i am going to put an extension on this match. Boys, the next one to get a pinfall or submission wins the match! Have fun...
Thomas Simon: Wow! What a stipulation made by Ms. Biguns, these two are going at it again!! Next pinfall wins!!
[Ryu and Tyler square off once again, this time Ryu getting the early advantage with a sudden flurry of kicks to the gut. He irish whips Tyler to the ropes and Rose bounces back, right into a clothesline from Ryu Tekai. Both men, exceptionally tired at this stage, get back to a standing position, and immediately Ryu attempts for the early win with a Xero Gravity. However, Tyler rebounds, and then as Ryu comes back towards Ryu he kicks him in the gut and looks for the facial once again. This time however it is Ryu with the counter, and he twists out, then pulls Tyler into a headlock and attempts to swing him in for a headlock slam. However, Tyler manages to stay his ground, pushing Ryu back to the ropes, and as Tekai bounces back, Tyler hits a dropkick to Ryu's jaw.]
[Ryu gets back to his feet and the two confront each other once more. Tyler kicks Ryu in the gut, and this time manages to get The Facial in, and as Ryu hits face first onto the mat, Tyler struggles to climb to the top turnbuckle again. Once up, Tyler signals for the Money Shot, and flies backwards.]
Thomas Simon: Money Shot!!! No! He missed it!! And now Ryu's setting up....XERO GRAVITY!!!!!! WHAT IMPACT!!!
1....................2.......................3!!!!!!!
Bob Herman: Ryu wins!!! Ryu wins!!!
Honey Winters: Here is your winner!!! RYYYUUUU TEEEEKKAAAAIII!!!!
Thomas Simon: What a showing from both men, in the end it was Ryu Tekai that came out the victo- HEY!!
[From behind, Jenna Haze smacks Ryu over the back of the head with a can of some sort. Ryu holds his head but still stands, and then Tyler walks over and hits a massive low blow from behind. Ryu falls to the mat, holding both his head and his groin, and Tyler stomps on Ryu a couple of times. Tyler then grabs a mic from Honey Winters and turns back to a grounded Ryu.]
Tyler Rose: You might have won, but the truth of the matter is... as far as your career around here goes... you came too early!
Thomas Simon: This is terrible, just awful to watch.
Bob Herman: I reckon this is quality television right here!
[Tyler grabs the can from Jenna, then crotch chops Ryu Tekai and presses a button on the can, which sprays silly white foam all over Ryu. Tyler then backs out of the ring, still limping, and walks down the ramp to the back. Inside the ring, Ryu gets to his knees and bends over and through the second rope, yelling obscenities at Tyler Rose and motioning that this is by no means over.]
Thomas Simon: These two quite possible may have stolen the whole show with that match. I mean it is unreal!
Bob Herman: My heart is just racing right now…….I’M COMING ELIZABETH!
Thomas Simon: Easy there Fred Sanford…..Let’s keep this action rolling everyone!!!
Bob Herman: This crowd sure is unbelievable Tommy Boy……I have never seen such an electric crowd ever!
Thomas Simon: And what a show we have lined up for you fans……It will be Total Nonstop Action from the get go…..Let’s get started….wait a minute
[“Money” by Everlast blasts as Stephen Hale struts out to a chorus of boos from the crowd. He smirks as he walks around the ring and grabs a mic from Honey Winters. He slowly climbs the steps and gets in the ring to more boos.]
Stephen Hale:MPW NATION!!! I would like to personally welcome you all to After Shock!
[The crowd releases collective and resounding boo. Hale's cheesy grin doesn't even flinch.]
Stephen Hale:Yes yes. Tonight will see a great multitude of potentially amazing contests! Speaking for the entire Hale family I truly hope you all...
[Stephen Hale is immediately cut off by "Cult of Personality" by Set the Charge. He looks around in confusion as both the theme and video on the titantron have never been seen before. As the song's lyrics begin, a man wearing black track pants and a solid black zip up hoody walks out with his arms out to his sides and his hood up. In one hand he holds a microphone and he glides the other over outstretched hands of fans. As he reaches the end of the ramp he lowers his arms and slowly goes up the ring steps, eying Hale from under the shroud of his hood. As he steps between the ropes, the music fades out and the only sound is the crowd's cheering of the fact that someone cut off Hale.]
Stephen Hale:Who the hell are you to interrupt me? Huh? Who do you think you are?
Man: Who am I? Oh Stevey...don't be so naive.
Stephen Hale:McNair? Is that you? Lift that hood you son of a bitch.
Man: McNair? Well, kind of.
Stephen Hale:Stop playing games Anthony. I know that's you! Only you would be so disrespectful as to interrupt me.
[The man looks at Stephen for a moment before flipping back his hood revealing himself to be a blond and around twenty pounds trimmer Anthony McNair. Stephen jumps back in surprise and appears as if he's seen a ghost.]
Anthony McNair: What's the matter Stevey? I didn't surprise you did I? You surely know who I am now. Don't you?
[Stephen holds his mic up and speaks in a stuttering voice of surprised fear.]
Stephen Hale:You're not Mc...Mc..McNair. I know that! You are...but you can't be...you're....who's fucking with me right now?!
Anthony McNair: No one's fucking with you Stevey. You aren't loosing your mind and you are definitely right when you say I'm not McNair and honestly, I never have been.
[Stephen dons a look of complete disbelief.]
Anthony: Confused? I know you are so allow me to seat myself and let your "Jesus Christ of Professional Wrestling" speak a little gospel.
[Ignoring the stunned Stephen, Anthony turns and seats himself on the top turnbuckle. He dons a sideways grin as he speaks.]
Anthony McNair: Almost a year ago now, a young twenty three year old and his wife stepped into a company named Extreme anarchy Wrestling of the now cancelled G-Fed Television Network. He walked into that company as a member of a stable determined to make a mark. Soon after that stable folded and that left a simple team of two who quickly captured Tag Team gold. That team consisted of our young man and Kuk Killswitch. Almost immediately after, they were offered an ultimatum; drop the tag titles and move on to bigger things in the singles division or keep the belts. They chose to move on and soon the young man won the Impact Title. Fast forward another Impact title and a TV Title and you come to the day the G-Fed network folded. It wasn't lacking funding or anything. It was simply bought out by a certain young member of a wealthy family. That youngster was Stephen Hale. Why did he buy the network you ask? Well it's quite simple. He wanted to put our young man out of a job for something that happened ten years before. That young man was TJ Pain. That young man was me.
[The crowd erupts at the sound of this news and Stephen almost faints. Anthony, now known to be TJ, jumps off of the turnbuckle and walks towards Hale backing him into the corner. TJ looks down at Stephen and speaks again.]
TJ Pain:What's the matter Stephen? Are you surprised by all of this? Are you surprised that all this time you haven't been dealing with that chubby little retard Anthony we went to high school with? Or is it you simply can not believe that you were stupid enough to one, actually believe that little Tony from school made something of himself and that two, he found a manager in TJ Pain who had taken his early forced retirement hard and had gotten fat and weak? Well I hate to burst your bubble, Stevey, but I am back and stronger than anyone has ever seen me before and the first thing I'm going to do is kick your ass!
[TJ raises his fist but Stephen finally finds his voice. it's shrill and squeaky but still his.]
Stephen Hale:STOP! If you hit me, I swear he will make sure you never see her again!
[Stephen points to the tron and TJ turns his head to see Taufik and Jamal standing on either side of a tied up Lacey. She looks scared and her body is covered with bruises and healing wounds. TJ walks away and roars at the tron. This brings a chuckle to Taufik. Stephen speaks again behind the seething TJ Pain.]
Stephen Hale:That’s exactly what I thought…….You try to act big and bad but in the end you are pussy whipped just like the rest…..You’re not a real man like Taufik! In fact……Taufik why don’t you use Lacey as your pre-match sparring partner?
[TJ’s face grows worried as he yells.]
TJ Pain:WAIT! DON’T YOU HURT HER AGAIN YOU SON OF A BITCH!!!
[Taufik winds back his hand as you hear a slight scream from Lacey.]
TJ Pain:NO ROXXANNE!!!
Stephen Hale:Wait...what? Did you just? The whole time that’s been your wife Roxxanne?? Ha ha ha oh this is good………this is real good!!!
[Hale steps out of the ring and slowly walks down the ring steps.]
Stephen Hale:So what was your plan in all of this? To come down and beat me up and go save her like a dumbass knight in shining armour? Well look you just had your moment in the sun…….TJ Pain……Anthony McNair….regardless you will still be the same waste of space that I have always known you to be!
[“Money” by Everlast blasts as TJ Pain looks on angered and determined in the ring. The tron shows Taufik nodding to Jamal as he quickly covers who we now know to be Roxxanne with a cloth across her mouth. She is seen squirming for a second then loses consciousness. TJ is irate in the ring as Stephen Hale smirks at him from the top of the ramp.
Thomas Simon: WOW! What a way to start After Shock!!
Bob Herman: So Anthony McNair was TJ Pain this whole time???
Thomas Simon: It looks that way Bobo….
Bob Herman: Huh…….who would’ve guessed it.
Thomas Simon: Fans let’s get to our opening match shall we?
[The scene fades up as we “I Don’t Like” playing from the speakers and Rye Payne makes his way out to the ring.]
Honey Winters: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, standing in the ring, from Detroit, MI, weighing in tonight at 190 lbs… Rye Payne!
[He climbs in the ring and puts his arms up in the air as the crowd lets out a chorus of boos.]
[“Lies Greed Misery” By Linkin park hits, for 10 seconds nothing happens then Red White and Blue strobe lights come on as Ian Andrews makes his way to the ring, as he gets in the ring Ian takes the Microphone from the Ring announcer and announces himself.] <[> Ian: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, from Boston, Mass. he is the second Olympic medalist in Pro wrestling history, and a hell of a lot better looking then anyone here, he is Ian Andrews.
[He drops the microphone as the crowd settles and awaits the match to start. The two look each other in the eye when the referee yells of the bell and the match begins.]
Bob Herman: Both men are hungry here, ladies and gentlemen; this should be awesome to see these two young bloods battle it out!
Thomas Simon: You’re right there, Bobo!
[Both men go into a lock-up and battle back and forth until they both let go of the hold. Neither man can gain the momentum. Rye exchanges his arm out to Ian for a strength test and he replies by giving both hands. They battle for a bit until the taller Ian Andrews gains more momentum. Pain is sent down to the mat slowly and is now on his back trying to gain the strength to get up and fight back, but he can’t.]
Thomas Simon: Neither of these guys are the biggest in MPW, but they are showing some strength now!
[Ian unlocks the hold and turns right into an armbar. He grips the arm and squeezes it. Rye screams out in pain. Pain is in the advantage, however, because he is so close to the ropes, that he puts his leg up and it reaches the bottom rope so he can be released of the bar. Mason pulls Andrews off of Rye and sends him back a couple feet so Rye can get some time to stand up.]
Thomas Simon: They look sort of angry at each other.
Bob Herman: They’re getting mad now!
[Ian uses the ropes to stand as he clutches his right arm in pain. He circles around the ring a bit just to try to get away from Andrews who, at that moment, walks towards Pain. Rye realizes what’s coming and he moves his upper body between the second and third rope so Andrews can’t touch him. The referee pulls him off of Rye and tells him to knock it off. Suddenly, from behind, Rye plays possum and charges at Andrews and connects with the Lou Thesz press. Relentlessly raining down fist after fist. He gets up and the crowd boos and cheers, not sure of what to do. Andrews tries to recuperate and gets a quick glimpse before seeing the sole of Rye’s boot going right into his nose. Sending him flying backwards and hitting the mat.]
Bob Herman: I guess this match was more intense than I had thought!
[Rye is getting pumped up. He waits for Andrews to stand. Once he does, he ricochets off the ropes and tries to land a hurricanrana, but is caught at the top and is sent down, back and head first, into the mat by way of power bomb from Ian Andrews. The crowd pops.]
Bob Herman: Wow… Back and forth, back and forth!
Thomas Simon: This could get annoying from how much it’s changing!
[Ian stands, groggily, and limps over to the corner and lounges back. He waits for his opponent to stand but is cut short from the amount of adrenaline in his body. He charges at Rye, who is on his hands and knees, and kicks him right in the abdomen. He flips over and starts to cough. Ian puts his arms up and people cheer, and people boo. He walks over to his opponent and picks him up in a DDT position. He lifts him up and lands a suplex that shakes the ring. He stands immediately and slaps on a dragon sleeper. Rye grimaces but will not give up.]
Bob Herman: Uh oh… This could be the end right here, bud!
Thomas Simon: I don’t know… It doesn’t look like Rye is too far gone yet!
[Rye swings his arms around trying to gain momentum and shift his opponent over so it’s easier for him to stand. As soon as he does, and it works, Ian moves around the body and locks in a front facelock. Pain flops right to the floor. The crowd is into it. It’s going somewhere and they can feel it as Rye looks like he gets a second wind and begins to stand up. Once they are to their feet, Pain lands a couple of guts punches and one uppercut that sends Andrews backwards to the ropes.]
Thomas Simon: Ouch! That hurt me…
[Rye charges but Andrews catches him and throws him to the outside apron. He lands a couple punches to make his opponent a little groggy. He spins him around so he’s facing the crowd. He climbs the ropes, and is now standing on the third rope in the center of both turnbuckles. He leaps and connects with The Andrews Effect to the outside onto the padding outside. Andrews immediately slides back into the ring and awaits the count as the crowd is popping from that huge move to the outside.
1... No movement at all shown from Rye Payne.
2... Ian begins to become aware of what’s going on.
3... Rye still has not moved, but Andrews is making his way to his knees.
4... Ian has made it to his knees and is now watching.
5... The crowd is sensing the end very vaguely.
6... Andrews gets a smile on his face.
7... The crowd grows more aware of the end.
8... Still no movement.
9... Andrews stands.
…
10!!
Honey Winters: Here is your winner by way of count out… Ian Andrews!!!
Thomas Simon: Wow!
Bob Herman: Wow is an understatement! That move to the outside… That was unheard of!!
Thomas Simon: Can you believe that… That was so epic! Great match. I cannot wait for what’s next!!
Honey Winters: this match is for the X-Core #1 contendership
[The beginning riffs of “Dead American” by Lars Friedeksen and the Bastards hit the P.A as black and red lights flash on the stage. Once the lyrics hit, Calista Vandal rushes onto stage as if she was in a mosh pit. She stops in her vest and sticks out her tongue while flipping the bird to the camera. She then heads to one ends of the stage and gives the bird. She then does the same to the other end before slam dancing her way to the center again. As the song continues she runs down giving out quick high fives. She gets to the bottom of the walkway and jumps the barricade and rolls around the fans, starting a bit of a pit. She then jumps up on the barricade and gives the bird to the camera as several fans follow suite. She hops off the barricade and jumps up onto the apron. She holds herself up with the ropes as she leans forward and gives the two finger salute. She jumps over the top rope and rushes her way to the top turnbuckle. She pulls off her vest and tosses it into the crowd before jumping off the turnbuckle and into the center of the ring.]
Honey Winters: And introducing first, from Salt Lake City Utah.... Calista Vandal!
["Living in a Dream" by Finger Eleven blasts through the loudspeakers. The crowd goes wild as Jordan bursts through the curtain. Yellow fireworks go off as Jordan stands atop the entrance ramp and raises his arms. Jordan walks down the entrance ramp and high fives fans along the way. Jordan steps through the ropes and as he does so, more yellow fireworks go off on top of the entrance ramp. Jordan goes to each of the turnbuckles and poses, with his arms in the air.]
Honey Winters: and her opponent, from Melbourne, Australia Jordan Storm!!!
[The bell rings as Vandal and Storm circle each other. Storm swings at Vandal and tries to hit her with a quick hard right but Vandal ducks under it and goes for a roundhouse kick but Storm is able to catch her leg and then hit her with a quick clothesline that sends Vandal down and keeps her down. He quickly picks her up before throwing her into the corner. He charges at her and jumps up and connects with a corner splash that sends Vandal falling straight down to the mat. Storm flips her over and goes for the quick pin! 1...2.Kickout! Vandal is able to easily kick out. Storm gets up and slowly picks her up before grabbing her around the head and then lifting her straight up in the air and holding her there for a few moments before dropping her on her back with a long stalling suplex.]
[He quickly climbs up to the top rope meanwhile she is still down and jumps off attempting a flying elbow drop but Vandal is barely able to move out of the way which sends Storm's elbow into the mat. He immediately grabs his shoulder in pain which gives Vandal the chance to get to her feet. As soon as Storm is able to make it to a vertical base he is quickly hit with a dropkick that sends him flying into the ropes and as he bounces back he is hit with a hurricanrana into a pin! 1...2..Kickout! ]
Thomas Simon: Vandal almost snuck a win by Jordan Storm in this impressive matchup between two up and comers in the MPW.
[Vandal wastes no time as she bounces off the ropes and then hits the downed Storm with an elbow drop of her own. She bounces back up to her feet as the fans begin to cheer her on. She climbs up to the top rope as she waits for Storm to make his way to his feet. As soon as he makes it to his feet and turns to face her she jumps off and connects with a missile dropkick to the head. Storm was able to barely get his arms up but it didn't help much as it sends him to the mat back first. Vandal pumps of the crowd and gets a huge ovation from the fans. Meanwhile Storm is trying to make it to his feet and is on all fours. Calista looks around before backing up and nailing him with the S.L.C. Punt! She just connected with a punt to the face of Storm! She immediately goes for the pin! 1...2...Kickout!]
Thomas Simon: Storm is somehow able to Kickout!
Bob Herman: Blah Blah Blah. Don't you ever say anything interesting Tommy boy?
[Calista sits up on her knees as she can't believe he kicked out. She gets to her feet and stomps on the fallen Storm a few times before once again climbing up to the top rope. This time she stands straight up as she begins to pump the crowd up before eventually jumping off with a 450 Frog Splash! Storm moves! Storm moved out of the way seconds before which sends Vandal crashing into the mat! The still down Storm throws his arm over Vandal for the pin! 1...2...Kickout! She kicks out! The crowd begins to cheer as they both slowly make their way to their feet at about the same time. Vandal tries to grab Storm and whip him into the ropes but Storm is able to reverse it sending her into the ropes and as she comes back he picks her up and slams her down hard on her back with a brutal spinebuster! He hooks her leg for the pin! 1...2..Kickout!]
Thomas Simon: She does it again! She somehow gets a shoulder up!
Bob Herman: is it just me or do you have like a hard-on for this girl? she doesn't even have a big rack or anything....
Thomas Simon: bob you need to get your mind out the gutter and start taking ur Viagra after our matches together.
Bob Herman: So it's true... you do like the whole emo gimmick....
[Storm wastes no time as he once again picks her up and this time irish whips her into the corner. He backs up into the opposite corner before charging at her and jumping at her with another corner splash but this time she gets a foot up which connects with Storm's stomach sending him reeling back. She charges at him and goes for a clothesline but he's able to duck under it, kick her in the stomach, and then drop her down with a DDT! Storm gets up as this time he pumps the crowd up as he senses he has taken full control of this match. As Vandal makes her way to her feet he kicks her in the stomach and then puts her beneath his legs. He then picks her up high over his head and holds her there for a few moments but before he is about to drop her down with the powerbombing she somehow wiggles free and drops down behind him. He quickly turns and before she knows what hits her Storm connects with Thunderstruck! He just connected with the superkick out of nowhere! He hooks her leg for the pin! 1...2...3!!! ]
Thomas Simon: He does it! Jordan Storm wins the match and becomes the number 1 contender to the X-Core Title!
Bob Herman: Awww... ur wittle crush didn't quite make the cut... oh well! Let’s get Bliss or Biguns out here... now there are two women that have puppies you can get lost in...
Thomas Simon: Shut up Bobo…..don’t you have a Viagra to go pop or something?
Bob Herman: Actually now that you mention it…….
Thomas Simon: Why me lord? Fan’s this action is just unreal let’s keep it going!
Honey Winters: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is to be contested under the rules of an Iron Man match!!! The rules are as follows, the wrestlers have a fifteen minute time limit to score as many pinfall victories as possible! The wrestler with the most pinfalls at the end of the matchup will be announced the victor!!
[As "Indestructible" by Disturbed begins, Ryu Tekai steps through the curtains open and stops for several long seconds surveying the crowd. A lone blue spotlight engulfs him as the arena lights dim. He walks down the aisle to the ring, making sure that he is out of range of the grubby reaches of the fans in attendance. Once at ringside, he does another visual survey of the crowd and then shakes his head. He jumps up onto the ring apron and then catapults himself into the ring.]
Honey Winters: Introducing first!! From Yamanashi, Japan!!! Weighing in this evening at 190 pounds!!! He is RYYYYYYYYUUUUU TEEEKKAAAAAAAIIIII!!!!
[The arena lights dim, as golden spotlights pass throughout, catching various clusters of fans within their amber glow. "Bedroom Eyes" by Yngwie Malmsteen begins to pipe throughout the arena's sound system, as the spotlights ascend upon the rampway, merging into one solid beam. Tyler Rose then emerges from the back, standing atop the rampway, next to his ring escort and adult actress Jenna Haze, basking in the light with a smile upon his face.]
Honey Winters: And his opponent!!! Weighing in this evening at 195 pounds!!! Accompanied to the ring by Jenna Haze!!!" PLAAAAYBBOOYY!!" TYYYYLLLERRRRR ROOOOOOSSSEEE!!!!
Thomas Simon: So now ladies and gentlemen, we have a real contest on our hands. Two cocky, arrogant men, separated by only a fifteen minute time limit and the opportunity to get as many pinfalls as possible!
Bob Herman: That's right Tommy, two up-and-coming stars, and fifteen minutes of pedal-to-the-medal action! I cannot wait.
DING...DING...DING
[As the bell sounds, and the clock on the big screen starts counting down from fifteen minutes, Ryu Tekai takes a slight opportunity to charge at Tyler Rose, ramming a hard forearm into his jaw, sending him back into the turnbuckle. Rye continues the hard forearms to the jaw of Tyler Rose, before he immediately switches to kicks to the gut. As Rose sprawls to a crouching position, Tekai slams a knee hard into his jaw, sending him head colliding with the second turnbuckle. Rose falls to the floor, and Tekai continues the massive attack with strikes.]
Thomas Simon: Hey, hey, hey!! Ryu needs to back off a bit there; the ref is trying to pull Rye away from Tyler Rose!! And Rose takes the opportunity, hitting a massive dropkick to Rye's jaw!!
[Ryu attempts to make it to his feet but Tyler Rose keeps at him with forearms, and this time it's Ryu thats grounded. Rose waits for a moment before he goes to the ropes and hits a running heel kick to Rye Tekai, immediately going into the cover early, looking for an early fall. He only gets a one count however, and Ryu is able to make it to a standing position as Tyler Rose does.]
[Tyler goes for another kick to the gut but Ryu is able to counter, pulling Tyler in for a clothesline, as he then grounds him with a seated sleeper. Eventually Rose makes it back to his feet, however Ryu keeps him grounded once again with a stiff kick to the arm, followed by a leg-sweeping STO as he locks in the headlock once more.]
Bob Herman: Both of these men are concentrating on two completely different strategies here. Tyler is trying to go for the quick, lucky pinfall early and Ryu is really looking to wear down Tyler so that once the pinfall finally comes, Tyler won't be able to counter. I'm liking Tyler's chances here right now - surely something has to give, but either way this is going to be interesting!!
Thomas Simon: Bob, i think that's the most informed thing you've ever said during a match, well done.
Bob Herman: Thanks Thomas, although i think I’d prefer some nice woman's wrestling right about now, Big Bobby is getting in the mood!
Thomas Simon: Annnd there we go, its ruined. Anyway, drifting away from Bob's odd fantasies here ladies and gentlemen, Ryu is back on the attack, applying a strong leglock on Tyler Rose. Good strategy keeping the high flying nature at bay!
[Tyler tries to break free of the pain of having his leg trapped in the excruciating leg lock, before he is able to make it to the ropes. Ryu quickly casts his first look at the big screen and sees the counter at 12:15, and knowing that he has time, applies the leg lock once more. However, once again Tyler makes it to the ropes, and Ryu instead drops multiple knees onto the knee of Tyler Rose, holding the last one and twisting Tyler's leg as he holds the knee there, and Rose screams in pain.]
[Ryu continues the pressure of a few seconds before Tyler hits an eye poke to Ryu and he backs off, and Rose gingerly makes it to his feet. Now Rose glances at the screen and sees 11:12 appears on the screen, and he half-hobbles over to Rye and hits a stiff right hook to his jaw, and another, and another, before Ryu backs into the turnbuckle and Rose gets up onto the second turnbuckle, hitting two more right hands before he hits a big monkey flip on Ryu Tekai, and then leaps onto the second turnbuckle and hits a second rope moonsault onto a standing Ryu Tekai.]
Thomas Simon: Tekai goes down from a massive moonsault!! And now the cover! 1.......2........No, it’s a kickout!
[Rose looks back up at the clock and sees 10:40, and quickly goes back to the turnbuckle and rises to the top rope. Unfortunately, Tekai is able to make it back to his feet, and he charges, hitting an incredible step-up enziguri to the side of Tyler Rose's head. Rose falls to the mat with a thud and Tekai begins to wait for Tyler Rose to get to his feet, almost stalking his prey.]
Thomas Simon: Here we go!! Tekai is looking to end it!!
Bob Herman: XERO GRAVITY!! What an impact!
Thomas Simon: First pinfall right here!! 1........2.............3!!! And Tekai goes up 1-0 on the stroke of 9:00 exactly!
[Looking quite pleased with himself, Ryu waits for a moment, posing for a second before he walks over to Tyler Rose and locks in a headlock. As Ryu attempts to pull Tyler to his feet, Rose suddenly twists around and rolls Ryu Tekai up in a schoolboy.]
Thomas Simon: HANG ON!! ROLLUP!! And Rose has a handful of tights!!
1............2............3!!!!!!!
Bob Herman: Hey!! I like the way Mr. Rose works!! What a move from the Playboy right there, and suddenly the score is all tied up at 1-1!!
[Ryu gets to his feet and can't believe that its suddenly even once again, and charges at Tyler Rose. Even after the Xero Gravity, Tyler is able to dodge out of the way and Ryu backs off the ropes, running into a hurricanrana from Tyler Rose. Ryu clambers out of the ring and onto the mat, and as he turns around he is met with a massive elbow suicida from Tyler Rose, through the second rope.]
[The clock reaches 8:01 and Tyler hauls Ryu back into the ring, and then climbs onto the apron, waiting for a moment. He then leaps onto the top rope and attempts a springboard crossbody, but Ryu is able to fall back and roll through, rolling Tyler up this time. Rose is able to kick out at the two count, but as both men get to their feet, Ryu charges and hits a massive running dropkick to Tyler's bad knee. Sensing a weak spot, Ryu holds the leg onto the bottom rope and stomps it continuously until he is told to stop by the referee. He raises his hands in submission to the ref, then goes back at the bad leg with stomps and finishes with a hard elbow drop.]
[As the clock reaches 7 minutes, Ryu goes back on the attack immediately, hitting a roundhouse kick to Tyler's knee, followed by a running clothesline and a knee drop onto Tyler's leg. As Tyler attempts and fails to make it back to his feet, Ryu grabs him and hits a massive suplex, then climbing the second turnbuckle and waiting for Tyler to get to his knees, attemting a diving swinging neckbreaker. However, at the last second Tyler is able to dodge out of the way, and Ryu hits the mat on his back with a thud.]
Thomas Simon: Big miss from Ryu Tekai!! And now Tyler has a chance to recover!!
Bob Herman: I dunno, i think that leg of Tyler's is really hurting right now!!
[From the ring apron Jenna cheers Tyler to his feet, and as he attempts to hit a dropkick to Ryu, he ducks, leaving Tyler to fall to the mat, flat on his belly. Ryu then awaits Tyler to get to his feet, signalling for the Flashpoint. He charges at the ropes, however before he can even get off the ground he is met by a massive diving clothesline from Tyler Rose, almost in desperation. Tyler is finally able to make it to his feet, climbing to the top turnbuckle with obvious difficulty due to his bad leg. Once on the top turnbuckle, he waits for Ryu to get to his feet when he executes a massive missile dropkick, and then goes for the cover.]
1..............2...........No! Kickout at two!!
[At five minutes Tyler attempts to make it back to his feet, and doing so, walks over to Ryu and squashes the heel of his boot onto the side of Ryu's face, as if squashing a bug. Tyler regains his cockiness, taunting the fans, as the ref counts to four and Tyler gets off.]
Thomas Simon: Now that's just not right, the ref needs to stop this!!
Bob Herman: You mean he needs to "stamp out" this behaviour? Hahaha!
Thomas Simon: Really Bob, really?
[Tyler, still limping, drags Ryu's body over to the turnbuckle, where he backs up a couple of steps, then makes a video camera pose before he charges, looking for a running big boot. However, Ryu dodges out of the way, and Tyler goes leg first into the turnbuckle, further damaging his injured leg. As Tyler comes back into the centre of the ring, Ryu grabs him in a sleeper hold and pulls him down, hitting a massive sleeperslam to Tyler Rose. Once again Ryu looks up to the clock and he sees it pass 3:20, and as he awaits Tyler to get up, he signals once more for the Flashpoint. This time however, as Ryu bursts back at Tyler and leaps, Tyler ducks, and Ryu falls flat on his ass.]
[Now Tyler is able to regain some momentum, although he sees the clock pass 3 minutes as he grabs Ryu in a headlock once more. He drags Ryu over to the ropes, and pushes him chest first onto the ropes, posing for a second before he hobbles over to the second turnbuckle and attempts a leg drop onto Ryu's head on the apron. He connects, and Ryu falls backwards onto the mat, meanwhile Tyler looks to go high risk for the final time, to secure his second and hopefully final pinfall needed.]
Thomas Simon: Here comes Tyler Rose!! He's up on top!! Looking for the Money Shot!!!
[As Simon says the words "Money Shot", he leaps off the turnbuckle and attempts to execute a moonsault, however, he fails to see Ryu get to his feet, and as Tyler falls, Ryu counters...]
Thomas Simon: XERO GRAVITY!!!!!!! XERO GRAVITY!!! HOLY SHIT!!!
Bob Herman: Oh my God!!! What are we seeing here!! That was incredible!!!! What a move from Tekai!
Thomas Simon: And Tekai crawls over to Tyler, surely this is over! With 47 seconds left on the clock, Ryu covers!!
1......................2............................3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thomas Simon: Ryu Tekai is up 2-1 in this Iron Man matchup!!! What a match its been!!
[Ryu gets to his feet with an air of confidence about him. He turns to Tyler Rose and stands over him for a second as Tyler desperately tries to make it to his feet. Ryu stands on Tyler’s hands and Tyler yells in pain, then Ryu drags Tyler to his feet and pulls his head up by the chin, looking to hit another Xero Gravity.]
Thomas Simon: And now Ryu, with thirty seconds left, is just toying with Tyler! This is wrong.
Bob Herman: He's just having some fun.
[However, Tyler pushes Ryu against the ropes, in counter to the Xero Gravity, and as Ryu comes back at Tyler, Rose rolls him up in a small package, and only gets a two count. As Ryu and Tyler both get to their feet, Tyler desperately kicks Ryu in the gut, then grabs his head and hits The Facial!! With 13 seconds left on the clock, Tyler uses a desperation maneuver to leap onto the top turnbuckle....]
Thomas Simon: MONEY SHOT!!!! THIS ISN'T OVER YET!!!! INTO THE COVER!!
1.......................2.....................3!!!!!!! TYLER TIES THE MATCH!!!
[Suddenly, there is a loud siren heard throughout the arena as the buzzer sounds for the end of the match. Tyler and Ryu both look up at the screen with incredibly disappointed looks upon their faces. Then, suddenly, the beginning of 23 days - Framing Hanley plays over the loud speakers and Ms. Biguns appears from the back onto the stage.]
Ms. Biguns: Now, now, gentlemen, we just can't be having this in our show can we? No, there is going to be a winner of this match, and since i am still the general manager of this show, and will remain so after tonight when my boy Titan pummels Justin Fischer, i am going to put an extension on this match. Boys, the next one to get a pinfall or submission wins the match! Have fun...
Thomas Simon: Wow! What a stipulation made by Ms. Biguns, these two are going at it again!! Next pinfall wins!!
[Ryu and Tyler square off once again, this time Ryu getting the early advantage with a sudden flurry of kicks to the gut. He irish whips Tyler to the ropes and Rose bounces back, right into a clothesline from Ryu Tekai. Both men, exceptionally tired at this stage, get back to a standing position, and immediately Ryu attempts for the early win with a Xero Gravity. However, Tyler rebounds, and then as Ryu comes back towards Ryu he kicks him in the gut and looks for the facial once again. This time however it is Ryu with the counter, and he twists out, then pulls Tyler into a headlock and attempts to swing him in for a headlock slam. However, Tyler manages to stay his ground, pushing Ryu back to the ropes, and as Tekai bounces back, Tyler hits a dropkick to Ryu's jaw.]
[Ryu gets back to his feet and the two confront each other once more. Tyler kicks Ryu in the gut, and this time manages to get The Facial in, and as Ryu hits face first onto the mat, Tyler struggles to climb to the top turnbuckle again. Once up, Tyler signals for the Money Shot, and flies backwards.]
Thomas Simon: Money Shot!!! No! He missed it!! And now Ryu's setting up....XERO GRAVITY!!!!!! WHAT IMPACT!!!
1....................2.......................3!!!!!!!
Bob Herman: Ryu wins!!! Ryu wins!!!
Honey Winters: Here is your winner!!! RYYYUUUU TEEEEKKAAAAIII!!!!
Thomas Simon: What a showing from both men, in the end it was Ryu Tekai that came out the victo- HEY!!
[From behind, Jenna Haze smacks Ryu over the back of the head with a can of some sort. Ryu holds his head but still stands, and then Tyler walks over and hits a massive low blow from behind. Ryu falls to the mat, holding both his head and his groin, and Tyler stomps on Ryu a couple of times. Tyler then grabs a mic from Honey Winters and turns back to a grounded Ryu.]
Tyler Rose: You might have won, but the truth of the matter is... as far as your career around here goes... you came too early!
Thomas Simon: This is terrible, just awful to watch.
Bob Herman: I reckon this is quality television right here!
[Tyler grabs the can from Jenna, then crotch chops Ryu Tekai and presses a button on the can, which sprays silly white foam all over Ryu. Tyler then backs out of the ring, still limping, and walks down the ramp to the back. Inside the ring, Ryu gets to his knees and bends over and through the second rope, yelling obscenities at Tyler Rose and motioning that this is by no means over.]
Thomas Simon: These two quite possible may have stolen the whole show with that match. I mean it is unreal!
Bob Herman: My heart is just racing right now…….I’M COMING ELIZABETH!
Thomas Simon: Easy there Fred Sanford…..Let’s keep this action rolling everyone!!!
