Hell on Earth - October 29th [The remnants of Violent Inc's havoc have been cleared up. Mike Jackson stands in the center of the ring, microphone in hand.] Mike Jackson: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THE FOLLOWING CONTEST IS SCHEDULED FOR ONE FALL AND IS FOR THE IWL CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! INTRODUCING FIRST, THE CHALLENGER... WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND NINE POUNDS... JOHHHNNNNYYYYY CRRRRRROOOSSSSSSHAIIIIRRRRS! [Johnny appears, as "Country House" by Blur hits the speakers. He grins lopsidedly as he walks down the aisle, and then looks to a fan laughing as they hold out a box of Lucky Charms. He rolls into the ring, and then stands up, sparring with an unseen opponent as "More Human Than Human" hits the speakers.] MJ: AND HIS OPPONENT... HE IS THE REIGNING IWL CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORRRRRRRRRRLLLLLLLD.... WEIGHTING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND TEN POUNDS... CHHAAAA-RRRRRRRISSSSS THERRRRRRRRRRRRRIN! [Therin looks completely focused as he heads down the aisle, apparently oblivious to the boos about him. He walks up the steel stairs and then steps between the ropes, unclipping the Cruiserweight Title and then handing it to the referee, who displays it. ***DING DING DING***] NR: Folks, I'll be honest-- this is probably going to be one of the best pure wrestling matches the IWL has seen in a LONG time! LT: With Therin's technical and flying skills, and Crosshairs' luchador style, then I don't see anything but an amazing show! NR: Therin and the Target circle warily... they tie up and Therin into a side headlock! Johnny sends him to the ropes and drops down, leapfrogs Therin on the way back, takes a shoulderblock from the champion when he comes back for the third time! Therin to the opposite ropes and Johnny stays down, hops up, Therin gets a front kick, Therin sent to the corner, he reverses, Johnny with a running backflip up the turnbuckles, Therin tries to put this away with his patented superkick, Johnny catches it, spins him around, leaps, HURRICAN RANA! [This has all happened in the course of maybe twelve, thirteen seconds. The fans explode at the amazing display, breaking into an "IWL! IWL!" chant.] LT: If I may say so, I don't think anything has ever rivaled that display of skill! NR: I'm almost willing to bet that you're right! Johnny and Therin are circling again, Crosshairs goes to tie up and Therin reverses it into a waistlock! Johnny fires a pair of elbows to free himself and then to the ropes, he ducks Therin's lariat-- but doesn't duck the cross-body press! ONE! TW-- kick out by Crosshairs! He kicks himself back to his feet! LT: Therin knocks him right back down with a legsweep! Crosshairs jumps up again and then bounces off the ropes, jumps the dropped-down Therin, on the return with a dropkick but Therin holds the ropes! Crosshairs falls to the ground facedown and Therin capitalizes with a Mexican surfboard! AF: Okay. A Canadian wrestler applying a Mexican surfboard to a British luchador in an American arena. Damn, that's international status. NR: Johnny is in considerable, visible pain, and it's increasing by the second! If he doesn't get loose somehow... LT: Johnny is rocking back and forth... he rolls to the side and nudges the bottom rope with his head! That counts as a break! NR: And Therin releases the hold, but not until he's good and ready! He pulls up Crosshairs and sends him to the corner, follows in after him... Johnny raises a foot and Therin staggers away! He stumbles toward the corner, where Johnny is waiting with an AMAZING tornado DDT! Therin is down and Johnny covers! ONE! TWO!! Kick out! You can't put Chris Therin away like that! LT: And he himself will tell you so! Therin is still a little woozy, but he's to his feet as Johnny back him into the ropes... he launches Therin, Therin holds on to Johnny's arm and pulls "the Target" toward him, OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY! Crosshairs landed nearly on top of his head! NR: Therin pulls himself to his feet and waits in the corner for the superkick.... Johnny is up, Therin rushes, Johnny ducks! Therin whirls about and Johnny [POP] PLANTS HIM WITH THE LOCK, STOCK, AND BARREL! HE'S POINTING TO THE TURNBUCKLES! LT: Johnny climbs the turnbuckles... [HUGE POP] MY GOD! THE HEADSHOT! [450 splash into a headbutt] THE HEADSHOT! HE COVERS THERIN! ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! JOHNNY CROSSHAIRS PULLED A VICTORY OUT OF NOWHERE! [As "Country House" by Blur plays, Johnny is handed the Cruiserweight Championship. He smiles broadly and then shakes the referee's hand, holding the title high.] MJ: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN... YOUR NNEEEEWWWWW IWL CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORRRRRRRLLLLLD..... JOOOOHHHHNNNNNNY CRRRRROSSSHAIIIRRRS! [Johnny offers Therin a handshake, which Therin smiles and takes. Then, he whips Crosshairs into the ropes and superkicks him, leaving him on the ring mat.] NR: Poor sportsmanship on behalf of Therin! AF: Since when has sportsmanship been a necessity to be a wrestler? [The bickering is interrupted by the four individual entrances of the participants entered in the World Television Title match. As the four enter the ring, the bell sounds and every one of them begins to brawl wildly. ***DING DING DING***] NR: All four men tearing into each other... now, Cage matches up with the Natural and Cade exchanges fists with the Executioner! The Executioner tosses Cade to the outside and goes out after him, leaving Cage and the Natural in the ring! LT: The Natural has the upper hand, swatting Cage around like a fly! Neckbreaker by the Natural on Cage, followed up by a quick legdrop... Cage is down and the Natural attempts a pin!ONE! TW- kick out! Way too early for a pin! NR: Cage is dragged to his feet, and whipped into the ropes... as he bounds off the ropes, he slides under the Natural, and jumps up to deliver a reverse DDT to him! While the Natural is shaking off the effects of that blow, Cage jumps up on top of the turnbuckle and delivers a missile dropkick to the Natural! LT: Outside the ring, Cade has taken control of the Executioner, and is actually mocking him! Cade kicks him in the groin, and then reaches under the ring, and pulls out a trash can lid... [CLANG] And the referee didn't see it! The Executioner goes down! Cade climbs back inside the ring, leaving a groggy Executioner laying outside! NR: Cage is in complete control of the Natural, and has weakened him with a variety of quick legdrops and spears! Cade walks in, watches Cage in control of the Natural, and sits back in a corner, watching the action! He's taking a small break, a smart move on his part! LT: Cage with a tilt-a-whirl facebuster on the Natural, who didn't see it coming. Natural is down, and Cage climbs to the top, and stands there, waiting. Cade steps forward, and pulls the Natural to his feet, standing him up near the corner. Cage jumps forward, and [HUGE POP] executes a double tornado DDT on both Cade and the Natural! Both men are stunned, and Cage gets back to his feet... he raises his arms in the air, and goes for a double pin!ONE! TWO! TH-NO! Cage is ripped off of the men by the Executioner, as he makes his presence felt! NR: The Executioner lifts Cage up and drives him with a HUGE powerbomb! Cage is down, but shows great resilliency by getting back up, albeit a bit slowly! Executioner then grabs him by the neck, and tosses him to the outside! LT: Cage is down and looks hurt! Wait...! As he turns around, the Natural is powering towards him and completely takes him through the ropes with a massive spear to the outside! Cade is left in the ring, and he watches the men on the outside battle.. Outside, the Executioner whips the Natural back into the ring with the intention of following him, [HUGE POP] but is stopped by Cage with a running-off-the-guardrail-dropkick! Amazing! Both men are down! NR: Inside the ring, the Natural has just gotten up, and Cade is watching him intently, waiting for him to get to his feet... As he does, he sees Cade there waiting for him... he swings a groggy punch at Cade, which is ducked and *POP* converted by Cade into THE EXPRESS! Pin attempt! ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! The Natural has been eliminated from the match! LT: Cade stands up, with a grin on his face, hardly breaking a sweat! Once again, he's watching the others fight outside! Cage is thrown inside the ring now, and the Executioner soon follows.... Cade has taken control of Cage with a fireman's carry into a chestbreaker, followed by an elbowdrop to the throat! He goes for the pin! ONE! TWO!! Kick out! NR: The Executioner was about ready to step in and disrupt the count when Cage kicked out! He drags Cade to his feet and [HUGE POP] chokeslams him hard to the mat! He then picks up Cage and starts pounding on him like a rag doll! The Executioner sets Cage up for a chokeslam and [POP] Cage knees him in the groin! Desperation piledriver by Cage~ Cade is getting up slowly... Cage puts the Executioner into a figure-four leglock! Cade steps in and breaks up the submission! He grabs Cage, and [HUGE POP] slams him into THE EXPRESS! Cage is down! Pin! ONE! TWO!! TH-NO! Executioner broke up the count, but just BARELY! He obviously wants to get his hands on Cage! LT: Cade gets up as the Executioner splashes Cage, but doesn't bother holding it for a pin... Cade stands behind the Executioner, and taps him on the shoulder... Executioner spins around, [HUGE POP] right into THE EXPRESS! Quick pinfall attempt! ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! Executioner is GONE, and it's down to Christian Cage and Michael Cade! NR: Cage is bearly able to get up, and it's quite clear that he's groggy. Cade steps forward to take advantage but NO! [POP] Cage was faking it, he jumps up and over Cade, and rolls him up in a tight small package! ONE! TWO! THREE-NO! NO! That was not three, Cade kicked out at the VERY last second! LT: Cage jumps up, and seeing Cade get up, he pushes himself towards the ropes. [HUGE POP] Running spinning DDT! Cage picks Cade up, and kicks him in the back of the left knee... Cage runs at him...WOW! NR: Cade recovered and grabbed him into a sit-down powerbomb! Cage is up, but dizzy, and Cade reaches forward and grabs him... [HUGE POP] THE EXPRESS! THE EXPRESS! Cage takes a second Express! He's down for the count! Cade goes for the pin! ONE! TWO!! THREE!!! LT: That's it! It's over! Cade stands and the referee raises his arm as he is awarded the IWL Television Title! MJ: Here is your winner.... MMMMMMICHAELLLLLLL CAAAAAAAAAADE! [The Television Champion leaves with his newly acquired title, as the camera pans to the announcer's booth.] NR: Coming up next is the Hardcore Tag Team Title match! Stay tuned! |
