Legacy 23: Belfast Brawl

[Mr. Blood]

Legacy 23: Belfast Brawl
Live from SSE Arena, Belfast, Ireland
March 4th, 2024

We open from a commercial break outside of the arena. Laying on the ground is Anthony Jordan, knocked out. He is laying face down and there is blood pooling under his head. Suddenly you hear a voice.

Voice: “Get him up. We’re hitting him again.”

The voice sounds very familiar. There’s another voice that simply says “You Got It!”... You see a couple of hands reach down and lift Anthony Jordan up to his knees. His face is bloodied. You can’t see who is holding him, the camera angle just shows hands/arms holding him up. Suddenly Anthony is hit in the head with a barbed wire baseball bat. Again, he drops to the ground.

Voice: “Let’s go. We’ve got business to take care of. I have a Kingdom to defend.”

Tucker: “This doesn’t look good for Anthony Jordan. What’s this mean for his spot in the Elimination Chamber?”

Fulton: “And I wonder who attacked him.”

Tucker: “Are you kidding me? I think we all know what happened to him. It was that damn High Rollers Club. This is Wesley Crane’s way of taking out the competition.”

Fulton: “You have no proof of that.”

Tucker: “Wanna bet me?”

Fulton: “Sure, how much?”

Tucker: “$100.00”

Fulton: “You’re on.”

The camera starts fading… as the camera raises up a little to see what appears to be a group of guys all headed into the arena. All you see is a fuzzy shot of their backs. As the camera fades out, you hear Tucker yelling at Andrew.

Tucker: “Look at that! You’re going to owe me $100.00…”

Scene end.

Match: Brothers Gluck vs. Drake & Slam 3

The Empire enters with the usual boos, Slam 2 talking the two boys up to ignore the haters. Once in the ring Slam 3 takes to the ring.

Salazar: And their opponents…!

…rrriiiiiiissssseee…

Salazar: Hailing from the Mudflats of Mississippi, and weighing in at a combined weight of 581 lbs! CARLTON! CHAPPS! THE BRRRRRRROTHERS… GLUUUUUUUUCCCKKK!

♫ You take my home ♫

♫ And reduce it to a tired, satirical ♫

♫ Hillbilly reference ♫

♫ IT’S BEYOND OLD! ♫

♫ (I abhor the fucking arrogance) ♫

The Brothers Gluck walk out onto the stage. Carlton spreads his arms wide while Chapps drops to one knee in a thinker’s pose. He jumps up and starts to run to the ring, but Carlton grabs him by his shaggy hair, holding him back as the Glucks walk to the ring. At ringside Carlton lets go of Chapps. Carlton walks up the stairs, but Chapps jumps from the floor to the ring apron, and then over the top rope. They walk to the middle of the hardcam rope. Carlton puts one foot on the bottom rope and leans on the top rope with a roar while Chapps jumps to the middle and top ropes, raises his fists and howls.

Slam 3 wastes little time as he flies into both men during their entrance, followed by Drake rushing in to get a few cheap shots before the referee separates the parties demanding they go to their corners and pick their starting man. Slam 3 again opts first for the Empire while Carlton begins for the Glucks. As soon as the bell rings Slam 3 launches at Carlton aiming to club the bigger man only for Carlton to shoulder block stiffly sitting Slam3 on his bottom.

Tucker: “cheaters never prosper.”

Fulton: “blatant cheaters Tucker, never prosper. The Empire has skated by on dumb cheating skills.”

Carlton is working the smaller Slam3 over with Gluckplexes and stomps, and as Slam3 tries to make a tag he's drawn back by Carlton who tags in Chapps. The Glucks double level Slam3 before Cartlon does exit. Chapps lifts Slam3 up to his feet for a belly to belly gluckplex , on his feet Chapps jumps on the second turnbuckle and lands on Slam3 on a short cannonball drop, quick pin…

1…

2.

Slam3 kicks.

Torchwood: “The Glucks making Slam 3 miserable tonight…oh! Wait there is life.”

Slam 2 grabs the foot of Chapps giving Slam 3 a chance to bounce off the ropes after getting to his feet and firing back at Chapps with a missile dropkick down low, Chapps sinks to a knee, Slam 3 is off the ropes and lands another low drop kick before scrambling to jump and make the tag for Drake who launches into the ring making directly for Carlton and clotheslines him off the side of the ring. Drake meets a rising Chapps with a series of stomps to which Slam 3 has recovered and joined, the ref forces Slam3 out of the ring. Drake hits a quick double arm ddt, pin…

1…

Kick! Drake slams Chapps head off the ring before attempting to pick Chapps up, Chapps shoves Drake into the ropes and as Drake comes back a quick snapping Gluckplex! Chapps makes for the tag, the pair toss Drake into the corner and then hit a classic Gluck Truck! He goes for the pin but a Slam2 drags Carlton out as a flying forearm from Slam3 levels Chapps! Carlton exchanges blows with Slam2 before tossing the older man into the crowd. Slam3 has Chapps in a chokehold and fails to see Carlton back in the ring and therefore is dragged off of Chapps and is returned to the ground with a German Gluckplex! The ref clears the ring of the illegal men. Drake takes the advantage to low blow Carlton and jump tags Slam3, who goes to the top rope and lands on Carltons shoulders for a hurricana! Pin..

2…

Kick!

Slam2 climbs the side of the ring to argue with the ref but Chapps drop kicks Slam2 off the side! Drake tries to attack Carlton as the ref is distracted with Slam2 but Chapps dives past the ref leveling Drake with a solid dropkick! Both men are up but Chapps is quicker and spears Drake out of the ring! Carlton hits a Gluckbuster on the distracted Slam3…pin…

The bells rings as the Brothers Gluck win!

Match: Kasper Van Zant vs. Takaru Matsui

Salazar: The following contest is scheduled for one fall!

The fans cheered, and then the lights dim before a blast of pyros and flashing lights cover the ramp. And the robed figure of the man known as the Red Slayer steps from the back, nodding to the beat before he sweeps back his hood with an evil grin. He nods, dancing mockingly as he heads for the ring as the fans jeer.

Salazar: Entering the ring first, from Kyoto, Japan! Weighing in at 230 pounds, he is the Red Slayer! TAKARUUUUUUUU MATSUUUUUI!

The Red Slayer slides inside the ring, bouncing off the robes before he tosses off his ropes. He leans down, rocking from side to side as his eyes narrow on the ramp.

Tucker: Don’t let Matsui’s win loss record in WUK fool you, he is one of the most dangerous men in WUK! And he is looking to spoil the reign of Kasper Van Zant!

Torchwood: Matsui has been a thorn in the side of some of the WUK’s best stars from Watts to Hunter to Psychotic Goth! Kasper needs to be careful!

The guitar rift of 'Parsonz Curse' by Royal Thunder builds up as a shower of sparks fall across the entrance ramp, the camera follows a hooded Kasper Van Zant from her locker room, the WUK WorldHeavyweight title around her shoulders.

'I'm not gonna let it burn!

I'm not gonna let you see!

Fear is what you want!

Coming over me!'

Salazar: And his opponent, fighting out of Cedar Swamp, Louisiana! She is the reigning WUK World Heavyweight Champion KASPER VAN ZAAAAAAANT!

She blows past the camera man who follows her through the shower of sparks, Kasper bounces under the raining sparks bringing the title from her shoulder as she takes off down the ramp as fireworks launch staggering her path down the ramp before she dives under the bottom rope sliding into the center holding a rebel scum smirk the title held above her head. Jumping back to her feet she pulls the hoodie off and tosses it to someone in the front, she stands in her corner tracing the facing of the title seductively...waiting.

Fulton: I hope she enjoys that title while it lasts because it is coming home to Wesley Crane in Dublin!

Tucker: Here we go again!

The ref calls for the bell, and Matsui mocks the champion calling her in. And Kasper charges in before Matsui moves aside, and Kasper hits the ropes before turning to be leveled with a rolling dropkick from the Red Slayer! She stumbles against the ropes as the fans boo, and Matsui starts battering away at her with lightning kicks and punches.

He fires her at ropes, and spins around to hit a spinning backfist that rocks Kasper again! The fans boo, and Kasper rubs at her jaw angrily before Takaru grabs her to fling her into the corner.

Torchwood: Matsui using the champion’s impatience against her!

Tucker: Kasper needs to dial it down!

He drops back, and laughs before he runs in with a boot aimed at Kasper! But she moves aside at the last minute, and Takaru gets tangled on the ropes. Kasper starts firing off elbows and forearms into his back, battering at him before she grabs him for a massive backdrop! The fans cheer, and Kasper walks back and forth as she glares at the rising Takaru before she grabs for him!

But he twists, locking his arms and legs around her neck and shoulders as he goes for the Triangle Choke! The fans boo, and Kasper staggers to a knee as she shakes her head at the ref.

Fulton: Kasper in trouble!

Tucker: Matsui is a dangerous man!

Torchwood: He’s a dangerous veteran, and he is using the champion’s inexperience and temper against her!

Kasper struggles, before she starts to rise with a shake of her head as she hauls Matsui upwards with one arm still locked in his grip. She staggers a step or two, and then hammers him into the mat twice before her arm comes free!

Matsui rolls away, and Kasper rubs at her throat before she grabs him with a sudden lunge!

BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!

The fans cheer, and she snaps him at the ropes as he stumbles to his feet!

SIDE SLAM!

…….KICKOUT!

Tucker: So close!

Kasper frowns, shaking her head as she grabs Matsui to pull him to his feet once more! But the dangerous Red Slayer moves, and yanks her off balance to lock on the armbar! He leans back hard, twisting her arm as she grabs for the ropes!

Torchwood: Kasper needs to get out of this hold before she takes damage heading into te Chamber!

Fulton: You’re right! She should tap!

Kasper grabs for the ropes again, and locks onto them! The ref calls for the break, and Matsui keeps yelling to throw off his count before he finally breaks to a chorus of boos!

Kasper drags herself up the ropes, and Matsui shoves aside the ref to start driving stiff knees into her ribs and sides. He yanks her off the ropes, laughing at the ref before he hits the Double Underhook Driver! The fans boo, and he runs at the ropes!

SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT!

Matsui glared at the ref, and then he dragged Kasper to her feet.

Fulton: Slow count!

Tucker: You’re ridiculous!

The fans were booing as Matsui grabbed Kasper to pull her to her feet, and he smirked as he flung her at the ropes. But Kasper came off the ropes with a roar, and hit a huge clothesline! The fans cheered, and Matsui was down before she grabbed him to fling him across her shoulder!

RUNNING FRONT POWER SLAM!

Torchwood: Kasper using her power to change the complexion of this match! And Belfast loves it!

Tucker: Matsui in trouble now!

Kasper waited for Matsui to rise, and went for the Jawclacker! But Matsui ducked low, and grabbed her from behind for a quick suplex! The fans booed, and he dropped back into the corner as he motioned for her to rise with a wild grin. He bounced on his feet, and his eyes narrowed as she started to rise!

Fulton: Matsui going for the kill!

Torchwood: KINSHASA!

But Kasper moved out of the way, having the move scooted! And she grabbed the Red Slayer as he came off the ropes!

DISASSOCIATION!

………KICKOUT!

Kasper was staring, stunned in disbelief as she came to her feet. Matsui staggered to his feet, laughing before he charged at Kasper. Firing off knees and blows at his ribs and side, before he flung her at the corner. She came off, and he caught her with a suplex! Kasper staggered to her feet, and he ducked low before he ran at her with the Kinshasa!

But Kasper dove out of the way, and Matsui fumed. Kasper rose up, laughing with a shrug before he glared at her. Then he snapped his head forward, and blew a spray of bright red mist into her face! The champion howled, grabbing at her face and eyes as Takaru laughed before he shoved aside the ref.

The bell rang, and Kasper flailed angrily as she wiped at her eyes.

Salazar: Your winner by Disqualification! KASPER VAN ZANT!

Tucker: Disgusting display by Takaru Matsui!

Fulton: Kasper shouldn’t have crossed the Red Slayer!

(The Dark Stars are in their locker room preparing for their triple threat tag team championship match with Epcot Mafia and Rage and Cage. They are fully suited up and start their warm ups with full aggression building up inside them as they continue their warm ups and Commandrix gives them their final instructions. The door opens and Katie Moss enters to what is considered to be laser like glares.)

Commandrix: "What can we do for you Katie?"

Katie Moss: "You look upset about something."

Commandrix: "It's nothing much but tonight The Dark Stars intend to regain what they never truly lost close to months and almost a year ago."

Niko: "For all this time The Dark Stars, myself and Kono, have been pursuing our Wrestle: UK Tag Team Championships from the time we lost them to The Bastards who ran like cowards."

Kono: "Meanwhile we stayed like real gladiators and showed our loyalty to Mr. Blood and Wrestle: UK. Then there's Rage and Cage, who are completely stoned and still vaping as your world calls it."

Commandrix: "So are you still loyal to Wesley Crane despite everything you've done for him."

Katie Moss: "What do you mean."

Commandrix: "My intel says that after The War Games Match Wesley Crane ordered up some ladies up to his room after you left."

Katie Moss: "He what!"

Commandrix: "It's the truth."

Niko: "Be assured that we shall deprive Rage and Cage the opportunity to regain our Wrestle: UK Tag Team Championships. Rage and Cage won't know what hit them when we're through with them."

Katie Moss: "You forgot Epcot Mafia."

Kono: "We haven't forgotten Epcot Mafia and we shall battle our way to victory since we are gladiators."

Niko: "That's what we are and that's what we do best and that's battle our way to victory and make war on our opponents."

Katie Moss: "Since it's a rematch what will you do differently."

Niko: "We plan on doing what we do best and that's commit total annihilation."

Kono: "Commit to mass destruction."

Niko: "Destroy our opponents in whatever means necessary."

Kono: "Leave nothing but total carnage and ruin. That's the gladiator way and that's The Dark Star way and shall always be our way."

Katie Moss: "It sounds like you are focused on this match."

Commandrix: "The Dark Stars are focused and they are going to prove that they are focused. They have been preparing and sharpening both their aggressio0n and their discipline. Be assured they will be ready and you shall see The Dark Stars become two time Wrestle: UK Tag Team Champions."

Katie Moss: "Some are feeling that yopu reached the end of your careers."

(The Dark Stars faces grow ominous and dark.)

Niko: "Tell us who said we were coming to an end of our careers in Wrestle: UK."

Kono: "Tell us who would dare insult our honor and dignity Katie Moss."

(Commandrix hand signals them to back off.)

Commandrix: "Who told you something that is a lie."

Katie Moss: "That's what I've been hearing and I don't know who was spreading that."

Niko: "If there's one thing that fires up The Dark Stars into uncontrollable rage and fury it's rumors and lies. We shall deal with all these lies and prove to everyone that The Dark Stars don't appreciate rumors and lies."

Kono: "You see we're motivated enough as it is and now we're going to be really fired up which shall be trouible for Rage and Cage and Epcot Mafia."

Commandrix: "One last thing Katie Moss. It's The Dark Stars destiny to regain what they never lost and they shall fulfill it no matter the odds and no matter who The Dark Stars pin or submit first. The Dark Stars shall not fail and shall rise into the stratosphere again. Come. It's time to conduct our business."

(The Dark Stars and Commanxdrix and Terminatrix leave Katie Moss in the locker room.)

Katie Moss: "I don't know what The Dark Stars are up to but it seems they are fired up and ready for war. Back to you guys."

(The scene slowly fades to black.)

Match: Cheez vs. Eron Hunter

Salazar: The following contest is scheduled for one round! Entering the ring at this time, weighing in at 185 pounds from Madison, Wisconsin! This is the man they call Cheez!

Cheez, nervously poked his head out of the curtain, before tucking in back in. Suddenly the crowd begins to chant his name, before the camera shows him amongst the fans in crowd, hi-fiving them as he jumps the guardrail and smiles at camera, before sliding into the ring.

The fans cheer, and Cheez nods as he paces back and forth.

Salazar: And his opponent fighting out of Sicily at 210 pounds! This is Eron Hunter!

A simple entrance, without much fanfare. The music starts and he appears from backstage making his way to the ring.

Tucker: Cheez faces an uphill battle tonight against the former WUK World Heavyweight Champion!

Fulton: Cheez should just be happy that the High Rollers have forgotten about him!

Tucker: Cheez has more heart than any of those bastards, and we all know it!

The pair head for the middle of the ring, staring each other down before Hunter holds out his hand. The fans cheer as they shake hands and step back before the bell rings. They circle back and forth, and then Cheez darts in to roll behind him going for a suplex! Hunter blocks the move, and rolls behind Cheez for an attempt of his own. Cheez scrambles forward, ducking low to block before he comes back around to hook a leg! The fans cheer, and Hunter is rolled up before coming through to roll up Cheez who comes aside.

Torchwood: A display of technical wrestling here in the early going, and Belfast loves it!


Tucker: All this sportsmanship is killing you!

The two circled again, and Hunter lunged forward to snap Cheez at the corner. Cheez hit the ropes, and stumbled forward to get caught with a dropkick! The fans cheered, and Cheez rolled to his feet as Hunter rolled at him. He stepped back, lifting his foot before he snapped a karate kick at Hunter!

Hunter staggered back, and Cheez drove him into the corner!

Fulton: Hunter fell for that?

Tucker: Would you stop?

Cheez charged in, and fired off an elbow smash! The fans groaned, and he hit another before he pulled Hunter free to catch him with the JACKBOX DRIVER!

Torchwood: Cheez is fast, and his opponents overlook that!

Fulton: I wonder why!

Clothesline!

DRAGON SLEEPER!

Fulton: Ring the bell!
Tucker: What is wrong with you!


Hunter wrenches back on the hold, and leans into it! But Cheez shakes his head at the ref, and struggles to get free before he twists. And then he kicks out with his foot, fading as he misses once!

Then twice!


But his foot hooks it! The fans explode, and Hunter breaks the hold with a smile. Cheez rises, and grabs Hunter’s foot as he fires off a kick!

Enzuigiri!

Torchwood: Cheez rocked by that! These fans are eating it up!

Cheez stumbles back, and Hunter fires off a few forearms before he fires him at the ropes once more! He goes for a lariat, but Cheez ducks low before coming off the rebound to catch Hunter with the MORPH BALL BOMB!

The fans cheer, and Cheez covers!

Match: Sinclair Godfrey vs. Preston Andre Reese

Commonwealth Championship Match

Salazar: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is for the WUK Commonwealth Championship!

The fans cheer, and Frank nods as he gestures towards the ramp.

Video Preview

Those cheers turn to boos, and rockets whistle down to explode against the backside of the ramp. A shower of sparks falls, and then the one and only Preston Reese stepped from the back. He spread his arms wide, and he smirked at the jeering fans before he undid the belt at his waist. The long coat he wore fell open, and he headed for the ring laughing at the fans as Frank continued.

Salazar: Representing the High Roller’s Club out of Los Angeles, California at 225 pounds! This is the Challenger! PRESTON ANDRE REESE!

The former champion pauses on the stairs, lifting his arms once more before he flings his coat the ring attendant. He steps inside, pacing back and forth before he checks the ropes before he walks back and forth.

Salazar: And his opponent, she is the reigning and defending WUK Commonwealth Champion! Representing Donzig-gun, they call her the Baroness! This is Sinclair Godfrey!
Video Preview

The lights went down, and the arena went dark before flames leapt into the air with a bang. And Sinclair swept from the back, spreading her arms wide as she paused at the top of the ramp. She gestured at the belt around her waist, and then headed for the ring with a shake of her head.

She climbed inside, and glared at Reese before she dragged the belt off to hold it high. Then she handed it to the ref, and Reese stepped closer. The pair stared each other down, and then the ref called for the bell.

Fulton: Reese takes the belt back tonight!

Tucker: This match could get ugly. Sinclair and Reese are both not nice people.

Reese snapped Sinclair at the ropes, and Sinclair ducked them on the rebound. She fires off the other ropes to hit a crossbody, and Reese was covered!

Torchwood: Sinclair going for the early win!

Reese came to his feet, and Sinclair spun to fire off a kick at his head. Reese barely got out of the way, and Sinclair pressed the advantage to start firing off strikes that drove him into the corner. She battered away at him, firing off kicks and punches before darting back. She ran in, hammering an elbow into his face!

Fulton: No! Sinclair is trying to shorten his career!

Tucker: What?

The Baroness grabbed the ropes, and shoved her foot into his throat. She leaned back hard, choking him as the ref called for the break. But Sinclair held to the five, and then drew back with a glare at the man before she grabbed Reese once more to hit a quick snap suplex!

The fans went wild, and Reese grabbed for the ropes! He tried to pull himself towards them, staring as the Baroness yanked back on his head and neck! The Son of the Superstar shook his head, grabbing wildly before he caught the ref to jerk him off his feet!

Fulton: Brilliant!

Tucker: Cheating! That was blatant contact with an official!

Torchwood: Reese is willing to do anything to reclaim the Commonwealth Championship!

The fans were booing as Reese rolls outside the ring, and he shoves aside a few fans before he grabs a steel chair. He rolls back inside, and hammers the edge of it against the mat before he glares at Sinclair as she starts to rise. Then he pulls it back, and steps back before he charges in to swing it at the Baroness.

But Sinclair steps back, and fires off a spin kick that cracks the chair into Reese’s face! He drops backwards, staggering before Sinclair scoops up the chair! She cracks it across his head, and blood flows before she flings it from the ring.

Fulton: What was that?!

Salazar: Your winner and still WUK Commonwealth Champion, Sinclair Godfrey!

Backstage, the Epcot Mafia are already looking up high performance luxury cars they plan on buying with their winnings.

Gazoo:
Shouldn't you two be preparing?

Florida Man:
Good thinking, Gaz.

Placing a bid on the Bugatti, Florida Man leaves his laptop open on the craft service table, crossing the hall to catch referee Toby Hall. Before the official can react, FML has slipped something into his palm.

Florida Man:
That Kono sure has a great kick- bet it could put me down at the thirteen minute mark.

Referee Toby Hall:
What are you doing?

Florida Man (winking except his mask doesn't do that):
THIRTEEN MINUTES, kick to the jaw, definitely down for three.

Referee Toby Hall (looking at hand):
This is a food stamp?

Florida Man (hands on hips indignantly):
Are you saying you can't be bribed?

Referee Toby Hall:
I can't be bribed with a food stamp.

Florida Man:
I'll have you know that is almost as good as folding money in some places! (checking pockets before turning to partner) Yo Marty, you got the rest of the petty cash?

Marty Donovan (looking up from a Ferrari):
Put the last of it on Kono.

Florida Man:
Drat. (emptying pockets) Would you accept three marbles, a bobby pin, and a pornographic ace of spades playing card with french mustard smeared on it?

The green painted dwarf drags FML away from the referee before the champs can be stripped of their titles for obstructing an official.

Gazoo:
What are you doing?

Marty Donovan:
Rage and Cage are members of the High Rollers, which made the Dark Stars go off on a gambling kick. Only Flo actually watched their promo, and discovering that there was a betting outfit desperate enough to lay odds on wrestling matches, we discovered that backing the Dark Stars would let us make a killing. We'll miss the tag titles, sure, but we can always win them back next show, and we're pretty sure all the money we win will fill the emotional hole the belts leave behind.

Florida Man:
That about covers it.

Gazoo (shaking his head):
........I expect this kind of thing from Flo, but don't you have legal counsel of your own, Mister Donovan?

Marty Donovan (looking scared):
What would Ollie do?

Gazoo:
Aren't Dark Stars the intergalactic, time traveling gladiators?

Florida Man:
Swell guys, they actually helped us gang beat Rage and Cage a while back - it was like a sleepover party in prison.

Marty Donovan:
That was the War Games I hate the least. Good times. I'm happy we're letting them win the tag titles.

Florida Man (nodding):
Me too.

Gazoo:
But since time travel is a factor... wouldn't they already know the outcome of tonight's match, before they suggested gambling on the result?

The Epcot Mafia give each other pained glances.

Florida Man:
Wait........ did The Dark Stars almost outsmart us?

Marty Donovan:
I hate when that happens!

Florida Man:
Damn it, well now we have to retain!

Marty Donovan:
The Dark Stars are going to pay for this - which sucks, because Rage and Cage are the ones we actually have animosity with-

Florida Man (triple take):
Wait, Toby kept my food stamp!

Marty Donovan:
Quick - we have to get it back from Toby before he lets Kono beat you in thirteen minutes!

Florida Man:
Damn. It's not easy being champ...

With that the Epcot Mafia race down the hallway looking to mug an official. Champions with integrity who would never purposely drop a belt for the purposes of gambling.

Match: The Oblivion Death Squad vs. The Bull & The Bird

WUK Tag Team Championship Tournament Match

Salazar: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, and is a WUK Tag Team Tournament Match! The winner of this match will advance to face the winner of the other Tournament Match at St. Patrick’s Massacre to be crowned Number One Contender!

The fans in Belfast were on their feet, cheering as the lights dimmed. There was a blast of pyros, and then ‘Out of Exile’ by Audioslave hits. The men known as Bull and Bird march from the back, glaring at the fans before they head for the ring.

Salazar: Weighing in at 511 pounds, fighting out of Cedar Swamp, Louisiana! They are the Van Zant Brothers! Grant and Joaquin! They call them Bull and Bird!

Bird leaps onto the apron, turning to lean on the ropes as he sneers at the jeering fans. Bull climbs the stairs, and steps between the ropes to stalk back and forth. Bird leaps over them joining him before they turn their angry stares up the ramp.

Fulton: The Van Zant Brothers have not forgotten the violence they suffered at the hands of the ODS over the summer!

Tucker: Bull and Bird know what is at stake here, but can they keep their tempers in check?

Torchwood: I am excited for this one, lads!

The lights went down, and then flared to life a sullen red as ‘Eye of the Storm’ by Archenemy thundered through the speakers. And the two hulking figures stomped from the back, glaring at the ring from behind their masks. They walked back and forth, hammering their chests before bellowing at the fans.

Then Mormo headed down the ramp, pointing angrily at the ring as Moloch followed him. They paused at the bottom, pulling off their masks before one slid under the ropes as the other made his way up the stairs. They stormed back and forth, Moloch being restrained by his brother.
Tucker: The Death Squad in a fury here tonight!

Torchwood: Mormo and Moloch are dangerous men, and looking for a fight!

Moloch stomps forward, and Grant Van Zant glares at him. The pair facing off before the ref called for the bell, and the fans cheer as Grant starts firing of punches at the big man. He batters away at him, throwing punch after punch that rocks him backwards. Grant fires him at the ropes, and Moloch comes off hard with a huge shoulder block!

Grant staggers back hitting the ropes, before he is leveled with a Spinebuster! The fans cheer, and Bull is down before Moloch stomps away at him. He drags him to his feet, shoving him into the corner before he runs in with a thunderous elbow!

URANAGE!

Tucker: Grant Van Zant somehow breaking the pin!

Fulton: I can’t believe it!

Moloch curses at the ref, gesturing angrily before he drags Van Zant to his feet. He casts a glare at the other, before he starts driving stiff shots into Bull’s head before he flings him at the ropes. He goes for a lariat, and Bull ducks to dive for the tag!

Moloch turns, and Joaquin comes off the corner with a huge dropkick! Moloch is rocked off his feet, and the smaller Van Zant is on him punching and kicking before he locks on an armbar! The big man tries to shake him off, grabbing for the ropes!

But as the ref looks away, Grant grabs his brother’s arm to haul them back as well as tighten the hold! The fans boo, and Moloch misses the ropes the ref doesn’t see the teamwork! He looks back to Moloch, and they do it again!

Torchwood: Bull and Bird using every advantage they can against the dangerous Moloch!

Tucker: You mean cheating?
Fulton: Only cheating if the ref sees it!

Mormo on the other hand has seen enough, and comes out of the corner with a snarl. The ref waves his hands, pushing the bigger man back as Bull and Bird double team Mormo. They stomp and batter away at him, and the fans are furious as Mormo argues with the ref!


Tucker: Mormo is livid! But he is hurting his partner!

Fulton: The horror.

The ref misses it all, and Joaquin leaps onto the turnbuckle before he comes off with the 'rising Phoenix setting Cajun'!

…….BIRD IS FLUNG OFF!

Belfast is on it’s feet, and Moloch rises with a roar of Albanian rage. And he grabs Bird to fling him across the ring, and then he levels Bull with a huge elbow before he storms back and forth. He grabs Joaquin, and hits a brainbuster before he makes the tag to Mormo.

Torchwood: Bull and Bird have upset the ODS!

THE SNAP!

COVER!

……

……GRANT MAKES THE SAVE DIVING ACROSS THE RING!

Fulton: Yes!


Tucker: So close!

The fans are going wild as Grant laughs, ignoring the ref before his laugh dies as a huge gloved hand grabs him by the throat. Mormo drags him close, and wraps a second hand around his throat before he hits a chokeslam!

Grant sprawls, and rolls from under the ropes as Mormo yells after him. Joaquin is back on his feet shaking his head as he drags himself upwards. Then Mormo roars in at him, and he pulls the ropes low to send the big man and the ref both to the outside!

Torchwood: This match is breaking down!

Tucker: This is chaos in Belfast!


Joaquin looks around, and then steps to the apron before he runs off to deliver a Tornado DDT to the cement on Mormo! He grins, stumbling to his feet before he is yanked backwards to be backdropped across the barricade by Moloch! The fans go wild as he falls among the front row, and then Moloch charges to drive a huge knee into the face of the rising Grant!

Fulton: Typical! No rules for Donzig-gun!

Tucker: They’re not the ones who took out the ref!

Moloch grabs Grant, and drops a few heavy blows across his shoulders before he drags him around the ring. And then he flings aside the cover of the Welsh announce table as everyone scrambles, and then he grabs him.

OBLIVION DRIVER!

Tucker: DEAR GOD!

Torchwood: Grant Van Zant is broken in half!

The place is going wild, and Moloch slams his fist into his chest as he stomps around in a rage. He roars at the fans, and then he bumps forearms with Mormo before they grab the slowly rising Joaquin. They fling him inside the ring, and Belfast is going wild.

REALITY FALLS!


Tucker: It’s over!

Fulton: Joaquin broken in half!

Cover!

……


……

…….No referee!

The fans boo, and Mormo snarls as he looks up.

Torchwood: The referee is still out cold!

Tucker: This can’t be happening!

The fans are furious, and Moloch rolls to the outside before noise runs through the arena! Two men leap across the barricade wearing classic wrestling gear. One is a big brute of a man, and the other is tall and menacing! The brute runs at Moloch, driving him hard into the ringpost before he grabs him around the waist!

GERMAN SUPLEX!

The fans are losing it, and Mormo glares at the taller one as he starts to climb the apron.

Tucker: Who are these men?

Torchwood: Dreienhalb! The hottest tag team in Germany! I can’t believe it! That is Jakob Seiben facing iff with Mormo!

The man stepped forward, nodding as he glares at the hulking Mormo. And then the pair start trading punches, battering away at each other before Mormo fires him at the ropes! And the other rolls inside, and delivers a chopblock to Mormo!

He staggers, and his brother grabs him to deliver a thunderous Belly to Belly! Mormo is down, and the tall one points at the ropes while barking orders!


Fulton: This can’t be happening!

Torchwood: Jäime Seiben on the ropes! This is bad news!

He leaps off with a cannonball senton that crashes down on Mormo, and then Dreienhalb hugs in the ring. Grinning before they slide from the ring, Jakob flinging the ref back inside as he sneers at the booing fans.

Tucker: No! Not like this! No!

Joaquin barely aware of what has happened, laughs wildly before he makes the cover!

…..

………THREE!

Torchwood: Dreienhalb has just declared war on the Oblivion Death Squad! What is this all about!


Tucker: I can’t believe what I am seeing!

Fulton: I am going to send our crack interview teams to see if we can get a few words with the Seiben Brothers!

The Seiben Brothers are heading up the ramp, clearly amused with the situation as the furious ODS glares back at them. Meanwhile the Van Zant Brothers are leaning against the barricade, grinning if confused as Mormo drags himself to his feet.

Salazar: Your winners and advancing to St. Patrick’s Massacre, BULL & BIRD!!!

[Mr. Blood]

The lights in the arena go pitch black. “We Be Clubbin’,” the theme song for the High Rollers Club, blares across the speakers. With every beat of the song, the lights flicker plum purple.

“Yaeeyaae uh huh uh huh brrr
We be clubbin'
Heyy hey heyy heyy look here look here first of all I want to welcome
All y'all broke ass entrepo****** to the Player's Club. Yaeeyaae

With a stack of numbers

Down ta get this mothafuckin' party crackin'
[Nah, Bro back in so we can smoke a dub
Down ta bump all these bitches at the club (Yaeeyaae)
Show me love
We be clubbin'...”

Rage & Cage and Preston Andre Reese walk out from the back. Lights still flashing with the beat of the music. Suddenly sparkles(firework kinds, not the kind that make Edward glisten) shower the entranceway, falling from above. From behind the glow of sparkles, steps out “The High Roller” Wesley Crane. He’s dressed in his wrestling gear and has the Two Kingdoms Championship over his left shoulder. Behind Wesley is SZK and Warrick, both guarding the back of the Champion. Wesley opens his arms wide open until the sparkles stop falling. He closes his arms and adjusts his championship. After that, he reaches up and lowers his $1,000 custom made aviator glasses. He looks around at the booing fans and just gives them a cocky grin. The High Rollers Club all walk to the ring together. Warrick and SZK stay outside to guard the entranceway. The rest of the “Club” climb the stairs to enter the ring.Once inside the ring, Preston grabs a microphone and hands it to Wesley. Wesley just grins.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “What a night, huh? You’re all here and you get to witness the greatest Champion WUK has, defend his championship against a bum. Eli, you and I are about to go to war. I sure hope you’re bringing your “A” game because anything less than that and you’re not walking out on your own accord.”

Wesley looks around at the booing fans.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “As for the action we’ve seen here tonight… bad luck for Anthony Jordan, eh?”

“Evenflow” begins playing. Everyone turns their attention to the entrance. Wesley begins yelling out orders to the High Rollers Club.

“The High Roller” Wesley Crane: “GET UP THAT RAMP. DON’T LET THAT SON OF A BITCH LEAVE HERE ALIVE!”

Reese, Rage & Cage all leave the ring and rush up the ramp with Warrick and SZK. The fans get anxious. Someone has jumped the barricade. They’re wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. They slide in behind Wesley Crane. They get down in a three point stance. As soon as Crane turns around, SPEAR/TACKLE. The roof almost pops off the roof as the mystery person lowers his hood to reveal…

KALMIN WATTS!!!

The High Rollers Club realize they’ve been duped and are now running down the ramp to try to get to Watts. Watts slides out of the ring, jumps the barricade and celebrates with the fans. The High Rollers Club all get in the ring and check on Crane, who is holding his ribs in pain.

Tony Blood walks through the door of the office, and blinks as he sees Frank Wormwood looking mortified behind his desk. And then he yelps as the door is ripped from his grasp, and someone grabs him by the throat to slam him hard into the wall. His eyes widen, and his mouth gapes open as his face reddens. Eyes bulge and he clads at a huge forearm as he stares into the black skull mask of Moloch.

Mormo steps from behind the door, and Sinclair tsks.

Sinclair Godfrey: I was just discussing with Mister Wormwood that Donzig-gun wants Dreienhalb. And I just know you don’t want to tell Moloch no.

Moloch growls, and Blood gurgles as he nods quickly. He drops him to the floor, and Mormo pulls him back as Sinclair stares with a faint frown. Then she looks at Wormwood, and produces a vellum envelope.

Sinclair Godfrey: By the way, he wants you to leave a spot for a match.

Tony Blood He?

Sinclair arches a brow, amused.

Sinclair Godfrey: Say his name and he appears, for name him and he is always near.

Tony Blood What does that even mean? Is that code?

Blood frowned, rubbing at his neck as he started to rise. Mormo growled, and Moloch stepped closer as Blood jerked back. Wormwood took the envelope, and held up his hands.

Frank Wormwood: I’ll take care of everything.

Sinclair Godfrey: See that you do, because he is not as generous as I am.

Donzig-gun left, the door slamming behind them.

Match: Epcot Mafia vs. Rage & Cage vs. the Dark Stars
Triple Threat Tag Match for the WUK Tag Team Championships

Salazar: The following contest is schedule for one fall, and is a TRIPLE THREAT Match for the WUK Tag Team Championship!

The fans cheered, and ‘Nic Cage’ thundered across the arena drawing a chorus of boos. From the back came Rage and Cage, the pair high fiving before they started down the ramp. Ignoring the fans, and they climbed inside the ring tom pace back and forth.

Salazar: Fighting out of the High Roller’s Club at 432 pounds! They are ‘Woke’ Wesley Rage, and ‘Honest’ Nic Cage! They are called RAGE AND CAGE!

The fans boo, and Rage frowns at them before he looks up the ramp.

Salazar: And their opponents, entering the ring at 450 pounds from the Dark Side of the Galactic Rim! Accompanied by Commandrix! NICO! KONO! THESE ARE THE DARK STARS!

The Tron shows a dying star which explodes and two spinning graphics which morph into Kono and Terminatrix who march to ringside with a purpose through lasers with intense ominous and murderous expressions on their faces. Kono holds the ropes open and he mounts the top turnbuckle while Terminatrix stands in the center of the ring. They roar and shoot their weapons upwards as Kono does a high backflip off the top turnbuckle into a fighting crouch as lasers shoot from the ringposts. They place their weapons into the corner and she gives Kono final instructions the same intense and ominous and murderous expressions on their faces.

Rage backs up, holding up his hands as the Dark Stars glare murder at him. They stalk back and forth, and Cage winks at Commandrix. Kono lunges for him, but the referee holds them apart as the fans cheer.

‘Rambling Man’ fills the arena, and a burst of pyro before a mobility scooter rolls out of the back. Florida Man drives it, bent low over the steering controls with the WUK Tag Team Title around his lower face. He guns the scooter’s engine, and it rolls slightly faster.

Marty Donovan is on the back, holding his own title high as the scooter rolls down the ramp. It circles the ring before halting. The champs roll inside the ring, and waste no time getting in the face of the challengers. And then the referee calls for order.

Salazar: And their opponents entering at 416 pounds! They are the reigning and defending WUK Tag Team Champions! Florida Man! Marty Donovan!

They call them EPCOT MAFIA!

The fans cheer wildly, and they hold up the belts before the referee points.

Torchwood: Under the rules of this match only two teams can be in the ring at any time, so the Champions may not even be involved in the decision!

Fulton: The belts they stole from Rage and Cage you mean! This is ridiculous! This should be a one on one rematch!

Kono looks to start against Florida, and they head for the center of the ring as the bell rings. Flo holds up a hand, and he drags out a wad of what appears to be food stamps. He holds them out in a wide fan to Kono, who glares down at them. Kono’s eyes narrow, and he slaps them away in a shower of paper before he grabs Florida to fling him at the ropes!

He nails a quick shoulderblock, and the fans groan as Flo staggers back before being hit with a backfist! Florida drops, and sprawls out cold which makes Kono blink as the ref checks on Florida Man.

Tucker: Flo is down!

Florida tells the ref he is most assuredly out cold. The referee demands he get up, but Florida says he is still out! Kono glares at them, and stomps over before he grabs for Florida Man only to be rolled up!

1…

…..KICKOUT!

Fulton: That man is a disgrace!

Tucker: The Lizard Man or the alien?

Kono is livid, and he spins around only to be hammered away by Florida Man. Punch after punch before he is flung into the corner, and he charges in with a splash! Then he bites and gouges at him before he draws back to tag Marty.
Torchwood: Florida Man making the quick tag!

The fans are cheering as Marty comes inside, and grabs Kono to deliver a few chops. And then he hits a quick inverted atomic drop! Kono is down, and starts towards his corner before Marty drags him back to drop a quick elbow!

Cover!

1….

…..KICKOUT!

Marty starts to rise, but Kono grabs him to lock on a single leg boston crab! The fans explode, and Kono leans back hard as Marty grabs for the ropes. Florida stomps his foot to urge him on, and Marty drags himself before he lunges for the rope!

Kono dives for the tag, and Niko leaps across the ropes to charge at Marty. He starts firing of punches and chops, stomping at him before he grabs him for a brutal suplex! The fans boo, and Marty shakes his head as he rolls for his corner.

Torchwood: The Dark Stars showing no mercy!

Tucker: Marty could be in trouble!


Niko grabs Marty’s leg dragging him towards the center of the ring, rolling him over with a smirk. But Marty fires off a few stiff kicks to drive him back, and then he dives for the tag! Florida Man runs inside, and levels Niko with a clothesline! He grabs him as he rises for a BACKDROP DRIVER!

Florida Man looks around wildly, and then drops a quick elbow before he hits another!

He grabs his legs!

NEVER STOP SPINNING AIRPLANE SPIN!

Fulton: Everyone knows that move will not work on Niko! The Dark Stars are immune to getting dizzy!

Tucker: What?

Flo releases Niko, and drops back to wait for him to rise. Then he fires off the SWEET CROTCH MUSIC! But Niko dives aside, and he grabs Florida to deliver a release German! The fans groan, and Niko drops back only to have Rage slap his shoulder!

TAG!

Niko glares, and Rage waves him off with a grin.

Tucker: Rage just stole a tag! He is going to steal the hard work of Niko!

Fulton: Listen to yourself, what a capitalist lapdog!

The fans are furious as Rage delivers a few kicks to the rising Florida Man before he knocks him into the corner. And he starts stomping a mudhole, talking trash as he lays the boots into the tag champion! Then he drags him to his feet, and fires off a flapjack that snaps Florida’s head off the ropes!

Torchwood: Rage laying into Florida Man!

Tucker: Easy to do when Niko does half of the work!

The fans are furious, and Rage runs across the ring to deliver a #RESIST to Marty! Then he tags in Cage, and the fans boo as they drag Florida to his feet!

COMPETING BODYSLAMS!


Fulton: What a display of power!


Tucker: You can’t be serious!

The fans are booing, and the pair hug before Cage goes for the cover.

But the Dark Stars charge into the ring, Cage is kicked off before they grab him for the Star-Killer! The referee calls for them to get out of the ring, but they batter away at him before Kono grabs Rage to deliver a SNAKE EYES IN THE CORNER!

The fans are cheering, and Rage is flung to the outside.

Torchwood: The Dark Stars have had enough of the nonsense it seems!


Fulton: Someone get them out of the ring!


Florida Man is back on his feet, and he stares at the Dark Stars as they turn away from Rage to stare at him. They start forward, and Florida Man shrugs before he runs forward to duck under their arms. He hits the far side of the ropes, and comes off with a double bulldog!

Tucker: The Dark Stars are down!

Florida Man stumbles, and staggers to make the tag to Marty!

Then he runs at Niko, dropping them both to the outside! Belfast is on it’s feet, and they start brawling on the outside. Rage slides inside the ring, and runs at Marty only to be tackled by Kono! They start brawling back and forth, and Commandrix yells at her boys as Marty’s eyes narrow on Cage.

DIS-KNEE!

Torchwood: Marty Donovan just delivered the killshot to Cage!

Fulton: NO! NO!

1…..

The fans are going wild as Marty makes the cover, and Commandrix screams as she dives for the ring. But the scooter rolls forward with a sudden blur of movement, and clips her as she is nearly in the ring. She topples from the apron, and lands in the basket before it smacks into the barricade!

Tucker: Oh, my god!

2.…..

……

Rage dives for the referee, but Kono has ahold of him still!

…….THREE!

Salazar: Your winner and STILL WUK TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS! MARTY DONOVAN! FLORIDA MAN! EPCOT MAFIA!

[Mr. Blood]

The fans cheer as Wormwood and Blood appear on the Padding-tron, and Frank smiles before he motions to Tony Blood. Blood nods, and lifts some papers before he adjusts his tie.

Tony Blood We have some major announcements concerning ‘St. Patrick’s Massacre’ live from Belfast!

First of all, Anthony Jordan being unable to compete has negotiated for his client Kalmin Watts to take his place inside the Elimination Chamber!

Frank claps, and the fans cheer.

Tony Blood The WUK Commonwealth Title is going to be defended at the request of the Baroness Sinclair Godfrey, and it will inside a CHAOS LADDER match which takes place inside of the Elimination Chamber.

Every 5 minutes, a pod will open allowing another competitor to enter the ring! Once all six are inside the Chamber, the winner will be whoever pulls down the Commonwealth Title from the top of the chamber!

It will be:

Sinclair Godfrey

Wesley Rage

Otto Ritter

Olympia

Cheez

And Takaru Matsui!

Frank Wormwood: Last but not least, Psychotic Goth will face Kira Izumi of JROK in an IRISH STRAP MATCH! And the winner will be named NUMBER ONE CONTENDER to face the WUK World Heavyweight Champion at WUK DOMINION from Sydney, Australia on May 27th!

The fans explode, and the screen fades to black.

Match: Wesley Crane vs. Eli Dresden

Three Stages of Hell: The Two Kingdoms Championship

Salazar: The following contest is a Three Stages of Hell match for the Two Kingdoms Championship! The first fall will be decided by a regular match, the second fall will be determined by a street fight, and the final fall will take place instead of a steel cage!

Winning maybe achieved by escaping the cage or pinfall!

The fans cheered, and Frank nods before he gestures towards the ramp.

Salazar: Entering first the challenger from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania! She is the one and only, ELI DRESDEEEEEN!


'Untouchable' hits the sound system as the overhead lights dim, the crowd loudly cheering for the woman that is about to emerge. Blue and white lights flash along the rampway as spotlights of similar shades swirl over the crowd... and Eliza Dresden doesn't make them wait for long. Bounding out from behind the curtain, Dresden is quick to make her way to the top of the ramp with Jason Long's technicolor light-up shades shoved up to act like a headband of sorts--and once she's there? She thrusts the latter into the air, earning a fresh wave of cheers. Of course, since she can't be idle for long, Eli is quick to bounce and poing her way down to the ring, darting from side to side to slap offered hands and otherwise play to the crowd. It's about three-fourths of the way down the ramp that she abandons that, speeding up to slide into the ring headfirst on her stomach before she twists onto her back and kips up to her feet. She's quick to mount the nearest turnbuckle, shoving a fist skyward to more of that positive reaction from the fans before she's popping back down and turning to look toward the middle of the ring. As her music fades, she hands the glasses over to a production assistant before bouncing around on the balls of her feet, eagerly waiting for the match to get underway.

Fulton: Eli out here fighting a machine, and these fans are responsible for anything that happens!
Tucker: Maybe Eli knows Crane had to steal a win off of her, and she wants the belt that should rightfully be hers!

Fulton: I don’t know why anyone would listen to anti-High Roller mouthpiece like you, Tucker!

Torchwood: Eli Dresden out here looking for a fight!

Frank nods to Eli, and adjusts his tie as the fans cheer.

Salazar: And her opponent he is the reigning and defending Two Kingdoms Champion! Fighting out of Syracuse, New York at 223 pounds! They call him the HIGH ROLLER! This is Wesley Crane!

The arena lights turn plum purple. They begin pulsing with the beat of Wesley’s theme music.


“Rubbing on that Italian leather

'Dem Konvict jeans on!

Ay yo Weezy! You Ready, yeah!

I get it in 'till sunrise

Doing ninety in a sixty five

Windows rolled down screaming ah!

Hey-ey-ey' I'm so paid

Number one hustla' gettin' money

Why do you wanna count my money

I'm a hustla' and I don't need them! One of them y'all see! I'm so paid”


The lights go back to normal and out steps “The High Roller” Wesley Crane to a mixed reaction from the fans. He stands on the stage and looks around at everyone. He lowers his aviator sunglasses and gives everyone a cocky grin. He slowly makes his way to the ring, the entire time looking around at the fans. Once ringside he climbs up the steps and holds onto the ring ropes. He wipes his feet off on the ring apron before entering the ring. Once inside he stands in the center of the ring and holds his arms wide open.

The fans boo, jeering as Crane smirks at them. He holds up the Two Kingdoms title high, talking trash to Eli before he hands it to the ref.

Tucker: One of the greatest and most storied titles in the XHF being held by a scumbag like Crane turns my stomach!

Fulton: Oh, please! Please! Because Shizuku Yamamoto, Psychotic Goth, and Donzig are just pillars of humanity!

Torchwood: He has a point there, lad.

Crane still smirking steps towards Dresden, mocking her as he spreads his arms wide. Offering her the first shot it seems as the referee tries to get him in order. Eli laughs, and then drives a fist right into his face! The fans explode, and she follows it up with more punches before she fires Crane at the ropes!

Dropkick!

Fulton: Cheapshots! Crane wasn’t ready!

Tucker: Are you serious?

Torchwood: Crane paying for his overconfidence in the early going!

Crane staggers into the ropes, shaking his head before Dresden runs at him again. Driving a knee into his chest and ribs before she grabs him by the hair. It is Eli’s turn to take shit, and she runs him at the corner to bounce his head against the turnbuckle a few times. Crane leans in the corner, and Eli runs back!

HANDSPRING ELBOW!

The fans explode, and Crane stumbles from the corner leaning on the ropes before Eli delivers another dropkick that sends him to the outside!

Tucker: Eli unleashing weeks of frustration on Crane!

Torchwood: Eli Dresden is just raing offense in the opening of this match!


Eli runs back, and ignores the ref before she nods to the cheering Belfast crowd. And she runs forward, diving between the ropes at Crane who steps aside to fling her into the barricade with a chorus of boos. Eli starts to rise, and he stomps and kicks at her before he plants a foot on her throat to choke her before backing off as the ref yells at him.

Fulton: Boo! This ref is garbage!

The fans are jeering as Crane keeps kicking and punching at Eli before he hauls her to her feet. He flings her at the apron, and smirks at the referee before he rolls inside to break the count! He goes back outside, and hits Eli a few more times before he lifts her up to drop her across the barricade!

Then he flings her inside, and climbs the ringpost as the fans boo!

Fulton: Yes! Crane scoring the first fall right here!


Torchwood: Crane weathered the early storm here in Belfast!

TOP ROPE ELBOW!

Crane swears, glaring at the ref before he nods. Eli smirks up at him, and Crane fires her into the corner before he charges in with a EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!

Tucker: Eli being battered!

Fulton: This is the fault of people like you, Tucker!

Crane yanks Eli from the corner, and smirks before he hits the Brainbuster!

Torchwood: Dear god!

……FOOT ON THE ROPE!

Crane stares, and his eyes narrow before he rises to his feet. He shoves the ref, pointing angrily before he shakes his head before he grabs for Eli. But she rolls through, and makes the quick cover of her own!

1….

….2…

…..KICKOUT!

The fans explode, and Crane is furious as Eli laughs. Crane charges in, swinging only to be caught with an arm drag! Then another! The fans are going crazy chanting for Eli, before Crane lunges again only to be flung at the corner by Dresden!

Tucker: Eli Dresden is not backing down! Eli is giving Crane no quarter!

Fulton: There are two stages of Hell left!

Crane turns, and Eli charges forward to nail him with a shotgun dropkick that drops him to the corner! Belfast is going wild, and she nods as she stalks back and forth before giving a big grin before she slashes her thumb across her throat!

INCOMING!

Fulton: NO! NO!


Torchwood: This is a war!


COVER!

…….KICKOUT!

Fulton: YES!

Torchwood: That was so close!

The fans boo, as the ref holds up two fingers! And Dresden rakes her hair back before she nods as she pulls herself to her feet. Crane shakes his head, and pulls himself up the ropes before he turns to smirk at her. He laughs, and motions for her to bring it!

The two start trading punches in the middle of the ring, and Crane fires Eli at the ropes! She comes off with a crossbody, and rolls through as Crane stumbles to his feet! He turns, and Eli goes for the OMFN!

But Crane dodges aside at the last minute, and as Dresden turns she is caught with the HRKO!

COVER!

1….2….

…….THREE!

The fans boo, and Crane laughs as he rises.

Salazar: Winner of the First Fall, WESLEY CRANE!

The High Roller climbs from the ring, and he curses at the fans before he shoves them aside. He grabs a steel chair, and he slams it against the barricade before he lifts it high over his head. Then he heads for the ring, and starts to climb inside!

BUT ELI NAILS HIM FEET DRIVING THE CHAIR INTO HIS FACE!

Crane topples, and Belfast explodes as Eli rubs at her neck before she looks around with a faint frown.

Tucker: Eli could be hurt! But she is not backing down!

Torchwood: Eli Dresden putting everything on the line for the Two Kingdoms title!

JOH-ME-GEE!

Crane is flung against the barricade by the furious Eli, and both are down on the outside as the fans are going crazy. The referee starts a count, and Crane starts to stir but Eli drags herself to her feet leaning on the chair. She holds at her neck, shaking her head before she yanks the chair backwards before cracking it across his shoulders! Crane staggers forward, crawling on his knees before the chair cracks down twice more!

Fulton: Crane could be injured! Someone stop this madness!


Torchwood: High risks on the eve of the Elimination Chamber!

Eli flings down the chair, and the fans are eating up as she yells at them. Then she leaps onto the top of the barricade, and stares down at Crane who is starting to rise once more! She shakes her head, and then turns before leaping off with a MOONSAULT!

Tucker: NO!

Fans: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Crane is down, and Eli sprawls across his back in pain before shaking her head at the ref. She starts to rise, staggering as a hand presses to her neck again before she shakes her head with a wild grin. Crane crawls to the stairs, and pulls himself upright before he turns as she hits another dropkick that sends him sprawling across the stairs!

The fans explode, and Eli slowly rises before she grabs a camera cable to wrap it around his throat. A knee planted to his shoulders, and she yanks backwards as the fans are going crazy as Crane tries to escape.

Fulton: Where is the referee! She could kill Crane!

Tucker: After what Crane did to Anthony Jordan earlier? Fuck him!

Fulton: AJ isn’t a damned saint! And his lackey attacking Crane was disgusting!

Crane falls forward, grabbing at the ref to jerk the man forward to send him falling into Dresden! All three of them in a tangle, and Crane rises first glaring around before he grabs a chair to fling it inside the ring. Then another, and he grabs Dresden to toss her inside before he climbs in after her.

Torchwood: Crane with bad intentions!

Crane sits up both chairs in the middle of the ring facing each other before he grabs the rising Dresden. He drags her forward, firing a few stiff forearms across her back befor he lines her up on the chairs!

He goes for the Brainbuster, but winces lowering her before he tries again! But Eli twists and manages to fire a few stiff knees into Crane’s head! She comes free, and whips Crane into the corner!

GDI INTO THE CHAIRS!

Fans: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!

Both competitors are down in the wreckage, and the referee crawling inside looks confused as he starts a count! But Eli stirs, and manages to fling an arm across the chest of Crane!

1….

…..2….

…..THREE!

Fulton: NO!

Tucker: Ring awareness from Dresden!

Salazar: The Second Fall goes to Eli Dresden!


The fans cheer wildly, llights flash and strobe as the steel cage starts to lower over the ring. The referee nodding as the ring crew starts to secure it in place as Eli and Crane start to stir. Both battered and bruised, and Eli bleeding as she flashes a wild grin as she crawls from the wreckage to lean on the ropes.

Tucker: It is all coming down to this last fall!

The fans were on their feet as Crane stumbles to his feet, shaking his head before he looks to the grinning and bloodied Eli. He lifts his arms posing mockingly before he starts across the ring as Eli hauls herself to her feet. Crane charges in, firing off punch after punch before he grabs Eli to fling her at the ropes!

But Eli leaps at the last minute, coming off the ropes to hit Crane with a hurricarana! The fans explode, and Crane shakes his head as he crawls on his knees towards the ropes! Eli wincing as she holds at her neck and shoulders before she comes to her feet!

Torchwood: These are two of the most decorated combatants in the XHF! This is two legendary champions facing off for the Two Kingdoms Title! I can’t believe what we are seeing!

Fulton: Crane is not leaving Belfast without that belt!
Tucker: Eli disagrees!

The two nod at each other, and then Crane runs at her going for the spear! But Eli moves aside so he crashes into the cage! The fans explode, and Crane is bleeding as he staggers back with a dazed look!

Eli leaps onto the ropes, TILT A WHIRL HEADSCISSORS!

COVER!

1….


…..2….

……KICKOUT!

Tucker: Crane may have concussed himself!

The fans are going wild as Eli staggers to her feet, and her hand once more grabs at her shoulder before she heads for the door of the cage. But Crane is back on his feet, stumbling forward to spin her around with a thunderous clothesline!

BOO!

Fulton: The Good Guys win!

Torchwood: Both are down! The fans are going crazy! The referee doesn’t know what to do!

Tucker: The Match can only be won by pinfall or escaping the cage!


Eli’s feet kicks the ring as she holds at her neck, and then she starts to rise as the fans chant her name. She is not giving up, she wants revenge! She wants the Two Kingdoms Title!

Crane starts to rise as well, and he grabs Eli to plant her with a Germen Suplex! Then another! The fans are jeering, and Crane smirks before he starts to climb the cage with a shake of his head.

Tucker: Crane looking to win by escape!

He is half way up, when Eli staggers to her feet. She runs across the ring, leaping onto the wall of the cage to climb up after him. The pair meeting near the middle, and they trade blows before Crane starts to slip. And he grabs Eli!

BOTH OF THEM CRASHING BACK INTO THE RING!

Fulton: NO! NO!

Tucker: Oh my god!

The ref again looks stricken, and both of them are down before Crane rolls over. He starts to rise, and then drops once more. He shakes his head, starting to get up before he falls again. Eli rises more slowly, crawling for the ropes before she holds at her neck again. Then she stumbles for the door, and Crane glares after her before he starts in pursuit!

Torchwood: Eli is almost there! The door is open!

Eli stumbles, and crawls for the door with a nod. She starts out of it as Crane dives for her ankle!

AND THEN THE DOOR SLAMS SHUT ON HER HEAD! BELFAST EXPLODES AS REESE LAUGHS AT THEM, LEANING AGAINST THE WALL OF THE CAGE!

Fulton: YES! YES!

Tucker: GODDAMN HIM! GODDAMN HIM!

Torchwood: Eli is out cold!

Crane laughs, and grins at Reese as he wipes away blood before he hooks the leg for a cocky cover on the out cold Eli!

1….

…..2….

……THREEEEEEE!

Salazar: YOUR WINNER AND STILL TWO KINGDOMS CHAMPION! WESLEY CRAAAAAAANNNNNNNEEEE!

The fans are furious, and the referee shoves Crane away as medics and trainers run into the ring to check on the still unconscious Eli. And Crane rises to his feet, and makes the dice rolling motion of the High Roller’s Club at her.

Tucker: Disgusting!

Fulton: There is the man who will win the Elimination Chamber for the second time in a row! Right there!
