BOB MOONEY: The following contest is scheduled for one fall…and is a ladder match for the number one contender to the RSW Anarchy Championship!
The crowd cheers the upcoming carnage a ladder match promises. Even with two of the competitors taken out, it still promised to be a wild affair.
BOB MOONEY: Introducing first…from Las Vegas, Nevada…weighing in at three hundred and ten pounds, he is a true American Patriot…Xander Joseph!!!
Bullrushing out from the back as Creed’s ‘My Sacrifice’ blares throughout the arena, Xander stands at the edge of the stage as red, white and blue lights and pyro flash throughout the arena drawing boos from the Moroccan crowd.
JOSEPH GREER: Not much love for Xander Joseph here tonight.
TOMMY ONIONS: I don’t get it! USA! USA! USA!
BILLY FOWLER: And…that’s why. That’s bad enough when you wrestle in The US, everywhere else, it’s just plain annoying.
Focused and marching to the ring, Xander eyes the ring side ladders with suspicion.
JOSEPH GREER: Xander Joseph checking out the ladders around the ring…
TOMMY ONIONS: And looking nervous as fuck…round boy probably wondering if them shits can support his ass!
BILLY FOWLER: He’ll be fine, I weigh a little more than Xander and I’ve been in ladder matches…he has nothing to worry about…in that regard anyway.
Entering the ring, red, white and blue dominate the eyes as Joseph is booed near relentlessly.
BOB MOONEY: And his opponent…from Pittsburgh Pennsylvania. Weighing in at two hundred pounds even…Erik Black!
‘Somebody’s gotta die’ by the Notorious B.I.G. rips through the sound system.
Practically throwing the curtain from it’s bar as he bursts through, Erik Black looks out over the crowd and allows himself a little smirk. Cheers, boos…it didn’t matter as long as they made noise.
JOSEPH GREER: Erik Black making his way to the ring. This kid has a ton of potential but from what we’ve seen…a horrible attitude.
BILLY FOWLER: I’ll agree on his attitude, he hasn’t been tested yet in my book. Sure he beat the man in the ring, Xander Joseph, last time out. But can he do it again when a match with one of the very best is at stake!
JOSEPH GREER: That’s true Billy, the winner here tonight goes on to face the RSW founder and Anarchy Champion at the XHF End Of Days event in a RSW showcase match for the title!
TOMMY ONIONS: I still think he’s high as fuck.
JOSEPH GREER: What makes you so sure Tommy?
TOMMY ONIONS: He parties hard Greer, we can recognize our own…
Taking his time, Erik revels in the cheers and boos alike. He walks the aisle with the confidence of a killer amongst fighters, stopping only for the ladies that would be ‘tens’ within the crowd.
TOMMY ONIONS: …I told you before; look at the confidence in his walk…cocaine and whores!
Once again, ‘Sweet’ Tommy sounds as though he’s informing the masses that two plus two is indeed four.
JOSEPH GREER: Regardless, we’re about to get a second look at Black and as you can see RSW Senior Referee, Shawna Savante obviously remembers Erik…
Making his way to the ring, the moment Black enters the ring Shawna is on guard, laughing as he raises his hands, Black poses in the corner for the Moroccan fans.
JOSEPH GREER: …Erik Black has a ton of confidence. Let’s see what he has once the match starts!
TOMMY ONIONS: I’m telling you Greer, I like this kid…he’s going places!
BILLY FOWLER: With the way you’re speaking, most likely is rehab.
Stepping down from the corner, Black starts walking toward the opposite corner and Shawna.
Tugging at her shirt she reminds him that once the bell rings she’s in charge.
ERIK BLACK: Yeah yeah yeah…just saying you might want to show a little interest before I’m famous as fuck around here…
JOSEPH GREER: There he goes again! Erik Black appears to be hitting on Shawna here before the bell…again!
Heading back toward the opposite corner, Shawna is saved by the music ending as Bob Mooney continues.
BOB MOONEY: And their opponent…accompanied by ‘The Nightmare’ Chris Parsons…from SAN Diego, California…weighing in at two hundred and forty pounds…Marcus Anderson!
‘Loser like me’ by Pink starts as Chris Parsons bounds through the curtain with steel chair in hand.
JOSEPH GREER: Parsons still has the chair he used to take out his, now former, stable mates. We have to wonder what Anderson thought of that!
TOMMY ONIONS: Do we Greer? Do we?
Following behind the minority owner, Marcus Anderson still seems slightly out of place next to the wild and outlandish ‘Nightmare’, the odd couple of RSW make their way down the aisle.
BILLY FOWLER: Parsons is a snake, simple as that. He retired Riot by cheating, got a piece of the company by cheating and cheated his way into the hall of fame…
JOSEPH GREER: Easy now…
BILLY FOWLER: What’s that supposed to mean? Look, my point is Liz and Eoin should have never trusted Parsons in the first place and Marcus Anderson probably shouldn’t either!
Clearing the ring, Parsons leads the way for Marcus swinging the chair wildly before eyeing Erik down specifically.
JOSEPH GREER: Parsons and Erik Black have gone back and forth on social media and after his debut at Anarchy Forty, it was Parsons that caused the distraction that allowed Xander to end their encounter as the last man standing!
Parsons stalks the ring, pacing and ready to strike waiting for the bell to ring.
TOMMY ONIONS: I know I don’t exactly know the rules and shit but shouldn’t Parsons be getting out of there?
JOSEPH GREER: With Apathy And Eoin out, we can safely assume this is a triple threat now yeah.
Shawna has seen enough and points to Parsons, rolling her hands she points to the back.
JOSEPH GREER: Wait a second Tommy…I think…yes! Shawna Savante is threatening to not start the match and has ejected Parsons from the ring!
TOMMY ONIONS: No! I have money on C.A.M.E. winning! This isn’t fair!
BILLY FOWLER: It’s about time! In my day they’d have never allowed that!
JOSEPH GREER: You do remember kidnapping one of Garmr’s associates right?
BILLY FOWLER: That’s hearsay and conjecture my good man and I’ll not have it!
As security escorts Parsons to the back, Erik Black laughs as he waves goodbye to ‘The Nightmare’ and the capacity crowd sings “Na na na na…na na na na…hey hey hey…goodbye!”
JOSEPH GREER: Listen to that crowd as the serenade Parsons to the back! Now all three men are in the ring!!! Shawna calls for the bell!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
As soon as the bell rings Xander and Erik pick up right where they left off at Anarchy Forty.
Swinging wildly, Xander looks to take the head clean off Erik’s shoulders with each swing, while Erik bobs and weaves, blocking and returning crisp short punches.
Having seen enough, Anderson rushes in, hammering Black to the back of the head, before snatching a waist lock and snapping off a release German suplex!
JOSEPH GREER: Great timing there by Anderson! Axe handle by Xander!
As Marcus gets to a knee, Xander Joseph brings both his hands down between Marcus’ shoulders driving him facedown on the mat.
TOMMY ONIONS: Come on! Get a ladder! Let’s go!
BILLY FOWLER: There’s a strategy here Tommy…you need to wear down…
JOSEPH GREER: Don’t Fowler…just don’t. I’ve been trying to explain this to him for years now. He’s here because deep down we all laugh at toilet humour at some point in our lives.
Burying a kick into the ribs of Anderson, he follows up with a second into the rib cage of Black before whipping him through the second and third ropes toppling a ringside ladder in the process!
TOMMY ONIONS: That’s more like it!
JOSEPH GREER: Black is sent crashing into the ladder! It’s all Xander Joseph right now!
Turning his attention back to Anderson, Xander pummels Marcus into the corner.
JOSEPH GREER: Hard Irish whip by Xander! Oh!
BILLY FOWLER: Oh I don’t miss that gents…it’s the back and the neck that hurt after something like that. Some of these lads whip you and it feels like you’ve been in a wreck!
Slamming into the corner with enough force to draw a gasp from the crowd, Marcus crumps to the mat as Xander Joseph cups a hand to his ear.
JOSEPH GREER: Listen to that crowd! They do not like Xander Joseph here in Morocco!
TOMMY ONIONS: Because he’s an American Joey! These people are just haters!
BILLY FOWLER: Have you thought that maybe it’s because he goes around preaching about the United States like it’s a religion?
Pandering to the crowd once again, Joseph stays at a distance letting Anderson drag himself back to the corner.
Charging like an enraged bull, Anderson moves at the last moment, sending Xander crashing I to the corner, stunned against the turnbuckles.
JOSEPH GREER: Marcus got out of the way! Oh! Xander Joseph is stunned! This is the chance Anderson has needed!
The crowd cheers as Erik Black pushes a table into the ring, sliding in after it he charges the cornered, Xander!
JOSEPH GREER: Huge double knee by Erik Black! Xander Joseph has no idea where he is!
Black sends the crowd into a frenzy with a series of lefts and rights that force Xander to cover up while Marcus Anderson regroups.
TOMMY ONIONS: See?! What did I tell you? This kid is money! Look at that shit!
BILLY FOWLER: Oh I agree that Black has talent Tommy, it’s just too bad he’s so damned shite when it comes to his training and attitude. A focused Erik Black would be something else entirely!
JOSEPH GREER: What’s this? Marcus Anderson setting up that table black brought in…what’s he got in mind here?
Setting the table into the corner on an angle, Marcus takes his turn and charges the opposite corner, sandwiching the smaller Black between the two larger men.
TOMMY ONIONS: That’s just…
Erik slumps to the ground followed by Xander.
JOSEPH GREER: Marcus now to the outside…
Grabbing the ladder, the crowd cheers!!
TOMMY ONIONS: Fuck yes!
Sliding in, Black sends the ladder into the chest of Anderson knocking him back to the barricade!
JOSEPH GREER: Quick thinking with the baseball slide from Erik Black staggering Anderson!
BILLY FOWLER: Quick thinking indeed, what’s he doing here?!
Grabbing the top rope, in a display of athleticism, Erik leaps over the top rope with a high cross body plancha taking out Marcus Anderson!!!
JOSEPH GREER: What a move by Erik Black! Listen to that crowd!
The crowd roars as Xander Joseph comes back into view.
TOMMY ONIONS: Oh shit! Joseph is up!
Rolling to the outside, Xander grabs the ladder, shoving it into the ring before rolling back in.
JOSEPH GREER: What a chance for Xander Joseph!
Setting the ladder, Xander repositions it and begins to climb.
Rolling into the ring, Xander hops down as Xander Joseph and Erik Black face off once again.
BILLY FOWLER: Here we go again lads! Right back where we started!
Squaring off again, Erik dodges a crushing right hand from Xander and lands a quick kick to the ribs in return.
JOSEPH GREER: Nice counter shot there by Black!
Erik loads up and fires off a series of punches and elbows, ending with a knee strike that doubles over the mammoth Joseph.
JOSEPH GREER: DDT!
Rolling over after delivering the move, Black takes a deep breath, dragging himself to his feet using the ropes his gaze goes to the ladder.
BILLY FOWLER: He’s gonna give it go!
With each rung the crowd get louder and louder, pushing Black each step of the way.
JOSEPH GREER: He’s almost there!
TOMMY ONIONS: I saw someone move! Jump off and kill them from above!
Reaching the top…Black extends for the briefcase…
JOSEPH GREER: Black’s got it…
BILLY FOWLER: No! It’s Xander Joseph!
Pushing the ladder over, Black takes the top rope to a very sensitive area.
ALL THREE COMMENTATORS: Ohhhhh!
JOSEPH GREER: Erik Black goes down!
BILLY FOWLER: But he’ll be a few octaves higher in the shower! He might possibly be a unic…who knows?
Turning, the crowd cheers anew as Marcus Anderson starts by laying into Xander with an echoing knife edge chop!
CROWD: WooooooOooooOoooo!!!!
Staggering back, Marcus catches Xander under the chin with a perfectly placed super kick that stumbles him back into the table Marcus had set earlier.
A fresh burst of cheers radiates from the audience, but he sees his opening, Marcus slams several hard right hands into the side of Xander’s head and goes for the ladder instead.
JOSEPH GREER: A series of wild punches here! Marcus Anderson is going for broke!
BILLY FOWLER: He needs to be careful unless he wants to end up like his father! Come to think of it, another reason he shouldn’t trust Chris Parsons!
TOMMY ONIONS: Erik Black is back in the ring too! It’s a race!
Battered and bruised, both Anderson and Black are fighting fatigue and each other as they attempt to scale the ladder once again.
A roundhouse kick around the ladder finds its way into the ribs of Anderson as Erik gains space in the race to the top.
JOSEPH GREER: Both of these men inching their way up the ladder! Both of these men are giving their all just to get a chance at Anarchy Champion, Rob Riot! Only here in RSW will you see this kind of competition folks!
TOMMY ONIONS: Good idea, plug the brand! Get all your RSW merchandise at RSW.com while you’re at it!
A snapping two punch combo into Black’s abdomen gains Marcus some ground.
JOSEPH GREER: Both of these men getting into no man’s land now and the fan’s are frothing at the mouths in anticipation!
A third right hand gains the leverage needed for Anderson to join Black high above the ring at the top of the ladder.
A thumb to the eyes of Anderson is followed up by a head butt from Black.
JOSEPH GREER: Oh! Dirty move by Black!
TOMMY ONIONS: Dirty? This shit is a no holds barred baby! Whatever it takes to win!
A short elbow rocks Anderson who takes a looping swing of his own. The crowd is cheering as they rock the ladder back and forth.
TOMMY ONIONS: Is it bad that I want them both to fall?
JOSEPH GREER: Yeah.
BILLY FOWLER: A little, yes.
Parrying the blow, Black slams Marcus’s face into the top of the ladder before pulling the slumping Anderson over his shoulders in a fireman’s carry!
JOSEPH GREER: Oh my God! Erik Black can’t be thinking?!
TOMMY ONIONS: Do it! Even if it means sacrificing everything!
BILLY FOWLER: Ha! I see what you did there!
Allowing the anticipation and cheers to reach a fever pitch, Erik launches Anderson through the air.
Time seems to slow as the second generation RSW competitor slammed into Xander Joseph’s three hundred plus pound frame, splintering the table in an instant and rocking the ring.
JOSEPH GREER: Oh my god! They’re broken! Both of them are broken!
TOMMY ONIONS: Holy shit! That was fucking awesome!
BILLY FOWLER: Everyone wants to get that chance to go after the Anarchy Championship!
Taking another deep breath, the crowd continues cheering as Erik looks to the briefcase.
JOSEPH GREER: It’s within his grasp!!!!
Black unclips the briefcase and the bell rings!!!
JOSEPH GREER: He’s done it! Erik Black is your winner!
DING! DING!! DING!!!
‘Somebody gotta die’ by the Notorious B.I.G. Begins blasting once more as Bob Mooney announces the official result.
BOB MOONEY: The winner of this match…and number one contender to the RSW Anarchy Championship…Erik Black!!!
JOSEPH GREER: What a match! All three gave it their all, but in the end it was a desperation move by Erik Black, dumping Anderson from the top of the ladder onto Xander Joseph that gave Black the win and a date with Rob Riot at the big XHF End of Days mega event!
TOMMY ONIONS: Big mega event?! Sounds big!
BILLY FOWLER: Redundancies aside, impressive performance here by Erik Black but if he thinks that he can get past Riot on guys alone, the kid is in for a ride awakening gents. Rob’s not done yet and Erik Black might just find out the hard way how much he has left!
JOSEPH GREER: Regardless, a big win here at Shadow Wars puts Erik Black into the Anarchy Championship picture and into the limelight as we continue seeing this new crop of RSW stars rise up and make their presence known!
BILLY FOWLER: I couldn’t agree more Greer, Riot Star Wrestling has the seen an influx of great talent like Xander Joseph and Erik Black, as well as the trio surrounding another championship here is RSW…Andi Snow, Lex Collins and of course Legacy Champion…Dagvald Riddick!!!
JOSEPH GREER: That’s coming up later tonight, but first we have former RSW World Champion Dylan Erickson taking on recent challenger…Eddie Havok! That’s up after this!!!
