6WF Ascension Results 30th October 2012

*An amazing pyrotechnics display opens up the show. Colours of the rainbow flash high up into the rafters and explode before “Time to shine” echoes out of the sound system. The camera pans around the arena and there is an almost full to the brim capacity crowd inside the Birmingham Bowl, and they are making a lot of noise. The picture then switches to the announce area at ringside, where Jeff Thadeus is sat alongside Paul Salisbury.

JT:Ladies and gentlemen good evening and welcome to week 3 of 6WF Ascension……tonight the scores are reset to zero, everybody is back to the beginning and we are preparing for a new month here on the brand new home of professional wrestling……for those of you who didn’t catch the War pay per view this past Sunday night I can assure you that you missed a treat, you all missed a landscape changing moment as we crowned the first ever AWF Champion…..why don’t you tell them about it, Paul?

PS:Folks it was a crazy night at War….championships on the line, some amazing matches but none more so than the match that opened the show…..first ever AWF Champion to be crowned in a fatal four way match…it was non-stop stuff, action-packed to the last….but when the bell tolled at the end of that contest, there was one man stood tall in the centre of that ring……Cobra walked out with the gold in his possession, and I guarantee that has not gone down well with management…

JT:I’ll agree with that……I fully expect some backlash to that result here tonight but knowing Cobra as we do, I don’t think he will be very intimidated…..he welcomes a challenge…

PS:I just wouldn’t want to be on the wrong side of Miss Jessica, eventually she will get you…

JT:Not only do we have the fallout from War but also a star-studded lineup who are prepared to put on another amazing show…..remember, everybody is striving to be number one in the League of Ascension….that’s how you earn your shot at the gold, so expect plenty of drama here tonight guys….

*The lights in the arena suddenly dim and red,silver and green pyrotechnics shoot high up into the air. The crowd in attendance rise to their feet and the noise levels threaten to reach fever pitch as “King of the Stereo” screams out

JT:And would you listen to that…….this crowd in Birmingham are on their feet for the arrival of the brand new AWF Champion….

*The smoke plumes settle and the cheers grow louder as Cobra marches out onto the front of the stage. He is dressed in jeans and a “tapout” vest, the sparkling AWF Championship belt is strapped around his shoulder. He nods in appreciation before walking down the ramp.

PS:I wasn’t happy to see Cobra walk out on Sunday as champion, because I was rooting for my man J-Dubs….but there is no doubting this guy’s class…

JT:Former TAW Champion, CWC Champion and now the reigning AWF Champion….there are a few question marks hanging over Sunday’s victory, but the facts remain….Cobra got the three count and he is the rightful champion…

Cobra reaches out and tags hands with a few of the fans before he climbs up onto the apron and steps into the ring. He slowly takes his time to climb all four turnbuckles and raise his newly won championship into the air.

Mike Bird:Ladies and gentlemen…………your AWF Champion………Coooooooooooobbbbbbbbbrrrrraaaaa!

*Crowd pop

*Cobra jumps down off the ropes and he smiles as he lays the championship down at his feet and then accepts a microphone from Mike Bird. Huge chants of “Cobra” ring through the stands as the champion deliberates for a moment and then begins to speak.

Cobra:I appreciate the support….

*Cheers grow louder and Cobra laughs

Cobra:I’m not gonna lie, when I signed my contract here on Ascension this was my goal and I knew I was going to achieve it….I don’t want to come off as conceited or arrogant, it is just the own self belief that I have within myself….

It’s not that I haven’t been pushed to my limits, because I have and you guys have seen me severely tested on many occasions……the talent pool on this roster is immense and the challenges I have faced have only served to bring the best out in me…

But the best of me is truly something that I am proud of, because on my day I know I can match anyone in the world, let alone this company….

JT:Guy is confident, no doubting that….

Cobra:On Sunday I faced a Frenchmen , an American and a seven foot freak of nature…….and this isn’t some joke with a quirky punchline, this is reality and I overcame it….I took on the best on this roster and I proved my ability in front of the world…

I have gone from winning the TAW Championship, to dominating CWC to back here and rising to the top of the Ascension mountain in three years…

That is a heck of an achievement and I know that…..but I feel like my path in the professional wrestling business is still just in its infancy…..

I’ve been inundated with questions and queries about “where next?”….people asking “What is there left for you to achieve?”…….and the answer to that is, I have no idea but I sure as hell am looking forward to finding out!

*Crowd cheer

Cobra: I am currently the AWF Champion, and aslong as this gold belongs to me I will do anything in my power to keep it that way…..the feeling of success and accomplishment never gets old and it is something that I will never tire of…

So maybe it only took me two weeks to get my hands on this championship belt but now holding onto it will be the key to my legacy, because I know for a fact there is nine other guys in that lockeroom who believe they have what it takes to relieve me of my belt……….infact there are some people not so happy about how things went down at War…

PS:Yeah my man J-Dubs…

JT:I think he was referring to Jimmy Phillips…

Cobra:And I respect all the hard work you put in on Sunday Jimmy…I really do, I know these fans do too…

*Crowd cheer loud for Phillips

Cobra:I understand how you must be feeling right now as well….I was the perennial nearly man back in 6CW, it never quite happened for me there but I never gave up, and look at me now….that is the key, never give up and eventually it will come…..so channel your disappointment, work your way back up the ladder…because it would be an honour to face you for this belt somewhere down the line…

*Crowd cheer

JT:I think that is something this crowd would love to see…

Cobra: But right now I am just enjoying the moment….waiting to see what happens next…

JT:Right on cue...

*The boos ring all around and an almost knowing smile crosses Cobra’s face as “Gangnam Style” echoes out and Miss Jessica struts onto the stage. She is dressed in a white and red plaid skirt with a black shirt, unbuttoned at the cleavage. She holds her hand up and the music stops immediately.

Jessica:Like you all better so listen to me right now…

*The boos grow louder

Jessica:Not impressed plebians…listen to me, I order you….

Cobra:They don’t respond to orders…..these fine people of Birmingham respond to you listening to them, giving them what they want…

*Crowd pop

Cobra:And what they want is action…not to hear you whine and b1tch….

Jessica:Hush your tongue little snakey….i’m totally here to give these people “action”….so listen up….

PS:Jessica is angry…..I like it…

Jessica:This is my show…I am like a bloody general manager around here and I deserve respect. So like hello, where was my invite to War on Sunday?

*Crowd laugh

Jessica:This is like so not funny….I feel tarnished and dirty…

Cobra:Would not be the first time…

*Crowd laugh more and Jessica pierces the champion with a scathing look

Jessica:I should have been at War…I should have been present at my championship match…instead I was like refused entry or whatever….it was a miscarriage of justice…

JT:I didn’t know about this…

PS:Now you can see why she is upset…

Jessica:But this here tonight is not War….this is Ascension, and no goody two shoes like Abe Abercorn can stop me from being here…

Crowd:We want Abe x10

Jessica:Abe ain’t coming….deal with it!

*Crowd boo

Jessica:I make the decisions around here and I call the shots….so you stand there Mr Cobra man and you take a long look at that championship belt………because I have made a few amendments to tonight’s card….

*Crowd boo

JT:What…

PS:That is her prerogative….

Jessica:So now you will listen to me…

*She smiles evily

Jessica:First amendment………………..match two….Jimmy Phillips versus Josh Valor is now Jimmy Phillips and Geoff Steel vs Josh Valor and Scorpion….

PS:That’s not a bad change…

JT:No it’s not….but explain to me why it is happening…

PS:Wait and see…

*Jessica eyes Cobra vindictively

Jessica:Which allows me to make the necessary change to tonight’s main event…because Cobra I don’t think you deserve that belt, in fact I despise even looking at you wearing it…

Cobra:Do something about it then…

Jessica:I was so hoping you were going to say that…..tonight’s main event………Cobra…….versus Jerome Dubois………..

*The crowd boo but Cobra smirks

Cobra:This is fantastic….I thought you were out to punish me………

Jessica:No countouts….no disqualifications…..like totally no time limit………..AWF CHAMPIONSHIP ON THE LINE!

*Crowd ultra boo

JT:What a joke….why the hell is Dubois getting another shot?

PS:Because he deserves it Jeff…

JT:Bull (beep)….

Jessica:By time tonight is over………..I am going to like so have everything I want…………

Cobra:I really do not think you understand what you have just done….but I’ll play your silly little game….this is going to be a night to remember…

Jessica:You have no idea…

*She smirks and Cobra laughs back at her as the crowd in the arena go wild with noise

JT:Huge announcement………and one that has sparked the ire of the 6WF crowd…..Miss Jessica has switched the card, Cobra will now defend his championship in the main event against Jerome Dubois….no holds barred….

PS:We are getting a new champion tonight, Jeff…..I cannot wait…

JT:Don’t count your chickens just yet….Cobra had no problems with Dubois two weeks ago, why would tonight be any different?

PS:Because Jessica has a plan, you can just tell she has something lined up…

*The show goes to the commercials as Jessica and Cobra continue to stare at each other

Match 1
Zach Corchia vs Lex Hart

JT:Welcome back to ringside folks and it is now time for our first match of the evening….two men who did not have the best of months last month on Ascension, but they will be both looking to kick off with a bang here tonight….

PS:Both these guys are capable of being main players on Ascension, they just need to get their heads in the game and push on…

The lights dim and the riff for “Can’t Stop” kicks out to a huge ovation from the crowd in Birmingham. Zach Corchia strolls out onto the stage and he gives a rocker pose before removing his leather jacket and tossing it to the adoring masses.

JT:Zach Corchia got banged up pretty bad last week and doctor’s advised him to stay out of action here tonight, but he refused…

PS:Of course he did, Corchia wants to be in contention for the championship, you can’t just have an “off” week because of a slight concussion…

JT:You don’t know it was “slight”, he got attacked by Josh Valor on numerous occasions, something our General Manager has done nothing about….

PS:She said she would do something if it happened again..

JT:Not good enough in my book, Corchia could have been seriously hurt last week…..

Zach slaps hands with the fans before climbing up onto the apron and vaulting over the top rope into the ring. He goes to the corner and poses for the crowd and then removes his vest, drawing wolf whistles from the female members of the audience.

JT:Zach looks in great physical shape, raring to go in this new month…

PS:His opponent won’t be anywhere near 100%...

Corchia slowly paces the ring as “Be myself” roars out and pink/green fireworks shoot up into the air before exploding. There is mostly boos from the crowd but a few respectful cheers and rounds of applause as Lex Hart makes his way onto the stage.

JT:Lex Hart was involved in a hellacious matchup with Marshall Murdoch at War on Sunday night….a match that left him in a horrible mess…

PS:I can still picture it, blood everywhere…..that is why Lex Hart is a warrior, he took that beating and yet here he stands…

JT:Lex suffered a broken nose in that matchup, hence the protective covering…

The cameras pan in on Lex, who has a clear covering over both cheeks and his nose. Hart breathes deeply and looks around at the crowd before walking towards the ring with his eyes set to the floor.

PS:You have to wonder how much that injury is going to affect Lex….I mean it’s going to impact on his breathing, as well as being excruciating if he takes a blow…

JT:As much as I agree, Lex did agree to compete tonight. He could have taken some time off but he refused…

PS:Because he is a Hart, bred from good stock and there is no quit in him…

JT:Exactly, which just goes to show how much he got screwed by Dubois last week…..Lex will not have forgotten that, he has unfinished business with Dubois and Miss Jessica I am sure…

Lex climbs up the steel steps and he walks along the apron before stepping into the ring and facing Corchia. They eye each other as the referee gives his final instructions…

JT:Both these guys were in 6CW together, there wasn’t a lot of contact between them but they know each other….and they know what the other brings to the table, should be a good match…

The referee has a final word with both men and then stands back to signal for the bell that begins the contest. They circle each other and then lunge for a lockup in the centre of the ring, Lex quickly swinging around back into a waistlock and looking for a german….

PS:Hart is going to try and use his technical wrestling skills to keep the high-flier down and out…..keep him in check….

Lex lifts Zach up for the german but Corchia swivels out of it and kicks Hart in the stomach before running off the ropes…

JT:Front flip…

Corchia looks for the athletic DDT but Hart catches him and then drops him into an inverted atomic drop. Corchia staggers backwards and Hart dropkicks him into the corner before following up with a clothesline…

JT:Ouch…

Zach spins around the ropes and lands a kick straight to the nose of Lex over the top (ala Kofi Kingston). Hart staggers back towards the centre as Corchia vaults up top and then launches himself into a beautifully crafted crossbody takedown…

PS:He got some serious hangtime right there…

……………Hart kicks out!

JT:Hart got his shoulder up in time there, but the crossbody almost caught him out….

Zach pulls Lex up and looks for a suplex but Hart locks his heel inside the instep of Corchia and then counters with a suplex of his own. He keeps his arms locked in place and swivels his hips before dragging Zach back up and nailing him with another suplex…

PS:Lex likes the hat-trick….weakening the opponent for the lionsault perhaps….

Lex swivels his hips once again and he drags his opponent to his feet for a third time and lifts him high for the vertical suplex…

JT:Backstabber!

Corchia floats over the back and nails the backstabber counter……………………….1………………………..2………………Lex kicks out. Zach gets back to his feet and he drags Lex up before underhooking his foot and twisting him into a fisherman’s suplex……………………………………1…………………………….2……………….shoulder up from Hart.

PS:Good spell for Corchia…he needs to work on this because Lex is vulnerable right now…

Corchia gets back up and he waits for Lex to stand before landing with right hands and then tries to whip Hart into the corner. Lex reverses the whip and sends Corchia towards the turnbuckle but Zach leaps straight onto the top rope with amazing athleticism….

JT:Lex is no slouch either…..BAH GAWD!

The crowd show their appreciation as Lex bursts up the ropes and waistlocks Corchia before german suplexing him from the top rope to the canvass below. They get back up to their feet, very slowly, and Lex takes Zach down with a backbreaker….

PS:Corchia is really hurting here, this could be Lex’s chance…

Lex is on his knees and he breathes deeply before taking a long look at Corchia and then springs to his feet, running towards the ropes…

JT:LIONSAULT!

Lex floats back and he lands the springboard moonsault before covering his opponent………………….1…………………………………2………………..Corchia just gets his shoulder up off the mat.

PS:I thought we were done right there, but no….Zach Corchia demonstrating a little spirit of his own…

Lex looks at the referee with a half-hearted attempt at questioning the decision before he steps up. Corchia is slowly getting back to his feet and he reaches out to take ahold of the ropes but Hart pulls him away and looks for a back suplex…

JT:Not right now…

Corchia floats over the back of Lex’s shoulder and then wipes him out with a dropsault as he turns around. Zach then intakes a huge portion of air before running off the ropes and cartwheeling back into a standing moonsault….

PS: Corchia needs to use his speed, his athleticism is key to a victory…

Zach gets back up a vertical base and he lets Lex stand before dropkicking him into the corner and then following up with a stiff shining wizard to the jaw. Hart sways unsteadily as he staggers out and Corchia flattens him with a superkick…

………………………shoulder up!

JT:Each hard blow to the face is making that nose injury of Lex’s worse…

PS:It is also doubling the pain he should be feeling at this point…

Lex holds his face in a lot of pain as he tries to get back to his feet again and Corchia rushes off the ropes and returns with a sickening low hesitation dropkick to the face. Hart is sprawled on the canvass as Zach takes to the corner and climbs up onto the top rope….

JT:Corchia going all or nothing…..GOT IT!

PS:That is awesome…

The crowd cheer and the flashbulbs go off as Corchia flips into the shooting star and lands the legdrop across the throat of Lex Hart………………..1………………………………………2………………………….Lex gets his foot on the bottom rope.

JT:We thought was over….from our position we couldn’t see the foot on the ropes….

PS:Lex definitely made it….but it was close, if he had been a few more inches away then he wouldn’t have got there….

Corchia looks a little exasperated as he pulls himself back to his feet and he drags Lex to his feet before underhooking his arms in the centre of the ring…

JT:Corchia is thinking pedigree….

Lex shakes and fights before he finally swipes the legs of Corchia and then slingshots him into the corner. Zach manages to somehow land on the second rope and he immediately leaps to the middle of the adjacent ropes and springboards back…

PS:Amazing improv…….HURRICAN…

JT:Sheeeeeeesssh!

Corchia flies back for a hurricanrana but Lex catches him on his shoulders and spins him around before decimating him with a powerbomb, which he immediately follows up by twisting Corchia on his stomach…

PS:Zach walked into it….SHARPSHOOTER!

JT:And this will finish any match…

PS:Pushed Marshall Murdoch to his limits on Sunday night….

Corchia screams in pain as Lex sits right down on his back and looks to apply maximum pressure in a very short space of time. The referee is on the scene and he asks Zach if he wants to quit but Corchia shakes his head and tries to scarper forwards…..

JT:Submission is Lex Hart’s great equalizer……

PS:Not tonight….

Corchia reaches out and a relieved expression crosses his face as he manages to grab the bottom rope early on. Lex respects the call and releases the submission quickly but then grabs Zach’s legs and tries to drag him back to the middle…

JT:Lex going in for it again….

Corchia manages to grab Lex by the hair and land several punches to the face before kicking out with both feet and sends Hart toppling backwards. Zach then slowly gets back to his feet as Zach Corchia runs at him…

PS:Drop toe-hold….setting him up….

Lex comes forward and Corchia drop toe holds him across the middle rope before running off the opposite side and returning with a 619 kick, straight to the injured face of Lex Hart. Lex rolls backwards across the canvass as Corchia stands up on the apron and then springboards…

JT:DRAGONRANA!

PS:That will do it…

Corchia nails Lex with the stunning dragonrana……………………………..1………………………………..2……………..Lex just gets his shoulder up.

JT:Lex must be really feeling the pace….only two days since his last exhausting matchup….

Both men are quickly getting back up and Corchia rushes across and looks for a crunching spear but Lex sidesteps and sends Zach crashing into the turnbuckle before dragging him back into a sleeper hold….

PS:This could be it….Zach could be about to take a nap…

Corchia struggles as Lex tries to tighten his arms around the windpipe of his opponent. It looks as though Corchia is about to fall victim to the submission when he somehow manages to sitdown and land with an inverted jawbreaker….

JT:Corchia getting himself out of jail right there…..MAGIC ROUNDABOUT!

Lex staggers back from the jawbreaker and down onto one knee as Corchia quickly darts off the ropes and returns with the front flip DDT………………………….1………………………………………..2…………………………….thr-Lex gets his shoulder up!

PS:That was close…..really close to the end for Lex Hart right there….

Corchia gets back to his feet and shakes his head at Lex’s resiliency before beckoning him to stand up. Lex is groggy but does as he is obliged to do and staggers into Zach…

JT:SHELL…

Lex elbows his way out of Zach’s grasp and then drills him with a sharp DDT. Lex crawls back to his feet and makes his way over to the corner before scaling the ropes….

PS:Lex might have been best suited to keeping this grounded….not taking unnecessary risks like this….

JT:Sometimes he just cant help himself….

Lex slowly pulls himself up the ropes and finally steadies himself up on the turnbuckle as he prepares for flight…….he is just about to jump when Corchia gets back to his feet and lands a beautiful leaping enzeguiri to the side of Lex’s head, dropping him into a seated position…

PS:Lex dallied too long….I knew going up top was a mistake….

JT:And now is Corchia’s chance….five points in the offing if he hits this….EaZy PLUNGE!

Corchia scales the ropes and he underhooks the arms of Lex before looking for the top rope pedigree. He is on the verge of nailing it when Lex fights out with all he has left and manages to headbutt Zach in the face, dropping the LA native to the mat below…

PS:Lex fighting tooth and nail to survive here…..he knows he has nothing left in the tank, but everything he does have, he is using…

Lex slowly positions his feet once again and he looks down at the prone body of his foe before standing tall and taking the plunge….

JT:Shades of the Dynamite Kid…..FLYING HEADBUTT!

The crowd groan as Corchia rolls out of the way and Hart face-plants the canvass with real force. Zach rolls to the corner and begins to climb back to his feet as Lex slowly stumbles up, and the cameras show blood beneath his protective covering….

PS:That nose is blasted again, this is bad….

JT:About to get worse….SPEAR!

Corchia runs across and dives through the air, taking Lex out with the rib-crushing spear and then covers………………….1……………………………………2………………………………….3!

PS:Kicked out….he did this Sunday, how the hell does he do it?

JT:I have no idea….Lex Hart is a tough son of a gun……he just does not want to come across as a failure…

PS:Too much pride in the former world champion….

JT:He feels he has a lot to prove, but he needs to know when enough is enough…..he went through hell on Sunday, his tank must be near enough on empty and still he fights on….

Corchia gets to his feet and he almost looks at the referee in pleading before fixing his eyes back on Lex Hart. Lex is in a bad way but he does everything he can to get back up onto his feet…

JT:I don’t think Corchia wants this match to continue….he knows Lex is hurting here…

PS:Bust nose, breathing difficulties and just plain exhausted, I tip my hat to Lex I really do but he is damaging himself….

Lex grabs ahold of Corchia’s thigh and drags himself up to face his opponent. Zach’s eyes are almost filled with pity but Lex shakes his head and pushes Corchia in the chest…

JT:Lex doesn’t want anyone to feel sorry, he wants to fight……

PS:SHELLSHOCK!

Corchia looks at the referee with annoyance before kicking Lex in the stomach and nailing the swinging reverse STO. Zach looks apologetic as he makes the cover….

…………………………..3!

PS:It is all over….five points on the board for Zach Corchia….

JT:Big win for Corchia…..and well deserved…..but Lex Hart showed his grit once again, despite the injuries, he dug deep and came close…

PS:Lex is game as hell…..he is an amazing competitor but right now it is not working out for him. His form is bad, his nose is broken and he has fought three times in seven days. No wonder he is out of it…but fair play to Corchia, he still needed to get the job done and that is exactly what he did….

“Can’t stop” is playing out of the speakers and the crowd are cheering as Corchia raises his arm in victory. He then looks down as the referee is attending to Lex Hart…

JT:Corchia looks sorry here….but he did nothing wrong, he had no choice….

PS:Its just the business we are in……you have to take what you can get….it is a shame about Lex but Corchia did the right thing…..

Zach is still watching Lex with unease before he is suddenly attacked from behind by Josh Valor. The crowd boo furiously as Valor stomps down on the back of Corchia before dragging him up and lifting him up onto his shoulders…

PS:FORGOTTEN VALOR!

JT:Cmon now this is heinous….when is somebody going to do something about this maniac?

Valor laughs as the crowd boo him and he raises his fist into the air. The referee stops checking on Lex for a moment and confronts Valor, but Josh shakes his head and then pushes the referee on his backside…

JT:Now he is assaulting officials….when is Miss Jessica going to deal with his punk…

PS:Valor is starting to overstep the mark…

JT:Starting?....he’s been doing this for weeks, it needs dealing with….GODDAMIT!

Zach Corchia is trying to stand up but Valor grins and then lands with his brutal KO punch, leaving Corchia sprawled next to Lex Hart on the canvass. The referee watches on in fear as Valor smirks and then exits the ring.

PS:Josh Valor just made a heck of a statement…..

JT:He needs to be fined, suspended…dealt with properly because this is becoming a real problem….he’s attacking Corchia at every available opportunity, that is three straight weeks now….

PS:I’m sure Miss Jessica is coming up with a suitable punishment as we speak…

JT:I think that would be a wise call, because Valor needs to be kept in line…..

The referee in the ring signals for some medics to come and check on Corchia and Lex Hart as the crowd give a respectful round of applause and then the action goes backstage.

*The scene goes backstage and the crowd boo as an angry looking Josh Valor steps through the curtain into the Gorilla position. Jack Reynolds is standing by to grab his thoughts.

Valor:Come to interview the new star huh Jack?

Reynolds:I just wanted to get a quick word on what is going on between you and Zach Corchia….what is with all the attacks?

*Valor grabs Reynolds by the front of his shirt and then pushes him back against the wall

Valor:Let me tell you Jack…I am sick of the fancy little flying fairies eating up all the goddamn limelight….so Zach Corchia can flip off the roof of his house, who gives a (beep)…..because I don’t, I could not care less….that is not what this business is all about…

This is smash mouth….these people pay to see action whether they damn well admit it or not and that is exactly what I am giving them…..100% murderball action every single week…I am bringing in the viewership and you still berate me like I am some kind of villain…

I’m not a villain Jack…I am a goddamn saviour, and day by day I am saving the professional wrestling business by doing whatever I need to….Zach Corchia is a little punk who doesn’t belong in this business, he can’t win a fight against me so explain to me why he is even here?

Reynold:He beat…

*Valor presses his finger against Reynold’s lips

Valor:Do not finish that sentence or I will snap your peacock neck……Zach Corchia could not step up to me like a man and defeat me, it is a scientific impossibility….there is not a man on this roster than can match my aggression and my direct style…

I might have been a little afterthought back in 6CW….but right here, now in Ascension I am your master and you will bow down at my feet…..BOW!

*Reynolds drops to his knees and looks highly embarrassed

Valor:There….doesn’t that just feel natural?....soon you will not be the only one on your knees Jack…..this roster shall kneel before me and everyone shall look upon me as the dominant force that I truly am….this is just the beginning….

*Valor laughs at Reynolds and then drops the mic besides him before walking off

*The scene changes again and there is a mixed reaction as Lex Hart walks into the backstage area, surrounded by medics.

Lex:Honestly guys, I am ok…

Medic: We need to get you to the hospital Lex….the covering needs to be changed…

Lex: Look I will be ok, it is nothing serious….

*The medics look unconvinced as Raymond Alexander walks into shot

Alexander:Lex, quick scoop for the Ascension fans…

Lex:Take your best shot….

Alexander:That is a nasty injury, we saw you lose some serious blood at War, and it doesn’t look a whole lot better tonight…..shouldn’t you be taking some time off?

*The medics look on in agreement but Lex shakes his head

Hart:Absolutely not….it is out of the question…

Alexander:Lex, with all due respect, three matches in seven days and you have been taking some heavy blows in that time….perhaps a rest period could do you good…

Hart:With all due respect back to you mr reporter, this isn’t up for discussion. I’ve got a broken nose, I am hardly going to keel over and die any moment…..believe me, I have been through much worse in my career…I will get through this…

Alexander:It looked as though it was affecting you out there Lex….I have to be honest, the injury seems to have cost you your last two matches now…..

Hart:That is spoken like a guy that has never laced them up, no offense intended but that is the truth. I was in the dungeon every day with my family and I took some hellacious knocks in that time….but I was taught from day one that if you can still stand up by yourself, you ain’t hurt and that is a motto I will take to my grave…

This injury to my nose is superficial, it means nothing and it is affecting less…..the broken nose has nothing to do with how I perform in the ring or out of it…my losses have racked up long before I suffered this injury…

I am in a rut, a bad patch….call it whatever you want but this guy right here cannot win himself a match. And the only way to get myself out of it is by going out there every week and taking whatever a55 whooping I need to before everything falls back into place…you don’t just take a week off, call for a vacation because the results don’t match your expectation….you get your a55 off the floor and you get back to the gym to sort out your problems…

I have spent too much of my life looking for an excuse….or a way to cover up my problems….but not anymore, now I need to man up and accept my responsibility. Things aren’t good right now, and the only person that is going to fix it is me, so that is what I will do.

Alexander:Lex we need to talk about the Miss Jessica situation, you and her have history….last week she ruined your main event and screwed you over, it had shades of Montreal written all over it. She vowed that she would destroy you Lex if you didn’t give in to her…..how do you approach a situation like that?

Lex:What is there to talk about?....Jess screwed me and she used the imagery of Montreal to make it all the more personal, she knows what that night did to my family and she used it to her advantage. The problem is that Jessica sees me as I used to be, the vindictive assassin that would do anything to get what he wanted….she thrived on that, because together we were a ruthless duo….

But I moved on, in some ways I have grown up and I have re-evaluated what I want from life….Jess is still stuck in the past and she cannot let go…..so she’ll continue to play her games and she’ll do whatever she has to in order to make my life hell…

But she won’t break me….she cannot break me, because I was shattered long ago and now I have been enlightened, there is no evil in this world that can pierce me now….I travel a new path and I will not be deviated from my route, no matter what anybody tries to throw at me…

Alexander:Lex, you seem to have found a new spiritual side……..I can’t say I understand it but if it works for you…

Lex:I have made peace with myself, and in this life that is all you can do….everyone else will form their opinion no matter what you do……there is no changing what you have no control over….

You live and learn…..and believe me when I say I have learnt much in my years, more than you will ever know…

This is my final chance at redemption….I will not blow it!

*Lex re-adjusts his facial mask and then walks away, leaving Alexander confused.

*Commercial break

Match 2
Scorpion/Josh Valor vs Geoff Steel/Jimmy Phillips

The action comes back from the commercials and Scorpion and Josh Valor are talking tactics in their corner. Jimmy Phillips is eyeing them from the opposite side of the ring and “Last resort” is blasting out of the speakers as Geoff Steel makes his way to the ring.

JT:Welcome back folks and this is our second match of the evening….changed from the original billing, which was Jimmy Phillips vs Josh Valor one on one….this is now Phillips & Steel versus Valor & Scorpion in what should be a fantastic matchup….

PS:Plenty of needle between Steel and Scorpion….Jimmy Phillips is looking to get back on the title trail and Valor is making waves right now with his aggressive approach….all the makings of a cracking encounter…

JT:There absolutely is….I am hearing that Miss Jessica is deliberating with her advisor, Doug Mckenzie, as we speak about a possible reprimand for Valor’s recent actions but nothing concrete just yet….for now we will be focusing on this match…

PS:We can deal with matters of fact when they become just that….for now we have action, and there is nothing more important than that….

The referee has a word with all four competitors and then it is decided internally that Scorpion and Jimmy Phillips will kick the action off. Both men slowly circle each other before launching forwards for a lockup in the middle…

PS:Scorpion isn’t playing those games…

The crowd boo as Scorpion feints for the lockup and then kicks Phillips in the stomach. He hammers JP with hard right hands and backs him onto the ropes before shooting him across the ring…

JT:BOOM!

Phillips flies back off the ropes and he takes Scorpion off his feet with a huge shoulder tackle. Scorpion then gets back up and Phillips floors him with a solid clothesline. The straight edge superstar gets back to his feet for a third time and JP lifts him onto his shoulders….

PS:He’s thinking fireman’s slam…

Scorpion drops off the back and he pushes JP into the corner before following up with a clothesline, only to eat knees to the face. Scorpion staggers backwards and Phillips lifts himself onto the second rope before diving off with an elbow point to the top of the skull…

JT:Nice impact from Phillips…

PS:Early momentum for Phillips is good, will help him relax…

Phillips drags Scorpion up by the head and he takes a tag from Geoff Steel, prompting cheers from the crowd. Both men pull Scorpion into the middle of the ring and connect with a double suplex before Steel makes a cover…………………………1…………………………2……………shoulder up.

JT: Geoff Steel will have been disappointed to have missed out on a spot in the match at War, but he can lay that blame at the feet of Scorpion, who blasted him with a chair last week…

PS:It’s swings and roundabouts Jeff….you take the rough with the smooth and Steel will get over it…

Steel rocks Scorpion with hard right hands before whipping him off the ropes and taking him down with a back elbow. Scorpion stumbles back to his feet and Steel scoop slams him back onto the mat before bouncing off the ropes and returning with a jumping elbow drop……………………….1……………………….2……………kickout!

JT:You can tell that Josh Valor wants to be a part of this match…attacking Zach Corchia may be one thing, but dominating guys like Phillips and Steel will soon get him real recognition…

Steel pulls Scorpion up by the head but is rocked by sick punches to the midsection. He doubles up and Scorpion hits a swinging neckbreaker…………………………1……………………….2………………..shoulder up. Scorpion crawls back to his feet and he waits for Steel to get up before flooring him with a running big boot………………..1…………………………….2……………………..Steel kicks out!

PS:Scorpion opting to re-charge and send the untamable Valor into the matchup…

Valor licks his lips as he hammers big fists into the back of Steel and then pushes him back into the corner. Steel looks for a right hand retaliation but Valor drives his knee into the stomach of his opponent, winding him, and then follows up with sickening shoulder thrusts to the gut…

JT:Valor is just a physical monster now, he enjoys the suffering he is capable of inflicting upon others…

Valor hammers hard rights and lefts into the face of Steel before grabbing his arm and sending him clattering into the opposite corner. He whirls on his feel and charges in after, landing with a big stinger splash. Steel stumbles out and Valor drills him with a belly to belly suplex…………………………1………………..2………….Steel with his shoulder up.

PS:Valor has always been a big guy, but in the past he was reckless and looked to be spectacular….now he uses his size and power to dominate foes…

Valor gets up and he stomps down on Steel’s chest before bouncing back off the ropes and returning with a leaping splash. Steel is prone on the canvass as Valor backs into the corner and highers himself onto the second rope….

JT:Valor looking for that stomp….

PS:And he found it…

The crowd groan as Valor jumps off and lands with both feet across the chest of Steel. The former 6CW Champion rolls in agony and splutters over the canvass before trying to get back up…

JT:I think Steel should have tried to make a tag whilst he had a chance…

PS:He never had one….

Steel tries to get up in the corner but Valor charges in with a running knee lift to the injured midsection before dragging Steel out by the arm and lifting him into a samoan drop……………………….1…………………….2………….kickout!

JT:Geoff Steel has taken a fair slice of a beating in the early parts of this matchup….

PS:Good teamwork to keep him grounded and now the interchange of tags…

Valor slaps the hand of Scorpion and the tag is initiated. Scorpion climbs up onto the ropes as Valor drills Steel with a backbreaker and Scorpion comes off top with a legdrop across the chest……..

JT:Really good work to the body…

…….shoulder up. Jimmy Phillips tries to get the crowd to inspire Steel by clapping their hands and the fans follow his lead. Scorpion pulls Steel back to his feet and he lifts him up before hitting a suplex in the middle of the ring. Scorpion then climbs back to a vertical base and he smirks at the grounded Steel before running the ropes…

PS:SCORPION ELBOW!

Scorpion looks for his own variation of the “peoples elbow” but Steel rolls out of the way in time and Scorpion finds nothing but canvass. Both men try their best to get back to their feet but Scorpion is much fresher and he runs at Steel and lands with a punt to the side of the head….

JT:VENOM STING!

………………..Steel gets his foot on the ropes!

PS:Scorpion rushed that….he got excited because he landed but he didn’t check the space between the ropes, needs to be more careful…opportunities don’t come thick and fast against a guy like Geoff Steel…

Scorpion bangs his hand on the mat before getting back to his feet. Valor calls for the tag but Scorpion tells him to wait one moment and then beckons Steel back up onto his feet…..Steel is slightly groggy after the kick to the head but he slowly gets up and turns to face Scorpion, who kicks him in the stomach….

PS:DEATH STALKER!

Scorpion looks for the stunner but Steel quickly hooks the arms into a full nelson and nails a crushing slam into the canvass, drawing massive cheers from the crowd. Both men are collapsed on the mat as their respective partners call for a tag…

JT:Steel needed that high impact move….but he now also needs to make a tag to Jimmy Phillips and get himself out of there…

Steel rolls over onto his stomach and slowly drags himself towards Jimmy Phillip’ outstretched hand. Scorpion is stomping his foot and trying to speed up his process of reaching over to Valor…

PS:Both these guys are stretching now….Valor is in….

JT:PHILLIPS IS IN!

The crowd roar as Phillips jumps over the top rope and bursts forwards, shooting for a double legged takedown on Valor and then opening up with huge right hands. Phillips gets back to his feet and he waits for Valor to stand up before scooping him onto his shoulders and running him into the corner, dropping him on the turnbuckle for a little snake eyes….

PS:Phillips is firing off now….Valor taking a hit….NORTHERN LIGHTS!

Phillips waits for Valor to turn around and connects with the NL suplex…………………………….1……………………….2…………………..Valor pushes his shoulder off the mat.

JT:Close but Josh Valor fighting on…

Phillips gets back to his feet and he lets Valor stand before amazingly bench pressing him over his head. The flashbulbs go off and the crowd cheer as JP holds his opponent there and then front slams him down onto the canvass.

PS:Jimmy Phillips is a strong guy….

JT:No kidding……and now he’s lining it up…….GAME-CHANGER!

PS:BOOM!

Phillips runs off the ropes and he returns for the “clothesline from hell” but Valor ducks and Scorpion takes the full brunt, sending him flying from the apron to the outside. Phillips looks annoyed with himself, before turning around and is taken down by a Lou Thesz press from Valor….

JT:Valor taking advantage of the situation….

PS:Like any top class professional should do….

Valor stands up and he beats his chest before dragging JP onto his feet and into position for a powerbomb. He holds his arm in the air and then flips Phillips up…

JT:Here we go…..

Phillips is lifted onto the shoulders of Valor but he rolls right down the back into a pin……………………..1………………………..2…………………………..shoulder up. Both men scramble back to their feet and Valor gets in close with a ferocious knee to the stomach before nailing a pumphandle slam……………………1………………………………..2……………………kickout!

PS:Valor is a tough son of a gun and I kind of like his new style…..it’s different…

Valor gets up and he taunts the crowd before whirling around quickly and snapping a jab out that knocks Geoff Steel off the ring apron to the outside, drawing bigger boos. Valor then waits for Jimmy Phillips to stand up and he lifts him onto his shoulders…..

JT:FORGOTTEN VALOR!

Phillips is able to scramble his way off the back of Valor and then spins him around, dragging him into position…

PS:TOUCH….

Valor elbows his way out of the “rockbottom” predicament and he spits in a rage before landing his brutal KO punch as JP turns back to face him….

JT:That’s the difference maker….

………………………Geoff Steel lands a flying headbutt from the top rope!

PS:Steel to the rescue, and that was more than necessary, because it was a three count all day and all night right there….

Valor is hurt from the headbutt but he manages to get back to his feet and rush at Steel. He tackles the former 6CW Champion and both men stagger backwards and through the ropes, just as Scorpion slaps out his hand and makes contact with Valor’s back….

JT:Scorpion got the tag, and now he is the legal man……

Scorpion climbs into the ring with a broad smile upon his face and he watches as Jimmy Phillips struggles to get back to his feet. The straight edge superstar then crouches down in the corner and waits for JP to rise…

PS:Phillips is a sitting duck, he has no idea what comes next…

On the outside, Steel and Valor are trading right hands before Valor knees Steel in the stomach and tries to powerbomb him on the concrete floor. Steel struggles and manages to swipe Valor’s legs before slingshotting him straight into the ringpost….

JT:That is a brutal connection….lookout now, damn!

Valor staggers away from the ringpost and Steel then charges at him, causing a collision that sends both men flying across the announce desk to the hard flooring behind. In the ring, Phillips is just getting back to his feet as Scorpion bursts forwards….

PS:ARIZONA BARK!

Phillips counters the spear into an almighty spinebuster and the crowd go wild. He stands up and flexes his biceps before beckoning for his opponent to get back up…

JT:Phillips just thundered out, he took Scorpion down town with that spinebuster…..and now he’s lining it up…

PS:It’s all turned on a sixpence for Scorpion……………about to say good night…

Phillips is stalking his foe and waiting for him to rise into position. Boos break out from the crowd as two men come running down to the ring…

JT:Those are Miss Jessica’s hired goons….

PS:Ali and Kanyama….what the heck are they doing….

JT:This is a goddamn joke…

They both jump up onto the apron and Phillips clocks Kanyama with a huge right hand that sends him off the apron and sprawling into the aisleway. He then grabs Ali and tosses him over the top rope into the ring….

PS:I don’t know why these guys are out here…

JT:Isn’t it obvious….the alliance between Jessica/Dubois and Scorpion, it’s all coming to light….TOUCHDOWN!

The crowd cheer as Phillips drills Ali with the “rockbottom” in the centre of the ring. He then gets back to his feet and trash talks the Japanese bodyguard and then turns around…

PS:DEATH STALKER!

JT:Dammit…..Phillips couldn’t deal with the numbers…

PS:Yes…..chalk up five for Scorpion……

JT:This stinks….once again this has descended into a goddamn joke…

Scorpion quickly rolls from the ring and drags Jessica’s bodyguard with him. Steel is on his knees, over the motionless body of Jimmy Phillips, and he glares at Scorpion with disgust. Scorpion raises his arms into the straight edge “X” and smiles as he backs into the aisleway…

JT:This is a bogus result….complete and utter bull(beep) if you ask me…

PS:It is what it is Jeff……Scorpion got the win for his team, him and Valor take the points and that is all that matters…

JT:Not it isnt….what matters is the fact that Miss Jessica sent her goon squad out here to change the course of this match, Phillips had it in the bag…

PS:You don’t know that….

JT:Of course I do, the whole damn world saw what I saw….Phillips had Scorpion finished, Ali and Kanyama altered it all and they had no damn business to do so….this is an absolute joke…

PS:Well I am happy…

JT:Good for you….Steel and Phillips are not happy, because they are seeing the big picture…Miss Jessica is running this show as she damn well pleases and that is not a good thing, Ascension deserves better than that…

PS:Whichever way you cut it, Scorpion has won this match and that is just something everyone will have to deal with….

Scorpion winks down at Steel and Phillips before he disappears through the curtain into the backstage area. Josh Valor is sat on the announce table looking a little disgruntled that it wasn’t him that picked up the victory for his team.

*The action goes backstage and Jerome Dubois is standing in Miss Jessica’s office. Jess is drinking coffee and flicking through some documents on her desk

Jessica:You all ready Dubby?

Dubois:Of course…when you are as professional as I am, you are ready at a moment’s notice. Believe me Jessica, nothing is going to get in ze way tonight…..zer is no outcome other zan Jerome Dubois walking out of here as ze new AWF Champion…

Jessica:Well I totally made it no disqualifications just so you can teach that ape, Cobra, a lesson….

Dubois:A very wise move my juniper berry…

*Jessica pretends to blush

Dubois: I am tired of hearing people talk of Cobra as zough he is some sort of second coming….he iz a mortal man, and an overhyped one at zat…..tonight I will dispel the myth zat Cobra iz a world class operator….because he iz not, he iz far from it….

Jessica:Yay for Dubby…I like so like a man who is confident in his abilities….talk about uber turned on right now….

Dubois:How about we have ourselves a little pre-match celebration zen?

*Jessica giggles as Dubois moves close to her. She then holds her finger up and places it on his lips

Jessica:Like I am so totally up for it and everything Jerome, but I think I would like to wait…

Dubois:Wait?

Jessica:Yeah….because although a man with confidence turns me on….a man with championship gold around his waist is destined to push all my buttons….

*She grins evily as she runs her hand along his stomach and teases going lower

Dubois:A woman with taste, zat does not surprise me…..very well Jessica, tonight our will plan will come into fruition….I will be ze new champion, and zen we will celebrate..

Jessica:Totes…

*Dubois smiles as he backs away from the desk and heads out of the office. Jessica takes a sip of coffee and then presses the button on her intercom. The voice of Doug McKenzie echoes through the speakers.

McKenzie:You called Miss Jessica?

Jessica:Totally did Dougy…..get me Scorpy in here asap….I need to talk with him..

McKenzie:Right away…

*The scene fades out with Miss Jessica smiling wickedly

*The scene changes and the crowd cheer as Johnny Goldman is standing with Jack Reynolds.

Reynolds:Johnny in just a few minutes you are set to go one on one with Cerberus…….over the last couple of weeks you have found yourself on the wrong side of Cerberus’ destructive path, what makes you believe that tonight is any different?

Goldman:I’ll level with you Jack, last couple of weeks have been some of the worst of my career. When I came here to Ascension I was expecting to pick up where I left off in CWA and the fact is, that isn’t how things work around here. My lay-off period and then being stripped of my championship, it took an effect on me and I have been nowhere near 100% these last couple of weeks.

That takes nothing away from Cerberus, that monster has been whopping my a55 black and blue these last few weeks and he is a real threat to anybody that steps in the ring with him. But I know that when I hit form, I can match this animal and I can tear him limb from limb, no questions asked.

I am working hard and my focus is slowly but surely coming back to me…I’m reaching my peak physical condition and boy it feels good. Tonight will be different because I am different…I’m improving and I am learning from mistakes I have made in the past….Cerberus is coming looking for me, and he is expecting a shellshocked Johnny Goldman to be ripe for the picking….but what he is going to find in that place is one pi55ed off, uncaged, unrelenting beast from hell that is ready to fight…

*Crowd pop

Reynolds:Are you worried that this rivalry with Cerberus is distracting you from your main goal, capturing the AWF Championship?

Goldman:Of course it is a distraction, but sometimes in life you got to take a detour that you really did not envisage. My only goal when I arrived on Ascension was to be the best and get that gold around my waist, defeating all comers that laid siege to my kingdom but right now I haven’t reached that point.

I have had to take the decision to leave the gold on the back burner, because taking care of some Cerberus sized business is of utmost importance right now. I can’t have anybody believe that I am a push over….that I am easy-picking for anybody that wants to make a name for themselves.

Cerberus picked this fight with me….and instead of putting my hands up in surrender, I am going to meet this monster head on and fight him at his own game…

I’m no coward, if somebody wants a piece of me, they can damn well have it because I like to go to war as much as the next man…

Tonight won’t resemble a wrestling contest….this will be a raging battle contested in the deepest depths of hell itself……and when all is said and done, I will stand victorious…

Crowd:GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLDDDDDDDDMMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN x10

Goldman:Lets do this…

*Goldman stares into the camera with a determined look upon his face before walking away from Reynolds and heading for the entranceway.

*The scene changes and Scorpion is heading towards his lockeroom, drawing huge boos from the crowd. He turns the corner into his wing when Doug McKenzie comes running over.

McKenzie:There you are…

Scorpion:Can I help you?

McKenzie:Yes, Miss Jessica would like to see you immediately…

Scorpion: I need to take a shower first and then I’ll pop over…

McKenzie:She said it was very important and that you should come right away…

*Scorpion looks a little annoyed

Scorpion:Can’t even take a shower….right, fine, let’s go then…

*McKenzie leads Scorpion down the corridor and then pushes through a door into the sparse lobby area. A voice sounds out.

???:We need to talk…

*Scorpion turns around and smirks as he sees Geoff Steel

Scorpion:I’ve got nothing to say to you Steel…

*He aims to walk away but Steel pulls him back

Steel:I’ve got plenty I want to say to you…

Scorpion:I’m not interested…..I only deal with people in my “league”…

Steel:I imagine it’s pretty deserted in your “league”, consider your dwelling at the bottom of the pile…

Scorpion:Remind me again who won tonight…

Steel:I’m here to make a challenge…….all this animosity between us, I want to settle in a match…

Scorpion: Like I said, not interested…

Steel:Get interested, quickly…

*Scorpion looks to walk away again but Steel drags him back. Scorpion quickly turns and looks to surprise Steel with a right hand but Steel blocks it and shoves Scorpion to the floor.

Steel:You might have got the better of me once, believe me, it will not happen again…

McKenzie:We really must get going…Miss Jessica needs to speak with Scorpion…

*Steel moves closer to McKenzie

Steel:You tell your boss that I want this little douchebag in a match so that I can teach him a lesson in manners….you understand me?

*McKenzie nods his head as Scorpion bursts forwards and takes Steel down to the ground. Both men begin to brawl on the floor before security intervenes and drags them away from each other.

Scorpion:Your lucky I didn’t just end your goddamn career Steel….

Steel:Please try….because I would love nothing more than to wipe that arrogant little smirk off that face….

Scorpion:You wouldn’t stand a chance…

Steel:Sign for the damn match then…

*Both men struggle against the restraints of security. Doug McKenzie then orders security to lead Scorpion to Miss Jessica as Geoff Steel is escorted towards his lockeroom

Match 3
Johnny Goldman vs Cerberus

The action is back at ringside and the arena lights go down as “Hell” echoes out to a chorus of boos and screams. Red flames burst from the turnbuckles and then red pyrotechnics explode from the stage front as Cerberus marches out into view.

JT:Plenty happening in the backstage area…

PS:Steel just assaulted Scorpion, he should be reprimanded…

JT:Scorpion threw the first punch, not Steel’s fault that he put him on his a55….

Cerberus slowly walks down towards the ring and climbs up onto the apron. He gazes around the arena before climbing over the top rope into the ring.

JT:This next contest is scheduled for one fall….Johnny Goldman is aiming to get even with the monster, Cerberus…

PS:I don’t know how wise this is….Cerberus has been whopping Goldman’s a55 for weeks now, what has changed since then?....nothing….

JT:Goldman says he is fresher and more focused….but Cerberus is as animalistic as they come, he has a violent mean streak that Goldman will have to be wary of….

Cerberus stands in the centre of the ring and just glares back towards the entranceway. “The golden rule” screams out and the crowd pop as golden sparkles begin to fall from the rafters and evaporate into smoke as they hit the stage.

Crowd:Gooooooooooooooooooooooollllllllllllllldddddddddddddmmmmmmmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnn x7

PS:Johnny Goldman said he was coming for a fight tonight, but surely that plays into Cerberus’ hands even more….

JT:I would favour Cerberus in a brawl but you never know….Johnny Goldman is a tough New Yorker and he knows how to fight…..damn he’s coming for a fight…

Goldman walks out onto the stage, fire burning in his eyes. He stares down at Cerberus and then breaks into a sprint, culminating in him sliding under the bottom rope. Cerberus moves forwards to block him off but Goldman meets him with a stiff shoulder block and then begins to fire off with big right hands…

PS:And here we go…nothing fancy about this, we are looking at a bar room brawl….

JT:These two men aren’t going to blow your mind with wrestling moves tonight….they want to hurt each other and that is all that matters…

Cerberus tries to cover up as Goldman backs him onto the ropes and works the body and the head with stiff shots. Goldman drives his knee into the stomach of the monster and then looks for an irish whip but Cerberus pushes him away and then rocks him to the core with a huge uppercut….

PS:The sound of that echoed all around…

Cerberus begins to unload with right hands of his own and he grabs Goldman’s arm before whipping him into the corner and following in with a clothesline. Cerberus then beckons Goldman out and seizes him around the throat…

JT:Choke…

Goldman jumps out the side and kicks Cerberus in the stomach before rushing forwards and clotheslines them both over the top rope to the outside of the ring. They both land on their feet and Cerberus staggers back as Goldman charges at him again and clotheslines him over the security railing into the crowd…

PS:Has the bell sounded for this match to start?

JT:I didn’t hear it….but the atmosphere in here is electric right now so I might have missed it…

Goldman climbs up onto the security railing and waits for Cerberus to stand before he jumps off and lands a double axe handle that staggers the monster further into the crowd area. Security are on point to usher the hoard of fans that are trying to get close to the action…

JT:We knew Goldman was coming for a fight but I had no idea this is what he meant….he’s taking Cerberus to town right now…

The cameras follow as Goldman pounds away on Cerberus and sends him clattering through the crowd area towards the bottom right hand side of the arena, to the right of the stage. Cerberus staggers into a railing, blocking off access to the production area, and he kicks the oncoming Goldman in the stomach before lifting him up and dropping him across the steel railing…

PS:Cerberus working his way back in now and that is what Goldman did not want…

Goldman doubles up in pain and then takes a big boot to the side of the head, sending him over the railing anc crashing ontop of the production table.

JT:Not a good position for those guys to be in right now…

Cerberus climbs up onto the railing, about seven foot above where Goldman is laying, and then jumps off, looking for a huge legdrop…

Crowd:Holy (beep) x5

PS:There was nobody home, Cerberus just crashed and burned…

Cerberus collapses through the table and several monitors fall ontop of him as Goldman rolls away just in time. Cerberus is engulfed in the wreckage but begins to move..

JT:That is the frightening thing about Cerberus, his threshold for pain is beyond belief…

Cerberus begins to get back up as Goldman clocks him with right hands then drags him away from the wreckage, suplexing him on the hard flooring near the rampway.

PS:This is just like a no holds barred matchup…

JT:I don’t think this is a matchup…..no falls can take place when neither guy is in the ring…

Goldman gets up and he stomps down on Cerberus’ chest before dragging the monster back up and looking for an irish whip. Cerberus reverses the whip and he sends Goldman clattering into the side of the ramp before charging at him…

PS:BROGUE…

Cerberus looks for the bicycle kick but Goldman lowers his head and counters with a backdrop that sends Cerberus over his head and clattering onto the ramp above. Goldman climbs up onto the ramp and he seizes Cerberus by the head…

JT:Looking for the powerbomb out on the steel….

Goldman looks to lift Cerberus but the monster is too strong and keeps his feet before backdropping Goldman across the solid steel. Goldman writhes in pain and Cerberus drags one of the huge metal panels off the ramp….

PS:This is bad news here….

Cerberus waits for Goldman to stand up and then he lifts the weapon up above his head, only for JG to counter with a huge right hand to the stomach, causing the metal panel to fall with a crash. Goldman then drills Cerberus with a DDT on the steel…

JT:This is a pure train wreck….nothing else to say about it….neither of these guys will be getting a title shot at the end of the month if this carries on..

Goldman crawls back up to his feet and he staggers towards ringside and rests against the ring apron. The referee is telling Goldman to get himself in the ring but JG shakes his head and lifts the apron up, dragging out a trash can from underneath…

PS:This isn’t a hardcore match….the use of weapons is not permitted….

Goldman lifts the can up and walks towards Cerberus in the aisleway, only for Cerberus to stun him with another uppercut and then a knee to the midsection. Cerberus pulls Goldman into place and looks to flip him up….

JT:Goldman may be about to “burn in hell”…

Goldman swipes Cerberus’ feet at the last moment and then slingshots the monster, sending him face-first into the ringpost. Cerberus staggers back in a daze before Goldman grabs his arm and whips him across the floor…..BOOM!

PS:That will leave a mark…

Cerberus crashes into the steps, knees first, and goes sprawling across the hard flooring. Goldman turns to the fans and raises his arms in the air, drawing massive cheers….

JT:Johnny Goldman said he was going to show a different side of himself tonight, and he was not kidding…

Cerberus is staggering up near the announce area when Goldman charges at him and scores with his trademark big boot to the face, leaving Cerberus motionless on the floor. Goldman breathes in the cheers of the crowd before hauling the monster up and dumping him across the announce table…

PS:Goldman has Cerberus right where he wants him, not something I was expecting to see…

Goldman hammers right hands into the face of Cerberus before he climbs up on the table aswell. He drags the monster up by the head and positions his head between his legs…

JT:Goldman is thinking powerbomb…..and we might be best off getting out of here Paul….

PS:I’m with you…

Goldman sets up for the powerbomb but Cerberus swipes his legs at the last moment and then stomps down on the midsection of JG. Cerberus climbs down off the table and he pulls Goldman off the table as well before launching him against the ring apron. Cerberus then pulls the covering off the announce desk and rips out a monitor…

JT:Cerberus has some evil intentions of his own now…

CRACK!....Cerberus lashes the monitor across the side of Goldman’s head and then lifts it above his head and begins to drill it down into the top of Goldman’s skull until JG is slumped on the floor. Cerberus throws the monitor across the floor and lets out a monstrous roar before dragging Goldman towards him….

PS:Cerberus back in the driving seat and this is bad for Goldman…………BURN IN HELL!

Cerberus looks for a black tiger tombstone but Goldman runs him back and slams him against the ringpost. Goldman then backs away before rushing back and scoring once again with the huge big boot to the face…

JT:Sole Searcher connects again…that is sickening impact…

PS:Goldman should get Cerberus in the ring, then we can start this match and he can grab the win…

JT:I don’t think Goldman is thinking like that…

Goldman heads over to the steel steps and he drags them away from their supports before hauling them across the floor, positioning them in front of the announce table. The crowd are making a lot of noise as JG then pulls Cerberus towards the steps and then up them….

PS:Goldman has created his very own elevated platform right here….

JT:This will not end well….no way whatsoever…

Goldman gives the crowd the thumbs up and then places Cerberus’ head between his legs and looks down at the announce table. There is a scary intensity in Goldman’s eyes…

PS:Cerberus is going for a ride straight to hell here…

*Crowd boo

Cerberus drops back to his knees and he lands with a vicious low blow that doubles Goldman up in agony. Cerberus then stands up and seizes Goldman around the throat….

JT:Everything that was bad before, just got a whole lot worse….

PS:I think Goldman is out of his depth with Cerberus…..CHOKESLAM!

JT:OH MY GOD!

Crowd:Holy (beep) x10

PS:Unbelievable…..that is truly sickening….

JT:We need medics…

Cerberus lifts Goldman up into the air for a chokeslam but Goldman counters in midair with a diving DDT that crashes him and Cerberus backwards through the announce table. Both men are sprawled out in the wreckage as the referee indicates for help from the back….

JT:Goldman said he wasn’t going to be pushed around, and he proved a point….but how much has that point taking out of him, and Cerberus?

PS:Goldman showed his guts but at what cost?.....if anything, Cerberus is only going to be buoyed from this, he loves a war….

JT:I think this crowd are appreciative of what Goldman just did, but I don’t believe for a second that this war is over…..infact I think this is just the beginning….

Medics arrive on the scene and begin to check on both competitors. Goldman is arched across the wreckage of splintered wood and his back looks beaten as he is dragged out for assistance. Cerberus is helped back to his feet and he then shoves the medics away before grabbing one by the throat…

PS:Cerberus is angry…

JT:He’s snapped…dammit what does it take to keep this guy down…

Cerberus launches the medic backwards into the ringpost before uppercutting another to the ground and big booting a third straight in the face. A group of five medics are huddled near Johnny Goldman and brace themselves for an assault…

JT:Cerberus is hurt though, despite his actions here….and I think he will leave this fight for another day….

Cerberus glares at Johnny Goldman before drawing his finger across his throat and backing away, heading for the aisleway. Johnny Goldman is slowly sitting up and he watches Cerberus retreat with a stern expression on his face.

Crowd:Gooooooooooooollllllllllllddddddddddmmmmmmmmmaaaaaaaannnnnnnn x10

PS:Both of these men know they have been in a fight tonight….and now Cerberus knows he has a worthy adversary in Johnny Goldman….I can’t wait to see what happens next…

JT:I agree….this one is far from over and I would expect to see a few more twists and turns before this is all said and done..

Goldman is back up in his feet and the crowd cheer as he hobbles towards the aisleway and Cerberus disappears from view.

*Miss Jessica is heading out of her office as Jack Reynolds accosts her

Reynolds:Can I get a quick word Miss Jessica…

Jessica:Like totally hurry up…..I am going to the VIP area to wait for J-Dubby to bring back the gold…

Reynolds:I just wanted to get an idea on what is going to happen to Josh Valor with all of his disciplinary issues in recent weeks?

Jessica:Valor is fun for ratings, but he is like so becoming a nightmare for me…..so he needs to reign it in or else. As of right now, Josh Valor is in probation….he either follows the rules or there will be serious consequences. He can like do whatever he wants when he is in a match…but outside of the ring, he needs to learn to keep his hands to himself….

Reynolds:Any idea on what those consequences will be?

Jessica:Not right now, but I assure you that Valor will not like what happens if he continues to defy me. I am trying to so make a good show here; nobody can get in the way of that…

Reynolds:Thanks for your time Miss Jessica…

Jessica:Whatever….

*Jessica struts off, leaving Reynolds to shake his head

*Johnny Goldman is shown staggering through the backstage area and he looks beatup. Doug McKenzie is in conversation with a stagehand as Goldman makes his way over.

Goldman:McKenzie….I need a word…

McKenzie:What is it Johnny?

Goldman:You saw what happened out there between me and Cerberus….we have serious business that needs to be taken care of and I want you to make it happen…

McKenzie:That is not my jurisdiction, Miss Jessica makes the matches…

Goldman:And you are her advisor, so advise her to make a match between me and Cerberus…a match where anything goes, we need to finish this…

McKenzie:I can’t guarantee anything Johnny but I’ll see what I can do…

Goldman:You do that, because I’m not going anywhere or setting my sights on anything else until that match happens…..

McKenzie:I’ll run the idea by her in our next meeting….

Goldman:Appreciate that…

McKenzie:Maybe get some rest though….no offense but you look like hell….

Goldman:Yeah, I feel like it to…

*McKenzie looks concerned as Goldman hobbles away and heads for the trainer’s room

*The crowd pop as the action goes backstage and Cobra is with Raymond Alexander. The AWF Championship is resting across Cobra’s shoulder

Alexander:Cobra….

*Crowd pop

Alexander:Tonight in a change to schedule, you will defend the AWF Championship against Jerome Dubois….only two days after winning that belt, you have to expect foul play?

Cobra:I think it goes without saying doesn’t it?....I mean Sunday night I walk through three other guys in an extremely stern test, have my hand raised in victory and I am declared the first ever AWF Champion. Only two days later and I am expected to defend this belt although I have not been informed of the situation until the start of the night..

I expected this, in fact I could have predicted it…..I don’t know who appointed Miss Jessica into her role, but they are seriously lacking in mental capacity if they believed she could be anything but biased…

Miss Jessica and Jerome Dubois are a unit……they are operating together and they are conspiring to end my reign before it has even begun…

Add into that the no holds barred stipulation and I am fully aware of what tonight will entail, I’ve seen it all before….

But my opponent….and my rivals have never seen my full arsenal before and they have no idea what I am capable of…

Whether there is one or twelve, it really doesn’t matter to me because I will overcome the odds, it’s what I do….and I do it damn well…

Dubois can throw all he has at me, and Miss Jessica can place as many obstacles in my path as she pleases…it won’t be enough and I will overcome….

I came back to 6WF because I want to see my name up in lights, I want no more doubts that I am the best in the world….

That means defeating anybody that walks across my path……dismissing all challenges and cementing my legacy as an undisputed champion….

It means standing up against all manners of tyranny and that is exactly what I will do…..Jerome Dubois thinks he has it all figured out, but the fact is, he has no earthly idea what he has got himself into here tonight….

When tonight is over……there will be no VIP celebration for TMZ’s new skankiest couple……the spotlight will shine upon the true king of Ascension….

The spotlight will shine on me!

*The crowd cheer as Cobra holds the championship up and smiles before walking out of shot

Main event
AWF Championship
Cobra © vs Jerome Dubois


Ding ding

Mike Bird:Ladies and gentlemen the following contest is a no holds barred match………….for the AWF CHAMPIONSHIP!

*Crowd pop

JT:This is our main event……and what a matchup this is going to be….

PS:This is the night Jeff, this is the moment when Jerome Dubois finally gets the respect he deserves….he will usurp Cobra from the top of the Ascension mountain and these people will have no choice but to honour him…

JT:If Dubois beats Cobra of his own accord tonight then I will admit my mistakes….but I can’t help thinking there is a bigger picture here, I agree with Cobra, because Jessica and Dubois are far too confident for my liking…..

PS:Cobra is just scared because he knows he is going to get embarrassed here this evening…

JT:I highly doubt that….but this should be a fantastic matchup none the less….championship gold on the line and this crowd here in Birmingham are fired up…

PS:So they should be….Ascension stealing the limelight again because we are the number one show in pro wrestling right now…

The lights in the arena dim and then “Mind Eraser” echoes out of the soundsystem, drawing huge boos from the crowd. Dubois jogs out with his back to the crowd wearing a Black suit vest with "Still a Phenomene" written across the back in white. Dubois then turns arounds and stretches his arms out from side to side as he looks up to the heavens as a Red Pyro shoot off behind him. Dubois makes his way down the ramp with and walks up the steel steps where he wipes his feet on the apron and then steps into the ring. As Dubois enters the ring he removes his robe and climb on to the apron where he is seen wearing a white trunks with “Culture” Written on the back.

Mike Bird:Introducing first………………the challenger…………………from Paris, France…………..weighing in at 275 pounds…………….Jeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrooooooooommmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeeee Duuuuuuubbbbbbbbbboooooooiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssss!

The crowd continue to boo as Dubois mockingly bows and then motions a belt around his waist. He paces the ring and then stretches against the ropes with a triumphant smile upon his face.

JT:Dubois is in such a confident mood, which concerns me….because he should be more edgier considering the talent of his opponent…

PS:Dubois is in the zone Jeff……and he has no fear, no matter how good Cobra is….Dubois is on a different level tonight and that is going to show through…

Dubois smiles as the crowd chant “You suck” and then he turns to the stage as “King of the stereo” screams out and the cheers from the fans become deafening. Red, silver and green pyros explode up into the air and then Dubois’ opponent makes his entrance.

Mike Bird:And his opponent…………from Tijuana, Mexico…………..weighing in at 260 pounds…………he is the current, reigning and defending AWF Champion……………….Cooooooooooobbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaaaaa!

JT:The history between Cobra and Dubois goes way back to 6CW….these two guys hate one another and that is never going to change….

PS:They have fought in 6CW and now here on Ascension, Cobra has always got the upper hand but Dubois is a different animal now….Cobra can kiss his championship goodbye…

JT:You sound as confident as Dubois, but I don’t think anyone else shares that confidence…..Cobra looks in amazing shape, just two days after winning that belt…

Cobra smiles at the reception from the crowd and then removes his t-shirt and tosses it to the fans. He unstraps his championship from his shoulder and holds it in the air as he makes his way down towards the ring.

JT:A former CWC and TAW Champion is Cobra, but he is back in 6WF to cement his legacy, to prove himself as the best…….and I believe he is fully capable of doing so…..I think he has all the tools to be an all-time great…

PS:Your talking baloney….you don’t know that….Cobra is good, sure, but an “all-time great”?...you can’t make a statement like that…

JT:I believe he has that kind of talent….maybe it won’t happen, but I truly believe it will…

Cobra slaps hands with the fans in the front row before climbing up into the ring and facing Dubois. The Frenchmen is smiling arrogantly as Cobra raises the championship belt in the air…

JT:At least Dubois has learnt his lesson from two weeks ago….when he slapped Cobra across the face to start their match and ended up getting his a55 whooped…

PS:He was jetlagged, Dubois had no time to prepare for that match…

JT:Just like Cobra had no time to prepare for this tonight, we’ll see who copes better by the end…

PS:Dubois obviously….

JT:Remember folks this is no holds barred…..no countouts or disqualifications, only way to win is by submission or pinfall….

PS:Another factor to play into Dubois’ hands…

JT:Is it?....because for me that favours the more aggressive style of Cobra, but I guess we will see…

The referee gives his final instructions to both men and then holds the AWF Championship into the air. Dubois trash talks Cobra but the champion just glares at him as the bell sounds to start the match up. Both men circle each other for a moment and then lockup in the centre of the ring…

PS:Dubois needs to get a fast start and wear Cobra down, that should be the strategy….

JT:Problem with a guy like Cobra is, he is adept at standing and groundgame….he will pose serious threats to Dubois in ever department…

Cobra and Dubois lockup and Cobra quickly twists the right arm of Dubois and pushes him against the ropes before running at him and looking for a jumping knee strike to the chin, which lands. Cobra then drags the groggy Dubois in the centre of the ring and twists him around..

JT:You have got to be kidding me…………SNAKEBITE!

The crowd are on their feet as Cobra turns Dubois for the spinning impailer but Dubois manages to break free and rolls under the bottom rope for a breather. The crowd boo Dubois as he takes a moment but Cobra runs over and vaults over the top rope, crashing ontop of Dubois with a crossbody…

PS:Cobra is not giving Dubois an inch…

JT:And nor should he, keep ontop of his foe from the get go and make him suffer….that should be Cobra’s aim…

Cobra stands up and he touches hands with the fans in the front row before dragging Dubois up and dumping him back into the ring. Cobra climbs up onto the apron and he waits for Dubois to stand before springboarding onto the ropes and flying across with a huge roaring elbow…

PS:Dubois could be out cold after that impact….

1…………………………….2………….Dubois gets his shoulder up. Cobra is quickly back to his feet and he drags Dubois up by the head and then gutwrenches him up into a powerbomb position………..

JT:Dubois with the backslide…

JT:Cobra is so fast for a big man and as agile as they come………….Dubois will have his work cut out on the speed department…

Cobra drags Dubois back up and drives heavy Muay Thai knees to the head before pushing him back into the corner and charging in for a big boot…

PS:Dubois getting out of there in time…

Cobra crashes into the turnbuckle as Dubois ducks and then rolls the Mexican up…………………..1…………………….2………………shoulder up. They get back to their feet and Cobra looks for the “Viper Strike” buzzsaw kick but Dubois ducks it….

JT:AU REVOIR!

PS:New champion…

Dubois nails the sitout sideslam and hooks both legs……………………..1……………………….2……………….shoulder up. Dubois shakes his head in anger as he gets back to his feet and he drags Cobra up before flipping him onto his shoulders…

PS:CULTURE SHOCK!

Cobra jumps out of the back of Dubois and runs off the ropes, returning with a running european uppercut that knocks Dubois down. Cobra then runs off the opposite ropes as Dubois gets back up…

JT:Beautiful powerslam counter from Dubois…

1……………………………………2………………..Cobra gets his shoulder up!

PS:Dubois is watching every move his opponent he makes, he has studied Cobra so closely…

Dubois backs into the corner and lifts himself onto the second rope. He waits for Cobra to stand then jumps off, landing a double axe handle to the skull of the champion and knocks him down. Cobra gets back up and Dubois lashes hard knife edge chops to his chest before irish whipping Cobra off the ropes…

JT:Cobra into the springboard….no!

Cobra springs onto the ropes and floats back for a crossbody but Dubois ducks, causing Cobra to land hard on his chest. Dubois then runs off the ropes and returns with a rolling cradle pinfall……………………..1………………2…………..shoulder up. They get back to their feet and Dubois is quick in with a sharp kick to the stomach before nailing a double armed DDT…

PS:Dubois has this one…

1…
……..2
………………..shoulder up!

JT:Dubois thought he had the three count…but the referee is telling him otherwise…

Dubois gets back to his feet and exchanges a few words with the referee before heading to the corner and beginning to climb the ropes. Cobra is a little groggy as he stumbles to his feet and Dubois from on high with an impressive missile dropkick…

PS:Dubois is dominating right now…

JT:He is certainly doing a damn sight better than he did two weeks ago…

Dubois gets to his feet and he dances from one foot to the other, mocking Cobra, before kneeling down in the corner and beckoning his opponent to stand up. Cobra is holding his chest as he makes it back to his feet..

PS:Dubois lining this up beautifully……….FRENCH CONNECTION!

Dubois bursts across the ring for the diving spear but Cobra leapfrogs over him, sending Dubois crashing chest-first into the turnbuckle. Dubois staggers back out and Cobra nails a reverse DDT……………………..1……………………2………………Dubois gets his shoulder up.

JT:You take your foot off the gas for one moment and you will pay against Cobra, you can’t give this guy an inch…

Cobra gets back up onto his feet and he gives the crowd the thumbs up before beckoning for Dubois to stand. The challenger is unsteady as he makes his way back up and Cobra seizes him around the throat, lifting him into a chokeslam position before dropping him across his knee in a modified backbreaker…

PS:That is horrible to watch…

Dubois writhes in pain and then lays slumped on the canvass as Cobra smirks at him and the heads to the corner. The champion slowly makes his way to the top and the flashbulbs go off…

JT:Cobra senses his chance now…..NO KNOWN CURE!

Cobra flips off into the double rotation moonsault but Dubois rolls out of the way before impact can be made. Cobra shows great athleticism to land out on his feet but he staggers slightly and presents an opportunity for the onrushing Dubois…

PS:FRENCH CONNECTION!

The crowd groan as Dubois nails the spear and Cobra’s head whiplashes off the canvass…Dubois smiles as he listens to the crowd’s boos….

Dubois:NEW CHAMPION!

………………………Cobra gets his shoulder up!

JT:Dubois far too nonchalant right there…..

PS:He thought he had the three…

JT:he should have made sure….chances like that don’t present themselves often….

Dubois gets back to his feet and there is a heated argument between himself and Cobra before he beckons for his opponent to stand up. The champion is doubled up and holding his midsection as he crawls to his feet…

PS:Dubois just needs to keep focused and do what needs to be done…don’t get complacent now Jerome…

Dubois lets Cobra up and then lands a heavy knee to the midsection for dragging him into a front facelock and spinning him around..

JT:Dubois lands this and we may very well be looking at a new champion….

PS:He calls this Fortune!

Dubois looks to lift Cobra up into the “go flasher” but Cobra floats over the back and spins Dubois around before nailing him with a t-bone suplex. Cobra is on his knees and breathes deeply before getting back to his feet and he waits for Dubois to get back up before swinging the buzzsaw kick…

JT:VIPER STRIKE!

Dubois lands a brutal low-blow on Cobra and the crowd boo furiously but the referee is forced to let the match continue. Dubois mockingly dusts off his hands and then grabs Cobra’s legs…

PS:Dubois can get away with that, no dq’s in this match…..anything goes….

JT:It’s still disgusting to watch….and now this….

PS:Cobra is finished….SHARPSHOOTER!

The crowd boo as Dubois twists Cobra over onto his stomach and applies the sharpshooter to great effect. Cobra yells in pain and tries to pull himself towards the ropes, but Dubois is sat down ontop of him, restricting his movement….

JT:Dubois has this in tight, but Cobra is a warrior, no way will he tapout if he senses a way of getting free…

PS:There is no way….he’s trapped and this one is so very nearly over…

Cobra arches up on his palms and tries to scramble towards the ropes, but Dubois’ resistance is solid and the champion is still unable to get to his desired location. The referee is asking him if he wants to quit but Cobra shakes his head vigorously and continues his fight…

JT:Cobra needs to find the ropes before the pain takes ahold of him and he has nothing left…

PS:We are fast approaching that point…

Dubois has the legs of his opponent bent at a sickening angle and is applying real pressure. Cobra, though, refuses to give in and waves the referee out of his face…

JT:Cobra just will not say quit….it’s not in his nature…

PS:Then Dubois will break him in half……

JT:ROPES!

The crowd roar in celebration as Cobra makes another jaunt forwards and his left hand closes around the bottom rope. The referee signals for the break but Dubois defies the orders and drags Cobra back once again…

PS:How can you enforce a rope break when there is no disqualifications?

JT:I don’t suppose you can…

PS:Exactly….the game is well and truly up for the soon to be former champion…

Cobra is holding his face and screaming in pain as Dubois continues to crank up the pressure and really push him to his limits. The referee is on his knees, asking Cobra to consider his options, as Cobra pushes himself forwards once again and looks to grab at the ropes…

JT:The ropes aren’t going to make any difference Cobra…

Cobra reaches out but misses the ropes as Dubois sits right back into the hold and makes the pain beyond excruciating. The champion’s hand quivers as he considers defeat for the first time..

PS:What a scalp this would be….Dubois will prove everyone wrong with a submission defeat of Cobra…

Cobra launches forwards again and his hand clasps around the bottom rope, but there is no decision for the referee to make. Dubois continues to utilise the submission hold as Cobra drags himself under the bottom rope and begins to drop down onto the floor below…

JT:Cobra doing whatever he can to escape right here….

Dubois keeps ahold of Cobra’s legs and he drops down to the outside of the ring with him and attempts to twist him back into the submission, only for Cobra to lash out with both feet and kick Dubois backwards into the steel steps. Cobra scrambles back to his feet and runs at Dubois….BOOM!

PS:That is goodnight, godbless, forget about it……..

Dubois drop toe holds his foe right into the steel steps and then climbs up with a smug grin on his face. He stomps down hard on the back of Cobra before hauling him up and dumping him under the bottom rope, back into the ring. Dubois then taunts the crowd as he walks around the outside and grabs a steel chair from the announce area…

JT:Cmon now…

PS:No disqualifications Jeff….you know that…

Dubois runs his hand along the steel and then rolls into the ring, screaming at Cobra to stand up. The champion is very groggy as he slowly moves back towards his vertical base and Dubois swings the chair at him………….CRACK!

JT:Damn what a shot…

The chair collides right between the referee’s eyes as Cobra ducks out of the way. The official is sprawled unconscious on the canvass as Dubois looks shocked at his handywork…

PS:What have you done Jerome…

JT:He’s lost the damn plot……..lookout now……BOOM!

PS:Listen to that impact….

Dubois quickly looks back to the chair in his hands and looks to swing it at Cobra but the champion reacts faster and buzzsaw kicks the weapon right into the face of the Frenchmen. Dubois staggers off balance and Cobra grabs ahold of him….

JT:SNAKEBITE….it’s all over…

PS:No point in anyone counting, we have no referee…

Cobra bangs his hand down on the canvass and then looks annoyed as he realises there will be no three count. He slowly gets back to his feet and kicks the chair to the corner before trying to revive the referee….

JT:Cobra just needs to keep his focus…he has Dubois down and out, keep it that way and wait for the referee to come to….

PS:Dubois needs a little help right about now…

The boos suddenly fill the air as Miss Jessica’s cronies, Ali and Kanyama come bursting onto the stage and rush down the ramp towards the ring…

JT:We saw enough of these idiots earlier on…

Ali rolls into the ring and he aims a number of quick fire martial arts kicks at Cobra but the champion ducks each one and then kicks Ali in the stomach and hauls him high over the top rope, causing Ali to land with serious impact on his back…

PS:Poor Ali…

Kanyama rolls in behind Cobra and he beckons the champion to roll around before attempting a corkscrew roundhouse kick, which is duly ducked by Cobra and is then decimated by a huge release german suplex. Jerome Dubois is slowly getting back to his feet…

JT:I can’t believe those little jacka55es tried to get involved in this match….as though the odds weren’t stacked in Dubois’ favour enough….

PS:Cmon J-Dubs…

Crowd:Co-bra x10

Dubois stumbles back up onto his feet and he staggers around into Cobra, who kicks him in the stomach and then underhooks both arms and nails a tiger bomb. Dubois is flat on the canvass as Cobra gives a signal to the crowd and then heads for the corner…

JT:Dubois may have the odds on his side but not the luck…..there is no stopping Cobra……….NO KNOWN CURE!

PS:We just found an antidote!

*Crowd boo furiously

JT:You have got to be kidding me….

Scorpion jumps the ring barrier and climbs onto the apron before shoving Cobra off the top rope to the canvass below. The straight edge superstar then climbs into the ring and grabs the steel chair as Cobra staggers back up…..SMACK!

JT:Like a goddamn gunshot….I can’t believe this…

PS:Believe it Jeff….oh I love it when a plan falls together….this is masterful…..

Scorpion crashes the chair right against the skull of Cobra and laughs as he throws the weapon away. He then stands over the champion and raises his arms in an “X” symbol before grabbing Dubois and dumping him across the prone body of the champion…

JT:Not like this…cmon this isn’t how this should go down…

PS:This is exactly how this should end…

The referee is slowly coming to his senses and he drags himself across the canvass and brings his arm into the air……

*Crowd pop

PS:No frickin way….

JT:Yes way, Cobra will not give up, no matter what they throw at him, this kid has got serious guts….

Scorpion shakes his head at the official before beginning to stomp down on Cobra as Dubois continues to revive himself against the ropes. Kanyama and Ali are both back up on their feet and they stagger back over the ring to join the assault…

JT:This is a goddamn mugging….Cobra never stood a bloody chance…

Scorpion kneels over Cobra and drives heavy fists into his head before dragging him back to his feet and holding him in place as Dubois gets up. Ali passes the challenger the steel chair and the crowd boo as Dubois raises it over his head…

PS:This is a beautiful moment………the moment when Jerome Dubois will reign over Ascension…

JT:It makes me sick….this is a four on one robbery…..

“CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES…..THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!

*Crowd ultra pop

PS:No…

JT:Oh hell yes…

The noise in Birmingham is manic as Geoff Steel, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, bursts through the curtain and begins to sprint down towards ringside. Ali and Kanyama roll out to face him but Steel runs right through Kanyama with a clothesline before ducking a right hand from Ali and body presses him onto his shoulders…

JT:INCOMING!

Steel launches Ali like a lawn dart into the ringpost and leaves him sprawled on the floor before sliding into the ring. Scorpion releases Cobra and makes a beeline for Steel, they meet head on and begin to trade off with right hands….

PS:Steel has no business being here…

JT:Neither does Scorpion….that’s why Steel is out here….to prevent him from influencing this match….

Steel blocks a right hand from Scorpion and he hammers the straight edge superstar back against the ropes before running at him and nailing a clothesline that sends them both crashing over the top to the outside. Steel then battles Scorpion up the aisleway and onto the ramp…

JT:That’ll teach Scorpion to get involved in things that don’t concern him….

PS:Won’t prevent the outcome of this match though…

Dubois jabs the steel chair into the midsection of Cobra and then throws the weapon away as he pulls the champion in towards him and flips him up…

PS:CULTURE SHOCK….get that belt ready…

The crowd look on stunned as Dubois decimates Cobra with the dominator powerbomb and then covers him……………………………………..one……………………………………….two………………………………thr-shoulder up from Cobra.

JT:My word I don’t believe it….Cobra just will not stay down…

PS:Count faster referee….jeez….

Dubois slams his hand against the mat and almost pulls his mask off with frustration as the referee signals a clear two count. The challenger gets back to his feet and seizes the official by the front of the shirt but the referee pulls himself free and tells Dubois to get on with the match…

JT:No amount of complaining from Dubois is going to change the outcome of this match…he needs to work for it….

On the stage, Scorpion kicks Steel in the stomach and looks for the stunner but Steel hooks him into a full nelson and then slams him across the exposed steel of the stage. Scorpion writhes in pain as Steel drags him up and gives a signal to the crowd…

PS:No not this….anything but this…

JT:Steel has had enough of Scorpion….BLADECUTTER ON THE STEEL!

The crowd pop as Steel piledrivers Scorpion on the stage and leaves him motionless. The former 6CW Champion gets to his feet and he salutes the fans before shaking his head at his foe and exits through the curtain.

JT:Steel’s work here is done…he isn’t interested in the outcome of this match, he just wants a fair conclusion like everyone else…

PS:He should be fined and suspended…

JT:According to you everybody should be fined and suspended…

PS:Except our next AWF Champion, J-Dubs has done nothing wrong….

Dubs pushes the referee aside and then climbs up onto the top rope and perches there for a moment. He gives the finger to the fans and then dives off, driving his elbow into the heart of Cobra. Dubois then gets back to his feet and he places the steel chair besides him and drags Cobra up….

JT:Dubois knows it is going to take something a little special to end this match…..he knows he needs to pull it out of the bag….

PS:And if anyone can do it, it’s this guy right here……….FORTUNE!

JT:BOA CONSTRICTOR!

Dubois lifts Cobra up into the air for the “go flasher” but Cobra drops off the back and immediately hooks his foe into the dragon clutch position before kicking his legs out from under him and lowering him onto the canvass. Dubois is screaming in pain as the fans in the arena rise to their feet…

PS:Fight it Dubs…

JT:This is one of the most amazing submission moves I have ever seen…..the pain must be unbearable…

PS:Dubois can last, he is the champion-elect….

Dubois tries to reach out for the ropes but he is so far away and he no chance of moving his body out of the dangerzone. Cobra has the head and neck dragged back to a disgusting angle and Dubois’s screams are getting louder and louder…

PS:Don’t let this chance slip away Jerome….you might not get another…

JT:How the hell is he supposed to survive this….there is no chance…

PS:There’s always a chance…

JT:Not today…

The roars fill the arena as Dubois taps his hand against Cobra’s wrist and the referee immediately signals for the bell to end the contest. “King of the stereo” rips through the speakers and pyros explode from the stage as Cobra releases the submission and has his hand raised in victory.

JT:What a match….what a performance by Cobra, he overcame every damn obstacle they tried to throw at him….it just wasn’t enough…

PS:It’s that damn Steel’s fault…

JT:Geoff Steel did the right thing, he stopped Scorpion from ruining this contest and I am glad of that….this match needed a natural conclusion and that is exactly what it got….Cobra fought back from the brink of defeat and he has submitted Jerome Dubois to retain the AWF Championship…

PS:Miss Jessica is not going to be happy…

JT:I’m sure she is not, but her plan backfired and it is that simple….what you need to ask yourself is this, why is she so determined to ruin every great match on her show?....why does she need to be involved with these competitors?...

PS:She is giving them a huge sense of direction…

JT:She is stealing the spotlight and that is not right….if she cannot separate herself from the business then she shouldn’t be here………….this business with Dubois and Scorpion, it’s not good and it needs to be stopped…

PS:There will be a whole lot of regrouping after this, I promise you that….Dubois, Scorpion and Miss Jessica will not take this result lying down….

JT:I’m sure they will try again….but when they do, they’ll find that man right there in their way…..the AWF Champion, the man at the top of the mountain right now……The Mexican Warrior, Cobra, is standing tall tonight……..

The show goes off air with Cobra standing on the top rope, posing with the championship belt and celebrating with the fans as Jerome Dubois skulks up the rampway looking sorry for himself.
