Welcome to Gaia! ::

The roar of the crowd in the Gambino gymnasium was deafening as the fans were ready for the first match to get underway. Roselyn Peters walked into the ring and the crowd finally began to quiet down for the matches to begin. “Welcome to the Crimson Icon!” The crowd cheered again and stopped after a little while. “The first match is scheduled for one fall and is a triple threat match. First, making his way to the ring, Bad Boy.”

Polyamorous plays through the speakers as Bad came out to a chorus of boo's, he just smiled eating them up as if they were cheering him even though they were not. He continued down to the ring looking at some of the fans as if he were better then them, which he was. He got on the apron and stepped through the ropes and spun once to throw his arm up in front of the ropes at the camera side of the ring, he looked at the crowd as he waited for his opponents.

Roselyn Peters clapped for a little and then raised the microphone again. “Now, making his way to the ring, he is the ‘Hybrid Shooter’, Chance Praye!”

‘Give it all’ by Rise Against blasts out of the PA system. Out of the curtain appears ‘The Hybrid Shooter’ Chance Praye with his manager Gary Webb. They slowly walk down the aisle as fans reach out to pat Chance on the back. Praye slides under the bottom rope and stands in the ring as Webb briskly walks round to the ring steps and climbs then before slipping between the second and top rope. Praye climbs the turnbuckle as ‘Give it all’ slowly fades out.

Roselyn Peters clapped for a little and then raised the microphone again. “Now for their opponent. He is the ‘Dragon Child’, Talon!” As she finishes, Famous Last Words by My Chemical Romance comes in through the speakers.

Now I know
That I can't make you stay
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your...

And I know
There's nothing I could say
To change that part
To change that part
To change...

As the first two verses finish, Talon does a front flip out of the curtains into the open. He walks forward and points to people while giving faint smiles out as the next verse plays.

So many
Bright lights, they cast a shadow
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete
A life that's so demanding
I get so weak
A love that's so demanding
I can't speak

As he approaches the ring, he closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths to psych himself up. The next verse plays in the meantime.

I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home

He faces the ring and opens his eyes, bursting forward and jumping up to grab the top rope and fling himself in. Once in the ring, he jumps around getting ready for the match while the next verse plays and ends.

Roselyn Peters clapped and then exited the ring while referee Craig Cody stepped in to call the match. The bell rang and not one person moved. For a few minutes, all three competitors just looked at each other trying to anticipate the other. Bad looked from Talon to Chance. Chance looked from Talon to Bad. Talon glanced once at Bad and then stared solely at Chance. Bad saw this and took it as an insult. He charged at Talon, but was met with an STO. Talon quickly got back up and walked over to Chance. The two of them exchanged some inaudible dialogue. Soon, the two of them began to exchange shoves, which quickly escalated into elbows and chops. Talon claimed the upper hand with a knee to the stomach, followed by an elbow to the back of the head, sending Praye to the mat.

Bad now was up and outraged. He dashed forward and delivered as super kick to the back of Talon’s head, sending him into the ropes. Bad rushed forward and started to kick Talon again and again in the stomach. Craig made Bad move away as Talon bent over, holding his now bruised stomach. Bad ran at him again, but this time Talon lowered himself enough to catch Bad and hold him in a fireman carry position. However, he instead threw Bad off of his shoulders and jumped up, landing his knee into Bad’s throat then slamming his head into the mat, thus connecting the FLARE KNEE UPPER. Bad was face down and Talon was about to go for a pin, until he saw that Chance was back on his feet.

Talon stood up and the two approached each other. Talon elbowed Praye, only to get a headbutt causing him to shuffle back. Praye followed up and began to give him still chops to the chest. Talon was now on the ropes as Chance irish whipped him to the opposite side, causing him to go back and forth and get caught in a take down. Once grounded, the Hybrid Shooter mounted Talon and began to punch him ferociously. Talon could only block. Soon, Bad was up and charged in, lifting Chance off and putting him in an abdominal stretch. Talon used the ropes to get up and before anything could happen to cause him a loss, he dashed in and immediately punched Bad, causing the hold to break.

Talon ran to Bad and hit a running knee lift. Once Talon landed, he saw Chance try to kick him, but he caught the kick and gave Praye a dragon screw. Bad was back up though and kicked Talon in the stomach, causing Talon to fall to the ground. Bad continued to kick Talon as Talon attempted to roll out of the way. Unfortunately, Talon ended up at a corner trapped. Bad held the ropes and used them for leverage as he forced his boot hard into Talon’s gut. Referee Craig Cody had to force Bad off, but that revealed a very vile surprise.

When Bad Boy was out of the way, at the exact opposite turnbuckle was Chance Praye, back on his feet. He ran forward and then slid, baseball sliding Talon in his stomach, forcing him to slide back hard into the post. Talon coughed up blood after feeling the impact. Bad turned around and smiled. He walked over and picked Talon up and threw him so he was supported up by the turnbuckle. Bad and Chance began to double team him by kicking Talon in the stomach over and over again, then pulling Talon off of the turnbuckle and giving him a double suplex. Bad immediately ran up the turnbuckle and faced the audience as he dived backwards, landing a MOONSAULT on Talon. He then went for a cover.

1…2…2.25

Chance pulled Bad off, and then went for a pin himself. Bad pulled Chance off immediately and started to punch the Hybrid Shooter. Chance shoved Bad off and started to punch Bad. Bad shoved Chance off and then tackled him. The two of them threw blows back and forth at each other at an even pace. Soon, both Chance and Bad were back to a vertical base and throwing punches at each other. Bad dodged one punch and locked his legs around Chance’s head and threw him over with a hurricarana. Chance quickly recovered and caught Bad Boy in a take down, but Bad quickly recovered as well, and then the two of them locked up again in the middle of the ring.

Talon started to come around and pulled himself up and looked to see what was going on. Talon saw Bad and Praye going blow for blow and took a breather before he jumped into the action. He caught Bad boy by the head and slammed him with a reverse diving DDT. Bad ricocheted off the mat and Talon tried to make it back to his feet, only to get caught by an elbow strike to the face. Talon stumbled back and Praye took the opportunity to put Talon in a sleeperhold. Talon’s strength was draining as he looked around desperately. Just going to the ropes wouldn’t be enough. Talon jumped off of the mat and pushed forward, grabbing Praye’s head in the process. Both went down and Talon nailed a neckbreaker on Praye. Rather than capitalizing though, Talon took the time to recuperate.

All three men were on the ground, but Bad was the only one who was making an attempt at getting up. He looked at how both of them were down and he took the time to catch a few breaths. After catching a few breaths, Talon and Praye were stumbling to their feet, and Bad moved in and started to hit both of them. He threw one fist after the other back and forth, only causing them to stumble slightly before regaining their composure. Soon, Talon blocked his punch and delivered one of his own. Bad was spun around, only to get chopped by Chance. He spun around again, and Talon kneed Bad in the head, causing him to fall.

Talon jumped over Bad Boy and grabbed Praye, sending him down to the mat. He started to drive his knees into Praye’s shoulders, causing him to yell in pain. Once he finished the ultimate knee smash, Talon put Chance into a scarf hold with shoulder lock. Chance flailed around trying to break free in any way. Referee Craig Cody was right there, ready to call for the bell, when Bad Boy dropkicked Talon in the side. Talon rolled over, holding his side as it was close to his bruised stomach, and Bad immediately started to punch the side he was holding again and again until the ref finally got him off. Bad argued with Craig Cody as Talon used the ropes to get back up. Talon was breathing heavy, but stalking Bad as he argued.

Bad was starting to turn around and Talon lunged forward, running as fast as he can. Bad saw this and immediately jumped out of the way. Once he did so, it revealed Praye back on his feet and ready. He ducked down a little and threw Talon over his back, sending Talon to go soaring over the ropes and into the barricade hard. Talon opened his mouth to cry out but spat up even more blood instead. Praye breathed heavy and turned around, getting kicked by Bad and had his head grabbed. Bad went for a DDT, but Praye held the ropes and Bad went to the mat on his own. Chance had a look in his eye and quickly yelled out MAKE HIM HUMBLE!!! He went and applied a camel clutch on Bad, who immediately put his foot on the ropes to escape a seriously bad situation. Chance wouldn’t let go and the ref had to break it up. Chance argued a little, just enough for Bad to get back to his feet. Praye saw that and the two of them squared off in the ring, exchanging blows.

The two of them continued to exchange blows. Bad punched Praye, Praye chopped Bad. Bad elbowed Praye, Praye gave Bad a headbutt, sending him back a little bit. Praye tried to follow it up with a kawada kick, but Bad ducks and kicks Chance in the stomach, causing his to bend over. Bad grabbed Chance and threw his head between his legs with a smirk. He lifted Chance over his head, ready to give him a powerbomb. However, behind them on the turnbuckle was Talon. Talon flipped through the air and landed on Chance’s shoulders, then flipping back and landing a dragonrana. Unsure of what happened, Bad Boy turned around and saw Talon as Talon flipped up and was on Bad’s shoulders, as if to take Chance’s place. Talon then did a handstand on Bad’s shoulders and swung back, throwing Bad into a DRAGON’S EMBRACE. He turned to both his downed opponent’s and put an arm over each of them for a double pin.

1…2…3!!!

Talon coughed some blood up, but wiped it off. He slowly rose to his feet, holding his stomach as Craig Cody rose his hand while Roselyn Peters made the announcement. “And your winner, by double pinfall, is the ‘Dragon Child’, TALON!!!” As Talon heard the announcement, he smiled, feeling great about his first victory.

The Announce speaks”Introducing standing six feet four inches tall, and weighing in at 246 pounds, hailing from Boston, Massachusetts he is "The True Innovator of Violence" Kid Chaos.”

The sound of a ticking clock starts to come over the sound systems then children playing as the Scorpion by Megadeth starts to play over the sound system.. The crowd erupts into cheers hearing Chaos under his old name and coming out to his old music.

My life is everything
That feeds my lust that causes sin
My wants are all I care
No shame and guilt, there's nothing there
Look deep into my face
I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what I can do
Unless you want it done to you, oh-ohhh!

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh

My self I'm centered in
There's nothing else, there's never been
And I dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep into my soul
It's black as coal like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees
There's no defense, you'll do what I please, oh-oh!

Then a figure dressed in a black hooded rob emerges in the crowd, and makes their way down the aisles. This figure is surrounded by four security guards. The figure makes their way to the security rail, and then stands with one on top of it and the other on the bottom of the rail.

BRING THE VIOLENCE!

Yo, pretty ladies around the world
Gotta a weird thing to show you
So tell all the boys and girls
Tell your brother, your sister and your momma too
Were about to go down
And you know just what to do
Wave your hands in the air like you don’t care
Glide by the people as they start to look and stare
Do your dance, Do your dance
Do your dance quick, mom

As the music hits the crowd seems to break into two groups, one cheering Hunter, and another group a loyalist of sorts towards Chaos’s legacy. Boo’s and Cheers make a odd mix of screams.

Hunter bursts out onto stage with a gleam of arrogance glowing off him. He unlike last times mistake, holds a weapon in hand. Hunter held a trash can, its contents not shown. Hunter makes a B line towards the glass infested ring. Hunter quickly cleared the stage as his theme blared, along with his arrogance he shares a feeling of determination. All he needs is this match under his belt and he owns the title of the best hardcore wrestler to step into GWA, hell to step into the island of Gaia.. Hunter glares at Kid who returns that detirmined stair, no kidding around, Kid must, 100% pull out everything he has, he is one point behind and he is not letting this ego maniac beat him out. . Hunter hits the ramp as clang of steel starts below him with every step, the trash can dragging along. Hunter seems to have smartened up to Chaos’s style and realize’s a brutal match like a light tube match is his playground. Hunter quickly moved off the ramp and mad his way past the front side apron to the side farthest from Kid.

As the Announce begins to speak the ring is getting set up with the hundreds fluorescent light tubes that are strapped onto the ropes. The Announce speaks“This is a Fluorescent Light Tube Match in this match any weapon is legal, pin falls only count in the ring, also there are only four ways to win this match. They are the standard Pin fall and submission. As well as knock out or the ref calls the match due to massive blood lose or injury..” After the explanation the announcer returned to his seat away from the ring. The ref looks at both men before calling for the bell.

Chaos uses the second rope to pull him self up to his feet and stares at Hunter. they nod at each other before putting there weapons down. The two men circle each other before locking up.

It held a average size as the fans hit more cheers as the glimmering steel comes into view. Hunter sloppily lifted the ladder up and placed it onto the apron pushing it inside. Hunter stopped to catch his breath, only now taking note to the pain he was going through, his back filled with glass cuts, blood stains on the ring from just laying there. Hunters forehead also busted open, Hunter wiped away the blood from his eye before rolling back into the ring following the ladder. Kid was making his slow return to his feet, a little blinded from the shot as glass had got him above the eye and was bleeding down blinding the eye. Hunter picked up the ladder and tossed it blindly at Kid’s back knocking him back to the ground.

Hunter grunted as Chaos rested on the barricade wiping his eye clean of Blood allowing temporary sight from the eye. hunter jumped down to the apron and took aim at his man wanting to make some impact after having such a move planned. Hunter dodged across the apron diving off, Chaos having his vision dodged out of the way, Hunter catching the barricade and a whiplash. Chaos took the advantage back as he moved to the apron reaching into the ring and grabbing the ladder, pulling it out onto the protective matting. Hunter held his jaw in pain roughly getting to his feet Chaos got a good hold of the ladder using it as a battering ram to send Hunter over the barricade and into the crowd. Security backs the people around as Hunter holds his face feeling his head entering a spitting headache. Chaos set the ladder across from the apron to the barricade, Hunter held his face in pain starting to stagger back to his feet. Chaos jumps onto the apron, wiping his eye clean once again finding that the drying blood was causing the wound to cease the bleeding for the time being. Chaos needed his sight and balance as he started to RUN across the set up ladder, Hunter now to his feet turns just in time to see Chaos make a twist and back flip, Hunter managed to get his hands up in front of his face as he is MOOOOOONNNNNsaulted!! Both men are down as a holy s**t chance starts up switching to a Chaos chant and finally to a GWA chant. Chaos is quick to his feet and neglects to think about pinning The fallen Competitor. Chaos quickly goes to more Painful tactics, maybe the kick out of his finishing move shots in as he needs to do more then a pile driver to end this tonight, and he is right. Chaos tosses up the apron reaching in under grabbing a traditional Table and pulling it out next to the ladder, Quickly setting it up trying to get back to Hunter. Hunter on the other hand has turned himself and is trying to get to his feet, people now feeling that Hunter has some punch behind his words starts to nag him on a bit to get to his feet. Chaos gets the table set up and grabs a few light tubes placing them on it like icing on a cake. Hunter grabs the top of the barricade and is pulling himself up as Chaos moves back into the crowd to retrieve the damaged man. Chaos lets in a hard forearm to the upper back of Hunter trying to keep him down, however, Hunter comes back with a stiff elbow sot knocking Chaos back a bit. Hunter repeats until Chaos falls to one knee, Here Hunter grabs a chair and folds it, smashing it hard against the Innovator of violence’s head. Chaos fell back, Hunter grabbing him and dragging him back to his feet, Hunter Smirked but winched in pain quickly after as he Grabbed Chaos around the waist and looked back taking aim, with a deep breath and a little bit of questioning in his remaining power, Hunter pulled back, and hard.. BELLY TO BELLY OVER HEAD INTO THE LADDER.

The ladder somewhat supports the weight but it bends causing a V shape. The fans are up in chants repeating some Holy s**t’s and some Hunter chants this time. Hunter crawled himself over the barricade and laid lump on the ground for a moment catching his breath. Hunter dragged himself basically to the apron going under the ring basically with his legs still showing. Hunter grabbed what he was looking for and pulled it out. Another ladder, a Larger, Bigger, higher, ladder. Hunter pushed it a bit to the side as he went back to a pained Chaos, Pulling him off the ladder and moving him to the table rolling him atop the light tubes laid there. Hunter grabbed the larger ladder once again finally setting it up directly in front of the table, Hunter grabbed his elbow pad that was hanging on and tossed it effortlessly into the crowd. People jumped and pushed to grab it. Hunter started to climb, his elbow drop maneuver set for devastating action. The climb was rocky as effort was being drained just to climb. Kid on the other hand had moved from is sitting area and started to climb the ladder from the other end. Fans cheer as Chaos moved his foot up step by bloody step, with a sloppy hold to the metal. Hunter had noticed and it was now a race to the top. Hunter reached first shortly by Chaos. Hunter sent out a Left hand, Chaos sent back a Right. Hunter moved up a bit as did Chaos, both men where waist up above the ladder!! Hunter sent in a chop, Chaos hit a Head butt, Chop, punch, head butts, elbow, all where tossed back and forth. Chaos started to get the upper hand, head butt after another caused Hunter to wobble, almost falling, gaining a OooOoOo chant from the fans each time Hunter swayed backwards. Chaos grabbed Hunter and pulled him in, he locked him into a suplex position, Chaos pulls up!! Hunter kicks his feet, dropping back down. Chaos sends in a body shot trying once again SUPPPPLLEEEXX? No Hunter did it again!! Hunter laid in a furry of body shots! BUTTERFLY LOCK!! Hunter switched the hold around they stood atop the ladder, Hunter held the lock in, Hunter newly adapted Finisher applied from the top of the ladder!!! Chaos Cried out in utter agony, the ref looking at the man from below, If Chaos taps the match ends here. The ref glancing at the table and the tubes of glass and almost hoped it would, the match would end more mercifully then he knew it would. Chaos was known for sticking through a submission for so long he passed out, Chaos is not the man for tapping, Hunter squeezed hoping to be the man to take Chaos to that limit! The lock, though the name would suggest other wise holds it’s victim in pain, even sucking the blood away from the brain. Blood dripped and splattered on the ground below as Chaos needed a way out of the hold...... Fall!! He could fall the jolt of landing would be enough, Chaos started to sway the ladder, Hunter eyes widened as the legs of the ladder came off and then back down. Hunter seen the plan and quickly let out of the hold, feeling it to be a more, less painful way to end this situation. now out of the hold Chaos sent up a troat thrust, Hunter wobbled again, however, sends back a left causing Chaos to wobble, Hunter moves up just a little more, Chaos looks up and isn’t able to stop the fore coming maneuver, his Chaos gritted his teeth and held hard at the ladder but it is of no use as Hunter dives over Chaos and takes him in a SUN SET FLIP POWERBOMB!!! The table shattered underneath the two men, a puff of white smoke powdering up as both men laid motionless at the base of the ladder.

Drake-“ HOLY ********!! They are dead, plain and simple, they are paralyzed, Dead, mauled, They are Out ******** COLD.”

Claire-“ Get some Medical staff out here, Im sure these two men would love to go at it more, but there is a limit to every match that has far been breached here tonight, These men are going down in history here tonight, Not a single fan will forget this night, hell this is only match TWO.”

The ref is moving wood scraps away from the men as medical assistance are rushing to the ring, there are begs are metical supply with them, and a stretcher for each man, the team intends to threat them as soon as they can. The ref knowing not wise to move them knows that it would most likely they be moved away from the mangled mess. Hunter was pulled by the arms, the man mumbles and grunts hardly able to make a fist as the bloody man stains the matting. the med team gets there and moves the rest of the scraps away, almost out of humor they check for a pulse in Chaos who manages a Grunt and wench of pain as the team lift him onto the stretcher. Hunter took the least of the move and is staggering to his feet, people at his side keeping his balance. Hunter grabs the apron not minding the help, he rolls into the ring and falls to his stomach the team goes to him grabbing a bandage from the bag, wrapping it around Hunters upper arm that seemed to be hurt. Chaos had his wound above his eyes cleared and his ribs wrapped before they started to move him up the ramp. the fans move to there feet letting out claps of encouragement towards the men in the match, a Chaos/ Sullivan chant started up respectfully. hunter smirked and looked around the ring at the shattered glass and remaining Light tubes... “We...we’re... we’re.. Not done..... stop it.. Le..t..le..t us fi..n.ish.” Chaos was half way up the ramp when there started a commotion. A camera gets into the scene of the medical team and Chaos. Chaos is murmuring and causing a hassle towards the team. hunter got to his feet in a stagger and a daze as Chaos rolls off the Stretcher, the camera man old picked up the slurred words of “We’re... Not... fi...n... “ the fans are to there feet, Chaos is to his, and HE IS HEADING BACK TO THE RING!! Hunter and waiting, chaos is entering the ring, BOTH MEN START SENDING FISTS INTO EACH OTHERS FACE!!!


Hunter sends in a left hand, Chaos a right, Hunter a right, Chaos a right, Left, right, right left, left. Fans can’t control themselves as the men rip violently into each other. Hunter Grabs Chaos’s arm and whips him to the other side of the ring, but the man counters switching things as Hunter was sent back first into shattering tubes of light, Chaos follows up, running and Hitting a clothesline! Both men topple out of the ring with the move. The two men tumble as there weak and battered bodies hit into a second wind. Chaos starts smashing in right hands before getting back to his feet staggering with a limp to the barricade and calling for a chair from a fan. Chaos is cut off as soon as he gets the chair as Hunter knocks chaos with a forearm. Chaos staggers as Hunter grips the mans hair and pulls him to the steel step, pulling the man up and smashing him down onto them. A loud bang is heard as Hunter reach’s back up and does it once more. Chaos staggers back falling into the steel barricade, his body is far from healed. Hunter grabs Chaos and pulls him along the barricade finding a fair distance from the Steel steps before grabbing chaos’s arm and whipping him forward, but it is all for not as Chaos counters Turning the move around, Hunter is sent low and smash’s into the steel steps shoulder first, the bandaged arm acts up as Hunter kicks and screams feeling the arm pain at him. Chaos falls to one knee for a second grabbing his breath before rolling into the ring. Hunter moves slowly to his feet following his opponent. Chaos takes the last of the light tubes that where hanging on the ropes and charges Hunter. Chaos Swings but hunter ducks under in a sprint, charging into the ropes and bouncing back off them heading back to chaos. Chaos turns as Hunter goes low for a seemingly Spear and leap frogs over him. Hunter hits the ropes and Stops turning around to see Chaos smash the tubes off his shoulder. Chaos seems to be hitting on the arm that was seemingly hurt during the fall from the ladder. Chaos smirks as Hunter reacts in pain. Chaos quickly grabs the arm and tosses Hunter into the ropes, Hunter hurt counters the move sending in Chaos instead. Chaos bounce’s off the ropes as Hunter drops to the mat, Chaos jumps over. Hunter shifts ready for a Monkey flip, coking the legs. Chaos stops in time Grabbing the legs and moving to the waist pulling him up and un-curled. Chaos lifts him up to his feet with much effort, now having him in a standing waist lock! Hunter quickly breaks turning around now into his own waist lock. Chaos fights it and manages to break the hand grasp, moving behind Hunter into hammer lock! Hunter quickly drops and Snapmare’s Chaos forward. Hunter follows up grabbing the man into a half nelson when he did it. Hunter pulls Chaos to his feet still in the half nelson! Hunter bends and... HALF NELSON SUPLEX!! Chaos lands a little awkward on his neck as the move was pulled off nicely.

Chaos hold his neck as Hunter grabs him by the arm and rolls him over pulling him towards the turnbuckle. Hunter sets the man up in the corner sitting down dazed. Hunter grabs a bundle of Light tubes off the apron and places them in Chaos’s face. “Chaos, this is what I think of your.. Hardcore legacy...” Hunter moved to the parallel corner, and got ready to sprint, Hunter launched himself running towards a dazed Kid...VIPPPPPAAAAAA SNNNAAAAPPAA!!
Hunter stolen moved Smashed into Chaos’s Face, and the light tubes! The fans boo as it was a clear insult to the Raymond kage name. Hunter quickly grabbed Chaos and moved him to the center of the ring covering for a pin. 1....2.....thr..NO Chaos tossed a arm up into the air with a half assed shoulder up. the fans cheer, wanting to see nothing come of that Viper snap move. Chaos’s face wound is re opened as he starts to pour onto the mat Hunter smashes his fist down on the matt in utter frustration!

Hunter got to his feet and exited the ring looking a lil determined as he got handed a chair by a fan on request, 2 in fact. Hunter quickly returned to the ring sliding the two black chairs in before hand. Chaos is stirring a tad as Hunter sets up a chair into the space between the 3rd and second, putting the second between the second and first. things looked a little odd as Hunter turned around returning to Chaos, Chaos was to his knees when hunter pulled him fully to his feet delivering a stinging Chop. Hunter wanted to get things over with, and if a Viper snap wasn’t going to work he knew that only one other thing could. This is his last moment desperation move, and if this doesn’t work, he really doesn’t have anything left to do. Hunter kneed the swaying Chaos causing him to double over. Hunter grabbed the man by the helm of his pants and charged towards the set up chairs. Hunter sent him in with a Sicking smack against the steel chair, casing a bend and pushing it out of place, and to the matting outside. Chaos’s blood litters over the turnbuckle as Hunter pulls him out and pushes him back on to the turnbuckle, this is it, all or nothing.. Hunter lifted chaos onto the top of the turnbuckle into a sitting position, Chaos dazed doesn’t fight back, Hunter climbs up with Chaos hooking him into a suplex stance. Hunter moves to the top rope, pulling Chaos up. Chaos is positioned correctly as Hunter prepare’s his sickest maneuver for the end of the match. The fans feel a suplex coming up but there tune soon changes as Hunter pulls up and stalls for a moment.... couldn’t be.... TOP ROPE CRUMBLER!!
Hunter had Stalled for a moment before dropping under himself hitting the brainbuster DDT!! The very move could paralyze is landed incorrectly, the slightest slip and the move would end the match in tragedy, Reason enough why Hunter has never truly attempted the move in a match. The fans move into a clap, some into worry as Chaos was without movement. Hunter smirks as he lays on his back starfishes. He neglects to move before rolling over feeling he had this match in the bag, no way Chaos was kicking out of that. Hunter tossed a arm over Chaos as the ref dived in with the count, the fans Chanted with him, 1....2....Threeeee D..wait NO CHAOS SHOT HIS ARM INTO THE AIR! Hunter smirks not noticing the arm having his eyes closed feeling happy, feeling victory. “TWO COUNT.” The words shot Hunters eyes open, the Holy s**t’s, the Chaos chants, the five star chant, was not for his victory. Chaos’s arm flop back down as Hunter staggers in shock back to his feet! How.. How is he supposed to win? How is supposed to keep this man down! How, how how how how how how. Hunter started ripping at his hair. “No, No, No.” Hunter looks every which way, light tubes, Chairs, ladder, what can he do... Chaos is stilll motionless as Hunter gets to his feet, hunter grabs Chaos and lift him to his feet, Hunter is panicking.

Hunter grabs Chaos and pulls him back into the corner, the man dazed, blurry eyed and seemingly out of it. Hunter scurries to the other side of the ring turning quickly, He dives Forward towards chaos with a attempted spear... DROP TOE HOLD! Chaos drops Hunter into the First buckle and into the chair he had placed there. The thawp knocks the Chair out of place and awkwardly onto the apron. Chaos is still barely awake as he grabs the ropes attempting to pull himself to his feet. Hunter pushes himself from the Corner hold his now more intensely bleeding face. Hunter manages to get to his feet as Chaos is greatly wounded. Hunter staggers around fore grabbing Kid and pulling him to his feet and whipping him across the ring with a whip, Hunter had to do something and quick, Hunter moved to the center of the ring as Chaos rebounds and head straight into Hunters Grasp, ROLLING SPIN- DDT!! Chaos counters once again out of nowhere! Hunter is down holding his head as the Hardcore icon in Kid Chaos gets to his feet with a smirk the fans Chanting him on. Chaos staggers before falling into the ropes using them to get his bearings. Kid seemingly has Regained himself as much as his body will allow, He limps and stagger towards the downed Hunter. Hunter was trying to get back to his feet as Chaos pulls him up In a short of Dangerous aid. Hunter staggers back into the ropes soon getting sharply chopped. Blood on Hunters chest flings off as Chaos does it once more. Chaos walks backwards a tad before kicking up and nailing a hard toe kick. Hunter falls back between the second and third ropes. Hunter lands of the apron holding the ropes. Chaos moves out of the ring Grabbing the chair that he had Smashed into before, tossing it back into the ring, also Pushing the chair Hunter had been dropped into back into the ring. Hunter was getting to his feet when Chaos grabs a Light tube and smashes it across Hunters shin once he was so far to his feet. Hunter feel to his knee in pain. Chaos grabs a bundle of light tubes and pushes them into the ring after the Chairs. after this odd action Chaos quickly got up on the apron Sending in a right hand to daze the hurt man. Chaos pulls Hunter between his legs and does the duel Cut throat taunt! The fans burst into cheers as the fans expected the pilediver!! NO BACK BODY DROP! Hunter pulled up and over sending the man to the apron! Hunter fell sidewards into the ropes falling back into the ring. Chaos fell to the out side. Hunter laid out of it for about 2 seconds before finally pushing himself to his feet. He almost had the match tossed to the gutter, all hope to win draining along with his blood , maybe he could do it again, the Crumbler, but with more impact.. Hunter looked in front of him and glared at the two chairs and Light tubes, a half a** smile reaches his face. Hunter grabbed the chair closest and set it up in front of the turnbuckle, grabbing the other and setting it a few inches away parallel to it. Hunter grabs the light tubes and places them across the chairs. Hunter turned back to Chaos who had now rolled back into the ring.

Hunter went at him pulling him to his feet and dragging him over to his contraption. Chaos is staggering along as Hunter knocks him into the corner with anger and a European uppercut. Chaos was chopped once before a Anger Hunter lifted him up atop the turnbuckle again! Hunter climbs up after him he has his mind set to do it again, Hunter hooks Choas Quickly his mind almost deranged right now, Chaos kicking out seems to be holding some mental strain, maybe its all the blood loss, But Hunter isn’t ever caring to hold the move correctly, Hunter LI...BODY SHOT, body shot, body shot, Hunter staggers! Chaos moves to his feet atop the turnbuckle as Hunter falls back to the second rope after a fury of body shots. Hunters head is Stuck between Chaos’s legs, Chaos flips him up right as he jumps off the turnbuckle!!! ROOOOXXXBUURRRRYY BOMMMMBB!!! The Chairs break, the glass shatters as Chaos holds Hunter in a pin. ONNNNNEE....TWOOOOO....THREEEEE

The ref Calls for the bell as the gruesome match is finally OVER. Hunter is out as the medical team that had come to ring side earlier, take there chance and get into the ring the stretchers are ready as Chaos theme music is played through out the arena! The fans are up in GWA chants as both Hunter Sullivan and Kid Chaos are checked on and brought out of the ring, one at a time, the Ref raise’s Chaos’s limp arm before the team removes the two from the ring. This is match TWO, it is now 1/1 in the score as Both Men now move onto there last bout.... if they can.

A bright light flashes over the arena three times along with the beat of the drums as a verse from "Hatred" kicks in, the lighting slowly fading afterwards to an ice blue glow around the ring and the entrance aisle. Some crowd members begin to boo, others cheering instead and pounding the barrier or clapping slowly along with the beat.

I crush your bones
I kill your face
I rip your flesh
I AM THE CHASE!

You meet with terror
You draw the ace
I rule the world
The rats that race

Muahahaha...

As Eric Adams' sinister laugh fades into the background, the crowd is met with silence for a few short moments. The silence is then shattered by a thrash riff, strobe lights rapidly flashing over the entrance aisle as it continues. Fans generally meet this opening with boos, but some loyal fans to the Samoan begin to rapidly pound the barriers as they try to keep tempo with the riff, a few banging their heads as the song calms down for one brief second...

Only to explode again with fury and the first verse as Dar throws open the curtains, walking out into the aisle as the crowd's reactions intensify once again, showing their admiration or disrespect towards the Samoan. Dar doesn't seem to care much either way, slowly flexing his fingers into fists and back out again as he observes the arena, then calmly starts to make his way down to the ring, signature white trenchcoat flicking around his legs.

I have come to unfold your mind
In my veins runs the poison wild
In the streams of mountains, I flow

The Samoan knocks away the hands of those who try to lean over the rail to pat him on the back, but doesn't seem too bothered by it, as if he doesn't even care what these peons do. Standing at the end of the aisle, he looks up into the ring for a few moments, then walks around towards the other side of the ring, climbing up the steel steps there and walking across the apron to glance out over the crowd for a moment or two.

I have opened the doors for unleashed and endless hate
It will burn like the raging green flames
Inside a man dwells secrets so cold

At the beginning of the chorus, Dar turns and steps through the middle and top rope, walking into the middle of the ring and standing there for a few moments before reaching down to pull the metal clasp apart at his waist, shrugging his shoulders back to let the trenchcoat fall off his arms before he grabs it and tosses it out of the ring to an official.

Through the dreadful storms, across the frozen oceans
I have come from the dark lands with sorrow in my hands
The firewind rages in the sky...
And my luminous sword hungers for more
I will leave no one alive!

FOR I AM THE SLAYER OF LIGHT!

Walking over to his corner from there, Dar climbs up onto the middle turnbuckle, looking over the crowd again for a few moments before reaching down to grab the hem of his shirt, pulling it up over his head and throwing it over at another official before pointing out towards the entrance curtain or his opponent (without turning toward them) before bringing his hand back and drawing his thumb across his throat, flexing menacingly afterwards.

I...I will break your will
I...I will crush your fate
I...I will slay your dreams
I will reclaim the stars...

AND I WILL TEAR YOUR PRECIOUS WORLD APART!!!

Dar then hops down from the turnbuckle, turning around to face the ring and leaning back against the corner as the lights come back and the last furious scream fades out.

The lights suddenly dim down as the opening guitar intro to "Lose Control" pick ups and smoke shoots from near the entrance way. A figure in a navy blue shiny long jacket emerges, standing while looking at the fans as he stands in the shadows. The figure emerges as strobe lights go off to reveal....CODY BOGARD!!!!! Cody makes his way to the ring with Sofia.

I can't stop- can't stop thinking
About you at all I called you up
to come on round tonight
You wouldn't give a straight answer
But you wouldn't say no
Even though you're going with him

Here comes the night
Lead me on
In your veins
Warm inside
Heart beats fast
Lights are low
I want you
Let it go

Cody makes his way over to the ring, springing up to the ring apron, climbing the turnbuckle and posing with his arms open in a pose.

You arrive with cool in your eyes
And explain to me
How he makes you feel inside
So safe, secure
Later on as the night is falling
You bring me on with violent words
Desire and being young

Here comes the night
Lead me on
In your veins
Warm inside
Heart beats fast
Lights are low
I want you
Let it go

Cody jumps from the turnbuckle as he looks at his opponent.

Here comes the night- it is coming on
The lights are low and our records on
Inside your veins and you lead me on
Here comes the night- it is coming on

DING!!! DING!!! DING!!!

Both men approach each other in the center of the ring, Cody looking up right at Dar, almost feeling dwarfed by the Samoan Death Tank, but not letting that fact affect him. Bogard goes for an opening jumping forearm to the head, but gets swatted back down by Grays. As soon as Cody rolls off the mat, he charges back towards Dar, only to receive an elbow strike to the side of the head, halting progress. Taking the early advantage, Grays wraps his arms around Cody’s head in a side headlock, giving his head a wrench followed by a flurry of punches to the head. The Apostles’ Assassin leans his body to the ropes, pulling the Burning Avenger up and shooting him to the opposite ropes, catching him on the rebound with a running Kitchen Sink to the abdomen, sending him flying over his knee to the mat. The Burning Avenger rolls into a seated position, holding his ribs, not seeing Dar sneaking behind him and striking him in the back with a hard kick. Not letting up, Dar pulls Cody by his hair to his feet, lifting him up and dropping him over his knee with a gutbuster. The Samoan Death Tank wraps his hands around Bogard’s neck as he lifts him up, but Cody manages to get his head right under Dar’s chin, throwing his arms over his head and falling into a jawbreaker. Once getting the big man stunned, Bogard fires off as many punches to the stomach as he could, only for Grays to throw a side knee to the gut to halt him, lifting him onto his shoulders and falling backwards with a Samoan Drop, hooking the leg immediately for the pin…

1… 2…

The King of Hearts kicks out of the pin, while Dar rolls to face him and begins choking him on the mat. Referee Peter London starts his count, as Grays lets go just as London reaches four, pulling Cody’s head up slightly and slamming it back down on the mat. Bogard turns onto his stomach and looks up toward Dar, trying to climb up his leg as the Apostles’ Assassin helps him up and throws his arms around Bogard for an Exploder Suplex, but the Burning Avenger counters with an elbow to the head. Cody continues to fire off elbows to the side of the head, which makes Darson to release his hold, and leaves himself open to a dropkick by Cody. However, Grays remains standing from the kick, forcing Cody to fire off a series of kicks to the abdomen and a high spinning wheel kick that just manages to catch Dar’s chin. Grays rises up nearly immediately from the mat, ducking Bogard’s attempt at a leg lariat kick to the chest, Grays wrapping his arms around behind Bogard’s waist but Cody shifts behind Dar instead, dropping down and tripping him from behind. As the Archetypical Assassin plants his hands and knees on the mat to rise, the King of Hearts leaps up on his back with a double foot stomp from behind. Using him as a springboard to hop over in front of him, Bogard spins to face Darson and strikes him with a front dropkick to the face. Cody reaches down to grab hold of the Samoan’s arm, stepping over and going into a La Magistral cradle, rolling over for the pin attempt…

1… 2…

Grays kicks out the moment London’s hand hits the mat. Cody rolls himself up and reaches over at Dar’s hand, leading him over to the ropes with some forearm strikes, whipping him across the ropes and charges at him with a diving cross chop, but Grays leans just enough to catch Cody’s body and slam him to the mat with a snap powerslam. The Samoan Death Tank keeps the hold locked on as he begins to pull himself up while still holding Bogard, throwing himself down on top of the King of Hearts with another powerslam. The Apostles’ Assassin pushes himself up to his feet, quickly getting in a stomp on Cody before crashing on top of him with all of his bodyweight with a senton splash. Darson stands at his feet, beginning to wind up his arms in a circle, awaiting for Bogard to rise, charging straight at him the moment he stands with a Charing Elb-NO! The King of Hearts slips right under the elbow and wraps his arms backwards around Grays’ neck, falling into a sitout hangman’s neckbreaker. Not wasting any time, Bogard grabs Dar’s head and nails him with a flurry of low shin kicks to the face and connecting with a low leg lariat. Looking to have the edge, Cody scrambles over to the apron, stepping over the ropes and stalking Grays, waiting for the right moment to strike. Once witnessing Darson standing up, Cody leaps up to the top rope and dives at the Samoan Death Tank for a springboard hurricarana, but gets caught in mid-flight by Grays, turning the move into a Nodawa Otoshi. The Archetypical Assassin takes hold of the Burning Avenger’s neck, nailing him with a few elbows to the back, Dar hooking Bogard’s arms followed by striking his abdomen a few times, lifting him up and driving him to the mat with a Foldover Tigerbomb, but bypasses the Prawn Hold and goes straight into a half crab submission.

The Samoan Death Tank presses his weight on top of Cody’s back, while wrenching the leg back as far as he can. The King of Hearts lets out a yell of pain, looking at the ropes and Sofia slamming on the mat with concern for her friend and ally, screaming for him to fight. All of a sudden, Darson leans back more and more, pulling the leg even farther back in an attempt to have Cody’s leg meet his head, which forces him to scream in more pain and grabbing his hair with one hand while reaching for the ropes with the other. Sofia leads the crowd into a chant of “Let’s go Cody! *clap clap clapclapclap* Let’s go Cody! *clap clap clapclapclap*” while Bogard inches his way to the ropes, closer and closer. After letting out one more scream due to Dar pulling back as hard as he could, Bogard manages to get his fingers to grasp the ropes, making London attempt to make Grays break the hold. The Samoan refuses to break the hold immediately, looking to get as much pain as he can before London reaches to five, letting go to avoid disqualification. The Apostles’ Assassin takes hold of Bogard’s neck, pulling him up and goes for a quick swinging neckbreaker to stun him, dragging his body to the nearest turnbuckle, and begins his climb to the top. Once reaching the top, Grays dives off for a diving leg drop, but lands on nothing as Bogard manages to roll out of the way at the last moment to avoid damage. The King of Hearts immediately gets behind Grays and flips over him, getting his arms around his neck and connecting with a flipping ace crusher, staying near his legs to grab hold of them and flip his body into a bride pin…

1… 2… T…

Darson kicks out of the bridge, looking nearly insulted that he was being pinned with such a simple move. The Burning Avenger goes for the attack right off the bad as soon as Dar rises back up, going for a dropkick, only for the attack to be blocked. Once Cody rolls back up, Grays sandwiches his head with dual elbow strikes to the head, appearing to stun him. The Samoan Death Tank fires a few elbow strikes to the head, which seem to have little effect on Cody, switching off to a burning elbow smash, which does knock Bogard back, but still standing in defiance. Grays winds up and connects with another burning elbow smash, which still doesn’t knock Cody down, leaving Dar to come charging at him with a Charging Elbow, but Bogard leaps up and reaches up as far as he could with a back brain kick, stunning the Death Tank. Grays remains on his feet but somewhat defenseless, which allows Cody to duck down a nail him with a leaping Shotei uppercut. Even after the previous strikes, Cody still doesn’t take down the Archetypical Assassin, as he now fires off a quick rolling sobat kick to the abdomen to double Dar over and allowing the King of Hearts to tee off the top of his head with a Bionic Elbow. This manages to get Grays to cover the top of his head and dropping to one knee, moving his arms to look for Cody, only to see him dashing in and nailing the Samoan with the Shining Wizard!!! The Burning Avenger rolls his body over Darson for the pin…

1… 2… T- Kickout by Grays

This near fall looked like it actually could've went somewhere, and Cody picks up on that, quickly rolling off of Dar and running to the ropes. As the Samoan gets back up one knee, Cody charges once again, going for a second SHINING WIZARDOOOOOO-NO! Dar sees this one coming, standing up and wrapping his arms around Cody, catching him in a Bear Hug. The Burning Avenger's lungs are emptied immediately, Cody desperately trying to draw in breath as Dar squeezes his torso. Luckily for him, though, Dar doesn't hold onto the move for too long, instead walking over to the corner and slamming Cody back-first into the turnbuckles. The Burning Avenger cringes at the impact, but Dar doesn't give him any time to recover, whipping him across the ring into the opposite corner and cocking his arm to come in with the CHARGING ELBOOOWWWW!!! The strike connects solidly with Cody's face, sending him down to a seated position in the corner, slumped against the ropes. Dar walks back out towards the middle of the ring, crouching down for a moment, then dashes forward, rolling down into the DAI BOSOOOOUUUUU!!! The King of Hearts is hit with all two hundred ninety pounds of Samoan right into his face and torso, knocking the wind out of him once again and leaving him dazed. Dar gets back up to his feet, looking down at Cody as he slumps out of the corner, rolling his neck before reaching down and calmly covering him with a lateral press. "1...2..." Cody kicks out. Dar sits back on his knees, looking a little annoyed with Cody, who begins to try and pull himself up with help of the ropes. In doing so, though, he leaves his entire mid-section open, allowing Dar to stand up and grab the top rope, driving his knee straight into Cody's chest. The Burning Avenger can't get out of the way of the strikes, trapped up between the ropes and Dar, and takes four of the strikes before a fifth finally knocks him clear out through the ropes and onto the floor.

Dar climbs out through the ropes and hops down onto the floor next to Cody, but doesn't pick him up, merely waiting for him to do it himself. This turns out to be a mistake, because as soon as Cody gets up to his knees, he fires off a hard punch into Dar's ribs. This stuns Dar, more out of shock than pain, but Cody follows up on it, swinging up to hit him with another punch in the face. Dar has had enough of this, however, and swings a brutal kick right up into Cody's chest, halting any retaliation. Dar pulls Cody up the rest of the way, then rolls him back into the ring, following him inside and rolling him over for a pin. "1..." Cody kicks out, Dar sitting back up, looking angry at the one count, while the crowd bursts into cheers for the show of DISRESPECT. Cody crawls to the opposite side of the ring and uses the ropes to help himself up, Dar advancing on him like a slasher movie killer, but the Samoan gets hit with another surprise punch to the ribs, following it up with a hard forearm shot to Dar's jaw, but this prompts a flurry from the Samoan, elbows and knees slamming into Cody's face and mid-section as he tries desperately to cover up, only to collapse back against the ropes from the force. Dar pulls Cody out towards the middle of the ring, going to whip him back into a corner, only for Cody to plant his feet and resist it. This gets him a vicious slap across his upper back, Cody dropping down to one knee and crying out. Dar swings his knee into Cody's face, following it up with a kick to his back, sending the King of Hearts down onto all fours, cringing from the brutal strikes. Dar shocks the entire crowd, however, as he jumps up and comes down with a SAMOAN DOUBLE STOMP ONTO CODY'S BACK!!! The Burning Avenger gets crushed down into the mat, the crowd gasping as Dar calmly steps off of Cody, grinning a little, having gotten back at him for Cody performing the same move earlier. Dar rolls Cody's corpse over for a lateral press..."1...2...THR-NO!" Cody manages to get a shoulder up, the crowd letting out a sigh of relief because of it.

Dar isn't happy with that near fall, standing up and grabbing Cody by his hair to pull him back up, turning him around and wrapping his arms around him in a Reverse Waistlock. Cody quickly lowers his base and grabs Dar's arms, trying to pull out of the hold before he can get suplexed, and managing to break out for a standing switch. Rather than trying to pull back Dar into a suplex, however, Cody pushes him forward into the ropes, dropping back into a REVERSE ROLLUP! "1...2...TH-NO!" Dar kicks out, grabbing Cody and pulling him down right into COBRA CLUTCH!!! The Samoan quickly adds on a Body Scissors, Cody having dropped back right into the perfect spot for the submission, now locked in a hold that could end the match. The Burning Avenger flails wildly at first, but then stills, conserving his energy as he begins to lose his oxygen and bloodflow to his head. Slowly, Cody uses his legs to drag himself over towards the ropes, though it's very hard with the Body Scissors applied. The King of Hearts stays true to his name, though, refusing to give up as he rolls over on his side, able to move a little easier this way, only to stall a little ways from the ropes. Cody's eyes are fluttering closed now, his free hand coming down to lay on the mat. After a few moments like this, London quickly moves in to check the hold, lifting Cody's arm up...But Cody keeps it up, swinging his leg out to get the rope break to the crowd's cheers. Dar breaks the hold after another few seconds, angrily pushing himself away from the Burning Avenger and getting back up to his feet, frustrated with the fight he's getting from the much smaller wrestler. Finally, Dar reaches down to drag Cody up to his feet, pushing him into the nearby corner and coming in with an elbow/chop combo, hitting that three times to soften him up before whipping him across the ring into the opposite corner.

As Dar charges in, however, Cody swings out and nails him with a back elbow, quickly turning his back to the corner and pulling himself up onto the second rope, jumping off and swinging his legs up to catch Dar and throw him over with a HURRICANRANA INTO THE TURNBUCKLES!!! The crowd gets up on their feet for that move, knowing that that might just be enough to get Cody back in control, Dar hitting the corner to slide down onto his back, looking dazed. Cody takes a much-needed breather rather than go for the pin, figuring that he's going to have to do more to put down the Samoan Death Tank anyway. With the help of the ropes, Cody gets up to his feet and just waits for Dar to do the same, taking all that time to get his energy back as the Samoan slowly pushes himself up to a vertical base. Before he can quite get his bearings, Cody quickly comes in with a mean forearm smash, knocking Dar back into the corner, where Cody unleashes a flurry of MACHINE GUN SLAPS! "ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORA! ORAAAAAAA!!!" The crowd chants along with Cody as he delivers the strikes, finally ending it with a wind-up slap, stunning Dar quite effectively. Cody grabs his arm and whips him across the ring into the opposite corner, the Burning Avenger charging across the ring to destroy Dar's face with a KENKA KIIIIIIICK!!! Cody has to stretch his leg up to deliver it, but it's obviously effective, as Dar goes down in the corner, slumped back against the ropes. Cody throws one arm up in the air with a cry of victory, Sofia clapping for him and getting the crowd to join in as well. Cody turns his attention back to Dar, pulling him up to his feet and whipping him into the opposite corner once again, this time running forward to hit a FLYING LARIATOOOOO-NO! DAR GRABS HIM OUT OF THE AIR WITH THE NODOWA OTOSHIIIIIIIII!!! The ring shakes from the force of the slam, Cody landing hard on the mat as Dar drops over him and hooks the leg. "1...2...THR-NO! CODY GRABS THE ROPES!"

Dar sits up, staring angrily at Cody's hand, giving the Burning Avenger enough time to roll away out of the ring to the outside, hoping to get some time to recover. Dar quickly gets up to his feet, though, watching Cody as he gets up on the outside to lean against the barrier, fans quickly moving over to pat him on the back and encourage him. Sofia moves to do the same, but has to quickly dive out of the way of the oncoming ELBOW SUICIDAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Cody gets slammed back into the guard rail, fans scattering in every direction to avoid the bending barrier, the Burning Avenger falling over down onto the floor as the crowd boos. Both men take a while to get up after that one, but Dar finally gets up to his feet, dragging Cody back towards the ring and rolling him into it, following in after for a lateral press. "1...2...THR-NO!" Cody gets a shoulder up, having had just enough time on the outside to recover. Dar is pissed now, hauling Cody back up to his feet once again, this time driving a knee right up into his mid-section. The Samoan pulls him into a Standing Head Scissors and wraps his arms across him in a straight jacket position, rolling him up onto one shoulder for the ACHERON BOOOOOOOOOOOO-NOOO!!! Cody rips his arms out of the straight-jacket, pounding his fist down into the top of Dar's head, stunning him long enough for Cody to slide down off his shoulder and land on the ring apron. The King of Hearts quickly turns around and hits Dar with a forearm, but all he gets is a huge Samoan Slap in return, Cody barely able to stay on the apron with the help of a hand on the top rope. Dar runs across the ring, looking to come back with a charging strike, but Cody quickly pulls himself up onto the top rope, jumping off with a SPRINGBOARD DROPKICK! The move connects perfectly, right into Dar's face, sending him crashing down onto the canvas.

Dar rolls over into the corner, sitting up against the turnbuckles and holding his head, trying to shake out the cobwebs. Cody is already back up to his feet, though, and quickly runs forward to nail Dar with a CHARGING DOUBLE KNEEEEEEE!!! Both knees go right into Dar's face, the crowd cheering wildly as he topples out of the corner onto the mat, Cody rolling over and holding his legs for a few moments, paying the price for striking a head as hard as the Samoan's. Cody decides to take a breather rather than go for the pin, waiting for Dar to get up. As the Samoan reaches a vertical base, Cody launches a forearm. Dar responds with an elbow, but Cody fires off another forearm, and the two begin to trade strikes. A three-elbow flurry sends Cody stumbling back a few steps, but Cody suddenly swings up into a Spinning Wheel Kick, hitting Dar right in the face and sending him back down to the canvas. Cody quickly rolls over and hooks the leg. "1...2...TH-NO!" Dar gets a shoulder up. Cody runs a hand up through his hair, then pushes himself up once again, lifting Dar back up to his feet and hitting him with another few forearms to stun him. The Burning Avenger comes off the ropes...RIGHT INTO AN OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX! Cody goes flying across the ring to land hard on his back, Dar quickly running to the perpendicular set of ropes and jumping up for another SENTON! The Samoan doesn't even bother to roll over, just reaching over to hook Cody's leg. "1...2...THR-NO!" Cody manages to get a shoulder up, showing there's still some fight left in him. Dar pulls Cody up to his feet once again, not even bothering to argue this time, whipping him into the ropes and coming off the opposite set with a CHARGING ELBOOOOWWWW-NO! Cody ducks under it, quickly spinning around and hitting Dar with a boot to the gut, grabbing him by his head to straighten him back up and swinging his arm back into the EXCALIBUR SLAAAAAAAASH!!! Dar goes down to the sounds of the crowd's cheers, Cody reaching over to hook the leg. "1...2...THR-NO!" Dar gets a shoulder up.

Cody pulls Dar up once again, this time raising one arm up high for the crowd before reaching down to pull Dar across his back, hooking one leg as the crowd immediately jumps to their feet, watching with awe as the King of Hearts lifts Dar up with a cry of exertion, bringing him up into the SEKIHA TENKYOKEN BUSTAAAAAAHHHHHH-NOOOOO!!! Dar shifts his weight and swings back down onto his feet in front of Cody, bringing his leg up for a hard knee right into Cody's stomach. Cody stumbles back across the ring, but as he straightens up, he finds himself right in the path of a LARIATOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! The Burning Avenger gets turned inside out from the move, flipping over onto his stomach and jerking once before falling still, sprawled out on the mat. Dar rolls him over onto his back, laying over him for the pin. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOO! FOOT ON THE ROPES!!!" Dar, London, and the crowd are all in shock as Cody manages to escape defeat once again with the rope break. The Samoan Death Tank isn't at all happy about this, slapping Cody hard across the face before hauling him up to his feet by his hair, pounding him with a knee to the face before pulling him back into an Implant DDT. Dar swings his leg up from there, however, locking it around Cody's head for the KOJI CLUTCH!!! Cody flails both his arms outward as he finds himself locked in the dangerous sleeper maneuver, but then sees that the ropes are a good three feet away from him. Knowing he can't give up now, the Burning Avenger begins the arduous task of reaching them, slowly dragging himself over towards the ropes, all the while losing bloodflow to his brain. Dar can't really pull Cody away from the ropes, but he continues to tighten the hold as much as he can, trying to force the submission out of him before he can get a rope break. Again, the Burning Avenger falters only a little ways away from the ropes, his hand resting above the mat as he tries to reach out towards them. Sofia gets a "CO-DY! CO-DY!", but it doesn't seem to be helping him any, as his arm finally drops down to the mat.

London moves to check it out, lifting his arm up...and watching it drop down to the mat. The ref lifts his arm again...and it drops down a second time. The crowd is watching nervously now, Dar never loosening the hold as he yells for London to finish it, the ref lifting Cody's arm up the third and final time...BUT IT STAYS UP!!! Cody's eyes open back up as he clenches and unclenches his fist, working to get his body moving again, beginning to pound his hand on the mat slowly. The crowd picks up on it immediately, starting up a slow clap, bringing everyone to their feet as the King of Hearts takes a deep breath and forces himself over the last few inches to grab the ropes! Dar refuses to break the hold, keeping it locked in for another four seconds before finally releasing it with a growl, rolling off of Cody and looking down at his opponent. Dar pounds his fist onto the mat in anger before pushing himself back up to his feet. Dar tauntingly scrapes his boot across Cody's face and head, kicking him lightly, just enough to annoy the Burning Avenger. Finally, as Cody pushes himself up onto all fours, Dar grabs him by the hair and lifts him up the rest of the way, letting go and spinning around for the ROARING BACK EL-NOOOOO!!! Cody ducks under it, spinning around to hit the the URAKEEEEN!!! Dar is barely able to stay up on his feet after that one, turning away from Cody and stumbling back, but the King of Hearts quickly moves forward, locking his hands around Dar's neck with a Sleeper Hold and falling back into the RAGE OF THE DRAGONS!!! The crowd jumps to their feet as Dar gets dropped right on his head with the suplex, cheering wildly and pounding the barriers, a "HOLY s**t!" chant getting started up almost immediately. Dar isn't moving, and Cody doesn't waste the chance for a cover, rolling the Samoan onto his back and hooking his leg. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOO!!!" Dar gets a shoulder up.

Cody rolls off of Dar, slowly sitting up and holding his arms, shaking his head. At first, it seems as though the Burning Avenger isn't sure what to do to put Dar away for good, having wasted most of his energy on that last suplex. However, he suddenly looks towards the corner, a light coming into his eyes as he pulls himself up to his feet with the help of the ropes and climbs out onto the apron, ascending to the top turnbuckle, any crowd members who sat down after that last near fall quickly standing back up. The King of Hearts steadies himself on the top rope, balancing for a moment, then throws himself off with a FROG SPLAAAAAAA-NO!!! Dar rolls out of the way at the last second, Cody landing hard on his stomach. Dar quickly turns to face Cody on all fours, grabbing his head and bashing in his skull with the FIERCE KNEES!!! Four strikes later, Cody is limp in Dar's arms as the Samoan pulls him up to his feet, turning him around to tuck his head under his arm, pulling him back into the DANGEROUS BACKDROPPAAAAAAHHHHH!!! Dar bridges up for the pin. "ONE...TWO...THR-NOOO!!!" Cody kicks out, but Dar hangs on to him, rolling both of them over and up to their feet, Dar letting go of Cody only to elbow him right in the back of the head. Dar pulls him back into the Back Suplex set-up once more, but this time lifts him up, spinning him around into the TODOROKE TEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNKEEEEEENNNN!!! The crowd looks on in horror as Dar pushes Cody onto his back, hooking his leg once more. "ONE...TWO...THREE!!!"

The Samoan rolls off of Cody as the crowd boos, running a hand back through his hair and shaking his head. Finally, he sits up and gets to his feet, looking down at Cody for a few moments, pushing London away distractedly as he goes to raise Dar's hand. Finally, the Samoan turns and exits the ring, looking disturbed despite his win.

Roselyn: "Here is your winner...DARSON GRAYS!!!"

A few officials and Sofia come in to check on Cody, but he's back up in about a minute, sitting up and rubbing the back of his neck. The Burning Avenger looks dejected over his loss, but Sofia helps him up to his feet, and the crowd bursts into cheers of respect for the King of Hearts. Cody looks a little happier at this, nodding as he gets led out of the ring and back up the ramp, shaking hands with a few fans along the way.
