[AWA, AWO, OCW, WMW, and the WWA’s banners wave in the air.]
Shove me under you again
I can't wait for this to end
Sober, empty in the head
I know I can never win
Why should I have to wait
I'll just look the other way
[GES...Jon Smith...J.D. Hart...Doug Wynkoop...El Tormenta...Terrence
Harris...Johnny Danger...Chris Addiction... All flash across the screen
wearing shits from their respected regions.]
We left this land of shiny lights
I wish I may, I wish I might
When all these dreams have come to end
You wish you were, you're not my friend
I can see you suffocate
I can find no other way
Try to make you saturate
I can be your enemy
Why should I have to wait
I'll just look the other way

Cruiserweight title spins into view and fades out.]
You said you'd love
To see the end
The long hard road
That I have been
When all these dreams have come to end
You wish you were, you're not my friend
Blind eyes shine through
[Flash to “The Silverhawk” Drew Jacobs and finally the Silver Trophy.]
[DeMarco & Benner are at the announce table ready to call the action.]
Frankie DeMarco: Well tonight White Mountain Wrestling has the World's eyes upon us we host the Silverhawk Finals.
Michael Benner: That's correct the cream of cruiserweights from around the WWA are here tonight and the inaugral Drew Jacob's memorial trophy holder will be decided.
Frankie DeMarco: We have the best cruiswerweights from OCW, AWO & AWA here tonight along with some WMW talent in the form of El Tormenta, J.D. Hart & Jon Smith, we can only hope that with the crowd behind them the WMW guys will gte the business done.
Michael Benner: Going to be tough Frankie, looking down these names two stand out for me, Addiction & GES.
Frankie DeMarco: Where's your hometown spirit hombre.
Michael Benner: I'm just saying this isn't gonna be a cakewalk for the WMW guys.
Frankie DeMarco: Never said it would be. I'm just a WMW optimist!
Michael Benner: Don't forget for the second week in a row that the World Champion Shane Steele is competin here in the Mountains.
Frankie DeMarco: The guy squeaked past WMW's own Jimmy Riley last week, this week OCW's top performer Ryan Blasier is the challenger.
Michael Benner: And don't forget the two locked horns at the recent WWA PPV in Amsterdam, both men's first real exposure to the wider WWA audience and on that occasion it was Blasier who prevailed, will he do so tonight and will we have a new Champion?
Frankie DeMarco: We'll find out as the night progresses.
Michael Benner: Due to programming issue's with the TV company up here in the Mountain, three matches have been pre recorded, you'll see those right now. Along with some words from WMW's own El Tormenta.
Frankie DeMarco: Cocksucking TV company only giving us 90 minutes!
Wise words from the WMW's own Merrimack River Champion
"I have never been this focused in my life. I've always been like, 'Hey maybe I'll just take it easy, who cares anyway?' Now, I'm sitting here trying to actually figure out how to beat my opponents. Maybe it's the fact that I'm not a teenager anymore just trying to make money. I'm a twenty-one year old looking to make this my career."
[He sat in the middle of the night, wearing all black. From his t-shirt to his jean shorts, right down to the Reebok sneakers on his feet. His ass is parked on top of the TD Banknorth Garden, formerly the Fleet Center. He is over looking the two mile wide river that runs through the city called the Charles River. The only lights you can see are the reds and yellows located on the top of buildings and towers for planes to avoid.]
"I'm tired of being second place. Being number two has it's benefits, but being number one is all that much better. I have a chance to prove myself worthy of being that top guy with the Silverhawk tournament. Eight men walk into the BankNorth Garden tonight to prove who is the best. Out of all the men in the competition, I'm the best. It's a simple fact, as I've got the best momentum, I've got the best drive and I want it more than anyone else."
[Storm looks down to the ground.]
"Nobody else wants it more than me. Nobody else needs it more than me. Johnny Danger doesn't need it. He doesn't care about this thing, he just cares about his little cult thing he's got going on. Chris Addiction doesn't need to win it, he's already a star. What's a tournament win for him? Terrence Harris doesn't have to win it and if he did he wouldn't gain anything from it. Neither does Doug Wynkoop as he can just get his manager to push for his matches to be made."
[Storm looks back up and to the sky. In the distance, you can make out Logan International Airport by the water.]
"GES isn't going anywhere, he's not important. JD Hart has already started making waves in the tag team division. Jon Smith can be a contender whenever he wants to. But me, I need this. Nobody gives me the credit I deserve. Maybe it's because of who trained me to be a wrestler? Maybe someone just doesn't like me in the offices? If I want my respect and a fair shake at things, I need to win this tournament. And damnit, I will."
[Storm turns around and stands up on the roof.]
"It's time."
2nd round match: GES versus Jon Smith
[GES casually strolling around Jon as the bell rings and GES rests himself against the ropes and makes a yawn sound as Jon Smith looks over at him wondering what is going on. The ref telling GES to start the match as he doesn't move.. Jon moving in and GES pushes back on the ropes and slingshots himself across at Jon and nails him with a Diving Clothesline..

Jon whipping him against the other side.. GES coming back for a spear.. Jon leaping over him and then dropkicks GES over the ropes in the back of the head..]
Benner: Well this match is starting off slow, but it is a good way to start off the first part of the finals tonight at Silverhawk!
DeMarco: It would be more exciting if I were in it...
Benner: You wouldn't last a minute in the ring with either of these men..
DeMarco: yeah I would..
Benner: Natasha Loomer could kick your ass!
[GES pulling himself back up as Jon slides out of the ring and grabs GES and goes to whip him into the steel steps but GES reverses and Smith goes crashing into them as the crowd makes that Oh so realistic.. Oooh sound. GES walks over to Jon as GES puts Smith against the ring post on the outside and runs at the steel steps and slingshots off them and dropkicks Jon Smith in the back making him hit that un forgetting Steel Pole..]
DeMarco: nice use of the ring attire there by GES.. and this is all perfectly.. legal..
Benner: Yeah Legal like your marriage to your sister!
[GES turns back as Jon is back up on his feet but dazed.. GES grabs Jon by the hair and rolls him back into the ring as GES climbs up to the top rope mouthing off at the Smith for a bit. Jon rolling around in the ring for a bit as GES jumps off for a 720 Splash.. but Smith rolls out of the way just in time.. Jon rolls GES over and goes for a quick cover..]

KICK OUT!
DeMarco: GES looking to finish it off early but he's getting a little too confident in that ring...
Benner: Well GES maybe over confidant because he is fighting one of the top men from the mountain and could easily pull out the win.
[Jon looks over at the referee and picks GES up and nails him in the gut a couple of times he then whips GES against the ropes and as GES comes back Jon goes for a Super Kick.. but GES ducks underneath the leg and grabs his ankle.. Jon hopping around goes for a Enzuigiri on GES and clocks him in the side of the face.. GES hits the matt as Jon walks over to the top rope and climbs up..]
Benner: I don't mean to be bias or anything but.. GET UP GES!
DeMarco: That’s not bias?..
[GES getting up on his hands and knee's as Jon is up on the top rope waiting for GES to turn around.. but unexpectedly.. GES turns around runs straight at Jon.. Smith leaps off trying to take GES with a missile drop kick but misses and lands on his feet.. GES running straight at the ropes as He Springboards himself off the ropes and hits a Moonsault in mid air crashing into Jon.. both men are down..]
Benner: What a great move there by GES, changing his mind in mid flight in what move he wants to do..
DeMarco: That’s the mark of true talent right there..
[GES and Jon getting both up at the same time using the ropes to pull themselves up as they exchange blows to the chest, GES gets the better of Jon but quickly gets low blowed to immense boo's from the crowd. Jon grabbing GES who is holding himself and pulls him into the middle of the ring and hits him with a Double Underhook Face Driver.. ]
Benner: WHAT A MOVE!
DeMarco: It's not over till the Benner sings!
[Jon pointing to the top rope as some of the WMW fan's cheer.. GES looks KO'd in the middle of the ring as Jon climbs up to the top and points over at GES and goes for a Frog Splash. BUT GES MOVES!.. Jon hitting the matt as he holds his chest in pain and GES pulls himself up and rebounds off the ropes and hits a Shining Elbow Drop on Jon Smith.]
Benner: It looks like GES maybe advancing to the next part of the finals!
DeMarco: Maybe, Jon Smith could still beat him.
[GES clapping his hands to get the crowd going as he waits for Jon to get back up again. Smith slowly getting up to his feet, GES rebounding off the ropes and hitting Jon with a Running Bronco Buster. As the crowd goes nuts and he drags Jon into the middle of the ring. He stomps on him a bit and then walks over to the ropes casually and leaps up to the top..]
Benner: HERE IT COMES
DeMarco: BENNER SINGING THE SONG!
[Jon getting up to his feet slowly as he turns around GES dives off and flips nailing Jon Smith with a axe kick!]

[Right Said Fred – I’m To Sexy plays. Strobe lights start flickering as the arena goes dark and the music starts to play. JD walks out from behind the curtain wearing a black vest and black pants.]
[JD starts dancing at the top of the ramp way as he strips away the black vest revealing the suspenders that are holding up his pants. He keeps on dancing as the music plays. JD walks down the ramp way stops and poses, holding both arms up and flexing. He then turns around and walks back up the ramp to where he took off his vest and poses some more.

[They stare at each other and lock up once again. JD Hart shoves Doug into the turnbuckle post.]
Benner: An obvious strength advantage for Hart.

Benner: Alls I said…
DeMarco: Who cares shut up!
[Wynkoop starts getting lashed with several forearms, Hart then whips Doug across the ring and he runs after him delivering a body avalanche crushing Doug.

[Doug escapes the tie up and lock on a hammerlock. After holding it for sometime, Hart elbows him in the face. Doug once again grabs his face and gets nailed with a clothesline. Hart pulls him to his feet and whips Doug into the ropes who gets a boot to the face.]

DeMarco: So far nothing can keep Doug down!
[Hart pulls Doug to his feet he ties for the Falcon Slam, but Doug brings JD down with a face buster. Doug shakes his head a little bit to get feeling back in his face as he runs into the ropes and comes flying back to nail JD Hart in the face with a drop kick.]

quickly, then dim again. Once more the thunder comes in again, twice as
loud as before. One, two, three quick flashes of light hit the arena,
before they lights come back on.]
["Don de Dios" by Cartel de Santa plays throughout the arena as the thunder continues rumbling in the background.]
[A man steps out into the aisle way. He wears navy blue trunks with a gray cloud and a lightning bolt on the front, navy blue boots with the same logo on them, and a navy mask with the logo on either side of the head. As he walks quickly down the aisle, he slaps hands with every fan he can reach.]

Benner: El Tormenta is in a bad place.
[Terrence is lifting him up for a shoulder breaker. He's got Tormenta in a bad way, and he's going for a crossface...I think he's trying to cripple El Tormenta.]
DeMarco: So much for your theory on saving it up for this match. Terrence has been in total control. Harris cinching it in, and El Tormenta on the verge of getting the ropes! He makes the ropes! The ref is trying everything he can to pry Harris off!

Benner: And I think Harris just told El Tormenta that he's number one with that middle finger... AND EL TORMENTA RIPPED HIS HEAD OFF WITH THAT CLOTHESLINE!
DeMarco: Didn't just rip his head off -- it just sent him over the ropes to the OUTSIDE! BRING HIM OVER HERE AGAIN!
Benner: WHOOO!!!

Benner: EL TORMENTA ADVANCES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2nd round match: Johnny Danger versus “The Playmaker” Christopher Addiction
Michael Benner: Well it's our first live action match of the night and I can't wait.
Frankie DeMarco: Yeah, Addiction v/s Danger. Let's get it on!
To 'Snake has no Head' by Corrosion of Comformity the mysterious Addiction entered the proceedings with Natasha Loomer introcuing him to the fans. Addcition got a nuted response from the WMW fans. Alongside the AWO star was a young woman dressed provocatively.
Danger entered, but having not supplied the staff with music did so in silence except for the expectant fans about. Again Loomer read out his vitals as he walked to the ring.
Frankie DeMarco: What kind guy comes to a tournament without his music?
Michael Benner: I don't know, maybe he forgot.
Frankie DeMarco: We should have played something by Gwen Stefani as he walked out, next time he'd remember.
Addiction dominated the match, taking it to Danger from the off with several forearms and a headbut. Addiction used facelock variations throughout to trap his opponent before delivering a series of high impact moves, a Vertical Suplex and a Backbreaker followed by a sit out move that dumps Danger on the canvas after connecting with Addictions shoulder on the fall.
"Broke back Mountain" enthused Benner. "Gay Cowboy Flick" a confused DeMarco responded, "No that's what Addiction calls that combo" Benner educated. "Oh" was all DaMarco cared to mutter.
Addiction applied a Camel Clutch into a Sumie Siaki Hall Pull until the referee's count reached five. Cross Face Forearms followed until again the referee called a halt to Addictions attack, this time physically. "This dude is mean." DeMarco stated.
Danger briefly rallies, blocking an attempted Northern Lights Suplex, when he was destined for the turnbuckle as he came down. Danger hit a flurry of quick and varied suplexes before a Michinoku Driver earned him a pinfall for a count of 1 and 3/4's. Danger missed with a Yakuza Kick, Addiction caught him off guard with a _STIFF_ superkick.
"Man Danger is in Danger now chuckled DeMarco. "You catch his radio interview?" asked Benner. "Yeah a forth wheel in a misinformed group, I mean Danny Dodge isn't English" wondered DeMarco, "And even though he's not exactly been hands on, WWA legal eagle Honey Challenor who's been helping the running the place until Dodge returns is from Manhattan" Benner confirmed. "When is Dodge due back?" asked DeMrco. "He aint away just staying away from TV" explained Benner.
After all that Addiction was well and truly in control, though failed to get the crowd behind him. A couple of forearms started the momentum, then a headbutt. A fluid swinging neckbreaker/Cradle swinging neckbreaker combo, earned Addiction a count of 2. Finally a Modified Sit-out Butterfly Driver ended Johnny Dangers night as Addiction was able to pin and progress.
[Winner: Chris Addiction, 4.45. Pinfall following Addiction Kills]
Michael Benner: Addiction meets El Tormenta in the Semi Finals
Frankie DeMarco: And Danger disappears into never will be ambiguity
Semi Final: GES versus “The Luchadorible” J.D.
Michael Benner: The first Semi Final next it’s JD Hart v/s GES!
Frankie Demarco: Hart’s worked his socks off to get this far but will this be a bridge too far for the WMW tag specialist?
Michael Benner: Let’s hope not.
Natasha Loomer: This semi final Silverhawk match is scheduled for one fall, introducing first from The Sunset Strip weighing in at 220 lbs.. “Luchadorible” Jay Dee HAAAAAAARRRRRTTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!
[Right Said Fred – I’m To Sexy, begins to play.)
(Strobe lights start flickering as the arena goes dark and the music starts to play.)
(JD walks out from behind the curtain wearing a black vest and black pants.)
(JD
starts dancing at the top of the ramp way as he strips away the black
vest revealing the suspenders that are holding up his pants. He keeps
on dancing as the music plays.)
(JD
walks down the ramp way stops and poses, holding both arms up and
flexing. He then turns around and walks back up the ramp to where he
took off his vest and poses some more.)
(He
starts walking back down the ramp way this time he un straps the right
side of his suspenders and then un straps the left one.)
(He walks up the stairs and looks around at the fans that are having a mixed reaction to him. He starts dancing again while he enters the ring through the ropes. Still dancing he grabs the waist band of his pants and tears them away from his body revealing his wrestling attire. He begins to dance again to his music while he awaits the ring bell.)
Michael Benner: Certainly looks relaxed no sign of nerves form the former WMW Tag Champion.
Frankie Demarco: Not too overconfident I hope.
Natasha Loomer: And his opponent weighing is at 225 lbs GENETICALLY ENGINEERED SOLLLDDIIIIEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!
["Time" by Joe Satriani plays as GES makes his way to the ring with Natasha & Samantha Morrow in toe, he ignores the crowd and enters the ring.]
Michael Benner: This guy’s all business.
Frankie Demarco: All business and no personality that’s for sure.
*Ding, Ding*
[The two circle.]
Michael Benner: Business wins wrestling matches personality doesn't.
Frankie Demarco: Personality sells more shirts and fills your wallet.
[GES charges in Hart ducks the running clothesline from GES. Hart grabs GES around his waist going for a German Suplex, GES gets his leg hooked around Hart’s and Hart can’t Suplex him. GES throws a right elbow into the right eye socket of Hart who releases the hold. GES traps both of Hart’s arms behind him; he lifts him up in the air holding on to a double Chicken Wing Stretch. GES tosses Hart face first into the corner, he bounces out and GES traps both of his arms behind Hart again and hits a neck cracking double arm Chicken Wing Suplex.]
Michael Benner: Big time early move there by GES.
Frankie Demarco: Yeah there's a time limit so we'll skip the feeling out period.
[GES in with a couple of stomps until Hart rolls to the ropes, referee calls GES off. GES backs off as Hart gets back to his feet. GES looking to re-seize the advantage gets stopped in his tracks by a Back Flip drop kick that staggers him but GES doesn't go down, instead this merely seems to fire GES up as when Hart begins to get back up GES Kakuza kicks him in the face.]
Michael Benner: Whoah! GES certainly connected right there.
Frankie Demarco: You don't need to tell me that Hart seeing stars!

Michael Benner: Hart quickly make into the match and on the offensive with a mean looking Full Nelson right there.
[Hart from the second turnbuckle lands with a Fist Drop. Hart back to his feet bounces off the ropes, dances like he's in a strip club thrusting his pelvis and delivers a Leg Drop, across the face of GES.]

Frankie Demarco: In coming.
[Hart delivers a baseball slide right to well you know where.]
[Pop!]
Michael Benner: That's Gotta Sting.
[Referee admonishes Hart for his effort, Hart nods, clutches his own crotch area and plays up to the fans who respond. On the outside the Morrow's are remonstrating with the referee.]
Frankie Demarco: Well it's certainly enraged the Morrow girls.
[Hart pulls GES back to his feet and hits a Butterfly Suplex, Hart back to his feet quickly starts to bring GES up with him but GES drives a couple of fists into the guts and ribs stunning Hart, GES with a chop staggers Hart.

[JD Hart goes upstairs.]
Frankie Demarco: Dominence means nothing without a result.

*Ding, Ding*
Michael Benner: Stolen, officially.
Natasha Loomer: The winner of this Semi Final and advancing to the final GENETICALLY ENGINEERED SOLLLDDIIIIEEERRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!
[GES is assisted out the ring and up the ramp by the Morrow’s as JD Hart is crestfallen as he leaves.]
Frankie Demarco: Hart had made all the running in this match then out of nowhere one mistake and GES capitalized.
Michael Benner: Gutted for the WMW tag specialists.
Semi Final: El Tormenta versus “The Playmaker” Christopher Addiction
Michael Benner: It’s time for the second semi-final, and I’m hearing something worrying on the radio from backstage.
Frankie DeMarco: What’s that?
Michael Benner: Apparently it’s seems as though Chris Addiction didn’t realize he had more than one match tonight, he was almost out of the arena when security stopped him.
Frankie DeMarco: So he thinks he needs to win the first round match and the first round match only to have done a good nights work here?
Michael Benner: Seemingly.
Frankie DeMarco: Dumb ass.
Michael Benner: Thankfully our security were able to
Frankie DeMarco: Should have let him walk that way we’d be guaranteed a WMW guy in the final and El Tormenta would be fresh as a daisy compared to Hart.
Michael Benner: You don’t seem to have a great deal of faith in El Tormenta judging by those comments.
Frankie DeMarco: Yes I do. But with Hart going out to GES after an awesome effort from the tag team specialist WMW need a guy in the final, someone the fans of the Mountain can get behind.
Michael Benner: Well if Addiction thought he only had one match tonight it stands a chance he won’t have the WMW's Merrimack River Champion scouted so I'd say it's advantage Ryan Storm, already.
Frankie DeMarco: We'll see, sometimes from adversity comes inspiration.
Natasha Loomer: Ladies and Gentlemen the next match is scheduled for one fall and in the second semi final in the Silverhawk Cruiserweight Tournament the winner will face GES later to night to be crowned champion.
[POP!]
Natasha Loomer: Introducing first "The Playmaker" CHRIS ADDDDIIIICCCTTTIIIOOONNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!
[Cue: 'Snake has no Head' by Corrosion of Comformity]
[After the dreary, dreadful opening beats, the athlete formerly known
as Bones shows his face for the first time in a long time.]
[He makes his way down the aisleway, wearing a pair of simple, black
knee-length basketball shorts with a small, white skull and crossbones
emblem placed near the end seam on the left leg. A knee brace on his
right knee. A pair of simple, red kneepads and a pair of black/red high
top Adidas Pretero wrestling sneakers. On his torso, that old, black
hooded sweatshirt with 'BASTARD' in big, bold, yellow lettering, with
the hood pulled to, like a warning or something...]
[Or, maybe like a superhero's logo...or something.]
[At his side, the enticing, yet a bit intimidating Abigail Six. She
wears a pair of tattered, distressed, acid-washed blue jeans and a
black 'wife beater' tank top with the following, emblazoned in
'glitterting' silver block font: BONES IS GONNA KILL YOU.]
[One hell of a warning, I'd say...and it's topped off with a pair of shit-kicking, I'm a badass, black boots.]
[As the two make their way to ringside, Abby gives a fierce eye to a
heckler that wants to see her tits and The Playmaker stares at the ring
before him from underneath his shroud.]
[At ringside, the two enter the squared circle and take their position
at the far corner. Christopher removes his hoodie, revealing the
massive amounts of inkage and the ladies swoon...They like the
mysterious, I guess.]
[Game on.]
Frankie DeMarco: Certainly the mysterious and troubled competitor.
Michael Benner: Yeah, somewhat of an enigmatic performer.
Natasha Loomer: The second competitor from Cancun, Mexico... weighing in at eighty-four and eight-tenths kilograms, this is EEEEELLLLLLL TTTTOOORRRRMMMEEENNNTTTAAA!!!
[The lights dim as the sound of thunder rolls through the arena. A few seconds later, the lights flicker twice quickly, then dim again. Once more the thunder comes in again, twice as loud as before. One, two, three quick flashes of light hit the arena, before they lights come back on.]
["Don de Dios" by Cartel de Santa plays throughout the arena as the thunder continues rumbling in the background.]
[A man steps out into the aisle way. He wears navy blue trunks with a gray cloud and a lightning bolt on the front, navy blue boots with the same logo on them, and a navy mask with the logo on either side of the head. As he walks quickly down the aisle, he slaps hands with every fan he can reach.]
[El Tormenta hops up onto the apron. He turns to the crowd and raises both arms high in the air. Turning back around, he hops onto the second rope by the corner, then over the top rope. He lands on the inside on the middle rope, then moonsaults and lands on his feet. The crowd cheers as his music fades out.]
Frankie DeMarco: Tormenta certainly has the crowd behind him here tonight.
Michael Benner: Understandable he's one of their own and we saw how focused he was earlier tonight, claiming that he needed a win in this tournament more than any of the other guys.
*Ding, Ding*
[Tormenta circles the lankier, larger Addiction, Tormenta looks for the tie up but only gets a face full of heavy Addiction forearms, Tormenta stunned gets caught by a European Uppercut and then a head but, which sends him down, Addiction comes in but Tormenta is quick as a cat and takes Addiction over with a drop toe hold, Tormenta attempts to apply a knee bar but Addiction is quickly to the ropes, referee calls for the break and gets it.]
Michael Benner: Early show of aggression from Addiction, quickly neutered by the wily speed Tormenta.
[Addiction pulls himself back to a vertical base, Tormenta backing off allows him to do so. Tormenta circles Addiction, but this time doesn't come in for the tie up, Addiction attempts to back Tormenta into a corner, but Tormenta ducks out of the way.]
Frankie DeMarco: Well Tormenta is certainly more edgy about making the same mistake he did just a few moments ago.
Michael Benner: Who can blame him. I guess he's just trying to buy some time to see how to gain an advantage here.
[Addiction frustrated calls Tormenta to tie up, Tormenta continues his circular motion around the perimeter of the ring.]
Frankie DeMarco: Interesting psychology going on here, Addiction wants a full on fight, Tormenta doesn't.
Michael Benner: Well Tormenta is outweighed by some 35 lbs and Addiction wasn't exactly gentlemanly at the start of this match.
[Addiction finally charges in but Tormenta ducks out of the way and delivers a spinning kick to the back of Addiction, Addiction stunned, Tormenta quickly hits a Double Knee Backbreaker.]
Frankie DeMarco: LUNGBLOWER!
[POP!]
Michael Benner: Out of nowhere
[..One..]
Frankie DeMarco: Shoulder up!
[Tormenta is quickly back to his feet stomping Addiction, Tormenta pulls Addiction back up , whips Addiction to the ropes, Addiction off the ropes into a Japanese Armdrag, both men rise Addiction comes after Tormenta, gets taken over with another Armdrag the two rise again, Tormenta lands with a dropkick to the face that sends Addiction teetering backwards over the top rope.]
Michael Benner: That Lungblower certainly got Tormenta going in the cagey opening to this match, and he's managed to send Addiction to the outside.
Frankie DeMarco: Remember that this match has a 20 minute time limit these guys can't hand around.
[Addiction on the outside is assisted back to his feet by the slutty looking Abigail Six, Tormenta looks to follow Addiction to the outside but gets ordered not to by the referee, Tormenta paces like a caged tiger awaiting Addictions return to the ring.]
Michael Benner: Whaddya make of this young woman who's ringside with Addiction?
Frankie DeMarco: I'd do it, but I'm not fussy.
[Addiction slides back in carefully, referee not allowing Tormenta to attack while Addiction enters. The two circle again, this time Addiction shapes to tie up Tormenta does so, some pushing a shoving before Addiction delivers a couple of knee's the first lands in Tormenta's gut the second the chin.]
Michael Benner: Thai clinch there by Addiction.
[Addiction locks on a Front face lock and quickly hits a Gutbuster, Addiction ceases further control, lifting Tormenta up with kneeling Firemans carry before dropping Tormenta over his knee. Addiction pulls Tormenta up an puts him in a double underhook position, Tormeta escapes grabbing the ankles of Addiction and taking him off his feet with a double leg pick up, Tormenta dumps Addiction on the canvas and follows up with several stomps to the face and chest.]
Frankie DeMarco: Addiction seemed to be grabbing control right there but Tormenta escaped.
Michael Benner: Addiction perhaps wary of the time limit on this match attempting to run before he can walk I'd say.
[Tormenta's stomp fest continues until he draw Addiction back to a vertical base, Tormenta with a boot to the gut hit's Addiction with a Single Arm DDT.
Frankie DeMarco: Addiction's forehead meets canvas hard.
[Tormenta quickly back up, bounces off the bottom rope and lands with a Springboard Guillotine Legdrop across the face of Addiction.]
Michael Benner: Second pin attempt by Tormenta.
[..One..]
Frankie DeMarco: Addiction kicks out.
[Tormenta is back up quickly tugging Addiction with him, Tormenta looks for an irish whip but it's reversed, Tormenta rebounds off the ropes and connects with a Flyin Cross Body block sending Addiction down.]
Michael Benner: Both men having really difficulty asserting themselves on this match, Tormenta's having to hit and run due to the style of his opponent but that's meant that Addiction has been completely unable to assert himself on this match.
[Tormenta back to his feet delvers a stomp to Addiction before pulling Addiction back to his feet, Tormenta looks for a Snap Suplex, but Addiction blocks it and jabs a _STIFF_ thumb into the eye of Tormenta, Tormenta grabs at his face, the referee on the blindside can only guess what happens Addiction shrugs off the question and nails Tormenta with a stinging knife edge chop that staggers Tormenta before Addiction applies and standing Armbar.]
Frankie DeMarco: How did the referee not see that El Tormenta's eye possibly popped out of his ass Addiction's thumb went sooo deep into the socket.
[From the standing position Armbar still applied Addiction forces Tormenta down to the canvas.]
Michael Benner: Addictions body and head were in between the referee and the eye that got jabbed.
[Tormenta looks for a way out of the armbar but can't find one, eventually he slaps the arm trying to keeping the blood flowing. Addiction releases and quickly nails a sharp kick to the ribs, Tormenta is drawn back to his feet as Addiction goes into suplexathon mode the first is a Snap.]
Frankie DeMarco: After that cheap shot the guy from controversy central is beginning to take control.
[Second a stalling Vertical, dropping Tormenta across his knee.]
Michael Benner: High impact low risk move like all that Addiction has used tonight.
[The third and final a Belly-to-belly version.]
[Suplexathon POP!]
Frankie DeMarco: Tormenta certainly has had the wind knocked out of him.
[Addiction covers.]
[..1..]
[..2..]
Michael Benner: El Tormenta kicks out.
[Addiction hauls Tormenta back to his feet a kick is driven into the gut of Tormenta stooping him over, Tormenta's head is stuff in between the legs of Addiction, Tormenta looks for the double leg pick up but gets a couple of axelhandle smash to the back, for a moment Tormenta looks like he's getting a back body drop but another axehandle puts paid to that. Addiction lifts Tormenta up, while elevated Tormenta's lags lock around the neck of Addiction and from nowhere takes Addiction over with a Hurricanrana.]
[POP!]
Frankie DeMarco: El Tormenta can hit a Hurricanrana form just about any position!
[Addiction back to his feet un composed, Tormenta back to his more so. Addiction swings but gets flung over with a Dragon screw arm whip.]
Michael Benner: You can say that again, Addiction looking for the double underhook backbreaker for the second time in this match but Tormenta counters for the second time this match.
[Addiction rises only to get a Dropkick to the kisser tha sends him to the corner. Storm follows in with a couple of rights to the pecker then Monkey Flips Addiction across the ring.]
[POP!]
[Tormenta scampers to the tope rope, leaps...
..Double Stomp to the gut.]
[POP!]
Frankie DeMarco: We've seen this many times in the Mountains!
[Addiction is hauled up whipped to the turnbuckle, Tormenta follows in.]
Michael Benner: Scorpion Splash to the corner!
