MATCH NUMBER TWO
Pale Rider vs. Josh Konnely
United States Championship

The Pale Rider is on his way to the ring without music when Josh Konnely runs down the ramp behind him and hits him with a clothesline to the back of the head. Josh brings the Rider to his feet and gives him a snap suplex on the ramp before tossing him into the ring. Konnely climbs into the ring and kicks Rider in the ribs as he tries to get up. The referee pulls him away, forcing him to go to his corner and let Rider up.

JC: Those were some serious fireworks to start this matchup.

RW: Both these guys threatened some real physical harm on the other, so obviously there is going to be hostility involved. And the United States Championship is on the line, which drives the intensity straight through the roof!

The Pale Rider gets to his feet and immediately charges Konnely, hitting him with a forearm to the jaw. He whips Josh to the other side as the bell rings to start the match. Rider runs at Konnely and hits him with a dropkick in the corner. Josh drops to the mat clutching his chest, and rolls out of the ring. He waits right up until the count of eight before sliding back in. Rider hits a quick arm drag followed by a clothesline, sending Josh back to his original corner.

JC: Pale Rider has Josh Konnely on the run here!

RW: I'm quite frankly a little bit amazed!

Konnely charges Rider but runs himself right into a drop toe hold. Rider pops up and drops an elbow across Konnely's exposed back, then grabs his leg and smashes his knee into the mat.

JC: A chain wrestling clinic being put on by The Pale Rider right now!

RW: Konnely showing some frustration now, but so far he hasn't been able to do anything about it.

The Pale Rider hits a quick kick to the gut as soon as Konnely gets up, and drives him to the mat with a DDT. As Josh gets up, Pale bounces off the ropes and follows up the DDT with a swinging neckbreaker. He dives into a cover.

Josh kicks out.

Pale Rider stands up and stomps Josh Konnely, maintaining his offensive attack. He sets Konnely in position and pulls him down on his head with a piledriver. Rider sits Konnely up and locks him in a rear chinlock, continuing to work the head and neck. Josh pushes himself up to his feet and drops down with a sitout jawbreaker, breaking Rider's headlock. Rider staggers back and Konnely charges him. Pale Rider reacts quickly, hooking him up and delivering a gargoyle suplex.

JC: Awesome suplex there by Pale Rider!

RW: You almost never see that one anymore. Very well done!

Again Rider runs to the ropes as Konnely gets to his feet, this time attempting an axe kick. Josh pulls back and Pale hits nothing but air. Konnely lifts Rider up on his shoulder for a scoop slam, but Rider drops down behind him and hits a sleeper slam. He goes for another cover.

1...

2...

Konnely rolls a shoulder up.

JC: Somewhat surprisingly, The Pale Rider is dominating here in the early going!

RW: Didn't this guy lose to Mike Zybala a week or two ago?

Rider goes for a clothesline when Konnely gets up, but Josh ducks under and sends Pale to the mat with a back leg sweep. Rider is back up quickly, but Konnely spears him down again, letting fly a series of hard right hands to the head. Josh stands and hits a dropkick when Pale stands up. Rider bounces right back up, and Konnely attempts a clothesline. Rider ducks underneath and grabs a rear waistlock. He tries for a German suplex, but Konnely blocks it and hits an elbow to Pale's temple to break the waistlock. Turning quickly, Josh hits a Northern Lights suplex, bridging for a pin.

1...

2...

Pale Rider gets the shoulder up.

Konnely gets to his feet and begins stomping down right on Pale's face. Rider manages to roll out of the way of a stomp, and uses his arm to sweep out Josh's legs. He goes into a quick lateral press.

1...

Konnely pushes Rider off at one and gets to his feet. Rider delivers a right hand, followed by a knife edge chop and a big boot that puts Josh down on the mat.

JC: Oh my! Pale Rider just kicked Josh Konnely in his black painted face!

RW: Man, that paint is freakin' creepy, man. We've only seen it once or twice before, and I'm quite frankly glad for that.

Konnely rolls to the ropes and uses them to pull himself up. Rider charges him immediately, but Konnely bridges the top rope, sending Pale Rider crashing out to the floor.

JC: Oh God! Pale Rider crashes to the floor right out in front of us!

RW: What a sickening thud!

Josh follows Pale Rider out to the floor as Rider tries to get up. Konnely brings Rider to his feet and delivers a Bad Konduct right out on the floor. 1... Josh rolls over and locks in a crossface to the prone Rider. 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... Konnely breaks the hold. 7... Josh rolls into the ring, and rolls right back out to break the count.

1... Josh brings Pale Rider back to his feet. 2... he sets Rider in position for a Russian leg sweep. 3... Konnely delivers a Russian leg sweep directly into the front of the announce table. 4... Rider crumples to the floor holding the back of his head.

JC: Side Russian leg sweep against our announce table!

RW: Rider's head cracked right against the front of our table! That was sick!

5... Josh climbs the ringsteps and gets back in the ring. 6... he goes to the opposite corner and, with the referee's back turned, removes the top turnbuckle cover. 7... Konnely crosses back to the side of the ring where Pale Rider is still on the floor. 8... Rider is beginning to crawl across the floor toward the ring, and Konnely hops back out of the ring, breaking the count again.

Josh Konnely rolls The Pale Rider back into the ring and again climbs the steps into the ring. There he pulls the Rider to his feet and locks him in the side standing choke, sweeping the leg for an STO.

JC: There it is! The arm triangle STO! Konnely has the Killing Embrace locked in!

RW: That is one sick move, but he's got the submission hold in the wrong position!

The Pale Rider's left arm and leg are under the bottom rope!

The referee calls for the rope break and begins to count. 1... 2... 3... 4... Josh releases the hold and gets to his feet, stomping on the chest of Rider as he does so.

JC: Konnely breaks at four, he would have been disqualified if the ref's count had reached five.

RW: That wouldn't have been so bad for Josh, he would have kept the United States Championship. But it looks like he wants to prove himself tonight. That or dish out some more punishment.

Konnely brings Pale Rider to his feet and drags him toward the corner with the exposed turnbuckle. He sets him in position for a powerbomb, lifts him up, and delivers a powerbomb to the exposed steel. Rider falls to the mat on his face, and Konnely pulls him back to the center of the ring. He goes for a pin.

JC: A diabolical powerbomb into the steel by Josh Konnely!

RW: I think Josh wants to cripple the Rider here tonight! But will that be enough to get him the win?!

1...

2...

The Pale Rider kicks out!

Josh stands up, clenching his teeth in anger. He pulls Rider back up and sets him up for the powerbomb again. Konnely raises Rider up on his shoulder and looks to drive him into the steel again, but Rider stops him with three quick right hands. Throwing his weight backwards, Rider counters with a head scissors that sends Josh face first into the exposed turnbuckle.

JC: Perfect counter by The Pale Rider!

RW: That looked bad for the champion! Here's the roll up! We've got a new US Champ!

Rider puts Konnely's shoulders on the mat with a small package as Randy described, and the ref drops down to make the count.

1...

2...

Josh kicks his legs upward, throwing Rider backwards. Pale Rider hits the steel turnbuckle back first and tries to catch his breath as Josh Konnely rolls backward and gets up to one knee. He wipes at his forehead, and pulls back a red hand.

JC: Oh my! That steel has busted Konnely open pretty bad!

RW: He did that to himself, John! Exposing that turnbuckle has certainly backfired on him here!

Konnely staggers up, and Pale Rider runs out of the corner, taking Josh down with a reverse bulldog. Konnely rolls to the ropes and pulls himself up in the corner. Pale Rider charges him again and goes for a leaping splash in the corner. Josh quickly moves out of the way, and Rider hits the exposed steel chest first. Konnely rolls him up, and puts his feet on the ropes for added leverage.

JC: No, not like this!

1...

2...

3...

RW: He's done it!

JC: NO WAIT! The referee has caught his feet on the ropes! He's waving off the pin!

RW: Great job of officiating there! We usually don't get that kind of alertness from the referees in this business. I believe Josh had a hold of the tights as well, but it was the feet on the ropes that the ref spots at the last second. And so the match continues on!

Josh Konnely is standing with his arm raised, believing he has won. The referee tells him no, and The Pale Rider pops out of nowhere with a leaping reverse STO.

JC: Pay Dirt!

RW: What?

JC: I- I don't know. It just felt right...

RW: Ohhh...KAY.

Both men are down now, and the referee begins a mandatory ten count.

1... 2... 3... The Pale Rider begins to crawl toward Josh Konnely. 4... Rider throws an arm across Josh's chest. The referee drops into position for a count, but stops when he sees Konnely's foot under the bottom rope. Rider then reaches across Konnely's body to grab the middle rope so he can pull himself to his feet. The Pale Rider grabs the top rope next and leaps in the air, crashing down with a knee drop to Josh's already bleeding forehead.

RW: Good Lord, that blood only makes the black and yellow face paint even more disturbing.

JC: I have to agree with you on that one, Randy. Josh really looks like something out of a nightmare.

The Pale Rider stands again and pulls Josh Konnely to his feet by the head. Suddenly Josh jumps up and pulls Pale's face down into both knees with a double knee facebreaker!

JC: Holy counters, Batman! A desperation Konntract Kill by Josh Konnely! That could do it!

RW: But does he have enough left to go for a pin?

Both men are down for a moment, but Josh quickly rolls to his stomach and pushes himself up to his feet. Pumping both fists, he steps through the ropes and climbs to the top rope!

JC: Josh Konnely could have won it there! What in the world is he doing?!

RW: I think it's all about inflicting more pain, John! He's uncharacteristically going high-risk!

Konnely makes a quick cutthroat gesture with his thumb, stands full up on the top rope and comes diving off with a headbutt. The Pale Rider rolls out of the way at the last second, and Josh Konnely faceplants into nothing but canvas.

JC: OH GOOD GOD! That is quite possibly the worst way to land off the top rope!

RW: That can't do his cut head any favors, either!

Konnely instinctively gets to his feet, doubled over and holding his face in his hands. Quickly Pale Rider hooks his head and takes him down in an inside cradle!

JC: Quick pin by Rider now!

RW: Can he get him?!

1...

2...

The Pale Rider grabs Konnely's tights.

3!

JC: That's it! It's all over!

RW: New United States Champion!

JC: It looks as though that Konntract Kill busted The Pale Rider open as well, but he takes advantage of a mistake by Konnely and gets the win!

RW: This match was absolutely as brutal as these two promised in the build up! Pale Rider grabbed the tights at the last second, but I guess turnabout is fair play!

The United States Championship belt is handed in to the referee as Josh Konnely gets to the feet. The Pale Rider has his arm raised in victory. Konnely intercepts the referee as he goes to hand the championship to the Rider. Josh yanks the championship belt out of the referee's hands, then whirls around and blasts The Pale Rider square in the head with it. Stone faced, he raises both arms over his heads in triumph before dropping the belt down on The Pale Rider's chest. The crowd boos as Josh Konnely climbs out onto the ring apron and down the steps, leaving the new United States Champion laid out in a pool of his own blood.

WINNER OF THIS MATCH AND NEW UNITED STATES CHAMPION: Pale Rider via Pinfall

Johnny Fierce vs. Kyle Murphy
Hardcore Championship Match

Re-Education (Through Labor) hits the air as Johnny Fierce enters onto the ramp. He stands at the top and takes a brief look around at the arena and fans. He raises his arm and gives himself a quick slap on the back of the neck before jogging down towards the ramp. He loosens up his arms a bit and slides through the bottom rope. He walks to his corner and uses the ropes to stretch a little as he readies for his opponent.

JC: This is our Main Event of the evening. Johnny Fierce has been relentless since his return, fighting every show we have had. He gets his shot at the Hardcore Champion this week.

"Mutherfucker Of The Year" by Mötley Crüe hits the loudspeakers and gold pyro erupts at the stage area. Kyle Murphy walks out with the SFT Hardcore Championship around his waist. He walks down the ramp to ringside, where leaps to the top of the steps, then walks backward to the middle of the apron. He raises his left arm before stepping through the ropes and into the ring. From there he goes to the far corner and climbs to the second rope. There he removes the SFT Hardcore Championship from around his waist and raises it over his head. The crowd roars its approval, and Murphy steps down off the second rope. Handing the belt to the referee, he holds up his right arm and prepares himself for a fight.

RW: Last week on War Murphy was brought to the limit by Nico Sutton, I wonder how much he has in him for this match here.

JC: In my opinion Nico should be here in this match as well.

RW: He’ll get his shot.

The bell sounds as the match is under way. Johnny lunges towards Kyle who dodges him. Johnny quickly regains his composure but it’s to late, Kyle is right behind him as he turns around Kyle is there to kick him in the gut and drop him quickly with a DDT. Kyle rolls out of the ring and grabs a steel chair, Kyle folds the chair and tosses it into the ring.

JC: What is he doing, it’s to early to be going for all that shit.

Kyle pulls a ladder out from under the ring and shoves it into the ring from under the bottom rope. Kyle leaps back to the apron where Johnny is there to meet him with a shoulder to the midsection. Johnny hooks Kyle and brings him back into the ring with a vertical supplex! Johnny grabs the ladder and sets it in the corner. He heads back to Kyle who is struggling to get to his feet. Johnny backs Kyle into the ropes and whips him across the ring, as Kyle comes back he is met with a standing drop kick from Johnny that drops him hard to the mat. Johnny quickly brings Kyle back to his feet and attempts to whip him into the ladder he set in the corner but Kyle is able to reverse the whip and sends Johnny Fierce crashing into the ladder! Kyle walks around the ring dazed for a second. Finally he rushes in and leaps, Kyle splashes Johnny Fierce on the ladder! Kyle backs off as Fierce hits the mat. Kyle grabs the ladder and opens it, setting it near the corner.

Kyle begins to climb the ladder but only gets up three rungs before Johnny is there and tips the ladder over sending Kyle crashing to the outside. Johnny sets the ladder up again climbs to the top.

JC: What the hell is Johnny Fierce doing all the may up there!! This is as high risk as you can get!!

Johnny leaps off the top of the ladder and hits a frog splash!!! Both men are down on the outside!

RW: That may have done more damage to Johnny Fierce than Kyle. That’s almost thirty feet in the air! Fierce came crashing down, I’d be surprised if he didn’t break his ribs.

After a few minutes of both men rolling around on the ground outside the ring, they begin to struggle to their feet. Johnny is first to his but he is holding his rib cage. Johnny grabs Kyle and rolls him into the ring. Johnny soon follows and imeediatly goes for the cover…

JC: What the hell is this? Why is Nico down here?

While Johnny is distracted with Nico, Kyle grabs the steel chair and takes a swing at Johnny’s head. Johnny ducks and Kyle takes out Nico with a viscous shot to the face!! Johnny gets to his feet and drop kicks Kyle from behind who is concerned about Nico. Kyle falls into the chair face first.
