Breakdown Opening
Breakdown opens with a recap of the end of Atonement…
Dameon, tasting his own blood, becomes infuriated. He mounts Lion and begins to pummel his head with rights and lefts. The ICON is berated Dameon and starts to count…1…2….3…..4…..5….but Dameon doesn’t care. The ICON, behind Dameon, grabs his arm. Dameon pulls his arm forward and then snaps it back hitting ICON in the face sending ICON into the turnbuckle. Dameon turns around and at the same time ICON is coming out of the corner. As Dameon turns around, ICON nails him with a Showstoppa!!!!
JC: SHOWSTOPPA ON DAMEON!
RW: NO! NO! NO!
Lion stumbles to his feet, sees Dameon laid out, looks at ICON in amazement and then quickly snaps out of it. He grabs Dameon, picks him up and hits The Ravaging, an FU into a facebuster slam! The Lion pins Dameon and hooks his leg. The ICON counts 1…2…3!!!!!!!!
JC: THE LION DID IT! HE DID IT! HE DID IT!
RW: WE HAVE A NEW SFT WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!
The Lion gets to his feet absolutely ecstatic. The time keeper hands the SFT title to ICON who hands it over to The Lion. The Lion raises the title up into the air and lets out a loud roar. With blood dripping down his face, Genevieve gets into the ring and celebrates with Lion. Pyro explodes around the ring. Lion exits the ring with his newly won SFT World Title.
Winner via Pinfall and NEW SFT HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, The Lion!!!
Inside the ring, ICON is standing over Dameon with a mic in hand.
The ICON: Dameon, you provoked me and I had no choice. You screwed yourself. You have no one to blame tonight but yourself! I was right all along. You aren’t Legend material. A legend can overcome the odds night in and night out. But you buckled under the pressure once and for all. Dameon, you took my most prized possessions from me and tonight I’ve taken your most prized possession from you!
…Scene goes to the Breakdown opening credits. Credits finish and inside the arena a huge pyro explosion opening the show takes place. We cut to ringside.
RW: Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to another episode of Sunday Night Breakdown!
JC: Coming off of the heels of one of our most successful pay-per-views in Strike Towers history, we have an exciting show lined up for you tonight.
RW: We’ll have all kinds of fallout from Atonement. Lion, our new champion, will be taking on Cheeky Joe in the main event for the World Heavyweight Title.
JC: That’s right. Cheeky earned the opportunity when he won the innovative open invitational battle royal.
RW: Also tonight we’ll see Primal Destiny taking on Kyle Murphy and Josh Konnely.
JC: Konnely has started a war with Cross, and Murphy earned a shot at Wolf’s US Title.
RW: Primal Destiny came up short against the Icon’s but were able to retain their individual gold.
JC: Jack Jones cost DVD the IC Title, and DVD will have an opportunity at revenge tonight, and DVD’s partner in crime will try to get some retribution for Dave as ICON takes on Redd.
RW: It’s a jam packed show that will be full of emotion, I’m sure…
Blue Spotlights flicker throughout the arena and BANG! "CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES..." Individual pyro blasts lining the left and right side of the entranceway explodes as a domino effect from the bottom of the ramp to the top, which leads to a massive pyro explosion at the top of the set. "...THIS IS MY LAST RESORT!" The ICON emerges from behind the curtain and makes his way down to the ring. He gets a mixed reaction from the crowd.
JC: Give credit where credit is due. Our new Co-owners are doing what they said they would do and they have turned this company around.
RW: As evidenced by Atonement. One of the most bought and highly rated PPV in years!
The ICON takes a mic.
The ICON: Everything went right last Sunday. I warned Dameon not to cross me and he practically spit in my face. He learned the hard way that you don’t disrespect The ICON. He terrorized my family and destroyed my property and he didn’t think there would be a consequence for that?! He must not know me very well. Last Sunday, I took from him, what he took from me and my family. I took away his security. I took from him the thing he treasured. I took from him his top spot in the company. And now, he’s going to have to start from the bottom and work his way back to the top!
The crowd boos the ICON.
The arena lights dim as the Striketron fills with static, the words "A Revolution in Pain." appear a midst the salt and pepper scheme holding a hue of red, the opening notes of strike out through the PA the arena begins to flash with blood red lights, and as the rest of the guitars slowly join in strobe lights begin to flare in the entry way. Dameon then throws the curtain aside and steps out onto the stage as the vocals roar sending chills down the spines of children and soon to be mothers alike. Dameon throws his arms into the air with Kendo Stick in his left hand, making an "X" with his arms. "Never too late to stand your ground - Revolution begins In you - In me - Revolution!...BEGINS!!!" Dameon stands atop the stage, smug look on his face, mic in hand.
Dameon: ICON, ICON, ICON. You sorry excuse for a human being. If you thought it was going to be that easy to get rid of me, think again! I will be in the main event tonight. And I will be taking MY World Title back!
The crowds cheers loudly
The ICON: Dameon, I already have a main event scheduled tonight. And that match is Lion, the NEW champions versus Cheeky Joe, the number ONE contender. Dameon, if you wanted to be in that match, all you had to do was win on last Sunday. But you didn’t. You failed!
Dameon: But ICON, you see, as a champion, I get a re-match clause. So I can pick and choose when I want to fight for MY SFT Title again. And I choose to fight for MY Title TONIGHT!!!!
The crowd goes insane, nearly blowing the roof off the building.
Dameon: ICON, tonight I’m making the rules and I have declared that the main event will now be a triple threat match! And it will feature Lion putting MY title on the line against Cheeky Joe and “The Beast” Dameon!
Dameon’s music hits again as the crowd pops. ICON is left in the ring angry as we fade to commercial.
::Commercial Break::
RW: Wow, what an announcement we just heard. Tonight’s title match will now be a triple threat match.
JC: Dameon wasted no time in activating his rematch clause.
RW: Much to the chagrin of The ICON.
JC: We’re set up for one wild ride here tonight and it begins with our opening contest…NEXT!

WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Xaokiin via Pinfall!!! RW: Well up next we’ll be having a revenge match. JC: Yea, Jack Jones cost DVD his IC title at Atonement…. Segment Welcome to the Jungle blares over the P.A. System and the striketron flashes clips of footage from what seems a discovery channel special on preditors of the world. The fans get to their feet and get their cameras ready as from backstage The Dark Wolf and Ray Cross the Croc Tamer step out from backstage and the fans go wild. Cameras start flashing throughout the arena. RW: Well, it looks like we’re going to have to wait…Primal Destiny making their way to the ring. Both men had a long pay per view weekend last week, and as a Tag Team Didn’t quite make it past DVD and Icon. Luckily both retained their own championships. JC: Ray Cross one of the longest undefeated Hardcore Champions and Dark Wolf, trying to get the record for longest reigning US Champion. Which may come to a halt when he faces number one contender Kyle Murphy. Both men enter the ring and climb opposing turnbuckles and pose as cameras go off throughout the arena. They then cross the ring and do the same on opposite sides as their music comes to an end and both are handed microphones. DW: Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the Den! Whether it be the crocs den or the wolfs den. It doesn’t matter. Cross: Last week The den was full, Konnely took a step in the crocs den and didn’t walk away in one piece, but we both walked out with a little more respect for one another. DW: Reno Destiny stepped into the Wolfs Den, and now is gone for a very long time. Unlike Cross and Konnely, I only lost respect for Reno. Cross: do you respect anyone? DW: Yeha.. Well… I… Dark Wolf shrugs as fans laugh a little bit him and Cross try not to laugh too hard as they turn to the fans. Cross: However at the PPV, there is one thing that didn’t go as planned. DVD and Icon were able to keep their tag team titles. The fans boo at the mention of the event and it takes some time before Cross can calm them down. DW: People, you have to understand, they hide behind their plush suites and lear jets running this place, and in order to make themselves look like fighting champions they have to make us fight other top contenders in a Pay Per View Match, just so they have a chance. Konnely and Cross nearly killed each other in one of the most BRUTAL, hardcore matches ever. And they knew that I had to split my focus on my coveted US Championship match with Reno. Because, well if it were a fair straight one on one match with DVD and Icon, well they obviously know what would have happened otherwise. Cross: Which brings us to today. Those two guys decided to have us face Kyle Murphy and Josh Konnely in a tag team match. Hoping to spark a feud and a fight that will get our minds off of the tag titles. I am sure they are laughing in their seats at the fact that Anishinabe and Jacobson are fighting each other tonight, just before they go after the tag belts themselves. DW: But that is alright, because we are here to guarantee to you the fans…. Cross: and to you the tag team champions… that we aren’t going to go for any of it. You haven’t gotten rid of us that easily. Don’t think you can hope to spark some extra fight and feud from use and Konnely and Murphy. DW: You see Kyle and I have fought for years, it’s a privilege every time we get a match. And Konnely and Cross answered all their questions at the PPV. We have no more problems. So no matter what happens, we aren’t going to be distracted. We want those tag team championships. And as long as you have them, we will be knocking at your door. Cross: Did you say knocking at their door? DW: I did…. They both look up at the Strike Tron as the scene cuts to Strike Towers offices as it shows Cross and DW at the door of Icons office. Then it cuts to straight feed of the office where Cross pulls out some lock picks and opens the door with them and both men walk in. Cross: Where does ICON keep those Cuban cigars, I know he has some since Obama lifted those trade restrictions. Wolf walks over to the big screen television and looks at it closely and then grabs it and tears it off the wall and throws it down to the ground. Cross: What the hell was that? DW: Tourettes? I tripped? It was an accident? The Devil Made me do it? Cross just shakes his head as he finally finds a cigar and lights it. Then he kicks the desk over as a pile of papers scatter all over the floor and a picture breaks, he grabs the picture off of the floor. DW notices and walks over. DW: Icon knows a hooker? I thought him and DVD were… You know… Cross: You are an idiot. Probably a girlfriend or something… or transvestite. DW: heh, This place is boring I think we should see what is on the other side of that door. They both look at the door labeled Dave Van Dam then look at each other and race to the door pushing each other out of the way like little kids they both charge full bar falling into the door as it breaks down. Both get up fast and dust themselves off and look around the room. it looks like the other room, only more boring. Cross shrugs and looks at Wolf who seems clearly disappointed. Cross: this isn’t a Cuban cigar, its pretty nasty. Cross flicks it across DVD’s room into a small wicker trash can sitting next to his desk as it starts on fire. They both look at each other, then run. As the scene cuts back to Cross and Wolf at ringside. DW: OOOOPS! Cross: Yeah you should have seen what the cost was for our bail after that little incident. DW: Well guys, I hope that when you get into work tomorrow you don’t have a lot of work to do. I know that that pencil pushing can be real hard on the fingers. Just keep in mind guys, that we are here and we aren’t going anywhere, every step you take, we will be right there watching. Waiting. Primal Destiny’s music hits as we go to commercial. ::Commercial Break::
MATCH

RW: Well hopefully now that the interruptions are over, we’re gonna get to finally see DVD and Jack Jones.
“Changes” by Tupac hit’s the airways and Dave Van Dam emerges from behind the curtain. An angered look on his face, he makes his way down to the ring.
JC: DVD had the IC title stolen from him and he’s looking for retribution.

Jack is hurt, and DVD swings the chair at him, missing. Jack rolls into the ring and the ref slowly starts to get up. Jack kicks DVD in the groin again and grabs the chair. As Jack goes to crack the chair over DVD’s head, The ICON comes running down the ramp, sliding into the ring past a groggy referee. Jack turns around to see ICON and takes a swing, but ICON ducks. DVD hit’s a backstabber on Jack. Suddenly it’s Redd flying down the ramp, sliding into the ring and tackling DVD. The ref shakes the cobwebs out and looks at the anarchy in the ring. He calls for the bell.
RW: Uh oh. Is this match over?
JC: Looks like it.
Redd and Jones brawl with DVD and ICON. The bell continues to ring as security and more refs pour into the ring to get these guys separated.
No Winner due to Double DQ!
JC: This is nuts, Redd and ICON have a match coming up next and they are out here kicking the shit outta each other!

Redd gets to his feet quickly, and takes Icon down with a leg sweep. he then applies an armbar, but Icon gets to his feet slowly.

NUMBER FOUR
P>RW: Well it looks like Primal Destiny aren’t too happy that the icon’s are gonna be taking on Redd and Jones next week.
JC: But tonight, they better keep focused. They’re gonna have their hands full with Konnely and Murphy.
"Mutherfucker Of The Year" by Mötley Crüe hits the loudspeakers and gold pyro erupts at the stage area. Kyle Murphy and Josh Konnely walk out with grins on their faces. They walk down the ramp to ringside, where Kyle leaps to the top of the steps, then walks backward to the middle of the apron.

He raises his arms and flexes his muscles. The crowd roars its approval, and Kyle steps down from the middle rope. Murphy then crosses to the center of the ring and smacks his elbows into his palms as he and Josh wait.
RW: Cross beat Konnely at Atonement, but Konnely got the last word with his vicious attack, leaving Cross with a concussion and at a disadvantage later on in the night when Primal Destiny took on the Icon’s for the tag titles.
JC: And Murphy won a number one contender to the US title match, so he’ll have a one on one date with Wolf in the near future.
Welcome to the Jungle Kicks in as Primal Destiny steps out from backstage. Cross with the Hardcore Championship and The Dark Wolf with the United States Championship over their shoulder. They pose on the entrance ramp before running down to the ring and sliding in under the bottom rope and circle the ring like two caged animals waiting to be fed.
RW: Even though they lost the tag title match at Atonement, they two men have been on fire lately. And it’s more than likely, they’ll be back in the title hunt sooner than later.
The bell rings as Dark Wolf and Josh Konnely get things started. The two men circle each other and lock up. Josh hit’s a quick knee to the gut, followed by a European uppercut sending DW to the ground. Josh hit’s a quick elbow drop.

Cross turns around and talks smack to Josh, who tries to come in but is restrained by the ref. Cross and DW go to work on Murphy in the corner as Josh yells at the ref to turn around. Ref turns around and Cross walks outta the corner like nothing was happening. Cross walks over to Josh and talks some more trash. As Cross turns around, Josh grabs him by the hair and slams him to the mat. Cross baseball slides outta the ring and grabs Josh by the ankles pulling him off the mat, causing Josh to hit his face on the edge of the ring. While the ref is distracted by all this, DW was continuing his assault on Murphy who had rolled to the outside. Cross back into the ring, as DW rolls Murphy back in. Josh on the outside goes under the ring and grabs a baseball bat. Cross goes for a swing, but Murphy ducks and pushes Cross toward the corner where Josh is back on the apron and nails Cross between the eyes with the baseball bat, right in front of the referee. He immediately calls for the bell. Cross falls to the mat as blood pours from his head.
JC: What the hell?!
RW: Looks like Murphy and Josh weren’t worried about wins and losses tonight.
JC: Hasn’t Josh done enough damage to Cross? Another vicious shot to the head!
DW is in the ring quickly to assist Cross. Murphy and Josh make their way toward the ramp, smiles on their faces. DW looks out in anger arguing with Konnely and Murphy.
RW: Looks like these feuds are only getting started. It’ll be interesting to see where it goes from here.
WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Primal Destiny via DQ!!! MATCH
NUMBER FIVE
RW: This next match should be interesting.
JC: You got that right. These two men just won a number one contender’s match to the tag titles and tonight, they’re fighting each other, hardcore style!
RW: You know it’s Strike Towers when.
JC: Yea, when anything can happen.
Anishinabe’s music hits and he makes his way down to the ring.
RW: My money is on Anishinabe tonight.
Daniel Jacobson comes down to the ring and walks cocky to the ring,and Reqiuem for a Dream plays on the PA. Once in the ring he gets on the top rope and taunts the crowd and they boo.
The two men stand in the center staring each other down. After a long staredown Jacobson is the first to attack, he throws a punch which is blocked by Anish and countered with one of his own. Jacobson ducks and grabs Anish from behind but Anish torks his back cauing Jacobson to fall infront of him. Jacobson quickly got back to his feet to see a kick coming to his face but he grabbed it and spun it down causing Anish to spin around. As he made his complete 360 Jacobson had a clothesline ready but Anish grabbed his arm and fell to his back with an armbar.
JC: It looks like Anish got the first shot on this match.
Up on the mat Jacobson grabs his arm as Anish picks up and irish whips him. On his return Anish went for a spinebuster but Jacobson countered with a DDT leaving Anish on the mat holding his head. Jacobson unleashed an Armbar on the left arm of his opponent. Anish, after a few seconds, contorted his body to get, what resembled, a schoolboy on Jacobson and after a one count he was forced to release the arm. Both men stood and Jacobson, once more, tried for a punch, Anish countered and gave a right hook to Jacobson's jaw. He grabbed his head and got him in a front face lock, then he twisted his opponent's neck until they were back-to-back and Anish dropped Jacobson with a neck breaker.
RW: New gameplan for Jacobson, no punching, it doesn't seem to be helping his cause.
Anish stood and began kicking at the body of Jacobson and on the third kick Jacobson grabbed his leg and tripped him then locked his legs around it to get his opponent in a leg lock. The ref ran over to Anish and asked if he'd like to give it up, but Anish shook his head as he crawled, dragging Jacobson's dead weight, over to the ropes grabbing it. Jacobson let go allowing Anish to grab to his leg as Jacobson rolled out the ring and grabbed a chair. He threw it in, grabbed another and threw it in too. He rolled back in and picked up on of the two chairs then walked over to Anish, who just began getting up. Jacobson swong the chair at his head but Anish grabbed it, kicked Jacobson in the gut, ajusted his grip, then hit Jacobson in the head with the chair. It seemed to make a nice boarder as it stuck around his neck as he fell. Anish picked up his leg and shook it a bit as he crossed the ring and grabbed the other chair. He positioned it on the turnbuckle then picked up Jacobson pushing him back to the opposing turnbuckle.
JC: Anish with pure evil intentions here.
RW: Yeah and I like it.
Against the opposing turnbuckle Anish punched Jacobson a few times to shaken him up. He, then, grabbed his arm and irish whipped him towards the chair, Jacobson reverced it a little less than half way across the ring but Anish reversed it back and, instead, sent Jacobson towards the exact same turnbuckle he had just come from and followed it up with a clothesline but Jacobson, stole a shot to Anish's mouth his his elbow. Jacobson, sprang from the turnbuckle, now with this chance, and picked up Anish with a high Spinbuster. Anish lay on the mat holding his back as Jacobson stood, slightly tuckered. He noticed the chair still at the turnbuckle and picked up Anish. He grabbed his arm and irish whipped him right into the chair with his back hitting it. Anish stumbled forward holding his back and right into Jacobson's arms. Jacobson locked his grip around Anish's body and tossed him over his head with a belly-to-belly suplex. This only put forth further damage to the back of Anish.
JC: Looks like Jacobson is working on Anish's back.
RW: Hey Look it's captin obvious, yeah we got that.
JC: Shut up I was just informing the viewers at home.
Jacobson grabbed the chair that was used on him earlier in the match and smashed it against Anish's back. He laughed and picked Anish. Jacobson, again, gave him an irish whip into the turnbuckle with the chair and Anish, again, stumbled forward holding his back with Jacobson placing him in a front face lock and giving him a snap suplex. Anish, looked to be down for the count and Jacobson covered him... 1... 2...
Kickout, Jacobson didn't seem to surprised as he picked Anish up. Suddenly Anish exploded, broke the hold of Jacobson and unleashed a series of punches. Anish, after another punched, jumped back to bounce off the roped but Jacobson was waiting for him with a High backdrop.
RW: Oh My, did Anish reach the Heavens on that flight?
JC: Good question, but the real story is that Jacobson looks to clearly have the upperhand.
Jacobson, rolled out the ring and grabbed a table that rested against the guard railing. He pushed it in and followed. Anish, still, lay against the mat holding his back as Jacobson set up the table. He walked over and picked up Anish, then placed him on the table following him up there. He grabbed Anish and mounted him on his shoulders for a powerbomb.
JC: If Jacobson gets this the match may be shortened.
RW: If Jacobson gets this we'll have a winner.
Jacobson was about to drop him when Anish countered with a frankensteiner leaving Jacobson to fall into the table. Now both men lay on the mat, Jacobson between a table, and Anish, not too far from it. The ref ran back and forth checking on the men as, Anish rolls out the ring and gabs another Table and slides it into the ring. He stands, woblily, as he sets up the table. he picks up Jacobson and irish whips him, on his return he gives him a single leg take down, causing Jacobson's head to hit the table's edge. Jacobson lay on the mat with blood beginning to seep from his forehead. Anish picked Jacobson up and set him onto his shoulders as Jacobson had did earlier. Anish dropped Jacobson with a powerbomb but held on and picked him back up onto his shoulder. He dropped him for a second but still held on and mounted him on his shoulders again. Anish spun around, a full 180 and dropped to his butt giving Jacobson a full, forced, powerbomb into the table. Jacobson lay, motionless on the wreckage of the table.
RW: Damn whata move.
JC: This match has taken a turn for the worse.
Anish stood and kicked some of the pieces of table out the way as he picked up Jacobson. He DDT'd his opponent and mounted him with a stream of punches to the cut on his forehead. The ref begged Anish to get off but Anish continued until Jacobson blocked one of the punches and socked him in the jaw causing Anish to fall back holding his mouth. Jacobson wiped the blood from his face as he stood. He grabbed one of the chairs and smashed it into the back of Anish again and again. Anish rolled around the mat with each hit until he rolled right out the ring. Jacobson, however, wasn't going to let him run and followed him out the ring. Jacobson, now on the outside, held the chair up and smashed it into Anish's back again with Anish, wanting to escape so he rolled under the ring. Jacobson, after a few seconds, lifted the apron to see Anish under with a ladder and, the next second Anish rammed it into Jacobson's face. Jacobson fell back and Anish crawled out with the ladder wit ha cheering crowd on their feet. Anish set up the ladder next to Jacobson and began climbing it.
RW: It’s time for the L in TLC to come into play.
JC: This isn't going to be good for Jacobson.
Anish on the top waved his hands for the crowd to cheer and they did. Anish jumped off with something that resembled the money shot hitting Jacobson in the stomach. He pushed Jacobson back into the ring and pinned. 1....
2....
Kickout, Anish's eyes widened by this amazement in ability but it tried for it to not get to him and instead rolled out the ring, grabbed the ladder, and rolled back in. He set up the ladder on the insider in one corner then rolled out and grabbed a table setting it up inside in the middle of the ring. Anish grabbed Jacobson and placed him on the table punching him a bit just to keep him dazed. Anish climbed the ladder and jumped from the very top with an elbow drop but Jacobson quickly moved and left Anish witha shattered elbow on the table.
JC: Jesus Christ... Anish's elbow must be broken.
RW: It'll be hard for him to get back in this match.
Jacobson stands up and pulls up Anish, he quickly kicks him in the mid-section and hit’s The Last Chance, then covers, ONE . . . TWO . . . THREE.
JC: Jacobson just proved he has the ability to beat anyone and this could be the beginning for his future.
RW: A great match and a great capitalization from Jacobson to take the match.
JC: I wonder what this means for the future of their tag team relationship?
WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Daniel Jacobson via Pinfall!!! ::Commercial Break::Coming back from break, the camera is inside Dameon’s locker room as he gets ready for his match. Dameon reaches in his locker for his kendo stick when suddenly a man dressed in dark clothing with a hoody jumps him from behind. The man throws Dameon into the lockers and then picks up a steel chair and smashes it against Dameon’s head, crunching it between the locker and the chair. Dameon begins to bleed from his ears as he just falls to the ground. The man in dark clothes quickly makes his escape. The camera cuts to ICON’s arena office. He’s watching a monitor and sees what just happened to Dameon. He begins to smile, looks at the camera and addresses everyone. The ICON: Oh no! What happened to poor Dameon?! At the beginning of the show, Dameon said he was using he rematch clause tonight. If Dameon doesn’t make it to his match, he will forfeit and therefore he will have wasted his rematch clause! And from what I just saw, I don’t see Dameon getting into the ring anytime soon! Dameon, you thought you could double cross me? Outsmart ME?! You’ve got another thing coming, son. Looks like Dameon won’t be getting a shot at the title tonight. And now with his rematch clause out of the way, he may NEVER get another shot at it!
MATCH
NUMBER SIX
RW: Oh my God! I can’t believe it.
JC: The ICON had to be the mastermind behind that attack, but who was his henchman?
RW: Time will tell I guess. But The ICON has just screwed Dameon for the second week in a row! Damnit! And Dameon had one pulled over ICON’s eyes.
JC: But ICON outsmarted him in the end. It looks like tonight’s match will be one on one.
RW: And that favors Lion. Now he had to defend his title against only one man.
JC: Let’s get to the action.
Tarzan Boy rips through the PA as Cheeky Joe saunters out of the back. Giving an exaggerated "parade" wave to the crowd, he ambles down to the ring, makes to kick the ref in the nuts, then goes to his corner with a self-satisfied smirk on his face.
RW: This guy is all fun and games, but he’s gonna have to get serious if he wants to do the impossible.
JC: Yea, just a week ago, Joe answered the call for the invitational battle royal and earned his shot here tonight for the SFT Title.
The Jumanji theme hits the PA as Lion walks out wearing the SFT Title around his waist, bearing his chest and staring proudly into the horizon. As he walks down to the ring a loud Lion's roar is heard. His walk is staggered and timid, as if stalking prey. He then climbs onto the apron just by stepping onto it, he then steps over the ropes and into the ring.
RW: We’re about to find out if last week was a fluke for The Lion or if he’s the real deal.
JC: His first title defense, and hopefully it won’t be his last.
The two men in the ring look towards each other intently neither sowing fear or intimidation. Cheeky calm and Lion determined. The ref calls for the bell as it sounds and the two nod at each other. They circle the ring and lock up. Lion pushes Cheeky back towards the corner turnbuckle. At the last second Cheeky spins and starts in right away with a chop to the solarplexus. And another huge chop across the chest. Cheeky with an irish whip to the far turnbuckle but Lion ducks under and reverse it pulling Cheeky in for a short arm clothsline. Cheeky ducks and grabs a waistlock. Lion reverse behind to a waistlock and grabs a headlock. Cheeky uses his hands to search for a way out and then stepes back under and reverses it into a hammerlock and grabs Lion in a headlock.
RW: Reverse after reverse by these two. This could go for a while
JC: tell me about it. These men need to pace themselves though or they will tire fast.
RW: This is not an Olympic sport this is Professional wrestling and these two are the top two.
Lion can't seem to get a reverse in and decides to shove Cheeky into the turnbuckle.. Cheeky quickly runs his feet up the three pads and in the air with a huge headlock takedown. Cheeky still holding on to that headlock. Lion reaching for the ropes but too far starts to fight to get to his feet. Cheeky shaking his head no. The ref asking Lion if he gives up. Lion says no. Cheeky yells that Lion is pulling his hair. The ref goes around behind to look as Cheeky punches turns the headlock into a choke.. Then just before the ref gets back slips it back to a headlock. The fans boo. Lion finally starts to shove Cheeky into the turnbuckle again but again Cheekys Agility as he runs up the corner and another huge headlock takedown.. Lion again quicker fights to his feet as the fans start to cheer loudly.. Lion with an elbow to the midsection of Cheeky.. And another elbow .. And another... Finally Cheekys grip loosens and Lion heads for the ropes for momentum but Cheeky grabs the hair and Lion drops. Cheeky grabs Lion by the hair picking him up and grabbing a headlock again. Cheeky points to the fans yelling and tells the ref to watch them as the ref looks Lion shoves Cheeky off of him into the ropes but again Cheeky grabs the hair and pulls Lion back into a headlock.
RW: Cheeky is cheating and abusing the hair.
JC: Gotta do anything you can when the title is on the line
Lion Again shoves Cheeky to the turnbuckle and once again Cheeky runs his feet up the corner and goes for a headlock takedown but Lion kicks his feet out and drops Cheeky on the back of his head. Modified Backdrop nearly cripples Cheeky as both men are down. Lion goes for a cover. One.... Two... th kickout. Cheeky sits up rather quickly but Lion is already to his feet and dropkicks Cheeky right back tot eh mat. Lion then grabs Cheeky and starts laying in the punches to the face over and over as the fans cheer. The ref warns Lion but Lion ignores him till the ref starts to count.. One.... Two... Three... Four.. Lion stops and turns to the cheering crowd raising his hands in an X formation.
RW: Lion knows the rules and knows he can break them till the ref hits five on the warning.
JC: Both of these men know how to break and bend the rules. But Lion wasn't one to go there till after blatant abuse of hair pulling by Cheeky.
RW: I didn't really see anything. When your hair is as greasy as Lions you wouldn't think any less of him anyhow.
JC: What?
Lion grabs Cheeky and shoots him off the ropes and a huge back body drop then Lion off the ropes drops an Elbow. Lion then steps on the face of Cheeky and stomps as Cheeky scatters across the ring holding his face. Lion walks over to Cheeky picking him up and puts him in suplex position and points to the crowd who all cheers. And Lion lifts up Cheeky and holds him in a stalling suplex. He continues to hold him there and then lets go with one hand holding him up with one hand.
RW: What is he doing?
JC: Lion showing off now it seems.
Then Cheeky kicks his legs and a huge reverse into a DDT Cheeky driving Lions head into the mat. Both men down.. The ref counts.. One..... Two..... Three..(the fans join in)... four..Five..... Six... Seven.... Cheeky grabs the bottom rope and starts to pull himself to his feet .. Lion slowly to his feet also. Cheeky charges Lion. Lion Ducks as Cheeky goes over him.. Cheeky off the ropes Lion still trying to get his stance sees Cheeky and lifts him up into a press Slam but stumbles backwards into the ropes dropping Cheeky over the top rope to the floor with the momentum.
RW: Oh My god.. That was Sickening.. That thud.
JC: I don't think Lion even realized what just happened.
Lion drops down to his knees catching his breath. A few spots on him broken open from the beating on Breakdown and bleeding. Slightly. Three officials are down at Cheekys side. They wave for paramedics to come to the back. Paramedics show up looking over Cheeky they as a group roll him over on his back. They all look up and move as Lion moves over and grabs Cheeky and picks him up. The officials yell at him as he drives Cheekys head into the steel rings steps. Cheeky just lays there on the steel steps. Lion grabs him and brings him over and irish whip into the corner steel post.... Cheeky reverses and they clothsline each other to the ground.
RW: That had to be Instinct right there. I doubt Cheeky is even consciously effecting what he is doing.
JC: Or, somehow I think he might be playing possum. As Lion said. This match is all about mind games. The ref back in the ring begins the count again as the fans at two join in. One...... Two....... Three....... Four...... Five........ Six......... Seven............. Eight............. Nine..... Out from in back you see Dave Van Dam heading to the ring. He slides in. talking to the ref.. The ref looks over the edge to the announcer.
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, We have just been informed that this match has been officially made into a FALLS COUNT ANYWHERE Match!
RW: WHAT?
JC: That means there are no count outs!
RW: they can battle where ever this match takes them?
JC: That's right. How long you been doing this Randy?
The ref to the outside sees Lions hand is over Cheeky and counts.. One.... Two... thr shoulder up.
RW: How the hell did Cheeky do that?
Lion rolls over to his stomach and slowly tries pulling himself up. Cheeky also starts to get to his feet and his head is busted wide open.
RW: That smack he took on the steel steps has broken the flesh of Cheeky.
JC: More than he did to himself.
Lion walks over to Cheeky who gives Lion a boot to the midsection. Then he grabs cheeky by the back of the neck and drags him to the announcers table and slams his head into the ring announcers table. Lion stops and looks fully awake and turns staring intently into Cheekys eyes. Cheeky steps back for a moment and Slams Lions head into the table again. Lion kicks Cheeky in the gut and then slams Cheekys bleeding head into the table. And again and again. Cheeky is down laying face down on the table again just as he was on the steel steps. Lion lifts Cheekys legs up onto the announcers table. Lion looks to the fans and gets in the ring. Lion looks down and points to the unconscious Cheeky as the fans cheer. Lion begins to climb to the top turnbuckle.
RW: NO.. Lion this is going to far you cannot.
JC: Well plead all you want he is going to do it!
Lion Leaps in the air and flies across the open area and only in tome to see Cheeky use all of his energy to move out of the way Lion Collides with the announcer table without Cheeky there to break his fall. Lion hit's the table in an explosion of wooden pieces and a huge mess.
RW: Lion is here at my feet he isnt moving at all.
JC: we need to end this match. Cheeky probably has a concussion, Lion is out cold probably dead. Cheeky gets up and heads to the ring and rolls in. Just laying there waiting for a ten count.
RW: Cheeky doesn't know they changed the match.. Maybe he really was out cold.
Cheeky gets to his feet slowly and looks at the ref. and points you can hear him saying to count. The ref says something back and Cheeky looks pissed.

WINNER OF THIS MATCH: Cheeky Joe via Pinfall!!!
Cheeky Joe is handed the title as I think he himself can’t believe he’s actually done it. Average Mike comes down to the ring and celebrates with him. Mike raises Joe’s hand as the two break out in laughter. Mike hugs Joe and Joe raises the title up in the air.
Suddenly, the lights flicker and go dark. Johnny Cash’s “Ring of Fire” begins to play as the lights come on. Standing atop the stage is Saint Jude. He looks into the ring and points to Joe. He then motions to his waist. He brings his thumb across his throat and pyro explodes from the ring posts. The show closes.
