Main Event
Phil: Well fans it's time for tonight's main event, a triple threat match with huge implications for all three men's futures in the SFT
Steve: It's that important? I thought all of the important business was at the pay-per-view?
Phil: No, the match has huge implications because we still have to see if returning former television champion Christian Cage still has it
and it's Kristin Cirio's first match in the SFT. Plus..
Steve: Well what about Cowboy Jack Jones? You can't forget that he's a veteran tag team competitor. What is it with you always
dissing the big boys Phil?
Phil: I'm not dissing anyone. I was getting to his importance just before you cut me off but we can't debate this any longer there's action
unfolding inside the ring!
All three men circle each other as the bout gets ready to begin and Jones quickly walks over to Cage and discusses a possible deal to
start the match. Cirio just looks at both men, a little tentative since this is his debut and when he turns to the crowd to gauge their
feelings he gets a beatdown from the veterans. Cage and Jones stomp away at the rookie and then whip him into the ropes giving him a
high double-backdrop. Cage and Jones then take down Cirio with a double-clothesline. As Cirio lays on the mat hurt, Jones gives Cage a
high five and glances to the crowd but when he turns around Cage hits him with a thunderous superkick and takes Jones to the turnbuckle
ten times.
Phil: Jones should've known better than to trust Cage!
Steve: It's a brutal world we live in Phil, oh the humanity!
Cage plans Jones with a DDT and covers but Cirio recovers from the canvas and breaks up the pinfall at two. Cirio stomps Cage out of
the ring and then hits him with a pescado. However, when he gets up after hitting the move on the arena floor, Jones comes off the top
rope with a flying clothesline that gets some serious hang time. Jones takes Cirio into the steps and then whips him toward Cage who
backdrops him into the crowd in desperation to avoid a collision. Cage tries to take a run at Jones only to get hit with a vicious lariat that
causes the crowd to go into a collective "ooohh" but when Jones rolls Cage into the ring and covers he only gets a two-count. Jones hits
Cage with a piledriver and then a suplex but a splash off the top rope hits knees and Cage starts going into a beatdown as Cirio comes
out of the crowd and surprises Cage with a missile dropkick to the back of the head. Unfortunately for him, though, Jones breaks the
count up at two.
Steve: Did you see the hangtime on that dropkick, Phil? This new kid is Superman!
Jones nails Cirio with a brainbuster and does the same to Cage before deciding to pick Cage up off the canvas and slam him onto Cirio.
Jones then decides to get cocky and cover both men but there is a collective kickout at two. Jones hurls Cage over the top rope to the
arena floor and looks down at the prone rookie and spits down on him but when he goes for a slam attempt he's small packaged for two.
Jones stands up quickly surprises and has Cirio duck a clothesline and then get a hanging neckbreaker. Cirio goes to the top rope and
nails Jones with a moonsault but Cage suddenly appears on the top rope and gets a guillitone legdrop off the top rope to break up the
pinfall attempt. Cage then limps over and covers as the referee counts 1??2?.but at the last second Jones breaks up that pinfall
attempt as well. All three men then stand up and engage in collective combat with fists, kicks, chops, and the like but no one seems to
gain a clear advantage until Cirio comes off the ropes and floors both opponents with a single, split legged dropkick. Cirio then takes on
both men by planting them with DDT's and decides to attack Jones with a running powerslam but that only gets two when Jones puts his
foot on the ropes.
Phil: This match is just wild fans! No one can get a decisive edge because the other guy keep interfering.
Cirio gets a tad frustrated and briefly argues the count with the referee but he resumes his beating of Jones with some second rope
punches in the corner. However, Cage now gets off the canvas, walks under Cirio and places him on his shoulders allowing Jones to go
to the top rope and hit a brutal Doomsday Device on the rookie. Cage goes over and covers as Jones is getting off the mat but Jones
pulls him off at two. Jones then jumps on top of Cirio and Cage, to return the earlier favor, pulls him off at two. The two men push each
other back and jaw in each other's face but when Jones tries to punch Cage, the former TV champ ducks his head and plants Jones with
a reverse DDT but it only gets two. Cage pounds the mat in frustration and decides to lock the prone Jones in a Sharpshooter and the
referee gets down on his knees to see if Jones will submit. Jones starts screaming in agony but seemingly out of nowhere from the
camera angle Cirio bounces off the ropes and bulldogs Cage to break the hold and regain the advantage.
Steve: Man where did this kid learn his craft? He's bouncing off the ropes hitting opponent's from wild angles and it never seems to end.
What's up with this?
Cirio elbowdrops Cage and connects with a flying legdrop from the apron after slingshotting himself back into the ring. Jones takes his
run at Cirio after this has occurred but the young gun catches him off the ropes and delivers a devastating hot shot that whips Jones neck
backward , causing him to fall to the canvas.
Cirio covers: 1...
2...
At the last moment Jones somehow manages to regain his composure and kickout but just barely and Cirio gets a La Magistral cradle
but that only gets two when Cage finally recovers and intercepts the pinfall. Cirio gives Cage a clothesline for interrupting the pin and
climbs the top rope but Jones pushes the referee into the ropes and Cirio crotches himself. Spotting an opportunity, Jones walks over to
his endangered opponent and hits the Bloody Steak superplex off the top rope.
Phil: That could be it fans!

but Cage comes in and breaks up the pinfall. Jones staggers to his feet clutching his head that just got hit with the elbowdrop that broke
up the pin and Cage plants him with a CKO.
1...

and Cirio this time interrupts the pinfall. Jones seems to be out of it as he only gets to his feet with the help of the ropes and Cage too is
showing some signs of exhaustion. Cirio runs at Cage on a blind charge near the corner but gets picked up and his head slammed into
the ringpost. Nevertheless, as Cirio comes back after taking the blow he manages to grab ahold of Cage and a reverse neckbreaker
leaving all three men in the match incapacitated and the referee begins to count.
1............2..3..
Phil: Someone's gotta get up here! The fans won't like a draw!
4..5..6..7..
Steve: I think it'll be a miracle if anyone else gets up right now but I gotta say that regardless of how this thing turns out I've definitely
been impressed by the efforts of all three men.
8..9..
but Cage suddenly kicks himself up off the mat and into an upright position. He spots Cirio and picks him up, delivering a Rocker dropper
but after he completes the move Jones gets a sidewalk slam for a quick two-count.
Steve: You've gotta watch your back in these matches or your going to get your clock cleaned! C'mon that's wrestling 101.
Jones pounds on Cage in the corner and then whips Cirio into him in the corner. Jones goes over to the opposite corner and starts
untying the turnbuckle pad which the referee interrupts. Nevertheless, this is all a part of a master plan as Jones picks up his cowbell and
charges to hit a staggering Cage but Cage ducks and Cirio takes the blow, falling out the ring. Cage quickly punches Jones in the gut
and nails him with the Deep Impact Driver as the referee comes over to count,
1.
2..
3!
Phil: What an impressive return from Christian Cage tonight in the main event! He just might be worthy of that name "the Chosen One"
after all.
Steve: Your absolutely right, a brilliant performance from Cage but it would've turned out different had Jones been able to deliver his
cowboy justice properly.
Winner: "Chosen One" Christian Cage Ending
Phil: Well fans that's our show for the night tune in next week!
Steve: Also tune in to Slaughter and Southern Scorcher II!
