<ReD.Open>
The opening for ReDeeMeR shows images of everyone competing tonight, as they train and as they wrestle. As Lacuna Coil's Swamped begins to play in the background, video of a wrestler plays as a voice over of that wrestler says "This is my redemption." The last of these shown is of Jason Wesley, and the video package ends with the image of the NDP Championship. Cut to the live feed, and pyro sets off crazy-like as Swamped plays in full force.

[Visper:] Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to ReDeeMeR! I'm Visper Karr and by my side as always is Lann Avery, Jr..

[Jr.:] No insult this time?

[Visper:] Nope, sorry. The well is runnin' kinda dry.

[Jr.:] Well that's fine, just fine.

[Visper:] Sure thing, buddy.

[Jr.:] Well anyway, Visper, the first match of the night reeks of SLOBBERKNOCKER! Colleen Dramesi demanded a title match but instead got a HANDICAP match with Midori Kuwahara and Aika Sugiyama; where she BRUTALIZED Midori’s knee and – thanks to interference from Kristin Blade – managed to victory over the two women! While that earned her a place in the FATALER Five Way Ladder match later tonight, Midori Kuwahara is out for REVENGE of the most brutal kind!

[Visper:] What kind is that?

[Jr.:] …The brutal kind!

<<Singles Match>> [TwinkyKid2002]
Colleen Dramesi
vs.
Midori Kuwahara, Version 2.0

Both women are in the ring, Midori sans Jason Wesley… apparently she’s very confident in her ability to handle this match herself. There’s the bell, and Colleen’s in and looking to end this one early, a kick to Midori’s stomach, but Midori SHE-HOSSES her way through the pain to body slam Colleen.

Midori whips Colleen to the ropes, she follows close after, jumping knee strike! Colleen stumbles back into the ropes, Midori with a loose kick – CAUGHT! NO! Enzuigiri from Midori Kuwahara! Colleen’s dizzy, but breaks the momentum with a knee to Midori’s stomach, followed by an elbow strike… Midori kicks out Colleen’s knee, and follows it with a spin kick to the rising Dramesi. Jumping knee strike, flying mare; ONE FOOT PIN! The ref slides in, one – KICKOUT!

Colleen is back up, cyclone whip, and right into the headlock punches… Midori wiggles free, a kick to Colleen – she gets a tight hold this time, dragon screw! She tries to double underhook Midori, but gets backdropped for her troubles, swing neckbreaker to the rising Dramesi! She rises from the mat, gets whipped to the ropes, returns to a pair of boots in her face, thanks to a Midori Kuwahara spinning dropkick! Midori follows by driving her good knee into the side of Colleen’s stomach, Skewer DDT to boot!

[Jr.:] BAH GAWD! If Midori Kuwahara can’t win this match, she’s going to make damn sure Colleen doesn’t win the FATALER Five Way Ladder Match, later tonight!

[Visper:] Psychology? In a WRESTLING show? What kind of sick world do we live in?

Colleen is up, and drops a quick knee across Midori’s back, Pendulum Backbreaker and an O-Soto-Gari follow up… hey, she’s like… working the back. Go figure.

Knuckle arrow punch, sidebuster from Colleen Dramesi, she’s really taking it to Midori; and follows up with a Samoa Joe style SOCCER BALL KICK! O-Layo-layo-lay…

What? Oh, sorry. BACK TO THIS MATCH!

Colleen covers, for a ONE COUNT! Body slam, cyclone whip, another soccer ball kick, Midori’s up, and Colleen suckers her into a small package, ONE, TWO, NO!

Colleen is irate, seeing her plan of “end this quickly” going down the drain with each move she does… Colleen may not be giving this her all so she has something left for the FATALER Five Way Ladder Match, but if she keep soft-pedaling, Midori might wind up with her spot! Midori rises from the mat, Colleen stalking her… ready, waiting… Midori turns, BLONDE BOTTOM! Er… SPINNING CHAMBER! Whatever the hell she called it, the Salesman Joe Morici couldn’t have hit it better himself!

Colleen goes to the apron, and Midori rolls away quick… Colleen comes in, under the third rope… Midori is back just as quick and a SOLID Kyoei 100% across the back of Colleen’s head! She crumples into the ring, and Midori covers… Foot on the ropes! FOOT ON THE ROPES! Midori is livid, and tries to pull Colleen up, hooked for a tiger suplex, Colleen rolls Midori into a Kido Clutch, making sure to grab and tweak that bad knee! ONE, TWO, TWO AND A HALF! MY GOD what a close escape! Colleen now, feeling mighty frisky as she mounts Midori… CLOSE YOUR EYES KIDS, COLLEEN’S FISTING MIDORI, YOU NORMALLY HAVE TO SUBSCRIBE TO A WEBSITE TO SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS!

Midori is bleeding – some women just can’t handle the fisting, I guess – and up to her feet… Colleen stalking her, she’s waiting, KICK WHAM, STUNNER! COVER, ONE, TWO, THRE--!! KICKOUT!! MIDORI KICKED OUT!!!

Colleen isn't pleased by this at all. She grabs Midori's bad leg and begins kicking the back of her knee. She pulls Midori back to her feet and grabs the leg, looking for a dragon screw, but Midori brings herself around for another step enzuigiri, but Colleen ducks and turns into Midori, dropping an elbow in the back of her knee and bringing Midori back down to the mat!

[Visper:] Colleen Dramesi dodged a bullet there!

Colleen, sick of screwing around, locks in the high power Boston half crab she had used against Midori in the two-on-one handicap match weeks ago, putting her knee right on Midori's neck. Midori tries to break free, trying to push out of it, trying to somehow break out, but Colleen has it locked in tight, and Midori doesn't last long before she taps!!

Colleen Dramesi wins via submission
Time: 17:39
Rating: 73%

After the bell rings, Colleen doesn't release the hold. She keeps it locked in, wrenching Midori's knee and torquing her big time. Three referees and a handful of trainers rush down to the ring and begin pulling Colleen off of Midori, with the officials dragging Colleen back up the ramp while the trainers tend to Midori.

Rock The Dead blasts through the speakers, and the cheers roar, as the Hatchet Army’s own Purple Ninja, Chris•Chris saunters to the ring… he pauses to slap hands with the NDP fans , before sliding into the ring… he turns, NINJA POSE~! Minor explosions go off, blasting confetti - purple, of course - into the air, from the ring into the crowd… And Chris-Chris, he takes a ready stance for his opponent…

Du Hast begins with the pounding drums, with a silent crowd… but as the guitars kick in, and Tranzfusion makes his entrance, the C-CWA Junior Heavyweight wrestling LIVING LEGEND is greeted with a wave of cheers, and streamers thrown across his path as he walks to the ring… before he starts his way up the ring stairs, he jumps, ASTRIDE VAULT! The crowd chants, “TRANZ-FYU-SHUN!” in a rhythmic, hockey style, with stomping, and Tranz wipes his feet on the apron before entering the ring… both men meet in the center of the ring, and the tension is so thick you could cut it with a spork! Tranz offers a handshake, but Chris slaps it away, and the crowd responds, “Oooooh!”

<<Singles Interpromotoinal Match>> [TwinkyKid2002]
"Purple Ninja" Chris•Chris
vs.
"Giant Killer" Tranzfusion

Chris starts it out by whipping Tranz to the ropes, but he bounces back and catches Chris in a running Drop Toe Hold, Chris is up and hits an elbow strike. Tranz feeds the leg, Chris catches it, enzuigiri! Spinning Leg Lock follows, Chris stands into a flying mare; followed by a body slam from Tranz; who’s demonstrating his control. Chin crusher attempt, Chris breaks Tranz’s hold on his jaw, flying mare in response, and the momentum has been broken!

He follows with a stomp to Tranz’s… um… Masked Champion, which makes Tranz sit up, eyes and mouth wide open… Chris takes the initiative and dropkicks Tranz, IN THE FAEC!

When Tranz gets to his feet, Chris body slams him down again, and when he gets up AGAIN, Tranz surprises the hell out of Chris with a leg feed enzuigiri! Tranz is taking back control of the back, throws Chris•Chris to the ropes, cyclone whip! Chris nails a water wheel takedown, Tranz responds with a face crusher… Chris twist Tranz’s arm, locks the shoulder, Enzuigiri of his own! Tranz stumbles back into the corner, Chris builds a head of steam, jumping elbow pat!

Chris with a loose sleeper hold, Tranz slips out and goes behind, Chris mule kicks backwards and hits Tranz in the… in the “How-do-you-do’s”.

[Jr.:] Chris•Chris may be representing NDP… but this isn’t very respectful of him.

[Visper:] YEAH, isn’t it GREAT?

Tranz DEFINITELY doesn’t approve, and says so by kicking Chris in the side, dazing him… Tranz goes to the ropes, Flying DDT! Spinning leg lock and a dragon screw follow, another flying DDT punctuates Tranz’s control… and a Face Crusher helps restate that thought… Chris rises, and Tranz takes a martial arts stance… Chris is on his feet, Tranz with a BACK SPIN KICK! Chris•Chris is on DREAM STREET, La Magistral cover from Tranzfusion, One, Two, Thr- Two and a half!

Tranz is surprised, but you don’t make it as a C-CWA Junior Heavyweight Living Legend by negotiating the speed of a count with the referee when you’ve got matches to win - Tranz goes to the ropes, flying kneel kick flies over Chris•Chris - ‘cuz Chris ducked - and he rushes Tranz, SPIKES HIM with a Flying DDT of his own! Tranz stands up, Chris doubles him over, piledriver! Chris•Chris locks in a sleeper hold, locks it in nice and tight this time! Plants his feet, SLEEPER SUPLEX! Tranz is having HIS turn on dream street, Chris goes to the apron, springboard dropkick takes Tranz back down, cover is made, One, Two, THR- TWO AND A HALF!

Not one to be discouraged easily, Chris•Chris pulls Tranz up, BLOODY HATCHET! Jackknife Hold, ONE, TWO, THR- NO! TRANZFUSION KICKED OUT! Chris•Chris is stunned, and Tranz almost catches him by surprise with a Victory Roll - no, Chris shrugs Tranz off his shoulders, Tranz catches the top rope stomach first! Tranz turns to Chris•Chris, Tiger Neck Chancre! Water Wheel Takedown! Tranz puts a stop to THAT with a High Jump Facebuster! Back Spin Kick MISSES, Chris goes for the Shaolin Cutter- NO! Tranz holds the leverage! COMPLETE SHOT!

Chris bounces off the mat and rolls outside the ring, and Tranz… grabs the top rope… Chris•Chris is holding his face; he might have a nosebleed. Tranz pulls the rope down, spring boards over, PLANCHA! NO! CHRIS•CHRIS MOVES! The two men brawl on the outside, the referee starts counting… both men get back into the ring at twelve, Facebuster from Tranz, and he goes up to the TOP ROPE… MAD SPLASH! CHRIS•CHRIS CATCHES TRANZ, rolls into the pin! ONE! TWO! THREE! OH MY GOD, CHRIS•CHRIS HAS DONE IT! BAH GAWD!

Chris•Chris wins by pinfall
Time: 18.20
Rating: 89%

Both men are in the ring, laying on the mat… they both rise at the same time, but instead of continuing their match, Chris•Chris offers a handshake! The crowd seems pensive, but when Tranz accepts the handshake, and the two share a quick, manly hug they erupt into cheers, the hockey rhythm style of “TRANZ-FYU-SHUN!” along with the stomps, and Tranz exits through the crowd slapping hands with fans on his way…

[Visper:] Chris•Chris will be going to the FATALER Five-Way Elimination Ladder Match later on tonight, where he'll meet Colleen Dramesi, Kristin Blade, Aika Sugiyama, and Domino for the crowning of the first-ever NDP Light-Heavyweight Champion!

[Jr.:] That match will be a classic, to be sure. But before that, we have one hell of a match for you people at home.

[Visper:] Absolutely correct, Lann. Coming up next is perhaps the single biggest match in New Damage Prowrestling history. Over the past year, Roselyn Pride and Jo Ryder have waged war against each other, culminating with a Best of Seven series that kicked off at our first-ever Supercard event, Wayward.

[Jr.:] Beginning that night, the two of them fought in some extremely brutal matches, including ladder, cage, dog collar, and first blood matches. Tonight, the two will meet in what might prove to be the biggest challenge of either of their careers; a 60-minute-long Ironwoman match.

A video package is shown, detailing the history of the feud. Starting back when Jo Ryder was attached to Roselyn's "Devils/Angels" faction, leading to Roselyn's lashing out against Jo. The two battled each other on many occasions, very few of them in matches, until the Best of Seven series was proposed.
At the first-ever NDP Supercard, Wayward, Roselyn and Jo battled in a First Blood match, which Jo cost herself by cutting her thumb. They then went into a destructive Ladder match, which saw Jo Ryder locking in a Ryder Crossface onto Roselyn Pride at the top of the ladder, just before the ladder crashed to the ground, and Roselyn Pride managed to claim victory by claiming a VHS tape hanging from the ceiling. And before that night in February was over, the two were put into a Last Woman Standing match, which lasted over 16 minutes and saw Jo Ryder claim her first victory in the series.
At NDP's second Supercard, RECKONING, the two started off the night with a Dog Collar match, which saw the two simply brutalizing each other with the help of a 20-foot chain, with Jo Ryder coming away with the victory. The two would meet later in the night in a 30-minute Ultimate Submission match, which Jo won as well, giving her a hot streak in the series of three wins in a row, and showing that she could indeed have the series won by the end of the Supercard. The last match of the night between the two took place in a 15-foot-tall steel Cage. Roselyn Pride and Jo Ryder went 15 minutes in the steel cage, after having already battled each other for nearly an hour over two matches earlier in the night. Roselyn Pride barely escaped from the cage to steal the victory from Jo Ryder, and set the last match of the Best of Seven Series at this Supercard, ReDeeMeR.

[Visper:] The rules of this match are very simple; the match will last for one full hour. The person with the most decisions at the end of the 60-minutes will win. Decisions can be scored by pinfall, submission, count out, disqualification, and knock out. You'll also notice the small timer in the lower-right corner of your screen, counting down the time from 60-minutes, as well as any decisions rendered so far. Whenever a decision is rendered, there will be a 15-second break between when the fall is made, and the next can begin. And finally, if there is a tie by the end of the 60-minutes, the match will go into sudden death overtime, where whoever scores the first fall in the overtime will win the match, as well as the Best of Seven series.

[Jr.:] Roselyn Pride, just yesterday, tried to get the boss to make this match a no-disqualification match, meaning that she would be able to use her array of choke holds however she pleased, along with whatever weapons and foreign objects that she pleased. Luckily, however, she was turned down and this match will happen like it should. Even so, if the past encounters between these two are any indication, this match will not be for the weak at heart.

<<Singles Match - 60-minute Ironwoman>> [motosada]
"Poisonous" Roselyn Pride
vs.
Jo Ryder

Bell rings, Jo and Roselyn start the match by circling around each other. After a second, Jo tries to grapple, but Roselyn takes a step back and leaves Ryder hangin'. Jo steps back and the two begin circling again, with Roselyn looking to initiate the grapple and Jo backpedaling. Roselyn backs away and Jo charges, ducking low and driving her shoulder into Roselyn's midsection, running straight into the corner. Jo grabs onto the middle rope and begins driving her shoulder into Roselyn's midsection. The referee calls for a rope break, and Jo keeps slamming her shoulder into Roselyn's midsection until the referee gets to his 4-count. Jo backs away and the referee forces his way between them, shoving Jo away from the corner. The referee moves back and Jo takes it right back to Roselyn, hitting her hard with an elbow pat before begining to kick her in the stomach. Jo works Roselyn down into the corner and continues stomping away at the midsection of Roselyn Pride.

[Visper:] BAH GAWD JO RYDER'S GONNA STOMP A MUDHOLE IN ROSELYN PRIDE'S ASS AND WALK IT DRY!!

[Jr.:] ...

[Visper:] What?

[Jr.:] What the fuck was that? That's the stupidest fucking thing I've ever heard anyone say.

[Visper:] You know, that means so little coming from you.

The referee forces Jo back again, admonishing her for not giving a clean break and giving Roselyn a chance to get back to her feet. Jo goes around the referee and connects with a downward fist to the forehead of Roselyn Pride. Jo grabs hold of Roselyn and pulls her out of the corner, putting the breaks on and bringing Roselyn back into the corner, chest-first. Roselyn bounces back out of the corner and Jo Ryder grabs on with a rear waistlock, bringing Roselyn to the mat with a back takedown. Jo floats over into a side headlock, with gets a bit of marking out from the crowd who mistakes it for an attempt at the Ryder Crossface.

[Visper:] Jo Ryder is working with a very ground-based game plan here. She knows that Roselyn can't keep up with her amateur wrestling style, and she's going to use that fully to her advantage to completely dominate Pride, all the while weakening her up for the Ryder Crossface.

Roselyn works at Jo's lock around her head, trying to shove Ryder off of her, but is unsuccessful as Jo continues to wrench the lock in. Roselyn's legs begin flailing, and she eventually twists her lower body around so that she gets a foot into the ropes. The referee, again forcing a clean break, gets to his 4-count before Jo lets up. The referee keeps Jo back away from Roselyn long enough to let her back to her feet. Roselyn charges toward Jo, but Jo brings her down with the smoothest damn headlock takedown you've ever seen. Jo keeps the headlock in, once again working Roselyn's neck, as Roselyn begins trying to shove Ryder off of her, getting her hands right under Jo's chin and maybe going for a neck-breaking CRITICAL!. Jo keeps it locked tight, though, but Roselyn manages to get Jo forced back enough to kick her legs up and apply a headscissors Jo, forcing her to release the side headlock or risk having her neck broken. Roselyn keeps the headscissors applied, using her powerful - [moto note:] and secksay - legs to try and choke the very life out of Jo Ryder's lungs. Roselyn rolls onto her back, which adds an extreme amount of pressure to Jo's neck by placing her entire weight onto her head and neck. Jo pulls her legs in and uses her weight to flip down onto her knees, turning Roselyn down onto her face in the process. Jo gets to her feet, bending Roselyn so that her weight is on her face and neck, and holds Roselyn's legs down on her shoulders, kicking Roselyn swiftly in the sternum. Jo dumps Roselyn off of her shoulders and twists Roselyn around, locking in a butterfly lock!

[Visper:] Jo Ryder with a butterfly lock, trapping Roselyn in the center of the ring with not a damned place to go!

[Jr.:] Jo has obviously picked the focal point of her offense, using every move in her extensive arsenal to work on the neck and the shoulder of Roselyn Pride.

[Visper:] And if you'll also notice, Jo keeps going into these deeply-locked submission holds in an effort to dictate the pace of the match. As long as she is in control, and as long as she is able to have this match go as slow or as fast as she wants, there is no way in hell that Roselyn Pride will even stand a chance.

Jo keeps the butterfly lock kept in tight, planting her feet and bridging to add more pressure to the move. Roselyn's face begins twisting in pain, but she manages to take advantage of Jo's bridge, pushing herself backward and pulling Jo over her shoulder into a modified backslide pin; on-- not even a one-count!

Jo Ryder takes Roselyn down with a snap suplex, floats over into a front mount, and grabs Roselyn by the seat of her pants and pulling her up, resting Roselyn down on her own shoulders, and Jo begins bringing some heavy rights down into the face of Roselyn Pride.

[Jr.:] What a brutal attack from Jo Ryder! Roselyn Pride is completely defenseless against this attack from Jo Ryder, who has Roselyn Pride on her neck and shoulders while Ryder just smashes Roselyn's face in with closed fists!

Jo manages to get in about a half-dozen solid hits in before the referee forces her to back away. Roselyn takes the moment to get to her feet, but just as quickly as she's back up, Jo grabs hold of her and tosses her out of the ring over the top rope! Jo slides out of the ring in pursuit, kicking away at the back of Roselyn's neck. Jo pulls Roselyn to her feet and goes for the Irish whip into the corner, but Roselyn puts the breaks on, pulls Jo in, and gives her a big avalanche press on the outside! Roselyn picks Jo up and rolls her back into the ring, sliding in after her. Jo gets to her feet and Roselyn executes a standing switch, leveling Jo with a enzui lariat. Standing front facelock from Roselyn, and she executes the sheer drop brainbuster onto Jo Ryder. Roselyn pulls Jo to her feet, but a quick go-behind from Jo, and Jo hits a German suplex! Jo keeps the waistlock applied, pulls Roselyn back up, and hits two! The waistlock is still on tight, and Jo hits three, keeping the bridge; one, two, t-- Roselyn kicks out!!

Jo goes right back on the offensive, locking in a rear sleeper onto the downed Roselyn, rolling over onto her back while she applies bodyscissors and then rolling onto her side, all in one fluid motion.

[Visper:] Things like what we just witnessed are exactly why I feel that Jo Ryder is going to take this match, hands down. Roselyn Pride came from nowhere with a big move on Jo on the outside, and began taking control of the match. But, just as soon as she was in control, Jo comes right back at her, turning the tables right back around into her favor, and coming close to picking up the first decision of this match, which is now just seconds away from its 10th minute.

Roselyn starts trying to break out of the rear naked choke by swinging her elbow back into Jo's side, but with Jo's bodyscissors applied, Roselyn's not going anywhere. She notices this and begins working on breaking the grip that Jo Ryder's legs have applied tight around her waist, and begins driving her elbow into the knee of Jo Ryder. Roselyn manages to break the bodyscissors and immediately rolls herself and Jo back over, with Roselyn getting to a knee and forcing Jo to her feet. Roselyn begins driving her elbows into Jo's stomach, escaping from the sleeper hold! Roselyn takes to the ropes and tries to take Jo's head off with a gigantic lariat, but Jo ducks under and as Roselyn spins around from missing the lariat, she's met with a big knife's edge chop from Jo. Jo hits another, and another, and another, backing Roselyn up against the ropes before Irish whipping her across the ring, taking off of the ropes herself and connects with a big jumping front kick!

[Visper:] Woah! A running big boot from Jo Ryder! How... weird.

[Jr.:] Extremely surreal, to be sure.

Jo continues to assert herself in control of the match. Snap suplex to Roselyn, and she's pulled back to her feet and Jo begins to lay into her again with heavy chops, forcing Roselyn back into the corner. Jo grabs on tight and gives Roselyn a heavy Irish whip, dropping down as she releases Roselyn, sending her into the turnbuckles with a ton of speed, the rebound taking her right down to the mat.

[Visper:] And Jo continues to attack the body of Roselyn Pride, with the hard Irish whip smashing up her sternum some more, slowly breaking Roselyn Pride down so that she'll be easy pickings.

Jo gets back up and pulls Roselyn to her feet, lifting her up from behind into a vertical atomic drop position, but resting Roselyn down on the top turnbuckle. Jo climbs up behind her, but Roselyn begins fighting her off with elbows to the side of Ryder's head. Roselyn lets one fly wildly, it connects, and Jo goes flying off the ropes and to the mat below. Roselyn wastes no time in standing on the turnbuckle, and she flies off with a diving senton, connecting to the chest of Joann Ryder! Roselyn rolls over into a cover; one, two-- Jo Ryder kicks out!

[Jr.:] Roselyn Pride, very quick with that reversal, taking Jo Ryder completely by surprise. If Jo wants to continue dominating this match, then she's got to avoid making mistakes like that due to overconfidence.

Jo gets back to her feet quickly, but Roselyn was quicker, and wraps her hands around Jo's neck, lifting her up and attempting to choke the life out of her. The referee sees and begins his DQ count, Roselyn keeping it in until the 3-count, throwing Jo to the ground as she releases the choke. Neckbreaker from Pride, pulls Ryder to her feet, and begins laying into the red-headed psychologist with heavy downward chops to the chest. After three of these, Roselyn rears her arm back and reaches out, quickly getting her hands around the throat of Jo Ryder once again, blatantly choking her in front of the referee. The referee begins the DQ-count again, and Roselyn plays nice, letting go of the choke, only to snap Jo down to the mat with a modified STO, done almost like a legsweep lariat, driving her forearm across the throat of Jo Ryder. Roselyn goes right back to the choke, just squeezing the throat of Jo Ryder, trying to strangle the life from her body. The referee again begins the DQ-count, and Roselyn keeps the choke applied until the 4-count. Roselyn switches over into a front mount, grabbing Jo by her hair and pulling her head up, with Roselyn smashing Jo in the face with elbow. The referee begins admonishing Roselyn for pulling on Jo's hair, so Roselyn slams Jo's head down and reaches back around her neck, using Jo's neck to keep her tethered in as Roselyn repeatedly slams her elbow into the face of Jo Ryder.

[Visper:] Why isn't anyone stopping this?! What is that incompetent referee doing?!

[Jr.:] Well, what Roselyn is doing isn't illegal. She's not pulling hair or biting or using closed fists; it's completely legal in the context of this match.

[Visper:] That's complete bullshit!

[Jr.:] Rules is rules.

Roselyn grins in sick glee as she continues to smash Jo Ryder's face in with her elbow, quitting only after she's had her fill, switching over into a guillotine choke. Once again, the referee begins his DQ-count, forcing Roselyn to release the choke hold or risk being disqualified. Roselyn complies, finally getting off the mount. Roselyn pulls Jo back to her feet and drives her back down with a sheer drop brainbuster. Roselyn paces around, stalking Jo, and as she gets back up, Roselyn scores a faceplant DDT and rolls Jo right over into a double leghook back style pin; one, two, t-- Ryder kicks out!

[Visper:] And there's the resilience of Joann L. Ryder. Even after that brutal attack from Roselyn Pride, where Roselyn continuously tried to beat Jo Ryder senseless, Jo still manages to kick out of her assaults.

Ryder is back to her feet, but Roselyn is right there and ready for her, and Roselyn locks in the Cobra Clutch! She drops back down and applies bodyscissors, and she's now got Summon Suffering applied tight!

[Jr.:] SUMMON SUFFERING, IN THE CENTER OF THE RING, BAH GAWD ALMIGHTY!

Roselyn yells for Jo to just give up as she shakes her body, applying pressure and adding torque to the Cobra Hold. The referee is right beside Jo, asking if she gives up, but Jo is way too determined to bow out. She begins trying to break out of Summon Suffering much like Roselyn broke out of her rear naked clutch earlier in the match; driving her elbow into the knees, and breaking the bodyscissors. After a dozen or so elbows to the knee, Roselyn finally loosens the grip of her strong - [moto note:] and secksay - legs around her body, and Jo immediately breaks the bodyscissors, rolling to a side and getting back onto her hands and knees, with Roselyn at an awkward angle, but still above her, using her leverage to keep Jo locked in the Cobra Clutch. Jo gets to a foot, and then to two, with Roselyn still locked in behind her, but Jo breaks the tight grip of the Cobra Clutch and moves away from Roselyn, keeping Roselyn's hands locked with her, spinning around and pulling Roselyn into her, locking Roselyn Pride into a modified front choke hold!

[Visper:] And we see once again the versatility of Joann L. Ryder, as she manages to escape that devastating Bodyscissors Cobra Clutch that Roselyn Pride calls "Summon Suffering", twisting Roselyn's own hold against her, and locking in a front choke of her own. If he's watching, Alex Shelly probably just came in his own drawers.

[Jr.:] Why would he do that? He'd have to clean all those clothes again.

[Visper:] "Drawers" is another word for underwear, moron.

[Jr.:] Ooooh... Well, excuse me for not knowing your "hippety-hop" sang words, G-money-dawg.

[Visper:] I am going to kill you. And I am going to burn your body. And then I'm going to dump your ashes in the Hudson River. And not a jury in the world would convict me.

[Jr.:] You're such a kidder.

[Visper:] Yeah. Kidder. Of course. -gnashes teeth-

[Jr.:] Word.

Jo gives Roselyn some of her own medicine, giving Roselyn a nasty choking, with the referee counting her for a disqualification. Jo lets Roselyn go and grabs her arm, pulling the raven-haired girl to her feet and beginning to slam into her with some extremely heavy kesa-giri chops, simply beating Roselyn down with these downward chops to her neck and back. Jo bring Roselyn crashing to the mat with one last kesa-giri and lets go of Roselyn's arm. Jo stands over Roselyn and sits down hard on her back, reaching under her chin and applying a camel clutch. Jo switches over, applying an arm clutch to the camel clutch, and pulling really fucking hard at Roselyn's neck.

[Jr.:] Jo Ryder with a Steiner Recliner!!!

[Visper:] What? That's a stupid name for it. "Ryder Recliner", however, isn't stupid.

[Jr.:] That's even stupider. At least "Steiner Recliner" rhymes.

[Visper:] Yeah. Let's use that as a criteria for what's stupid and what isn't. Your idea is stupid, and you're stupid for suggesting it.

Jo releases the armlock camel clutch and stands up, taking a step back and bending down, applying a waistlock and pulling back hard, giving Roselyn a ground German suplex! Jo keeps the bridge; one, two, thr-- Roselyn kicks out!!!

[Jr.:] ROSELYN PRIDE KICKS OUT!!

[Visper:] Roselyn had to dig deep to kick out of that. We're nearly a half-hour into this match, and Roselyn has been on the recieving end of a brutal beating, and she still manages to kick out!

[Jr.:] Pure instinct, Visper. Instinct, and the will to win.

Jo pulls Roselyn to her feet and applies a waist lock once again, but Roselyn elbows Jo off, and hits a side Russian legsweep, locking in the Ground Octopus Hold; CALAMITY SYMPHONY~

[Jr.:] Calamity Symphony from Roselyn Pride! She'll use that Ground Octopus Hold to tear Jo Ryder apart if she can!

[Visper:] This is an extremely crucial time of this match. We're just a few seconds away from the halfway point of this 60-minute long match, and we still haven't seen a single decision be made. If Jo or Roselyn tap out to one of the other's submission moves, that will paint a target on them, giving them a huge disadvantage in this match.

Jo manages to break free of Roselyn's Calamity Symphony pretty quickly, getting back to her feet and stalking Roselyn as she gets to her feet with a shocked look on her face.

[Jr.:] Roselyn Pride seems to be dumbfounded at how Jo Ryder was able to escape the Calamity Symphony so quickly.

[Visper:] Well, Jo Ryder's been caught in that move so many times, there's no way that she couldn't have found a way to quickly escape it.

[Jr.:] But, does that mean that the same will go for the Ryder Crossface?

[Visper:] Well, we'll have to wait until Jo uses the move to see.

Roselyn sweeps her hair out of her face, and Jo and Roselyn rush for each other, brawling in the center of the ring. Jo mixes it up with some big backward chops, but Roselyn puts an end to it with a big knee to the midsection. Roselyn begins slamming Jo with big forearms to the head of Jo Ryder. She pulls Jo back to her feet and whips her to the ropes, taking to the other side of the ring herself and hitting Jo with a devastating jumping knee kick right in the face. Roselyn reaches back down and begins choking Jo, yelling obscenities at her. The referee forces Roselyn off, allowing Jo the chance to get back to her feet. Roselyn grabs Jo and whips her to the ropes again, catches her with a scruff buster, and floats right into the pin; one, two, thre-- JO KICKS OUT!!!

Roselyn doesn't take kindly to that, pulling Jo back up and applying a standing front facelock. Roselyn starts off by smashing her knee into the face of Jo Ryder a few times, switches to clubbing Jo across the back with her forearms, and then lifts Jo up and gives her another sheer drop brainbuster. Roselyn takes to the ropes and hits Jo with a sliding dropkick to the head, causing Jo to roll around, clutching her head. Roselyn gets to her feet, smiling a sick and sadistic smile.

[Visper:] I've noticed something here. Whenever Roselyn gets in any offense, she doesn't really seem to be softening a body part up for one of her submission moves. All she seems to do is either choke Jo Ryder, or hit her head. The running knees, the sheer drop brainbusters... I don't think she's trying to win this match, I think she's trying to follow up on her word and try to seriously injure Jo Ryder.

[Jr.:] That very well could be, Jo. Roselyn does have an extremely deep hatred for Jo, and it could certainly end tonight with Jo being sent to the hospital and not coming back.

[Visper:] Don't you even fucking kid about that, you bastard.

Roselyn pulls Jo back to her feet and applies the standing front facelock again, and Jo from nowhere snaps into a northern lights suplex! One, two, thre-- ROSELYN PRIDE KICKS OUT, THIRTY-FOUR MINUTES INTO THE MATCH!

Jo and Roselyn are both down, with the referee beginning his double count...

1...
2...
3... Jo begins pushing herself to her feet...
4...
5...
6... Jo gets to a knee...
7... and now back to her feet, ending the count.

Jo pulls Roselyn back to her feet and begins laying in with some chops, forcing her back into the corner. Jo doesn't quit there, hitting some extremely hard chops in the corner. Roselyn bursts out, grabbing Jo and slamming her into the corner, laying into her former adviser and overseer with some heavy chops of her own. Jo returns the favor to Roselyn, grabbing onto Roselyn and driving her chest-first into the corner. Jo hits hard with a forearm to the kidneys of Roselyn, and then picks her up into that vertical atomic drop and sets her on the top turnbuckle. Jo follows up and locks in a rear waistlock, but Roselyn reaches back and rakes Jo's eyes. Jo manages to keep hold of the top rope, but Roselyn turns around and smashes Jo's face into the top turnbuckle, grabs Jo and sets her on the top turnbuckle along with her, and then Roselyn somehow slides around Jo, locking her knees on the top rope and applying a rear waistlock of her own, pulls back, and sends Jo smashing into the mat neck-first with the APOCALYPSE!!!

[Jr.:] BAH GAWD!! SPIDER GERMAN SUPLEX FROM ROSELYN PRIDE, AND JO RYDER MIGHT'VE BEEN BROKEN IN HALF BY THAT MOVE!!!!

Roselyn's not done there. She stands on the turnbuckle and flies off, delivering the Serpent's Embrace!!

[Jr.:] THAT JEZEBEL ROSELYN PRIDE WITH THAT DIVING HEADBUTT, SHADES OF THE DYNAMITE KID!!

[Visper:] She calls it "Serpent's Embrace", and that's about as fitting as titles get! Roselyn Pride certainly is a snake!

Roselyn and Jo are both down and out from the looks of it, but as the referee begins his double KO-count, Roselyn slides over and drapes her arm over Jo's body; one, two, thre KICKOUT~!!!!!!!

The crowd erupts as Jo kicks out of the Spider German Suplex-to-Diving Headbutt combination, starting up a "THAT'S HARDCORE!!" chant that just echoes through the arena.

Roselyn manages to maintain control of the match, pulling Jo to her feet and giving her an avalanche press. Roselyn takes to the corner again, standing out facing the crowd on the middle rope, and she begins bouncing on the middle rope, looking for the reverse splash, but Jo explodes to her feet and hooks Roselyn up and gives her a Super Ryder Slam!

[Visper:] SUPER RYDER SLAM!! If Jo Ryder can make the cover here, then she'll score the first decision of this match right here and now!!

[Jr.:] My god! If you're paying attention to the timer, this match is now at the 40-minute mark! 40 minutes into this match, and not a single decision has been rendered!

[Visper:] This is insane! These two are just completely beating the hell out of each other, but they keep coming back for more!!

Jo and Roselyn are both completely wiped out. The referee begins his count...

1...
2...
3...
4...
5...
6... Jo grabs onto the bottom rope...
7...
8... Jo uses the bottom rope to pull herself out of the ring, ending the count.

Jo takes a moment to try and regain some strength. The referee starts up the ring-out count. Jo slides back into the ring at 17, and Roselyn is still down. Jo begins stomping at her prone body, using the ropes for leverage and balance. Jo pulls Roselyn to her feet and hooks her up for the Ryder Slam, starting it up but Roselyn somehow grabs onto the top rope and as Jo follows through with the Ryder Slam, Roselyn gets dumped over the top rope, and she brings Jo Ryder with her!!

[Visper:] JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH!! Roselyn blocks the Ryder Slam, but ends up sending them both over the top rope, tumbling over the top rope!!!

Roselyn and Jo land sick on the outside. The referee begins his 20-count, but Roselyn and Jo aren't moving. Once the referee gets to 10, the crowd begins counting along with him. Jo starts rolling around at the 15-count, but the referee gets to 20 before Roselyn can do much beyond that!

Jo Ryder wins a fall by count out
Roselyn Pride wins a fall by count out
Fall time: 44.53
Overall time: 44.53
Roselyn Pride 1 - Jo Ryder 1

[Visper:] A double count-out! We're forty-five minutes into the match, and the first decisions are made by double count-out!

[Jr.:] Proof positive that these two have absolutely beaten the living hell out of each other over the past forty-five minutes.

[motosada]

The referee waits the necessary 15-second break between falls, and then begins counting the two out again. Jo manages to slide into the ring at the 9-count, and rolls just a couple feet into the ring, catching her breath as the referee continues to count. Roselyn somehow manages to get back to her feet and slides in at the 19-count, just a half-second before begin counted out once again. Jo sees her coming back into the ring and gets back up, going right back to work. She kicks Roselyn in the face, causing a nasty whiplash of Roselyn's head, and then pulls her to her feet, giving her a very hard Irish whip into the corner, smashing her right back out and down to the mat. Jo gets back to her feet as Roselyn rolls around on the mat, holding her chest. Jo pulls Roselyn back up and delivers a snap suplex, pulls Roselyn up once again, grabs her from behind, and scores a release German suplex. Roselyn is once again pulled to her feet, and Jo applies a hammerlock to Pride, rushing the corner and slamming Roselyn shoulder-first into the turnbuckle. Jo keeps the hammerlock applied, giving Roselyn a facecrusher!

[Visper:] What a unique offensive move from Jo Ryder! Hitting that one-handed bulldog while having a hammerlock applied. Not only is Roselyn's face smashed into the mat, but her shoulder gets wrenched as well from being driven right into the mat.

Jo keeps the momentum in her favor, pulling Roselyn to her feet once again and working the shoulder of Roselyn Pride with armwrenches and shoulder pats. Another hard Irish whip from Jo sends Roselyn flying hard into the corner, smashing out right into a release German suplex from Jo Ryder! Jo Ryder is in the driver's seat, and starts stalking Roselyn Pride. Roselyn gets up and turns around, and Jo Ryder brings her right down into the Ryder Crossface!

[Jr.:] BAH GAWD RYDER CROSSFACE IS APPLIED!!!

[Visper:] FIFTY MINUTES into the match, and we see the first appearance of the Ryder Crossface! Jo has to be confident that the Crossface will get the job done against Roselyn Pride and put her into a 1-fall lead over Roselyn Pride, with just less than ten minutes to go in this Ironwoman match!

Visper is dead wrong, however, as Roselyn somehow slinks right out of the Ryder Crossface. She gets to her feet, the same smug look on her face that Jo had when she escaped Roselyn's Calamity Symphony. Jo looks shocked, just as Roselyn did, but Jo gets right up and the two begin brawling again. Jo doesn't fuck around this time out, however, and rakes the eyes of Roselyn Pride. Roselyn is whipped into the corner, and Jo picks her up in a lifting takedown, but sets her on the top rope once again, this time facing to the inside of the ring.

[Jr.:] Going for these avalanche-style moves hasn't worked in the past for Jo Ryder, maybe she thinks that the third time is the charm.

Jo applies a front facelock, bringing Roselyn's arm over her neck, and tries for a second rope superplex, but Roselyn has a grip on the top rope with her free hand. Jo tries again, but Roselyn isn't budging. Roselyn frees herself from the front facelock and catches Jo with an open palm blow, pulling her in before she falls off and scooping her up, much like a body slam, but setting her up for a super tombstone piledriver!!! Roselyn leaps off and delivers the super tombstone piledriver, going for the pin; one, two, three!!!

Roselyn Pride wins a fall by pinfall
Time: 8:01
Overall time: 53.09
Roselyn Pride 2 - Jo Ryder 1

[Jr.:] A SUPER TOMBSTONE PILEDRIVER FROM ROSELYN PRIDE PICKS UP A THREE-COUNT, AND BRINGS HER INTO THE LEAD!!

[Visper:] Calm the hell down, Lann! Jesus! You don't need to scream so loud!

[Jr.:] I'm just excited is all.

[Visper:] Well, at any rate, Roselyn Pride and Jo Ryder both have 15 seconds to recover before the next fall can begin. That's not much time when you just got dropped on your head.

Jo gets up and looks toward the scoreboard, in complete disbelief at what just happened. She begins yelling at the referee, and he tries to explain what just happened, but Jo is MAD AS HELL and I don't think she's going to take it any more.

Jo walks with a damned PURPOSE over to the prone Roselyn Pride and LIFTS her to her feet. GERMAN SUPLEX! Jo keeps the waistlock applied and pulls Roselyn back up; TWO GERMAN SUPLEXES!! And Jo continues to have the waistlock applied; TRIIIIIIIPLEEEEE GERMAN SUPLEX! Jo rolls right over, with the waistlock still on tight; FOUR GERMAN SUPLEXES!! The crowd goes fucking insane as Jo Ryder pulls Roselyn up to her feet with the rear waistlock still on tight as ever, delivering a FIFTH GERMAN SUPLEX!! AND JO ROLLS RIGHT BACK UP, HITTING A SIXTH GERMAN SUPLEX BY GOD ALMIGHTY!!!!

[Jr.:] BAH GAW--

[Visper:] Yeah. HE JUST SAID THAT!

[Jr.:] Oh. Sorry.

[Visper:] Jo knows that she doesn't have much time left, and she's going to win this match, even if she has to break Roselyn Pride in half in the process!

Jo Ryder STILL hasn't finished, OR released the rear waistlock! Jo Ryder with the SEVENTH GERMAN SUPLEX IN A ROW!!! And she's going for EIGHT!! Jo's back up, and Roselyn's not happy to be right there with her, but Jo doesn't give a fuck, sending Roselyn up and over for German suplex NUMBER EIGHT!

[Jr.:] If Jo Ryder's going to get something out of this massive chain of German Suplexes, she better do it quick! She's just wearing down her time right now, and that's just playing right into Roselyn Pride's hand.

Jo and Roselyn are back up, but they're sure as hell not doing the Waltz. Roselyn recieves her NINTH German suplex in the chain, but she must want more! And even if she don't, who the fuck cares? Jo brings Roselyn up once again, and hits German suplex NUMBER TEN~!!!! Jo goes for a bridge this time, looking for a pin, but she can't hold the bridge and falls down before the referee can even get in position for the pin.

[Jr.:] And THAT is EXACTLY what I was talking about! Jo's been more concerned about giving Roselyn Pride an all-you-can-eat German suplex buffet, that when the time came to actually reap the benefits, Jo couldn't because she'd worn herself out. I didn't think I'd say this, but a very stupid, rookie mistake by the veteran Jo Ryder.

[Visper:] Don't count Jo out just yet. This match still has just over two minutes left.

Jo takes a moment to get back up, and takes a second to rest in the corner. Roselyn Pride is in the center of the ring, and as she rolls over and begins to get back to her feet, Jo strikes, bursting out of the corner and locking in the Ryder Crossface! The crowd explodes as the Crossface is locked in, and Roselyn Pride has nowhere to go!!

[Visper:] SEE?! There it is; the devastating Ryder Crossface that Jo Ryder has been working Roselyn Pride's neck and shoulder for the entire match!

Jo has that Ryder Crossface locked in tight, and she's going to tear Roselyn Pride up to hell to make her tap out. The crowd rumbles as Roselyn stays in the Ryder Crossface, struggling and raising her arm, looking like she going to tap, but she begins trying to pull off the facelock that Jo Ryder has on.

[Jr.:] Roselyn Pride is not giving up! Jo Ryder has already had the Ryder Crossface locked in for over a half minute! There's only a minute left in the match now!

[Visper:] Roselyn'll tap. She'll tap, dammit! This match might go into overtime, but Jo will go right for the Crossface once again and Roselyn'll tap like Shirley fucking Temple.

[Jr.:] What?

[Visper:] Shirley Temple. She was a tap dancer. I was making a joke.

[Jr.:] Ahh... okay. Gotcha. That's a pretty good one, Visper.

[Visper:] God, please kill him now. Please?

Jo keeps pulling back farther and farther, bending Roselyn back and nearly breaking her neck in the process, but Roselyn absolutely REFUSES to submit!

[Visper:] Jo Ryder has had the Ryder Crossface locked in for one full minute, and Roselyn Pride is still refusing to submit! She's just going to let Jo Ryder run out the clock! This is a travesty of justice!

[Jr.:] It's like I said, Visper. Jo shouldn't have spend all that time hitting those German suplexes. If she'd just hit a few, done a Ryder Slam, and gone into the pin, she'd have easily gotten the three-count, and we'd either be heading into sudden-death overtime, or Jo would've somehow managed to get another quick three-count to win it.

Roselyn's got her hand raised high, looking like she's about to submit, and this gives Jo the drive to pull back as hard as she possibly can on the Ryder Crossface, screaming bloody freakin' murder as she does. Roselyn raises her hand just a bit, and just as it looks like she's about to finally tap, the buzzer sounds! Time's up!!

Time has expired
Roselyn Pride wins by points
Roselyn Pride 2 - Jo Ryder 1

Roselyn Pride wins the Best of Seven Series against Joann Ryder.
Roselyn Pride 4 - Joann Ryder 3

[Jr.:] AND BY NOT SUBMITTING TO THE RYDER CROSSFACE, ROSELYN PRIDE WINS THE HISTORIC BEST OF SEVEN SERIES! BAH GAWD WHAT AN ENDING TO AN AMAZING MATCH!!!

[Visper:] Well, I certainly have to give Roselyn credit. Jo Ryder had her in the Ryder Crossface for nearly a minute and a half, and Roselyn didn't submit. Roselyn's either extremely tough, or extremely stupid.

As the buzzer sounds, Roselyn still refuses to tap, but Jo instinctively releases the Ryder Crossface. She stands up and looks around in disbelief as My Last Breath begins playing over the PA system, and Jo flips out, kicking the ropes and grabbing the referee by his shirt, demanding to know what the hell happened. As he spends a few moments explaining it to her, Roselyn pulls herself out of the ring and celebrates her ULTIMATE VICTORY over Jo Ryder as she walks up the ramp, arms raised in victory, but wincing at the massive pain in her neck and shoulder from being in the Ryder Crossface for a minute and a half.

[Visper]: Even though it hasn't been made official, one would have to assume that this match is for the de facto number one contendership.

[Jr.]: I'm not sure what de facto means, but I am sure about one thing-- this match is gonna be a SLOBBERKNOCKER!

<ReD.SvS>
<<Singles Match>> [greatmalenko187]
Matt Shane
vs.
"Wanderer" Gene Starr

As the bell rings, this match DOESN'T start off with a test of strength like most do. As a matter of fact, none took place throughout this entire match. Instead, it begins with Matt Shane scooping Gene Starr up, and slamming him down. Gene's up quick, but finds himself back on his ass just as quick from another body slam. Matt moves behind quickly, and lands a big reverse DDT before screaming out "YEAH!" to the fans and pumping his fist.

[Jr.]: BAH GAWD Shane's wasting little time here, we're barely thirty seconds into it and he just leveled Gene Starr with a high impact move!

[Visper]: Yeah... I'm kinda surprised Shane was able to pull something like that off this early against Gene.

Gene's not down long though, and he doesn't look as much surprised as he does pissed. Matt goes for a right hand, and Gene shrugs it off and body slams Shane right over the top rope and to the floor!

[Jr.]: That more like what you were expecting?

[Visper]: Actually, yeah.

Gene rubs the back of his head, trying to shake off the effects of the DDT while Shane holds his back out on the floor. He slides back in around the count of nine, and they lock up collar and elbow style in the center of the ring. Gene forces Shane over into the ropes, but Matt powers Gene around, trading positions, he lets go of the tie up and hits an elbow to the gut, whipping Gene across to the far side. He goes for a dropkick on the rebound, but Gene grabs the top rope and Shane crashes to the mat. Gene rushes forward, but Matt springs off the mat into a deep arm drag. He tries to follow with a legdrop, but Gene avoids it and Matt lands on his ass. Gene goes for a kick to the spine, but Matt avoids it and takes him down with a single leg trip, going for a lateral press, but Gene kicks out before the ref even can begin to count and both men are up in a standoff. The crowd gives them a healthy round of applause, 'cause indy crowds are suckers for a good standoff.

[Jr.]: What a sequence, neither of these HOSSES will budge an inch!

[Visper]: What exactly IS a hoss, anyway? It sounds like some kind of barnyard animal.

[Jr.]: That's two hosses in the ring! Big and tough, like two bulls!

[Visper]: So a hoss is a bull?

[Jr.]: A HOSS is a HOSS!

[Visper]: You have no idea, do you?

[Jr.]: Uhh... look! The HOSSES are HOSSING it up again!

They tie up again, but it does no good, so they break it off, and Gene goes for a left hand. Shane blocks, and scores with a right hand, but Gene comes back with a right hand of his own, and follows it up with a snap suplex. He lifts Shane up, and starts to set him up for a shin breaker, but Matt fights back with back elbows to the face, and a standing switch. He goes for a German, but Gene shifts his weight in mid air and lands on top of him. Gene rolls off, lifts Shane up, and hits the shin breaker quickly.

[Visper]: Looks like Gene might be working the leg for the Vagrant Stretch.

[Jr.]: Not to mention that taking out Shane's legs would also take away his high flying offense!

[Visper]: Sometimes, even you make good points. But I still wanna know what a hoss is.

-silence-

Gene does in fact go for the Vagrant Stretch, but Shane uses his leg strength to push him away, long enough to surprise Gene with an inside cradle, but he barely gets one and a half. Both men are up at the same time, Shane ducks a lariat, and hits his German! But he's not done... he floats over, hooks the arms, and hits a Tiger Suplex!

[Visper]: Delphin Special 3!

[Jr.]: BAH GAWD that could be all she wrote!

1... 2... no, kickout! Gene kicked out at a flat two, and is actually on his feet first! He's waiting behind Shane... Matt turns around, and walks right into a FIYAH THUNDAH! It's Gene's turns to yell to the crowd now, and he gives them a thumbs up as Shane slowly staggers to his feet. Gene off the ropes, and he explodes with a vicious lariat!

[Jr.]: HE NEARLY TOOK SHANE'S HEAD OFF HE MIGHT BE BROKEN IN HALF!!!

Gene covers, and Shane's BARELY able to kick out before the count of three! Gene takes off the elbow pad, and hits the ropes again... he tries another lariat, but Matt's able to duck it, and he reaches back, pulling Gene down with a modified shoulder neckbreaker! He climbs slowly to the top, and stops for a moment to try and shake out the cobwebs before launching himself off with a 450 splash! It connects, but Gene's foot is underneath the bottom rope, so there's no count!

[Jr.]: That might have been it if Matt had paid better attention to how close Gene was to the rope!

[Visper]: Well, he's probably still not thinking to clearly after that lariat. It was so hard he was probably concussed BEFORE his head bounced off the mat like that.

Matt's slow to get up, but Gene's not quick to stir himself... Matt goes for another neckbreaker, but Gene keeps turning until he has Shane in a front facelock, and drops him with a rapid DDT.

[Jr.]: BAH GAWD both men are down!

The referee's started his ten count, and neither man even starts to move until five... Gene's able to get to his feet by about seven and a half, and Matt staggers up at nine. Gene hits a kick to the gut, and goes for a suplex, but Shane floats over and hits a German! He's barely able to maintain the bridge but Gene kicks out at one! He screams out, and plants Shane with the Outlaw's Edge! But his burst of energy dies out, and he falls back to the mat!

[Visper]: Starr needs to make a cover, Shane looks out cold!

Gene finally manages to drape an arm across Shane's chest, and the crowd counts along-- 1! ...... 2! ...... THREE! NO! NO! 2.9! Shane got the shoulder up!

[Jr.]: He kicked out, he kicked out!

The referee starts another ten count, and this time both men are up around eight. Matt starts to fall backward, and stumbles into the ropes. Gene charges at him for another lariat, but Matt counters by hitting a belly to belly that sends Gene over the top!

[Jr.]: GOOD GAWD!

[Visper]: Gene just kept rotating, and landed face-first!

[Jr.]: Look! What's Shane doing?!

Shane's hitting the ropes, and flying through the air with the Sayama Special! He takes Gene out, and almost does the same to a camera man! He picks Gene up, and hits a German with the bridge, but there's no count on the floor in this one! He finally collapses from exhaustion at around the count of 5, and starts to tries and pick Gene up. But Starr shoves him into the guardrail, and has yet another second wind, hitting the Fire Thunder on the floor!

[Jr.]: SOMEBODY STOP THE DAMN MATCH! MATT SHANE'S DEAD!

[Visper]: Shut up, I'm watching him breathe... He's still alive, even if it's not by much.

Gene's measuring him now, and slapping his thigh signaling for the Vagabond Kick.... Shane's up, and he ducks the kick! He goes behind, and hits the Punk Drop on the concrete floor! He rolls Starr in at the count of 17, and picks him up, hitting a rapid Punk Plex! The shoulders are down, 1... 2... 3!

[Jr.]: IT'S OVER! MATT SHANE JUST OUT-HOSSED GENE STARR!

[Visper]: What the hell's a hoss?!

Matt Shane wins via pinfall
Time: 13.08
Rating: 70%

[Visper:] Our next match is quite possibly one of our most anticipated matches ever. A first for not only NDP, but for professional wrestling as well, this is a Five-Way Elimination Rules Ladder Match for the NDP Light-Heavyweight Championship.

[motosada]

[Jr.:] The rules follow pretty much every other Ladder Match ever, but the devil is in the details as they say. The match is still over when one of the participants climbs up the ladder to claim the NDP Light-Heavyweight Championship hanging from the rafters. But, up to three of the participants of this match may be eliminated from the match by pinfall, submission, count out, or knock out.

[Visper:] The elimination rules bring a lot of strategy to the match, because you'll have to take opportunities when they come to you, or else you could find yourself on the way to the back.

[Jr.:] And this will certainly work against two of the contestants; Colleen Dramesi and Chris•Chris, who were both in very brutal matches earlier in the night. They've both had over an hour to gather their strength and heal between their matches and this one, but that almost certainly won't be enough.

[Visper:] We'll just have to see. You'll also notice that Aika's usual ringside toy, the NDP Champion Flip Staley, isn't at ringside along with Aika. That's because NDP officials have decided that no-one will be allowed at ringside during this match. A very good decision, if you ask me.

[Jr.:] Oh, absolutely. It would certainly be a shame to have a match of this caliber to end in a bad way.

<ReD.LHWC>
<< Light-Heavyweight Championship FATALER Five-Way Elimination Ladder Match>> [motosada]
Colleen Dramesi
vs.
"Asian Sensation" Aika Sugiyama
vs.
"Divine" Kristin Blade
vs.
"The Dualstar" Domino
vs.
"Purple Ninja" Chris•Chris

The bell rings and this one is underway! The match almost immediately splits off into Colleen vs Domino and Kristin vs Aika, with Chris•Chris smack dab in the center of it. Chris, taking no one's side, assists Aika in a double team powerbomb onto Kristin before taking Colleen Dramesi down with a hip toss. Aika with a side buster on Kristin, turning around into a high angle body slam from Chris. Colleen, Aika, and Chris hit a triple dropkick on Kristin, knocking her outside the ring between the ropes! Kristin gets back in quickly, right into a cyclone whip from Aika. Colleen is whipped into the corner by Domino, and the Dualstar and the Purple Ninja smash Colleen with a double turnbuckle clothesline!

[Visper:] We're only a minute and a half into this match, and already things are crazy. Domino with a step enzuigiri to Aika, Colleen with a knuckle arrow to Chris•Chris, followed by a o-soto-gari, and as Chris gets back to his feet, Kristin takes him down with a swoop backdrop. Domino with an armwringer takedown to Aika, and she locks in a cross armbar, only for Aika to escape out of it extremely quickly and give her a nasty dropkick to the face. Aika with a swinging neckbreaker on Chris, as Domino whips Kristin into the corner. Domino turns out of the corner into a double team suplex from Aika and Colleen, who bring Domino to her feet and whip her to the ropes, taking her back down with a double lariat.[/i]

[Visper:] Aika Sugiyama and Colleen with some early teamwork here in this match. A good strategy here in place by the two of them. Weaken their opponents up with a lot of double teams so that it'll be that much easier when it's time to go in for the kill.

Chris comes in flying, taking down both Aika and Colleen with a springboard cross body block, and taking Kristin down with a water wheel takedown as she charges him out of the corner. With all his opponents down, he slides out of the ring and claims the ladder, folding it up and laying it on the apron, only for Aika and Colleen to hit a double baseball slide, kicking the ladder right into his face!

[Jr.:] Ooh, what a shot to Chris•Chris. I'm sure that having a ladder smashed into his face wasn't on his "to do" list today.

Aika and Colleen head outside to collect the ladder, with Chris fighting them both off. Inside the ring, Domino catches Kristin charging at her and hits a northern lights suplex, rolling the bridge backward and locking in a big cross armbar! The Moonlight Seduction is applied to Kristin, but the referee can't count a fall because he's more worried about Chris, Colleen, and Aika out the outside!

Eh, no big deal. Kristin isn't tapping. But, whatever.

Kristin frees herself from the Midnight Seduction, but Domino gives her a shoulder armbreaker and takes to the ropes and hitting the Dualsault across Kristin's back! On the outside, Chris hits Aika with a sleeper suplex before catching Colleen with a solebutt, grabbing the ladder and smacking the young Dramesi across the back with it. Chris brings the ladder into the ring at the referee's 12-count, and Aika is back in right after him. Chris knocks her down with a hip toss and tries to apply the Strangle Hold Alpha, but Colleen breaks it up with a springboard dropkick to the inside! Colleen and Aika double team Chris•Chris with a big double suplex, landing him right across the ladder! With Chris taken care of for the moment, Aika and Colleen return their attention to Kristin and Domino.

Aika comes at Domino with a center roundhouse, but Domino catches it and brings Aika down into a reverse heel cross! Aika breaks free when Colleen kicks Domino hard in the side of the head, and Aika recovers just in time to duck under an Enhancekick from Kristin Blade! Snap suplex from Sugiyama to Blade as Domino is tossed into the ropes by Colleen. Domino comes rolling back, but Colleen takes her down to the mat with a sharp o-soto-gari. Snapmare from Colleen, setting up for a soccer ball kick that resonates through the arena! Domino is pulled back to her feet and takes Colleen down with an armbreaker takedown, as Kristin gives Aika a HUGE piledriver!

All four ladies are taken down big time, however, as Chris•Chris comes off the ropes, ladder in hand, and smashes into all of them! Chris takes the opportunity to set the ladder up, but he can't even begin to climb before Colleen gets up and gives him a rear neckbreaker! Kristin and Aika manage to get to their feet, but Kristin is the first to act, giving Sugiyama a shoulder neckbreaker and going for the cover; one, two, t-- KICKOUT!!

Colleen gives Domino a pendulum backbreaker, and another, before Chris knocks her down with a rolling solebutt. Chris takes a quick look around, and slaps the STF on Domino!

[Guy in the third row:] THE "F" IS FOR "FUCKING!!!"

Domino gets out of the STF with a well-timed punch to the jaw. She gets up and just starts bitching everybody out with her spinning backfist, taking down Aika, Colleen, and Kristin. She pulls Colleen to her feet and gives her a big facecrusher, pulls her back up, but Colleen drives her knee into Domino's gut and goes for a double arm DDT only for Domino to slide out and turn it into a backslide! One, two, thr-- KICKOUT!!!

Kristin begins taking Aika to the cleaners, giving her a big rush of lightning-fast punches and kicks, but Aika ducks under a back spinning crescent kick and Kristin pays for it as Aika gives her a big dropkick to the back, knocking her into the ladder, and knocking the ladder down. Chris is there to give Aika what-for, with a big shoulder lock enzuigiri. Aika gives Chris a big arm drag, followed by Colleen giving him an arm drag. Aika takes Kristin down with a swinging neckbreaker as Colleen gives Domino a neck smash, taking to the ropes and hitting Domino with a running elbow drop. Body slam from Domino to Chris•Chris, she takes Colleen down with a flying heelkick, as Aika begins tearing Kristin up with a big series of kicks. Aika whips Chris into the corner, sets him up top, and gives him a super frankensteiner. Colleen tries to follow that success, whipping Domino to the corner and going for a super backdrop, but Domino hits her with an elbow to the side of the head, gets up, and rolls over Colleen, bringing her down with a big sunset flip!! One, two, thr-- KICKOUT!!

Facecrusher from Domino to Colleen, and Kristin gives Aika a swoop backdrop. Domino turns around to Kristin and hits a toe kick and goes right into the BLACK TIGER BOMB!! One, two, three-- NO!! Kristin Blade kicked out!!!

Domino whips Aika into the corner and sets her up in the tree of woe. She starts kicking Aika in her side, but Colleen clobbers her from behind, grabs her and smashes her head into the same corner!

[Visper:] Oh, that's hot.

[Jr.:] Wait-- What?

[Visper:] Domino's head being smashed into Aika's crotch. That's hot. I think I may need to take a bathroom break here in a minute.

[Jr.:] That's... a bit more than I needed to know, thanks.

[Visper:] Anytime. Dumbass.

Domino falls out of the corner and Aika slips out of the tree of woe, falling right down on top of her. Ref drops to count the fall; one, two, thr-- Kickout!

Domino with a superkick on Chris•Chris, spinning backfist on Kristin Blade, front dropkick to Aika Sugiyama, hooks up the northern lights suplex on Colleen Dramesi, but when Domino rolls back to apply the armbar, Colleen hooks Domino's arms with her legs and hooks her in a sunset flip pin; one, two, three!!

Domino is eliminated by pinfall
Time: 13.22

[Visper:] Domino has been eliminated with a quick roll-up by Colleen Dramesi!

[Jr.:] That's not gonna make the folks back in Box Elder very happy. And it's got to piss Domino off.

Domino is, in fact, extremely livid, and decides to cross her t's and dot her i's with a superkick on Colleen Dramesi before leaving the ring. Chris•Chris goes for the quick pin on Colleen; one, two, thr-- KICKOUT!

Colleen decides she's had enough of Chris•Chris and runs him into the ladder, bouncing him off the steel ladder as it tumbles to the ground and hooking him up for some Blackjack! Chris looks like he's in a lot of pain, so Colleen bounces off the ropes and gives him a overhead flipping neckbreaker to add to it.

Meanwhile, Kristin Blade has Aika Sugiyama locked in a figure four, with Aika trying desperately to get to the ropes. When the ladder falls from Chris getting bounced off of it, it falls and smashes down onto Kristin, giving Aika the chances to escape the figure four!

[Visper:] Christ!! That 15-foot-tall ladder just fell onto Kristin Blade! She might be totally knocked out!

That's what Aika is counting on, knocking the ladder off of Kristin and rolling her up, hooking both legs; one, two, thre-- KICKOUT!!

Colleen pulls Chris back to his feet, and Chris breaks free, catching Colleen with an European uppercut and the throat thrust, and Chris•Chris starts going on a tear! Bloody Hatchet to Colleen Dramesi! Shaolin Cutter to Kristin Blade! Irish whips Aika Sigiyama to the ropes and connects with the Ode to Starman, taking to the ropes again and giving Aika the Purple Plunge! Chris walks over to the ladder and begins setting it back up, getting up two rungs before Kristin Blade manages to get up, catching him with a big forearm across the back, grabbing him and pulling him off the ladder!

[Jr.:] Chris•Chris almost had it there, but quick thinking and quicker actions from Kristin Blade saved the match-up.

Aika and Colleen begin getting back up as Chris gets an Enhancekick from Kristin Blade! Kristin is about to make the cover, but Colleen charges her and hits a Lou Thesz press knuckle, delivering a big set of punches to Kristin's jaw. The referee is trying to force Colleen off with the DQ count as Aika begins climbing the turnbuckle. Colleen lets off the Lou Thesz press knuckle as Aika takes off the top rope with the Deviant Splash on Chris•Chris!! Aika hooks the leg; one, two, three!!

Chris•Chris is eliminated by pinfall
Time: 17.24

[Visper:] Holy cow! Chris•Chris has been eliminated by the Deviant Splash! We haven't seen that move in months!!

[Jr.:] That match with Tranzfusion must've been a lot more taxing than he let on!

Both Aika and Colleen shoot a glance toward Kristin. Kristin gets up and taunts them both to bring it, and they do. Aika and Colleen charge, but Kristin rebounds off the ropes and comes at them, taking them both down with a big double clothesline. Kristin takes to the ropes again, hooks Colleen up in a head scissors whip but doesn't send Colleen flying just yet, swinging up-wards and hooking Aika up for a DDT, swinging downward and taking them both out with a very unorthodox headscissors!

[Visper:] What a move from Kristin Blade! I've never seen anything like that before!

[Jr.:] Very reminiscent of Black Tiger 2.

Kristin turns to the ladder and begins climbing up. She makes it half-way up the ladder when Aika gets to her feet and begins pushing the ladder over! Kristin leaps off and lands on Aika's shoulders, swinging around on her shoulders and giving Aika a Divinerana!!

[Jr.:] KRISTIN BLADE IS ON FIRE!!

Kristin turns around, right into a Spinning Chamber from Colleen Dramesi! Colleen goes into a cover; one, two, thr-- Kickout!!

Aika sets up the ladder, and Colleen spots her. The two begin arguing, and just before it erupts into a brawl, Kristin comes from behind Colleen and gives her a big two-handed bulldog! She gets to her feet and is looking pumped enough to do some breakdancing, but Aika charges, goes for a clothesline, but Kristin ducks and gives Aika a Corkscrew Slam!

Kristin begins climbing the ladder, but Colleen and Aika begin getting back to their feet nearly at the same time. Kristin spots them both and dives off the ladder, trying to take them out with a big cross body, but Aika and Colleen move out of the way and Kristin crashes and burns, big time!

[Visper:] Kristin's high-risk offense in this match finally caught up with her, and she just completely crashes and burns as Aika and Colleen get out of the way just in the nick of time. Aika and Colleen stare each other down, and the tension is thick. They begin talking to each other, trying to get the other to back off, and they erupt! Colleen begins forcing Aika back with a series of quick punches, backs Sugiyama into the corner, and begins laying in with some knuckle arrows that all hit their marks! Colleen with an Irish whip out of the corner, but Colleen only brings her out a few feet, hooking her up and giving her Blackjack! Colleen bounces off the ropes and comes at Aika with a big front flying dropkick to the face![/i]

[Jr.:] DROPKICK IN THE FAEC!!!

Colleen takes a long moment to recover. Once up, she heads to the ladder and begins climbing up very slowly. On the outside, Kristin Blade finally begins moving after having missed that cross body from the ladder. Colleen moves up another rung as Kristin gets to her feet, leaning on the apron. Aika begins to get up as well, and upon seeing Colleen slowly making her way up the ladder, a fire gets lit under her ass and she goes to the opposite side, beginning to climb up herself. Kristin Blade, meanwhile, makes it to the announcers position, forcing the timekeeper away as she grabs the chair from underneath him.

[Visper:] Uh-oh. Kristin Blade's got a chair in hand, and she's got some bad intentions.

[Jr.:] Well, all's fair in this match. I'm actually surprised that this is the first weapon to be pulled out so far.

Kristin slides into the ring and completely smashes Colleen Dramesi in the back with the chair, the impact of metal and (wo)man resonating throughout the arena. Colleen lands on the mat with a thud, and Kristin makes her way over to Aika, giving her a big smack across the back as well, and Aika drops to the mat with a thud as well. Kristin tosses the chair outside the ring, and pulls Aika to her feet. Kristin takes to the ropes and comes at Aika with a head full of steam, but Aika somehow manages to duck under the AXEY BOOMBAH~ attempt and hooks Kristin up for the Ai-Edge, hitting the move and leaving Kristin staring at the lights! Colleen begins stirring, and Aika helps her up, saying something to her. Aika helps her over toward Kristin, and the two begin picking the pink-clad girl back to her feet. Aika begins climbing the turnbuckle as Colleen holds Kristin in a full nelson. Aika's up top, looking to hit Kristin with the Fear of the Dark, but Kristin instinctively slips out of the full nelson and Colleen takes the big flying knee right in the face! Aika's flipping out because of the mistake! Kristin smashes her with a clubbing blow cross the back, but Aika just shoves her out of the way and into the ladder, and quickly goes for the cover on Colleen! One, two, thre-- KICKOUT!! Aika can't believe it, but Colleen believes it less! She gets to her feet, KICKWHAMSTUNNER!!!

[Jr.:] SIN CITY STUNNER TO AIKA SUGIYAMA!

[Visper:] Yep. That's what it was. Good job, Lann.

Colleen gets up and turns around to go for the cover, but Kristin Blade comes flying in from nowhere! Swinging Divinerana from Kristin Blade from near the top of the ladder! Colleen Dramesi has been thrown clear from the ring! Kristin and Aika begin getting back up near the same time, and they take a moment to catch their breath before spotting the ladder and the belt, and both take a side of the ladder and begin climbing!

[Visper:] And the race is on! Aika Sugiyama and Kristin Blade are literally racing for the gold right now!

[Jr.:] This one might be a photo finish!

Aika and Kristin make their ways up the ladder, and then they meet at the top, they start with the punchin'! Aika hits Kristin with a big right that almost sends her flying off the ladder, but Kristin manages to maintain her balance, and comes back at Aika with a forearm smash that nearly sends Aika off the top as well. Kristin takes this time to ascend another rung, and as soon as Aika recovers, she does the same thing. Aika and Kristin trade punches again, and Aika cocks back for a big right, only for Kristin to duck under and have her hooked like a body clutch slam! Kristin ascends one more rung, bringing Aika along with her, and takes a quick look behind her. Aika begins elbowing Kristin in the side of the head, trying to get out of the hold, but Kristin stops her with a golden right to her side. Kristin grabs Aika by the waist of her pants, brings her in close, and moonsaults off of the top of the ladder, smashing Aika down with extreme force to the mat!!!!!!!

[Visper:] DEAR GOD ALMIGHTY!! I dont' know WHAT in the HELL Kristin Blade just did, but I think she might've killed Aika Sugiyama and herself!!

[Jr.:] She had Aika hooked up in a body clutch slam, and then moonsaulted off the top of the ladder... That's one hell of a drop for a move like that, and I'll be surprised of either of them get up any time soon.

[Visper:] Have you ever seen anything like that?!

[Jr.:] Only once, from a guy named Frankie Kazarian. But it didn't look nearly that good or fluid.

Kristin Blade manages to get up just a couple seconds after hitting that huge moonsaulting body clutch slam. She looks back and sees Colleen Dramesi hanging on the apron. Kristin takes to the ropes and comes at Colleen, giving her a baseball slide and knocking her down and into the guard rail. Kristin gets back to her feet and begins climbing up the ladder.

[Visper:] Kristin Blade is making it up the ladder, totally unopposed!

[Jr.:] Kristin's got this one in the bag! That big... whatever the hell it was to Aika, and the baseball slide into the guardrail on Colleen have taken them both out of the match!

Kristin makes it to the top of the ladder and looks around, reaching up and grabbing the NDP Light-Heavyweight Championship and pulls it down from the top rung!

Kristin Blade becomes the Light-Heavyweight Championship by pinfall
Time: 26.51

[Jr.:] KRISTIN BLADE HAS DONE IT! KRISTIN BLADE HAS BECOME THE NDP LIGHT-HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!

[Visper:] An extremely hard-faught Ladder Match has ended in a victory for NDP's sweetheart, Kristin Blade!

Corrected plays in the background as Kristin takes a well-earned sit on the top of the ladder, as the crowd cheers on the new NDP Light-Heavyweight Champion.

[Visper:] And now, ladies and gentlemen, it's time for our main event!

[motosada]

[Jr.:] This should be an amazing match! Jason Wesley has built his way back up after losing to Flip Staley at our first-ever Supercard event, Wayward, and now he's got his shot at the NDP Championship once again!

[Visper:] Flip Staley certainly won't be letting go of it easily, however. If Jason Wesley has any sense about him, he'll have a contingency plan in mind.

[Jr.:] He'll also have to look out for the numbers game. Normally, Midori Kuwahara would be joining him at ringside, but after her match against Colleen Dramesi earlier in the night, she's not really fit to do anything that requires walking or moving.

<ReD.NDPC>
<< Championship Singles Match>> [motosada]
"CHAMPIFIED!" Jason Wesley
vs.
Champion Flip Staley (w/ Aika Sugiyama)

Flip and Jason circle each other for a moment, both very anxious to begin. Tie-up in the center, Flip forces Jason back into the corner, but the referee forces a clean break. Flip backs off to the center of the ring, Jason comes out of the corner and they tie-up again, this time Jason getting the leverage and forcing Flip back into the corner, but another clean break is forced. Jason backs off the corner, Flip comes out and the two tie up once again, and Flip shifts over into a side headlock. Jason tries to shove Flip off, but Flip has it locked in tight. Jason attempts to reverse the headlock into a back suplex, but Flip keeps his balance. Jason tries to shove Flip off into the ropes, but Flip puts the brakes on and Jason gets grounded right along with him. Flip shifts over into a front facelock, and starts burying his knee into Jason's shoulder.

[Visper:] A very smart move from Flip Staley. He's starting to work on the shoulder of Jason Wesley very early on, setting him up for that Buffalo sleeper that we've seen him developing over the past few weeks.

[Jr.:] An excellent strategy that will not only weaken up Jason Wesley later on in the match, but will also cause a lot of Jason's offense to backfire on him, since Jason uses a lot of lifting moves that will wrench his arm and shoulder.

The referee forces Flip off after a moment, and the NDP Champion releases the front facelock, stands up, and catches Jason in the chest with a stepping kick. Jason rests on his knees, clutching his chest, and Flip takes the opportunity to give him a dropkick right to the face. Jason gets back to his feet, and Flip takes him down with a cyclone whip. Jason gets back up and Flip grabs his arm, wrenching it and pulling him in while ramming Jason's shoulder with his own. Flip then switches over into a hammerlock, rushes the turnbuckle, and drives Jason's shoulder hard into the turnbuckle!

[Visper:] Mighty Hera! Flip Staley is being absolutely ravenous in his attack on Jason Wesley.

[Jr.:] Flip is bound and determined to walk away from this match tonight still the NDP Champ... Wait. "Mighty Hera"?

[Visper:] Yeah. What of it.

[Jr.:] It just.. doesn't seem like something you'd expect to hear.

[Visper:] Well, deal with it.

Flip pulls Jason out of the corner and Irish whips him into the ropes, but Jason comes barreling back and takes Flip down with a big shoulder block. Jason takes to the ropes again as Flip gets to his feet and the CHAMPIFIED! one takes down the NDP Champion with another shoulder block. Irish whip from Wesley, and Flip goes flying with a big back body drop! Jason Wesley begins laying into Flip Staley with some hard knife's edge chops, leaving Staley's chest redder than sunburn and forcing him into the corner, where Wesley beings to open up with a series of elbow smashes and knees to the gut.

[Visper:] Jason Wesley, in the blink of an eye, has turned this match around on the NDP Champion. If Jason can just keep this up, we may see the NDP Championship change hands tonight!

Jason with a vertical suplex out of the corner, waits for Flip to get back to his feet and takes him down with a big lariat. Jason Wesley with a cover; one-- NO WAY NO HOW!

Jason with a big DDT, pulls Flip back up and sets up a powerbomb whip, but Flip reverses into a hurricanrana; one, t-- KICKOUT!

Jason doesn't take kindly to his powerbomb being reversed, and whips Flip to the ropes, taking to them himself and catching Flip in the gut with a running toe kick. Jason hooks up the hunched-over Flip in a front facelock and applies a back roll neck lock, going for the early choke-out. Flip struggles in the hold, trying to roll over or somehow release the pressure, but Jason has the move locked in tight and Flip is going nowhere.

[Visper:] Jason Wesley now trying to slow the match down and give him the opportunity to pick Staley apart at his leisure.

[Jr.:] A sound strategy, but only if Wesley can make it work. If he's going to put Staley down, he has to do it and not get overconfident about it.

[Visper:] What's most surprising is that this CAPACITY CROWD here in Viking Hall is rallying behind the NDP Champion, trying to give him the support he needs to break out of this back roll sleeper!

The crowd is, indeed, rallying behind Flip Staley as Flip manages to get Jason off of him, still with the neck lock applied, but both of them to their knees. Flip begins going to work on Jason's sides, laying in with those brick-heavy punches to the ribs and sternum of Jason Wesley as Flip makes a desperate bid to escape. Flip manages to get to his feet and gets Jason off of him with a big spinebuster, driving Jason down big time! Flip hits a running facebuster, follows up with a back drop, and then takes Jason over with a snapmare before hitting a low dropkick to the back of Jason's head. Flip whips Jason to the ropes, but Jason hits Flip with the Double Jumping Knee, following up with a big shoulder armbreaker, and going for the back roll neck lock again, but Flip reverses it into a lifting takedown!

[Jr.:] Jason Wesley just tried to take control of the match back, but Flip Staley's having none of it!

[Visper:] Give it time, Lann. Just give it time. Jason Wesley isn't out of this match just yet!

Flip whips Jason to the ropes, but Jason reverses the Irish whip, only for Flip to hold on to the top rope. Jason rushes in, but Flip lifts him up and drops him on the top rope with a big Hot Shot! Flip grabs onto Jason and tosses him over the top rope, following him outside. Flip does the ol' SLOW CUT THROAT TAUNT and pulls Jason to his feet, giving him the Pike Street Cutter! Flip rolls back into the ring at the ref's 6-count, taking the referee and saying something to him as Aika Sugiyama strolls by Jason Wesley's prone body. She picks Jason up and applies a hammerlock, ramming Jason Wesley shoulder-first into the corner post just like Flip Staley had done earlier. Aika pulls Jason up and slams the arm down onto the apron before rolling him back into the ring and returning to the corner.

[Visper:] BLATANT CHEATING! Flip Staley should be DISQUALIFIED and Jason Wesley should be awarded the NDP Championship!

[Jr.:] What comes around goes around, as they say.

[Visper:] What in the hell is that supposed to mean?

[Jr.:] Karma.

[Visper:] ¬_¬ Karma?

[Jr.:] Yep. Karma.

[Visper:] Go away. You're giving me a migrane.

Flip Staley goes on the attack, stomping away at Jason's shoulder. Flip pulls Jason up and wraps his arm around the top rope, pulling hard and using the rope to add torque and pressure to the shoulder. Jason breaks free with a toe kick to Flip, and another, and another, and Jason takes Flip down with a hard lariat. Snap suplex from Jason, follows up with a big enzuigiri, and then hits a big rapid backdrop. Flip gets to his feet and Jason tries to hook the CHAMPIFICATION EFFECT!, but Flip slides out of it and hits the Staley Concept!!

[Jr.:] BAH GAWD STALEY CONCEPT!

[Visper:] And both men are down! This match could end with a double count-out!

The referee begins the count;

1...
2...
3... Flip rolls onto his side...
4...
5... Jason just jumps back to his feet!

Jason goes on the attack, kicking and stomping at Flip Staley. Jason pulls Flip to his feet and gives him one hell of a powerbomb whip, dropping down into a lazy cover; one, two, t-- KICKOUT!

Jason with an Ace crusher, follows up with a Dragon Suplex! One, two, th-- FLIP KICKS OUT!!

CHAMPIFICATION EFFECT!!!

[Jr.:] BAH GAWD CHAMPIFICATION EFFECT FROM NOWHERE!!

[Visper:] Quicker than you could blink, and Jason Wesley has this one in the bag!

Jason covers, hooking the leg; one, two, thre--- NO!! NO!!! KICKOUT!!!

Jason Wesley is beside himself! Jason drops down into a cover again; one, two, thre-- DENIED!!

Jason pulls Flip back up and looks again for the Champification Effect, but Flip slips out again and rolls Jason up in a small package; one, two, thr-- KICKOUT!!

Flip doesn't waste a second in pulling Jason's body upright and locking in the Emerald City Sleeper! Jason flails, trying quickly to escape the hold, and manages to get his feet into the ropes before Flip has the chance to tighten up the move. Jason and Flip get back to their feet, and Flip connects with a second Staley Concept! Cover; one, two, thre-- JASON WESLEY REVERSES! Jason with a small package; one, two, thre-- KICKOUT!!

[Visper:] This is insane! We're fifteen minutes into this match, and both Jason Wesley and Flip Staley are still going strong!

Jason pulls Flip to his feet and whips him to the ropes, running in and giving Flip a Double Jumping Knee into the corner. Flip stumbles out and Jason whips him across the ring into the other corner, coming in for the Double Jumping Knee again, and connects! Flip stumbles out again and Jason takes to the ropes, but Aika is there and pulls the top rope down, causing Jason to tumble outside of the ring!!

[Visper:] TWICE! That's twice! Aika Sugiyama needs to be removed from ringside before she costs Jason Wesley this match!!

[Jr.:] And you say I need to chill out...

Aika serves as a distraction for Jason as he gets to his feet, and here comes Flip Staley! Elbow suicide from the NDP Champion!!

[Jr.:] FLIP STALEY IS PUTTING HIS BODY ON THE LINE FOR THE NDP CHAMPIONSHIP!!!

The referee is to his 9-count before either man begins getting back up. Once up, both men begin brawling. Jason's elbow smashes versus Flip's closed-fist boxing. Flip's boxing wins. Dynamite Punch Rush from Staley leaves Jason reeling, and Flip rolls him back into the ring, sliding in afterward. Flip takes to the ropes and connects with a baseball slide dropkick to the side of Jason's face. Jason uses the ropes to get to his feet, but Flip is right there and waiting, STALEY CONCEPT!! Flip with an Oklahoma roll; one, two, three!!

Flip Staley retains the Championship by pinfall
Time: 17.27
Rating: 86%

[Jr.:] BAH GAWD FLIP STALEY HAS RETAINED AGAINST JASON WESLEY!!

[Visper:] What a match! What a night!

[Jr.:] FLIP STALEY HAS ONCE AGAIN OVERCOME THE ODDS! FLIP STALEY IS THE NEW DAMAGE PROWRESTLING CHAMPION!!
