[Ricky Masters]

JP: Welcome back! We are here live in Concord, California. Giving you the best action-packed series of matches every Wednesday!

Ray: You tell them Jimmy!

JP: And now we are slowly moving our way into tonights main event match of the evening!

Burn in my Light by Mercy Drive Plays through the horrible old speakers to the hundreds of fans out in the arena. Their reaction of course, was the long solid chorus of boo's. Ricky Masters takes his stand at the top of the entrance, his eyes fixed higher than the audience. He raises his arms in the air, spread out as if holding an enormous globe.

Lizzie: Ladies and Gentlemen, tonights Main Event is scheduled to be a LADDER MATCH! The first man to reach above and grab the... uh... Whatever is hanging up there 20 ft. above the ring, wins the match! And to our first contestant, weighing in tonight at 270 lbs. , from St. Louis, Missouri, and a member of THE KINGDOM, RIICKY MASTERS!

JP: I don't see why this man is already in the main event, he wins one royal rumble, and BOOM! He is up there.

Ray: Well, look at him! It's completely obvious! I mean, come on.. Who could resist something like that!? Tell me!

JP: Me..

Ray: Well, besides you.

JP: Everybody else BUT you.

Ricky slides underneath the ropes after his long confident walk. The fans continue to show their hatred as he leaps back to his feet and poses once more to the few hundreds in attendance.

“THE FUTURE… HAS… ARRVED!”

[/b][/color]
An intense amount of cheers from the audience is heard instantly as “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour begins to blare throughout the arena. The lights begin to flash randomly and rapidly in unison with the guitar riff as the entrance tunnel is filled with sparks and the silhouette of the proclaimed “Future” is shown in the tunnel.

“Look in my eyes, what do you see?
The Cult of Personality…”

[/b][/I][/color]
Jake Diamond energetically bursts out of the tunnel to an overwhelming ovation. Wearing long black wrestling pants with numerous designs all over them and a vest covered in signature insignias, Jake brushes back his long, shaggy brown hair with his hand and slyly smirks proudly into the audience with his emerald green eyes. With the chants of his name heard from the audience Jake, as typically as ever, runs from side to side of the brief entrance stage playfully taunting the fans as he goes.

Jimmy Pate: "Well following Jake's win last week against Desperado and his challenge to the Kingdom, looks like he's going to have to go up one of the original members!"

Ray White: "Why would he challenge Vladimir? He knows he can't win and even if it is in Jake's own Chamber of Death he won't stand five minutes..."

JP: "You make a valid point Ray but we have to see if he can get through this... special newcomer to Eagle Vision Pro Wrestling. I'm sure the rest of the Kingdom will be keeping a close eye on this match!"

Meanwhile, Jake begins to walk down the entrance ramp in his signature cocky strut, pointing finger gun gestures playfully at the audience and randomly yelling confident but just as hilarious comments. He stops at the center of the entrance ramp and spreads his legs slightly apart before lowering his head. He slowly raises both his hands high up into the air, forming the shape of a diamond in the middle of them, before swiftly and sharply bringing it down. Despite his lack of pyros, the fans continue to cheer in approval at the no-nonsense competitor, only to further expand the grin which is spread halfway across Jake’s face.

LM: “Introducing his opponent; he hails from the ‘Second City,’ Chicago, Illinois and weighs in tonight at two hundred and twenty-two pounds! He is the Savior of EVPW! Ladies and gentlemen, he is 'The Future' JAKE DIAMOND!"

Jake continues to make his way down the entrance ramp, slapping the hands of nearby fans on the way, Jake reaches the steel steps to the ring and energetically rushes up them and hops over the ring ropes with ease. Similar to that of Shawn Michaels, Jake does a quick spin to reach the middle of the ring before immediately shooting his arms out to his sides in his signature crucifix pose. If that wasn’t enough, a single simultaneous burst from the turnbuckles explodes, forcing Jake to laugh lightly to himself that he bought those pyros from a nearby firework shop for the low-low price of sixty dollars. Jake removes his vest and hands it off to the official in the ring, still not keeping his eyes off of the unknown Ricky Masrers. Jake wanders over to his corner and leans against the turnbuckle as the referee checks him for any weapons that he may possess. Surprisingly, Jake proves to be clean and the referee backs away quickly, calling for the bell to begin the match. Jake raises a hand up signalling for a test of strength but a quick boot to his gut from Ricky Masters instantly changes his plans...

TBCB: Ricky.

[Ricky Masters]

Ricky cocks a grin before trying to throw a huge right, but was easily blocked by Jake Diamond. This gave him the opportunity to start rocketing his own punches, one after the other. The electricity caused the audience to go ecstatic. Cheering Jake Diamond on after each fist into the Kingdom Representative. Now leaning against the ropes, Jake irish whips the newcomer to the opposite side, throwing his head down as Ricky comes repelling back only to be kicked in the face. Masters uses the opportunity and clotheslines the Future down to the mat. Ricky quickly goes to his "magnificent" pose that he so gloriously loves which only just disturbed the audience a tad.

The Kingdom member grins as he turns around reaching down to grab the top of Jakes head. Just a little late before realizing it, Jake, in almost nothing flat, grabs the reaching arm and pulls it in between the leg, trying to lock the T.T.B in quickly.

JP: oh my god! He's going for the T.T.B! He almost has it!

Ray: Come on Ricky! Fight it off! Don't let that big douche pull you around like that! Especially between the legs.

Ricky continues to scramble, eventually reaching the ropes and pushing Jake Diamond off, leaving him time to spare. Yet only did he think so as Jake pushes Masters back into a turnbuckle and begins chopping away at the Kingdom Member. Each strike caused the victim to spaz in the corner. The spinning back fist came around, striking the side of Ricky Masters Jaw. Jake backs off with Masters stumbling forward a couple steps. He runs up his opponent's knee followed by the raising of his other foot to the back of his head.

Ray: Look at this! Ricky is still standing! Nothing can seem to take him down.

JP: I don't think Jake Diamond is finished yet!

The Future springs back from the further rope, charging at full speed toward the man who supposedly only knows ten moves. Jake Diamond leaps into the air, his legs in position for a Busaiku Kick. But in some unknown almost impossible way, Masters was able to bend down to find a magical penny that was laying on the mat. This leaving Jake in the air flying right over Ricky and straddling the ropes in his landing.

You could hear the loud distinct "awww" from the audience as their Saviour misses the big move at the last second. After Ricky shines his new found coin with his breath, he just realizes that Diamond wanted to play as if the ropes was a horse. Ricky laughs at Jake's games, only wanting that random object that was being held up 20 ft. in the air. So he slides out of the ring, grabbing the already standing ladder that was positioned just outside of the squared circle. He attempts to slide it in, but realized it wouldn't fit with the ladder still in standing position. He was completely confused why it wouldn't work, he has seen many past tapes of matches that included ladders. So why wouldn't it work now?

By this time, Jake Diamond finally recovered and noticed his opponent trying to squeeze the entire standing ladder under the bottom rope. An idea triggers, as he takes his toll running off the opposite ropes and drop kicking the ladder back into Masters face.

JP: Ow! You know that had to hurt. Maybe that knocked some sense into him.

Ray: I really hope so. You can't just let Jake Diamond win! That's just wrong!

[Jake Diamond]

Looking down at Ricky Masters outside of the ring, an idea formulates in the mind of The Future as he grabs onto the top rope with both hands. Ricky, while lying on the outside ring mat with the ladder lain across his chest, stares dumbfounded at the ceiling as though he wasn’t expecting the ladder to hurt him. The pain only increases for him though as Jake slingshots himself over the top rope with a front flip and lands bottom first onto the ladder and drives it brutally into the chest of the ‘unprepared’ superstar. Obviously feeling the pain himself, Jake rolls off the ladder and grabs his sore tailbone almost with a grin, confident that he did more damage to Ricky Masters than himself. The confidence proves to be true as Ricky seems to be quite winded from Jake’s (And the Ladder’s) weight being driven into his chest.

Jake takes his sweet time getting up knowing fully that he has the ability to do just that. Despite the delay in getting up to his feet, Jake wastes no time on going to work on his opponent by quickly grabbing the ladder that still lays on Master’s chest only to drop it back down. To continue the punishment, Jake takes a step or two back only to charge and drop back first onto the ladder and Ricky with a standing senton. Now absolutely brimming with confidence Jake shakes off the pain easily, well aware that he’s been through far worse punishment, and grabs the ladder that lays on top of the inexperienced member of the Kingdom. Jake sides the ladder into the ring and follows behind it before swiftly setting up the object he’s more than accustomed to in the absolute center. Shades of old begin to show and Jake’s arrogance continues to apparently grow as each second passes taking as much time as he can to climb up the damn ladder. Unfortunately for him he doesn’t notice a certain Ricky Masters who gained his second wind climb into the ring. Now standing halfway up the ladder, Jake finally witnesses what he’s been so careless to see and is knocked off the ladder from Ricky Masters who connects with a fairly textbook dropkick to the twenty foot object.

“Wow, I’m impressed on behalf of Ricky Masters. I thought this kid only knew maybe ten moves, eleven on a good day, and yet he managed to knock over the ladder with a crisp dropkick? There’s got to be more to him than we know…”

“Oh shush yourself Jimmy; did you see how awkwardly Jake landed on his side? I think those few sentons may have screwed him up…”

“He’s done far more to his body than a few sentons, now the rest of his body is just catching up to all of his previous injuries! Remember, he has had a history of back problems but I highly doubt Ricky Masters has bothered to study up on his very crafty opponent tonight!”

Jimmy Pate could’ve of been more correct as Ricky Masters, as inexperienced as he is, stares at Jake who lays almost helplessly against the ropes and the ladder which is folded right beside his opponent with almost a confused look. Although, Vladimir Strife didn’t single handedly recruit him to the Kingdom for no reason at all now has he? Ricky Masters charges at Jake and stomps onto a spot on his opponents lower back. The stomps continue, each being more furious than the last until the referee pushes Ricky aside and tells him to stop and, surprisingly, he does. Now unaware of what to do next, Ricky looks up at the mystery object hanging above the ring and realizes he has to grab that to win and looks down at the ladder. Quickly remembering his last unfortunate experience with the ladder, Ricky tries another approach to grab the object and makes his way to the turnbuckles nearest to Jake. He begins to climb one turnbuckle at a time until he finally reaches the top and stands on either rope with both feet. Regrettably, Ricky has his back toward the ring and seems to have forgotten about Jake who quickly reminds him of his presence by pushing out his feet and dropping him crotch first on the top turnbuckle.

Taking a small moment to breath, Jake sees his opening and springboards off the middle rope beside the turnbuckles and connects with a perfect enzuigiri to the side of Ricky’s head forcing him to fall backwards straight into the dreaded tree of woe position. Better aware of his surroundings of this point, Jake likes what he sees and jogs over to the far turnbuckles before turning, picking up speed, and leaps almost at the middle of the ring. Bringing his legs close up to his chest, Jake grins broadly before launching his legs out and connecting with a Hesitation Dropkick to Ricky Masters that entirely flips him out of the tree of woe.

“Ricky’s brains must be scrambled after that! It almost seemed like Jake was defying gravity with the air he got, wouldn’t you say so Ray?”

“Oh boy, I hope Vladimir isn’t watching this match because with the way Jake is dominating he’d be furious!”

“I’d say so but remember, Ricky may be slightly less talented than John Cena but we’ve seen bigger underdogs win, let’s just see if Jake can manage to bring this victory home and drive a defeat to The Kingdom…”
