Rhaps v Azumi: TLC

[The Flying Assassin]

Jimmy Pate:This should be an interesting match that we have here tonight Ray...Rhaps who is a very well known and experienced wrestler going up against the new girl in Azumi in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match. I don't know much background on Azumi outside of she female, young and petite.

Ray White:And your point is Jimmy? I mean doesn't EVPW have enough trashy woman that are wrestling next to the sexy guys that wrestle. I mean these woman take away from the beautiful scenery. I do hope that Rhapsipoo violate and humiliate her for even thinking of stepping into a ring.

Jimmy Pate:Ray I don't know what has got into you tonight but...I hope that I am not going to be ending up punching you before the night is out. I mean there is a certian thrill to this match as the fans here in the Soild Core Gymnasium are going to get to watch another woman who from what I have been told is attractive and cute step into the ring and show that she can hang with the big boys. Even if she is at not only a height disadvantage but a weight disadvantage as well. As Rhaps weighs over 100 lbs more then her.

Lizzy Morna:This next match on tonight's card is a Table, ladder and chairs match! Introducing first from Hiroshima Japan! Weighing in at 110 lbs Azumi The Jade Dragon Sacaguchi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The speakers in the gymnasium crackle and hiss before the lights begin to go down as a roar from a dragon is heard over the speakers. Two ring attendants come walking out and place smoke machines on either side of the entrance way. As these attendants step back out of the way the lights begin to strobe various colors as the smoke machines sputter and spit and proceeds to come to life. The smoke that is bellowed out is small and unnoticeable at first as Dir En Grey's Caged Drain begins to play over the old speakers the music crackling and sounding scratchy.

Azumi steps through the curtain and onto the stage she is seen kicking the smoke machines which then sees the machines really spring to life and begin to bellow out thick clouds of smoke the crowd looks over as the lights continue to strobe at the entrance way and Azumi comes out through the smoke She stands on the stage where she puts her hands out in front of her before bringing them together in a prayer like way next to her chest. The fans are quiet as they have never heard or seen her before so. A small spattering of cheers throughout the arena. Azumi then begins to walk down the ramp way.

Azumi slides under the bottom rope and stands in the center of the ring as the lights begin to come up shiwing Azumi under a green dragon mask that aapears to shoot flames..She then proceeds to walk around the ring clockwise before removing her attire. She then runs and jumps onto the turnbuckle before taking off her hood which she tosses to the attendant. Azumi then back flips off the turnbuckle landing in the splits before standing back up and kicking several times in the air while waiting for her opponent Azumi looks around at the tables and chairs scattered around the ring as well as the two ladders positioned at either end outside f the ring.

TBC Rhaps

[Rhaps]

The arena lights are switched off abruptly, casting the entire building into hazy darkness. A few murmurings are heard amongst the relatively small audience as they remain huddled in the small expanse that is the Solid Core Gymnasium. Psychosocial by Slipknot blasts through the speakers, startling many in the crowd. A spotlight on the roof of the building is turned on, shining a brilliant column of light at the entrance to the arena from backstage, the air thick with anticipation as they remain poised to accept the SIC Maniac into their ranks. A few more seconds pass before a cloaked, solemn looking figure walks into view, his head bowed. The cowls of the hood hide Rhaps' face as he takes a few more steps into the building, delaying and drawing his entrance out for dramatic effect. Ray White begins getting bored and tapping the announce table in front of him rhythmically as the Rhapsitastic One continues to pace his way slowly down towards the squared circle. Izzy Wright steps forwards into the centre of the ring and raises the microphone to her mouth, halting Rhaps' progress instantly.

Izzy: And introducing her opponent. Hailing from Canterbury, England and weighing in tonight at 219 pounds. He is the Beast Unleashed, The Rhapsitastic One. Rhaps.

As Izzy finishes her announcement, the fans instantly open up with a show of their hatred for the former fan favourite. The one thousand strong audience begin showering the SIC Monster with a chorus of boos, being very vocal about their disapproval of Rhaps' recent actions. For the first time, Rhaps raises his head, his facial features being cast in shadow from the hood of the robe. His eyes lock onto his primary target for tonight, the unassuming face of Azumi, The Jade Dragon. Rhaps knew though that in spite of her small stature, she concealed an extraordinary fighting skill in the ring and was not to be taken lightly. Rhaps places his hands on the fabric, pulling the robe off of himself before throwing it down to the ground. He is wearing knee length black shorts and a black T-shirt with an R symbol emblazoned across the fabric. The Safety Ranger ignores the fans on either side as they yell taunts and insults in his direction. He continues to pace his way towards the ring where his opponent is waiting.

JP: Well, call me stupid but I'm shocked that Rhaps actually showed up here tonight. He was taken to the limit last week by the Butcher in what was possibly Rhaps' most hard fought match of his career bar his Nexus encounter with the Undefeated Behemoth. And if I'm correct I reckon Azumi may prove up to the task of knocking Rhaps down a peg or two here tonight. For what has been a glorious career up to this point, Rhaps has entered a rather inglorious phase of it.

Ray White: Let me tell you something Jimmy. Rhaps is better and more hardcore than ever. And last week Rhaps didn't take a beating but he sent a rather stolid message to the rest of the roster. No matter how much you are in control of the match and no matter how much punishment you inflict on the Safety Ranger, it’s never enough. Surely you saw the way Rhaps was brutalised before overcoming it and extinguishing the Butcher like a candle. Now that just proves Rhaps' dominance in my mind.

The Safety Ranger finally makes it to the ring apron. Azumi has moved so she is standing by the ring ropes, looking down at her opponent ominously. Rhaps stares upwards at her and their eyes lock, an unstated understanding passing between both superstars. Suddenly, Rhaps bunches his leg muscles and he launches himself upwards. He lands on the ring apron in one smooth movement, catching the ropes in front of him to balance himself. Azumi and Rhaps continue to burn a hole in one another before Rhaps moves to the end and he climbs the turnbuckle from the outside. He stands atop it, one leg still supporting his weight on the ropes. He looks out into the audience, earning grim looks and another chorus of boos to rain down on him from all quarters of the gymnasium. Rhaps ignores it as he steps over the ropes and stands inside the squared circle. Izzy begins to exit the ring as the referee waves a hand and a bell sounds behind him. The match was underway.

TBCB Azumi.

OOC: Lizzie was taken out by Vlad in a storyline so we're using Izzy Wright as the announcer. ;D

[The Flying Assassin]

(ooc:I must have misread the card then because it looked like it said Lizzy Morna was the announcer...No biggies though )

Azumi looks over at Rhaps who looks across to her from the oppisite side of the ring. The bell rings and Azumi cautiously and slowly moves towards the center as Rhaps in hurry to inflict what ever pain he has going on in his mind casually walks towards the center as well. The fans are quiet now as they wait to see what the outcome of the match will be. Azumi as she gets closer to Rhaps looks up and continues to size up the much bigger man. Azumi screams at the top of her lungs as she gets a quick burst charging at Rhaps who is caught off guard from the scream. Azumi jumps up into the air here legs balled up inside her before then extending them the bottom of her boots makes contact with Rhaps chest as she continues to push the impact is enough to push Rhaps backward several steps.

Azumi is quickly up to her feet and jumps into the air again but this time Rhaps is ready and he swats her kick away as if swatting a fly. Azumi unaware of the quickness of Rhaps feels his big hands grab her as she lands on the ground and in a fluid motion sends her near side into the closest ring ropes. Azumi bounces off the nearside ring ropes and is not quick enough to duck under as Rhaps extends his arm and almost decapitates Azumi who is seen spinning in the air before landing on her back with thud. The crowd begins to boo as Rhaps has the early advantage and not to let it go is quick to bend down and pick up the dazed azumi by her hair standing her to feet.

Rhaps continuing his focus places his left arm around her head and his right arm on her skirt and with ease lifts Azumi up into the air with a vertical suplex. The crowd looks on as Azumi is seen wiggling her body in the air trying to throw Rhaps off balance but Rhaps doesn't lose his balance and falls backwards landing on the mat planting Azumi again to the canvas with a vertical suplex. Rhaps is quick to get to his feet as Azumi lies on the mat her chest is seen moving up and down rapidly.

Jimmy Pate:Well I must say Azumi could be biting off more then she could chew. As so far it has been all Rhaps in this match. I might begin to feel sorry for Azumi as she is so small and petite and has not been able to mount an offense of any kind.

Ray White:I am liking this Jimmy Rhaps is showing why he is who he is and why he stands at the cusp of greatness. I hope that Rhaps destroys her and sends packing back home.

Rhaps still remaining focus bends down once again to grab Azumi standing her up to feet by her hair as they both lock up in a collar and elbow tie up. Rhaps being the stronger of the two again sends Azumi running across the ring this time to the far side ropes Azumi bounces off the far side ropes and continues to run back at Rhaps who ducks down. Azumi jumps and rolls across the back of Rhaps and before Rhaps can turn around Azumi plants a swift kick to the back of Rhaps knee bringing to him down to one knee. Rhaps tries and stands up and again is brought down to one knee as Azumi lands another kick to the back of Rhaps right knee. Rhaps stands up and surprises Azumi again with his quickness as he conects to the face of Azumi with a spinning back fist the impact spins Azumi as she falls to the mat.

Rhaps stands but you notice that he is rubbing the back of his right knee before he again reaches out and down and picks Azumi up by her raven hair and stands her to her feet. Azumi has her eyes closed and has to be supported by Rhaps who with ease and effort whips Azumi into the nearside turnbuckles the impact from Azumi making contact makes a whipping effect as she remains propped in the corner. Rhaps charges at Azumi a smile comes across his face as he gets closer. Rhaps extends his arm and prepares to closeline her into the turnbuckle but to the shock and surprise of the fans finds his upper body making contact with the turnbuckles before his hands quickly reach down and he holds himself as he wobbles out of the corner. The crowd lets out a chorus of cheers as Azumi dropped to the ground in the splits and either on purpose or inadvertently drove her forehead into Rhaps Family Jewels.

Jimmy Pate:That will make you count your stars. I will say she is very flexible and I am surprised by that move in the corner. I thought for sure that Rhaps was going to deliver a viscous closeline to her.

Ray White:Noooooo! Rhaps has been injuried no one should ever hit in that area of the body. She should be disquilified! That part of the body is to be carressed and loved on and treated with care and taken care of.

Jimmy just shakes his head as Azumi has stood to her feet and has ascended the turnbuckles. Rhaps turns around and is still in slight pain as he walks towards Azumi who proceeds to jump into the air with a reverse flip as she locks her right arm around the head of Rhaps before planting him solidly on the crown. The crowd looks on in amazement and awe as Azumi stands to her feet after planting Rhaps with a shooting star DDT. Azumi feeling a rush of adreniline in her body bends down and grabs Rhaps right ankle and begins to twist it as she locks in an ankle lock. Rhaps is suddenly brought to life and with ease turns his body around and brings the leg in before pushing out causing Azumi to lose control of the ankle lock as she is pushed backward. Rhaps is seen grabbing the ropes as he pulls himself up to his feet but before he can get up to his feet he feels the impact as a heel from the tabi boot makes contact to the side of Rhaps face. The impact almost echo's throughout the arena as Rhaps face turns to the left. Azumi lets go with another kick this time making contact to the ribs of Rhaps causing him to wince in pain slightly. Azumi continues with an onslaught of kicks to either side of Rhaps ribs trying to keep him grounded and in the turnbuckles. Azumi sets her left leg as she plants her right leg. Azumi lifts the left leg off the ground as she begins to reverse spin as the leg makes contact with the right side of Rhaps ribs. Rhaps has taken his arm and caught Azumi's left leg trapping it. Azumi caught of balance is sent hard to the mat once again as Rhaps amazes the crowd reverse sweeping Azumi. Rhaps feeling the pain in his ribs and his body drops to the mat and then rolls to the outside standing on his feet as he uses this time to catch his breath before looking over at a chair that is positioned against the guard rail.

Rhaps is seen making his way over towards the chair which he then proceeds to pick up and fold as he turns around toward the ring with the chair he finds himself dropping the chair as Azumi got up and launched her self over the top rope spinning like a corkscrew as she lands on Rhaps sending both combatants to the ground outside. Rhaps takes the blunt of the impact as Azumi rolls off Rhaps and lies there the move taking abit more out of her then what she anticipated. The crowd is seen on there feet as they cheer as both wrestlers lie on the ground outside and catch there breath.

[Rhaps]

The fans stand on their feet and begin cheering enthusiastically. One thousand voices join as on as they begin chanting in support of The Jade Dragon as she stumbles almost blindly to her feet. Rhaps remains almost comatose on the ground, having taken the brunt of Azumi's offense for the past few minutes. The Jade Dragon stands up to her full height, her eyes locking intently on her downed opponent and pain wracks through his entire system. Azumi's relentless assault moments earlier in the match have clearly taken their toll, painful stabbing sensations being felt every time Rhaps draws breath. Azumi take s a moment to collect her thoughts as Rhaps' movements remains somewhat restricted, giving her enough time to plan her next attack on the Safety Ranger. Suddenly Rhaps shoots himself up to his feet in one smooth movement, receiving a fresh torrent of boos for his trouble. The Jade Dragon reacts instinctively. She turns around and mounts the barricade behind her, intending to fly and let loose with yet another dangerous aerial assault on the former world champion. Rhaps' eyes narrow with anger and he drops low to his haunches. Abruptly he breaks into a run, charging headlong at his relatively small opponent. As Azumi turns around and finds her balance on the barricade, Rhaps launches himself into the air towards her. The SIC Monster lays out horizontal, kicking his feet out in front of him. The soles of his boots blasts viciously into the young woman's chest from the deadly accurate Yakuza Kick. She careens into the fans unceremoniously, many moving out of the way as Rhaps climbs atop the barricade wall himself and gazes intently on his opponent.

Some of the fans hover protectively over the Jade Dragon as Rhaps' face contorts into a twisted and grotesque mask of hate and anger. A particular brave fan approaches the SIC Monster and begins saying something to him. A few tense seconds pass before Rhaps suddenly snaps, Rhaps' leg muscles bunching before he contorts his body through the air. His foot smashes into the side of the fan's head from a terrific looking Enzuiguri. He falls to the ground in a slump, causing many around the Rhapsitastic One to part and give way, revealing Azumi's small form amongst the chaos. He kneels beside her, a sick grin on his face as he clutches a handful of her hair. He balls his fist and drives it viciously into her forehead, the back of her head smashing into the concrete underneath. Pain throbs and spreads across the back of her skull, the lights instantly dimmed from the sickening impact of the punch. The Rhapsitastic One stands up, looking down on his fallen prey before swinging his feet over the barricade. Immediately he begins to move the weapons around, the cogs in his head turning as he fights for a single moment of sanity in which to collect his thoughts. He casts a suspicious gaze in Azumi's direction before nodding once, satisfaction at seeing her innate body still strewn on the ground.

JP: This is sick and this is wrong. What the hell was management thinking in booking such a match? Azumi may not be outclassed because she's already proven that in spite of her size that she is able to hold her own between the ropes. But why would Devin Bozz put this young woman against someone with such a huge height and weight advantage. And especially considering this is Rhaps I am referring to, someone as clearly sick minded as he is. He's currently looking at the weapons in the match to see how they can be used against the Jade Dragon.

Ray: You raise a few points but I have to disagree with you once again Jimmy. Azumi was booked this match and sure she's at a height and weight disadvantage but you have to consider a few things. She has signed a contract with EVPW under the knowledge that there isn't a women's division so the issues she faces in this match will occur again. And Devin Bozz may have made the match but it takes the superstars to fight it. She came out to fight Rhaps and she should expect a fight because Rhaps is full of it. She had the choice to reject the match but she's here now and facing the consequences of her decision.

After a few moments of thought, Rhaps selects a steel chair, holding it triumphantly, much to the disgust of the crowd. He holds it aloft before turning around. Rhaps turns to see Azumi glaring intently at him. The Jade Dragon strikes instantly, her arm wrapping around Rhaps' neck before pulling him down sharply. Her small frame exerts enough momentum and Rhaps' face smashes into the barricade wall agonisingly. The abrupt change in momentum causes a few fans to avert their eyes as Rhaps lands with a dull thud, a bright crimson stream oozing joyously from a gauge in his head. His head lolls to one side as Azumi clambers back over the divide between the fans and the ring. The Jade Dragon wastes little time in seizing the advantage. She grabs hold of a ladder and slides it underneath the bottom rope. She begins to work feverishly as she extends the ladder, carefully positioning it before stepping onto it. She begins the ascension to victory whilst Rhaps hasn't moved yet after the Bulldog into the barricade. Azumi continues to claw her way up the ladder and soon she is inches away from snatching a victory.

Abruptly the ladder underneath her begins rattling and wobbling dangerously, halting her dramatic climb to victory. Azumi looks down and sees Rhaps pushing against the enormous frame of the ladder in a desperate attempt to keep his hopes of winning alive. The Jade Dragon's eyes bulge in her face as Rhaps grips the ladder with both hands. He yanks back against it, using his weight to heave the ladder from its axis. The world seemingly pauses for a few seconds as the latter leans dangerously to one side before collapsing completely. Azumi hurtles towards the ground with tremendous speed. She bounces into the ropes, her body being thrown around before finally finding her balance on the ring apron, managing to catch herself before yet more damage could be inflicted by the concrete looming mere inches underneath. The Rhapsitastic One picks up the fallen ladder, having worked himself up into a frenzy. He positions the ladder like a battering ram before breaking into a run. The steel is driven viciously into Azumi's solar plexus, causing the Japanese Warrior's grip to slip before crashing to the concrete below. The Rhapsitastic One pushes the ladder to the outside before ducking through the ropes himself, intent on hurting Azumi as much as possible.

Ray: Oooh, Jimmy lookie. Rhaps is on the war path tonight and I think he's got something special in store for Azumi. He's placed that ladder on the ring apron and dividing wall for a definite purpose and I'm sure it’s going to cause a lot of pain. He'll teach that woman not to step into the ring with finely chiselled men and hardcore geniuses such as Rhaps and Vlad.

JP: You know something; you've got a seriously jaded view of the world haven't you? I for one am not looking forward to seeing what Rhaps has in store for his opponent tonight. Suffice it to say that she's clearly seen better days and now she's being laid across the ladder that's been balanced across the expanse of the ring and the front row of the fans.

Rhaps finishes putting Azumi in the desired place before heading back over to the ring. He leaps up to the apron in an easy movement before climbing the turnbuckle from the outside. A few seconds pass as Rhaps adjusts his position before standing fully erect; his arms out to one side. The fans are suddenly amazed as Rhaps flings himself forwards, instantly recognising the SIC Maniac's Safety Bomb finisher. Abruptly, Azumi hops off of the ladder, throwing herself to one side as Rhaps races towards the ground with tremendous speed. The impact is sickening as Rhaps' body smashes its way through the steel. The ladder crumples under the Beast's weight, Rhaps' head careening into the concrete before finally coming to a rest, his body contorted into a grotesque position. Rhaps' neck remains limp to one side as Rhaps his leg behind him twitches, causing many in the crowd stare in wonderment at Rhaps' condition. Azumi stares at what has become of her opponent after the failed Safety Bomb attempt, being silently thankful that she wasn't in Rhaps' position. An idea forms in her mind while Rhaps' prone form lies unmoving.

The Jade Dragon turns on the spot almost frantically. She sees what she is looking for and quickly bends down to retrieve a steel chair. She looks at it for only a moment before heading over to the Rhapsitastic One. Once again, the crowd look on in curiosity as Azumi seizes hold of one of Rhaps' legs. She grunts audibly as she drags him into a more desirable position. Azumi nods once before kneeling beside the Safety Ranger's head. Understanding suddenly dawns on the fans as she lifts Rhaps' head up gently before closing the steel chair around it. The Jade Dragon slaps the side of Rhaps' face gently, testing the extent of his apparent injuries before nodding once more in satisfaction. She moves quickly as she ascends the turnbuckle, targeting her opponent carefully. The more hardcore fans, including Ray White, silently urge Rhaps to get to his feet whilst Azumi remains poised to pull the match from Rhaps' grasp once and for all. Suddenly she flings herself forwards, entering into a sitting position as she hurtles towards the ground. Her leg impacting hideously with the chair. The steel is forcefully rammed into either side of Rhaps' neck, causing him to thrash in agony as a thin contusion appears across his neck. He begins coughing violently as his body contorts into yet more unpleasant looking positions whilst the chant of 'Holy Shit' reverberates around the entire building.

JP: My God! What an impact! These fans can’t believe what has happened and they’re on their feet for this one. Azumi has surprised us all here tonight and she’s put Rhaps down and I’m sure if pinfalls were to be counted then we’d be declaring her the winner right now. I know my announce partner is glad about that but it looks as if Rhaps’ form might be slipping due to two poor performances in two weeks.

TBCB Azumi.

[The Flying Assassin]

Azumi lies on the ground the pain from landing her leg across the chair onto the neck of Rhaps surges through here body. Her chest heaves rapidly as the chants from the crowd continue to reverberate through the gymnasium. Rhaps body is still twitching and convulsing as if he is having a seizure. The ref looks out and stands there has he holds onto the top rope the look telling everyone that he wants to give the 10 count. Azumi begins to move and is seen slowly rolling over onto her stomach. Azumi is seen slowly pushing her self to her hands and knees as Rhaps body has stopped twitching and he continues to lie there his chest heaving up and down as a small puddle of blood is seen around the ground near Rhaps mouth.

Azumi looks down at the ground as she is on her hands and knees the sweat is dripping off her forehead and is mixed with blood. It leaves a splatter pattern each time a droplet falls, Rhaps begins to slowly move as Azumi has made it to her feet and is using the guard rail as support as several fans are tapping her on the shoulder. She looks down and sees that Rhaps is moving but not enough to give her concern as she pushes herself off the railing and limps towards the ring where she slides under the bottom rope and again stands up using the ring ropes to support her.

Jimmy Pate:You have to be impressed by Azumi here Ray. I mean she stands in the ring after that brutal leg shot across the chair onto Rhaps neck. Also after the abuse and punishment that she has taken from the Safety Ranger and all she has to do is go get the other ladder, set it up and climb to victory.

Ray White:No...No...No...I can not believe that Rhaps one of the more sexier guys on the roster could lose this match...To...To...A girl. I mean Rhaps has her in weight and height and experience. There is no way Rhaps should be having this much trouble with her. I don't care how much skill she has shown in her debut match. I know that Rhaps will pull it out because he is the safety Ranger and...and...He will win

Azumi pushes herself off the ropes and limps across the ring towards where the other ladder is as Rhaps has finely felt his body tell him to move and has rolled over onto his stomach. Rhaps pushes with what strength he can muster but falls flat on his face as his arms give out on him. Azumi gets to the other side of the ring and drops to the mat and rolls to the outside standing up on the ground and limping over towards the other ladder. Rhaps again places his hands underneath him as he pushes himself up to his hands and knees this time succeeding. The blood mixed with sweat drops off his face and body and the thin red line is plain to see around his neck.

Azumi reaches out and grabs the standing ladder closing it as she turns around and walks the steps required before sliding the ladder into the ring under the bottom rope. Azumi pulls herself up and stands on the ring apron while holding the top ropes to catch her breath before she begins the task of setting up the ladder and climbing up it to achieve victory. Rhaps is seen reaching out and grabbing for the guardrail as he struggles to pull himself up to a standing base his body aching, feeling as if he is on fire yet somehow he finds away to push his body as he knows that he can not afford to lose to the new comer. Azumi steps between the second and third and enters the ring her mind is focused on picking up the ladder and setting it up so that she can end this match and recover.

Ray White:Come on Rhaps! Come on Rhaps! Get your body up and get into the ring! Your the safety Ranger you can not lose this match.

Jimmy Pate:Ray...Face it. Azumi is showing her heart and drive to want to win. Rhaps has been in two difficult matches and escaped with a win somehow. This could be where he gets a loss as he could be due. If Rhaps loses this match and Azumi wins it would be a big feather in her cap to come out in her first match and score a victory over one of the best wrestlers in the sport today bar nun. You and I both know Ray that sometimes you lose a match. Not everyone can be dominate all the time.

Azumi bends down picking up the ladder and struggles as she stands back up holding the ladder across her body. She walks to where she thinks that she can climb up and grab the object hanging. Rhaps having got his bearings about him has made his way towards the ring but instead of climbing in he lifts the apron and begin digging pulling out a table which sends a chorus of cheers throughout the arena. Rhaps pulls the table out and with effort lifts it up and slides it into the ring. Azumi unaware has the ladder open and positioned as she checks it a few times before beginning to slowly climb up the ladder. Rhaps rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and stands up bending down to grab the table he begins to open up the legs and sets the table up. The crowd is cheering but also wondering why Rhaps is setting up the table as Azumi is about half way up the ladder. Rhaps with a winch smiles to himself as makes it to the other side of the ladder and begins to slowly climb up it.

Ray White:Look! Look! Look! Rhaps is climbing the ladder too. I knew he wouldn't let me down. Azumi is gonna get hers now and Rhaps is going to win this match!

Jimmy Pate:I don't know Ray I mean Azumi appears to be in the lead and only has a short way to go and Rhaps is just at the half way mark. This match has taken a toll on both wrestlers and I am surprised that the outcome could be decided by either one of them getting a hold of the briefcase and winning this match.

Azumi feels the ladder moving from the weight of Rhaps on the side and she begins to try and hurridly climb the ladder which is wobbling and shaking, throwing off the balance. Rhaps sees the prize and smiles as he is beginning to catch up to Azumi. Azumi stands on the second from the top rung and is reaching up trying to grab the title which is just out her of reach. Rhaps being taller then Azumi stands 3 rungs down throws a left into the stomach of Azumi the impact causes Azumi to almost fall off the ladder but she leans forward supporting herself on the top of the ladder. Rhaps uses this moment to wrap his right arm around the neck of Azumi holding her in a three quarter face lock. Azumi is trying to balance herself on the shaking ladder that she can not even attempt to break free. Rhaps looks to where the table is set and jumps off the ladder while holding Azumi in the three quarter face lock and both wrestlers fall shattering the table as they make contact. The crowd begin a huge Holy Shit chant as both wrestlers lie in splinters of a broken table both wrestlers bodies are seen twitching and convulsing like fish out of water every 30 seconds or so.

Jimmy Pate:My God! Did you see that move by Rhaps??? He hit a Diamond Cutter from off the ladder through the table! I mean good lord that was unreal! I don't see how either of them are going to get up from that.

Ray White:Noooooooooooo! Rhaps you were not supposed to jump you were supposed to throw her off the ladder and grab the title. Rhaps is really going to need some attention after this match and I am more then willing to provide it for him.
