Abaddons Pit Match

[Scally]

The camera now focuses on Phenomena who is standing tall over Krylon and repeatedly lifting his right foot up and slamming it down hard on his fallen opponents face, Krylon trying to cover up as best he can, by putting his hands over his face. Phenomena now turns at Purest and smirks at him, in a way of saying look how good I am, Purest however rolls his eyes as if to say yea right, sarcastically. We then hear a big thud, to which the crowd yell out “OOOOOHHHHHHHH”. The camera pans around and we see KB has crossed his arms holding his chest in pain leaning against the turnbuckle; we also see AJ’s foot coming down, from what has seemed a very painful kick. AJ then repeats his earlier process and lifts his right leg up with great momentum and connects with KB’s chest, KB again holds his chest in pain. AJ then turns around and yells out “YEAHHH!!” However this may have been his downfall, as AJ raises his leg again, but KB manages to grab and in get underneath it and grab Scally’s other leg and pick him up in a seated position in the big man’s shoulders. The big man now walks forward and flings his smaller opponent towards the corner of the cage, however AJ is able to hold on and keep his balance whilst holding the cage. KB then turns around as AJ jumps off backwards while flipping backwards, executing a moonsault. KB however catches AJ in a horizontal position on his shoulders and long darts him by throwing AJ forward and AJ’s head connects with the cage.

Pate: What a counter by Kingbear and excellent strength to catch Scally like that.

Ray: I have to agree there, but what a great series of kicks as well.

Purest: Those kicks show why AJ is in the Cowboys, but he may have bitten off a bit more than he could chew there.

KB kneels on one knee now, trying to catch his breath, as the camera is focusing on Vlad and Hawkeye. Vlad is repeatedly lifting his right foot up and slamming down hard against every part of his fallen opponent smirking along the way, while the majority of the crowd are booing. Vlad now wraps his hands around the Assassin’s head and forcefully brings him to his feet. Vlad now raises his right foot upwards very quickly connecting with Hawkeye’s stomach. He is now bent over in pain, as Vlad wraps his right arm around the head of Hawkeye and proceeds to fall backwards, dropping his opponents head on the hard concrete below with a vicious DDT. Hawkeye then flips on to his back, while Vlad sits up with a smirk across his face.

Ray: Woooo, go Vlady, what a DDT.

Pate: How can you condone this sort of thing, Hawkeye could be knocked out.

We are now focused on Matt and Alex who are standing face to face to each other; Matt has just extended his right hand out, closed fist and connected with Alex’s face. Olivera repeats what he had just done five seconds ago; Matt keeps repeating this, forcing the member of the Lo Cash Cowboys to back away and into the cage corner. Matt then walks towards Thunder and extends his right foot upwards and connects with Alex’s stomach, causing him to bend over in pain, Olivera now backs away to the diagonally opposite corner and proceeds to run towards his prone opponent. As he is about to reach his target, Matt bends down, looking to drive his shoulder into Thunder’s abdomen, however Alex is able to get out of the corner in time. Matt, who cannot stop his own momentum, runs in head first against the cage corner post. Alex seizing the opportunity proceeds to place both his hands on the cage wall and lifts himself onto the cage and starts to climb the cage looking to make it to the final four.

Pate: Looks like Alex is trying to climb the cage and get as much of a rest as he can.

Ray: Well thank you captain obvious, but he has to be quick, because not everybody is exhausted yet. .

Purest: He is quick, and that is another reason he is a part of my stable, he will definitely be a main eventer in the next couple of years.

However Vlad has seen what Thunder is trying to do and proceeds to run over to the cage wall and grasps his hands around the cage wall and lift himself up giving chase to Alex. Vlad is able to reach Alex and whilst still holding onto the cage wall, lift his legs up and connects his heels with Alex’s mouth. Alex now lest go from the pain or maybe he was unconscious for a nano second, whatever the reason, Thunder falls off and falls on top of Matt, who was in the process of making his way to his feet, both Alex and Olivera are down. Vlad however cannot continue his ascension as he hasn’t got his balance right. This gives KB enough time to start his ascent and grabs Vlad’s back and pulls down, forcing his former best friend off the cage and onto to both Matt and Thunder below.

Pate: What presence of mind the by Kingbear to climb the cage and pull Vlad off, not allowing him to get to one of those windows.

Ray: He was just lucky that Vlady lost his balance when he knocked your boy Thunder off (looks at Purest).

Purest: Guess he wasn’t quick enough aye.

Ray just disregards that comment, as the match continues. Due to KB’s height, he isn’t that far from the floor and is pulled off by Krylon with little effect on the big man. Krylon and KB now come to blows, with Krylon extending his right out and connecting with KB’s face, while the Bear does the same to Krylon, each taking turns. Soon however KB gets the better of Krylon and backs him into one of the cage corners. KB now backs up, looking to rush and attack Krylon. However out the corner of the big man’s eye, he sees Phenomena charging at him, KB then turns around so he is facing Phenomena and proceeds to lift his big right boot upwards and connects with the charging man’s face, KB shakes his head, as Purest can be heard laughing. KB turns his attention again to Krylon and proceeds to charge at him, a fair bit slower the Phenomena; however the little distraction has allowed Krylon to regain his bearings enough to see his impending attack. Krylon now charges out and lift his right boot upwards and connects with KB’s face, very similar to that of Phenomena’s.

Pate: That little distraction may have cost Kingbear there, but what flexibility by Krylon to get that high up.

Ray: I wish I could be that flexible.

Purest: Ok that just disgusting.

Krylon now seems to be the only man standing until AJ makes his way to his feet. The two meet “face to face” with Krylon obviously larger than Scally. Krylon now grasps AJ’s hand and proceeds to throw him into the corner; upon impact AJ face shows the anguish of pain. Krylon slowly walks over to AJ and extends his right hand out, closed fist, connecting with AJ’s face, he now repeats with his left hand then right again until AJ is sitting in the corner. Krylon then grasps his hands around the Flying Phenomenon’s head and forcefully drags him to his feet; Krylon then walks back a bit and then charges looking for another big boot; however AJ is able to duck the extended leg of Krylon. Scally now behind the big man, jumps up and on the way down wraps his hands around Krylon’s head and lands in a reverse DDT on the concrete, the crowd cheer wildly.

Purest: YES!!! What a DDT there by Scally, he is truly Phenomenal.

Pate: That was indeed a damn good counter.

Ray: I hate to say it, but it was very good.

AJ is now on one knee trying to regather his breath...

Positions:

Matt, Vlad, Thunder and Hawkeye are getting to their feet.

KB and Phenomena are regathering their bearings

AJ Scally is catching his breath and on one knee

Krylon is down on his back

[Krylon]

Purest for a few seconds takes of his headset and comes ringside to watch it up closely. Scally after catching his breath strolls towards Phenomena who’s still trying to recover completely, AJ then grabs his counteragent Phenomena, turns him upside-down, and drops into a kneeling position, driving the Phenomena’s head into the mat connecting with a thunderous piledriver in the middle of the four sided structure. Just as Scally turns around after the piledriver, he finds Vladimir Strife lifting and elevating him then using a large portion of Vladmir’s own body weight to drive the competitor Scally right onto the ground causing a huge impact with a damaging suplex on Scally. Scally stands tall, and later strolls towards Phenomena, and the two-sixty nine pounder from Romania makes Phenomena facing the other side and then Vladimir first straddles one of the legs of Phenomena, then reaches over the Phenomena’s near arm with the arm close to the his back and locks it applying a perfectly timed Abdominal stretch. But Vladimir having it in his knowledge that there is danger at the back quickly squatters and twists to the side, flexes his opponent’s back and stretches their abdomen, applying more intensity to the hold and inflicting pain to Phenomena.

Ray White
The Romanian hot shot definitely is in the mood now, after taking out Scally, and now with a hard locked abdominal stretch on Phenomena.

Jimmy Pete
Oh my, look at the other side, King Bear has just come to life and has lifted Krylon up in the air for a powerbomb. That’s a damn superheavyweight about to drive another three hundred pound heavyweight on concrete floor. Holy crap.

King Bear had lifted Krylon up on his shoulders in a powerbomb position ready to smash him down on the floor but the Black Devil Krylon smashes his rights and left on King Bear’s face and pokes the super heavyweight in the eyes and escapes the clutches of the three seventy nine pound giant. Krylon after coming back to the floor and to his feet, uses his own head to strike a the big skull of King Bear, to daze him and bust him wide open, Death Squad’s ace Krylon then smashes rights and lefts to King Bear trying to take the momentum off the super heavyweight smashing his rights and lefts with immense pace and quickness onto the face, the body followed by a kick to the groin. King Bear still dazed by the eye poke and the headbutt tries to defend but Krylon takes a step forward and quickly comes forward charging at King Bear, and takes a direct shot of Bear’s groin delivering a low blow, the offense in punishable by disqualification but in this match there were no disqualifications so Krylon, the black Devil took one or two more shots to the groin of King Bear trying to knock out the huge figure. King Bear though refuses to fall down, but Krylon, the blood hound in a split second takes a few steps backwards and hotfoots forward towards a bending King Bear, applying the front facelock and then puts one of his legs on one of the Bear’s arms before falling backward and driving the superheavyweight head first to the mat, as Abbadon’s pit witnesses the black Devil Krylon delivering a thunderous Scissored Ddt to the superheavyweight King Bear, who’s dazed and knocked out on the floor as the arena takes a wicked breeze and roars vibrate the arena from the EVPW fans all around.

Jimmy Pete
What an absolutely amazing Scissored DDT by Krylon, That must’ve knocked King Bear’s lights out but in the process Krylon has inflicted damage to himself as well, falling at his back and now on the ground.

Ray White
Well that’s definitely one of the most impact moves of the match today. A three hundred heavyweight smashing another three fifty pound plus superheavyweight with a DDT, it just can’t get better.

Jimmy Pete
Well the 379 pound King Bear from Concord must be wondering what just hit him.

On the other side of the Pit, Oliveira the hardcore genius brawls with, Alex Thunder.
Oliveira and the Shock Prophet deliver the rights and lefts to each other taking no time for anyone to get technical going for normal strikes one after another, but Alex Thunder in between low blows Matthew kicking him the groin and later precedes a sidestep and tries to smash a high side thrust kick with the sole of the foot aiming for Matthew’s head, but Matthew expertly counters the Superkick attempt and gets hold of Alex’s right foot, and extends his arm out from the side of the body and parallel to the ground, hitting the shock Prophet in the neck or chest and knocking him on the floor with a powerful clothesline followed a huge pop by the fans. The Hardcore genius as he calls himself then lifts up The Shock Prophet Alex Thunder and then drops his competitor Thunder, so that the Alex’s back is bent backwards against a part of Matthew’s body, knocking the lights of Alex with a dangerous backbreaker.

Ray White
Well, Matthew surely recovering well to that Superkick attempt by Thunder. I just love this match.

Jimmy Pete
And it’s just a matter of fucking time before the weapons are brought back into the action. Right now, every superstar is heading for more technical moves rather than going for their ammunition.

Vladimir Strife out of nowhere grabs Hawkeye’s head and jumps forward, so that he lands, sitting position, and drives Hawkeye’s face on the mat knocking Hawkeye out with a bulldog. Vladimir then turns around, as Krylon finally tries to get up and AJ Scally also finds his feet back drowsily. Krylon, Scally, Oliveira and Vladimir find themselves on their feet now. Scally quickly rushes away from Vladimir heading into Oliveira opening up his arms delivering a clothesline to Matthew and getting into action with him. Vladimir however waits for Krylon to completely get up, as Death Squad’s Krylon turns around, Vladimir charges towards Krylon aiming for a clothesline but Krylon ducks/crouches down and evades Vladimir and comes back with a left handed uppercut, followed by a boxing punch from the right hand. Vladimir’s experience though gives him no pain at all as he recovers with a kick to Krylon’s ribs and later trying to go for the DDT, but just when Strife applies the front-face lock Krylon smashes his elbow into Strife’s ribs trying to reverse it. Vladimir loses his clamp on the Demonic Devil, and Krylon then, edges forward, kicks Vladimir in the groin and Krylon then grabs hold of the left arm of Strife, wraps his legs around the throat of Vladimir and arm in a figure four and squeezes tightly locking Vladimir into a technical Triangle choke.

Ray White
And Krylon has Vladimir in the triangle choke. This is dangerous for the arguably the favorite of this match. Vladimir Strife.

Jimmy Pete
Well, you have dozens of superstars around you and you opt for a submission? What is Krylon thinking of? You have people like Phenomena and Hawkeye on the verge of recovering and you go for a submission with your back turned on? This can prove to be a vital decision for the man who calls himself the Black Devil.

Ray White
I don’t know whether it was a good decision or not but Krylon is really increasing the intensity of that triangle choke by stretching his body more as Vladimir Strife looks to battle on.


Situation:
Krylon has Vlad locked in a triangle choke.
King Bear is still knocked out after the scissored DDT by Krylon.
Matthew and Scally are brawling.
Phenomena, Hawkeye and Alex Thunder are buying their time and trying to regain their stamina and shaking off the pain and bruises.


TBCB.

[Vladimir Strife]

AJ Scally hits a hard right on Matthew, teetering him back for a second before the Master of the Magnum returns with a high velocity ball of knuckles to the chin of Scally. AJ drops onto his rump, but quickly manages his way back up, Oliveira waiting there for him, looking impatient all the meanwhile. Matt leans his face forward, purposely leaving himself wide open for shots from the Flying Phenomenon, perhaps a showing of pity for the boy, possibly the outcome of an inflated ego. AJ takes him up on the offer, swinging his fist tightly and sharply across the jawline of the masochist. The Amherst Annihilator takes the blow and looks at Scally with a sly grin, the violence doled out fueling the fire within him. He holds still, egging on more of the same. Another strike falls across his cheek, but his hunger remains unsatisfied as he continues to eye his opponent, waiting for better from him.

JP: Oliveira is just taking shots from Scally and practically begging for more!!
Ray: Psht, that panzy AJ probably is barely bringing any actual damage at all! Matthew Oliveira has been through a hell of a lot worse than a few punches, Jimmy, there's no way this is even bothering him.

As Krylon continues the Triangle Choke, seeking to make Vladimir possibly pass out in it, the King struggles more and more. The grip is vice-like however and it seems that the Black Devil has no intentions of reconciling the move. The Czar of Scars walk forward into the hold, pitting the competitor into a position that would usually warrant a pinfall attempt. Pulling his free arm back, Strife has seen his opening and now slams his clenched fist into the exposed face of the attacker. The back of Krylon's skull is shoved against the concrete, the rebound bringing on a popping sound from the connection. Vladimir follows with another sturdy strike, slamming the goth's cranium to the floor once more. The hold on his body goes limp, loosening as Deviler fights the impending darkness surrounding his vision. No mercy is granted to him as the Wrath of Romania uses his newly freed hand to grasp the other, lacing his fingers together and pressing palms to each other. He lifts them high before slamming the Polish Hammer down across the near-unconscious Krylon's jaw, splitting his vision doubled.

JP: A brutal, relentless assault from Vladimir to counter out of that powerful Triangle Choke hold Krylon had locked in!
Ray: Yeah! No one fucks with my Vladdy!
Purest: Well, I'm sure his fiancee' does.
Ray: Hey, shut up! That's just a cover up! Deep down, I know he loves me!

While Ray fantasizes at ringside, the bout goes on, the modern days gladiators all looking for more destruction to inflict on the rest of the poor bastards inside this horrific structure. AJ Scally has his fist pulled back, lined up to pop another notch into Oliveira's game. Krylon lay still on the concrete, barely moving after the series of blows from the Hardcore King. KingBear has taken up shop in the corner, beads of crimson dripping across his wardrobe from an incision in his forehead. As Phenomena and Alex Thunder rise to a vertical stance, they immediately dart toward the other, arms raised as they lock up. The two men push and shove, jockeying for an advantage like Elks duking it out for mating rights. The Flying Assassin, Hawkeye, observes the two and their mindless battle of strength, himself tucked in the corner to preserve his energy and strength. Vladimir Strife stands up straight, flipping a bit of hair out of his face and rubbing away some of the soreness in his bicep. They called it Abaddon's Pit, but the men locked inside knew different, knew better. Welcome to Hell, gentlemen, population: 8. There were still 4 men to come and already they'd seen one resign from the bout and another taken out on a stretcher.

Alex Thunder twists himself, leering Phenomena into the cage wall. The High Flying Hero winces in pain, but remains entrapped in the lock-up, pushing against Thunder and moving him back before he can stop the motion and stand his ground to the force. Several feet away, AJ slams his fist into the temple of the Hardcore Genius, rattling his sights. Feeling a sense of strength and power, he is unaware of the danger lurking just behind him. Vladimir grabs Scally's arm and ducks his head into the opening, looking as though he is offering himself to a headlock. The King is not so generous as his Genius counterpart, however, using the position to instead lift AJ off of his feet and into the air. He holds him there, Matt taking the hint and pulling the man's legs over the top of his shoulders. Relieving Tepes of 245 lbs of weight, Oliveira moves the Australian Aerialist into prime positioning for a powerbomb. As Strife drops down to one knee, sticking the other out in front of him, the two KULTists smile deviously. Matthew pushes the youngster forward, sending him down to the ground. The back of his head careens across the Czar's patella, causing his neck to jerk forward and connect his chin to his collarbone. Vlad brushes off his knee while coming back up to both feet and looking at his former tag partner and rival.

"Another for the meat wagon!"

As the two titans stand in front of the other, camera's flash throughout the arena, an audience left on their feet at the sight of the hardcore God's meeting in contest for the first time in a year. Two innovators of hardcore, perfecter's of pain, masters of mania. The Ayatollah of Anarchy ((favor returned? hopefully )) and the Titan of Terror nod to one another, both acknowledging the symbolism of their attires of choice. The men break from the gaze quickly, ruining several fans photo opportunities as they make for Phenomena and Thunder. They stop the men's fight as they pull them away from one another, the Genius choosing to victimize Thunder and the GodKing taking the left overs. The four begin by brawling with one another, each looking to make an opening for themselves. As Amherst's finest steps beside his choice of prey, he slings his arm over Thunder's shoulders, much like a good buddy might. Wrapping his leg around Alex's, it's clear that the Maple Leaf Mauler is no friend of his. Meanwhile, the Ironman of Impact has taken another route, hanging Phenomena's arm over the back of his head instead, then doing the same with his own arm.

Oliveira slings his weight backwards, ripping Alex from his feet and down to the concrete, both men hitting with their weight behind them and rolling off to opposite sides to regain their breath as well as their composure. Thunder has his arms wrapped around his cranium, a testament that his back was not the only casualty of the fall. Next to them, Vladimir hunches down and pulls Phenomena into the air overhead, holding him upside down to let the blood rush to his head. Allowing himself to lean backwards, Strife and his prone victim drop to the ground like a timbering tree, both suffering the results on their back and shoulders. The KULT members are the first back to their feet, each ready for more fun in the match, giving little thought to the fact that they were wearing themselves down with only two-thirds of the matches participants at hand.

JP: You know, Matthew Oliveira and Vladimir Strife alone are each pretty much guaranteed spots in the final four, simply working alone. With these men on the same page though, there is easily a chance of them waltzing not only into the final four, but being the last two men left in this match with little to no resistance!
Ray: I know! It's beautiful! They're unstoppable and my baby and Matt are going to leave this cage filled with broken bodies!
Purest: While I can't say I'm really a fan of either of these men's attitudes, you can't really argue with their tactics. Working together makes them nearly untouchable. In the end though, this is still every man for themselves and at one point or another, this alliance is going to boil down to who is the first to make the move on the other.

As they begin to make their ways to their respective downed enemies, Hawkeye comes running out of his corner and throws himself into Matthew with an outstretched arm. As the men drop from the lariat, Strife comes after them, looking to remove the pest on his old friend. Before he can make the save, however, he is rammed from the side and sent flying into the cage wall. As he scrambled to, KingBear is waiting for him, his massive paws held out in front of him and looking for a fight. Vlad ducks a shot from his former mentor, knuckles scraping the steel links. As the Flying Assassin throws fist after fist against Ollie's face, seeking revenge for the earlier attack, he is caught across the side of the head with a stomp that sends him tumbling over. There is no time for thanks as the Genius reverses his previous situation, rolling over to sit on Hawkeye and pummel him. Saving Matt has damned the Kingdom leader though, giving KingBear time to recover as he slams his forearms into the back of the Undefeated Behemoth.

Vlad stumbles forward and is immediately grabbed by Papa Bear, who turns him around and sends him soaring into the cage wall once more, hitting it face first and grabbing on to keep from falling. As he turns himself around, KB is rushing in straight for him, the big man raising his leg high to meet Vlad with a knee to the gut, causing him to lurch forward. The big man grabs onto the cage, using it to his advantage as he pulls himself into Strife over and over, striking his stomach with his knee until the King feels he might puke. Oliveira, having disposed of Hawkeye for the moment, comes up behind the super heavyweight, Vlad's club in his hand. He jabs the end of the stick into the mighty bear's ribs, a roar coming out of him as he feels it. A whack of the stick across his upper back sends the company CEO down to his knees, Vladimir raising a knee of his own now and connecting with his former friend's jaw, pushing him off finally.

Matt relinquishes the club to it's rightful owner, Vlad giving him a grunt as he looks down to KingBear, ready for some revenge of his own now. The Masked Michigander jumps onto Oliveira, locking in a headlock as the Genius struggles to fight him off. Strife, hearing the ruckus, turns and brings his weapon down deftly on the crown of Hawkeye's skull. The luchadore releases his hold and slinks back down to the ground, KULT in complete control at the moment as Matt turns to further assault him. Tepes turns his attention back towards KingBear and is surprised instead by the sharp blow of a metal baseball bat across his temple, knocking him lifelessly against the cage, where he bounces against it and sprawls out on the concrete. All motion from the King has ceased, save breathing, knocked unconscious from the deafening shot. Hearing the impact, the Cut Throat Canadian abandons his plans for Hawkeye and turns back towards the Impaler, KingBear aiming for another home run as he brings the end of the dented bat across the sternum of Oliveira and leaves him on the floor as well, standing alone and solitary.

Purest: KingBear has cleaned house!! Holy shit, what a showing!
JP: Damn straight! He just knocked that ungrateful prick Vlad into next week!
Ray: Don't you talk bad about my Vlad!!
JP: Oh, do something about it, you asswipe!


Status Report:

Kingbear is standing in the middle of the cage.

Phenomena, Hawkeye, Krylon, Vladimir, Matthew, AJ and Alex Thunder are all down, recovering.

Bishamon, Nathan Drake, Nightmare, and Stan Dreamer are in their locker rooms, respectively taking a shit.

[KingBear]

KingBear slowly reaches his paw-like hand up to his face, swiping at it quickly and spreading the blood over his face. KingBear lets out a low growl as he looks around the cage slowly, waiting for someone to show signs of movement. The first man to move is Krylon and KingBear sees this, quickly moving over to the man and kneeling down, seeming to whisper something into his ear. Krylon nods his head in a 'yes' fashion and KingBear moves away from him slowly, he then sees AJ Scally stir on the concrete and again he quickly moves over to the man, kneels down and seems to speak quietly to him. AJ Scally responds in the same fashion as Krylon as KingBear moves off of him and over to his old friend, Hawkeye, and helps him to a standing base. Hawkeye slinks down into the arms of KingBear, his legs barely able to support him as KingBear attempts to keep him 'standing'.

JP: I have a pretty good feeling about what's going on in the ring here. I think KingBear is using his experience as an older wrestler and he's setting up a crew to help make his situations with Vlad a bit easier.

Ray: No! Dont do it! Dont take out my Vladdy!

Purest: Well, this is a good idea if you ask me. Probably one of the best ways to ensure your position in the final four.

KingBear taps Hawk on the cheek lightly, trying to help him snap out of his stupor as Krylon and Scally slowly get to their feet. Scally and Krylon look back at KingBear uneasily before looking back to Vladimir, knowing this may be their only hope of advancing in this match. Krylon is the first to move on the downed behemoth, he leans down and grabs Strife by his head and brings him to a wobbly standing position. Krylon then lurches forward and wraps his arms around the body of Strife, hoisting him into the air, AJ Scally takes the hint and leaps up, grabbing the head of the GodKing and bringing him down with a neckbreaker. Vlads body convulses with the impact and the two assassins of the Bear King move over to Matt O, they look back to KingBear and KingBear nods them on. Scally quickly moves over to the cage wall and scales it with speed as Krylon hoists Oliveira up to a standing position, Scally comes off the side of the cage with a cross body block, slamming into Oliveira as Krylon throws a low drop kick to the back of the legs of the Genius.

JP: They're executing perfectly!

Ray: Save him!

As this is going on, Alex Thunder has finally shaken the cobwebs from his head and he forces his reluctant body to a standing position. Thunder looks around the ring slowly, seeing Scally and Krylon picking apart Vlad and Matt and KingBear and Hawkeye standing in the corner of the cage, regaining their energy. Thunder scratches his head wondering what Scally and Krylon are doing not attacking KB and Hawk, he then neverminds that thought and moves in on the two oldest wrestlers in the match. He charges at the men, spreading his arm to the side for a clothesline, KingBear sees this and quickly shoves Hawkeye away from the force of the attack and takes the clothesline full forced. Thunder slams into the cage behind KB as the big man flops to the ground. Thunder shakes his head from the heavy impact to the cage and turns to finish off his task. But as he turns he sees something he was hoping to not see for the rest of the match, a boot flying into his face. The Aerial Assassin recovers from the spin kick and stands over the body of Thunder and flips, head over heels, from a standing position before landing on Thunder with a standing moonsault.

JP: What athleticism from Hawkeye, the man has his age against him but he can still hold his own against the younger guys.

Ray: VLADY! NO!!!

Krylon and Scally again set their sights on Vladimir Strife, Scally quickly picks Strife up and hooks him up in a full nelson. Krylon then moves in and begins throwing fists into the body and face of the God King. After he throws one last heavy punch to the body of Strife, Scally lifts the Undefeated Behemoth up and throws his feet back, slamming Vlad into the concrete with a Full Nelson Slam. Scally is slow to rise after the slam, his body already having taken its toll in this match. Krylon sees this and realizes it's his only chance to solidify his spot in the final four. Scally grins and goes to high five Krylon but Krylon throws his arm high and hooks Scally before tossing him with a hip toss, Krylon follows this up with a quick leg drop to the sternum of Scally. Scally rolls around on the concrete, holding his chest as Krylon comes to a standing position, throwing his arms into the air in a triumphant cheer. He then moves to the side of the cage and begins a slow ascent to the top, towards the second level. But much to his dismay, he feels a hand grab his ankle, he shakes viciously trying to free himself before looking down into the eyes of the Genius himself. Krylons peepers go wide with surprise and Oliveira yanks him off balance and down to his shoulders, Krylon holds onto the cage tightly as Oliveira trys to throw the big man forward with a devastating powerbomb. The fight looks like it's being won by Krylon until Hawkeye comes from across the ring, using slowly rising back of AJ Scally as a pedestal to bring him up to a higher point. Hawkeye latches onto the back of Krylon and forces him off the cage, as the two men are falling with the force of Oliveira's push, Hawkeye throws his feet outward and slams down on AJ Scally, planting him back into the concrete and softening his blow and Krylons head bounces off of the concrete with a sickening crack.

JP: Oh god... I think Krylons head may have been cracked open on that attack..

Ray: Nah, he's got a hard head, that was probably the concrete cracking beneath the hit!

Purest: You're just weird Ray.

Hawkeye slowly rolls off of Scally and begins his climb to a standing position until that climb is haulted early by a fist to the back of the head by The Genius himself. Hawkeye falls back to the concrete and Matt O. lifts him up to a standing position before leaning down and grabbing his feet, tearing them from underneath and causing Hawk to slam his head into the concrete. Oliveira adjusts himself just right then falls backward, putting his knees up and catapulting Hawkeye into the cage with amazing power, causing the older star to crumple in pain. The Hardcore Innovator gets up to his feet slowly and turns only to see KingBear coming at him with a scary ferocity, however before KingBear can reach the Genius he stumbles and falls flat on his face as Vlad looks up at Matt with a sick grin. On KB's way down Oliveira drops to a kneel quickly and KingBears head slams into his knee. Vlad and the Innovator help KingBear to a standing position they then throw their arms over his shoulders and grab his pants, hoisting him to a vertical base before slamming him back with a Double Team Suplex. The Bear King's body convulses with the move and the crowd lets out a light gasp at the fall of their hero. The KULTists rise to their feet quickly and see Alex Thunder coming to a vertical base and the lock arms quickly and run at him, slamming into him with a Double Clothesline, forcing the big Thunder to the concrete with a thud.

JP: This is amazing, this series started out with Vlad and Matt down and out due to the teamwork of Scally and Krylon, but now those two are the only ones standing!

Ray: Yay! Vlady poo!

Purest: Well it's obvious Jimmy, this whole thing fell apart when Krylon turned on AJ Scally. The enforcers of the Big Bear were no longer effective when they stopped working together and got greedy.

JP: I agree, the key to winning this match. Heck the key to even surviving this match is simply teamwork. And that's exactly why Matt and Vlad are almost destined to make it that far, they work together.

TBCB Anyone

Situation:

KB, Hawk, Scally, Thunder and Krylon are all down favoring their perspective injuries.

Matt and Vlad remain standing after taking out Hawk, KB and Alex Thunder.

[The Flying Assassin]

Vlad and Matthew Oliviera look around and smile at the carnage of bodies laying in the ring. Hawkeye is seen unmoving and barely breathing as he sits against the cage, Kingbear is groaning and doubled over on the ground. Scally finds after a while he is up to one knee and breathing heavy as he feels warm stickiness on his body. Krylon’s body convulses and shakes every now and then as he remains to appear unconscious. Alex Thunder is shaking the cobwebs out from his head and thinks he is on Dream Street. Vladimir looks at his partner Matthew and the smile comes off there faces as they stand toe to toe each one knowing what the other one knew would happen. Both men stare at each other as Alex looks out and see’s both men staring at each other he then quickly surveys the scene and see’s that Scally is almost standing. The two make quick eye contact and nod to each other as both men slowly look around for what ever object they can find laying on the ground inside this cage.

Purest:Wow! Looks like Alex and Scally are going to make it to there feet if they are smart they will work together as a team instead of worrying about each other and take down Vladimir and Matt O who have shown complete dominance during this match.

Pate:These two know what they are doing and when they step into the ring you need to really have a good game plan because they can destroy what ever you thought you were going to do. Oh look they are the only ones left and you knew it was going to come to this sooner or later.

Vladimir taunts Matthew to hit him with his best shot and Matthew not one to back down slaps the chest of Vladimir with his open hand, this in turn causes Vladimir to flinch his muscles before he in return slaps back harder at the chest of Matt O. Matt O flinches his chest and turns around taking several steps from Vlad before turning around and charging at Vlad who ducks down as Matt O misses with a closeline. Alex Thunder not paying attention as he had bent down to find a stick doesn’t see Matt O come charging at him. Alex stands up and turns only to get his head taken off as Matt O makes contact to the throat of Alex Thunder with his forearm closelining him. Alex finds his body goes stiff before going limp and then crashing to the ground as the object in his hand is dislodged and lies next to his body. Matt O bends down seeing the broken stick and smiles as he bends down picking it up and holding it in his right hand. Vlad stands up and turns to look just in time at a charging Scally and he brings his boot out catching Scally in the gut doubling him over, Vladimir applies a front face lock on Scally throwing Scally’s near arm across their shoulders. Vladimir proceeds to grab Scally's near leg hooking it. Vladimir lifts Scally so they are upside down and then drops Scally straight down causing Scally to land on the crown of his head. Scally feels the spine jar and compound on impact as Vlad lets go and stands with a smile on his face.

White:That’s what I am talking about look at the way that my Vlady Poo dropped Scally onto the hard concrete with that brainbuster type move! I love it when Vlad is so violent in this ring. I mean there is not a man who will ever come close to the mark that this man continues to set. I would so love to be in his locker room after this match and working over his body…Owww! What was that for?

Matt holding the stick in his hands smiles as he mounts the down body of Alex Thunder and taking the pointed part of the broken stick begins to jab it into the neck of Alex Thunder the wood pokes the skin near the wind pipe causing speckles of blood to begin to form on the neck. Krylon is upto his feet and he runs across the encampment and brings his big boot up into the air as it makes contact with the Hardcore Genius hitting him in the side of the head. The impact causes Matt’s head to bend almost sickly as she slumps down to the ground. Krylon proceeds to keep the attack up and bends down picking up Matt and standing him to his feet. Krylon proceeds to send Matt into the corner where the enclosed Iron Maiden sits. Matt not able to stop himself turns his body as the back of his head and spine make contact with the cold metal leaving a small imprint in the process. Kingbear is up to one knee and has his hands on the ground breathing heavy sweat dripping from his body. Vlad looks over and seeing his old friend Kingbear getting to his feet quickly makes his way over. Hawkeye remains leaning against the cage his chest moves up and down slowly as he keeps his eyes open just enough to see what is going on but closed enough that he seems to still be out of it.

The crowd is seen cheering as Krylon waits for Matt to stumble out of the corner and walk right into the waiting arms of Krylon who stands side-to-side and slightly behind Matt O, facing in the same direction, reaching around Matt's torso with his near arm crossing Matt's chest and under both arms proceeds to then place the other arm under Matt's legs. Krylon then lifts him, bringing his legs off the ground and falls down to the mat in a sitting position, slamming Matt into the concrete back-first. The impact causes a sharp pain to shoot though mats spine and shoulders as Krylon stands back up to his feet and looks around seeing Vladimir making his way towards Kingbear. Vladimir makes it over to Kingbear and looks down at his old friend as he grabs a hold of his head with his left hand and reigns down punches with his right hand as he speaks.You should have stayed out of this. It didn’t have to come to this again. You and I both know that your not the man you used too be. We both know that your over the hill, your best days are behind you, that your washed up and the only reasons these fans cheer you is because they are being nice.Kingbear grumbles through clenched teeth as Vlad reigns the punches down causing blood to begin to appear on the forehead.If you think that I am I washed up! If you think that I should not have been out here. If you think that I wasn’t prepared for this outcome. Then my friend you are not as smart as I thought.Kingbear begins to stand to his feet shrugging off the blows from Vladimir. Vladimir begins to feel his feet lifting of the ground as he feels his air being cut off from the massive hand of Kingbear who has his hand wrapped around the throat of Vlad. As he stands to his full height, Vlad finds his hands gripping onto the wrist of Kingbear trying to break the grip but is failing miserbly. Kingbear roars to the approval of the crowd and lifts Vladimir off the ground using his other hand to support the back of Vladimir. Kingbear then drops to the mat as he slams Vlad hard to the concrete with a chokeslam. Kingbear smiles as Vlad feels the sharp tinge of pain run through his body.

Pate:Amazing show of strength from Kingbear onto Vladimir! I couldn’t quite make out what was said between the two but what ever was said it sparked Kingbear and set him off.

Purest:This could be bad news now if Kingbear is in on the prowl. You know that when a bear is angry it is very, very bad news for who ever angered the bear.

White:Noooooo! That is not supposed to happen to Vlad. Oh I don’t know sometimes why I have to call these matches I mean there is lots of nice men in the ring going at it trying to kill themselves over a prize but why like this…Why does my Vlady pooh have to be in it?

Kingbear lifts his massive foot and proceeds to drive it down onto the chest of Vladimir the impact causes Vlad’s body jerk and shake. Alex and Scally both are up onto the feet but only Alex finds a cage to lean against for support. Scally stumbles around for a bit before find something to support him. Krylon looks around and then looks down at Matt who is slowly trying to turn his body over and get to his feet. Krylon bends down helping Matt get to his feet before spinning him around and locking in a full nelson. Krylon screams out some orders and Alex Thunder leans off the cage and drops to his knees has he lands a punch into the gut of Matt. Scally leans off the cage and stumbles his way over to the group of Alex, Krylon, and a held up Matt O and he begins to join in on the fun. Krylon continues to hold Matt O in the full nelson as both Alex and Scally take turns beating on him. Both men each have long objects in there hands and as the objects make contact with the skin you see red marks.

Pate:That is one way to keep an opponent from doing anything look at the teamwork being shown by the three men. Matt is taking a beating and I don’t think he expected it to be like this.

Purest:As we have seen throughout this match, Team work with someone you know seems to be the way to survive and best get you into the final four. You have Kingbear and Hawkeye who are a team, Matt O and Vladimir we know are a team and then you have my team the Lo Cash Cowboys Alex Thunder and Scally and then Krylon well he is a tag team all unto his own it would seem.

Kingbear goes over and checks on Hawkeye slapping him lightly only to get a groan. Kingbear helps Hawkeye up to his feet and leans him against the cage as he chuckles looking over the fight that has taken place. Hawkeye looks up and winks as he pushes himself off the cage. And bends down to stand Vladimir up to his feet bending him over and tucking Vlads head under his arm, Hawkeye though is caught by surprise when he feels the arms of Vlad wrap around his waist and Vlad standing to his feet lifting Hawkeye up off the ground and flipping him over his body. Hawkeye though turns through the flip and lands on the ground his hands and feet touch. Vlad though gets no time to react as Kingbear drives a big boot into the kisser of Vlad the impact turns Vlad around and drops him down to his knees. Hawkeye stands and takes a run just to the right of Vlad and runs up the fence pushing off as he flips into the air, wrapping his arm around the neck of Vladimir as he comes down to a sitting position driving the back of Vladimir’s head onto the concrete with force that Vlad’s teeth rattle in his mouth. Kingbear grins as Hawkeye stands to his feet the two friends make there way over to the other corner where Krylon and company are beating on Matt O. Matt O continues to take the beating his mind conscious the pain he is feeling helping him to think. Krylon suddenly loosens his hold which is enough to allow Matt O to drop to a sitting postion as the two objects that Scally and Thunder were holding wrap into the gut of Krylon doubling him over. Scally and Thunder look at each other and then to Krylon and then they find themselves contorting there faces and dropping the sticks as they bring there hands to there nuts falling to the ground as Matt O brought up two arms between there legs.

White:That is one way to get out of the hold, but did he have to go hurt the men’s jewels I mean those are going to need special attention now. Oh wait I am trained in giving jewels special attention.

Purest:Jimmy you put up with this every week? How have you done it? I would have beaten him senseless by now.

Matt O stands to his feet as he grabs both heads of Scally and Alex holding them out arms length before then shoving both of them face first into the Iron Maiden that got set up in the corner. Scally and Alex feel there faces getting warm and sticky as they fall to the ground. Krylon is standing up to his feet but finds he has trouble as Matt stomps down on the side of Krylon’s knee preventing the big man from standing and also damaging the knee. Kingbear is the first of the two men to get over there and Matt O smiles as he watches the big bear limping slightly making his way to the corner. Matt O takes several steps forward as he waits for Kingbear his attention focused on King bear that he doesn’t notice Hawkeye who is hiding behind Kingbear grab a hold of Kingbears waist and using it for momentum slides around the right side driving both feet into the chest of Matt O sending him back as the crowd cheers at the team work between the former Coven members.

Hawkeye goes towards the Iron Maiden that has been set up as Kingbear bends down and picks up Matt O before tucking him between his legs and wrapping his massive arms around the waist of Matt O as he bends over. Kingbear stands up lifting Matt O up into the air on his shoulders before then driving Matt O down hard to the concrete with a powerbomb. Sweat splatters as Matt O hits the concrete hard. Hawkeye opens up the Iron Maiden and pulls out a bed of nails that he proceeds to lay on the ground. Hawkeye then reaches down grabbing the dazed and battered Matt O stands him up proceeds to apply a front facelock draping Matt's near arm over their shoulder. Hawkeye then takes hold of the Matt’s torso with their free arm and lifts Matt to a vertical position. The facelock is loosened as Hawkeye twists the position slightly, Hawkeye then falls to a sitting position and Matt's back and shoulders are driven into the the bed of nails. Matt lets out a scream of pain as Hawkeye jumps quickly off the bed of nails as nail prints are seen in the back of his tights which are ripped slightly. The crowd cheer and a Hawkeye Chant breaks out among the crowd. Scally slowly gets up to his feet and doesn’t feel Kingbear grab him by the scruff of the neck and proceed to throw him into the open casket that is the Iron Maiden. The fans can now see that the door part is lined with shiny metal spikes. Ray goes to cover his eyes as Kingbear throws Scally into the Iron Maiden and Hawkeye slams the door shut causing Scally to let out a blood curdling scream as the spikes puncture his body just enough to draw blood.

Pate:Oh my god! Did you see that?!?!?! Matt O took a Falcon Arrow onto a bed of nails! A bed of nails! Um Purest I am not sure about your Scally though he appears to be locked inside the contraption that Hawkeye brought out and continues to scream. I have never seen such a contraption before and I don’t know if I want to see one again.

Purest:Scally is a big man and the Lo Cash Cowboys are not done yet. Scally may be tied up and hurting but this match is far from over. Uh oh it looks like Vladimir has made it to his feet and he is headed towards the the corner with everyone else.

White:That was just sick and disgusting! I mean the bed of nails is one thing we have seen something like that. But a damn contraption with spikes on the inside of it that locks someone in. I don’t know. I mean is there such a thing as going to far?

Hawkeye opens up the door on the Iron Maiden and Scally falls out flat on his face as blood patterns show on the concrete from where his skin had been punctured hundreds of times. Hawkeye rolls Matt O off the bed of nails which still seem to be unbent and standing up as he bends down picking up Alex Thunder Hawkeye again applys a front facelock this time to Alex and drapes Alex's near arm over their shoulder. Hawkeye then takes hold of Alex's torso with their free arm and lifts Alex to a vertical position. The facelock is loosened as Hawkeye twists Alex slightly, Hawkeye again falls to a sitting position over the bed of nails and Alex's back and shoulders are driven into bed of nails. Alex screams out as the nails are driven into his skin. Hawkeye again jumps around as the nails have punctured his legs and ripped the tights some more. Vladimir is seen charging at Kingbear who has his back turned unaware. Hawkeye points and Kingbear turns around at the last minute reaching around the torso of the charging Vladimir and lifts him up into the air spinning three hundred and sixty degrees before slamming him onto his back onto the bed of nails causing Vladimir to scream in pain as the nails dig into his flesh. Hawkeye and Kingbear look around and smile to each other as each one leans against the cage catching there breath.

Hawkeye, Kingbear leaning against the cage catching there wind.

Scally, Matt O, Vlad, Alex bleeding in pain on the ground. Krylon slowly trying to get to his feet.

[MattOliveira]

JP: "...a bed of nails and an iron maiden...this is pushing it. It's insane. It's in-human. It just isn't right anymore. It's plain stupid."
Purest: "...and man, do I ever feel lucky."
Ray: "I feel pretty lucky myself, Purest. Say...have I mentioned how much I LOVE mutton chops?"
Purest: "No. And let's keep it that way. In fact, scooch over a bit. NO, in the opposite direction....there we are."

Oliveira lays on his front, parallel to the side of the fencing with the surveying King Bear and Hawkeye adjacent to his feet, a few metres away. His head lay on it's side, his cheek pressed against the cold and dampened concrete floor. Sweat moistens the ground around him from sweat, highlighted by pin-pools of blood that leak from nail wounds in his upper back. He torques his left arm out from under his body and lays the back of his hand just on his own shoulderblade as a piercing of pain rushes through his nerves. He groans a strained groan, air being sucked from him from the cool surface of the cement and the weight of his own body upon his lungs. His breath condenses on the polished concrete as he stares blankly along the floor through semi-glazed eyes. Matt flashes back to his career, something that held it's ground by quality rather than quantity. Every single time he stepped into the ring, blood was shed, things got broken -sometimes bones, sometimes glass, whatever it was. He closes his eyes momentarily to blot out the agonizing ache stemming from his back, and thinks back to a "happier" time. Back to May of 2006. Concrete and steel. Twenty-two men he shared that place with. Twenty-two men he was to overcome. He saw some things he never saw before, did some things he never did before...and he had his eyes opened. Opened to a real truth, a harsh truth. This was a game of death, and if you don't hold your own, you'll be cast aside to never fight again. It didn't mean retire. It meant paralysis. Disease. Fates of which a human being tends not to think about. The slow destruction of the body...or step into a ring and face a slower and manual destruction. Well...at least the Pit didn't REALLY have a ring.

"Look at this picture. A junkyard of performers. Bodies strewn from end to end. Remember, FOUR of these eight men must be able to advance to the next level. They've gotta climb! My god, how do you expect somebody as broken as, say, Strife or Thunder to climb a steel cell?"
Purest: "Simple, Jimmy. Testosterone, willpower, and a whole lot of crazy. Believe you me, we've got that stockpiled in the Abbadon's Pit tonight."

Krylon returns to a stand from the opposite end of the complex, noticing the destruction that lay around him. The demonic powerhouse roams over the odd debris that lay on the ground, taking a glimpse at the Original Coven that recoup near the mesh. His nerves twitch at him to dart forth and grasp the team, yet his strategical side hisses at him. As long as a partnership stands between him and the two grizzled veterans, he can get his golden ticket into the second stage. He freezes momentarily, then diverts his attention to the horizontal Alex Thunder who lay, covering his face from a pair of lacerations to his facial features -notably on his forehead and a second across his right cheekbone. Krylon folds his behemoth frame and wraps his sausage-sized fingers around the base of Thunder's neck and head. He begins to raise up the LoCash Cowboy like a human crane game until Phenomena comes darting from the far corner -SOMEHOW ABLE TO DODGE ALL THE ULTRAVIOLENCE- while he brandishes a Singapore cane stolen from the trash can of weapons Strife initially recieved as a Pit-Warming gift from the Hardcore Genius. He sneaks up behind the Dark Angel and raises the cane, whipping it across the back of Krylon who immediately straightens up and releases his hold of Alex. Phenomena glares at his own hands in a panic, just noticing he whapped one of the largest men in the match with an Asian stick. Quickly, he lob-tosses the cane to King Bear whom catches it in open paws in instinct. As Krylon begins to creak around, Phenomena hurls himself to the concrete in a lifeless manner -playing possum to rid himself of a possible satanic jaw-dehinging.

"...uh oh..."

The near-300 pounder turns around with a snarl on his face to see King Bear standing adjacent to him with the cane in his hands -the boss with wide eyes. The California big man watches as Krylon lurches towards him, shrugging slightly with an "oh well" as he quickly drops the cane and ties-up with him. Both men, either near south or near north of the three hundred pound mark brace the other's shoulders, thumbs pinching down on the ends of their clavacles, their backs arching for a better center of gravity. KB with the reknowned weight and brute strength advantage is able to send Krylon backstepping, until the Dark Angel lowers his stance and regains the moment of "unstoppable force vs. immovable object". With the Goodnight Suzie Sender now pushing downwards, Krylon tactically bends at the elbows and sends his opponent rushing towards him -enough time to drive a knee into Bear's vast breadbasket. The Coven alumni eases back on his grip as he's caught short of breath, and unfortunate for him, is caught around the throat by the Hatchet-wielding fiend. KB stresses his jaw as Krylon wraps his hand around his throat, being forced to replenish his oxygen via compressing trachea. The subdued reacts with a throatwrap of his own, copying his attacker and applying a front-naked choke as well. The two bohemoths stand off again as Hawk approaches a seated and grinning Phenomena, extending his arm to grab him blindly by the back of the head until the Genius throws his body into the Assassin, both men tumbling to the ground.

Meanwhile, AJ Scally finds himself now on his hands and knees, watching as droplets of crimson appear on the concrete floor below his head. He looks before him, the haze of arena lights shining through the chain link stores above the Pit tackling his eyes. He squints, a drop of blood trickling near his left eye as he peers up at the open trap door in the ceiling. Scally shakes his head to regain his bearings, somewhat taken aback by the procession of bloodshed bestowed upon him. He finds his way to the corner of the cage and links his fingers into the wiring, beginning to pull himself up by the intertwined steel. Slowly, groggily, he makes it to as stand by hand-over-hand lifting of his own frame. He pauses, taking a glimpse to the cell at knee-level for a proper foothold, and, finding an expanded section previously used for scaling, he begins his ascent. The aerialist strategically continues his climb, head moving feverishly from place to place, as frantic as a house fly's actions. A hand here, a foot there, stretch this way, swing that way. AJ makes it up half the cage to where a cross bar is positioned in the framework -serving as a study pinnacle for the time being. As a high-riskers old habit, he looks out below him, spying the men who share presence in the Pit for the evening. He smirks, almost having the nerve to raise a hand and flip everyone off until...there he is. With knees wobbling and bracing himself by the wall, Strife regains his composure from being pancaked onto the bed of nails. And I thought HE was the Impaler ah-ha-cha-cha-cha. The gears start turning in AJ's head...gears that maybe- maybe shouldn't turn at this time.

JP: "Go on, AJ, you've got it, kid!"
Purest: "Come on, Scally! Let's put the Cowboys into the playoffs of this one! Keep going!"

Meanwhile:
"...damn. Look at me. I could make it, I really could. SHIT! There's Strife. That sonofabitch, along with the rest of those haggard goons with legacies a mile long. They don't deserve another championship. Dammit, I DO. I've busted my ass to make it in their worlds. I know and the fans know that I'm pulling out all the stops. WELL, NOW'S THE TIME, AJ! TIME TO MAKE THAT IMPACT!"

Scally extends his left arm out as he shuffles along the crossbar slowly and incredibily carefully as to avoid a mean plummet of eight feet. Wouldn't be that nice to his heels. He strafes along the wall like a human fly, unbeknownst to the competitors below him. Nearly ten feet down, Phenomena goes on the Vlad attack, dropping forearms left and right on the King, leaving the Ironman of Impact to absorb clubbing after clubbing. He presses both palms into Phen's torso, shoving him back for an opening. Strife straightens up and starts swinging despite the managerie of punctures in his back. Oliveira soon joins the fray by reaching a rear naked choke around Vlad's attacker, trying to keep the KULT bond strong for the time being. This allows the GodKing to drive a few stiff jabs into Phenomena's solarplexis as his dark distraction in Matt takes control. Hawkeye, quick to follow the Ultraviolent Canuck, flanks Oliveira from behind with Chris Pyro's thumbtack bat, pulling it overhead and sending a THOCK of a hit onto Matt's crown. A silver lining of tacks embeds in the Amherstviewian's head as the pinpricks force him to retaliate by a quick wheel-around, thus releasing Strife's ambusher. Hawk and Oliveira once again grapple for control, bumping backs and hips with a struggling Strife-Phenomena pairing -starting to look like a Hardcore Prom Night.

Ray: "Look at AJ! What's he up to?"
Purest: "I'm not quite sure myself, but I'm still appreciative of the pun!"

AJ looks over the back of his shoulder as his is now dead-centered on the wall of the cage, halfway up, halfway across. He sidesteps mildly to correct his position, the crowd beginning to cheer for the underdog aerialist. Scally then performs the more difficult part of his plan, tucking in his shoulder and extending his opposite arm. This then pivots out his leg so that it regains support on the opposite side of his still leg, thus turning him to face the inside of the cell while still perched on the 4-inch crossbeam. The cheers catch the attention of the writhing four below him, finally opening their minds to find the middleweight glaring down at them. They freeze, a "what the shit?" moment serving just right for Scally as he frees his hands from the cage links and quickly compresses and extends his legs, sending him airbourne from the cell wall and into a backflip. In slow motion to AJ, his head serves as the tip to his body's arrow, gracefully completing a moonsault as he descends, landing on a mosh pit of Oliveira, Hawkeye, Strife, and Phenomena -all five men toppling to the ground as the crowd erupts with an "OHHHH!!!"

Purest: "Shooting Star Press of the cage! By god, AJ, that was awesome!"
JP: "That's how you make an impact!"
Ray: "After that, I'D like to make an impact on him!"

The troup of combatants lay strewn once more, a proud Scally laying face-up and bruised from the jump as blood trickles down the side of his face...yet accompanied by a proud grin. His teammate, Alex, is found inching his way over to the weapon trash can that has since then spilled, on his hands and knees as he peers inside, hungrily searching for an object to gain an all-out-assault advantage upon. AND! A crash is audible from the opposite end of the cage as Krylon's back is rushed into the steel mesh once more, King Bear with the lead as he heaves the Dark Angel into the fence again. Groans and growls sound from both mortals as they continue a bicep-aching struggle like 10-point bucks in late April. Krylon, now being compressed by KB's forearm over his throat and cage behind him, knees the Bear in his berries, turning the Grizzly momentarily into a Teddy as he groans from testicular whackification. Krylon raises his hand and slaps it around KB's throat once more with a clapping sound, a dry heave airing from the Covener as his larynx his struck. With a hand around his opponent's throat and a hand on his opponent's back, Krylon groans loudly as his muscles tighten and flex, just enough to pull the super heavyweight from his feet and drive him onto the concrete, overcoming the odd with a touch of rage and adrenaline by chokeslamming King Bear to the concrete. KB lands with a thud, arching his back from the 'bigger they are, harder they fall' rule as Krylon stands over him with both arms raised in the air in defiance.

[Krylon]

Ray White
Holy shit, that’s one heavyweight throat slamming another super heavyweight on concrete floor.

Jimmy Pete
Well the Dark Devil is standing tall after knocking out King Bear with an absolutely breath taking chokeslam. And the whole arena was shaking following the superheavyweight’s smash on the concrete floor.

Krylon looks around the Pit after brilliantly choke-slamming King Bear and knocking him out. Death Squad’s Krylon then walks towards AJ Scally who’s trying to get back to his feet and just upon reaching AJ, Krylon raises his left arm covered with a black glove in the air indicating that the Dark Devil is ready to deliver AJ with a chokeslam as well. The crowd pops hard with the indication considering how impressive Krylon has been up till now acknowledging his contribution and confidence level. The Blood hound from the dark side, sets the Australian up for the chokeslam, grabs him by his throat and neck, clutching his hands into the neck of the man from Newcastle. Krylon tries lifting him but the three hundred pounder strains his arm after applying too much pressure when choke-slamming King Bear and fails to capitalize on the situation. AJ Scally raises his right arm, and delivers a huge chop to Krylon at the back of his skull, the black devil moves a bit with the impact of the chop, but continues his grip clutching and choking Scally hard. The Australian 245 pounder continues with his big hand delivering the chops right onto the skull of the demon but Krylon keeps his grip tight on AJ’s throat. The demon of death starts losing his grip as the chops continue to damage his head more, but Krylon quickly kicks AJ Scally in the groin, Scally slightly crouches and the ace of Death Squad starts delivering his rights and lefts. Krylon constantly starts punching Scally, with both his fists going on a turbo rush towards Scally’s body and face. Krylon continues to move his arms through Scally’s body until the man from Newcastle grabs the demon by his head, and he delivers a huge headbutt to Krylon dazing the demon for a few seconds. AJ Scally then takes a side step and in a millisecond releases his right leg attempting to kick Krylon but the Dark Devil counters by grabbing Scally’s right foot, but to the technical quickness of Scally, AJ elevates himself and smashes his left leg right through the jaw of Krylon delivering a knock out perfectly timed Enziguiri finally breaking the dead lock between the two superstars, to a huge pop from the fans.

Ray White
Well, Scally’s back to life! Did you check that out!

Jimmy Pete
AJ Scally fighting from underneath his neck and finally getting back into the action. The Black Devil got his skull knocked out.

Vladimir Strife though on the other hand frustratingly gets up and finds Alex Thunder, knocks his lights out with a uppercut, lifts Alex up, pulls him closer to his own mouth, and says Don’t mess with Vlad, YOU HEAR ME!. Vlad clutches and grabs Thunder by his throat and lifts him up on one arm, Vlad puts one of his arms across Alex’s back and takes him towards the structure’s wall, indicating that he is ready to offload Alex onto the cage like walls, but just as he approaches the edge, Thunder gives him a eye poke and devastatingly starts delivering huge right and left fists to his face and body. Alex Thunder gives him a perfectly crafted uppercut, bringing in his front of the hand from underneath of Strife smashing his hand onto Vlad’s chin. Alex Thunder continues his uppercuts, and then kicks Vlad in the groin, Vladimir slightly crouches following the kick, Alex pulls back a bit, and comes forward sprinting towards Vlad opening up his arm and smashing it through Vlad’s neck and chest delivering a clothesline, but Vlad for some reason keeps his balance and stays on the ground standing, Thunder once again comes sprinting fast, jumps in mid air, opening up his body and arms smashing them into the neck and chest delivering a huge flying clothesline as the concrete floor experiences Vlad and Thunder kissing it down. Matthew also gets back up on his feet and looks at King Bear whose still out of senses lying down in the middle of the pit after the chokeslam by Krylon. Matthew looking to take advantage of the already out cold King bear, leans back and comes forward in a faster way opening up his legs and smashing them through King Bear’s huge neck delivering a huge leg drop inflicting more damage to the already unconscious giant. Vladimir and Alex Thunder continue to fight each other but Matthew then out of no where quick-foots and sprints towards the two, opens up his arms and smashes them across the necks of Vlad and Thunder, delivering a perfectly timed Running clothesline on both the superstars. Matthew then starts hitting his left and right fists on both Vlad and Thunder. Vlad in fact manages to shove Matthew away but Matthew comes back with another fist every time he moves. Matthew, Vlad and Thunder start battling out.

Jimmy Pete
Well this is getting very interesting, Vladimir Strife is trying to fight Alex Thunder from underneath his neck. And King Bear is being dealt with pretty harshly, but wasn’t that supposed to happen considering his size and how he had a huge chance of winning this one?

Ray White
Well one thing I’m surprised at is, I’ve never seen Vlad Strife trying to fight from underneath his neck in the past, and the Abbadon’s Pit has just proven to be a bit too high for Vlad. He takes one down, another one comes. Let’s see how these guys deal with the pit and who goes forward. I can say the same about King Bear, Matthew and most of the stars here.

Hawkeye grabs the hatchet Krylon brought, and turbo-rushes forward to attack Phenomena using that dangerous weapon, Hawkeye opens up his body raising the hatchet above and smashing down onto Phenomena but Phenomena manages to grab the weapon with great strength, powerfully shoves Hawkeye away with immense power and starts brawling with Hawkeye with a fist coming from each side. On the other side of the pit, The blood hound Krylon finally gets up, slowly pulls his hair out of his vision towards the back, and quickly sprints forward jumping, and grabbing AJ Scally by his neck with both of his arms towards the neck like a front-facelock and smashing Scally’s face down on the concrete with a huge running DDT. Krylon gives out an evil smile and heads forward, grabs Scally by his neck, but man from Australia, Newcastle cleverly pokes the left eye of Krylon as the crowd witness Scally and Krylon at it again. Following the eye poke, Scally quickly gets up, trying to take the advantage of the situation but the Dark Devil again seems to find some way to reverse, as the demon delivers a kick into Scally’s groin, Krylon after the kick leans backwards and comes rushing forward, but Newcastle’s AJ Scally out of nowhere shows his gifted technical abilities by grabbing Krylon by his spine, elevating him up in the air, rotating the demon and smashing him on the concrete floor delivering a huge spinebuster only to dent Krylon’s already in pain body. AJ Scally following the spinebuster, rolls on the floor while grabbing his knee which also struck the concrete floor during the slam.

Ray White
Well apparently, Scally and Krylon are beating the hell out of each other.

Jimmy Pete
There stamina and endurance is just exemplary for all the immature lads out there. Apparently, AJ has injured his knee while performing the spine buster.

King Bear finally gets up and shakes off his injury and bruises at last and rushes towards an unconscious Krylon. Bear then, viciously grabs Krylon by both his legs and slowly lifts him up setting him up Krylon’s own finisher, in a tombstone-piledriver position with Krylon’s neck towards the concrete and his legs right upon the neck of King Bear. The superheavyweight King Bear has Krylon in a tombstone like position, but here King Bear applies an inverted Bear hug and he uses all his power to apply pressure on Krylon’s back with all the power he has. Krylon screams in immense pain and agony but King Bear refuses to let go of him with the modified version of the bear-hug sucking and soaking Krylon’s blood inside his bod. King continues his pressure on Krylon but the dark devil Krylon refuses to give up and starts moving his legs viciously in an attempt to some way kick King Bear, but King Bear’s grip seems to be too good for the demon to break. King Bear then wastes some valuable time, just teasing with the crowd and moving Krylon around showing his laziness and this laziness leads to Krylon regaining some senses at last. King Bear points his thumbs down indicating that he is ready to use Krylon’s finisher on him,” the untouchable Tombstone piledriver”. But Bear seems to have wasted a lot of time because Bear just realizes that Krylon’s legs have triangled across his neck, and feels immense pain as the ace of Death Squad expertly locks him up for a reverse modified triangle choke (a move Krylon is known for pretty well since his TWF days). Krylon grips himself perfectly a bit upwards, trapping Bear’s huge neck in between his legs tightening the triangle grip The size of Bear’s neck gives a huge advantage to the three hundred pound Krylon. Krylon arguably sends all his body power to his legs, applying as much pressure as he can on the giant. King Bear moves around trying and searching for a way out trying to shake Krylon off but the dark Devil continues his modified triangle choke on Bear, while his neck is still towards the concrete.

Ray White
What a reverse Triangle Choke by Krylon. This Krylon guy just never fails to impress me, what a hold. King Bear is again out of ideas.

Jimmy Pete
Well, King Bear despite all his experience and age just got hit by young fresh blood, and the passion of the young Krylon can easily be observed here. And we’re still just half way through this match. Woah, there’s a long way to go. Bear’s experience might just turn out to be too good, who knows.


Situation:
Aj Scally injured his knee after the spinebuster on Krylon and is down right now with his knee.

Krylon has Kingbear locked in a reverse-triangle choke but Bear still has Krylon in the tombstone like position, so anything can happen here.

Vlad, Thunder and Matthew are having a mini triple threat match here beating the hell out of each other.

Hawkeye and Phenomena are also having a fist-kick battle on the corner of the pit, with both of them not giving up and coming back every time either of them moves.


TBC.
