Mixed Tag Team match

[Mighty Man Millson]

The familiar steel chair swish followed by the words 'The Hardcore Icon' in grey are shown on the ButcherTron and it is quickly followed up by 'Nightmare' by Jim Johnston.



The Boston Brawler, Adam Jones arrives on the stage wearing gray wrestling tights, gold wrestling boots and black elbow pads and he briskly walks down the ramp, pumped up for the biggest match of his very short career so far, the only match with title implications. AJ gets to the ring in double-quick time and slides underneath the bottom rope, as Lizzie begins to sound out his introduction.

And his opponent, first, from Boston, Massachussets, he weighs in at 225 ibs, he is 'The Hardcore Icon' Adam Jones.

Jones throws his hands in the air, garnering a huge reaction from the crowd, but as the pop finishes, he looks at the crowd in bemusement and claps his hands, keeping the crowd energy up, as he waits for his tag team partner, and opponents.

The music dies and Adam Jones stands patiently on his corner, waiting for his partner to come out. The PA system goes live soon, but not with the song that would have put AJ to beam like a pole star. God is a Man bursts out of the cheap speakers and the front row audience gets up, breaking out a chorus of cheers. The curtain slowly gets pushed aside and the Hardcore Prince, the former EVPW TV champion, Shawn Dreamer steps out to light, sporting a calm smile.

"Introducing the other half of the opposition - he's the former EVPW TV champion and the Hardcore Prince, from Jacksonville, Florida, SHAWNNNNNNN DREAMER!"

Checking out the crowd's reaction, Shawn decides to march forward and the crowd somewhat leans over the guard rails to pat on his back or to interact with him. But it turned out that the Hardcore Prince has played with the crowd; he steps back and waves his index thumb, stating that he's not going there alone. Shawn strafes to his left and the PA system bursts up with another song - this time the entrance theme of Azumi. Legend Falconry plays as the Asian Sensation walks from the back and aligns herself by Shawn, with the man who accompanies Azumi standing right behind. The duo starts to march down the ramp with the man slightly taller than Sakaguchi following, with his white hair dyed with blue streaks tied in a ponytail, white sleeveless wifebeater which reveals the scars on his arms, blue jeans and black cowboy boots with metal tip.

"And his partner, coming all the way from Hiroshima, Japan, the Jade Dragon, AZUMIIIII SAKAGUCHI!"

The duo gets inside the ring and locates themselves on their corner, chit chatting before the Wolf-girl of Nebraska arrives.

TBC Wolfie;

[Wolverina]

The crowd erupts into ginormous cheers upon seeing the video package displayed on the Butcher-tron and hearing the song, "Adrenaline" by Bush/Gavin Rossdale, crackle through the half-decent PA system.

Lizzie: "Introducing the final competitor. She stands 5'8" tall and weights in at 150 pounds. Hailing from Blair, Nebraska; she is the former EVPW TV champion; the former two-time Tag team champion, and is your Princess.... WOOOLLLVVEERRIINNAA!"

Wolfie bursts out from behind the curtain, bouncing up and down with an abundance of energy and resolve to win the night. She immediately darts down the ramp, going side to side so that she may tag as many hands and hug as many fans and she can. Once at ringside, she does a jog around the perimeter, slapping more fans' hands, until she finally has to stop. Turning toward a small girl at ringside, she takes her trademark sun shades from atop her head and places them on the kid's eyes, causing the little girl to jump up and down in a fit of joy. Tonight Wolfie keeps with tradition, wearing her usual American Gladiator Warrioress attire (with the AG replaced by EVPW, of course)

The People's Princess then rolls into the ring, toesses up her trademark crucifixtion pose, and walks up to her partner to talk strategy as her music comes to a halt.

JP: "This is certainly going to be an interesting match. We have four of the best, most exciting wrestlers in EVPW in the same ring. But moreso than that, whoever wins gets a TV title shot, which also means every one of them will be trying to help their team win but at the same time making sure they, personally, get the win. On a sidenote, I wonder how Wolfie's gonna hold up knowing that she and Amanda have a Stalker running around here?"
Ray: "And at least the wrestling gods were smiling on me tonight. I get to see three of the hottest men in the bizzness all at the same time. Well, two, Dreamer isn't so dreamy anymore. Oh, and to top it all off, Azumi is going to get a chance to redeem herself against that FLUKE of a win Wolverina got over her on Wednesday Night Genesis."

TBCB Whoever.

[Mighty Man Millson]

Both teams continue to chat to their team-mates, talking strategy, as the referee looks over to both teams, telling them to decide the starters for this match. On cue, the team of Shawn Dreamer and Azumi Sakaguchi disband from their huddle and the Jade Dragon steps onto the apron, allowing Shawn D to start the match, and forcing their opponents to stop their bickering, as AJ has to start the match, which is what he wanted. As Woverina stroppily gets out of the ring, the man in the zebra stripes signals to the timekeeper, who rings the bell to start the match. The two Hardcore Genius's step into the middle of the ring and the Weapon-Master extends a hand for Dreamer to shake, but the veteran of the two just looks at the hand and shakes his head. AJ shrugs and gets into a fighting pose, hands up, feet back, ready to push if they get into a collar and elbow tie-up. Dreamer responds the way Jones wanted and the two hardcore wrestlers put their hands on the shoulders of the other and start to push, aiming to force the other into the opposite vacant corner. Due to his slight height and weight advantage, the Hardcore Prince manages to shunt Jones into the vacant corner opposite himself, and holds him there until the referee gets to a count of 4, letting AJ go before he gets disqualified. As the Dreamer stands back, the Boston Brawler shakes his head in annoyance and gets back into the tie-up pose, challenging the Floridian to another push, which for the second time, Dreamer accepts. But this time, as the taller Dreamer starts to gain the advantage for a second time, the Hardcore Icon slips behind the Hardcore Prince and uses the momentum of Shawn to push him stomach-first into the turnbuckle, sending Dreamer recoiling back, holding his stomach. The Boston Brawler knows the impact would have the desired effect, and he quickly runs to the ropes, coming back with his right hand to his side, connecting squarely with the head of Shawn Dreamer, sending him down instantly, and getting a bit of a pop from the crowd at the same time.

A brilliant combo there from the new boy, Adam Jones. This man is impressing everyone week in, week out, and a Television title shot against James Walker or Mo Hawk will be great for his career.

And of course, we've already seen the Roadkiller destroy Adam before, so I'd sure as hell love to see it happen again.

AJ throws his hands up in the air as the crowd cheer for the EVPW faithful, and as Dreamer staggers to his feet, a little surprised by the quickness of Jones, the Hardcore Icon gives the Floridian a hard right jab, followed by another as Shawn staggers back to him, and then a final one, as the former EVPW Television champion falls back to the Weapon-Master again. As the veteran sways on his feet, the EVPW rookie turns around in a 360 degree circle and floors the Jacksonville native with another right hand, before jumping to the ropes nearest his corner, firing up the crowd as he does so. As the Hardcore Prince gets to his knees in complete shock, the Boston Brawler climbs the vacant turnbuckle and waits impatiently for the former Television champion to get to his feet. When Dreamer finally stands to his full height, AJ coils up, ready to spring off the top rope, only to be pushed off it by the mystery man that accompanies Azumi Sakaguchi. Dreamer has already dived to his corner to avoid the impact and he tags in the Jade Dragon, who springboards over the ropes and charges at the Hardcore Icon, planting a boot into his sternum. The man in the zebra stripes grabs Azumi and pushes her back to her corner, as Wolverina is forced into the match, smiling at the prospect of facing the Japanese Diva yet again. As Adam Jones rolls out of the ring, Azumi and Wolverina circle each other and the People's Princess tries to grab the legs of the Jade Dragon, going for a takedown, but as she leans forward, Sakaguchi jumps and rolls forward, grabbing the sides of Wolverina's legs, and landing on the floor in a sitout position, forcing the American Gladiator to fall on her back in a pinning predicament.

1...

The People's Princess quickly kicks out and bounds to her feet, only to see the Japanese Diva on her feet as well, and the two have a stare-off as they stand in the centre of the ring, Sakaguchi still annoyed at her loss last week to the Nebraska Native.

You can just feel the excitement and energy here in this match. All 4 competitors want that Television title shot, but only one can get it. Only at Equinox.

Well, 4 want it, but only one will get it, and that will be Azumi Sakaguchi. Wolverina won't fluke her way to a win again, and Dreamer and Jones can't even beat each other in a Triple Threat.

Be that as it may, they are both still impressive athletes. I wouldn't count out anybody in this match, and I wouldn't want to face them if I was champion.

[The Flying Assassin]

The Nebraskan Native and the Japanese Diva charge at each other and lock up in a collar and elbow tie up in the center of the ring, the Peoples Princess being the stronger of the two is easily able to overpower her smaller opponent and applies a side headlock that she grinds on as she tries to pop her opponents head like a grape. Azumi struggles to get free and after several minutes is able to get a hand on the back right shoulder, while bracing her legs and pushes with all her might sending the Nebraskan Native into the ropes. Wolverina hits the ropes turning her body so that her back hits the steel cables which bite through her outfit and cause her to winch a little bit as she comes running back across the ring. Azumi jumps up and wraps her small legs around the neck of her opponent and falls backward flipping Wolverina onto her back and having enough force to send her into the corner turnbuckle. The man with his hair in a pony tail jumps onto the ring apron and grabs the refs attention, which allows for Shawn Dreamer and Azumi to stomp a mud hole into the Peoples Princess sending a huge chorus of boos throughout the arena as AJ screams at the ref to turn around. The man jumps off the apron after the Hardcore Prince has stepped outside causing the ref to turn and see Azumi continuing to stomp on Wolverina.

The Jade Dragon stops, bends down and stands Wolverina to her feet in the corner, puts her in a side headlock and runs her face across the top rope, getting another chorus of boos from the crowd, as the ref is heard admonishing Azumi for the tactic. The Peoples Princess holds her face from the burn she received as she walks away only to be clipped behind her knee by the Jade Dragon who hits a chop block. The Japanese Diva grabs the Nebraskan's leg and applies an ankle lock which see's the Peoples Princess scream in pain, the hold doesn't stay on long as she is able to reach the rope. The Japanese Diva continues to twist the ankle lock as the ref after not having Azumi break the hold starts to count to five. At four she lets go of the hold and makes the tag to her partner the Hardcore Prince.

Jimmy:Well the love loss sure was shown there, I can not believe that Shawn got in on the beat down of Wolverina in the corner. I would expect something like that from the Jade Dragon, but Shawn.

Ray:Whatever, that was great teamwork, the goal is to weaken your opponent so that you can get a pin on them, I liked it.

The Hardcore Prince steps into the ring and waits as the Nebraskan Beauty gets to her feet and limps her way over to AJ where she makes the tag, allowing AJ to enter the ring. Both superstars come together in the center of the ring, AJ having words for the tactics of Shawn, but Shawn not listening slaps AJ across the face. AJ not wanting to back down hits Shawn with a closed fist to the jaw that rocks the Hardcore Prince slightly and is followed up by several more left and rights, that send him into the ring ropes. AJ grabs Shawn and sends him across the ring with an Irish whip, as AJ tries to leave, the man on the outside grabs his leg, which is enough to get his attention causing him to turn around and start to chatter with the man outside. This allows the Hardcore Prince to jump up into the air on the return and drive both knees into the back of his opponent sending him through the ropes and to the outside, where the man with the pony tail steps aside and puts his hands up showing to the ref he isn't doing anything. Shawn plays to the crowd which gets a negative reaction, the ref goes to try and start a ten count but Shawn gets the attention of the ref and causes the ref to stop his count. Shawn and the ref are seen talking with again the ref out of position to see the man on the outside, bend down pick up AJ and whip him into the security railing, knocking it back several inches. The Jade Dragon not wanting to be left out, runs across the apron and jumps off rolling forward hitting a rolling kick to AJ sending him crashing to the ground, which gets a cheer from the crowd but is then replaced by a chorus of boos.

Shawn looks to his corner which allows the ref to look to the outside and he only sees Azumi picking up AJ standing him to his feet before rolling him back into the ring, then proceeding to jump onto the ring apron and go to her corner. Shawn bends down picking up AJ standing him to his feet, this is quickly followed by the Hardcore Prince locking his arms around AJ's waist, before flipping him over by violently bridging his own body so that his opponent lands on his back. The Hardcore Prince gets to his feet and turns AJ over onto his belly,. The Hardcore Prince then sits on the back of his opponent, and places both arms of the opponent on his thighs. The Hardcore Prince then reaches around the opponent's head and applies a chinlock and then leans back and pulls the opponent's head and torso, causing AJ to scream in pain as he is no where close to his partner.

Jimmy:Shawn has a Camel Clutch locked in which is a good move to weaken the back since it was damaged from the uncalled for attack by Azumi's companion. I think the ref needs to throw the man out, he doesn't need to be out here.

Ray:I like that! It is smart on Shawn's part to go after a body part. How else you going to weaken your opponent and get the win? I do not see a problem with him being out here, I mean he isn't doing anything wrong.

Jimmy:Whatever Ray. You need to get those rose colored glasses off and realize that is cheating.

[Wolverina]

Viewing the perilous situation from afar, Wolverina begins clapping and slapping the top of the turnbuckle closest to her, rousing the fans into a huge uproar of support for the young rookie, Adam Jones. Apparently hearing this and feeding off of it, the rookie sensation grits his teeth as he puts his knees into position. A moment later he surges upward painfully, causing Shawn to lose the dominant posture somewhat. Instead of simply letting go and employing another strategy, Dreamer just shakes his head no frantically as he suddenly finds himself almost 'piggy back' riding Jones. The Weapon-Master drops backwards sandwiching his foe between him and the canvas, thus breaking the hold completely. Adam quickly rolls onto his stomach and elbow-crawls toward the sweet, southern-belle sound of Haven's voice, and dramatically holds his hand out before getting to her. Shawn grabs onto Jones' foot at the last second but the rookie lunges just enough to get the tag.

The crowd erupts as the People's Princess leaps atop the highest rope with the greatest of ease, and vaults off of it, totally bypassing the two prone forms beneath her. Shawn Dreamer is the least of Wolfie's worries as she lands gracefully in the center of the squared hell - her only worry now being her fellow femme fatale, Azumi Sackaguchi. The Hiroshima Hellion, having already seen the tag and trying to get into the ring as quickly as possible, only manages to upright herself in time to get bulldozed into the corner, crushed there violently by a sickening charging splash that would make Big Van Vader red with envy. To keep tradition with their incredibly fast paced battle on WNG, the Christian Cutie quickly grabs her foe by the head and places her into a bulldog lock, before running out of the corner and taking flight with her. The two land, Wolfie harmlessly on her sexy tooshie, Azumi brutally on her scowling face. The impact causes the ring to shake a small bit and sends Jadey into a minor wallowing around as her American counterpart briskly stands back up. Caught up in the moment, the Queen of Extreme unleashes her famous pose and she-wolf howl, all the while paying no mind to the extra opponent in the ring. While in mid howl, the Hardcore Prince charges headlong at her, jutting his right arm out and slightly bending it. The clothesline connects with 268 pounds of force behind it, uprooting the clueless cutie from the canvas and sending her body into a involuntary cartwheel-flip.

JP: "Good night, my heavens! Dreamer just almost severed her head with that monstrous lariat."
Ray: "How in the bluest of blue hells did her head stay affixed to her shoulders from that? Shawn must've held back a little. Which sucks, I mean it's not like she needs it - she's full of nothing but hot air up there anyway."
JP: "I hope she hears you bad mouthing her someday, and cleans your clock."
Ray: "Uh, no. Only Vlad or Despy will ever clean my 'clock'."

As Jimmy is rendered speechless by the juicy remark, inside the ring Dreamer makes his way to his corner, hands raised up as if to declare some sort of innocence. He steps onto the apron and rolls his eyes at the admonishing, lippy little referee. Meanwhile, inside the 18' by 18' epicenter of action, the playing field is now even. Both women rush to their feet, each one staggering a bit until they are face to face. Jealous Jade lashes out first, sending a searing, burning pain through Wolfie's jaw from a rapid fire series of punches that back her up. The Dixie Deluxe Diva replies in kind though, battling back by using her reach advantage to trade blow for blow. Switching up, the Japanese Hellcat Shoot Kicks the still tender leg of the People's Princess, almost buckling her to a knee. Another kick follows, this one to the ribs, then another to the breadbasket.

The last blow expels the oxygen from Wolverina's lungs, and almost sends her tumbling through the top two ropes. She hangs on, however, by grabbing the top one to steady herself. To Haven's dismay though, her tenacious Japanese adversary blazes a hot trail to the ropes away from them and rebounds back toward her, the speed being so astonishing that the Patriotic Princess simply can not react in time. Azumi takes wing once in desired range and angles her small frame horizontally. East crashes into West, but unlike 1945, East wins this time. Their bodies go up and over the ropes with a certain zeal about them, sending both to a painful plunge onto the almost barren floor, with the People's Princess visibly the worst off in the exchange.

JP: "Tremendous Cross-Body there by Azumi Sackaguchi. Man I tell you what, anytime those two ladies get in on, they go full throttle! It's fast paced in your face all the way, gotta love it!"
Ray: "If I was straight, I could totally go places with everything you just said, but I digress. These two need to get back in that ring and use that fast paced crap to tag in one of my men. THEN the real action will begin."

The mysterious pony tailed man saunters around to the spillage, obviously looking to do something underhanded in order to advance Azumi's cause. The ring official is keeping a good eye though, until Shawn Dreamer comes into play, drawing the attention away. As the referee deals with the Hardcore Prince inside the ring, the mysterious man slowly bends over to pick Wolverina up, only to be greeted with a warm jolt of hot pain crippling his visage. The small man is sent sprawling away from the Big Boot delivered by Adam Jones, and the crowd eats it up like candy, cheering for the rookie. AJ follows it up by pouring on a mud-hole stomping for the ages, playing the 'Knight in Shining Armor' part to perfection. From his corner, Shawn hits the padded buckle in frustration upon seeing Adam's actions, and quickly drops down, making haste toward him. The former TV Champion grabs him by the shoulder and spins him around to face him, and has a big right fist waiting for him. He sends it forth but the youngster blocks it and returns fire, sending the veteran back pedaling.

Before Dreamer can regain his bearings, the kid from Boston blows past him while grabbing his arm and pivoting on his feet, bringing Shawn unwillingly into an Irish Whip. The veteran leaves him and careens back first into the railing, pushing it back into some shins belonging to the fans. The fresh wave of pain encompassing his back has little time to fully register before a harsher pain explodes across his forehead, courtesy of a Flying Forearm Smash that came complimentary with the Whip. The impact almost tumbles the Hardcore Prince over the top of the rail, but he manages to stay put. Emboldened by his success over Dreamer, the rookie backs up yet again and charges at him, leaping into the air with a knee up.

Shawn side steps it and the Bostonian meets steel and bounces off, right into the waiting hands of the hurting and now pissed off Prince of Hardcore. Shawn kicks him in the gut then hastily places his head between his legs while under hooking both arms. With ease, the Floridian lifts him upward so that Adam hangs upside down for a fraction of a second, then he suddenly sits straight down, spiking the kid ruthlessly on the thin not-so-protecting black mats. Jones' body goes motionless save for a minor twitch here and there, while Shawn turns his attention back to the ring, where luckily Azumi had rolled Wolfie back in before the ten count. After the job well done from his "Heartcracker" move, Dreamer steps up to his corner once more and casts a vexed expression. There, across the ring, Sackaguchi is dragging poor Haven over to her own corner where Adam is supposed to be. Then, Jadey exits and stands in the corner, slapping the top pad as though she has taken Jones' place as Wolverina's partner. Of course, the crowd usher in supreme hate at the arrogant antics, even moreso when their Princess actually reaches up and unknowingly tags in her most vicious rival to date, receiving a instant Springboard Elbowdrop between the shoulder blades for her troubles.

TBCB whoever.

Dispositions:
Azumi: Legal Person, just landed a big Springboard Elbow Drop.

Wolverina: legal person, Getting her butt kicked; writhing in pain.

Adam Jones: Outside of the ring recovering from Shawn's finisher.

Shawn: In corner, not believing Azumi had the audacity to do such a mockery thing admist such an important match.

Mysterious Man: Flossing out Adam's boot remnants from his teeth.

[x | S.DREAMER | x]

The Asian Sensation gets up on her heels and looks over to her corner, spotting Shawn to stand there with a disgusted face. "What?!" screams Azumi at Shawn, getting the Hardcore Prince to stare coldly at his partner. Caring less 'bout what the male counterpart thinks, Azumi turns around her heels and faces the People's Princess, who is down on her elbows and knees and panting for air. Azumi watches the Princess crawl for a bit, but soon her arrogance came into action. She slaps on the back of the skull of Wolverina as she tries to make her way to the ropes, trying to get under the skin of her adversary. "Anata wa, mesu o kakutoku suru tsumorida to omoimasu ka?!" murmurs Azumi at the fighting Wolvie, getting the crowd to fire up with jeers, not that they get what Azumi says but they hate how the Asian superstar is having the upper hand over their golden child. Regardless the abuses and slaps from Azumi, Wolverina continues her journey toward the ropes and that's what gets the Hiroshima Highflier to lose it completely. She grabs the hairs of the Nebraskan and forces her to get up, putting her long hairs on the line as she pulls them. Even though Wolverina gets up being ushered by Azumi, a little resiliency is put up by the All-Christian Diva as she throws a weak fist to the solar plexus of the Jap-warrior. The counter is soon met with a soup-bone to the spine, and Azumi pulls Wolverina in a bent posture and gets her head to be between her legs. She then grabs the singlet of the People’s Princess and pulls her up, before wrapping her arms around the waist of her adversary. Amidst the crowd’s jeers, Azumi pulls up the Jaggeroth’s love interest, with a little struggle and then lets all the blood to gather in her skull. She falls flat on her ass next, crashing the skull of Wolvie down over the dusty canvas in the process, putting her into tremendous pain. Azumi then scopes the crowd while licking her lips, before turning her head to see the Hardcore Prince standing on the home corner with a plain face, waiting for his time to get a piece of the action.

“Who’s laughing now, Jimbo?! That girl has all the potential of being the EVPW TV champion after the rebirth and you know it well enough!”

“The match isn’t over, Ray! And you better not make such predications, you know. Everyone know how they backfire everytime!”

“Boo hoo, if you had ever said something sensible! Shawn and Azumi has been impressive all through and one of them will be the number one contender; mark my words!”

“Well, while my colleague is obsessed with Dreamer and Sakaguchi, I must say that I’m impressed with the young AJ. That kid has heart and he reminds me of the young Dreamer and his early days. Remember that young kid swinging chairs around?”

While the commentators continue to bicker with their prediction, the Jade Dragon rolls over to the fallen Wolverina and covers her. The People’s Princess’s legs get hooked by Azumi for leverage as the referee slides down and start to register the pin, crowning the Jade Dragon the new number one contender in the process.

“Azumi is about to win it! I told you so!”

ONE!!

“This isn’t right…”

“OH YEAH!”

TW—AWW!!

“WHAT THE--?!”

The pin is however broken in a different way; the Hardcore Prince is seen to bee line inside the ring and push Azumi off Wolverina, breaking the pin that might have gave his team the victory, kinda. The Japanese Sensation springs up to her heel soon after and gets on the face of Shawn, screaming at the Floridian’s face for his action. An argument breaks out in the center of the ring between the two partners and the white-clad man is also seen to get up on the apron. The official tries to barge in between the two and try to stop them, as the Nebraskan Cutie rolls out of the ring like a barrel, moving out of the harm’s way. While the members of the opposition team quarrels, AJ is seen to get up on his feet outside. He gets up, shakes his head to remove cobwebs and clear his vision before he gets a look of what’s going on inside the ring. Almost like a padded-legged cougar, AJ leaped up on the apron before shooting himself over the top rope by the aid of the metal cord. Azumi and Shawn couldn’t even move out of the way and gets stamped on the side of the skull by the boots of AJ. The double drop kick sends the Jade Dragon crash onto the white clad man and fall along with him over the top rope, while Shawn falls over the dusty canvas, clutching his head. The crowd erupts into cheers as the Weapon-Master springs up to his feet instantly, arms up high in triumph as the male counterpart of his opposition lies by his boots.

“What a comeback from AJ! This young kid is living his dream, Ray. I bet he has been eyeing this moment like a birdie’s eye and he has been pulling all he got out here.”

“He’s trying to pull out something out of his pants? I’d love to see that!” –smirks-

“Ray, ya should get over the bad habit of putting everything on the wrong light…”

“Come on Jim, can't you handle a little joke?!” –chuckles-

With both the divas out of the ring, Adam focuses on the veteran Hardcore Prince. The Weapon-Master from Boston walks over to Dreamer and pulls him to the center of the ring by the hold of his wrist. Positioning the Floridian on the center, AJ starts to pelt his boot all around his adversary’s system. Even though it might seem that AJ is stomping randomly onto Shawn, he has been targeting mostly the limbs of Dreamer, trying to get the Hardcore Prince to have a limping leg or an aching arm. Around eight gangster-like stomps satisfy the Hardcore Hero and he turns around, only to spot the People’s Princess trying to roll inside the ring. AJ slowly saunters up to his partner and aids her to heave up, before showing all his courtesy by asking if she was okay. The Hardcore Hero then mouths a few instructions to the All-Christian Diva and walks up to the home corner, getting out and standing on the apron soon after. The People’s Princess somehow limps up to her partner and tags him in, automatically making Shawn the legal man along with AJ. Getting the much-wanted tag, Adam darts inside the ring and charges up to Dreamer, nailing him with three stomps to the back, obtaining a groan of pain with each. He then bends over and starts to pull Dreamer up by the pull of his black hairs, all set to add more to the pain Shawn is already in. But then the Hardcore Prince shocks the world as he throws a balled fist to the abdomen of AJ, getting him to loosen his grip a bit. The Floridian Extremist follows up the punch with two more, getting the Massachusetts native to reel back a bit. Wasting no time, Dreamer throws a few more punch to the side of the head of his adversary, getting him to be a bit dazed. The Prince of Hardcore then grabs the head of Jones and springs up, before getting his knees to the face-level of his opponent. He then falls flat on his back and crashes over the canvas, pushing the knees onto the face of AJ in the process. The facial disfiguration leaves AJ to roll away from Dreamer and cry in pain, in pain of having his dream of dominance being shattered. Wolvie is seen to be watching all these with her face covered in horror, and outside, Azumi is seen to sit up over the barely padded concrete with the mystery man right by her.

“SHATTERED DREAM, JIMBO! Man, that move never gets old!”

“Well, we’ve seen Dreamer doing that move before, but we haven’t seen you to be THIS happy for Dreamer.”

“He’s doing a good work right there! He’s trying to get rid of a talentless act like AJ and cleansing the EVPW!”

-sarcastically- “Oh boy, O.C.D. can surely hang his boot up now; Dreamer is taking up his job!”

[The Flying Assassin]

The Hardcore Prince slowly makes his way towards the squirming body of his opponent and lays an arm across the chest, the ref being in perfect position slides down to the mat, placing his left hand under the shoulder as he slaps the mat once with his right hand, showing one with the finger as he raises the right arm high into the air, the right arm comes down slapping the mat for a second time and goes up into the air showing two, the arm comes down for a third time, but before it can slap the mat the Nebraskan Cutie is just able to break the pin attempt with a weak elbow to the small of the back. The fans in attendance cheer and holler over the fact that there Princess saved the day. All the competitors are laying either on the mat or on the outside, The Jade Dragon finally is able to get to her feet and see looks at the three superstars down in the ring, and slowly makes her way onto the ring apron, climbs the turnbuckles perching herself on the top rope. Wolfie is the first of the three superstars to get to her feet, as the ref attends to Shawn and AJ, she looks around, turns and faces the turnbuckle that Azumi is perched on, takes one step toward totally unaware that the Japanese Diva is up there. Azumi jumps off the turbuckles and wraps her legs around the neck of Queen of Extreme, and tries to fall back as if she was going to do a hurricanranna, to the amazement and delite of the of the fans, The move is blocked and instead see's the Nebraskan Native slam her opponent down hard to the mat with a power bomb.

Jimmy:This action is so intense, none of the superstars want to say die because of what is on the line but wow! Did you see the counter by The former Champion Wolverina? That was almost pardon the pun, straight to hell.

Ray:That was brutal looking but, Azumi can not let this glamazon beat her like that. As for the hunky men, I hope that Shawn is able to put away that good for nothing Adam Jones, though maybe if he had a bit more mean streak in him I could find him enjoyable.

The ref is seen now trying to get the Peoples Princess out of the ring so that this match can continue, as the mysterious man on the outside has already dragged Azumi out of the ring and to the outside. Shawn is seen getting to his feet as does AJ, both men are on there feet and lock up with each other as Wolfie finally gets out of the ring. The ref turns around to watch as AJ grabs his opponent, turns him upside-down, and drops into kneeling position, driving the opponent head-first into the mat. The Jade Dragon is standing in her corner holding onto the ring rope still trying to get the cobwebs out of her head half unaware that this match could be over. AJ lays across the body of his opponent but doesn't bother to hook the leg, thinking he has this match in hand, it is not to be though as the ref gets his attention and tells him that the Hardcore Prince has his leg touching the bottom rope, this infuriates Jones who gets off of his opponent and begins to stomp a proverbial mud hole into him, before bending down grabbing him by the back of his head and standing him to his feet, he grabs him and sends him towards his own corner, wither it was on purpose or ring awareness only AJ knows. Azumi makes the blind tag which the ref see's but is to late to tell AJ as he ends up eating a boot to the chops from the Hardcore Prince, that stumbles him back several steps, still unaware of the blind tag he gets caught to the kisser as the Japanese Diva's boots make contact to his face sending him down to the mat from having taken the missile drop kick.

Jimmy:AJ I think let his anger get the best of him as he threw Shawn into his teams corner and then eat a boot and a missile dropkick for the efforts. Wolverina has to come in now but Oh my God! Azumi is driving her size 5 boots into the gut of AJ!

Ray:She is turning into a real spitfire...I think I could really like her...its too bad she is a woman and not man.

The ref is seen yelling at Azumi to stop the attack and let AJ out of the ring, but Azumi doesn't acknowledge it, which is fine as the Peoples' Princess has entered the ring and charges across the ring toward the corner where everyone is at. The Hiroshima Sensation looks up and is too late get out of the way as The American Angel slashes her in the corner with a turnbuckle splash, this is followed up by the Nebraskan Cutie grabbing a hold of her opponent and dragging her towards the center of the ring as the ref works on finally getting AJ to the outside of the ring and laying on the ground. Wolfie locks up and sends the Hiroshima Goddess across the ring and into the far ring ropes, she ducks down in anticipation of a back body drop but that is not to come as instead she feels a size 5 boot tip hit her chest, causing her to cough slightly as he places her hands on her chest, she doesnt stay there long though as this is followed up by a palm strike that is almost heard throughout the arena, as it slaps the exposed skin just under the nape of the neck where the singlet doesn't cover the skin. The American Sensations is seen falling backwards and crashing to the mat. Anger ever evident on her face the Japanese Spitfire quickly grabs the right leg of her opponent as she bends down and places it around her neck, before standing up causing the Queen of Extreme to scream in pain as she finds herself in the stretch muffler.

Jimmy:That may not look like it hurts but don't let that move fool you, it is a very painful manaevure that can stretch a tendon beyond belief. You know if there was no love loss between these two I think they could make a great tag team, but I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Ray:ARe you kidding me?!? a Tag team? You want the tag team divison soiled by two women? Just because I could like Azumi and think Wolfie is trash does not mean I would like to see these two together as a tag team.

Azumi lets the leg go as it drops to the mat, she then proceeds to bend down and stand the American Cutie to her feet, turns her around and squats down putting her head between her legs and with effort squats to a standing position holding The Queen of Extreme on her shoulders, she reaches up grabbing her opponents arms by the wrists and crosses them, she then proceeds to lean forward as she pulls on the arms of the American Cutie, flipping her over as she falls to a sitting position driving the head of the American Hottie into the canvas with a variation of an electric chair driver. The fans gasp in shock and awe that there savior just had her head bounced off the canvas from the devastating looking move. The Japanese Spitfire lays across the body of the down American Warrioriess and waits for the ref to make the count, this doesn't happen as she is unaware that Shawn was talking with the ref, Shawn realizing what is going on gets the refs attention who runs across the ring and slides down as he slaps the mat, lifts his arm up and brings it down once as he shouts “One!” raises his arm up into the air holding it for a second and brings it down slapping the mat as he this time shouts “Two!” The arm goes up into the air, holding for a second before coming down to slap the mat but a split second before the hand hits Wolfie is just able to get her shoulder up which sends the arena erupting into a loud chorus of cheers.

Adam Jones looks on and is almost in a state of disbelief over how close this match came to being over
The Japanese Hellcat gets angry and slaps the mat in frustration that she didn't get the three count. She is seen begging and pleading her case with the ref that it was in fact three, but the ref isnt buying it and Shawn is seen snickering in the corner, but Azumi is totally unaware. She turns and see's her partner begging for the tag to come into the match and she grudgingly makes her way over to make the tag, but instead of tagging she thumbs him and tags herself and goes back over to where Wolfie is laying on the mat. This frustrates and iratates the Hardcore Prince who jumps into the ring and runs across the ring trying to chase down Azumi, this gets the refs attention which allows for the mysterious man to have pulled AJ off the apron, sending his face into it, then proceed to grab Wolfie and string her over the bottom rope and push down with all his might driving the steel cable into her throat as he berates her.

Mysterious Man:You thought it was going to be that easy, did you think that your victory over Azumi was for real? You know as well as I do that it was fluke win, and if there was a belt on the line you know that you would lose in a heartbeat. Do try and remember that she is the best female out there right now. You, you are almost on her level but have a long way to go. BITCH!!!

The Mysterious man continues to berate the Peoples Princess as Azumi sits across her shoulders with her feet dangling outside adding more pressure. Shawn and the ref continue to go at it, the ref not backing down as Shawn gets angry over the actions of Azumi. Adam Jones is seen laying on the ground outside of the ring and is appears to slowly be coming too.

Jimmy:Look at this blatent cheating, I can not believe that both Azumi and the Mysterious man are sinking to this low. Shawn needs to get back out of the ring and let the ref see this. There going to kill our Princess.

Ray:I like this! I actually like this! The sexy hunk of a man is showing his dominance over the trash that you and the fans call there Princess. This is good, Shawn you sexy man keep arguing with the ref, don't stop!

[Wolverina]

As the mysterious man continues to choke Haven, Azumi gets off of her and reaches around, placing her fingers into the eyes and corners of Wolverina's mouth, ripping and stretching away as the boos reach almost deafening levels. Adam finally regains his footing and takes in the unfair play by the Japanese duo, and rushes around to them. The man with the ponytail sees him coming in time to let go of his choke, but not in enough time to counteract the big lariat that upends him completely. Knowing her underhanded deeds have been quelled by the rookie, Jadey ceases her antics and grabs the Christian Cutie by the hair, then pulls up her to a stand and backs her to the center of the squared circle. The referee comes back into view, able to finally get Shawn dealt with for the time being. However, the sharp eyed, zebra striped man catches AJ jumping onto the apron with vengeance in his mind, and swiftly moves toward him with a fed up sense of urgency in his stride. As the ring adjutant starts to yell madly and point threateningly, Azumi pulls the American's head back and places it under her armpit. From here, the Hiroshima Hellion grabs a section of her foe's attire near the hip area and lifts up with tremendous exertion. Wolverina is brought upward all the way to the point that the soles of her feet are pointed straight up at the rafters. A split second later the Flying Assassin drops straight down with a sudden, blazing movement, driving the All American girl-next-door head first into the canvas. The People's Princess spikes limply and flutters onto the mat without a single motion from her body to indicate she's still in the game. The Asian Sensation quickly covers Wolverina and hooks both legs for good measure, then pulls all her body weight onto Haven's shoulders.

Ray: "She's got her, Jimmy Jam! Look at it! One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six ... REF!!!!!"
JP: "She may have her indeed, Ray. That was an absolutely vicious Modified Brainbuster but the referee is occupied with Adam Jones. He is clueless as to what's going on."

A few more seconds pass by, more than enough to have scored multiple falls on the former TV Champion, before AJ jumps off of the apron and notices the pinfall. The ref slides into position, slapping the mat two quick times before Azumi's body is pulled away, thus breaking the attempt all together. She stands up and appears to shocked that it was Shawn that prevented her victory, although the rules of the match have made it technically "every person for themselves". Jones, now inside the ring after sliding in a little too late to break the pin, lunges at Azumi from behind with his hands clasp together. He rears back and unleashes a mighty Double Axe handle smash that sends the Japanese Wonder careening into Dreamer's chest, which causes the Hardcore Prince to easily grab hold of her and toss her over the ropes to the outside. The fans get a real joy out of seeing the most hated person in the contest being dealt some hard luck.

The action only intensifies from there, each man firing shot after shot into one another despite the ref's best efforts to expel the illegal combatants from the squared hell. Utilizing his experience advantage, Shawn ducks two straight wildly thrown, overzealous haymakers from the rookie dynamo, and wraps his arms around Adam in a waistlock or a bodylock position and flips him over by violently bridging his own body so the youngster lands on his back. This can be done either overhead or to the side. Jones lies sprawled out along the mat, groaning in man and hold his back as the ring official finally reigns in Dreamer under the threats of a disqualification if he doesn't leave the ring immediately. Reluctantly, the Floridian exits and regresses to his corner, where he looks down at his feral partner whom is groggily standing up. The Prince of Hardcore surveys the overall landscape, noticing Haven still out, Adam in a vulnerable position for a good finishing off, and his own partner in a compromising position. He drops down and grabs Jade by the scruff of the neck and slams her face first into one of the steel trees that hold the ring together, then rolls her back into the battleground - making sure to strategically place her right at their corner. Shawn then leaps onto the apron and reaches in, tagging himself in.

Ray: "My oh my what a bad, bad boy Shawn has become in this match. I'm loving it! Now if only that pesky ref would just shut up and let that sexy Dreamer work his magic."
JP: "You hit the nail right on the head there, Rainbow Ray. I think I know exactly what Shawn Dreamer is doing; actually it's pretty obvious. And what a brilliant tactic it is."

The Prince of Hardcore goes right to work, bending down and raising the rookie up by the hair of the head. To his and the world's amazement though, the kid comes to life and pushes Shawn away from him, landing a few quick flurries thereafter. The veteran is forced into a startled retreat before suddenly executing a quick Drop Toe Hold and instantly transitioning as Jones lands on his front. With expert crispness, Shawn Dreamer traps Adam's right arm in a leg scissor and then wraps his hands around his young opponent's face, pulling the Hardcore Icon's head backwards. The Arm-trap Crossface coerces Jones into a debate within himself - should he tap or try to tough it out? The answer is simple with such a prestigious title shot on the line and he begins to flail madly with his free arm and both legs, trying earnestly to find refuge.

Adam doesn't get far before he realizes there may be no escape from the veteran's deadly trademark submission hold. Luckily for our brave young rookie, though, there is a Princess of the People, and she saves the day by recovering enough to slam the heel of her boot into the back of Shawn's head a few good times, knocking him off of her partner. The reward she gets is the ring official forcefully pushing her all the way into her corner and treating her with the same type of authority she did with the Hardcore Prince earlier. Shawn stands up rubbing his head and points at Haven, uttering something vulgar perhaps, before returning to his duties of whooping up on the "rook". The Floridian bends down and picks him up, then sends him toward the other ropes fastly. In the process, a rare mistake overcomes the veteran. He bends over far too soon and doesn't see his opponent leaping into the air and landing on the middle ring rope. The rope propels Adam backward and into the air, where he performs a nice backflip and lands right behind his antagonist. Shawn feels the vibrations under him and quickly stands up, falling right into Jones' snare. The Bostonian stands behind his aggressor and uses one arm to place him in a Half Nelson. The Icon of Hardcore then uses his free arm to pull Dreamer's arm (the same arm to which he is applying the half nelson) across Shawn's face. He then locks his hand to his wrist behind his foe's neck to make him submit or lose consciousness as the carotid artery is cut off.

JP: "Cobra Clutch! What a counter by the novice! Shawn telegraphed what he was going to do and the kid exploited it without ever even knowing it. What goes around, comes around, this is Karma."
Ray: "I can't believe my Shawny had such a brain dump. He had his eyes on the prize; had his mind in the future and lapsed. But that damn harlot, Haven, didn't help at all with her breaking up that Crossface Dreamer had locked in."
JP: "Horsefeathers! There was no indication Adam was going to succumb, but there's plenty of indication that Shawn is. Look at how fast he's fading!"

The mysterious man had been watching this all along, and with a sore neck comes to the aide of his fallen pupil, Jade. She's still in no condition to do much as she merely lies there near her corner in a almost lifeless heap. Alarmed, the man with the pony tail takes matters into his own hands. Jumping atop the apron and attempting to enter into the ring, he makes sure to sound off loud enough to get the ref's attention, which he does. The two instantly engage in a battle of yells with some stiff shoving coming from the zebra man. Wolverina, all alone in her distant corner, peers in at the goings-on. A plan unfolds, as underhanded as it may seem, it's something that has a high probability to work. She doesn't want to do it, but she quickly realizes it's now or never. She MUST do it for God, Country, and her People.

As Shawn's legs hastily fade and his body begins to drop, Haven climbs onto the top buckle and waits for the two to turn and face her. Almost as if on cue, they do exactly that, and she vaults off of the top with both legs firing forward like pistons. Her pedal extremities nail Dreamer in the pectorals with enough force to send Adam stumbling back and onto the mat, releasing the Hardcore Prince in the process. Dreamer, wanting nothing more to do with things and badly in need of recuperation time, rolls away and slips under the rope to the outside. Jones, on the other hand pops back up utterly confused as to why his darling partner had committed such an act. His answer comes at the end of her leg, the sole of her boot colliding into his chin with reckless abandon. Her "Goodness Gracious" superkick is followed up with an instant, genuinely remorseful expression and apology, before she spins around and claps her hand a single time loud enough for the ring official to hear it. Upon hearing what he believed to be a "legal tag", the man in charge finally power-shoves the mysterious man to the floor and turns around, just in time to see Haven dragging Azumi's battered body out from the corner and again mounting the top rope with incredible ease. The fans arise, cheering their heroine on with great fervor, wanting desperately to see her deliver the magnificent "Wish Upon A Shooting Star" maneuver and win the day.

Ray: "I knew that girl was evil, I knew it. I tried to tell you all. And look what she did! She screwed her own partner out of this match. What a sorry slut!"
JP: "Now you just hold on a damn minute. The girl did what she had to do. You saw her; she wasn't happy bout doing it but now, oh hell yeah here we go, she's about to WISH UPON A SHOOTING STAR!"

TBCB Whoever.
