Johnny Dreamer vs Sycho Sam }{ Singapore Cane ...

[johnny Dreamer/Amanda Nathan]

The opening matches of tonights Genesis have left no signs of disappointment with the loyal follows of EVPW. The faithful watch on in awe as the matches come and go, heading to the star-studded main-event. Lizzy stands center of the squared circle preparing to do her job of introducing the competitors. Johnny Dreamer and his father stand behind the curtain and listen as she makes the announcement for the next match.

"Ladies and Gentlemen this contest is a Singapore Cane Match... It is scheduled for one fall... Introducing first being accompanied by his manager Alexander Dreamer Junior... From Calgary, Alberta, Canada... Standing six feet tall and weighing in tonight at 215 pounds... He is Johnny Dreamer!

"(You think you're better than me?)"

As Lizzy make his introduction Johnny jumps in place behind the curtain trying to get the debut jitters out. He has never been a hardcore style fighter and this is the last match he ever thought he would ever be in. He takes a final deep breath as his theme begins to play and allows the smugness in him to rise. Alex gives him a pat on the shoulder and the two walk out with Johnny leading the way, arrogantly pointing back and forth between himself and the fans while belittling them on his way to the destination in which he knows he is in for a fight.

"Am I the spinter in your life? CUT ME OUT!"

"The arrogance of this young kid is sickening. Did you know Ray that he has been calling The Prince Shawn Dreamer washed up and trying to trash talk Jerry Nate about Navaeh? I sure hope Sam teaches him a lesson in manners and respect tonight."

"Well Jimmy respect is earned not giving out, however, when you have the pedigree this kid has and the looks to match... I'm sorry partner, but he is a stud... Mmm, mmm, mmm."

"Yes, but it would be better if he has shown he is as good as he says he is. I for one see no proof in talking."

The twenty year-old Canadian stops at ringside as his father begins to make his way to the opposite side of it. Johnny as much as he fights showing is nervous and worried. A Singapore Cane in the hands of the wrong person can kill you and he knows it. He takes ahold of the bottom rope with both hands and pops a knee onto the apron, he forces a smirk as he turns toward the booing fans. He points at a young lady in the front row and jumps down before approaching her. He let his ego rise once more and asks her if she wants to touch his "magnificent" abs, the woman points to the man next to her and Dreamer shoots her a wink.

"Call me when you want a realman."

The insult causes the gentleman next to her to bolt out of his seat and the security personal to leap into action to keep a fight from breaking out. Dreamer cocky throws mock punches at his would be attacker behind the safety net of men between them as his manager watches on chuckling to himself. Once the angry fan is back in his seat, Dreamer slides into the ring and walks over to the corner closest to the couple and points at them.

"Hey! You're lucky those guys showed up or I would have done to you what I'm going to do to Sycho Sam in a minute. Watch! And enjoy."

Johnny jumps down from his perch and looks around the ring, still trying to rid himself of his hidden nervousness. Finally he looks up and toward the ramp apparently ready for his foe to show himself.

TBC: Sycho Sam

Good Luck

[Sycho Sam]

The crowd is eager for Dreamer's opponent to come out, having not taken kindly to this third generation star. Sam's own loyal fanbase (that seems to follow him everywhere he goes, sometimes the same faces can be seen in the audience) goes absolutely wild when his theme music - an instrumental version of Celtic Frost's Dethroned Emperor hits. His attire for tonight is a black 'Ice Cube' t-shirt along with khaki pants and doc martens boots that are tucked neatly inside his boots. The Sychotic One is in a good mood tonight, seeing as how this is one of his specialty matches.

"Making his way to the ring, weighing in at two hundred and thirty-nine pounds and currently residing in an undisclosed location... SYCHOOO SAAM!"

Sam high fives some of his fans as he walks towards the ring, clearly enjoying himself and looking forward to an interesting match. He slides into the ring, with a stare-down contest beginning as soon as he gets up to a vertical base.

The two competitors circle each other looking for an opening. Johnny sees the first one and ducks behind The Hardcore Headbanger and wraps his arms around his foes waist. By popping his hips Dreamer is able to lift the veteran into the air and drives him to the canvas face first before transitioning himself into a front face-lock, burying The King of Destruction's head into his arm pit. The crowd boos the attempt at amateur wrestling during this hardcore contest. They begin to chant in unison "We want Kendo! We want Kendo! We want Kendo!". The crowds vocals causes the upstart to take his mind off his foe and vocalize his own dislike of hardcore style matches. The man born in Pakistan sees and opening and takes it as Dreamer turns around to a big right hand to the jaw.


"Now that is what happens when your ego over rides your abilities. Sam isn't going to hold any punches against the new-comer if he really wants to impress the EVPW faithful as well as our roster he's going to have to shut up and put on a clinic here."

"Not the face! Sam is trying to disfigure Johnny now that isn't right."

"Maybe getting his jaw broken and having to be out for awhile we be enough to wake up the rookie. One can only hope."

The toughest SOB in EVPW stays on his opponent matching the earlier attempt at actual mat wrestling with his own brawling style by pressing the attack with precise boots to his sternum. Sam has a look of pure aggression on his face as he delivers each blow with a stiff impact. Alex jumps onto the apron to distract the official and the action has a reaction drawing both the zebra clad man as well as his charge's opponent to look over at him, stopping the assault for a moment. Johnny takes the opening his father created to return to his feet and landing a stiff shot of his own to the back of the head of The Psychotic One, effectively stunning him long enough for Dreamer to regain the advantage. Johnny ducks low, hooks onto the legs of his foe, and takes him back down to the mat. He quickly follows up by hooking Sam's head under his arm again and applying pressure onto his neck. The crowd again joins together for another chant "This is boring! This is boring! This is boring!" . One particularly loud mouth individual even adds his thoughts with "We want blood!".

"The EVPW fans not taking to kindly to Dreamer's attempts at keeping this as a straight wrestling contest. I can't say I blame them and sooner or later whether he likes it or not Johnny is going to have to adapt to the hardcore style of his opponent if not he will lose tonight. I don't know anyone who is better in this situation than Sam is."

"Hey you use what works and for Johnny the mat based arsenal seems to be working just fine. And hot damn does he look good using it."

Sam wraps his arms around the waist of the Canadian while they are still on the ground and rolls, pushing his foes shoulders to the canvas with a basic pin attempt and alleviates some of the pressure in his own neck. The stripe shirt moves into position and starts to count a pin.
1..
2..
Dreamer pops his shoulder up and rolls back into the submission, a confident smirk growing on his face.

The Psychotic One uses his veteran instincts and his size to his advantage and forces both himself and his opponent to their feet. The pressure on his neck still evident as he grits his teeth together while Johnny continues to grind in the hold. Sycho does not want to stay in this hold any longer and drives his elbow into the abdomen of his foe once. Dreamer grunts on contact, but maintains the hold, even though he is now closer to the ropes. Sam gives it a second attempt this time with his fist going into the targeted region, but again it only makes his adversary back up. The third attempt backs Johnny completely into the ropes and forces him to lose his grip. The Hardcore Headbanger releases a massive chop to his opponent's chest with a sharp smack. The fans send out a wave of approval as he follows with some more "WOO! WOO! WOO!". Dreamer's chest gets redder and redder with each shot, the final one actually splitting the skin open in spots. Sam does not back off from the attack though and delivers a stiff kick to Dreamer's gut, doubling him over. The Sycho One forces his for to a standing position and fires him into the opposite set of ropes. As the Canadian rebounds from the spring effect of the steel cables, the veteran ducks down to deliver his next bit of offense, but he goes for it too soon and Dreamer simply throws his leg upward and drives his foot into the eye of the Pakistani. The blow drops the veteran to his backside as he holds his now throbbing ocular. The rookie takes moment to catch his breath and catches a glimpse of a one of the many Singapore Canes around the arena for this match. Dreamer stares at it for a moment and shakes his head, showing that he does not want to use it at all. The official is checking on Sam's ability to continue when Dreamer decides to go back onto the attack. He shoves the zebra shirt out of his way before grabbing ahold of the hand blocking his now target. Sam attempts to throw a punch with his right hand, but Johnny grabs hold of it as well and follows with another boot to the eye.

"He's trying to blind the man! Come on ref get in there and back him off."

"Hey you said he needed to start impressing people... Well I think showing this aggression without using a weapon is enough to impress anyone."

"Ray there is a difference between trying to win aggressively and trying to end a man's career."

Johnny forces his foe to his feet and whips him into the corner closest to Alex, darting after him he drives the point of his elbow into the damaged eye once more. The ego and confidence rising in Dreamer he takes hold of the top rope and places his foot under the chin and begins to choke his foe out. The official waste no time getting involved as the crowd voice their disapproval. Dreamer breaks the choke almost willingly and backs up, but grabs the official and distracts him from Alex jumping onto the apron and choking The Psychotic One as well. The official gives another verbal warning to Dreamer as his unseen father jumps down. Johnny approaches his opponent with malice intent, but is a little over eager and receives the veteran's foot to his groin. The man from Calgary drops to his knees and the Sycho takes a momentary reprieve to hold his still pain filled eye, muttering something under his breath.

"Not again! I'll be right back Jimmy I need to go check on him and makes sure he doesn't need a massage in that area."

"I'm sure he'll be fine without you Ray, Sit down and watch. Turn about is fair play after and there are no disqualifications in this one."

The Hardcore Headbanger removes his hand from his eye and blinks a couple times. It is not sure whether he can see out of the eye that has been the receiver of most of Dreamer's attacks, but he soon locks his sights on the weapon allowed in this match. He gives it a once over before putting his eyes back on Johnny, who is still laying on the canvas moaning. The hardcore veteran walks over to the Singapore Cane and picks it up much to the delight of the EVPW faithful.

"OH NO!"

"Oh yes. Beat some respect into Sam! Beat some respect right into his skull!"

Johnny slowly raises to all fours as Sam approaches, unaware that his adversary was armed. The Psychotic One stands over his opponent and raises the cane over his head before driving down into the small of his opponents back. *SNAP* The Canadian arches his spine and lets out a shriek of agony as the wooden instrument makes contact. He drops back down to the canvas as The Hardcore Headbanger raises the instrument of his torture into the air. *SNAP, SNAP, SNAP* The next three blows are violent and quick, but the hardcore maniac is not done with his opponent yet. The Psychotic One sits on the small of the Canadian's back and positions the kendo stick under his chin, before yanking back into a submission hold. The official is right on point with checking if Johnny is wanting or willing to continue. Dreamer refuses, but it becomes obvious that a submission victory is not what the Pakistani has in mind. He releases the hold and throws the Canadian face first to the canvas. Sam takes a couple steps back and stalks his foe as he attempts to lift himself up. One verbal member of the faithful shouts out "Take his head off!".

Johnny slowly makes his way to his feet, holding his back as surges of pain course through it. The Hardcore Headbanger aims for a Dreamer's head as he finally makes it to his feet, but the Calgary native ducks and sweeps the legs of Sam out from under him. The weapon goes flying right into the hands of Dreamer. The Psychotic One is back on his feet as Dreamer takes hold of the cane and runs at him in attempt to steal the weapon back. Dreamer swings the cane with all his strength and slams it into the abdomen of The Heavy Metal Maniac. *SNAP* The blow doubles Sam over and Dreamer follows with a shot to his spine, causing the veteran to drop to his knees. Johnny follows with one more shot shot right in the sternum. *SNAP* After his foe is at least momentarily stunned, Dreamer looks at the weapon with disgust and tosses it out of the ring. The crowd again vocal about their dislike for the Canadian, chanting "You suck! You suck! You Suck!". Johnny forces Sam to a seated position and intertwines their legs before reaching over The Psychotic One's head and taking locking his left arm, turning him into one hairy pretzel.

"Ouch. That looks uncomfortable to say the least, but will it be enough to make the Sycho say he submits?"

"How did he know my favorite position? -Thinks about what he just said.- I mean wow what a hold..."

[Sycho Sam]

A satisfied smile etches its way across Alexander Dreamer Jr.’s face as he witnesses his son perfectly execute one of the most dangerous submission moves in professional wrestling. With the Pakistani brawler struggling to escape or move towards the nearest ropes, the future is indeed bleak for him. The crowd assaults Johnny Dreamer with a plethora of boos, not at all enjoying his old school wrestling style in a match that was supposed to keep the hardcore aspect of EVPW alive. The Dream Catcher is not at all discouraged by the fans and only pulls harder on Sam’s left arm, injecting Sam with a fresh batch of bodily pain. The boos fade out, quickly replaced by a rhythmic clapping chant in support of Sycho Sam, as the fans try to give Sam a new lease of life after noticing that their favorite Pakistani Hardcore wrestler seems to have completely given up on getting out of the submission move. Known worldwide for his endurance, The Hardcore Headbanger does indeed have an amazing pain threshold but the infamous Pretzel hold on him has taken him beyond the frayed ends of his sanity, and the “Let’s Go Sammy!” chant’s could not have come at a better time. With him not being able to move or force himself out of the hold and being constantly irritated by the referee being in such close proximity to him, Sam’s eyes move around, desperately looking for a way out. His eyes lock in at a kendo stick that appears to be just within arm’s reach, and with his right arm attempts to grab hold of it. Dreamer – thinking that Sam has raised his free arm just to bring it down on the mat in order to signal his submission – is not able to foresee what comes next. Spurred on by the fans, The Hardcore Headbanger barely manages to grab the Singapore cane, having to first slip it between his index and middle finger when reaching out to it. With the cane tightly gripped, the Pakistani native transfers all his energy into his right arm and swings the cane rather wildly – not caring so much about where it hits as long as it ends up in Johnny releasing the painful submission move. A loud “smack” sound is heard all over the arena as the fans swell up with joy upon seeing their beloved Sycho Sam make a comeback in this match. The Hardcore Headbanger had managed to guide the kendo stick towards his Canadian opponent’s bent over back and follows up the initial shot with one even more stinging than the last. Alex Dreamer Jr. cringes as the cane collides with his son’s back – with the third shot proving to be more than what the technical wizard could handle. The Hardcore Headbanger is finally set free as JD releases the hold and assumes a kneeling position - breathing heavily, trying to soak up every ounce of pain. Despite his limbs aching due to the prolonged exposure to the Pretzel, Sam – who is still holding the unbroken kendo stick in his hands – moves into a standing position swiftly, fuelled only by the thought of extracting his vengeance upon the third generation Canadian. With the King of Destruction towering over the kneeling Johnny and juggling the Singapore cane in both hands, it brings to mind a scene from medieval times where the King is about to put a mere peasant in his place with one swift motion of his broadsword. The fans in attendance appear to feel the same as their chants fill up the arena once more accompanied by the trademark rhythmic clapping. “Take his head off!” is what they are shouting at the top of his lungs and the veteran Pakistani brawler is eager to comply.

“Dreamer sure has ticked off Sycho Sam! And we all know how this hardcore legend lives by the rule of ‘an eye for an eye’!”

“Someone stop him! Johnny Dreamer is a young, handsome, fine young man with a great future ahead of him! If this bitter thirty year old wants to take out his midlife crisis problems on him, it could potentially destroy Dreamer’s career…. Or worse, his good looks!”

Sam’s kendo stick cuts through the air as he guides it towards Johnny Dreamer’s left cheek, giving the twenty year old debutant a cane shot several times worse than any slap he had ever received from a member of the opposite sex. Following the humiliating shot with a series of even more humiliating insults, Sam swings his cane once more – this time in a backhand motion – and lets it smack Dreamer’s other cheek. As his cheeks begin to embrace a red shade as a result of The Hardcore Headbanger’s wild yet deadly accurate swings, The Dream Catcher does not have even the least bit of mental awareness to realize that he is now on the receiving end of one of Sam’s trademark trash-talk routines. The Pakistani Brawler circles his Canadian opponent, swinging his cane that still is now close to breaking. “Listen kid, I don’t give two shits as to who the hell you are and what family you belong to. To me and the EVPW fans, the only ‘Dreamer’ that really matters is The Hardcore Prince!” blurts out The King of Destruction as he undergoes a second lap around his dazed opponent. “And I sure as hell don’t give a hoot about your in ring talents!” shouts out Sam, loud enough for it to be heard by a good portion of the arena, as he positions himself behind the still kneeling JD. Enhancing his already strong grip on the soon-to-break Singapore cane, Sam lets his hands rest behind his neck as he redirects his energy stream towards his fists one more time for one final swing of the cane. However, The Hardcore Headbanger was far too caught up in his executioner fantasies to notice Alexander Dreamer Jr. sneaking up behind him. He snatches the stick from the Pakistani brawler’s hands – the force with which he stole the cane being so strong, he almost broke the stick in half. With Sam’s plans plans thwarted and JD finally realizing what had just transpired, The Hardcore Headbanger turns around – absolutely flabbergasted – and is on the receiving end of a cane shot right across the forehead, courtesy of Johnny Dreamer’s father/manager. The much abused kendo stick snaps in half upon contact, but Sam refused to go down. This is absolutely no problem for the grizzled Canadian veteran, who still has the remaining half of the cane in his possession. Shouting at his son to get behind Sam, Alex Dreamer Jr. flips the cane – or at least what’s left of it – reversing the way it is being held. Grunting loudly as he does so, the older Dreamer stabs Sam between the eyes using the sharp end of the damaged cane. The Pakistani staggers backwards into the waiting arms of the younger Dreamer, who wastes no time in wrapping both arms around Sam’s waist before lifting him up and falling backwards while arching his back and legs so that The Ultraviolent Pakistani’s head and upper shoulder hit the mat first.

“German Suplex by Dreamer! Looks like he’s back in the game, thanks to some interference by his father!”

“And thank god he did! At this rate, Sam would probably have had a few staplers brought out from under the ring and who knows what damage he could have done to Dreamer’s pretty face!”

JD, who was about to pay for treading on The Psycho’s Path only a few moments ago now raises both arms in the air as he mocks the EVPW fans, reveling in their hateful jeers. His father meanwhile exits the squared circle, having done his job. Not wanting to engage in a war of words with the fans, Dreamer sets his eyes on his supine opponent. The technical wizard from Canada seizes one of Sam’s arms and proceeds to walk over him while continuing to hold the arm, forcing The Hardcore Headbanger to turn over onto his stomach. JD then proceeds to kneel down on the Sammy’s back, locking his opponent’s arm behind his knee in the process before reaching over and bending one leg and tucking it neatly under his armpit. With the same arm, JD takes this complicated move further by reaching around the ankle and through the opening formed by the legs, before locking his hands together as in a cloverleaf. With yet another deadly hold now locked in, the third generation Canadian star pulls on the legs, stretching Sam’s back and neck which are already sore from the pretzel he had locked in earlier.

“It appears that Johnny Dreamer has an interesting variant of the Cloverleaf locked in, and if things go his way, this could lead to a huge win here on his EVPW debut!”

“Yes! End this match quickly, ref! Sam, for God’s sake make it easy on everyone and just tap out! No one wants to see you attempt to destroy the lives of talented wrestlers!”
