CoolJ chuckles and goes to step on his other hand, but Phoenix swings his right arm up and pulls CoolJ’s leg out from under him, taking him down. Phoenix pulls himself back onto the stage and rolls past CoolJ. CoolJ gets up and turns around, but walks right into a superkick from Phoenix! CoolJ is knocked back, and he falls off the stage and crashes through the tables, and the crowd can’t believe it!
Phoenix stands overlooking the carnage he just caused, and he stumbles down the ramp and climbs off where the drop is much smaller. He walks over to the mess of splintered wood and drags CoolJ out of it, then grabs him by the hair and pulls him along back to the ring. Phoenix shoves CoolJ into the ring, then rolls in himself. He drags CoolJ to the center of the ring and sets up Rise No More, but before he can lifts CoolJ the champion reaches back and hits the Shader! Shader to Phoenix, and both men are down! The referee starts the ten count, and at eight CoolJ rolls over and lays his arm across Phoenix. The referee counts the fall, one, two, Phoenix gets the shoulder up! Phoenix just barely got the shoulder up there! CoolJ staggers up, then pulls Phoenix up and into the corner. CoolJ tears into Phoenix with knife edge chops, then goes to whip Phoenix across the ring, but Phoenix reverses it and CoolJ crashes into the turnbuckle. Phoenix charges for a spear, but CoolJ grabs the referee and pulls him in the way, and Phoenix accidentally spears the referee into the ringpost. Phoenix stands over the referee in dismay, and CoolJ grabs him from behind and lifts him for the Rise No More! Rise No More from CoolJ to Phoenix! CoolJ covers, but there is no referee to count the fall! There is no referee, and it is CoolJ’s own fault! A second referee runs down the ramp and slides into the ring, he counts, one, two, thr—NO! Phoenix AGAIN got the shoulder up! CoolJ is enraged and screams at the referee, who insists it was only a two count. CoolJ shoves the referee, and he spills over the top rope to ringside. CoolJ turns back to the challenger, and Phoenix has staggered to his feet. CoolJ delivers a punch and Phoenix reels, but comes back with a blow of his own. They exchange several blows as the original referee makes it back to his feet. Phoenix grabs CoolJ by the arm and whips him off the ropes, and CoolJ comes back and dives past Phoenix, then reaches up and school boys him, and CoolJ has a firm grip on the tights! CoolJ is using Phoenix’s tights for leverage, and the referee doesn’t see it! He counts the fall, one, two, three!
Winner: CoolJ via Pinfall to retain the Federation Title
The crowd is shocked, and the jeers flow as CoolJ is presented with his championship belt. Phoenix has his head buried in his hands, and as he takes them off a look of fury is on his face. He stands and turns around, and CoolJ bashes him in the face with the title, and Phoenix is busted open. CoolJ stands over him and holds the title high, talking trash. He rolls out of the ring and starts to walk up the ramp as the second referee pulls the original aside. CoolJ starts to get into it with a fan, and the referees walk over to the annouce table and turn around a monitor. CoolJ walks away from the fan and reaches the stage as the referees talk to the ring announcer, and the announcer picks up his mic.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he says, “the referees have informed me that due to cheating, this match will continue!”
CoolJ freezes on the stage, a step away from the curtain. He turns around slowly, a stunned look on his face. The look quickly turns to fury, and CoolJ storms back down the ramp, dragging the title behind him. CoolJ drops the title at the bottom of the ramp and slides into the ring, and gets right in the referee’s face, screaming at him. The referee explains to CoolJ that the pin is thrown out because CoolJ used Phoenix’s tights for leverage. CoolJ gives up and steps away from the referee, his head in his hands, and CoolJ is clearly exhausted. He shakes his head, then stands over Phoenix, who is bleeding badly and hasn’t moved. CoolJ pulls him up by his hair and goes to set up the Shader, but Phoenix quickly grabs him and reverses it into an inverted DDT, and both men are down! The referee starts the ten count, and at seven Phoenix rolls over and lays his arm across CoolJ, one, two, CoolJ gets the shoulder up!
CoolJ staggers up first, and he pulls Phoenix up and hooks his arms, and hits an underhook suplex. CoolJ stumbles to the corner and climbs the turnbuckle, then extends his arms, imitating Phoenix. He leaps into the air for Ashes to Ashes, Phoenix’s own manuever, but Phoenix rolls slightly, and CoolJ smashes into the mat, just barely missing Phoenix. CoolJ rolls away, holding his forehead. Phoenix staggers to his feet and goes over to CoolJ, but CoolJ takes him over in a fireman’s carry. CoolJ gets up and stomps on Phoenix, then gets on his knees and shouts at Phoenix. He flicks Phoenix off and stands up, then again grabs a lock of Phoenix’s hair and drags him to his feet. CoolJ goes for the Shader, but Phoenix blocks it, and lifts CoolJ into Rise No More! Rise No More to CoolJ, and the crowd explodes! Phoenix basically collapses on CoolJ, covering him as the referee counts, one, two, three!
Winner: Phoenix via Pinfall to become the Federation Champion
Phoenix rolls off of CoolJ and the referee helps him up, awarding him the Federation Title. Phoenix slumps to his knees in exhaustion, holding the title in his hands. He is still bleeding, but either it doesn’t faze him, or he is too tired to care. He slowly gets up and holds the title with both hands over his head, as flashbulbs go off throughout the arena.
