Synergy #52 Results - October 24th, 2011

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Pyrotechnics explode, lights flash brightly, music plays and fans scream, it is, by all means the standard opening of any wrestling show.

Then we see Nicholas Vinegar, Hans Lieberjosch and Covert Jay sitting behind the announce table. They welcome us to the show, a few 'Huttah's' are thrown around, there is a brief run down of what can be expected to come on the show, and the obligatory bickering from the commentary team based on their respective heel/face bias.

Much is made of the Main Event of the night between Chris Peterson and Alex Kiseragi, and then some other events that have passed me by this week are discussed with vigour before the lights go out, Mitchell Dennis emerges from whatever pit he generally hides in between matches, and then he announces the start of the opening match which will be a six man tag.

Boy am I happy I warned you all I was only going to recap this, because believe me had I attempted to write something of the standard fare it would have sucked worse than a JK excuse for misreading.

For anyone that is unfamiliar with the way a wrestling show pans out, the following events are the entrances of the respective teams. Now I could, if I wanted, just cut and paste each entrance individually to bulk out this match, but that's just not the way I roll, instead you all get to bear witness to a constant stream of my consciousness.

Lucky you.

I'd like to think Freak Show Central entered the ring in perfect synchronisation whilst doing 'The Robot', because for self confessed 'freaks' I don't feel they do enough in the way of 'Zany', if you need some hints contact Jet, he has in the past been the king of that artform.

Then obviously Medos came and joined his partners for the match. Now during this the commentary team will have no doubt explained that there is actually subtext to this match, given both Medos and Fernandez were eliminated from the Battleground match by the hands of Rudo's Circle of Influence whilst he had a cup of tea if memory serves me. Vinegar thinks is abhorrent, Lieberjosch thinks it's justified and Covert jay thinks he's channelling the past life of a potato.

The Circle of Influence enter as a unit, as they make their way to the ring one can only wonder what someone on LSD would think if they tuned into UGWC on one of it's average nights? Seriously I've been real stoned and got freaked out by The Magic Roundabout, this shit could send someone over the edge.

Anyway, when all six men are in the ring, we get the obligatory pat down before the bell rings and the match gets underway.

As you can probably tell this won't be the most accurate description of what's going on in the ring, but Deimos starts it with Sir Roland, and the former World Champion dominates the early exchanges before a blind tag is made and Pierrot hits a lot of quick high flying moves before Medos is tagged in.

At this point I have to admit I got distracted from the match by a passing Moth, and it was a big bastard, size of a golf ball. Anyway I thought that Moth's were meant to be attracted to light. Unless there's something I haven't noticed about my current state, I do not illuminate anything. So why, WHY do these bowling ball sized winged beasts seem so determined to dive bomb me whilst I try to recap a match?

Anyway, to cut a long story short I have a dead moth just to the right of my keyboard now.

And in the match Sir Roland and Pierrot spend much of the match taking damage, but surviving, the skilled onslaught from the FSC and Medos, but at the opportune moment a blind tag is made and Prince Rudo swoops in and hits his finisher on Medos, gaining the win, at which point...

Freak Show Central help Medos to his and exit the ring as Rudo and Roland help their comrade to his feet after the pinfall. Suddenly, Ezekiel Pax and Marek Daisuke rush through the crowd and into the ring, both wield chairs. Ezekiel nails Rudo with the chair from behind as Marek nails Roland, knocking both me from the ring.

Vinegar: Once again, War & Peace get the better of Prince Rudo. 

Covert Jay: I thought they were the Vicious Kind? 

Lieberjosch: No, idiot. That’s the 2 of them collectively with JK. Just Marek and Zeke is War & Peace. 

Vinegar: Thanks for the history lesson. 

Ezekiel sets up his chair into the seated position as Marek lifts Pierrot to his feet. Ezekiel grabs the other chair and plasters Rudo’s jester directly in the kneecap. Marek backs up from Ezekiel and the two argue a bit. Ezekiel points at Pierrot and then points at the chair. Marek shakes his know and Ezekiel yells at him some more. Marek sighs and picks up Pierrot. Ezekiel and Marek hook Pierrot under the arms and flip him backward with the W.P. Deluxe, causing him to do a full backflip where his knees are driven into the chair. 

Vinegar: Ezekiel’s issues are with Prince Rudo, not Pierrot. This is uncalled for. 

Ezekiel holds the chair vertically on Pierrots knee and is about to drive it downward when Rudo and Roland slide back into the ring, driving away War & Peace. Roland tends to Pierrot, as Rudo looks up the ramp at Ezekiel who is slowly backing away. 

Lieberjosch: What is he doing? 

Covert Jay: I do believe that’s called a ‘golf clap’. 

Rudo stands right up against the ropes and sarcastically claps at Ezekiel. As Ezekiel reaches the ramp, he looks into the camera that has followed him and we just make out him say 'That was for you, Somers.' 

Vinegar: Things are definitely picking up between these two, folks.

Covert Jay: Next the inevitable return of the recap!

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Duncan Ryder Wins

That was going to be the extent of this recap, and then I received a contribution in my inbox, and feel it deserves a little more attention.

Duncan Ryder enters his first singles match and I can't help but think this deserves a lot more of an occasion than a feeble write up from myself, and I can only apologise for that. Anyway this could be the start of something interesting, it reminds me of the golden age of wrestling when an established tag team, with popular support from critics and fans, split and one star was pushed out ahead, it was always intriguing to see just what direction it would take and what success they would have. Worked [i[really[/i] well for Shawn Michaels and Edge, not so well for The Dudley's or Billy Gunn.

Come to think of it the worst example would be The Hardy Boys, but that can be said in almost any scenario.

I digress, Duncan Ryder's solo charge could go either way, can he maintain the kind of momentum the TVHS built up on his own, or will he get lost in the crowd? It will be exciting to see it unfold.

So yeah, I used this 'recap' as a way to give some feedback, and?

Anyway, when Duncan Ryder gets into the ring Dennis introduces The Natural Born killer who walks onto the stage and refuses to go any further, and as Duncan looks on inquisitively he begins to speak.

NBK: Duncan Ryder, last week you showed your lack of decency, you unveiled your disregard for human connection, and you revealed a thirst for Chaos.

This week, however, you will only be able to debut you're new, more metrosexual look. The Screams approve...they believe it brings out the fragility of your persona. As much as The Killer embraces each and every dance he undertakes...he is being distracted by the defence of the worthless. Whilst The Killer fights battles of insignificance...he is blind to the assault on his Lord. We cannot continue to waste our time with the trivial...we are better served...serving Our Prince.

It is not...that The Screams find nothing of interest in you Duncan...no far from it. Had we met you over a year ago, we would have turned with disgust at any suggestion that you could pose a challenge, or a worthwhile dance. But since then...Johnny Blake stretched you...he took you places your feeble mind could never go of it's own accord...he toughened your skin...added an extra dimension to your arsenal...and now...ow he is gone...

The Screams know...that you want to believe you are fine without him...you were the one who took him out of the equation after all...but even you aren't dense enough to not have some uncertainty...and that thread is enough to entice my passengers toward you...

But not now, no, we shall now only dance, if there is a chance we will be relived of our burden, and tonight that cannot happen. We are aware...you think yourself above the Chaos Title...but I implore you...two weeks from today...try and prove you are above it...start your journey from below...and show you can Reign in Chaos...

NBK looks towards Duncan, but before Ryder can even consider responding there is a blur behind The Killer and he collapses to the floor after taking a barbed wire baseball bat to the back of his head. A delicate hand reaches down and grabs the Chaos title and holds it up to her face...

Abigail Knight stands above NBK observing his title, she then grabs the microphone NBK had been using, and begins to speak.

Abigail: Nu Uh! If there's gonna be a party, The Devils Daughter wants in! Waddya say Dunc?

And Duncan Ryder just nonchalantly rolls out of the ring, raising his hands in victory and just shrugs his shoulders at the challenge because he would clearly like time to think it over and I don't feel right guessing what course of action he would take.

I guess it's better than:

Duncan Ryder Wins

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Vinegar: Welcome back Ladies and Gentlemen, we’re two matches down, and it’s now time to get on with our standard cooperative match.

Lieberjosch: I don’t know if it can hold a candle to that six person co-op we witnessed at the start of the programme, but this match does have the ability to be quite entertaining on paper. This is a match involving the returning members of TVK taking on the Aussie Revolutionaries, a team that has sworn some matter of vengeance against TVK.

Covert Jay: Any team with ninjas is instant epic win!

Vinegar: I have to worry about the state of the Revolutionaries, though. They were both caught just a few minutes ago arguing, maybe their days as a team are numbered?

Lieberjosch: We can only hope right now.

“(I’m) Stranded”

Dennis: The following Co-operative match is scheduled for ONE FALL! Introducing first, from Australia, representing the Revolutionaries, Ethan King and ENIGMA!

Vinegar: Ethan keeping his eye on Enigma who has already descended from the rafters into the ring. The tension is already palpable, and TVK is yet to enter.

Covert Jay: This is baaaaaad juju…..very bad juju…..

Lieberjosch: Oh shut up. The Vicious Kind is about to make their grand entrance.

“Confrontation”

Dennis: Introducing the opponents, from America and Japan respectively, representing the Vicious Kind, Ezekiel Pax, and MAREK DAISUKE!

Covert Jay: Jeez, Dennis’ intros are rather short for this match…

Vinegar: So are the entrances for Marek and Ezekiel, who both bum rush the ring. Ethan and Enigma with the wherewithal to slide out, and we have a stalemate. Ethan slides in; it looks like he’ll be starting this one off against Zeke.

DING!

Vinegar: Ethan and Ezekiel with a collar and tie lockup in the centre of the ring. Ethan gets the upper hand and shifts it into a waist lock. Zeke now with a reversal into a side headlock pushed off by Ethan, and is sent into the ropes. Zeke rebounds and comes right at Ethan, who meets him with a hard shoulder charge. Zeke right back up on his feet, and locks in a hammer lock, reversed into an arm bar which Zeke escapes.

Lieberjosch: A true display of great technical wrestling.

Covert Jay: BOOOOOOOOORING!

Lieberjosch: Philistine.

Vinegar: Ethan with a quick arm drag takes advantage of the situation. Quick lateral press, not even a one count from referee Sam Green before Zeke kicks out. Ethan pulling Zeke up to his feet and whips him into the corner. He goes charging after him….ZEKE MOVES!

CRACK!

Lieberjosch: And Ethan goes colliding with the ring post.

Covert Jay: Now that’s a dinger!

Vinegar: Ethan now nursing that left shoulder, which now becomes the focus of Ezekiel’s attack. He takes Ethan down with a deep arm drag, tearing at the left shoulder to drag him down. Now stomping that shoulder, he’s near Enigma who slaps Zeke upside the head when he gets too close. Zeke doesn’t take kindly to this, and starts to have a bit of an argument with Enigma, who grabs Zeke by the hair, and jumps off the apron, hot shotting him on the ropes!

Lieberjosch: Smart tactic by Enigma, who just bought his partner some more time. Ethan is up now, and makes the tag to Enigma. Enigma now violating article three again by the looks of things.

Vinegar: Enigma up to the top rope, Ethan grabs him, and throws him down onto Ezekiel, great teamwork there by Ethan and Enigma. Pin!

Green: ONE!

Covert Jay: The false idol with the save!

Lieberjosch: Marek keeping his team alive by breaking up the count, but now he has taken Enigma’s attention.

Vinegar: FIRELIGHTER! He just took the legs right out from under Marek!

Lieberjosch: And now Enigma’s the only one standing, apart from Ethan, of course.

Covert Jay: I spy a rising Ezekiel.

Vinegar: Enigma hasn’t even realised that his opponent is back up, and is subsequently taken down with an ensiguri! Ezekiel now taking care of Ethan as Marek finally gets back to his corner.

Covert Jay: The False Idol doesn’t look too pleased with the methods his partner is taking.

Lieberjosch: That’s what makes this match interesting, both teams are somewhat dysfunctional.

Vinegar: Ethan climbs back up onto the apron as Enigma and Ezekiel begin brawling. Zeke takes Enigma back down with a running clothesline, and quickly makes a diving tag to Marek, who cautiously enters the ring. Enigma is back up, and Marek sprints towards him at full pace, Enigma spies him and goes for a buzz saw kick…

Covert Jay: MATRIX DUCK!!!!!

Vinegar: Marek literally bending backwards to avoid the kick, and takes Enigma down with a neckbreaker. Springboard moonsault by Marek from that second rope and right into a pin.

Green: ONE!

TWO!

Lieberjosch: Stomp to the back by Ethan breaks the count, and here comes Ezekiel!

Covert Jay: MASSIVE ALL IN BRAWL!!!!

Vinegar: Ethan and Zeke are dukeing in out in the middle of the ring as Enigma slowly rises to be met with a few shots by Marek. Ethan with a huge body slam on Zeke as Marek and Enigma continue to trade blows. Look at Ethan here with Zeke; he’s put him back on his feet….BEARHUG!

Lieberjosch: My god, I don’t think I’ve ever seen him exert so much force.

Vinegar: Marek takes Enigma back down with a Huricanrana, lines up behind Ethan….

Covert Jay: SPRINGBOARD AERIAL EMPORER!!!!!!

Lieberjosch: My god, how did he pull that off???

Vinegar: Only barely I can assume, he almost took out Ezekiel. Enigma has gotten back up, unbeknownst to the others in this match, and has scaled that right hand turnbuckle…..MISSILE DROPKICK TO MAREK! What impact!

Lieberjosch: Hey…..just out of curiosity, who are the legal men in this?

Covert Jay: Clueless ninja is clueless.

Lieberjosch: You got one part right, at least.

Vinegar: Ethan getting back to his feet incredibly slowly, still feeling the effects of Marek Daisuke’s attack. Ethan calls over to Enigma, and points to Marek, what are they planning?

Lieberjosch: Probably how to end the match.

Vinegar: Ethan lifting up Marek onto his shoulders as Enigma scales the turnbuckle again…

Covert Jay: EXECUTING THE CYCLONE!!!!!!!

Lieberjosch: And now both going for the pin….no, stopping?

Vinegar: There’s some confusion as to who is legal, both men believe they are the legal competitor, and the discussion is quite heated to say the very least.

Lieberjosch: Scarlet darting out from the crowd, jumping up onto the apron, and distracting Enigma. She jumps off, and Enigma follows her before taking her down with an ensiguri! The man IS crazy! You don’t do that to a lady, much less one who isn’t competing…

Vinegar: Ethan is watching all of this unfold, perplexed. Ezekiel is back up on his feet, spins Ethan around…

Covert Jay: KICKING IT OLD SCHOOL!!!!!

Vinegar: Zeke with the cover, Enigma turns around and notices!

Green: ONE!

Lieberjosch: Diving through the ropes!

Green: TWO!!!

Vinegar: It won’t be enough!

Green: THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ring the bell!

DING! DING!

Dennis: Ladies and gentlemen, your winners, THE VICIOUS KIND!

Vinegar: Zeke and Marek quickly rolling out of harm’s way, the Revolutionaries almost had it, but a communication error as to who was the legal man let them down.

Lieberjosch: Enigma just looking at his partner as he slowly gets to his feet, he does not look happy.

Ethan gets to his feet, and holds the back of his neck, facing away from Enigma. Enigma pushes him in the back.

Enigma *Unmic’ed*: WHY THE FUCK DID YOU LET HAPPEN???

Ethan mouths a response, possibly an apology for what happened, or even an explanation. This doesn’t sit well with Enigma, who pushes Ethan again. Ethan, this time, gets a bit more heated in his words, almost going red in the face with anger. He pushes him back, and a brawl breaks out. Ethan pushes Enigma into a corner, and starts unloading with a barrage of lefts and rights, until Enigma places a kick to the midsection, and sends that injured shoulder right back into the ring post.

Vinegar: My god! We’re seeing a second team in as many weeks dissolving before our very eyes!

Lieberjosch: He’s got some black paint?

Enigma smears a handful of the black paint over half of his face, obviously representing the transition to the saint of Chaos. He sets up a table found under the ring, gets some lighter fluid, and a match.

Covert Jay: Uh oh spaghettios

Lieberjosch: I think we all know what’s coming next; he’s done this before…

Vinegar: Ethan is resting upright on the ropes as the tables goes up in one big fireball…Jimmy slides in…

Covert Jay: SCRIPTURES OF CHAOS!!!!

Jimmy raises his arms as the boos start flooding in. “St Jimmy” blares out of the speakers as he heads back up the ramp.

Vinegar: what we have witnessed, is definitely what happened the last time Enigma let Jimmy free, it is consuming his entire being.

Lieberjosch: I must admit I didn’t see this coming. Why did he turn on his own partner?

Covert Jay: More violence, next!

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Vinegar: We’re halfway through our show tonight, folks.

Covert Jay: Up next we have Steven Stone taking on..

Leiberjosch: Just let Mitchell do his job, Jay.

Dennis: Our next match is for one fall. Introducing first, he hails from Washington, DC. He is STEVEN STONE!!

‘Headstrong’ by Trapt begins to play as two spotlights aim to the top of the ramp as Steven Stone walks out. He looks around the arena, smiles before looking to the ring. The smile goes from his face as he reaches the ring. He rolls in before taking a deep breath to calm his nerves.

Dennis: And his opponent, hailing from Hartford, Connecticut, he is LORD DONOVAN HASTINGS!!

‘Ripper’ by Chinchilla begins to play as Hastings makes his way out onto the ramp. He opens his arms, looking into the sky, soaking in the reactions from the fans. He makes his way down the ramp with Calypso by his side. He slides into the ring and takes his cloak, handing it to her before standing in the corner.

Vinegar: Steven Stone looking nervous as ever as the bell rings.

Both men circle inside the ring and Stone charges in for a lock up.

Covert Jay: SUPERKICK! What a way to start of this one.

Hastings pokes Stone in the eye and backs up as The Prodigy stumbles around half-blind. As Stone steps closer to him, Hastings locks on a side headlock. Stone leans back into the ropes and pushes Hastings off. On the rebound, Stone goes for a clothesline, but the TWiSTeD Lord ducks.

Covert Jay: Another SUPERKICK!!

Yet again, Hastings pokes his opponent in the eye. He grabs Stone from behind and goes for a roll-up.

1.. 2..

Stone kicks out and Hastings brings him to his feet. The Lord grabs him for a suplex..

Vinegar: He could be going for Destiny’s Call!

As Hastings lifts Stone, he shifts his weight and knees Donovan in the top of the head, causing his opponent to let go. Stone lands on his feet, spins Hastings around and nails a swinging neckbreaker!

Covert Jay: He calls that the Stoner Spinner!

Leiberjosch: Why is he not going for a cover?

Covert Jay: Kind of seems like a move name Ezekiel would use, am I right?

Stone gets to his feet quickly and lifts up Hastings, who shoves him backward. As he rebounds off the ropes, the Lord hits a hip toss. Stone lands on his back but the force of the move causes him to sit upright and Donovan takes the opportunity to hit a Hennig-esque neckwhip. Hastings leans over the top rope and yells something at Calypso. She immediately begins searching around the ring for something. He turns back toward his opponent and goes to lift him up, only Stone grabs him and rolls him into a small package.

1.. 2..

Hastings kicks out with authority. Both men get back to their feet and Stone floats into a headlock takedown. Donovan fights out of, putting Stone into a headscissor. Stone fights out and rolls to his feet, into a face off with the Lord. They circle and go into a lock up. Donovan takes the advantage and irish whips Stone towards the corner. Stone reverses and charges toward the corner. He jumps into the air, attempting his signature splash. At the last second, Donovan jumps onto the 2nd turnbuckle and jumps at Stone, dropping him with a modified spinebuster.

Vinegar: What a counter by Hastings. Doesn’t look like he is done yet.

Donovan held onto Stone and quickly locked in a Texas Cloverleaf. The bigger man struggles to get out of the move and inches toward the ropes. Stone manages to reach the ropes and Hastings lets go of the move after a few seconds. Stone continues to grab the ropes and crawls out of the ring. He looks under the ring for a second and comes back out with his mask. Donovan scowls at Calypso and argues back for a second. When he turns around, Stone is back in the ring and he immediately nails the Prodigy Exemption, holding it for a pin.

1.. 2..

Donovan kicks out and is lifted to his feet by Stone. He goes for a vertical suplex but Donovan manages to kick his feet and comes back. Donovan then knees Stone in the gut and lifts him up for his own move.

Vinegar: DESTINY’S CALL!! Out of nowhere.

The Lord brings Stone directly onto his head. Donovan rolls into the pin.

1.. 2.. 3..

Dennis: Your winner, LORD DONOVAN HASTINGS!

Vinegar: Valiant effort by Steven Stone but Donovan proves why he is one of the best in the business.

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Vinegar: Another incredible night of action here on Synergy, and we continue on!

Lieberjosch: I'm always puzzled on nights like this when the card seems a bit shuffled.

Vinegar: What do you mean?

Lieberjosch: You've got Tyvola, the World Heavyweight Champion and basically a human automated money machine, in a singles match with the person he originally beat for that title months ago, and this isn't our main event? Instead, our main event features a rookie in a cage?

Covert Jay: Somehow I suspect that a cage match between a former student-mentor pair is somewhat more compelling than a match officiated by a penguin.

Lieberjosch: See, now I would have thought a person with a towel wrapped tightly around their head, as you have, would be more interested in the penguin.

Covert Jay: I am, but I will remind you this is a ninja mask.

"You Know My Name" plays as the stage explodes, and as the music softens Travis Pierce emerges from the curtain and makes his way to the ring.

Dennis: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, representing the Human Resources Department, he is the star of the Piercing Life, TRAVIS PIIIEERRRCCCCEEEEE!!!!!

Lieberjosch: Do we even know if Boss P is capable of being a referee?

Covert Jay: Why couldn't he?

Lieberjosch: How does he count? Does he have to flop onto his side and roll onto his flipper?

Covert Jay: It's all metatextual anyway.

Lieberjosch: Huh?

"Come Together" plays as the arena fills with a red glow, and Tyvola lumbers to the ring.

Dennis: And his opponent, he is the reigning World Heavyweight Champion, the Jackal of Jwar Isle, TYYVOOOOLLLLLAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Vinegar: Tyvola staring at Boss P his entire walk to the ring, difficult to see a scenario in which this match doesn't end badly for somebody.

Covert Jay: You could say that about most of our matches.

DING DING!!

Vinegar: Boss Penguin getting us underway, Pierce looking ready, staring across at Tyvola, Tyvola still staring at Boss P.

Lieberjosch: Boss P appearing a bit concerned, Tyvola approaching him.

Vinegar: Pierce charges!

Covert Jay: But Tyvola grabs Boss P and swings him like a club right into Pierce!

Lieberjosch: Perhaps Tyvola is confusing this week's match with last week's match, when he could do that.

Covert Jay: Why can't he do it this week?

Vinegar: I'm fairly certain using the referee as a weapon is illegal.

Lieberjosch: I don't think legality has ever been very high on Tyvola's list of concerns.

Vinegar: Pierce stumbling back, Tyvola now using Boss P as a javelin, hurling him at Pierce.

Covert Jay: But Pierce sidesteps it, Boss P launched right through the ropes to ringside!

Vinegar: And now Pierce goes right after Tyvola, using a headscissor takedown to ground him.

Lieberjosch: Pierce with a knee drop, now hitting mounted punches, he's going to have to keep the giant on the ground if he wants a chance here.

Vinegar: Tyvola manages to shove him off, but Pierce rolls right to his feet, springboards off the ropes with a knee strike to the head, and now a cover!

Lieberjosch: The referee is still on the outside!

Covert Jay: Hold on, Boss P has managed to hop up the ring steps, back into the ring now.

Lieberjosch: But Tyvola has shoved Pierce off again!

Vinegar: Pierce to his feet, hits the ropes.

Lieberjosch: But Tyvola floors him with a big boot!

Vinegar: And Tyvola grabs Boss P again, throws him into the air!

Covert Jay: Boss P splashes onto Pierce!

Vinegar: Tyvola sitting Pierce up now, what's he thinking here?

Lieberjosch: Oh, this isn't good.

Vinegar: SWEET SLOPPY SECONDS!!!!

Lieberjosch: Tyvola is using the body of Boss Penguin to choke Pierce!

Vinegar: And Boss P is calling for the bell!

Covert Jay: You think that's a disqualification?

Vinegar: How could it not be?

Lieberjosch: Sounds like Boss P is saying something about a submission.

Covert Jay: Can the referee submit?

Dennis: Here is your winner, as a result of a submission...TYYVOOOOLLLLLLAAAA!!!!

Vinegar: Boss P is saying that Travis Pierce gave up!

Lieberjosch: I must have missed that.

Covert Jay: Probably because it didn't happen.

Vinegar: Boss P, just trying to get away from Tyvola, ending the match the first chance he got!

Covert Jay: SOMERS!!!!

Vinegar: Jet Somers just rolled out from underneath the ring, he's got a can of paint!

Lieberjosch: And he cracks Tyvola in the back of the skull with it!

Covert Jay: And now Crazy Opie spilling that black paint all over Boss Penguin!

Lieberjosch: Boss P is now Boss Painted!!

Vinegar: Somers to the outside, he's got the ring bell!

Lieberjosch: Pierce pulling Tyvola back up, Tyvola shoves him away!

Covert Jay: But Jet blasts him with the ring bell!

Vinegar: Pierce lifts himself up onto a turnbuckle!

Covert Jay: The Piercing Blow!

Lieberjosch: Travis Pierce and Jet Somers, standing together over Tyvola!

Vinegar: And could this be a statement from Jet Somers, will he be using his Horizons match to face the World Heavyweight Champion?

Covert Jay: Don't go anywhere, we've got more, here on Synergy!

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Vinegar: Now it's time for our main event of the night as former mentor faces former student in the confines of a steel cage. There's plenty of bad blood here and I suspect at least some of it will be staining the mat before we leave tonight.

Back In Black starts to play and Chris Peterson walks out onto the stage to a chorus of booing. He draws the sword on his back and raises it into the air. Pyros go off replicating lightning striking the blade and he slashes it downward.

Dennis: The following contest is a Steel Cage match. The winner will be the first man to successfully escape the cage. Introducing first, from New York City, New York! Weighing in a 230lbs! He is one half of the UGWC Cooperative Champions! The Black Knight! Chris Petersooooooon!!!

Vinegar: Chris was Alex's student at the Dragon's Cave Academy since the beginning of the year but turned on his former mentor in explosive fashion three weeks ago at Battleground.

Lieberjosch: It's not surprising really. Anyone could see Chris floundered under Kiseragi's leadership while he flourished exponentially under Lord Hastings. Chris made the only smart decision.

Chris sheaths the sword again and strides down to the ring. He walks around to the door that Glenn Burke is holding open and climbs in through the ropes.

Teahouse starts to play and Alex walks out to the top of the ramp where he throws two right roundhouse kicks, each accompanied by a small pyro, followed by a split legged backflip with a larger pyro.

Dennis: And his opponent! From San Francisco, California! Weighing in at 225lbs! He is the 2011 UGWC Lord of the Ring! The Dragon! Alex Kiseragiiiii!!!

Jay: DRAGOOON!!!

Lieberjosch: Doesn't that get old.

Jay: Never.

He walks down to the ring, slapping a few outstretched hands as he passes. He walks around to the door and quickly climbs up and into the ring. He climbs up the turnbuckle and poses before backflipping off. As he lands he bumps into Chris who has encroached on him. Alex turns and the two stare down.

Vinegar: This one looks like it's ready to erupt.

Ding! Ding!

Vinegar: Alex shoves Chris back and these two immediately lock up. Chris has the slight size advantage in this one but Alex has been doing this much longer.

Lieberjosch: Chris is the one on a roll of late though.

Vinegar: Alex takes the early advantage though locking in an arm wringer. Chris able to roll over and kip back to his feet and lock in one of his own.

Lieberjosch: That's the Lord Hastings school of technical wrestling training paying off.

Vinegar: Alex is not without his own technical skills.

Jay: And ninja skills! He just ran up the ropes, ran up the side of the cage and front flipped out of the hold!

Vinegar: Delivers a stiff punch to Chris's abdomen, locks that right arm up and kicks his feet out from under him, landing in an armbar.

Lieberjosch: Pssh, show off.

Vinegar: Chris able to twist out of it though and comes back up with a northern lights suplex. He takes Alex down but both men are quickly to their feet. The crowd showing their appreciation for that exchange.

Lieberjosch: That Christopher certainly got the best of. First blood to the student.

Vinegar: It's early days yet. They lock up again and this time it's Chris who takes the advantage securing a rear waist lock. Looks for a suplex but Alex floats out and lands behind him, securing a waist lock of his own. Chris pulls him to the ropes and shakes him off on the rebound.

Jay: The Dragon rolls back to his feet though and as Chris attacks him takes him down with a ninja hip throw.

Vinegar: Which goes straight into a neck tie hold on the ground.

Lieberjosch: Chris twists and rolls to get his legs under him.

Vinegar: But doesn't get free. He's pushing back up to his feet though. He spins and hoists Alex into a back suplex.

Lieberjosch: But just smashes the back of his head into the cage. That's Lord Hastings’s Brutality 101.

Vinegar: Alex slumps down and bounces off the ropes. Chris pulls him up to his feet and bundles him into the corner. Opens up with some knife edge chops across the chest.

Lieberjosch: I can hear them! So crisp and clean.

Vinegar: Then brings him out and tosses him face first into the cage.

Lieberjosch: I'd like to think Chris is my student also. He's displaying a clear knowledge of Article 31: Utilising your environment to your advantage.

Jay: Do you actually know the numbers to all your articles or do you just pick one at random every time you want to reference something?

Lieberjosch: You tell me.

Vinegar: Chris following up with some stomps before pulling Alex back up to his feet again. Irish whip from the ropes and throws him back into the cage on the rebound.

Lieberjosch: Thats what I'm talking about.

Vinegar: Alex falls back and Chris takes him over with a belly to back suplex.

Lieberjosch: And now he's headed for the door. Going to escape early here.

Vinegar: That may be a bit presumptive. Alex fights to his feet and grabs Chris before he can get to the ropes. He spins him around and thrust kicks him into the corner. The Dragon quickly scaling to the second rope and raining down punches.

Crowd + Jay: 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10!

Jay: Ah who doesn't love that one?

Vinegar: Peterson looks dazes as Alex climbs down and the Dragon takes him over with an enziguri. Kiseragi takes the look at the door and asks for it to be closed.

Lieberjosch: When he had a half a chance to escape. Poor decision making there.

Vinegar: This has gotten personal. He's not walking out of this one until he's done a lot more damage. He's pulled Chris to his feet and landed a pair of roundhouse kicks to the chest, topped off with a spinning wheel kick to put him back on the ground.

Lieberjosch: You can't keep Christopher down though. He's already fighting back to his feet.

Jay: The Dragon is faster though.

Vinegar: Alex swiftly back up and throws another hard kick to Peterson's back that sends him into the cage.

Lieberjosch: Not with much impact though.

Jay: That one did though!

Vinegar: Alex Kiseragi just ran off the ropes and came back with a running superkick type move that crushed The Black Knight's head between foot and steel. Chris Peterson slumps to the floor.

Lieberjosch: You see this is another place where Alex should try to make his escape but in failing to do so he is letting emotion take over and putting his chances of winning this match at risk.

Vinegar: I'm not sure this was ever about simply winning a match. When you challenge someone to face you in a steel cage it means something else entirely.

Lieberjosch: Well whatever victory he feels he'll gain from senselessly beating on Christopher Peterson will surely be soured when the Black Knight walks away victorious.

Jay: The betrayer shall not succeed!

Vinegar: Well while you've been talking Alex pinned Chris down under his knee and unleashed a barrage of closed fist shots to his face.

Lieberjosch: And Burke's done nothing about them. I call shenanigans!

Vinegar: There's no rules here. Everything’s legal. Alex drags him back to his feet and Chris pokes him in the eye.

Lieberjosch: Superkick! Another move from the Lord Hastings School of Professional Wrestling.

Jay: That came under the module of Fighting Like A Bitch 101.

Vinegar: It's given Chris an opening though and before Alex can recover he puts him down with a scoop body slam. Then runs the ropes and comes back with a leg drop across the throat. He's got a handful of Alex's hair.

Jay: Also from Fighting Like A Bitch 101.

Vinegar: And drags him to the bottom rope. He's lain the Dragon's neck over the rope and is applying the choke with his boot.

Lieberjosch: Don't cry about it. You just said everything’s legal.

Vinegar: I didn't say a word. Chris releases the hold and runs the ropes. He comes back with stomps the back of Alex's head, shoving his face into the cage.

Lieberjosch: Your precious Dragon's not the only one who can crushed heads between foot and cage.

Jay: Though he does it in a much more impressive fashion.

Lieberjosch: Now he's going to escape. Christopher scaling the cage.

Vinegar: He's made a rookie mistake there though, climbing directly next to his opponent. It makes it easy for Alex to get up and drag him back down to Earth. He spins Chris round- DDT! The Dragon plants him with a DDT!

Lieberjosch: I believe it's a sign of poor execution when your opponent takes so little time to recover.

Vinegar: I'd hardly call it recovery. Chris has crawled on all four to the corner and is trying to pull himself up while Alex has positioned himself at the opposite turnbuckle.

Jay: He's going to thrust the spear!

Lieberjosch: What?

Vinegar: Chris is up.

Jay: Yariiiii Kiiiiiiick!

Lieberjosch: Ha! Christopher dodges it!

Jay: Ninja skills!

Vinegar: But The Dragon adjusts in the air, kicks off the top turnbuckle and grabs hold of the cage. Missile dropkick to Peterson and Kiseragi kips straight back up his feet, Chris getting up a little slower. Alex gets hold of him, Irish whip across the ring.

Lieberjosch: But he gets overpowered there. Beautiful counter by the Black Knight.

Vinegar: It looked like Alex was going to toss Chris up for the Alarm Clock but Peterson was able to plant himself, overhook those arms and take Alex over with a tiger suplex.

Lieberjosch: You don't see those everyday.

Vinegar: Chris pulling Alex up this time. X-Plex hits!

Lieberjosch: Please. The X-Plex is a relic of a bygone age for the Black Knight. That was simply a perfectly executed Wrist Clutch Exploder.

Vinegar: Either way the momentum has definately swung back in favour of the student. Chris bringing Alex to his feet again. Irish whip from him now, Alex rebounds, Chris shoots behind. He's got Alex's head. Reverse suplex- spins out-

Lieberjosch: The Flesh Wound!

Jay: No, The Dragon uses Ninja power to defy gravity and floats out onto his feet.

Vinegar: He spins Chris around, boot to the gut-

Jay: DRAGOOON TAIL!

Lieberjosch: Christopher dodges it! Alex is laid down prone. Leg Biter! He's got the Leg Biter!

Jay: There's no submissions though.

Lieberjosch: You haven't read Article 31: A Treatise On The Tactical Application Of Immobilising An Opponent. It has several good paragraphs on the application of submission holds to the lower body during a escape scenarios.

Vinegar: To paraphrase. They can't escape if they can't walk.

Lieberjosch: Article 31 puts it much more elegantly.

Jay: You said earlier Article 31 was about using your environment

Lieberjosch: That was 41.

Jay: You said 31.

Lieberjosch: I did not!

Jay: We can check the tape.

Lieberjosch: Just...pay attention to the match. Christopher has had that hold locked in tight a long time now.

Vinegar: But Alex has been dragging him across the ring.

Lieberjosch: To what end? There's no rope breaks here.

Jay: But he just forward rolled out and slung Chris into the cage!

Vinegar: Alex quickly back up but he's clearly favouring his right foot.

Lieberjosch: I bet Christopher will take his left too and put him straight back into that wheel chair.

Vinegar: Chris turns and charges- But The Dragon with a Hurricanrana sends The Black Knight into the cage again. Alex back to his feet and hits a dropkick to Chris's back that sends him into the cage a third time. Topped off with a Blue Thunder, sit out powerbomb! Alex gets back up and, he looks like he's trying to walk of the pain in that ankle.

Lieberjosch: Which just gives Christopher the time he needs to recover. He's already stirring and Alex isn't even paying him a blind bit of attention. Oh yes, adjusting your boot is far more important.

Vinegar: He's turned around now though and Chris is only up to one knee. Alex brings him up the rest of the way and throws a few hard shots to the body for good measure. Then slammed face first into the turnbuckle. A trio of hard kicks to the lower back of the Black Knight and Alex hoists him, placing him in the top turnbuckle.

Jay: He slingshots onto the adjacent ropes.

Vinegar: And springboards into a flying side kick that slams Chris face first right into the corner beam of the cage.

Jay: And there's that blood you mentioned!

Vinegar: Chris Peterson is busted open. His body tries to fall back but his legs get caught between the ropes and the cage and slumps into a Tree of Woe position. Alex hits a hesitation basement dropkick for good measure that knocks him loose.

Lieberjosch: That may have been a mistake by the Dragon. Many men are fired up by the sight of their own blood. Christopher could be one of them.

Vinegar: Well he definately knows he's bleeding. He just held his hand to his head and took a look at it. It's starting to flow freely now. Chris has to worry about it impeding his vision as this match goes on.

Jay: Alex is stalking again. Chris hasn't noticed. Yari Kick!

Lieberjosch: Fails once again! Chris rolled aside it this time.

Vinegar: Alex able to catch himself though before he can crash and- Oh my, a blatant low blow from the Black Knight.

Lieberjosch: No DQ's!

Vinegar: Alex is doubled over in pain from that cheap shot and Chris throws him shoulder first into the ring post. Drags him out into a suplex position. Takes him up, slams Alex's back against the cage and drops him forward on his face.

Lieberjosch: I told you. He's fired up now.

Vinegar: Alex trying to make some space to regroup but Chris is all over him. He's pulled him back up and nailed him with a T-Bone suplex.

Lieberjosch: There's a slash across the throat. It looks like he's going to finish it now. He pulls Kiseragi up....Flesh Wound! Christopher Peterson just nailed the Flesh Wound and Alex is down. All he needs to do now is walk out of the door.

Vinegar: But Alex has landed between Chris and the door.

Lieberjosch: Just climb over him.

Vinegar: It doesn't look like he wants to risk Alex being able to tie him up. He turned around and is scaling the cage. Maybe taking his time a little too much.

Lieberjosch: Kiseragi is out. No-one survives the Flesh Wound.

Vinegar: Alex may be favouring his neck but he's managed to push to his feet with the held of the ropes.

Lieberjosch: Chris is almost at the top though. He's swung one leg over.

Jay: Ninja Dragon Speed!

Vinegar: Alex just charged across the ring and used the ropes to spring up the cage! He's got Chris's trailing leg, preventing him from climbing down.

Lieberjosch: Kick him off! Kick him off!

Vinegar: Chris trying to shake is leg free and dropping hammer fists onto the Dragon's head to break him loose but Alex is holding on tight and fighting his way up. He's got a leg out and is positioned behind the Black Knight.

Lieberjosch: Well we all knew he'd try that sooner or later.

Vinegar: Don't. You know full well what happened to Hanson. Chris throws a back elbow but Alex locks up the arm and throws him off balance. Chris tries to keep himself from falling but leaves himself exposed and Alex takes the other arm. He's got a full nelson.

Lieberjosch: What goods a full nelson from-

Jay: DRAGOOOOOON SUUUUUPLEEEEEX!!!

Vinegar: OH MY GOD! Alex Kiseragi just twisted off the top of the cage and utterly drilled Chris Peterson with an enormous Dragon Suplex!

Crowd: Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!

Vinegar: Chris Peterson looks broken and bleeding on the floor.

Lieberjosch: Alex doesn't look much better.

Vinegar: But the Dragon is first to his feet. He's still holding his neck and favouring his right foot but he's making his way to the door.

Lieberjosch: Christopher is moving!

Vinegar: Glenn Burke opens the door and Alex has climbed through the ropes.

Lieberjosch: Chris is up!

Vinegar: Alex is through the door.

Lieberjosch: He has to touch the ground!

Vinegar: Chris tries to chase him down but he can barely stand.

Lieberjosch: He's going to get him!

Jay: In the face!

Lieberjosch: No!

Vinegar: Alex heard that coming and slammed the door behind him, brutally cutting off Chris's pursuit as the Dragon steps down to the ground.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Dennis: Here is your winner! Alex Kiseragiiiii!!!

Vinegar: What a brutal hard fought match that was. An impressive performance put in by the young Chris Peterson but Dragon rules the day.

Lieberjosch: He won't get away with that. The Lord Chief will have something to say about this.

Vinegar: Well if he does we'll have to wait until next week to hear it because that's all we've got time for this week. Log on again next week for another exciting edition of UGWC Synergy!

The show fades out to the sight of Alex backing up the ramp, arms held high in triumph.

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Yeah, really sorry for my poor contribution today guys. Thanks to those who volunteered, and to Bryan for stepping into the breach.

[Red Bull Icon]

Loved the recaps, that shouldn't surprise anyone. Also loved Ty being a technical wonder and dominating with submissions.

[Orgabsmic]

I'm surprised Ty understands submissions.

[EZRA]

No special thanks needed, bro. I've only written like 5 matches the whole time I've been working with you folks.

Anyways, even with recaps we always pull off amazing shows. A recap that makes me laugh is better than nothing. Well done, broskis. I'm glad to be back.

[Alex Kiseragi]

Yeah the recaps were actually very amusing. good matches too. Hope the main event didn't disappoint anyone.

[Sheena Ramone]

This show, for a recap, was quite well done. Entertaining as hell, and with a lot of story development.
Jordan, handled the turn well, good work with that
