Synergy #59 Results - January 23rd, 2012

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

The words previously recorded show across the bottom of the screen. Right near the feet of the hundreds and thousands that line up around the UGWC Arena every Monday in an effort to get into the building early. Grab their seats, some snacks, maybe a picture or two of the ring crew setting up. Then that quickly becoming unmistakable voice rings out. Slow. Southern. Seeping with drawl.

Remi: Oh looky looky at all of dis. I surely do hope all of you people done brought de video cam-e-ra wit’ you all!

Remi Monroe walking side by side with the massive Vaughn Brennen towards the building. Remi pulling a wheeled bag behind him. Vaughn with a simply colossal carryall slung over his shoulder. It doesn’t take long before the sea of people start flooding the immediate area with wave after wave of all manner of canvas for the duo to autograph. Vaughn instantly becomes the center of a attention for the tiny children who hold up their tiny hands to compare to Vaughn’s.

Remi: Because Magnitude and Remi gon’ put on one hell-uf-va show for you all tonight I know dat much for certain.

Fan: Are you looking forward to your first match?

A voice calls out from the mass.

Brennen: I think we’re both just looking forward to taking the first few steps to right the course the UGWC has strayed from. Let’s get back to one man versus one man with the better man winning because he fought just a little bit harder and was just a little bit better than the other guy. But you’ll have to excuse us. We’re already late and have to get checked in or we won’t have that first match until next week.

Female Voice: We’ll cheer for you Remi!

Remi: Cha, cheer for all-of-de hard working guys. Or boo if you don’t be liking what dey be doing. But cheer fo’ Remi Monroe and Vaughn Brennen de loudest, eh!

We cut into a shot of the inside of the UGWC arena. Pan the ruckus crowd. Settle on the Vinegar, Lieberjosch, and Covert Jay.

Covert Jay: Year of the DRAGOOONNNN! In ninja progress.

Lieberjosch: Meaning we can’t see it?

Vinegar: I think he means we’re one week removed from Infinity. One week removed from crowning a new Heavyweight Champion of the ring. In proper UGWC fashion we have a stacked show for the fans tonight!

Lieberjosch: Well I’ll give him the card looks good. I only saw one name, Vaughn ‘Magnitude’ Brennen, but when you’re that big that’s all anyone needs to see.

Vinegar: That’s right folks. New comers Vaughn Brennen, James Carson, Remi Monroe, and veterans John Russo, and Medos will compete for the final three spots in the Global Challenge. Also on the card is a triple threat match between former Chaos Champion Abigail Knight as she faces against former Worlds Champion Travis Pierce, and current Cross Hemisphere Champion Moss Edwards.

Lieberjosch: A joke I’m sure. He’s our creative director. He had the Circle wrestle a fair many of his matches when he was too ashamed to show his face. Now he’s in a match with two former champions, neither of which got a return match. I’m calling fix right now.

Covert Jay: DRAGON! DRAGON now!

Vinegar: Not yet, Jay. But a main event of Alex Kiseragi teaming with Red Fusion against the pair of Ezekiel Pax and Phrixus Deimos is sure to set the stage and tease just a little bit in this Global Challenge preview, but first is a Horizons 2010 main event rematch as Donovan Hastings takes on Jet Somers! Let’s send it to Dennis.

Dennis: ladies and Gentlemen, the first match is scheduled for one fall,

'Everybody Down'

Dennis: Introducing first, from Deep Creek, Mississippi, JJJJJJEEEEEEEETTTTTT SSSSSOOOOMMMMEEEERRRSSS!

Vinegar: There are some sections of the crowd that have really warmed to The Piercing Weapons, especially since they ditched Robert Ooley last week.

Lieberjosch: An utterly ridiculous move on their behalf, Ooley is the greatest weapon anyone in this company can have and they discarded him.

Vinegar: I have to agree with Pierce and Somers, they are two former World Champions, they don't need Ooley, they're plenty dangerous themselves.

Lieberjosch: Time will tell, they have potential, but they have made their job much more difficult.

Vinegar: Another interesting subplot to this match is Jet Somers is facing the man whom he was once Cooperative Champion alongside, and next week he'll be facing that very man's closest accomplices in an attempt to win it for a second time.

Lieberjosch: If Donovan Hastings allows him to leave the arena tonight in full working condition.

'Ripper'

Dennis: And introducing his opponent,

Hastings: Stop right their Mitch, The Lord can take it from here.

Vinegar: Donovan has a microphone and has interrupted Mitchell Dennis.

Hastings: There was clearly a mix up when the card was initially formed. 'The Lord Chief' has an important night ahead of him at Infinity, for it will be the night he regains what is rightfully his, and obviously needs to take some time out to prepare for this.

Hastings: Wasting my time with a man who's ambitions are no higher than the meagre and unimportant Cooperative Championship's is just unacceptable. As for opening the show, well I think we are all aware of just how absurd a proposition that is.

Hastings: So, instead, The Lord Chief of Pain will announce Jet Somers' new and more suitable opponent.

'Back In Black'

Hastings: Chris Peterson!

Covert Jay: We really should have seen this coming.

Vinegar: it's not entirely surprising, but however he managed to do this, it does mean he is the only entrant in the Global Challenge who will have had a night off, that could prove to be important.

Lieberjosch: I'm sure Donovan would have been itching to step into the ring had they given him an opponent of a similar Calibre. In the space of a year Jet Somers has gone from World Heavyweight Championship contender, to fighting over the scraps of the Cooperative Championship.

Vinegar: The very titles held by Donovan's Girlfriend and his student, you'd have thought he'd have liked to have done them a favour and weakened Jet up in preparation for next week.

Lieberjosch: And what kind of teacher and mentor would that make him? Chris has to fight his own battles, Donovan won't always be around to help him, and he would only be doing him a disservice if he didn't prepare him fully for a life in the business.

Vinegar: That's a very good point but I honestly doubt that is his intention here. He's not even stuck around to offer him words of encouragement or advice, he was backstage before Peterson had exited the stage onto the ramp.

Lieberjosch: He's a busy and very important man.

Covert Jay: he's probably preparing an elaborate excuse to tell Calypso why he is unwilling to help her defend her meagre title.

Ding!

Vinegar: Well the match is under way, and Jet doesn't seem bothered in the change up in opponent, and the two men lock up and vie for an initial advantage.

Lieberjosch: Peterson slipping on a head lock and he tightens it...

Vinegar: Somers sending him into the ropes to break the hold, and then he stands his ground takign Peterson to the canvas with a shoulder block. Jet then getting a few stomps in before Peterson can scramble to his feet...

Lieberjosch: Superkick.

Vinegar: That's an eye poke, but regardless it gives Chris the opening to leap up and take Jet to the ground with a flying head scissors. Then he mounts him and begins to aim punches at his face...

Lieberjosch: But Jet grabs an arm, and then manages to reverse and spin Chris onto his back, and then Jet executes a tough ground and pound before getting to his feet and driving him face first into one turnbuckle, and then he carries him across the ring and slams him face first into another turnbuckle before throwing him onto his back.

Vinegar: Jet having no problem adapting to alast minute change of opponent more evidence of why he possibly UGWC's most gifted in ring athlete.

Lieberjosch: If that was the case why is he focusing on such an irrelevant title?

Vinegar: Because he and Travis Pierce are clearly intent on showing the world that they are the greatest unit in the industry at the moment.

Lieberjosch: And this hardly shows his superiority, we haven't seen Peterson in a ring since Horizons...

Vinegar: And I'll bet he had no idea he'd be thrust into a one on one match with Jet Somers, he's showing that now as Jet just manhandles him.

Covert Jay: I have a feeling someone has quickly tired of writing...

Lieberjosch: JETSTREAMER!

Covert Jay: See.

3!!!!

Dennis: here is your winner, JJJJJEEEEEEETTTTT SSSSSOOOOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEEERRRRSSSS!

Vinegar: Jet Somers getting a decisive victory over one half of The Cooperative Champions here tonight, but you can bet it won't be quite so easy next week, Peterson and Calypso will be prepared to defend their titles at Infinity, and we're sure to have a great match between two well oiled teams.

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Vinegar: It's time for our next match...

Covert Jay: And 2012's first 'lets throw 'em together and see what sticks' match.

Vinegar: Some contrasting style's will be on display in this triple threat match, and that makes it tough to pick a winner.

Lieberjosch: If Abigail doesn't get distracted and ensure this is another no-contest I'd have to go with Travis Pierce, he's got the cunning to play this one in his favour.

Vinegar: And he may well be buoyed by his partners victory over Chris Peterson earlier this evening.

'Shiner'

Dennis: Ladies and Gentlemen, the following contest is a triple threat match, making her way to the ring...ABBBBBIIIIIIGGGGAAAAAIIIIILLLLL KKKKKNNNNNNIIIIIGGGGGHHHHTTTT.

Vinegar: As Hans alluded to earlier we can only hope The Devil's Daughter doesn't get distracted by something like last week, but luck would have it we don't seem to have any rowdy customers in tonight.

Covert Jay: be fair, they were awful human beings.

Vinegar: I never said they were not, I'm just saying I'd like to see what Abi has got inside the ring.

Lieberjosch: It's violent and painful to watch, it won't have changed from 2011, trust me on this.

'You Know My Name'

Dexter: And the next opponent, making their way to the ring....TTTTRRRRAAAAAVVVVIIIIISSSS PPPPPIIIIIIEEEEEEEERRRRRRCCCCEEEE!!!

Vinegar: There must be part of Pierce wondering if this match is worth his full concentration, he has an important opportunity alongside Jet at Infinity, what was meant to be a punishment from Ooley, has turned into all they want.

Lieberjosch: Well at least setting their sights so low will reward in a greater chance of success.

Covert Jay: It'll bring them closer together too, The Piercing Weapons, a new love story to wash the bad taste of GabVola from your memories.

'I Turn My Camera On'

Dennis: Introducing last, he is the UGWC Cross-Hemisphere Champion, MMMMOOOOOSSSSSS EEEEDDDDWWWWAAAARRRRDDDDDSSSS.

Lieberjosch: Does anyone else think it's remarkably strange he has not been removed from his position of authority now he is an in-ring competitor, surely there is a case for arguing conflict of interests.

Vinegar: There is no suggestion that Moss has or will abuse his position of power.

Lieberjosch: You don't think hiring a group of wrestlers to help him stage an elaborate fraud suggests abuse of power?

Vinegar: If anything he ensured his alter-ego Prince Rudo faced a more rigorous set of challenges than your average competitor.

Lieberjosch: Oh yeah, The Rudo Rule's that allowed him to be 'substituted' out of a match were signs of an even playing field. The man is corrupt and should be removed from office immediately.

Vinegar: Well he will have no way to hide anymore, lets just give him a chance to carry out both roles, who knows where it could lead.

Lieberjosch: To the ruin of UGWC, mark my words.

Ding!

Vinegar: The match is under way, and it's starts at a high pace with all three competitors exchanging minor manoeuvres between one another, to the point where all three have tasted some success and failure at the hands of the other opponents.

Covert Jay: That was similar to the work of a much maligned Robcap.

Lieberjosch: Who malign's it?

Vinegar: Abigail Knight finds herself planted into the floor by a DDT from Travis Pierce, but Moss then pounces and hit's Pierce with an atomic drop followed by a bulldog, and now The Creative Director stands above two of his Entertainment Professionals.

Lieberjosch: See, that's an unnatural sentence in terms of play-by-play, the boss should not be competing with his charges.

Vinegar: Abigail gets her self back into things with a swift low blow which doubles Moss over, she then gets to her feet and kicks him square in the draw sending him flopping to the floor, she then turns her attention to pierce and hit's him as he gets to his feet with a dropkick to the chest, that sends him into the corner.

Lieberjosch: She hauls him to the top rope, and then follows him up...SUPERPLEX!

Vinegar: Pierce shifts his weight and comes down on top of Abi in a pinning predicament....

Lieberjosch: Moss breaks the count and drag's Pierce off of Knight and then tosses him through the ropes to the outside.

Vinegar: moss stepping backwards waiting for Abi to egt to her feet, Motivation is coming...

At this point the lights in the arena flicker as the GlobaTron flickers to life, as Abi gets to her knee's and Moss begins running forward Marek's face appears on the massive Video Screen, he's clearly adjusting the camera view, and as he steps back he reveals he is in Moss Edwards' Office, and just as Moss' knee smashes into Abigail Knight's face, we see his chair, facing the other way, with ropes bound around it's high leather back, and over the top we can see the unmistakable hair of Roxy Malone.

Moss forgets about the match and sweeps underneath the bottom rope as Marek raises a knife to the camera, wiggles his eyebrows with a smile and then turns towards the chair as he he turns the camera off.

Vinegar: What is going through the mind of Marek Daisuke, he's been spending too much time in the company of Ezekiel, poor, poor Roxy.

Covert Jay: it's not surprising, he's a snake, we all know that.

Vinegar: moss has abandoned this match and is darting backstage, and Pierce slides into the ring and cannot believe his luck, Abigail Knight is lying at his mercy on the canvas, so he smiles and makes his way across to the former Chaos Champion...

Lieberjosch: SMALL PACKAGE!

3!!!

Dennis: here is your winner, ABBBBBIIIIIGGGGAAAAIIIILLL KKKKNNNNIIIIGGGHHHHTTT!!!

Vinegar: Abigail Knight gets her first win of 2012, and Travis Pierce looks shocked that he fell for such an old trick.

Covert Jay: In fairness to him T-Rob is writing and unless it's a PPV he rarely does anything worthwhile.

Vinegar: Without showing disrespect to Abi and her victory, Moss is almost at his office and we have a camera crew with him, I'm not sure that's the wisest idea, who knows what we will see.

We join just as Moss bursts into his office, and Marek is nowhere to be seen, and the Creative Director rushes to the chair and the love of his life, he swings the chair round...

Vinegar: A dummy in a wig.

At this point Moss Computer Screen flickers on, and there sits a beaming Marek.

Marek: You said it yourself Moss, you don't know who I am. I am not my friend, I am not Ezekiel. I do not wish to hurt your family, I do not wish to punish your friends. All I want is you Moss, and I know exactly who you are, with or without the mask.

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Vinegar: We're two matches in and it's time to decide the final three competitors to next weeks Global Challenge.

Lieberjosch: Final two competitors. One was decided as soon as this match was announced.

Vinegar: Not matter how much you beg I'm sure he won't let you be his manager and he won't get you your house back.

Lieberjosch: You don't know that.

Jay: Everyone knows that.

Cecilia Ann starts to play and James Carson walks out onto the ramp to a fairly muted ovation.

Dennis: The following contest is scheduled for three falls and will decide the final qualifiers to the 2012 Global Challenge. Introducing first, from South Orange, New Jersey. Weighing in at 179lbs! James Carsooon!!!

Vinegar: James Carson, a new signing for UGWC over the winter break, making his in-ring début tonight and unlike the other débutantes in this match he's been keeping his cards close to his chest.

Lieberjosch: Of course. When you're new the one advantage you have is surprise. Why give that away?

James makes his way down to the ring and climbs up the steps and in through the ropes. He waits patiently while his music fades.

A single flame shoots up from the middle of the stage, before pyro explodes inwards from either side of the Globaltron. On the screen we start seeing clips of Medos in past matches. Medos walks out with a smile on his face.

Dennis: His opponent! From the Travis Pierce school of bio writing. Medos!

He raises both arms up in the air as he takes some steps before lowering them. He makes his way to the ring but stops just before to have a good look around him at the fans. He rolls into the ring and poses on the top turnbuckle.

The opening for "A Warrior's Call" kicks out over the PA system, with the drums in full swing followed by the guitar work, with spotlights encircling the arena. The arena goes dark before Michael Poulsen starts in with, "Let's get ready to rumble!" The spotlights converge on the entrance ramp with John standing there with his arms crossed.

Dennis: Their opponent! From San Diego, California! John Russooooo!!!

Vinegar: Russo was out for much of last year but with his experience he could be the dark horse not just in this match but in the Global Challenge itself.

Jay: Don't put any money on it though Hans.

He starts to make his way down to the ring after posing for a moment at a steady pace. When he reaches the ring, John slides in underneath the bottom ring rope. He then climbs each of the turnbuckles, raising a single fist in the air three times.

Hard Luck starts to play and Vaughn Brennan walks out to the top of the ramp, looking around the arena at the crowd. He raises his hands and pumps them, palms up into the air before making his way down the ramp.

Dennis: Their opponent! From Baltimore, Maryland. Weighing in at 450lbs! Vaughn Brennaaan!!!

Lieberjosch: There's the man right there. Though we could do with less of this crowd pandering if you ask me.

Vaughn reaches the ring, grabs the ropes from the ground and pulls himself onto the apron, then straight over the top rope. He walks around the ring, pumping his hands into the air while his music fades out.

The lights black then what starts as a single point of light at the entrance stage grows. Then flashes with the beat of Power Struggle as more and more lights begin to shine. Eventually the stage is a solid wall of sound and blinding light. Finally as the lyrics start up the stage lights dim to reveal Remi Monroe standing with his arms casually outstretched at his waist and his head tilted to the side.

Dennis: And finally! From Bon Temps, Louisiana! Weighing in at 222lbs! Remi Monroooe!!!

Vinegar: A surprising ovation of Remi Monroe here. He seems to have really made an impression on these fans last week.

Remi struts to the ring, joyous as it is purposeful, climbs up on the apron and steps through the ropes before looking out over audience at each of the four sides of the ring.

Vinegar: Those are all our competitors. This ones ready to go.

Ding! Ding!

Vinegar: Medos immediately launches at Vaughn Brennan. Maybe not the smartest thing to do but it's just like Medos to take on the biggest dog in the fight. Remi Monroe quickly closes on Russo and knocks him back with punches. James Carson seemingly happy to keep a low profile in the opening moments as Medos gets stopped and thrown into the corner by Brennan.

Lieberjosch: Since no-one else has I feel I should explain that there will be three falls in this match. Those pinned are not eliminated. The three who score those falls will advance to the Global Challenge.

Jay: And a chance to become the UGWC World Heavyweight Champion. Don't forget that.

Vinegar: Vaughn takes a couple of steps into an avalanche on Medos in the corner. Russo starts to fight Monroe back, ducking that lost shot and rocking him back with a hard left hook. Russo sends Monroe running with an Irish whip but gets taken out by a dropkick from Carson.

Jay: Ninja strike, from the shadows.

Lieberjosch: The guy has made one more in his UGWC career and he's already a ninja to you.

Vinegar: Monroe comes back and steps over Carson who takes him down with a drop toe hold on the rebound. Carson is quickly back up and putting the boot to Monroe but Magnitude locks him into a full nelson and slams him into the mat.

Lieberjosch: And that's the last we've seen of James Carson. He just got crushed by that slam.

Vinegar: Russo is back up and hits a hard leg kick to Brennan. That looked like it hurt but it doesn't bring him down.

Jay: Medos is back up.

Vinegar: And he goes after Brennan again. He comes off the ropes but this time it's Monroe making the save and cuts Medos off with a hard body kick that doubles him over. Remi takes him over with a snap suplex. Russo hits a second leg kick that brings Magnitude down to one knee. He goes to follow up with a big left but Vaughn catches it and just crushes his fist as he pushes to his feet.

Lieberjosch: Please note how James Carson is still down.

Vinegar: Vaughn with a boot to the gut of Russo without letting go of that hand.

Lieberjosch: Which by now must be just a mass of blood and bone shards.

Vinegar: And follows it up with a hard scoop slam. Monroe is starting to work over the left leg of Medos, slamming his knee into the mat several times.

Jay: And James Carson has pulled himself back up using the ropes so once again, Hans is wrong about something.

Vinegar: Vaughn drops a big elbow to the sternum of Russo and Carson launches into action. Hits a running boot to the face of Vaughn Brennan before he can get back to his feet. Now he's going for, it looks like a Boston Crab but trying to get hold of those tree trunk legs is another matter and Brennan kicks him away, knocking him to the ground.

Lieberjosch: You can never keep a giant like that down.

Vinegar: Monroe has pulled Medos to his feet and taken him down again with a Dragon Screw to that left leg. Now simply stomping away at the knee. Russo gets back up, trying to catch his breath . Brennan is back up as James Carson finds his footing again. Russo takes a rear waist lock.

Lieberjosch: And Vaughn clobbers him with a back elbow. Swatting him away like a fly.

Jay: But it gave Carson the moment he needed to hit a huge leaping lariat.

Vinegar: Brennan's size worked against him there as his high centre of gravity let him fall over the top rope to the outside. Monroe pulls Medos away from the ropes and hits a leg DDT he calls the Short Walk to what must now be a very sore left leg of the International Flame. Carson brings Russo back to his feet and shoves him into the corner, he lights him up with some knife edge chops.

Lieberjosch: Vaughn recovering quickly on the outside.

Vinegar: Carson whips Russo across the ring. No it's reversed and Carson hits the turnbuckle. Russo following him in but Carson gets a boot up. Russo hits it face first and staggers back. Carson hits a huge jawbreaker!

Jay: That must be the Motivate. Russo goes down hard.

Vinegar: And Carson makes the cover.

1!

3!

Dennis: James Carson advances.

Vinegar: James Carson makes it to the Global Challenge. Potentially he could now become the World Heavyweight Champion in only his second night of UGWC action.

Lieberjosch: Remember Russo is still in this but he looks sore and it will hurt your morale to take a fall like that.

Vinegar: Remi Monroe continues to systematically break down Medos as Vaughn climbs back into the ring. Russo hasn't gotten back up and Brennan takes a chance, making the cover.

1!


2!


Vinegar: No, Russo is able to kick out that time. Monroe brings Medos to his feet again but The International Flame is fighting back. Hitting some hard shots to the body of Monroe. He's able to rock him back enough to get some space. He tries to run the ropes but it's painfully clear that that left leg is hurting. No pun intended.

Jay: What pun?

Vinegar: Nevermind. Medos comes back with a strained clothesline that Monroe ducks easily. Medos rebounds, but Monroe grabs him and goes straight into The Purge! That rolling kneebar goes on smooth and Medos is tapping before he's even been rolled all the way over.

Dennis: Remi Monroe advances.

Vinegar: Two quick falls and the layout of this match has changed dramatically. Russo and Medos have both taken falls now and they have an uphill climb ahead of them if they're to win this one over the big man in the middle of the ring who has brought Russo to his feet. Chokeslam- No, Russo isn't out of it yet. He flips back and breaks the hold on his throat, lands on his feet and hits another brutal leg kick on the same spot as those earlier ones that puts Brennan onto one knee.

Lieberjosch: Vaguely impressive but you can't pin a guy who still has his knees underneath him.

Vinegar: So Russo hits an enziguri that knocks Brennan to the mat. He goes for the cover.

1!


2!


Lieberjosch: Of course not. It'll take much more than that. More than Russo has I'd say.

Vinegar: He doesn't seem demoralised. He floats over as Brennan tries to get his legs back under him. Locks on the Guillotine!

Jay: It's a gogoplata. You can't call one submission hold the same thing as an entirely different hold just because you like the name. It's just plain confusing.

Vinegar: Whatever it's called it's locked in tight.

Lieberjosch: Magnitude won't be brought low from there though. He's regaining his footing.

Jay: Medos is recovering but still favouring that left leg.

Vinegar: Brennan pulls Russo up above his head. He's going to power bomb his way out of it! Medos hits a running forearm to the back of the head of Brennan which seems to stun him a little, giving Russo time to roll out of his hold. Brennan lashes out with a huge back fist that knocks Medos clean across the ring.

Lieberjosch: And probably broke his neck. About time we were rid of Medos once and for all.

Vinegar: Russo hits the ropes this time and charges into a running toe kick that doubles Brennan over. Stunning Victory!! Russo hits the Stunning Victory! Here's the cover!

1!


2!



3!

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Dennis: John Russo advances.

Lieberjosch: What the hell just happened?

Vinegar: There you have it. Our final Global Challenge competitors have been selected. James Carson, Remi Monroe and John Russo will join Donovan Hastings, Alex Kiseragi, Red Fusion, Ezekiel and Phrixus Deimos to battle it out for the World Heavyweight title next week at Infinity. Don't go anyway though because our main event sees those last four men in cooperative action. That's next.

[T-Robosaurus Rex]

Vinegar: Another thrilling night here on Synergy!

Lieberjosch: Aren’t they all.

Vinegar: It has come upon us quickly, but Infinity is shaping up to be nothing less than a spectacular card.

Covert Jay: Rundown time!

Vinegar: It will be a Horizons rematch as former Chaos Champion Abigail Knight challenges for the title against the person who took it from her, Paul Cockatoo!

Covert Jay: The Mistress and her Indentured Servant defend the Cooperative Championship against the Piercing Weapons!

Lieberjosch: At Horizons, Prince Rudo revealed his identity as Moss Edwards as he defeated Ezekiel Pax to retain the Cross-Hemisphere Championship. At Infinity, he looks to defend the title against Zeke’s longtime partner, Marek Daisuke!

Vinegar: And in the Global Challenge, eight men will compete, with the winning becoming the new World Heavyweight Champion!

Lieberjosch: And we’re about to see four of the eight in our main event, it’s time for that now!

“Teahouse” begins to play, and Alex Kiseragi 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. He walks down to the ring, slapping a few outstretched hands as he passes. As he approaches the ring he takes a few quick steps and jumps through the first and second ropes into a roll and up to his feet. He climbs a random turnbuckle and poses for a second before backflipping off.

Dennis: The following cooperative contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, the Dragon, ALEX KISSSSERRRRAGIIIII!!!!

Covert Jay: DRAAGONNNNNNNNN!!!!!

Vinegar: Alex Kiseragi was chosen by Dexter Vines as his pick to enter into the Global Challenge.

Lieberjosch: And his partner was Vines’ other choice, somehow ending up with two after each Consortium member was meant to have one.

The lights start to flash a crimson red, as the opening strings to "Face to the Floor" by Chevelle blare over the PA. Once the song picks up, white strobes join the red flashes and Red Fusion steps out onto the stage to a strong pop. He looks around the crowd and points at a few signs. He jogs down the ramp slapping a few hands as he gets to the ring. Once there he walks up the steps and along the apron. He wipes his feet and climbs in and spreads his arms wide, spinning around in the middle of the ring.

Dennis: And his partner, hailing from Washington, D.C., RED FUUUSSSSIOOOONNNNN!!!!!

Lieberjosch: You know, it occurs to me that after that whole announcement that each Consortium member would get to pick a Global Challenge entrant, the only person that actually did was Vines, and he got two picks.

Vinegar: Moss Edwards picked Gabrielle Montgomery.

Lieberjosch: Right, but she is missing, and that spot had to be re-filled.

Vinegar: And Director Ooley deferred his pick to Vines.

Lieberjosch: After a sudden decision by the Piercing Weapons to bite the hand that fed them.

Covert Jay: Sounds like a C-O-N-spiracy!

“Phucking Phreak” begins to play, and Phrixus Deimos slinks out from backstage and takes his time coming down the ramp, pausing at the bottom.

Dennis: And their opponents, introducing first, the Embodiment of Fear, PHRIXUS DEIIIIIMOOOSSSSSS!!!!

Lieberjosch: Now here is a person that truly qualified for this tournament, beating Kiseragi in our main event last week. If there was any justice in the world, that would have already eliminated Kiseragi.

The lyrics from 'Raised by Wolves' by Falling in Reverse begin to play as the lights dim down inside the arena until it's completely dark. The tempo of the song picks up as Ezekiel makes his way out onto the stage with a spotlight on him. The rest of the arena is enveloped in darkness as he makes his way down to the ring. Ezekiel jumps up onto the apron and then onto the outside of the turnbuckle, facing the crowd. He leans backward into the ring, basking in the boos from the crowd. Ezekiel then jumps off the turnbuckle and into the ring. He removes his jacket and tosses it ringside as Deimos climbs up on the apron in their corner.

Dennis: And his cooperative partner, the Red-Eyed Warrior, EZEKIEL PAAAXXXXXXX!!!!!

Lieberjosch: Who also truly qualified for the tournament, didn’t get his spot handed to him like a booby prize like Fusion did.

Covert Jay: I consider all boobs to be prizes.

DING DING!!

Vinegar: Glenn Burke getting us underway, it’ll be Ezekiel starting the match against Kiseragi, opens with a flurry of Muay Thai strikes.

Lieberjosch: But each is deflected by Kiseragi, who counters with a shuffle side kick, and drops Ezekiel with an axe kick.

Vinegar: A quick lateral press, Ezekiel pushes him right off.

Lieberjosch: For each of these men, a goal in this match has got to be to keep yourself as fresh as possible for next week.

Vinegar: Ezekiel whipped off the ropes, comes back and takes down Kiseragi with a crossbody tackle, rolls right back to his feet.

Covert Jay: Kis up as well, catches a leg, DRRRRRAGGONNNNN SCREW!

Vinegar: Ezekiel taken down, Kiseragi holding the leg, looking for a submission of sorts, but Ezekiel kicks him away towards his corner, Fusion taps Kiseragi on the back, tags himself into the match.

Lieberjosch: Ezekiel ducks under a clothesline from Fusion, drops him with an Ode to the Elbow!

Vinegar: And now Ezekiel tags out to Deimos.

Lieberjosch: Fusion takes down the entering Deimos with a leg sweep, pulls him right into a snap suplex.

Vinegar: And now a standing dropkick knocks Deimos back into the ropes, but as Fusion charges Deimos sidesteps and flapjacks him onto the ropes!

Lieberjosch: Phrixus Deimos is mostly reactive in his style, he can absorb a lot of punishment, waits for an opening to strike and reverse momentum.

Vinegar: Deimos lifts the stumbling Fusion into a side suplex, hooks the leg!





ONE!!!





Vinegar: Fusion pushes him off, holding the back of his own head.

Covert Jay: And now a dropkick by Fear knocks the Human Cherry back into a turnbuckle in front of Ezekiel!

Lieberjosch: Deimos spears Fusion hard against the buckle, tags out to Ezekiel!

This was a nice lead into Infinity. I almost expected the typical mass brawl at the end but a mini staredown between Donny and Ezekiel was cool. I know it wasn't written into there, but I just took it that way.

Anyways, this was a great show from top to bottom. I'm interested to see where Vaughn will be for Infinity now that his hopes were dashed. I also liked the rundown and mentioning all the folks involved in the the GC instead of just focusing on the more 'popular' folks.

The card is looking good. Well done to all the writers.
