You can hear the chattering of a large crowd, but no visuals. As a cold, blue spotlight clicks on over a blocky “U”, the opening strains of “Red Cold River” by Breaking Benjamin slowly tease the opening. A slow, CO2 mist curls out from around the letters as the fans start to get excited. Spotlights continue to flick on over subsequent letters, “G,” “W,” “C,” and when Ben Burnley screams “RUN” to usher in the song proper, the stage lights up with six-foot blue flames and the word “Chill” is emblazoned in black across the company letters. The fans hit their feet as pyros fly, and we’re taken to ringside to join our broadcast team of Aaron Reese, "The Drunken Buzzsaw" Chaos and Daniel Hanson.
Reese: Good evening, everyone! And welcome to the ninth edition of UGWC Chill, this one coming to you from Barcelona, Spain!"
Hanson: Are we actually starting the show now? Or do I have to spend another twenty minutes watching a bunch of amateurs who are clearly out of their element?
Reese: My esteemed colleague is referring to tonight's preshow, which featured some of Supreme Jersey Wrestling's top stars doing battle in an eight-man tag team match.
Hanson: It is very apparent that the fans here in Spain are starved of any real in-ring action. That's the only thing even remotely possibly to justify that anyone is actually still in this building after bearing witness to that monstrosity.
Chaos: Shit, I liked it.
Hanson: You're drunk.
Chaos: They might be, too. See? More than one reason for people to stay...
Reese: For anyone interested, that eight-man tag team match was won by the team of Phobos Timore, Dos Tequila One, and the Two Brother Army.
Hanson: If we're finished plugging a two-bit indy fed, think we can begin focusing on the shit that actually pays our wages?
Chaos: Still pissy that even SJW wouldn't give you a tryout, eh Hanson?
Hanson: Oh shut up, Chadwick!
Reese: We are a week removed from the Massive Melee pay per view event, where we witnessed the woman now known simply as LACKLAN outlast all others in the melee battle royal, thus earning herself a World Championship Match at Wrestlestock!
Hanson: Gotta sting a bit, huh, Chaos? The woman who has obliterated a mark that you held so dear, well on her way to winning the World Championship that eluded you during your entire stay in UGWC.
Chaos: Hey, I give the broad all the credit in the world. She has epitomized what the Chaos Title is all about, and I have no doubt that she'll take that same determination and focus it on Vaughn at Wrestlestock. Angie better be prepared, or she's gonna be known as a former World fuckin' champ real soon.
Reese: But that will be at Wrestlestock. Here tonight, former best friends will collide in our Main Event, as Kenzi Grey takes on a woman that she knows extremely well, Brittany Williams, as the two go to war in a ladder match here in Palau Blaugrana.
Hanson: The way things have been going for Kenzi lately, we might see an upset here tonight. And honestly, if that happens, I shudder to think what Kenzi will do to B-Brat.
Reese: But first, Konrad Raab will be in action to kick off the night's action, as he will be taking on a newcomer to UGWC, 'Beautiful' Bradley Deegan.
Chaos: Something about that dude that I don't fuckin' like.
Hanson: Obviously you wouldn't like him, Chaos. He has class, which is something that you will never be accused of displaying.
Chaos: Go fist yourself, Hanson.
Reese: And with that, we go to the ring, where Mark Thompson is set to make the introductions for tonight's opening match.
Thompson: Ladies and Gentlemen... welcome to CHILL!!!
Thompson: Standing six-two and weighing in at two-hundred twenty pounds, here is 'Beautiful' Bradley Deegan!!!!!
The lights drop and the operatic singing begins, shortly joined by the violins and orchestral section. The violins play their tune as gold spotlights begin to randomly shine on the stage. Each time the violins play their rhythm, a different light spotlights a different part of the ramp. They quicken as the as violin speeds up and the operatic voice gets more dramatic in the background. The lights suddenly cut as the solo violin stops and the music speeds up. The drums speed up and climax and the arena is pitched into blackness. the operatic singing builds again and a single, large gold spotlight shines on center stage where "Beautiful" Bradley Deegan stands with his back to the audience and his gold cape fluttering behind him. He raises his arms and poses that way until the four minute mark, when he finally turns around and begins his slow walk to the ring. He ignores the fans the entire way down, except for ones who touch him, who he orders his bodyguard to run interference against. As he reaches the bottom of the ramp he waits as Khan walks up the ring steps and onto the apron. Khan pushes the ropes open and Bradley slowly ascends the steps and walks into the ring. Once in the ring he walks to center ring, where the gold spotlight shines on him as he turns slow circles at center ring with his arms outstretched. Khan walks up behind him and waits as the music accelerates towards the crescendo. Khan reaches down and pulls Bradley's cloak off in perfect timing with the end of the song. Once it's over, Bradley walks to his corner and impatiently allows the referee to do his or her pre-match check.
Reese: Deegan sure seems to think a lot of himself, doesn't he?
Hanson: Rightfully so. Having seen what he is capable of in various matches during the course of his young career, he has every right to think highly of himself. Matter of fact, he is what Alan Wallace used to be.
Chaos: Fuckin' Wallace...
Reese: The smirk on his face says everything that needs to be said.
Hanson: He has the looks, the skill, and the youthfulness. And if all else fails, he's got Khan.
Thompson: And his opponent...
Thompson: Standing six-four and weighing in at two-hundred four pounds, here is 'The Iceman' Konrad Raab!!!!!
As 'Cold as Ice' by M.O.P plays over the sound system, Konrad comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands with a side cross necklace on his neck with the blue and black yin-yang tattoo on his right shoulder and Iceman from X-Men tattoo on his back. He then high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he gets down from the turnbuckle and does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he looks at his opponent waiting for the match to start.
Reese: Konrad Raab had one heck of a match against Donovan Hastings at Massive Melee. 'The Iceman' has come a long way since first joining UGWC.
Hanson: Sure. He should get the next participation trophy we hand out.
Reese: That isn't veyr nice, Daniel.
Hanson: What? It's not like we give them out to everyone. Dickhead over there won't be getting one.
Chaos: You should stop letting your mouth write checks that your ass is unable to cash, Hanson. Fair warning.
Reese: Thankfully, there's the bell. This match is officially underway!
Hanson: 'The Beautiful One' obviously has to be wondering just who he pissed off, being booked against the likes of someone like Raab.
Chaos: Kinda like how I wonder what Reese and I did to deserve having to deal with your bitch-ass every Chill. At least it isn't on a weekly basis though. Small victories, right Reese?
Reese: I plead the fifth, and instead would prefer to call the match...
Hanson: Ha!
Reese: ...but yes.
Hanson: Douche.
The two men lock up, with Konrad Raab applying a side headlock. Deegan connects with an elbow to the midsection, but this only causes Konrad to cinch in the hold even tighter. Deegan looking for a way out, but Konrad releases the headlock, only to maneuver in behind of 'The Beautiful One' and apply a hammerlock. Raab wrenching up on the arm of Deegan, but Bradley with great situational awareness as he realizes that he is close to the ropes, and reaches out to grab the top rope, forcing Konrad to break the hold before Alice Nasmith begins the mandatory five-count.
Reese: A look of exasperated irritation on the face of Bradley Deegan, as he begins complaining to the official about something.
Hanson: I'd be irritated, too. Look at how much Raab is perspiring already. Bradley Deegan should not have to contend with such things in his first match with UGWC, and I think he has every right to file a formal complaint with the official on record.
Chaos: The fuck you want her to do, Hanson? Disqualify Raab?
Hanson: Yes. You're exactly right. Konrad Raab should be disqualified.
Chaos: The fuck for?
Hanson: Excessive sweating.
Reese: Deegan now turning his attention to Khan and giving directions, but Khan doesn't seem to care all that much.
Chaos: Would you?
Deegan finally diverting his attention back to Konrad Raab, and the two men lock up once again. This time Raab flings Deegan to the mat with a deep arm-drag. Deegan immediately pops off the mat, only to be taken down to the mat with a second arm-drag. Deegan back up again, but again is sent back to the mat, this time with a hip toss. Bradley back to his feet and charging at Konrad, but Raab bends at the waist and sends Bradley Deegan high into the air with a back-body drop. Deegan lands with a thud, and then rolls out of the ring, beginning to pace back and forth on the floor.
Reese: Bradley Deegan is slow to get out of the blocks here in this match, likely thinking that he would be quicker than Konrad in this match. Here in the early going, however, Konrad is a step or two quicker than Bradley, and it is showing in the ring.
Hanson: Obviously Konrad Raab is on some sort of performance enhancer. Yet another reason to disqualify him!
Reese: Deegan now berating his muscle out on the floor area, because it's Khan's fault that Deegan is being shown up by a man in his fifties, apparently.
Chaos: If Deegan ain't careful, Khan might do the dirty work that Konrad shies away from.
Hanson: He won't if he enjoys getting a paycheck each week.
Deegan hops back up on the ring apron, yelling at Alice to get Raab back. Konrad bouncing on the balls of his feet in the center of the ring now, as Bradley Deegan steps through the ropes. Raab immediately moves towards Deegan, but Bradley steps back through the ropes, standing on the apron once more. Konrad over to face him now, as Alice attempts to maneuver in between the two of them. Deegan with a thumb to the eye out of sight of the official, before grabbing Raab around the back of the neck and dropping to the floor, dropping Konrad's throat across the top rope. Deegan then reaches under the bottom rope and grabs the feet of Raab. Yanking Raab's feet out from under him, Deegan pulls Konrad out to the floor and connects with a forearm shot to the side of the jaw, before ramming Konrad shoulder first into the steel guardrail.
Reese: The crowd is all over Deegan here, after taking that shortcut in order to gain the advantage on 'The Iceman'.
Hanson: Shortcut? What shortcut? All I saw was an inadvertent thumb that was caused by the official sticking her nose where it didn't belong. What should he have done, Reese? Ask Konrad if he is OK to continue? This isn't a gentlemen's game of cribbage; it's a pro wrestling match.
Chaos: Like you know what fuckin' cribbage is.
Reese: Deegan is all smiles now, as he makes his way over and pulls Konrad to his feet.
Deegan lifts Konrad up, and then runs towards the steel ring post, driving the back of Konrad hard into the unforgiving steel. He then slams the head of Konrad into the apron, before unceremoniously shoving him back into the ring under the bottom rope. Deegan slides in and makes the cover, grinding his forearm into the side of Konrad's jaw.
ONE!!!!!
KICK OUT!!!!!
Reese: Deegan with the early cover there, but it will take a lot more than that to keep Konrad Raab down for the three-count.
Hanson: It wasn't about pinning Raab there, Reese. It was about forcing him to exert the effort, when his back is already hurting due to being driven into the ring post. This your first day on the job?
Chaos: Keep being a dick, and it'll be your last.
Deegan to his feet now, grabbing Raab by the head and pulling him back to a vertical base. Knee lift connects to the sternum of Konrad, and then Bradley whips him to the far ropes. Raab back across the ring and is on the receiving end of a sidewalk slam. Deegan quickly back to his feet, and connects with a knee drop across the bridge of Konrad's nose. Deegan back up, waiting for Konrad to get back to his feet. Konrad finally up to a vertical base, but is sent back down to the mat with a chop block
Reese: 'Beautiful' Bradley Deegan heading to the top rope now.
Deegan perches himself on the top turnbuckle, taunting out at the crowd, before jumping off and connecting with a beautiful flying elbow. He makes a nonchalant cover, and Alice scrambles to get into position.
ONE!!!!!
TWO!!!!!
KICK OUT!!!!!
Reese: Kickout at two by Konrad Raab, and Bradley Deegan is up to his feet and getting into the face of Alice Nasmith.
Chaos: No sense in bitching about a supposed slow count... hook the leg next time, dumbass.
Hanson: You can't talk about 'Beautiful' Bradley Deegan that way!
Chaos: Funny, because I think I just did.
Deegan dismisses Nasmith with a wave of the hand, and begins smiling as he looks down at Konrad Raab. He begins lightly kicking at 'The Iceman', telling him that he's the future of this business, and that Konrad needs to take his old ass back to Germany. Konrad up to his hands and knees now, and Deegan begins paint-brushing the back of Raab's head. The proud German is finally up to his feet now, and connects with a straight right hand that stuns Deegan. Another right hand causes Bradley to stumble back a step or two, and a third right hand sends Deegan back into the ropes. Raab's momentum is stopped in its tracks after an eye rake from Deegan that causes Nasmith to threaten a disqualification, but Deegan ignores her as he applies a front facelock and then spikes Konrad with a DDT.
Reese: Konrad with a brief glimpse of offense there, but Bradley Deegan put a quick stop to it with an illegal rake of the eyes.
Hanson: Pretty hard to continue firing up, if you can't see what - or who - is in front of you.
Deegan slowly makes his way back to his feet, before pulling Konrad back to his. He connects with 'I'm Prettier', and then makes the cover, this time hooking the leg.
ONE!!!!!
TWO!!!!!
THR-NO!!!!!
Reese: Deegan doesn't look extremely please that Konrad kicked out after that face-buster maneuver.
Hanson: He realizes it's only a matter of time. He just didn't want to have to break a sweat here tonight. It'll be fine.
Chaos: He needs to stay on Raab, instead of focusing on the boos that the fans here in Spain are showering down upon him.
Deegan talking down condescendingly to a few fans in the front row, as he steps out onto the apron. Climbing to the top rope, he smiles down at Konrad, who is slowly trying to make his way back to his feet. He then yells out 'I'm the real money maker' to the fans to his right, before jumping off to attempt his blockbuster move of the same name. Raab moves at the last moment though, and Deegan grabs nothing but air, before slamming hard on his back on the mat.
Reese: Not so subtle dig at one of our Synergy mainstays, wouldn't you say?
Chaos: Considering who he was referring to, who gives a shit?
Hanson: I do, and soon, that 'mainstay' will, too.
Both men back to their feet, and Deegan makes a run towards Raab. Konrad lifts Bradley into the air, turning once he has him in his grasp, and then driving him into the mat with a spinebuster. Raab still a little slow in getting to his feet due to the punishment he's taken in this match, and he and Deegan are each back up to a vertical base pretty much simultaneously. Raab blocks a right hand, and then connects with a European Uppercut that just about lifted Deegan's feet completely off the mat. Deegan lunges towards Raab, but Konrad ducks under and moves in behind of 'The Beautiful One'. Grabbing Deegan around the waist, Raab deposits him overhead with a release German suplex. Both men back to their feet, Raab sending Deegan back to the mat with a double-underhook release belly-to-belly suplex.
Reese: Konrad quickly coming to life now, and he is tossing Bradley Deegan all around the ring.
Deegan up to his feet and stumbles backwards into the far corner. Raab takes off towards him, the step-up enzuiguri connecting just above the left ear of Bradley Deegan. Deegan stumbles out of the corner and eats a superkick that drops him to his knees. Konrad grabs Deegan around the throat, using all of his strength to lift Bradley into the air, before driving him to the mat with The Iceinator. Konrad with the cover, and Alice with the count.
ONE!!!!!
TWO!!!!!
THRE-NOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Reese: So close! Konrad Raab was mere inches away from defeating Bradley Deegan in Deegan's first match with UGWC!
Hanson: How in the hell does Raab just keep coming?
Chaos: He's a proud man, Hanson. Doesn't matter where he's from, or how old he is. Never judge a book by it's cover.
Hanson: Like you know what books are...
Raab crouched in the near corner now, waiting for Deegan to get to his feet. Once he does, Konrad takes off full-speed towards him, folding him up like an accordion with a vicious spear. Again Konrad makes the cover, and again Alice Nasmith drops to make the count.
ONE!!!!!
TWO!!!!!
THRE-NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
Reese: Hard luck for Konrad there, as when he made the cover, the right leg of Bradley Deegan was close enough for him to drape his foot on it in order to break the count.
Hanson: Talk about knowing one's surroundings. Kudos to Bradley Deegan for his awareness. That is a savvy, veteran move right there!
Chaos: Or maybe he's just fuckin' lucky.
Hanson: Didn't realize his name was Jettinia...
Konrad back to his feet, reaching down and grabbing the leg of Deegan. Dragging Brdley to the center of the ring, Konrad applies the Ice Lock, and the crowd goes wild.
Reese: Bradley Deegan is trapped in the center of the ring, and in considerable pain due to that ankle lock submission hold perfected by Konrad Raab. If he doesn't find a way out of this hold quickly, his night might be over.
Hanson: No! It can't go down like this. Khan needs to do something!
Chaos: He is. Looks to me like he might be slightly smiling.
Hanson: Never. The light must be in your eyes!
Deegan yelling out to Khan, who stands stoically for a moment, before hopping up onto the ring apron. Alice Nasmith makes her way over to Khan and admonishes him to get down, else she will be forced to begin her five-count. Back in the ring, Raab release the hold, before making his way over to where Khan stands. 'The German Sensation' says a few words to Khan, and the big man looks to apologize, before hopping back down to the floor. Nasmith still looking down and threatening to ban him from ringside if he does something like that again, as Konrad Raab turns and makes his way back over to Bradley Deegan. Deegan connects with a low blow uppercut that doubles Konrad over, and then 'Beautiful' Bradley Deegan grabs a hold of Konrad and drives him into the mat with Because I Can.
Reese: Not like this!
Alice Nasmith turns just in time to see Deegan make the cover, but doesn't seem him kick his foot up onto the middle rope for additional leverage as she makes her count.
ONE!!!!!
TWO!!!!!
THREE!!!!!
Thompson: The winner of this match, 'Beautiful' Bradley Deegan!!!!!
Hanson: I knew he would pull it off!
Reese: You can't be proud that he won in that manner?
Hanson: Why wouldn't I be? A win is a win, Reese. It's not Bradley's fault that Alice Nasmith is a completely incompetent referee. It's all about wins and losses in this industry, and in 'Beautiful' Bradley Deegan's first official match here in UGWC, he emerges victorious over a former champion in Konrad Raab. The celebration at the after party is simply going to be beautiful!
Reese: Deegan with the tainted victory here tonight, and once again, Konrad Raab falls short to someone not above breaking the rules to gain the advantage.
Chaos: Is what it is, Reese. Sucks for Konrad, sure, but he will learn from this match, just like he has learned from others. It'll make him better in the long haul.
Reese: Up next, Kenzi Grey goes one-on-one with former friend Brittany Williams. And that match will be a ladder match!
Bradley Deegan - 6.98
Konrad Raab - 6.63
