[The lights dim as "Til I Collapse" by Eminem blares over the arena. The fans along the aisle stand and turn their attention to the stage as Cross steps out and makes his way to the ring. Cross climbs in over the ropes.]
[The music fades out and the sound of monks chanting comes over the speakers.]
DT: That can mean only one thing!!!
["Figure You Out" by Nickelback kicks in as Beast, wearing the EPW World Title around his waist steps out and drives his arms into the air to a thunderous crowd reaction. Beast makes his way to the ring, slapping hands with a few fans along the way and climbs into the ring. Beast removes the title and hands it to the referee.]
[SFX: Bell Rings.]
DT: And we're underway!!
DM: A lot of those who follow A1 Wrestling have been looking forward to this matchup ever since Cross signed a contract here. Cross was able to hold their World Title for the better part of a year while our own Beast was never able to get over that hump.
DT: Beast and Cross circling each other. There's the tie-up into the side headlock by the champ. Cross powers out- Beast dives to the mat, executing a baseball slide through Steele's legs and popping up behind him. Cross turns quickly, but gets DDTed for his trouble!
MN: Cheap! Cheap!
DT: Cross staggers to one knee, and Beast whips him to the ropes, but the A1E Champ ducks Beast's clothesline, rebounding off the opposite ropes. This time, Beast jumps over Cross, avoiding a big shoulder block; however, Cross rebounds again and floors the champ with a flying lariat!
MN: Cross is gonna kill big loafy. I just know it!
DT: Beast gets to his feet, but Cross clotheslines him down. Again Beast rises, and Cross bounds off the ropes for another clothesline, but Beast hurtles forward and spears the big man viciously! He hooks Cross' leg, but only gets a 2 count!
DM: Beast pulled that spear out of his ass right there!!
MN: Bet it's not the only thing he's pulled out of his ass lately....
DT: Beast pulling Cross to his feet.....twisting the arm around an short arm clotheline!!
DM: Shades of Jake Roberts.
DT: Beast now to the ground attack as he latches onto the right arm of Cross and locks him into a modified Fujiwara armbar.
DM: Not a true fujiwara armbar however.
MN: How the hell do you know?
DM: By the fact that Cross' arm is still in his socket.
DT: Beast pulling back hard and Cross screaming out in agony, but refusing to give up!!
DM: This is still wearing down that arm, and Cross will need to figure a way out of this pretty soon if he doesn't want to be taken past the point of being able to use that arm.
DT: Cross slowly scooting across the ring - now Beast let's go.....leaps up and drops a leg across the bicep of Cross!! Cross writhing in pain here!!
[The crowd begins to stir as EPW owner Dan Ryan appears on the ramp and begins to walk to the ring. Beast catches a glimpse of him but goes right back to work on Cross as the owner approaches ringside and crosses his arms across his chest.]
DT: Well, our ever-present owner is present once more. Beast draping Cross across that bottom rope and drops a leg across his neck.
MN: Is Ryan clapping?
DM: I believe he is.
DT: Ryan apparently liking what he's seeing here as Beast drops another leg across the neck!
[Ryan waves his hands in the direction of Cross directing Beast to continue. Beast glares at the owner and narrows his eyes before going back to Cross.]
DT: Beast back over to Cross....INSIDE CRADLE BY CROSS!!! ONE.....TWO!!!NO!!! BEAST JUST GETS OUT!!
DM: That would've been embarrassing.
DT: Beast back up quickly and nails Cross in the jaw with a right hand!! Cross staggers back but returns fire with a right of his own!! Right from Beast!! Right from Cross!!! Right from Cross!! Cross shoves Beast back into the ropes!! Beast comes back....TILT-A-WHIRL BACK BREAKER FROM CROSS!!!
MN: Holy crap!
DT: Cross struggling to his feet! Beast slowly coming to his feet! Kick to the midsection by Cross!!! Standing headscissors!!!!
DM: No way he hits this here!!
DT: Cross trying to pull Beast up for the Golgotha!!! He's got him up and --- WAIT!! WHO'S THIS!!! SOMEONE JUST SLID INTO THE RING!! IT'S DIS!!! DIS TACKLES CROSS AT THE KNEE!!!
MN: What the???
DT: Beast falls from six and a half feet up and falls to the side!! DIS NOW PUMMELING CROSS!!! WHAT THE HELL IS DIS DOING ATTACKING CROSS LIKE THIS?!
DM: Hmm...something off here. Dis looks a little....I dunno...different than usual.....
DT: DIS IS DRAGGING CROSS TO THE CORNER AND GOING OUTSIDE!! HE TAKES BOTH LEGS AND WISHBONES HIM AROUND THE CORNER POST!! DIS CLIMBING UP AND --- FIGURE FOUR AROUND THE POST!!!
DM: This is gonna cause some serious damage!!!
DT: Dis letting go and taking off up the ramp!! What the hell is going on here?!?!
MN: Beast is about to get an easy victory, that's what!!!
DT: Dan Ryan is frantically motioning Beast to take advantage of this situation!!
DM: Beast is just now coming to his senses!
DT: Ryan yelling at Beast!! Beast is going over to Cross and....and he's helping him up!!
MN: Oh my God, you've got to be kidding me. He's not gonna pin him??
DT: Ryan's losing his mind on the outside and Beast yells at the owner to shut up!!!
MN: Deck him, boss!!
DM: Beast is getting a little too brave in there.
DT: Ryan now throwing his hands up and heading back up the ramp. Beast now waving someone in to help Cross get out of the ring and I guess this match is over! The referee is going over to Tony Fatora.....
TONY FATORA (from outside): Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of Cross being unable to continue this match has been declared a NO CONTEST!!!!!
[Boos]
DT: Well, as Beast helps Cross back up the ramp we remind you all that next week we return to you with the final Aggression before our big Pay Per View as we take on San Antonio, TX!!!! We'll see you all next week!!!
[CUT TO: Backstage where we see Cross being helped by medical staff. In the distance we see Dis, carrying a bag over his shoulder ducking out through the rear entrance. Cross grunts as the door to his dressing room is swung open by an EMT. They disappear into the room, as in the distance....down the hall someone else is seen exiting their dressing room.]
