DT: Folks, this next match is certainly one that cannot go unnoticed.
DM: Indeed it cannot, as newly acquired Ken Cloverleaf and AJ Cirrus prepare to take on Troy Windham’s entourage, August De La Rossi and The Mysterious Zoltan.
MN: If you ask me, we’ve already weeded out the talent from the fed down the street all we need, so we can already see where this match is headed.
DM: Neels, Ken Cloverleaf is a former World Champion! AJ Cirrus is a renowned talent from several different companies!
MN: And Steven Shane took them both out last week!
DT: Neels, Steven Shane was tagging with the World Champion and the number one contender to her title.
MN: And they were beating the hell out of each other while Steven Shane made AJ Cirrus admit his inferiority to him.
DM: That’s a good point, but I don’t think Shane picking up the win really sealed the whole match and proved that these two men cannot compete.
DT: Well guys, the point, I think, is that Ken Cloverleaf and AJ Cirrus do have a tough road ahead of them if they wish to take that next step to the Tag Team Titles.
[Cue up “Autobahn” as The Mysterious Zoltan steps out from behind the curtain to heel heat.]
MN: That’s what I’m talking about right there, Thomas! Look at this man! The size of those chains around his neck pale in comparison to this man’s size!
[Zoltan rolls into the ring. Cue up “Take Me Out”, enter August De La Rossi.]
DT: Folks, this is quite an impressive team here. As you can see, Zoltan brings the power, while August quickens the pace to keep their opponents off balance.
DM: That’s one reason why many consider them one of the most formidable tag teams on the FW circuit. They certainly have the ability to keep their opponents guessing with their difference in styles.
DT: Well, both of their opponents tonight are former tag team champions. Not together, but I’m sure that doesn’t make much difference once they’re between those ropes.
DM: Ken Cloverleaf was actually one half of the 2003 FWI Tag Team of the Year as a member of Sensationally Perfect.
MN: And we saw who carried that tag team last week. There is no way they’re walking out of this arena when that Zoltan is standing across the ring from them.
[Cue up “The Wind Below”, as Ken Cloverleaf enters to even more heel heat.]
DT: Well, there’s the self-proclaimed 2003 Tag Team of the Year.
DM: Cloverleaf has been rather vocal about how he feels that he carried Sensationally Perfect.
MN: Yet, his former tag team partner is the one that earned the win last week.
DT: I think you’ve stressed that fact already, Neels.
MN: I’m just saying.
[Cloverleaf stops at the base of the ramp. Cue up “Papercut”. Enter AJ Cirrus to more heat.]
DT: The time for talking is over; we’re ready to get this one underway! The actions will do the talking now.
[The two teams stand in their corner as they decide who will start the match.]
[DING DING DING]
DM: It would appear to be Cloverleaf and De La Rossi to start this match here.
DT: The two men encircle each other, each looking to scout out the opponent.
DM: There’s a collar and elbow tie-up. Cloverleaf quickly gets the advantage with that side headlock.
DT: De La Rossi presses him off and into the ropes. Cloverleaf back off, and De La Rossi hits the deck. Cloverleaf off the other set…
DM: Big dropkick by De La Rossi!
MN: The superiority is showing, folks!
DT: Cloverleaf bounces back up, but De La Rossi quickly takes him down with a drop toe hold! He now floats over and locks Cloverleaf in a front face lock.
DM: Cloverleaf is squirming, but he has nowhere to go. August reaching out with his free arm now and here comes Zoltan.
DT: Heavy stomps by Zoltan as August breaks the hold and leaves the ring. Zoltan pulling Cloverleaf back to a vertical base now.
MN: Oh man! What a noggin!
DM: Big headbutt there by Zoltan as he now lifts Cloverleaf up before sending him back down with that gorilla press slam! Zoltan going for the cover here…
…one…
…two…
…kickout by Cloverleaf.
MN: If I just got hit with a melon like that, I’d stay down just to keep from getting hit by it again.
DT: I don’t think you’d let him hit you with it in the first place.
MN: No, but I thought the world already knew I was smarter than Ken Cloverleaf.
DT: That’s not what I meant.
MN: What did you mean then?
DT: Nevermind.
DM: Zoltan sends Cloverleaf off the ropes…
DT: Wow! What a clothesline from Zoltan! He now pulls Cloverleaf to his corner as he reaches out to tag De La Rossi.
DM: De La Rossi to the second rope…
DT: Guillotine leg drop onto Cloverleaf! There’s a pin…
…one…
…two…
…NO! AJ Cirrus broke it up!
MN: These guys have to resort to cheating to win! This is ridiculous!
DT: Well, as the ref restrains AJ Cirrus here, the Entourage is getting an unfair advantage! Look at them stomping away at Cloverleaf!
DM: As underhanded as it may seem, this is good tag team wrestling.
MN: Underhanded? Did you see AJ Cirrus illegally enter the ring? Zoltan has to the count of five to exit the ring!
DM: And the ref has now started that five-count, and in doing so, Zoltan leaves the ring.
DT: De La Rossi picking Cloverleaf up off the canvas now. Backs him into the ropes and whips him across the ring. He looks for a back body drop.
DM: No! Cloverleaf leaped over him for a sunset flip!
…one…
…two…
…no! A kickout by De La Rossi.
DT: Look at De La Rossi now, charging Cloverleaf after that attempted quick win!
DM: But Cloverleaf with a quick drop toe hold! De La Rossi is trying to get back up, but Cloverleaf has his legs locked! He’s reaching to his corner…
DT: Yes! There’s a tag to AJ Cirrus!
DM: Cirrus with the right hands! He’s got De La Rossi reeling here! He’s rearing back!
DT: No!
[The crowd groans.]
MN: Beautiful! De La Rossi knew Cirrus’s weak spot, and he went for it!
DT: Neels, I think that’s every man’s weak spot.
MN: That’s how he knew it would work on Cirrus! Absolutely beautiful display of scouting there by De La Rossi!
DT: De La Rossi quickly takes down Cirrus with a bulldog. He now rolls to the corner.
MN: Zoltan! This guy is going to be able to make AJ Cirrus submit by simply flexing his calves in front of him!
DM: Zoltan, quickly pulls Cirrus up. But not before he sends him right back down with that belly-to-belly suplex! There’s the pin…
…one…
…two…
…kickout by Cirrus!
DT: Zoltan back up to a vertical base. He pulls Cirrus with him as he extends his arm to the corner.
DM: Now here comes De La Rossi again, leaping over those ropes to quickly fire off a right hand into Cirrus, followed by another. He backs him into the ropes.
DT: Irish whip to the other side. Wow! What a spinning heel kick there by De La Rossi! Another pin…
…one…
…two…
…No! Cloverleaf breaks it up!
MN: Zoltan looks angry!
DT: Zoltan backs Cloverleaf into the ropes with those clubbing right hands. He now whips him off.
DM: Springboard clothesline! Cloverleaf just took Zoltan down and out with that springboard clothesline! What a reversal!
DT: But De La Rossi, quick to make the recovery as he clubs down on Cloverleaf with that right forearm to the back of the neck.
DM: But here comes Cloverleaf! Right hand! Another right hand! Down goes De La Rossi!
MN: Zoltan! Where are you at?
DT: Cloverleaf picks up De La Rossi. He then sends him right back down with a snap suplex!
DM: Cloverleaf is on fire!
DT: De La Rossi bounces right back up after that snap suplex. And there he goes! Cloverleaf just took himself AND De La Rossi to the outside with that clothesline!
MN: Don’t look now, fellas!
DT: Uh oh! Zoltan is back up! AJ had better stay on the ground!
MN: He’s wobbling!
DM: Kick to the midsection by Zoltan!
DT: The Zoltan Explosion! He holds on for the cover…
…one…
…two…
…THREE!
[DING DING DING]
TF: Here are your winners… Troy Windham’s Entourage!
MN: I told you! I told you nobody messes with The Mysterious Zoltan, and look where AJ Cirrus is now! He’s counting the birds!
DM: And now, The Entourage have a shot against Blitz for the EPW Tag Team Titles!
DT: Wow! I cannot wait to see that one.
[CUTTO: De La Rossi and Zoltan heading up the ramp]
DM: Folks, there are your number one contenders. We’ve got to take a break, but don’t go anywhere!
