[CUE UP: "Eat the Rich" by Fozzy]
TONY FATORA: Weighing in at two hundred, fifteen and three eigths pounds, he hails from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania... The Anglo Luchador..... JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY....AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAA!!!
DT: One of the premier performers in wrestling today, JA asked for an opponent for what could be termed a comeback match after that attack by Savoy a while back.
DM: JA's a great competitor. He's playing a lot of mindgames with Savoy, and I can't wait until those two squre off, but tonight he's facing a tough man in his own right.
[CUE UP: "Damn" by Fabolous]
TONY FATORA: Weighing in at two hundred and fifty three pounds, he comes to us from Hollywood, California... this is... SENSTATIONAL... SSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEEENN NNNNNN... SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA NNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
DM: Shane's a tremendous competitor. We got a glimpse of what he can do last Aggression in the three-on-two handicap match, but tonight looks likely to showcase his talents against another hungry competitor. Both have a history in A1E, and we should be in for a real treat.
DT: There's the bell, and both men quickly into the collar and elbow. Both men jockeying for position here in the early going, but Shane manages to push JA against the ropes. JA reverses it, but Shane turns again. In the corner now, as the ref asks for a clean break... and Shane gives him one, appluading JA as he backs away from the corner.
DM: JA's going to want to use his speed against the bigger man. That was a clean break, but how long they'll stay clean once the desire to win kicks into high gear is anyone's guess.
MN: I'm surprised JA didn't bring a sack of sh-
DT: Mike....
MN: What? Can't I finish a sentence without being interupted?
DM: No.
DT: Back to the ring now as the two men lock up again. JA with the advantage this time, driving up into Shane and forcing him back. The ref asks for the break at the ropes... Shane throwing JA into the corner there!!
DM: JA did the smart thing driving up there, keeping Shane off his balance, but Shane letting the luchador know who the stronger man is.
DT: Shane and JA again going for a lockup, but JA with an armdrag!! Shane up, but JA meets him with a dropkick square to the face!! Shane trying to get up again, but JA off the ropes and takes him down with a flying back elbow. The cover…
TWO!!
Kickout by Shane there, as JA plays to the crowd!! I think he just let the Sensational One know that whilst he has more strength than the former IC champ, JA beats him in the speed department.
DM: JA giving Shane time to get to his feet. That’s a mistake right there.
DT: They go for another lock up… NO!! Shane changes it into a swinging lariat, and JA’s head just snapped on the mat!!
DM: Told you it was a mistake.
DT: Shane picking JA up, and a hard slam down followed by a kneedrop. Shane with the cover, but JA kicks out before the count of one. Both men back up, and Shane with a right hand rocks the masked Luchador. Irish Whip off the ropes, and a shoulder tackle takes JA down. Shane off the ropes, JA lies flat. Shane on the rebound, leapfrog there by JA. Shane again off the ropes, JA with a Mexican arm-drag take down!! JA trying to lock in an armbar, but Shane grabs him by the mask and throws him to the mat! Headlock applied there, but JA manages to get out quickly, pulling Shane down for the quick cover!!
DM: Shane out before the one count. JA runs the ropes, but gets caught with a tilt-a-whirl slam there. Shane managing a two count there on the cover, and this action has been quick.
MN: Damn right, I can’t even get a sentence in to be interrupted by Mr Rude over there.
DT: Rick Rude’s dead.
MN: Don’t try to be clever with me, Dave, it doesn’t suit you.
DM: Kiddies, kiddies. Steven Shane trying to gain an advantage here, keeping JA down and stretching the arms straight above his head, using his legs for leverage. The ref asking JA if he wants to give it up, but JA twisting… turning… and managing to spin out of it. Shane’s arms are crossed now, and JA with a double footed kick to the gut gets his hands free!!
DT: JA now coming off the ropes, and hits a shining wizard there!!
DM: These two are going to be out of breath sooner rather than later if they keep up this pace.
DT: JA picking Shane up now, locking in a full nelson… Snap Dragon Suplex!! JA following up with an elbow drop, and now looking to press the advantage by twisting the neck of the Sensational One.
DM: Hurt a mans neck and there’s a lot less that they can do. Shane trying to prize JA’s hands, but JA with a stiff kick to the back followed by a somersault neckbreaker from the front.
DT: JA now stalking Shane. Shane standing, gets met with a kick to the gut and a DDT! The Anglo-Luchador now moving to the outside… BIG somersault leg drop there!! The cover…
TWO!!
TH- NO!! Steven Shane still with presence of mind to kick out there. JA now with Shane by the hair, forcing him back to the corner, perching him on the top rope. Follows him up, and levels him with a shot to the head. Getting his footing… HURRICANRANA from the top rope!!
DM: Shane landed square on his back, the best way to land, whereas JA landed slightly off it looked like. JA still the first man to his feet though, shaking out his wrist or shoulder.
DT: JA with another cover, but only gets a two count!! JA has just been dominant in the past few minutes, and he’s signaling to end it!! Picking Shane up, could it be the Karelin Driver?
DM: He tries to pick him up, but Shane holding onto the leg. JA with a shot to the back, and another, but Shane won’t let go of the leg. JA now lets go of Shane, off the ropes… BIG sidewalk slam there!!
MN: Boo-ya!
DM: Shane shaking his head a little, the shots from JA did something and that move could very well have been a desperation move to get a respite.
DT: A respite Shane is taking, as he slowly pulls the masked Luchador to his feet. A hard forearm to the side of the face, followed by another, and a whip into the turnbuckle. Shane following JA into the corner with a kick to the gut. Hooks the arms, double arm suplex!! Shane goes for the cover.
TWO!!
Kickout there by JA.
DM: Shane now trying to get some air back, applying a chinlock on the mat.
DT: The referee asking JA if he wants to give it up, but JA refuses to quit.
MN: He’ll quit… when Savoy gets vengeance for the craptacular display JA gave him last Aggression.
DT: The fans trying to stir JA, as he tries to turn his body onto the mat?
DM: This could work.
DT: JA manages to get to his feet, dropping down on his front. Shane’s got all his weight on the back of JA!!
DM: Keep watching.
DT: JA MANANGES TO SQUIRM FREE!! Quick elbow drop to the back of Shane. The cover..
One…
TWO…
NO!!! Kickout by Shane, who levels JA with a clothesline as they both get to their feet!!
DM: Interesting counter there by JA, but it seemed effective. I don’t know if he could’ve done it without the element of surprise, as Shane looked just as shocked as the rest of us when JA worked his way onto his own stomach. Shane now pushing himself off the canvas.
DT: Shane to his feet. He picks JA up, and a snap suplex takes him down! Shane again lifting JA off the mat, this time Irish Whip to the corner - CLOTHESLINE into the corner almost takes JA’s head off!!
DM: This is the strength advantage coming into full play. Shane even has time to taunt the fans. A SENSATIONAL act all round.
DT: Are you reading from Mike’s cue-cards?
MN: I DO NOT HAVE CUE CARDS!!
DM: How can I read them? He wrote them.
MN: I miss the good old days. When it was just me and Dave and I could insult him without fear of reprisal.
DT: Back in the ring, Shane has JA in the corner again. Elbows to the head… and another… and a fifth!! Shane cheering to the fans, who applaud his efforts. JA FIRING BACK!! A headbutt!! And another!! Shane backing off… SPRINGBOARD CROSS BODY!! The cover by JA…
One…
TWO…
THRKICKOUT!!! JA almost stole it from Shane there!!
DM: JA on the attack again. Takes Shane down there with a forearm uppercut. Off the ropes… Shane catches him.
DT: Headscissors takedown by the Luchador!! He’s starting to feel it as the crowd gets behind him!! JA with a knee to the face of Shane. Picks him up… STANDING DROPKICK!! JA off to the ropes now… LIONSAULT!! The cover… the count…
TWO
THRKICKOUT!! Kickout AGAIN by Steven Shane, and JA is starting to look flustered as he can’t seem to put his opponent away!!
DM: Both men have been putting a lot into these shots tonight - neither one wants to lose.
DT: JA now with Shane backed into the corner. He lifts him up to the top rope, slapping the taste out of his mouth there. Following him up, looks like he’s going for a suplex…WAIT A MINUTE!! AJ CIRRUS JUST SLID IN AND POWERBOMBED JA OFF THE ROPE!! Ken Cloverleaf in now and he pushes Shane to the floor!! What are they doing here?!?!
MN: Takin’ out the trash.
DT: Cloverleaf over to Shane on the outside, whips him into the steel steps!! This is not right, these two were putting on a great match.
DM: Cirrus and Cloverleaf beg to differ, obviously.
DT: Cirrus now outside with his partner, stomping away on Shane!! JA’s sliding to the outside, but Cloverleaf cuts him off with a clothesline. Can we get security out here?
DM: Doesn’t look like it. Cirrus picking Shane off the floor, pushing him back into the railings. Cirrus charging in.
DT: STEVEN SHANE JUST ELEVATED HIM OVER ONTO THE CHAIRS AT RINGSIDE!! AJ CIRRUS LANDS BACK FIRST ON THE CHAIRS!! Cloverleaf coming over, attacking Shane again… I think this match has been thrown out.
DM: What was your first clue?
DT: Security FINALLY coming down. Folks, we’ve gotta take a break…when we come back, it’s the big contract signing for the main event at Black Dawn!!
