MN: If I can clarify on something brought up last week, that goofus maximus does NOT have a contract with Empire Pro Wrestling! He is trespassing, and has no right to be here! 

DM: Maybe, but if I know this guy's reputation, there's a got to be some kind of method to his madness. James Irish doesn't just clown around for the hell of it... most of the time, anyway. 

DT: Regardless, we have another match on our hands here... 

MN: I’m startin’ to like that James Irish. 

DT: Triple threat action just about to get under way here with three relative newcomers to Empire Pro. It should be interesting to see how they go at this match, because you’ve got to know Dan Ryan will be watching and this one match could determine so much for the future of each man. 

DM: From the way things are going, it could be the only way Scott gets a message to Ryan, depending on how that meeting went earlier. 

DT: None of these three looks ready to make the first move – all of them very wary here as the bell sounds. 

DM: Triple threat matches are difficult to plan for, because you’ve always got one other guy who can break up pin-falls or attack you whilst your back is turned. You’ve got to take out both men before you can expect a pinfall. 

DT: All three men glancing from one to the other… and Mike Evers breaks the standoff with a running dropkick to the face of the Sergeant! Frankie Scott coming in, but he’s met with a dropkick to the face!! Mike Evers now with The Sergeant up, sends him off the ropes and a stinging right to the gut as Sergeant flips over! 

DM: No wonder these fans cheer for him. 

MN: He’s common like all of them. They have a common bond. 

DT: Frankie Scott coming in again, but he’s met with a quick right to the head, and sent into the corner now. Mike Evers picking up the Sergeant, Irish whip into the corner, but Scott moves out of the way, avoiding the impact. Moving across the ring, but he’s forced to the outside there by the running knee-lift of Mike Evers! Evers firmly in control in the early going of this match! 

DM: Evers is certainly having it his own way as he shouts at the crowd, but The Sergeant with the school-boy. 

DT: TWO!! 

No!! Kickout there quickly by Evers, but the Sergeant meets him with a clothesline. Another cover, and another quick kickout by Evers. Both men up quickly, and Sergeant with a go behind, trying for the crucifix… NO! BIG Samoan drop there by Mike Evers, but Frankie Scott in to break up the count before the referee can even get into position! 

DM: You need eyes in the back of your head in matches like this. 

DT: Frankie Scott now picking up Mike Evers, and a side headlock applied. Evers though quickly trying to push him off the ropes, but Scott keeps the pressure applied. With his experience, and the fact he’s trying desperately to find Dan Ryan, you’ve got to think Scott might have the advantage. 

DM: In a triple threat, there is really no favourite – you could be a total rookie against two veterans, and so long as you can catch a lucky break after a finisher or two, you can pick up the win. 

MN: Besides, if he hasn’t found da boss by now, he can’t be all that good. 

DT: I’ve no idea what that’s got to do with the match, but Scott still with the side headlock applied. Evers again trying to push him off the ropes, but here comes Sergeant with a boot to the ribs of Evers. Maybe some double teaming here after the initial flourish against both men from Evers earlier, Dean? 

DM: Could be, it would make sense. Get rid of one man and you can fight it out amongst yourselves, and these two have had some classic matches here in Empire Pro. 

DT: Scott now with a clubbing forearm to the back of Evers, as he and Sergeant put the boots in. Both men picking up Mike Evers, Irish Whip off the ropes and a HUGE double back-body drop there! 

DM: Both men working together well here, as Scott picks Evers up and holds him in a full nelson as Sergeant scores a hard right hand. 

DT: Scott releases the hold, sends Evers into the corner BACKSLIDE BY SERGEANT!! ONE!! 

TWO!! 

NEARLY the three count there on Frankie Scott as The Sergeant ends the alliance with a backslide! Scott up first, and taken down with a drop-toe-hold! Frankie Scott up again, but he’s met with a hard shot to the head. Another, and a kick to the gut. Sending him off the ropes… BIG hip toss followed by a legdrop. The cover, 

TWO!! 

Mike Evers there to break up the count. Evers with a slam there on Sergeant, picking him up again and a NICE snap suplex there!! The cover… 

Kickout before the two there by Sergeant, as Frankie Scott has rolled to the outside. Mike Evers now starting to build some momentum, has Sergeant up again, and down with an armdrag, going for a top wrist lock here now. GREAT technical skills from a firm fan favourite in Mike Evers here tonight. 

MN: He’s not the best we’ve got. 

DT: I didn’t say he was the best technical wrestler on the roster, but he’s certainly got a lot of talent in that area. 

MN: Luck you mean. 

DT: OK, who’s paid you this week? 

MN: No-one, Burger-boy. 

DT: For the last time… I am not that Dave Thomas. 

MN: Suuuure. I ordered my fries an hour ago, get to it! 

DM: Sergeant getting to his feet. 

DT: I… am… not… WOAH!! HUGE DISPLAY OF RAW POWER THERE BY SEREANT, PICKING MIKE EVERS UP WHILST STILL IN THE WRISTLOCK!! 

DM: Mike Evers can’t believe it! The Sergeant with him up in mid-air, moving near the ropes. 

DT: AND HE THROWS HIM DOWN TO THE OUTSIDE!! The crowd are REALLY showing their appreciation for that move, as Frankie Scott comes back in and takes Sergeant down with a bulldog. 

One… 

TWO 

THR NO!! Kickout at two and a half there by Sergeant as Frankie Scott took advantage of the situation to score a powerful bulldog takedown there. 

DM: What Sergeant did was impressive, but it does take a lot out of you. You saw him trying to catch his breath, which is something you can’t find much time for in a triple threat match. 

DT: Frankie Scott with Sergeant up now, sending him off the ropes and a sidewalk slam connects there! Another cover 

TWO!! 

NO!! Kickout there again by Sergeant, as Mike Evers is still down on the outside after that fall. Frankie Scott with Sergeant in an armbar now, bending back the elbow against the knee there. 

DM: He’s looking to hyper-extend the elbow there, but this move has the added benefit, or if your in Sergeant’s position, problem, that it pulls at the pectoral muscle as well. 

DT: Sergeant shaking his head as the referee asks him if he wants to give it up, trying to get to his feet, but Scott with an elbow to the ribs there and back to the hold! 

DM: And if you look at the ring positioning, not only is he in the middle of the ring, he’s also facing where Sergeant threw Evers earlier, so if he manages to scrape himself off the floor, he won’t get the element of surprise. 

DT: Sergeant again trying to get to his feet, but Scott with another elbow. He lays him out, going for the cover, but a kickout after two there. Frankie Scott really working over Sergeant now, as he picks him up and just buries the knee right into the gut. Irish whip off the ropes, reversed, but Scott comes off with a high cross body! 

TWO!! 

THRKICKOUT!! And Frankie Scott looks irritated at that, as he picks up Sergeant and throws him out between the ropes! 

DM: Well, there are no count-outs in a triple threat match, but he’s got to be careful not to get disqualified and give the match to Sergeant. 

DT: Frankie Scott with the Sergeant now by the hair, and sends him crashing into the barrier! Mike Evers trying to get back into the ring, as Frankie Scott hooks the head of The Sergeant… DDT ON THE FLOOR!! Frankie Scott shouting at some fans as he tries to drag Sergeant to his feet, as HOLY CRAP!! PLANCHA BY MIKE EVERS ONTO SERGEANT AND SCOTT!! 

DM: The crowd going WILD as Mike Evers uses the ropes to slingshot himself down onto Scott and Sergeant! From up here, it looked like Scott took the brunt of the impact as Sergeant still hadn’t gotten quite to his feet. 

DT: All three men slow to get to their feet. Mike Evers is the first up, but he looks like he’s hurt his knee. Rolling back into the ring now, he’s pulling himself up by the rope, but The Sergeant’s quickly in after him. Hard kick to the gut by the ex-soldier, and a gutwrench suplex!! 

ONE!! 

TWO!! 

NO!!! Mike Evers shooting the shoulder up at the two there, as the Sergeant now targeting the left knee of Evers, driving it hard to the canvas before dropping the elbow on the inside! 

MN: There are three lessons at the Cobra dojo. Lesson one – a man can’t walk, he can’t fight. 

DT: Wise words from the Karate Kid films there, as Mike Evers is screaming in pain from a leg-lock now. Frankie Scott getting back to his feet on the inside, but he’s looking groggy as Sergeant applies the pressure to Evers. 

DM: Evers is trying to reach for the rope, but he’s a long way away. That gut-wrench didn’t take Evers as close to the ropes as a vertical suplex would have done, so it was a brilliant choice by Sergeant. 

DT: Still applying the pressure, but Scott’s in to break up the hold! Mike Evers was in a lot of pain there, I don’t think it would have been much longer before he’d’ve had to have submitted to save himself. 

DM: Frankie Scott now with the Sergeant up, but Sergeant with a hard right hand. Scott retaliates, but Sergeant hits him again! 

DT: Scott tries to retaliate, but it’s blocked!! Sergeant with the right hand, and another one, and an Irish whip off the far side… BIG back elbow. The Sergeant now picking Scott up, front face lock, looking for a suplex here. 

MN: What’s Evers doing? 

DT: Evers off the ropes as Scott’s blocking the suplex… OH MY GOD!! 

DM: VERY IMPRESSIVE! 

DT: Evers with the cover, 

TWO!! 

NO!! KICKOUT BY SERGEANT AFTER THAT MOVE!! 

DM: Can we get a replay? 

[cutto: split-screen. On the right is live action, and on the left the replay. We see Sergeant setting up Frankie Scott for a vertical suplex attempt, but Scott blocks it. Mike Evers, groggily getting to his feet, spots this, and comes off the ropes, pushing off of Scott’s back to get the lift needed to clear both men, and comes down with a sunset flip on Sergeant, who meanwhile manages to hit the suplex on Scott! End of split screen] 

DT: How do you call a move like that? 

DM: You don’t. All three men have been highly impressive here tonight, as Sergeant is the first to his feet, quickly followed by Mike Evers. Both men slugging it out, but a thumb to the eye by Sergeant stops Evers. Evers backed against the ropes, and a hard chop by the Sergeant. 

DT: Frankie Scott up now, charging in… CLOTHESLINE ON EVERS!! Sergeant moved out of the way, and Mike Evers is sent crashing over the top rope! Scott turns around… IMPLANT DDT!! HUGE move by Sergeant… 

One… 

TWO… THRENO!! NO, NO NO. Frankie Scott BARELY gets the shoulder up there!! Sergeant with a head of steam here, sends Scott into the corner… HORNET SPLASH!! Grabs Scott by the head… BULLDOG HEADLOCK!! Sergeant is really starting to feel it now, as he picks up Scott again… hoists him onto the shoulder BUT SCOTT SLIPS OUT!! 

DM: Frankie Scott with the Sergeant, sends him off the ropes OUCH!!! 

MN: REF BUMPAGE!! 

DT: The referee got out of position there, and Scott just sent the Sergeant straight into him! The referee’s down, as Mike Evers now crawling back into the ring… WAIT A MINUTE!! ADAM BENJAMIN JUST PULLED HIM BACK TO THE OUTSIDE!! WHAT THE HELL’S HE DOING HERE?!? 

MN: Big Daddy English In Da House!! 

DT: Adam Benjamin firing away with right hands on Mike Evers!! A scoop slam now… SHINING WIZARD ON THE OUTSIDE!! MIKE EVERS IS OUT COLD!! 

DM: And the fans are REALLY letting Benjamin have it as he walks back up the aisle with a smirk on his face. 

DT: Back in the ring, Scott’s in control. Irish whip into the corner, charging in BUT SERGEANT GETS OUT OF THE WAY!! Frankie Scott just went STRAIGHT into the corner! Sergeant has him by the head now, climbing the turnbuckle… DIAMOND DUST!! THAT FLIPPING STUNNER FROM THE CORNER CONNECTED!! There’s the cover 

MN: No ref. 

DT: One, two, three, four, five… Sergeant has this match won, but there’s not referee!! He’s broken the cover, going to check on him now. What’s Scott doing? 

DM: Putting something on his hand by the looks of it. 

MN: He’s just checking he hasn’t broken any bones. 

DT: Sergeant leaving the ref, who’s starting to stir now. Goes over to Scott AND THE RIGHT HAND!! SERGEANT IS DOWN!! What the hell?!? SCOTT JUST THREW SOMETHING TO THE OUTSIDE!! MAKING THE COVER… 

ONE!!! 

TWO!!!! 

THREE!!!!! FRANKIE SCOTT HAS WON IT!! 

[sfx: dingdingdingding] 

TONY FATORA: Th’ winner of this match… PHENOMENAL… FFFFFFFFFRRRRRRRRAAAAAANNNNNNKKKKKKIIIIIIIEEEEEE…S SSSSSSSSSCCCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOOTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!! 

DT: Frankie Scott wins this one with a knockout punch, but what did he throw to the outside? 

[Cut to: a shot of the ringside area, as a camera gets a glimpse of a set of brass knuckles laying up against the barrier on the mat]
