DT: Folks, we’re just over halfway through what is already promising to be one hell of a night here on Empire Pro Aggression!

DM: And there’s really not much more to say than that, Dave. We’ve seen some outstanding wrestling here tonight, including the Television Title match we just saw as Mike Evers successfully defended his new title for the very first time.

DT: Certainly doesn’t get much better than this, but I’m certain we’re not quite done yet.

["Patiently Waiting" begins blaring over the PA system as fireworks began to blast, in the shape of an X, with the loud boom commanding the fans' attention. “Triple X” Sean Stevens steps through the curtain, immediately raising his arms in the air.]

[Massive Heat]

TF: Ladies and gentlemen!the following contest is set for one fall! Introducing first, weighing in at two hundred sixty-seven pounds!from Orlando, Florida! "Triple X" Seaaaaaaannnnnn Steeeeeeeveeennnnnssss!!

[Trip walks down to the ring, and slides in, running to the nearest turnbuckle, raising his arms in an “X” in the air. "Triiiiiiiipal Eccckkks" begins to form. As his music slowly comes to an end, he hops down, turning to face the task before him.]

DM: These fans certainly are not that big on “Triple X” Sean Stevens here.

MN: That’s because they’re idiots, Matthews. Did you hear the way they were cheering Mike Evers a few minutes ago?

DT: Well, like him or not, Sean Stevens has certainly had a very nice debut here in EPW. He was in a match for the EPW World Title in no time!

MN: You know, personally, I like him.

DT: I know that you do, Neels. You’ll probably be blowing smoke up his rear this whole match. It’s the fans that don’t like him.

MN: Thomas! I can’t believe you’d say such a thing on television! And I don’t know what you’re getting at with the whole smoke thing, but if you’re saying that I’m picking Sean Stevens to win this match, then you are correct, my friend.

DT: As I had suspected!

"I'll Drink to You" by Duke Jupiter blares, and James emerges from the back with Erin Flanagan right behind him.

TF: And his opponent!weighing in at two hundred forty-five pounds!from Fredonia, New York! JAAAAAAAMMMEESSSS IIIIIIIIRRRISSSSHHHHH!!!!

[HUGE crowd pop.]

James raises his hand and acknowledges them, giving high fives because he's in a good mood. No fancy lights, no pyro, no smoke, nothing fancy. He just simply makes his way down to the ring.

DM: Well fans, we are about to see the Empire Pro Aggression debut of James Irish. If you haven’t seen James anywhere else in the wrestling world, you’re in for a treat. This man is a highly decorated champion, and he will no doubt continue that winning attitude here in EPW.

DT: I, too, have had a chance to see some of James’s matches, and I must say there really isn’t a hole in this guy’s game. I’m definitely happy to have him here in Empire Pro.

MN: You know, I’ve never seen this guy, but that could be do to my inability to watch any type of wrestling that isn’t among the elite.

DT: Neels, Irish comes from several VERY elite programs.

MN: Evidently not EPW-caliber.

DT: Well, that remains to be seen.

DM: Mark my words, Dave. James Irish is going to be huge here in EPW, and we’re ready to get that started here tonight.

[DING DING DING]

DT: Well folks, this one should no doubt be good. Both of these men are excellent competitors.

DM: Couldn’t have said it better myself, Dave.

DT: They step to the middle of the ring. And James Irish is going to extend a hand to Sean Stevens here. Nice gesture for a man in his first EPW match.

DM: Oh! But Stevens just slaps Irish across the face! The two are duking it out now, as Irish is not happy with Stevens! Stevens gets the upperhand as he backs Irish into the ropes. There’s an Irish whip. Stevens charges after Irish.

DT: Big swinging neck breaker by Stevens! Sean Stevens is showing James Irish that he isn’t going to take him lightly here at all!

DM: That is very apparent, as Stevens is staying on the attack. He pulls Irish back up to his feet and nails him with several knife-edge chops as he backs the Fredonia native into the corner.

DT: And those chops are ripping through the flesh on James Irish’s chest! We can’t see his chest, but I would venture to guess that it is beet red right about now. Stevens now grabs him by the arm and looks to whip him across the ring.

DM: But Irish reverses! Stevens crashes into the corner. Irish will follow him in here.

DT: And there’s a big Tornado DDT! Irish isn’t going to waste any time here as he wants to inflict the pain on Stevens early and often it would appear!

DM: Irish bounces himself off the near ropes and now comes back to the fallen Stevens.

DT: Big knee drop on the face of Triple X! Irish is going to hook the leg here!

1!

2!

But Stevens kicks out!

MN: And speaking of kicks. How about the kick that Ms. Flanagan packs on the outside of the ring? You think she blindly hands out her phone number like she dresses?

DM: Neels, we’re trying to call a wrestling match here.

MN: And I’m trying to call Erin Flanagan! Do you already have the number? Don’t you lie to me, Matthews!

DT: Back to the action here. Irish is pulling Stevens up to his feet. Irish now nails Stevens with some knife-edge chops of his own. Listen to the crowd “Whoo”-ing along with their apparent favorite here in this match!

DM: They certainly love The Mad Genius of Pro Wrestling here!

DT: Irish has now backed Stevens into the ropes. He whips him across the ring!

DM: Big spinning heel kick that catches Stevens right in the jaw! That move could have very well slowed Triple X enough for Irish to mount a huge offense here.

DT: Irish is not going to slow down for Triple X here. That is very apparent. He reaches down and pulls Stevens up once more. He locks in a front facelock.

DM: Fisherman’s suplex by Irish! He bridges for the pin!

1!

2!

But Stevens kicks out again! James Irish is really showing us something here in his Aggression debut!

DT: And he’s looking to show us more here as he pulls Stevens up yet again. Irish now takes a step back.

DM: Oh my! James Irish launched himself at Sean Stevens, looking for what appeared to be a jump swinging DDT, but Stevens managed to use that extra twenty pounds he has on Irish and just pressed the newcomer off of him! Stevens is down to one knee, but at least he has slowed Irish also!

MN: I believe that was part of the strategy. Let the other guy get his confidence up and then CRUSH him.

DT: You think that’s what it was?

MN: Absolutely. There’s no other way Irish could have kept up with Triple X.

DT: I guess we’ll see, as it appears Stevens is going on the offensive here. He makes his way to Irish and pulls him up. Irish swings a right, but Stevens ducks the blow.

DM: Big German suplex by Stevens for the reversal! Irish bounced off the apron like a super ball!

MN: As I said, Stevens was letting the new guy feel like he could do something here.

DT: Well, he is apparently done doing that, because now he’s heading up to the top rope. Irish is prone in the middle of the ring!

DM: What a frog splash! Sean Stevens could have very well taken the breath out of both of these men with that one move there! He falls back and lands on top of Irish for the pin!

1!

2!

DT: Irish gets the shoulder up, but just barely! Stevens really did a number on him with that move there!

DM: But Stevens is also slow after that move. He’s still barely on his knees here.

MN: It’s called fighting at a hundred percent, Matthews. Stevens is merely keeping himself safe from injury here.

DT: Well, he’s back up again. Irish is also slowly getting to his feet, but it looks to be too late as Stevens is simply waiting on him.

MN: It was too late for Irish before he got in the ring.

DT: Kick to the midsection by Stevens. Standing headscissors.

DM: Big spike piledriver by Stevens! Again, if you’re not familiar with James Irish, you might not know that he suffered a neck injury from somewhat the same move at the hands of the Highland Park Social Club! That could very well end this match!

DT: Well, Irish is down on the mat, and he is clutching the hell out of that neck. We might need some help out here.

DM: But Irish’s pain isn’t slowing Stevens at all.

MN: Of course it’s not. It’s win or go home. Stevens is going to do what it takes to walk out with that win.

DT: Stevens steps to the outside and to the apron. What’s he going to do out there?

DM: Oh my! Stevens clears the top rope with that jump!

DT: But he misses the swan dive as James Irish rolls out of the way! Sean Stevens’s chest just smacked right into the canvas with no remorse! This could be a huge opening for Irish!

DM: But he’s not able to capitalize, because that neck is still smarting from that piledriver. Excellent scouting by Triple X on that one.

DT: Stevens is back up, as he meets Irish, who was still trying to get up.

DM: But Irish catches him with a right to the midsection! Triple X doubles over.

DT: DDT! Irish managed to muster the strength to catch Stevens with a DDT! He’s now back to his feet and ready to get back to business! He’s heading to the outside.

MN: I don’t like this!

DT: Irish ascends to the top rope. Funk #49!

DM: NO! Stevens moved out of the way! Irish just got a butt full of canvas! Now Stevens has a chance to capitalize here!

MN: Way to play opossum, Sean!

DT: Stevens is back up and quickly drills Irish with a boot to the face before picking him back up again.

DM: Kick to the back of the knee! Irish lands on his knees! There’s an inverted facelock by Stevens!

DT: He lifts Irish up for that X-Terminator!

DM: But Irish reverses it into a reverse DDT! Oh my God! He could have snapped Triple X’s neck on that move! What velocity on that move! How did he reverse that?

DT: I have no clue, but both of these men are down now, and this match is as wide open as ever. It’s a race to their feet!

DM: It looks like Irish is going to win this one, but not by far. He walks over to meet the rising Stevens.

DT: There’s a right by Stevens! But Irish fires back! Another by Stevens! And again Irish strikes back! Stevens swings again!

DM: Look out! Irish ducks the blow and locks Stevens in a small package!

1!

2!

3!!!

MN: What?!?!

TF: Ladies and gentlemen, here is your winner! JAAAAAAMMMMESSS IIIIIIIRRRISSSHHH!!!

DT: What a debut for James Irish! He comes in and knocks out a man that just got done with a shot at the EPW World Champion! Excellent match from both men, but Irish is the one that pulls away with the victory here tonight.

DM: Dave, I’m sure that these two aren’t done just yet. A match like that warrants a rematch, and I’ll be proud to call that one for Empire Pro!

DT: Folks, we’ve gotta take a break. Don’t go anywhere! There’s even more action on the way!
