High Flyer vs. Rocko Daymon


[MUSIC UP:. The crowd buzzing as High Flyer comes out from behind the curtain. He throws his hands up in the ‘devil’s horns’ sign as he makes his way to the ring. His white long tights looking oddly like snow covering his black ring boots.]

TF: The following contest is set for one fall…Introducing first hailing from Los Angeles, California…Weighting in at 204 pounds…HIGH!! FLYER!!

DT: High Flyer making his EPW debut and he hasn’t exactly been giving the kid glove treatment, as he’s facing former EPW World Champion Rocko Daymon.

DM: Daymon I’m sure wants to get back on track and will be looking to ruin the debut of High Flyer here tonight.

[MUSIC UP: “Death is the Communion” by High On Fire. Rocko Daymon makes his way to the ring. Daymon in black ring boots, knee pads, elbow pads, MMA gloves, with a pair of blue jeans cut off at the knees to complete his outfit. The crowd give Daymon a loud pop as he makes his way to the ring.]

TF: And his opponent…From Tacoma Washington….Weighing in at 241 pounds…THE UNDYING!! ROCKO!!! DAYMON!!!

DT: Rocko Daymon getting these fans on their feet here as Aggression 50 continues to build…This has all the makings of a classic contest, the mat wrestling and technical skills of Daymon against…Well the name High Flyer says it all.

MN: Ugh, another jumping flipping moron, at least he doesn’t paint his face

[Bell rings and the match begins.]

DT: The two men lock up and Daymon bullrushes High Flyer into the ropes…Daymon fires off a series of rights and lefts to the chin of High Flyer who slumps against the ropes…Daymon sends him to the ropes and catches High Flyer coming back with a knee to the gut! Daymon quickly grapevines the left leg of High Flyer and is now trying to hyperextend the knee. 

DM: Grounding the High Flying antics…Of well…High Flyer is clearly the game plan of Daymon.

MN: Well he also has that Cloverleaf submission, so it’s not just an anti-High Flyer move, he’s got holds based on busting up people’s legs.

DT: High Flyer scooting his way towards the ropes, and he gets there and forces a break…Daymon backs off for a moment…HIGH FLYER WITH A TACKLE AND NOW HE’S PUNCHING AWAY AT DAYMON! 

DM: High Flyer just exploded off those ropes and caught Daymon off guard, and now he’s beating the daylights out of him.

MN: Daymon might be undying, but he’s not invulnerable!

DT: Mike Neely will be here all week folks…High Flyer gets Daymon back to his feet and connects with a kick to the gut and then BLASTS Daymon with an Enzuiguri! Daymon staggers and drops to his knees…HIGH FLYER OFF THE ROPES WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHIN! A quick cover!

ONE!!

TWO!!

NO!!

DT: Daymon powers out at 2.

DM: High Flyer just trying to catch Rocko Daymon napping there, I think he knows he’s going to need to do a lot more damage than that to win this match.

MN: Hey, three seconds is three seconds, if somebody doesn’t kick out, you take it and get out of town.

DT: High Flyer locks in a chinlock on Daymon, who wastes little time muscling his way to his feet…Daymon with an elbow and another shot to the mid-section gets High Flyer to break the hold…Daymon quickly off the ropes…JUST RUNS HIGH FLYER OVER WITH A SHOULDER BLOCK…Daymon gets Flyer back to his feet, elevates him…BIG TIME SUPLEX! Daymon with a cover!

ONE!!

TWO!!

NO!!

DT: Flyer throws a shoulder out at two…Daymon quickly into a spinning toe hold putting pressure on the knee of High Flyer. 

DM: Daymon back to the plan of grounding his opponent, and as Neely said this also sets up for the Tacoma Cloverleaf.

MN: See I’m full of insightful commentary, I only clown around because you two really are not worth the effort to educate about the finer points of this sport.

DT: Such as blind hero worship of Sean Stevens and Anthology?

MN: Yes exactly that!

DT: Oh brother, High Flyer grabbing at Daymon, trying to get him off balance….Daymon now trying to turn the spinning toe hold into a figure four…But High Flyer pulls him over into a small package!

ONE!!

TWO!!

NO! 

DT: Only two, Daymon quickly out of that and both men rush to their feet.

DM: That wasn’t so much a pin attempt by High Flyer as it was a way to break that spinning toe hold from Rocko Daymon.

DT: The two men back up and they lock up again. This time High Flyer gets a wrist lock and fires in a quick series of kicks to the ribs of Daymon. Daymon doubles over and High Flyer quickly to the ropes…JUMPING SCISSORS KICK FLOORS DAYMON! High Flyer with the cover!

ONE!!

TWO!!

NO!!

DT: Daymon not finished yet. High Flyer not giving up on offense, driving a couple kicks into the gut of Daymon before dropping an elbow and another elbow. Flyer going to the outside now, getting into his element on the ropes…He’s up top waiting on Daymon…MISSILE DROPKICK RIGHT ON THE CHIN! Flyer with a cover!

ONE!!

TWO!!

TH—NO!!

DT: Flyer is stunned as Daymon lives to fight on. High Flyer gets back to his feet, is measuring Daymon as he gets up…SPINNING HEEL KICK! DAYMON DUCKS! Flyer hits nothing but the mat…Flyer gets up…GETS BLASTED TO THE MAT WITH A BRUTAL CLOTHESLINE FROM DAYMON! Both men down!

DM: Daymon clearly can still pack a lot of power, and that clothesline and its effect on High Flyer is a tribute to that.

MN: Yeah Rocko has been in a bunch of wars, there’s no denying that…He knows how to crack somebody when the moment calls for it.

DT: Daymon beats High Flyer to his feet…Daymon now catches Flyer with a kick to the leg, and another one…Flyer trying to keep his distance from these strikes and Rocko just charges him and pushes him into the corner. Daymon now firing away with rights and lefts into the ribs of High Flyer, trying to sap the energy of his opponent.

DM: Daymon’s whole plan for this match seems to be a grind it out style of offense, he wants to take this match to maybe 10-15 minutes and really wear down his opponent.

MN: Well this is Aggression 50 so I’m sure the network will give us a little leeway on the ending time…and I can always put in for overtime

DT: Daymon’s plan doesn’t factor in your pay Neely. At least I’d hope not, Daymon now whips High Flyer into the corner…Flyer does a flip in the corner and lands back into the ring…Daymon charges with a clothesline…High Flyer ducks and catches Daymon with a back elbow. Daymon rocked back into the corner and High Flyer whips him to the other corner. Daymon hits hard and staggers out…INTO A BULLDOG! HIGH FLYER WITH A COVER!

ONE!!

TWO!!

NO!!

DT: Daymon again powering out. High Flyer gets a chinlock and this time Daymon isn’t rushing to his feet.

DM: As this match goes on, both men are trying to wear the other down, Daymon with striking and submission attempts to the legs of High Flyer, High Flyer keeping up his high impact attack and whenever he can, he keeps himself on top of Daymon trying to make the bigger man spend energy to get to his feet.

MN: But Flyer can’t keep him down, and how many tricks does Flyer really have up his sleeve? 

DT: Daymon fights back up…High Flyer jumps up, he’s on Daymon’s shoulders…VICTORY ROLL BY HIGH FLYER!

ONE!!

TWO!!

THR-NO!!

DT: Oh that was so close, High Flyer nearly pulled the match out right there!

MN: I guess that was a trick he had…Too bad for him it didn’t work.

DT: High Flyer back to the attack with punches to the chin of Daymon. Rocko staggering and High Flyer sends him to the ropes…BIG BACKDROP! High Flyer now going back up top…He’s got Daymon lined up…FIVE AND A HALF STAR FROG SPLASH!! NOBODY HOME!! 

MN: That’s why this jumping flipping crap don’t work, you screw it up and you’re nearly crippled! 

DM: High Flyer went for the big move and he is paying a big price now! 

DT: High Flyer clutching at his stomach as Daymon gets up, and now Daymon looking to lock up the Tacoma Cloverleaf…High Flyer fighting to not get turned over…But he’s trapped now! He’s locked in the hold!

DM: But he’s close to the ropes! Can he get to them?!

MN: This will be the first real test of the guy in EPW, can he survive this hold?

DT: Daymon sees that he’s not in the center of the ring and he’s trying to drag High Flyer more towards the middle…High Flyer trips Daymon as he was moving…Daymon faceplants on the mat, but he’s trying to keep the hold…Daymon trying to get back up…High Flyer rolls to his back…He grabs Daymon in a cradle! 

ONE!!!

TWO!!!

THR—NO!!

DT: Daymon kicks out yet again!

DM: That’s the second time Daymon’s had a submission attempt turned into a pin on him, but I doubt it will stop him from seeking another try.

MN: Daymon’s got a bull in a china shop attitude about things, and if he’s got his mind set to something, he’ll do it. It’s why he and Stalker nearly both ended up dead.

DT: Daymon back to his feet and now he sees High Flyer pulling himself up by the ropes…BIG CLOTHESLINE BY DAYMON TAKES BOTH MEN TO THE OUTSIDE…

DM: While that move clearly did a lot of damage to High Flyer I don’t know if Rocko really wants to try to match moves outside the ring with a maniac like High Flyer, you never know what he’s going to do!

MN: I do, he’ll try to kill himself to be on a highlight reel.

DT: Daymon and High Flyer both back to their feet and Daymon BASHES Flyer’s face into the railing. High Flyer staggers away and Rocko now bounces Flyer’s face off the STEEL ring post! Flyer is on dream street as Daymon grabs him and whips him into the ringsteps…NO! HIGH FLYER WITH A REVERSAL AND DAYMON CRASHES INTO THE STEPS SHOULDER FIRST! 

DM: That was a lot of impact on that move, and those steps didn’t give at all!

DT: High Flyer rolls into the ring at 7…Daymon still on the floor right now, that arm that hit the steps is limp by his side (Eight!) Daymon trying to shake it off…I don’t think he knows the count is so high!

DM: We’re at nine, and I don’t think High Flyer would want this match to end this way either but he’s laying on the mat trying to get his head clear also!!

DT: TEN! It’s a countout win for High Flyer! [Bell rings, crowd sort of stunned, some boo] well that was a kind of unfortunate ending for what was building up to be a really amazing match between these two men.

DM: I think Rocko Daymon just figured out what happened and he’s none too pleased about it! 

DT: Daymon yelling at the ref, who’s telling him he had no choice but to count…EPW training staff now coming out trying to check on that shoulder of Daymon’s but he waves them off with his good arm and is walking to the back now…He still hasn’t moved that left arm at all since he hit those steps.

DM: That shoulder could be separated or broken, who knows what could have happened…

TF: Ladies and Gentleman your winner of the contest as a result of a count out…HIGH FLYER!!

[“Flyentology” by El-P hits on the PA, High Flyer in the ring looks a bit confused as to this turn of events, he lets the ref raise his hand but then quickly hops out of the ring.]

DT: High Flyer with the win here, but I’m sure he’d have wanted it to have come under different circumstances. 

MN: Oh whatever on that, he had a successful debut, he should be thankful! 

DT: If we get any word on the extent of Rocko Daymon’s shoulder injury we’ll be sure to pass it along. And we’ll be right back!
