DT: Well fellas, so much for Tariq Ismail.
DM: I guess the boss doesn’t like shoes.
DT: Well, wrestling fans, next up is the second half of the quest to reach the Television Title match. Foxx vs Priest vs Kin Hiroshi. I expect this to be one hell of a fight.
MN: Fight? You have to be joking. Priest has this one wrapped up. He’ll need something wrapped, for sure, wrestling someone like Foxx.
DT: I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear that. Foxx is small but has a lot of fire in her. Don’t count her or Kin Hiroshi out of this one, Mike.
DM: You know that Neely doesn’t care one way or another what I think, but my money’s on Hiroshi. “The Japanese Thunder” knows all about wrestling multiple matches on the same night.
DT: ….and with Adam Benjamin waiting in the wings for the winner, maybe Hiroshi is the perfect candidate.
[“Angelwitch” by Angelwitch blares over the EPW sound system. The crowd
erupts as Foxx appears through the curtains. With hands raised in the air,
she welcomes the cheers of her fans. She makes her way down to ringside and
enters through the middle ropes. The ring announcer speaks.]
TF: Standing five feet nine inches tall and weighing in at 134 pounds, she hails from San Antonio, Texas. FOXX!
[The crowd pops again and dies quickly, anticipating the next participant.]
[“I Am the Bullgod” by Kid Rock blares as Priest exits the curtains. Mostly boos are audible as he and his manager Eisenkreuz follows him to the ring. He is slow to enter the ring as the announcer speaks.]
TF: Her first opponent, accompanied to the ring by his manager, Eisenkreuz, stands six feet tall and weighs in at 248 pounds. He hails from Detroit Rock City. He is. PRIEST!
[Again a chorus of boos.Priest is seen mouthing something in the direction of Foxx, but it is inaudible.]
[“Sigillum Diaboli” by H.I.M blares as Kin Hiroshi makes his way to the ring. The crowd shows a lot of support for him as he calmly makes his way to ringside. Grabbing the top rope, Hiroshi leaps over and into the ring. He bounces up and down a few times, attempting to warm up before the match.]
TF: The third and final participant in this three-way for the right to wrestle for the EPW Television Title stands six feet tall and weighs in at 235 pounds. He hails from Tokyo, Japan and is known to wrestling fans everywhere as “The Japanese Thunder”. KIN HIROSHI!
[Crowd pops for Hiroshi and anxiously anticipates the start of the match.]
DT: The bell just sounded and the match is underway. All three participants not looking to make the first move as they stare each other down.
MN: If mind games are what they are each looking to play with each other, then Priest will get the better of the opening exchanges.
DT: As if right on cue, Priest is talking to Foxx yet again. You can see the anger boiling inside of her. She jumps onto Priest! Rights and lefts as she hammers away on his face. Hiroshi just standing there watching as Priest staggers backwards.
MN:Not a bright move from a not so bright person. Foxx has all that fire in her because she can’t get nothing else to fill.
DM: Priest is in the corner. He bounces off the off and. SPINEBUSTER! You can thank me later for actually following the match, Neely.
MN: I don’t know what you’re talking about.
DT:Priest leads Foxx up by the hair only to have both of them double clotheslined over the top rope. The ref doesn’t say anything and Priest and Foxx are still on the outside rolling around.
DM:Hiroshi may have a good game plan right now, but he better stay away from those high impact moves he’s known to perform. But, here he goes. so early in the match and with the upperhand, no less. He’s climbing the ropes. Both Foxx and Priest are on their feet.
DT: I agree. Not a smart move at all. FLYING BODYPRESS! All three wrestlers are down, and it looks like it paid off for him this time.
DM:Yeah, this time. But look. he’s hurting, too.
MN: Wasabe looked like he banged his knee up a little on that move.
DM:Wasabe? Clever Neely. Just clever.
DT: Hiroshi not wasting anytime as he picks up the person he feels is the weakest. He’s got Foxx and rolls her into the ring. He has her in a headlock. DDT! Could he have her right here? The count.

KICKOUT!
MN: She won’t be down for the count until Priest decides she’s down for the count.
DM:Speaking of Priest, where is he?
MN: You don’t worry about him. He’ll be back in the ring before you know it.
DM:No, seriously. I don’t see the guy anywhere.
DT: Kin Hiroshi dropped a couple of quick elbow drops and is once again climbing the ropes. WAIT! Out of nowhere, Priest jumps Hiroshi from behind and hits him behinds the legs. Hiroshi now sitting straddle on the top turnbuckle. Priest with climbing to meet him and. TORNADO DDT! From the top rope. can you believe that?
DM:It’s always a roll of the dice with those high risk maneuvers. Hiroshi paid and now he’s leveled with the rest of the competition.
DT: Foxx was climbing the ropes on the opposite side. She looks behind her to gage where she’s going. FROG SPLASH! She frog splashed Hiroshi from halfway across the ring. Absolutely amazing!
DM:Amazingly stupid. Priest is already up and ready for Foxx. He’s stomping away on the back of her head.
DT: If Priest wasn’t there, this could very easily be a win for Foxx.
DM:She’s showing she’s tough. Maybe Lindsay Troy has some more female competition.
MN: Girl on girl. just the way I like it, especially when I make three.
DM:Don’t these jokes get old? I mean, even for you, Lame Neely?
DT: Priest whipping Foxx into the ropes. on her way back. SPEAR! Priest quickly picks her up. FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX! He goes for the cover!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another amazing kickout by the 134 pound Texas girl.
MN: Priest is just playing with her right now. Trust me.
DM:Famous last words.
DT: Hiroshi and Priest slugging it out at the ropes. Hiroshi gaining the upperhand.
DM:Watch Foxx! She’s starting to pick herself up awfully quickly.
DT: Hiroshi leans back for a hard right hand.
DM:Foxx bouncing off the ropes.
DT: Foxx from behind! She hit’s Hiroshi, who slams into Priest. Priest is through the middle of the ropes. He’s tangled up!
Foxx rolls Hiroshi up!
