THRNOOOOO!!!! John Doe is getting slaughtered but he keeps getting up!

MN: Holy hell, maybe that “Path” bull is working.

DM: I’ll say.

DT: Brown continuing this relentless assault here. He has Doe up...CRADLE PILEDRIVER!!! Brown has this match in control! He’s signaling that he wants to finish this one off!

DM: Here comes the Bite!

DT: Brown hooks the head...DRAGO-NOOOOOOO!!!!! Doe slips out, off the ropes he comes, big diving chop! Brown is felled! Both men up...SUPERKICK from John Doe!!! Out of absolutely nowhere John Doe has come back!!!

MN: SuperDoe? Ehhhhhhh....maybe not.

DT: Doe is a house afire right now! Up comes Brown, and Doe lays into him with rights and lefts! Brown on the stagger, and Doe drops him with a crossbody block! The pin...

ONE...

TWO...

Brown kicks out with time to spare!!

DM: Brown’s assault took a lot out of Doe, and he’s gonna have to find a major second wind to keep this current offensive up.

DT: Doe pulls his opponent to his feet, kick to the solar plexus, and a quick DDT! Now it’s Doe’s turn to wear out Karl Brown! He brings him back to his feet, hooks in the standing headscissors...SITOUT POWERBOMB!!!! The count...

ONE...

TWO...

THREEEEEE!!!! NOOOOOO!!!! Brown got the shoulder up! These two men are pulling out all stops here on Pay Per View at Wrestleverse I!!! Doe looks to have caught fire here, and he HITS the Russian Leg Sweep on Brown! Doe now...SCORPION DEATHLOCK!!! You KNOW he learned this one from Troy Douglas!

DM: Douglas learned this move by watching his boyhood hero, Hornet, and Doe is emulating his mentor.

MN: Hey, and Douglas got the Dragon with this very move at Unleashed. Right?

DT: Right you are, Mike. Doe is pulling back on those legs, putting a ton of pressure on the back of Karl Brown right now. This hold has put away more championship victories than anything else in this business, and Doe is trying to use its historical effectives to his advantage right now.

MN: He’ll blow it, you watch it.

DT: Doe continues to have the Scorpion locked in but Brown is fighting hard and...he...BREAKS THE HOLD!!! A furious kick from the Dragon breaks John Doe’s hold, and Doe can’t believe it! He is storming around the ring and...SCHOOLBOY FROM BROWN!!!!

ONE...

TWO...

THREEEE!!! NOOOOOO!!! NO!!!! John Doe slipped out at the very last moment! Everyone in the arena thought that this match was finished! Both men are up...AMNESIA ATTACK!!!! Doe hit the Amnesia Attack out of nowhere!!!

DM: That’s the big thing about this move, along with being debilitating, can be done at any point in the match from any position, and...what the hell is this idiot doing?

MN: HA! The Dwarf is gonna blow it again!

DT: Doe has Karl Brown down and out, but he’s bringing him to the corner! He sets up on the second rope and...yes...he’s calling for the End of the Road! That’s his mentor’s patented finisher!!!

DM: Let’s see if Doe can execute a move that has put away many of the best in the industry.

DT: Doe sets it up...and Brown hits a low blow!! Doe crumples to the mat in obvious pain, and now Brown is perched on the top rope.

MN: The Dragon is gonna fly!

DT: From the top...MOONSAULT!!!! Karl Brown hit the moonsault on the prone John Doe!!! Lateral press...

ONE...

TWO...

THRRRRRRRRRRNOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! John Doe picked up that right shoulder from the mat at the last second possible!!! This kid absolutely REFUSES to go down!

MN: Just like Megatron, he is. Doesn’t know when the hell to give it up.

DT: Brown is absolutely livid right now, and he’s started stomping a ditch in John Doe’s midsection. Just look at the blunt impact of those boots from the Nottingham, England native on John’s ribcage!

DM: Well, if he can’t pin Doe, it’ll help to collapse one of his lungs and just put a finger on him for a pin.

MN: Doe might have to go to a hospital? YAAAAAAAHOOOOOO!!!!!

DT: Brown drags Doe to his feet...Double Arm DDT!!!! Back up again, and Karl Brown locks in the Dragon Sleeper!

DM: Nobody does this move as well as Karl Brown. He cuts off the air flow and puts pressure on the shoulders and back. Plus, he can transition this right into the Bite, which almost always puts a man away.

DT: John Doe is trying to fight this, but his knees are coming closer and closer to falling to the ground. Referee David Rosenkrantz is coming over to check on Doe, and Brown is calling for the official to look for the submission. He raises the arm..

FALLS ONCE...

FALLS TWICE...

FALLS THRRRRNOOOOOOO!!!! Doe holds that left hand up just inches before it hit the mat!!!! What a display of courage from this kid! He’s fought back from impossible odds in this match, and it is NOT over yet!

MN: I’ll even admit that Doe’s impressing me tonight. He’s still a moron, but he shouldn’t be standing anymore.

DT: Brown is in shock right now, and he’s going for the Dragon’s Bite now! He hooks the head and...Doe shoves him away!!!! Brown tumbles to the outside!!! How is John Doe doing all of this?

DM: Sheer will, Dave. His training has obviously had some effect on him.

DT: Here’s Doe, looking for the high risk maneuver...SOMERSAULT PLANCHA!!! Doe hits a huge move, but both men are down outside the ring!!!

MN: If this ends in a double countout, I’m filing an official protest!

DT: Rosenkrantz is counting...

FOUR...

FIVE...

SIX...

SEVEN...

EIGHT...

Doe rolls in and breaks the count!!! Back out he goes, and he tosses Karl back into the squared circle. Brown staggers to his feet. Doe...AMNESIA ATTACK...MISS!!! Brown...SUPERKICK...NOBODY HOME!!!! He spins around...boot to the gut by Doe...FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX!!!! The bridge...

ONE...

TWO...

KICKOUT!!!! Oh so close yet again!!!

DM: These two are going toe-to-toe for every inch and this is an absolutely amazing display. Both guys are really letting everything hang out here at Wrestleverse.

MN: Everything hang out? I didn’t know you swing that way, Matthews.

DT & DM: SHUT UP, MIKE!!!

MN: Meep.

DT: Doe looking to keep the momentum flowing here. He whips Brown into the corner...SPLASH!!! On the rebound...BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX!!!! Doe’s signaling for the end again! He wants the Scorpion one more time!!!

DM: He locks this move in and this is OH-VAH.

DT: Doe looking to lock the hold in and...BROWN SHOVES HIM AWAY!!! Doe hits the turnbuckle with his shoulder! Staggering back...DRAGON SUPLEX!!!! The pin...

ONE...

TWO...

THRRRRKICKOOOOUUUUTTT!!!!! Doe slipped out once again!!! Both of these men are completely gassed, but they’re still going strong! Brown grabs Doe...SNAP SUPLEX!!! Brown picks him up, and he’s calling for the Bite! Can he get it?

MN: If he does, that HAS to finish this.

DT: Brown lifts him up...DOE FLOATS OVER!!! What athleticism!! Brown turns around...AMNESIA ATTACK!!! HE HIT THAT ONE WITH FULL FORCE!!! THIS MATCH IS FINISHED!!!

DM: Doe doesn’t have the energy to pin!

DT: This is completely unreal, folks. John Doe just took Karl Brown down with an Amnesia Attack, but he can’t crawl over to get the pin. Both men beginning to stir now...Doe is up first and grabbing Brown. Irish whip into the corner...AMNESIA ATTACK AGAAAAAAAANOOOOOO!!!! Brown ducks and Doe eats turnbuckle!

DM: Wow. Just wow.

DT: Doe wobbles around, Brown is finally aware of it! Hooks the head...DRAGON’S BITE!!!! YESSSSSSS!!! HE FINALLY GOT IT!!! The pin...

ONE...

TWO...

THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! THAT ONE DID IT!!!

[SFX: *DING* - Bell rings.]

TONY FATORA: The winner of the match via pinfall...KAAAAAARRRRRRRRLLLL “THE DRAGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNN” BROOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!

MN: WHAT A MATCH!

DM: I do NOT believe what these two just did.

DT: Karl Brown and John Doe just put each other through hell, and the Dragon was able to outlast the youngster. But, despite the result, John Doe has NOTHING to be ashamed of tonight. The Dragon and Doe brought their A-Games, and this was spectacular.

DM: Word to that, my man. Word to that.


[The camera’s follow Karl back to the locker room. As he enters, he spots someone familiar standing there; his former trainer, Shinji]

Shinji: Good match tonight, Karl.

Karl: Get out of here. Now.

Shinji: Please, reconsider. The path you are on is not the right one for you.

Karl: Out. Now.

[With that, Karl pushes Shinji out of the door, slamming it in his face, the frame shaking from the force. Shinji looks at the door dejectedly, pausing for several seconds, before muttering something under his breath, and walking away.]
