MAIN EVENT: KOTC FINAL: Alexander/Turner (cc) v. Impulse/Stevens v. D. Dickwood Pres.
TF: The following contest is set for one fall, and it is the FINAL of the KINGS OF THE CAGE TOURNAMENT!!
In addition, this contest is for the WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS! If anyone other than the champions wins by pinfall or submission, there will be new champions!
[“When The Going Gets Tough” begins to flow through the arena through the PA system to the brief befuddlement and anger of the crowd. Out from the back storms Dirk Dickwood soaking in the crowd's negative energy with a wide smile on his face. He turns around and points to the entrance way as out from the back trots Cecilworth Farthington, bouncing around like he just slammed a Red Bull moments before the match. He is surrounded by his army of similar shirted and red shorted trainers but looming tall above all of them, his tag team partner, Hank.]
DT: From the Lucky Loser’s position, Dirk Dickwood Presents have been on a real tear!
MN: I really like these guys. Really classy, really talented.
DT: Still trying for a job with him, or is this just respect?
MN: Respect. I’ve not seen the like since the Social Club.
[CUE UP: “The One” by GOOD MUSIC ft. Marsha Ambrose. The crowd pops big as the music fills the arena.]
"THE STORM IS ON THE HORIZON ... I'M STANDING HERE ALONE...."
[Marsha sang, as the EMPIRE-tron. …as several images flash starting with an up-close photo of a blue-eyed baby – crawling, playing football, and basketball … things that babies generally do.
"SEE, I'M A MOTHERFUCKING SOLDIER, AND I'MMA BE HERE 'TIL IT'S DONE."
CUT TO: Several more images. The first was an older Sean Stevens, in amateur wrestling gear; in a cap and gown – signifying graduation. The scene then shifted to Sean in the audience, in what looked to be a wrestling arena, before cutting to the final image of Sean, in the middle of a death defying leap from a forty-foot high camera tower, as his foe – below – laid unconscious.
"AND, WHEN THEY ASK YOU WHO I AM, SHIT, YOU JUST TELL 'EM THAT I'M ... THE ONE!"
CUT TO: The very last image. One of "Triple X" Sean Stevens in the center of the ring, being handed a crown, tired, sweaty, yet triumphant.
BOOOOOOOOM!
[Pyro goes off as the crowd gets LOUD as Stevens and Impulse come through the curtain, the two men at a fast walk as they head towards the ring. Impulse in a leather jacket, white tights and ring boots with the green green/heart beat logo, Stevens in his trademark black tights with blue X’s across the legs and seat. “Greatest EPW Superstar” T-Shirt on.]
DT: They survived the Bracket of Death, they’re firm favourites to win the tournament, but after what we saw earlier it could be interesting?
DM: They’re professional and trying to put on a united front, but look at how Stevens is keeping his eye on Impulse?
DT: Impulse is getting a shot at The First and the World Championship thanks to winning that triple threat
MN: With help from Cameron Cruise!
[CUE UP: “CMND/CTRL” by the Deftones. The fans begin to boo as the team of SAM TURNER, JR. and TEDDY ALEXANDER emerge from behind the curtain and pump their fists on the stage. Teddy appears wearing his signature neck brace, while Sam grimaces into the disrespectful crowd from beneath the rim of a John Deere hat. After a moment, they make their approach to the encaged ring. Alexander slaps the title belt around his waist as Sam holds his over his shoulder]
TF: Introducing first, the challengers… They are HANK… and CECIL FARTHINGTON… DIRK… DICKWOOD… PRESENTS!!
In the corner to my right… the other challengers…weighing in at a combined weight of 431 pounds… IMPULSE… and TRIPLE X… SEAN… STEVENS!!
Introducing now, in the corner to my left… they are the REIGNING… and DEFENDING… EMPIRE PRO WRESTLING WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS…
TEDDY ALEXANDER! AND SAM… TURNER… JUNIOR!!
DT: Who could have predicted at the start out of all the great teams, these three would be here? Many had First and Cruise or Anarky and Rezin here from the Bracket of Death, and don’t forget teams like V.I.A.G.R.A, The Wolves of the Sea, Dreamstealers and the now former champs Animezing Dragons, any of them could’ve been in this position.
MN: I can’t wait! This is going to be a great match, someone’s neck’s gonna get broken.
DT: MIKE!
MN: It’s a physical match with six physical guys.
DM: I’m having trouble thinking who’s going to win. Impulse and Stevens would be who I’d normally say but after that hellacious triple threat, they’re tired, they’re still breathing heavy.
DT: There’s the bell and the champions are quickest off the blocks, going straight for Impulse and Stevens!
DM: It’s easier to win a triple threat if you can take out one of the other two.
DT: Impulse catches a knee to the midsection from Alexander, Stevens trading right hands with Turner, Hank and Farthington taking it easy, keeping an eye on things, not getting involved until they have to.
DM: Stevens with a thumb to the eye on Turner, Impulse is being choked in the corner.
DT: Stevens pushes Turner into the corner, unloads with some stomps, reverse DDT by Farthington!
DM: No count on the cover, Turner there to prevent it, that was a bit of smart strategy but far, far too early.
MN: Why waste time? Go for the quick win, you never know.
DM: Maybe when you’re not in there with a hall of famer, a hall of fame calibre wrestler and the tag champions.
DT: Stevens shaking out the effects of the reverse DDT, Hank comes in and barrels him into the corner, Turner and Farthington locked up as Alexander hits a backbreaker on Impulse.
MN: Teddy loves hurting people! We saw that last time when he destroyed Otaku!
DT: Hank driving those shoulders hard into the midsection of the former world champ. Farthington with a whip, reversed by Turner, big clothesline! The tag champs so far looking the better in there, but it’s early days and a lot’s going on!
DM: Of course there is! Every match so far has had four men battling it out, now there are six, three pairings, the referee is going to have a huge task if they choose to throw out all the rules.
DT: Farthington almost decapitated with another clothesline, Hank having a tough time with Sean Stevens thanks to a knee to the face, and Alexander with Impulse up – Impulse slips out of what looked like a Burning Hammer attempt and there’s a dropkick against the ropes, drop toe hold and very quickly back with an elbow to the back of the champion.
[Turner presses his advantage against Farthington, tossing the uppercrustman over the top rope and back first into the cage. Meanwhile, Stevens looks to build some momentum and catch his breath at the same time, applying an arm wringer and hammering on the right arm of Hank. Impulse, meanwhile, brings Alexander back to his feet near the corner, slapping him with an open right palm before hooking the head and delivering a vertical suplex. The shaking from the impact alerts Turner, who turns his back on Farthinton and charges Impulse only to be caught out by Stevens who sends Hank in the path of the big man with an Irish whip]
DT: Collision, centre of the ring, Stevens and Impulse with dropkicks take down both men!
DM: Some good teamwork from these two but again, Steven’s giving Impulse a mean look.
DT: Impulse trying to shake that off, leg drop to Alexander.
Kickout at one. Stevens bringing Hank back to his feet and into another arm wringer, clubbing blow to the back.
DM: Farthington taking his time on the outside, I think he can see that he’s not in any danger of losing at the moment, so no need to expend energy.
DT: Alexander being stomped by Impulse, spots Turner but too late! Turner with a scoop and powerslam, spinning away from Teddy and into a cover
DM: Impulse easily kicks out though.
DT: It’s been a fast paced opening couple of minutes, Farthington in to help Hank out grabs Stevens from behind after a boot to the knee, opens him up – Hank with a boot to the midsection.
[The brawler winds up, Farthington still holding the former world champ, and nails Stevens with a thunderous right to the jaw, Stevens hitting the mat hard as the crowd groan from the impact]
MN: New jaw, please.
DT: Turner and Alexander overpowering Impulse, Alexander throws him through the ropes, Turner off the ropes, grabs Impulse on the way back – smashes him into the ring post!!
MN: That’s why they’re the tag champs! Perfect team work!
DM: And on the other side of the ring Stevens has just been dropped onto the cage wall by Hank. I guess that takes care of them?
DT: Alexander and Turner stalking, Farthington turns Hank around and they catch the champs trying the sneak attack!
DM: Right hands flying!
MN: STOP GOING SO DAMN FAST!! I can’t keep up with all this!
DT: Turner and Hank trading stiff shots as Farthington slips out of the corner, hard chop across the chest, ducks a wild shot and unleashes a big forearm to the jaw!
DM: I’m more interested in those two hammering away in the middle of the ring! Neither man budging!
DT: Hank and Turner with rapid fire right hands, right hands, Farthington tries to come in from behind and gets an elbow to the bridge of the nose from Turner, I don’t think he knew what was behind him.
MN: Hank rocked!
DT: Hank swings again, ducked, scooped up – AIRPLANE SPIN!!
DM: But Farthington takes him out by clipping the knee!
DT: Hank almost Samoan dropped but it looks like Turner took the bigger impact. Hank dizzy, staying against the ropes, Farthington stomps on the knee.
[Farthington starts to stretch the knee, twisting it in a standing leg lock as Alexander, still a little dazed, starts to make a move only to be intercepted by Hank – albeit not in a fluid manner, the DDP member still dizzy and stumbling as he forces Alexander and himself through the ropes to the apron near Sean Stevens. Meanwhile, Impulse has managed to recover somewhat and makes his way to the top rope, missed by the camera until he files with a missile dropkick to the back of Farthington. The impact sends Farthington over the top of Turner, hyperextending the larger man’s knee]
MN: I hoped he was dead. The turncoat.
DT: Turner rolling over to the cage clutching the leg and knee, Impulse has Farthington up – back over with a suplex!
ONE!
Two and a kickout.
DM: Hank and Alexander are still going at it on the outside.
DT: Impulse brings Farthington back up to his feet, keeping the offence going, the number one contender wants to win this thing as quickly as he can, inverted atomic drop, changes the position, NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!
And another kickout at two by the DDP member!
DM: He’s tough.
DT: Impulse with a kick to the face as Farthington tries to get back up, Alexander with a right to Hank, misses another one X-FACTOR!! Stevens with an X-Factor
MN: AGAIN!!
DT: X-Factor to Hank!! Triple X takes out both men, Hank ducked and Alexander got taken out, turned round straight into another one! Stevens starting to climb the cage, Impulse with a big DDT to Farthington, sees his partner starting to climb, he’s heading up as well!
DM: We won’t get new world champions but Kings of the Cage sounds just as good with these two!
DT: Stevens nearly at the top, Impulse sees Farthington starting to move – CROSS BODY!!
ONE!!
TWO!!!
Another kickout, Stevens yelling at Impulse to get out of the cage. Impulse moves towards the cage again, Turner grabs him in a chin lock – broken up by Stevens, he was nearly out of the match but came back to protect his partner.
MN: More likely to make sure they won. He doesn’t trust Impulse to get the job done without help.
DT: Stevens with an elbow to Turner, kicks out the leg. Hank making his way back into the ring and straight at Impulse, scoops him up and into the side slam. Stevens drops a knee on the back of Turner’s leg goes for another but the big man rolls away. Stevens jars his elbow straight into the canvas, that had to hurt.
DM: Straight down on the point, too. He wanted to impact and he got it.
DT: Hank has Impulse against the ropes, big knee to the midsection. Irish whip as Turner clotheslines Stevens, FLYING HEADSCISSORS by Impulse! Hank goes down near the corner, Impulse charges in, TAKEN OUT BY ALEXANDER!!
MN: Impressive move from the big man.
DT: Teddy Alexander showing surprising agility from the top rope, big flying clothesline.
[If Alexander was hoping to take Impulse to town, he failed to count on Farthington. The DDP member leaps onto his back, applying a sleeper hold in the middle of the ring as Hank comes in, boots the champion in the midsection and continues to stomp away as Alexander sinks to the mat. Meanwhile, Sam Turner Jr is favouring his leg but is in control of Sean Stevens, smashing his head into the turnbuckle and then the cage wall before hitting a side walk slam. He rises, pumping his fist into the air and turns to call to his partner, but notices him being beaten down by Hank while Farthington chokes him – and the good ol’ boy just can’t be having that! He charges, booting Farthington in the spine and crashes into Hank with a shoulder block. Sam winces a little, turns around as Hank gets back to his feet, and slams the DDP man down with a HUGE scoop slam. Farthington tries to slow him down with a rake to the face, but an Irish whip attempt gets reversed into a short arm clothesline which brings a long two count before Impulse breaks it up]
DT: Impulse with some forearms to the head of Turner, I’m amazed at the pace, the ferociousness you can only get here in Empire Pro.
DM: It’s unique to the Kings of the Cage, too, so many bodies in the ring, all going for the big win, a lot of pride.
MN: This is the big time! Nowhere’s bigger.
DT: This has to be almost a first.
MN: What?
DT: I almost agree with you.
MN: Eww! Stop it, I feel dirty!
DM: Impulse shook with a fist from Turner, that looked like it hit the throat.
DT: Stevens back up, boot to the face of Turner.
[Stevens backs Turner against the ropes, whipping him across the ring and taking him out with a back elbow before dropping a knee to the temple]
DT: ONE!
TWO!!
Shoulder up by Turner there, Farthington and Hank coming in again, Alexander takes Farthington down with a huge lariat and Impulse shakes off that fist to the throat to hit a gorgeous hurricanrana on Hank!
DM: Such high speed so far into the match.
DT: About fifteen minutes in and they’re still going full force, that’s the kind of athletes we have in Empire Pro. Hank slumped against the bottom rope from that hurricanrana, Stevens backs Turner into the corner but a knee from the champion. Teddy Alexander with Farthington on the ring apron, ramming, grinding the face into the unforgiving steel.
MN: Where’s Impulse going?
DT: Impulse climbing the cage, Turner with an Irish whip on Stevens, Stevens stops himself in the corner – X-FACTOR!! X-FACTOR ON TURNER!!
DM: But Alexander saw it, he heard the impact, charges in breaks up the count and he’s got Sean Stevens by the throat, throws him through the ropes into the cage wall and follows him out
DT: SHOOTING STAR!! SHOOTING STAR PRESS BY IMPULSE!!
DM: WHAT…
DT: Impulse took a huge risk, it paid off but he can’t cover, only partly pays off I should say!
MN: Idiot. That’s why he needs help.
DT: Teddy Alexander leaving Stevens on the apron, comes in to the ring – brainbuster on Impulse!!
[CUT TO: A split screen showing the extreme height as Impulse flies from the top of the cage onto a prone Sam Turner with a Shooting Star Press, the impact winding Impulse and leaving Turner motionless]
DT: What a move, but he’s paying the price, he was lucky Hank was nearby to stop the pin attempt.
DM: He could have cost himself and Stevens the Kings of the Cage, but DDP want the win just as badly. Hank with Teddy Alexander up on his shoulders, Samoan drop in the middle of the ring.
DT: Dirk Dickwood slamming his hand into the cage, telling Hank and Farthington to take out Alexander and get out of the ring.
DM: That would be the smart thing.
DT: Hank holding up Alexander, Farthington with three hard stiff chops across the chest, Hank lifts Alexander up – down on the back drop, and Dirk Dickwood Presents start moving towards the door.
DM: Dickwood clapping his hands, Hank moves through the door – Farthington dropped from behind by Stevens! Reverse DDT!
DT: Hank turns around, tries to get up the steps again, Stevens slams the door shut – he’s padlocking it from the inside!!
DM: Sneaky Triple X!
DT: Stevens with Farthington, big slam in the middle of the ring, DDP are down to one man in the match until Hank can get himself back up over the cage! Stevens had a padlock, I don’t want to know where he hid it.
DM: Hank trying to climb the cage, Stevens with that sick look in his eyes we’ve seen before – X-TERMINATOR!!
DT: He spots Turner getting up X-FACTOR!!
DM: Stevens stalking Alexander now, Hank hoisting himself over the top of the cage , starts to climb down… X-FACTOR!! HANK TRIED TO TAKE STEVENS FROM BEHIND!!
DT: Hank taken out with an X-Factor in mid air! He thought he could take Stevens when his attention was turned, but no cigar! Alexander gets the chance though, has Stevens in a waist lock, takes him down.
MN: Stevens almost had it all won on his own!
DT: Teddy Alexander switching to an arm bar, but look where he’s got his right elbow, back of the neck, holding Stevens down.
DM: It’s a good way to immobilise someone.
DT: Stevens trying to shift his position to get back to his feet – saved by Impulse!
DM: He’s still holding his midsection from that shooting star press but that doesn’t stop him stomping on Alexander.
DT: Stevens back up, too. Grabs Alexander, Impulse with an open hand to the jaw, boot to the midsection, Stevens with a vertical suplex.
ONE!!
TWO!!
Kickout by Alexander.
MN: Stevens wants to end this now.
DT: Stalking Alexander… X MISSED!!
DM: Alexander with an innovative back breaker, but Impulse takes him down with a flying forearm before he can go for a cover.
DT: All six men are down, about 20 minutes in.
DM: These matches take a lot out of you, and Stevens and Impulse already had a match! Farthington and Turner are back to their feet, Farthington has Impulse, big release German suplex!
DT: And Turner with a splash on Cecil. The cover, the count, kickout at two.
[Turner, frustrated, slams his hands against the canvas. Hands on hips he sees his partner starting to stir and calls over. The tag champions have the barest of glances and hatch a plan in an instant, Turner grabbing Farthington and throwing him into the corner. He backs into the opposite one, Alexander whipping Turner across the ring into Cecil. As soon as Turner connects with the clothesline he steps out of the way, Alexander hitting a clothesline of his own before stepping to one side and letting Turner hit a splash in the corner]
DT: Big double team offence there, Turner now has Farthington, standing headscissors – UP!
MN: REDNECKBREAKER!!
DT: Powerbomb and neckbreaker!!
MN: Redneckbreaker!
DT: ONE!!
TWO!!!
THRNO!! NO!! Impulse and Hank making the save at the same time there!

DM: Alexander and Hank trading big right hands, Impulse with kicks to the legs of Turner – enziguri!! What tremendous impact!
DT: Alexander and Hank taken out by Stevens with a cross body from the cage!
DM: And Impulse has Turner on his knees.
DT: THE MESSAGE!! THE MESSAGE!! IMPULSE HAS THE MESSAGE LOCKED IN!!
DM: That’s a lot of pressure on the back!
MN: How do you even think to apply that?!
DM: Impulse holding Turner’s legs on the canvas with his own, reaching back on the head and stretching the back and ribs and abdomen, this is an innovative move that attacks a lot of the body in one go!
DT: Stevens took out Alexander and Hank, off the ropes – dropkick to Turner!
DM: That breaks the hold!
DT: Impulse is fuming!! Impulse yelling at Stevens that he had this match won.
DM: The Message might well have done it. But Stevens clearly didn’t think so.
[Impulse squares up to Stevens, asking what his problem is, to which Stevens shoves his partner to a huge roar from the crowd! Impulse shoves Stevens back, the tension rising, but before the two can come to blows, Farthington, Alexander, Hank and Turner are in and on the attack, double teaming the bracket of death winners. Two three-ways erupt, Stevens fighting Alexander and Hank as Farthington, Turner and Impulse fight their way into a corner]
DT: Impulse knee to the midsection but Turner with a stiff right to the jaw, Alexander and Stevens and Hank throwing hard shots at each other. Farthington up to the second rope, dives off with an elbow which connects on Impulse! Turner tries to grab Cecil, ducks under, hammerlock, TURNER INTO THE RING POST!!
DM: I think his head might have hit the cage!
DT: Turner slumped over the second rope, Farthington on Impulse – hammerlock slam!
DM: Stevens holding Alexander, Hank with a right hand.
DT: Stevens shoves Alexander into Hank, up to the top rope – missile dropkick takes out Hank!

DM: So late into the match.
DT: Cecil Farthington with a quick knee to the midsection, hooks the leg, can’t connect, Stevens countered with a right to the gut, thumb to the eye, big, big chop.
DM: He was looking for The Worthless but couldn’t hit it.

DM: Alexander pausing to take a look back – he knows it’s over! Starts his way down.
[The crowd seem to stir near the entrance]
DT: Turner tries the door, the cage is padlocked from the inside! Stevens padlocked it earlier!
DM: I don’t think that’s going to matter! Turner’s starting up the cage.
MN: YES! Alexander out of the cage!
DT: Wait a minute… what’s “The Dragon” doing out here?!
MN: Go home, loser!
DT: Teddy Alexander urging his partner to get up the cage wall! Impulse is down, Stevens is down, Farthington and Hank are down! Turner about halfway up over on the rampway side.
MN: Keep climbing, redneckbreaker!
DT: Turner near the top of the cage – BROWN UP THE CAGE WALL AND A KICK TO THE HEAD! OH MY GOD TURNER JUST HIT THE MAT HARD!!
DM: And Brown’s just laying on top of the cage! How on… what on Earth are is he doing out here?!
DT: I don’t know but Teddy Alexander’s furious! He’s made it to the ramp side, shouting at Brown, he’s climbing back up the cage to get at the Dragon!
[Nonchalantly, Brown looks over his shoulder, still lounging on top of the cage from where he landed after vaulting up into a kick on Turner. “The Dragon” keeps an eye on Turner, and after a couple of seconds he nods, standing and looking straight down at the angry champion]
DT: Five men down on the inside, Alexander trying to get up the cage – NO!! NO!! NO!!
Crowd: HO-LY-SHIT!! HO-LY-SHIT!!
DT: ALEXNADER IS DEAD!! ALEXANDER HAS GOT TO BE DEAD!! BROWN… SOMERSAULT POWERBOMB…
DM: WHERE DID THAT TABLE COME FROM?!
[On cue we cut to a SPLIT SCREEN replay. The first shot shows Brown nodding, standing, and launching himself down at a steep angle, grabbing Alexander by the waist before completing a somersault and powerbombing the larger man from the side of the cage about 10 feet through a table
SECOND REPLAY: As Dean asks again where the table came from we see a new angle, from the ringside. As Turner starts to climb, the familiar shape of Otaku slips from under the ring, bring a table with him. He quickly sets it up and gives a thumbs up to his partner and backs away moments before Alexander is sent crashing through the table, Brown landing well and in control]
DT: Otaku with a table from under the ring, Brown with a somersault powerbomb… Stevens is stirring inside the ring, Otaku helping Brown up… what are Animezing Dragons doing?!
DM: Go ask them!
DT: Teddy Alexander has to be in serious trouble, he’s not moving, Brown and Otaku backing up the rampway, they’ve got a guaranteed rematch against the champions.
MN: Maybe they’re trying to make it easy for themselves?
DT: Stevens dragging himself, clawing his way over, drapes the arm over Hank
ONE!!
TWO!!
Shoulder up, and Farthington with the axe handle to the back to make sure.
DM: I really thought the champs had it won but the former champs getting involved like that, after everything these six men have done to each other, after Stevens and Impulse have been through so much tonight.
DT: Farthington has Stevens hooked – THE WORTHLESS!!
ONE!!!
TWO!!!
NO!!! SAM TURNER JUNIOR BROKE IT UP!! A REAL DESPERATION DIVE THERE!
Farthington, Turner slow to get back to their feet, Turner with Farthington, Irish whip, Farthington ducks the clothesline, HANK! GERMAN SUPLEX!!
ONE!!
TWO!!!
TURNER KICKS OUT AGAIN!!
[The crowd go wild as Turner struggles, trying to get to his feet, Hank and Farthington clearly wondering what they have to do. As Turner manages to get to his feet, the two charge with a double clothesline]
DT: Turner breaks it, charges, DOUBLE CLOTHESLINE BY SAM TURNER!
DM: Great guts by this kid.
DT: Big slam on Farthington, throws Hank across the ring to the corner, big splash!!
MN: Red neck!
DT: He’s holding his back, he landed really, really heavily moments ago. He’s hoisting Hank to the top rope – no! Shut down, Farthington from behind as Turner was going for a superplex, powerbomb from the corner!
ONE!
TWO!!
THRENO!! NO!!
MN: Listen to these people!
DT: They’re really getting behind Sam Turner. Farthington screaming at the official that it was a three count!
DM: Dickwood shouting at his guys – looks like he’s got a plan.
DT: No… Boston Crab!! Boston Crab by Farthington! All the damage done to Turner’s back throughout this match, Boston Crab in the middle of the ring!!
Sean Stevens tries to come to his aid but Hank shuts down the former world champ! Drills him with a DDT, and just slams him into the cage wall.
DM: But Turner’s fighting the Boston Crab! He’s pushing himself up! He’s going to
DT: Boot to the face from Hank!!
DM: Hank basically playing the role of watch dog, keeping Turner down, keeping an eye on Stevens – IMPULSE NO!!
DT: Impulse tried an aerial move, springboard cross body but Hank spotted him! Has him, what strength, BRAINBUSTER!!
DM: And listen to Turner growling!
DT: Turner pushing up again!
MN: Boot by Hank!
DT: Hank stomping on the head of Turner – CAMEL CLUTCH!! CAMEL CLUTCH AND A BOSTON CRAB!!
DM: This has got to be it!
DT: Impulse is down, Alexander in a heap on the outside, Stevens down, Turner still fighting, come on kid! Come on!!
NO!! IT’S OVER!! TURNER TAPS!! HE HAD NO CHOICE!! SAM TURNER HAD NO CHOICE!!
[SFX: Bell ringing]
DT: Dirk Dickwood pulled it off!! It took both of them to get the submission, what guts, what determination from Turner!
TF: Ladies and gentlemen… the winners of the match…. aaaaaaannnnddd NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW!!! EMPIRE PRO WRESTLING WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS AND KINGS OF THE CAGE…..
CECIL FARTHINGTON… HANK…. DDDDIIIIIRRRRRRKKKKK… DDDDDDIIIIIIICCCCCCKKKKKKKKWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD… PPPPPPPPPRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEESSSSSSEEEEEEENNNNNNNTTTTTTTTTTS!!!
MN: Yes!
DT: I thought Turner and Alexander had it! Turner was so close to escaping the cage! DDP can thank Karl Brown for that.
DM: I think you’re right, but take nothing away from DDP, and give everything to Sam Turner. He took that onslaught and it was only when he’d been in a double submission for over a minute he had to quit.
DT: The cage is getting lifted, Dickwood in the ring with the belts for his team, Turner’s in the middle of the ring.
[Farthington and Hank celebrate with their manager, showing off the titles before slipping out of the ring to carry on the celebrations on the outside. Impulse and Stevens are down, breathing heavily, Stevens slamming his fist into the apron as the fans get to their feet, cheering and applauding as Sam Turner struggles, clings to the ref, and finally manages to make his way uneasily to his feet, the pain in his back showing clearly in his face]
DT: Folks, what an epic! This match had it all, and these fans know it! Turner and Alexander may have lost the titles but take nothing away, they’re here to stay. For Dean Matthews and Mike Neely, this is Dave Thomas... we'll see you at UNLEASHED!!
