Weight Of My Money by Pay Money To My Pain plays on the Titantron's speakers, and the crowd goes absolutely nuts!
Anita: From Los Angeles, Calfornia…weighing at 235 Ibs, Jaaaasssssoooooooon Sabreeeeeeee!
He walks down as the lights begin to come back on and he high fives fans before sliding in the apron.
Mauro: The Ungovernable. The Ace of Pro Wrestling. The coolest son of a gun you'd ever know who's made waves all over the WFA is here and he's ready to tear things up!
He takes his jacket off, before climbing to the top turnbuckle and doing the gun taunt before he leans on one corner, prepping himself up.
UMD by Evilwave plays out and Rizzo walks out calmly with a lone spotlight on him. The crowd boos boos him without reprieve.
Mauro: The self-proclaimed coolest millennial and Mr. Five Stars. Former IWGP and NXT Champion and while he's not hanging around with Evan Neal's Evan Empire he's got a massive chip on his shoulder against everyone who thinks he's a loser.
Nigel: I'm sure Rizzo will find a way to use that against Mr. Sabre tonight, seeing as the Ace seems to riding here out of pure confidence which could be his undoing.
Matt: Yeah but Rizzo got his ass handed to him few times back because he was overconfident as well.
Nigel: Different story Striker. This is a new playing field!
He jumps onto the apron and places his hands on the top rope while facing towards the crowd, hanging off the apron. He then turns around and front handsprings over the top rope, landing in a three point landing. He looks up with a smirk before doing a front somersault to get to his feet. His eyes focus on Sabre, and they both glared at each other.
Nigel: This is going to be a feast for the eyes.
Both wrestlers squared up to each other in the middle of the ring. The referee asked them shake hands, but Rizzo instead threw shade at Sabre.
"You lost to me before. I'll do it again and again and again."
Sabre smirked back at Jeff, whose expression grew irate at the Ace.
"You're not on the Rizzo level chump!" Rizzo spat and shoved Sabre back. "This is my turf now you fleekless fuckface!"
Sabre gestured the referee to ring the bell. The referee did so with a roll of his eye. Sabre immediately lunged at Rizzo who dodged him and tried to go for the attack by swinging his at Sabre, who reversed it into an attempt for the Final Blow (RKO). Rizzo barely escaped from that, rolling out of the ring and stared at Sabre with shock.
"Who's the fuckface now?!" Sabre called Rizzo out. The crowd laughed at Rizzo. Rizzo screamed back at them, and even took offense to a fan holding a sign in the front row that said JEFF RIZZO = MA NAME JEFF.
"That's funny for you?" Rizzo ripped the sign off the fan, earning more boos as he ripped it apart and threw it back at the guy. "NO ONE LIKES A DEAD MEME!"
His actions however led to Sabre giving him a stiff chop to the chest that reeled him to the barricade. Sabre chopped him several more times before carrying him up in a front suplex hold and dropping him gut first to the barricade! Rizzo rolls on the ground coughing in pain as Sabre celebrates and taunts the millennial further.
Mauro: Not very smart of Mr. Rizzo eh Nigel?
Nigel: I'm sure he has a plan concocted in that head of his.
Matt: That's what they all say…
Jason deposits Rizzo back to the ring, and tries to apply a cloverleaf on Rizzo, who scrambles for a rope break. Sabre tries to pull him back, but Rizzio kicks him in the face. Sabre holds his jaw and backs off as Rizzo gets back to his feet. Rizzo tries to club Sabre from the back but Sabre anticipates it and punches Rizzo back. He does it until Rizzo is forced back to the ropes. Sabre follows with a Irish Whip to the opposite ropes, bouncing Rizzo off. Sabre tries to follow up with an uppercut but Rizzo ducks it and runs to the opposite ropes, bouncing off that one and dropkicking Sabre to the mat! He quickly goes for the cover, but Sabre kicks out before the referee could count. Rizzo follows up by doing multiple elbow drops on the grounded Sabre, and walks on top of him to add insult to injury. The crowd boos him much louder this time, and Rizzo responds by doing Sabre's gun taunt and kicking Sabre in the gut as he tried to get up.
Nigel: Rizzo is back in control!
Rizzo picked Jason back on his feet and place him upright the nearest corner. He proceeded to chop and elbow the Ace repeatedly, and followed up by running to the opposite corner and delivered a Busaiku Knee that connected…with the turnbuckle! Jason had managed to roll out of the way safely and the back of Rizzo's head crashed hard on the canvas. Rizzo clutched his head and groaned in pain. Sabre took the opportunity to pick Rizzo back up, and carried him up in a lifted reversed DDT and dropped Rizzo on the canvas. He went for the pin, 1,2 – Rizzo barely gets a shoulder up. Sabre dragged Rizzo back to his feet, and slapped him square in the face much to the delight of the fan. Rizzo stumbled back to a corner, where he became recipient of multiple chops from Sabre. Sabre Irish Whipped him to the opposite corner and repeated the same action.
Mauro: Good God. Sabre's lacerating him!
He followed up by hoisting Rizzo up on the corner, and prepared to deliver a superplex, but Rizzo held on Sabre's pants. Sabre struggled to lift Rizzo up, but out of nowhere Rizzo slipped underneath Sabre and pulled his legs, causing the Ace's chin to smash on the turnbuckle painfully. Rizzo followed up with the New Man's Resolution (Suplex into a backstabber) when Sabre stumbled towards him. Rizzo chose not to go for the cover, and instead went to the corner he was at earlier.
Nigel: Uh oh. We've seen this before.
Matt: Sabre look out!
Sabre tried to push himself back up, but the JR Revolution (Leaping mushroom stomp) connected with the back of his head! Rizzo stumbled for a moment, holding the back of his head before he went for the cover. 1,2- but Sabre manages to kick out! Rizzo screams at the referee. "It was three!"
Matt: It's going to take more than just that to keep Sabre down!
Rizzo got back up, and taunted Sabre. "Ace my ass." He nudged the recovering Sabre's face with his boot, and kicked it. "Where's your five stars buddy?!" He kicked Sabre's face, and proceeded to choke his neck with his boot, earning major heat from the fans.
Mauro: This is just low…
Nigel: That's something you'd expect from anyone who's willing to stand up for himself when his reputation gets marred.
Matt: You're seriously using that to justify this?!
Nigel: Sabre insulted and laid out Rizzo's dignity. The man is just acting out of anger.
The referee had to push Rizzo off, threatening disqualification. Rizzo shrugged the referee off and carried Sabre's form back up, locking him in a single underhook position. He was going for the Ace Breaker (Lifting Single Underhook Double Knee Gutbuster) but as he got Sabre up he Ace elbowed him from the back, and followed up with the Deathplex (Suplex into knees). Sabre smirked as Rizzo writhed in pain.
Mauro: Sabre giving Rizzo a taste of his own medicine!
Sabre dragged Rizzo by his arm back to his feet, and blew him a kiss before superkicking him! Rizzo eyes rolled up his head and he rolled off the matt to the floor outside. The crowd roared with delight as Sabre then ascended his nearest corner, despite the referee's wraning to get down.
Nigel: He's going high risk!
"Hey Rizzo!"
Rizzo groggily got back up to his feet, and looked up just to see Sabre knocking his breath out with the Final Hour! (high fly low)
Mauro: Shades of Hiroshi Tanahashi by Jason Sabre! Wow that's the second time I referenced the moves of legends in one show!
Sabre grabs a fan's water bottle and pours it all over himself, and the fan rapturously cheers for the Ace. Jason smirks back at her and throws Rizzo back into the ring.
Nigel: Talk about arrogance there…
Matt: Give me a break Nigel. Jason isn't nearly as arrogant as Rizzo here!
Mauro: That doesn't exactly help either man's case…
Sabre reenters the ring and tries to pin Rizzo, but Rizzo rolls him up in a cradle pin. 1,2 – Sabre manages to escape it! He tries to hit Rizzo with a shining wizard but Rizzo dodges it and grabs Sabre's ankle at the same time, and tries to go for a single leg Boston Crab, but Sabre rolled Rizzo up in an unexpected kneebar! Rizzo screamed in pain, and flailed around, trying to get to the ropes.
Matt: Kneebar locked in! Rizzo's gotta tap!
Rizzo managed to crawl to the ropes after a considerable amount of effort. Sabre released the kneebar and stomped away at Rizzo's leg. Sabre bounced off the opposite ropes and was going to knee Rizzo's face but Rizzo tripped him by kicking his shin. Sabre fell flat on his face, and Rizzo got back to his feet, and delivered a vicious shining wizard that planted Sabre on the mat. He goes for the cover, 1,2- but Sabre kicks out! Angered, Rizzo pummels away at Sabre's face until he had to be pulled off by the referee. He hobbled to the top corner nearest to Sabre, his leg smarting with pain from the kneebar earlier. As he went up, Sabre started to stir.
Mauro: Could we see another mushroom stomp from Rizzo?
Rizzo went for the stomp again, but Sabre rolls out of the way. Rizzo managed to land on his feet and he tried to swing at Sabre, but Sabre deftly wrapped his arms behind Rizzo and German Suplexed him back to the same corner, with Rizzo's neck landing hard on the second turnbuckle!
Matt: Lightning doesn't strike twice!
Sabre used the ropes to get himself back on his feet, and he went to the opposite corner, and striked a pose ala Shinsuke Nakamura. The crowd started whistling and cheering for Sabre to hit the Final Resolution (Kinshasa) on Rizzo. Rizzo stumbled for a moment, his neck smarting with pain from the earlier bumps he had taken in the match. He rolled out of the ring, and called for the ring medic to check on his neck. Sabre stared at him with disbelief.
Nigel: Rizzo's neck has taken a considerable amount of damage in this match…I wonder if he can continue.
The referee told Jason to stand by as the ring medic did as told. After a few seconds, the medic asked. "You think you can continue Mr. Rizzo?"
"I don't know! Do your job!"
Sabre rolled out of the ring, and advanced towards Rizzo. Sabre barely forced him to turn around when Rizzo suddenly threw Jason face first into the steel post! Rizzo rolled his head without any visible discomfort and laughed at his opponent, much to the ire of the fans.
Mauro: Rizzo showing off that never failing cunningness that has elevated him to stardom!
Nigel: Jason's not really much of an Ace if he couldn't anticipate that eh?
Matt: You would've fallen for it too Nigel.
Nigel: Please Striker. I knew what Rizzo was doing all along!
A half conscious Sabre was deposited back to the ring by Rizzo. Rizzo himself re-entered the ring and propped Sabre back up on the corner he was at earlier and he himself went to the same corner where Sabre had attempted to hit him with the Final Resolution. Sabre could not do anything as Rizzo didn't hesitate to smash his jaw with the Rizzo Kick!
Nigel: It's over!
Rizzo went for the cover, 1,2, - suddenly the referee stopped counting and the crowd popped! Rizzo was apoplectic as he realized what had happened. Jason's right hand was clutching on the bottom rope.
Mauro: Jason Sabre managed a rope break!
Nigel: That man has all the bloody luck in the world!
"No no no!" Rizzo slammed his fists on the canvas, and got in the face of the referee, screaming at him. The referee argued back.
Matt: If he's smart he'll go back and finish the job!
Rizzo stopped arguing with the referee and dragged Sabre back to the center of the ring and tried to pin him again. 1,2- but this time Sabre kicks out! Rizzo was irate at this point, as the crowd started chanting 'Jason Sabre' and clapping in sync for the fortitude of the Ace. Rizzo glared at the audience and dragged Sabre back to a corner.
"It ends here Sabre!" Rizzo spat as gripped Sabre's jaw. He ran back to the opposite corner and bounced off, trying to hit the Rizzo Kick again, but Sabre reverses the attempt into a slingblade! Rizzo got back to his feet and tried to hit Sabre again, but Sabre goes to the ropes bouncing off it and Rizzo becomes recipient to a running blockbuster from Sabre! Rizzo gets up again, snarling at Sabre and he gets Reloaded (superkick followed by a ripcord lariat) for his troubles! Sabre does a war cry as the crowd cheers loudly for his comeback!
Mauro: Sabre finally has Rizzo nailed!
Matt: He never saw this coming!
Sabre waits for Rizzo to get back to his feet, and nearly hits the Final Blow had Rizzo not pushed him out of the way in time! Sabre tries to go for a lariat but Rizzo rolls towards him, and springs off corner ropes to hit a reverse DDT on Sabre…that gets reversed into a neckbreaker on Sabre's knee! Sabre waves a finger, chastising Rizzo for even trying as the millennial clutched the back of his neck in agony. Sabre went for the cover, 1,2 and Rizzo gets a shoulder up! Sabre gets back on his feet, and prepares to hit the Final Blow once more, but Rizzo attempts to roll out of the ring, to which Sabre quickly reacts to by grabbing a hold on Rizzo's ankles. Rizzo gritted his teeth held onto the apron as Sabre pulled him back. Sabre gave up almost as quickly and stomped at Rizzo's back several times until the referee had to stop him. Sabre tried to pick Rizzo back up, but Rizzo thumbed his eye without the referee noticing, causing the Ace to clutch his orbital socket in pain. Rizzo seized the opportunity to hit his own version of the Final Blow on Sabre, much to the shock and amazement from the crowd!
Mauro: Are you kidding me?!
Nigel: A stroke of genius there!
Matt: Rizzo you sonuva bitch!
The crowd starts clapping and chanting in sync. "Fuck you Rizzo!" Rizzo flipped them off, and went for the cover, 1,2- but Sabre kicks out!
Mauro: MAMMA MIA! SABRE IS STILL ALIVE IN THIS!
Nigel: I don't believe it! How is he still able to stand up after all that?!
"Jason Sabre!" the crowd claps and repeats again. "Jason Sabre!"
Rizzo had a blank look on his face. He muttered, "That was three…" The referee shook his head and held two fingers up in the air. Rizzo cupped his mouth with both hands, and his eyes flew over to Sabre, who smirked at him despite the beating he took.
"Five Stars my ass…" Sabre hoarsely chuckled. Rizzo went berserk as a result, and started punching Sabre across his face, resorting to digging his forearm onto the Ace's face. Jason tried to push him off, but Rizzo wouldn't relent as he continued to rain blows on Jason.
Mauro: Holy cow, he's trying to bust Jason open!
Matt: So called Five Stars has gone off the rails!
The referee threatened disqualification, but Rizzo didn't seem to care anymore, opting to continue raining punishment on Sabre. Sabre narrowly managed to roll out of the ring, and Rizzo screamed at him to come back inside. Sabre's nose and mouth were trickling with blood and he propped himself back first on the announce table. Rizzo seethed as Sabre relaxed. He told the referee to start counting, to which the official did. Sabre took his own sweet time to get back up. He reentered the ring at the count of 8, and Rizzo went back on the attack. Sabre countered back with strikes of his own, hitting a few uppercuts that stunned Rizzo to a corner. He followed up a body avalanche that hits nothing but the turnbuckles, and Rizzo hits a hurricanrana as Sabre stumbled off the corner. The move caused Sabre to hit another turnbuckle, to which Rizzo tried to follow up with a Rizzo Kick that hits nowhere! Jason quickly rolls Rizzo up, 1,2- but Rizzo manages to kick out. Sabre pulls Rizzo back and tries for a back suplex, but Rizzo lands on his feet and lands an enzugiri on Sabre, who retaliates with a superkick! Both men fall down on the canvas, both panting for air.
"This is awesome! This is awesome!" The crowd chanted.
Mauro: Yet another stellar main event here tonight folks. Who's going to be the first man to seize the opportunity?!
Rizzo gets back on his feet first, albeit wobbly on his legs from the force of the superkick earlier. He kneels down and picks Sabre back on his feet. Rizzo burnt a hole through Sabre's face with his glare, and shoves him back to the corner. This time the millennial runs to the ropes, bouncing off it and using the momentum to hit the Rizzo Kick but Sabre delivers an unexpected lariat that caused Rizzo to spin an entire 360 angle in the air before crashing onto the canvas! Rizzo's body momentarily convulsed. The millennial pushed himself back up, muttering to himself. "I am, Jeff Freaking Rizzo, and I -."
And the Final Resolution to the back of the head knocks Rizzo out! Sabre scrambles for the cover, 1,2,3! The crowd cheers deafeningly!
Anita: Here's your winner! Jason Sabre!
The referee raised Sabre's hand in victory, and the tired Ace simply laughs at his good luck.
Mauro: What an incredible main event!
Nigel: Probably just as good as the explosive Mason Rivers and Koji Yoshida match back at Warfare!
Matt: It's a shame Rizzo lost eh Nigel?
Nigel: A shame indeed Striker…even though he carried this match on his shoulders.
Matt: He tried to cheat his way through –
Nigel: He was doing it for the sake of getting those ratings up! Plus he took that loss after Sabre hit him from the back!
Matt: Seriously…?
Mauro: Regardless of your opinion Nigel I'm pretty sure Rizzo will not take this lightly…I mean after all Sabre verbally eviscerated him and has brought the bite with his bark, and has humbled the millennial with a 1,2,3.
Nigel: Indeed. It's going to take something big to bounce him back after this loss.
Rizzo's expression was downtrodden as he leaned back on a corner after waking up from the Final Resolution. He bit his lip, staring at the mat as Sabre celebrated with the fans.
Mauro: With that folks, the first episode Battlefield ends here tonight.
