(Locker Room)
We can see Drew Cage punching a punching bag multiple times before drilling it with a Knee Strike.
"Nice knee there dude."
Drew turns around and saw… his opponent for tonight Claude Speed.
"If you hit someone with that, you could shatter someone's brain." He continued.
"Hearing an award winner like you praising my knee strikes in an honor. But tonight, honor means nothing." Drew replied.
"Of course it means nothing. Tonight, it's you against me in an Extreme Rules Match. And knowing your company, I'm expecting a huge challenge from you tonight." Claude explained.
"You want a challenge from me Claude? Well, you'll get it. Tonight, I hope you'll get an Insurance because I won't hold anything back." Drew warned.
"I got a lot of Insurance dude. So go ahead, give me your best shot against me." Claude challenged.
"You're on dude. Since you're the Hardcore Brawler of the Year, please, don't make me dissapointed and give me your best shot as well." Drew challenged back.
"I won't dissapoint you or the fans. And here's a taste of what you're going to get." Claude replied before nailing the punching bag with a Bicycle Kick. "Try and beat that Drew." He dared before leaving the scene.
"… I will beat that kick of yours…" Drew vowed before nailing the punching bag with a running Knee Strike. After being satsfied with the kick, Drew leaves the scene.
(Ring)
"Ladies and gentlemen please welcome, to present the Former Main Female Champion of the Year Award, representing AWF, Hikari Yagami!" WWT's Allen Jacobs announced as the crowd cheers.
("Lovefurypassionenergy" by Boy Hits Car Plays)
She's like a lost flower,
Growing out through a crack.
In the bustling sidewalk,
Moving like a river so sad.
So hey, where we going?
Tell me where we've gone.
Was there love and fury,
Energy and passion.
So fuck your rules man,
You step up, you'll go down fast.
I've got to release all the,
Shit that has made up my past.
"Thank God that our Allen Jacobs finally replace that AWF girl! At least our ring announcer didn't nearly screw up his lines!" Desire thanked.
"Fun fact guys, in 2013 Hikari is a former AWF Womens Champion, losing the title before suffering a concussion at the hands of Ruki Makino and, to a smaller extent, Revy." Hayato reminded.
"I remembered that. After watching that match, her brother, who is our World Champion, went panic and stormed to the hospital that she's in." Shake replied while Hikari's on the podium.
"…. Am I in Japan?" Hikari asked as the crowd chanted 'No!' "… so I'm in America then?" she asked as the crowd continues to chant 'No!'. "Well… I'm in Canada?" she asked as the crowd chanted 'Yes!'. "Thanks for the direction guys! For a second, I thought I was going to pull an El Blaze and speak Japanese towards you guys." She joked as the crowd laughed. "If you are asking about my condition, then my answer is simple: I'm fine thank you very much! Maybe I'm not 100 percent yet, but I can assure you that the Child of Light will return to the ring in 2014!" she assured as the crowd cheers. "Let's get to the business shall we? (Ahem) This award is dedicated to all the former Womens Champions who tried their best at defending their titles only to lose them in the end. Unfortunately, I'm not nominated which means anyone can win this award here. Let's see the nominees!" she continued.
(Titantron)
FWA Former Main Female Champion of the Year!
The nominees are…
Sailor Moon (Animated),
Peach (XCW)
Nazz (PCUW)
Misty (WWT)
Revy (AWF)
Katara (CWF)
Ayano Minegishi (CASZ)
Lexi Bunny (AWE)
Korra (NCW)
(Ring)
"So Revy nearly killed me and got nominated? Either this is Blizarro World or I'm living in a cruel and twisted world…" Hikari responded. "Okay, let's get started with the Bottom 3 on the poll shall we?"
Ayano Minegishi (CASZ) 4%
Lexi Bunny (AWE) 5%
Revy (AWF) 8%
"Well, glad that she didn't win even if she's representing AWF. Plus, the RR completely overshadowed her during her title run. Let's see who are on the second half of the Top 6!"
Peach (XCW) 9%
Nazz (PCUW) 10%
Katara (CWF) 13%
"I was surprised to see Katara being ranked higher than Nazz who's one of the most dominant Knockouts in PCUW's History. So congrats to CWF for making Katara's former title reign a great one! And now we are down to the Top 3. Whoever's the winner is, CCW isn't there to grab the award. And the winner of the Former Main Champion of the Year goes to…."
(Drum Rolls)
…
…
Misty (WWT) 13%
Sailor Moon (Animated) 16%
Korra (NCW) 17%
"… Korra!" Hikari announced as the crowd cheers.
(Van Daminator by Jim Johnston Plays)
"Let the RVD chants let loose around the world as Korra pulls a major upset by beating Sailor Moon!" Sandy cheered.
"As amazing as Sailor Moon can be, you cannot compare her with Korra and all of her matches in NCW, regardless of how many people in attendance watching her in action." Mr Comanator said.
"Oh come on! How on earth did that girl win that award? All she did was performing inside Bingo Halls while Sailor wrestled on the Grandest Stage of them All! I have a feeling that her Internet geeky fans brided the organizers to let her win this award!" Desire ranted.
"Will you shut up? Korra won this fair and square! The fans voted for her!" Wataru shouted while Korra, after shaking hands with Hikari, went to the podium as the crowd loudly chanted 'R-V-D!'.
"Okay guys, you can stop that chant now. Granted, I'm using his theme, but as great as he is, I have nothing in common with RVD." Korra asked as the chants stopped. "Okay…. First of all, I did not expect myself to win this award. I was expecting Sailor Moon since it's obvious that her story gains a lot of popularity. Her being in the biggest company in the world does help as well. But me, who spent majority of my career in NCW and currently in CWF, winning this award? This proves one thing: NCW isn't the only company that supports me! And judging by the results, I'll say, many people around the world supported me! And I want to thank all of you for that. Thanks to you guys, I managed to beat Sailor Moon for this award, similar to David vs Golliath with Sailor being the Golliath while me being the David! Hey WWE, guess what? When a girl who spend most of her time wrestling only in a cult-sized company won this award instead of your current top Diva, I'll say, your Female Division is nothing more than a Ticket to Playboy Magazines and Really Shows on E! Network!" she finished before leaving the stage.
"I believe Korra had just burned the Divas Division worse than AJ Lee's pipebomb." Early reacted.
"You tell them girl! The Divas Division are for Perverts and Piss Breakers! But you and the rest of the girls in Fiction Wrestling are still nothing compared to us WWT Girls!" Desire shouted.
(No Mercy by Pharoah Monche Plays)
"This is an Extreme Rules Match set for one fall! Introducing first, representing XCW, Claude Speed!" Allen announced as the crowd cheers.
"This is going to be a Hardcore Brawl in the making! It's XCW vs NCW!" Demetri cheered.
"Too bad this match takes place in Canada. Had this match were in Philadelphia…" Sandy said.
Yo
It's Me
It's Me
It's DDP!
(WCW Diamond Dallas Page Theme Plays)
Self High Five
"And his opponent, representing NCW, Drew Cage!" Allen announced as the crowd cheers. When Drew shows up, he can been seen wearing a DDP Yoga T-Shirt!
"I believe DDP Yoga may had it's first user coming from the realm of Fiction Wrestling. And that user's name is Drew Cage!" Sandy cheered.
"Tonight, two Brawlers from two Hardcore companies collide. ECW 2.0 vs ECW 3.0" Hayato explained.
(Bell Rings)
The two Extremists looked at each other… before rolling themselves out of the ring and picked up Kendo Sticks from under the ring. After entering the ring, the two pointed at each other using the stick.
"Now this is how you start a match, ECW style!" Shake pointed.
The two proceeded to have a sword fight using the Kendo Sticks before whacking each other with several shots with the sticks until Drew went on his knees. Claude sets to whack Drew's face with the stick, but Drew blocks the shot with his stick before pushing Claude away to the ropes. After he gets up, Drew whacks Claude's spine with the stick before drilling his gut with several Knee Strikes. He then goes for an Irish Whip, but Claude reverses it, sending Drew towards the ropes instead. Once Drew bounces off the ropes, Claude catches him before dropping him down with a Side Walk Slam and goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,…" Drew kicks out.
Claude rolls himself out of the ring before picking up a table from under the ring and opens it. He then turns around and eats a Baseball Slide by Drew, pushing Claude to the barricade. Drew exits the ring and goes to Clothesline Claude into the crowd, but Claude manages to throw Drew into the crowd with a Back Body Drop instead. After entering the crowd, Claude picks Drew up only to get pushed crashing onto the barricade! After beating Claude down with several Boxing Jabs and Knee Strikes, Drew leaves the crowd before picking up a Ladder from under the ring. After climbing to the top of the ladder and once Claude gets up, Drew knocks him down with the Cage Flip (BackFlip Into Crowd On Opponent)
"The crowd audience had just received a taste of NCW with that move!" Early reacted.
"The match is still early and he already used a ladder? Come on!" Desire questioned.
After both of them leaves the crowd, Drew places Claude on the table before climbing to the top of the ladder and sets for another Cage Flip. Claude however manages to move away before pushing the ladder down, sending Drew crashing onto the ropes before landing on the floor. After placing the Steel Steps in front of the table, Claude lifts Drew up only to have Drew slipping away before pushing him crashing onto the Steel Steps from behind! After placing Claude's body on the steel steps, Drew stands on the barricade and damages Claude's back with a Diving Double Leg Stomp!
After throwing Claude back into the ring, Drew enters the ring along with a Ladder on his hands. After leaning the ladder onto the corner, Drew picks Claude up and sets to Irish Whip him onto the ladder. Claude however manages to reverse the whip, sending Drew crashing onto the ladder instead! Claude then throws Drew crashing shoulder first onto the ring post before picking up a Kendo Stick and whacks his butt with it several times!
"Old School Claude Speed giving the newbie some speaking! Welcome to the land of Hardcore Drew!" Shake reacted.
Claude picks Drew up and goes to Irish Whip him towards the ladder, but Drew reverses it, sending Claude crashing onto the ladder instead! Once Claude turns around, Drew knocks him down with a running High Knee before pulling the ladder down crashing upon Claude! He then Sandwichs Claude with the ladder before exiting the ring to pick up a Steel Chair from under the ring. He then smashes the ladder with multiple Chair Shots, damaging the sandwiched Claude in the process before placing it at the middle of the ring. He then picks Claude up and drills him onto the chair with a DDT before going for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,…" Claude kicks out!
"It might need more than that to take Claude down!" Early adviced.
"At least Drew already knew that after seeing Claude's kick out. He's still young and had a lot of things to be learned before joining Claude's ranks." Hayato said.
Drew grabs Claude's legs and sets for the Cage Lock (Figure Four Leg Lock), but Claude manages to kick him away to the corner instead. He then gets up, picks up the chair and throws it onto Drew's face before placing him on the top turnbuckle. After opening the chair, Claude climbs to the same turnbuckle and sets for a Super-Plex. Drew however manages to punch Claude's ribs several times before Headbutting him to the face, sending Claude crashing onto the opened chair! Drew then stands on the top turnbuckle and plants him down with a Diving Leg Drop before going for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,…" Claude kicks out!
"Once again, Drew needs more than that to take Claude down!" Shake reminded.
"Maybe that could do the trick?" Wataru pointed as Drew, grabbing Claude's legs after pulling him to the middle of the ring, puts him on the Cage Lock!
"Cage Lock! This may lead to a major upset for the NCW Star!" Demetri reacted.
"Can you imagine the look of everyone if Claude taps out here? That would be a great sight to be seen!" Sandy said. After Claude crawled to the ropes for a minute or more while the Cage Lock is still apllied, he manages to grab the ropes, freeing him from the submission!
"Claude grabbed the ropes! That shows you how tough he is!" Shake reacted.
Once Claude gets up using the ropes, Drew goes for the Cage-KO (RKO) only to get pushed away and once Drew turns around, Claude stuns him with several Boxing Jabs before going for a Haymaker. Drew however dodges it before planting Claude down with the Cage-KO!
"Cage-KO! Huge upset here!" Demetri reacted as Drew goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,…" Claude kicks out!
"Better pack more punches Drew! Claude is as tough as you thought he would be!" Shake adviced.
Drew picks Claude up and goes for another Cage-KO, but Claude once again pushes Drew and once Drew turns around, Claude knocks him down with a Discus Elbow Smash! He then took out a Brass Knuckles and equips it and once Drew gets up, Claude knocks him silly with a Brass Knuckles equiped punch! With Drew standing dizzily, Claude drills him with the Bicycle Kick before going for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,3!"
"Here's your winner, Claude Speed!" Allen announced.
"At the last crucial minute, Claude Speed manages to use his experience and defeated the young challenger Drew Cage!" Mr Comanator reacted.
"I have to say, Drew put on a challenge against Claude. If he had more experience, Drew may be able to beat Claude in a match." Hayato observed.
"Let's hope that they'll meet again sometime in the future. Only on the next time, Drew learned from his mistakes and gained some experience straight from Claude himself." Shake hoped as we can see Claude offering Drew an assist to get up… which Drew accepts. The two looked at each other before Drew decided to leave the ring.
...
A/N: ... why am I keep picturing Drew Cage as a MMA Fighter or Johnny Cage's relative? Maybe that's because of his last name? Whatever...
Whoops... I spoiled Hikari's return to AWF... oh well, good thing she's not 100 percent to compete yet. And congrats DXP! NCW has finally won it's first award! XD On the other hand, I think Korra's line in the end was a shoot similar to AJ Lee's Pipebomb to the Total Divas...
Drew vs Claude should be longer, but I lost my ideas after that Cage Flip spot... what? I'm not a robotic wrestling writer you know?! And despite losing, at least Drew learnt something from a Veteran like Claude.
On to the next chapter!
