Chris McCalibur Super Tournament Quarterfinals Match: Duncan vs. Lightning
The usual double-screen graphic showed up as it unveiled two competitors, who both entered through the curtain to the entranceway.
Duncan from the left, showed no care to the audience as he simply walks forward towards the ring despite being booed by some member of the audience.
Meanwhile, Lightning, on the other side, takes a chance on shaking hands with the crowd without looking at them as he looks up to the ring, specifically for Duncan.
"This match is a single fall and it is the third of the quarterfinals of Chris McCalibur Super Tournament and has a time limit of 30 minutes!" Chef announced. "To my left, The Delinquent… Duncan!"
Duncan opened his arms wide open and received loud boos from the audience, felt like he was given a burst of energy from the jeering.
"And to my right, introducing… The Athletic Overachiever, LIGHTNING!"
This time, the fans cheered for the big man, who seemed surprised at the reception that he is getting currently, but nonetheless, he raised his fist to taunt.
"Hello again, ladies and gentlemen! Here we are, surveying the incoming match between Duncan and Lightning, who debuting here at Chris McCalibur Super Tournament!" Excalibur began commentating. "What are your thoughts on this match-up, Chris?"
"This is an interesting setup here! These two are the toughest competitors that we ever had back in Total Drama! But I don't have any idea on who's winning this one since they have at least, the strength to carry on." Chris answered.
The referee was checking on both Lightning and Duncan's boot to check for any hidden weapons inside of their footwear.
"Referee Rick Knox, the referee for this match, checking for anything that might cause trouble from these guys. We all know they are troublemakers!" Excalibur said.
The referee signals the timekeeper to ring the bell as it chimed. But all of a sudden, Duncan unexpectedly sends Lightning to the corner, surprising the crowd.
"Whoa, look at Duncan go! He already knows Lightning's ability and now has the upper hand right off the bat!" Chris reacted.
"And Duncan… now takes cover of his stomach with those tackles, keeping him down for a while," Excalibur added. "And Duncan delivers a chop! And another! And another one! And anot—Here comes Lightning, switching sides with Duncan and gives a taste of his own medicine with those tackles."
Lightning continues to tackle Duncan in the corner but he stopped momentarily to give him an uppercut, making Duncan fell almost. Then, he tosses Duncan to the other side with a monstrous Biel.
"Duncan just got sent in the air with that Biel from Lightning!" Excalibur exclaimed.
"He was like a ragdoll!" Chris added.
Duncan then stands up quickly to the corner as Lightning makes a run towards the delinquent, who counters it with a Drop Toe Hold, leaving Lightning hanging on the ropes. Duncan straightly makes his way outside while clutching his gut to strike Lightning with a Drive-By kick. He quickly entered back to the ring and climbs to the middle turnbuckle and drops his knee to the back of the athlete.
"Big knee drop from the middle turnbuckle! Duncan proceeds to cover Lightning… and kicks out at 1!" Excalibur called.
"Lightning is a big man, what can Duncan do to stop him?" Chris said.
Duncan kicks the back of Lightning and extends his arm, looking for his Delinquent Justice (Arm-trapped Crossface)submission but Lightning knowingly he is in trouble, punches Duncan with his free hand a few times as he grabs the bottom rope to break the hold. Duncan releases him from the hold as he wipes his face.
"Quick thinking by Lightning there, avoiding that submission," Excalibur said. "And Lightning kicks Duncan to the midsection, lifts him up, going for a Powerbomb but Duncan lands on his feet… Oh! A Chop Block by Duncan sends Lightning kneeling… Side Russian Leg Sweep and Duncan goes for another cover and Lightning is out at two!"
"I think he got his leg now since it buckled awkwardly," Chris observed the current situation. "I think we know what he is going to do next."
Duncan grabs the manipulated leg of Lightning and suddenly twists the leg with a Heel Hook submission, sending Lightning in the world of pain. The referee begins to consult the big guy.
"Into his submission, Lightning is in big, big trouble here. Can he survive the hold or can he still hang on?" Excalibur said. "And Lightning is getting closer to the bottom rope, that's his only chance on getting out of the submission!"
"Lightning! Lightning! Lightning!" The crowd chanted loudly.
The cheer made Lightning go hard and pulls himself out of the predicament as he successfully grabs the bottom rope and the referee reprimands Duncan for being overtime in the count.
"And Lightning has saved the match-up, for now…" Chris said. "While Duncan communicates to the crowd with such wild reaction!"
The reaction was obviously filled with boos from the audience as he takes his time to manipulate the leg of Lightning. He picked up the injured leg of the overachiever again but this time, Duncan got shoved by the leg with the force sending him to the corner.
"Oh, wow! Look how far Duncan went!" Chris exclaimed.
"Lightning is back on his feet, but he is limping and makes himself running towards Duncan… Oh! Duncan went for a boot… Enzuigiri to the side of the head and knocks out Lightning cold!" Excalibur added. "And now… Duncan climbs up to the top rope, going for something big here! Lightning is prone!"
Duncan shouted and drops himself with a Diving Splash, however, Lightning rolled out just in time, nobody there to save Duncan from falling himself. Lightning was able to hang on to the corner as Duncan slowly stands up as he looks back to Lightning, who surprises him with a big Jumping Knee Strike, both collapsing in the mat in the process. The crowd started to clap and cheer for both participants and the referee begins to count.
"What a knee strike by Lightning, caught Duncan flushed! They are all out!" Excalibur exclaimed.
"Whoever stands first gets a huge advantage and you can never fail that!" Chris added.
Both men stood up slowly and were taking breaths of fresh air when they almost got back to their feet. However, Lightning rose up first as he takes out Duncan with a Shoulder Tackle, sending him down in the mat.
"Lightning with the shoulder blocks to Duncan… and once again strikes him with that strong shoulder of the athlete… And now with his strength and traps him into the corner with those shoulder tackles!" Excalibur said.
As the spears from Lightning gained a number count from the crowd, who decides to count all the tackles that have been given to Duncan. After they counted 10, they observed Lightning, who gives the delinquent a wake-up call with several headbutts that got them counting again. Then Lightning easily picks up Duncan and flexes his skills to the crowd, who were cheering for the large athlete.
"Look at that! How perfectly built Lightning is?" Chris said, impressive by this feat of Lightning, who sends Duncan down in the mat.
"What a Gorilla Press Slam by Lightning! And Duncan simply rolls out of the ring…" Excalibur added. "Lightning also took an exit from the ring and somehow, he's on the other side. What is he thinking about?"
To answer Excalibur's question, Lightning easily observes Duncan's movement as the latter starts to get back up, holding the apron for balance; the former gestured a spinning motion with his finger, signaling for an upcoming collision. In short, Lightning made an almost home run as he sends Duncan to the barricade with a vicious Shoulder Tackle, gaining a chant and cheer for the big player.
"Wow! To the barricade goes Duncan with that massive shoulder block! It delighted the fans inside the Globe Theatre!" Excalibur exclaimed.
"Lightning was like a bullet train there!" Chris added.
After taunting with the crowd, Lightning sends Duncan back inside the squared circle where he immediately pins Duncan.

Duncan kicks out!
Lightning asked the referee, who surely only counted two after the move was executed. While Duncan is down, Lightning took his time to clutch his injured leg that was punished by the juvie criminal.
"Lightning takes a deep breath and Duncan is slowly backing up from his feet…" Excalibur said, observing every action from the ring. "And now he picks up Duncan… going for a Powerslam… and rolls through… into the ANKLE LOCK! IN THE CENTER OF THE RING!"
"He could not get himself resting to get a better lock!" Chris said.
"Duncan is cranking that leg of Lightning! He is in big, big trouble!" Excalibur said.
Suddenly, Lightning was able to use his weight to his advantage as he turns around to face Duncan and uses his legs to push him to the ropes. But Duncan able to counter with a Jackknife Pin, surprising Lightning.

Lightning was able to kick out in time!
"Lightning was able to escape the pin!"
Duncan attempts a clothesline to Lightning, who stood up but was able to duck as both bounces to the ropes on different sides but was ultimately succeeded by Lightning's Pounce that got Duncan flying across the ring near the apron, wowing the audience.
"OH MY GOD! WHAT HAVE WE JUST WITNESSED?" Chris exclaimed loudly.
"Duncan just got sent to the air with that big pounce by Lightning!" Excalibur added.
Lightning got back up on his feet as he makes his way to Duncan, who was in the corner, trying to stand up. The bigger competitor hits the smaller individual with multiple clotheslines that got him dazed in the light.
"Lightning went straight to the other side and measures Duncan on the other… Duncan able to avoid the upcoming collision… ENZUIGIRI to the side of the head of Lightning, caught him flushed!" Excalibur said. "Duncan bounces… OH! BIG LARIAT TAKES DOWN THE BIG MAN!"
"But he didn't go for the cover!" Chris added, noticing his presence climbing up to the top. "Now I think I know why he didn't go for a pin…"
"Duncan is on top, throwing everything he is got! DIVING SPLASH to Lightning! This could be it, Duncan went for the cover…"

Lightning kicks out, staying alive in this match! This did not sit well for Duncan who argued with the referee, who stands his own decision.
"Let's go Lightning!" and "Let's go Duncan!" chants were heard from the audience inside.
"Looks like Duncan got a little steam ahead over the referee," Chris said, observing the current situation.
Duncan firstly taunts the crowd, who instantly booed him for his simple gesture, showing the signs of an incoming doom for Lightning. The athlete attempts to rose up but was stopped by Duncan, who yanked the damaged leg and begins to torture it again with the Ankle Lock! Lightning is in jeopardy of getting tapped.
"Ankle Lock in the center of the ring! This could spell trouble for Lightning!" Excalibur said. "Every second counts for Duncan right now!"
"He needs to keep an eye on Lightning to see if he's still trying to survive…" Chris added.
"And just what you said, Lightning begins to move and tries to pull himself up towards the bottom rope!"
As soon as he noticed that he is nearby the ropes, with his quick thinking, he instinctively went over from the ankle to the arm of Lightning, attempting to apply his Delinquent Justice (Crossface) submission but his weight was a hindrance itself.
"He is having trouble getting that move locked in!" Chris said. "Oh God, what is he doing?!"
"Look at Duncan go with those cross faces to Lightning!" Excalibur noticing the shots from Duncan was brutal. "And Delinquent Justice has locked in! Will Lightning get the hang of it? Will he tap?"
Some of the fans chanted "TAP!", showing support for the delinquent teenager. Despite the weight problem, Duncan was able to get the grip effortlessly around his face.
"COME ON! TAP!" Duncan shouted, continuing to suffer Lightning from his grasps.
"It's almost a minute and Lightning is surprisingly keeps on hold to himself and his opportunity!" Chris exclaimed.
"Wait a minute! I think…" Excalibur paused, seeing Lightning makes a slight move over Duncan. "Lightning slowly move sideways with a cradle!"

"Look at the test of strength of Lightning, he really has done his homework! He lifts Duncan slowly but surely!"

The bell rang in succession as the whole crowd and Lightning himself were in shock after the ringing of the bell.
"Here is your winner, Duncan!" Chef announced from the timekeeper's area.
"WHOAAA! What just happened?!" Chris asked, also baffled at the sudden finish of the match.
"Chris, Duncan has stolen a victory from Lightning! From out of nowhere!" Excalibur answered.
The referee raises Duncan's hand as the latter indulges the victory that gained. However, one is not surprised when Lightning attacked Duncan from behind with a Double Axe Handle, interrupting the now short-lived celebration as he continuously stomps Duncan's torso.
"And the beating continues for Duncan as Lightning sends him outside…" Excalibur said. "I think Lightning has got something on his sleeve since it finished prematurely and Duncan doesn't know where he is right now."
Duncan soon starts to rise from his feet as he was unknowingly watched by Lightning. When he turns around, he got back down again as Lightning takes him down with a Lightning Rod (Spear).
"OH! LIGHTNING ROD BY LIGHTNING HIMSELF!" Excalibur exclaimed.
Duncan was now clutching his stomach in pain. Soon after, the referee stops the future attempts of Lightning as he sends Lightning off, who raised both hands and walks out of through the entranceway.
Surprisingly, the reception from the post-match assault has drastically changed, Lightning has been heavily booed by the crowd, the evidence was on the front row, which was heavily gestured by the finger from them.
"Wow, that was interesting. The tables have turned here on Globe Theatre!" Chris paused as he hears the crowd cheering for Duncan, who was guided by the referee. "And yeah, that certainly seals it. The nature of this match has changed! And yet, Duncan still has a match later on! How will he respond to this? Will he able to compete tonight?"
"The answer will be revealed tonight and coming up next is the last quarterfinals match between Trent and Owen. Who will complete the set at this tournament? We will be right back after these messages!" Excalibur said.
The camera shot Duncan and the referee making their way out of the entranceway while the crowd was cheering for the damaged delinquent.
