United Supreme Pro Wrestling: Firestorm Episode 1 Part 2
Venue: Thompson-Boling Arena
Date: February 17th, 2020
State/City: Knoxville, Tennessee
(A shot of Knoxville was shown by the cameras hovering over the city before it pans back over to the University of Tennessee. The cameras decided to pan back inside the arena as they shot various celebrities spotted in the crowd. Those being Mayor of Knox County Glenn Jacobs, Governor of Tennessee Bill Lee, and NFL football player Peyton Manning as the crowd cheered loudly for them.)
"It's President's Day out here in Knoxville and we have some special guests for our first show. We have Mayor Glenn Jacobs, who everyone knows as Kane from the WWE as well as the current governor Bill Lee just elected over a year ago. We also have former Colts and Broncos player Peyton Manning sitting ringside and we are slowly gaining that popularity boost after our first hour." Russ explained.
"It's great to have a fellow wrestler out here supporting us and showing the love for his home state while he's at it. That's what Firestorm is all about here." Greg added.
"Speaking of special guests, we may hear from King Randy tonight after he has been taking a hiatus from his career." Jasmynn stated.
"That's correct. Earlier before our last match, King Randy arrived in a limo with some new bodyguards of his. We can only speculate as to what he wants tonight." Russ explained.
"His ego couldn't take the time away and the spotlight is bound to be on him tonight. He's such a blowhard." Greg added.
"We also have to say that our first special Friday Night CageZone with be live on streaming services such as Twitch, Hulu, and Amazon Prime. We have only Firestorm for TV services, but that doesn't mean we won't do our best to reach out to the fans so they don't miss a single moment of action." Russ explained.
"Every match will be held inside this unforgivable structure. They say the Hell in a Cell is the biggest life-threatening playhouse, but they shouldn't sell his little brother short." Jasmynn replied.
"And we have a good few matches lined up for that event as we will have a debuting Marcus Sloan taking on Mr. Party Central, Max Sampson. Max likes poking bears and he's bound to get the claws this Friday as Marcus looks to shut him up." Greg explained.
"After tonight, we also have Orange Cassidy and Andrew Marsh in a rematch. This was just made official by Hank as Marsh wants one more shot at his former adversary hoping to derail his chances of moving onto the tournament semi-finals next week." Russ stated.
"Don't forget about our current matches tonight. We have the official return of the Bloodline to the wrestling world in our main event. We can only wait and see how they will fare as they enter the confines of Pound City." Jasmynn added.
("Hail to the King" by Avenged Sevenfold)
(The crowd started booing automatically as the same suited men that escorted King Randy into the building came out as they started taking a knee. The heel himself came in his suit and crown, but with an added purple robe to follow. King Randy outstretched his robe as golden pyro started coming up from the sides as the suited henchmen bowed to their ruler.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome, King Randy!" Justin announced.
"This man screams ego as he no longer wants to hurt people badly, but he wants the spotlight on him and him alone." Greg stated.
"A year long absence from the indies has given us speculation that King Randy was planning out his next moves going forward. This can't be good for the start of our company." Russ added.
(King Randy walks down the ramp slowly like royalty making the waving gesture and smirking to his booing haters. The henchmen protected him on all sides as he made it ringside before a suited man headed up the steps to open the ropes for him. King Randy walked up the steel steps chuckling as he nodded stepping inside the ring and another henchman fetched a microphone for him handing it off to his king. All six men soon guarded the outside of the ring meant to curtail any intruders wishing to get in.)
"Peasants…" King Randy began speaking as the crowd wasn't having any of it.
(The crowd was booing Randy out of the building as the king stood there trying to snap his fingers for attention, but the booing got louder.)
"I don't think this guy got the memo." Greg muttered.
"Peasants…" King Randy tried speaking again, but there was rising chants of "YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK! YOU SUCK!"
(The king smirked and chuckled at the chants as he didn't seem fazed by the hate and he brushed his robe away a little before trying to speak once more.)
"Your king has returned to lead you all out of obscurity and you repay him with improper decorum. How very sad." King Randy explained as the boos grew louder.
"I don't think he should be saying anything with how long he's been away." Jasmynn stated.
(King Randy walked around the ring as the crowd was booing him to oblivion in a metaphorical sense. He smiles at the heat he gets and continues.)
"As for the reason I have returned, that's very simple to answer. I have officially signed with USPW and will be appearing here every week I can." King Randy explained.
"So no private vacations he decides to take?" Greg asked in annoyed tone.
"I've made amends with dear master Strongbow and we have put our differences aside knowing the star power your king brings to his kingdom. We are better men for it." King Randy replied.
"You heard it first that King Randy has signed with USPW and will be appearing here for Firestorm." Russ stated.
"In addition, I'm also one of the participants in the tournament for the World Heavyweight Championship. What a way to regain the glory that is rightfully mine and show all you peasants the person your attention should be focused on." King Randy stated as he pointed his scepter at the crowd.
(The crowd was getting frustrated at this display as the king was eating at their skin and Randy loved every minute of it. He chuckled to himself as he twirled his scepter thinking of other insulting things to say.)
"I'm a king everywhere and every ring I step into. From Mexico, to Britain, to Canada, to Japan, no one is mightier than his Majesty. Nobody possesses this much star power and when I defeat every single person in my way to get that world title, everyone will know the true champion of USPW. The hero that you all have needed this whole time." King Randy boasted.
("Immortals" by Fall Out Boy)
(The crowd started cheering loudly as Cody Fireheart started coming out in his hoodie as he tore the main hood off and he raised his hands shouting towards the fans. King Randy gritted his teeth getting his time on the air taken away from him as Cody smirked twirling a mic in his hands.)
"The dorky king has graced us with his presence once more and the crowd couldn't care any more about it." Cody explained.
"What is the meaning of this?! Who is this scoundrel?!" King Randy recoiled as he pointed his scepter at the bird man.
"I just couldn't help, but hear from the back about this bullshit of how you're a king around the world when other people do it better. Like me for instance when I have killed it in Mexico and Japan. I've won just about every junior title they had." Cody boasted.
"Junior doesn't match a king, you peasant! I have accomplished much more than you!" King Randy retorted.
"I don't need some fancy crown to be a king. I'm in the prime of my career and I ain't stopping just yet, because you feel that putting people down makes you the top dog around here." Cody explained.
"Why are you even out here? Shouldn't you be back there getting worms from the dirt you stand on?" King Randy asked.
"Simple enough….you mentioned the tournament…well, I'm in it as well after getting a good talk in with Hank in the back. We have a mutual hatred of you so this really makes sense." Cody explained.
"This all for spite then…it matters not as you won't make it past the first round. Even if you do, you'll have me to contend with me in the finals." King Randy stated.
("Officer of the Day March" by United States Marine Band)
(The crowd started up the booing again as Logan Gage came out wearing a maroon varsity football jacket with a Philadelphia Eagles jersey underneath and blue jeans with black boots. He stroked his face as he pointed at Cody and then at the king before he asked a mic from production backstage.)
"Looks like the self-proclaimed best in New Jersey wants to say a few things to these two." Jasmynn stated.
"I can't take this conversation seriously when a bird talks to a king. People want a world champion with some credibility and you two are laughing stocks in my eyes."
Logan retorted.
"And you think a former varsity quarterback dumbass is what these people want to see?" Cody asked with a raised eyebrow behind his mask.
"Listen here, peacock! I'm the best wrestler in the New Jersey/New York area and I would much obliged a little respect. I don't think you noticed, but it's you and me on that bracket sheet in the back! I wanna pummel you in that ring, but I wouldn't hesitate to do it right now." Logan threatened as he got in Cody's face.
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, let's not make any rash decisions. As royalty, it's much fitting to see gladiators go at it in the heat of battle, but it doesn't exclude that this is my moment of glory so you both had better take your issues to the locker room if you wish to fight like savages." King Randy explained as he tried shooing both boys off.
"Don't think this means I won't come down there and take that crown to shove up your ass! You'll be the next one to taste a good tackle!" Logan screamed.
("Dalton Wants It All Now" by Unknown)
(The crowd starts cheering loudly as The Boys (six of them) suddenly appear with giant fans that they covered the the black curtain with before whisking them away to show Dalton Castle in a royal blue suit and red tie as he blows kisses to the crowd. He smiles at the approval before he is handed a mic.)
"I'm sorry, gentlemen, but we were talking about greatness out here and I just had to make an appearance. As it so happens, I myself is in this lovely tournament for that big gold belt and it would look fascinating around these hips. Not only that, I would make one hell of a legit champion for every one of these fans as they love me and I love them." Dalton explained as he got cheers back in response.
"The flashy peacock is in this? Give me a barf bag!" Logan shouted.
"Just aim elsewhere. This suit cost me a pretty penny." Dalton retorted.
(As everyone was bickering with each other, Hank came on screen as everyone turned their attention to the monitor.)
"Gentlemen, gentlemen, I can't have everyone hogging the spotlight and keep these fans from seeing a decent show. Now, I understand we have a tournament for the world title and everyone wants it, but you gotta get past the quarter finals first. As I understand, Logan Gage is scheduled to face Cody Fireheart in the tournament which happens later tonight. I've also decided to save the last two quarter final matches for our first CageZone episode where Dalton gets to face the king of the indies, Ryan "Fireball" Brown!" Hank announced which made the crowd cheer up a storm.
(Dalton nodded and shrugged his shoulders always looking to give a show to the fans.)
"As for you King Randy, you want to take over the show…well, I got a surprise in store for you. Your opponent will be someone that I had to go through hoops and pull strings to get. He's here now, in fact." Hank explained.
(The crowd went ballistic as the camera pans over to Jason David Frank wearing a normal black suit and sunglasses as he takes them off. The former Power Rangers actor stares down as the king stares in utter shock.)
"This may be a whole new experience for me, but I'm kicking your ass so it's worth it. See you in the cage, king." Jason stated as he did a mocking wave.
"What a signing Hank managed to score!" Russ exclaimed.
"King Randy looks like he pissed himself." Greg teased as he chuckled to himself.
"The rest of our quarter finals have been added to the card and each will take place inside that steel cage. What a start for USPW!" Jasmynn cheered.
(King Randy gulped and remain calm as his servants came in and tried consoling him so he wouldn't have a panic attack.)
Commercial Break
(Hank was on his cellphone backstage in his personal office as he chuckled and talked with the person on the other line.)
"Yeah, thanks for doing that. Dinner for next week? I could grab some grub, but my immune system might take a beating. That's not disgusting to say." Hank stated.
(A knock came to the door as Hank started packing away his phone before telling the person to come on in. A man wearing a black cotton shirt, khaki pants, fingerless gloves, and black boots and sporting black hair walks in.)
"Ah, you're Mason Yates, correct?" Hank asked.
"That's right. I'm always ready to beat down some people and take things beyond my limit." Mason replied.
"That's what the people like seeing. Reminds them of the old days. As a matter of fact, the next match coming up is right up your alley. It's a Fatal-Four Way Match for the Hardcore Championship. Crowning our first one." Hank explained.
"Are you now? I'm in." Mason stated with a nod.
"Make a killing out there, kid." Hank requested as he slapped Mason on the back.
"I'll try not to make that literal." Mason teased as he walked off leaving Hank to himself again.
(Hank chuckled to himself as he flipped his phone back open to call again, but his contact went straight to voicemail making the commissioner visibly bummed.)
("Highway Junkie" by Gary Allan)
(A truck horn was heard from the garage as a semi-truck came in, minus the attached trailer, as the brakes were put on allowing a brown-haired wide man wearing a black tank top, sleeveless jacket, blue jeans, and brown work boots to get out stepping off. He adjusted his belt heading towards backstage and using a shortcut to get to the ring.)
"The following contest is a Fatal-Four Way Match set for one-fall! It is to determine the inaugural USPW Hardcore Champion! Introducing first, from Sioux Falls, South Dakota, weighing 267 lbs. "Truck Driver" Corey Allison!" Justin announced.
(Corey was seen backstage as he grabbed a garbage bin placed to the side as kendo sticks were inside and he went through another curtain to the main stage. He stepped onto the ramp heading down to the ring raising a fist in the air.)
"This is another graduate from House of Hardcore and he has even done bloody battles with the ECW legends getting victories over Dreamer and Sandman. Corey knows how to handle the land of extreme and it seems he's going to barrel through to get the title tonight." Russ stated.
"He's also a part-time truck driver and the open road is his kingdom. I can't tell you the stories he recounted of getting into street fights." Greg added.
(Corey set the bin near the steps as he heads up and through the ropes. He grabs himself a kendo stick raising it high and getting on the lower right corner showing off to the crowd. Corey points his stick to the new silver-plated title on the lavender pillow. It had barbed wire symbols all on it with a skull with a crown on it. It also had 'Hardcore' written on top and 'Champion' on the bottom as Corey hops down slinging his weapon over his shoulder.)
("Dead Flowers" by Dale Oliver)
(The crowd sees red lines of blood go through the titantron as 'Mason Yates' was shown in bright red before the camera turned down to a black-haired man wearing a black shirt, khaki shorts, black pants with only one leg covered and black boots. He looked into the crowd before coming down the ramp with his hands outstretched.)
"His opponents first, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, weighing 223 lbs., Mason Yates!" Jason announced.
"This man is something else. He was in the WWE, Ring of Honor, Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, Combat Zone Wrestling and Insane Championship Wrestling. The sources tell me that he is a bit of an oddball." Greg explained.
"From my notes, he hasn't come here empty handed. He's been a former CZW World
Champion, ROH Six-Man Tag Team Champion twice, ROH Television Champion, and Intercontinental Champion from WWE." Jasmynn read.
"Mason has also had visits to a mental hospital and found his talent for fighting there, but one has to wonder what he can do in a hardcore environment. I just hope he doesn't put the others at risk." Russ stated.
(Mason stops at the bottom of the ramp and squats down eyeing Corey before running straight in the ring sitting cross-legged scaring some of the audience members. He turns around shifting into the lower left corner and banging his head back on the pads.)
("II Bell Canto" by Ministri)
(The audience turned attention to a tall Italian man with bushy black hair wearing a black singlet with red lines down the sides. He had on some red Air Jordan shoes as he beat his chest while a black-haired Italian man followed him down the ramp with a black leather jacket, white dress shirt, blue jeans, and black shoes on. The taller man's manager lit a cigar as he mouthed to the audience of his wrestler's great size.)
"From Venice, Italy, being accompanied to the ring by Martin Rolli, standing at 7ft tall and weighing 370 lbs., Quintonnnnnnnnn Grimmmmmmmmes!" Justin announced.
"These two men ruled the independents in Italy back home dominating any wrestlers who came across them." Greg announced.
"Quinton is a three-time hardcore champion back where he is from in the promotion IICW and Martin is a former tag team champion with Quinton as well." Jasmynn added.
"The guy's size is a stand alone impressive observation, but it can be easily exploited so it's best he keep everyone around him at bay." Russ remarked.
(Quinton got on the apron stepping over the top rope glaring at both Mason and Corey as he motioned that the Hardcore Title was coming home with him. Martin took his place ringside leaning on the apron.)
("Sicklike" by Octane)
(The crowd went into a frenzy seeing the very owner of Combat Zone Wrestling and one of the most extreme superstars to step into the ring, DJ Hyde, make his way to the ring wearing a black trenchcoat with a black singlet underneath with skulls lining up the sides and "I Made Hardcore, Bitch!" written on the back in blood red. He raised his arms heading down the ramp.)
"From Newark, Delaware, weighing 280 lbs., he is the owner of Combat Zone Wrestling, DJ Hyde!" Justin announced.
"Aw shit! Everyone is genuinely screwed!" Greg exclaimed.
"No words describe the carnage that DJ Hyde brings to his matches. I purely think he just wants blood to spill." Jasmynn added.
"One thing is for sure that this match won't leave anyone unscathed especially Mr. Hyde himself. Plenty of weapons under that very ring for this man to get his hands on to use." Russ added.
(Hyde comes ringside slipping off his coat and stepping up the steel steps helping himself to a kendo stick coming in through the ropes as he points at all three of his opponents. The ref raises the Hardcore Championship up in the air before handing it ringside so everyone could stay out of the way.)
"It seems we are ready to start and I hope we have a big enough medical staff to treat these four insane men." Greg stated.
The bell rang as Hyde went after Quinton tearing into him with the kendo stick while Allison went to town on Mason hitting him in the gut with his own kendo stick. Mason laughed maniacally like he loved the pain inflicted on him before head butting Corey away from him. Mason then hit a dropkick sending Corey into the upper right corner while Mason ran hitting a Double Knee Driver into the corner. Corey bent on his hands and knees as Mason giggled rubbing his head while DJ Hyde kicked down Quinton in the upper left corner. Mason scratched at the back of DJ and that was a bad move as the owner of CZW turned around kneeing Mason in the gut before hammering down an arm Yates's back.
"Mason may be crazy, but that doesn't mean he's got the brains to contend with a psychopath." Russ stated.
Hyde then grabbed Mason and put him into powerbomb position, but Quinton got up hitting a brain chop to Hyde's head taking both men down. Mason rolled away to safety as Quinton brings Hyde up hitting a Backbreaker on him making Hyde scream in pain. Quinton stomps down on the back of Hyde more as he struck the head of his veteran adversary. Hyde went onto the apron before Quinton hit another brain chop sending Hyde to the outside floor. Corey waited for Quinton to turn around into a shot by a third kendo stick he claimed and hit Quinton over and over in the back taking down the giant. Corey then brings Quinton up hitting a DDT and hooks the left leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Quinton pushes up right after two.
"Corey trying to gain his foot in the door by taking on the giant. That's gonna be the test for all three men especially with a common goal on the line." Jasmynn added.
Corey rolls the giant away before Mason hits a Drive-By Knee Strike to Corey taking down the truck driver. Mason then laughs as the crowd cringes a bit from this act. Mason drops down and rolls out of the ring near the main announce table going to collect a steel chair from ringside as a producer quickly got out of the way. Yates slid in and slammed the chair on the mat as he whacked an unknown Corey in the head before proceeding to hit his opponent three more times in the stomach. Corey spit out some water as he groaned before Mason discarded the chair. Mason kicked Corey in the back before getting him up.
"Mason wants to leave his mark on this world and he might do it with Corey's face." Greg stated.
Mason gets Corey in the lower left corner and slaps the truck driver repeatedly before Quinton comes over throwing Mason to the canvas. Mason gets back up eating a Big Boot from the Italian native before Quinton kicks Corey down in the corner and uses his knee to smush the face of the truck driver. Martin chuckles as he lights another cigar before Quinton gets Corey up and lifts him on his shoulders. Hyde gets in the ring acquiring a sledgehammer from under the ring and then used it to hit Quinton in the head before the giant executed a Samoan Drop on Corey! The crowd cheered at the move as Hyde raised the sledgehammer.
"DJ Hyde killing two birds with one stone and takes back control of the match." Russ announced.
Hyde gets out of the ring and searches more for weapons bringing out a wet floor sign and a cookie tray sheet before sliding them in. He gets in taking the cookie sheet to whack Mason over the head taking down the maniac and then uses the floor sign on the knees of Yates. Yates cries out in pain as Hyde gets him up before hitting a Sit-Out Chokebomb on Mason before hooking his right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Quinton broke up the count.
Mason rolled out of the ring to consult his wounds before Quinton kicked Hyde down on the canvas and grabbed him whipping him into the ropes before hitting a Belly-To-Belly Suplex. Quinton then turned to Corey getting the truck driver on the ropes punching his gut several times and whipping him off the ropes executing a Big Boot making Corey fall flat on the canvas. Quinton puts on foot on Corey's chest.
"1…." The ref counted, but Corey got a shoulder up.
"Quinton just tossing his competition around and taking full control. Looks like Corey could be in more trouble." Greg stated.
Quinton gets Corey up before tossing him outside next to the ramp as Quinton exits the ring over the top rope. Quinton gets under the ring grabbing a table out as the crowd chanted "YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!" to seeing one of the all-time favorite weapons in hardcore matches. Quinton starts putting up the legs and sets the table up near the ramp as Corey sits against the barricade getting his bearings. Quinton gets Corey up slamming his head on the apron a few times before taking him over to the table slamming his head into it.
"Quinton thinking chaotic thoughts and will be looking to send Corey straight to hell in a hand basket." Russ observed.
Mason starts heading in the ring not noticing DJ Hyde getting up to his feet before he looked back and laughed running the ropes to hit a Suicide Dive to both Corey and Quinton sending all three men through the single wooden table! The crowd cheered and chanted "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" as all three men laid in the ruins of the weapon they went through. DJ Hyde started getting up being the only man standing as he had lots of thoughts in his head getting out on the other side of the ring buying the time he needs for a great setup. Hyde searches under the ring for anything useful for his plan as he brings out another table and then one more table. He starts stacking them up near the announce table as Mason starts stirring awake.
"Mason putting his life on the line may have been a smart move, but Hyde has his own fun planned." Jasmynn stated.
Mason gets in the ring grabbing the wet floor sign and threw it at Hyde which struck Hyde in the head as the promoter stared down the lunatic. Mason told him to bring it on from the outside as Hyde comes in trying for a clothesline, but Mason ducked and hit a Running Dropkick. Hyde goes down as Mason gets up running the ropes, hopping over Hyde, running the opposing ropes, hopping over Hyde again, running the other ropes and climaxes with a Running Senton Bomb before he pins the CZW owner.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Martin pulls the referee out of the ring.
"Martin Rolli looking out for Quinton saving this match." Jasmynn observed.
Mason yelled at Martin before getting to his feet and exiting through the middle rope. He gets into an argument with Martin as the two go back and forth with a war of words. Hyde started getting to his feet as Corey stirred as well from the table wreck before Mason pushed Martin down. The ref tried turning Mason's focus back to the match before the lunatic went for the wet floor sign getting back in waiting for Hyde to get up. Yates tried hitting Hyde, but Hyde ducks hitting a Superkick to Mason as the wet floor sign went outside. Hyde then grabbed a fourth kendo stick hitting Mason on the back a few times breaking the stick in a matter of seconds.
"Hyde really going to give it to Mason for all those shots he took at him." Greg stated.
Hyde grabs Mason and shoves him outside near the double tables tower as Hyde goes after him. Hyde then picked up Mason hitting a Running Powerslam on the announce table as he moves the cover off and took away the monitors telling the commentators to move it. Hyde got the chairs out of the way before climbing onto the barricade leaving Mason on his back. Hyde then screamed "CZW FOR LIFE, BITCHES!" before hitting an elbow drop through the announce table making the crowd go ballistic! They started chanting "CZW! CZW! CZW! CZW! CZW!" as Hyde writhes in pain and Mason held his chest.
"They destroyed our announce table! That really says something about our first episode." Russ stated as he gathered what papers he could.
Corey slides in the ring before heading out to collect Hyde to shove him into the barricade. Hyde groaned as his whole body hurt from his recent move and Corey went over to grab the garbage bin as he placed it right up against Hyde. Corey stepped back as he took a running start hitting a Corner Cannonball into Hyde breaking the garbage bin against the promoter and taking out a part of the barricade as the crowd cheered even louder! Both men were down for the count as the referee checked on them both. This left Quinton to get up as Martin helped the giant to his feet.
"This is mayhem at ringside! Cannonballs into the barricade! Tables being massacred! It's all crazy!" Russ screamed.
Quinton was up and back at it as he went to grab the top half of the steel stairs before pushing them through the middle rope. Martin went around the ring grabbing Mason as he shoved the lunatic into the ring to be prey for his tag partner. Quinton smirked as he grabbed Mason up before whipping him into the ropes and hitting a Spinebuster on the steel steps making the crowd cringe. Quinton rolled Mason off hoping that was it pinning Mason.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Mason grabbed the bottom rope with his hand breaking the count.
The ref pointed to Mason's hand on the bottom rope as Quinton couldn't believe this maniac wanted to keep going. Quinton gets Mason up and whips him into the ropes again, but Mason gets on the apron instead proceeding to mock Quinton with sticking out his tongue. Quinton comes after Mason, but he fell over the top rope being pulled down by Mason. Mason laughed as he then hopped on the middle rope before hitting a Springboard DDT on Quinton to the floor! Mason gets up as he pushes one table off the other before grabbing Quinton and leaning him on the table.
"Mason is looking to put the giant down, but here comes Martin!" Greg announced.
Martin started climbing onto the upper right corner as he looked to stop Mason from taking out his partner. As Martin jumped, Mason caught him mid-air taking out Martin with a spear through Quinton and the table! All three wrestlers rolled around in pain as the ruins of the table were visible. Corey started getting up as he grabbed Hyde and shoved him into the ring looking to end this as he rolled inside. He stayed low as Corey seemed to be preparing for a move on his own and Hyde began getting up. Hyde got up before Corey ran at him, but Hyde came through hitting a Lariat! Hyde then hooked both legs of his opponent.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Corey kicked out at 2.4!
"Hyde's famous Lariat and that isn't enough to get the job done." Jasmynn stated.
Hyde was angry and he got up hoping for another end grabbing Corey up hitting uppercuts on the truck driver before he whipped him into the opposing ropes. He tried for another Lariat, but Corey ducked and hit a Roundhouse Kick stunning the promoter. He then ran the ropes himself hitting a Truck Stop (Deep Six) on Hyde. He then hooked Hyde's left leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Mason hits a Senton Bomb to break the count.
Mason gets Corey up and pushes him away into the ropes as he hits a Scoop Slam and starts signaling for the finish. Corey starts rising as Mason sets up for Clinic Lockdown (Brogue Kick) as he ran at the truck driver, but Corey lifted Mason in the air hitting a Pop-Up Powerslam! Corey then gets Mason up and quickly whipped him into the opposing ropes hitting another Truck Stop before getting into the lower right corner. Corey stomps his left foot hoping for his finisher as Hyde began getting up and Mason staggers to his feet. Hyde made it to his feet seeing Corey revving up his finisher.
"Hyde and Corey eyeing Mason as this fella is getting a special send-off!" Russ announced.
Mason rises as Hyde and Corey ran trying to hit clotheslines to the lunatic, but he rolled out of the way allowing both men to hit each other taking one another out. Mason immediately pinned and hooked Corey's legs.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the bell rang.
("Dead Flowers" by Dale Oliver)
"Here is your winner and the new USPW Hardcore Champion, Mason Yates!" Justin announced.
(Mason laughs maniacally as he is handed his newly won title hugging it closely and starts getting up. He gets on the lower left corner raising his new title.)
"This maniac thought on his feet and he got rewarded in the end. Very strong showing by all competitors." Russ announced.
As Mason jumped down, the giant that is Quinton Grimes got into the ring staring down Mason as the lunatic raised his belt mocking the angry monster. Quinton smirked and hit a Big Boot on Mason as he grabs the maniac up grabbing his throat before coming over to the steel steps. Quinton then hits a Chokeslam on Mason to the top of the stairs making Mason cringed and writhed in pain. He then hooked both legs of Mason.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Quinton grabbed his newly won title.
"A little something we forgot to mention is that the Hardcore Title is up for grabs 24/7 so that brings a new prestige to this belt." Greg announced.
"Quinton now holds the title, but it can be taken any time needed and the giant is a walking target." Jasmynn added.
(Quinton climbs over the top rope and lands on the floor hoisting the title over his shoulder as Martin pats his back displaying his partner as a beast and the next big thing.)
(Backstage, the new interviewer, Leslie Knuckles, is a woman with short pink hair, a green floral shirt and black sleeveless jacket with blue jeans and white sneakers. She was on standby with a mic in her hand.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, I'm Leslie Knuckle hoping you guys are having a great time so far tonight. What an awesome hardcore contest we just had and I'm sure there's more brutality to come tonight. As for now, my guest at this very moment is Nightmare in Pound City." Leslie announced.
(The camera turned to see a skinny man wearing skull face paint and dirty blonde hair with streaks of red and green in it. He wore a black jumpsuit and black boots as he picked at an apple.)
"Hey Zach, where's Pound City?" Leslie asked.
"CJ and Tyler have their preparations to make. I'm the messenger for my boys and I have a particular special message for the Bloodline. You boys are at the very borders of this very cruel town and I would advise you to turn back, but that's a presumption that you'd be smart to take the road less traveled. This is the day where your homecoming dies and you three will be lost forever in the eternal abyss of darkness." Zach replied as he stared coldly into the camera.
"What's your strategies for combating the Bloodline? You're dealing with some stiff competition." Leslie pointed out.
"The Bloodline are legends in the making for sure, but legends always die. The darkness is a very brutal enemy which feasts upon those too weak to handle themselves. It will soon fall on the Bloodline and their corpses will be food for the vultures guarding the entrance to Pound City. Get ready to face the nightmare, boys." Zach stated as he went about his way.
