United Supreme Pro Wrestling: Firestorm Episode 4
Venue: USPW Global Studios/AllState Arena
Date: March 9th, 2020
State/City: Long Island, New York/Rosemont, Illinois
(An instrumental version of "Ready for This" by All Good Things plays as a shot of the USPW Global Studios building is played as the cameras head inside with the next shot being a zoomed in shot of the USPW logo on a flat screen television. The camera zooms out to see Hank and Russ sitting at a conference table with spotlights over them and two entrance ways with black curtains draped over them. There is also two more flat screen TV's to both sides of the commentators for the evening and they each had the Firestorm logo on them.)
"Welcome everyone to Monday Night Firestorm live from the Global Studios and main headquarters for United Supreme Pro Wrestling. It's different than most nights as I would usually be at the main announce table with Greg and Jasmynn, but I'm here with the man that makes it happen, commissioner Hank Strongbow Williams." Russ stated as he wore his normal black tuxedo.
"Thanks for the introduction and all you do, Russ. I like to give the Monday after pay-per-views off so everyone can take extra time to go to the next location which will be our second CageZone episode and give them time to rest so they can be ready to work. Tonight, we will be showing three pre-show matches that happened at Rush Hour, but that's before we went on the air. We have them in our possession and me and Russ will fill in for commentary." Hank explained as he wore a blue track suit and took a sip of water from his mug.
"As for what will happened in the Studios here tonight, we have a round of special exclusive interviews with superstars to get their reaction to their matches in the aftermath of Rush Hour. Our main interview is a sit-down talk with Cody Fireheart and new USPW World Heavyweight Champion Jason David Frank getting their insight to what it felt like to be on the main stage together and their experience testing one another in the ring." Russ announced.
"We also have the current United States Champion Ivan Salkov here tonight to see his reaction to allegedly breaking the left arm of Marcus. We also have a medical update on Marcus's condition." Hank added.
"Before any of that, we have our first pre-show match where the debut of Jervis Cottonbelly happened and he took on former Rockers member Marty Jannetty. A classic rookie versus veteran matchup on the fly. Let's take it to last night." Russ announced as the camera zoomed in on the middle television screen.
(The scene changes to the inside of the AllState Arena as the fans were getting pumped for the eventual start of Rush Hour. However, this is the pre-show before any of the main show matches happened and there was no one seated at the announce tables as no commentary would be provided for the following three matches. However, Hank and Russ would be providing talking points as the matches come on from the Global Studios building.)
("Rock Out" by Jimmy Hart and JJ Maguire)
(Light cheers came from the crowd as Marty Jannetty came out pointing to different sections in the audience and he raised a fist in the air. He wore a Reebok black shirt, orange tights with black dots all over them, white boots with hanging yellow ribbons, and a bright blue headband as he slapped fives with fans coming down the ramp.)
"The following contest is set for one-fall! Introducing first, from Columbus, Georgia, weighing 234 lbs., Marty Jannetty!" Richard announced.
"Marty was just a youngling getting into the world of professional wrestling while I defended our country in the Persian Gulf. He can be hardheaded at times and can let the fame get to him, but Marty knows when to get serious in the ring." Hank stated.
"His last appearance was in the battle royal we had to determine a #1 Contender for the USPW United States Championship and he did get a good chunk of the way through. Being 60 hasn't hindered his abilities just yet." Russ added.
(Marty threw his headband into the audience cheering as he headed up the steel steps and through the middle rope getting on top of the upper left corner showing his fists.)
("Lover's Lane" by Unknown)
(The crowd cheered louder for a man coming out in a light blue jacket with a brown cane in hand as he also wore a yellow mask with a silver glitter patch over his right eye and a black patch with a slanted black line just over his left eye. His mouth had a black patch over it to fit the shape of a mouth and he wore a black top hat. He wore a black singlet with a patch of fur on the stomach (front and back) and he wore yellow tights with black squiggly lines down to his black boots and a white patch on his behind saying "GENTLEMEN" in black coloring. He waved to the fans starting to run down the ramp hugging everyone in sight.)
"His opponent, from London, England, weighing 200 lbs., he is the World's Sweetest Man, "Gentleman" Jervis Cottonbelly!" Richard announced.
"Jervis making his official USPW debut tonight and he is just a bowl of rainbows spilling out into the arena. Everyone just getting behind this man." Hank stated.
"He's a member of the roster on Chikara and a 2-time WrestleCircus Sideshow Champion as well as a former DDT Pro Ironman Heavymetalweight Champion just by tickling a man into submission. I'm not joking on that matter." Russ added.
(Jervis came ringside going around the ring just hugging different fans big and small as he throws his hat and he pointed to the cheering fans. He rolls into the ring and puts one foot on the middle rope of the lower right corner raising his cane before his music starts to die down.)
The referee kept both men separate as Jervis got rid off his entrance attire and put his cane just outside as he came to the middle offering a handshake to Jannetty. The legend shook the hand kicking Jervis in the gut getting the bell to ring and the crowd booed him. Jannetty started whipping Jervis off the east side ropes before he hits an elbow to the head making the Gentleman go down as Jervis rubbed his head. Marty gets him up presenting his left elbow going at it again and then he whips Jervis off the south end ropes, but Jervis reverses performing a dancing move with Marty before bringing the legend in for a Side Russian Leg Sweep. The crowd cheered as Jervis pretended to blow kisses to them and then put his hands on his knees getting Marty up by the head giving a Headbutt making Marty head into the upper right corner.
"Jervis with an excellent showing so far despite the falling for the oldest trick in the wrestling books." Russ stated.
Jervis hit elbows to the head as Marty went over to the lower right corner and Jervis continued there as he stands back going for a ramming attempt, but gets the knee to the head as he backs up. Marty hops on the middle rope before he jumps hitting a Flying Shoulder Tackle taking Jervis down as he hooks the right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Jervis kicked out.
Jervis shook his head of the blurs going around as Marty gets him up taunting to the crowd whipping Jervis into the north end ropes going for an Arm Drag, but Jervis rolls through hitting Marty with one of his own. Marty gets up all dizzy as Jervis scoops him up doing a rock-a-bye baby theatric move before hitting a Belly-to-Back Suplex making Marty grab his back in utter pain. Jervis held his hands to his mouth helping Marty to his feet asking him if he was alright as Marty looked at him weirdly replying he's all good. Jervis hyped the audience with a cheer for Marty as he hugged the veteran before getting the legend into a small cradle pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Marty kicked out at 2.3!
"Jervis just doing his usual nice maneuvers as he is just tripping Jannetty up and Jannetty has the better experience coming into this." Hank stated.
Marty kicks Jervis in the stomach before hitting a Snap DDT on the new superstar and then he gets Jervis in a Leg Lock wrenching the left leg of the Gentleman as Jervis screamed in pain begging for a release. Marty didn't listen as he wrenched the leg further, but Jervis manages to whip himself to the right and the legend goes into the ropes rebounding off onto the shoulders of Jervis into an Airplane Spin as the crowd cheered loudly. Jervis spun around making the legend dizzier than most carnival rides do before Jervis hits a Backpack Stunner making Marty flip on the mat. Jervis than grabbed the right leg ready to return the favor locking in the Downton Lock (Ankle Lock) wrenching hard on the leg as much as he could as Marty grabbed his head trying to survive, but Jervis sat down locking the leg further.
"Marty in trouble as he has been in this familiar area before with Kurt Angle way back and he could make history repeat itself." Hank stated.
Marty groaned trying to crawl, but Jervis kept himself in place as he tapped out using his right hand making the bell ring. Jervis got up and the referee raised his right hand presenting him as the winner.
("Lover's Lane" by Unknown)
"Here is your winner by way of submission, "Gentleman" Jervis Cottonbelly!" Richard announced from outside the ring.
(Jervis jumped up and down hugging the referee celebrating his win as he saw Marty struggling to get up holding his leg. Jervis helped the legend up and eagerly shook his hand before raising the right arm as a sign of respect and Marty nodded smiling hugging Jervis.)
"A good showing of just what Jervis can bring to the table when he eventually moves on with his career and I for one want one of those hugs." Hank stated as the cameras came back to inside USPW Global Studios.
"I'm sure his future is bright with someone to hug and rock to sleep around every corner. Coming up, we have our first interview with Ivan Salkov and then William speaks out about his actions last night. Plus, we have an update on Marcus's arm and what it means for his stay in USPW." Russ announced as the first commercial break came on the screen.
Commercial Break…
Now, the Replay of the Week is brought to you by Domino's Pizza ©, it's what we do. Also brought to you by Dove ©, You are more beautiful than you think.
The footage goes to Rush Hour as Marcus gives the Foul Line to Starr, but Ivan jumps on holding down on Marcus by his head. Marcus gets to his knees in the Dragon Sleeper, but flips Starr over to go for a pin and Ivan switches the hold around the left arm of Marcus turning it into a Kimura Lock. Ivan flips the arm upwards in an attempt to strengthen his grip and Marcus screams making the referee call off the match.
Ivan then retained his U.S. Title, but Ivan goes back locking in a normal Armbar on Marcus as the giant taps out while being released and checked by medical officials. Ivan then exits the ring to the roaring boos and bows in a mocking tone before turning to go up the ramp.
(Coming back on the air, the camera zoomed in on USPW Global Studios as Hank and Russ began taking sips of their water before they would resume with the broadcast.)
"Welcome back to Firestorm. At Rush Hour, we may have witnessed the breaking of Marcus Sloan as his left arm has seemed to snap due to the Kimura Lock submission put on him from Ivan. We have his medical report from the nearest hospital in his hometown of Dallas, Texas. Marcus is in good condition and will be ready to compete as soon as possible, but he can't come to this Friday's episode of CageZone." Russ stated.
"Which sucks, but rest is important for the healing and I bet all he wants is our first guest when he comes back. Please welcome, the current USPW United States Champion, Ivan Salkov!" Hank exclaimed.
("Farewell of Salvianka" by The Russian Empire)
(Ivan comes in smiling as he carried his belt tucked beside him and he came in shaking hands with Hank and Russ taking a seat in the middle. He wore a royal red robe and white boots taking his seat before he was passed a mug of water.)
"Welcome to the studios, Ivan. I have to say since your debut in USPW, you have had a great track record becoming the first United States Champion. How proud are you?" Russ asked.
"I very proud. It's such an accomplishment to crush others and get titles." Ivan spoke in his Russian accent.
"As you probably heard, Marcus will likely be back next week and he will be searching for your head on a silver platter. Do you have any concerns since the last time you faced him?" Russ asked.
"I fear no man. Not even Marcus. He can be like big whale with little fins. Big on outside, but harmless on inside." Ivan retorted.
"He certainly didn't seem harmless when he took you to the limit." Hank stated.
"My skills outmatch his. I rely on strategy and he rely on brute strength. I am above him in every way including wrestling. I butchered many back in Mother Russia just like I do in United States." Ivan boasted.
"How do you maintain this much confidence? Has anything really fazed you?" Russ asked.
"On mats, in cage, in ring, it does not matter. I have duty to fight whoever wants fight. I fear no one and no one can faze me. Simple." Ivan replied as he took a drink from his water.
("Officer of the Day March" by United States Marine Band)
(Ivan turns to see Logan Gage come out in his varsity jacket and a New York Giants jersey as he stares down the Russian. Ivan gets up as he stares face to face with the football player while Hank tries to get between them.)
"You don't think I can scare you? I can." Logan boasted.
"Come try. Come try." Ivan beckoned with his voice and hands.
("Dragula" by Rob Zombie)
(The cameras and TV screens started going static and cutting out as Andrew Marsh came out holding his broken lantern setting it on the table sticking out his tongue to Ivan.)
"Try me on for size, big boy." Andrew stated as he did a cutthroat motion with Hank getting in-between everyone.
"You are freak of nature! I can take you anytime." Ivan spat.
"If anyone deserves a shot at the U.S. Title, it's me! I represent the strongest people in America and the fact that this asshole got the title is an injustice." Logan exclaimed.
"I don't care who gets shot! I take on all comers!" Ivan screamed as he tears off his robe, but Hank calmed him down.
"Gentlemen, time and place! I understand we have some issues to resolve here, but there's a time and place for everything. I can't just give shots out like candy on Halloween." Hank explained.
"Then who do I have to beat? This Scooby-Doo monster reject?!" Logan shouted as Andrew tried lunging for Logan, but Russ restrained him.
("Firestarter" by The Prodigy)
(Logan gritted his teeth and clenched fists as Ryan Brown came in wearing a normal "Time to Get Lit!" black shirt and jeans appearing behind Andrew and Russ.)
"You didn't beat me, compadre. I still want you one-on-one." Ryan reminded as he pointed to Logan.
"Let's settle it now, shrimp boy!" Logan screamed as Hank glared at the jock and pointed a finger at him.
"No fighting on company grounds! Save it for the ring. You all want each other so bad. Next week on Firestorm, you will have your matches. Logan, you and Ryan will finish your feud off in a Last Man Standing match. Andrew, you can have first crack at Ivan in a non-title match and if you win, you get a shot." Hank announced.
(Andrew cracked a smirk as Logan threw his hands up in frustration glaring down Ryan as both boys would get their one-on-one soon enough. Ivan merely crossed his arms not impressed by the lack of men in the room as he grabbed his U.S. Title raising it high for Andrew to see.)
(Downstairs, William is hanging around dressed in a grey skull t-shirt and black sweatpants with white lines down through them as he wears a long brown jacket. Jonathan comes up from behind wearing a large black jacket, a green shirt saying "Revenge is a Fool's Game" in gold colors and black jeans. He tapped on his partner's shoulder as William turned startled .)
"Rah! Don't scare me like that." William stated as he pushes Jonathan away.
"How about you telling me what it was back there? Why did you punch me?" Jonathan asked.
"That's exactly what I'm going up to explain." William replied.
"No, we don't need spectators for you to stall and dodge around the question. Tell me now." Jonathan demanded.
"Heh…did you think I turned on you? Cause I'm getting those vibes." William replied.
"It should've been me putting an end to Preston and his bullcrap. I appreciated your help since we are Tag Team Champions and we both had a score to settle. However, I don't really think you want this whole ordeal to end." Jonathan explained.
"I want it to end…but on better terms. Like you said, we are Tag Team Champions and we represent the Bloodline. I want to start defending these belts with pride and honor. Preston decided he is out and we don't need him." William stated.
"I want to defend them, too. But we can also lose them as a result of Preston. You nearly had to sell a arm and a leg for them." Jonathan reminded.
"I know, but we can become stronger with each match. This Friday on CageZone, I want our first defense against any tag team out there on the indies. There are plenty of takers out there and I want to show them who runs the division." William stated.
(Suddenly, the clearing of the throat disrupted both boys as the camera turns to Bottoms Up Outlaws standing there in their natural attire. Sammy chugs a shot of moonshine before addressing both men.)
"We were closer than any other tag team out there to getting shots for the Global Tag Team Titles before oVe fellers came to cost us the shot. Hank already said we can lay claim as an apology." Sammy stated.
"Bloodline against Outlaws? I figured a tumbleweed would've past us by." Jonathan joked.
"Hang on, there!" Another team shouted as Angelico and Jack Evans a.k.a The Hybrid 2 of All Elite Wrestling came in their natural attire.
"If any of you guys are throwing down a gauntlet for those belts, me and Jack want our shot. AEW has kinda gone soft on us and it's clear we have to wait there, but nothing says we can't jump ship and lay our hands to the claim." Angelico stated.
"And just why do you two need a title shot? The Outlaws already got first dibs and all you guys do is work at the local SkyZone Trampoline Park." Jonathan joked.
"Then how about you fight us as well, hombre." A sinister voice stated as Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix, the current AAA World Tag Team Champions, came on-screen with Pentagon putting an arm over Rey's shoulder.
"Hold up there, partners. Ah know we got beef to settle coming up with AEW, but me and Sammy have our business to attend to with these titles. You folks got yours already." Nick argued.
"Nothing says we can't add on more gold." Rey stated.
(Suddenly, the lights go out in the building as everyone started wondering what was going on before hearing the sounds of…)
"O…V…E! OHIO VERSUS EVERYTHING!"
(The lights come on as Sami Callahan held hands with his wife, Sara, and Madman Fulton stood behind them with the Crist Brothers creeping up on each team.)
"Didn't think you leave us out of getting a shot? Especially since these cowpokes obviously didn't learn from the impact we put on them." Sami explained for the first time.
"It wasn't your match to get involved in, partner!" Sammy argues before Nick kept him back.
"I couldn't care less about your feelings. Besides, Jake and Dave want a shot at those belts and it looks like it's a good time as any." Sami explained.
"Okay, you know what?! You all want a shot. Fine then! Next week, we have a Tag Team Turmoil Match for the USPW Global Tag Team Titles." Jonathan announced.
(All the teams looked at one another and consulted with their partners shaking their head as they would be accepting the challenge, but a whistle caught their ears as Jordon Oliver is with Myron Reed and Kotto Brazil up on the second floor. Jordan dove hitting the Crist Brothers, Bottoms Up Outlaws, and the Lucha Bros. taking them down with a Flying Crossbody as he gets up.)
"Don't forget about the ones who truly deserve a shot. See you both, Friday." Jordan threatened as he walked away leaving the Bloodline to talk it out somewhere else.
(Back on the top floor, Hank and Russ just witnessed the scene and then returned their focus to the cameras.)
"Well, a big announcement made for this Friday as six teams will enter the cage and start fighting it out for the USPW Global Tag Team Titles. I hope for the Bloodline's sake, they can keep it together in order to keep the titles around those waists." Russ stated.
"Not only that, but we have a new concept debuting this Friday called Rags for Riches. Six briefcases will be on the line in six different triple threat matches with each winner getting a special prize for the briefcase they choose." Hank explained.
"One contains an instant World Heavyweight Championship match which is the only briefcase that the winner can hang onto and cash in anytime like Money in the Bank. The other five are as followed: a United States, European, or Tag Team Title shot, $50,000 in cash, the ability to book the next Firestorm episode, a Wildcat or No Limits Title shot, and finally, the USPW Television Championship. That means whoever wins that briefcase automatically becomes the first Television Champion in USPW." Russ added.
"Let's throw up the matches for next week, shall we?" Hank asked as he pointed to the television screens.
Ryan Lewis vs. Kurt Bale vs. Pete Corvus
Nolan Exodus vs. "Gentlemen" Jervis Cottonbelly vs. Rhett Titus
Preston Starr vs. Cody Fireheart vs. Connor Gates
Orange Cassidy vs. ROTHChester vs. "Truck Driver" Corey Allison
Duhop vs. "The Mark" Geoffrey Bravo vs. Jay "The Key" Evans
Haleigh Grant vs. Jesse Neal vs. Katie Striker
"We are in for quite the doozy going into next week as we have some of the younger stars especially GTS getting involved in this action." Russ stated as the cameras cut back to the announce table.
"Don't miss this very special episode of CageZone live on Hulu, Twitch, and Amazon Prime. Coming up next, we take it back to the AllState Arena last night as Mammoth Man barrels through Rosemont looking for another victim." Hank announced.
Commercial Break…
(The scene returned to the footage of the AllState Arena as a younger man looking to be in his mid-20's with blonde hair slicked back wearing red trunks with four white lines down the front and back as well as black wrestling boots with the name banner coming up showing "JT Middlewood." "The Path to Valhalla" by Zergna is playing as Mammoth Man wore the bear skin cloth over his head wearing dark green trunks and black boots stroking his long beard before throwing down the bear skin gritting his teeth.)
"Welcome back to Firestorm as Mammoth Man makes his way towards the ring and this man knows how to get the job done. Last week, he completely demolished his debut opponent and we can probably expect the same thing here tonight." Russ stated.
"This man has an exploding personality and I've enjoyed his work with CZW. He once put two men through three separate sheets of glass. It was freaking insane!" Hank exclaimed.
Mammoth Man gets in the ring as JT stood his ground although most would think he was being generally stupid. The muscular man cracked his knuckles before the bell rang as JT circled cautiously keeping Mammoth at a good distance before he tried hyping himself up to the crowd. No amount of cheers ever came as JT tried using his arms to get the audience cheering away, but the fans would not budge causing Mammoth to turn the local talent around and hit a Samoan Drop as the crowd instantly cheered. Mammoth gets the younger star up pushing him into the east set ropes hitting a Back Body Drop as JT grabbed his back in pain. Mammoth then gets JT up hitting a Chokeslam and then picked JT up to do another one. Mammoth then grabbed JT up in a Full Nelson hold hitting Extinction (Bubba Bomb) as JT sprung up and down on his back.
"Extinction! Mammoth sending JT through over a million years of torment." Hank stated.
Mammoth then grabbed the legs throwing JT on his stomach and then grabbed both legs again bending them forward locking in the Tusks of the North as JT screamed tapping out instantly while the ref made Mammoth release the hold.
("The Path to Valhalla" by Zergna)
"Here is your winner by way of submission, Mammoth Man!" Richard announced.
"Completely decimated in a matter of minutes as the rookie had no chance." Russ stated.
"Where things go from here for Mammoth Man is on his conscience, but he sure knows how to display his might." Hank added.
(Mammoth Man raises both hands to the crowd beating his chest as JT is checked on by the referee holding his legs in utter agony.)
"YESSSSSSS!"
A shadow is seen on a concrete wall and hands start playing on a baby grand piano as an individual appears from down the hallway outstretching not hands.
"No longer binding to those that threaten my existence…I am reborn from the ashes of Hades's volcanic nonsense. Hellfire cannot stop the revelations that have been foretold to me. Those who go against such teachings will be DELETED!"
Footage of "Broken" Matt Hardy outside in street clothes running hands through his hair and talking to a brick wall were shown. He drew on the concrete creating symbols on the blacktop as he ran a long white line along the pavement and laughed as Matt looked into the camera smirking.
"Visionless will be overcome and those who continue to walk blindly will be on the list. USPW WILL BE WONDERFUL AAAAHHHHHHHHH!"
THE BROKEN UNIVERSE APPEARS AT NIGARA BRAWLS!
Matt bites at the camera as he does a little wave before snapping his fingers and the camera goes out of shot.
Footage moved over to a shot of a white mansion as a man of Caucasian descent wearing a yellow polo shirt under a green and yellow-checkered sweater vest with a orange trim, black pants and purple sneakers walks into shot. He smiled pearly white teeth as he sported short-black hair.
"Well, howdy neighbor! My name is Rodney Springfield and my wonderful family will soon be moving out of the mansion and into your neighborhood."
Footage comes to Rodney sitting on a lawnmower driving it as the camera followed him while a woman wearing a hot pink shirt and blue jeans sporting blonde hair and tan skin watered her plants as Rodney greets her.
"Hey honey! That's my wife, Elvelyn, and ain't she a looker? I'm sure lucky to have her in my life and she's the total package of what a man could ask for in a woman. Those legs aren't just for the track…or the swimming pool…or even the boxing ring."
Footage cuts to the kitchen as Rodney pulls the lid off a cooking pot smelling the contents as a slightly younger kid not too smaller than Rodney appeared slapping his hand getting him to put the lid on. He had a white chef's hat on as he checked the inside of the oven on a tray of brownies. He had spiky black hair and wore a full white chef's uniform pulling out the tray.
"This is my prodigal son, Henry, and he's quite the achiever winning multiple food competitions for his exceptional cooking skills. Not to mention all those training lessons and wins in soccer, football, basketball, and even water polo."
Footage cuts to Rodney holding a finger to his mouth to be quiet and opened a bedroom door to see a blonde teen sleeping in her bed.
"Ain't that something? Lucy is all tuckered our from the cheerleading practice, extreme biking, rock climbing, white water rafting, and singing. Such a little angel."
Footage cuts to outside as the garage opens to Rodney coming out and wiping his hands placing them on his hips.
"I'm so proud of my family and for all of their accomplishments. Wrestling is the next thing on the to-do list so we hope to see you there. Bye for now!"
THE SPRINGFIELDS: MOVING IN SOON!
(The cameras cuts back to the building of USPW Global Studios as we check in with Hank and Russ getting ready for the next segment.)
"Well, we certainly have some people to look forward to coming into USPW soon. Coming up next right here, we have our two participants from last night's main event as Jason and Cody meet up to discuss what it was like in the ring with each other." Russ announced.
"Plus, we have our main event where Martin Rolli finally got his hands on Mason Yates for last week ditching him and Quinton on their deal." Hank announced.
"It's even a Hardcore Match so they can settle their beef in the ring and surround themselves with as many weapons as they please." Russ added.
("Immortals" by Fallout Boy)
(Cody Fireheart comes into the room wearing a normal Cincinnati Bengals NFL hoodie and jeans with his normal mask as he takes a seat shaking hands with Hank and Russ.)
"Welcome to the studios, Cody. That was a very valiant effort last night against Jason." Russ commented.
"Thanks. I really put my ass on the line out there. Jason is a tough sonvabitch and I didn't want to take any prisoners." Cody replied with a chuckle.
"What was it like? Standing up to someone who puts guys on the mat in seconds?" Hank asked.
"It was tough as hell. He hits like a freight train even if he had to let off some so I didn't get terribly injured. I felt his intensity and tried matching it, but he knows when to get serious even if he hasn't wrestled long." Cody replied.
"Of course you managed to keep yourself alive by refusing to pass out and you kept going till you submitted. Did you feel emotional losing last night?" Russ asked.
"I'll admit…I did cry when I lost, but not really at the fact I lost, but that I shocked myself by getting as close as I did. I've had some awesome matches so far in my career, but Jason took it to the next level and made me work for the win. Even if I didn't get it, I still feel I earned it." Cody explained as he used his hands to gesture his words.
"Who would you say has taken you to the next level like Jason?" Hank asked.
"As far as my memory can go back, I've faced Rey Fenix, Pentagon Jr., Bandido, Kenny Omega, Kota Ibushi, and Jason. They know how to give off the necessary energy to get the match done." Cody replied.
"You came close and you made it to the finals of the tournament beating out so big names so I say you don't have a thing to feel ashamed about. Do you feel you grew some more during the match?" Russ asked.
"Yeah, it taught me that I need to put in my best effort that I can. I almost won and I'm proud of that fact by itself. I'll get better and then it's gonna be me holding that world title. I'll treat it with the best respect it deserves and be proud to represent the people that gave me an opportunity." Cody replied.
("Where Dragons Dwell" by Gojira)
(Cody turned to smile as Jason came out in a full white suit jacket with a red tie and white slacks with black dress shoes carrying the world heavyweight championship on his right shoulder. He shakes hands with everyone setting the world title on the counter before taking his seat.)
"Nice to have you out here, Jason. You both amazed me at ringside and it was truly one of the best matches I will remember." Russ stated.
"People gave me some pretty stiff competition, but I made the most of it with someone like Cody." Jason added.
"So what were your thoughts going into this match? Before or during or after?" Hank asked.
"I knew Cody would bring it, because I watched his matches with Logan and Orange Cassidy seeing where his weak spots could be. It wasn't easy, because the man can flip like an egg in a frying pan. I really just had to rely on dumb luck and my grappling to get me through it which he almost got me with that Phoenix Splash." Jason explained.
"That was a good spot." Cody admitted.
"However, I came out here for a reason. You gave me one of the best fights of my life and the memories we made were extraordinary. I wanna do it one more time at Niagara Brawls. One more match for the World Heavyweight Championship." Jason challenged.
"Wait a minute…a rematch with me? Really?!" Cody recoiled.
"That's correct! I want to see Cody win and I want to be there when he does. I'm not gonna go easy like last time, but you and I can do it once more." Jason stated.
"Yes! Yes! I will fight you again!" Cody exclaimed with a determined stare at the world title.
"Can we have that match, Hank?" Russ asked the commissioner with a questionable look.
"Why the hell not? You two got your rematch!" Hank exclaimed.
"Yes!" Cody exclaimed as he made fists with his hands.
"I'm glad we can ride again, but I ain't leaving this title alone for just a short time. You better give me a reason to let you win." Jason joked.
"You won't need a reason when I stomp you on the mat and leave you clueless. I'm taking that world title." Cody declared.
"Well, ladies and gentlemen, the match is official for Niagara Brawls where Jason David Frank makes his first title defense ever against the man who almost beat him, Cody Fireheart." Russ announced.
"Coming up next, Martin and Mason gets their hands dirty when they put each other threw hell in a good ol' fashioned hardcore match in our main event." Hank announced as Jason and Cody each reached out a hand on the world title staring themselves down.
Commercial Break…
("Dead Flowers" by Dale Oliver)
(Mason comes out to exploding cheers as the maniac grabs his head ruffling his hair wearing a white tank top and cargo khakis as he started down the ramp.)
"This is a Hardcore Match set for one-fall! Making his way to the ring, from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, weighing 223 lbs., Mason Yates!" Richard announced.
"This man beat down Quinton last week negating the deal he made with Martin Rolli and that set off the Italian. He's coming into a dangerous landmine field that could turn around on him." Russ stated.
"Martin isn't as slick as he think he is, but credit where credit is due, he's got Quinton to back him up in a match where anything goes. Mason better have a backup strategy for the giant." Hank advised.
("II Bell Canto" by Ministri)
(Martin comes out to straight up boos wearing a leather jacket representing the colors of the flag of Italy and wears golden trunks with the Italian flag on the back. He wears one green boot and one red boot talking down the audience. Quinton hyped up his partner leading the way down the ramp.)
"His opponent, being accompanied to the ring by Quinton Grimes, from Venice, Italy, weighing 213 lbs., Martin Rolli!" Richard announced.
"This is gonna be a handicap match, because Quinton wants a piece of Mason and he won't let Martin be the only one to get what he wants." Russ stated.
"Martin likes to talk a lot of trash and he can back it up from his background in Italy. He's a high-flyer and very technical, but can exploit weakness when he finds a point. Mason might be hard to read for him, but he is smart enough to bring the insurance policy." Hank added.
(Martin starts talking trash to Mason as the psycho is sitting on the middle rope of the upper right corner as Quinton brings out a steel chair, a bag of kendo sticks, a table, a garbage can with contents of street signs and an unused computer keyboard. Mason then went to the middle running hitting a Suicide Dive to both Martin and Quinton.)
The referee saw that as the time to ring the bell as Mason gets up with Quinton only on one knee before Mason hits a boot to the face making him go down. He gets Martin up shoving him into the steel steps knocking off the top half. Mason gets Martin up slamming the face on the bottom half and Martin grabs Mason's head to do the same, but it only made Mason crazier as the psycho throws Martin onto Quinton. Mason then grabs the bottom half of the stairs going to the north side of the ring before both Italians got up, but Mason rammed the steel stairs into both men sending them crashing into the barricade. Mason searches under the ring getting an electronic keyboard out as the crowd cheered loudly. Martin gets to his feet before Mason bashes the head making Martin faceplant on the floor as piano keys go everywhere.
"That's sure to leave different tune in Martin's head." Hank joked.
Mason gets Martin off shoving him into the ring bringing in a piece of plywood from under the ring. Martin gets up as Mason hits the ribcage with the plywood and then on the back before hitting the back one more time dropping the plywood. Mason gets the jacket off Martin throwing it outside backing up in the upper right corner shouting down Martin. Quinton comes in the other side with the garbage can running hitting Mason as the lunatic charged for him. Mason gets knocked into the east side ropes as Quinton whips him into the other set hitting a Big Boot taking down Mason. Quinton then gets Mason up by the hair as Martin directs him to the lower left corner before heading to the other corner stomping his left boot three times running hitting a High Knee in the corner.
"Now the numbers are catching up to Mason as Quinton and Martin look to topple down the block of momentum." Russ stated.
Martin tells Quinton to throw him in the next corner as Quinton grabs Mason shoving him in the upper right corner. Martin stomps the right foot a couple times running hitting a High Knee in the corner again. Mason protects his chest getting forearms and straight elbows to the head as Martin smacks Mason around whipping him off the north end ropes only to hit a Japanese Arm Drag and then another and then knees Mason in the stomach hitting a Headlock Driver. Martin then hooks both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Mason kicked out at 2.4!
Martin gets Mason up by the head whipping him out near the announce tables as Quinton comes over hammering the back of Mason keeping him down. Martin heads onto the ring apron running to hit an Axe Handle on Mason's head as Mason stands back-to-front with the middle announce table. Martin bangs Mason's head off the announce table and then the German announce table as the crowd booed the Italian. Quinton grabs Mason throwing him back first into the barricade on the south side. Martin taunts the crowd showing off his body before jumping on the barricade hitting a Moonsault to Mason as the lunatic groans in pain. Martin scoffs Mason off calling this match nothing getting a kendo stick from the bag and then tossing one of Quinton as they get set to rain down hell on Mason. Martin taunts to the crowd as he holds his stick taking a few practice swings while aiming down on Mason.
"Mason is not in the best place for this and it looks like he is getting caned on the double." Russ stated.
Martin and Quinton got ready as Mason rose, but he ducked as both Italians hit each other with their kendo sticks breaking them and they backed off. Mason low blows Quinton and then hits a Snap DDT on the floor taking out the giant as the crowd cheers very loudly. Martin comes back hoping for a clothesline, but Mason ducks grabbing Martin to hit a Reverse STO into the barricade. Mason then grabs Martin sending him inside while he heads to the west side grabbing the table that was brought out shoving it inside and then goes under the ring to bring out another table causing more cheers to escape the audience. Mason then gets a ladder from underneath as he started shoving the weapons inside while Martin regrouped in the lower right corner. Mason rolls in and begins setting up both tables side-by-side as he smacks them looking down on Martin. Martin pleads with him, but Mason runs over grabbing the legs and lifting Martin up trying to plea, but Mason powerbombs Martin through one of the tables!
"A powerbomb by Mason through a table and that was only the beginning of the torment for Martin." Hank stated.
Mason then set the ladder up near the last set up table and grabbed Martin pulling him into the table punching him hard in the head screaming at him. Quinton grabs the bottom rope, but Mason runs hitting a Basement Dropkick sensing Quinton down again. Mason then gets up and starts climbing the ladder as he hypes the crowd up hoping for an elbow drop getting to the top sitting on the very peak, but Quinton rolls in and jumps pushing the ladder over as Mason hits his chin off the top rope. Quinton pushes Martin off the table and then grabs Mason by the throat as he drags Mason near the table hitting a chokeslam through the wooden material. Quinton grabs Martin and shoves him on Mason as he demands for the referee to count. The referee nods and gets down.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the crowd booed pretty loudly at the finish.

"Here is your winner, Martin Rolli!" Richard announced.
(Martin shakes his head as Quinton helps him up raising his right hand and Martin smarts off to the audience. He leans over the south side top rope soaking in the hate and high-fives Quinton.)
"What did I say from the beginning? Mason could hold his own, but the numbers got too big." Russ reminded.
"Do we even classify that as a win for Martin? Quinton seemed to do the work for him." Hank questioned.
(Mason groaned as the referee checked on him after the match with Martin spitting down on him causing more boos to happen. Quinton went over the top rope hitting both feet on the apron and Martin followed smacking the head of Mason before he left up the ramp with Quinton seeing the crowd boo him out of extinction. Martin laughed and clapped Quinton on the back as they left the way they came in. The last bit of footage is the USPW logo showing ending the broadcast.)
