"And his opponent, from parts unknown, he is the UCW Legend Champion, JOHNNY STEELE!"
The champ came out to a loud positive reception as he calmly made his way to the ring. "Last summer, during Beach Brawl, Johnny lost to Freddy Escobar, but still won his respect! Can he defeat him in a match tonight?" Bobby asked.
Johnny gave his title belt to the ref and glanced at the Prince. the ref showed the belt before calling for the bell, starting the match.
Both men started walking in circles before locking into a clinch which saw them twisting the other's arm at turns. Eventually, Freddy performed a side flip to un-twist his arm and twisted Johnny's in return with this last one performing a roll to break free before taking Freddy down with a headlock.
He ended getting back up and tried to perform a Side Suplex which Johnny countered by getting him down once again. After a few more seconds, Freddy managed to get back up and pushed Johnny in the ropes which forced him to slowly release him. Freddy then did the Monarchy logo with his hand in Johnny's face. This last one replied by pushing him back and showing his two thumbs before turning them down.
Freddy chuckled before hitting a knee strike into Johnny's stomach and taking him down with a snapmare before trying to stomp on his head, only for Johnny to dodge. He then tried a Roundhouse Kick which Johnny ducked and replied with a Spin Kick to his stomach before running in the ropes and hitting a running dropkick to the side of his head and follow with the pin.
"1!...2! KICKOUT!"
Johnny caught Freddy in a headlock, only to get pushed into a corner where Freddy charged, but he jumped out on the apron to dodge and blocked a blow from Freddy before going for a step-up Roundhouse Kick which Freddy blocked and replied with a Superkick to his jaw which made him fall.
Freddy then brought him back in, put him in a corner and delivered many blows and kicks to him until the ref made him stop. He then grabbed his head and dragged it out on the apron before going outside on the apron and hitting a running knee drop to the back of his head. He then brought him back in the ring to hit a running knee drop followed by the pin.
"1!...2! KICKOUT!"
Freddy Irish Whipped Johnny in a corner and was about to run into him, but Johnny suddenly hit him in the knee with a running dropkick while he was running, causing him to flip. Seeing the occasion, Johnny grabbed Freddy's damaged leg and locked him into a modified Kneebar. It was painful, but Freddy managed to reach the ropes and force the break.
After that, Freddy chopped Johnny's chest and Irish Whipped him in the ropes, only to get reversed and caught Johnny with a Sunset Flip which made him roll back and hit Freddy in the face with a dropkick. He then put him in a corner and hit a chop to his chest before rolling back and hitting a running one.
He then Irish Whipped him in the opposite one, charged, and blocked a boot counter attempt from Freddy by catching his leg, kicking the back of it, and then placed it on the middle rope before stomping on it until the ref made him stop.
Johnny then grabbed Freddy's damaged leg and locked it into another kneebar and this time, it took Freddy 20 seconds before reaching for the ropes and force the break. After Freddy got back up, Johnny gave a few kicks to Freddy's bad leg before running in the ropes and receiving a knee strike in the stomach followed by a Step-up Enzuigiri to the side of the head.
Both men got back up by the count of 7 and Johnny went for a smash which Freddy blocked and replied with a few boxing blows to his head and a strong right that knocked him down. He then delivered a few kicks to his chest in the corner followed by knee strikes to the stomach and stomps to the head until the ref made him stop.
He then tossed him away and climbed the top turnbuckle for an aerial move which Johnny interrupted with a Step-up Roundhouse Kick to the head that caused him to fall outside. As Freddy got on the apron, Johnny knocked him back out with a running dropkick before getting on the apron and kicking him hard in the face with a Penalty Kick.
He then brought him back in the ring before hitting him with a Springboard Missile Dropkick from the apron. In his momentum, he rolled back out on the apron and jumped on Freddy with a Springboard Swanton Bomb before getting on a top turnbuckle and, as Freddy was bending down, jumped on the back of his head with a Guillotine and the pin.
"1!...2!...KICKOUT!"
Groaning in anger, Johnny grabbed Freddy who surprised him with a knee strike to the stomach before going for a Superkick which Johnny blocked and locked into a modified kneebar that looked even more painful than the previous ones. Freddy seemed on the verge of taping out but managed to get to the ropes and force the break just in time.
Johnny grabbed Freddy's damaged leg once again, but Freddy surprised him with yet another Enzuigiri to the side of the head which stunned him long enough for Freddy to grab his leg and lock in the Figure Four Leg Lock. Johnny suffered a lot but managed to put a hand on the rope after 40 seconds, forcing the break.
Freddy didn't let Johnny rest and hit his ribs with knee strikes before getting him back up and applying a suplex and was going to follow with the Prince's Blade, but Johnny dodged, letting him strike the corner, and then ran in the corner to jump on him with a Whisper In The Wind.
He then grabbed Freddy from behind and applied a violent Lift Reverse DDT with the pin.
"1!...2!...thre-KICKOUT!"
Needless to sa,y Johnny was shocked that his opponent kicked out. He waited for Freddy to get back up before running and receiving a dropkick to the face. Freddy then followed with a Prince's Blade on the back of Johnny's head and the pin.
"1!...2!...thre-KICKOUT!"
Freddy too was shocked that Johnny kicked out of his finishing move. Pushing a groan, he got in a corner and waited for Johnny to get in the right position before going for his Execution which Johnny countered by catching him with a C4, to everyone's surprise, and followed with the pin.
"1!...2!...thre-KICKOUT!"
"What is it gonna take to keep these men down?!" Bobby shouted.
Both men weakly got back up and started exchanging blows - slow at first, then faster, until Freddy pushed a scream and started giving many quick ones to Johnny's face until this last one replied with a Spin Kick to the stomach and ran in the ropes to receive a Superkick to the face.
Freddy then ran at Johnny who surprised him with a C4 immediately followed by a Skullbreaker and the pin.
"1!...2!...3!"
"Here's your winner and still UCW Legend Champion, JOHNNY STEELE!"
Despite being visibly tired by the awesome match he just had, Johnny was filled with joy as he finally managed to defeat his rival. He took his title belt and rose it in victory when Freddy walked over to him and the two glanced at each other in silence. However, the Prince then offered him his hand which Johnny accepted to shake before leaving. The crowd cheered in joy.
"Wow! These two will never disappoint me!" Joey said, tears in his eyes.
"That's exactly how I like rematches from already classic ones!" Bobby added.
