Chapter 25 : You win some, you lose some

Here it is enjoy!!

I was still recovering from my match last Sunday against Deranged and I was really beat up from it, but I finally defeated my long time rival.

But a lot of people were saying that my victory was nothing but a fluke, I mean sure he kicked my ass at the rumble but I beat him last Sunday, so now we're tied up one a piece and I know what your thinking Wrestlemaia 24 is four weeks away and I have no plans at all.

Speaking of Wrestlemania, Edge has to defend his title against the phenom The Undertaker with his 15-0 streak on the line, I saw the elimination chamber match and it was an incredible display by him to outlast all those guys including his rival Batista, and now he gets his chance to reclaim the title which Edge first stole from him in his yard.

I have to focus though I have a tag team title defence this Friday night and it will be against the traitors who called themselves my friends but it will be No Disqualifications because of what I did last week, I guess I had it coming but if I know the GM and her lover they will find a way to make it even more difficult for me to retain the titles. All I did that week was train and train to get myself in some shape for the match.

FRIDAY NIGHT

We were in the locker room getting ourselves prepared and believe me we were ready to defend our titles.

"Xander are you sure you can compete tonight? I mean you were nearly beaten to death by that monster." Balls asked.

"Look I know you're concerned about my health but I'll tell you that I am ready and I am willing to go out there and defend these titles even if it kills me tonight!!" I said.

"That's all I needed to hear, I think we are ready amigo." he said.

"As Tom Cruise would say, "Let's done this." I said impersonating him, we just laughed and went down to the ring ready for our title defence.

LATER ON

We came out to the ring and as usual the crowd gave us a welcome and I got a few cheers for my efforts last night against Deranged, I guess you could say I made a WWE moment in my own career when I did that DDT of the top rope. Then came out our opponents the backstabbers and I just wanted to get my hands on them at that moment but I knew since it was No DQ I could do more than just that, they came down acting like Edge's retarded second cousins who can't get their own gimmick. We started the match as normal with me tying up with Curt and as I had the superior strength I had him locked into the hammer lock and I then used the momentum to shift him into a leg sweep take down and began to work on his arms with a fujiwa armbar, I just pulled on his arms and I was literally trying to weaken him so he would not been able to tag in his partner. I let him out of it and rose him to his feet and just began nailing body kicks and after a few shots he went down like a ton of bricks, I tagged in my partner and he just began hitting his trademark fists and the crowd and myself included went along with it, BALLS,BALLS,BALLS, GGGGOOOO BBBBAAALLLSS!!

But before he hit the final blow Zach came running in and hit him while I tried to get in there and help out but as always the ref is too distracted to realise an illegal action is happening right behind him. Curt then just began stomping the hell out of Balls and he tagged in his partner to get in more offensive, as all I could do was watch them drive fists into his skull repeatedly, and began mocking me and daring me to get into the ring and face him, I just wanted to do that. As they tagged in and out simultaneously they were only trying to dissect him and make sure he could not get me in the match. Out of nowhere and out of desperation he managed to counter a Spear into a neck breaker and gradually make his way to the corner and, yes I got the tag, I exploded in nailing both Ryder and Hawkins and I just wanted them both badly, I nailed each of them with german suplexes and some kicks but they got tired of going by the rules and grabbed some steel chairs from the outside and it looked pretty bad for us…well until I decided to fly right over the top rope and right into them I got up and grabbed a chair and handed the second to my partner, we took advantage of the No DQ rule and decided to end this. I took Ryder into the ring and as I slid in I was still feeling small hints of last Sunday but I had shooken it off and I waited to nail him with the Rage in The Cage on the chair, while my partner was on the outside dealing with Hawkins who was battling back and took the fight into the crowd. I saw the opening until ……the arena went black, it was familiar and when the lights were back on I looked around until I looked behind me and went right into the huge right hand of Deranged, he grabbed me by the throat and hit a huge chokeslam on me, I was in complete surprise but I never thought he would turn up like this, but as it so happens he wasn't done he grabbed me in my stunned state on to his shoulders and from the top rope The Final Flight, and I felt the pain in my ribs and head as I came crashing down to the mat and completely annihilating me. Ryder looked a bit shocked but as he just looked at the monster he realised it was his opportunity and went for the pin 1-2-3 it was all over they had done it, they stole the tag team titles from us, we worked hard to get those titles and they were stolen from us, not just by my former friends but by a seven foot psychotic monster who's only target seemed to be me and after my win over him at No Way Out he got revenge and I guess it wasn't over between us. He then just looked at me and as he went for me Balls came rushing in to make the save and both the new champs ran up the ramp goading their win. I just looked up and realised what had happened, I just knew we got screwed and I saw him looking down at me as if he just beat me again and the lights went out and his head was seen sinking into the depths of the arena behind the announce desk.

LATER ON

I was being checked on by the doctor and as I was all I could think about was that god damn freak getting himself involved in my match and expect to get away with it, oh no he wasn't, far from it, he started this rivalry with me and I'm gonna end it once and for all.

GM's OFFICE

"We did it!!" Zach shouted.

"At last we finally have become champions!!" Curt said.

"Congrats boys you are now on top of the tag team division on Smackdown! And with us backing you up no one will take those titles." Edge proudly said.

"And just be sure those rejects don't get a rematch, I made a loophole saying No rematch." Vickie said.

LATER ON

I tried to look for Balls but I heard he left already looking pissed off so I decided against trying to find him as he was probably upset at losing the titles. I got back to the hotel, back to my room, took a shower and lied down on the bed and as I did I got a call.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey you're still alive."

"Oh hey Ash, been a while since we've seen each other, not since my hospital visit, even though that wasn't much of a social event." I said.

"Yeah I'm glad you're ok and all but I saw what happened, you guys lost the tag team titles, and all because of that freak." she said.

"I know he ain't getting away with it not while I'm still around." I said.

" Yeah oh listen I have to go I have a lot of unpacking to do In my new place if you're available on the Wrestlemania rewind night we're going to a local club you wanna come?" she asked

"Yeah sure why not, I mean I could use the company of friends and by the way tell Maria congrats on her playboy cover shoot." I said.

"I'll tell her but you should do that yourself ok, see you then X Man." she said and we both hung up.

I guess I learned you win some you lose some in this business and my business with Deranged got taken to another level.

That's just too bad for him, Reviews please!! (Deranged is owned by XWave7000)
