*The Intermission doesnt last forever, and soon Gavin is back in the ring* So whooooo's ready for more exciting CHIKARA action? *The crowd roars* Then lets get right back into it! Our first contest will pit the repented Shane Storm vs the venemous and vile Ooooophidian!
*Storm hears his name called* ...Jeez! *Gets to back quickly, Tom, Della and Mikko also get back. The screen flicikers to Ophidian* Sssstoooorm...yeeessss...redemtption! You got redemption...yeesssss...we are familiar with you Sssstooorrmmm, we have sssseeeen...your ssstrife! Tonight, you will fall...like your friend fell before you, and tonight...the ssssouls tell me...you will join him...join him in pain...and agony...yeeeesssss. Shane Ssssstorm, you will be ended...by Ssssnnnaaake Sssstyle! HIIIIISSSSS! *Tom's eyes narrow. He hasn't seen Shane Storm fight for nearly as long as he's seen Stigma fight, but Storm seems more powerful. He's hoping. Della still watches Ophidian...she just cant believe what he's become*
*The screen flickers to Storm* ...Wow...you know its been a long time since I delivered a promo...as well...me...but...Ophidian yeah we've met before, theres a difference now though. I found my head in time for you to lose yours, so maybe tonight.,..I knock some crazy out of you, and trust me...I know what its like to be crazy...I think I kind of still am, but nontheless Ophidian I dont take my redemption in vain. Tonight, I dont care how crazy and insane you are, I dont care about your snake style...tonight...I'm going to take you down, and contunue on my path, of redemption! (Tom cheers loudly, kind of knocks Della back a little...Tom being loud, its a rare thing...*
*The UnStables music starts up and out comes Shane Storm to a HUGE reaction from the crowd, just about lifting the roof off, Storm is blown back a bit* WOW! ...You dont realize how many people are here until they give you a reaction like that! *It may have been the biggest reaction of the night aside from Quack and Kingston. Storm goes by Tom, and gives him a high five, nods at Vin and gets in the ring. Tom accepts the high five and...blinks shakes his hand. It smarts a little.*
Leonard- Well wrestling fans Archibald Peck was supposed to join me here but...he is unable too, and Tursas has refused...so it looks like for this match Ill be joined by someone who didnt get the opportunity due to injury to compete in the Tournament, Vin Gerard!
Gerard- Thanks for the reminder Leonard...really...
Leonard- Sorry, well hey at least you get to see Shane Storm compete, he is still your friend right?
Gerard- Yeah...just takes some getting used to...
*Ophidians theme starts up, and out comes Ophidian, once again he takes off his red garb in front of Della and Co. Tom just stares at him coldly, with that same glare. Ophidian licks his lips with his long snake toungue, grins and slinks into the ring. Della shivers...its like he's completely forgotten who he used to be...*
Leoanrd- Do you like Shanes chances in this matchup Vin?
Gerard- Well I'm not going to take anything away from Ophidians crazy...but something tells me Storms coming in to this with alot to prove...where Ophidian...he's just crazy...
*The bell rings, and Storm goes for a headlock but Ophidian slinks out of the way to the turnbuckle hissing. Storm waits until he comes back out, he crawls out, Storm this time gets him in a headlock, but Ophidian gets out and slinks to the corner again, the official has to back Storm away. During that, Ophidian slinks up and dropkicks Storm down, the official turns, away from Storm startled by that. Storm sits up just in time to see Ophidian jump and deliver a double knee strike to his head, the Eyes Of Ra. Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Ophidian Hisses*
Leonard- Ophidian alread using some underhanded tactics. He wasnt happy about the turn of events of Stigma turning back into Storm so he also cant be happy about being paired with him in the round 2 matchup.
Gerard- Lets see just how long his little momentum boost lasts...
*Ophidian gets Storm up again in a DDT position headlock, springs up and hooks his legs around Storms middle keeping the front headlock on for a Dragons Sleeper, cranking it. Storm stays on his feet, stays firm*
Leonard- Dragon Sleeper! Can Ophidian end this early?
Gerard- If this match ends on this move I will hit Storm over the head repeatedly when he comes back, concussion or not...
*Storm struggles and gets Ophidian over, and positions him for an Air Raid Crash counter!, but Ophidian flails out and gets outside the ring shaking his head, that was close...turns...and sees Storm didnt stop to give him a breather. Storm leaps through the middle rope and does a middle rope front flip suicide dive to the outside hard on Ophidian, both men go down hard*
Leonard- Oh a great move there by Storm and thats the opportunity he needed!
Gerard- About time...
*Storm gets Ophidian up and delivers a forearm, looks to throw him in the ring, but Ophidian leaps on the apron, extneds his legs wrapping around storms head, and hurricanrannas him into the guardrail, Storm wobbled dazed, Ophidian brings him out, gets up the apron, springs on the ropes, and leaps, delivering an Asai Moonsault straight to storm, both flop again*
Leonard- OH! And just has Storm gets it on track Ophidian turns it right back around, Storm is in Trouble again!
Gerard- Come on Storm...
*Ophidian gets up, and brings storm into the ring, gets on the ring apron, springs off, and front flips onto Storm, turns and covers 1...2...KICKOUT! Ophidian growls*
Leonard- Ophidian looks like he wants this over but Storm will not give up that easily
Gerard- As he shouldnt...
*Ophidian continues the assault, stomping, brings him up, slaps him, chops him into the corner* ILL MAKE YOU JOIN YOUR FRIEND! *Runs against the opposite turnbuckle, and runs at Shane for an Eye of Ra in the turnbuckle, Storm moves, Ophidian hits the turnbuckle, springs off them recovering quickly. Ophidian runs at Storm and getting his legs around Storm in a wheelbarrow position Quesaadora. Ophidian makes the snake sign and goes for the Duat Driver, a Worst Case Scenerio, he rolls...but storm catches him, holding on from being flipped with pure strentgh...pulls Ophidian back into a wheelbarrow position...then flips him over spiking him on his head for a Release German Suplex! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Storm sighs frustrated*
Leonard- And there is the opening Storm needed, he needs to capitlize here!
Gerard- Dont let this idiot make you look like a fool Storm, nows your chance...
*Storm gets Ophidian up, forearms him and goes for the Flowing DDT, but Ophidian gets out and roundhouse kicks Storm in the head, gets storm dazed in a powerbomb position, going for the Egyption destroyer! flips over, but Storm counters! Gets Ophidians head under his arm...and spikes him for an Air Raid Crash! Ophidian flops, cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Storm grabs head frustrated. Tom also thought that was the end*
Leonard- Air Raid Crash! But it isnt enough, Ophidian still has some fight left!
*Gerard sighs* Keep on him Storm...
*Storm picks Ophidian up, forarms him, and gets him in the Air Raid Crash position, he runs to deliver it...but then Ophidians legs cross around Storms neck and he forces Storm back with his momentum, and delivers an inverted Egyptian Destyoyer! Storms head spikes on the mat...it looks nastily executed*
Leonard- Oh you gotta be kidding me...that looked painful...
*Gerard watches silently*
*Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Ophidian looks at Ref angrily, Storm spazzes in the ring, the Egyptian destroyer is usually the all she wrote move...*
Leonard- NO! He kicked out! Stormed kicked out!
Gerard- That a boy Shane...
*Ophidian gets Storm up, Storm surprises him with a slap of his own! then a forearm! and another, throws Ophiddian against the ropes, Ophidian ducks the clothesline, but on the rebound Storm cracks him with a Tornado Kick! cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Storm flops down on the mat, both he and Ophidian down. Tom starts a Shane Storm chant*
Leonard- Both men down, who's going to give first?
Gerard- Whole match has been too close to call...
*Storm lifts Ophidian up exasperated, and gets him in a suplex position, lifts him up for the Jackhammer, but Ophidian knees him getting out of it. Ophidian gets behind storm, and leaps on his back, hooks legs around his middle sinches his arm and gets him in the Death Grip Hold! Storm flails madly, trying to sya on his feet first off, he cant fall or itll be worse*
Leonard- Death Grip! Oh this might be it!
Gerard- Storm you countered the Inverted CHIKARA Special, you can counter this!
*Storm cant get to the ropes...his arm slowly droops...the official brings it up, it flops limp, he counts one! if Storms arm is unresponsive by three, the match ends on a TKO*
Leonard- This might be all she wrote for the newly reformed Shane Storm
Gerard- Come on Shane...show that not being Stigma anymore was worth it...
*The official raises it again, it drops* Two! *He lifts it up for three annnd...his arm rasies up defiantly, Ophidian screams cranking the hold. Tom shouts* Go Storm Go!
Leonard- Oh its not over yet folks! Storm defiant until the end!
Gerard- And I hope that it ISNT the end...
*Storm bends, and jumps...Ophidian's grip loosening, hes slipping more to Storms front, then...Storm gets him in the Tombstone position, he breaks the hold Ophidian had, Ophidian screams failing, but Storm drops down for a Tombstone Piledriver! Cover 1...2...3! PINFALLl! Storm wins and advances! Storm flops exausted from the match*
Leonard- Storm wins! What a matchup, but he came away with the win and will advance to the next round!
Gerard- Thought so *quietly leaves and goes back to Tom who is clapping and cheering wildly for Storm, Storm rolls out of the ring as the medical staff gets Ophidian out of the ring, Storm nods grinning to him, Tom nods back as Storm heads up to the commentary booth*
*Gavin heads back up to the rins* No rest for the weary, our next contest will feature, the BDK's Jakoooob Hammermier versus one third of the Batiri, and definitely with a big chip on his shoulder, Koooodama! *Mikko stands strraighter*
*Screen flickers to Kodama, who sighs* Of ALL people...it has to be Jakob who I have to fight. I have so many more importiant things to worry about right now, even more that Im not going to be the one fighting Tianna. So Jakob you're fighting me at the wrong time, Im in no mood for you...your antics, Tim Donst, none of i. if I were you I wouldnt even show up to the ring tonight...because I may look like an emotionless guy, but get in the ring with me...you'll see exactly how pissed off I really am...*Mikko nods firmly*
*The screen flickers to Jakob and Tim Donst, Jakob speaks up* Oh zee little green booger, he's so sad waaa waa waaaaah! *Donst chuckles* Poor guy, sorry for you, I really am...no Im not actually, because tonight, you're going to be destroyed by the best up and coming taent today, and my best buddy, Jakob Hammermeir! *Jakob nods* When you have a best friend like Tim Donst how can you lose? *Donst grins* Exactly, some of my best rubs off on Jakob, just some, but its enough to take you down Kodama, so tonight, I hope you brought some tissues, because Jakobs gonna make you cry! *Jakob adds* Like ine green baby! *A strategic raincloud hovers over the entrance, before Della gives Mikko a look, and it disperses.*
*Jakob comes out before any music starts and takes the micophone* A show some respect for the BDK? *There are very scattered cheers. The BDK may have fans, but people want Kodama to win tonight, there's too much at stake. Jakon frowns at the low response* Entering zee ring, in namen der bruuuuudershaft des kereuzes! He is strong, handsome, and he made Mr. Touchdown turn the ball over...JAKOOOOOOB HAMMERMEEEIIIR! ...*runs to the back again as the BDK's theme starts up and out...again comes Jakob flaunting about with Donst at his side, completely ignoring the fact he lost to Storm*
Leonard- Well joining me once again after his second tournament win Shane Storm and Shane you can see that Tim Donst seems to be forgetting he's out of the Tournament, or lying in the back saying all these things like he had something in his eye, or his shoe was untied, all of these things, just that his loss to you didnt count.
Storm- Well he can say whatever he wants, I just beat Ophidian, so Donst's loss wasnt a fluke, I proved that tonight, and now his buddy Jakobs going to have to REALLY prove that that his win against Mr. Touchdown wasnt a fluke...and against Kodama who's got a real short fuse at the moment...well...we'll see...
*Jakob gets in the ring and does the cross, Donst claps enthusiastically. Then the Batiri's theme starts out and out comes Kodama, looking none too amused. The crowd gives him a big cheer, and Mikko waves a flag enthusiastically*
Leonard- Kodama looks like he means buisiness
Storm- I dont blame him...
*Kodama doesnt even wait for the bell to sound, he leaps into the ring and starts pounding on Jakob, who tries to flail back but it does nothing at the moment. Kodama just pounds him down*
Leonard- Oh and no time wasted, Kodama is beating Jakob down quickly. He told Jakob not to even show up tonight, maybe he shold have listened because all of that talking isnt paying any dividens here
Storm- Kodama not only I think id more talented, but on top of the fact he is very angry, and Jakob shot his mouth off makes for this to be a very bad situation for him...
*Kodama chucks Jakob against the turnbuckle, Jakon lands stomach first, and runs and springs off the turnbuckle Jakob is in, and drives his knees down into Jakobs back for a lungblowoer, so hard he flips Jakob over, who flops in the middle of the ring, Kodama gets up, and goes to go after him but Donst grabs his leg as the official checks on Jakob, Kodama kicks him away and goes and picks Jakob up, who pokes him in the eye, rolls him up cover...nothing...he doesnt even get a one count. What he does get is a kick to the face when Kodama rolls through...Jakob flops over again*
Leonard- Oh that Lungblower was fierce, Donst tries to do something but he cant even slow Kodama down, he is on a mission...
Storm- Kodama is focused maybe the most focused I've ever seen him. Kodama not only want to help Tiana but can't, but Kodama hasn't been given the opportunity to shine singles wise, Obariyon has been given that more, so Kodama's showing he can bring it just as hard.
*Kodama *gets Jakobn up and delivers a right hand, and another, Jakob grabs his next one stopping it and deliver a kick to Kodama's middle, Jakob runs at him, and Kodama delivers a dropkick to the head of Jakob. He turns Jakob around and says simply* I told you to stay out of it...*leaps up on Jakobs shoulders, and delivers an Inverted Frankensteiner, a Poision Frankensteiner to some. Jakob flops, cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Kodama looks at Jakob...shakes his head and gets on the top ropes as Jakob staggers up, Donst gets on the ropes* REF! REF HE CANT DO THAT, HE CANT HES CHEATING! LOOK HE'S- *Dosts turns just in time to see Kodama leap AT HIM, and deliver a leaping DDT, yeah he can do that too like his brother, spiking Donsts head right on the ring apron, Donst flops off the apron onto the floor.*
Leonard- Oooooooooh,,,
Storm- Cant say Donst didnt have that coming...
*Kodama turns, Jakob is up dazed, doesnt chance getting on top again. He gets to the apron, springs off toward Jakob, and gets him for a Springboard Flying Blockbuster! Jakob flops limp, cover 1...2...3! PINFALL! Kodama, even with Donst there...takes them BOTH OUT, and advances. He gets up and leaves the ring not wanting to be in the same space as them anymore, heading up to commentary*
Leonard- A Quick punishing match by Kodama there...
Storm- Oh yeah...Kodama might be a dark horse in this Tournament, after seeing that performance, I know what Im in for if it comes down to it...*he leaves, nods to Kodama who's going up to the booth
*Gavin runs back into the ring* A very quick and impressive showing by Kodama, however, the BDK get a chance at redemption here. The Co Leader and commanding Ares, will now be going one on one with the Warking, Eddiiiiiiie, Kingstooooon!
*Screen flickers to Kingston* ...Ares...*claps hands once* My brother...you have gotten me at the worst possible time. See I dont care who you lead I dont care who's on your team I dont care how good you are...you dont want this more than I do right now. You dont have the purpose I have. See because I drew you, I know I cant help baby girls baby girl...and that...that makes me mad, and...when I get bad...*slaps self* I take agression out *slaps self* I take agression out on everything, including myself! ...Ooooh yeah Ares...I like pain, I live for it...the only thing I like better than pain is inflicting it. Thats whats going to happen to you Ares, Im gonna dribble your bald head like a basketball in that ring...Im gonna drop you on your head, Im gonna backfist you until you're 100 years into the future. Tonight Ares...Im gonna make sure...that the Brudershaft and Claudio really take notice to exactly what their dealing with with me, and the Technico roster. Im Eddie Kingston...Ares...Holla at Me...
Leonard- After that chilling promo with me is Kodama. Kodama what do you think of this match?
Kodama- If what I did to Jakob is a slaugher, I dont even want to know what Eddies going to do to Ares...
*Screen flickers to Ares cold expression* Eddie Kingston, you are a nuisance to the Brudershafts plans and have been from the beginning. You speak of pain to be inflicted on me...you are wrong. I shall inflict the pain on you. It is a good thing you like Pain...as I shall inflict plenty of it to you, as I did to Fire Ant, to make you a happy man...in Namen Der Brudershaft...
Leonard- Ares not backing down we'll see if that confidence stays firm...
*The BDK's this music starts, and out marches Ares stoically, and gets in the ring without a word. Makes the cross motion with his hands, and waits*
*Kingston's theme starts up, and out comes Eddie Kingston with a fixed cold gaze of his own...*
Leonard- It got alot colder in here
Kodama- No kidding...
*The bell ring and Eddie runs at Ares and starts forearming hard, Ares forearms back, its a brawl in the middle of the ring to start, Eddie goes for an early backfist, but Ares dodges and gets him in a headlock and applies pressure. Eddie lifts Ares deadweight for a suplex, Ares flops, but gets back up quickly, ducks a Lariet and springs off the ropes, goes at Eddie, but Eddie catches him and delivers a Uranage suplex planting Ares hard cover 1...2...Kickout!*
Leonard- Kingston one step ahead here but this looks like a brawl from the start
Kodama- Oh yeah...alot of pain coming...
*Kingson brings Ares up, goes to forearm him, but Ares counters and kicks Kingston in the middle. Ares picks him up for a suplex but Kingston reverses. Kingston grabs Ares and throws him against the ropes. Ares stops himself from rebounding thinking he's one step ahead but he plays right into Kingstons strategy and Kingston runs and delivers a big Yakuza kick right to Ares head. Ares flops through the middle rope and to the outside*
Leonard- Oh what a Yakuza Kick! Ares might be out cold!
Kodama- If not then he might think he's back in Germany...
*Eddie springs agaisnt the opposite ropes, doesnt get all the momentum he wants, his limping a bit yet. He leaps, and Ares moves, King hits nothing but the floor. Kingston groans in pain holding his leg. Ares sees that, brings Kingston up, hooks his leg, and his head, and delivers the Chinottoplex on the outside just like with Fire Ant, Kingston holds his leg that was driven to the outside ground with that move too*
Leonard- And just like that, Kingstons injury acts up on him here, he has given that no adequete time to heal, and Ares is now going to take advantage
Kodama- Kingston is one of those guys where his neck will be broken, and he'll still come at you swinging so...I never count him out...
*Ares attacks Kingstons leg heavily, Kingston cries out in pain as Ares continues to stomp, punch, and just throw Kingstons leg to the ground. Ares brings up Kingston, underhooks his hands and gets his head under his arm in a DDT style position, and delivers a Tiger suplex to the outside to weaken him more, Kingston flops rolling away dazed. Ares rolls in and out of the ring to reset the count, then brings Eddie up again, and attacks him with Forearms to the back* I told you, you would feel pain! *Ares brings him to the ring, but Eddie elbows Ares in the middle, takes him and shoves him hard, Ares smacks right off the turnbuckle post and falls down, giving Eddie a breather*
Leonard- Ares was really in command up to that point weakening the leg of Eddie Kingston, lets see if Eddie with this beather can get the momentum back
Kodama- That leg has to be bothering him at this point...
*Eddie brings Ares up and puts him on the guardrail, runs for a Yakuza, but his leg buckles showing its been weakened. Ares takes the opportunity, runs at Eddie, grabs his head, and spins, spining him for a Tornado DDT on the outside, Eddie flops limp, Ares gets into a sitting position catching his breath*
Leonard- And there it is Kodama just like we said the leg came into play
Kodama- Now the big question is will it cost Eddie the entire match...
*Ares pauses ...looks to the announce table with a glare*
Leonard- ...Why is he looking here?
*Ares gets in the ring resetting the count, and grabs Eddie, taking him as Ares throws him OVER the guardrail, into the audience, luckily where a row is. Ares grabs Eddie in a headlock, dragging him up the commentary steps. Kodama and Leonard book it away from there quickly. Ares takes Kingston, but Kingston reverses it...chucking Ares right Over the announce table sending him crashing over it into the chairs, Eddie screams as the crowd cheers*
Leonard- Folks we've been driven from the commentary table!
Kodama- Kingstons snapped a bit...
*Eddie gets Ares up for another go, goes to throw him into it agains, but Ares reverses it, and chucks Eddie hard and he flops over the table hard*
Leonard- Our table has become a nasty weapon here
Kodama- And something tells me they arent done...
*Ares gets Eddie on top of the table. He starts delivering forearm shots to the back of Kingston, goes for and underhooks his arms for a Tiger Driver, but Eddie breaks out and forearms him hard, and in the back too. Ares goes for another punch to counter, but Eddie backfists him on the table! Kingston roars and gets him down in a powerbomb position, picks him up though in a piledriver position, lifts...and SPIKES ARES FOR A PILEFDRIVER ON THE TABLE! The table shatters in two, worsening the impact, Kingston lays on the now angled piece of it, while Ares flops over*
Leonard- OOOOOOOH! Piledriver on the table!
Kodama- Im not cleaning that up...
*Eddie rolls out, grabbing Ares's limp body, dragging it back to the ring. Leonard and Kodama retake their seats. Covers 1...2...KICKOUT! *Eddie grunts angrily*
Leonard- Well Ares kicked out wrestling fans but...man...we're gonna need some repairs up here
Kodama- No kidding...
*Kingston gets Ares up for another backfist, but Ares leaps and dropkicks Eddie's knee. Eddie crumples to a knee, Ares brings him up in a belly to back suplex position, gets him up spinning best he can with Eddies bigger size, and Tornado Drivers him in the center of the ring. Ares looks at him not covering, then goes to the top rope, screams* BRUDERSHAFT! *Ares leaps, and delivers a front flip senton right to Kingston, gets up...looks at Eddie, STILL NOT COVERING...and goes to the OTHER rope and delivers ANOTHER front flip senton to Kingston! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! Ares looks up to the official, wide eyed*
Leonard- A Tornado Driver and TWO Sentons cant do it?
Kodama- Told you, never count Kingston out...
*Ares grabs Kingston, and gets him in a Tiger Driver position, flips but Kingston kicks, gets out, and delivers a desperationLariet hard, Ares flops. Kingston doesnt make a cover, he's exhausted. Kingston rolls over, and gets Ares up, hooks under arms behind his back, lifts, and delivers a Tiger Suplex, sinched it right into a pin 1...2...KICKOUT! Kingston groans in pain rolling away*
Leonard- Both of these men have to be feeling the effects of the war they put each other through...
Kodama- Its all going to come down to who can last more...
*Kingston picks him up, and goes for a backfist, but Ares ducks! Ares kicks Kingston in the knee buckling him again, hooks the arms, lifts him, and plants him for a Tiger Driver! Cover 1...2...KICKOUT! *Ares flops, and stares at the ceiling*
Leonard- Ares has to be thinking what more do I have to do to keep Kingston down...
Kodama- Kingston cant be feeling too good right now, I dont see him kicking out of another Tiger Driver...
*Ares picks him up again, Kingston spazzes and Backfists Ares out of sheer reflex/ Ares falls to his knees reeling, so does Eddie, Eddie gets up, and Backfists a dazed Ares again! Ares spins from the whiplash, Eddie takes the advantage, hooks Ares arm around his neck bringing him up, and delivers trhe Backrop Suplex hard! Ares lands right on his head. Kingston breathes a second, then crawls to the limp Ares...covers...1...2...KICKOUT! Kingstons the one now staring at the ceiling*
Leonard- Now Kingstons got to be wondering the same question
Kodama- Somethings got to give Leonard...
*Eddie gets to his knees, and forearms Ares, who forearms back also on his knees. Both exchanging forearms, both getting up on wobbly legs, Ares delivers another forearm, so does Eddie...then Ares defiantly slaps him. There is a pause...then Eddie forearms Ares repeatedly, Ares wobbles, and hits Eddie...its more like a tap ffrom being so disoriented. Eddie breaks and takes Ares Chin, Ares stares at him with tired eyes, Kingston winks at him, and Backfists him hard, Ares falls. Eddie gets him into a sitting postion, motions to hisforearm for the sliding D, puts a strap down. Eddie runs and leaps at him with the Leaping Forearm, butAres dodges...like the Matrix! Ares rolls through and gets up. Kingston runs at him and Ares trips him and takes Kingstons legs, crossing them, turns and sinches the FINMA Lock, a Cross Legged Boston Crab, applying pressure to Eddies lower back and the injured knee. Eddie screams in agony, Della winces in pain*
Leonard- And just when you think Ares is finished, he pulls out a last ditch effort!
Kodama-That legs been worked on this whole match lets see if it pays off for Ares...
*Ares bends back applying pressure, Kingston crawls desperatly, crawling and clawing, the rope seems miles away. About a minute of this, the crowd pouring their support more behind Eddie than Ares, Della being one of the loudest. Eddie with one last gasp of energy, gets to the ropes! Ares has to break the hold, and he does, and falls to his knees when he walks away, he's tapped of energy, as is Eddie...*
Leonard- Who wants it more?
Kodama- Thats the question...
*Kingson gets out on wobbly legs, Ares stumbles at him and Eddie brings up his leg for a Yakuza, and Ares grabs it and elbows it, Eddie bends over in pain, grabs him, hooks his arms for another tiger driver, lifts, put Eddie just kills his weight, and Ares drops him unable to lift, too tired. Eddie breaks out and backfists him, Ares falls to his knees, Eddie runs, and leaps with all hsi head left, and delivers a Sliding D to Ares while he's on his knees, because of that he bends back awkwardly, and goes limp. Eddie crawls, and puts a hand over Ares body, cover 1...2...3! PINFALL! Eddie wins probabaly the hardest fought match in the tournament so far! Eddie rolls to the side taking deep breaths, Della and the entire crowd cheers the effort*
Leonard- And there it is! A big win by Eddie Kingston, and he's going to the next round!
Kodama- Great match by Eddie...I pray I dont face him though...*Kodama leaves as Eddie gets out limping. He gives a nod to Della before heading up to the commentary booth. Workers are relacing with a new table during match intervals. Ares is helped to the back by medical staff and Claudio, and the crowd gives him a good ovation, even if he is evil, the respect the match he just gave them.*
*Della sighs, three matches, and Storm, Kingston, and Kodama wont be the one facing Tiana. she tries not to look nervous and tries to stay calm...but with each passing match that a Technico is called, its less likely her daughter could be saved. She takes a deep breath, and shakes away those thoughts, she has to think positive, and has to stay positive, and know that someone this round will save her daughter...she just hopes, that its a Technico...*
