51. World Heavyweight Title Match

The camera goes back to Church and Sarge at ringside, and they obviously have a bit to say about that...

"Where is Toad GOING?! Isn't he going to watch Mario's great victory over Matt?!" Sarge questioned.

"I don't think he is, he's OUT OF HERE. I don't think he really liked what Mario had to say earlier..." Church noted.

"Why?! Mario is his leader, he's just saying what needs to beg said to make sure Toad succeeds! Toad needs to learn from the greatest Red himself in order to do better! He needs to be here for the greatness, to know what it takes to win! It'll help his own career, I'm sure of it!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Well, Mario DID say he could do it WITHOUT his and the other Kingdom's help. So Toad's just making that the case. He doesn't need Toad here, so Toad isn't going to be here. Isn't that what Mario wants?" Church sarcastically said.

"Well...YEAH! ...I guess. He can show Toad how to do it with him watching from the hotel! The Greatest Champion Ever will show how things are done, and be forever grateful!" Sarge proclaimed.

"Yeah...sure...let's go with that." Church deadpanned. "Either way, with or without, nothing's going to change because coming up next..."

The match card graphic showed up on screen, with a blue and white streak riding through the city, and above the blur was an image of Matt playing a guitar with intensity before playing one last great note and then looking at the camera with intensity as the Crest of Friendship was behind him, then a red and blue streak was shown riding through the city on the other side, an image of Mario above it, putting his signature hat on his head as he holds the World Title over his shoulder with a smug grin on his face, the Mushroom of the Super Mario series behind him...

...and then the two blurs flew up to the middle of the star in the middle of the city and clashed with each other, causing an explosion of colors as the star spun several times, before slowing down. And that revealed Matt on one side, turning from the right towards the camera, running his hands through his hair before pointing towards the camera in a confident manner, and Mario was on the other side, holding the World Title above him and exclaiming "Greatest Champion Ever!" before throwing the title over his shoulder with a smirk, and then the words appeared under them: SUPER MARIO VS. MATT ISHIDA: UCA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP.

"...it's the second of our three main events, and the biggest title match of this night! The Royal Rumble winner, Matt Ishida, challenges Super Mario for the World Heavyweight Championship on UCA's biggest stage!" Church exclaimed.

"Matt doesn't stand a CHANCE! This is SUPER MARIO! The greatest Red who ever lived! Matt expects to win the title off of him?! He doesn't stand a chance! We're about to see a Resurrection die, people!" Sarge proclaimed.

"I don't know if that's going to happen, Sarge, Matt is determined as hell in order to win this match, and it's so very personal after what Mario has done. This one's going to be a fight we won't take our eyes off, and I think these two are going to do whatever they can to each other, all for the World Title." Church called.

The crowd was cheering loudly as they knew the World Title match was next, and it was going to be a hell of match...

...but then the arena was suddenly bathed in dark blue lighting, and a siren suddenly sounded throughout the arena, with white lights going on and off repeatedly, as a guitar was suddenly played with the siren, and it sounded like it was played LIVE...

One more shot

And then I'm over and out

I'm gonna show the non believers what I'm talking about

The lyrics began to be sang, and as smoke was slightly covering the stage, and amid the dark blue lightning, you could clearly see...PEROXYWHY?GEN playing live on the stage, playing their guitars and drums, and the crowd popped at recognizing the stage...

One shot

And then I'm under and gone

I'm gonna show the non believers they are nothing but wrong

And then the crowd popped because who else came out, but JEFF FREAKIN' HARDY, the Enigma himself leading the song as he sang the lyrics to the song he created, live for the Final Clash crowd, playing to them all as the band played the song...

One more way to make it easy for you

Know I'm gonna make it rough until the end

One less way I have to do this for you

Nothing's gonna bring me around the bend

But soon, they began to hear one more guitar in the mix with the rest of the band, one more than what they had playing. And suddenly, someone came out from behind the stage. A man with his head held down, holding a customized blue and white guitar and playing it with intensity, practically rocking out onto the stage...

One more way to get the messaging across now

I gotta do this on my own

One less way I've gotta prove this to you

He now stood in the middle of the band and the stage, bathed in the dark blue lighting and playing the guitar so expertly that people were actually rocking their heads to it, and Jeff Hardy continued to sing, until he reached a certain lyric...

One less way

Gone

Then suddenly, the man jumped up through the air and down onto the stage, SLAMMING his guitar down onto the stage so hard it BROKE, and the moment he did, the lights came back on as a MASSIVE explosion of blue and white pyro came across the stage and Tron in all extravagant manners, and Jeff sang his heart out.

I (One more shot) have been resurrected

One more shot

And then I'm over and out

I'm gonna show the non believers what I'm talking about

("Resurrected" by Peroxywhy?gen)

And the lights now illuminated the rocker as he lifted his head, revealing it to be MATT ISHIDA to an absolutely INSANE pop. His face was actually painted up, with the colors of blue and white and in the manner of Garurumon's fur to make the face look like his partner Digimon. He looked out into the massive crowd before as blue and white flashed all over the arena, the Crest of Friendship flashing on the Tron behind him. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and soaked in the atmosphere. He then slapped hands with Jeff Hardy, and fist bumped him before making his way down the long ramp towards the ring.

Ooh, I (One more shot) have been resurrected

One more shot and then I'm under and gone

I'm gonna show the non believers they are nothing but wrong

Until the day I die

"Here is MATT ISHIDA, making his way to the ring the ONLY WAY he can, in rocking fashion!" Church stated. Just two to three months ago, this man returned to Fiction Wrestling in the Royal Rumble Match. Just before that, he had not been seen in FOREVER. He had been wallowing in depression over what happened with the Destined, his brother TK, and his former girlfriend Sora and Tai. We weren't even sure he would ever return. But he came back at the No. 2 spot in the Rumble, and went over an HOUR to win the WHOLE DAMN THING. And now he's here, in the biggest stage he's ever been in, in the biggest match in his career. To him, this is the culmination of his Resurrection, his revival in Fiction Wrestling. And it's gotta go through Mario, who has put him through hell, and he won't accept anything accept winning the World Title in this match."

One more way to make it easy for you

Know I'm gonna motivate till the end

One last way I'm gonna do this for you

No one's gonna bring me around the bend

One more way to get the messaging across now

"Well he'll have to accept LOSING in the BIGGEST WAY IMAGINABLE, because there's NO WAY he's gonna conquer the greatest Red ever, you damn dirty Blue! NO ONE wanted Matt back, not a single damn person, but of course he can't stay away, so he's gotta try to take the spotlight! Of course he's gotta try to be better than Mario, well too bad, dirtbag, because Mario is gonna CRUSH HIM like his Space Mountain is gonna CRUMBLE because it just can't stand tall!" Church just stared at Sarge incredulously at that. "He picked the wrong Red to battle against, and it's gonna end in PAIN him! Because tonight, his Resurrection DIES...HORRIBLY!"

I've gotta rule this on my own

One last way I have to prove this to you

One last way

And I'm gone

Church just shook his head and continued. "Matt has been part of many big stages before, such as WrestleMania, but he's never been at a Final Clash. And he never's been in a match as big as this. His FIRST main event match on a stage like this, but you see that face paint...he's ready for war. And he's gonna give it his all to win that title."

Matt continued to make his way down the ramp, until he reached ringside, and looked around at the crowd at him before making his way to a side of the ring, and then jumped onto the apron and turned to the fans as he held onto the rope, the fans cheering him wildly as he rocked his head to the song before entering the ring.

I (One more shot) have been resurrected

One more shot

And then I'm over and out

I'm gonna show the non believers what I'm talking about

Matt then made his way to the corner, and climbed it and splayed his arms out, the fans eating it all up. He then lowered his arms and continued to rock his head, before he looked up, and saw the DigiDestined in their seats, as well as his girlfriend, Platinum Berlitz. He nodded towards the Destined, saying "I've got this..." before pointing to Platinum, motioning that this was one for her before she jumped off the corner and walked to the center of the ring.

Ooh, I (One more shot) have been resurrected

One more shot

And then I'm under and gone

I'm gonna show the non believers they are nothing but wrong

Until the day I die

Jeff Hardy and Peroxy?gen ended the song there as the crowd cheered loudly, and Jeff Hardy held up a hand for Matt and made it clear he was cheering his counterpart to pull it off before he and the band made their way to the back.

And Matt Ishida stood in the middle of the ring as the flashy entrance was over, and it was gametime. He looked out at the crowd, who were still loud and chanting "MATT! MATT! MATT!", "RE-SU-REC-TION!", and "FRIENDSHIP! FRIENDSHIP!" and he just slightly grinned at all the fanfare before turning towards the stage, waiting for his opponent. He just wondered how it would happen...

...but then the lights dimmed greatly, leaving the crowd with not much to see on the stage, and suddenly and swiftly, a Mushroom Kingdom pipe rose up through the stage, very tall once it stops, leaving the crowd confused for a bit...

"What the heck is Mario up to? Seriously what is he-"

Church was interrupted by the sound of a piano playing over the speakers...and one word was suddenly shouted...

GLORIOUS!

"OH NO..." Church muttered in horror.

No, I won't give in

I won't give in

Till' I'm victorious

And I will defend

I will defend

("Glorious Domination" by CFO$)

When the music picked up after that, a spotlight suddenly shined down the pipe, and when it did, SUPER MARIO rose up from the pipe in classic Super Mario fashion, wearing an extravagant red and blue robe with the words "Greatest Champion Ever" on the back, and the World Heavyweight Title around his waist. The crowd just rain THUNDEROUS boos on him, as he splayed his arms out in god-like fashion and raised his head to the sky as he stood on top of the pipe. The pipe then began to lower down the ground with Mario still in the pose he was in.

Glorious

No, I won't give in

I won't give in

Till' I'm victorious

And I will defend

I will defend

Eventually, the pipe receded back into the stage, leaving Mario on the stage, and that was when the lights came fully back on. That showed rows of Toads lined up across both sides of the stage, with Piranha Plants lined up next to them, who began firing fireballs into the air and over Mario's head in extravagant display, the Toad singing along to the song as well in a opera like fashion. Banners then dropped down on both sides of the Tron, each one showing Mario holding up a different World Title he's won.

And I'll do what I must

No, I won't give in

I won't give in

I'm so glorious

Until the end

Until the end

Mario then walked down the ramp, arms still splayed out in practically arrogant manner, and as he walked down the ramp, Yoshis of all different colors were lined down the ramp on both sides, and as Mario walked down past them, the Yoshis threw golden ribbons over him from both sides, showering him in gold. And as they did, the UniverseTron began to count from 1, showing all of Mario's reign since he won the title. It kept going, even flashing phrases mid-count such as "Mr. Nintendo," "The Champion of Life," "The G.O.A.T." and of course "The Greatest Champion Ever," until it struck to "430" in big gold letters as the Plants continued to fire fireballs, and the Toad continued to sing in opera fashion.

Glorious

No, I won't give in

I won't give in

Till' I'm victorious

And I will defend

I will defend

"...He just has to feed that giant ego. He just HAS to." Church deadpanned in every manner possible. "Good God...well...here is the World Heavyweight Champion, the man who calls himself 'The Greatest Champion Ever.' And...well...there's an argument for that, unfortunately. He has held almost every World Title imaginable, he's a legend, and he's held that World Title longer than anybody. 430 DAYS. The longest World Title reign in UCA history. Everybody has tried, and everybody has failed to dethrone him. But Matt wants to change that. He wants to be the one to FINALLY end his reign of terror. And Mario...well, considering what he's said to Matt, and what he did to him and his girlfriend, we've SEEN the lengths he'll go to keep his title."

And I'll do what I must

No, I won't give in

I won't give in

I'm so glorious

Until the end

Until the end

"And he WILL keep his title! What chance does Matt have against Mario?! He was right, this is reality, and Matt can't fight! He's not Tai Kamiya, and it's not going to change anything! He doesn't need the Mushroom Kingdom to beat MATT of all people! He's the GREATEST RED! He's our SAVIOR, OUR HERO, and the GREATEST! He will make sure this Resurrection DIES here and now! What makes Matt so special from everybody else?! NOTHING! He's just a dirty Blue like the rest of the Blues! And he will fall to the Greatest Champion Ever! Everyone has! And he will be no different! The reign shall live on, because there is no other outcome!" Sarge proclaimed.

Glorious

No, I won't give in

I won't give in

Till' I'm victorious

And I will defend

I will defend

"Well, Mario knows the big stage better than Matt does. He has been part of two World Title Match at Final Clash before in 1994, and last year, and was in every Final Clash from the start to the mid 1990s. He has more big match experience than anyone else in Fiction Wrestling. Will that help him here? It just may." Church stated.

Mario continued to walk down the ramp with all that over-the-top fare until he reached ringside, and climbed up the steps and entered the ring. He then proceeded to splays his arms out once more, showing off for all the world to see as 100,000 rain down hatred on him. He then climbed up a corner, unhooked the title around his waist and held it high above his head, shouting "GREATEST CHAMPION EVER!" soaking in all the hatred.

And I'll do what I must

No, I won't give in

I won't give in

I'm so glorious

Until the end

Until the end

He held up the title for as long as he could until he came down from the corner as the music ended, and took off his robe before he handed it to ringside. He then turned to Matt, who just kept his eyes on him, and the Champion put his title over his shoulder, the smirk of Mario appearing on his face, as Cait Sith was in the middle of the ring.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall..and is for the UCA WORLD...HEAVYWEIGHT...CHAMPIONSHIP!" Cait Sith announced as the crowd popped, and a graphic of the world showed up on screen before the image of the title spun onto the screen over the world until it stopped for others to see.

"Introducing first, the challenger...from Odaiba, Japan, weighing in at 224 lbs...he is the bearer of the Crest of Friendship, the man who is on a quest of "Resurrection"...he is the winner of the UCA Royal Rumble Match...he is YAMATO "MATT" ISHIDA!" Cait Sith announced.

The crowd exploded as Matt pumped both of his fists into the air, the crowd once again chanting "MATT! MATT! MATT!" before he pointed to Mario to show he was coming for him.

"And the opponent...from Brooklyn, New York, now residing in and representing the Mushroom Kingdom, weighing in at 249 lbs...he is arguably the most recognizable video game character of all time, one of the greatest fictional wrestlers to ever exist...he is the reigning, defending, and longest reigning UCA World Heavyweight Champion of all time...the self-proclaimed "Greatest Champion Ever"...SUPER MARIO!" Cait Sith announced.

Mario raised the title high above him once more and got into Matt's face as he shouted "GREATEST...CHAMPION...EVER!" as Matt just muttered "Not for long..." and Jimmy Aaron, the referee for this match, just pulled the two away from each other. He asked for the title, and Mario looked at it, before kissing it then handing it to Jimmy who then held it up high for all to see, then handed it to ringside. He then checked on both of them, and they simply both nodded, ready to get this going...and then Jimmy rang the bell!

"And HERE WE GO! The RICHEST PRIZE in UCA on the line here! Super Mario versus Matt Ishida, Greatness versus Resurrection, TIME TO FIND WHO LEAVES WITH THE GOLD!" Church called.

Mario and Matt met each other in the ring, eyeing each other for a bit as they raised their arms up, and then Matt went for a lock-up. However, Mario ducked the attempt, and when Matt turned around he got a right to the face. Matt held his face after that shot as Mario smirked arrogantly, and Matt just shook his head before circling Mario once more and readied himself. He then went for another lock-up, but Mario again ducked it, and when Matt turned around, he got ANOTHER right to the face. Matt backed up against the ropes, and rubbed his face, and Mario just chuckled, splaying his arms out and exclaiming "GREATEST...CHAMPION...EVER!" believing he had things well in hand. But then Matt just turned to him in annoyed manner, looking at him for a second before Mario's eyes widened and he ran out of the ring as Matt CHASED him out there! Matt followed after him, and proceeded to chase him around the ring a few times!

"Matt just had enough of Mario's shit and is now after his ass! Mario running around the ring for his life here!" Church called.

"He's just letting Matt have his fun for the moment, giving him a bone! That's what all the greats do!" Sarge exclaimed.

Eventually, Mario slid back into the ring and Matt slid back in after, but Mario nailed a Soccer Kick to the gut as soon as he did. Mario then stomped out Matt several times before picking him and throwing him in the corner, and began to nail rights on him repeatedly, so viciously that Jimmy had to pull Mario away from him and admonish him. Mario just shrugged off Jimmy and wanted to go back to Matt, but Matt suddenly threw him into the corner himself and began throwing furious rights at Mario's skull himself. Mario was stunned and couldn't defend himself from the rights, and then Matt grabbed the arm and Irish Whipped him into the corner as hard as he could! Mario's back hit the corner and he stumbled out of it, and right into a Hip Toss from the Destined! Mario then stumbled back up to his feet, but was brought back down by a beautiful Dropkick from Matt!

"Dropkick off the Hip Toss! Mario tried to get one over on Matt, but that didn't fly and he just got dropped! Not a good start for him." Church said.

"He'll bounce back, because he's the Greatest Red Ever! Matt's just having his obligatory good start, it'll wear off eventually." Sarge proclaimed.

Mario held his chest in pain as he once again got up, but was nailed this by a Swinging Neckbreaker from Matt! Cover from Matt! 1...2...Mario kicks out! Matt quickly picks up Mario, and hits him with a Body Slam to the mat, and then proceeded to climb up the corner after getting on the apron. He managed to reach the top, but Mario had gotten up to try and cut off Matt, but Matt caught him with a right to stagger him back. Matt then stood and dived off and MARIO SIDESTEPPED THE MISSILE DROPKICK! Matt crashed down onto the mat hard onto his stomach, and then he stumbles to his feet, but then Mario bounces off the ropes and nails a Big Boot to the face that brings Matt back down onto his back! Mario then bounced off the ropes, and nails a Senton off them on the Destined and quickly makes a cover! 1...2...Matt kicks out!

"Oh, MISTAKE! Mistake off the Missile Dropkick, and Mario capitalizes! And now momentum's about to swing to Mario." Church called.

"That's where the momentum belongs anyway! Not like Matt was doing any good with it." Sarge stated.

Mario quickly mounts Matt off of that, and begins throwing rights down on the skull of Matt, determined to do as much damage as possible. After at least ten fists and the ref pulling him off, Mario then picked up Matt and Irish Whipped him into the ropes, and caught him on the rebound with a Back Elbow, before running the ropes and hitting a Running Leg Drop across the throat before another. 1...2...Matt kicks out. Mario was getting more and more confident as he stood and watched Matt, and quickly knocked him down with a right. He exclaimed "This all you got?" with a chuckle before he picked up Matt, and Matt suddenly nails a Jawbreaker on him! Mario holds his jaw in pain as Matt gets up, and goes for a kick to the gut, but Mario CATCHES it! Mario just wags a finger before spinning Matt around, grabbing him from behind and FULL NELSON SLAM CONNECTS!

"Full Nelson Slam! With full control of the match, Mario just plants Matt with that with authority! And now a cover!" Church called.

Mario covers Matt!

1...

2...

Matt kicks out at 2.34!

"Matt may have survived that, but they always do! Mario will take his time, he always does." Sarge said confidently.

Mario wastes no time in picking Matt up to a seated position, before nailing a few repeated knees to the back, and then proceeding to put in a Chinlock on him. He pulld back on the chin as his knee pressed against Matt's back, causing Matt great pain, but the crowd clapped repeatedly, trying to will him back in. Eventually, Matt managed to stand up, Mario still having the Chinlock, before grabbing the head and managing to Snapmare him over his shoulder. Mario rolled onto his feet, and Matt grabbed his head and began nailing Forearms to the face repeatedly! He then Irish Whipped Mario into the corner before running and Mario AVOIDS the Corner Splash as Matt hits the turnbuckle face-first! Matt stumbles back a bit, and Mario quickly grabs him from behind and Inverted DDT connects! Cover!

"Inverted DDT connects full-flush! Mario put a stop to Matt gaining momentum, and dropped him! And now another cover!" Sarge stated.

1...

2...

Matt kicks out at 2.29!

"Well, we knew this would go on awhile, but Mario will soon show us all why he's the greatest...by vanquishing his mortal enemy...FRIENDSHIP!" Sarge rambled.

"...Yeaaaaaahhhh no." Church deadpanned.

Mario did not even sweat it, he had full control of this match as he stood up and looked down at Matt, trying to get up, and pretty much knocked him down with a right yet AGAIN. "What's-a wrong, Matty Baby? Spotlight too-a much for ya?" Mario then knocks down Matt again with a right before saying "Well that's-a to be expected. This is a stage only-a reserved for-a ME. Not YOU." And then ANOTHER right to knock Matt down, before he grabbed him by his hair and pulled him up to his knees, holding him up for the Destined and Platinum to watch from their seats, and shouted to him "Hey look! It's your favorite rocker, right where he belongs...kneeling next to me!" Matt tried to fight back after with a few rights, but Mario just knees him in the gut, before grabbing him by the waist and Gutwrench Suplex connects! Mario stood up, and looked down at Matt...before STOMPING his boot into Matt's face, and splaying his arms out with his foot on Matt's face, soaking in all the hatred.

"...Well that isn't total disrespect at all to Matt." Church stated sarcastically. "Complete and utter arrogance by Mario to Matt, I don't think he even thinks Matt is BELOW his level."

"Well why should he? He's the Greatest Red Ever! And how many times has he been on this stage? And Matt has been on this stage and match how many times? ...That's why he's a dirtbag." Sarge proclaimed.

The crowd was now chanting "AAASSSHOOOOLLLEEE!" at Mario, whp just grinned at his dominance and superiority so far before he picked up Matt, and threw him into the corner. He walked over to the opposite corner, rather arrogantly as he seemed nonchalant before running towards Matt WHO SUDDENLY RUNS OUT OF THE CORNER AND NAILS A SLINGBLADE ON MARIO!

"SLINGBLADE! Mario may regret getting that cocky with Matt, because the Destined just caught him like THAT!" Church stated.

"How dare he! That's out great Red general! Who does he think he is?!" Sarge asked.

"The guy who wants take the World Title from him, that's who!" Church exclaimed.

Mario holds the back of his head in pain, and Matt lies on the ground in pain before slowly pushing himself to his feet. He manages to get up just as Mario manages to get to his knees, and Matt FRONT DROPKICKS him in the back to send him FACE-FIRST into the second turnbuckle! Mario held his face in pain as he sat against the corner, and Matt began to STOMP A MUDHOLE in Mario, pretty much fed up with the way Mario was treating him! The stomps kept coming and coming until Jimmy had to pull him away, but Matt just ran to the opposite corner, and ran back to nail a massive Hesitation Corner Dropkick to the seated Mario! Mario fell down and rolled across the mat, and Matt proceeded to climb the corner!

"And Matt's on a DAMN ROLL! He's gaining serious fire as he climbs the corner, and Mario is just down, and waiting to take the pain!" Church called.

"No, Mario, move out of the way! Save yourself...so you can destroy the Blues! You're the only one who can!" Sarge cried out.

Matt had managed to get to the top of the corner, and sized up Mario before diving off...but Mario rolled out of the way! And Matt adjusted himself mid-air so he would roll through the dive, and rolled onto his feet on the mat. Matt turned around and RIGHT INTO A FIREMAN'S CARRY LIFT...

...but Matt managed to slip out from behind Mario, landing on his feet as he grabbed the arm and Irish Whipped him so hard into a corner so hard, he practically went OVER the ropes and corner and crashed down onto the outside!

"FORGET getting sent into the corner, Mario just got sent to the OUTSIDE! He was whipped CLEAR OVER the ropes with a splat!" Church called.

"Someone scoop him up off the floor! We must have him face the enemy at all costs!" Sarge cried out.

Mario writhed in pain, but Matt wasn't done as he waited for Mario to get up on the outside, and the moment he did, he quickly ran towards the corner, practically RUNNING UP IT...

...

...

...AND DIVED OFF IT TO THE OUTSIDE TO CRASH DOWN ONTO MARIO WITH A HUGE DIVING CROSSBODY!

"AND MATT GETS A LITTLE EXTREME! Matt dives to the outside to wipe out Mario with a CROSSBODY!" Church exclaimed.

"You're not extreme anymore, go back to the Attitude Era where you belong, Matt!" Sarge stated.

The crowd exploded as Mario was laid out and Matt rolled off of him, and slowly got up to his feet. With an expression of fire on his face, he picked up Mario and threw him back into the ring and quickly covered him.

"And now a cover, Matt going for the win!" Church called.

1...

...

2...

...

Mario kicks out at 2.45!

"Only two! Only two, but Matt now has control back! And that's bad news for Mario!" Church stated.

"Mario, quick, take control by its hoove and ram it into Matt's torso!" Sarge rambled.

Matt gets on his knees, grabbing Mario's head and pounds on it several times, all the memories of what Mario's done seeping him through him. He then drags Mario off his feet and Irish Whips him into the ropes, and goes for a Back Body Drop, but Mario catches him on the bounce back with an upward kick to the chest to send him up. Mario then bounces off the ropes AND RIGHT INTO A SPINNING WHEEL KICK! Mario holds his jaw as he stumbles up to his feet and turns around RIGHT INTO A FRANKENSTEINER FROM MATT! Matt quickly hooks a leg in a Rana pin!

"FRANKENSTEINER! Out of nowhere, and now the pin off it!" Church called.

1...

...

2...

...

Mario kicks out at 2.43!

"Mario will NOT be defeated by a simple Frankensteiner!" Sarge stated. "For this is...RED...VERSUS...BLU-"

"Shut up, Sarge." Church interrupted.

Mario holds his head as Matt stands up to his feet, and Mario stumbles up to near a corner, where he got a Corner Clothesline for his trouble, and then Matt follows it up with a Running Bulldog out of the corner! Mario holds his face as he gets up but that's as Matt runs to the corner AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF IT TO NAIL A TORNADO DDT ON MARIO! Matt stands up to his feet, the crowd cheering as he feels it, intensity in his eyes as he waits for Mario to get up before grabbing him from behind...

...

...

...and LIFTS HIM FOR THE DIGITAL BREAKDOWN-BUT MARIO QUICKLY NAILS AN ELBOW TO STOP THAT! Matt holds his head as he drops Mario to his feet, but quickly runs at Mario, who sidesteps him, and Matt bounces off the ropes to A VICIOUS LARIAT! Matt practically rolls through it as he stumbles up...

"OH! Lariat! One so damn hard it practically had him roll back onto his feet!" Church called.

...

...

...and Mario bounces off the rope AND NORTHERN LARIAT TO THE BACK OF THE SKULL!

"And Mario was so nice, he gave one to the back of his skull as well! That's Super Mario for you!" Sarge stated.

Mario drops down and turns Matt over for a cover!

1...

...

...

2...

...

...

Matt kicks out at 2.56!

"And Matt survives that, but that's got to hurt the head, and that only helps Mario!" Church called.

Mario stands up to his feet, rubbing his face almost in indignation before muttering to himself that that would not happen again, before he picked up Matt, but Matt breaks free and goes for a kick. But again, Mario simply catches it, wagging a finger as if to say he's too smart for that-BUT HE DIDN'T SEE THE ENZIGURI COMING! Mario staggers about, holding his head in pain, and Matt stands and RUNS FORWARD...

...

...

...and Mario BACK BODY DROPS MATT OVER THE ROPES! But Matt manages to latch onto the top rope to hang onto it, preventing from crashing onto the outside. He then proceeded to Skin the Cat over the ropes...

"Oh wait, Mario didn't get rid of Matt! Matt showing how to Skin the Cat...!" Church called.

...

...

...BUT AS HE WAS UPSIDE DOWN, MARIO CAUGHT SIGHT OF HIM AND KICKED HIM IN THE FACE! MATT FELL OFF THE ROPES AND DROPPED NASTILY ON THE GROUND!

"AND MARIO JUST SHOWED HOW A CAT GOES SPLAT! WHAT WONDERFUL VIOLENCE!" Sarge cheered.

"SON OF A...! Mario caught wind of what Matt was doing, and just gave a kick to the face before Matt could complete it! And the result was NASTY!" Church called.

The crowd gasped in shock as Matt writhed in pain, but Mario quickly slid out of the ring and pulled Matt up, lifted him into his clutches AND FALLAWAY SLAMS HIM INTO THE STEEL STEPS! Matt arched his back in pain, writhing on the ground, as Mario stood up and looked down at Matt, saying "You still want to dance with the big boys, Matty Baby? Still want to keep going?" Matt continued to writhe as Mario talked him down, but Matt just tried to push himself up. Mario took that as an insult as he just kicked Matt down...

...he then went over and grabbed his World Title from the ringside crew despite their protests, stood over Matt and grabbed him by the hair to hold his head up, and held the title to his face, as he exclaimed "You see this?! This is mine! This is for people like me! The greats! The greatest! Not you and your stupid Resurrection! You're no Tai Kamiya! You're NOTHING! This is reality! ACCEPT IT!"

"And MORE disrespect to Matt, just SHOVING the title into his face, as if to BRAG about it. He's trying to degrade Matt at every turn. As if we need anymore evidence of him as an arrogant asshole." Church groaned.

"Hey, he's just telling Matt what is reality! Isn't that what he's been trying to do all month long? He's doing Matt a favor! Matt should be thanking him." Sarge reasoned.

"Yeah, I don't think Matt sees it that way. I think he sees it more as wanting to shove his foot up Mario's ass." Church snarked.

Matt, however, refused to believe that as he tried to push Mario, but the Champ just SLAMMED the back of his head down onto the ground. He then looked and saw the Spanish Announce Table, eyeing it...and just as Lopez and Gonzales said "Of course" in Spanish, Mario had placed his title on the steel steps and BEGAN CLEARING THE TABLE.

"Weeeelll SHIT. I think Lopez and Gonzales are regretting their table still standing because Mario has EVIL PLANS with it now!" Church called.

"The table is ready to give its life for the cause of the Reds! Lopez is going to be so proud!" Sarge reasoned.

"No, I'm not. I don't even like this asshole." Lopez remarked in Spanish.

"Hehe, you said it, Lopez. What a great day it's going to be." Sarge said proudly as Lopez just facepalmed.

After clearing the table, and then entering and exiting the ring to break up the ref's count, he picked up Matt and placed him between his legs. After raising his arm, and exclaiming "GREATEST CHAMPION EVER!", he lifted Matt up into a Prawn Hold...

"It's not going to be a great day for Matt because he's ABOUT TO GO FOR A RIDE!" Church called.

...

...but then Matt grabbed hold of the ring ropes, and proceeded to pull himself off Mario's shoulder and onto the apron! Mario was stunned but when he turned around, he got a back kick to the face to stun him, and Matt then backed up the apron and then proceeded to SOCCER KICK Mario right in the face to send him down to the ground! Mario gets up to his feet in pain, and Matt sees him, and realizes something, so he grasps the ropes, waits for Mario to get up...

"Dammit, who said the dirtbag could save himself like that?! He's supposed to go through the table and-Wait, what is he doing?!" Sarge questioned.

"I think he's about to get even MORE EXTREME...!" Church called.

...

...

...

...AND SPRINGBOARDS OFF THE ROPES AND MARIO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THE TWISTING SPRINGBOARD CROSSBODY! MATT CRASHES ONTO THE SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE THAT DOES NOT GIVE WITH A SPLAT!

"SON OF A BITCH! MATT WENT FOR IT ALL, AND GOT NOTHING! AND THE TABLE DID NOT GIVE AGAIN! MATT JUST FLEW STRAIGHT INTO AN UNFORGIVING TABLE AND HE'S JUST LIKE A FLY ON A WINDOW NOW!" Church called.

"SPANISH ANNOUNCE TABLE, WE SALUTE YOU IN YOUR SERVICE OF MARIO'S KINGDOM! YOU SHALL BE HONORED FOREVER!" Sarge saluted the table.

Lopez and Gonzales...well they just gave the thumbs up to Puma Loco and White Pantera, with Gonzales giving a "Gracias!" to them.

Mario sits against the steel steps, panting at the close call as Matt lays lifeless on the table, the crowd chanting "HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT!" The ref was counting at this point, and was now at 4, so Mario pulled himself and was about to get back into the ring...

...but then stopped himself as he turned to look at the lifeless Matt. He stared at the Destined, before shaking his head, saying "Not that easy for you..." before actually GRABBING Matt off the table, and THROWING him into the ring!

"Wait, what the hell? Mario just had a chance to try and get the countout victory, but he's NOT? That's not like him at all!" Church called.

"He wants to kill this Resurrection! He wants it to die slowly but surely in the ring, and he wants Matt to realize he just SUCKS! The only way he can do that is pinning him 1-2-3 in the ring, and humiliate Matt!" Sarge stated.

"Well then, Mario must REALLY want to kill Matt's Resurrection to do this, and I'm sure he's gonna make every second of it agonizing." Church stated.

Mario slides back into the ring, and Matt is trying to get up despite the pain, but Mario just grabs his head to lift him up, hooks his leg, then Suplex Lift...

...

...

...

...AND FISHERMAN'S BUSTER CONNECTS!

"FISHERMAN'S BUSTER! Mario dropped Matt right on his head, and that just has to make things worse for him!" Church called.

"And now the cover, because how else to follow it up?! Mario keeping the leg hooked!" Sarge stated.

Mario keeps him in the Fisherman hook for a pin!

...

...

Matt kicks out at 2.54!

"Kick out, but Matt's in deep shit! How else can you describe this?!" Church questioned.

"I think I'd describe it as 'YOU'RE SCREWED, YOU DIRTY BLUE!'" Sarge shouted.

However, Mario held onto Matt's head as he kicked out and rolled up to his feet with him, before lifting him and DROPPING HIM FACE-FIRST WITH A GOURDBUSTER! Matt bounced off the mat and onto his knees from the impact AND RIGHT INTO A KNEELING DDT FROM MARIO IN ONE SWIFT MOTION!

"GOURDBUSTER! DDT! One after the other, Mario wasting no motion on this! And Matt is out!" Church called.

"And now we can call it a day every day! Because that's just over with him and his Resurrection!" Sarge exclaimed.

Mario hooks the leg tightly!

1...

...

...

2...

...

...

Matt kicks out at 2.51!

"No, it's NOT over with the Resurrection! Matt surviving through this onslaught after his disaster, but for how long?!" Church questioned.

"Not much longer, because look at him, he's on his final legs! He screwed himself, and now he pays the price!" Sarge proclaimed.

Matt held his head as he tried to push himself up, but Mario just grabbed him and threw him into the corner, seating him against it, and proceeded to stomp on him viciously. The stomps kept coming and coming in brutal fashion, and then Mario just buried his foot into Matt's face, trying to crush it against the corner. It got so bad, Jimmy had to again interfere, and Mario managed to get a Facewash in before pulling away. Mario then gained a smirk on his face, believing he had all of this in the bag...

"And Mario just having his way with Matt, not even worrying at this point. I mean, look at that smirk of his and...wait...WAIT..." Church began.

...but it disappeared once he saw Matt STILL trying to get up, STILL fighting as he grabbed the ropes to pull himself up.

"Matt...he's STILL getting up?! HOW?! WHY?! Why is he still trying to keep going?!" Sarge questioned.

"How about the fact he doesn't want everything he's worked for to go to waste? He doesn't want to lose to Mario now! And he certainly doesn't want his Resurrection to die at his hands! So he's still fighting, pain be damned!" Church stated.

Mario scowled as he stomped on Matt's face once again into the turnbuckle, exclaiming to him "You-a really want more?! Do you?!" Matt gritted his teeth and grabbed the ropes to try and pull himself up, but Mario stomped on him again and just grabbed him by the hair and held him up by it to stare into his face. "You really need to learn your place, Matty Baby! This is reality! You on the ground before me is where you belong! But you want to keep going...let me oblige you."

...and then he lifted Matt into a Fireman's Carry lift, even carrying him around his shoulders with a casual stride to him as if he was carrying he was dead weight.

"And Mario has Matt up on his shoulders, and look at him...just acting so nonchalant with it...he truly thinks he has this in the bag with Matt." Church called.

"He does! Why do you think he's the Greatest Champion Ever? ...NOW FINISH HIM OFF!" Sarge urged.

Mario then turned around, readied himself with an arrogant grin before running full throttle...

...

...

...

...AND MATT GRABS HOLD OF THE HEAD AS HE ROLLS FORWARD, TURNING THE NINTENDOZER INTO A DDT WITH MARIO'S OWN MOMENTUM!

"DDT! DD-FREAKIN'-T! MATT TOOK ADVANTAGE OF MARIO'S ARROGANCE, AND JUST TURNED THE NINTENDOZER INTO A DDT OF ALL THINGS! MARIO JUST GOT DRILLED ON HIS HEAD!" Church stated.

"THAT DOESN'T COMPUTE! THAT DOESN'T COMPUTE! WHO ALLOWED IT TO HAPPEN?! WAS IT GRIF?! I'LL MAKE THAT SOLDIER PAY!" Sarge cried out.

Matt's head bounced off the mat and he was laid out, as Matt held his body in pain as he tried to recover as the crowd cheered. Eventually, Matt began to get up to his feet, crawling over to the corner, and as he did this, Mario eventually got up himself, holding his head in great pain. Now thoroughly ticked, Mario managed to stumble to his feet, see Matt near the corner and charge toward him BUT GOT FLAPJACKED FACE-FIRST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! Mario staggered out of the corner off that, holding his face BUT THEN GOT A GERMAN SUPLEX FROM BEHIND BY MATT! Mario rolled backwards onto his knees in a daze AND THEN GOT A SHINING WIZARD TO THE SKULL FROM MATT!

"SHINING WIZARD! That reversal gave Matt life! Matt starting to catch fire once again as Mario is reeling!" Church called.

"Quick, Mario, eat a Mushroom so you can grow several sizes! Isn't that what you do in your games?!" Sarge questioned.

Mario held his face in pain as he rolled away from Matt, who slowly got up to his feet, shaking his head up and down as he began to feel the energy. He then saw Mario stumbled up to his feet, and then began to strike him, nailing rights and chops repeatedly, switching between them to deal maximum damage. He then grabbed the arm and looked for an Irish Whip, but Mario reversed with one of his own, but Matt bounced back with a Flying Forearm to the face! Matt rolled to his feet as Mario stumbled back up, and caught him with a Running Sleeper Slam! Mario rolled over to the corner and stood up against it, and Matt then ran full throttle at Mario, but got CAUGHT with a vicious Elbow Smash to the face that sent him back a bit! Mario then pulled himself up to the top of the corner ONLY TO GET DROPKICKED OFF IT BY MATT! MARIO FALLS OVER THE ROPES AND CRASHES TO THE OUTSIDE NASTILY!

"OH! Matt repaying Mario for causing him to crash to the outside by Dropkicking him off the corner to the outside! Did you see the way he landed?!" Church questioned.

"I did see, and it was horrible! How could he do that to him?! Mario was just being the great that he is!" Sarge said.

"Yeah, great at being an asshole!" Church replied.

Mario writhed in pain, but Matt was not done as he stood, sizing up Mario and once he saw Mario pull himself up in pain, he ran the ropes as fast as he could...

...

...

...HE NAILED A SUICIDE DIVE ON MARIO, SENDING HIM INTO THE BARRICADE! Mario gritted his teeth in pain, but Matt wasn't done as he instantly slid back into the ring, ran the ropes once more...

"SUICIDE DIVE! Matt hit Mario with all he had with that one, and HE'S NOT DONE...!" Church exclaimed.

...

...

...AND HIT ANOTHER SUICIDE DIVER ON THE CHAMP! Mario was sent into the barricade once again, but Matt AGAIN slid into the ring like crazy, ran the ropes even FASTER...

"And ANOTHER SUICIDE DIVE! And shit, he's STILL GOING...!" Church called.

"NOT AGAIN!" Sarge exclaimed.

...

...

...

...AND NAILS A THIRD SUICIDE DIVER, THIS ONE SENDING MARIO OVER THE BARRICADE AND INTO THE CROWD!

"YES AGAIN! A THIRD SUICIDE DIVE, SENDING MARIO INTO THE CROWD! AND THIS CROWD LOVES IT, THEY ARE GOING CRAZY AT THE FEROCITY OF MATT!" Church called.

"DAMMIT, WHY DID HE HAVE TO BE ON AN EXTREME TEAM BEFORE?! THIS WOULDN'T BE HAPPENING IF THAT WASN'T THE CASE!" Sarge exclaimed.

Matt stood up and leaned against the barricade, splaying his arms as the crowd cheered like crazy, the fans at ringside practically hanging onto him as they chanted "RE-SUR-REC-TION!" over and over! And then Matt reached over to grab Mario and pull him back over the barricade and throw him into the ring. He then got on the apron and climbed up the corner as Mario groggily stood up...

...

...

...AND MATT NAILS A DIVING BLOCKBUSTER ON HIM!

"And Matt with the Diving Blockbust, nailing it perfectly! And now a cover off of that!" Church called.

Matt quickly hooks the leg as much as he can!

1...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

Mario rolls the shoulder out 2.65!

"Mario won't be stopped by that! He can't be stopped! He will not be stopped! ...So get up, Mario! Please!" Sarge begged.

Matt gets up to his feet and pulls Mario up to his feet, but Mario suddenly nails a Shoulder Jawbreaker on the challenger! Matt holds his jaw as Mario quickly runs the ropes, and MISSES a Lariat! Matt ducked it, hooking the arm and quickly spinning both of them around until he had them both in position as he had grabbed Mario, and LIFTED HIM...

...

...

...Mario suddenly brings Matt down with a Headlock Takeover off that, avoiding the Digital Breakdown! Matt rolls onto his feet and charges at the Champ...

...

...

...

...BUT RUNS RIGHT INTO A TILT-A-WHIRL BACKBREAKER FROM MARIO!

"MATT RAN RIGHT INTO A BACKBREAKER! Spun RIGHT down across the knee and that's gotta be painful!" Church stated.

Matt arched his back in pain as Mario quickly hooks the leg!

"Not as painful as LOSING THIS MATCH WILL BE! Because there's a cover now!" Sarge proclaimed.

1...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

Matt kicks out at 2.67!

"No, a kickout! Matt hanging on, and Mario getting a little frustrated at this point, as you can see." Church stated.

Mario was miffed at Matt still kicking out, so he brought him back up and nailed a few vicious Forearms to the face before running the ropes AND RIGHT INTO A LEG LARIAT...WHICH HE CAUGHT! He caught Matt on his shoulders, and Matt's eyes widened as he punched the head of Mario to get him to let go, but Mario held on and RUSHED TOWARDS THE ROPES...

"Oh shit, bad move by Matt, this is gonna end badly!" Church called.

...

...

...But Matt suddenly ROLLED OVER the shoulders of Mario to get out of it, to execute a Sunset Flip Pin...

...

...

...

...but Matt doesn't go with the pin BECAUSE HE STOOD UP GRABBING THE LEGS AND TRIED TO LOCK IN THE DIGIVITALIZER!

"MAYDAY MAYDAY! ABORT, MARIO! SAVE YOURSELF FROM BEING DIGIVITALIZED!" Sarge cried out.

"MATT GOING FOR THE DIGIVITALIZER! MATT TRYING TO TURN MARIO OVER AND HE'S FIGHTING FOR HIS DEAR LIFE!" Church called.

Matt tried to turn Mario over on his stomach to lock it in and get Mario to tap, but Mario was struggling and flailing about, wanting to avoid that at all costs! Frustrated with the fighting, Matt kept up trying to turn him...

...

...

...

...but then Mario rolled his legs, THROWING Matt off his legs and down to the mat! Matt quickly rolled onto his feet, but Mario had gotten up and quickly floated over to behind Matt, grabbing him in an Inverted Facelock! He then lifted him up...

...

...

...but then Matt FLIPPED out of the Inverted Suplex and to behind Mario! He then grabbed him from behind AND NAILED THE DIGITAL BREAKDOWN! MARIO'S FACE MET MATT'S KNEE!

"DIGITAL BREAKDOWN! Matt finally got and just drove Mario's face into his knee with his authority!" Church called.

"Dammit, not good! We need more help for Mario! HELP!" Sarge called out.

Mario was laid out as Matt quickly covers him!

"No one's going to help him because here's the cover!" Church called.

...

...

...

...

Mario kicks out at 2.83!

"KICKOUT! Too close! That was too close for comfort! The Reds nearly had a heart attack!" Sarge held his chest.

"Only two, and Matt getting a little frustrated himself here! He knows the more Mario stays in this, the worse it'll be for him!" Church stated.

Matt just slapped a hand onto the mat in frustration, but he kept his cool as he stood up...and motioned that it was time for the end as the crowd cheered. He then picked up Mario, and had him in Suplex position and LIFTED HIM...

"I think it's time for a Rocker Smash here!" Church stated.

...

...

...

...but Mario dropped back down to his feet AND LIFTED MATT INSTEAD...but Matt flipped over Mario to land behind, while still holding the head AND NECKBREAKER SLAM CONNECTS! Mario holds his neck as he rolls away and Matt waits for him to get up, and once he did, Matt runs at him...

...

...

...but Mario LIFTS him up overhead towards the corner, behind him and Matt actually LANDS on top of the corner with startling ease!

"Matt avoids disaster and he just lands on that corner, and he's going to dive!" Church called.

...

...

...BUT MARIO GETS AN ARM UNDER MATT AND ONE-ARM POWERBOMBS HIM OFF THE TOP WITH AUTHORITY!

"OR HE'S GONNA GET BOMBED TO HELL! RED-STYLE! THAT'S WHAT HE DESERVES!" Sarge cheered.

"MARIO JUST PULLED MATT OFF THE CORNER WITH ONE ARM WITH A BRUTAL POWERBOMB! JUST LIKE THAT! AND HE'S FOLDED UP FOR THE PIN!" Church exclaimed.

Mario folds Matt up off that for a pinning of the shoulders!

1...

...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

...

Matt kicks out at 2.75!

"KICKOUT! Kickout just before two! And Mario...well, the frustration is mounting. I don't think he likes Matt still being in this." Church said.

Mario was now getting more and more ticked at Matt persevering, because he shouldn't do this so much, so he stood up and pulled Matt up by the collar and began to exclaim, "Just die-a already! You're a poor man's excuse for-a Tai Kamiya! You're-a Resurrection is a farce! This is my moment, not yours! Give it u-" And Matt just PUNCHES Mario in the square in the jaw! The crowd popped as Mario held his jaw and Matt began to nail several more rights to the face, getting sick of Mario, but GOT A KNEE LIFT TO THE FACE! Matt was dazed as Mario grabbed his arm and Irish Whipped him into the corner...

"Matt STILL defiant in the face of this crap, but Mario looking to put an end to that here and now..." Church called.

...

...

...but Matt CLIMBED UP AND DIVING CORKSCREW SENTONS OFF IT ONTO MARIO!

"WAIT, HE'S FLYING! Don't fly like that, you shouldn't!" Sarge cried out.

...

...

...but Mario HAD ROLLED THROUGH IT CATCHING MATT BY THE WAIST AND STANDING UP WITH HIM IN A GUTWRENCH!

"...Weeeeeelll shit." Church simply stated.

"Hehehehe...time for a dirtbag to get Sarge'd. It's so great to watch." Sarge said proudly.

Mario just grinned like the arrogant ass he was, and simply mouthed "All too easy..." before Gutwrench Powerbombing him WHICH DIDN'T GO THROUGH BECAUSE MATT HAD TURNED THE LIFT INTO A HURRICANRANA BEFORE GETTING BOMBED! Mario was sent down across the mat and stood up in shock AND GOT A BOOT TO THE SKULL! Mario spun from the impact, and quickly got hooked from behind...

...

...

...

...AND DROPPED WITH A HALF-AND-HALF SUPLEX ONTO HIS HEAD!

"DAMN! Where the hell did that come from?! Mario had Matt, but then Matt just became the one who dropped Mario! Half-and-Half Suplex off all of that!" Church called.

"I hate when things don't go according to the script! It clearly says that that shouldn't happen! One of our mortal enemies must be helping him! GET HIM!" Sarge rambled.

Mario was laid out as Matt quickly gets over to a corner, and holds up a hand to urge Mario to get up, as he got antsy. Mario slowly stumbled up to his feet and stood up near a corner, and Matt ran full speed...

...

...

...AND MARIO MOVES OUT OF THE WAY OF THE HELLUVA KICK! Matt's leg gets hung across the top turnbuckle, and he grits his teeth in pain as he drops his leg and holds it! And as he does that, Mario runs the ropes, and the moment Matt turns around, THE CHAMP NAILS HIM WITH A VICIOUS LARIAT!

"YES! LARIAT! Only the Greatest Lariat Ever!" Sarge called.

...

...

...

...WAIT! Matt HELD ONTO THE ARM! He held onto it as Mario went down to the mat, rolls through the Lariat and over the arm...

"HEY! Matt rolled through it! MATT ROLLED THROUGH IT!" Church called.

...

...

...

...AND LOCKS IN THE CROSSFACE IN ONE FLUID MOTION! CROSSFACE LOCKED IN AS MARIO'S EYES WIDENED!

"CROSSFACE! CROSSFACE! WHAT A COUNTER! MATT HELD ONTO THE ARM OF THE LARIAT TO ROLL THROUGH IT INTO A CROSSFACE! THE SIGNATURE SUBMISSION OF TAI AND SORA IN XCW! MARIO'S GOT NOWHERE TO GO!" Church shouted.

"DON'T TAP, MARIO! DON'T TAP! WE MUST PRESERVE RED SUPERIORITY OVER THE BLUES! THEY CANNOT WIN! THE WORLD TITLE MUST REMAIN WITH US AT ALL COSTS!" Sarge urged Matt.

The crowd exploded as they chanted "TAP! TAP! TAP!" and Mario's hand was flying about, trying to reach for something that was not there! Mario pulled at the hands of Matt around his face, but Matt just responded by pulling on the face even more! Mario cried out in pain and tried to reach for the ropes, but he was in the middle of the ring, so he was trapped, and he raised his arm...

...

...

...

...and the arm shook, and it trembled as the crowd stood on its feet...

"Oh man, Mario's got a hand in the air...it's shaking! The pain may be too much!" Church called.

"Survive! SURVIVE!" Sarge demanded.

...

...

...

...

...AND MARIO SUDDENLY ROLLED BACKWARDS TO ROLL MATT ONTO HIS BACK! ...BUT MATT HAD ROLLED RIGHT THROUGH IT TO KEEP THE CROSSFACE LOCKED IN!

"And Mario ROLLS MATT ONTO HIS BACK-ONLY FOR MATT TO ROLL RIGHT THROUGH IT! CROSSFACE STILL LOCKED IN AND MATT REFUSING TO LET IT GO THAT EASILY!" Church shouted.

"NOOOOOOOOOO! WHY?! WHY DID YOU HAVE TO DO THAT?! YOU WEREN'T SUPPOSED TO WIN ANYWAY!" Sarge exclaimed.

The crowd cheered as Matt still had the hold locked in...BUT IT BOOED...

...

...

...BECAUSE MARIO HAD GOTTEN HIS FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE BEHIND HIM! HE USED THE ROLLING TO GET HIM CLOSER TO THE ROPES!

"Wait, what?! Mario got a FOOT on the ropes?! Dammit, he used the rolling to get him closer to the ropes since he couldn't get there by crawling! Sneaky SOB!" Church called.

"He has great ring awareness, and that's what makes him the greatest! He knew exactly where to roll in order to do it, and now Matt's gotta let go! SO LET GO, DIRTBAG!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Matt thought he had it! He thought he had him, and that's gotta get to him BADLY!" Church stated.

Jimmy pulled at Matt, telling him to let go and he did, and he was frustrated because he thought for sure he had it. He just shook his head at letting that happen to him, but he had to act, so he quickly grabbed Mario, but MARIO SUDDENLY PULLED HIM TO THROW HIM OUT OF THE RING...

...

...

...but Matt manages to hold onto the ropes so he can land on the apron! He quickly stands back up as Mario does and nails an Inverted Hotshot across the ropes! Mario holds the back of his head in pain as Matt quickly goes over to the corner, and climbs it to the top as Mario turns around...

...

...

...

...and he dives RIGHT INTO A SPINNING SPINEBUSTER, MARIO CATCHING HIM IN MID-AIR!

"FLYING DOES NOT PAY OFF! One too many risks just results in a damn Spinebuster out of the air! Matt's laid out!" Church called.

"And it's time for him to sing his swan song because he is DONE! FOREVER!" Sarge exclaimed.

Mario quickly rolls over onto Matt and hooks the leg with a fervor!

1...

...

...

...

...

2...

...

...

...

...

MATT KICKS OUT AT 2.79!

"He is NOT done! Matt with another kickout, he is NOT staying down! And for someone like Mario, that's just starting to kill him!" Church stated.

"Of course it is, Matt's Resurrection is nothing but hogwash! We must fight against it...like we do GRAVITY!" Sarge proclaimed.

"...What?" Church questioned with bafflement.

Mario holds his head in frustration, before turning to Jimmy and shouting that it was three, but the ref maintained it was three. Just ticked at this point, he quickly grabs Matt off his feet, and nails a Suplex on him! He holds on though and then rolls to his feet to nail a second Suplex on Matt. And then he STILL holds onto quickly roll back to his feet, and nail a THIRD Suplex, to complete the trifecta! Mario stands up to his feet, points a finger in the air and shouts "SUUPPPEERR MAARIIIOOO!" before actually mocking KICKING DIRT at the downed Matt behind him, before he began climbing the corner...

"And Mario showing exactly what he thinks of Matt, there is no end in sight to that, but we all know Mario's looking for an end for himself as he climbs!" Church called.

...

...

...he managed to reach to the top of the corner, and was about to dive off BUT MATT HAS SUDDENLY GOTTEN AND NAILED A RUNNING DROPKICK TO HIS SKULL! Mario was dazed off the top, and Matt quickly climbed up the corner as fast as he could...

...

...

...he then grabbed Mario as he was up top, BUT MARIO SUDDENLY LIFTED HIM INTO A FIREMAN'S CARRY! He stood tall on to as the crowd got on their feet...

"It's time...TIME FOR THE DESTINED TO BE NINTENDOZED ALL THE WAY TO HELL!" Sarge proclaimed.

...

...

...

...BUT MATT ELBOWED MARIO IN THE HEAD! Mario held on, but Matt kept on elbowing the skull of the Champion which eventually forced him to let go. The challenger landed on top of the corner in front of Mario AND GRABBED HIM FROM THE SIDE...

"Matt escapes at the last second and he's GOT A HOLD OF MARIO...!" Church called.

...

...

...

...

...AND NAILS THE GUITAR SUPLEX (Side Suplex Powerslam) OFF THE TOP WITH AUTHORITY!

"OH GOD! GUITAR SUPLEX! OFF THE TOP ROPE! MATT NAILED ALL OF IT AS HARD AS HE COULD! THE FINISHER FROM WWE HAD SUPER PUT ON IT JUST FOR MARIO! THAT'S GOTTA BE IT!" Church exclaimed.

"NOT A SUPER GUITAR SUPLEX! ANYTHING BUT THAT! THE HORROR! THE GREATEST CHAMPION EVER DOESN'T DESERVE THIS! MAYBE THE BLUES DO, BUT NOT THAT! WE CAN'T SALUTE THE END OF THE REIGN!" Sarge cried out.

The crowd EXPLODED as Mario bounced off the mat with impact and onto his stomach without life, and Matt laid on the mat in pain off that, but he slowly managed to crawl over to Mario...

...

...but Mario rolled out of the ring off the impact of the Super Guitar Suplex!

"Huh? What? He rolled out? ...HE ROLLED OUT OF THE RING! VICTORY! The reign lives on! The Reds are still superior! And the Resurrection is just like Grif! YEEEESS!" Sarge cheered.

"Mario ROLLED OUT OF THE RING! Matt took TOO LONG to get to the cover, and Mario used the momentum of the impact to roll out of the ring! The experience of Mario paying off again, and Matt has got to be DEVASTATED!" Church called.

Matt's eyes widened in shock and disbelief before he held his hair in pure frustration, unable to believe that had slipped away from him. Now pounding the mat in anger, he then pulled himself out of the ring to the outside, where he had picked up Mario's body, dragging it up and throwing it into the ring. He then slid back in as Mario was trying to get up, and quickly pulled him to his feet before nailing a Knife Edge Chop to the chest for a "Woo!" from the crowd. Then he nailed another and another as Mario was backed into the corner, before he went on a FRENZY Chopping the hell out of Mario's chest in rapid fashion, turning the chest red as a result. After twenty chops, Matt ran over to the opposite corner BEFORE RUNNING FULL SPEED AT MARIO...

"Matt, frustration in every Chop he just laid in, wanting to try and take out Mario off this attack here and now!" Church stated.

...

...

...

...AND MARIO DUCKS THE RUNNING CORNER DROPKICK! Matt's body practically flies over Mario's body, and the Champ LATCHES onto the legs as it does before adjusting and walking out of the corner HOLDING ONTO MATT'S LEGS, THE CHALLENGER HANGING UPSIDE DOWN BEHIND MARIO...

"...Crap crap crap! That's gotta be what Matt's thinking right now!" Church exclaimed.

"It sure is..." Sarge began.

...

...

...

...AND INVERTED ALABAMA SLAMS HIM FACE-FIRST INTO THE MAT WITH AUTHORITY!

"...AND IT WON'T HELP HIM! Because that's what happens when you're a dirty Blue!" Sarge stated.

"INVERTED ALABAMA SLAM! Mario reacting and countering just like that, and Matt paying the price!" Church called.

Matt was laid out face-first on the mat, but then Mario quickly hooks his arms from behind, and DEADLIFTS HIM OFF THE GROUND...

...

...

...

...AND NAILS A TIGER SUPLEX ON MATT, BRIDGING IT!

"TIGER SUPLEX! Mario just DEADLIFTED into that, and now there's a bridge off dropping him on his head!" Church called.

"And now, Matt..." Sarge began.

MATT KICKS OUT AT 2.83!

"You Just...made me me ANNOYED. Hmmm...this dirty Blue is more tenacious than I thought...he must be dealt with or ELSE..." Sarge muttered.

"Matt again surviving! He's taking everything Mario's throwing at him and getting through it! He just will not die!" Church called.

Mario held his head in pure frustration as he lied on the mat, wondering why he wouldn't stay down for a damn three. Gritting his teeth, he stood up to his feet before pulling Matt to his feet, and then staring at him face-to-face...and just shaking his head in disgust before turning him and TRIED TO LOCK IN THE MARIO FINALE FROM BEHIND...

"Well, it may die now BECAUSE THE MARIO FINALE IS HERE!" Sarge exclaimed.

...

...

...

...but Matt struggled as Mario tried to lock in, and suddenly Matt THREW Mario over his shoulder and across the mat! Mario rolled to his feet and RIGHT INTO MATT PULLING HIS LEGS OUT FROM UNDER HIM AND TRYING FOR THE DIGIVITALIZER...

"No, the finale is not here, but maybe a DIGIVITALIZER IS!" Church called.

...

...

...

...but Mario managed to KICK Matt off of him and down towards the mat! Matt quickly scrambled to his feet as Mario did and MARIO LIFTED HIM ONTO HIS SHOULDERS...

...

...but Matt managed to slip out behind Mario! The Champ turned around and caught a kick from Matt before spinning Matt around with AND DUCKS A DRAGON WHIP FROM HIM! Matt gets up AND GETS GRABBED AND PLANTED WITH A SIDE SLAM BACKBREAKER!

"SIDE SLAM BACKBREAKER! That exchange of moves ending with Mario on top, but Mario knows he's gotta stay on top of him!" Church stated.

"And he will, because that's what he does! When has he not?! Watch greatness at work!" Sarge

Mario quickly grabs the writhing up the mat, wanting to finish things quickly, and tries for an Olympic Slam after he grabbed Matt from behind...

...

...

...but Matt had turned into a Snap Arm Drag after he was lifted, sending Mario down across the mat! The Champ quickly rolls back onto his feet, and sidesteps an incoming Matt, who bounces off the ropes RIGHT INTO A LIFT FROM MARIO...

...

...

...

...but Matt had quickly floated over Mario off that, grabbed him from behind AND LIFTS HIM AND PLANTS HIM WITH AN INVERTED MICHINOKU DRIVER!

"Well I just watched THAT work! Mario dropped on his head via Inverted Michinoku Driver! Now THAT is a hell of a maneuver!" Church called.

"Dammit, I hate when the Blues get innovative! It just doesn't feel right...like zombies...those MONSTERS!" Sarge exclaimed.

Matt holds Mario down for the cover!

"COVER! Matt has Mario down and out!" Church called.

MARIO KICKS OUT AT 2.85!

"KICKOUT! Mario proves his tenacity once again! All those who doubt it should FALL! Like the Blues they are!" Sarge exclaimed.

"Matt failing to put Mario away for the three count! Mario's an asshole, but he is a tough asshole! And Matt's gotta find a way to get past that sooner or later!" Church stated.

Matt slapped the mat in frustration, wondering what he had to do before he stood up and dragged Mario up to his feet, but then Mario suddenly nails an Inverted Atomic Drop on him! And he follows it up with an Overhead Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Matt stumbles up to his feet holding his back, but Mario grabs him and LIFTED MATT ONTO HIS SHOULDER...

...

...

...

...but Matt managed to slip out and land behind Mario and GRABS HIM AND PLANTS HIM WITH A HALF-NELSON NECKBREAKER! Mario held his neck in pain as Matt managed to get up, and pulls Mario up to his feet, grabs him in Suplex position...

"Matt looking to end things here! He's got Mario hooked up!" Church called.

...

...

...

...AND MARIO SUDDENLY LIFTS HIM AND PLANTS HIM WITH A VERTICAL SUPLEX POWERBOMB!

"OH DAMN! Mario just flatout planted Matt out of nowhere! Rocker Smash lifted into a Vertical Suplex Powerbomb of all things!" Church called.

"And THAT is why Mario is so great! Reversals like that which cause PAIN! AND HURT! AND HOPEFULLY BLUES SUFFERING!" Sarge exclaimed.

Mario has Matt in a pinning position off that!

"And now it's time for the cover! Matt..." Sarge began.

MATT ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT AT 2.85!

"You Just Got...well, son of a bitch." Sarge deadpanned.

"And Matt KICKS OUT AGAIN! Matt still in it...and Mario's about to blow a GASKET! He thought he had that, and now it's getting into very frustrating territory!" Church stated.

Mario held his head, an expression of pure frustration crossing his face at this point, and he just stands up over Matt and exclaims "How many-a times do I have-a to tell you?! You're not on my level! This stage isn't for you! And THAT title is MINE! Because I'm the GREATEST CHAMPION EVER! You-a hear me?!" He then SHOVED Matt's head down as he was trying to get up before BOOTING it to keep him down before saying "...And you're-a nothing but TRASH," before he pulled Matt up, and began hooking him up from behind...

"And MORE abuse of Matt at this point, I think he ENJOYS doing that! And Mario looking for the finale once more to finish things...!" Church called.

...

...

...

...but Matt SUDDENLY NAILS AN OVERHEAD KICK BEFORE THE MARIO FINALE WAS LOCKED IN! The leg struck the skull, and Mario lets go and staggers back holding his head but then gets grabbed by Mario and EXPLODER SUPLEX CONNECTS! Mario was off on that as he stumbled to his feet, and Matt quickly gets up to his feet, and once Mario is up, he leaps towards the ropes...

"Dammit, he got out of the Mario Finale! MARIO, LOOK OUT!" Sarge warned.

...

...

...AND SPRINGBOARD BACK ELBOW CAUGHT! IT WAS CAUGHT AND MARIO LOCKS IN THE MARIO FINALE OFF THAT!

"OH SHIT, MARIO CAUGHT HIM! MARIO SNATCHED HIM OUT OF MID-AIR! MARIO FINALE LOCKED IN! AND IT MAY BE THE FINALE FOR MARIO'S RESURRECTION HERE AND NOW!" Church shouted.

"CHOKE THE LIFE OUT OF HIM, MARIO! WRENCH IT AWAY AND MAKE HIM TAP! MAKE HIM TAP SO THAT REDKIND CAN FOREVER BE AMAZED, AND GRAVITY CAN KNOW IT'S MASTER!" Sarge exclaimed.

Matt flailed around like crazy, his arm flying about as he felt the Cobra Clutch damaging him more and more, and Mario just wrenched on it! He yelled at Matt to give up, and that this was where he leaned his place, but Matt refused to die! He tried to reach for the ropes, but he was always pulled back to the center of the ring, and Matt had nowhere to go! Matt's face was contorted in pain as Mario's smirk had returned, enjoying what he was doing, and he felt the victory was near! And Matt slowly slumped down...

...

...

...

...his hand was raised up, almost in contemplation, because the life was being pulled from him...

"The arm is raised...he may have no choice, he's got to be in a lot of pain...!" Church called.

"TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP TAP!" Sarge kept repeating.

...

...

...

...it nearly hit the arm of Mario for the tap out, and Mario just eagerly awaited, ready to exclaim "Greatest Champion Ever!"...

...

...

...but Matt just clenched his hand and pulled his hand down, REFUSING to give in!

"And Matt just said 'F*CK THAT'! Screw that, he's gonna keep fighting! The damn Destined just won't tap, he won't give Mario the satisfaction!" Church called.

"Yeah, well, what's he going to do?! He's got nowhere to go! Eventually, he's gonna realize his Resurrection is DONE! DEAD! NOW TAP!" Sarge urged.

Mario's eyes widened, and infuriated by this, he just PULLED on the Mario Finale even more, just determined to bring him down to "reality" as much as possible, but Matt was fighting. He gritted his teeth before he began pulling Mario over to a corner actually, and he suddenly began climbing it...

...

...

...

...

...and kicked off of it to PUSH MARIO ONTO HIS BACK AND LAND UPSIDE DOWN OVER HIM IN A PINNING PREDICAMENT, MARIO FINALE STILL LOCKED IN!

"WAIT WAIT! Matt just kicked off the turnbuckle and sends them both down and MATT HAS HIM IN A PIN! MATT HAS HIM IN A PIN WHILE THE FINALE IS LOCKED IN STILL AND JIMMY'S COUNTING!" Church called.

"OH NO, NOT SURVIVOR SERIES 1996! ANYTHING BUT THAT!" Sarge exclaimed.

MARIO LETS GO OF THE MARIO FINALE TO KICK OUT AT 2.999!

"AND MARIO LETS GO OF THE FINALE TO SURVIVE! He had NO CHOICE but to let go of the hold to keep himself in the match!" Church stated.

"Well FINE! Mario will just beat him via pinfall anyway!" Sarge proclaimed.

Mario and Matt quickly scramble up to their feet, and Mario charges RIGHT INTO A LEG LARIAT THAT DAMN NEAR TAKES HIS HEAD OFF!

"OR MAYBE MATT WILL! Because he damn near sliced the head off with a LEG LARIAT! Mario ran RIGHT into that one!" Church stated.

"...DAMMIT! Why does fate hate the Red team so?!" Sarge groaned.

Mario practically bounced off the mat off that, and Matt rolls onto his feet and runs as soon as Mario gets up AND RUNNING DROPKICK TO THE SKULL SENDS HIM DOWN! Mario was laid out as Matt quickly leaps at the ropes...

...

...

...

...

...AND NAILS A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ON HIM!

"SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT! Matt nails it perfectly, and Mario's down and out!" Church exclaimed.

Matt quickly hooks the leg as tightly as he could!

"Mario, kick out! Please kick out! You have to save the Reds!" Sarge exclaimed.

MARIO ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT AT 2.93!

"AND HE DOES KICK OUT! Mario still surviving, and Matt trying to keep his cool here! He's always calm and cool, but even this has to get to him. He's trying to keep it ice cool though." Church stated.

Matt just placed his head against the mat as he held his hair, thinking for sure he had that, but he took a deep breath, calming himself. Calm and cool will win, so he quickly grabbed Mario and pulled him up before grabbing his arm and Irish Whipping him...

...

...

...

...but Mario suddenly reversed and pulled Matt into a VICIOUS European Uppercut that damn near flipped Matt inside out! Mario grabbed Matt and pulled him up to his feet, and quickly Irish Whipped him into the corner and ran after him...

...

...

...but Matt grabbed the ropes to jump up and over the incoming Mario WHO CAUGHT HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS! Matt flailed about as Mario walked across the ring with him, trying to fight out of the Fireman's Carry, but Mario, getting annoyed, quickly adjusted his grasp on him to have him over-the-shoulder...

...

...

...AND NAILS AN AIR RAID CRASH ACROSS THE KNEE AS HARD AS HE COULD!

"AND THAT'S GOTTA HURT! Matt sensed the Nintendozer coming, so Mario adjusted into an Air Raid Crash over the knee! That's gonna mess up the neck!" Church stated.

"I hope it broke! I want the murder and violence before me!" Sarge proclaimed.

Matt writhed in pain as he was on the mat, gritting his teeth in pain...

...

...

...BUT THEN MARIO ROLLS ONTO MATT'S BODY, ROLLING THROUGH WITH HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS...

...

...

...

...AND NAILS THE NINTENDOZER ON HIM!

"OH DAMN! HOW THE HELL...?! DID MARIO JUST PRACTICALLY ROLL THROUGH TO HIS FEET WITH MATT ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE NINTENDOZER?! DAMN!" Church exclaimed.

"THE GREATEST CHAMPION EVER DOES IT AGAIN! BOW BEFORE HIS GREATNESS, DIRTBAGS!" Sarge said...as he bowed before Mario.

Mario quickly motions that it's game over with a relieved look on his face before laying on him for the cover!

"And now, Matt Ishida..." Sarge began.

MATT ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT AT 2.999!

"You Just Got-HUH?! HE KICKED OUT?! HOW?!" Sarge questioned.

"I DON'T KNOW, BUT HE DID! HE KICKED OUT, AND MARIO...OH MAN, HE'S JUST PISSED! HE CAN'T PUT MATT AWAY! NO MATTER WHAT HE DOES, HE JUST CAN'T! AND IT'S ABOUT TO BLOW FOR HIM!" Church exclaims.

Mario's eyes widened in pure shock at that, turning to Jimmy as if wondering what was going on, but Jimmy maintained that it was three. Mario's expression then turned it onto of pure lividness as he stood up and grabbed Matt to his knees, holding him up as he just shook his head before he beginning to beat his head in with vicious rights, one after the other! Mario was absolutely not stopping as the ref began to try and stop it, and after fifteen shost, Mario then plants him with a DDT to lay him out! Mario then stands to his feet, splays his arms out and says "GREATEST OF ALL TIME!" to loud boos before pointing to Matt and motioning it was over. He then STEPPED ON Matt and over him to began climbing the corner, until his back was turned on top...

"And Mario just STEPPING ON Matt on his way to the top...both metaphorically and literally...and he used to fly high, and he's gonna do that now..." Church called.

...

...

...

...Mario stood tall with a grin, shouting "MR. NINTENDO IN THE HOUSE!" before going for a Vader-like Moonsault on Matt...

...

...

...

...BUT MATT GETS THE KNEES UP! MARIO CRASHES ONTO THEM GUT-FIRST!

"THE KNEES! THE DAMN KNEES! HE GOT THE KNEES UP, AND THE GUT JUST MET THEM! THE HORROR!" Sarge cried out.

"MARIO WENT FOR THE MOONSAULT, BUT MATT HAD IT SCOUTED! HE SAW IT COMING AND MADE MARIO PAY FOR IT!" Church exclaimed.

The crowed popped as Mario's eyes widened in pain and he pushed himself up to his feet while holding his gut, ONLY TO GET MEET WITH A POWERFUL DROPKICK THAT SENDS HIM INTO THE CORNER! He hits the corner hard as he slumps against it, and Matt quickly pulls himself up, and with every ounce of energy rushes forward...

...

...

...

...AND NAILS A HELLUVA KICK ACROSS THE FACE! Mario was out as Matt then pulls him out of the corner, hooks him up...

"HELLUVA KICK! Right to the damn jaw as fast as he could! And Matt's got Mario...!" Church called.

...

...

...

...

...AND THEN PLANTS HIM WITH THE ROCKER SMASH!

"ROCKER SMASH! THE SPIKE BRAINBUSTER CONNECTS! MATT DROPS MARIO WITH THE ROCKER SMASH AND HE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT ANY BETTER! HE FINALLY GOT IT!" Church exclaimed.

"THAT'S ONE SMASH I DIDN'T WANT MARIO TO BE PART OF! BECAUSE IT'S THE ONE NO ONE WANTS TO BE PART OF! THAT'S THE WORST KIND! EVERYONE HATES IT! SOMEONE DO SOMETHING!" Sarge shouted.

Mario was laid out as the crowd stood on its feet and counted as Matt covers him with both legs hooked!

"And Matt floats over into the cover! Legs hooked! Mario's down and out! Is this...?!" Church questioned.

"No, not, please! PLEASE...!" Sarge begged.

MARIO ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT AT 2.99999!

"WHAT?! HE KICKED OUT?! MARIO KICKED OUT?! SON OF A BITCH, HE KICKED OUT OF THE ROCKER SMASH! THE DAMN CHAMPION KICKED OUT!" Church exclaimed.

"HALLELUJAH! EVERYTHING IS SAVED FROM THE WORST FATE! THANK YOU, MARIO, FOR FINDING THE STRENGTH TO SAVE US FROM A BLUE FATE!" Sarge cried out.

"SOMEHOW, SOMEWAY, MARIO SURVIVED THE ROCKER SMASH! AND THE FRUSTRATION'S GOTTA BE MOUNTING! WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO GET THE TITLE AWAY FROM THIS GUY?!" Church questioned.

The crowd exclaimed "NOOOOO!" as Matt laid on the mat, eyes wide in disbelief. That was his best shot, and it failed, Mario just would not stay down, and it was starting to get him along with all the disrespect he had to endure. He just groaned before standing up to his feet, just throwing his arm down in frustration, then he grabbed Mario and slowly pulled him to his feet BUT THEN MARIO SLAPS HIM ACROSS THE FACE!

"Oh come on, REALLY? Even after EVERYTHING you've done to him?" Church questioned.

"Yes, because Matt deserves it. Obviously." Sarge nodded.

Matt held his face in stinging pain as Mario was still a bit dazed, barely managing to stand, but he glared at Matt and said "You...aren't-a on my level... You never...were... That's-a why...Platinum was so easy to-a use. Maybe I'll do it agai-"

AND MATT JUST TACKLES DOWN MARIO AND BEGINS LAYING IN THE SHOTS WITH FURIOUS ANGER!

"AND THAT WAS THE LAST STRAW! THE DISRESPECT, THE ARROGANCE, THE COMMENTS, THE FRUSTRATION, IT JUST BUILT UP! AND THE COMMENT ABOUT PLATINUM FINALLY MADE HIM LOSE HIS COOL! HE'S GOING TO TOWN ON MARIO!" Church shouted.

"GET HIM OFF HIM, REF! GET HIM OFF HIM! HE'S A WILD ANIMAL! OUR CHAMPION IS BEING MAULED, HELP HIM! IT'S A WILD BLUE!" Sarge shouted.

Mario tried to cover up as Matt continued to rain down fists, having enough of Mario throughout this match, and the comment about Platinum finally made him lose his cool as he beat down on Mario! Mario manage to kick Matt off of him and tried to crawl away towards a corner, but Matt just pounced on him and the fists kept on coming, his face full of anger! Eventually, Jimmy had to pull him away in order to stop him as he was pushing it as Mario continued to crawl away, but Matt just moved past him and went over to grab Mario! But Matt pushed past Jimmy and grabbed onto Mario, who held onto the ropes to keep from getting pulled, and Jimmy again had to intervene! He managed to pull Matt away from Mario and kept him away as he tried to reach the Champ ONLY TO GET A BELT SHOT TO THE SKULL FROM MARIO!

"And Jimmy trying to keep Matt off Mario-OH WHAT THE HELL?! ARE YOU F*CKIN' KIDDING ME?! MATT JUST CLOBBERED WITH THE DAMN BELT HE PULLED FROM THE UNDER THE CORNER! DIDN'T HE SAY HE WASN'T GOING TO CHEAT WITH THIS MATCH?! WHAT A BUNCH OF SHIT!" Church exclaimed in anger.

"HE SAID THE KINGDOM WASN'T A FACTOR, THEY AREN'T! NEVER SAID HE WOULDN'T DO ANYTHING! AND IF THE REF DOESN'T SEE IT, IT'S NOT CHEATING!" Sarge reasoned.

"DAMMIT, HE KNEW HE COULDN'T BEAT MATT STRAIGHT UP! HE KNEW MATT GOT TOO TOUGH FOR HIM, HE SURVIVED TOO MUCH AND DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE ANY MORE CHANCES! HE GOADED MATT INTO LOSING HIS COOL SO HE COULD DO THAT! SON OF A BITCH!" Church cursed.

The crowd stood up in absolute ANGER as Matt went still off the belt to the skull before falling limp down onto the mat! Mario quickly throws the title back into the corner before Jimmy could see anything, and quickly crawls over to the cover, hooking his leg with the most arrogant smirk ever, as chants of "BULLSHIT!" reigned.

"DAMMIT, HE'S GONNA STEAL IT AGAIN! HE'S GONNA SLINK AWAY WITH THE TITLE AGAIN! JUST LIKE THIS WHOLE DAMN REIGN! THE SAME OLD SHIT! F*CK!" Church exclaimed.

"Get used to it, dirtbag, because Matt Ishida..." Sarge began.

MATT ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT AT 2.99999 AND THE BUILDING EXPLODES!

"You Just Got-HUH?! BUT...WHAT?! HOW?! HE KICKED OUT?! IMPOSSIBLE!" Sarge said in disbelief.

"SHIT, HE DID KICK OUT! MATT KICKED OUT! HE FOUND A WAY! HE'S NOT GOING TO LET HIS RESURRECTION END THAT WAY! HE'S NOT GOING TO LET IT DIE BECAUSE OF CRAP LIKE THAT! HE'S STILL FIGHTING! AND DAMMIT, HE'S NOT GONNA LET MARIO WIN!" Church exclaimed.

Mario was in pure disbelief at that, and exclaimed to Jimmy that that was three, but the ref maintained that it was only two. Mario was practically about to explode in rage as the crowd chanted "YES! YES! YES!" over and over, and Mario just shouted at them all to shut up, which of course had them chanting louder and louder. He stood there, seething as he took in all the chants of "YES!" and "RE-SUR-REC-TION" and turned to Matt, who was STILL trying to get up despite everything...and he just snapped! He dropped down and began pounding Mat's head in, just laying it on him as hard as he could in anger! After sixteen fists, he then stood up and began to stomp Matt out, exclaiming that he didn't deserve to be here, he wasn't on his level, and he would never be great! After twelve stomps, he picked up Mario and placed him on the top of the corner, climbing up it himself as well.

"Well Mario has just SNAPPED. The frustration with the inability to put Mario away has now gotten to him, and he's looking to try and change that with something big!" Church stated.

"He may have survived before, but he won't survive now after what Mario does to him! Finish him off, Mario!" Sarge urged.

Once up top, he has grabbed hold of Matt, and smirked evilly for a brief second before grabbing him Suplex-style, and then lifts him up...

...

...

...but Matt twists out of it to land behind on top of the corner, grabs him from behind...

"Matt just twisted out of it, and he's got Mario from behind up top! Not good for Mario!" Church stated.

...

...

...

...AND INVERTED SUPERPLEX CONNECTS FULL-FLUSH!

"IT DEFINITELY WASN'T! INVERTED SUPERPLEX OF ALL THINGS OFF THE TOP! MARIO PLANTED FACE-FIRST!" Church exclaimed.

"HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?! SOMEONE GET SOMEONE ON THE JOB, WE HAVE TO FIGURE THAT REVERSAL!" Sarge proclaimed.

Mario practically bounced onto his knees before falling down as the crowd cheered loudly, chanting "MATT! MATT! MATT!" as the Destined got up off of that. He staggered to his feet as Mario was trying to get up, and quickly grabbed him before hooking him up...

...

...

...

...

...BEFORE DROPPING HIM WITH A BLOODY SUNDAY DDT!

"AND BLOODY SUNDAY! MATT DROPS MARIO, AND IT MAY DEFINITELY BE A BLOODY SUNDAY TONIGHT!" Church called.

"IT WILL BE FOR MARIO IF HE'S DONE FOR AFTER THIS...WHICH YES, KICK OUT, MARIO!" Sarge begged.

Matt quickly covers him with a hook of the leg!

"Hook of the leg! Mario's pinned down!" Church called.

MARIO ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT AT 2.9999!

"TOO CLOSE! JUST before the three! I nearly had a heart attack!" Sarge stated.

"Matt nearly had him, but he's gotta stay on him! If he wants to win, he's gonna have to keep doing stuff like that!" Church proclaimed.

Matt groaned in frustration before he stood up and waited for Mario to get up, and once he did, he ran the ropes RIGHT INTO A FLAPJACK! WHICH MATT TURNED INTO A DROPKICK MID-LIFT! Mario was sent down to the ground as Matt quickly grabbed him for an Irish Whip, but Mario reversed with one of his own into the corner! But Matt leaped at it and Springboard Crossbody!

...

...

...which Mario rolled through with Matt in his hands in a Fallaway Slam position! He then lifted Matt onto his shoulders...

...

...

...BUT MATT SLIPPED OUT AND NAILED A JUMPING REVERSE BULLDOG ON HIM!

"And Mario SLAMMED down to the mat on the back of his head! Everything has SWUNG Matt's way! He's got Mario on the ropes, and he may be looking to end it!" Church called.

"Well Mario's looking to survive, because that's what he does! He'll survive...won't he? ...FIND A WAY, MARIO! QUICK!" Sarge urged.

Matt wasted no time, knowing he had to take this chance to put Mario away as he quickly picked up Mario, and placed him in Suplex position! But before he could lift him, he PUSHED Matt away and stumbled back, and Matt just rushed at him...

...

...

...

...but Mario sidestepped him and Matt NEARLY crashed into Jimmy Aaron! Jimmy held his head down as Matt stopped himself in time from hitting him with look of relief ONLY TO GET A LOW BLOW KICK FROM BEHIND! Mario held his nads before getting turned around and hooked up...

"Oh COME ON! REALLY?! A DAMN LOW BLOW! Mario's just DESPERATE at this point, and Jimmy had his head down from the near collision so he couldn't see!" Church called.

"Well, you're going to have to live with it..." Sarge began.

...

...

...

...AND PLANTED WITH THE PEDIGREE OF ALL THINGS BY MARIO!

"JUST LIKE MATT HAS TO LIVE WITH BEING PEDIGREED!" Sarge shouted.

"OH THAT'S JUST INSULT TO INJURY! USING THE MOVE OF A GUY THAT'S MADE THE LIFE OF MATT AND HIS BROTHER HELL IN WWE! THAT'S REALLY NOT TRYING TO GET AT MATT AT ALL! AND THE PEDIGREE LANDED FULL-FLUSH!" Church called.

Mario quickly turns him over for the cover, exclaiming "That's how you play the GAME!" and counting with his hand as the ref counted as well!

"And now, Matt Ishida..." Sarge began.

MATT ROLLS THE SHOULDER OUT AT 2.999999!

"You Just Got-EH?! AGAIN?! AGAIN, HE KICKED OUT?! HOW DOES HE KEEP DOING IT?!" Sarge questioned.

"MAYBE BECAUSE HE JUST WANTS TO WIN THAT BADLY! HE IS SURVIVING EVERYTHING MARIO HAS THROWN AT HIM! MARIO'S PULLING OUT HIS BAG OF CHEATING TRICKS, BUT MATT'S SURVIVING THEM! AND MARIO'S JUST ABOUT TO RUN OUT OF THEM AND YOU CAN SEE IT IN HIS FACE!" Church called.

Mario was absolutely enraged at this point, shooting up to his feet and practically crying out in pure rage at this point. He shouted at the ref that he should count faster, but Jimmy did not back down from this stance. Mario glared down and gave Matt the evil eye, having enough of Matt trying to be on his level, and quickly places him between his legs. He then gave the quick cutthroat gesture and tried to LIFT HIM UP FOR A PILEDRIVER...

"Well, he's not gonna need another, because it's PILEDRIVER TIME! Time to drive a skull through the mat!" Sarge proclaimed.

...

...

...

...but Matt stayed rooted to the ground, AND PULLED THE LEGS OUT FROM UNDER MARIO TO TRY FOR THE DIGIVITALIZER!

"NO! Matt pulled the rug from under him AND DIGIVITALIZER! MATT GOING FOR THE DIGIVITALIZER WITH EVERYTHING HE'S GOT!" Church stated.

"KICK HIM OFF! THROW HIM OFF! PUNCH HIM OFF! ANYTHING OFF! JUST GET OUT OF IT, MARIO!" Sarge urged.

Matt tried to turn Mario once more over for the move, but Mario was fighting like hell, and managed to reach up and nail Matt in the head a few times with his fists! Matt tried to hold on, but the fists were dazing him AND THAT ALLOWED MARIO TO REACH UP AND ROLL HIM INTO A SMALL PACKAGE...WHILE WRAPPING HIS LEGS AROUND THE BOTTOM ROPE!

"And now Small Package-SERIOUSLY?! F*CK! THIS IS RIDICULOUS AT THIS POINT, MARIO'S GOT THE FEET ON THE ROPE FOR LEVERAGE!" Church exclaimed in anger.

"AGAIN, IF THE REF-" Sarge began.

"I KNOW WHAT YOU'LL SAY, IT'S CLICHE, OLD, AND STUPID! SHUT UP! MARIO TRYING TO SNEAK HIS WAY OUT WITH THE TITLE!" Church called.

JIMMY STOPS THE COUNT BECAUSE HE SEES MARIO HAVING HIS FEET AROUND THE ROPE!

"HEY! Jimmy, what are you doing?! Count!" Sarge demanded.

"He's not counting because he caught Marion in the act! He caught Mario with his feet on the ropes! Not this time, Mario! This little trick ain't gonna work either! Mario getting desperate, and the tricks he's used to sustain his reign are failing him one by one!" Church called.

Mario let go of the Small Package at that point, wondering what the hold up was, but Jimmy told him he had his feet on the ropes and that was illegal. Mario of course was in anger, and he began arguing with the ref about daring to defy the Greatest Champion Ever, who was not backing down about the rules. Mario actually GRABBED Jimmy by the shirt in pure frustration BUT GOT GRABBED FROM BEHIND AND DROPPED WITH A DRAGON SUPLEX!

"DRAGON SUPLEX! MARIO WASTED TOO MUCH TIME ON JIMMY AND PAID THE PRICE! MATT'S GOT THE END IN SIGHT!" Church called.

"NOT GOOD! NOT GOOD! SIMMONS, DO SOMETHING!" Sarge exclaimed.

"WHAT CAN HE DO?!" Sarge questioned.

"MAYBE FIND MY SHOTGUN AND BEAT MATT TO DEATH WITH IT! ANYTHING BETTER THAN THIS!" Sarge shouted.

Mario rolled across the mat, holding his head as he stumbles up against the corner, and Matt stands up, face paint practically smeared away but the look of a wolf nonetheless on him, runs full steam, and NAILS A RUNNING CORNER DROPKICK! Mario is stunned in the corner, and Matt quickly lifts him to the top, and climbs up there to meet Mario on top, and grabs him in Suplex position as part of the crowd stands to his feet...

"I think the crowd can sense it...Matt may be wanting something SUPER to end things!" Church called.

"I CAN'T WATCH!" Sarge cried out.

...

...

...but Mario RAKES THE EYES! Jimmy admonishes Mario as Matt holds his eyes, but Mario doesn't care as HE LIFTS MATT AND RELEASE DROP SUPLEXES OFF THE TOP ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE MAT BACK-FIRST HARD!

"DAMMIT! Mario pulled one last trick out of his damn bag, and raked the eyes of Matt before dropping him like a sack of hammers to the ground! SHIT! Mario sneaks his damn way out of getting dropped AGAIN!" Church groaned.

"That's the power of the Greatest Champion Ever! He is Mr. Nintendo, the Champion of Life, the G.O.A.T., and he is beyond anything you think of him! And Matt just found that out the hard way!" Sarge proclaimed.

"And now Mario's up on top by himself...Matt's on the ground...and that's the worst possible spot." Church called.

Matt was laid out in front of the corner on his back, and Mario slowly regains himself before looking down...and LAUGHING at him. Mario laughs and yucks it up, and shouts "I told you, Matty Baby! This is where you belong! Belong me! It's over!" Mario continued to laugh for a few more moments before with a smirk, he slowly stands up on top of the corner, sizing up Matt, before splaying out his arms, and shouting...

"GREATEST...CHAMPION...EEEEEEEEVVEEEERRRRR!"

"Mario...just gloating and boosting his ego before the end...as if anything else was possible." Church deadpanned.

"No one does it better than him." Sarge stated proudly.

...

...

...before DIVING OFF...

"And Mario going for it...!" Church called.

...

...

...

...

...AND MATT ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY! MARIO HITS NOTHING BUT THE MAT WITH THE SUPER MARIO SPLASH!

"MATT ROLLED OUT OF THE WAY! MARIO GOT NOTHING! HE TOOK TOO DAMN LONG GLOATING AND POSING FOR HIS OWN EGO, AND IT JUST COST HIM BIG TIME! HE JUST ATE MAT!" Church called.

"NO, REWIND TIME QUICK! WE NEED TO HAVE A DO-OVER SO MATT CAN GET HIT ONCE AND FOR ALL!" Sarge exclaimed.

Mario stumbles up to his feet off that, holding his stomach in pain as he staggers forward AND GETS HIS LEGS PULLED OUT FROM UNDER HIM BY MATT...

...WHO THEN TURNS HIM OVER...

...

...

...

...

...AND FINALLY LOCKS IN THE DIGIVITALIZER TO A MASSIVE POP!

"DIGIVITALIZER! MATT'S GOT THE DIGIVITALIZER FINALLY LOCKED IN! MARIO'S ARROGANCE FINALLY BIT HIM IN THE ASS! HE HAD BEEN UNDERESTIMATING AND DISRESPECTING MATT ALL NIGHT LONG, AND IT GAVE HIM THIS ONE OPPORTUNITY!" Church called.

"NO, FIGHT OUT OF IT, MARIO! FIGHT OUT OF IT! ONLY YOU CAN! DO IT FOR THE RED TEAM!" Sarge exclaimed.

Mario flails around once the hold is locked in, practically consumed with pain off of this move as Matt wrenches on the leg as much as he can! Jimmy asks if Mario wants to tap, but Mario just tells him to shut up, giving his answer in that form, and Matt just pulls on the hold more! Mario cries out in massive pain, but he wasn't going to let his reign end like this, so he sees the ropes and practically CRAWLS towards them, dragging Matt with him...

...

...

...he reaches towards the ropes, and gets a hand out towards them...

"Mario reaching towards the ropes, trying to get to his one possible hope to survive!" Church called.

...

...

...

...he manages to get a finger on the bottom rope...

"Come on, Mario...grab it...! You almost have it...!" Sarge stated.

...

...

...

...MATT PULLS HIM BACK TO THE CENTER OF THE RING, AND JUST REINFORCES HIS HOLD ON THE DIGIVITALIZER!

"AND MATT PULLS HIM BACK TO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING AND JUST MAKES THE HOLD WORSE! HE'S NOT LETTING MARIO GET AWAY! NOT AFTER EVERYTHING! HE WANTS THAT TAP OUT HERE AND NOW!" Church called.

"OH NO! NOT GOOD! NOT GOOD AT ALL! FIGHT THROUGH THE PAIN, MARIO! FIGHT THROUGH IT! YOU'RE OUR ONLY HOPE NOW!" Sarge exclaimed.

Mario's body was screaming in pain as he was screaming at this point, and his hand shook for a bit! Then he remember what was at stake, and actually BIT his own finger in order to keep himself from tapping. Matt's response was just to pull on the legs more, and cause Mario even more pain as a result. Mario just shook his head as the crowd chanted "TAP! TAP! TAP!" not wanting this to end this way, before placing his hands on the mat...

"Mario trying to fight through the pain, but what can he do at this point?!" Church questioned.

...

...

...

...and actually PUSHED his body off the mat, holding it above it with his arms as the hold was locked in! And with gritted teeth, he began twisting his body slowly but surely...

"Wait a second...NO WAY..." Church muttered.

"He is...! Come on, keep on at it! You almost got it!" Sarge stated.

"Is he trying to...?! Damn, all to try and keep his title reign alive!" Church stated.

...

...

...and actually managed to TURN HIMSELF OVER AND MATT AROUND, OUT OF THE DIGIVITALIZER...AND SUDDENLY SPINS HIM OFF HIS LEGS...

"SHIT, HE SPUN HIM OFF! HE SPUN MATT OFF HIS LEG AND OUT OF THE DIGIVITALIZER!" Church called.

"YES! FREEDOM! NOW CHARGE FOR VICTORY!" Sarge motivated.

...

...

...

...BUT MATT HOLDS ONTO THE LEGS INSTEAD, STANDS BACK UP, AND RE-APPLIES THE HOLD WITH HIS KNEES PRESSED INTO MARIO'S HEAD! DIGIVITALIZER LION-TAMER STYLE!

"WAIT NO! MATT HELD ON! MATT HELD ON LIKE A DAMN SNAKE WITH A VICE GRIP AND JUST ADJUSTED THE DIGIVITALIZER INTO A DAMN LION-TAMER! AND THAT JUST MADE THINGS TEN-TIME WORSE FOR MARIO!" Church stated.

"NO NO NO, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! IT CAN'T BE! FIND A WAY, MARIO! YOU ALWAYS DO! EVEN THOUGH THERE'S ALMOST NO WAY OUT OF THIS! PLEASE HOLD ON!" Sarge begged.

"MARIO HAS NOWHERE TO GO! HE IS TRAPPED! HE CAN DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHILE HE IS TORTURED, AND MATT WILL NOT LET GO! HE WILL NOT LET GO UNTIL THE DAMN BASTARD TAPS! BUT WILL HE TAP?!" Church questioned.

The pain was now increased triple-fold as Mario was now flailing his arms about in pure and utter agony, absolutely TRAPPED in his position! The crowd was going crazy as Matt applied the hold as hard as he can, practically BEGGING for the tapout here, he had to get it! Mario was trying to get the knee of him, crawl away, reach towards the ref, ANYTHING. But he could do NOTHING, he had NOWHERE TO GO! It got so bad, that his hand was actually starting to rise...

...

...

...

...it shook with intensity several times...

"The hand is up...it's shaking...! The pain...it's just getting worse by the minute!" Church called.

...

...

...it nearly DROPPED to the mat as the crowd hitched its breath, SHAKING...

"Please hold on, Mario! Don't tap! Don't tap for HIM of all people! Keep the reign alive!" Sarge begged.

...

...

...

...and Matt just pressed his knee even FURTHER into Mario's skull as he pulled on the hold, causing Mario even MORE PAIN...

...

...

...

...

...AND MARIO FINALLY TAPS OUT! MARIO TAPS OUT AS THE 100,000 JUST EXPLODES IN PURE JOY!

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Sarge cried out in despair.

"MARIO TAPPED OUT! HE TAPPED OUT! IT'S OVER! IT'S OVER! WE'VE GOT A NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!" Church exclaimed.

I (One more shot) have been resurrected

One more shot

And then I'm over and out

I'm gonna show the non believers what I'm talking about

Ooh, I (One more shot) have been resurrected

One more shot

And then I'm under and gone

I'm gonna show the non believers they are nothing but wrong

Until the day I die

("Resurrected" by Peroxywhy?gen)

"Here is your winner...and NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWWW...UCA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION... YAMATO..." MATT"... ISHIDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Cait Sith announced with great joy.

It was thunderous in AT&T Stadium as the crowd cheered its heart out in joy, and Matt finally let go of Mario off that, full of exhaustion from the match he went through. But several moment later, he managed to push himself up to on his four, panting as it started to dawn on him: he had done it. He had ended the reign of terror. He pushed himself up to his knees, his face full of disbelief and awe, and the moment he saw Jimmy hold out the World Title in front of him, the expression then changed into one of pure joy. Tears of joy slightly came down his cheeks as he slowly took the title from Jimmy, and looked down at it with an almost reverence to it, before he held the title against his head, as if just savoring it and taking it all in. After cradling the title to his head for a few moments, he then stood up and raised his head to the sky as he held the World Title HIGH above his head to massive cheers as Jimmy raised his other arm in victory, the crowd chanting "YOU DESERVE IT!" to him.

"Matt did! He DID IT! After everything he went through with the Destined and Digivolution before and during Clash of the Titans, from the problems with Tai and Sora, to returning to survive over an hour in the Rumble, to deal with everything Mario has done to him, to be called unable to do anything on the big stage...he has done it! He has ENDED Mario's 430-Day reign in EMPHATIC fashion!" Church called.

"This can't be happening! It CAN'T be! We can't have Matt as a World Champion, we CAN'T! This is IMPOSSIBLE! Mario can't lose, he just CAN'T! Please tell me this is a dream, and our mortal enemy, GRAVITY, is trying to keep us down with it! This would be a disaster otherwise!" Sarge begged.

"It is NOT a dream, Sarge! It is REALITY! And it's not the reality Mario kept chirping about, but the one Matt fought for! Every dirty trick Mario had used to keep his reign going all this time just couldn't get it done tonight! Matt survived it all, for one purpose...to win the title he set out on getting the moment he got here! And dammit, he DID! We got a NEW WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION, for the FIRST TIME IN A YEAR!" Church called.

Matt pulled away from Jimmy and began pumping his arm through the air repeatedly as it held the World Title, skipping around the ring as he pumped the title before pulling his free arm with a victory cry from his mouth. He then climbed the corner and raised the title high above him before looking up into the crowd, and pointing to the Destined and his girlfriend, Platinum. He nodded to them, saying "Yeah...this one is not just for me..." patting the World Title, and following it up with "This one's for all of you...it's for ALL of you. The Resurrection is COMPLETE!" He then got off the corner, slid out of the ring and actually LEAPED into the fans at ringside, who then held him up and BODY SURFED him across the sea of fans, as he had his World Title high, celebrating like a true rocker as the crowd went nuts around him, chanting "MATT! MATT! MATT!" over and over.

"And Matt LEAPING into the damn crowd actually, sharing his victory with them! And you saw him point to the Destined, to his girlfriend, he knows this means as much to them as it does to him. And dammit, he's gonna share this victory with them all. He's gonna join Tai and Sora as the top Champions of their companies, and even his brother and Davis as Champions as well! The Resurrection of not only Matt, but the Digidestined is FINALLY complete!" Church called.

"I think I'm gonna be sick..." Sarge groaned.

Eventually, he managed to slip himself out of the crowd and back over the barricade before walking around the ring, slapping hands with fans with an elated expression on his face. He even reached the Destined and his girlfriend near the front row (ignoring the comatose TW), and slapping hands with them all, holding onto the hand of TK in a brotherly gesture (though he thought he saw two of them for a second), then grabbing the face of Platinum and kissing her strongly, and then turning to Tai and Sora...and hugging them both in warm moment that all the fans clapped and cheered for as they shared in what what was just accomplished. After a few moments, Matt pulled away and made his way up the ramp. Halfway, he stopped and turned back towards the ring and crowd...

...and with a grin, he began playing air guitar with the World Title as FIREWORKS of red, blue, white, and green exploded behind him in a massive show before he raised the title with both hands above his head, taking in the moment as the fireworks exploded behind to celebrate his victory.

"And let the celebration begin! He's EARNED it! Everybody, it's finally over! After 430 days, Mario's reign of terror is FINALLY over. One man ended it, and he's the new World Heavyweight Champion! And his name...is Yamato 'Matt' Ishida!" Church called.

The last shot we see is of Matt holding up his new World Heavyweight Title above his head as fireworks continue to go off behind him to celebrate the new World Champion, he threw the title over his shoulder and walked up the ramp, holding up a finger to say that he was number one as he did so, the crowd chanting "RE-SUR-REC-TION" as he did so...

The camera then goes to the backstage, and what else but Force's office as the fox himself was standing, watching it on a nearby TV with a big ol' grin on his face...

"Yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Now THAT is a Final Clash moment." Force grinned. "I'd dare say Final Clash has lived up to all the hype and more. Heh, I'm damn proud of this event. And normally, this would be the note to end things on...but..." Force's grin disappeared with a sigh. "There's one more match. One that has to happen no matter what. ...Gonna be a hell of a mood whiplash."

Force then heard a knock on the door, and asked "Who is it?"

And the door opens, and it's...who else but Grif? "...Hey." Grif said lazily.

"Grif? Hey there." Force stated in surprise. "What are you doing here?"

"Well I'm here for an interview...well, I really just want to chill and just get away from all this, but I'm being FORCED to do this. I swear, does it EVER end? I mean, how many interviews do you need in one GODDAMN NIGHT?! I mean, don't you all talk to people yourselves?!" Grif questioned.

"Grif...focus." Force deadpanned. "Why are you here for an interview?"

"Well...we know what match is up next...aaaannnddd, no way in hell the two involved are coming out, soooo...the guys thought I'd interview you. Since you made the match and all, I guess..." Grif shrugged disinterestedly.

"...I see." Force nodded. "Alright...I'll be the final interview for the night. Seems only fitting..."

"ALRIGHT! So since cameras are always everywhere, don't need to worry about that. How are they always everywhere?" Grif questioned. "Anyways, let's get this over with...Force, you made this match. And...a lot of people, especially world of Pokemon. ESPECIALLY the people of the Kanto region. And ESPECIALLY Pallet Town. NO ONE is liking this match at all. And yet...you stand by it. Why?"

"...Because it has to be done." Force stated solemnly. "I know a lot of people are not going to like what comes of this. Hell, I've had Bugs and Daffy calling me, telling me how much they don't want them fighting in this thing...but this has gone on too long. Too much has happened. I've tried every other way of ending this, and they just keep going. It just gets worse...and worse. At first, it was a rivalry that elevated UCA...but now it's just too destructive for its own good. I made this match...because it was the only way to end this for good. What happens now...is for the good of the future. Red and Blue...they're going to end this now. And if it has to be this way...I'm sorry, but so be it."

"Yeeaahh, even I know that this is going to very bad, very quick. And it's not gonna get easy to watch...what do you think is going to happen?" Grif asked.

"...All I know, from how much I know those two...is there will be lot of bloodshed...a lot of hate...a lot of destruction...and it will be...the end of an era. For Pokemon, for UCA, for Fiction Wrestling...and for them. And once that era ends...things will change. Things will change...and we may not be prepared for them. All I know...is Red and Blue...are about to go to hell. And I'll be honest...I'm not sure they're coming back." Force spoke bluntly.

"...Thanks for your time, Force. I'll see ya around, I guess... This is gonna be a slaughter." Grif muttered as he walked out of the office.

Force was left all alone at this point, hands in his pockets and after a few moments, just said...

"...May God have mercy on their souls. ...Because they sure as hell won't have mercy on each other."

He then looked at the screen...which now showed an image of the Hell in a Cell hanging above the ring, waiting its incoming victims as the camera went to ringside...
