Kave- This
certainly is going to be a stunning match, Smash vs Warlord!!
Bret- Yeah, think of the size of Smash, then double it then he'll nearly be
Warlord's size.
Kave- I don't think you can judge Smash on his size, as usual, you've seen the
guy in the ring!
Bret- Yeah but add to that- he's an Outsider...
Kave- And a damn fine one! One half of the Tag Champions!
Brat- Shhh, the lights are going out.
The lights dim, plunging the arena into darkness. A drumroll begins to
play, building up to fantastic climax as a huge fireball erupts from the stage-
lightening the entire arena. The arena returns to darkness as "The Imperial
March" plays and a dim orange spotlight illuminates the stage. The crowd
reaction rumbles the entire arena as Warlord steps out to the stage. As he
stands there dominantly two more explosions roar up from the sides of the stage.
Kave- This is quite an entrance.
Bret- Yeah all but that explosion in the ring!
The pyros flare up as Warlord makes his journey to the ring.
Kave- And now it's time for Smash!
Bret- There goes that howl again, don't you people ever get bored of hearing the
same things?
Kave- What like your voice?
Smash comes out to the stage and the thousands of fans blow the roof off. The
fan favorite takes his time on the way to the ring, slapping as many of the fans
outstretched arms as he can.
Warlord stands in the ring unimpressed. Smash eventually flips into the ring.
The fight begins and Warlord charges at Smash with a running Lariat, taking
Smash back over the ropes. Smash lands on his back on the mats and rolls over in
pain. Warlord steps onto the apron and jumps off at Smash, just missing as he
rolls away.
Bret- Ooh that would have literally crushed Smash!
Smash gets back to his feet and successfully ducks a clothesline from
Warlord. Catching him off balance Smash nails Warlord into the ring steps with a
dropkick. The steps tumble into the barriers as Warlord gets to his knees. Smash
hits another dropkick into the back of Warlord's head but it doesn't have any
effect and Warlord just rises to his feet.
Warlord rams his fist straight into Smash's face then topples him with a big
boot. Smash hits the ground again and his head bounces on the mats as Warlord
slides into the ring on the six count. The ref counts seven as Smash gets to his
feet and stumbles into the barriers.
Warlord holds his hands high into the air taunting the crowd as the ref counts
eight and Smash steadies himself on the ringpost. The ref counts nine and Smash
pulls himself up onto the apron and straight to the top turnbuckle. Warlord
turns to see Smash perched on the turnbuckle. They lock eyes and Smash launches
a missile dropkick on Warlord.
Warlord rocks back and grabs the ropes to stop himself falling but Smash darts
up the next turnbuckle and launches off again with a missile dropkick.
Kave- Well so far Smash seems to be concentrating on the one single move, he's
hit him with four dropkicks in a row.
Warlord is leaning into the opposite ropes from Smash's dropkick as Smash
charges at him, hoping to connect with a crossbody. Warlord catches Smash and
slams him down on his stomach then leans off the ropes and leans forward,
letting himself fall onto Smash.
Bret- Look I told you, Smash doesn't have a chance, I'll be surprised if he can
get Warlord off of himself.
Kave- One... Two... look he got a shoulder up! He got a shoulder up!
Bret- And Warlord's furious, he's really giving it to the ref.
The ref is backed into the corner as Warlord begins screaming in his face. Smash
takes this opportunity and creeps up behind Warlord. He boots him in the back of
the knee and immediately follows up with a schoolboy rollup pin.
Kave- Great skill from Smash, a kick to the back of the knee to throw him off
balance then bring him down into the pin.
Warlord's head snaps back on the canvas as Smash does his best to keep Warlord's
leg hoisted in the air. The ref goes down for the count. Just as he hits the mat
for the one count Warlord gets a leg up. Smash stands up disappointed but
Warlord wastes no time with recovery and rams both his feet into Smash's chin.
Bret- Wow! Warlord's trying to take off Smash's head!
Kave- That should have! What a hit!
Smash is knocked through the air and almost over the ropes. He hits the ropes
and stops himself from rolling over. Warlord is immediately back to his feet and
knocks Smash over the ropes with a huge clothesline.
As Smash flips over he manages to keep hold of the top rope and avoids hitting
the mats. He swings his legs under the bottom rope and wraps then around
Warlord. Warlord looks down to see Smash's feet wrapped around his own but Smash
summons enough energy to pull Warlord off his feet.
Smash drops down from the ropes with Warlord's legs dangling off the apron.
Kave- That was a nice move...
Bret- For an Outsider.
Warlord sits up but Smash grabs his legs and wraps them around the ropes.
Warlord's legs are now on top of the bottom rope, his knees bent completely back
under it and his feet are being yanked back by Smash.
Kave- Ouch, his legs are almost twisted completely in the wrong direction!
Smash keeps Warlord's legs wrapped up and bent as long as he can. He stops
finally when the ref reaches the nine count. He gets back into the ring and
pulls Warlord back into the ring fully. He aims up over his legs for a leg drop.
Warlord manages to move his tired legs just in time then sit up and grab Smash.
Bret- They must be tired, they're both sitting down.
Warlord gives Smash a few right hands, holding him up with his left then with
Smash dazed he stands up and brings Smash up with him. He throws Smash over his
shoulder and begins running. He drops Smash in front of him, catches him and
jumps hitting a running piledriver.
Smash lays lifeless on the canvas as Warlord stands again. He strolls over to
Smash and lifts him up horizontally. He pulls him up over his head and stands
with Smash high above his head. Warlord looks up to Smash and he can be seen
saying something then laughing before throwing Smash forward.
Bret- What did he say to him?
Kave- Just trash talking I think.
Warlord looks down at Smash and laughs. He picks him up again and again holds
him above his head. Smash successfully maneuvers his way out of Warlord's grasp
and lands on his shoulders.
Kave- Nice, he avoided another drop to the canvas.
Bret- But look at him he's exhausted.
Smash attempts to rock Warlord with a few punches to the head but Warlord leans
forward and rams Smash into the turnbuckle. Smash falls out of the turnbuckle
and again lays lifeless on the canvas. Warlord walks to the opposite corner and
taunts the fans while Smash pulls himself up in the corner. Smash sits in the
corner for a moment then reaches his arms up to the top turnbuckle to pull
himself up.
Warlord charges at him and goes for a bronco buster but Smash dodges it superbly
by leaping onto the top rope and back flipping over Warlord as he soared into
the turnbuckle with his legs open.
Bret- You think Smash was hurt?! You don't know pain until you're feeling what
Warlord's feeling!
Kave- An excellent evasion for Smash though, and this is giving him a great
opportunity to recover.
Bret- Yep he's not taking advantage of Warlord's weakened state he's just
resting in the corner.
Warlord gets onto one knee, leaning into the corner and Smash steps down from
where he was sitting on the top rope. Both men now look fully recharged and
ready to start again. Smash runs at Warlord and slides through his legs as he
swings out to grab him.
