TNT vs Owen Richards

[TPK]

The scene opens up after the Television Title match between Delta and Reeves, the lights then begin to flash rapidly to the tune of Dr. Feel Good by Motley Crue. The fans cheer loudly as Owen Richards explodes from behind the entrance curtain, decked out in a red two strapped singlet with a white maple leaf in the center, the letter's "O.R." written under the Maple Leaf. On top of the singlet, Owen wears a white lab coat.

Coors: The following match, is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first from Vancouver, British Columbia. Owen," O.R.", RICHARDS!

Richards limbers up at the top of the ramp, he finishes his stretches and makes his way down the long metallic ramp leading to the ringside area. Owen finally reaches the bottom of the ramp and begins to get himself psyched up, which pumps the fans up at the same time. The Vancouver born Fighty fighty person then climbs up onto the apron and proceeds to step through the ropes and into the ring. Owen paces back and forth, goes to his corner, and slowly removes his lab coat before dropping it over the top rope and to the floor below.

Big Al: Ok, it's on Richards is going to get mauled by TNT here. We saw these two on Tuesday Night Triumph and it was tense, TNT is more experienced here...and he's a hell of a lot more ruthless.

Fuzz: Taylor is that, he's as ruthless as they come. Owen is still green, and I don't know that he is willing to do anything it takes to win. BUT he's got a tremendous amount of heart, and sometimes that's enough to pick up the win. Any way this goes down, it's going to be a hell of a contest.

As the announcers finish up their thoughts Owen patiently awaits the arrival of Taylor Nathan Thomas, an eerie calm seeming to over take him as he prepares himself mentally for the fight to come.

The bell rings and the action picks up quickly, TNT's experience shines through right off the bat. Owen Richards goes to initiate a collar and elbow tie up but TNT avoids the grapple, wraps around Owen, and locks in an abdominal stretch. Taylor keeps the hold applied, albeit loosely, and tries to wear down his opponent in the early moments of the match.

Big Al: Abdominal Stretch locked in by Taylor Nathan Thomas. You can already see a bad day for Owen Richards in the card, why he challenged Taylor I'll never know. Thomas is way out of his league and Owen is going to learn that the hard way.

Fuzz: Hey now, Owen Richards holds a victory over TNT. Say fluke all you want, but that is fact right there Big Al. I'm going to say TNT will get his moneys worth on this one, he underestimates Owen Richards and that may well come back to bite him.

Owen, showing a bit of technical prowess, unwraps his leg from TNT's hold and then lifts his opponent over his head and drops him just in front of him onto his back. The hip toss reversal gets TNT's Irish blood pumping and he is back up to his feet in no time at all. Taylor gets quickly back into the thick of things, slamming his boot into the stomach of O.R. swiftly forcing him to double over. Thomas follows up swiftly by draping Owen's arm over his head, and snapping backwards slamming him back first onto the canvas. The Harbinger of Pain now kneels beside The Canadian Born Fighty fighty person's torso and locks in an armbar, using his knee to apply more pressure to the limb. Owen flails his other appendages about trying to inch himself closer to the ring ropes, but to no avail. The official calmly asks Owen if he wishes to submit but is answered by a stern shake of the head from Richards. The six foot four Irishman bears down and tries to hyper-extend O.R.'s arm when he shakes his head, Owen remains just as defiant prompting Taylor to abandon the hold and step away from Owen to formulate another gameplan.

Fuzz: The pitbull like Taylor Nathan Thomas surprisingly letting go of his hold. This could be a sign that he has much bigger plans for the right arm of Owen Richards later on. Keep an eye out for that.

Big Al: He should have keep the armbar firmly locked in, Owen would have had two choices there. Tap, or get your arm snapped like a twig.

The Canadian Technician lies on the mat and rubs his arm gingerly as TNT paces back and forth, a wild look in his eyes. Owen meanwhile has rolled to his side and gotten himself back to a stand, this prompts TNT to stop and the two competitors lock eyes. It's Owen Richards, this time, who goes on the offense spinning and slamming the heel of his boot into Thomas' gut dropping him to all fours. Owen now takes a couple of steps towards Taylor, hops into the air, and lands back to back atop TNT crumpling him to the mat. The former SAW student now drags TNT towards the middle of the ring and shoots the half for the pin. The ref slides into position and starts his count, this is broken up however as TNT breaks the count at a little after a one count. The fan's begin to jeer Taylor and a Owen chant resonates throughout the arena pumping up Richards in the process. O.R. gets to a stand and pulls TNT along with him, he goes for a move but is brought to a screeching halt by TNT who grabs hold of his right arm, and yanks it towards the ground shooting a jolt of pain through Owen's body. This pause from Owen, no matter how brief, allows TNT to take advantage and wrench the arm. As Owen groans from the pain coursing through his arm TNT listens on with great joy, he then brings his elbow crashing down into the arm causing Richards to slump to the ground and clutch onto his arm once again.

Big Al: Ho, ho, ho. You sure called it Fuzzy, TNT going back to the arm, working Owen Richards over quite well. That'll be a deciding factor in this matchup for sure.

Fuzz: Yeah, I hate to say it. But you could be right, Taylor Nathan Thomas knows how to pick out a body part and target it throughout a contest. This strategy has won him countless victories in the past, but let's not jump to a conclusion about THIS match. Owen Richards is still very much in this one. He could turn up the heat at any time, and then it's look out TNT.

TNT, smelling blood in the water, grabs the hurting arm of his opponent and lifts it off of the mat. The Vancouver Native struggles, but to no avail as Taylor drops a hard knee down across the arm making the pain that much worse for Owen. Taylor is back to his feet, and once again he employs the same strategy, seeming to be intent on dishing out as much punishment to the right arm as he possibly can. Taylor, not quite content with the damage done, drags Owen to the ropes and drapes his arm over the middle rope. Taylor then stomps harshly down on the arm causing Owen to roll around and groan in agony. O.R.'s pain is like music to The Harbinger's ears, Taylor doesn't even bother to move Owen opting instead to simply roll him onto his back. Taylor sits across Owen's shoulders and pulls his right arm back into an awkward position, Owen's screams become loud, seemingly loud enough to hear all throughout the arena. The ref asks Owen if he's going to give, but again Owen's answer is a no. The crowd now begins getting behind Richars, this however only serves to anger TNT even more. Taylor, not happy with the fans reaction, leans back and puts even more force behind his reverse armbar.

Fuzz: Good god, Owen just tap! It's not worth getting your arm broken. A win is great, but is it worth THIS!

Big Al: This and much more, I may not like Owen Richards...but he sure knows how to hang on. I still think he's going to lose, but I'll admit he's got heart.
