Sledge Hammer vs. Desperado vs. Emblem

[emblem]

Ray: From The Ashes, at the Korakuen Hall, has been spectacular so far, and it will go even further!

JP: Up next, Sledge Hammer, Desperado, and Emblem! A Hardcore Cage match for the Triumph title! this is going to get messy!

Ray: Who is your favorite JP?

JP: Well, I have none. All three of these men pushed themselves to the end to get that title. Sledge and Desperado got through the tournament, and Emblem fought a gruesome match with Scotty Dreamer.

Ray: Well, I have to say I do not think this is 100% fair. Emblem fought one match, Sledge and Desperado more!

JP: Yes, but Emblem stepped up when he needed to, and hell, did you see that match with Dreamer? I think you should be a bit looser on Emblem, and hey, he IS probably going to give it all, again, tonight!

Ray: Speaking of the devil, he's coming right now...

Step Up by Drowning Pool starts to play, but this time, no blinking darkness. Korakuen Hall does not not allow flashy titantrons and much effects. Emblem respects this, and this time, he simply pases through the curtains, hands to the sides, and he is still getting the ovation he always gets. Emblem is dressed in his red MattHardy- pants, a tight black T-shirt, and matching red and black arm wrappings. Around his neck hangs a necklace, with his black and red brass knuckles hanging on them. Emblem's hair is tied in a long woven ponytail, stretching down to his lower back. Emblem walks in a straight front line, and keeps raiding his arms more and more, until he has reached ringside.

Lizzie: Introducing, From The Netherlands, He is The Impulsive...EMBLEM!!!

The ovation starts again, as Emblem walks over to the cage door. A ringside attendant opens the door, as Emblem decides to walk around the cage once, checking his environment.
JP: Long time Emblem has been inside a cage, let alone a hardcore one...

Ray: Yeah but Emblem has this sick side, his past. He always was a sick extreme bastard, he's just more concentrated now...

Emblem walks to the door, and enters, bowing under the top rope, entering the ring. Emblem then starts to climb the cage, much to the awe of the fans. Emblem gets on the cage quickly, being able to use his length. Emblem gets himself in a vertical position, and looks straight forward, but after a second, Emblem bows deeply.

JP: I hope he keeps his balance...

Emblem gets up again, and walks over the cage top to all the other corners, repeating the same bow on all sides, and everytime, Emblem is met with good replies and flashing camera's.

Ending his entrance, Emblem lowers himself in the cage, stretches a bit, and places his brass knuckles in his pocket, while throwing the necklace in the crowd. One Japanese girl catches it, and looks really happy with it. Emblem looks at her, and blinks with his left eye, almost making the Jap pass out.

Ray: If he would do that to me...

JP: He won't, so keep quiet.

Emblem starts looking at the curtains, focused for the next participant to enter, while Step Up by Drowning Pool dies out, having played the entire song..

[Tommy Musashi]

OOC: Sorry, forgot to add the stipulations.

Sledge Hammer: Escape Cage - Basically, the only way for Sledge to win is by escaping the cage.

Desperado: Disqualification - If Desperado is caught using a weapon, he is DQed.

Emblem: Banned from Signature moves - If emblem is caught using his signature moves/finishers. He is DQed.(randomly chosen)

Desperado and Emblem can either win by Submission, pin, or escaping the cage.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As the audience falls to a small hush, they don't take much time to begin their menacing boos to the beat of St. Anger by Metallica.

JP: And here is the Wild Card! The man who Emblem should of faced in the first round of this tournament!

Ray: ooh, my sexy Sledge would of won anyway.

Sledge Hammer struts his way out of the back in his classic green karate pants, and his muscular built torso open for the world to see. He ignores the audience, glancing at Emblem once before, stepping through the open cage door, and quickly leaping up the steel steps with ease.

Lizzie: Introducing next, weighing in tonight at 265 lbs, hailing from San Francisco, California... Sleedge HAMMER!

He waltz his way a little across the apron and puts one foot through the ropes before pausing and making his long evil glare at the crowd booing insanely at him. He then proceeds to enter the ring entirely and moves into to a turnbuckle to call his own.

tbc Desperado

[emblem]

Emblem and Sledge notice Desperado is taking a long time, so Emblem points at a ringside technician, and asks for a microphone. Emblem gets his mic, and starts to chat a little:

Emblem: Yo, Sledge. Let's edit this tournament a bit. You have the 'Cage Escape' stipulation, and I have the 'No Signatures' on me. Desperado is taking too long if you ask me. Now, we are going to give the Japanese what they want! this is OUR time at the Korakuen Hall, and we are going to use it! Let's start this off!

Emblem throws the mic over the cage, making it land with a searing thud. Emblem points at the referee at ringside, ans then point at the door. Sledge comes out of his corner, as Emblem moves to the middle.

JP: Guess Emblem wants to use his time well!

Ray: Sledge too, he didn't ignore Emblem or said no...We are starting!

Emblem and Sledge circle around each other a bit, and suddenly, they shoot forward, locking up. they both try to get the advantage. Sledge seems to be getting the advantage, as he bows a bit over Emblem, and pushes him out of the lock-up after a few seconds. Emblem strokes his nose, claps his cheeks, hops on the mat, and steps forward again, trying to lock up with Sledge. Sledge steps in too, but Emblem seems to get the better side of the lock up, as it looks as if both men are equal now.

JP: Emblem must have been lucky. Normally, he uses his height and strength to get the upper hand. Now he can lift Sledge, but sledge can do that too. Next to that, these men are almost the same size!

Ray: Yes, and Sledge Hammer is older too. But that can be rendered useless, as Emblem has quite some time in the business, he can role with everyone!

Sledge Hammer now seems to get the upper hand slowly, as he is pushing Emblem towards a turnbuckle. Emblem can not do anything anything against it, and eventually, Sledge has Emblem in the corner. Sledge distances himself a bit, then punches Emblem with a right hook on the face, making Emblem's head go all the way to the left, followed by his white woven ponytail.

Sledge distances himself about 5 metres, almost at the other turnbuckle, and runs back...shoulder blocking Emblem firm against the turnbuckle. Emblem slides down, and ends up in a sitting position of the turnbuckle. Sledge grabs the ropes, and places on foot on the mat, while stomping Emblem with the other.

Ray: I cannot look at this! He is stomping a mudhole in Emblem!

JP: Emblem is baned from signature moves, so he will NOT be doing that to Sledge!

Suddenly, Emblem kicks at Sledge's standing leg, disturbing Sledge's movements, making him stop the stomping, getting back in his rhythem. Emblem grabs the second ropes, and in time, uses them to roll out of the way, creating some distance between him and Sledge Hammer.

JP: Emblem seems to have trouble in the start of this match!

Ray: Well, Sledge is no pushover, and how long has it been that Emblem fought in a cage? and against a bigger superstar, in both size and weight? He is just scouting, he needs his time to see an opening. If he does not...he's done for.

JP: I think Emblem needs to use the fact that Sledge can only win by escaping the cage...

[Desperado]

There is a huge roar from the crowd. Some in cheer but the majority in boo’s. There is a controversy as the camera’s pan around to catch the excitement and eventually find themselves fixed upon a hooded figure running through the fans in the Korakuen Hall. He pushes past the spectators who are enjoying one of the most thrilling night’s of their lives having the GHW travel to their home city of Tokyo to perform a pay-per-view. The mystery man jumps over the guard-rail and approaches the cage. Dressed in a long black gown with golden lining, he bears resemblance to a man hated amongst the Decimation superstars. ‘Destiny’ is sewn upon the back of his gown throwing away any doubt that remained amongst the viewers. Desperado lets the hood fall from his face to reveal his eager look. Determination sparkling in his eyes, fury boiling from them. He lets the gown drop to the floor leaving behind a stealthy beast with the figure most people would die for. He looks upon the ring dressed in his black leather trunks with three golden stripes along each side representing Adidas sportswear. The custom Golden Angel is hanging around his waist. He poses in pride before ripping it loose and handing it over to Lizzie Morna.

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“Look who finally decides to join them? None but the Golden Angel Champion himself, … Desperado. Although he has come in late, he should be allowed to participate for the difficulties he had to face to make it this far in the tournament. Doing the impossible and beating his long time rival Dave Carter followed by the deadly determination and inspiring ability of Sting.”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“What do you mean he should be? Obviously he will take part in this match-up. It would be totally unfair and I for one will complain.”

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“And I’m sure they’ll all listen to you Ray. Now why not shut your ranting and commentate like the good little boy you are.”
(Sarcastically)

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“Are you mocking me?”

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“What ever makes you think that?”
(Sarcastically)[/center]

Desperado jogs upon his feet outside the ring as Sledge and Emblem continue to oppose each other, ignoring the presence of Desperado outside the ring. Desperado approaches the cage door and orders the Japanese ring-side assistant to open the entrance. She refuses to do so claiming he is too late and the doors are shut. A furious Desperado grabs her by the lock of her hair and smashes her head into cage in front drawing blood from her nose. She falls unconscious as other staff members run to her aid. Desperado ignores their ranting as well as the jeering from the crowd. The cold-blooded champion jumps upon the cage and begins climbing it to make his way into the match.

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“What is he doing?”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“Well that bitch wouldn’t open the door for my sweetheart, now he has to use up his energy and climb the cage.”

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“Well it makes it fair. I mean the guys in the ring have been wrestling whilst Desperado decided to bide his time in coming down to the ring.”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“He must have caught up in some trouble causing him to come late. I mean why would he risk losing the shot at the title he fought so hard to earn. If you ask me, it was probably a sly tactic by one of the guy‘s in the ring and my suspicion arises upon Sledge Hammer.”

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“Why is that?”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“I don’t know, he just seems so evil. Besides, Desperado already cost him the Golden Angel title by eliminating him from the match up at the Gods Vs Heretics pay-per-view.”[/center][/color]

Desperado’s opponents are dealing with each other technically, with Emblem locking Sledge Hammer in a mortal submission hold. Sledge Hammer holding on with immense will power against the figure four leg lock. Desperado reaches the top and knowing he has little or no time remaining, he launches himself from the top with a swift summersault into the air. The crowd stare in awe as the Jimmy Pate and Ray White get off their feet. Desperado soars in mid-air performing a shooting star press in the form of ‘Destiny’ with great fluency and elegance showing mind blowing aerialist ability. He connects with both his opponents as lands with a earth-cracking ‘Thud’. Desperado ricochets off his opponents clutching his stomach in grief whilst juddering in a fit of pain. His opponents are also rolling around as the pain rubs into their bones and muscles as well as stinging their flesh. The height off the fall bringing impact upon the gravity defying move.

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“Oh my god, Desperado just launched himself from the top of the cage performing his signature move, ‘The Destiny’. An amazing shooting star press I must say but a foolish mistake. A fall from that height caused more damage to him than his opponents.”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“Well at least he hurt both of them as well as breaking up the submission hold. What would be the point of climbing down when during that time, he would have already cost himself match. I‘m sure he will be all right. He has been through many matches and taken dangerous falls like this one.”

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“It will leave him at an even greater disadvantage to his opponents. That fall could have caused some serious damage, maybe an injury or a broken bone even. The least he could face is bruised stomach muscles.”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“Nooooo, … Not his beautiful abs. That would be such a huge tragedy to the wrestling world.”[/center][/color]

Emblem is the first to recover as he struggles to his feet and makes a shoot for the escape. Climbing the cage as fast as he could, using his light-weight and young age as a slight advantage over his opponent’s. Sledge manages to crawl up to his feet, taking a moment to find his balance whilst still tackling with the pain from the submission hold. He races upon the cage in chase of Emblem and manages only to catch his feet with a full stretch jump. Emblem tries to kick him off but Sledge proves to be too much to handle for the ‘Impulsive’ superstar and stops his pursuit of escaping the cage. Desperado is also up after the reckless aerial assault. He takes a moment to realise his opponents are halfway up a cage. Once conscious of the situation, Desperado doesn’t waste any time in bringing them down. Running at full speed, he rattles the steel honeycomb structure of the cage with a charging shoulder smash. The momentum of the charge brings about enough force to make the two contenders to lose their grip on the cage and come crashing down upon each other. Desperado drags Sledge Hammer back into the ring.
He makes use of this advantage to work upon the already damaged legs of Sledge Hammer.

Desperado moves him into the centre of the ring before putting his right leg in between the legs of his opponent before crossing them over. He then spins him over into a sharp-shooter imitating the great Bret Hart. Desperado pulls on the legs of Sledge Hammer, rubbing them against his own whilst straining his rivals lower back to extreme limits. Sledge squeals in pain as he fights hard against the opposing strength of Desperado and his deadly and dangerous submissions. Emblem rushes to break up the submission as did Desperado previously but in a normal manner than the electrifying method Desperado used. Emblem catches Desperado with a blow to the head and follows up with another. Desperado manages to duck the third attempt and bellows one of his own back at Emblem, trouncing him in the stomach with his knuckles. A winded Emblem winces as Desperado grabs hold of him around the front and heaves him off his feet with a belly to belly suplex. Desperado intoxicates his opponents with his technical style of wrestling and his in ring ability. Emblem has little room to do anything as Desperado waves an arsenal of suplex upon him. One after the other. Emblem is helpless to fight back until Sledge Hammer charges in with a powerful clothesline knocking Desperado a few of feet off the ground before watching him slam down onto the canvas. Sledge Hammer takes revenge with a series of stomps on Desperado’s body before locking in a scorpion death lock. Desperado screams in pain as he comes across a similar experience to what he made his opponent suffer.

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“I guess I should say what comes around, goes around eh?”

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“What goes around comes around you idiot.”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“Who you calling an idiot? … Idiot!”

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“I called you an idiot because you are one.”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“Everyone makes mistakes you know. Besides your not perfect, your run miles from it. At least I come close.”

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“You know what, I don’t want to get involved in childish conflicts with you Ray. Now be a good little boy and sit quietly whilst uncle Jimmy announces the match.”
(As if talking to a child)

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“Why does uncles Jimmy where a large hat on his head? Is he a hillbilly?”
(Imitating the voice of a little child)

*Jimmy controls his anger and ignores his co-commentator*[/center]

Sledge Hammer releases the submission hold as Emblem comes into view as he slides into the ring. Sledge runs to meet him with a 44 magnum shot-Spear but is caught out with as Emblem displays a full pelted fist to the head of Sledge Hammer with the brass knuckles that were previously around his neck. The thrust of the spear knocks him into the turnbuckle leaving both men on the floor in pain. Desperado cobbles to his feet and smirks upon the state his opponents put themselves into. Desperado approaches Emblem and covers him for the pin. The referee slides in and counts as his hand strikes the mat…

One …

Two …

Emblem manages to kick out in time leaving Desperado in a foul mood. Desperado diverts his attention towards Sledge Hammer is unconscious from the blow to the head. Desperado covers him for the pin. The referee follows up with his count.

One …

Two …

Emblem breaks up the count leaving Desperado in a frenzy. He moves to attack Emblem but is caught out with knock to the head from the brass knuckles Emblem was wielding. Desperado takes a few steps back dazed from the hit. Emblem strikes him again leaving a cut on Desperado’s forehead. Attaching the brass knuckles back to his chain, he grabs hold of Desperado and wraps his arms around his opponent’s waist. Desperado attempts to fight back but is helpless as the impulsive superstar lifts himself off his feet and drives him down with a german suplex. Desperado crawls along the ground before collapsing. Emblem makes it back to his feet and grabs Desperado by the locks of his hair and smashes his face into the mat with a vicious bulldog. Desperado body rebounds off the mat into a face up position. Emblem takes a look towards the ropes and then at Desperado as his face lights up with an idea. He runs towards the turnbuckle and mounts it before diving back in a moonsault. Emblem lands directly on Desperado’s bruised stomach muscles. The Triumph title contender then covers him for the pin aiming to make his dream of capturing the title a reality. The referee calls the count.

One …

Two …

Sledge Hammer dives into the break up the three count insisting upon the match to continue. He grabs Emblem from around the head and lets his head smash against Emblem’s jaw as he executes a jawbreaker leaving him in anguish. Sledge Hammer take note of his fallen opponent’s and makes a run for the cage, knowing his only chance of winning is by escaping the steel structure engulfing them.

TBCB …

(OOC: Sorry my mistake. I saw it in the normal move lists and didn't bother checking it with the trademark moves. Edit into a moonsault instead. )

[emblem]

( Wrong: Emblem's patented Lionsault is a signature move. I am banned from those by the rules of the match)

JP: Sledge might just win this one!

Ray: Well, Emblem and Desperado are up, sort of...

Both Emblem and Desperado try to get up, but do not manage to get a perfect base, Emblem having his jaw and Desperado having his stomach muscles. they cross faces, then look at Sledge, who has his hands on the edge. Both Emblem and Desperado rush forward, Emblem kicking the ceiling with a K-Thai turning Kick, still having one hand on the jaw, and Desperado dropkicks the cage

The shock from the strong kick from Emblem, accompanied by a second wave by Desperado, releases Sledge his feet from the cage wall. Trying to get grip, and still grabbing the edge of the Cage, Sledge holds on, but in a vulnerable position. Emblem ignores Desperado, slaps on his jaw to get it on with, as he climbs the turnbuckle. Standing on it, Emblem grabs the cage wall, and kicks out at sledge his back. Hitting it on the open back, Sledge feels a pain running down his spine. Not letting go, Emblem does this again, and after the third time, Sledge let's go, making him fall in the ring.

Falling on his feet, and then on his back, Sledge hammer tries to regain some of his momentum, trying to get up quickly, but Desperado sees his chance, and locks Sledge into a devastating Sleeper Hold, accompanied by much boo's from the crowd.

Emblem sees this, and knowing jumping on them would do him more harm then good, Emblem simply uses a bit of the ropes to lunge himself up a bit, climbing the cage fast enough, but looking over his back, keeping an eye on the two other competitors.

JP: Smart move by Emblem, but here comes Desperado!

Desperado instantly releases Sledge hammer, and tries to follow Emblem. Emblem looks back, and sees Desperado as a blood hungry wold standing beneath him. Emblem smiles, apparently not happy with the man. Emblem the places his feet on the cage wall, as if he was walking on them, and pushes off, straight towards Desperado. Desperado is surprised by the moment, as Emblem wraps his legs around Desperado's head, twists them around, and throwing him off with a Hurricanrana. Emblem rolls on, and gets up quickly, while Desperado collides with the cage under the lower rope. Emblem jumps towards Desperado, low dropkicking him even more against the cage.

JP: Desperado has no where to go!

Ray: Neither does Emblem, look behind him!

Emblem turns around, and is instantly lifted by Sledge, and slammed to the ground, in a gruesome spinebuster. Sledge stands up, and looks at Emblem, who was decimated instantly. Sledge looks at Desperado, who was caught between Emblem's dropkick and the cage, with the bottom rope above him.

Sledge looks from Desperado to Emblem, deciding to either try to escape, or increase his momentum, attacking one of the downed superstars...

JP: Sledge has all the ropes in his hands now! HE is currently in control!

[Tommy Musashi]

Sledge doesn't take another moments rest, and begins climbing up the long cage wall. The expression on his face says that he is determined to win this one. No matter what it takes. Desperado finally crawls back into the ring on his hands, noticing the beaten emblem on the mat. "Wait a minute," he thinks to himself,"Where is that low-life scum Sledge Hammer?" The sudden rattling of the cage and grunts gave Sledge Hammer away. Desperado uses what strength he has at the moment to quickly get up on the ropes and grabs one of the leggings of his green karate pants. Sledge Hammer refuses to let go, his fingers deeply clutched onto the wired fence. Desperado falls back a little, causing one butt cheek of Sledge Hammer's to show. He gets embarrassed and falls to the mat, quickly lifting his pants back over his big ass.

Ray: ooooh yeah! I want to see some more of that baby!

JP: Oh no...

Ray: ooh, that would be hot. Desperado and Sledge mmmmmm..

JP: Please shut up. You are grossing me out.

Sledge Hammer begins to get frustrated, quickly clotheslining the rising Destined one. Desperado gets up again and stops the rampaging opponent with a nice beautiful dropkick. Sledge Hammer doesn't stop yet and gets up once again only to be met with a high crescent kick to the head from Emblem. The Lieutenant looks dazed before collapsing on the mat.

Desperado slowly rises his vision from the down Sledge Hammer, to the continuously moving Emblem.

JP: Oh boy, I heard about this. This is Emblem's new K-Thai fighting. He uses his legs for attack, and his arms to evade. A mixture of kick boxing and Maui Thai. A deathly mix.

Ray: Peh, that sounds too gay.. wait a minute.

Desperado takes a swing at Emblem which was easily reflected by his arms. This continued for a few second before Emblem threw a knee into Desperado ribs. The hit took the air out of him, wobbling back grasping his stomach. Emblem began sliding closer to him, trying to get the right distance between himself and his opponent. Eventually he jumps in close, kneeing and kicking Desperado in several places. The Destined man trying his best to protect himself with his arms. Emblem irish whips him across the ring and tries to hit him with a flying knee strike, but Desperado was lucky enough to jump out of the way in time, and letting Sledge Hammer slam a steel chair into the Impulsive, dropping to the mat like a bag of raw meat.

JP: Wow! What chaos! Desperado is the only one that seems lucky not to get hit by something like that yet.

Ray: Go my Despy! Go!

Sledge Hammer grins as he glances over at his chair and back up at Desperado. He gets in his fighting stance, taunting the self proclaimed "Destined one" to step over emblem's body and fight on his side of the ring.

JP: I forgot Desperado can't use weapons. I guess he is at a disadvantage. Well, at the moment anyway.

Ray: Oh, Despy Wespy always figures away around it. Just watch him.

Desperado smirks as he takes a couple steps closer, taking his time, but then decides not to. He shakes his head telling Sledge if he wants him, he has to come over to his side to get him. Desperado smirks as he portrays himself climbing the fence. Sledge Hammer gets furious and charges at his opponent. The Destined man slides underneath him, then quickly grabbing around his waist. Sledge Hammer swings the chair back to hit Desperado's head, getting him to loosen his grip. He turns around toward him and was just ready to swing at his head, but then thought up an idea. He hands the chair to Desperado, and points at his head.

Ray: Yes! Hit Sledge Hammer in the head! Give it to him! He deserves it.

JP: Wow, I think Sledge Hammer is trying to get Desperado DQed.

Ray: Wait.. WHAT? No, do not hit him! Do not hit him!

Desperado looks greatly confused, but just before he was going to actually hit him over the head with the chair. He stops himself, remembering his stipulation. Sledge Hammer was standing there, eyes closed.. Waiting for Desperado to hit him with the chair. Desp drops the chair and fists him as hard as he could. Sledge drops to the ground, looking shocked. Desperado makes a huge teethy grin as he locks his legs around Sledge Hammer and throws him over in a sharpshooter. The immense pain flowing through Sledge's legs once again.

JP: This could be it! This could be the end! He can tap out any second!

Sledge Hammers eyes began to fade. His arms weakening from tugging. The extreme pain slowly draining his life away. As he began to fade, a vision came upon him. An image of the glorified Triumph Title appears in his mind. Reminding him the reason for this match, and how much he wants it. This gave him an extra jolt of energy. His eyes burst with spirit, this extra blood fluid flowing through his veins known as an adrenaline rush. Sledge Hammer some how throws Desperado off of his legs. Desp looking overly surprised and tries to attack the rising Sledge Hammer. Yet the attack was easily countered as Sledge began to lay the smack-down. Throwing fists into his head, chest, and stomach. Leaving no openings. He throws him into the ropes, Desperado tries for a clothesline, his attack previously didn't work, maybe this would stop him. Sledge ducks underneath and places his own arm across the Destined one's chest before lifting him up and slamming him to the ground.

JP: SLEDGE HAMMER SLEDGE HAMMER! That has to be it for him!

{Ray breaks out crying.}

Sledge suddenly lost his adrenaline and he sort of drops the ground. The pain rushing back into his legs, reminding him of the past submission holds. He grits his teeth, pulling himself to the top of the turnbuckle, and then very slowly trying his best to climb up the cage..

JP: Oh wow! That will definitely be a problem for Sledge Hammer,and a smart choice by Desperado to weaken those legs. It might take forever before he gets out of that cage!

Ray: I can't watch!

Sledge Hammer attempts to use his feet to climb the cage, but his legs just got too weak. So he began using his arms, enduring the climb to the top of the cage.

Emblem who was finally awake, crawls over the beaten Desperado. Throwing an arm over for the cover.

Sledge Hammer notices emblem starting the count. He hesitates. He was so close to the top and over, but if he didn't do something about it. Emblem could win in just 3 seconds!

1..

His mind quickly thought about it and endured the extreme pain, and used his legs to cling on the cage as well.

2..

He lets go of the cage and leaps off with his torn legs and was barely able to drop and elbow on Emblem, stopping the count.

JP: Wow! Close call there! I almost thought we had a new Triumph champion for a second!

Ray: I'm glad it wasn't that stupid goody two shoes of a Emblem. He scares me.

[Desperado]

The crowd are cheering at the top of their lungs through the sheer joy and excitement earned from this match-up. Many weeks of excitement on Decimation with stipulation matches for numerous superstars competing against each other for a shot at the title, the final three competitors Desperado, Sledge Hammer and Emblem have all managed to reach the finals of this anticipated tournament. All there of those men lay in the centre of the ring, hurt and bruised. Fatigue driving over them with a tow truck whilst energy is dripping out of their bodies with every effort they make to get back to their feet. Sledge Hammer is the first to make a move back to his feet, using his arms to support him up to his knees before moving onto the ropes to lift himself upright. Desperado rolls to the opposite side lifting his tired ass up whilst Emblem stumbles around the ring trying to find the balance in his soles. All three taken a moment to retain their energy as they rest upon alternate turnbuckles. Sledge looks towards Desperado and then at Emblem. His opponents stare back with equal hatred whilst exchanging a heated glare amongst each other also.

Desperado is the first to make a move, taking a deep breath and moving off from his corner and jerking towards his opponents in an attempt to also pull them out of their holes. His planned scheme works out perfectly drawing his opponents out for a confrontation of fist and feet in the heart of the ring. Desperado rolls out his deadly combination of boxing blows whilst Emblem delivers his muay-thai kick-boxing cross. Sledge Hammer lunges into Desperado with a shoulder bash before he is hit with one of Emblem high kicks. The strike leaves him dazed for a few seconds giving his opponent the opportunity to gash the area beneath Sledge Hammer’s right eye. Sledge Hammer ignores the pain and fights back with combination of strikes, taking Emblem into the corner of the ring. Desperado watches as the two battle it out amongst them. Waiting for the precise moment, he charges in as Sledge Hammer moves away from Emblem. The Spear connects with Sledge Hammer dead on the stomach driving him into turnbuckle, squashing Emblem beneath him.

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“Great play by Desperado. He knocked Sledge Hammer into Emblem taking them both out with one move. What do you call that again? … Oh yeah, that’s like killing a bird with two stones.”

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“Were you born stupid or did you pick it up whilst you grew older. It’s two birds with a single stone. Why mention it if you don’t know it right. You just ruin it.”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“Why, did I say something wrong.”

Desperado hops to his feet in joy, taking a moment out to pose in front of the fans, mocking their jeering with his arrogant taunts. Once content with his performance, he takes another look at his fallen opponents before jogging over to make moves on the steel cage. Desperado feels the weariness from the match with every step he takes to climb the cage. His arms grow heavier by the second. His legs dragging him down with the overload of lactic acid. He pushes his body against the gradient of pain standing against him like a brick wall. Motivating himself on, with the sights of the title hanging on the line. Having worked his way to the half mark he looks down upon his opponents and is taken by surprise as he catches Emblem hot on his trail. Desperado quickens his pace in alarm and stammers, losing his step and grip upon the cage. He loses precious time in which not only does Emblem reach him, Sledge Hammer is also climbing up the cage in hot pursuit for the win. Desperado struggles against Emblem who wraps his arms around Desperado’s waist and drags him free from the cage wall and german suplex him into the ring.

Desperado rolls on the ground in vain as Emblem locks in a crucial submission hold. Desperado screams as Emblem applies pressure on his legs with the figure-four leg lock. The screaming attracts Sledge Hammer’s attention like a cry for help. Not that Sledge Hammer was interested in rescuing Desperado and acting up the hero, however the worry of losing out on the match leaves him in a predicament. Does he go for the win and continue climbing or jump hoping Desperado can last that long or jump down and break up the submission hold.

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“Would you look at that, Sledge is fixed up in a dilemma. To climb or no to climb? … that is the question.”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“You said I was daft, you don‘t even know Shakespeare. It’s actually to be or to be not.”

*Jimmy Pate bursts out laughing*

::[~~Jimmy Pate~~]::
“You seriously need to see someone, you have a right problem there .”

::[~~Ray White~~]::
“I know but Desperado just can’t seem to notice me. Don’t you think I would date him if I could. I just can’t bring up the courage to ask him. I don’t what he would say.”

*Jimmy Pate puts his head in his hands and shakes his head*

JP: And still, Sledge Hammer does not know what to do! But every second that he takes distances him from a bright solution, and brings Emblem closer to the title!

Ray: Come on sledge! Decide! Emblem can be charming sometimes, but he's creepy now!

Sledge looks up, seeing he's quite far, but feeling the fatigue in his legs, it might take too long. Sledge decides to jumps off the Cage wall, roll through, stand up quickly and attack Emblem with a hard punch to the side of the head.

Emblem instantly releases Desperado, as Sledge continues to target Emblem. Swiftly placing punches, Sledge pushes a covered-up Emblem in the corner. Keeping the punching on, but out of nowhere, Emblem grabs Sledge his head with both hands, startling him, and headbutting him straight to the face. Sledge instantly falls to his knees, grabbing his nose with both arms.

JP: Emblem nailed him! He aimed for the frontal head, but he probably got he nose too!

Emblem looks at Sledge with the red blooded anger of a blood hungry wolf. Emblem grabs Sledge by the neck with both hands, and lifts him up in the air. Sledge struggles, but does not seem to get free. Emblem then just releases Sledge, and backs off, trying to calm himself.

Ray: What did he do! He had him!

JP: You don't seem to know Emblem that well do you? Emblem had Sledge in the position for his Anger Management. The only thing he had to do is throw Sledge over his back, somersaulting him, and making him land flat on his back. But that would have cost him the match. Emblem's anger almost made him forget the stipulations.

Emblem looks at sledge, who is taking his breath, but realizing there are three men in this match, Emblem turns to his left, seeing Desperado getting up. Emblem now looks at him, and decides it's time for revenge. Emblem charges at Desperado, and violently spears him, taking him down to the mat. Emblem mounts him, and starts to hit him on very possible spot he can. Desperado covers up, and eventually, Emblem rolls off. Desperado gets up as quick as possible, and from the other side, Sledge is getting back in the action.

JP: Emblem didn't do a bad job, but he should have created an opening for himself.

Ray: Er?

JP: He should have used his energy more efficiently, as should you. Drooling over Desperado is a wast of energy.

Ray: Well, let me waste my energy then!

[Tommy Musashi]

Sledge Hammer grips onto the nearby ropes, sweat poured from his face as he pulls himself to his feet. His legs still damaged pretty bad from past submission holds. His eyes scan the battlefield, noticing the fight between emblem and Desperado. Both uniquely giving there all in the match. Emblem is static with energy, taking the advantage over the tired Desperado. He was thrown toward Sledge, but with strength he did have left, Desperado reverses the throw. Sledge Hammer falls over slightly, pulling on the ropes causing the running emblem to flip over and into the exterior cage.

JP: And Emblem will probably be out for just a couple minutes from that!

Ray: Good!

JP: Seriously, what is your problem with people who fight for good?

Ray: I like bad boys cowboy.. bad boys. {giggles} Somebody who can play rough-

JP: Alright Alright! I get it. Don't have to go in full detail.

Desperado pants heavily as well as Sledge hammer who once again forces himself to his feet using his arms. The two glance at one another, there eyes fury in rage and anger. The similar goal shows in their eyes, the Triumph Title. They stagger to each other. Desperado makes the first swing with his right.. Sledge stumbles for a sec before returning an iron left fist to his opponent's cheek. The Japanese audiance just astonished by how much endurance and strength these competitors can have at once as the two men take turns striking one another.

JP: Who is going to out do the other?

Ray: Desperado!

JP: Who is going to win the match!?

Ray: Desperado!

JP: Who is going to shut the hell up about Desperado!

Ray: You are!

{Jimmy slams the back of Ray's head into the announce table.}

Suddenly, out of all this tension of these two men beating one another. The hero in this match takes a leap onto the top ropes from next to the cage, leaping high into the air, and using his shoulders to tackle both other competitors to the ground.

JP: Wow! Flying Shoulder Tackle from Emblem! This is just becoming an amazing match! All three men tired out of their mind.. To tell you the truth, any three of these men have a great chance of winning, just one slip up from either opponent can cause the other one to win!

Ray: I told you before.. Des-

{JP rises his hand to warn Ray of another smack}

Ray: I mean.. nothing.. nothing..

[emblem]

JP: It keeps amazing me how much ways a three man match can go. How many facts work in all ways, hoe the men react, what they think, how they attack, teaming, sly thoughts.

Ray: Well I know Desperado, my boy is going to win this one!

JP: I was trying to give some extra feeling to this match, philosophizing about the match itself. Then you barge in and completely ruin the moment, ignoring my previous actions that made you bump your head.

Ray falls awkwardly silent, while JP focuses the ring once more. Emblem seems to be the fastest on his feet, using the adrenalin he got form the jump. Still dazed by the jumps, Emblem tries to get a clear picture. Desperado distanced himself after the jump, while Sledge is trying to get up at the same spot. Emblem smirks, and looks from Desperado to Sledge. Sledge falls through his legs, and moves himself to a turnbuckle. Desperado tries to raise himself, sitting on one foot and one knee, head lowered...Emblem sees this in a flash of a second.

Emblem paces over at Desperado, grabs his head with both hands, raises him, and slams his head back to the mat, taking his entire body with him. Desperado bounces of the mat, while Emblem takes a step back, and lowers his body a bit..

JP: We Have seen this before! Prepare for a headache! Emblem got this right, It's no signature move, but he did use it before!

Ray: Oh no! Desperado, duck!

Desperado veers himself up angrily, Emblem leaps forward, twists his body, trying to hit Desperado with a spinning Crescent kick. In a millisecond, Desperado ducks..

Ray: Woo!

Emblem twists, and prepares, knowing he did not hit, but thanks to the spinning and power behind it, Emblem needs to get his feet on the mat. Desperado steps in, and throws Emblem up in the air, in a back-suplex-fashion. thanks to the anger, desperado threw Emblem too far off, allowing Emblem to moonsault himself on his feet. Emblem is disorientated, and turns around, actually turning his back on Desperado. Emblem sees sledge Hammer storming towards him, and Impulsively let's himself fall to the mat. Sledge runs over Emblem, and nails Desperado with a shoulder block, making him fall to the ropes and the cage wall.

JP: And Again, Sledge is on his feet! He's up, even with those legs! You have to admit he's hard as a rock!

Emblem stands up, while Sledge turns around, facing Emblem. Both men circle around each other, as they did in the start of the match.

[Desperado]

JP: "This match has been amazing, you have got to agree with that Ray."

Ray: "Amazing it has but my poor Despy is knocked out. Without him there is no fun. But then again, I can watch him laying down."

JP: "You disguist me. I'm not sure why I still work here. I don't get paid enough to put up with a clown like you."

Ray: "Well its not exactly fun sitting here with a guy with no sense of humour or cosideration for anyone else besides himself and his perfect wrestling. I wish Desperado would make you eat all the negative you speak about him."

JP: "I speak the truth and you know it."

Ray: "Yeah whatever."

Sledge Hammer and Emblem lock on each other with a grapple hold. Sledge gets the advantage at first as he wras his arm against Emlem's head in a headlock. Emblem strikes his fist against Sledge Hammer's waist refusing to back down. Sledge is forced to release the hold as Emblem begins to pound away at his opponent. The fury of fists is followed by an irish whip into the ropes. Sledge Hammer lifts his arms on the return catching Emblem on the chest with a diving clothesline. He gets to his feet in a rush and upon turning finds himself at the end of a back brain kick from Desperado. The Golden Angel champion smorks as Sledge falls to the ground. He watches in pleasure before running across the ring into the ropes and bouncing off them before performing a forward roll on the ground. He draws nearer to Sledge Hammer whilst rolling and exactly after the roll he flips into the air in a summersault landing on Sledge Hammer with a senton splash.

Ray: "Now that's what I'm talking about. See how he livens things up."

JP: "Yet still everyone hates him. I wonder It doesn't matter what you had for dinner! Is it because of his arrogance or his disrespect for the opponent's he faces."

Ray: "Not everyone hates him."

Emblem gains the strength to cower his way back to his feet. He has little time to react as Desperado pounces at him with shining wizard. Showing extreme reflexes and awesome athleticism, Emblem slips low, bending his body back just enough to go beneath Desperado's lifted knee and lets him fall onto his knees after the attempt fails. The crowd cheer for their hero as he lines himself up behind Desperado for a phenominal strike. Desperado turns to face a jumping double kick to the head. Both kicks connects to the side of Desperado's head knocking his mind into another dimension.

JP: "Desperado's world just got rocked by that japanese style martial arts kick. The crowd seemed to love it."

Ray: "My poor Despy, ... Let me go he needs my help."
