Vladimir Strife vs. Desperado - Thumbtack DM

[Vladimir T. Strife]

Lizzie: "Ladies and Gentlemen... our next match is a Thumbtack Deathmatch where 4 garbage cans filled with thumbtacks will be placed in the ring and the only way to win is to make your opponent submit or render them unconscious."

As Lizzie is explaining the match to the audience, eight guys come walking down to the ring carrying the aluminum trashcans filled with thousands and thousands of thumbtacks.

"Introducing first.. from Sighisoara, Romania... weighing in at 269 pounds... he is the King Of The Deathmatch Champion... Vladimir T. Strife!"

'All Hail the New Flesh' explodes through the P.A. as the audience prepares for a great match. Vladimir steps out from the back wearing his typical long sleeve raven blue shirt and black pants, the KOTDM title across his waist. Part of the audience cheers as Vladimir makes his way to the ring and slides in.

Vladimir takes the belt off and holds it high as the audience cheers and boos.

JP: This will be Vladimir's first match back since the 6 man electric pool match and the first one since he returned from his stay at the psychiatric hospital... you have to wonder what kind of shape he's in both physically and mentally, Ray.
Ray: It's also his first match in GHW that isn't a main event. But I think he'll do just fine, that sadistic, evil, sexy man always seems to make it by somehow.

Vladimir tosses the belt out to JP to hold for him and turns toward the entrance as his music fades out, waiting for his opponent.

[Desperado]

Lizzie: "His opponent from Brooklyn, New York ... Weighing in at 212 lbs, ... making his debut tonight, ... Desperado."

The lights in the arena do dim as the name 'Desperado' appears on the titantron in gold writing on a black background before fireworks explode from the entrance as "Lose Yourself" by eminem begins to play.

Desperado appears at the entrance wearing a black hooded gown. 'Desperado' is gold in written on the back. Desperado jogs down the ramp making light boxing actions as if getting ready for his match.

Desperado climbs the steel steps to the ring and stops as he reaches the top. He pulls his arms out wide, tilting his head back looking up towards the lights of the arena dropping his hood to reveal his face, full of determination. He lets his gown drop to the ground revealing black trunks with two gold stripes. He is wearing long black shoes up to knee hieght. His hands are wrapped in bandages.

He enters the ring and stands face to face in front of Vladimir Strife. Showing no signs of nervousness from being in front of millions of fans for the very first time. Nor show any signs of being afraid of facing one of the greatest stars in the history of GHW in one of the most gruesome and painfull matches ever to be invented by man.

JP: "This guy seems to be ready for the match, this is a good sign from a Fighty fighty person walking into his first match."
Ray: "Look at the nerve of this guy standing in front of the sexy villain himself."

[Vladimir T. Strife]

Vladimir and Desperado lock up, trying to push one another towards the corners. Vladimir pushes Desperado back a few feet, moving him closer and closer towards a can of thumbtacks. Desperado braces himself though and pushes back, moving Vladimir back towards the opposing corner.

Vladimir grabs one of Desperado's wrists and runs underneath it, twisting it and holding it tightly. Desperado winces and grints his teeth as Vladimir wrenches it a few times, sending pain up through it. Desperado flips forward to untwist it then grabs Vlad's wrists and twists it himself.

JP: A nice counter there from Desperado.
Ray: Man, they're starting kind of slow...
JP: A very technical approach, these guys are picking their spots, Ray.

Vladimir tries to pull out of it, struggling. He gets an idea, but it's left unfulfilled as Desperado leaps up and dropkicks Vladimir in the chest. Both men drop to the mat and Desperado grabs the arm again, wrapping his legs tightly around it and working it over with the armbar.

Vladimir uses his free arm to help himself get to his feet and roll Desperado over onto his face. He delivers a stiff kick to the stomach, making Desperado break the hold. Vladimir pounces on the man with a kneedrop across the shoulder. He grabs Desperado's arm and pulls it up while grinding the shoulder against the mat in a modified Fujiwara armbar.

Desperado yells in pain for a second as Vladimir yells at him to tap out. After about 5 times of screaming for him to and Desperado replying with a simple "F*ck you", Vladimir lets go and stomps on the shoulder.

JP: This newcomer is already hanging in there nicely and showing Vladimir that he'll be no pushover. I can already tell that this is going to be a great match here tonight.

[Desperado]

Vladimir continues to stomp on Desperado's shoulder. The pain can be seen on Desperado's sorry face.

Vladimir lifts his opponent and irish whips him across into the top-left corner before nailing a spear that sends him knocking the trashcans to the floor. Desperado yelps in pain as his body makes contact with the thumbtacks.

Desperado, using the ropes as support manages to get to his feet. Many Thumbtacks can be seen stuck his back. Trickles of blood are staining his back.

JP: "Thats gotta hurt. I mean what was he thinking walking into a match like this. I feel sorry for this kid, having to face Vladimir in a Thumbtack Deathmatch."

Ray: "Well that'll show for stepping up to Vladimir, besides he has done well for even lasting this long. He should given up from the arm bar Vladimir used but if he wishes to carry on. I for one don't mind, I mean you don't always get to see a Thumbtack Deathmatch."

Desperado gives a cold stare to Vladimir, fighting off the pain. He runs in at Vladimir with a clothesline that misses completely. Vladimir tries to punish him with a kick to the midsection which is stopped by Desperado followed by a martial-arts kick of his own, right in the head of Vladimir, knocking him to the floor.

Desperado grabs the Trash can that is closest to him and lets the content spread across the floor of the ring. He then lifts Vladimir by his hair and takes him to a turnbuckle. Both men slowly climb to the top.

JP: "Don't tell me he is gonna do what I think he is."
Ray: "The mad kid is going for a superplex, he is going to risk his own to damage the beautiful body of Vladimir. Don't do it."

Desperado lifts Vladimir above his head and both men crash down on to the tacks below.

The crowd is chanting, "Holy Shit, Holy Shit."

JP: "Oh my god, ... Desperado has just launched himself and KOTDM champion from the top-rope on to the Thumbtacks below. This is truly a deathmatch."
Ray: "I don't know if these two are going to make it out tonight still standing on their two feet."

[Vladimir T. Strife]

The two men quickly get up to their feet, trying to get away from the stabbing pain in their backs. Vladimir, animalisically begins to throw wild punches across Desperado's torso, fighting at the pain. Desperado takes a few shots before beginning to return them back. After a few, Vladimir is caught off guard with an uppercut. Feeling dazed, Vladimir stumbles around a bit before getting a boot to the gut.

Desperado turns Vladimir around and grabs his head under his arm. He looks around to the audience, then spins around with an inverted neckbreaker that slams Vlad's face into the thumbtacks.

Ray: NOT THE FACE!!!
JP: Oh, man! He just spun Vladimir and dropped him face first into a world of pain!

Desperado gets back up and grabs the garbage can, which still is about half full of thumbtacks. As Vladimir is slowly getting up and pulling out thumbtacks from his cheek, Desperado lifts up the can and tosses it onto Vladimir. As it covers over Vlad's head and upper torso, thumbtacks stab at his head and shoulders as the thumbtacks pour out on him.

Desperado measures Vladimir up and climbs to the second turnbuckle. He jumps off and kicks into the top of the can, throwing Vladimir to the mat.

JP: Wow, this newcomer is really taking it to Vladimir. This could end up as the underdog story of the year!
Ray: Vlad is still sexier though..

Vladimir slides the can off of his head after a moment and throws a punch into Desperado's gut as he gets close. Desperado backs up a little and Vladimir gets up to his feet, looking at him in anger as blood drips out from thumbtacks in his forehead.

Desperado comes in for a clothesline on Vladimir, but Vlad grabs the wrist and irish whips him towards the corner. Desperado jumps over the trashcan of thumbtacks in that corner and onto the turnbuckle, grabbing the ropes to brace himself.

As Vladimir comes rushing in, Desperado holds onto the ropes and jumps back grabbing Vladimir's head with his legs. Vladimir pushes up on Desperado's torso and pulls back. Desperado reaches out for the ropes again but can't find them as he drops face-first onto the can of tacks. Vladimir pushes Desperado's legs off and lets him stay there a moment.

JP: Ow! Vladimir turned the tables there, letting Desperado land face first on the trashcan of thumbtacks.
Ray: Vladimir's definately sexier now.

Vladimir walks to the opposite turnbuckle, then runs at Desperado, taking a huge running start. As he reaches him, he pushes himself off of Desperado's back in a leapfrog. He lands his bottom on the back of Desperado's head, forcing his face down more and causing some tack to spill over the sides.

[Desperado]

Desperado manages to scrape away from the corner with a cheap eye-poke.

Desperado reveals a bloody face with many scratches and tacks still remaining on his face. He seems dazed as he is circling the ring, finding it hard to stay on his feet.

Vladimir recovering from the eye-poke runs in with a knee attack only for Desperado to move out of the way and plant a back brain kick on Vladimirs face. Vladimir is quick on his feet only to meet a Belly-to-belly suplex. Desperado lands a few stomps to keep him down and takes this chance to Lock Vladimir into a Sharshooter. Vladimir screams in pain. "Tap you son of a bitch, TAP!" Desperado is screaming at Vladimir, pulling harder and stretching as far back as he can.

Vladimir uses his upper body strength to fight of the pain, holding himself off the ground before doing a forward roll resulting in Desperado going head over heels knocking into a Thumbtack Can. There are now thumbtacks all over the floor of the ring.

Vladimir starts to fire punches at Desperado body and head. Desperado sends back his own arsenal of body blows. Desperado goes for a hook but misses as Vladimir ducks beneath it and lands a driving punch to the midsection before placing a bulldog on Desperado's sorry ass across the ring.

Vladimir takes the opportunity to gets on one knee by the legs of a Desperado. He takes Desperado's closer leg and folds it back before taking the far leg and pulling it over in a four shape. He takes his arm further away from Desperado and slides it between the calf and thigh muscle of the folded leg, then brings his closer arm through the hole of the four of Desperado's legs. He locks his fingers for a tight hold and pulls up, sliding his knee forward to keep the bent leg pressed against the folded one.

Desperado Screams in pain...

JP: "Is that what I think it is."
Ray: "Yeah it is, it's the most painfull submission ever, it's the Celtic Cloverleaf."

[Vladimir T. Strife]

Desperado grabs onto the ropes and pulls himself to them. The referee tells him that there's no DQ though, the ropes are pointless. Vladimir pulls tighter on the legs and Desperado reaches out and bites on the rope to keep from screaming. Getting frustrated that Desperado is holding on through the pain, Vladimir lets go of the hold and rolls out of the ring.

Desperado rubs his legs as he rolls over, trying to alleviate the pain. Vladimir throws a gas can in the ring and follows it in. He pulls it up and glares over to Desperado before carrying it to another corner. Vladimir looks down at the trashcan filled with thumbtacks and unscrews the gas cap. Vlad pours it out into the garbage can and then tosses the gas can back outside.

JP: What the hell is he doing!?
Ray: I don't know and I don't think I want to know.

Vladimir heads back over to Desperado and Desperado leaps up and hits him with a quick spear. He drops Vlad down onto the mat and begins to throw punches into his jaw. Desperado gets pushed off to the side though and the men get up to their feet. Desperado hooks Vladimir's head and jumps onto the second rope, springboarding off and spinning around, slamming Vladimir onto the mat with a powerful bulldog.

Desperado grabs Vladimir's arm and locks it between his legs, then locks in the Lock of Desperation. He pulls Vladimir's head back, stretching the muscles through the neck as Vladimir grunts and groans at it. Vladimir tries to muscle out of it, but Desperado keeps it locked in tight, giving no budge.

JP: Vladimir's face being stretched as his head's yanked back there in a painful Lock of Desperation.

Desperado grunts and leans back more, stretching it more and more. Vladimir raises his hand as if to tap, but then uses his legs to push up and then rolls forward and get himself free from the hold.

TBCB Desperado

[Desperado]

Vladimir uses his strength and technique to dominate the match. Throwing Desperado all over the ring with a series of Clothelines and Knee attacks. Vladimir seems to be in total control. Vladimir continues to work on Desperado legs, this time locking in a Boston Crab. Desperado again fights to stay in the match. The strain is making his face turn pale. It seems like Desperado is about to tap. He lifts his hand as if to tap but instead uses it as support to unbalance Vladimir into releasing the lock.

Desperado helps himself out of the ring and leans on the railing between the fans and himself. He seems to be catching his breath as he is panting as if exhausted.

Vladimir getting bored of waiting for him also rolls out of the ring in an attempt to bring him back in and finish the match. He confronts Desperado with a punch to the head which is met by Desperado with a similar reply. Both men continue to land punch after punch until Desperado startles Vladimir with a standing clothesline.

Desperado takes Vladimir by the hair and rolls him back into the ring. Desperado lifts him up only to drop him down on the Tacks again with a quick snap suplex. He is quick to pick up Vladimir along from behind the waist and carry out a german suplex this time.

JP: "Vladimir is finding it quite difficult to match Desperado's speed and athleticism."
Ray: "Difficult? He is just having a little fun with the kid."

Desperado goes outside the ring to bring in a table. He places this is the centre of the ring and covers it many Thumb-tacks. He drags Vladimir on to it before climbing to the top of the nearby turnbuckle. He stands with his back to the table and goes for the 'BME'. The moonsault falls in free-flowing fashion only to have Vladimir move out of the way sending Desperado crashing through the table.

[Vladimir T. Strife]

Vladimir pulls Desperado up to his feet and shakes his head as if in shame. He tosses Desperado over the top rope and lets him lay outside the ring a moment. Vladimir heads out of the ring to work on Desperado more, but Desperado cracks him in the head with a kendo stick.

JP: Desperado pulled a kendo stick out from under the ring and gave Vlad a surprise there!
Ray:I'd like to give Vladimir a surprise!

Desperado scrambles to his feet and slams the kendo stick against Vlad's head with a loud THWACK!, making Vladimir turn and try to walk away as he holds a palm against his forehead. Desperado slides the kendo stick across the front of Vlad's throat and begins to choke him with it. Desperado jumps up and sticks his knees into Vladimir's back, falling backwards with a backcracker.

JP: Holy cow! Desperado almost decapitated Vladimir with that kendo stick!
Ray: It's called autoerotic asphyxiation!
JP: Yeah... I'm pretty sure that's not what they are doing.

Desperado gets up and picks Vladimir up, rolling him into the ring. He pulls Vladimir up to his feet and Vladimir throws a punch into his ribs. Desperado slams a knee into Vlad's head, almost knocking him back off his feet. He pulls Vladimir to the corner of the garbage can filled with gasoline and thumbtacks. He grints his teeth and slams Vladimir's face into them as hard as he can.

Vladimir pulls back almost immediately and drops to the mat in pain, rolling out of the ring. Vladimir claws at his face in agony as Desperado comes to the outside and throws him back in the ring. He follows in and kicks Vlad in the side of the head. Desperado then pulls Vlad up to his feet and headbutts him. Vladimir responds with a clothesline that floors Desperado.

JP: Vladimir is still fighting back despite the agony he must be in! Could you imagine having gasoline in your wounds?!
Ray: Nope, and I don't want to.

Vladimir grabs the can of thumbtacks and gasoline and dumps them out on the mat. He grabs Desperado and hooks a pedigree over them, driving his face and front down hard across the thumbtacks. Sharp tack points and gasoline punctures into Desperado's flesh, sending him reeling with pain.

TBCB Desperado

[Desperado]

Desperado is shaking in the ring with pain. The sharp stinging pain is something Desperado has never experienced before in his life.

Vladimir was also in pain from the wounds covered in gasoline. Both men were trying to recover in opposite corners of the ring, trying to stay on their feet. Vladimir was first to recover as he sent Desperado of his feet with a powerful clothesline.

JP: "Where does this guy generate so much power from, through all this pain and agony."
Ray: "I'm not sure where but it sure is entertaining, did you see how he almost took the life out of Desperado with just one clothesline"

Vladimir indicates a signal for the 'Pain-Killer'. He moves towards Desperado and attempts to lift, Desperado is quick and gives a low blow to Vladimir. Vladimir tries to withstand the pain but within seconds he on the floor holding his groins.

Desperado gets up and begins to stomp Vladimir ruthlessly. Vladimir receives boots to the head back and chest. Desperado lifts Strife to his knees, he runs from one side of the ring to the other, using the ropes to bounce of launching a 'Death Wave' that connects with Vladimir's head with full impact. Impact gained from using the ropes. Vladimir drops back on to the Tack covered mat of the ring.

Desperado climbs the nearest turnbuckle and connects with a top-rope elbow drop. Vladimir clutches his chest, he seems to be winded with the impact of that elbow drop. Desperado also seems to have hurt himself as he is clutching his elbow.

Desperado recovers after a little while but Vladimir is still not managing to find his balance. Desperado locks in a standing abdominal stretch. Vladimir however is quick to counter it, twisting himself out and kicking Desperado in the back of the knee to gain some breathing space. Vladimir irish whips Desperado and lifts hum onto his shoulder on the return nailing him with the Pain-Killer.

JP: "I think this might be it for the newcomer. Not many can take as much pain in their whole career as these two men have taken in this very match."
Ray: "I agree with you, Desperado sure has lasted very long, I didn't expect and I don't think Vladimir expected it either."

Vladimir takes Desperado's legs and locks in a Sharpshooter of his own. Desperado seems to have passed out.

The referee comes to Desperado's side. He lifts his hand to see it drop back to the floor.

He lifts it a second time and again the same result.

A grin falls across Vladimir's face as the referee lifts Desperado's hand for the final time. Desperado's lifeless hand looks likely to drop but stops about a centimeter from the mat. Desperado lifts his hand and starts shaking it. It seems like a rush of adrenalin has just been released in his body. Desperado fights back shaking his arms and legs. He lifts himself using his elbows and arms. He balances his weight with one arm whilst swiping Vladimir's leg with the other.

Desperado and Vladimir raise back up to their feet and Desperado rushes at him for a spear. Vladimir simply sidesteps him though and Desperado goes through their ropes down to the mats outside. Vladimir steps out onto the apron and waits as Desperado is getting up. He jumps down from the apron with his elbow aimed for Desperado's skull. Vlad is caught though and his lower back driven into the side of the ring instead. Vladimir sinks down to his knees, arching his back.

Desperado picks up the Kendo stick he was using before and slams it against Vladimir's head again, breaking it in half. He uses the sharp edges of the piece still in his head the dig at Vladimir's forehead, ripping the flesh and spilling blood down Vlad's grimaced face. Throwing the stick aside, Desperado holds Vladimir's chin back and slams his fist against the bloodied forehead, opening the wounds further.

JP: Desperado is targeting Vladimir's forehead and unleashing some hell. If he can keep at this pace, we could be seeing the end of Vladimir's winning streak!

Ray: Yeah, but why pay attention to that when he's got that butt.. and noone can take that away from him!

Desperado heads back into the ring and taunts the crowd, who begin to cheer him loudly. As he notices Vladimir getting back to his feet, he bounces off of the ropes and runs to the other, flipping over them and onto Vladimir. The 2 men crash to the ground and lay there breathless. Desperado finally gets up and lifts Vladimir up, rolling him into the ring.

Desperado climbs up onto the apron and grabs the top rope, launching himself over it. A splash attempt is ruined though as Vladimir lifts his knees up and lets Desperado land with his gut acrossed them. Desperado rolls around and clutches his stomach as Vladimir makes his way back to his feet.

JP: Vladimir with a quick and nice move there. He still had better not underestimate his opponent here tonight though or it could spell disaster.
Ray: D-i-s-a-s-t-e-r. Disaster. *JP smacks him on the back of the head*

Vladimir pulls Desperado up to his feet and hooks his arms as if for a pedigree. He then pulls up hard and flips Desperado so that he falls towards the mat, the small of his back dropping onto Vladimir's outstretched knee. Vladimir bounces off the ropes as Desperado lays on the mat holding his back with pain. Strife leaps up and brings a knee down across Desperado's forehead.

JP: And the tables are turned around yet again as Vladimir once again has seized control of this match. I wonder if he can keep hold of it. We'll find out after this commercial break!

TBCB Desperado

(Don't think anything of me saying the commercial break then, I just figured it was a good line to go between my post and your next one.)

[Desperado]

JP: "Welcome back guys. You haven't missed much, Vladimir still seems to be in control although Desperado is fighting back."
Ray: "You call that fighting, he's like a vicious animal, anymore of this and Vladimir might not be any more."

Back in the ring Desperado is on the mat, Vladimir is on top digging punches into Desperado's forehead. The crowd count with him,
"1, ... 2, ... 3, ... 4, ... 5, ... 6, ... 7, ... 8, ... 9, ... 10" The crowd stops counting but Vladimir continous to do as he was doing. Vladimir is tossed of by Desperado however Vladimir is up as Desperado still lays on the floor.

Vladimir take his time in lifting Desperado above his head. Standing there for a few seconds looking at the fans all standing staring in awe. Vladimir sticks his knew out and Desperado fall, back first. The sound of his back thudding on Vladimirs knee is covered by the, 'Oooooh' from the crowd.

Vladimir leaves Desperado who his clutching his spine in pain, rolling around arched on the floor. Vladimir has an evil look on his face as if planning something. He jumps down to where the commentators are sitting.


JP: "He seems to be coming to towards us."
Ray: "I think he has finally noticed me. What do you think?, ... JP?"
JP: "Holy God, he is taking a wire, what is he thinking off in his twisted mind. Someone stop him."

Vladimir pulls out a wire from all the technical stuff, sparks are flying from the tip as he takes it inside the ring. He has a large grin on his blood covered face. He attempts to electricute Desperado but the sparks stop as he takes the wire touches Desperado's bruised flesh.

He looks back to see JP with a pair of scissors in his hand. Vladimir stares in frustration and starts heading towards JP. He doesn't notice Desperado flip himself on to his feet as he is getting out of the ring. Vladimir clenches his fists as JP is backing off. Desperado baseball slides across the ring to knock Vladimir on to the anouncers table. He locks in a full nelson. Vladimir is struggling to break free. He falls to one knee, Desperado seems to be the dominant force.

Vladimir digs an elbow into Desperado's neck. Desperado still holds on to the lock only to release it a full nelson slam across the anouncers table. Vladimir crashes through the table.

((OOC: JP and Vlad are slightly friends, so Vlad wouldn't actually end up hitting him, just so ya know.))

Desperado looks around under the ring and pulls out a steel chair and holds it tightly, waiting for Vladimir to get up. He plants a hard shot across Vlad's back as he's trying to, knocking Vlad back to his knees. Vladimir reaches out with a quick backhand to the crotch.

Ray: Stop that! Not the babymaker!

Desperado drops the chair and backs off a little. Vladimir gets to his feet quickly though and grabs Desperado's head. He slings it back, throwing Desperado back hard into the ring. Desperado ducks a punch and grabs Vladimir's arm, then whips him shoulder-first into the turnpost. Vladimir starts to stir after a second and starts pulling himself off of the turnpost, only to have Desperado run into him and shove him back into the turnpost even harder.

JP: Desperado has been relentless on Vladimir. That's the key to victory, keep them down and don't let them up.
Ray: No, it's looking good, JP. Haven't you ever seen a movie, the hero is always cute!

Desperado gets an idea and heads back into the ring. As Vladimir pulls himself off the turnpost again, he's hit with a baseball slide to the shoulder that floors him. Vladimir clutches at his shoulder, the pain leaving it feeling like it's caught in a beartrap. Desperado rolls out of the ring and begins to stomp on the shoulder, weakening it more.

JP: And here's what I meant about picking your spots, Ray. Watch as Desperado focuses in on that hurt shoulder of Vladimir's.
Ray: It's sexy. You watch as Vladimir's tush bounces just slightly each time Desperado kicks him.
JP: WHAT is WRONG with you!?

Desperado picks Vladimir up and grabs his head. Vladimir pushes him off though and irish whips him towards the guardrail, only to be reversed. Vlad hits the rail hard and flips over the top of it, the audience moving out of his way and a few patting him on the shoulder, taking their chance to touch one of the stars. Desperado sets up a chair 3 feet from the guardrail and stands over by the ring, preparing for something.

Vladimir makes his way to his feet, stumbling about a bit. As he is turning around towards the ring, Desperado takes a run towards him. He jumps onto the chair and uses it to launch himself through the air and over the guardrail. Vladimir catches him and uses his momentum against him in a 360 spinning side slam. Desperado slams onto the metal seats where the audience had been sitting only moments before.

JP: OH MY GOD! Desperado just got slammed halfway to hell right on those metal chairs!
Ray: I hope he's ok..
JP: Of course he is, Desperado's already proven he's tough. He wouldn't have come to GHW if he wasn't!

(OOC: Sorry, didn't really know JP and Vlad get along, haven't been here long you see. Thanx for letting me know.)

The camera moves along to where Vladimir is towering over the injured Desperado. However Desperado is showing signs of movement which brings an expression of anger across Vladimir's face who is now seeming a little annoyed at the endurance and willpower shown by Desperado.

Vladimir stands himself on the chair and lifts Desperado on to it with him. Desperado tries fighting back with a few hooks and pulls but they all go wide. Vladimir kicks Desperado in the mid-section before putting his head in between his legs. He lifts Desperado from around the waist into a powerbomb position. Desperado now aware of the potential of this move starts to throw punches on Vladimirs face. Using the power in his muscular legs, he throws Vladimir off his feet with a hurricarana.

Both men are lifeless on the chairs as the crowd is at the edge of their seats.

JP: "These men have given it all they have tonight and are not willing to be the ones walking back without the victory."
Ray: "Vladimir is most definately going to be the one victorious, that's what the capital 'V' in his name stands for. Vladimir the Victorious. Has a nice ring to it. Besides I think Desperado should call it a day, I mean he wouldn't want his first fight to be his last."
JP: "I agree but if he feels he can carry on then he should might as well push Vladimir to the limit."
Ray: "Well he has proved he is one hell of a Fighty fighty person, I believe he will make it big in GHW. Whoever can manage to get back to his feet from such pain will must obvioously be a somebody to look out for."

Both men make it back to their feet at the same time. Desperado climbs over the rails and slides into the ring. Vladimir is right behind him. As Vladimir enters the ring behind Desperado he takes the wire he was carrying before, wraps it around his hands and begins to choke Desperado with it. Desperado is taken by surprise.

JP: "He is using the same wire he was about to electricute Desperado with."
Ray: "Is he allowed to do that, I mean using a wire to stangle someone to submit."

Desperado is hanging for dear life, trying to pull Vladimir's hands of the wire. Desperado falls to his knees as the oxygen supply to his body is beggining to get cut off. As a last gap effort, Desperado picks a Tack from the floor and sticks it deep into Vladimir's calf muscle. Vladimir lets out a cry, as blood trickles down his leg.

Vladimir lets go of the wire and slams his knee into the back of Desperado's skull. Desperado crouches forward, holding the back of his head and rubbing at the pain in it. Meanwhile, Vladimir rolls out of the ring and starts to search under the ring. He pulls out some light tubes and slides them into the ring. Vladimir looks left and then right before then pulling out a cup of salt and some duct tape.

JP: Did you ever notice that everything seems to get stored under the ring? I mean, why in the hell do they leave chairs, ladders, tables, cheese graters, salt, light tubes, lighter fluids, sledgehammers, lead pipes, and even barbed wire baseball bats under there?

Vladimir pulls the metal end off of a light tube after a little effort and pours the cup of salt down into the tube. He pushes it back over the top and then duct tapes it. He smiles and climbs into the ring, measuring up Desperado. Vladimir swings hard as Desperado gets up, but Desperado moves out of the way, then pulls it out of Vlad's hands. HE smashes the tube against Vladimir's head and drops him to the mat, screaming in pain.

Desperado takes up 2 more lighttubes and slams the first across Vladimir's back. Vladimir rolls over in pain and receives the second one to the chest. Desperado bounces off the ropes and comes back with a big legdrop that misses as Vladimir rolls out of the way. Vladimir punches Desperado and is then irish whipped into the corner, jumping over a garbage can on the way. Desperado follows in with a splash, but Vladimir grabs Desperado and spinebuster slams him onto the garbage can, collapsing it.

JP: Vladimir turning things around once again. This has been such a back and forth match, each man keeps turning the tables on their opponent.
Ray: I like seeing men go back and forth... back and forth... ba- OW! Stop smacking me!

Vladimir undoes the strings keeping the top turnbuckle pad on and pulls it off, tossing it aside. He pulls Desperado to his feet and Irish whips him into the exposed metal, then kicks him in the guy. Vladimir tucks Desperado's head between his thighs and then pulls him up and powerbombs him into the corner, slamming the back of Desperado's head into the exposed turnbuckle steel. Desperado falls hard to the mat and Vladimir picks him up in a fireman's carry.

Vladimir carries Desperado to the middle of the ring and then throws his legs into the air, flipping him forward. Vladimir sticks his knee out and the back of Desperado's head crashes onto it. Vladimir drops down and hooks Desperado's leg, looking for the pin. The referee explains to Vladimir that pinfalls don't count, only submission and knockouts.

JP: I can't believe Vladimir did something foolish like that... he must feel pretty embarrassed.
Ray: Yes... that is, if by 'embarrassed', you meant 'pissed off at the ref'...

Vladimir grabs the referee and slams his head into the turnpost metal, then throws him over the top rope to the floor.
