Rhaps vs Hawkeye - Trifecta Match

[Rhaps]

JP: Hello to everyone who has just tuned into Blood Runs Cold and we wish all of our fans a Merry Christmas wherever you may be today. Tonight however we can forget good will to all men as the superstars of GHW take each other to the limits in some of the most innovative matches ever seen in a GHW arena. And up next is a match up never seen before, the Trifecta match between the two reigning World Champions on each brand. We can expect a lot of brutality and athletic ability to be seen here tonight.

Ray: Enough about that now Jimmy. Now the obligatory season's greeting are out of the way we now get to watch some beautiful hardcore action tonight. And more importantly, the second electric pool match will be held tonight to crown a new hardcore champion. And more excitingly, Vlad will come back and beat the new champion down to regain it. The future's looking good Jimmy, sooooo damn good.

As Ray finishes his rant Ride the the Lightning by Metallica blasts through the speakers and the fans begin stand up in an ovation as they clap loudly, applauding the entrance of the reigning Charging Glory Champion. Over the ring the three cages are held high over the ring, glinting ominously in the arena lights while weapons lay strewn across the entire expanse of the ring. Outside of this there are four sixteen foot ladders placed on onse side outside the ring. Many in the audience turn their gaze towards the monstrous structure. The revving of a motorbike can be heard over the din of Rhaps' entrance music while tall columns of flame flare up every few seconds, matching the thundering of the guitar. Before the Safety Ranger has appeared Lizzie raises the microphone to her mouth an begins to speak.

Lizzie: Now it is time for the non-title champion vs champion Trifecta match. The match ends when one competitor successfully climbs over each of the three cells to the outside and when both feet hit the ground first on the outside of the whole structure. The first cage is ten feet tall and is full of weapons. The second cage if fifteen feet tall and has a foot of barbed wire around the entire expanse of the second cage. There are four sixteen foot ladders in this layer. The third cage is twenty feet tall and has an electric current passed through it for thrity second every five minutes.

The fans grimace upon hearing this while the columns of fire continue to lick upwards while Rhaps' entrance music thunders its way forwards while the Safety Ranger still hasn't made an appearance yet. Many in the audience beging to get a bit restless as time drags on without Rhaps making his way to the ring from backstage. Suddenly, Rhaps' Harley Davidson rockets forwards and the Safety Ranger is riding it to the Trifecta triumphantly, holding his left hand in the air in homage to the fans while steering with his free hand. The crowd explodes in reaction upon seeing the Ice Cream Eater. He is wearing the same faded leather jacket with a printed T-shirt with 'Trifecta' and the date written on the front. Along with this he is wearing heavy cargo trousers and thick-set biker boots.

Lizzie: Making his way to the ring, hailing from Canterbury, England and weighing in at 223 lbs. He is the reigning Charging Glory Champion and the self-proclaimed Safety Ranger of GHW. Rhaps.

Rhaps rides the motorbike down to the ring and he kicks the bike support out easily before killing the engine of the bike. He steps off of it and he retrieves the Charging Glory title from the back of the bike before holding it over his head in celebration. Rhaps hands the belt to one of the referees stationed outside of the Trifecta. Before the Safety Ranger enters the ring he removes the leather jacket. He balls it up before throwing it out into the audience, creating a minor disturbance among the fans as they fight over it. Rhaps eventually removes the T-shirt and he hands it to a fan in the front row. Rhaps smiles as he looks at the audience throughout the entire arena before rolling into the ring underneath the bottom rope. He walks around the ring looking at the various weapons assembled while his entrance music dies down while the audience await the arrival of Hawkeye, the New Age Champion.

TBCB Hawkeye.

[Hayabusa]

JP:Hawkeye is going into this match following a loss to Fuerza which is rare when Hawkeye losses. I might have to agree with the comments of Devin and Darrell and think that with what is going on has got to be effecting Hawkeye causing him to not be able to concentrate fully.

Ray:I don't know JP, I haven't really seen Hawkeye much here lately but with those strange events that have been going on here recently. I am not to sure what we are going to see. I do know that I can not wait to see my sexy Hawkeye make his way down here and into the ring to fight Rhaps.

JP:It should be one hell of a match between these two and it should be one for the ages.

Lizzie:And his opponent making his way to the ring weighing in at 175 lbs! From Detroit Michigan he is the reigning New Age Champion, The Flying Assassin Hawkeyeeeeeeeee!

The lights begin to dim in the arena as suddenly a bell is heard ringing throughout the arena as the music for a funeral begins to play over the loud speakers causing everyone to wonder what is going on The bell continues to toll as the titon tron begins to light up and shows a scene of people dressed in black surrounding a coffin. A male voice can be over heard and it appears that he is giving a message of some sort. The scene ends showing the people leaving allowing for full view of a coffin that is etched with Hawkeyes mask. The scene begins to slowly fade out as the coffin is lowered into the ground and dirt is tossed over it.

Ray:My god that scared the bajeebers out of me JP. Its so damn I don't know if I have words for it.

JP:Yeah it does grab you by surprise if you not ready for it. But it is so true of Hawkeye's character and the events he has gone through and or put others through over the last few months.

The arena lights slowly return back to normal as the screen is once again black. The crowd begin to murmur and chatter amongst themselves in anticipation when once again the lights begin to slowly go out as the titan tron once again lights up but this time it shows an image of a man in a ring. The camera slowly pans to the man who is standing in the corner facing away from the crowd the microphone appears to pick up muffled sounds as if the man is crying. The camera pans back as you begin to see lettering outlining the screen. Hard to make out first but slowly coming into view. The first words to show are A man of honor is now disgraced. The scene fades out leaving those words up on the screen.

JP:You know that there is also true as well but you know I think Hawkeye has become a better person for it in the end.

Ray:I don't know JP, I mean lately he has been being all nice and showing sportsmanship and...and...being all yucky, though he is still my sexy Hawkeye that is one thing that will never change.

The arena lights darken as bolts of lighting show on the titontron. When they hit the ground it tosses up chunks of dirt and grass. A harmonic symphonic tune begins to lightly play throughout the arena as the bolts of lighting continue to show on the titontron picking up there pace and hitting harder and faster. The harmonic symphonic tone begins to get louder as the crowd is hushed waiting for Hawkeye to come out. The Harmonic Symphonic tune stops as Hawkeye in a long black gothic trench coat and shoulder length blue highlighted hair steps out onto the stage sending the crowd erupting into cheers.

JP:I can't tell who is more liked here tonight in this match it seemed that Rhaps got just as big of a reaction as Hawkeye is right now. Wow I think both could have blown the roof off the house.

Ray:Whaaat? I can't hear you JP speak up. The crowd is really really loud.

The stage erupts in flames as Hawkeye stands on the stage Memento Mori by Kamelot begins to play across the sound system. Hawkeye walks slowly down the rampway as the first chorus ends the flames riding along on either side of him as he makes his way down the rampway. The fans near the rampway can not reach out to touch Hawkeye for fear of getting burned. Hawkeye gets to the bottom of the rampway turning around to face the titon tron which has gone black as Lighting hits it's sending showers of sparks flying around and causing people to jump in there seats. Hawkeye turns his attention to the ring and jumps on the apron before grabbing the top rope and flipping over them into the ring landing on his feet as graceful as a cat. Hawkeye stands in the center of the ring as his opponent is on the outside waiting as Hawkeye climbs the turnbuckles and makes the P for perfection with his hands that sends the crowd erupting into cheers before he unstraps the belt and holds it up high in the air. Hawkeye then jumps down hands the belt to the ref removing his robes he turns and waits for Rhaps to reenter the ring and motions for Rhaps to stand in the center with him. Rhaps makes his way to the center and both Fighty fighty persons shake hands before the ref signals for the bell. As the bell rings both Fighty fighty persons back away from each other before circling around the first ring. They both lock up and jocky for position.

[Rhaps]

While both men lock up the second and third layers of the Trifecta are lowered into place with the appropriate weapons and design features being hastily installed. Meanwhile, in the ring both World Champions heave their weight against each other as the lock up quickly turns into a test of strength. Hawkeye's size becomes a disadvantage to him quickly as Rhaps utilises his weight and height advantage to good effect. Gradually, Hawkeye slips backwards as Rhaps heaves against him with ever increasing force. The New Age Champion lets go of the lock up abruptly and he spins out of Rhaps' grasp, instantly creating some distance between both men. Rhaps turns to face his opponent just as the Flying Assassin charges in to attack the Ice Cream Eater under a frenzy of left and rights. The punches come thick and fast and Rhaps' knee buckles slightly as a flurry of blows rain down from Hawkeye as he senses blood in the water before going in for the kill.

The Flying Assassin kicks a swift boot out, catching Rhaps just above the ankle, levelling the Charging Glory Champion in short order. Before Rhaps has a chance to react, Hawkeye suddenly flings his body into the air and Rhaps brings his knees up in lightning speed. Hawkeye flips and smashes on top of the Safety Ranger in a standing moonsault, his chest smashing into Rhaps' upturned knees. Pain spreads across the top of Hawkeye's body and he rolls to the side, squirming around in pain on the canvas while the crowd look on, applauding Hawkeye's athleticism and Rhaps' counter. The audience seem torn between both superstars as a mixture of chants and shouts can be heard in adoration and support of both men. Rhaps grips onto the bottom rope and he heaves against it, bringing himself to a standing position.

JP: It seems to be a fairly even contest thus far between these superstars. But rest assured, when you get two competitors of this calibre surrounded by weapons in one of the deadliest structures ever imagined you know it won't be too long before one of them is used to cause some serious damage.

Ray: I can only hope so Jimmy. That'd make this match slightly more enjoyable if I get to see Rhaps strewn on the mat in his own blood while Hawkeye wields an ice pick before gouging more and more out of his flesh.

JP: You've been thinking about this quite a lot haven't you?

Ray: It'd be a lie if I said no.

Rhaps crosses the canvas to where his opponent is and he drops to take hold of him by the head. Suddenly Hawkeye pushes Rhaps off and he stands up instantly, bringing his arm sharply as his fist smashes into Rhaps' chin, sending him reeling across the ring. The Safety Ranger drops like a stone as he catches hold of the ring ropes and he leans against them, pain throbbing in his lower jaw while his eyes water, blurring his vision. Hawkeye moves over to him to follow up on his attack but Rhaps shunts his elbow out, driving it solidly into Hawkeye's face, stopping his momentum instantly. Before Hawkeye can react to anything else Rhaps charges in at him, his arm outstretched, thundering into him with a tremendous clothesline. Hawkeye's body flips in mid air before slamming into the canvas with incredible force.

Hawkeye shows amazing resilience as he rolls his body to one side, making it back to his feet in relatively short time. Rhaps turns his body as he jumps into the air, raising his foot. Hawkeye doesn't have time to react and Rhaps' foot smashes into his face with terrific force, making him spill to the mat from the spinning enzuiguri. Rhaps' fans jump to their feet and they begin to cheer audibly for their hero, bathing the entire arena in a vast tumult of noise. Rhaps smiles to himself as he looks around the arena once more while Hawkeye holds onto his face, squirming in pain on the canvas. The Safety Ranger immediately seizes the advantage and he races to the side of the cage wall before launching himself at the ropes. He lands on it almost perfectly, using the cage wall to balance himself before scrabbling his way to the top of the cage.

Hawkeye reacts to this instantly and he gives chase after the Safety Ranger, following him to the ropes before he too begins to make the arduous climb to the top of the cage. Just as Rhaps manages to place his left foot on the top of the first cage, Hawkeye's hand reaches out desperately, catching hold of Rhaps' right foot. Rhaps begins to thrash his foot wildly in an attempt to break Hawkeye's grip. At first nothing happens but after a while Hawkeye's grip slips and he slides down the side of the cage slightly before managing to catch hold of the steel, preventing him from falling any further. Hawkeye's face shows a mask of determination as he races up the side of the steel structure, in hot pursuit of his prey. The Safety Ranger manages to reach a vertical base, hovering dangerously on the lip of the cage ten feet over the concrete hovering dangerously below him. Suddenly Hawkeye reaches up, catching hold of his opponent by his leg. Before anything else can happen, the Flying Assassin pulls back suddenly, making Rhaps loses his footing on top of the steel cage.

He wobbles dangerously for a moment, hovering over the ground ominously before the New Age Champion heaves back once more. Instantly, Rhaps loses his balance and his legs split apart. He crashes onto lip of the cage, one leg either side and he gives a brief howl of agony. Even some members of the audience grimace at the sight of this. Hawkeye scrabbles up the remainder of the cage before he too stands on it, looking out into the crowd before his gaze shifts to the ground and the second layer of the Trifecta. He gives a brief wave in Rhaps' direction before starting the climb down to the ground. After a couple of seconds, Hawkeye abruptly halts his progress and a smile breaks out across his face as he suddenly gets an idea.

Ray: What is Hawkeye doing now? Why doesn't he just go for the win? I would like to see him hurt Rhaps of course but I'd prefer to see the Flying Assassin move on into the second and third layers and beating that damned awful Ice Cream Eater. Go you sexy beast!

JP: Whatever Ray. It looks as if Hawkeye might try to DDT Rhaps off of the top of that cage into the ring. If he hits it then it might well mean game set and match for the New Age Champion. Wait a minute.

The fans hold their breath as Rhaps suddenly counters the Flying Assassin. He drops, grabbing the smaller man before hoisting him bodily over his shoulders. The fans stand up instantly and the 'holy shit' chant is heard audibly as Rhaps suddenly throws his weight backwards and both men go crashing backwards back into the ring. Both men smash into the mat with incredible velocity and they thrash their limbs in agony from the huge overhead body slam counter by the Charging Glory Champion. Rhaps begins to stir first having taken less damage than his opponent. Despite this it still takes him a while to reach a vertical base. As the Safety Ranger makes it to his feet Hawkeye is struggling his way to his feet also while Rhaps staggers around the ring, almost blindly as sweat rolls off of his chest and back from the sheer amount of exertion. Rhaps waits for Hawkeye to get to his feet but he gets impatient after a few mere seconds. He drops to one knee, taking hold of his opponent by the head before dragging him up to his feet so he can inflict further damage.

Abruptly, Hawkeye suddenly snaps awake and he thrashes against Rhaps' grip, pushing him back quickly. He tries to get back into the match but Rhaps raises his arm before bringing a huge right hand crashing down across his temple, dropping him to his knees with one stiff shot. Hawkeye's fans begin shouting wildly at him, urging him on. Rhaps picks up the Flying Assassin once more, his guard down. Hawkeye suddenly thrashes his arms out, connecting with a stiff left hand to Rhaps' gut, winding him. He holds onto his stomach as he takes a step back, clearly not expecting the quick counter by the New Age Champion. Hawkeye closes the distance between both men quickly, not allowing Rhaps the chance to get back into the match. He raises his right arm into the air before slapping his forearm across the chest of the Safety Ranger with a stinging knife edge chop. The familiar 'woo' runs through the audience in response to this as Hawkeye continues to press the advantage. Rhaps punches into the air wildly, Hawkeye ducking underneath the attempted right hand shot easily before closing the distance once more, the slapping noise emitting audibly as his arm crashes down across Rhaps' chest for the second time, causing an ugly red welt to appear.

Rhaps staggers backwards from the force of the chop as Hawkeye quickly works himself up into a frenzy. Suddenly he explodes forwards, his arms flying in a flurry as left and right hand shots rain down onto Rhaps' chest. Rhaps barely has time to react as he is rocketed by the sudden onslaught by the New Age Champion. Rhaps drops to one knee under the frenzy of punches, trying desperately to cover up and block the sudden swift change in momentum. As quickly as it started is it halted as Rhaps raises his arm, blocking yet another attempted right hand. Hawkeye's eyes bulge in his head as Rhaps bursts forwards with terrific speed, taking the Assassin down to the canvas with a sudden clothesline. Hawkeye staggers to his feet almost instantly and he turns to face his opponent once more. Rhaps however is one step ahead and he lunges at his opponent, slamming into him straight down the middle. Hawkeye's back lands with a dull thud, his head lolling to one side from the impact from the huge Safety Spear. Rhaps' fans reach fever pitch as they stand cheering on their hero audibly as the momentum shifts once more to his favour. Hawkeye rolls to the edge of the ring near the ropes where numerous weapons are laid uselessly.

JP: It looks as if Rhaps has this match well and truly in hand. Every time Hawkeye tries to mount some offense Rhaps seems to have the answer. He's definitely going to have to try something new if he hopes to get a significant advantage in this match for any length of time.

Ray: He might just do that Jimmy. Look, Hawkeye has picked up a hammer and here he comes. Watch out Rhaps.

Rhaps' search for a weapon is halted instantly as Hawkeye thunders in from behind, raising the hammer high over his head. The steel is brought down sharply, smashing into Rhaps' back with incredible force, dropping the Charging Glory Champion to his knees. Rhaps drops to all fours screaming in agony as his back already begins to break out into an ugly bruise. Hawkeye adjusts his position before bringing the hammer down again, the head of it smashing into the back of the Safety Ranger's skull. Rhaps lands with a dull thud, his body contorted into a strange and ugly position as he lies unmoving on the canvas, his eyes firmly shut. Blood begins to seep from a deep gash on the back of his head from the vicious hammer shot. It begins to pool to one side of Rhaps' head while he still hasn't reacted to the attack. Hawkeye looks over his fallen opponent smugly before dropping the dangerous weapon beside his downed opponent. He makes his way over to the cage wall to begin the arduous ascent of the first cage.

Ray: That's it Hawkeye. Look at him Jimmy, he's out cold and Hawkeye has won this match for sure. Can you believe that today has become such a wonderful day for me Jimmy? I'll sleep well tonight.

JP: Whatever gets you through the night Ray. But that hammer shot has laid Rhaps out and it looks potentially career ending. Rhaps still hasn't moved from the assault and Hawkeye is already over half way up to the top of the first cage and if Rhaps doesn't get up soon then he has well and truly lost this match to the Flying Assassin.

TBCB Hawkeye.

(ooc:sorry I have not posted but ran into money problems and lost my internet. Am at one of the terminals that has internet so I won't be posting again till probably thursday)

Hawkeye slowly climbs up the cage checking to see if Rhaps is moving. Satisifed Hawkeye continues to climb up the cage stopping he looks down. Hawkeye uses the cage and springs off the cage rotating his body two full rotations before landing on top of Rhaps with a splash the impact causes Hawkeye to bounce up into the air and land on his back grabbing his stomach as he doubles over. The crowd lets a huge holy shit chant echo throughout the arena. Hawkeye continues to hold his stomach as he is rolled into a ball feeling the pain that is coursing through his body. Rhaps has reached deep inside as the chants are split between Rhaps and Hawkeye and has made it to his feet. Rhaps looks over and seeing a chair makes his way over and picks it up holding it up. The safety ranger makes his way back over to Hawkeye and stomps on him with his boots several times to keep him down. Rhaps then takes the chair and sets it on the right ankle. Rhaps then picks up the same sledge hammer as he feels the warm sticky blood running down his face. Rhaps lifts the hammer up over his head and brings it down hitting the chair sending a thud sound echoing throughout the arena as Hawkeye screams in pain. The crowd looks on as the Safety Ranger again lifts the hammer up in the air over his head before bringing it down again on the steel chair sending an echo throughout the arena as the crowd winches from the shot and Hawkeye screams again in pain. Rhaps looks down and drops the hammer as he makes his way to the cage and using the ropes to help him climbs up the ropes and then begins the climb up the cage the going is slow though as Rhaps feels the blood continue to trickle down his face.

JP:Well I think that is going to do it. It looks like Rhaps will make it to the second cage as he has just took out the ankle of Hawkeye. That has several advantages as it prevents Hawkeye from being able to perform his high flying moves.

Ray:How can he be called the Safety Ranger when he just got dangerous and could have broken Hawkeye's ankle with those hammer shots to the chair!

Rhaps climbs up and looks down and sees that Hawkeye has made to his feet but is limping trying not to put any weight on the injuried ankle. Rhaps struggles to climb faster and make it to the second stage in the match. Hawkeye has made it and has trouble climbing up the cage as his injuried leg can not take the pressure. Rhaps makes it to the top and attempts to step over only to find himself stuck. Hawkeye struggles and using his upper body pulls himself up the cage closing the gap ever so slowly on Rhaps who continues to try and get over but can not because of being stuck. The Safety Ranger looks around and finds that his pants have gotten stuck on the cage. Not wanting to rip the pant leg Rhaps trys to work his leg free but is not having much luck. Hawkeye after much effort has made it almost within reach of Rhaps. Rhaps seeing Hawkeye almost on top of him struggles even faster and a rip sound is heard causing Rhaps to stop. Rhaps looks and sees a small rip in his pants and again works on trying to free himself without making the rip bigger. Hawkeye puts his legs on the cage and feels the pain in his ankle as he gets within arms reach of Rhaps who seeing this tries and lays some fists into Hawkeye which causes Hawkeye to waver and lean back almost falling off the cage Rhaps hurridly again tries to free himself.

Hawkeye steadies himself and blocking out the pain pushes up and out surprising everyone including Rhaps as he locks in a three quarter face lock pulling Rhaps off the cage ripping his pants as he hits a diamond cutter from off the top of the cage sending the crowd again into a loud roof blowing Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit! The crowd continues to chant as both Fighty fighty persons lay on the mat Rhaps is seen twitching and shaking as he lays on his stomach. Hawkeye disorientated rolls Rhaps over and covers him for the pin. Hawkeye after a while slaps the mat wanting the ref to count. The refs yell into the cage that there are no pins and he needs to climb out of another cage. Hawkeye continues to slap the mat wanting to end the match. Hawkeye stands up and almost falls to the ground as his ankle gives out on him. Hawkeye makes it back to his feet and with effort bends down picking up Rhaps and walks with even more effort to the turnbuckles leaning him into them. Hawkeye punches Rhaps and then struggles to put Rhaps and sit him on the top turnbuckles.

Hawkeye then climbs the turnbuckles before jumping up wrapping his legs around Rhaps head and pulling him off the turnbuckle to the mat with a Frankenstiner. Hawkeye stands up but falls to the ground just as quickly as his ankle gives out Hawkeye is seen grabbing it and holding it.
