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

All 5 superstars are in the ring. They look at each other and around the cage walls wrapped with barbed wire, making it harder to climb them and even more painful to hit them. There are few trash cans in the corners of the ring, filled with all kinds of weapons and random items. The celling of the cage slowly lowers down, locking all Fighty fighty persons inside for the next 10 minutes. Few moments later, the bell rings...

JP: Cage three looks to be the real bloodbath of the match!

Ray: Maybe that sadistic bastard, Gnarfflinger the Butcher will get what he deserves with Matt Olivera and Rurouni in there...

JP: And the first Pay Per View appearance for Reeves, I sure don't envy him.

Ray: And let's not forget that cutie Desperado!

The 5 look at each other to find a weakness, then you hear:

GtB: Hey! New Guy! Welcome to Hell!

With that, the Butcher moves in aiming a Frying Pan strike to the head of Reeves. Reeves ducks, but the veteran anticipates this and drives a knee into the jaw of the newcomer. Reeves staggers back and takes the pan to the face.

Meanwhile, Matt charged Rurouni, who met him with the handle of the hand sickle to the midsection. Rurouni then wraps the chain around the throat of the Hardcore Genius, but Matt counters with an elbow to the groin.

Desperado sees the two pairings and takes the opportunity with a cheap savate kick to the Jaw of the Butcher. Gnarfflinger falls to the canvas. Desperado moves in to go for a leg, but before he can get the ankle lock, Reeves recovers with a cheap shot of his own to the ribs. The two roll on the ground trading punches.

The Butcher looks over to see Matt driving forearms into the back of Rurouni when he decides to move in. He dropkicks his frying pan into the head of his countryman, sending him flying into the barbed wire cage wall! Matt cursed as he hits the barbed wire.

Rurouni goes for the Sickle, but as he swings it at the Butcher, it is blocked with the Frying pan. The Butcher goes for a kick to the groin, but there is no secret in the Butcher's tactics as Rurouni kicks the support knee out from under the Butcher. Rorouni takes the sickle towards the head of the Butcher, but Matt kicks Roruni in the back of the head, sending him face down on the Butcher. Matt Climgs the second rope with a chair and delivers a diving Elbow driving the chair into the back of Rurouni, the added weight also crushing down on the Btucher under the pile...

TBC: Anyone in the cage...

[Kamikaze]

Both the Butcher and Rurouni seem to be hurt Butcher has the worst of it. Reeves and Desperado are still trading punches when Reeves bends his fingers in his right hands and rake his eyes. Desperado falls back holding his eyes. Reeves then gets up and turns around only to have Matt smack him in the face with the steel chair. The force of the blow knocks Reeves back into the cage cutting it causing blood to drip down his back. Reeves falls to the ground and Matt reaches down with his left hand pulling Reeves head up then slips the chair under his head. Matt then puts he trash can on top of Reeves head and makes his way to the top of the turnbuckle. Meanwhile Rurouni and Butcher rise to their feet. Rurouni balls his fist left fist and strikes Butcher in the right cheek Butcher stumbles back and Rurouni strikes Butcher two more times before he takes a step back and charges Butcher. The Butcher leaps in the air and sticks his arm out connecting with a jumping clothesline. Rurouni’s head bounces off of the canvas.

Matt is now on the top rope and he is about to jump off at Reeves but Desperado now on his feet balls his left fist and strikes Matt in the jaw. Matt holds his jaw groggy. Desperado climbs up onto the top rope and puts Matt in a front face lock then flings Matt’s arm over his back then lifts him high into the air and falls back slamming Matt onto Reeves with a superplex. All three men lie there Reeves is holding his abdomen, Desperado and Matt are holding their backs. [/color]

That was a perfect superplex, [/color][/center]

The Butcher reaches down and grabs Rurouni by the head and pulls him up then puts him into a front face lock. Butcher is about to go for a DDT but Rurouni wraps his arms around The Butcher’s waist then flips him back first onto the mat with a northern lights suplex. The Butcher is holding his back and Rurouni slowly gets to his feet only to have Desperado leap in the air and lean back dropkicking him into the barbed wire. The barbed wire rips into Rurouni’s back tearing his flesh. Rurouni falls to the canvas as his blood flows from his back.

.::Ray White::.

[/u][/i]
Oh my gosh look at the blood, ew. It makes my stomach churn. [/color]

.::]Jimmy Pate::[/u][/i]
Be a man! [/color][/center]

Desperado lifts his foot and slams it down onto Rurouni’s back where it is bleeding. Rurouni screams in pain. Desperado does it again making Rurouni scream louder. Matt comes to the rescue and grabs Desperado by the back of his tights and the tops of his hair then tosses him into the right turnbuckle on the announcer’s side. Desperado’s left arm bounces off the turnbuckle and scarcely gets scratched by the barbed wire. Desperado holds his left arm then Matt walks over and lifts his right foot kicking him in the left arm. Meanwhile Reeves is now back to his feet and he notices butcher is stumbling around. Reeves runs up from behind and spears the right back leg of the Butcher knocking him onto the canvas. Reeves then locks Butcher’s right leg under his left arm pit then balls his right fist and punches the leg once, twice and three times before Rurouni runs up and jumps un the air flipping over Reeves grabbing the back of his neck driving it into the canvas with a neck breaker. Reeves head bounces off the canvas. Rurouni scurries back to his feet and notice the Butcher is slowly rising up. Rurouni runs up to him and jumps in the air then slams his right foot against the side of Butcher's head. Matt stops kicking Desperado and reaches out his right hand grabbing Desperado's right hand then pulls Desperado towards him and he sides steps sending Desperado into the opposite turnbuckle. Matt then charges Desperado going for a turnbuckle clothesline but Desperado lifts up his right foot and matt runs right into it. Matt stumbles back holding his jaw and Desperado pulls himself onto the second rope then jumps off sticking his arm out nearly taking Matt's head off with a flying clothesline. Rurouni grabs Reeves by the hair and pulls him up then he slams Reeves face right into the barbed wire cracking it open.

This is just disgusting! [/color][/center]

Rurouni grabs Reeves right hand with his own then he goes to Irish whip him towards the ropes but Reeves reverses it sending Rurouni into the barbed wire. Rurouni puts his arms up just in time to protect his face. He then turns around only to have Reeves shove his shoulder into Rurouni’s gut and grabs his hamstrings then lifts him in the air and slams him back first into the barbed wire with a spine buster. The crowd can not believe this. Reeves turns around and the Butcher smashes the garbage can right over his head. Reeves stumbles around the ring after that head shot. The Butcher ever the opportunist leans back lifting his right foot slamming it right into Reeves chin with a super kick. Reeves falls back tripping over Desperado who was getting up and both men fall to the ground. Matt now on his feet charges the Butcher and leaps in the air leaning back dropkicking the garbage can into the Butcher’s face. Butcher falls back into the left corner on the announcer’s side in a sitting position. Rurouni balls his right fist and nails Matt in the back off the head. Matt stumbles to the center of the ring and Rurouni runs at him slamming his shoulder into Matt’s gut then balls his right fist and starts wailing at Matt’s face. Reeves runs up and tackles Rurouni off of Matt then balls his fist and starts punching him in the face as well. Desperado lines Matt up waiting for him to get in the right position. Matt is on his hands and knees then Desperado charges him lifting his right foot kicking Matt in the head. As soon as the foot connects all at once the arena goes silent except for the Fighty fighty persons in the ring still beating the hell out of each other. Matt lies there with blood pouring from his nose as Desperado stares down at Matt. The Butcher sees this and rises out of the corner. He staggers over to Desperado and both men stare each other down.

TBC: Anyone in the match

(I did not want to over due my post so early in the match.)

[Matt Oliveira]

Oliveira opens his eyes as he lies on the canvas, lieing in the corner, his face turned towards the four men he shares his cage with. It's been said before, many, many, many times of how he pulled through last year, how he beat the odds. He tries to inhale, blood clogging one of his nostrils from the injury suffered from the boot to the face just previously. He raises his head, haunching up on his forearms and elbows, looking out before him to the overturned trash can with the various implements of destruction. He glances at it, for some sort of sign, some sort of object that made him brilliant like the last time. Wood glue to make a thumbtack chair, or extra wire for a barbed wire bat. Anything, anything at all. Yet, this time, he sees something much different than wire or glue, but...with those long red handles said the one answer the Genius had never recieved. One thing that he never could've thought up in his career, driven by hurting others so they'd hurt him. A pseudo-masochistic mind and a savage appearence. A tremor flows through the ring as Gnarfflinger is planted on the surface of plywood and canvassing, echoing in Matt's head for an entirely different reason. For, what Oliveira saw...was a pair of boltcutters.

Matt rises slowly to his hands and knees, looking across the ring again apathetically as his four rivals continue on mindlessly throwing themselves at one another. He turns back and grabs the handle of the cutters, picking himself up by the ropes and leaning into the turnbuckle. He blinks again, a million thoughts a second, Reeves, Deperado, Gnarff and Kobashi still fighting... tunnel-visioned, emotionless, all wanting exactly what he himself had achieved. The glory, the prestiege, the honor. All they had in their heads was the chance to be on the top, for some for the first time, for others to rebaptize their careers. Little did they know that not only does the best fighter need to be able to posess the NeXuS trophy, but the one with the greatest mindset, because little did they know it would be the one thing that really made Oliveira, the 2007 champ, Tag champ, and King of Deathmatches... the most miserable man on the planet. The Genius blinks under his brow once more, performing a farmer's blow and launching a dose of snot and blood onto the mat as he turns to the cage door. He raises up the boltcutters, with both hands, and pinches the chain latching the door shut. It severs the links and the chain falls lifelessly to the ground, the referee nearby flipping his lid outside the ring, Oliveira stepping through the ropes, about to leave.

JP: "WHAT THE F*CK IS MATT DOING? WHAT THE HELL IS THIS?"
Ray: "...he's...he's..."

Ref: "HEY! HEY! Oliveira! You can't do that! Get the hell back to the match!"

Matt ignores the official, kicking open the door of the cage and stepping onto the steel steps, emotionless. Blood runs down his face, down his throat, only 5 minutes into the match. The referee approaches Oliveira on his metallic pinnacle, threatening him of a disqualification if he doesn't return to the cage and stage one. Matt flicks his head back, hair showing a monotone face as he takes another step down, eyes filled with conflict and a lifelessness. No longer of passion or drive, no longer of caring. The Genius takes another step and plants his foot on the ring mats, Gnarfflinger and Desperado turning their heads to notice of one of their close counterparts doing something far from the ordinary.

"...he's leaving! Matt's leaving!"

Oliveira looks at the fans closest to him, shocked and stunned at what the match-favorite just had done. He drops the boltcutters as the referee, just about to administer punishment, follows along with the routine killings and fishes out extra chain, relocking the cage door securely. A ring attendant quickly returns from the timekeeper's table with the KOTDM championship in his hand, and places it in the posession of the rightful owner. Oliveira drops the title to his side, dangling from one hand, and rounds the corner, beginning to walk up the ramp. He turns after roughly five paces, looking back to the ring, and at the 18 men that chose to sign the death warrants tonight, nearly too many to count. A few heads and pairs of eyes meet Matt's, to which he replies by raising his arms in a crucifix.

JP: "I can't believe this...the champion is walking out...this is..."
Ray: "..it's...it's something..."

Oliveira turns around again and continues walking up the ramp, some fans beginning to jeer at him for assumed cowardice, others startled by the situation. Matt continues walking, the dogs not barking in his head, but sound sleep. A clear mind welcomes him. The Genius takes step by step, up that ramp and across the stage, pausing just before he hits the curtain and looks back...

"...and I know I'm right."

After the final address, he continues through the curtain, affectively eliminating himself from the NeXuS Deathmatch...and for the rest of the night.

(OOC: I'm done.)

TBCB Kobashi, Reeves, Gnarff or Desperado

[gnarfflinger]

OOC: Matt, I Take your word for it, but I have to write this in Character.

The four combatants look kind of stunned at Matt's departure.

Reeves: Where's he going?

Desperado: I don't believe it--He just walked out.

RKK: He's up to something, I know it.

GtB: If you're right, then it will be a doozie, and I don't think the officials will stop him, but I've seen that look before, and I think he needs to find himself...

RKK: I remember that night you went to Wal Mart with Alex Stall and Hawkeye only to have your partner bail on you...

GtB: Yeah, that was a long night...

At that point, the four all decide to resume the action in light of hte bombshell that Matt Olivera dropped on them. Reeves lands a right hand on Rurouni, but it is not enough to thwart a jabbing kick to the ribs of Desperado as he suckered the Butcher, who was busy with a front Roundhouse kick to the upper back of Reeves.

JP: The four men are obviously shocked at the departure of Matt Olivera, but Business has resumed.

Ray: I hope my Matty is okay...

AS Desperado returns fire on Rurouni, the Butcher turns to the tandem and also gets his shots in on both of them. The three engage in a chaotic storm of punches and kicks while Reeves goes to the top rope. Before he can launch himself, The Butcher and Desperado whip Rurouni into the same corner, causing Reeves to lose balance and fall, scratching himself on the barbed wire and making it harder for the officials to get the door chained shut. Gnarfflinger then moves to Spear Rurouni, but the Wandering Samurai dodges, shunting the Butcher into Reeves as he tried to get up. The Impact sends both men sprawling through the opened cage door and unceremoniously to the floor.

JP: No Cage can contain this action!

Ray: Now they disqualify that ugly troll and eliminate the rookie before that monster can hurt him too badly...

The officials are trying to regroup and try to get the combatants back to the match, but the Butcher gets to his feet, presses Reeve over his head and drops him, chest first over the guard rail then roos under the ring.

Ref: You two gotta get back int he cage!

Gnarfflinger pulls a table out from under the ring.

GtB: Just let me get this in the cage and I'll be following it...

Meanwhile another official has escorted Reeve back to the Cage. Rurouni and Desperado have locked up and are trying to drive the other face first into the barbed wire wrapped cage wall. The Referee allows the Butcher to slide the table into the cage and follow it in. The Door is quickly shut and locked!

JP: This match is back int he cage where it belongs!

Gnarfflinger sets up the table only to be blindsided by Reeves. Reeves uses the street sign to stagger the Veteran. Gnarfflinger finds a hockey stick and drives it into the gut of the rookie. He then delivers a 30 game two hander across the back of Reeves allowing him to spread some thumbtacks lovingly on the table...

Meanwhile Desperado sends Rurouni's face into the barbed wire, allowing him to find a beer bottle. He then smashes it into the face of the Wandering Samurai who falls to the canvas. Desperado goes for a pair of Brass Knuckles, but Rurouni has found his Hand sickle! The wandering Samurai chops at the leg of Desperado, causing him to scream in pain!

As Rurouni begins to choke his quarry with the chain., the Butcher has squirted some lighter fluid on the table. Reeves hits a low blow with a piece of the hockey stick that the Butcher broke over his back, then German Suplexes the Butcher on a steel chair that was lying in the ring.

Rurouni, ever aware of the machinations of the Veteran Butcher, released Desperado and lights the table on fire!

AS Rurouni drages Desperado into position, Reeves tries to drag the Butcher over to the deadly hazard. Gnarfflinger regains control and as Rurouni lifts Desperado, the Butcher is coming up with Reeves on his shoulders. At the same instant, Rurouni powerbombs Desperado as the Butcher hits a Cleaver slam on Reeves, both men going hard through the flaming Tack Table!

Crowd: *Holy Shit* chant!

JP: What an amazing combination! Reeves and Desperado are lying in the smoking remains of the flaming Tack Table!

Ray throws off the headset to vomit in the waste basket provided.

The Butcher and the Wandering Samurai tap fists momentarily, but as the Butcher launches a fireball at Rurouni, his adversary spews a green mist into the face of the Butcher. All four men now roll on the ground in pain!

TBC: Anyone...

OOC: I don't care if I get DQ'ed for my post, that spot was totally worth it!

[Rurouni]

Rurouni has his hands over his face as he feels the hair singe from the fireball and is seen rolling. Gnarffinger is seen standing to his feet but falling every time he stands up as he attempts to wipe the green mist out of his face. Reeves and Desperado are seen slowly rolling off the remains of the burnt table both have thumbtacks in there back as they lay on there stomach. You see where on there backs skin is hanging and the area is very red. Gnarffinger stands up and through blurry eyes looks around as he continues to try and get the mist out of them. Rurouni has slowly made it to his feet and begins to look on the ground a smile plays on his face as he see's the chains that are linked. Rurouni's eyes follow the chain links stopping at the Sickle attached to the chain.

Jimmy:Oh dear god! Rurouni is eyeing up the sickle. This will not be good for someone or somebodies. I still can not believe that smell of burning flesh that is still slightly permeating the area.

Ray:I know Jimmy I mean that was just sickening but I guess we should have expected nothing less from these bohemians who like to destroy the body that was given to them. I just don't see the point in ruining what were beautiful bodies.

Gnarffinger is able to see clearly now and he see's Rurouni going for the sickle he quickly looks around and smiles as he finds his trusty frying pan and makes a dart to pick it up. Reeves and Desperado are seen beginning to show signs of life as they move there arms gingerly as they feel there backs throbbing and burning while also coursing with pain from the thumbtacks stuck in there back. Desperado is the up to his feet and is seen trying to reach behind him and pull out some of the thumbtacks while gently touching the reddened skin. Desperado looks down and see's Reeves slowly beginning to make it to his feet and before Reeves can fully stand Desperado lands a hard right to the jaw before then tucking the head of Reeves under his right arm pit and then falls to the mat hitting a DDT while screaming in pain as he drives the thumbtacks deeper into his skin that he could not reach.

Jimmy:I don't know if that was smart or not on Desperado's part. I mean He might have done more damage to himself then to Reeves. But this match goes to show you that the superstars of GHW are not afraid to lay it all on the line. Ray I have been meaning to ask you. Have you figured out why Matt would have walked out of a match. A match that he surprised everyone by winning? I mean I don't think Matt could have lost the heart or desire or could he?

Ray:Tell you the truth I am glad he is not in this ring. He was so brutal I am glad if you must know. All I know is if anyone makes it out of this cage alive they are going to be half dead or almost dead.

Rurouni smiles as he bends down to pick up the sickle. Gnarffinger is standing right behind Rurouni and waits holding the frying pan as if he was going to swing a bat. Rurouni slowly stands up as Gnarffinger swings the pan a hallow thud sound is heard followed by Rurouni falling straight to the ground landing on his stomach from the frying pan shot. Gnarffinger is unaware that Desperado has made it to his feet and came over. Desperado taps Gnarffinger on the shoulder to get his attention as soon as Gnarffinger turns around Desperado locks in a three quarter face lock and falls to the mat hitting a Diamond Cutter. Reeves is seen making it to his feet and is leaning against the ropes trying to catch his breath and gather his wits about him.

TBC

[Desperado]

Desperado staggers before regaining his balance and walking over to Reeves. Desperado gives Reeves a cheeky grin before attempting a quick jab. Reeves anticipates it coming. Wrapping his right-arm around Desperado’s cranium, the debutant clasps him in a headlock, using his left hand to clout it. Desperado retaliates by punching Reeves ribs with both hands, trying to make him release the headlock. Desperado pushes Reeves towards the steel cage, while still being trapped in the headlock. This prompts Reeves to release the headlock and move aside from the cage at the last second. Desperado not realising rushes head first into the cage draped with the barbed wire, prising it open with a clean cut across. Desperado clenches his eyes and draws his hands to his head as the blood seeps through vigilantly. He avoids any blood dripping into his eyes but it doesn’t save him from the violent smack of a beer bottle to his skull. Reeves nails Desperado, in between the eyes using the ever-so-useful bar weapon. The glass smashes into the formerly nicked wounds of Desperado, adding yet more agony to his previous injuries.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

“And another head busted wide open. It is getting really messy in there, I hope they have enough left in them when the roof is finally lifted.”

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
“How could you be thinking about the match at a time like this? Have you gone insane? My poor Despy is bleeding to death here, … Someone dial 911, call the ambulance.”

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
“It’s just a small cut. He has suffered much worse than this. Besides the blood-works are just getting started. If this year is going to be anything like last time. We have more to worry about than a cut. Career’s could be ended tonight.”[/center][/color]

Both Gnarfflinger and Rurouni make it back to their feet at the same time. They take a moment to recover from the fatigue that has been building up and regain their consciousness of their surroundings but once their eyes meet, its back to business for both of them. The ‘Wandering Samurai’ and Gnarfflinger continue their personal battle. They lock up in the centre of the ring in traditional style. Rurouni gains the upper hand and locks Gnarfflinger into a full nelson. The butcher tries to kick Rurouni's legs with the heel of his foot, trying to force his opponent to release the submission manoeuvre. Rurouni responds by planting him into the canvas with a full nelson slam.

Reeves catches the moment perfectly, witnessing Rurouni drive Gnarfflinger to the mat, he creeps of behind him, being careful not to catch his attention. He crouches down to lift the frying pan Gnarfflinger was previously using and stands directly behind him. He signals the crowd to prepare for a skull-shattering experience. He raises the house-hold weapon as high as he can. As he plans to bring it down, Rurouni turns to face him and with lighting quick reflexes manages to sidestep the pan-shot and thrusts his hand into Reeves neck. Reeves immediately releases the weapon and pulls both hands to his neck, trying to break free of the choke. The oxygen supply to his body cuts off and his turns to a shade of blue. Before Rurouni can choke Reeves out, Desperado zooms in out of the blue with a spine-cracking spear, steering the veteran butcher into turnbuckle.

Desperado is all smile as his revenge was seen to completion, however his celebration doesn’t last long as Gnarfflinger grabs a-hold of his locks and lifts him to his feet. Just as Gnarfflinger was about to nail Desperado with a fist in between the eyes. There is aloud ‘THWACK!’ as a frying pan knocks him out cold to the ground. Reeves stands above him with the weapon in hand.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
“And its Reeves this time coming to Desperado‘s aid, repaying the favour.”

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
“It was nowhere near repying him. Desperado saved his life, ... he’s a hero.”

(speaking to himself)
‘Or maybe he helped him because he has a secret crush on Desperado.’

“I‘m going to kill that bastard.”

Just as Reeves was about to bring the pain or should you say pan to Desperado he signals a quick time out. There is a moment of discussion between the two as Desperado pleads at Reeves trying to make him see his point of view. He points at the fallen Gnarfflinger and Rurouni who are both down for the count. He then motions his finger pointing at Reeves and then himself followed by a finger at the direction of the elevated cage. Reeves ponders for a moment, … not too sure about trusting Desperado but as his attention turns to the elevated cage he lets his guard down. He turn to face Desperado with a smile but is met with Desperado arm and a DKO. Desperado laughs at the newcomer before posing in front of the crowd standing over his three opponents. They surround him with chants of jeering but have no affect on Desperado’s arrogance.

As the Stone Orchard member admires his work, he hears a clattering of the cage as he look around to witness all the cage roofs beginning to open. Desperado take a look at each of his opponents for an instant before charging towards the barbed covered cage. The flesh on his hands digs into the barbs surrounding the cage, leaving drips of blood trailing him. The wounds on his hands from Decimation re-igniting themselves causing grieve pain to Desperado. His pace is slow as the exhaustion and low-energy catch up with him, making him pay with every climb he makes. Rurouni makes it back to his feet and realising the hazardous prospect, goes in pursuit and as using the remaining strength in his wore down body he grabs hold of Desperado’s boot. The Golden Angel Champion attempts to kick him off but his effort remains ineffectual. Desperado tries to escape once again but with Rurouni’s hand gripping into his wrist, that move didn’t seem possible and with the pain from the barbs growing every second, Desperado is forced to give in. He lets go of the cage and flings himself off, taking Rurouni down with him.

TBCB …

[gnarfflinger]

Gnarfflinger regains his feet and sees Reeves. The Butcher moves toward him with a frying pan. Reeves kicks the Butcher in the gut, but still takes a frying pan shot to the skull. Reeves flies back to the barbed wire cage side, slumps to all fours as the Butcher mounts teh second rope. He launches off the turnbuckle qith an Arabian Skull crusher to the fallen rookie.

Meanwhile, Rurouni has beaten Desperado to his feet. Rurouni kicks him in the ribs, sending him into the barbed wire cage wall. Rurouni then suplexes him into the remains of the flaming tack table. Rurouni then looks to find his hand sickle and moves in to torture Desperado in a gruesome fashion when he is speared by the Butcher, causing the hand sickle to clatter off to the far corner. Gnarfflinger then applies a Boston crab to drive some tacks into the chest of the Wandering Samurai.

Desperado regains his hands and knees, only to be kicked in the head by Reeves. Reeves then grabs a belt from the scattered contents of a weapon can. Crack! One cruel lash from the belt has Desperado cursing audibly. Crack! A second strike and Desperado's back shows nasty welts. Crack! A third attack and Desperado is screaming in pain. AS Reeves rears back for a fourth strike, Desperado lunges forward, driving his shoulder into the nads of his assailant. Desperado then attempts a figure Four Leg Lock on the rookie to disable his legs for when the roof of the Cage opens...

[Desperado]

(It has been more than ten minutes of the match and at the end of my last post, I mentioned the cage roof opening)

Rurouni's cries can be matched by Reeves wails as both men struggle against the submission maneuver's they have been put in. Desperado applies more pressure on the figure-four leg-lock, the pain builds up inside Reeves legs forcing him to tap his hands against the ground repeatedly however, with no submissions to count for and no-one to help him, he writhers in his own pool of blood trying to break out whilst Rurouni is fighting his own battle. He struggles against Gnarfflinger's boston crab vigurously, tryig hs upmost to break the hold, with it becoming more and more unbearable every second. Showing remorse to hs opponent, Desperado is the first to release the hold prompting Gnarfflinger to also do the same.

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::

"It seems both the submission expertees are going to go at it. With the cage roof open, any two of them can escape and book their place in the final eight but the question is, ... which two."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"Well at this very moment, it looks like the butcher could make it and so can my Despy. If Gnarff had half the brain Desperado does, he would call it truce and both could make it into the next round but no, ... They're going to battle it out to prove to themselves who is truly greater. I mean what is the point? ... Is it worth missing out on the big finale."

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
"You would know the answer to tha had you ever stepped foot in that ring."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"I have."

::{{~~Jimmy Pate~~}}::
"As a Fighty fighty person."

::{{~~Ray White~~}}::
"Whatever, ... All I know is my Despy is going through."[/center][/color]

Both men step up to each other. Desperado gives Gnarff a cheeky smile, and Gnarfflinger hits one back but a more determined sort of smile. They lock up in the cornor of the ring. Gnarfflinger uses his experience to come out on top, slipping behind Desperado and pushing him into the turnbuckle. Before he can follow up, Desperado hits back an elbow which catches the veteran in his face. Gaining a few seconds of time, Desperado makes the most of it, nailing his opponent dead in the jaw with an uppercut. Gnarfflinger falls back in a dramatic, slow-motion sort of way.

Desperado taunts his opponent with some uncomfortable words before stumbling over to the barb covered cage. His hands meet the steel once again. Adding salt to his wounds, he moves up the cage wall teeth clenched, trying to fight the pain and weariness. Shadows start appearing before his eyes as his head starts spinning. The vertical climb seeming the more impossible with every step to freedom. Reeves watches in despair as his attempts of regaining his balance end in vain. Hope finds its way as Rurouni staggers back to his feet, he looks up at Desperado and begins chase right away. The pain in his back from the boston crab not adding any help to the cause nor the many cuts and bruises present on his body.

TBCB ...

[gnarfflinger]

AS Desperado nears the top of the cage, Rurouni gets a baseball bat and uses it to knock Desperado from the cage wall. The Wandering Samurai delivers two shots to the upper back to weaken the shoulders of Desperado then mounts the back of his target and used the bat to choke him.

Gnarfflinger, meanwhile seizes the chance and starts up the cage wall. He painfully nears the top, but he sees Reeves and launches himself from the side of the cage to deliver a cross body block. Gnarfflinger's momentum, however, causes him to roll off Reeves and onto some barbed wire that had been kicked into the middle of the ring. Reeves sees the Butcher's predicament, and wraps the barbed wire around the Butcher and then drags the Butcher around the ring, through some Thumbtacks.

Ray: It looks like Reeves has figured out how to fit in with the GHW superstars...

JP: And the Butcher is a qualified teacher, I bet he's impressed...

AS the Butcher is more entangled in the Barbed wire, he gets his feet under him. Reeves tries to put him off balance by trying to run him in circles, but he is forced to release him, sending him colliding unceremoniously into Rurouni and Desperado...

TBC: Anyone.

Sorry it's so short, but it's late here...

When Reeves collides with Desperado and Rurouni, Desperado flies back into the turnbuckle, Rurouni cuts his right arm off of the cage wall, and Reeves head hit’s desperado’s right boot as he hits the canvas which causes Reeves to go into a blurry state.

You can say that again, but don’t. [/color] [/center]

The Butcher wraps his hands around the barbed wire and begins to untangle himself. Rurouni holds his right arm then bends down then leaps in the air dropkicking Desperado into the turnbuckle. Desperado falls down into a sitting position. Rurouni still on the assault balls his left fist and strikes at Desperado’s head continuously. Reeves now on his feet turns around only to have The Butcher whip out the barbed wire across Reeves chest. Reeves falls onto his knees holding his chest which has a cut diagonal across it.

What the hell is Butcher doing?!! [/color][/center]

The Butcher then wraps the barbed wire around his left fist. He measures Reeves up as Reeves stumbles to his feet. The Butcher then lunges forwards t full capacity towards Reeves but Reeves dunks and scoops the Butcher up over his shoulder. Reeves then runs forward and slams the Butcher on the garbage can with a power slam. Reeves rolls over onto his back as he lies on he canvas and the Butcher is still on the garbage can looking crapier then ever.

What a slam! I bet the Butcher wishes he was in a different cage right now. [/color] [/center]

Rurouni is still striking Desperado upside the head until Desperado lifts up his right leg kicking Rurouni in the groin. Desperado rises to his feet and runs up towards Rurouni and jumps in the air putting him in a headlock driving his face into the canvas with a bulldog. Desperado staggers to his feet and he spreads his arms measuring Rurouni up. Rurouni slowly begins to rise to his feet, but before Desperado could connect with the DKO Reeves runs up from behind and sticks out his arm clotheslining Desperado in the back of the head. The impact of the clothesline sends Desperado into Rurouni. Reeves bends over to catching a breath then he stands straight up looking round to see that everyone around him is on the canvas. Reeves notices the Butcher is slowly rising off of the garbage can. Reeves measures him up. As the Butcher rises to his feet Reeves shoves his right shoulder into the Butcher’s gut then grabs his hamstring and lifts him into the air and is about to slam him into the garbage can but the Butcher wraps Reeves head into a front face lock and drives the Butcher’s head into the garbage can.

Reeves is holding his head on the ground. His head has blood running down it making it look like he is wearing a mask of crimson blood. The Butcher slowly rises to his feet and picks up the steel chair holding it in both hands. Rurouni is now on his feet he runs up to the Butcher blind sided. The Butcher senses it and spins around slamming the chair against Rurouni’s face. Rurouni stumbles back into the bottom left turnbuckle on the announcer’s side. The Butcher raises the chair in the air showing his dominance. He turns around only to have Desperado lean back lifting his foot connecting with a super kick knocking the chair into the Butcher’s jaw. The Butcher drops to the canvas back first as if he was just shot. Desperado notices Reeves slowly rising. Desperado jumps in the air putting his arms around Reeves neck going for another DKO but Reeves pushes him off sending Desperado into the steel cage wall making the barbed wire cut his abdomen and forearms. Reeves runs at him going for a spear but Desperado drops down and rolls out of the way making Reeves spear the barbed wire nearly knocking the cell wall down.

I bet he’s glad he got out of that one. [/color] [/center]

Reeves right shoulder got cut really bad. He pulls away from the wall and turns round only to have Desperado kick him in the gut with his right foot then grab his arm right and jump in the air slamming it into the canvas with a jumping arm breaker. Desperado backs away as Reeves holds his right arm as blood pours out while on the canvas.

.::Ray White::.

He’s losing to much blood! [/color][/center]

The ref steps between Reeves and Desperado. He helps Reeves up and tries to get him out of the cage but Reeves pushes him away with his left hand. Reeves unwraps his tape on his right hand then wraps it onto his right arm covering the wound. He then staggers to his feet and looks at Desperado. He balls his fist and lifts his hands in front of himself challenging Desperado.

He’s going to continue this match! [/color] [/center]

Desperado smiles, he then motions for Reeves to come at him. Reeves lunges a right at Desperado but Desperado hooks Reeves right with his right arm and he flips him over with a hip toss. Reeves it’s the canvas with a thud. Desperado laughs. Mean while the Butcher pulls himself up using the ropes but Rurouni runs at him and jumps in the air smashing his elbow into the Butcher’s throat. The Butcher falls onto his knee holding his throat in pain. Rurouni lifts p his left foot and keeps slamming it on the back of the butcher’s neck.

TBC: Anyone in the cage

[Rurouni]

Desperado plays to the crowd a few more seconds before he then makes his way slowly to one of the sides. He begins to grimace as he reaches out touching the cage and begins the too slowly climb up the cage. Rurouni satisfied that Gnarffinger has been laid out. Turns and realizes that Desperado has begun to slowly climb his way up the cage. Rurouni beaten, bleeding and aching all over makes his way over to the part of the cage where Desperado has climbed and Rurouni grimaces as he touches the cage and the barbs from the wire and he makes his way up the cage slowly trying to catch Desperado. Desperado feels the movement on the cage and looks down and sees Rurouni right behind him but also having troubles climbing the cage. Desperado tries to block out the pain an wills himself to climb faster. Rurouni continues to climb and appears to slowly be catching Desperado. Reeves by this time has gotten up to his feet and looks around realizing that only he and Gnarffinger are in the ring. Reeves looks up and sees Desperado about half way up the cage and Rurouni not far behind. Reeves curses and slowly begins to make his way up the cage trying to avoid the barbs of wire.

Desperado pauses for just a few seconds as he tries to look around the cage where he is for spots to grab that don't contain wire. Rurouni is almost caught up to him but what neither man realize is that Reeves is climbing up slowly and is almost caught up to them both. Desperado begins the slow climb but feels a hand grabbing his boot. Desperado looks down and sees Rurouni is almost at the same height. Desperado tries to kick Rurouni off but is unable too as he feels the barbs sticking into his palms. Rurouni is now standing about even with Desperado and both men are trying to trade punches back and forth with each other. Both men are seen teetering as they try to hold on with there free hand against the pain that is going through. Reeves during this battle has found himself at about the same level and grabs Desperado by the back of his head and bangs it off the cage. Rurouni looks to Reeves who looks at Rurouni and both men take an arm of Desperado and drape it over there shoulders. The fans look on in awe and amazement as both Rurouni and Reeves push themselves off the cage while holding Desperado and all three men fall to the mat below Desperado lands on his back while Rurouni and Reeves land on there fronts and the crowd goes nuts as everyone lays on the mat.

Jimmy:Wow! Did you see that Ray? Rurouni and Reeves used some teamwork and what the hell do you call what they did? I don't know if there is a name for that.

Ray:It's called hurting my Despy pooh thats what I call it. Reeves and Rurouni could have broke my Despys back with that move! I do hope that Despy pooh will be ok.

Gnarffinger comes too and tries to survey the scene. He finely can focus and sees Rurouni, Reeves, and Desperado are all laying on the mat almost in a heap. Gnarffinger makes it to his feet and almost falls down as he begins to realize how much blood he has lost and how much pain he is in. Gnarffinger is finely able to get to his feet and slowly walks over towards the three bodies that lie on the mat. Gnarffinger agonizingly lifts his foot up and brings his boot down on the chest of Desperado and the backs of both Reeves and Rurouni. Gnarffinger is not satisfied and slowly makes his way to one of the garbage cans and pulls out a kendo stick that he holds high up in the air. Gnarffinger walks back over to the three men and smiles as he raises the stick before bringing it down a loud crack is heard throughout the arena as the stick makes contact with all three men the cane opening up to grab flesh before it comes back up. Gnarffinger again raises the cane up above his head and brings it down again across the three men grabbing skin and leaving red welts on there bodies. Gnarffinger raises the cane for a third strike but is caught by surprise and stops to look down as he sees Rurouni's hand gripping around his ankle. This distraction seemed to be enough as Reeves rolls over and trips up Gnarffinger causing Gnarffinger to hit the mat. Desperado is seen beginning to stir as Reeves is the first man to his feet and Rurouni is right behind Reeves though both men fall into the ropes and look at each other and nod there head. They with effort bend down to pick up Desperado and stand him to his feet. Reeves and Rurouni each place an arm around the head of Desperado both men then proceed to grab the trunks of Desperado and pick Desperado up so that he is vertically up in the air. To the surprise of both men though Desperado shifts his weight and comes back down in the process and hits a double DDT to both men the impact almost spikes both Reeves and Rurouni. All four men lay on the mat each one trying to gather there wits and breath and some energy so that they can somehow make it out of the cage and onto the next level.
