New Age Championship: Ryu v. Brian

[Hayabusa]

Hyperelf:This should be one hell of a main event. I mean first let me make sure that I have all my sweets by my side you can never have to many sweets. But um yeah so Ryu having only been here since Nexus and having one other match after the Deathmatch is stepping into the ring with a shot at the highest prize in our sport the New Age Championship. Brian has been on one hell of a tear...Excuse me while I tear open this package of hersey tootsie rolls.

Hyper is bent off camera as the microphone picks up explitives coming from out of Hyper's mouth as he seems to be having trouble opening the bag up. Collin just shakes his head and speaks.

Collins:This is going to be a test for Ryu as Brian Commonwealth has yet to be beat since he won the title. Ryu has shown his skills first in the deathmatch at Nexus and then again against Emblem. I know the crowd will be hyped to see this match as they can not wait to see Brian lose the title.

Charlie Coors:Ladies and Gentleman this is your main event at Tried and Convicted. On the line is the New Age Championship! Introducing first from Nagasaki Japan! He weighed in at 220 lbs Ryu "ThunderHawk" Kenamora!!!!!!!!!!

The arena darkens slightly as white lights shine on the entrance.The ends of the stage give way as two ODaiko Drums one on each side surrounded by several Nakado-aiko drums begin to raise into view on platforms. After the tiakos have appeared on stage males wearing tied headbands and long flowing robes come out flanked by several women in white make up with very red lipstick looking like China Dolls, wearing Red kimonos.

Collin:Here we go as Ryu's entrance begins. You know Hyper I think that one girl on the right is giving you the eye.

Hyperelf:(Mouth full of tootsie rolls) She is? Where?

The two men each proceed to walk to the ODaiko Drums which are bigger then either man. While the women that were flanking head to the smaller Nakado-aiko drums. all the people are seen holding Bachis which are a type of drum stick used to play the Taikos. The two men begin to slowly beat on the Odaiko's each hit fills the arena with its sound. Then the two men begin to slowly build up speed hitting the Odaiko's with more force and speed. The women begin to slowly hit the Nakado-aiko working up a rhythm that supports the two men beating on the Odaikos.The sound that is heard fills the arena making people's hair stand on edge as they hear the rhythmic hard sounds bringing almost a calm throughout the arena. Black rose petals begin to slowly rain down on the stage where the drummers are leaving a light layer of petals on the entrance way.

Collins:There are those black rose petals again. Man that is like so cool everytime I see it.

As this Goes on A hard heavy drum beat mixed with a hard guitar riff begins and as quickly as it begins driving hard and fast. Your amazed as the drummers on the stage appear to be keeping up as the words to the song begin.

You've Been Targeted In The Night By Violent Mercenaries. Your Identity's Been Confused With One That Looks Like You You're A Simple Man Living Life.You Are An Electrician. But There's A Bounty On Your Head A Billion Unmarked Travelers Checks.

Ryu walks out onto the stage as the lights begin to flash and pulse before circling around the arena and then end up stopping and focusing on Ryu. Ryu stands on the stage as the flowers continue to rain down and the Odaiko drums and Nakado-aiko drums continue to beat to the pace of the song as the second lyrics kick in.

Ryu begins to slowly make his way down the entrance ramp as a shower of fireworks begin to fall. Ryu stands half way down the ramp as he turns around bringing his hands together into a strange shape while outstretched and then brings them into his chest. The Titon Tron is lit up with various images of Ryu performing different moves in a ring

The ring will light up in various colors from multi colored lights and off the ring posts will shoot different colored fireworks shooting up into the sky before you hear.

The riff will continue to play as the drummers on stage continue to keep up with the fast hard pace of the song. Ryu will continue to make his way down to the ring. When Ryu gets to the ring he will jump onto the apron and grab onto the top ropes where he then launches himself curling into a ball and rolling through before standing on his feet as the last verse plays.

As the song comes to an end Ryu unties the belt around his waist letting the robe open up as he removes the robe a championship type belt is seen around his waist. Ryu removes the belt and proceeds to place his robe on top of the belt, he then proceeds to hand all of it to the ring side valet. Ryu grabs the ropes a few times while waiting for his opponent.

[Brian Commonwealth]

Ryu warms up in the middle of the ring by bouncing from foot to foot, throwing his arms out, and stretching his neck out. The fans in the arena are loudly cheering this scene of competition as they know the match they are about to witness will be one which will be etched into their minds forever. I, Brian Commonwealth, realize what is about to occur, and only one thing runs through my mind...

Choosing to be here, right now... This body holding me reminds me that I am not alone. This pain is an illusion... I've sat back and watched this house empty. My house... I was the host and they were my guest. What overwhelmed this situation to such an extent? They all exited through my front door without one trace fossil to answer my questions... Their footprints are few, as they all combine into one after following it's trail for so long. These guest that meant so much in my life all left and abandoned me and my home. Does that make me a widower? I'm alive, but I feel dead. I'm the only one left... Can this house sustain such a lonely life force such as I? I may be alive, but it is not by my own will.

Perhaps my guest expected me to follow, but I did not... I stayed and have rotted away to nothing but a shell. The house around me is left in ruins. They left me for dead. They left my house for dead. Not only did they leave for my and it's death, they strive for it's death and mine own death! I am a shell though! Shells are the beginning of life. Slowly, my feet will push through the outer layer... Cracking open a space for the light to invade my vestal vision. Chlorophyll surely runs through my veins for this sunlight has given me strength to break from this shell! My muscles work! My legs have strength! My arms are powerful! My vision is perfect! My soul is cleansed. I pick myself off of the ground and grab my tools! I'll build these walls again to keep out invaders and the people that can only harm me and my house. I'll construct this ceiling to stop the rain from pouring down on me! The interior is slowly being filled with new designs and lavish things that cleanse my mind of the past. Finally, there are my guest... New friends... These are my new guest - no! This is my new family! Never again will this house be defiled and left for dead along with I. This house will prevail and become the utopia it was before. For with my family and I as the inner moldings, nothing can ever break this absolution!

Ryu and the fans continue looking on at the entrance stage as they await the music of Brian Commonwealth excitedly. The arena lights then completely go out and every internal light is dimmed until it is pitch black with only camera flashes and cell phone lights filling the arena.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: What is going on!? Someone get the lights back on! It's time for our main event!

Hyper Elf: Oh crap, I can't feel my Tootsie Rolls! Where are they!

A booming female voice is heard throughout the entire arena causing the fans in the arena to cease their speaking to hear the woman's voice.

Woman's Voice: Would everyone please shut off all cell phones and cameras and direct your attention to the Titan Tron. The following is a message from Brian Commonwealth.

The cell phone lights and the camera flashes immediately cease in the arena with only a few stray, barely noticeable cell phones and cameras. The arena is now so black, that if someone had put their own hand in front of their face, they wouldn't be able to see it. On the Titan Tron, a faint dark blue room with only dark blue curtains as the interior is seen. In the middle of the room is a brown, wooden chair in which Brian is seen sitting. His head is hung down and his body is dripping wet. He is wearing silver boots, silver knee pads, silver wrestling trunks that stop mid-thigh, silver elbow pads, and silver wrist tape. The dampness from his hair has made a continuous drip onto the wooden chair below in the space which his legs out outspread, forming a small puddle. Brian speaks in a very quiet, melancholy tone but every word can be heard as the arena is completely silent.

"They all left. Every single one of them. They all went off and formed something they think will kill GHW. They all left... They all left... Except me. They want to kill GHW, and they want to kill me. I'm still alive and breathing though. Nothing will ever change this. I will forever be here, and forever the New Age Champion, and in my cradled arms will be GHW. For I am the quintessential element: The Essence of Quintessence. I am the Master of Sickles, the True New Age... THIS is a True New Age for GHW and I. Continue shading your eyes all you want, but you will eventually see the shining future of Brian Commonwealth... And GHW."

Brian then slowly stands up to his feet, and walks out of the room. The screen then fades to black as the very slow, progressive strumming of "Parabol" by Tool is heard throughout the arena which stays completely silent as the scenes begin playing on the screen.

Vladimir Strife is shown in the middle of a GHW ring in an empty, dark GHW arena with his head down. Vladimir slowly looks up and around the empty arena and a close-up of his face is shown. The scene abruptly changes to the same exact close-up, but this time he has a crimson mask of blood and the arena is is lit, full of fans who are cheering his name after his performance as he soaks it all up. The scene changes back to show the same close-up, but the arena is once again dark and empty. Vladimir shakes his head a bit as the scene fades to show him walking through the curtains to backstage in the empty GHW arena...

The scene cuts over to show KingBear in his well lit office which is now completely clean with nothing in it. KingBear holds a very large box in his hands with no lid as he stands near the open doorway. The contents of the box reveal many things that he had in his office as he looks around it once more before closing his eyes. The scene suddenly cuts over to show KingBear standing on the middle turnbuckle pad in his wrestling gear, him dripping with sweat as he holds one arm in the air to the sold-out GHW crowd he is at after he has just won a match. The scene then cuts back over to KingBear in his office just before he opens his eyes again. KingBear slowly turns around and exits the office slowly. A few moments later, his arm is seen reaching back in, and turning off the lights...

Back in the dark, empty arena where Vladimir was in, a long row in the audience is filled with many men and one woman who only recline back in their seats and look at the ring in the middle of the arena. From left to right, these people include none other than Rhaps, Human Wreckingball, Bret Baxton, Metal Dragon, Desperado, Alex Stall, Lil Rey Ray, and Amanda. After a long while of staring at the ring, Rhaps is the first one to stand up. Rhaps stretches a bit and shakes his head in disappointment as he looks to his right at all of these other people who only look back at him. Rhaps nods his head at them all and slowly walks through the exit at the end of the row. Wreckingball slowly stands up and follows suit before taking one last look at the GHW. The rest of the people all follow the same routine until the last one exits and the screen fades to black as the song ends...

The Tried and Convicted Pay-Per-View arena is suddenly fully illuminated causing aggravated grunts and yells from the fans who shade their eyes along with Ryu over his mask at the sudden light.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: What the Hell is...

Colin has no time to finish his saying and the fans have no time to prepare for the heavy riffs of "Parabola" by Tool blare throughout the arena and Brian slowly walks out onto the entrance stage igniting a frenzy of boos throughout the arena. The arena is going mad with boos and jeers as it is the most amount of heat that has been heard throughout the entire night. Brian stands on the entrance ramp dripping wet, looking around the arena with his hands on his hips still wearing silver boots, silver knee pads, silver elbow pads, silver wrist tape, and silver wrestling trunks that stop mid-thigh with 'Commonwealth' written in gold across the butt area of them. He has the New Age Championship strapped firmly around his waist.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: I honestly have no idea what the Hell just went on, but that music video clip caught me by surprise...

Hyper Elf: Yeah, it's been a crazy place in GHW the past couple of weeks, but this is Tried and Convicted, I have my Tootsie Rolls back in possession and sight, these fans are pumped for this match, we have one Hell of a main event, this couldn't possibly be any better.

Charlie Coors: On his way to the ring, hailing from Birmingham, England. He weighed in today at 239 pounds, he is the Master of Sickles, the Essence of Quintessence, the True New Age, THE NEW AGE CHAMPION! BRIAN COMMONWEALTH!!!

We barely remember
Who or what came before
This precious moment
We are choosing to be here
Right now
Hold on
Stay inside, this...

Brian has begun strolling arrogantly down the ramp with a cold, cocky, smug look on his face as he looks back and forth slowly between the fans on either side of him trying to touch him as he only ignores and looks down on them all.

This holy reality
This holy experience
Choosing to be here in...

Brian makes it to the edge of the ramp and makes it to the steel steps. He waste no time in jogging up them and walking along the outside ring apron before entering between the middle and top ropes.

This body
This body holding me
Be my reminder here that I am not alone in
This body
This body holding me
Feeling eternal all this pain is an illusion...

Brian quickly makes it to the nearest turnbuckle and climbs onto the middle turnbuckle pad before looking around the arena with his arms hanging on each side of him as he shakes his head disgusted at them with a still cocky, cold, smug look on his face. Brian hops down down from the turnbuckle and turns around to face Ryu who is staring right at Brian who is standing across the ring in front of the opposite turnbuckle from him. Brian reaches back with one arm and takes his New Age Championship off of his waist and slowly strolls to the middle of the ring along with Ryu as Brian's entrance music begins fading in the background. Brian grabs the New Age Championship with both hands before kissing it and handing it to the referee who stands in between Ryu and Brian, the only thing keeping them apart. The referee raises the belt high in the air igniting a large amount of frenzied cheers from the crowd.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: I've got goose bumps from all of this. This is all so exciting.

Hyper Elf: Oh yes, this is sure to be one for the books.

The referee turns around and walks toward the ropes nearest the commentator's table leaving Brian and Ryu alone in the middle of the ring. Ryu slowly extends his right arm to try and give Brian a handshake which is quickly slapped away by Brian sending a chorus of deafening boos throughout the arena. Brian scowls angrily at Ryu as the bell rings to start the match and both men back up into the turnbuckle corners they were in previously. They both then begin to circle each other inside of the ring, not taking an eyes off of each other as the fans are now cheering in pure manic. Finally, after a long while of circling, their backs are each right in front of opposite ropes. Then, at the same time, they lunge in for each other to initiate a tie-up in the middle of the ring...

TBCB Ryu Kenamora

[Hayabusa]

Brian and Ryu lock up in the collar and elbow tie up both with looks of determination on there faces as each one tries to get the better of the other. Ryu gets the advantage and drops down slightly before hooking an arm and tossing Brian over onto his back with an arm drag. Brian is quick to get up to his feet as he spins to face Ryu. Ryu looks across at Brian who looks across at him a slight cocky smile escapes from the lips of Brian as both Fighty fighty persons charge at each other to lock up once again. Brian though side steps Ryu and places his hands onto the back of Ryu and pushes Ryu with extra momentum.

Ryu continues to run and turns so that his back hits the ropes and he springs off the ropes coming back at Brian who drops to the mat as Ryu jumps over him and continues to run to the far side ring ropes. Ryu turns and bounces off the far side ring ropes building up more speed as he comes right back at Brian who just smiles and leap frogs Ryu who continues to run into the near side ropes where he hits them coming off back at Brian who reaches out hooking an arm of Ryu and using Ryu's own momentum falls to the mat as he pulls Ryu over onto his back with an Arm Drag.

Ryu is quick to get up and charges at Brian who again reaches out grabbing an arm of the charging Ryu and falls to the mat on his back as he pulls Ryu over and again onto his back with another arm drag. Ryu quickly gets to his feet and charges again at Brian who smiles with a cocky smile and again reaches out hooking the arm of Ryu as he falls to the mat on his back and pulls Ryu over once again. Ryu lands on his back and continues to use the motion to get to his feet as he spins and looks at Brian who has that cocky smile on his face proud that he is showing up Ryu in the opening minutes.

Collins:I must say Brian seems to be a bit full of himself early in the match. I mean granted he hit a couple of series of arm drags on Ryu but I think it is just a little early to think that your gonna win this match.

Hyperelf is hard to make out what he is saying as he has a box of donuts on the desk and white powder around his lips as you can see his mouth is just full of powdered donuts. Ryu looks over at Brian who again looks over at Ryu. Brian is overheard saying Come on! Ryu walks towards Brian who walks towards Ryu both men lunge at each other and again lock up in a collar and elbow tie up.

Both men push against each other the muscles in there arms and legs flex and begin to burn from the pressure. Ryu seems to be winning as he slowly begins to walk Brian backwards overpowering him. Ryu continues to push as his feet moves backing Brian into the turnbuckles. The ref runs over and calls for a break and Ryu gives a clean break backing off but is given a quick thumb to the eye from Brian which causes his eyes to water. The ref tells Brian to knock it off and Brian ignores the ref as he reaches out grabbing Ryu and sending him into the turnbuckles.

Brian takes his hand and bringing it back before striking the chest of Ryu with the pinky finger side the crowd is heard screaming WHOOOOOOOOOOOO! Brian takes his hand and again brings it back before striking the chest of Ryu a second time with the pinky finger side as the crowd again screams WHOOOOOOOOOOOO! Brian again takes his hand bringing it back before striking the chest of Ryu a third time with the pinky finger side as the crowd again screams WHOOOOOOOOOOOO! Brian is quick to follow the third chop up with another thumb to the eye which gets a boo from the crowd as the ref again tells Brian to stop using illegal moves.

Ryu has his hand up to his face as he tries to see through watered eyes. Brian gently pushes the ref aside and reaches out grabbing Ryu by the arm and leaning into Ryu's body before then pulling himself off and out as he sends Ryu running across the ring and into the far turnbuckles. Ryu turns his body around as he lands in the turnbuckles the impact jarring his spine. Brian sets himself against the turnbuckles before he starts to run across the ring gaining lots of speed and momentum as he approaches Ryu.

Brian is almost on top of Ryu when Ryu moves at the last minute causing Brian to run into the turnbuckles chest first with a full head of steam. Brian turns around holding his chest with his hands and walks right into Ryu who had jumped up into the air and wrapped his legs around the head of Brian with a head scissors before falling backward and flipping Brian over and onto his back with a head scissors take down.

Ryu is up to his feet and has quickly climbed the turnbuckles and stands there before jumping off but Brian is quick to move out of the way and Ryu tucks his legs into his body as he hits the mat with his feet and rolls through before standing and turning around ducking under a closeline attempt from Brian. Brian turns around and is met by Ryu who jumps into the air as he extends his legs connecting to the chest of Brian with a drop kick that sends Brian to the mat. The crowd is cheering as Ryu is up to his feet and waits for Brian to get back up.

Collin:See I told you Brian was underestimating Ryu and should not have gotten so cocky. Just like that Ryu has turned the whole pace of the match around ending it with that beautiful drop kick to the chest of Brian.

Hyperelf:(Hyperelf is seen with his body twitching rapidly for a few seconds before he comes too and speaks)What a rush! You need to try and have a a sugar high like that sometime it is soooooo good. Um yeah I expect this match to be as good as my chocolate covered donuts that should be arriving here in a few minutes.

Brian gets to his feet and rubs his chest as he looks over at Ryu who stands there waiting for Brian. Brian feeling like Ryu is laughing at him charges at Ryu who moves out of the way as he drops to the ground wrapping his legs around the heels of Brian and heel trips him into the turnbuckles the impact causes Brian's eyes to water as his nose makes contact. Brian gets up to his feet and again charges at Ryu who again drops to the ground wrapping his legs around the heels of Brian and heel trips him again to the mat.

Brian gets up and feigns a third time of charging at Ryu which Ryu bites on and drops to the ground only to grab nothing but air. As Ryu stands up to his feet he turns around and has his head almost taken off as he rotates before crashing to the mat from the running closeline by Brian. Brian bends down and picks up Ryu by the back of his head and stands him to his feet. Brian then proceeds to tuck Ryu's head under his right arm pit as he tightens the arm around the neck. Brian proceeds to the take the right arm and tosses it over his shoulder, as he then grabs the tights of Ryu and proceeds to lift Ryu up into the air vertically.

Ryu though shifts his weight and twists his body so that he proceeds to land on his feet behind Brian holding Brian in position with an inverted face lock before falling backwards driving the back of Brian's head to the mat. Again the crowd erupts into a chorus of cheers as Ryu stands on his feet and then reaches over grabbing the right arm of Brian before falling quickly to a sitting position. Ryu proceeds to bend Brian's arm while at the same time reaching through with one of his own arms. Ryu places one of his legs across the Brian's wrist. Ryu pulls up with his arm while forcing Brian's wrist down with the leg applying pressure to Brian's arm and elbow.

Brian is within arms reach and quickly grabs the bottom rope before any serious damage can be done. The ref comes over and tells Ryu that Brian has the bottom rope and Ryu seeing this lets the hold go and stands to his feet as he bends down to pick up Brian by the back of his head and stand him to his feet. Ryu bends Brian down and tucks his head under his left arm pit as he tosses Brian's right arm over his shoulder. Ryu proceeds to grabs the tights of Brian and lifts him up into the air turning ninety degrees before falling backwards on the mat hitting a vertical suplex.

Ryu is quickly up to his feet again as he turns to bend down and pick up Brian by his head. Ryu locks up with Brian and then proceeds to whips Brian into the nearside ropes ducking down to back body drop only to get met by Brian stopping dropping to his back and then hitting Ryu in the jaw with a punch that staggers Ryu backwards as Brian quickly gets up to his feet. Brian charges at Ryu just enough so he can wrap his arms an lock his fingers around the waist of Ryu before lifting Ryu up as he turns his body one hundred and eighty degrees and proceeds to slam the back of Ryu to the mat as Brian's own chest presses against the chest of Ryu who is standing after hitting a belly to belly suplex.

Brian bends down grabbing a hold of Ryu by the back of the head and again stands Ryu to his feet before grabbing Ryu and sending him across the ring again with an irish whip. Brian quickly follows this up again and as he gets close he gets met by Ryu bringing up his boot and making contact to Brian's face. Brian brings his hands up to his face out of instinct as he stumbles back. Ryu continues to stay in the turnbuckles trying to catch his breath as Brian again comes at Ryu only to be met by an elbow to the face that stumbles him back. Ryu with a burst of energy climbs up the ropes and as Brian comes back towards Ryu, Ryu jumps off the top ropes turning his body sideways as he makes contact with Brian sending Brian to the mat from the impact of the cross body. Ryu rolls off of Brian and lays on the mat with him as he tries to catch his breath and get some energy back.

Hyperelf:Wow this has been a great match so far! You got to give credit to Ryu here who so far is keeping up with Brian and even might I say pulling ahead. Ahh! Thank you my good man, I was thinking that these donuts would never get here, A Tip? You want a tip? How about don't take no wooden nickels.

Collins:I have to agree with you Hyper this match so far as been a technical show of prowess between these two superstars. This match has yet to get fully underway and I can not wait to see when this match finely opens up.

[Brian Commonwealth]

OOC: Since I'll be using the outside of the ring a good bit in this post, I am using a drawing of the ring layout to avoid confusion of where Ryu and Brian are at in the match.



Ryu is the first to show movement as he steadily pushes himself to his stomach, then to his hands and knees. Ryu glances over at Brian who is trying to use the ropes to get to his feet as Ryu's stomach is seen moving up and down quickly in exhales and inhales as he still tries to catch his breath. Ryu pushes himself to his feet first though and crouches down behind Brian who still has his back turned. Brian turns around once making it to his feet via the ropes and his gut is immediately met by a right leg Toe Kick from Ryu who explodes from his crouched position. Brian takes the blunt of the kick which doubles him over, but he grabs Ryu's right ankle with both hands nevertheless. Brian lifts up on the right ankle of Ryu, lifting Ryu's right leg higher into the air.

Ryu hops unsteadily on his left leg as long as he can before he finally lowers his left leg and performs a very high jump off of the mat on that leg. Ryu brings his left leg toward the head of Brian in an Enzuigiri attempt, but Brian ducks his head at the last moment. Ryu lands on his left leg which is now on the other side of his right leg which is still being held by Brian as Ryu's stomach is facing this mat. Brian waste no time in moving to the side of Ryu's right leg while still holding Ryu's right ankle with both hands. Brian pulls up on Ryu's right leg throwing Ryu's body off the mat and into the air. Brian then throws down the right ankle of Ryu and Ryu's right knee slams into the mat emitting a loud burst of boos from the crowd. Ryu rolls onto his stomach and holds his right knee with both hands as Brian's arrogant smirk is back on his face as he looks down at his injured prey.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: With that, it seems Brian has taken back control of the match and in the process might have hurt Ryu's right knee. Now, let's see if Brian can capitalize on this moment or if he will become too arrogant once again.

Brian grabs Ryu's right ankle with both hands and quickly pulls him to the middle of ring aggressively. Brian lets go of Ryu's right ankle and bends down, reaching for Ryu's head while he still stands at the base of Ryu's feet. Ryu quickly reaches up and hooks Brian's head in a Front Facelock with his left arm. Ryu rolls back and puts his right leg in between the legs of Brian before pulling back and hooking the right leg of Brian and hooking Brian's left leg with his right arm. Ryu has Brian on his back in a Small Package as the fans have changed to cheering once again and counting along with the ref who has just slid to the mat. The referee brings his right arm down for one, then down for two... Just before the referee slaps the mat in a three count, Brian pushes his legs out explosively breaking the Small Package and sending a large wave a boos and jeers throughout the crowd.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: WOW! We almost had a brand new New Age Champion right there! If Brian would have kicked out a millisecond later, he would have not escaped that pin.

Hyper Elf: Yes, the win was in Ryu's hands. Man this is exciting action, it's getting me more hyper than any donut ever will!

Brian is seen quickly rolling underneath the bottom rope to the outside of the ring, his eyes wide with fear at his near loss. Brian has his hands on his head and his expression suddenly turns to anger at not being able to get the advantage in the match. Brian stomps toward the Southeast corner of the outside of the ring and angrily kicks the steel steps there in a tantrum. Brian takes a few steps back and runs at the steps again, kicking it once more, this time into the timekeepers table. Brian angrily stomps in front of the announcers table on the East side of the ring on the outside. Brian turns to face the ring just as Ryu is seen jumping from the top rope he was balancing himself on. Brian quickly rolls forward, avoiding Ryu who lands directly on his butt sending a shock wave of pain throughout his whole spinal cord.

Brian is on his feet and he goes to pick up Ryu who's fist are clenched as his back is completely straight, his spine still tingling. Brian picks Ryu up and turns Ryu toward him on his way to his feet. Just as Ryu makes it to his feet, he extends and swings his right arm toward the neck of Brian who once again avoids by rolling forward. Ryu stumbles forward and stops himself from falling by placing his left hand on the outside ring apron and holding his lower back with his right hand.

Hyper Elf: Looks like Ryu's lower back is in serious pain after falling straight onto his butt. Now is the time when Brian needs to- HEEY! What's the big idea! Don't squish my delectables!

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: What are you talking about Hy- Wha- WHOA!

The camera switches over to the announcers table to show Colin's chair being pushed to it's side, causing Colin to slide off and and to the ground as Hyper Elf looks on angrily at something behind the announcers table on the ground. Ryu turns around and faces the area where Brian rolled but there is no sign of Brian. Ryu looks to his left and right before looking back at the announcers table, his body language showing he is completely confused. Ryu peers in closer at the announcers table and notices Colin getting off of the ground on the side of the announcers table and Hyper Elf still angrily staring at something on the ground behind the announcers table. Ryu take a few steps forward and finally makes it to the front of the announcers table. Just as Ryu goes to peer over the table behind it, an open box full of jelly-filled donuts are thrown over the table. Ryu catches the box, and peers into the box at the contents inside. Brian is then seen quickly standing up to his feet from behind the announcers table and throws Colin's chair into the box full of jelly-filled donuts Ryu is holding. The box is squished against Ryu's chest from the force of the throw of the chair and Ryu drops the box. Jelly and remnants of the dough of the donuts are seen all over his chest as he looks down in frustration at his chest with jelly and dough all over it.

After a moment of ducking back behind the announcers table, Brian stands up again with two Mountain Dew cans in his hands, shaking each one vigorously. Just as Ryu looks up again, Brian pulls back on the stay-tab opening mechanisms on each can while pointing them at Ryu. Mountain Dew sprays wildly from each can into Ryu's mask and chest. The sticky liquid gets all over Ryu, making his chest even more sticky with jelly, dough, and now Mountain Dew. Brian throws the empty Mountain Dew cans at Ryu before somersaulting over the table and landing on his feet in front of Ryu on the other side as Hyper just misses lunging for him at the last moment. Ryu looks up realizing someone is front of him and jumps a little bit at the sudden presence of Brian. Brian has his left hand on the chest of Ryu which Ryu looks down at opening a childish slap onto Ryu's face with Brian's free right hand. Brian runs away giggling like a school girl as Ryu turns around in rage with clenched fist and an intimidating, angry stance as his eyes burn a hole through Brian who a few feet away has his thumbs on his cheeks and is making raspberry noises at Ryu. Ryu sprints toward Brian, but Brian merely dives underneath the ring apron to underneath the ring on the North side of the ring. Ryu gets there and checks under the ring apron but sees nothing. Ryu turns around and kicks the barrier in frustration before quickly turning around and rolling into the ring underneath the bottom rope as the referee is now to a count of six.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: Test, test... CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT! BRIAN RUNNING AND PLAYING GAMES! Dumping me out of my chair, leaving Ryu in a mess. THIS is our champion! He's like a little schoolyard prankster! What a joke!

Hyper Elf: RAWR! RAWR! RAWR! THAT BASTARD! HE WASTED MY JELLY-FILLED DONUTS AND MY MOUNTAIN DEW! HE'LL PAY FOR THIS!

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: I don't know what the big idea is, but if this is a plan to get Ryu off of his game, I think it's working. Look, Ryu's fuming!

Ryu stands in the ring violently shaking in anger as he tries wiping some of the Mountain Dew, jelly, and dough off only to make himself stickier and more of a mess. Ryu and the referee both face the North side of the outside of the ring as the referee is now to the count of eight. The wide-view angle of the camera on the ring picks up Brian crawling out from the South end from underneath the ring. Brian quickly slides into the ring underneath the bottom ropes after making it to his feet. Brian quickly hops to his feet and rushes toward Ryu who still has his back turned. Just as Brian gets to Ryu, he drops to his knees and drives his left shoulder into the back of Ryu's right knee in a Chop Block. The referee abruptly stops at the count of nine as he realizes Brian is now back in the ring. Ryu is on his right knee and Brian quickly slaps him in the back of his head before runnings toward the West end ropes and sliding underneath them, quickly rolling underneath the apron to underneath the ring once on the outside.

Ryu slams his fist against the mat several times in rage as he gets to his feet and storms over to the ropes on the West side along with the referee who starts the count again. Ryu quickly turns around though and goes back over to the East ropes and looks on the outside of the ring on that side, awaiting Brian as the referee stays on the West side counting. At the count of four, Brian is seen getting out from underneath the ring on the West side, the same side he went underneath the ring to begin with. Brian gets to his feet and rolls into the ring breaking the count-out. Brian makes it to his feet and begins running toward Ryu who realizes the count-out has stopped and has turned around. Before Ryu can do anything to react, Brian throws his body forward and to the ground, his right shoulder connecting with a Spear to Ryu's right leg which send Ryu forward onto his stomach. Brian once again waste no time in rolling underneath the East ring ropes to the outside and once on the outside, back underneath the ring again.

Hyper Elf: This is ridiculous! Fight like a man champ! What loser! I hope Ryu kicks his ass once he gets his hands on him.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: Well, I've thought it over, and though I don't like how Brian dumped me out of my seat and I don't necessarily agree with what he's doing, it's working. I guess you can call these attacks a guerrilla tactic. He's making these attacks and getting inside of Ryu's head while doing it. I mean, isn't a champion about adapting to situations and coming out on top? To any degree, Ryu needs to find a way out of Brian's traps and tricky ways if he wants a chance at beating Brian.

Ryu rolls underneath the bottom rope on the East side of the ring and shakes his hurt right leg a few time to get some motion back in his right knee. Ryu begins storming counter clockwise around the ring in search of Brian, ignoring warnings and the counts of the referee. Ryu circles the ring two times and looks to show no intention of stopping until he finds Brian. On the South end of the ring, Brian can be seen crawling out from underneath the ring as Ryu is now on the opposite side on the North end. Brian doesn't stand to his feet, but rather crouches low so that his back is never raised above the ring apron so that he won't be seen. Ryu is walking on the West side on the outside of the ring, and just as he cuts the corner to walk on the South side of the ring, his head is almost taken off by Brian who explodes from his crouching position and lands a decapitating clothesline on Ryu who's body does a complete backflip in the air before landing on his stomach. Brian turns around and quickly rolls into the ring underneath the bottom rope on the South side as the count is now to the count of six. Once on his feet, Brian walks across the ring and then sits on his butt, resting against the turnbuckle on the Northeast side of the ring once there. Brian is relaxing, waiting for the count-out with a sneaky grin on his face.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: That was a very powerful clothesline, he almost took Ryu's head off. Ryu has been completely broken down and taken off of his game by Brian, he isn't even moving. The champ might win by count-out.

Hyper Elf: GET UP RYU! GET UP AND WHOOP THAT DONUT STEALING, MOUNTAIN DEW WASTING PIECE OF SHIT!

Ryu is seen on the outside pushing himself to his hands and knees with his head down. His head is shaking back and forth slowly as he seems completely distracted with no focus anymore as Brian still sits on his butt in the Northeast corner with a sneaky, satisfied grin on his face.

TBCB Ryu

[Hayabusa]

Ryu rolls under the bottom ring rope and stands up leaning against the ropes as the ref has stopped his count at nine. Brian stands up leaning against the turnbuckles and smirks as he and the crowd see Ryu's body covered in jelly and soda. Ryu sees Brian in the corner and begins to make his way towards him as Brain waits there as if not seeing Ryu make his way toward him. Ryu walks to the middle of the ring still looking at Brian the mask concealing his reaction but his body language showing that he was not amused by the actions.

Ryu bursts quickly from the middle of the ring running right at Brian who sees this drops onto his belly rolling underneath the ropes and standing on the outside as Ryu doesn't stop but instead climbs up standing on the middle turnbuckles as he looks down at a smiling Brian. Ryu jumps down and turns his back on Brian who continues to stand and smiles as he stands on the northern side of the ring near the turnbuckles.

Ryu quickly turns around and runs before baseball sliding under the bottom rope. Brian quickly moves out of the way as Ryu stands up on the apron he runs towards Brian who looks like a deer caught in the head lights as Ryu jumps off the apron wrapping his legs around the neck of Brian with a head scissors and performs a backflip as he drags Brian into a forced Somersault that throws Brian near the barricade as he lands on his back. The crowd cheers at the move as the Ref begins the ten count. Ryu quickly stands up as a dazed Brian reaches over to grab the barricade and pull himself up. Ryu pulls back and releases a forearm shot right as Brian turns around catching Brian in the right side of his face and turning his head.

Ryu grabs Brain by the head in a head lock and walks with him to the ring apron where he lets go of the head lock and grabs Brian by the back of the head and rams his head into the ring apron. Ryu grabs Brian by the back of the head once again and rams it into the ring apron. The ref has gotten his count to seven as Ryu rolls Brian under the bottom rope and back into the ring. Ryu jumps onto the apron grabbing the top rope and slingshots up into the air and over the top rope flipping over so that his back lands on Brian as Ryu rolls through and stands up his back to Brian as he crouches down real low and springs himself up into the air turning his body one hundred and eighty degrees before pulling off one full rotation and half of another rotation and lands on top of Brian as the crowd erupts into an That was Awesome!(clapx2, stompx3) That was Awesome!(clapx2, stompx3) That was Awesome!(clapx2, stompx3) chant. Ryu lays across Brian his sticky body mixing in with the sweat on Brian's body as the ref drops to the mat and begins the count.

Hyperelf:What the hell was that? I am sorry Collins but I had my head down as I was looking into the box of donuts. What did I miss? I mean I see Brian on his back and Ryu has him covered for the pin.

Collins:What a move by Ryu to hit what looked like as can only be described as a standing Phoenix Splash. Ryu with the cover as this could it be it...One!...TWO! Thr....No! Brian just gets his shoulder up before the three count.

Ryu gets off of Brian as sweat and stickiness now covers both of there chests. Ryu bends down grabbing Brian by the back of the head as he pulls him to a sitting position while still being bent over. Ryu proceeds to pull Brian up to his feet and brings him to a standing position before then pushing into his chest with his shoulder as he grabs the right arm and pulls as he turns his body irish whipping him towards the southeast turnbuckles. Brian lands into the turnbuckles and his feet kick out as he is still supported by the turnbuckles.

Ryu charges across the ring at Brian who remains dazed in the corner. Ryu proceeds to jump into the air as Brian at the last second brings his hands up and has them between Ryu's legs and continues to lift his arms up as he ducks down, causeing Ryu to jump over Brian and land on the top rope facing away from Brian. Brian leans against the ropes and before Ryu can get his balance his legs give way and he crotches himself on the top ropes and falls backward into a tree of woe position.

Collins:This can not be good for Ryu who is upside down in the dangerous Tree of Woe which Brian I am sure will take full advantage of.

Hyperelf:That looks like it hurt, I mean losing one's balance like that it almost made me lose my donuts. Brian sees the predicament and this don't look good for Ryu. Pass the Yohoo so I can wash these donuts down.

Brian looks and sees Ryu hanging upside down in a tree of woe and turns facing the helpless Ryu before driving a boot into the gut of Ryu that is followed up by several more boots to the gut. Brian then turns and runs several paces away before turning around and running right at Ryu before jumping up into the air as he tucks in his legs so his knees are out and hits the chest of Ryu with both of his knees. The impact causes Ryu to scream in pain as he legs are bent uncomfortably.

Brian smiles as Ryu is still in the Tree of Woe. Brian reaches up and grabs the legs of Ryu and lifts them off the turnbuckles and throws him forward so Ryu hits the mat front side first. Brian stands over Ryu who is still on his stomach as he lifts his arms up into the air and then brings them down making an X as he thrusts his hips outward. The crowd boos as Brian then stands to the side and rolls Ryu over onto his back. Brian drops down to cover Ryu placing his chest across the chest of Ryu as the ref drops down to make the count Brian places his feet on the second rope for leverage. The refs hand comes down once, the hand goes up into the air and comes down twice, the hand goes up and is on the way down as Ryu just rolls the shoulder enough to break the count with the refs hand mere inches from the mat for a three count.

Hyperelf:Did you see that? Brian had his feet on the ropes as he tried to win this match. Ryu just barely kicked out though. Brian I think may begin to get frustrated as he can not put Ryu away.

Collins:I think it would have been a travesty of justice if Brian had won this match via cheating.

Brian slaps the mat in frustration as he gets up and turns to face the ref and begins to berate him for what he feels was a slow count. Ryu lies there his chest is moving up and down and his body is aching as he tries to bring into focus where he is at and what he is going to do. Ryu is looking up at the lights of arena through his mask as he hears Brian yelling off to his left. Ryu continues to lie there grateful that he can get some energy gathered as well as let some of the pain subside from his chest. Brian satisfied turns around and bends down picking up Ryu by the back of the mask standing him to his feet.

Brian locks on a front faclock with his right arm as his left arm hooks the right leg of Ryu. Brian proceeds to lift Ryu up into a vertical position while then falling backwards onto his back as he drives Ryu's head down onto the mat. Brian again turns over and makes the cover on Ryu as the ref again drops to the mat and raises his hand up once and brings it down as the crowd counts along. Raises the hand up twice before slapping the mat for the two count. Raises the hand up for a third time and as he brings it out Ryu kicks out again at two and three quarters.

Collins:Wow! The match appeared to be over right there but Ryu was able to kick out before the three count. I think Ryu maybe getting tired as he has not really paced himself this match where as Brian seems to be still full of energy.

Brian slaps the mat in frustration as he again gets up and begins to berate the ref who he thinks is counting slower and needs to count faster. Brian and the ref appear to be getting into a serious shouting match with each other as Ryu has rolled over onto his stomach and is able to with effort push himself up to his feet as he falls into the turnbuckles.

Brian is seen poking the the refs chest with his index finger which causes the ref to tell Brian to knock that off or he will disqualify him and award the match to Ryu. Brian throws his hands up in the air turning around and seeing Ryu leaning against the turnbuckles using them as support. Brian smiles as he begins to runs towards Ryu and lowers his shoulder as he gets closer. Ryu though moves out of the way as Brian ends up driving his shoulder into the metal ring post. Brian comes out between the second and first turnbuckle holding his arm shoulder with his arm.

Ryu kicks Brian doubling him over as he proceeds to apply an inverted facelock while spinning under Brian continuing to keep the facelock, twisting Brian into a cutter position before spinning in the opposite direction over Brian as he racks the jaw of Brian against his shoulder. Ryu gets up and picks up Brian by the back of the head and grabs his arm whipping him into the turnbuckles, Ryu then proceeds to run toward Brian but instead of jumping and stepping into his chest Ryu slides under the bottom ropes and stands on the outside apron.

Brian stumbles out of the corner still feeling dazed holding his shoulder. Brian turns as Ryu pulls himself up onto the rope and jumps off wrapping his legs around the neck of Brian as he spins with the head scissors taking the right arm and planting Brian head first with a single arm DDT, Ryu proceeds to lie across Brians back at a ninety degree angle, putting his weight on Brian to prevent him from moving as Ryu hooks the arm and pulls back into his body stretching the forearms, biceps and pectoral muscles. Brian screams in pain as the pain shoots through the arm and the shoulder that was damaged when he rammed his shoulder into the steep post.

Hyperelf:That has to hurt looks like Ryu is trying to really take advantage of that injured shoulder. I know that can not feel good having been a Fighty fighty person once myself. But would you like some of these small hundred grand bars?

Collins:No thanks Hyper, but That is a painful looking hold. Will this be the hold that makes Brian tap?

The ref drops down and asks Brian if he wants to give. Brian is screaming in pain and gritting through his teeth that he will not give up. Ryu continues to hold the fujiwara armbar feeling the strength in his body being sapped as he holds the move. Brian continues to fight the pain in his shoulder the burn is causing him to close his eyes as it feels like that shoulder and arm are on fire. Ryu feeling his strength sapped lets go fo the fujiwara armbar and falls to the mat as Brian rolls onto his back holding the arm and shoulder as the fire feeling begins to subside.

Collins:Wow! Brian survived and didn't give up. I think if Ryu would have not spent himself earlier in the match I think he could have won the match right there.

The ref looks down at both men on the mat neither one is moving to get up. The ref bends down to check on Brian who is still holding his arm which almost appears to be dislocated from the shoulder. Brian grabs the ref by the shirt and then pushes him away as Brian finds the effort to turn himself over onto his stomach. Ryu rolls over and gets himself to his hands and knees as he gasps for air, Ryu continues to look down at the mat the sweat drips off and makes splatter patterns. The sticky feeling on Ryu's body is not as thick or nasty as it was but there are still some residue.

Brian finds the effort to roll out of the ring and stands on his feet holding the shoulder that appears to be dislocated. Brian makes his way to one of the metal posts on the outside as the ref looks on in wonderment as the crowd doesn't know what is going on either. Brian grits his teeth as he runs into the metal ring post screaming as the shoulder refuses to pop into place. Brian backs up and grits his teeth again as he runs into the ring post with his dislocated shoulder screaming with even more pain as the shoulder pops into place.

Collins:That looked painful. Did you see the way that Brian popped his shoulder back into place? My joints ache just from looking at that.

The crowd flinches as the ref turns his head. Brian stands there as he is not sure if it was such a smart idea to that or not. Ryu has made it to his feet and seeing Brian not paying attention runs towards the turnbuckles climbing up them while still in motion jumping off them and twisting his body like a corkscrew while rotating one full rotation and half of another as Brian looks up and can not get out of the way as Ryu crashes into Brian sending both superstars to the ground outside as Ryu connects with the corkscrew four fifty. The crowd chants and cheers as both Fighty fighty persons lie on the ground outside as the ref runs over and looking out begins to look around before starting the standing ten count as the crowd counts along.

TBC

[Brian Commonwealth]

The two men lay on the West side of the outside of the ring in front of the ramp for a couple of moments before Ryu, who is already on his stomach, begins pushing himself to his feet. As Ryu makes it to his feet, Brian begins stirring as well before eventually grabbing the cloth of the the ring skirt and pulling himself up by that using his good arm. Just as Brian makes it to his feet and leaning forward on the ring apron for support on the outside, Ryu has already made it to his feet and slams his interlaced locked hands into the upper back of Brian in a Double Axe Handle. Brian's body shoots up out of a combination of surprise and pain and he faces Ryu only to be met with a Double Axe Handle from Ryu over Brian's head this time.

Brian stumbles back toward the South side barrier as Ryu turns around and begins walking toward the steels steps on the outside of the Northwest corner with something in mind as he completely disregards Brian. Brian sees this and stops himself from stumbling, gritting his teeth in the process before quickly walking toward Ryu. Brian sets his left arm on the left shoulder of Ryu and turns Ryu around only for Ryu to quickly bring his right boot up into the stomach of Brian in a Toe Kick. For the second time in the match though, Brian takes the full force of the kick but grabs Ryu's ankles with both hands. Ryu has his back faced to the Northwest steel steps, and Brian is quick to take notice of that. Ryu begins bringing up his left boot up toward the chest of Brian to kick him away. With no support underneath him now, Brian quickly lets go of Ryu's ankle with his right hand and catches the left foot of Ryu before throwing his arms up with both of Ryu's ankles in his hands. Ryu does a complete back flip before landing stomach-first on the steel steps. The move happened so fast it takes the fans a moment to realize what has happened before they erupt in a wave of boos throughout the arena.

Brian quickly rolls underneath the bottom West ropes into the ring and back out again to restart the count-out before he makes his way toward Ryu who is on his back near the Northwest barrier holding his stomach in pain. Brian waste no time in bending over and cradling Ryu's head to lift him to his feet. Ryu vainly tries to sustain any potential attack from Brian by delivering Forearm Clubs to the stomach of Brian. The Forearm Clubs of Ryu seem to actually make their effect known as Brian's mid-section is seen moving farther and farther away from Ryu to get away from him. Brian is seen coughing and just when it seems Ryu is going to break his head free of Brian's grasp, Brian jumps into the air while still holding Ryu's head. While in the air, Brian brings his knees up so they are right next to his stomach and he looks like a giant egg. As Brian falls to the ground, he brings Ryu's head down with him and Ryu's head slams right into the knees of Brian instantly shooting Ryu's head and body back and to the ground from the equal shock and pain.

Brian rolls over onto his stomach and pushes himself to his feet before turning and setting his sights on Ryu once more with a grimace on his face from the pain in his back now after falling on the ground. Brian bends over once more and grabs Ryu's head with his right hand and Ryu's left arm with his left hand. Brian persuades Ryu to his feet finally, and then turns around so that Brian and Ryu face the steel steps Ryu fell stomach-first on earlier. Brian then runs forward a couple of steps before releasing Ryu, launching Ryu crown-first into the top section of the steel steps which topple off, leaving Ryu laying on the bottom section.

Brian grabs Ryu's ankles and pulls him back a bit so that only Ryu's head lays on the bottom layer of steel steps. Brian places Ryu's head on the edge of the steel steps where it touches the ring skirt. Brian walks around the bottom layer of steel steps and gets the top layer of the steel steps, heaving them back on top of the bottom layer, trapping Ryu's head between the top layer of the steel steps and the ring skirt. Brian walks back around so that he is facing the steels steps and rears back before slamming his boot into the top layer of the steel steps which in turn slams Ryu's head sending a vibration motion from the shock through the body of Ryu as Brian shows off an evil smirk.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: That's not the first time we've seen Brian implement that move as he used the exact same move in his match against Emblem a couple of weeks ago on Tuesday Night Triumph, which he won.

Hyper Elf: Yes, and it looked even more deadly this time just because of how impressive this match has been so far. Though it isn't looking that great for Ryu right now. I don't even think Ryu should have brought the match to the outside to begin with as Brian is very deadly on the outside.

Brian realizes the count-out from the referee has reached a higher single digit number and he quickly rolls into the ring underneath the near North side ropes before rolling right back to the outside once again restarting the count. Brian grabs the left ankle of Ryu and yanks back, pulling Ryu's head from between the ring skirt and the top section of the steel steps. Brian doesn't waste time and he quickly grabs Ryu's head with both of his hands and lifts Ryu to his feet. Brian grabs Ryu's right wrist with both hands and then pulls back, Irish Whipping Ryu into the Northeast barrier corner near the announcers table. Ryu slides to the ground seemingly barely conscious, but Brian quickly pulls Ryu to his feet and puts Ryu's arms behind the barrier so that he will stay on his feet. Brian quickly walks toward the ring and jumps onto the North outside ring apron before climbing the Northeast turnbuckle, making his way to the top.

Brian stands on the top turnbuckle a moment looking down at Ryu in the barrier corner on the outside still being held up by his own arms. The tension in the arena builds along with manic cheers as they feel a huge move is about to happen. Finally, Brian leaps off of the top turnbuckle toward Ryu sending a burst of loud cheers throughout the crowd. Just as Brian descends upon Ryu, Ryu straightens up his stance and braces his body as he puts his arms up. Brian falls directly onto Ryu's shoulders, and Ryu is able to hold his stance while holding Brian in a Powerbomb position. Ryu's legs wobble below him as he turns around and puts both hands underneath the butt of Brian. Ryu then lifts his arms up and stands on his toes before slamming Brian back-first onto the top of the barrier in a Elevated Powerbomb sending a burst of cheers throughout the crowd and a loud, painful scream from Brian.

Many of the male ringside fans quickly rush upon the much hated Brian and surprisingly begin beating up on his upper body while pulling down on Brian's head. Brian's legs kick on the other side of the barrier. Ryu hooks Brian's ankles in his arms on either side of him. Finally, Ryu jumps into the air, and wraps his legs around the lower stomach area of Brian mid-air. The Laws of Physics play their part, and Ryu comes sailing back to the ground, but he has a Boston Crab on Brian which is keeping him from falling on the ground with Brian's stomach in a Leg Scissors as the fans pull down on Brian's head on the other side.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: Holy *censored*! Look at how Brian's body is bent! He looks like he's in a complete U position upside down. Ryu has that Boston Crab with the Leg Scissors hooked in on one side of the barrier as the fans pull down on Brian's head and upper body on the other side with the barrier as the breaking point in Brian's back. I can't even begin to imagine how painful this is!

Brian's arms wave wildly before he eventually starts making contact with some of the male fans. Eventually, Brian goes in a rage with his arms as he swings wildly at all of them around his upper body from upside down. Brian is connecting with stiff punches to them all, and the eccentric young men eventually flee from the area. Brian does a sit-up, in the process letting out a tortured scream. With no weight on the other side of Brian's body, Ryu falls crown-first into the ground and then onto his stomach while still holding the Boston Crab and Leg Scissors on Brian. This in turn catapults Brian face and chest into the ground on the outside of the ring. Ryu lets go of the Boston Crab and Leg Scissors and rolls to his stomach while holding the back of his neck with both hands while Brian lays on his stomach, his body shaking from the pain running throughout it. The referee is to the count of eight, and neither men show signs of getting up any time soon, making for a very stiff predicament.

Hyper Elf: Well it does look like this match will end by count-out, and that's really a shame. These two went at it all match and I wish it could have ended another way.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: I have to agree partner. It's too bad that this match couldn't end inside of the ring with a pin or submission. This could have been one for the ages too. It's really a shame that-

As the referee reaches nine, the lights in the arena go out to be replaced by maroon spotlights wildly shooting around the entire arena with the heavy riffs of "The Profit of Doom" by Type O Negative evilly blare deafeningly throughout the entire arena. Suddenly, a blinding spotlight is cast upon the referee in the ring who is looking toward the entrance. The spotlight is so bright, the referee cannot even stand to keep his eyes open as he cast his arms over his eyes.

Goodbye cruel world

The beat of the song increases along with the first strand of lyrics in the song as Reverend Vortigern steps out onto the entrance stage laughing wickedly with both arms in the air, his cane high in the air in his right hand as he seems to embrace the deafening boos throughout the entire arena.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: What the Hell is going on! We were about to witness the ending to this match, and Vortigern shows up! I understand he's the leader of Stone Orchard and all, but does he have to show up in ALL of Brian's matches!?

Hyper Elf: I can see how you can be angry with this, but I believe he can. I mean, he's gotten away with it thus far, and who exactly is going to stop him!? Stone Orchard was probably the greatest stable we've ever witnessed until Desperado departed GHW and Matthew Oliveira quit. Still though, Vortigern has the most influential and powerful champion in GHW in the palm of his hands and the former Television Champion as well in Metal Dragon. Also, they have the new and sickly vicious Damien Kain on their side as well.

Of this shape a star of five
Also applies to the one with six sides
Against the sun and against the moon
I warn you that these two combined
Will bring man's doom
Of ten horns and seven heads
Count your fingers and the continents
On your head or in you right hand
This new moral code that the media commands

Vortigern begins walking down the ramp toward the ring eccentrically shouting his own crazed, mind boggling pastures that protrude from his abstract mind as he wildly points the cane at the referee in the ring who is still blinded by the spotlight. Vortigern finally makes it to the outside of the ring on the West side. Vortigern waits a moment before he brings his cane high into the air and points it at the ring shouting, "BOOM!", in the process. A moment later, fire erupts from the top of all four turnbuckle post making the illumination in the ring brighter than before. Vortigern laughs wickedly once more before rolling into the ring underneath the bottom rope and standing in the ring, raising his arms high into the air, causing the fire emitting from the turnbuckles to burn even higher.

On the outside of the ring, Metal Dragon and Damien Kain are seen coming out of nowhere jumping the barricade. They are both bloody and bruised from their matches earlier in the night, but they both waste no time in quickly attacking Ryu as they stomp, punch, kick, Elbow Drop, and viciously assault Ryu in each and every way as Brian lean against the North barrier on his butt smiling wickedly at what has transpired as he catches his breath and soaks in energy to cope with the pain and damage that's been inflicted upon him throughout the match.

Inside of the ring, Vortigern is now near the East ropes and reaches through the middle and top rope to take a microphone away from Charlie Coors with his free hand. With his cane in one hand, and a microphone in the other, Vortigern raises his cane and slams it down against the mat once, immediately stopping the fire from coming out of the turnbuckle posts and the music stopping. The lights still stay dimmed with maroon beams still wildly waving throughout the arena, the referee on his back still blinded by the spotlight which has only grown brighter, Damien Kain and Metal Dragon viciously attacking Ryu on the outside of the ring, and the deafening boos and jeers from the crowd which drown out all other sounds except for Vortigern over the microphone.

Reverend Vortigern: AH MR. REFEREE! THOUGHT YOU WERE CLEVER DIDN'T YOU! TRIED TO FOOL US WITH A RUE! You are sadly mistaken you kindled miscreant for your eyes are now shackled by this ball and chain I lace around your eyes! You thought you could for see the future of this! Both men so berated and left broken by their own willpower that there would be naught all abroad! NOTHING! HENCE, and THEREFORE! THIS! THIS Orchard I replant is the soul foundry of my stone heart and I shout upon you! SEE THE LIGHT!

Revered raises both arms into the air once again and four other spotlights suddenly shine upon the referee, all equally as bright as the first one as the referee tries rolling away from them, but they follow. Reverend Vortigern laughs wickedly before heading toward the ropes on the East side of the ring.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: Why is it that everything this man says goes straight over my head!? I can't seem to comprehend anything this maniac says at ANY time!

Hyper Elf: You're not alone Colin, so why don't you just do what I do?

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: And what is it you do Hyper?

Hyper Elf: EAT MORE DONUTS! *The munching of sweets and slurping of soft drinks can be heard*

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: In any event, this- WAIT A SECOND! THAT'S DAMIEN KAIN AND METAL DRAGON! I didn't even see them until now! Get out of here, we've already had Vortigern come in and disrupt this match, and now these two are attacking Ryu, give me a break! Wait, what is Vortigern doing?

The camera switch to the announcers table and timekeepers table to show Vortigern viciously swinging his cane across the head of the male timekeeper, instantly knocking the man out as he falls to the ground. Vortigern straightens out his suit and sits in the timekeepers chair in front of the bell on the timekeepers table. Vortigern then places a spare head set on his head and adjust the microphone before speaking into it.

Reverend Vortigern: I'm simply enjoying myself to the accommodations of this gem of a match my child!

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: Yeah well... Your Stone Orchard members are really ruining it for me and I know they're ruining it for some of the fans at home! Why can't they just stay out of it!? This was a great match until you and your "disciples" got involved!

Reverend Vortigern: Foolish boy! This match would have ceased to exist at this moment if it were not for I! You ignoramus, how dare you questions the intentions of I or my Stone Orchard! Everything we do has purpose and plan. Now hush and watch the match foolish child.

The camera switches over to show Damien Kain and Metal Dragon holding Ryu in the Northeast barrier corner, taking turns deliver Elbow Smashes to his face and knees to his stomach. Ryu is now bleeding from his mouth and parts of his body is cut and bloody from the attacks inflicted by Damien and Metal Dragon. Brian has finally made it to his feet and looks to be much healthier than before as he slowly stalks his way over to the beat down in the barrier corner. Brian then puts each of his hand on the shoulders of Damien and Metal Dragon, and mutters something to them. Damien and Metal Dragon quickly nod their head and they each then grab a wrist of Ryu with both of their hands: Damien of Ryu's right side, Metal Dragon on Ryu's left side. They then begin walking away on opposites side, pulling Ryu's arms out farther and farther. Ryu's head then pops up and he begins screaming in pain and his arms are pulled farther apart from his body with Brian screaming madly.

"THAT'S RIGHT! RIP HIS ARMS OFF! TORTURE HIM LIKE HE HAS TORTURED HIM! MAKE HIM FEEL! MAKE HIM TASTE! MAKE HIM HEAR HIS SCREAMS! LET HIM LIVE THE PAIN I HAVE!"

Brian slowly walks up to Ryu who is now screaming ceaselessly as his arms are slowly pulled farther and even farther apart as he feels like his arms are being ripped off his body. Brian then raises his right arm and points to his former dislocated right shoulder with his left hand before bring his right arm in close to his body, and then back slapping Ryu right across his mask which sends Ryu's head to the side, pointed down. Brian then walks back many steps until he is standing in the Northwest barrier corner. Finally, Brian sprints toward Ryu and just as he gets there, Brian lowers his shoulder and wraps his arms around the waist of Ryu delivering a Spear with such impact that it pushes both men back and through the barrier behind them, breaking it underneath the pressure.

Brian lays upon the chest of Ryu, both of them laying still from the shell shock of the devastating Spear. Damien Kain and Metal Dragon quickly pick up Brian from on top of Ryu and both try and bring him to the ring. Once there, they roll him into the ring under the bottom rope before both patting him on the back. They then turn around and go back to Ryu who lays still on his back. They jerk him to his feet before they lift him into the air in a Military Press position above their heads. They walk with him like this above them toward the ring. Once there, they throw him over the top rope where he lands with a thud in the ring, completely still.

Metal Dragon and Damien Kain then turn toward Reverend Vortigern who merely nods his head at them. They quickly make their ways to the broken barrier section and walk through the crowd toward backstage.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: So Reverend! What's the plan now? You've have your disciples come out and do their dirty work and now-

Reverend Vortigern: Silence fool!

The clicking of Vortigern's cane can then be heard hitting the ground below and all of the spotlights shining on the referee suddenly turn off as the arena is fully illuminated again. Inside of the ring, the referee is seen on his back rubbing his eyes as Brian pushes himself to his feet. Once on his feet, Brian groggily shakes the cobwebs from his head and makes his way toward Ryu who lays on his stomach in the middle of the ring.

Brian seems to be in no hurry as he slowly bends over and grabs the head of Ryu with both hands, slowly lifting the barely conscious Ryu to his feet. Brian tilts Ryu's head up and laughs menacingly before he kicks Ryu in his stomach, doubling him over. Brian places both of his arms underneath the arms of Ryu, underhooking them. Brian then arches backward, throwing Ryu over him and Ryu landing on his back in a sick Double Underhook Suplex.

Reverend Vortigern: EXCELLENT! THE BUTTERFLY EFFECT! Beautiful name for such a beautiful move. NOW FINISH HIM!

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: You've got to be kidding me...

Brian slowly gets off of his back, and makes it to his feet. Brian turns around and once more picks up Ryu by his head with both hands. Once Brian has Ryu on his feet, Brian laughs menacingly once more before placing Ryu's head underneath his right arm, then hooking Ryu's head. Brian then places his head underneath the right arm of Ryu. From here, Brian lifts Ryu into the air and keeps him there for a good while, sending the blood to Ryu's head. Brian walks forward a few steps, and then falls straight to his back at an angle, sending Ryu's head crown-fist into the mat in a sick looking Spike Brainbuster.

Reverend Vortigern: MAGNUM OPUS! MARVELOUS! YOUR WINNER AND STILL NEW AGE CHAMPION, BRIAN COMMONWEALTH! BWA HAH HAH HAH HAH HAH!

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: Don't count on it so so Vortigern! This match isn't over yet!

Hyper Elf: *Slurps down soda pop* I hate to say it Colin, but it pretty much is. There's no way that anyone, nonetheless Ryu can escape the inevitable defeat now after all he's been through in this match. *Gobbles down more donuts*

Brian stands over the lifeless body of Ryu with a relieved, triumphant, exhausted look on his face. Brian then raises his arms high into the air to signify his inevitable victory. Brian then looks down at Ryu one last time and then quickly mounts Ryu's chest. Brian doesn't use this as a pin though, he instead begins slapping Ryu across his face while shouting vulgarities and racial slurs at him loud enough for the camera to pick up. Brian slaps Ryu countless times before picking up his head and shoving it against the mat.

Brian dismounts Ryu's chest and stands beside the fallen body before slowly turning his head toward the crowd with another twisted smile on his face. Brian then walks toward the Southwest turnbuckle corner, and slowly makes his way up it. Brian stands on the second turnbuckle pad looking out to the booing and jeering crowd. Brian then makes his hands into a fist and begins pointing to himself with his thumbs, making the volume of boos and jeers in the arena even louder.

After a long while of celebrating his pre-mature victory much to the fan's displeasure, Brian's eyes suddenly become wide and glassy as his arms drop to his side as he stands on the second turnbuckle, awestruck as he looks toward the entrance stage. On the entrance stage stands none other than Hawkeye which sends a massive amount of cheers throughout the entire arena which replace the booing. Hawkeye has a disappointed smirk on his face with his arms cross as he looks at Brian celebrating and Ryu laying lifeless.

Brian shakes his head and disbelief and frustration as he quickly hops down from the second turnbuckle and rushes toward Ryu who still lays unmoving in the middle of the ring. Brian falls to the mat and hooks Ryu's left leg in a weak pin as he keeps his eyes on Hawkeye who stands on the ramp the whole time. The referee has gotten his vision back by this time and he hits the mat, bringing his hand down for the first count... the second count... but Ryu surprisingly kicks out before the referee brings his hand down for the third count. Brian quickly stands to his feet and walks next to the West ring ropes, pointing at Hawkeye and yelling something at him from the ring.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: WOW! I guess Brian shouldn't have spent all that time pre-maturely celebrating, giving time for Ryu too rest. As well as him being distracted by Hawkeye's special appearance. It looks like Hawkeye has something to say though.

Reverend Vortigern: What is that vagabond doing out here!? The dementias fool should be backstage making his little matches and fo-

The voice of Reverend Vortigern is suddenly interrupted by the angry voice of Hawkeye who's voice booms throughout the entire arena.

Hawkeye: I have to say I'm quite disgusted at what has gone on here tonight... There are so many things to say about this situation that it's ridiculous, but this match has already been interrupted enough by fools and pets, so I'll just state my purpose for being out here. Reverend Vortigern, you and the rest of Stone Orchard are hereby BANNED FROM RINGSIDE for the duration of this match. This is the final decision, there will be no sway in this decision.

Hawkeye smirks a bit and lowers the microphone as he watches Brian and Vortigern equally freak out.

Reverend Vortigern: WHAT!? HOW DARE HE DO THIS! TUESDAY NIGHT TRIUMPH! NAY! GHW WOULD BE NOTHING WITHOUT ME OR STONE ORCHARD! THIS WINNER WILL PAY FOR THIS! BY THE BOOK OF THE ORCHARD I SWEAR THIS FOOL WILL PAY FOR THIS DECISION!

Reverend Vortigern throws his head set to the ground causing an electrical crackle in the audio before he angrily stands to his feet and begins stomping around the ring. Brian tries many times to talk Vortigern out of leaving, but Vortigern simply ignores him as he has no choice. Vortigern makes his way to the ramp, stomping and stamping his way up there with his eyes red with rage while he points his cane at Hawkeye and shouts more prophecies and fake scriptures at him crazily. Vortigern makes it to Hawkeye and continues his berating before Hawkeye merely slaps him across his face and kicks his hand out of his hand. Vortigern stands shocked for a moment before becoming even more enraged. Hawkeye merely smirks at him through the mask and Vortigern becomes even more enraged as he picks up his cane and storms backstage cursing Hawkeye. Brian still stands next to West ring ropes in a fit of rage as he also shouts vulgarities and racial slurs at Hawkeye. Hawkeye merely responds by raising the microphone.

Hawkeye: I recommend you turn around, Brian.

Brian looks on confused at Hawkeye before his eyes squeeze shut tight and he mutters two distinct words.

"Aw, shit..."

Brian is suddenly dropkicked from behind which pushes him against the ropes. Brian stumbles backward when his waist is suddenly wrapped from behind by Ryu who quickly snaps his hips backward performing a German Suplex. Ryu doesn't release the waistlock though, but he keeps it as he makes it to his feet once more, pulling Brian up to his feet as well. Ryu backs up so that his back is a little ways in front of the West side ring ropes. Ryu throws his weight back once more and brings Brian back as well. Mid-suplex, Brian's back hits the top rope with such kinetic energy, it bounces him forward with Ryu holding on, and Brian's face slams into the mat. Ryu makes it to his feet yet against and brings Brian up to his feet again as well. Ryu keeps the waistlock on Brian from behind in the middle of the ring with his back facing the Southwest turnbuckle. Ryu squats low, and the explodes his hips up and arches his hips back while throwing Brian over his head in a Release German Suplex. Brian does a complete flip before he lands upside down, stomach-first on the turnbuckle with the top of his head right above the mat in a backward Tree of Woe.

Ryu makes it to his feet as quickly as his exasperated body will allow him to, and he quickly makes his way over to Brian who still hands in the backward Tree of Woe. Ryu wraps his arms around the upside down belly of Brian and carries him back to the center of the ring like this. Ryu then suddenly jumps into the air and falls to his butt, driving the top of Brian's head into the mat in a Piledriver. Brian falls to his stomach, but Ryu quickly turns Brian onto his stomach and hooks both of Brian's legs in a tight pin.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: Oh my God! Ryu could take Brian by surprise and win it right here!

The referee slides to the mat and brings his hand down for one, then for the second count, but Brian kicks out quickly after. Ryu does a backward somersault to his feet and then backs up into the Southeast corner, then resting against it. Brian uses the ropes to get to his feet as he has been completely taken off guard by the attacks from Ryu. Brian makes it to his feet and finds Ryu in the Southeast corner taunting him. The anger of Brian gets the better of him and he rushes in upon Ryu fulls speed. Just as Brian gets there to try an do a Clothesline to Ryu, Ryu ducks underneath it and begins running toward the West side ring ropes. Brian slams into the turnbuckle stomach and chest first. Ryu turns his back to the ropes as he gets to the West side ropes, and they bounce him off giving him extra speeds as he charges back at Brian. Just as Brian turns around, his head is almost taken off by a huge Big Boot that sends Brian stumbling back into the East side ropes. The ropes bounce Brian off and send him back toward Ryu who lowers his shoulder and lifts just as Brian gets to him delivering a Back Body Drop.

Brian falls to the mat back-first and he begins holding his back as he rolls to the center of the ring. Ryu doesn't give Brian any time to rest as he is there in a second stomping madly away at Brian. Ryu doesn't relent on his rage-filled stomps as he begins kicking even harder and harder with no relent or let-up. Ryu the backs up a bit and raises his right arm, then falling to the mat slamming his elbow across the chest of Brian in an Elbow Drop. Ryu quickly makes it to his feet once more and delivers another Elbow Drop. Once more, Ryu makes it to his feet just as he goes to deliver his final Elbow Drop, Brian rolls out of the way onto his stomach. Brian is breathing heavily from the constant attack from Ryu, but he pushes himself to his knees. Ryu hops to his feet after missing the Elbow Drop and turns toward Brian, lowering his stance and putting his right leg back. Just as Brian looks to his left at Ryu, Ryu swings his right leg forward and at the head of Brian. Brian is able to duck his head at the very last moment, ducking the deadly looking Buzzsaw Kick.

Brian rams the top of his head into the stomach of Ryu doubling Ryu over. Ryu stumbles back a few steps before charging upon Brian again who is still on his knees. Ryu goes to lift his right boot in another Big Boot attempt, but Brian again ducks at the last second, and Ryu's right boot hits the middle rope. Ryu grabs the top rope with both hand and jumps his left foot into the air, bouncing it on the middle rope along with the right foot as he lets go of the ropes. The bounce sends Ryu backward in a complete back flip and he lands on his feet in front of Brian who then grabs Ryu's right wrist with both hands, gets off of his knees, and Irish Whips Ryu into the Northwest turnbuckle. Ryu turns his back to it just as he gets there and hits it back-first. Brian charges upon Ryu but Ryu simply lifts his right boot into the face of Brian which slams right into Brian's nose causing instant blood. Brian stumbles backward a few steps before finally falling to his back holding his nose which is clearly now broken.

Ryu grabs the ropes on either side of the top turnbuckle pad with both hands, and from there pushes himself onto the top turnbuckle pad. Ryu turns his back to the ring so that he is facing the crowd. From here, Ryu jumps off backward from the top turnbuckle, in the process folding his body up and contracting his abdominal and leg muscles to flip himself forward while throwing himself backward, successfully landing a beautiful Phoenix Splash on Brian in an ode to Hawkeye at the ecstatic crowd. Ryu waste no time in hooking the far leg of Brian as the referee slides to the mat and the crowd counts along with him. The referee brings his hand down for one, two... At the very last moment though, Brian is able to kick out once again sending a frenzy of boos and jeers throughout and arena and a frustrated, exhausted Ryu to his face as neither man can seem to be able to put away each other.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: I have to tell you folks... We've been spotting out the resilience of Ryu and his will to win, but the same thing goes for the champion Brian Commonwealth. Both of these men equally want this win in this huge match for GHW, and I don't see neither one of them going down without a fight. What an awesome match.

TBCB Ryu

[Hayabusa]

Brian is on his back his body aching and his mind trying race to figure out what he needs to do in order to put this match away and walk out the winner. Ryu breaths in rapid shallow breaths, his body aches and burns Ryu hears in brain telling him to give up and let this match be as is. Ryu is slow as he uses his hands to push him onto his hands and knees. Sweat completely covers both men's body as Ryu finds a way to push himself up to his knees. Ryu sits on his knees his eyes closed as Brian feeling the body wanting to quit continues to lie there thankful that he is able to get some sort of strength back and maybe that one burst that will put this match away and allow him to keep that which is precious to him.

Ryu finely using the rest of his body makes it to feet and bends over as he puts his hands on his thighs as the sweat runs down his body. Ryu slowly makes his way the few steps toward Brian and bends down picking him up by the back of his head as he stands him to his feet. Ryu reaches between Brian's legs with his right arm and around Brian's back before lifting Brian up over his left shoulder, Ryu then wraps his right arm around the the neck of Brian while proceeding to put the left arm around Brian's torso. Ryu sits down while flipping Brian forward to the right side of him, driving Brian neck and shoulder first into the mat.

The crowd pops huge as Ryu hits the H Thunder and proceeds to lie across the body and pin Brian as the ref comes and drops to the mat checking the shoulders with his left arm as he begins the three count. The hand of the ref is up in the air and comes down once against the mat, the arm goes up into the air and comes down a second time hitting the mat as the crowd counts along. The hand goes up into the air and comes down for the three count but being close to the ropes Brian is just able to get his leg on the bottom rope at the last second which causes the ref shoot two hands into the air followed by the crowd shouting Two!

Hyper:Wow! I almost choked on my donuts. As I was ready to celebrate along with the crowd. Brian being the veteran new where his body placement was and was able to get his foot on the bottom rope. This match has taken both men to the limit and I think this match will take someone beyond there limit.

Collins:I tell you one thing, even with what happened earlier when Stone Orchid came out here and got involved I am surprised that Ryu is able to go on he did suffer one hell of a beating before the GM came out and kicked them from ringside.

Ryu has rolled onto his back and is looking up at the ceiling the lights shine down and his arms tingle and burn and feel like thousands of needles have been stuck in there. Brian is also on his back his chest moves up and down as he is gasping for air his eyes are closed but he again feels the pain setting in, the brain wanting to tell Brian that he can quit and goto sleep and when he wakes up he will feel better. Both superstars are seen rolling over onto there stomachs as the ref realizing what that both men are on the ground begins the standing ten count. Both men continue to lie on there stomachs each one seemingly unaware of the voice of the ref as he has reached six for the count. At eight both superstars find themselves on there hands and knees by nine both superstars push themselves up onto there feet and each one falls into the ropes the are closest two.

The ref stops his count and looks at both men, the match is clearly evident from the dried caked on blood and the bruises and welts that cover both men's body, from the fact that each man is breathing with rapid quick gasps as there hearts pump the blood at an ever increasing rate through there veins. Both Fighty fighty persons look and make eye contact with each other neither man is showing a hint of what they are thinking.

Both superstars push themselves off the ropes and at one another as they lock up in a collar and elbow tie up. Both men are trying to get the better of the other without expelling to much of the precious energy and strength they have acquired. Each man is seen pressing against the other as they begin to step sideways as if walking in a circle. The sweat and blood are mixed as the boom mic picks up the slight sounds of grunts and groans coming from both men as neither one can seem to get the advantage over the other. Brian locks eyes with Ryu who in turn locks eyes with Brian and both superstars star into each others eyes trying to read the other and see if there is is a weakness that they have not exploited that can be exploited.

Brian without thought brings his right knee up catching Ryu in the gut causing Ryu to let go as he puts his hands on his stomach as he doubles over. Brian still maintaining the lock turns Ryu around so he is standing behind him. Brian proceeds to wrap his left arm under Ryu's armpit placing the hand behind Ryu's head. Brian then pulls back as he wraps his right arm around the throat of Ryu and clasps it to his left elbow, Brian continues to pull back as he lifts Ryu off the mat and falls backward bridging his back in the process as he hits with a Katahajime Suplex.

Brian not satisfied is up quickly turning around as he bends down picking up Ryu by the back of the mask and standing him to his feet. Brian bends Ryu over and pulls his head placing it between his legs, Brian takes his arms and sinks in a deep double underhook, Before Brian can lift Ryu up into the air he finds himself being lifted up, Brian finds himself still hooked his face planted against the small of Ryu's back as Ryu stands up. Brian is upside down and looking down at the mat, Ryu then drops to a sitting position driving the top of Brian's head into the canvas with a thundering impact. Both Fighty fighty persons lie on the mat as the crowd has begun to cheer again. Ryu kips up to his feet feeling an adrenilne rush course through his body.

Collins:Ryu seems to be getting another wind as was able to counter what I can only be assured would have been The Butterfly Effect. Hyper? Hyper? What the hell are you doing now?

Hyper is seen standing with his back to the action as a child is at the railing and is feeding Hyper candy one piece at a time. Collins shakes his head as Ryu is on his feet and has bent down picking up Brian by his raven locks and standing him to his feet. Ryu holds Brian face up, as he cradles the right leg and neck, Ryu spins around as he pushes Brian forward while continuing to hold Brian's leg with his right hand and holds Brian's head with his left arm before sitting down again driving Brian's head into the mat. Ryu stands up and drops down covering Brian as he hooks the far leg. The ref runs sliding and dropping down into position as he slaps the mat, the hand goes up into the air and comes down for the one, the hand is up in the air as it comes down for the two, the hand is up in the air and as it comes down for the three Brian just gets the shoulder up enough to cause the three count to be broken at two point nine nine.

The fans show that they thought the match was over as the ref has shot his hands up showing two. Ryu looks around and can not believe that Brian just got the shoulder up. Ryu slams the mat in frustration as he stands to his feet and bends down picking up Brian by the back of his head and standing him to his feet. Ryu grabs and arm and shoulder and begins to irish whip Brian towards the far turnbuckles. Brian though is able to reverse the irish whip and instead sends Ryu crashing with his back into the turnbuckles.

Ryu's arms spread out as they drop over the top rope. Brian charges with a full head of steam and opens his right arm out and smiles as he connects with Ryu hitting the turnbuckle closeline. Brian is seen looking quickly to the left and to the right as a smile breaks across his face. Brian takes his hands and applies them to the neck of Ryu and begins to to choke him. The ref sees this and comes running over and begins to tell Brian to stop or he will count. The ref begins the five count and at four Brian lets go before again wrapping his hands around the throat of Ryu and squeezes the grip.

The ref again admonishes Brian and again begins to count to five. Brian again lets go at four as Ryu finds time to get a couple of breaths of air before Brian does it again for a third time. The ref steps in and tries to pry Brian's hands off of the neck of Ryu, the ref not being strong enough continues to try and remove Brian's arms but fails as suddenly Brian lets go as he bends his elbow making contact with the ref on the bridge of the nose. Brian grabs Ryu as the ref stumbles backward before sending Ryu crashing into the ref sending the ref down to the mat with Ryu on top on him. The crowd boos by the actions of Brian not understanding what is going on.

Hyperelf:Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Something is wrong here. I could have sworn that I ordered long johns...These are not long johns they are crullers filled with cream! I am going to fire the person who messed up my order. I mean come on how can you not get the order right. Um wow Brian is the only man standing as both the ref and Ryu are down on the mat.

Collins:Well Hyper if you had been paying more attention instead of worrying about the sweets you need you would have seen where Brian was choking Ryu and the ref came in and tried to break it up and got elbowed in the face before Brian threw Ryu into the ref sending both to the mat. What the!?!?!?! Um what is going on now?

Brian is seen making a motion with his hands as through the crowd and over the guardrail jumps Metal Dragon and Damien Kain the crowd is booing once again only louder as both members of Stone Orchid slide into the ring under the bottom rope. Brian has a smile on his face as Damian Kain bends down picking up the limp body of Ryu, Metal Dragon nods as he runs towards the far ropes hitting them for extra spring. Damien Kain grins as he throws Ryu towards a returning Metal Dragon.

Metal Dragon drives his shoulder into Ryu as he pushes Ryu back into the ropes hitting one of the most viscous DragonFires seen to date the impact pushes Ryu into the ropes with force, as Ryu comes off the ropes Damien Kain has reached out and grabbed Ryu by the throat lifting him up as a parent lifts a child before bringing his arm down as he choke slams Ryu into the mat the impact of Ryu's body appears to almost sink into the mat. Brian smiles as he grabs Ryu by the legs and drags him away from the ropes and to the center of the ring.

Damien Kain bends down picking up Ryu and holds him on his feet. As Brian begins to again berate and call Ryu racial slurs he slaps him again You think you can take this belt from me?! I don't know what you are thinking, You are not in my league nor are you in the league of the Stone Orchid! You should have never stepped into the ring with what is is greatness! Brian smiles as he tells Kain to hold Ryu as Metal Dragon has slide back into the ring and holds the New Age Title. Brian takes the title from Metal Dragon and holds it up before driving it into the face of Ryu as Kain lets Ryu go the impact sends Ryu down to the mat as all three men are smiling as Metal Dragon picks up Ryu standing him to his feet as Brian again waffles Ryu with the title belt.

Collins:I thought Hawkeye banned these guys from ringside?!?!?!?! What are they doing back out here? They want to get Brian disqualified or do they just not care about listening to the rules that were laid out?

Hyperelf:I don't know why Stone Orchid doesn't follow the rules but you can not say that they are trying to get themselves banned as Reverend Mortigan has not come back out. But that is some abuse that Ryu is suffering at the hands of Stone Orchid!

The members of Stone Orchid continue the assault on Ryu. Ryu is lifted up into the air as Metal Dragon wraps a three quarter facelock and falls to the mat nailing a Ace Cutter. Metal Dragon picks up the body of Ryu and stands him to his feet as he tosses him to Damien Kain who bends down as he places his head between the legs of Ryu and then stands back up. Holding Ryu in an electric chair, Damien reaches up as he grab Ryu's arm before flipping Ryu forward as Damian falls to a sitting position driving the shoulders and head of Ryu into the mat hitting his Graveyard Drop.

The crowd continues to boo by the actions being taken by all three members of Stone Orchid. The boos continue as Brian and Metal Dragon take turns punching Ryu as Damien holds him up. Brian says something and Damien lets go as Metal Dragon and Brian hold the arms of Ryu before pushing him into the ropes and together they whip Ryu across the ring into the far ropes. Ryu bounces off the ropes and ducks under both Metal Dragon and Brian as he continues the run climbing on the bottom rope and then the second rope springobarding off as he flips backwards wrapping his arms around the heads of both Brian and Metal Dragon falling to the mat as he does driving both of there heads with a springboard double reverse DDT into the canvas.

The crowd cheers as Ryu stumbles to his feet as Damien Kain reaches an arm out and wraps his hand around the throat of Ryu and begins to squeeze. Ryu puts his arms on Damien's arm trying to break free of the hold. Damien goes to lift up Ryu but instead lets go as he falls to his knees from the foot that was brought up between Damien's legs in one quick motion Ryu spins with a heel kick making contact to the side of Damien Kain almost taking his head off as Damien falls to the mat and the crowd is cheering.

Collins:It looks like Ryu is only man standing as he somehow held off all three men even though he has taken one hell of a beating he has to be running on pure adrenaline. Even with all this interferance this has been a great match.

Ryu turns his back and walks over to where Metal Dragon and Brian are laid on the mat unaware that Damien Kain has made it up to his feet and is standing almost behind Ryu. Ryu sensing something wrong turns around and jumps backwards as he see's Damien Kain standing there a look of anger spread on his face. Ryu charges at Damien who pushes his chest out sending Ryu down to the ground. Ryu feels a big hand reach down and pull him up violently. Ryu gets a big look of fear in his eyes behind the mask as again Damien keeps the arm around Ryu before then wrapping his other arm so that both arms are around Ryu's throat.

Damien Kain lifts Ryu up into the air and tosses him with a choke toss half way across the ring. Ryu lands with a thud on his back and rolls across the ring landing in a heap. Damien Kain walks over and bends down as he helps Brian and Metal Dragon up to there feet. All three members of Stone Orchid stand in the ring Damien Kain holds up the arms of both Metal Dragon and Brian celebrating in the ring as if they match is over. All three members of Stone Orchid kick the ref a few times and begin to slowly make there way towards the unmoving body.

As the three members of Stone Orchid get closer to Ryu, the boos from the crowd turn into cheers as Hawkeye makes his way out from the back a second time. Hawkeye doesn't have a microphone in his hand and begins charging toward the ring. The crowd erupts into huge cheers as the three members of Stone Orchid see Hawkeye coming down the ring. All three members stop there approach and smile as they taunt Hawkeye who stops before sliding under the bottom rope. Hawkeye looks into the ring and has a smile on his face that turns into a snarl as the ring attendant runs around and brings Hawkeye a microphone.

Hawkeye:Hold the damn phone! If I remember right I banned members of Stone Orchid from being anywhere near this ring. Do you guys think that you can do as you damn well please and not listen to the rules?

Brian, Metal Dragon, and Damien Kain just laugh and nod as they taunt Hawkeye to step into the ring. Hawkeye takes several more steps getting closer to the ring apron but again he doesn't get into the ring. He puts the microphone up to his lips to speak.

Hawkeye:You know I don't know what I should do with you guys. I mean I ban you from ringside and yet two of the cronies return and get involved in this match. Do you guys think that my rules are made to be broken? Do you? SHUT UP! I don't want to hear anything.

Ryu is seen slowly rolling and sitting up against the bottom turnbuckles still fully unaware of what is going on. Brian and Metal Dragon continue to taunt Hawkeye who stands there with a smile on his face as the crowd has erupted into another set of cheers as a big muscular man climbs over the guard rail and has made his way into the ring. The members of Stone Orchid wonder why Hawkeye is smiling and the crowd is cheering.You know boys since you do not want to listen to my rules and follow what I say. I guess the garbage will have to be taken out for good. And I will have to make sure personally. Stone Orchid laugh as Hawkeye removes his suit coat revealing the white sleeveless tank top.

Hawkeye feigns getting into the ring and pulls back as he laughs. Stone Orchid wonder what is going on unaware of who is standing in the ring. Metal Dragon turns around and has his head taken off by a big boot to the face. Brain and Damien look as Metal Dragon is laid out they both turn around and Brian has his head almost taken off from the closeline as Damien Kain is sent into the ropes and flips over the top ropes falling to the ground by Hawkeye's feet. The Mysterious man bends down and picks up Metal Dragon bringing him to his feet. The Mysterious Man lifts Metal Dragon up in a fireman's carry across his shoulders, The Mysterious Man then throws Metal Dragon's legs out in front of him while holding on to the near leg, to spin them out while The Mysterious Man simultaneously sits down, driving Metal Dragon into the mat.

The crowd erupts into even more cheers as The Mysterious man drops to the mat and rolls under the bottom rope standing standing outside next to Hawkeye before he bends down and picks up Damien Kain. The Mysterious Man holds Damien Kain who is bent over before tucking his head between his legs and to the surprise of the crowd and onlookers The Mysterious Man lifts Damien Kain onto his shoulders in a powerbomb position, The Mysterious Man then drops backwards while throwing Damien Kain so that Damian Kain flips forward and lands on his neck and upper back onto the concrete. The crowd gasps and cheers as the man who towers over Hawkeye stands there as if waiting for instruction.

Hyperelf:(spitting out donuts as he speaks) Wha—Who is that? I don't think I have seen that guy before but my god he is a big man. He has to be close to 400 lbs and from the look of things he is thick cut as hell. Did you see how easily he disposed of Damien Kain? And Damien Kain is not a small man by any means.

Collins:I guess Hawkeye was serious when he ment he was going to take out the trash. I mean this man almost took Metal Dragon's head off with a boot to the face, sent Brian's head out into the crowd with that closeline while also knocking the big man Damien Kain to the outside over the top rope.

The Mysterious Man walks over to where Damien Kain lies on the ground and bends down picking up Damien Kain and grabs Damien Kain standing him to his feet before wrapping his arms around the waist of Damien picking him up in the air and drapes him over his left shoulder like a big sack of potatoes as The Mysterious Man begins to walk up and passes Hawkeye who has slid into the ring as The Mysterious Man makes his way up the ramp way to the awe of the crowd who still are taken aback by how easily the Mysterious Man is carrying Damien Kain over his shoulder.

The man and Damien Kain are last seen going through the curtain and to the back stage area. Hawkeye has slid into the ring and looks over at Ryu and smiles to him as he picks up Metal Dragon and stands him to his feet. Ryu wuick to follow suit pushes himself to his feet and bends down picking up Brian and standing him to his feet. Hawkeye and Ryu both apply front facelocks Hawkeye to Metal Dragon, Ryu to Brian Commonwealth,each one drapes there opponent's near arm over there shoulder. Ryu and Hawkeye each take a hold of Brian and Metal Dragon's torso with there free arm as Ryu and Hawkeye lift Metal Dragon and Brian Commonwealth up into a vertical position. Ryu and Hawkeye loosen the facelocks as they twist Brian and Metal Dragon slightly as Ryu and Hawkeye both fall to a sitting position driving Brian's and Metal Dragons back and shoulders into the mat hitting stereo Falcon Arrows.

The crowd erupts into a huge chant and pop as Ryu and Hawkeye stand up. Hawkeye bends down and grabs a hold of Metal Dragon pulling him away from Brian and closer to the other turnbuckle. Ryu nods to Hawkeye who nods back and both men climb the turnbuckles there backs facing to Brian and Metal Dragon, Ryu and Hawkeye stand on the top ropes the crowd is going nuts as they almost blow the roof of the Palace knowing what is to follow as Hawkeye first jumps off backwards while turning his body one hundred eight degrees before spinning one full rotation and half of another as Ryu jumped backwards just a split second later turning his body one hundred eighty degrees before spinning one full rotation and half of another. Ryu lands across the body of Brian seconds after Hawkeye lands across the body of Metal Dragon.

Hawkeye is up to his feet as he bends down and grabs Metal Dragon by the head standing him to his feet as the crowd continues the loud cheering and excitement over seeing double falcon arrows as well as double Phoenix Splashes. Hawkeye tosses Metal Dragon through the second and third rope and then slides under the bottom rope standing on the ground as he bends down and picks up Metal Dragon by the head and walks with him up the ramp way as the fans continue to cheer and go nuts. Hawkeye gets to the top of the ramp and takes one last look out satisfied as he has the last of the trash in his hands. Walks through the curtain walking Metal Dragon to the back.

Hyperelf:Wow! Hawkeye came out and cleaned up the trash making sure that what he said sticks. Did you Collins where both he and Ryu hit duo Falcon Arrows as well as duo Phoenix Splashes! This Pay Per View has more then lived up to it's name. This match alone will see someone get Tried and Convicted.

Collins:Well I guess Hawkeye is not afraid to get his hands dirty but I still want to know who the big guy was that came out and helped Hawkeye clean the ring. I mean I agree with you that guy was huge! He dispatched of Damien Kain without very little effort. But I will admit it was rather nice to see those double Falcon Arrow's as well as those double Phoenix Splashes. What is Ryu doing now?

Ryu makes his way over to the ref and grabs him by the shirt and shakes the ref getting the ref to stir. Ryu walks back to the unmoving body of Brian who's chest is moving up and down slowly and is the only sign that Brian is conscious. Ryu bends down and picks up Brian standing him to his feet turning him around as he applies a standing hammerlock before turning Brian around again facing against Ryu's body before applying a front sleeper while still maintaining the hammerlock. Ryu then takes his free hand and grabs a leg lifting Brian's legs so that they are wrapped around the waist of Ryu before falling to a sitout position. The impact jars the spine and neck as the tail bone hits the mat. Ryu lets go of Brian causing him to fall to the mat flat on his back.

The ref still groggy and not sure what is going on slowly makes his way over to where Ryu has Brian covered. Ryu continues to lay across Brian as the ref slowly makes his way over to where Ryu is. The ref slowly raises an arm up into the air once before bringing it down for the one count. The arm of the ref slowly goes up again into the air and comes down hitting the mat for a two count as the crowd shouts it. The hand goes up into the air and begins to slowly come down for the three count but Brian kicks out to the shock and amazement of the crowd as the ref rolls onto his back shooting two hands up into the air before rolling back over onto his stomach trying to regain himself. Ryu's eyes go wide under the mask in disbelief as Brian somehow kicked out of the Phoenix Driver.

Collin:Oh my god! Can you believe it!? Brian kicked out of the Phoenix Driver! I mean damn that interference by Stone Orchid that caused Hawkeye to come out and clean the garbage but had Brian not hit the ref..I swear, Stone Orchid are a damn cancer that need to be cut out.

Ryu sits on his knees as he tries to figure out what he will have to do in order to beat Brian. Ryu is breathing heavily he feels the urge of his body to want to quit. He feels the urge to want to lie down next to Brian. Ryu tries to fight through of the urge of his body wanting to give up and stands to his feet as he bends down picking up Brian and standing Brian to his feet. Ryu is suddenly doubled over as Brian brings a knee out of no where into the gut of Ryu Brian places both of his arms underneath the arms of Ryu, underhooking them. Brian then arches backward, throwing Ryu over him and Ryu lands on his back in a sick Double Underhook Suplex.
The Butterfly Effect is pulled of with picture perfect perfection as Brian shocks and amazes the crowd as he came from seemingly no where to hit The Butterfly Effect. Brian makes the cover on Ryu and lies across the chest as the ref still semi out of it seeing the pinning predicament raises his arm up into the air once before bringing it down. Brings the arm up into the air before brings it down to the mat a second time. It takes effort but the ref raises his arm up into the air and gets ready to bring it down for a third time but right before it hits the canvas Ryu kicks out and the ref shoots his arms up with a two count as the crowd thought the match was over.

Brian falls onto his back spent from his last burst that he hoped would have ended the match. His mind now races with many thoughts at a thousand times a second. He begins recalling several events such as where he knocked the ref out, the reemergence of his stablemates and then the beat down that they again put to Ryu, he remember Hawkeye coming out a second time and then some big man taking his block off. Brian continues to have these thoughts run through his head as Ryu remains motionless except for the moving up and down of his chest.

Collins:This match continues to amaze me even after all we have seen neither man can still seem to claim a win over the other. I mean what can either man still have left in the tank. I know that the New Age title is the top title in the sport but wow!

Hyperelf:It just goes to show you what happens when you have two men who are battling over the highest prize in the sport. That is what it is all about.

Ryu is the first of the two men begin to show any sign of movement, he slowly and painfully rolls over onto his stomach and begins to slowly push himself to his hands and knees as the ref has made it to his feet and notices Ryu moving. Ryu stares at the mat still unaware of his surroundings finely pushing himself up to his feet and against the ropes. Brian is seen stirring and slowly and painfully rolls over to his stomach and he begins to push himself up to his hands and knees. Ryu continues to lean into the ropes thankful for being able to gather some bit of energy.

Brian finds with a lot of effort he is able to get himself up to his feet and stands before falling to one knee using his right hand to brace himself as he pushes himself back up to a standing position. Brian looks and sees Ryu leaning against the ropes not moving and he begins to move towards Ryu who sees Brian coming at him and he pushes himself off the ropes. Both men meet up and begin to trade punches back and forth with each other.The punches not really having the effect they should if both Fighty fighty persons were still at the top of there game but they still hurt as they make contact. Both men continue to trade punches back and forth right after right makes contact to each of there faces.

Finely Ryu blocks a punch and returns a punch which gets blocked by Brian who in returns throws a punch which makes contact, Ryu throws a punch and it makes contact with the cheek of Brian, both men each block every other punch thrown till Ryu begins to get the advantage and lays in several quick punches before Ryu grabs the arm of Brian and his shoulder and whips him into the nearest corner turnbuckles. Ryu then charges toward the same turnbuckles as he gets close jumping up into the air as he steps on Brian's chest using it to back flip off and land on his feet. Ryu grabs Brian by his head and tosses him to the mat so he is face up on the mat. Ryu then proceeds to triple jump up the turnbuckles standing on the top turnbuckles before jumping off while rotating his body like a corkscrew before landing across the chest of Brian hooking Brian's leg as the ref comes running over but then tell Ryu that Brian is touching the rope.

Ryu can not believe it as he looks over and sees Brian's foot is on the rope. Ryu slowly gets up and grabs Brian dragging him away from the ropes as he bends down and picks up Brian standing him to his feet. Ryu locks up with Brian but from out of nowhere Brian breaks the lock up before kicking Ryu in the gut doubling Ryu over and placing Ryu's head underneath his right arm, hooking Ryu's head, Brian places his head underneath the right arm of Ryu, as Brian lifts Ryu into the and holds him up there for several long seconds as he proceeds to walk forward several steps and then falls straight back at angle sending Ryu's head crashing into the canvas in a sick looking brainbuster. Brian smiles as he says It's over! I win...Ryu Loses! Brian lays across the body of Ryu as he hooks the legs and the ref comes down to make the count.

OOC: Not a lot of time, but I figured I'd get this last post up to make it equal post between the two of us. Great match Tony. Also everyone, this last post isn't exactly traditional. So I guess it's just a matter of opinion on how you feel about it. I know some of you won't understand what I did in there, hopefully some will though. I don't even know if people will like it, but it's just the way I wanted to do it.

Unlike earlier in the match when he celebrated pre-maturely, Brian waste no time covering Ryu for the pin this time. Brian covers Ryu from the left side of Ryu's body. Brian sinks in the Half Nelson on Ryu's head with his right arm, and hooks the right leg of Ryu with his left arm. Brian pulls in on Ryu's head and leg and the referee falls to the mat to make the pin count. The referee is able to slap his hand against the mat two times before Ryu kicks out before the three count.

What made this any different from the other kick-outs though? Ryu and Brian had both kicked out numerous time to avoid the defeat and being pinned. For the shock in the crowd and at home, it was the same in equal measure for the nonchalant realization of Brian and Ryu each and every time. They both know the other man wants it just as much as them.

Brian has rolled off of Ryu as Ryu lays on his back. Brian slowly begins pushing himself to his feet in a muster of strength and energy as he finally gets there. Brian vacantly looks at, nay, looks through Ryu before he finally bends over and cradles his head before lifting Ryu to his feet. Just as Ryu makes it to his feet, he breaks the hold Brian has on his head. Ryu then grabs the right arm of Brian with both hands and falls to his back, spinning 90 degrees on his way down. Ryu lands the Arm Drag on Brian and Ryu quickly makes it to his feet again to face Brian who he supposed would be up after the Arm Drag which usually leads the match along.

Brian doesn't look to be moving, or have any want to move for that matter. Brian only lays on his back while looking up at the ceiling of the arena, a distant look in his eyes with a smile on his face. Not a evil smile, or even an arrogant smile. It is instead a warm smile as if remembering good things from his past as he closes his eyes.

Colin "The Fuzz" Jennings: I know that Arm Drag probably took Brian by surprise, but I didn't think it would leave Brian on the ground not moving.

He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
We'll miss him

The boisterous Brian Commonwealth is being beaten down by Luciano. Out of no where though, Brian performs his crude finisher from those early days when he was new to this world. He picked up the win somehow that day in his wrestling debut...

Brian opens his eyes and leans his head to look at Ryu, but then he merely rolls underneath the bottom rope of the ring to West side in front of the entrance ramp. Brian walks forward a couple of paces and stops at the edge of the entrance ramp with his head down and his hands on his hips.

He had a lot to say
He had a lot of nothing to say
We'll miss him
We're gonna miss him
We're gonna miss him

The first ever and only GHW Bar Room Brawl. Such the hardcore environment. Bodies strewn everyone. Nearly everyone. The destruction that took place that night was indescribable. Then, from behind the counter, Brian Commonwealth stood bloody and left for dead with a Golden Beer Bottle in his hand.

Brian begins walking up the ramp as if giving up hope on winning the match and had just decided to go home, accepting defeat. The referee in the ring has his hand raised in some sort of number, but it is of no importance. Brian stops at the middle of the ramp with his head still hung low in a mixture of mourn and memory.

So long
We wish you well
You told us how you weren't afraid to die, well then so long
Don't cry or feel too down
Not all martyrs see divinity but at least you tried

Brian... After his bloodiest battle ever against Alex Stall and The Psycho Kid in the Hardcore Games. No one knows how or why or what happened, but the victory that should have been bestowed upon Brian never happened that day. He was left with absolutely nothing but death and in return received nothing.

He couldn't even control his own destiny. Third elimination in the first ever Dictator's Rules match. Again, what happened that day? Perhaps his soul was lost to something else. His soul wasn't in that ring anymore. He had lost and there was nothing left anymore for him. He left and would have never came back. The challenges were overbearing him and he turned his back on it.

Brian has made it to the entrance stage and is only standing there with his head hung down in remembrance of all these things that relate so closely to him today and sum up for him in this match as the referee has made it to the middle of the single digit numbers.

Standin' above the crowd
He had a voice that was strong and loud
We'll miss him
We'll miss him

Brian did return though, at a weak point as well. He was opportunistic in his strike. Striking when GHW was weak. He won though. He came back and won this challenge that was weaker than his past ones he lost. He took home the New Age Championship in that Open Rumble at Total Carnage in that empty match. He still won though.

At the top of the stage, Brian slowly turns his head to look at Ryu who stands in the middle of the ring in a combination of joy that his opponent has quit and given up, giving Ryu the victory. Though there is anger too, anger that Brian skipped out before Ryu could pin him.

Ranting and pointing his finger at everything but his heart
We'll miss him
We'll miss him
We're going to miss him
We're going to miss him

He went on to win, earning victory after victory in the months following. He decimated his opponents and left nothing in his wake. Brian was at the top of GHW but still never seen as the top guy. Brian was dominating, yes, but since his return he had still never faced a challenged like the ones before. Then he entered the NeXuS Deathmatch...

Brian turns around fully on the stage which ignites a cheer from the crowd at the potential of this match continuing. The announcers are babbling on about something, but it is all overshadowed at the atmosphere of the environment. Brian then begins slowly walking back down the ring on the ramp.

No way to recall what it was that you had said to me
Like I care at all

Ryu came away the winner of the NeXuS Deathmatch, the last man eliminated out of the seemingly countless others being the New Age Champion Brian Commonwealth. The challenged overwhelmed Brian and once again, Brian came away defeated at something and someone who was too much for him to handle. Then, after everyone had left and Brian remained, somehow fighting through the pressure to leave... Only one man remained as his challenger.

Brian begins walking down to the ring a little faster as his face grows into a rage in the staredown between him and Ryu as the things all come rushing back into Brian's mind.

But it was so loud
You sure could yell
You took a stand on every little thing and so loud

Then, tonight, at Tried and Convicted... His biggest challenge ever. Yes, he came to the table overwhelmed. The past repeats itself as the saying goes. The champion's biggest challenge is here now. Though this time, he isn't run away. Willing to accept defeat even. He isn't running away this time or letting this challenge make him run away.

Brian then makes it to the center of the ramp and begins charging down it at full speed toward the ring igniting a huge burst of cheers at the fact this match will be continuing. Brian finally makes it to the ring, and once there he slide in underneath the bottom rope. Making it to his feet, he sees his biggest challenge ever across the ring from him and then the two charge in upon each other, fist raised in air. Each man knowing that this would be the final stand. That their bodies were so beyond repair at this point that whoever won this series won the match...

He isn't stepping down from the challenge of his overwhelming challenger. He looks like he's ready for whatever may happen... And then... There is Ryu...

*End of Thread*

OOC: Whoever wins the match between Ryu and I can work off of this to type the finish in the aftermath. Too bad I wasn't abe to get some moves in. Time kind of closed in on me. It was great working this match with you though Tony. My best match ever. I couldn't have asked for a better opponent.

[Hayabusa]

OOC:I agree regardless of the outcome it was a good match. My specialty lies in pushing people beyond there limits and makes them reach for a new plateau that they did not think they could reach. I am sure somewhere down the road we will lock up once again. But after this match you have many challenges awaiting you. good job
