Eric The Torture vs. Pennylane - Singles

[Eric The Torture]

Colin: What a great show we've had so far, folks! And if you think it's been good so far, our next match is going to make the evening even better!
"Big" Al: I hate to admit it, but you're absolutely right, Colin. Our next match features a couple of crazy individuals whose relationship is as mercurial as their motives.
Colin: Of course we're talking about Pennylane and Eric the Torture. At Red White and Bruised, we saw these two try to dismantle each other in a dungeon match. Eric and Dyna Mike Duncan came out victorious in that match, which led Eric to claim the title of Dungeon Master and the crafting of a new title belt.

* The screen cuts to a montage of action photos taken from the Dungeon Match. *

"Big" Al: Last month, these two were fighting for survival in a hellish venue. Tonight, they fight for the esteemed honor of representing the illustrious Xantaxm against Martin Prince and his worthless cronies.
Colin: It looks like we're ready, let's get over to ringside.

Charlie Coors: Ladies and gentlemen... the next match is scheduled for one fall. This is a non-title match. Introducing first... from Detroit, MI and weighing in at 268 pounds... he is the self proclaimed Dungeon Master... Eric the Torrrrrrrrture!

* The opening barrage of drums from "Red War" by Probot begin to blast across the PA, rattling the teeth of everyone in attendance. The skull and crossbones from the Dungeon Master title belt is displayed on the Titantron over a montage of Eric's in-ring handiwork. A series of explosions starting at the backstage entrance and working down the ramp explodes in succession and a shower of sparks falls from the ceiling, forming a silver curtain from which emerges Eric the Torture, his Dungeon Master belt strapped snugly around his waist. He makes his way down the ramp and claps the hands of fans on the way to the ring. He rolls under the bottom rope by way of entrance, and doubles over in the middle of the ring. He unclasps the belt, the stands up suddenly, holding it over his head to yet another round of pyros exploding from the ring posts. He hands the title and his t-shirt to the ring attendant, acknowledging a few fans as he awaits the arrival of his arch-nemesis...*

After a few moments the lights dim throught the arena and a spotlight appears at the top of the stage. A few pyro explosions go off on the sides of the upper stage and then from the center Pennylane rises from below into the spotlight. The Fabulous Freebirds theme,Bad Street U.S.A., begins playin and Pennylane slowly walks down the ramp wearing a boxers hooded robe with a Smiley face that has crossbones over it and the Words "DIE HAPPY" surrounding the whole thing. fans are both booing and cheering Penny as he approaches the ring. As he starts walking up the ring steps a rabid fan jumps the security wall and jumps Pennylane from behind,knocking him on the ground andstarts to hammer Pennylane in the back. Before the Arena security can get to this guy though Penylane is able to grab ahold and apply a chicken hold sleeper on the fan. As security then gets to the guy and hauls him off to the back,Pennylane dusts himself off and rolls into the ring. The ref checks to see if he is ok and Pennylane waives him off while staring down ETT. Charilie then continues with the introductions.

And his opponet. Standing at 6'1" and weighing in at 263 lbs. He is the Elite of the Elite. He is Pennylane.

Well Colin. I'd say that this match is already one for the books even before the bell has rung. I just hope that guy realizes how lcuky he was that Pennylane didn't just break him for that attack. I mean who does he think he is getting involved with a Fighty fighty person like that.

All I can say is that this is just one more example of how devoted our fans are to this brand. But I don't recommend that they attempt something like this. our talent are highly trained combatabts who can permanently hurt you in many different wqays if you aren't trained like they are. And besides it is illegal to be on this side of the security railing if you aren't an employee of this company.Now lets go back to the ring as it looks like the ref is ready for final instructions and the start of this match.

[Eric The Torture]

* The ref calls for the bell then moves out of the way as Eric and Penny begin to circle each other. *

Colin: And the match is underway! Eric and Pennylane are trying to get into a position where each of them can get into a superior position.

* The two men finally tie up in the middle of the ring. Pennylane manages to get the upper hand and backs Eric into the corner. The ref gets in between the two men. Astoundingly, there is a clean break as both men hold their hands in the air and back away and then circle around and tie it up once more.

Once again, Pennylane manages to back Eric up, this time against the ropes. He hammer throws Eric in the ropes across the ring. Pennylane tries to brace himself but Eric is a tad too fast and ends up knocking Penny to the mat with a shoulder block. He starts to get up, sees Eric running to the ropes once more and immediately falls back to his stomach. Eric leaps over his prone form and rebounds once more, only to be knocked flat to the mat as Pennylane performs a leaping clothesline. *

"Big" Al: Just that quickly, Pennylane has the upper hand, Colin. Now he has to keep on Eric while he's down... wear on him with that technical mat skill of his and don't give him an inch to breathe.
Colin: Pennylane is truly the quintessential technician, for all his temper. Once Pennylane has you on the mat, you've got to do anything you can to get away from him, otherwise he will simply take you apart piece by piece. Eric is a good example of someone who can handle a technician like Pennylane, but he's got to do something to change his position quickly.

* Pennylane drops a measured elbow on Eric's chest, then in one swift move, rolls over and locks Eric's right arm in an armbar. Fortunately for Eric, he is too close to the ropes and the ref has to break it up. Pennylane pulls Eric to his feet by his hair and locks Eric in a headlock. For a few moments, Eric tries to escape, then backs into the ropes, trying to get enough momentum to rebound and throw Pennylane off. Instead, Pennylane tenaciously holds on. Changing tactics, Eric wriggles a bit, grabs Penny around the waist and lifts - dropping him in a belly-to-back suplex. Both men roll away from each other, already starting to get their feet... *

[pennylane]

The fans are starting to cheer and show appreciation for the quality of chain wrestling they just witnessed. Both Pennylane and eric are staring at eachother for a few seconds and then qickly give eachother a mutual applause before circling around again looking for an openning.

Locking up once again this time its Eric who gets the upper hand and backs Pennylane into the corner ropes. After Jockeying a few seconds the ref forcibly steps inbetween and pulls them apart,but they immediately lock up again wioth Eric once again able to step behind and deliver a back suplex followed up with an elbow drop and then into a rear chinlock.

Now this is just what I was talking about earlier. Pennylane maybe the quintessential Technical Fighty fighty person,but Eric is a consumate ring general and can handle himself in just about any type of wrestling style there is. plus despite his occasional mental episodes he is always in control of his emotions while in the ring which gives him an edge over the hot tempered Pennylane.

You sya tomato I say what the hell ever. Pennylane's temper is what makes him feared inside the squared circle. its what gets him wins where in others it might be a detriment it's an asses to him. by the end of this match i guanteee it will be the hot head prevailing over the cool as cucumber ETT.

Pennylane slowly powers our of the rear chinklock and is able to lock fingers with ETT as they both rise up from the mat. Kicking eric in the gut he then Irish whips Eric into the ropes and as Eric rebounds penny attempt a standing clothesline but eric ducks under bounces off the opposite rope and connects with a spinning elbow that knocks pennylane off his feet once more causing him to roll out of the ring to get his bearings.

[Eric The Torture]

* Not wasting a moment and not wanting to lose the opportunity, Eric quickly runs away from Pennylane into the rope, bounces off and finally dives through the middle and top rope, virtually spearing Pennylane into the metal ring barrier. *

Colin: Did you see that?! Eric showing off some of the aerial skill that he seems to have been building up as of late!
"Big" Al: I think Eric misjudged a little bit, Colin. It looks like he might have smacked his head into the railing - see how he's holding his crown?

* The ref starts the count as both men try to make it to their feet. A few fans pat each Fighty fighty person on the back, shouting words of encouragement to their favorites. Eric rolls into the ring and back out, breaking the ref's count and forcing him to start over again. *

Colin: It looks like Eric's not content to take this back into the ring - he wants to settle this on the outside!

* Eric bodyslams Pennylane onto the arena floor, then stomps him a couple times for good measure. He picks him up and walks him over to the ring, then attempts to slam him face first into the apron. Pennylane blocks, however, chops Eric across the chest and slams his head into the ring apron instead. Eric falls with his hand to his head. He looks at his hand cross-eyed to make sure there is no blood, but Pennylane picks him up and throws him back into the ring. Pennylane climbs up himself and drops to the mat next to Eric and begins to choke him. *

Colin: A blatant choke by Pennylane!
"Big" Al: There's that temper starting to come through! That's what will win this match for Pennylane!
Colin: It'll get him disqualified if he's not careful, Al.
"Big" Al: He's got to the count of five to break the hold, Colin!

* Pennylane stands and picks Eric up. Still angry, he Irish Whips him into the corner with such ferocity that Eric doesn't even turn around, but hits chest first into the turnbuckle. His head snaps forward and hits the turnbuckle as well, and he staggers backward. Pennylane sticks his head under Eric's arm and lifts him up, then brings him down with an atomic drop that sends Eric right back into the turnbuckles again. Pennylane moves to the corner and stomps away at Eric, then chokes him some more with his foot, using the ropes for leverage. *

Colin: Eric has got to do something to turn the tide of this match, Al.
"Big" Al: He's in trouble, no doubt about it.

[pennylane]

Dragging Eric out from the corner,Pennylane grabs Erics wrist,stands over his body then rolls himself to the ground locking in his legs around ETTs' head and holding the garsped wrist/arm straight down.

OH My thats a beautifully executed dragon lock submission choke. With only one arm free and the other completly emobilized along side they head i don't see how Eric can do anything but tap out.

Pennylane is usually the one that wants to let a match drag out but he is going for the quick win here. He knows that eric is one of the few suoerstarts that can match him cardivascularly in the ring. and just wants to end it and go on to face Martin Prince.

Pennylane is yelling at the ref to ask Eric if he gives. but Ett keeps refusing. after a minute of this Pennylane releases the hold and grabs his head in frustration. Then a grin comes across his face and after dropping a few elbows on Eric's back he pulls Eric and puts ETT's head between his legs Pulling him up and driving him down with a Pile Driver. Rolling over her hooks the head and legs as the ref starts the count 1...2...

* Just as the ref's hand is about one inch from the mat, Eric manages to not so much kick out as he manages stick an arm up in the air and get a shoulder off the mat. Pennylane slams his hands down on the mat in frustration. Penny stomps on Eric's gut, then pulls him up by the hair. He puts Eric in a front facelock then throws his arm over his neck and grabs Eric's tights. He picks Eric up for a vertical suplex... or tries to. Eric manages to get his leg between Penny's at the last moment, breaking his leverage. Eric punches Penny once, twice in the gut, then runs backward into the ropes. On the rebound, he leaps and attempts a dropkick right in Pennylane's face. Pennylane at the last second steps aside and gives Eric a push downward to help gravity do it's job. Eric lands on the mat front first and rolls over, gripping his side. Pennylane helps him onto his back, then grabs a leg and spins around. He looks to the crowd for a moment, then grabs Eric's other leg and locks in a figure four leglock right in the middle of the ring! *

Colin: This could be the end of the match right here, folks. Pennylane has that Gotterdammerung Figure four locked in on Eric and there's no ropes anywhere near him to save him!
"Big" Al: This move has crippled several Fighty fighty persons in the past, Colin. Eric better give up while he can still walk.

* Eric's face is twisted in pain. Pennylane sits up and leans forward, attempting to apply as much pressure as possible to Eric's twisted leg. Eric shakes his head violently in a negative to t he ref's question of whether or not he is going to give up. Eric rolls, twists, yells, and pulls his hair, and finally seems to be getting somewhere. The crowd starts up with a chant of "TOR-TURE! TOR-TURE! TOR_TURE!" and finally, after agonizing minutes, Eric manages to flip himself and Pennylane over, reversing the hold and putting the pressure on Pennylane's legs instead! Now it is Pennylane's turn to thrash about in pain as the ref asks if he is going to give up. *

Colin: Eric managed to break the hold and now has it reversed, Al. Normally, it would be relatively easy to escape a reversed figure four like that, but it appears that Pennylane had Eric's legs so tied up that when he reversed it, his legs got tied up just as much.
"Big" Al: He's in pain, but don't count Pennylane out yet. He's as stupid as he is bull-headed and he won't give up that easily.

* Finally, Pennylane manages to crawl to the ropes. Eric breaks the hold and stands and tentatively places some weight on his knee before it buckles under him. Knowing he only has seconds before Pennylane pulls himself up on the ropes, he snaps his foot a couple of times, trying to kick some of the weakness and pain out of his leg, then hobbles over to Pennylane. He throws a forearm to Penny's back, then grabs his head and runs him over to the turnbuckle and introduces him to it - several times. The crowd counts along - 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7! 8! 9! 10! Eric lets go and watches Pennylane stumble backwards a few steps, cross-eyed. Penny throws a punch at nothing in particular, then falls down face first. Eric throws his hands up in the air as the crowd cheers, then climbs the ropes, slowly because of his injured leg, to the second turnbuckle. He waits as Pennylane clambers to his feet, then with perfect timing, jumps and hits a flying neckbreaker. Pennylane lands on the mat on his back, the only sign of life his quickly moving chest. Eric lands just as hard, lying on his side, holding his knee and grimacing in pain. He tries to stand, but falls as soon as he puts any weight on his right leg, then rolls around on the mat cradling it some more. The ref begins the count... *

"Big" Al: Eric managed to break Pennylane's momentum and then some, Colin, but he also managed to break his own. What will Xantaxm decide if this turns into a double count-out?
Colin: I'm not sure Al, but from the looks of things, I find it hard to believe that either man will be able to break the count!

[pennylane]

the fans all across the arena start counting with the ref. 1...2...3....4...5 Eric is the first to stir rolling over he gets his arms on the rope and by sheer will and upper body strength alone he is able to pull himself up and support his weight on the top rope. 6....7... Pennylane however is in more serrious trouble. he too is sloly getting to his feet but he doesn't seem to have a clue where he is. 8....9....the ref stops the count as Pennylan finally gets completely to his feet draped across the ring corner.

Eric must of had put some pepper into those punches because even from back here it appears that Pennylanes eyes are glazed over. I think he is out on his feet. if not concussed.

what started out as a great technical match has quickly turned into a brutal donnybrook. Pennylane even pulled out one of his most devestating finishers only to have it reversed . This is shaping up to be something more than we even expected.
The ref goes over to check on Pennylane ,asking him if he is ok. but he gets no answer. just a blank stare. Again the ref asks him if he's ok and again nothing. the ref then turns to the time keeper and is about to call the match when Pennylane grabs the refs shoulder and turns him around. Patting the ref on the shoulder he nods his head as sign of his being ok and keeps screaming ..DON'T YOU STOP THIS!!! DON'T YOU STOP THIS!!! seeing that their is still some fight in Penny the ref decides to allow the match to continue. as soon as he steps away from Pennylane Eric who has gained most of his mobility back in his legs does a running stinger splash into Pennylane;smashing him in the ring corner and causing him to collapse in a heap on the mat. Picking Pennylane up off the mat ,Eric then lifts Pennylane up putting his back across his shoulders and the drops down to his kness.

KING SLENDER! KING SLENDER! KING SLENDER!

Eric then hooks the legs and goes for a pin
1...2..but Pennylane just abrely slides and gets his shoulder off the mat. Standing up Eric gets in the refs face holding up 3 fingers arguing that he should eb awarde the pin. The ref just keeps repeating and gesturing that Pennylane was able to jsut get out before the 3 count.

[Eric The Torture]

* Eric, kneeling, shakes his head in disbelief. Pennylane is starting to roll over as ETT gets to his feet. He backs Pennylane into the corner then hauls off and chops him across the chest so hard the echo reverberates through the arena causing people to jump in their seats. Pennylane grabs his chest and falls to the mat again. Eric once again picks Pennylane up, throws him over the top rope and scrambles down after him. He grabs the back of Pennylane's head and introduces his forehead to the steel ring post and then the steel steps. Pennylane falls to the arena floor again, but Eric picks him up and rolls him under the bottom rope. *

Big Al: What's that thug doing? He had no business throwing Pennylane out of the ring like that or using illegal tactics.
Colin: Apparently the ref didn't think they were illegal since the match continues. He did warn Eric about throwing Pennylane over the top rope like that, though.

* Eric stands Pennylane up in the middle of the ring. He is dazed, leaving Eric ample time to take off into the ropes, rebound, then knock Pennylane flat on his back with a running head-butt. *

Colin: It's the GIANT PANTHER, folks, and Pennylane is busted open! He's bleeding from his forehead just beneath his hair line!
"Big" Al: We've talked before about Pennylane possibly having a concussion - if he didn't before, I'd be willing to bet he does now!

* Eric falls atop Pennylane for the pin. Pennylane manages to jerk a shoulder off the mat and spin underneath Eric as the ref counts to 2. *

"Big" Al: That was just a sloppy cover by Eric. There is no way Pennylane would have been able to kick out of that if Eric had hooked the leg.
Colin: Eric got lazy or overconfident.
"Big" Al: That's a rookie's mistake right there!

* Eric picks Pennylane up yet again, and whips him into the ropes and takes off running the opposite direction. Pennylane ducks a running clothesline from Eric and both men continue running. On the return, out of nowhere, Pennylane leaps and performs a beautiful drop kick right to Eric's throat. Eric lands on the mat, clutching his chest and throat and gasping for air. Pennylane lies on the mat once again trying to compose himself, and drags himself over to pin Eric... *

Colin: Out of nowhere, Pennylane lands a BRITISH INVASION on Eric the Torture, and may have gotten himself the win!
"Big" Al: That was pure instinct, and that's where all the training and repetition pays off in a big way!

TBCB Pennylane or EOT - I have nothing more to add.

[pennylane]

**I don't believe it. Where did I get the energy to pull off a British Invasion like that. Looking over at Eric I can see like me he is running on pure instinct.
