DT: Well folks, that was a hot match to open up Black Dawn!
MN: Yeah, cause nothin' says fantastic like a gigantic Viking storming around your arena and looking to pillage everything in sight.
DM: Hey, I like Olsvir. He's hilarious and fun to watch. What don't you like about him?
MN: If I had to take the time to explain it to your little mind, we'd be here until Christmas.
DT: We're going to move from one hot match to another one that promises to be as high-energy, as Beast and Simply Beautiful have promised to tear the house down.
MN: Pffft.
DM: What's up, Neels?
MN: We all know that SB is just all show. And Beast? He can't wrestle his way out of a wet paper bag. The only way THESE two are going to tear the house down is with a couple of wrecking balls.
DT: Your time in A1E has made you absolutely catty.
MN: Trust me, you'd be the same way if you'd had to endure what I've gone through.
DM: That bad, huh?
MN: Oh, the unprecendented levels of "rah-rah-rah" and "we've all been betrayed".... I can't take it any more. It makes me want to splatter my brains all over the first few rows.
DT: Well, just sit back and relax. Let's get on with the match!
CUT TO: The center of the ring, with Tony Fatora.
TF: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!! When the bell rings, the man in charge of the action will be Andrew Gardell! Introducing first...
The frantic opening to Queen's "Stone Cold Crazy" hits and the self-proclaimed Sexiest Man on Earth steps out, fired up and ready to fight.
TF: Hailing from Staten Island, New York... he stands six feet, one inch tall, and weighs in at 235 pounds.... he is... SIMPLYYYYYYYYYYYYY BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Pyro explodes around him as he raises in arms. Freddy Mercury's voice kicks in and SB sprints down to the ring, glad handing everybody reaching out and trying to get a hand on him. He dives headfirst facing up into the ring, and then kips-up. He sings along with Mercury "STONE COLD CRAZY YO!" and fist pumps as pyro shoots up from the ringposts he's facing.
MN: Simply Boring. Ugh.
TF: And, his opponent...
The opening guitar harmonics of Saliva's "Ladies and Gentlemen" ring througout the arena as fog drifts across the stage.
TF: Making his home in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada... standing six feet, six inches tall and weighing in at 285 pounds... he is.... BEEEEEEEEEEAST!!!
Then, as the entire band punches in, a huge red and white pyro explosion goes off at center stage. Beast then steps through the fog and smoke and stands at center stage for a few moments, looking out at the crowd and hearing a gigantic mixed reaction. He then proceeds to the ring amidst a flurry of moving red and white spotlights, before climbing into the ring and playing to the crowd with the Bret Hart strut.
DT: This may be stating the obvious, but neither one of these guys are in the favor of Dan Ryan. Simply Beautiful was stripped of a title shot at this very show because he's been a vocal supporter of A1E throughout this whole bitter rivarly between A1E and EPW, and well, with Beast, now going by his real name, Marcus Westcott in A1E, I don't think we need to go any further. These two have been at each others' throats since Beast's day ONE in EPW, and now, four years later, it's all come to a head! But tonight, it's all about two guys from A1E trying to stand up and tear the house down, giving it one last hurrah before their lives and careers change and show that they can do it just as well as anyone!
MN: I'm about to puke bad enough as it is - you don't have to make it any worse!
[ SFX: DING! DING! ]
DT: In the ring now, Gardell has called for the bell, and Beast and SB move to the center of the ring and shake hands, before starting to circle each other around the ring. Beast, as expected, powers SB back into the corner, where Gardell asks for a clean break, and he gets it.
MN: Figures.
DT: Once again, we've got circling around the ring, and once again we've got a lock up. This time Beast turns things into a headlock and snaps SB down to the canvas, holding on to that headlock, yet SB manages to quickly counter with a head scissors, and Beast kicks out of it! Both men back up to their feet now, and another lock up turns into a second head lock for Beast, and again, he snaps SB down to the canvas! Once again, SB counters with a head scissors, and Beast kicks out again! Both men get back up to their feet now! Beast charges in, and SB takes him over with an arm drag! Both men up, and Beast charges again! Another arm drag by SB! Beast is up! SB is up! Here comes Beast! A third arm drag by SB, and this time, he holds on with a seated arm bar!
MN: *YAWN!*
DT: These two men bringing something a little different here tonight that what we're used to. Beast is looking to find a way out of this! He's up to one knee, trying to get that other leg underneath him to get to his feet... and he makes it! Beast reaches over and grabs SB's arm and REVERSES his way out of the hold, and now he's got it applied to SB! And he's wrenching on that shoulder for good measure! Beast TWISTS that arm around a SECOND time, and you can hear SB yelling out in pain as he's getting that shoulder yanked around!
MN: Maybe Beast'll tear it right off and beat him with it! That way there'd at least be something exciting going on in this match!
DT: SB's desperately looking for a way out of this one, guys! His face is wracked with pain, and who knows how long that arm with hold out! He ducks and rolls! There's a twist on the ground, and he nips back up - without using his hand! He nails Beast with a boot to the gut, and then wraps his leg over Beast's arm, and FLIPS over backward! Landing on his feet, he grabs Beast's arm and wrenches it around again! Now it's Beast yelling out in pain as his arm is wrenched around! What do you think of this so far, Dean?
MN: Well we're just getting going, but after a few minutes, these guys are going hold for hold here, but I think that sooner or later, either SB's speed and technique, or Beast's power are going to come out on top!
[ SB stomps in the ring as he YANKS on Beast's arm! ]
DT: SB looks like he's bounds and determined to seperate that limb from Beast's body! Beast is in all kinds of trouble here! He's down on one knee, and this HAS to be killing him!
[ But Beast manages to fight back to his feet, and YANKS SB in! ]
DT: OOOOH MY!! Beast just SHORT ARMED SB and damned near TOOK HIS HEAD OFF with that clothesline! What a shot from the former World Champion!
DM: That was just great work by SB to contain Beast's arm and cut off half of his power! When it comes time later on in the match for a strength move, Beast may just not have it due to this work by SB here!
[ On the canvas, SB shakes his head out trying to get rid of some of the cobwebs, while Beast is walking around, trying to shake some feeling back into his arm and shoulder. ]
DT: Both men feeling the effects of their early assaults, and while not physically pounding, those holds sure do take their toll! Beast now pulls SB to his feet, and TOSSES him over with an underhook suplex! A big power move from Beast, and if he keeps this going, the big man can easily pound SB into the canvas! He pulls SB up to his feet, and DROPS him with a heavy side suplex!
DM: SB has GOT to do something, or else he's going to be in trouble. Look for Beast to start going to the head and neck to start heading towards a finish with the Absolution.
[ And just as Dean professes, Beast hauls SB back up to his feet and hits a couple right forearms before grabbing him around the waist and hitting a GREAT release German suplex! ]
DT: Beast just FIRING SB over with that maneuver! And now he's going for a pin!
ONE!
TWO!
DT: Big kickout from Simply Beautiful! He's not ready to be beaten yet! But Beast hauls him up again, and HOISTS him high over his head into a gorilla press position! And DOWN comes SB-wait! SB grabs Beast's arm and takes him down into an arm drag, and SB HOLDS ON for a Jujigatame!! This match could be over right here!
[ Beast is yelling out in pain as SB applies the hold! Gardell moves in to check on Beast and see if he will submit, but Beast refuses and manages to reach out and grab the bottom rope! ]
DM: That's just brilliant right there, guys! SB went BACK to the arm and it almost got him the match! He's got a shot if he keeps attacking Beast's arm like that!
DT: Gardell gets a clean break, but SB YANKS Beast off the ropes and hits a leg drop across Beast's arm! And now he's pinning Beast's arm to the mat, and he goes into a handstand.... and DOWN with those knees across Beast's arm! A SECOND time, SB drives those knees into Beast's arm and shoulder!
MN: Loafy will be lucky if he can lift a cup of coffee in the morning!
DT: And here goes SB to the ropes... springboard off the second rope... and there's a BIG elbow into Beast's shoulder! SB is staying right on the attack as he pulls Beast up to his feet, takes hold of that worked over arm, and races to the ropes... LEAPS over the top rope and to the floor, HANGING Beast's shoulder over the top rope! Beast bounces back into the ring and hits the canvas, and SB quickly leaps back up to the ring apron, and to the top rope! He's waiting there for Beast to get up,. and as Beast fights his way to his feet, SB leaps.... OH MY!!!! MISSILE DROPKICK right into that beaten shoulder! And he scrambles over for a cover, forcing down that weakened arm!
ONE!
TWO!
DT: NO!! Beast gets the other shoulder up!
MN: Stay down so we can move on, already.
DT: SB continues to work Beast over, as he pulls Beast up to his feet, hooks the arm, and DRIVES Beast into the canvas with an arm bar DDT! There's another cover!
ONE!
TWO!
DT: NO!! Again, Beast kicks out! SB pulls Beast up to his feet, and comes at him with a clothesline, but Beast manages to duck that! He catches SB and tries to take him over with a crucifix pin, but with that sore arm, SB spins out of it and boots Beast in the guts... there's a hammer lock.... AND INTO A GERMAN SUPLEX!!! WOW!! He just POWERED Beast over! SB goes for another pin!
ONE!
TWO!
DT: KICKOUT at two and a half, and Beast isn't out of this one yet! SB hauls him up to his feet, and FIRES him into the corner! Here comes SB! SPLA-NO!! BEAST GOT THE BOOT UP!!
MN: And some lucky kid has a free date with the tooth fairy!
DT: And Beast comes ROARING out of the corner with a clothesline that turns SB inside out! SB gets to his feet and Beast boots him back into the corner, before winding up and CHOPPING SB across the chest!
Crowd: WHOOOOOO!!!
DT: A second chop!
Crowd: WHOOOOOO!!!
DT: HIP TOSS out of the corner, and Beast is doing the best he can with one arm right now! He drops an elbow on SB right across the chest! He pulls SB up - scoop slam, and that one hurt! Beast turns to hit the ropes, and he rebounds, looking for a Stone Cold-like elbow, but SB rolls out of the way and Beast eats canvas! SB is quickly up, and he hits a low running dropkick right into Beast's face! Cover!
ONE!
TWO!
DT: Beast kicks out! What a shot by SB!! He pulls Beast up, and lands a forearm, and he whips Beast to the ropes! Beast rebounds and ducks under a spinning heel kick, hits the far ropes.... GORE!! GORE!! Beast just nailed SB with the GORE!!
DM: But he hit him with the bad shoulder, Dave! Beast is down too, and he's clutching that shoulder! I wonder if he even got all of that shot!
DT: And here comes Gardell to check on both men, and seeing both of them down and not responding to him, he starts making his count!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
FOUR!
FIVE!
SIX!
SEVEN!
EIGHT!!
MN: Good grief!
DT: SB is up!! The count is broken, and he sees Beast still down on the canvas! SB heads for the top rope...NEW YORK NIGHTMARE!!! OH MY GOD HE NAILED BEAST WITH IT!! And he makes a cover!
ONE!!
DT: BUT ERIK BLACK OF CHRONIC COLLIZION JUST PULLED SB OUT OF THE RING!! AND HERE GOES IVAN INSIDE, AND HE SPLASHES BEAST!!!
[ SFX: DING! DING!! ]
DT: That's it! Gardell's called this one, and Erik Black and SB are chucking knuckles on the outside!
TF: Ladies and gentlemen, as a result of outside interference, the official has ruled this match a NO CONTEST!!
DT: Beast is down on the inside and now Ivan’s comin’ outside to where Erik Black and SB are going at it!! Black and SB exchanging rights….here’s Ivan from behind!!!
[SFX: CRASH!!! And an OOOH from the crowd]
DT: My God!! Ivan slapped a full nelson on SB and Erik Black superkicked him right in the jaw!!!
DM: With nowhere for his head to go, he took the full brunt of that kick and SB is knocked clean out I think!!
DT: Erik Black and Ivan Dalkichev are backing off, seemingly happy with themselves but they ruined a perfectly good matchup out here and the fans are really givin’ it to ‘em!!
[LOUD boos.]
MN: Something tells me they don’t care.
DT: I’d say that’s a safe bet for sure. Well we’ve got medical personnel coming down to the ring, but we’re gonna take a break while they tend to these guys.
