The Purest vs AJ Scally (Opening Contest)

[thepurest]

The jam packed arena cheer wildly as the lights shut off and multiply by Xzibit begins to play when four spotlights begin to turn around the arena lighting the fans as they go, eventually they all rest on the stage at different spots before slowly coming together and settling over the curtain where they overlap to form one single round circle. Sam Blade bursts through the curtain to the stage to a mixed reaction from the crowd who are somewhat happy of his return from an, as of yet, unexplained absence despite his own shortcomings. Raising his right arm the crowd pop a little but settle back down as he proceeds towards the end of the stage.

-:Dave:-
Hes lucky to be getting on the card atall, granted he is a good athlete but taking little short of two months off without explanation grants an instant release.

-:Johnny:-
Well putting him against AJ may be something of a punishment from the management, imagine having to re-debut against someone as talented as Scally.

"I've beeeeen this way and I can't stop (ah)
Hands on the ball and I won't drop (no)
Half-assed rhymes that you can't rock-to (no)
It ain't cause I want to it's cause I got-ta"

Making his way forward down the ramp the beam follows him, every other light in the arena off so the only thing visible is the three feet either side of the wrestler as he heads towards the ring wearing dark blue and white wrestling tights, white knee/elbow pads and ring boots. He stops infront of the ring and stretches slightly before walking around the ring to within touching distance of the fans where some of them try to pat him on the back and talk to him but he pulls away and makes some distance between himself and the crowd as he gets round to the announce table where he hands a note to the announcer and mouthing something to her which is drowned out by the music. Grabbing a microphone, Samuel quickly turns from the announcers and rolls into the ring under the bottom rope, just as quickly he pushes himself to his feet and bounces a little as he once again raises his arms to the fans.

"(We) back on line (We) came to ride
(We) deal (We) stack (We) multiply
(We) stay on the grind (Until) we die
And back for mo', cause we can't get enough"

-:Johnny:-
Looks like we're gonna get to hear a few words from this young man...Oh great.

The lights follow him into the ring as he stands tall in the centre they begin to circle around him, the music plays on for a few seconds before shutting off. The lights move in different patterns while his information is announced.

-:Belle:-
Introducing...Weighing in at 240lbs and standing six foot three inches tall...Currently residing in an undisclosed location...Umm...

Sam raises the microphone to his mouth.

-:Sam:-
Say it!

-:Belle:-
Hmph, The past present and future of LDWA...Samuel Octavia Blade!

the spotlights shut off as the other lights in the arena turn back on, raising the microphone to his mouth again he begins to speak.

-:Sam:-
Aha thats right, hes back! I feel I should apologise for the effect my absence has had on this show. I offer no apologies for the absence itself but watching from home I could see how poor the quality of LDWA was without me. Lets negate for a second the facts that we have half our roster failing to show up on the day and one of our general managers using their powers to serve their own purposes regardless of the effect it has on the health of the company. Yeah lets forget all that for a second and focus on our world title. In one corner was Ryan Hughes, a man who was never supposed to be in the tournament and wouldn't have been had it not been for Kahlan dropping out, and in the other was Magnus Gunner who only got through his match with me because I was already half beat from my Last Man Standing match the week before then having to go into another with him, talk about stacking the odds against one competitor eh? Who did he have to beat after me? Sean Myers? Ha, hardly the Ric Flair of our generation now is he? I'm not going to sit here and compare myself with one of the greatest of all time Ric Flair because frankly that'd be an insult to everyone with half a brain, everyone knows I have far surpassed the ranks of Flair and everyone else that came before me. So with that being said, It begs the question why I have been back a few days now and have yet to be given notice of when I'll be given what is rightfully mine: The Lions Pride championship! Scally you are little more than a stepping stone on my road to the title, c'mon down and lets get this over with!

Octavia drops the microphone out the ring as the referee frisks him for illegal weapons, meanwhile he stares intently up the ramp in anticipation of his opponents entrance.

TbC by AJ Scally

((OOC: Completely in character))

[scally]

Walk by Pantera hits the speakers the crowd break into a chorus of boos. AJ Scally then appears on stage smirking, a microphone in hand.

Bella: And his opponent weighing in tonight at 245 pounds from Newcastle, Australia, The Flying Phenomenon, AJ Scallyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

Dave: Looks like this will be AJ’s first action in a while.

J.R: I’m sure a nice looking guy has had plenty of action recently… Oh you mean wrestling matches

Dave: Alrighty then. Anyway should be a great match and looks like AJ has something to say.

Scally: Umm mate you can’t just waltz back in LDWA and demand a Title shot. You have to earn ok. Which, because of these damn no shows, I haven’t been able to do, and it looks like I cant today either. Beating you isn’t going to propel me as you are nothing but a racist prick. You think by saying the things you think you are controversial, no you are not. You my friend are just a plain old try hard, wannabe and a never will be.

The crowd cheer at AJ’s comments, surprisingly, as AJ drops the mic, causing a satic sound before proceeding to waltz down the stage with a smirk across his face. However, he can only get halfway down the stage before being met by Sam Blade.

-:Dave:-
Scally not even given the chance to get in the ring.

Samuel meets Scally on the ramp with a stiff right hand to the left hand side of his jaw, wobbling his opponent but not enough to take him down. AJ immediately retaliates with a right hand of his own and the two men grab a hold of one another by the neck as they repeatedly strike each other in the face and body while getting closer to the guard wall. Eventually Scallys back runs up against the wall until he pops his hips to swap places with Blade, continuing his onslaught against the new yorker with a barrage of rights and lefts. AJ eventually pushes himself back a few feet from the new member of the franchise to cause some separation between the two momentarily before running at Samuel with his left arm extended at his side, crashing his forearm into Octavias throat. The momentum carries both men over the barricade wall and into the first row of fans who jump out of the way to allow AJ and Sam to crash through three folding chairs which buckle underneath them. Both men double up in pain for a short while before simultaneously clambering to a standing position side by side, again choosing violence over technique as they brawl deeper into the crowd, knocking fans over as they do. Eventually they reach a central point, sorrounded by ten rows of fans in either direction. Scally gets the advantage for a second and beats Blade down to his knees, then taking a moment to clear a space in the crowd to give him room to manoeuvre SOB to his feet and hoist the young athlete from the ground then back down to the hard concrete floor. The fans ooh and ahh at every move which is, as of yet, legal because the match hasn't officially began. This fact is drove home when Sam crawls away from the taunting Scally to the guard rail closest to him, using it to pull himself to his feet he leans over it towards the ring while only to have AJ grab one of the fans metal chairs and fold it up, slamming it into the lower spine of the Anti-EVPW wrestler. Scally then waits for Samuel to turn around before trying to run the chair into his face but SOB drops to one knee and rams his shoulder forward into his opponents stomach, then straightening back up to hoist AJ up and over the railing towards the ring. The Flying Phenomenon hits the thin mats beside the squared circle where he sprawls out trying to absorb the pain while Sam gets his breath back and grabs the chair AJ was using, carrying it over the guard rail with him as the referee yells at the two men to get in the ring and start the contest.

-:Dave:-
The referee has no authority here, the match hasn't started. What can he do!?

-:Johnny:-
Nothing! Haha

-:Dave:-
Well they'll need to get in the ring soon...We have time constraints you know.

Samuel flips the referee off before getting into position behind AJ and waiting for his adversary getting to his feet, taking practice swings with the chair he tries to line up his shot with Scally who eventually gets up but as Blade swings the chair AJ dodges the impact of the metal just in time and uses the few seconds he had to grab hold of Sams wrestling tights and run him head first into the ring post, causing the new yorker to drop the weapon. This transitional spot ushers in "LDWA" chants from the 3/4 capacity crowd and lets the "king of the world" roll SOB under the bottom rope into the ring, then following under himself to let the official ring the bell and start the match. Scally jumps on his opportunity and rolls Octavia onto his back before making the cover, the referee slides into position and starts the count: "1..." Samuel kicks out with force to the surprise of AJ Scally who starts to try and attack his opponent but stops himself and gets to his feet, gesturing for his opponent to get back to his feet. Blade eventually gets to his feet and stares up at AJ, almost expecting the more experienced wrestler to attack him but he is allowed the time to get up before Scally walks in and locks hands with a dazed Samuel, they tussle back and forth for a few minutes while trying to get the advantage, which AJ does in the certain of the ring and he uses it to force his foe back against one set of ropes and launch him off into the opposite set. Blade hits the ropes at speed and comes back to the flying phenomenon, whom he knocks down with a shoulder block before then running off a third set of ropes and coming back to the grounded AJ. The "king of the world" rolls towards Sam, who needs to jump to avoid tripping over Scally, his momentum makes it hard to stop so he hits the fourth and final set of ropes to come back at the rising AJ one more time and successfully grab hold of the young man by his neck and kick his own legs out from under him. Twisting as he does this it also takes Scally down. Both men lay prone on the canvas, AJ holding his neck and Sam trying to get his breath back.

-:Johnny:-
Nice neckbreaker but he runs around alot but does very little, its like you, you're always talking but you're never saying anything important.

-:Dave:-
Very funny partner, lets hope the action picks up a little here. It'll be interesting to see how well Sam can pace himself in a match against such a well rounded athlete as AJ Scally is, especially after a long period of time off.

-:Johnny:-
See!? Nothing!

TbC by AJ Scally

[scally]

Sam getting the much needed oxygen, props up to his feet and walks over to his fallen opponent, who is still holding his neck. Octavia with a grimace, maybe due to AJ’s weight, brings the Aussie to his feet for another deadly manoeuvre. SOB now places Scally’s arm over Sam’s shoulder, he now proceeds to wrap his right arm around the Flying Phenomenon’s head and the left arm around his leg. Blade then, in what seems a matter of seconds lifts the aerialist over his head and onto the canvas below, AJ immediately holds his back in pain, while Octavia sits up, trying to catch a few much needed breaths.

Dave: Nice snap suplex on behalf of Sam there.

J.R: Indeed it was Dave and Sam now seems to be in the driver’s seat.

The former racist now stands on his two feet and pauses for a second pondering what to do next. At this stage AJ has now raised to his feet however, his back is towards Blade who now grabs Scally’s shoulder turning him in the process and wraps his around the Aussie’s wrist and using much force, throws his opponent towards the corner of the ring. SOB as soon as AJ hits the turnbuckles charges at him with an outstretched arm. Blade’s arm connects with AJ’s neck, nearly decapitating him. This cause the “King of the World” to stagger out wards a bit, to which the Anti-EVPW wrestler uses to his advantage by placing the Australian Aerialist’s head under his armpit and falling backwards, driving his opponent’s head towards the canvas below.

Dave: Nice combination there by Sam Blade, he has the chance to finish this match soon.

J.R: A nice clothesline followed up by a DDT, well done.

Octavia thinking the match is pretty much over decides to add a little more punishment. He walks over the Aussie and picks up his legs and places his own right leg in between Scally’s. The self-proclaimed Future of LDWA proceeds to wrap the Australian Aerialist’s legs around his and in a matter of seconds turns AJ onto his back locking the deadly and feared Sharpshooter. The Flying Phenomenon now grimace’s in pain, as Sam is pulling back his legs, bending AJ’s back into a painful position. The “King of the World” looks helpless as he is in the middle of ring, but he is fighting the pain.

J.R: The sharpshooter, AJ is going to tap right here right now.

Dave: He may well, as Scally is in the middle of the ring, however, AJ is fighter, so who knows.

Scally is now screaming in pain trying to fins his best route to ropes decides to go straight. Mustering all of his strength, Scally now using his hands crawls towards the ropes, bringing Blade along for the ride. There are fans in front of Scally willing for him tap out and others wanting him to reach the ropes, most likely as they hate him less or more than Sam. AJ is probably a foot away from the ropes and in a last ditch effort is able to grab the bottom rope to force a break, there is a mixed reaction, some fans cheer while others boo. The referee is trying to get Sam to let go, however, Blade is not complying. The referee then starts his count, Sam letting go on a long four count, not wanting to get disqualified.

Dave: Sam trying to get as much advantage there, not letting go of the hold, waiting till the referee got to four.

J.R: So, that is smart trying to inflict as much punishment as possible.

Blade now grabs AJ’s legs and pulls him out from the ropes. He now lies across AJ in a vertical position while pulling on of the Aussie’s legs in the air, going for a pin attempt. The referee is able to slam the mat twice before AJ’s raises his shoulder, much to a mixed reaction. Sam raises three fingers towards the referee, thinking it was indeed three; however, the referee puts two fingers up. Blade goes back to his opponent to pick him up; AJ however, is able to lift a foot up and kick Sam in the stomach, causing him to stagger. AJ quickly rises to his feet and wraps his right arm around Octavia’s head and quickly falls backwards, executing a DDT. Both men are down now, as the referee starts to count.

Dave: Insane DDT there by Scally, it looked like Sam had the match won.

J.R: Indeed, and now the momentum might be swinging.
