Jonny Sake vs. Void
Singles Match
Referee: Joseph Reid
Author: Richie
<b>James Brunt:</b> The following is a singles
match.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> The following match should
be a good one, Cassidy.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Yeah, yeah. You know, you
say that about a lot of matches?
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Well, that’s because a
lot of them should be good, and usually turn out to be.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Psshaw. Speak for
yourself. You know, with a name like Truth, you sure do lie a lot…
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Anyway, in the ring is our
announcer, Brunt.
<b>James Brunt:</b> Introducing first, from
Manhattan, New York, weighing in at 346 pounds… the Big Daddy himself, JONNY
SAKE!
“In The End” by Linkin Park reverberates throughout the
Wesbanco Arena as the thousands in attendance stand to their feet, cheering on
the AWC superstar. In the flesh, Jonny Sake steps out through the curtains, and
makes his way ringside.
<b>James Brunt:</b> And his opponent, hailing
from an undisclosed location, weighing in at 229 pounds… he is the Miscreant,
VOID!
The love Sake had received earlier vanishes as “Schism”
by Tool blasts through the P.A. system. The deafening jeers spill onto the
entryway as the unorthodox human being, the man who deems himself “Void,”
approaches the squared circle.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Well, it’s quite obvious
who the fan favorite is in this match up.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Quite frankly, these
people are idiots for cheering anyone.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Anyway, Sake walks into
this singles contest with one win, while on the contrary, Void walks in with a
loss. Perhaps Void can even up the score tonight, eh, Cassidy?
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Yeah, yeah. Perhaps,
perhaps. Whatever. Let’s just get this match going already.
Referee Joseph Reid singles for the bell, and it rings
accordingly.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Here we go. Sake with the
obvious size advantage here.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> No shit, Sherlock. He’s
only a whole foot taller than Void is.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> And two inches, to be
exact.
Both Jonny Sake and Void approach each other in the center
of the ring as Joseph Reid steps back. It seems both opponents come upon a
mutual agreement in a collar-and-elbow tie-up. However, Void smartly avoids this
mistake as he drops to one knee, ducking underneath Sake’s arm, and swiveling
to his backside.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Void’s half-smart, you
know? That was good thinking to latch in a rear waistlock.
With a rear waistlock applied, Void takes the
self-proclaimed “Big Daddy” to the ground with a double leg takedown.
Following up on his advantage, Void mounts himself upon Sake’s back and begins
to deliver a barrage of punches to his opponent’s cranium. Jonny attempts to
roll out of his detrimental position, but it is to no avail as Void continues
with the assault.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Wow! Void’s really taking
it to the big man early on! I’m surprised he was able to take the advantage so
early!
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Hell, even I could take
Jonny down.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> If you say so.
Referee Joseph Reid eventually pulls Void off of Sake. As
Void watches Sake pull himself up to his feet with use of the ropes, Void begins
to charge. He dives into the air, looking for the hopeful shoulder block
takedown, but Sake sees it coming a mile away and ducks immediately, using
Void’s shifting momentum to deliver a back body drop. As Void somersaults in
the air, his legs catch the top rope. Of course, this doesn’t necessarily harm
Void, but it sure as Hell catapults him back the way he came with a backflip. As
he’s coming down, he catches Sake firmly with a front facelock before drilling
his skull into the canvas.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> (impressed) What the
Hell?!
<b>Truth Waters:</b> I can’t believe it,
Cassidy! That was a remarkable string of reversals right there!
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Uh, there was only two
reversals there, Truth.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> So? Sake attempted to
reverse Void’s diving shoulder block with a back body drop, but Void’s legs
caught the top rope. Of course, that allowed him to perform a springboard
moonsault DDT! Truly amazing athleticism from Void, right there!
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Well, it was great, but
not <I>that</I> great, Truth.
Back on his feet, Void aids his opposition to his feet as
well. Throwing in a couple of straight right punches, Void Irish whips Sake into
the opposite set of ropes. On the rebound, Void nails a beautifully executed,
textbook dropkick!
. . .
To nobody! Sake hangs himself up in the top rope, watching
as Void performs a dropkick, but with nobody home! Sake approaches the currently
downed Void and lifts him to his feet. Sake latches onto Void with a
belly-to-belly suplex, 90 degrees style. Otherwise known as the T-Bone suplex
setup. Up and over goes Void as Sake dumps him on his head.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Exploder suplex! Exploder
suplex!
<b>George Cassidy:</b> That could be a pretty
lethal maneuver when done properly.
Sake covers his opponent.
<I>ONE!</I>
Void sticks his foot out onto the rope to break the count.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Smart thinking on Void’s
behalf. Great ring presence.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Truth, are you
<I>seriously</I> trying to tell me sticking your foot out onto the
bottom rope is a matter of intelligence? My name could be Truth Waters for all I
care, with half a brain, and I would <I>still</I> know how to stick
my foot on the rope!
Sake reaches a vertical basis, aiding Void in the process. A
foot to Void’s gut causes him to double over. Sake applies a gut-wrench onto
his opponent before powerbombing him onto the canvas. Of course, this is
followed by another quick cover.
<I>ONE!
TWO!</I>
Void kicks out with ease. Both men make it up to their feet
once more. It seems they mutually agree upon a collar-and-elbow tie-up as the
lock up in the center of the ring. Sake, with the obvious size advantage, powers
Void against the ropes. Joseph Reid breaks them up, thus causing Sake to back
away from Void. Assessing and taking advantage of the situation, Void instantly
vaults from the mat and into Sake’s gut with a vicious spear. Mounting himself
on top of him, he delivers a bombardment of fists for the second time tonight.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Void’s really taking it
to him. He’s throwing elbows and forearms along with those fists!
Relenting on the fistic assault, Void quickly grapples Sake
into a front facelock. Void rolls over until he’s on his own back with Sake
positioned on top of him. Wrapping his legs firmly around Sake’s midsection,
he begins to squeeze the life out of him whilst wrenching down upon his neck.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Well, it seems Void has
Sake locked in the middle of the ring with nowhere to go.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Maybe so. Though, Sake does
have the power advantage. Perhaps he could muscle his way out of this situation.
As if feeding off of Truth’s words, Sake begins to muster
every ounce of strength within his frame and explodes violently, ripping
Void’s arms apart from around his neck. Sake forces Void’s grapevined legs
off of his midsection and powers up to his feet. Void quickly nips up to his
feet as well.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Well, back to square one
now. Let’s hope Jonny finishes this quickly.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> What makes you so sure
Sake’s going to win?
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Because he’s bigger.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Oh.
Void charges at Sake before doubling over, placing his head
right between Sake’s legs.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> What an idiot! He just
put himself in the worst situation possible when it comes to a powerhouse like
Sake! A standing headscissors won’t be good for Void!
However, as if to refute Cassidy’s words, Void shifts his
momentum upward, causing his legs to travel upward until they wrap around
Sake’s neck. Finally, Void finds himself in a seated position upon Sake’s
shoulders. He begins hammering away into Sake’s cranium.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> An idiot, huh?
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Well… it looked like he
was just trying to get his neck broken with a piledriver or something to me.
To finish off the string of punches, Void spikes Sake’s
skull into the canvas with a vicious hurricanrana.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Holy Hell, Cassidy! That
was a mean rana from Void. Sake’s head almost went through the canvas with
that one.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Psshaww. Yeah, right.
Void performs a lateral press as Joseph Reid moves into
position.
<I>ONE!
TWO!
THR--!</I>
Sake powers out of the pinfall at about 2.5 seconds.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Whoa, talk about a close
call. Sake was literally a half a second way from losing this match up.
As both men are on their opponent, Void bounces off of the
ropes, looking to behead Void with a somersault clothesline. Fortunately for the
Big Daddy, he ducks just in time, allowing Void to land back-first onto the mat.
Sake approaches Void and lifts him to his feet, only before delivering a
devastating knee to the midsection. With Void doubled over and at his mercy,
Sake drills his elbow into his opponent’s neck, causing him to collapse to the
mat on all fours. Sake rears back with his feet, and field goal kicks Void
straight in the mouth.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> AND THE FIELD GOAL IS
GOOD!
<b>Truth Waters:</b> That was a dirty move on
Sake’s behalf.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Dirty, but good
nonetheless.
As Void struggles to his knees, Sake rears back with his
foot once more.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> AND THE FIELD GOAL IS…
As Sake is about to destroy his opposition’s jaw with a
second kick, Void reaches up instantly and throws Sake’s foot to the side.
This causes Sake to swivel 360 degrees, but he’s able to recuperate from the
reversal and execute a wrecking haymaker to Void’s jaw instead.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> …IS WIDE!
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Ah, shut up, Truth.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Why, Cassidy? It’s only
the Truth. No pun intended.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> That was a horrible,
horrible pun. I’d expect better from you, Mr. Waters.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> I said it was
<I>not</I> intended.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Suuure you did. You know,
that’s what people say when they <I>really</I> do purposely add
the pun.
Sake lifts Void to his feet and Irish whips him into the
nearest corner. Following up, Sake delivers a demolishing clothesline onto his
helpless opponent. However, not allowing Void’s immobile body to slump to the
ground, Sake follows it up with a second clothesline into the corner.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Wow! Those powerful
clothesline are destroying Void in the corner! He has no escape!
Sake applies a front facelock before lifting Void into the
air. He holds him in the air for about ten seconds before…
…Void slips out from behind, latching onto Sake with a
rear waistlock!
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Hmm… a reversal from
Void. Let’s see what he does with this.
However, the reversal comes short as Sake throws a back
elbow smash, which connects on the bridge of Void’s nose. He pulls Void into
the corner as he steps up the turnbuckles with his back facing the crowd. Sake
bends over from the top rope and lifts Void up until his feet are settled upon
the second turnbuckle.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Oh no, Cassidy. This
isn’t gonna be pretty.
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Ha! That’s pretty
funny.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Why’s that?
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Because that’s what I
said before I saw your mom last night.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Why, you sonuva…
As Sake attempts to lift Void into the air with a front
facelock, Void delivers a punch to Sake’s gut out of nowhere!
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Hmm… Void’s fighting
back. Let’s see if he messes up this comeback as well.
With the front facelock already applied, Void uses his free
right arm to hook Sake’s leg. Utilizing every ounce of strength in his body,
Void muscles Sake up and over. With help from their positioning amongst the
turnbuckles, Void is able to drop Sake directly onto his neck with a humungous
fisherman Brainbuster!
<b>Truth Waters:</b> OH MY GOD! THE INEQUALITY!
THAT’S THE INEQUALITY!
<b>George Cassidy:</b> Holy BeJesus… that
looked like it broke Sake’s neck.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> Void would never have been
able to take Sake up and over with the Inequality if it wasn’t for the help of
the turnbuckle.
Void hooks both of Sake’s legs as Joseph Reid begins the
count.
<I>ONE!
TWO!
THREE!</I>
“Schism” by Tool resounds throughout the Wesbanco Arena
as Void stands to his feet. Joseph Reid raises his hand into the air, but Void
quickly withdraws it before sliding out of the ring. The fans in attendance are
obviously displeased with the outcome as the jeer the victor up the ramp way.
<b>James Brunt:</b> The winner… VOID!
<b>George Cassidy:</b> I can’t believe it.
Void actually defeated Jonny Sake.
<b>Truth Waters:</b> I can, Sake. It’s now
obvious that Void was only prepping Sake up for the Inequality from the start.
The Exploder suplex. The headlock and bodyscissors combination. Void wanted to
put Sake out with his trademark maneuver from the start. And he accomplished
just that.
