"Tearing Away" by Drowning Pool hits and so do the boos. RDV seems to revel in them, smirking the whole way to the ring.
Tex: The fans not behind RDV tonight.
Banter: And the award for Obvious statement of the year goes to..
Before Banter can finish, the crowd drowns him out, going nuts when they hear the first strains of "Gimme Three Steps" by
Lynyrd Skynard.
Tex: But they're certainly behind Bob.
Banter: But only because they don't know him.
The rythymic sounds of Maori drums provide a mellow counterpoint, as Tane Rau comes down and joins his opponents, RDV
stalking about the ring, Bob looking around the arena, a grin plastered across his face.
Banter: ARRGH! That's awful, what is it?!
Tex: That's traditional music, have some respect.
As Tex and Banter argue, the music cuts out, the tron goes to static, and the lights go out.
Tex: We're experiencing a power failure here..
Banter: The only failure is Tex's inability to recognize the entrance of a true star, CODEK!
But as the lights come back on, Codek isn't in sight. The referee shrugs, then rings the bell. By now, Bob and Tane Rau
have made their way up the steps on oppisite sides of the ring. They both seem to be focused on getting RDV, who is just as
aware that he's in trouble. He charges toward the corner nearest the ramp and hits a spinning roundhouse kick on Tane Rau,
knocking him back into the barricade.
Tex: Unfair tactics by RDV here.
Banter: Just making sure the match itself is fair..you do want a fair match right Tex?
RDV takes the attack to Bob, jumping up and launching a hurricanrana..that's blocked and reversed into a wicked powerbomb.
Bob grins and pulls RDV to his feet, locking in a sideheadlock.
Tex: Bob showing no signs of being a rookie to the big times, dominating this vet.
Banter: Two moves..ooh, the domination.
RDV manages a couple side punches, forcing Bob to loosen the hold. RDV jerks his head free and makes a waistlock on Bob,
launching him skyward in a picture-perfect German Suplex. But before he can follow up, a returning Tane Rau, a bit bloodier
than when he left the apron, hits a dropkick that staggers the former tag champ.
Banter: See! Unfair, this is a two on one
Tex: Well if Codek were here, maybe things would be a bit better. Where is your "true star"?
The answer to Tex's question becomes apparent, as Codek slides out from under the ring and locks in a sharpshooter around the
ringpost on Bob.
Banter: He was just waiting to make an impact, and I think he is with the Mid-stride.
Tex: Even if it's an illegal hold..
Banter: What the ref doesn't see..
But the ref does see, and forces Codek to break the hold. Meanwhile RDV is back on the offensive, hitting a series of
suplexes on Tane Rau. Snap. Belly to Belly. Fisherman's. Tane Rau is slow to get to his feet after this offensive flurry,
and RDV goes for a quick cover. The ref is slow to notice, as he's still arguing with Codek about the hold. After several
seconds he whirls around to make the count.
1!
2!!
KICKOUT!!
RDV is enraged..if the ref had actually been doing his job, he'd be back in the real lockerroom now. He snaps, and backs the
ref into the corner. Before he can take any action, a limping Bob comes to the rescue, whirling RDV around and bulldogging
him to the canvas.
Tex: The action is getting fast and furious now.
Banter: Yeah, and those guys are cheating!
The reason for Banter's anger is the faces both being in control, Bob bodyslamming RDV in one corner, Tane Rau scoop slamming
Codek. The kiwi follows up locking in a submission, but he's way too close to the ropes.
Banter: Stupid move, a submission on a submissions expert.
Tex: He didn't reverse it did he?
Banter: You're missing the point.
Bob picks RDV up for a powerbomb, but this time RDV manages a huricanrana, sending Bob to the other side of the ring. Then
he notices the brawling Tane RAu and Codek and sneers. With a quick two step running start, he launches the Eliminator
(superkick) at the back of Codek's head. Codek barely notices out the corner of his eye and dives sideways, allowing Tane
Rau to be launched into the corner. RDV shrugs, then bounces off the ropes and rolls towards Bob.
Banter: Rolling Waggons!
Tex: But what's RDV doing, he just hit the Eliminator or Tane Rau?
Banter: Taking out ALL his opponents, a smart way to do it.
Bob rolls out of the ring in pain, and RDV is quick to follow, vaulting to the top rope, then jumping again, executing a 180.
A third jump sends him airborne in a headfirst flip, landing a moonsault on Bob.
Banter: Triple jump moonsault! BEAUTIFUL!
Tex: I'll give him credit, yes it was. But meanwhile Codek seems to be on the verge of ending this match.
Codek has the blackout locked in, a finger to the temple of Tane RAu's head. The ref raises the foreigner's hand once. It
falls. A second time, with the same result.
Banter: It's over, he's out!
Banter hit the nail on the head, as Tane Rau is unconcious. The ref motions for the bell.
Ring Announcer: Your winner, and moving onto the main lockerroom..CODEK!
Another voice cuts in.
"Good job kid!"
Tex: Oh great, who gave RDV a mic?
Banter: shut up, I can't hear.
RDV: I knew you could do it given the opportunity! That's why I kept Bob out of your way. Good job! I'm proud of ya, first win, and it's a major one.
With that, RDV slides into the ring, gives Codek an akward hug due to Codek shying away, then raises his opponents hand in victory, as the fans boo them both.
