Legacy Championship Number One Contendership The Grudge Vs Fear
JP: Now this next match has heard heated words from both parties all week!
Sully: You've got that right, JP.. I think The Grudge and Fear are gonna give the fans their moneys worth tonight!
JP: This match of course has a bright light at the end of the tunnel.. The number one contender spot, for the Legacy Championship!
Sully: In my opinion either one of these men will make a fine Champion.. A lot better than that damn Leandro, who still hasn't even turned up yet.
JP: Well, I'm not too sure about that, Sully.. But one of these men will have their chance to face The Beast after tonight, I can guarantee you that!
Jackie Frazier: The following match is scheduled for one fall.. And it's for the Number One Contender spot for the NLR Legacy Championship!
["Liberate" by Disturbed blares over the speakers, as the house lights drop out. The crowd begin a chorus of boos as we sit in total darkness, awaiting The Demon Knight. Purple and red flames light up the stage, making a gateway of sorts as we hear a small section of fans begin a Fear chant.. It is quickly drowned out as Fear himself appears, walking through the flaming gateway, being heavily booed by the crowd majority..]
Jackie Frazier: From Death Valley.. Weighing in at 240lbs and standing at 6'4".. He is "The Demon Knight".. FEAR!
[Fear continues his slow decent towards the ring, now being accompanied by his manager, Payne.. The two taunt the crowd, feeding off their hatred. Fear takes his time circling around ringside, staring out into the sea of jeering fans. He stops before a young woman in the front row, and hands her a single black rose. The excited female reaches out to touch Fear, but only gets the back of his shoulders as he turns to slide under the ropes.. Payne gives the fan an indifferent look, before turning her attention back to Fear. Once inside the ring, his music stops, the lights return and Fear leans back against the ropes.]
Jackie Frazier: From Los Angeles..
["Anarchy" by Kmfdm hits, immediately getting a rather loud and mixed reaction..Blue and black lights hit the stage, as we await the arrival of The Grudge.]
Jackie Frazier: Weighing in at 235lbs.. And standing at 6'4".. He is "The Homicidal Creep".. THE GRUDGE!
[The Grudge wastes no time in walking out onto the stage, welcoming the many boos from the crowd. Decked out in a pair of black jeans, and a Nine Inch Nails shirt The Grudge stares daggers into the awaiting Fear.. As he casually walks down the rampway, Grudge points a finger at The Demon Knight and then brings it back across his throat.. Fear gets in a ready stance, as Grudge bolts the rest of the way and slides under the ropes..]
Sully: The Grudge is going straight in, no regrets!
JP: Here we go, fans.. This should be an intense matchup.
[The beginning bell is heard as Fear runs across the ring, meeting a rising Grudge with some clubs to the back.. Fear keeps them coming, but Grudge jumps up and starts firing away some right hands of his own! Both men are trading punches in the middle of the ring, with Fear looking to have the upper hand.. He roughly pushes Grudge back into the turnbuckle, as both mens arms are tied up together.. The referee makes record time in geting between the two, and breaking them apart! As he struggles to push them away from eachother, Fear leans over his head and hits a sneaky eye-rake on Grudge.. The Demon Knight walks back, giving an evil smile out to the crowd, getting a truckload of boos in return. He turns around and is met with a sudden stiff clothesline by The Grudge! Fear hits the mat hard! The Grudge stands back and yells out for Fear to "Get the fuck up!", with an intense look in his eyes!]
JP: A nice shot there by The Grudge! Haven't seen The Grudge this energized since his early MWF days, Sully!
Sully: Fear is gonna have to fight hard to win this one, thats for sure!
[Fear gets to his feet, as Grudge walks over.. But Fear raises a sudden knee, and another, and another! Knocking the wind out of The Grudge, as he doubles over.. Fear throws his arms around the midsections of his opponent, and attempts an Overhead Suplex.. But The Grudge brings his hands up and uses both to rake the eyes! Fear coils back in pain, clutching his face after copping a dose of his own medicine..]
Sully: Karma can leave a sting, can't it?
[Fear has no time to defend himself as The Grudge nails a perfect Russian Leg Sweep, snapping Fear's head into the canvas! Grudge peels The Demon Knight off the mat, and whips him against the ropes.. Fear ducks a clothesline, and comes reeling back with flying Cross Body that takes The Grudge down! Fear grabs a handful of tights, and stays down for the pin.. One..Tw-Kick-Out! The Grudge pushes Fear off, quickly getting to his feet with a pissed off expression.. The crowd almost cheer for The Grudge..almost. The two waste no time in locking up, shoulder to elbow, before Grudge gets the upper hand snapping Fear around into a short headlock. Fear slaps against Grudges forearm, his face contorting with the pressure.. Before using his strength to push The Grudge against the ropes. He comes back, ducking an attempted chop by Fear, and delivering a snappy Dropkick to the grill of Fear!]
JP: Ooooh, I think Fear needs to count his teeth after that hit!
Sully: Listen to that smack!
[A quick replay is shown, as both men remain down.. The noise of Grudge connecting with that Dropkick buzzes the crowd once again. The referee checks on Fear, as Grudge gets to his feet and heads over towards his opponent.. He stops suddenly, looking down at ringside at Fear's manager, Payne. The fiery Payne begins trash-talking with The Homicidal Creep, who is now over at the ropes pointing a finger down towards her.. She quickly looks past him, making eye contact with Fear. He reads the plan like a book, and dashes across the ring, cradling the unsuspecting Grudge into a Schoolboy Pin variation.. The referee drops down.. One.. Two-Kick-Out!!]
JP: What an underhanded tactic by Fear..
Sully: Hey, whatever gets the job done! It was cunning, you've gotta give him that!
[The Grudge looks extremely irate, as he gets up and storms over to Fear.. Who slides out of the ring, and heads towards Payne. Grudge paces inside the ring, never taking his eyes off The Demon Knight and his manager. The crowd buzzes, as The Grudge calls his opponent back in, shouting at him.. Fear gives an arrogant smile, looking around the stands with confidence. The referee begins counting out Fear, but after three he slides back into the ring.. Both men stare at eachother from across the canvas, mouthing off rapidly.. The both clash in the centre, trading blow after blow.. Right hands are flying as the crowd cheer on with the back-and-forth battle. Finally, The Grudge gains the upper hand with a few elbows to the face and a quick Snap Suplex! Fear gets back up, only to be met with a stiff elbow to the solar plexus followed by a nicely executed DDT.. Grudge rolls over for the cover.. One.. Two-Kick-Out! The referee cops a viscous glare by The Grudge, who peels his opponent off the mat with ease.. Fear's mouth is wide open in pain, as The Grudge rears him back into the turnbuckle. SLAP! The Homicidal Creep nails a clean slap to the chest, and attempts another.. But Fear blocks the hand, and starts firing a couple of throat thrusts off.. He quickly flips The Grudge around, and chokes him against the ropes]
JP: This isn't exactly a textbook move, folks..
Sully: Nothing about this match is textbook, JP.. These guys want a shot at the gold, and they will sink to any depths to get it!
JP: Well, the animosity between these two is boiling right now!
[Fear holds the choke as the referee comes over and begins the count.. One.. Two.. Three.. Four..Fear lets go, looking out to the jeering crowd with disgust. He lifts the face of The Grudge up to eye level, and slaps him hard across the cheek! Payne at ringside can be heard mocking him, as The Demon Knight props The Grudge upon the top 'buckle.. Suddenly, Grudge finds a spark of energy and throws some fists into the face of Fear! In a sickening move, he brings Fear's face down connecting with the right knee of The Grudge!]
Sully: Oooooh, there's your broken nose right there!
[Fear drops from the turnbuckle, landing flat on his back inside the ring.. His hands are clutching his face, obviously feeling to see if his nose is still intact after that shot! The Grudge gives a sadistic smile to Payne at ringside, standing atop the third 'buckle and signalling for a Flying Headbutt!! He looks down upon the fallen Demon Knight, before diving out through the air.. The cameras flash, and we hear Payne scream as The Grudge delivers a bone-crunching Headbutt!! Fears body spasms with pain, still clutching his face.. As The Homicidal Creep rolls over onto his back, wincing in pain himself..]
JP: A perfectly executed Flying Headbutt right there, that is sure to gain The Grudge the upper
hand in this match..
Sully: He's going for the cover!
[Grudge ignores the pain and moves in for the pinfall, hooking the leg.. One.. Two.. NO! The crowd gives a huge roar of boos as we see The Demon Knight's left leg hanging from the bottom rope! The referee calls for the "Rope-break" as The Grudge slaps his hand against the canvas, and glares out at the not-so-innocent looking Payne. She raises her eyebrows at The Grudge, but quickly finds herself bolting around the ring, The Homicidal Creep in close pursuit!!]
JP: She had to know that was gonna cost her!
Sully: What was gonna cost her? She didn't do anything, JP!
JP: You know damn well she placed Fear's leg on the ropes!
Sully: No, no he already had it on the ropes.. She was just patting Fear's shoe.. For good luck!
[The Grudge chases Payne around the ring, as the fans rumble with excitement.. After a couple of laps, she slides under the ropes and into the ring! The Grudge dives in, as Payne runs over to the official, hiding behind his back! The referee turns around, taking his eyes off The Grudge for a moment when out of nowhere Fear comes behind The Grudge, locks his arms around and nails a viscous German Suplex! Payne leaves the ring, but Fear doesn't let go.. He raises The Grudge back up, and nails another German Suplex.. And finally, he lifts his opponent up delivering a third and final German Suplex!]
Sully: Looks like the tables have turned on The Grudge, huh?
[Fear jumps down for the cover.. One.. Two.. Th-Kick-Out!! The fans buzz, not wanting this match to end just yet.. The Demon Knight quickly mounts The Grudge and begins delivering some viscous punches. He rolls Grudge over and locks in a sharp Camel Clutch, stretching The Homicidal Creep causing him to scream out in pain. The referee gets down, and checks on Grudge.. Fear tightens the hold as Payne cheers him on from ringside.]
JP: The Grudge looks to be fading fast!
Sully: I told you, JP.. The tables have turned, the tables have turned..
[Fear keeps the hold locked in for another minute or so, before standing up and yelling at the fallen Grudge. The Demon Knight walks around the ring, calling out to the crowd.. He gets some serious heel heat from the rabid fans, before signalling for the end. Fear walks over, and peels The Grudge off the mat but is met with a sudden low blow!! Fear drops to his knees, as Grudge quickly pulls his arm away.. The referee was momentarily distracted and didn't see a thing!]
Sully: Come on! That was a blatant disqualification right there!
[The Grudge lifts Fear up high in the air, and throws him back down hard into the mat with a lethal Spinebuster! The ring shakes with the impact, and Fear slowly gets up to his feet.. Obviously still slightly dazed, Fear walks straight into a running Spear by The Grudge! He hooks the leg.. One.. Two.. Th-Kick-Out! The Grudge shakes his head, and roughly brings Fear to his feet, calling for The Grudge Ender..]
Sully: If he hits this it could be all over!
JP: Wait a second--
[As The Grudge gets Fear in position for the Double Arm DDT, The Demon Knight flips behind his opponent and pushes him against the ropes.. The Grudge comes back with a flailing clothesline, which Fear easily ducks.. A swift kick to the gut, and Grudge is doubled over in the perfect position for a Flipping Piledriver! Fear attempts the Gateway To Paradise, as the crowd rumbles.. But The Grudge back body drops The Demon Knight! Fear crashes to the mat and The Grudge falls to his knees. Payne can be heard at ringside screaming for Fear to get up, as The Homicidal Creep gets a hard glare in his eyes.. He brings both fists up, and yells something out to the crowd getting a mixed reaction. The Grudge peels Fear off the mat, but suddenly Fear throws a few elbows into his face and hooks him in position for The Martyr!]
JP: This is as unpredictable as it gets, Sully!
Sully: Fear could finish it right now!!
[The Grudge brings his knee up, grinding it against Fears nose, sending The Demon Knight reeling back.. He stumbles around the ring, and right into the Grudge Killer! The Homicidal Creep sends Fear crashing down into the mat with that Suplex/Neckbreaker variation, causing the thousands of fans to buzz! The Grudge takes no time in dropping on top of the fallen Fear, hooking the leg and yelling at the referee to make the fall.. One.. Two.. Three!!]
JP: The Grudge has won it!
Sully: He pulled the Grudge Killer out of nowhere!
JP: It's all over now, The Homicidal Creep is your Number One Contender!
[ "Anarky" by Kfmdm hits the speakers, as The Grudge rolls off Fear.. The crowd give a loud mixed reaction, and Payne slams her hands against the ring apron in disappointment. The Grudge gets to his feet, glaring down upon Fear.. As The Demon Knight gets checked by the referee, The Grudge walks over to the far turnbuckle and heads up top. He stands on the second ropes, and stares out into the sea of booing fans..]
Sully: Well, a hard fought battle and a well deserved win for The Grudge..
JP: Very true, Sully.. Either man could've had it, but The Grudge had enough to put Fear away and
become the Number One Contender..
[Fear gets to his hands and knees, as Payne slides into the ring and checks on her man.. The Grudge turns and looks upon this scene with a disgusted expression.. Suddenly, the entire arena erupts in applause as the first notes of "Cancion Del Mariachi" by Los Lobos & Antonio Banderas hits the speakers!! Every face turns to the entranceway, as the cheers continue with the music..]
JP: Well, it looks as though the NLR Legacy Champion himself has arrived!
Sully: And just look at The Grudge! It's like hes just seen a ghost..
JP: Or an enormous, psychotic Mexican named Leandro!!
[Both Fear and The Grudge have shocked looks on the faces, as El Mexicano Condena steps out onto the stage.. The crowd get louder with the appearance of The Beast, and we hear the common "LEANDRO! LEANDRO! LEANDRO!" chant begin to surge.. Holding the Legacy Championship in one hand, and spinning a pair of handcuffs around a finger on his other hand.. Leandro shoots a savage glare down towards the ring. His long, black hair hanging down on his shoulders, his massive tattooed torso shiny with beads of sweat. The Grudge steps down from the 'buckle and continues staring at The Beast.. ]
Sully: Why did he have to come out here? Whats gonna happen now?
JP: I have no idea, when Leandro is around nothing can be predicted.. No one is safe!
[The fans cheer on The Mexican Convict, as he slowly walks down towards the ring.. The Beast lets out an animalistic roar as he comes within feet of the ring apron, dropping his Legacy Championship and handcuffs.. Both The Grudge and Fear are now in fighting stances, awaiting Leandro to enter. Ignoring eachother, both men stare intently at the Legacy Champion, listening to the fans chant his name. Slowly, The Beast climbs up the ring apron and heads into the ring.. Immediately the fists start flying, as both Fear and The Grudge run over, belting into The Beast! The crowd buzz as Leandro trades punches with both men, sending Fear back against the ropes.. Out of nowhere The Grudge jumps up, latches his arms around the massive Leandro and begins pummeling his skull! The Mexican Convict stumbles back, as he clubs the spine of The Grudge, trying to get him off.. But The Grudge won't let go. Finally, The Beast brings his hands around, lifts The Grudge up by his neck and drives him painfully into the canvas!]
Sully: Ouch! You could hear that impact up in the rafters!
JP: The Grudge just arching his back in pain!
[Leandro lets out a thunderous roar, which is replied by a huge cheer from the crowd.. Fear runs over to attack, but is met with a jaw-breaking Clothesline.. Leandro storms across the ring, heads over the top-rope and reaches down for those handcuffs.. The fans rumble with excitment, as The Beast gets a viscous glare in his eyes.. Walking back inside the ring, with those handcuffs hanging from his claw]
JP: What's he got planned now?
Sully: This does not look good for anyone involved!
[The Mexican Convict charges at Fear, who is slowly getting to his feet.. And latches the handcuffs around his wrist! Leandro brings some hard elbows down into his face, before dragging Fears lifeless body across the ring.. And reaching The Grudge. Leandro goes to grab him, but The Homicidal Creep fires away some right hands, sending the Legacy Champion reeling back.. The Grudge doesn't let up, keeping thoes fists pumping.. Finally, he throws one last knee into the stomach of Leandro, and pulls him down in position for the Grudge Killer! The Grudge tries to lift The Beast off the mat, but it's like pulling a concrete pillar from the ground.. He struggles against the weight, when all of a sudden, Leandro lifts The Grudge up into a stalling suplex position! The fans begin to stir, as El Mexicano Condena holds The Grudge up there for a good three or four seconds.. Until turning around and dropping him sternum first into the turnbuckle! The Grudge's body bounces off the steel, sending him crashing down into the mat..]
Sully: I think he just broke some ribs there!
JP: I hate to think what's gonna happen next, Sully..
[Leandro wastes no time in hand-cuffing the two together, as the crowd begin the "Leandro! Leandro!" chant.. The Legacy Champion lifts both men off the mat, sends them back into the ropes and executes a brutal double Clothesline, sending them awkwardly spiralling to the concrete below! Both men twists around eachother as they fall, landing incredibly wrong.. The crowd give a genuine "Oooooh" with the landing, knowing just how much that would've hurt.. But Leandro doesn't even give them a second glance. He simply throws his head back, and lets out an animalistic roar! He stares those bloodshot eyes around the sea of fans, cheering for him as we go to commercial. ]
