RISE [7.27.13]

[/B]

The crowd continues to cheer and a few of the guys whistle when she gets up onto the ring apron and poses for them. She leans backward against the ropes and does a full backflip over them into the ring, the crowd continuing to cheer her on as her music fades out. Replacing it is "Blow Me Away" by Breaking Benjamin as Sierra Starr appears on the stage, alongside her brother, Ryan, also garnering a pretty positive reaction. She heads down the ramp and greets some fans along the way, all the while keeping an eye on the ring, knowing what she has to do to get the win. She slides into the ring and meets Nikita in the middle.

Salvatore Pellegrino: And her opponent....from Tampa, Florida.... SIERRAAAA STAAAAAARR![/B]

The two women back up a few steps and the bell rings, and they circle around. Nikita lunges at Sierra, who sidesteps out of the way and quickly drops down to apply an armbar. Nikita is able to squirm her way out of it quickly though, before it can do any real damage. They lock up now, and Sierra shoves Nikita into the corner, then starts to hold the rope and stomp at Nikita's midsection repeatedly until Nikita falls into a seated position. Sierra then shoves her knee into the throat of Nikita, and the ref gives her a five count for her to let go of the hold, as Nikita has the ropes, obviously. Sierra backs off as Nikita gets to her feet, and Sierra charges, but Nikita rolls out of harm's way and out of the ring, sliding back in quickly to kick a somewhat dazed Sierra in the sides until she falls to a knee. Nikita backs up and runs, looking for a running boot to the head, but Sierra turns and catches the leg, looking to apply a Figure Four leg lock. Nikita kicks around a bit though, eventually catching Sierra in the jaw, and she lets go, holding her face.

Mike Vincent: Ouch, a pretty hard kick there, looks like she might be bleeding too.

Sierra lets go of her face to get up, but no, she isn't bleeding. Ryan slaps the mat a couple times, shouting some encouragement to his sister. She charges and hits Nikita with a lariat, then picks her up and whips her to the ropes, and when Nikita comes back, Sierra connects with a Flapjack, and a quick crowd pop. Sierra rolls onto her front, grabs Nikita's legs, and flips forward, with an interesting rollup.
ONE...
TW--kickout

Sierra gets to her feet and pulls Nikita up by her hair. She kicks Nikita in the gut, then proceeds to plant her into the mat with a DDT. Nikita rolls to the aprona nd gets to her feet on the outside, springboarding up onto the top rope and looking for a springboard dropkick, but Sierra reacts quickly and turns it into a Powerslam! She covers again, hooking a leg, but there's a shoulder up quickly. She gets up and takes a step back, looking as though she might be looking to end this with a Starry Night. Nikita rolls to a rope, pulling herself up with the help of it. Sierra then takes the chance and runs over, hitting a lariat and both women spill to the outside, to the crowd's adoration. They both get up quickly now, the adrenaline really pumping. The ref waits a second before starting a count, and Sierra whips Nikita into the ring stairs.(.....1......2) Sierra pulls Nikita to her feet and scoops her up, looking for a Scoop Slam, but Nikita squirms around before falling behind Sierra to her feet and planting Sierra with an Inverted DDT! (.....3 .....4) Nikita picks Sierra up, gaining the advantage now, and she throws Sierra into the guardrail, Sierra hitting it full force with her shoulder to try to avoid hitting anything more sensitive with it.

Mike Vincent: This is getting to be a very violent matchup for both of these women.

Benji Mathews: When there's a belt on the line, it happens. Everyone loves to wear those belts, even though they don't keep your pants up...

Nikita picks Sierra up and rolls her into the ring, and pulls her so Sierra's neck and head are hanging over the apron. She then climbs up onto the apron and hits a leg drop that sends Sierra into a world of pain, and Nikita slides into the ring, pulling her to the center, and covering with a leg hook quickly.
ONE...
TWO...
THRE-NO!

Nikita looks incredibly shocked now, and gets to her feet, pulling on her hair trying to figure out what else she has to do. She stands over the head of Sierra, who is able to kick a foot up and kick Nikita in the head, which sends her to the mat. Sierra gets to her feet and stomps on Nikita a couple times, then picks her up and whips her into the corner. She runs over and sends Nikita through the air with a monkey flip, then turns to face the downed opponent, boosting herself into a sitting position on the turnbuckle and stands on the second rope, jumping off as Nikita gets to her feet and hits her with a flying elbow, fully rolling forward and to her feet. She turns around to Nikita, who is slowly getting to her feet and hits her with the Broken Dreams in vicious fashion!
ONE...
TWO...
THRE--NO!

Mike Vincent: Great clothesline there!

Sierra looks ecstatic thinking she got the win, then realizes she didn't and it wears off quickly. She grabs Nikita, who shoves her, and Sierra goes at her and NIkita hits her with a dropkick. Nikita stays on a knee for a second, seeing Sierra getting up and lunging at her with a clothesline. She picks Sierra up, looking for the Eternal Neon, but Sierra gets out of it, steps aorund Nikita and when she turns around she is met with the Starry Night as Sierra falls onto her for a cover.
ONE...
TWO...
THREE!

Salvatore Pellegrino: Here is your winner, and first AXW Women's Champion.... SIERRAAAAA STAAAAARRRR!

Sierra gets to her feet and is handed the belt, which she holds tight to her body in an embrace as she gets from her knees to her feet. She goes to each side of the ring and holds the title belt up for the fans to see, so ecstatic about the win as Nikita rolls out of the ring, clearly exhausted after the hard fought match.

We go backstage to Caitlin Shay with James Galleon.

Caitlin Shay: James Galleon, why do you think you'll become AXW Champion?

James Galleon: I don't think, wench, I know. I'm a king in a world of peasants. I am the King of AXW and the true Diamond, not that pseudo-diamond in that "Wenches and Colonies" group.

Caitlin Shay: Uh, thanks for your time.

vs.

Sean Prodigy had control for most of the match up, until he accidentally knocked the ref out. That's when "House of 1000 Corpses" played, and Reverend Robert Banks came out. He would enter the ring, staring at both men, before connecting a Final Judgment on Sean Prodigy. He immediately leaves the ring, leaving Trent looking on in shock and confusion. Trent though quickly takes advantage, waking up the referee and pinning Sean for the three count.

We go backstage to Caitlin Shay with Ryan Starr.

Caitlin Shay: Ryan, why do you think you'll become the first AXW Champion?

Ryan Starr: I have a lot to prove. Until a few weeks ago, I've been off the map for two years. Everyone's gonna try to take advantage of that, but what they don't know is that I'm better than ever. The spotlight seems to be on Aries and Rockefeller, but winning this title will show everybody that they should be watching me, not some washed up year-long feud.

Caitlin Shay: Thanks for your time, Ryan.


vs.

A LOUD Freight Train Whistle Blows, before the starting intro of "Here comes the Boom" - by Nelly begins as the big man from the D, known as FRAY8TRAIN makes his way out from behind the curtain, along with his partner Joe Coffey. Fr8 and Coffey flex their pecks and rolls their shoulders as they look around at the audience. Fr8 then poses in a slow double arm muscle pose in front of his chest, then mimics' his 'Dropping Da Bomb' first drop on the floor, before looking up towards the ring with a dominant roar! He then rises to his feet and lightly bounces on the balls of them, while shadow boxing. Coffey and Train bump fists and then begin walking towards the ring while slapping as many hands fans as possible. They reach ringside and leap up onto the ring apron, gripping the top rope. They duck under the top rope and enter the ring. Each man rises to a corner and repeat the strong man pose, showing off their Adonis-like physiques. They meet back in the center of the ring and glare towards the entrance way, eagerly waiting their chance to get even with Fallen Angel!


The opening chill and beat of “Hell” by Disturbed comes forth from the PA system, red strobelights pulsing to the beat, a very eerie hue of red. When the guitar and roar of vocals hit, flames explode. Through the smoke comes Fallen Angel, clad in a long crimson colored trenchcoat, which is covering his black t-shirt and matching leather pants. He holds a black scepter cane in his hand as he begins his slow walk to the ring, a truly sinister stare plastered on his face until his eyes shoot wide open noticing Fray8train and Joe Coffey barreling right up the ramp towards him! Fallen Angel quickly blasts Joe across the head with his scepter, stumbling him as Fray8train approaches him next and lands a huge fist to his forehead, knocking the scepter out of his hands as the two begin to trade powerful punches back and forth up the ramp!


Joe returns to the fight quickly as both of them alternate fast paced punches with Fallen Angel who manages to slug the both of them in the head about as many times as they do to him combined, but eventually the duo manages to stumble Angel, synchronizing their punches together as they blast him with tandem shots to the forehead until they reach the top of the ramp. After staggering back several steps, Fray8train yells loudly into the air, “FRAY8TRAIN!! WOOT WOOT!!” before charging ahead of Joe at Fallen Angel with an animalistic scream! Fallen Angel ducks a massive clothesline attempt and bolts forth instantly, spearing Coffey onto the ramp hard instead! Before Angel returns to his feet, he fishes his scepter back into his hands and as soon as Fray8train yanks him up by the trenchcoat, Angel turns around and slams the scepter hard into his forehead, knocking him down on the ramp as well!


The referee tries desperately to convince Fallen Angel to get into the ring, but all it takes is a menacing glare from Fallen Angel to send the referee running backwards. Angel follows Fray8train to the stage, finally having enough time to take his trenchcoat off and he uses it to his advantage by wrapping it around Fray8train's neck and pulls backwards choking Fray8train out mercilessly! Fray8train reaches out for the scepter that Fallen Angel dropped in the process, but it's no use as he flails around wide-eyed until Joe Coffey runs up from behind Fallen Angel and swings him around into a reverse STO face first on the ramp to a large groan from the audience! Joe helps his partner up and Fray8train grabs the scepter as the two of them begin to trade back and forth between punches from Joe and loud scepter shots across Fallen Angel's shoulder blades accompanied by a loud, “YEAH” every time from Fray8train, backing Angel down the ramp and towards the ring! When Angel gets to the ring apron, he plants both hands down on it firmly as Fray8train goes to smack him one more time in the shoulders, seeing a perfect opportunity, but Fallen Angel has planned for that and instead whips around in time to catch the scepter in his hands mid swing! With Fray8train shocked by Angel's strength and ability to catch the swinging scepter, Fallen Angel plants a boot into his gut, causing him to hunch over as he snatches the scepter back. What Angel wasn't expecting, however, was a swift and powerful super kick right to the jaw that would destablize him sending him stumbling back into the steel steps by Joe Coffey! This time Coffey would rip the scepter out of Angel's hands and he would throw it towards the other side of the ring as he proceeded to plant more punches to Angel's head, sitting him right down in front of the stairs before reeling back and delivering a knee to the face that bounces Angel's skull off the stairs behind him!


With Fallen Angel momentarily dazed, Joe and Fray8 pick him up to his feet and roll him back into the ring as the referee sounds for the bell to officially start the match! As soon as Angel returns to his feet, he is immediately whipped across the ropes with Fray8train somehow managing to leap frog over his fellow behemoth only for Coffey to catch Fallen Angel and slam him onto his back with a turning scoop slam followed by stereo elbows to the sternum by him and Fray8train! The referee has pretty much given up hope of trying to get any semblance of a tag-in system out of this match as Train and Coffey once again raise Fallen Angel to his feet and whip him harshly into one of the corners near the entrance ramp followed by a running full tilt running corner clothesline that drops Angel to a seated position in the corner by Train! Fray8train reels back and goes for a running corner hip splash only for Fallen Angel to wisely slip out of the ring under the bottom rope to resounding boos from the audience. Fallen Angel rubs at his head, clearly feeling the effects of the double team when Coffey quickly slides out of the ring and goes for a clothesline of his own only for Fallen Angel to catch him around the waist and toss him carelessly across the outside of the ring with a dangerous belly to belly suplex that landed Coffey hard near the guardrail just shy of hitting the stairs on the way!


Fallen Angel returns to his feet smirking a little bit at the damage done to Coffey when he turns around to find Fray8train standing on the apron. In an unusual tactic for the massive Train, he runs along the apron yelling, “YEEEEAAAAHHHH!” into the air before taking flight and body checking Fallen Angel across the floor with a massive flying shoulder tackle! The impact is enough to send Angel flying back into the guardrail near the downed Coffey as Fray8train raises his arms into the air and soaks in the cheers by shouting out to the fans again! Train lays into Fallen Angel with a few more solid closed hand punches to the head before dead-lifting Angel off the ground and tossing him chest first onto the guardrail, causing Angel to fall against the steel steps clutching his chest from the impact! Train goes to continue the assault, but Fallen Angel thinks quickly and throws his leg up kicking Train right in the groin, felling him to his knees accompanied by a long and over-dramatic, “AHHHRRRRGGGHH!” from Fray8train until Angel grabs him by the head and drives him straight down into the top of the stairs with a DDT! Train falls like a sack of anvils to the side of the stairs, now sporting a trickle of blood as Coffey returns to his feet swiftly nailing a shining wizard to Fallen Angel as he sits on the steps! Angel hits the back of his head hard on the steps and ring post as Coffey catches himself on the ropes, pulling Fallen Angel's upper torso into the ring under the turnbuckle with him before exiting the ring again himself. With Fallen Angel inside the ring under the turnbuckle and Coffey now standing on the apron, Coffey steps off the apron and back onto the stairs and reaches into the ring grabbing Fallen Angel's head and legs with either arm as he lays backwards on the stairs, yanking back on Angel's limbs as he braces himself with his feet and pulls Angel's back straight into the pole with an excruciating modified ring post-assisted bow and arrow stretch! The crowd goes crazy as for once Fallen Angel is screaming in pain as Joe Coffey pulls backwards as hard as he can!


Coffey can't maintain the hold for long however on account of precariously leaning backwards on the stairs, so he lets go after a few seconds and rolls off the stairs to meet Fray8train who is staggering to his feet, nursing his groin area after the low blow. The two of them nod to each and fist bump as they pull up the ring apron and pull out two object: a steel chair (Coffey) and a table (Train)! The crowd roars as the two slide into the ring with their weapons and Fallen Angel immediately slides onto his knees and begins clubbing Train in the back of the head frantically, all the while noticing Coffey as gets to his feet with his chair in tow. Coffey goes to swing the chair down at the back of Fallen Angel's head, but again Angel has the move scouted and rolls away, causing the chair shot to land hard on Train's back instead! Coffey's eyes go wide this time, now aware of the mistake he just made but he doesn't have enough time to make up for it because Fallen Angel gets right back to his feet and boots Coffey in the gut while simultaneously stomping the chair to the mat and out of his hands before driving Coffey into it face first with an impaler DDT in the center of the ring! Coffey sprawls out in the center of the ring and a sick smile creeps along as Angel retrieves the chair and moves over to the now crawling Fray8train, raising the chair high into the air to bash him when all of a sudden Fray8train shoots upwards nailing a crunching uppercut to Fallen Angel's groin to return the “favor” from earlier! The audience laughs hysterically as Train starts to smack talk Angel a bit with Angel slowly buckling to his knees and dropping the chair. Fray8train takes the opportunity to barrel across the ring, bounding off the ropes as Fallen Angel walks towards him in pain from the groin shot and Angel doesn't have enough to time to get out of the way as Train has just lured him into an incredible Fray8train Crossing (Exploding body check) that picks Fallen Angel clear off the mat and knocks him like a ragdoll into the ropes and to the mat! Fallen Angel raises his arms to the audience once again to get the crowd going even more before helping his buddy Joe to his feet as the two nurse their injuries and look to both the table and the downed Fallen Angel laying across the ring!


Joe and Fray8 move to the table and bring it to the ring where they set it up and await Fallen Angel as he uses the ropes to return to his feet, looking to end this once and for all! As soon as Fallen Angel turns around, Fray8train and Joe Coffey each slap a hand across Angel's throat and spin him around to face the table in the center of the ring, looking to slam him through the table with a double chokeslam- but no! Fallen Angel throws wild punches at both of his opponents as fast and hard as he can, eventually causing both of them to release him! Coffey backs into the ropes as Fallen Angel approaches him looking incredibly pissed off and Fray8train yells loudly again and charges in for a clothesline behind Fallen Angel! Angel's face lights up as Train just gave away his position and he tactically dives to the side, causing Fray8train to collide with Coffey, accidentally knocking him over the top rope with a huge clothesline! Fray8train looks on in concern and shouts, “Are you alright dawg?” to him as he leans over the ropes and as soon as he turns around, Fallen Angel levels him with thunderous chair shot that echoes off of his forehead and stains the chair with his blood! Fallen Angel proceeds to slam the chair down on him several more time until he is satisfied with the damage, and when he is, he pulls Fray8train's dead weight up onto his shoulders and spins around throwing Fray8train with a colossal Euphoria (F-5) planting him through the table with a sickening crack! Fallen Angel smirks and snickers once again, falling down on Fray8train for the cover!

Salvatore Pelligrino: Here is your winner, Fallen Angel!

“Hell” kicks back on as Fallen Angel returns to his feet and surveys the damage he caused throughout the match and smiling malevolently because of it! He puts one foot on Fray8train and raises his hands into the air as he unleashes an almost psychotic cackle of sadistic satisfaction!

We go backstage to Caitlin Shay with Cameron Kennedy Rockefeller.

Caitlin Shay: Cam--

Cameron Kennedy Rockefeller: (mimicking) "Why do you think you'll be AXW Champion?" You've been doing the same shtick all night. There's a more important issue than the AXW Championship, and that's this. (he holds up the USofI title) Fear not, this title will NOT be, in any way, shape or form, unified with the AXW Championship. I will win. Integrity always wins. This inteview is over.

He walks away before Caitlin can thank him.

vs. vs. vs.

Luke Mathews is watching the match from ringside.

The bell rings and Duncan Aries immediately goes after CKR. Galleon then attacks Aries, and Starr goes after Galleon, causing kind of a clusterfuck in the corner. CKR manages to escape by exiting the ring, with Duncan Aries going right after him. Aries grabs CKR and throws him hard into the ring steps. With CKR out for the time being, Aries returns to the ring, where Starr and Galleon have been going at it. There's a stare down between all three, before Galleon goes back after Aries. Starr and Aries team up for the time being, double teaming Galleon. Mostly clubs, until Aries and Starr nod at eachother and hit stereo superkicks to Galleon. Galleon falls to the mat before rolling out of the ring. With CKR and Galleon now on the floor outside, it's now down to Aries and Starr. It appears they're gonna go for a lockup, but Starr, being quite smaller, realizes he's not likely to win and looks to kick Aries. Aries catches his foot, to which Starr responds back with an enzuigiri. Starr looks for a quick cover.

One...

Kickout.

Mike Vincent: A lot of action going already, and the match barely started.

Benji Mathews: Shows how much this match means to these four men.

While Starr and Duncan continue to battle, we notice on the outside Galleon helping up CKR. They seem to make some sort of pact, and enter the ring, targeting Aries and Starr. CKR manages to take Starr out, throwing him out of the ring. Aries is putting up more of a fight, and finds himself getting double teamed. They manage to weaken Aries, and toss him out of the ring as well. They shake hands, and take time to boast to the crowd. Until Galleon tries to win over CKR via a roll-up.

One...

Two...

kickout.

Mike Vincent: Well that didn't last long.

Benji Mathews: I'm not sure who to root for in this. Galleon is the King, but then again he did call me a buffoon once...

They both get up. CKR looks at Galleon like, what are you doing? They seem to get into an argument before both are taken out by Starr via springboard front dropkick. All three land on the mat. CKR immediately rolls off to the side holding his face. Starr of course is right back up, but finds himself in a German suplex from Aries. Starr starts to get up, and Aries picks him up the rest of the way. He has him on the ropes, and whips him to the other side. Galleon intercepts Starr with a back body drop. Starr lands by the apron. Galleon then charges at Aries only to get roundhouse kicked in the face. Officials are checking on CKR, still on the apron, who seems to have a bloody nose from the Starr dropkick. Aries don't give a fuck, as he pulls him fully into the ring, stomping on him, before mounting him and punching him in the face.

CKR ended up having a broken nose. It's pretty much all out war. At one point in the match, Ryan Starr locks in A Starr to Remember on CKR, which is a sharpshooter. CKR tries to reach for ropes, but he finds his arm tucked between Aries legs as Aries locks in Ace of Spades crossface. CKR in a sharpshooter/crossface combo on the verge of tapping until he's saved by Galleon. Later on, Starr ascended to the top rope. He was prevented from jumping by Galleon, who climbed up with him. Galleon and Starr both standing top rope, Galleon set him up for a superplex, but both men were shoved by Aries, causing Starr and Galleon to land awkwardly on the floor. Meanwhile, CKR was loading up for a brass knucks shot, and when he looks to deck Aries, he's stopped by Luke Mathews, who grabs his arms and rips the knucks off. CKR gives a shove to Mathews, who simply shoves back, and is caught with a Culmination from Aries. Aries covers for the three count. He's handed both the AXW and USofI titles, only raising the AXW one into the air. Luke never left the ring, and just looks on at Aries. Fade to black.
