Sunshine Scandalous Tony Carmine vs. Johnny Cannon

A yellow spotlight suddenly shines down across the black curtain of the entrance way, whilst the house lights begin to dim down. Slowly, almost in unison with the change in lightning does "Voodoo Child" (Jimi Hendrix" Cover) by Brick + Mortar begins to play. A small ebb of yellow smoke ascends from the ventilators to grace the ramp. The Brit's silhouette emerges behind the curtain, only backed by another daintier image.

"well i stand up next to a mountain
well i stand up next to a mountain
well i pick up all the pieces
maybe even make
maybe make a little sense"

Finally, bursting through the curtain emerges "The British Mamba", Johnny Cannon. The Englishman stands before the live audience in all his strapping glory; as per usual, his cocksure, megalomaniacal grin is etched on his face as he pauses on the ramp, his head raised high and snobbishly to the sky above as he surveys the masses. Standing just behind him is none other than Quinn Goodrich, who edges on the crowd to incite their scorn. Wearing yellow and black MMA style trunks, with matching boots and a black knee brace (on his left knee), the Brit appears ready for action - not due to his attire, but due to the belligerent look in his eyes which is only revealed as he removes his Aviator Sunglasses. His eyes are those of a cold, and calculating individual. Johnny places his shades in his black track jacket with numerous insignias sewn on it, and begins his haughty strut to the ring.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Quinn Goodrich! From London, England, weighing in at 245 pounds! He is “The British Mamba”... JOHNNY CANNON!

"well i stand up next to a mountain
and i chop it down with the edge of my hand
well i stand up next to a mountain
and i struck it down with the edge of my hand
cause I'm a voodoo child"

Cannon struts to the ring, marching with an undeniable swagger, whilst Quinn continues to taunt the audience, by swinging his arms up, and shouting whatever obscene remarks he can think of. Johnny ignores the audience on either side of him, showing complete indifference towards their opinions. He spurts forward toward the ring, and slides in under the bottom rope, before launching himself to his feet and suddenly spinning to the center of the ring in a very Shawn Michaels-esque fashion, before positioning himself carefully in the middle. He unzips his track jacket, lowering it down his hands and to the canvas below him like a male stripper, before throwing up the offensive, British, two finger salute, eliciting tremendous heat from the crowd.

"lord knows im a voodoo child
cause im a voodoo child"

From there, Johnny slowly backs into the ropes, hooking his arms back on them before bouncing several times, beginning his mental preparations and prerequisites as Quinn looks on from ringside; Cannon nods his head several times, as his eyes flicker with a hundred different ideas and strategies to carry out in the match.

Kris Cruise: Cannon’s looking awfully satisfied with himself tonight.

Stephy Auger: Well, tonight’s show is in Vegas and Cannon’s made it well known how much he loves this city. But tonight is a bit of a proving ground for him. The British Mamba comes in as a highly touted grappler. But how will he fare against a former Pride Champion in Tony Carmine?

As RetcH's "Graceful Jewelry Removal" hits, the lights dim and eventually the crowd will begin to jeer. Pink and purple strobe lights starts to flare. Once the bass drops, Scandalous Tony emerges from the curtains with his arms spread out, accompanied by 3 full-figured women following behind him(never the same group of women). He pops the collar on his furry vest before turning his back the ring and utters something to the women behind him. Suddenly he swings back around and slowly struts down the ramp, repeating the lyrics. He takes his purple pick out and starts picking his hair out.


"n****s pussy I should sprinkle them with glitter, for real my n****."

After putting the pick away, he then pulls out a nail filer and starts filing his nails, all the while taking his sweet time to get to the ring as he instructs the females to have the ropes held for him by the time he gets to ringside. With the ladies seated on the middle rope, Tony ignores them and walks up the steps and into the ring on his own. Tony laughs as he stands on the middle rope and looks out to the fans while slowly and seductively taking his furry vest off and throwing it to the group of females as they step off the apron. He backflips into the ring as his music slowly fades.

J.A. Aldridge: And his opponent, now residing out of Boca Raton, Florida! Weighing in at 179 pounds! He is SUNSHINE SCANDALOUS TONY CARMINE!

Kris Cruise: Tony Carmine appears to have his sights set on Mia Scott and the Pride Championship. But before he can get to her, he’s got to deal with Johnny Cannon.

Stephy Auger: Tony’s faced men that were bigger than him before. But he’s facing a man that has the ability to break him down, limb by limb. This isn’t going to be an easy feat for Sunshine Tony.

The bell sounds as Carmine and Cannon circle the ring before locking up. After jockeying for position, Carmine places Cannon in a side headlock. But Cannon is able to slip out from behind and reverse into a hammerlock. Tony then leans forward and reverses into a hammerlock of his own. But Cannon is quick to reach back with his free arm, grab Tony and reverse into a side headlock. After cinching in the hold, Cannon performs a standing switch and turns into another hammerlock. Carmine then leans forward and reverses into another hammerlock of his own. But Cannon reaches back with his free arm, grabs Cannon and throws him down with a snapmare. Before Carmine can get back up, Cannon connects with a stiff kick to the back.

Kris Cruise: Cannon gets the better of that exchange and caps things off with a stiff kick to the back.

Stephy Auger: Johnny Cannon’s got a lot to live up to after his comments from the past week, as well as from two weeks ago when he debuted on FGA programming. I don’t want to jump the gun. But right now, I can kind of see what all the hype’s about. The man just carries himself like a champion.

Kris Cruise: Well, Stephy, there are tons of grapplers here that act the part. But acting like a champion and being a champion are two totally different things. For all of Cannon’s accomplishments and for all of his history and accolades, his yet to win anything inside of an FGA ring. Past glory will only take him so far.

Cannon picks up Carmine and whips him into the rope ropes. When Carmine comes back, he slides through Cannon’s legs. When Cannon turns around, Carmine gets back to his feet and throws out a kick to the midsection. But Cannon catches his foot and spins Carmine around. When Carmine comes back, Cannon knocks him down with a hard European Uppercut. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Carmine kicks out.

Cannon picks up Carmine and places him in a top wrist lock. The ref asks Carmine if he wants to give up. But Carmine refuses to quit. So Cannon tries to yank Carmine’s from out of its socket, bringing him down to one knee. He continues to keep the top wrist lock applied as Carmine can be seen cringing in pain. The ref goes back to Tony and asks him if he wants to give up. But again, Carmine refuses to quit. He then rolls forward, leans back, kips up and reverses into an arm wrench. But Cannon quickly grabs him by the wrist and reverses into an arm wringer. He then pushes Carmine over onto his back and makes the cover.

ONE!.
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Carmine kicks out.

Kris Cruise: Once again, Cannon gets the better of that exchange. This time, he sends Carmine down hard shoulder-first into the canvas. That’s got to hurt.

Stephy Auger: He’s also trying to wear down Tony. The former Pride Champion is already at a disadvantage when it comes to sizes in this match. But if Cannon successfully works over the arm, it’ll make it harder for Tony to lift him up for It’s Always Sunny in Sicily.

Cannon picks Carmine back up, delivers an arm wrench and follows up with a clubbing shot across the arm. He delivers another arm wrench and follows up with a European Uppercut to the arm. Cannon then takes Carmine’s arm, raises it over his head and brings it down hard across his shoulder, delivering an armbreaker. He then transitions into another hammerlock from behind. But the hold is quickly broken after Carmine reaches back with his free arm and nails him with an elbow to the face. Tony then takes off into the ropes. When he comes back, Cannon hoists him in the air and connects with Cardiac Arrest on the way down. Cannon then follows up with a hammerlock legsweep DDT. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Carmine kicks out.

Kris Cruise: And Cannon again gets the advantage and follows up with a nearfall.

Stephy Auger: It seems like Cannon’s got a response for everything Tony’s thrown at him. Tony’s established himself here as a viable threat to anyone near the top of the card right. But right now, Cannon’s more or less having his way with him. That’s got to hurt Tony’s pride.

Cannon picks up Tony and moves him into the ropes. From there, Cannon proceeds to tie up Carmine’s arms in the top & middle ropes. Tony can be seen tries to break free, but it’s to no avail.

Stephy Auger: I won’t shed any tears over Tony Carmine. But this isn’t good for him. Not at all.

Kris Cruise: Cannon’s got him essentially at his mercy.

Cannon sizes up Tony before unleashing a series of hard European Uppercuts. While Tony is dazed, Cannon takes off into the opposite set of ropes. When he comes back, he nails Tony so hard with a running big boot to the fact that Tony is knocked out of the ropes and to the floor.

Kris Cruise: What a hard big boot that was.

Stephy Auger: Tony caught all of that one!

Cannon rolls to the outside, picks up Tony and rolls him back into the ring. After Cannon rolls himself back in, he makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Carmine gets his shoulder up.

After a scoop slam, Cannon heads into the corner and hoists himself up onto the middle ropes. He waits impatiently for Tony as he can be seen waving up his opponent. Once Tony gets up and turns around, Cannon goes for a diving European Uppercut. But Carmine connects with a spinning heel kick, knocking him down. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cannon kicks out.

Kris Cruise: Nice counter there by Tony Carmine.

Stephy Auger: This is Tony’s time to get back into this match. Thus far, it’s been all Cannon. He’s got to capitalize right now.

Carmine picks up Cannon and whips him into the ropes. When Cannon comes back, Carmine bends over to set up a back body drop. But Cannon counters with a kick to the face, sending Tony stumbling back. While Tony's dazed, Cannon takes off into the ropes. When he comes back, Carmine doubles him over with a spinning back kick to the gut. He then follows up with a snap suplex before rolling over and making the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cannon kicks out.

Carmine picks up Cannon and goes for an irish whip. But Cannon reverses, sending Carmine into the ropes. When Carmine comes back, Cannon goes for a back body drop. But Carmine slips down from behind. He quickly grabs Cannon from behind to set up a German Suplex. But Cannon delivers a quick elbow to the face. After performing a standing switch, he grabs Carmine around the waist for a running waist lock backward roll into a German Suplex. But Tony is somehow able to land on his feet, getting some “oooos” and “aaaaaahs” from the crowd. He then turns and runs into the ropes. When Cannon gets back to his feet, Carmine hops up onto his shoulders and flips back for a hurricanrana. But Cannon blocks the move. After lifting Carmine back up onto his shoulders, Cannon runs forward and goes for a powerbomb to the outside. But Carmine grabs the top rope as he flips back, delivering a hurricanrana over the top rope and into the floor. But instead of falling to the outside with Cannon, Carmine hangs onto the to ropes.

Kris Cruise: What a move that was right there by Tony Carmine!

Stephy Auger: That’s one way to block a powerbomb to the outside. He’s lucky he hit the hurricanrana on his second attempt.

Carmine “skins the cat,” pulling himself over the top rope and back into the ring. Cannon can be seen on the outside trying to shake out the cobwebs as Goodrich repeatedly slaps the canvas. Once he turns over and gets back to a vertical base, Carmine has already taken off into the ropes. When Carmine comes back, he knocks down Cannon with a rolling suicide dive.

Kris Cruise: Tony takes out Cannon with a Tope con Hilo!

Carmine picks up Cannon and slams him face-first into the top of the guard rail before knocking him down with a clothesline. After a series of stomps to the chest, Carmine picks up Cannon and rolls him back into the ring. Carmine then reaches back and hangs Cannon’s upper body across the apron. He then climbs back up onto the apron, runs and delivers a jumping leg drop across Cannon. After Cannon rolls himself back into the ring, Carmine gets up on the apron and makes his way towards one of the ring posts. He then scales the turnbuckles while he keeps his eyes on Cannon. Once Cannon gets back to his feet and turns around, Carmine leaps off and knocks him down with a missile dropkick. He turns Cannon over and makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
Cannon gets his shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: Tony connects with the dropkick off the top. But it only gets two. Recently, Carmine has had some strong words for Mia Scott.

Stephy Auger: Yes he has. Tony still feels that Dom Harter screwed him out of his rightful rematch. So while Harter’s out serving his suspension, Tony has decided to reinsert himself into the Pride Title picture. He claims that Mia cannot call herself a true Pride Champion until she beats “the only Pride Champion that’s mattered in the history of this company.” Hmm, I didn’t now Riley Owens was back.

Kris Cruise: Ha Ha. If only, right? Of course, Tony was referring to himself.

Stephy Auger: I know. Tony’s got an inflated ego and a high opinion of himself. But he’s underestimating the ability of Mia Scott.

Kris Cruise: Agreed.

Carmine picks up Cannon and positions him for a piledriver. But Cannon counters with a back body drop. Once Carmine turns over and gets back to his feet, Cannon throws out a reverse roundhouse kick. But Carmine ducks and counters with a reverse discus elbow, sending him stumbling back into the corner. While Cannon is rocked, Carmine runs into the corner and connects with a clothesline. He then climbs up onto the middle ropes and punches him nine times. He goes for the tenth punch, but he pulls back at the last second. Instead of delivering the punch, Carmine ops to swivel his hips. While Carmine’s in the middle of his taunt, Cannon grabs him, runs from out of the corner and delivers an inverted atomic drop. He then lifts up Carmine and delivers a shinbreaker. Cannon then grabs Tony’s legs before throwing him down with a dragon screw leg whip. After placing Carmine’s legs between his, Cannon wraps his arm around the leg, drops to the mat and pulls back, locking in the kneebar. The ref asks Carmine if he wants to give up. But he’s too busy groaning in pain.

Kris Cruise: Tony’ arrogance has cost him yet again as Cannon locks him in a kneebar!

Stephy Auger: How many times has Tony done that stupid taunt, only to have it backfire on him? You’d think he’d know better by now!

As Cannon can be seen repeatedly pulling back on the leg, the ref asks Carmine if he wants to give up. But Carmine refuses to quit after repeatedly shaking his head.

Kris Cruise: To his credit, Tony isn’t giving up. But how much longer can be hold on for?

Stephy Auger: Cannon’s got him right where he wants him. And Goodrich agrees!

Goodrich can be seen applauding on the outside as Cannon really cinches in the hold. Carmine then takes his free leg, lifts it up and repeatedly strikes Cannon with his heel until the hold is broken.

Kris Cruise: The hold is broken. That was some smart thinking there by Carmine.

Both men scramble to get back to a vertical base. But Cannon beats him to the punch. While Carmine’s still on his knees, Cannon delivers a series of shoot kicks to the chest. The thud from each kick reverberates throughout the crowd. After the last kick to the chest, Cannon steps back, sizes up Carmine and throws out a reverse roundhouse kick. But Carmine rolls underneath the kick. When Cannon turns around, Carmine gets back to his feet and brings him down with a tilt-a-whirl headscissors takeover. Cannon gets back up, but Carmine knocks him down with a low-angle dropkick. Cannon gets back up, but Carmine knocks him down with a back elbow. As Cannon gets back up, Carmine sizes him up before throwing out a dropkick. But Cannon side steps and swats Tony down.

Cannon picks up Carmine and whips him into the corner. He then runs across the ring and connects with a high knee strike. He then brings Carmine from out of the corner before planting him with the Cannon Driver II.

Kris Cruise: Carmine just got spiked right on his head.

Stephy Auger: That could be it… or not. Why isn’t Cannon going for the cover?

Cannon steps back and crouches down. He waits patiently to pounce on Carmine. As Carmine gets back to his feet, Cannon slowly rises with him. When Carmine turns around, Cannon throws out a Roundhouse Kick. But Carmine ducks. He quickly grabs Cannon from the side and delivers a pendulum backbreaker.

Kris Cruise: Tony ducked that just in the nick of time!

Stephy Auger: If he didn’t, Carmine’s head would probably be about ten rows back in the crowd.

After dragging Cannon into position, Tony heads into the corner and scales the turnbuckles. Once he reaches the top, Tony flips off and connects with a Phoenix Splash. He makes the cover.

ONE!
.
.
TWO!
.
.
TH-NO!

Cannon gets his shoulder up.

Kris Cruise: Cannon’s got his shoulder up. But that Phoenix Splash took a lot out of him.

Stephy Auger: It certainly did.

Tony picks up Cannon and nails him with rapid forearm strikes to the face. He then steps back and delivers a kick to the back of the leg, dropping him to one knee. Tony sees this, so he immediately runs into the ropes. When Tony comes back, he motions for #PimpShit. But Cannon quickly rolls to the outside.

Kris Cruise: Cannon wisely rolls out of the way… but what is this?

Stephy Auger: Is Cannon… is Cannon taking off?

On the outside, Cannon converses with Goodrich. The two look back at Tony, then back at each other and nod before making their wya around ringisde and up the ramp. The crowd boos as Tony stands in the ring with his hands on his hips, disgusted at what he’s seeing right now.

Kris Cruise: This may be one of those rare times when Tony Carmine is in a match and he’s not the one being booed!

Stephy Auger: This crowd is really letting Cannon have it and I can’t say I blame them. All of that talk about superiority and now, Cannon’s taking off!

Kris Cruise: He’s not even looking back, Stephy! The ref is already at Five!

Stephy Auger:



SIX!




SEVEN!




EIGHT!




NINE!




TEN!

The bell sounds as the crowd has now erupted into boos. Carmine gets his arm raised, but Tony quickly pulls it away from the ref. He walks over towards the ropes, climbs up onto the middle ropes and cups his hands around his mouth. Tony can be seen shouting several expletives at Cannon and Goodrich. But Goodrich just pats Cannon on the back while Cannon smirks before throwing up the “V” sign. The two then turn on their heels, step through the curtain and disappear into the back.

J.A. Aldridge: Here is your winner by Count Out, TONY CARMINE!

Kris Cruise: Tony gets the count out victory. But you can tell that doesn’t sit well with him.

Stephy Auger: It doesn’t. I don’t blame Cannon for rolling to the outside. He’d be an idiot to sit there and get willingly hit with the Shining Wizard that Tony’s used to put so many people away. But to take off and get intentionally counted out? Especially after all of his bragging and boasting? Unacceptable, Kev!

[FGA Office]

The camera cuts backstage, just outside of the gorilla position. The roar of the crowd in the Cox Pavilion goes up a notch as the frame is filled with the sight of Whiskey Ayano and Dexter Jacobs, otherwise known as Whiskey Dex...or TEAM ROADHOUSE at Whiskey’s insistence, and to Dex’s utter chagrin. Dex is pacing back and forth as the Fireball leans against the wall, trademark bottle in hand, taking a long pull from the bottle in typical fashion.

Dexter Jacobs: We ain’t s’posed t’ be here.

Dex gives a glance at Whiskey, who snorts and takes another drink.

Dexter Jacobs: No matter what folks are tryin’ to tell ya, no matter how they try ‘n spin it, no matter how many times they go out on commentary an’ tell ya’ll we were the favorites...This team here? Wasn’t s’posed t’ be here. We were s’posed t’ implode. Come apart at the seams. We ain’t s’posed t’ be standin’ here, right now, in Las Vegas, Nevada…

Cheap pop from the crowd. Dex almost lets a smirk slip.

Dexter Jacobs: ….with a shot at the Tag Team Champions on the line. But here we are. No matter how folks have tried t’ tell us what we’re gonna be, how we’re gonna collapse, how this jus’...ain’t gonna work...how we ain’t a TEAM...here we are. Everybody who doubted, everybody who thought we weren’t gonna be able t’ hold this thing t’gether, everybody who thought they was gonna be a better team than Whiskey Dex….they’re broken. Beaten. Done. Against the odds, against the damn grain, the only thing we left in our wake, is a trail of bodies on the way t’ this moment right here.

Dex rolls his neck, pausing a moment.

Dexter Jacobs: Vanagloria’d have ya believe this is they time. That them somehow miraculously bein’ back in this thing makes them some kinda...team of destiny or somethin’. That them leavin’ this buildin’ here tonight with a shot at the Sparklebuddies has been ordained by some, higher power. See, they got the look. The matchin’ gear, the merch, all that smoothness. They LOOK like a team. They look like THE team.

Dex sneers, and Whiskey rolls her eyes.

Dexter Jacobs: But looks can be deceivin’. ‘Cause when it comes down to it...only one team in this tournament has run through the competition like a Goddamn steamroller. Only one team in this tournament has lived up t’ every expectation, an’ destroyed anythin’ an’ anyone that stands in they way. Only one team in this tournament ain’t been beat, not jus’ in FGA, but ANYWHERE. Only one team in this whole damn tournament is THE team to beat, an’ it Goddamn sure ain’t Vanagloria.

Dex jerks a thumb toward Whiskey, then back toward himself.

Dexter Jacobs: It’s us. We’re the only ones who ain’t been beat. We’re the only ones who ain’t been stopped. WE ARE THE TEAM TO BEAT. An’ there ain’t anybody...Anybody in the damn world...who’s gonna stop us. Not tonight...Not any night.

Whiskey opens her mouth to say something when she realizes her bottle of rum is empty… there’s a long awkward pause as she reaches into her gym bag and pulls out another one, with a gleeful smile she un-caps it and resumes drinking. Dexter shakes his head at the display.

Dexter Jacobs: … you, uh… got th’ floor here Whiskey, wanna say somethin’?

She shakes her head as her mouth never leaves the new bottle, gesturing for him to go ahead. Dex rolls his eyes, attention focusing back to the camera.

Dexter Jacobs: ...As I was sayin’. We may not have the look. We may not be out there, sellin’ a hundred different t-shirts an’ foam fingers an’ whatever the Hell else. What we do, it ain’t ever gonna be pretty. It ain’t smooth, an’ it ain’t fun t’ watch. We’re ugly, we’re unorthodox, we’re brutal...But Goddamn if we don’t get the job done. Like I tol’ ya’ll….we may not look like the perfect team. We jus’ ARE the perfect team. Tell ‘em, Whi---

Dex gives Whiskey a look, and sees her still fully engaged in finishing yet another bottle. She raises her free hand and gives Dex a signal to tell him to keep going, followed by an exaggerated thumbs up, before going back to happily chugging her rum. Dex shakes his head, sighing gruffly.

Dexter Jacobs: Fuck it. Point is this. We ain’t s’posed t’ be here. WE ARE. We ain’t s’posed t’ win this whole thing. WE ARE. Don’t matter who they run up at us, Vanagloria ain’t stoppin’ us, just like Bond ‘n Bronco couldn’t stop us. Jus’ like Jackson an’ Sears couldn’t stop us. Jus’ like, when we walk int’ All Star Showdown, the Sparklebuddies ain’t gonna be able t’ stop us. We been carvin’ through everythin’ in our path since day one, an’ we ain’t stoppin’ til those Tag Team Championships come home with us. Tonight, it’s gonna be jus’ like every single night Whiskey Dex been in existence. Tonight, we do t’ Vanagloria what we do best.

Dex gives Whiskey one more look, the hope of any participation long gone, muttering something under his breath before looking at the camera one final time.

Dexter Jacobs: We kill ‘em all.

Seeing her last chance before the match starts, she bellows out-

Whiskey Ayano: ROADHOUSE MOTHERFUCKERS!

-and immediately takes off down the hall laughing, leaving Dex standing there bewildered and more than a little surly. Dex mutters and follows behind, as the camera cuts away.

[FGA Office]

MAIN EVENT
Dynamic Duos Fianls
Vanagloria vs. Whiskey Dex

“Pool of Booze, Booze, Booza” hits over the loudspeakers, the lights dimmed somewhat as the opening guitars kick in. When the verse begins, Dexter Jacobs steps out from the entryway, with Whiskey Ayano following just behind. The two share a glance before Whiskey produces a bottle of hard liquor and a lighter. She takes a swig and holds up the lighter, creating a large gout of flame as she spits it out into the air. Dex merely shakes his head, rolling his eyes at the display before cracking his neck and heading down to the ring, Whiskey taking a moment to pose before coming down as well.

J.A. Aldridge: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! It is your main event of the evening and it is the finals of the 2015 Dynamic Duos Tag Team Tournament! Introducing first, weighing in at a total combined weight of 421 pounds! They are the team of Dexter Jacobs and Whiskey Ayano… WHISKEY DEX!

Dex slides in and immediately heads to the corner, where he mounts the turnbuckles and raises a fist in the air as Whiskey follows suit, leaning on the ropes near him and taking another swig. She offers a pull to Dex as he hops down off the ropes, and depending on his mood, he’ll either accept and take a swig or brush her off before the two take a moment to prepare before the match begins.

Kris Cruise: There weren't many people that thought Whiskey Dex would be cohesive enough to make it past the first round. Yet here they are just one match away from an FGA World Tag Team Title shot!

Stephy Auger: I had my doubts. But somehow, they’ve come together and have knocked out the competition. They may be one match away. But this match is going to be the hardest. It’s going to be the most grueling. Vanagloria has stated that they will do anything to win this Final match. Knowing Kitty Sasso and Christian Kane, I definitely wouldn’t put anything past them.

The opening chords of Bang Camaro's “Night Lies” begin as Christian Kane and Kitty Sasso appear on the stage. Kitty is bouncing with excitement and all smiles though she ignores the fans entirely, Kane on the other hand interacts with them, slapping a few hands and doing the slick fade from a fist bump before the pair start down the ramp for the ring.

Load in, she's there
I am a big deal, baby
Tune up, prepare
I make a lot of money

J.A. Aldridge: And their opponents, weighing in at a total combined weight of 340 pounds! They are the team of Christian Kane and Kitty Sasso… VANAGLORIA!

Kitty slides under the bottom rope and rolls up to her feet, sitting on the middle strand to allow Kane to enter the ring. She twirls and removes her ring jacket, 'accidentally' dropping it and bending over slowly to pick it up while Kane urges the fans to applaud with a smirk on his handsome face.

We can be all you need
Lick it up, all we're saying
We can be anything you can dream

Kitty winks at the ring announcers and then tosses her jacket out while Kane strips out of his shirt, tossing it out to the fans and doing a pose to show off his form.

Kris Cruise: Vanagloria was defeated two weeks ago by The Herreras. But after a certain test came back positive, Hadley Herrera was no longer cleared to compete. With The Herreras now on the show, Vanagloria have been given a second chance here in this tournament. For their sake, they better not blow it.

Stephy Auger: Kitty Sasso and Christian Kane definitely won’t be looking this gift horse in the mouth. Whiskey Dex may hit harder. But Vanagloria’s going to try to outrun them and outsmart them tonight. But it’s easier said than done. This is going to be a huge test for Kitty and Christian.

The bell sounds as Kane and Jacobs start things out. They motion for a lock up. But Kane ducks underneath and applies a waist lock from behind. But before he can muscle up Jacobs for a German Suplex, he’s met with an elbow to the face, breaking the hold. After performing a standing switch, Jacobs goes for a German of his own. But Kane blocks the move. So Jacobs tightens his grip before attempting to hoist Kane up for another German. But again, Kane breaks the hold. So Jacobs lets go and delivers a clubbing shot to the back of the neck, doubling him over. He then takes Kane, runs and tosses him through the ropes. But instead of falling to the floor, Kane hangs onto the ropes and lands on the apron. Jacobs turns around and sees this. So he marches over to grab Kane. But Kane ducks and counters with a shoulder thrust through the ropes. While Jacobs is doubled over, Kane slingshots himself over for a sunset flip. The crowd cheers as Jacobs can be seen swinging his arms wildly, trying his hardest to regain his balance. Once he does, he reaches down, grabs Kane by the neck with both hands, yanks him back up to his feet and then tosses him into the corner.

Kris Cruise: We’re seeing the raw power of Dexter Jacobs on display here.

Stephy Auger: There are few that hit as hard, if not harder, than Dexter Jacobs. If I’m Kitty or Christian, I want to avoid any punch that man throws my way.

Jacobs charges into the corner, but he’s met with an elbow to the face. As Jacobs stumbles back, Kane runs from out of the corner and brings him down with a hurricanrana. Jacobs gets back up, but Kane runs over and connects with a dropkick, sending Jacobs stumbling to the canvas to cheers from the crowd. When Jacobs gets back up, Kane runs over and goes for a clothesline over the top rope. But Jacobs dips his shoulder and dumps Kane over the top rope…

… but Kane lands on his feet on the apron. When Jacobs turns around and sees this, he charges over towards Kane. But once again, Kane ducks and nails him with a shoulder thrust through the ropes. Whiskey Ayano then makes her way across the apron to attack. But Kane nails her with an elbow strike to the face, sending her stumbling back towards the ring post. When Kane turns back to Jacobs, Jacobs socks him with a punch to the face. He then grabs Kane and goes for a vertical suplex back into the ring. But on the way up, Kane knees Jacobs in the head. Once Jacobs drops him back down onto the apron, Kane grabs Jacobs and vertical suplexes him to the outside. The crowd cheers as Jacobs arches his back in pain.

Kris Cruise: Rarely do you ever see a suplex to the outside! It’s normally the other way around. But Kane pulled off the move and has got Jacobs hurting already!

Stephy Auger: Now what’s Kitty doing over there?

Kitty Sasso can be seen getting in the ring. She quickly darts into the opposite corner and connects with a front dropkick, knocking Ayano off the apron and to the floor.

Stephy Auger: Down goes Whiskey!

As Jacobs gets up on the outside, Kane runs towards the ring post, scales the turnbuckles and flips off, knocking him down with a moonsault to cheers from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: Kane just took out Jacobs!


As Ayano gets back to a vertical base, Sasso climbs up to the top turnbuckle, turns around and flips off, knocking her down with a moonsault to the outside to a smattering of cheers and boos from the crowd. Cheers because of the high risk move, boos because, well, it’s Kitty Sasso.

Stephy Auger: And Kitty gets in on the high flying, taking out Whiskey as well! Vanagloria is on a roll… and they’re not done yet!

Vanagloria pick up Whiskey Dex and slams them face-first into the guard rail. They then take Whiskey Dex and slam them face-first onto the apron, then the steel steps. Vanagloria pulls Whiskey Dex back and slams their faces into each other. Kane then takes Jacobs and rolls him back into the ring. After rolling himself back in, he makes the cover.

ONE!

After Sasso runs around the ring and hops back up onto the apron, Kane takes Jacobs and whips him into the corner. He then runs across the ring, leaps up and connects with a corner forearm smash. Kane reaches over and tags in Sasso to boos from the crowd.

Kris Cruise: This crowd is showing their displeasure with Katherine Reynolds-Sasso. But if I were her, I would be less concerned about the fans and more concerned with continuing this attack on Whiskey Dex.

Stephy Auger: Vanagloria definitely came out strong. I figured it’d be the other way around. But you can tell how much Kitty and Christian want this. They don’t want to blow their second chance in this tournament.

Once Sasso gets in, she delivers a series of knee strikes to the midsection. She then takes Jacobs, places him in a side headlock and rakes his eyes along the top rope, sending him stumbling into a nearby corner.

But her ankle buckles, causing her to crumble to the canvas.

Kris Cruise: Is Kitty Sasso hurt?

Stephy Auger: She might be. It doesn’t look good…

Sasso can be seen on the canvas writhing in pain. She clutches her ankle as a tear rolls down her face. Jacobs can be seen with his hands on his hips. He isn’t for a second buying what Sasso’s selling.

Kris Cruise: It looks like Jacobs thinks Sasso’s faking it. But I don’t know.

Stephy Auger: She does look hurt, Kris.

Sasso can be seen frantically scooting herself into a nearby corner. She then pulls herself up using the ropes.

Stephy Auger: Sasso’s trying to put some weight on that ankle… but she can’t! I think she’s legitimately hurt, Kris.

Kris Cruise: What an anticlimactic way for this match to end, if it’s true.

Sasso continues to whimper as the ref tries his best to console her. Jacobs, meanwhile, has had enough. So he goes over and pulls the ref out of the way. When he turns back to Sasso, Sasso goes for a kick to the balls. But Jacobs reaches down and grabs her foot just in time.

Kris Cruise: That sneaky little devil?

Stephy Auger: Sasso just suckered us all in. Except for Dex. he knew she was up to no good all along.

Sasso’s eyes widen with shock as Jacobs slowly looks up at her. He snarls as he pulls his arm back, looking to send her head flying off her shoulders with a lariat. But Sasso is able to counter with an enzuigiri.

Stephy Auger: She better thank her lucky stars she pulled off that enzuigiri. Dex was looking to send her head flying a few rows back into the crowd.

Kane, however, isn’t intimidated. He immediately gets in Jacobs’ face as the crowd cheers him on. The two men jawjack before Kane slaps the taste out of Jacobs’ mouth, resulting in “OOOOOOOs” from the crowd. When Jacobs turns back to Kane, Kane slaps him again.
