THEME: "The Enemy" by Papa Roach
COMMENTATORS: Preston Marshall and Jaymie Boone
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MATCH ONE
{Absolute Zero by Stone Sour starts to blare of there the PA as Markus E. Reeves makes his way onto the stage. Boos rain down from the crowd as Markus starts to walk down the ramp.}
Amber Ashe: "Coming down the aisle.... From Glendale, Arizona.... Standing seven feet tall and weighing three hundred and fifteen pounds..... MARKUS E. REEVES!"
{He gets down to the ring and jumps up onto the apron of the ring and swings one leg over the top rope before swing the second leg over. He awaits the start of the match.}
Preston Marshall: "Markus Reeves is making his long-awaited return to NCW, and I for one could not be more excited."
Jaymie Boone: "I could be. What is this... return number forty-seven? This guy comes and goes more than
{The King of Pain by Loudness plays on the PA system as Sarissa Camarillo comes through the curtain followed by Ishimaru Junichiro. Ishimaru Junichiro stops at the top of the ramp and lets out a war cry then raises both arms in the air as gold and silver pyros shoot off behind Ishimaru Junichiro. Sarissa Camarillo heads down to the ring with Ishimaru Junichiro comming down to the ring behind her.}
Amber Ashe: "And the opponent.... From Fukuoka, Japan.... Weighing in at two hundred and sixty-five pounds.... 'The Beast' ISHIMARU JUNICHIRO!"
{Sarissa Camarillo climbs up the stairs and then holds the ropes open as Ishimaru Junichiro then climbs up the stairs then enters the ring. Sarissa Camarillo removes Ishimaru Junichiro's leather jacket for him then gives him a kiss on the cheek. Ishimaru Junichiro stands ready for his match while Sarissa Camarillo exits the ring and stands in the corner.}
Preston Marshall: "This guy is making quite a name for himself so far in his young NCW career. What happens tonight when he takes a step up in competition?"
Jaymie Boone: "Junichiro came here tonight to do two things: beat Markus Reeves and eat chinese food... and he's all out of moo shu pork."
Preston Marshall: "He's Japanese, Jaymie... not Chinese."
Jaymie Boone: "Japanese people can eat Chinese food too. Racist."
{The bell rings and both men move toward the center of the ring. The wrestlers size each other up and Junichiro starts it off with a big chop to the chest. Reeves shakes it off and laughs, causing Junichiro to fire off another chop. Reeves responds by grabbing his opponent by the head and delivering a knee shot to the chest. The Japanese wrestler holds his chest as Markus grabs him and hits an elbow shot to the back of his neck, causing Junichiro to back up. Reeves then grabs him by the arm and sends him flying into the ropes, but Junichiro holds on to the top rope to stop his momentum. Reeves charges, but Junichiro dodges out of the way and hits Reeves with a stiff forearm shot to the face as he turns around. Ishimaru backs up, and as Reeves stumbles forward, he's hit by a Savate Kick. Reeves stumbles back into the ropes, and Junichiro runs at him, sending the big man over the top and to the floor with a Clothesline. Reeves lands on his feet on the floor, and tries to shake the cobwebs loose.}
Jaymie Boone: "Reeves is getting all he can handle from the new guy."
Preston Marshall: "He might be the real deal."
{Ishimaru Junichiro gives chase to the outside and tries to attack, but Reeves reacts and throws him into the ringpost. Junichiro's shoulder bounces off the post with a thud, and Markus quickly rolls him back into the ring. The big man climbs to the apron and steps one leg over the top rope, but as he does, Ishimaru stands and hits a Low Dropkick to his shin that causes him to stumble to the mat. Junichiro stomps away at Reeves' head and pulls him toward the center of the ring before hitting another big stomp. The Japanese star hits the ropes and hits a Running Twisting Elbow Drop to the chest of Markus. He climbs on top for the pin. 1... 2. Reeves powers out. Junichiro guides Reeves to his feet, but before he can attack, Reeves surprises him with a big Headbutt that staggers the opponent. He grabs Ishimaru's arm and pulls him into position, delivering an Impaler DDT that sends Ishimaru's head bouncing off the canvas.}
Preston Marshall: "BIG DDT there. That's going to hurt in the morning."
Jaymie Boone: "Not as much as waking up next to you hurts your wife's soul."
Preston Marshall: ".... You talked to her? What did she tell you?"
{Markus grabs Junichiro's leg and delivers a knee drop across his leg and then goes for the Sharpshooter. Junichiro scrambles towards the ropes and grabs the bottom one, stopping Reeves' submission attempt. However when Ishimaru gets to his feet, Reeves boots him in the gut and pulls him into Dominator position. As Reeves lifts his opponent onto his shoulder, Junichiro slides off the back and hits the ropes. As he looks for a Running Lariat as he rebounds, but Reeves ducks down and delivers a Big Back Body Drop that sends him flying. Reeves takes a step back and waits while Junichiro gets to his feet before charging with a Lariat of his own... and nearly taking Junichiro's head off with the Glendale Lariat! Reeves hooks the leg and goes for the pin. 1.... 2..... Ishimaru kicks out.}
Preston Marshall: "Ohhhhhhh. I thought he had him there."
Jaymie Boone: "And I think Junichiro's head is in the third row."
Preston Marshall: "That Lariat is deadly. Second only to Will Washington's dreaded Coup d'Etat."
Jaymie Boone: "Well that goes without saying."
{Reeves looks shocked that his signature Lariat didn't get the job done. He questions the referee's count, allowing Junichiro to get to his feet behind Markus. Junichiro grabs Reeves and hoists him up, dropping him back down hard to the mat with the Saito Suplex. Junichiro then stands, taunting and stalking as the former Mark Evil struggles to a vertical base. The Japanese star grabs his opponent and hooks his arm, locking in the Cobra Clutch. The big man tries to fight his way out, but Junichiro has it locked in tightly. Reeves drops to a knee and and begins to look out of it. Suddenly, Ishimaru releases the hold and runs, hitting the ropes and coming off, nailing a Shining Wizard to head of Reeves. The big man falls to the mat and Junichiro goes for the cover. 1.... 2.... Kick out! Junichiro gets to his feet and hits another Swinging Twisting Elbow, going for another pin. 1.... 2.... Reeves kicks out again.}
Preston Marshall: "Markus is showing some real endurance there by kicking out of two straight pinfall attempts."
Jaymie Boone: "What do you expect? The guy's a zombie."
{Ishimaru gets to his feet and stands over Reeves as the crowd begins to cheer the newbie on. Reeves gets to his feet and turns right into the waiting arms of Junichiro, who pulls him in to DDT position. NCW's newest wrestler tries to lift the larger man up for his Banzai maneuver, but Reeves is able to stand his ground and block the attempt, pulling Junichiro up onto his shoulders and delivering a surprise Samoan Drop. Reeves gets to his feet and signals that the end is near, pulling Junichiro to his feet. Reeves goes for a boot to the gut, but Junichiro grabs his boot and holds the big man's leg. He spins Reeves around 360 degrees, and catches him with a boot to the gut of his own as Reeves faces him, before quickly picking him up... and planting Reeves with the Kamikaze! Junichiro goes for the pinfall. 1.... 2.... 3!}
Amber Ashe: "Here is your winnner by pinfall..... ISHIMARU JUNICHIRO!"
{Junichiro gets to his feet and has his hand raised by the referee, before angrily pulling it away.}
Preston Marshall: "The rookie wins again! He's on quite the roll."
Jaymie Boone: "Eh. Let's get him some real competition... like Steve Awesome and see how he does."
{Junichiro drops down and rolls out of the ring, backing up the ramp and staring at the fallen Markus E. Reeves as he does so.}
Jaymie Boone: "Well. Reeves won our first match, but up next we've got a triple threat for you."
Preston Marshall: "Three young and hungry stars face off. You don't want to miss it!"
MATCH TWO
{As the drums and didgeridoo kick in, Cyrus Daniels and Stephen Kingsley walk to the ring as two men side by side with a purpose. Stephen has on his corked hat and his vest. Stephen uses the steps and before he steps into the ring, Stephen takes off his corked hat as an acknowledgement to the crowd and places it on the ring post.}
Amber Ashe: The following Triple Threat contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, being accompanied by Cyrus Daniels, from Queensland, Australia, weighing 315 pounds, Stephen Kingsley!
Preston Marshall: The Church of Thor’s had a pretty rough few weeks, but Stephen Kingsley’s got the potential to turn it around in this Triple Threat matchup. What do you think about Stephen’s chances, Jaymie?
Jaymie Boone: I think that he’s just lucky that Carly Robins pays attention to…oh, wait. Wrong chances.
Preston: No surprise there…
{He steps into the ring and he takes off his vest and he hands it to an employee. Cyrus Daniels is in the ring with Stephen. He gives Stephen some last instructions before he steps out of the ring and onto the floor as the lights go out. Then fire bursts from the stage. The lights return as "Through the Fire and Flames" by DragonForce hits the speakers. El Dragon de Valor emerges from the entryway and raises his arms in the air.}
Amber Ashe: Next, from Mexico City, Mexico, weighing 185 pounds, El Dragon de Valor!
Preston Marshall: It’s a quest of personal redemption for El Dragon de Valor. He’s been trying to make amends for what he sees as a personal failing, and the fans seem to be willing to give him that second chance.
Jaymie Boone: I thought he was more interesting with that Bushido guy. Where’s he?
Preston Marshall: …oy.
{He then runs down to the ring and slides in, then rolls forward to his feet. He runs up the nearest turnbuckle and raises his arms in the air, waiving his hands up and down to get the crowd hyped up. He then backflips off the turnbuckle as flames shoot out from the ring posts and fireworks rain down from the ceiling. As the music fades out, the drumbeat of "Rise Above" sounds over the PA, and the sound of harsh guitars ushers in Caleb Lockwood. He smirks, bouncing on the soles of his feet and shouting at the crowd to get them fired up.}
Amber Ashe: And from Oakland, California, weighing in at 185 pounds, Caleb Lockwood!
Preston Marshall: The high-flying Caleb Lockwood has been on quite the string of upsets, beating both Steve Awesome and Jack Hammond in recent months, and he said this week that he wants to be one of the men in the Coliseum. It looks like he’s letting his success embolden him.
Jaymie Boone: He’s the most interesting person here, and that’s because he’s stupid enough to do all that flippy stuff. Come on, skater boy! Start flying!
Preston Marshall: Jaymie, are you drunk?
Jaymie Boone: NO! …maybe!
{He fixes his gaze on the ring and grins, charging down. Lockwood leaps into the ring, kipping up and playing to the crowd. His music dies down as he moves into his corner, awaiting the bell.}
Preston Marshall: All three men seem to be ready to go, and here’s the opening bell to start off this contest.
{The bell rings, and all three men uneasily look at each other. Caleb and Dragon lock eyes and nod, both turning to charge Kingsley. The large Australian is caught off guard with a double running dropkick which sends him to the mat. Both men roll to their feet and immediately begin trading stiff strikes. Caleb fires off a forearm strike, Dragon responds with a kick to the knee. Lockwood staggers, delivering a knife-edge chop on the return, and Dragon replies with a spinning mule kick to the gut. He delivers an uppercut to the doubled-over Lockwood, straightening him back out, and grabs him by the arm, Irish whipping him to the ropes. Lockwood bounces back, and Dragon catches him in a tilt-a-whirl, looking for a backbreaker. Lockwood kicks his legs while on Dragon’s shoulder, however, and wraps him up in an inverted facelock, delivering a modified inverted tornado DDT!}
Preston Marshall: That was a quick reversal from Lockwood, and what a fast-paced opening we’ve got here!
Jaymie Boone: I told you! Flippy!
{Lockwood rolls to his feet, as does Dragon, but the masked man is a bit slower to stand, and Caleb charges, looking for a Shining Wizard! Dragon drops down, sending Caleb over where he was standing. Lockwood rolls to his feet, jumping and springboarding off the ropes with a corkscrew Lionsault…only to be caught midair with a vicious running big boot from Stephen Kingsley! Dragon charges Kingsley, but the Australian ex-con is ready for him, delivering a thunderous clothesline that sends the Mexican star head over heels. The crowd boos as Kingsley observes his work with a smirk on his face.}
Preston Marshall: That high-flying opening we had got cut off by the sudden and violent reintroduction of Stephen Kingsley to the equation. It just goes to show that you that you can’t take your eye off an opponent in this kind of match.
Jaymie Boone: It’s the criminal mentality. They have a hard time reintegrating into society, and here we see another example of that.
{Stephen looks to El Dragon de Valor, but the masked man rolls out of the ring, taking a breather. The Aussie shakes his head and turns to his other opponent. Stephen pulls Lockwood up, lifting the parkour expert high above his head before sending him crashing to the mat with a military press slam. He immediately dives on his much smaller opponent and begins choking the life out of him! The referee immediately dives in and begins issuing his five count. As he’s trying to separate the two, Cyrus Daniels roughly spins Dragon around on the outside, hooking him in a side slam clutch before lifting and dropping him onto his knee with the GIFT OF TIME backbreaker! The crowd boos as Daniels rolls the limp form of El Dragon de Valor back in, holding his hands up in mock innocence. Kingsley releases the hold as he sees this, also playing innocent.}
Preston Marshall: Aw, come on! Cyrus Daniels just HAD to get involved here, didn’t he?
Jaymie Boone: Of course he did. Thor commanded him to smite the masked nonbeliever, so he did. Makes sense to me.
{Kingsley turns his attention to Dragon now, as Caleb clutches his throat and tries to drive air back into his lungs. Stephen hauls Dragon up, scooping him up with one arm and delivering a powerful body slam. He looks back, hits the ropes, and delivers a powerful elbow drop to serve as an exclamation point. Kingsley goes for the first cover of the match! 1! 2! And El Dragon barely kicks out, to an unusual sound: the cheers of the crowd!}
Preston Marshall: El Dragon de Valor kicking out of that elbow drop there, and the crowd is trying to give him the will to succeed here, can they do it? Trauma rolls on, next!
{COMMERCIAL BREAK}
{As we return from break, Lockwood has Dragon in a grounded Fujiwara armbar, Kingsley laying on the floor clutching his ribcage. The referee is asking Dragon if he wants to give up, and the former Tag Team Champion is stubbornly refusing to quit.}
Preston Marshall: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Trauma, where we’re in the middle of Triple Threat action. Stephen Kingsley, El Dragon de Valor, and Caleb Lockwood all vying for a win here tonight, and let’s show you what happened during the break.
{The split-screen replay shows Dragon low bridging Kingsley as he looked for another clothesline, and following up with a suicide dive as Kingsley rose. Dragon got to his feet, only to be caught by with a huge no hands corkscrew plancha by Caleb, who immediately rose and slung him back into the ring. Live, Dragon begins struggling to his feet, firing right hands into the gut of Lockwood to loosen his grip. After four or five shots, he does loosen his grip, and Dragon grabs him with his free arm, looking to Irish whip him again. Lockwood reverses, but Dragon handsprings off the ropes, coming back with a back elbow that cleans the clock of the Californian! Dragon hastily covers! 1! 2! And a kickout by Lockwood!}
Preston Marshall: Excellent reversal off of that handspring reverse elbow, with El Dragon de Valor giving Lockwood a bit of a taste of his own medicine.
Jaymie Boone: It’s a shame El Dragon doesn’t drink anymore, or I’d ask him to grab one with me after the show. Masked guys usually have all sorts of…interesting stories.
Preston Marshall: Can you focus on the match for one second? Just one? That’s all I’m asking.
Jaymie Boone: You got it! …you lost it!
{Lockwood gets back to his feet, in a daze, and he swings wildly at Dragon. Dragon ducks the hold and wraps Caleb up with a rear waistlock, bringing him over with a German suplex! Dragon rolls through for a rolling cradle! 1! 2! And another kickout by Lockwood! Dragon begins clapping, beckoning Caleb to his feet. He begins pulling himself to his feet, and the moment he’s standing enough to stagger out of the corner, his opponent comes screaming in looking for a Dragon Kick! Caleb suddenly springs to life, however, rolling under the move. As he runs to the opposite ropes, however, Stephen Kingsley pulls himself up onto the apron. Changing targets, Caleb springboards and delivers a thunderous roundhouse kick to the side of Kingsley’s head! He holds on, teetering dangerously backwards. Dragon tries to add his own attack to the sequence, but as he tries to charge Cyrus Daniels reaches in and grabs his ankle, preventing him from moving!}
Preston Marshall: He should be ejected for that! That’s the second time he’s interfered in this match!
Jaymie Boone: Referee. Doesn’t see it. Not illegal. As always.
{Kingsley manages to regain his balance, stepping over the ropes, and Caleb looks over to see Cyrus interfering. Without thinking, he charges and leaps to the top rope, springboarding off and catching Daniels on the outside with a springboard 450 splash! El Dragon finally pulls free as the move connects, turning around…only to eat a knee to the gut from Stephen Kingsley! Kingsley signals for the Guilty as Charged and leaps, nailing it to perfection! He rolls into the cover as Lockwood lays on the outside, winded!
1!
2!
3! Lockwood looks up in shock as the bell rings.}
Amber Ashe: Here is your winner, Stephen Kingsley!
Preston Marshall: Caleb went a little honor before reason there, and it may have cost him this match. Stephen Kingsley planted El Dragon de Valor with that flip piledriver he calls the Guilty as Charged, and that was all she wrote!
Jaymie Boone: I want to know how a man his size can pull off a move like that. It’s just breathtaking to behold.
Preston Marshall: I guess he practices a lot, and it’s clearly paid off. Hats off to Stephen Kingsley for picking up the win, but we have to give the assist to his partner Cyrus Daniels.
Jaymie Boone: Sure! Give him the assist! It’s still a win for Kingsley in the record books.
{Kingsley retrieves his hat, stepping out of the ring and chasing Lockwood off as Cyrus gets to his feet with murder in his eyes. Lockwood, thinking quickly, hops the barricade and bails through the crowd as the team once known as Criminal Intent is showered with boos from the crowd.}

Amber Ashe: Next, from Mexico City, Mexico, weighing 185 pounds, El Dragon de Valor!
Preston Marshall: It’s a quest of personal redemption for El Dragon de Valor. He’s been trying to make amends for what he sees as a personal failing, and the fans seem to be willing to give him that second chance.

Amber Ashe: And from Oakland, California, weighing in at 185 pounds, Caleb Lockwood!
Preston Marshall: The high-flying Caleb Lockwood has been on quite the string of upsets, beating both Steve Awesome and Jack Hammond in recent months, and he said this week that he wants to be one of the men in the Coliseum. It looks like he’s letting his success embolden him.
Jaymie Boone: He’s the most interesting person here, and that’s because he’s stupid enough to do all that flippy stuff. Come on, skater boy! Start flying!
Preston Marshall: Jaymie, are you drunk?
Jaymie Boone: NO! …maybe!
{He fixes his gaze on the ring and grins, charging down. Lockwood leaps into the ring, kipping up and playing to the crowd. His music dies down as he moves into his corner, awaiting the bell.}
Preston Marshall: All three men seem to be ready to go, and here’s the opening bell to start off this contest.
{The bell rings, and all three men uneasily look at each other. Caleb and Dragon lock eyes and nod, both turning to charge Kingsley.

Jaymie Boone: I told you! Flippy!
{Lockwood rolls to his feet, as does Dragon, but the masked man is a bit slower to stand, and Caleb charges, looking for a Shining Wizard! Dragon drops down, sending Caleb over where he was standing. Lockwood rolls to his feet, jumping and springboarding off the ropes with a corkscrew Lionsault…only to be caught midair with a vicious running big boot from Stephen Kingsley! Dragon charges Kingsley, but the Australian ex-con is ready for him, delivering a thunderous clothesline that sends the Mexican star head over heels. The crowd boos as Kingsley observes his work with a smirk on his face.}
Preston Marshall: That high-flying opening we had got cut off by the sudden and violent reintroduction of Stephen Kingsley to the equation. It just goes to show that you that you can’t take your eye off an opponent in this kind of match.
Jaymie Boone: It’s the criminal mentality. They have a hard time reintegrating into society, and here we see another example of that.
{Stephen looks to El Dragon de Valor, but the masked man rolls out of the ring, taking a breather. The Aussie shakes his head and turns to his other opponent. Stephen pulls Lockwood up, lifting the parkour expert high above his head before sending him crashing to the mat with a military press slam. He immediately dives on his much smaller opponent and begins choking the life out of him! The referee immediately dives in and begins issuing his five count. As he’s trying to separate the two, Cyrus Daniels roughly spins Dragon around on the outside, hooking him in a side slam clutch before lifting and dropping him onto his knee with the GIFT OF TIME backbreaker! The crowd boos as Daniels rolls the limp form of El Dragon de Valor back in, holding his hands up in mock innocence. Kingsley releases the hold as he sees this, also playing innocent.}
Preston Marshall: Aw, come on! Cyrus Daniels just HAD to get involved here, didn’t he?
Jaymie Boone: Of course he did. Thor commanded him to smite the masked nonbeliever, so he did. Makes sense to me.
{Kingsley turns his attention to Dragon now, as Caleb clutches his throat and tries to drive air back into his lungs. Stephen hauls Dragon up, scooping him up with one arm and delivering a powerful body slam. He looks back, hits the ropes, and delivers a powerful elbow drop to serve as an exclamation point. Kingsley goes for the first cover of the match! 1! 2! And El Dragon barely kicks out, to an unusual sound: the cheers of the crowd!}
Preston Marshall: El Dragon de Valor kicking out of that elbow drop there, and the crowd is trying to give him the will to succeed here, can they do it? Trauma rolls on, next!
{COMMERCIAL BREAK}
{As we return from break, Lockwood has Dragon in a grounded Fujiwara armbar, Kingsley laying on the floor clutching his ribcage. The referee is asking Dragon if he wants to give up, and the former Tag Team Champion is stubbornly refusing to quit.}
Preston Marshall: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to Trauma, where we’re in the middle of Triple Threat action. Stephen Kingsley, El Dragon de Valor, and Caleb Lockwood all vying for a win here tonight, and let’s show you what happened during the break.
{The split-screen replay shows Dragon low bridging Kingsley as he looked for another clothesline, and following up with a suicide dive as Kingsley rose. Dragon got to his feet, only to be caught by with a huge no hands corkscrew plancha by Caleb, who immediately rose and slung him back into the ring. Live, Dragon begins struggling to his feet, firing right hands into the gut of Lockwood to loosen his grip. After four or five shots, he does loosen his grip, and Dragon grabs him with his free arm, looking to Irish whip him again. Lockwood reverses, but Dragon handsprings off the ropes, coming back with a back elbow that cleans the clock of the Californian! Dragon hastily covers! 1! 2! And a kickout by Lockwood!}
Preston Marshall: Excellent reversal off of that handspring reverse elbow, with El Dragon de Valor giving Lockwood a bit of a taste of his own medicine.
Jaymie Boone: It’s a shame El Dragon doesn’t drink anymore, or I’d ask him to grab one with me after the show. Masked guys usually have all sorts of…interesting stories.
Preston Marshall: Can you focus on the match for one second? Just one? That’s all I’m asking.
Jaymie Boone: You got it! …you lost it!
{Lockwood gets back to his feet, in a daze, and he swings wildly at Dragon. Dragon ducks the hold and wraps Caleb up with a rear waistlock, bringing him over with a German suplex! Dragon rolls through for a rolling cradle! 1! 2! And another kickout by Lockwood! Dragon begins clapping, beckoning Caleb to his feet. He begins pulling himself to his feet, and the moment he’s standing enough to stagger out of the corner, his opponent comes screaming in looking for a Dragon Kick! Caleb suddenly springs to life, however, rolling under the move. As he runs to the opposite ropes, however, Stephen Kingsley pulls himself up onto the apron. Changing targets, Caleb springboards and delivers a thunderous roundhouse kick to the side of Kingsley’s head! He holds on, teetering dangerously backwards. Dragon tries to add his own attack to the sequence, but as he tries to charge Cyrus Daniels reaches in and grabs his ankle, preventing him from moving!}
Preston Marshall: He should be ejected for that! That’s the second time he’s interfered in this match!
Jaymie Boone: Referee. Doesn’t see it. Not illegal. As always.
{Kingsley manages to regain his balance, stepping over the ropes, and Caleb looks over to see Cyrus interfering. Without thinking, he charges and leaps to the top rope, springboarding off and catching Daniels on the outside with a springboard 450 splash! El Dragon finally pulls free as the move connects, turning around…only to eat a knee to the gut from Stephen Kingsley! Kingsley signals for the Guilty as Charged and leaps, nailing it to perfection! He rolls into the cover as Lockwood lays on the outside, winded!
1!
2!
3! Lockwood looks up in shock as the bell rings.}
Amber Ashe: Here is your winner, Stephen Kingsley!
Preston Marshall: Caleb went a little honor before reason there, and it may have cost him this match. Stephen Kingsley planted El Dragon de Valor with that flip piledriver he calls the Guilty as Charged, and that was all she wrote!
Jaymie Boone: I want to know how a man his size can pull off a move like that. It’s just breathtaking to behold.
Preston Marshall: I guess he practices a lot, and it’s clearly paid off. Hats off to Stephen Kingsley for picking up the win, but we have to give the assist to his partner Cyrus Daniels.
Jaymie Boone: Sure! Give him the assist! It’s still a win for Kingsley in the record books.
{Kingsley retrieves his hat, stepping out of the ring and chasing Lockwood off as Cyrus gets to his feet with murder in his eyes. Lockwood, thinking quickly, hops the barricade and bails through the crowd as the team once known as Criminal Intent is showered with boos from the crowd.}
