Turmoil #3

Ace: Coming up next the final match of the semi finals and our last match for the night.

Jax: I’m curious what Stefan has up his sleeve. Alex Turner and Psychotic Goth went through hoops to earn a finals shot. What does Syberus have in store for him?

Ace: One can only imagine, but the fans are bound to be in store for a treat. Syberus has run rough shot through everyone, but now he faces newly acquired Adrian Tanner Jr.

Jax: How much does Adrian have in him though? Daniel Collins took him to the limit and Syberus barely had time to clock in.

Max Blake: Ladies and gentlemen this is your second semi final match and the main event of the evening. Coming to the ring first.

We hear Gold by Kiiara throughout the arena. Clips of Syberus preparing for his match are shown with the lacing of the boots, taping of the wrists and stretching out. The fans are all on their feet as Syberus makes his way through the curtains. A huge standing ovation and eruption in the building occur.

Both hands are raised in the air as Syberus points his index fingers up towards the sky.

Ace: This has all the makings for one hell of a main event. Syberus has almost had his way in ACW since it’s started. But Adrian Tanner Jr. Is one he’s not met, at least not here.

Jax: Both of these men are crowd favorites and if this is anything like Collins and Tanner then we’re in for a treat.

Ace: There’s a lot of history between these two men and the one question that you can’t overlook is simply this. Can they put their friendship aside for this match?

Jax: I don’t care if it’s my brother facing off against me. If there’s a title around the corner or a pay day you can always be my brother later. But for the moment you’re an obstacle.

Syberus slowly makes his way down the aisle towards the ring. As Syberus walks up the ring steps, he wipes his feet upon the apron before entering the ring. Testing the ropes, he nips up onto the turnbuckle before pointing his index fingers again towards the sky.

Max Blake: Weighing in at 210 pounds from Manchester, England this is THE GREAT SYBERUSSSSSS. And his opponent.

The lights go out as we see footage of Metal Gear III playing on the big screen.

Revolver Ocelot: Hold it right there, traitor... Let's find out just how lucky
you are...

Ocelot reveals a bullet for his revolver... He loads the bullet

Ocelot: Watch closely... [takes out three revolvers]

Ocelot: One of these three guns has a single bullet in it... I'm going to pull
the trigger six times in a row... Are you ready?

Ocelot juggles the three guns... Each time he pulls a trigger, Sokolov
winces... The fifth time a trigger is pulled, Sokolov pisses his pants

Ocelot: Looks like your luck hasn't run out yet...

The sixth time, the gun fires and the screen shatters into a million pieces and everything cuts to black again.
Voice over: "BE UNDENIABLE!"

Undeniable by HELLYEAH begins to play and we see Adrian Tanner Jr. Standing in the middle of the rampway. Red and white spotlights illuminate the stage as the music continues to play. Adrian raises both hands over his head before stretching them out in front of him pointing towards the ring in gun formation.

Max Blake: Introducing to the ring from Tucson, Arizona, weighing in at two hundred twenty-seven pounds and standing six feet, one inch tall! He is The Arizona Assassin'... ADRIAN TANNER JJUUNNIIOORR!!!

Adrian suddenly fires his hands towards the ring as fireworks go off in the arena. The crowd once again is up on their feet cheering loudly. A red spotlight circles around the crowd throughout the arena, as white spotlights pulsate in tune with the music. The combination of spotlights create a dizzying effect around the arena.

Ace: The fans already taking to this superstar and new addition to the roster. It’s a shame that the brackets had to be set the way they were.

Jax: This could have easily been the finals of the tournament. For one of these men a spot in the finals, for the other without question a solid grip as a top contender.

Ace: If you would have asked me before the tournament I would have said Syberus was a given to win it all. But now with the addition of Adrian the game changes.

Jax: Who is willing to bend and break the rules to reach the finals? I don’t care how good of friends you are, something has to give.

Adrian walks down the aisle, slapping hands with a few fans before removing his jacket and sliding into the ring. Adrian then climbs the turnbuckle to the left of the ring and makes a gun motion with his left hand. He cocks the gun and fires with his hand before jumping off the turnbuckle and stretching out for a few minutes.

Max Blake: Ladies and gentlemen, owner Stefan Slain has declared that this match will have a time limit and that he’ll make an announcement at the end of the match.

DING DING DING

Ace: Say what? We’ve never had a match with rules let alone a time limit? I think the owner is stacking the deck to possibly force both men to not make the finals.

Jax: Or maybe there’s more to the stipulations then we think?

Ace: Both men making their way to the center of the ring. Words are being exchanged between the two men. And it looks like we’re going to get a handshake to start the match.

Jax: We’ll see how long the sportsmanship and pleasantries last before someone gets aggressive and strikes first.

Ace: Both men circling the ring, Syberus reaches out for a grab but Adrian takes a step back as both men continue to circle around.

Jax: Syberus raises his right arm up in the air as Adrian raises his left arm hand up, looks like we’re going for a test of strength earlier on in the match.

Ace: The other hands going up in the air as they’ve locked up now. Syberus quickly pulls Adrian towards him as he releases a hand and spins around going behind Adrian.

Jax: Adrian quickly turns around and grabs the legs of Syberus and takes him down.

Ace: Syberus quickly rolls to the side and grabs the left arm of Adrian and pulls it back, trying to lock int but quickly tries to go for a rear naked choke.

Jax: Syberus trying to be assertive early on in this match. Adrian quickly moving and trying to escape. Adrian now has Syberus on his back.

Ace: Adrian pins that right arm of Syberus as he’s on his side. Tanner trying to gain some control of this match early on.

Jax: Tanner on top with a mount, going for a headlock as both men get to their feet. Tanner trying to cinch that headlock in but Syberus quickly pushes Adrian down to the mat.

Ace: Adrian now on his back as Syberus is on his side and reaches back for the legs of Tanner. Adrian not having it, locking his legs together as both men pushing themselves up towards their knees.

Jax: It’s now Adrian who has Syberus on his chest while he pulls the left arm of Syberus back. Syberus rocking his side, finally able to push Adrian back as he cradles him.

ONE….

Ace: Adrian rolls back and both men quickly to their feet standing off against each other. Syberus walks backwards and begins to circle around again.

Jax: Syberus going to try and rely heavily it looks like on his technical side this evening.

Ace: Both men going for what appears to be another test of strength but Adrian uses his legs in an attempt to try and take Syberus down to the mat.

Jax: Syberus holding his ground as he tries to grab Adrians head. Adrian still has both arms locked around the leg of Syberus.

Ace: Tanner trying to push him down, but Syberus instead manages to get another cradle on Tanner. But no pin attempt, Tanner is on his back as Syberus applies a headlock while sitting on the side of Adrian.

Jax: This may be a blessing in disguise for Adrian who may not want a fast paced match after his match against Collins earlier.

Ace: This looks to be a smart game plan by Syberus in trying to wear down his opponent and keep this match on the mat.

Jax: But will the strategy of keeping this a ground game work?

Ace: Syberus continuing the mat game as he keeps that headlock on Tanner. Adrian with his hands up in the air, trying to roll out and get to his feet.

Jax: If Syberus can take away the aerial game and keep it like this he has a good shot at getting to the finals.

Ace: Adrian nips up and rolls back over, and now it’s him behind Syberus once again pulling that left arm back. Arm wringer taking place as it’s now Adrian in charge.

Jax: Adrian to his feet, another arm wringer and puts some snap into it this time keeping Syberus bent down. Syberus to his feet fighting off another arm wringer somehow manages to push Tanner back onto the mat and roll the legs up.

ONE…

Ace: Kickout by Adrian as Syberus now has Adrian in a sleeper as he sits behind him on the mat.

Jax: After seeing the one on one vs Psychotic Goth and then the Slain asylum, Syberus finally gets a chance to have a ground game match.

Ace: It’s not something you’re going to see much around these parts but if anyone can pull it off it would be him.

Jax: There may be one or two others, all depends on the match.

Ace: Adrian reaching back with his right arm trying to reach it around Syberus head. He’s rolling over to his side and on his knees trying to get to his feet.

Jax: Syberus takes him back down and over onto the mat maintaining a headlock now, no momentum for Adrian so far in the match.

Ace: Adrian now trying to wrap his arms around Syberus waist. Syberus takes his legs and locks up the left arm of Adrian.

Jax: Tanner using that right arm and pushes Syberus head back and in the process lets go of the headlock and Adrian now has his legs wrapped around Syberus head and twisting.

Ace: Tanner turns his body around into pushup formation and twisting Syberus head applying more pressure.

Jax: Syberus kicking with his legs trying to reach the bottom rope. Adrian again moving his body as he’s sitting on the mat. Syberus pushing up with his hands trying to flip over.

Ace: Adrian now arching back getting as much pressure as he can, and Syberus using everything in his arms to push his head out and manages to do so.

Jax: Syberus pushes Adrians chest and keeps him down on the mat, grabs the left leg of Tanner and twists it as he leans back.

Ace: Adrian trying to roll around for position and scoots backwards towards the ropes and manages to grab the bottom rope. Syberus holding onto the foot as the referee starts to count.

Jax: The referee gets to the count of two and Syberus finally lets go, rolls to the side and stands up. Adrian to his feet and moving back to the corner.

Ace: Adrian sitting down in the corner and stretching out that left leg. Both men locking up again but Syberus dives for the right leg now and again takes Adrian down.

Jax: Syberus sitting over the chest of Tanner and pulls that right leg back towards him and locks it in close to his chest. The game plan seems to be coming into focus now. Keep Adrian grounded.

Ace: Now rolling over and onto his back, Syberus almost has Adrian in a figure four but not quite, maintaining that right leg and applying more pressure.

Jax: Adrian hitting the chest of Syberus and grabs Syberus left leg now and trying to turn the tide. Again almost looking like a figure four but Adrian now on his knee and yanking on that left leg of Syberus.

Ace: Pulling back on that leg, Syberus using his free leg trying to push Adrian back and give himself some space in the process.

Jax: Syberus kicks Adrian in the chest and that gets him back onto the mat, Syberus again reaches for that left leg and applies the pressure again.

Ace: Tanner rolls over to his side and pushes himself towards the ropes again, reaches over and grabs the bottom rope. Once again the referee telling Syberus to release the hold.

Jax: Again at the count of two Syberus finally lets go, rolls over and gets to his feet stepping back away from Adrian.

Ace: Syberus has the game plan, he just needs to keep Adrian away from the ropes. Surely a bit of damage is taking it’s toll on those legs.

Jax: Adrian again back into that corner and stretching out his leg before getting back to his feet. Looking at both of these men I’m not sure what Psychotic Goths game plan will be for either one.

Ace: Tanner now walking back to the middle of the ring and tapping his left foot on that mat, not sure if he’s trying to get feeling back into it or get his footing.

Jax: Both men going to lock up, but Adrian takes his right leg and drives it into the Syberus side with several stiff shots. Stiff kick to Syberus chest now with his left leg, Tanner seeming to wince just a bit with that.

Ace: Several more stiff kicks, he goes for another but Syberus catches the leg and forces Adrian down onto the mat. Syberus now pushing that leg onto the ground and lifts himself up into the air only to drive his knees into Tanners leg.

Jax: There it is, the first real shot of assertiveness from either man here tonight. Once again Syberus drives his knees into the leg of Adrian and goes back to pulling it towards his side.

Ace: The great one doing all he can to maintain control here tonight and really wants to take the leg out.

Jax: Syberus notices he’s too close to the ropes again and stands up to pull Adrian back to the center of the ring and looks like he’s going to apply a figure four, but Adrian gets to his side quickly but the move is still locked in.

Ace: Again you have to ask yourself. How much did the last match take out of Adrian and how much ring rust is on him?

Jax: Tanner rocks back and forth and finally flips over onto his chest reversing it. Adrian in push up formation breaks out of it and drives a knee into the back of Syberus right leg as he pushes it towards his back.

Ace: Adrian driving his knee harder into Syberus leg, he reaches for the arms and pulls him back towards his chest.

Jax: Tanner continues to arch back and pull the arms of Syberus back arching him as best he can. Adrian lets the arms go and stands up driving his foot into the back leg of Syberus.

Ace: Just a little heated exchange here. Both men willing to take a stiff shot if it gives them an advantage but so far a clean match. Just a bit more assertiveness shown here from both men.

jax: You’re one match away from the finals, friendship goes out the window and do what you need to do for the win.

Ace: Adrian walks over and goes to grab the legs again, Sybeus kicks Tanner in the left leg pushing him back.

Jax: Syberus now has Adrian back on the mat and decides to return that stiff kick to the back of the legs. Syberus walking back towards the corner to give himself a bit of space.

Ace: Adrian up to his feet, Syberus hits a dropkick to the shins of Adrian and then goes back down to grab the leg and apply some pressure to it .

Jax: Syberus pulling on that left leg and wrapping it around his knee and pulling back. Adrian trying to push himself back towards the ropes to get a break.

Ace: Adrian decides to sit up and reach over grabbing Syberus by the head and pulling him back into a sleeper.

Jax: Syberus releases that leg and now is at Adrians full dispense as he lays back and Tanner now has that sleeper locked in.

Ace: Adrian locking it in even tighter as you can see the look on Syberus face. The referee asking him if he’s okay and Syberus tells him to back off.

Jax: Both men now on their side, the referee raises his hand up and it quickly falls to the mat. Tanner rolls Syberus over and goes for a pin attempt.

ONE………..TW……

Ace: Syberus with a kick out, Adrian rolls off of Syberus and gets to his feet while the great one is still on the mat.

Jax: Adrian with a stiff kick to the back of the head and follows that up with a running dropkick to the back of Syberus.

Ace: That left leg looks a bit like he’s limping. Adrian helps Syberus up and takes him down with a snapmare, jumps up in the air and drops a leg over Syberus.

Jax: Adrian grabs the leg and goes for another pin attempt.

ONE ……….TWO……

Ace: Still a lot of gas left in the tank here. Adrian again helps Syberus up and hits a snap suplex and goes right back working on the arm. He’s got his legs wrapped around the head of Syberus as he pulls the right arm back towards his chest and lays back as far as he can.

Jax: If Syberus wants to take out a leg then Adrian is going to take out an arm. Who’s going to lose a body part first?

Ace: The referee continuing to ask Syberus if he wants to give up the but the answer is always no. Adrian releases the arm and Syberus head and gets to his feet.

Jax: I don’t think Tanner wants to make his friend submit here.

Ace: Adrian to his feet and does a standing moonsault onto Syberus. That got a crowd reaction. Adrian again with the pin attempt.

ONE ………..TWO……….T……….

Jax: Syberus again kicks out. Every time I watch his matches I keep wondering what it’s going to take to pin his shoulders to the mat and who’s going to accomplish that feat?

Ace: Adrian across the ring and takes a quick breather while Syberus gets to his feet. Flying forearm smash by Tanner. Syberus stumbles back into the ropes, Adrian goes and locks him back into another headlock and tries to take him back to the center of the ring.

Jax: Syberus with enough ring awareness to fight it off and grab the top rope, referee asking for a break.

Ace: Adrian gets a count of two and raises his arm up, it looks like he’s going to drive it down into the back of Syberus neck but stops and backs away.

Jax: Once again, you have to throw friendship out the window. I’m a bit shocked he was able to restrain himself.

Ace: Adrian now with a springboard backflip and hits a ddt on Syberus. The fans on their feet for that one.

ONE ………..TWO………

Jax: Syberus just shoved Adrian off of him with authority. Once again showing he’s got a lot left in him.

Ace: Both men to their feet, Adrian sends Syberus into the ropes and coming back hits a springboard hurricanrana. Maybe Adrian had more in him for this match then we gave him credit for.

Jax: I am so lost here. Syberus went from having control of this match to now it seems like his head is somewhere else. Is it possible that he’s thinking towards the finals already?

Ace: Adrian now pointing his fingers in gun formation at Syberus.

Jax: Syberus just took a thirteen hour flight to Newcastle upon Tyne and all he got was this lousy boot to the face! But smart enough to know of his surroundings and Syberus rolls out of the ring.

Ace: Adrian goes running across the ring and drives over the top rope sending Syberus into the guardrail.

Jax: I’m in shock right now. I can’t recall any time having seen Syberus where he wasn’t in control of the match, even against Psychotic Goth.

Ace: Syberus pointed out that Tanner might not be ready for his opponent in the finals but Syberus is. However I don’t think he was prepared to see his former partner in the tournament, let alone facing him in the semi finals.

Jax: Mr. Slain warned Syberus that he had something in store for him.

Ace: Adrian to his feet and grabs Syberus rolling him back into the ring. He picks the great one up and hits an exploder suplex.

ONE………..TWO……….T………

Jax: Again Syberus finds the will to kick out. If you’re Adrian you have to wonder what it’s going to take to put this guy away. Tanner has been in control a good portion of this match but Syberus kicking out of everything he’s being hit with.

Ace: Psychotic Goth went through the same experience. You can have control of the match for as long as you want, but how long before you tire yourself out trying to put Syberus away.

jax: This guy has some sort of alarm that just won’t let him stay down.

Ace: Adrian picks Syberus up and slams him down onto he mat with authority and now he’s making his way to the turnbuckles and going up. What does he have in mind?

Jax: Tanner with a moonsault off the top turnbuckle and grapevines the legs.

ONE…………TWO……..T…..

Ace: Syberus kicks out and pushes Adrian off of him with a lot more force then before. It’s like the more you punish this guy the stronger he gets.

Jax: The fans on their feet here. One of their own may be taking a beating but he’s still in the match and refuses to go away.

Ace: This is exactly why he was signed. One of the best talents in the industry and we’ve got him.

Jax: Tanner to his knees and looks at the referee in a bit of disbelief. I think the fans are just as shocked. Adrian can’t believe it was only a two count.

Ace: Adrian slaps the top rope with his hands and grabs Syberus, whips him into the ropes but it’s reversed and Syberus hits a dropkick to the shins of Adrian. Tanner stumbles back into the ropes and gets hit with a running knee kick, followed with an evenflow ddt.

jax: The crowd is coming alive! This is the fist bit of offense Syberus has had in quite some time here.

Ace: Syberus walks over and drives several elbows into the chest of Adrian, one looked like it caught him near the throat. He drops down and grabs that left leg of Tanners and pulls it back again.

Jax: Going back to do further punishment on the leg. Adrian seemed to have straightened it out, but you can see by the look on his face that he’s feeling every pull.

Ace: Syberus pulling that leg with every ounce of strength that he has in him, Adrian on his side and trying to reach for that bottom rope. Tanner reaches the rope, we get a count of one before Syberus breaks it.

Jax: But he quickly grabs that leg and drags Tanner back to the middle of the ring and dives on top of that leg with his elbow. He has Tanners left leg pulled back under and around his knee and you can hear that Tanner is feeling it.

Ace: Syberus twisting and pulling but Adrian pushing himself back towards the ropes. Syberus has had so much taken out of him he can’t stop Adrian from making his way over.

Jax: The referee again asking for a break. Syberus a bit on edge reluctantly gets up and drags Adrian back to the center of the ring. He turns him over and applies a half crab, once again working on that left leg.

Ace: Don’t forget we have that time limit rule for this match and Mr. Slain never said what the amount of time was. But if there’s no winner there’s going to be an interesting curveball thrown into the finals.

We see on split screen Psychotic Goth and Vampira both watching on. A smug smile across the face of Goth who has to be enjoying the amount of punishment both men have been taking.

Jax: I don’t think Goth really cares who he faces. As long as he gets to hurt someone he’s in a great mood.

Ace: Syberus was sitting on the middle of Adrians back but is now standing up and pulling that leg as far back as he can. Adrian slapping the mat trying to reach for the ropes.

Jax: Adrian pushing himself towards the ropes and falls down onto the mat. His hand falls over the top of the rope and Syberus releases the hold and gets to his feet.

Ace: Tanner rolling across the ring, and seems to be in quite a bit of pain. Syberus mouthed something and I think he said he’s sorry.

Jax: I don’t think so. Syberus is know stomping on the left ankle of Tanner and drives his boot right into several time.s Syberus now helping Adrian to his feet.

Ace: Syberus lifting Adrian up and hoists him in the air, dropping his left ankle down across Syberus knee. Tanner reaching out for his ankle as he rolls towards the corner.

Jax: Syberus applies a figure four to Adrian and locks it in. As he leans back, he quickly sits up to deliver several chops to Adrians throat.

Ace: Tanner now rolling from one side to the other either trying to reverse the hold or grab the ropes, whatever he can create happening first.

jax: Adrians shaking his head, the pain from his leg and now the ankle appear to be finally taking it’s toll on him.

Ace: Tanner reaching for the bottom rope and grabs it, Syberus appears frustrated as the referee asking for a break and it takes us to the count of three before he finally lets go.

Jax: Syberus stands on the ankle of Adrian and drives his foot down into it as hard as he can. Clearly he’s upset about the constant rope breaks. Is the pressure of getting to the finals starting to take a toll on his mindset?

Ace: He seems to have remorse in him, he reaches down and helps Adrian to his feet only to take him down with a hangmans neckbreaker.

ONE…………TWO…….

Jax: Looks like he got the shoulder up. I could see he was going for a kick out but that leg seems pretty weak right now. Syberus sitting up and staring down at the mat.

Ace: Syberus taking a few steps back, Adrian using the ropes to help himself up, you can see he’s not wanting to put any pressure on that left leg.

Jax: Springboard flying elbow by Syberus. The crowd on their feet.

ONE………….TWO………..

Ace: Adrian again rolls that shoulder up and over. Syberus quickly to his feet and grabs Adrian by the legs and drags him back to the center of the ring.

Jax: Another figure four by Syberus. We’re back to the ground game and the longer this match goes on, the more it’s taking a toll on Adrian.

Ace: Syberus sitting up and falling back onto the mat repeatedly adding more pressure. The referee asking Tanner if he wants to give up and he just keeps rocking back and forth saying no.

Jax: Even if Adrian can pull this win off, how effective is he going to be on his feet in the finals?

Ace: Adrian tries to reverse it but Syberus quickly rolls back over. Adrian slapping the mat as more pressure is being applied.

Jax: Adrian sitting up and doing all he can to reverse it but with each attempt he uses his arms to sit up and push himself back towards the ropes. He finall wraps both arms around the ropes and the referee asking for a break.

Ace: We get another three count before the release but Syberus again very upset drives a fist into the ankle of Adrian before rolling over and getting up to his feet.

Jax: I told you! With each bit of frustration comes a little bit more aggression.

Ace: Syberus again drags Tanner back to the middle of the ring and raises that left leg up into the air and drives it down into the mat hard as he falls back with the leg wrapped up in his arms.

Jax: Syberus now back to his feet and still holding the left leg of Adrian, drags him back towards the ropes this time and lays it over the middle rope. Syberus applying pressure to the ankle as he pushes it down over the ropes.

Ace: It took to the count of four for Syberus to release the hold. He’s growing more and more upset and the more upset he gets the more aggressive he’s getting. How frustrated must he be to be so close to the finals and not having the formula to put away his former partner.

Jax: Clearly these two men know each other better than they know themselves and Syberus taking that extra step to move on.

Ace: Syberus pacing the ring now, he seems upset and I think it’s with himself. This isn’t the type of guy we’re used to watching and he is a crowd favorite.

Jax: I know it’s not like him to take these extra long shots before letting go of a hold but there’s a lot riding on this, but he does seem upset with himself.

Ace: Adrian trying to pull himself up with the help of the ropes and from here you can see that he’s not wanting to put any weight down on that foot.

Jax: Syberus circling the ring and he’s stalking Adrian just waiting for him to step back away from the ropes. Adrian takes a few steps and his hobbling but Syberus grabs him and hits a full nelson facebuster.

ONE……………TWO………….TH………

Ace: The fans are loving this match. Adrian gets the shoulder up and Syberus slams his fist into the mat. I don’t know who much pain Adrian is feeling but it’s not enough to stay down and just take the pin.

jax: Syberus to his feet and lifts up Adrian as he takes a step back but Syberus lost his footing and Adrian falls down on top of Syberus.

ONE …….TWO……….T……

Ace: Syberus throws Adrian off of him. The look on his face shows how surprised he was at the slip and quick pin attempt from Adrian.

Jax: Again Syberus helps Adrian to his feet and goes to lift him in the air but Tanner flips over Syberus and goes behind him hitting a german suplex into a bridge pin.

ONE……..TWO……

Ace: The weight on his ankle caused Tanner to drop the bridge. His ankle couldn’t handle the pressure. If he was fuly healthy would that have been a three count?

Jax: Adrian to his feet but quickly drops down to his knees. He grabs ahold of Syberus by the head and again tires to get to his feet.

Ace: Tanner for the second time drops to his knees. He’s not able to get solid support down on that left leg. But he’s trying for a third time to get to his feet.

Jax: Syberus hitting fist shot after fist shot into Adrians left leg dropping him back down to one knee.

Ace: Adrian as best he can standing and leaps up hitting a facebreaker ddt. I’m not sure who that took more out of.

Jax: Adrian crawls over half way leaps onto Syberus for the pin.

ONE……………..TWO…………..THR…….

Ace: Syberus pushes Adrian off of him agian. The fans on their feet, they’re witnessing something special here tonight. Adrian to his feet and grabs Syberus only to drop him right back down with a scoop slam.

Jax: Adrian now looks to be climbing up the turnbuckles. But you can see how gingerly he is going up.

Ace: Syberus to his feet but is hit with a flying lariat by Adrian. I don’t think Tanner got all of that though. His footing wasn’t stable as he came off the turnbuckle.

ONE……….TWO………..THR……

Jax: Syberus manages to push Adrian off of him again. The fans are standing on their feet and this has to be the loudest arena we’ve been in yet.

Ace: Having enough, Syberus rolls out of the ring to get a breather. Adrian going back over to the turnbuckles. What does he have in mind this time?

Jax: Diving hurricanrana! That just wiped Syberus out and sent him into the guardrail, but Adrian is rolling around on the mat holding his ankle.

Ace: This guy is all heart and that could cost him. He wants to put on a clinic, he is doing all he can to end the match and he keeps pressing forward. But at what cost?

Jax: Psychotic Goth and Vampira have made their way to the top of the entrance way now. They’re watching this match very closely.

Ace: I just hope there’s no interference. This has been a great match up and deserves to have a true winner. There’s no loser in this match, both men giving everything they have.

Jax: If either man show this much heart in the finals Psychotic Goth may be in some serious trouble.

Ace: Adrian to his feet first, gets Syberus and rolls him back into the ring. Tanner now on the ring apron and holding onto the top rope. Syberus to his feet but Adrian catapults himself over the top rope and hits a flying forearm smash.

Jax: He turns around to crawl over and drapes an arm over Syberus.

ONE………….TWO………..THR……….

Ace: Syberus kicks out, makes you wonder if the legs had been wrapped up if that was all she wrote.

Jax: Syberus up to his knees as Adrian is on his feet, he grabs Syberus by the back of the neck who drives a fist right into the stomach of Tanner. Adrian steps back and throws a thrust kick into the right shoulder of Syberus.

Ace: Adrian winching at that kick. He used the left leg and good lord did he feel it. Tanner drops down to one knee and Syberus walks over and kicks Adrian behind the left leg sending him crashing down into the mat.

Jax: Syberus stands back and he’s letting Adrian get to his feet. The fans are loving every minute of this match. Tanner now half way up but bent down, is hit with a famouser.

Ace: Syberus got every part of that!

ONE…..TWO………THRE…….

Jax: Why? Adrian gets the shoulder up again and I don’t get it. He’s clearly in pain and I think his heart is over riding his better judgement.

Ace: There’s a title on the line and both men want that last spot in the finals and it shows.

Jax: Syberus to his feet, grabs Adrian by the neck and hits an impactful evenflow ddt.

Ace: Syberus rolls him over and hooks the leg.

ONE…………………..TWO……………………THRE………..

Jax: Tanner gets the shoulder up again. Syberus just sitting there with his mouth open. Much like he Syberus did earlier, Adrian is getting out of everything that he’s hit with. Again more heart then brains right now.

Ace: Syberus again grabs Adrian by his neck…..hangmans neckbreaker! Syberus telling Adrian to stay down.

ONE ………………….TWO………………….THRE………..

Jax: Right arm up and over. Adrian saves himself yet again and Syberus beside himself here.

Ace: Syberus up and pacing the ring, he looks at Adrian and tells him that he doesn’t want to do this. He goes to send Adrian into the ropes but he falls down onto the mat instead.

Jax: Adrians legs gave out! Tanner has nothing left in the tank and all Syberus can do is stand there and look on. The referee checking on Adrian and Syberus looks concerned.

Ace: Syberus walks over and helps Adrian up but Tanner goes behind him and goes for a backside catching Syberus by surprise.

ONE………….TWO………..THR………..

Jax: Syberus gets out of it and doesn’t appear too happy. He wasn’t expecting that at all but Adrian did what he could to try and get a quick pin.

Ace: Syberus to his feet and comes charging towards Adrian but is greeted with a springboard thrust kick. That sends both men down and again Adrian checking on that ankle.

Jax: I don’t know where he’s getting the inner strength but Adrian back to his feet and hits a springboard tornado ddt. But once again he’s holding that ankle. Syberus is down but Adrian is in pain.

Ace: Adrian crawls over and drapes an arm over the chest of Syberus.

ONE…………………TWO…………….THRE…….

Jax: Syberus had a few extra seconds to rest while Adrian checked his ankle. He’s struggling to put weight on it, but he keeps trying to pull out all the stops.

Ace: The fans on their feet, half the arena chanting Adrians name, the other half chanting Syberus name.

Jax: Adrian to his feet tries to pick up Syberus but his ankle again gives out on him and Syberus falls on top for the pin.

ONE …………………TWO…………….THRE……….

Ace: Shoulder up by Adrian who again refuses to stay down. I have no clue where either man is getting their strength from right now.

Jax: Syberus to his feet and bounces off the ropes and hits a running knee kick, and he follows that up with another running knee kick and a third running knee kick.

ONE ………………TWO………………..THRE……….

Ace: You’ve got to be kidding me! Syberus with his head buried in his hands. What is it going to take to put his former partner away?

Jax: I don’t think Adrian has a clue what’s going on, he’s running on pure fumes there’s no other way to explain this.

Ace: Syberus helps Adrian up, he goes for a chop to the throat, Adrian ducks, spins around and hits an exploder suplex. Is this the one that keeps Syberus down.

ONE………………………TWO………………………THRE………….

Jax: And now Adrian is the one who has his head in his hands. Good lord this is classic.

Ace: Syberus again helps his friend up but Adrian hits a headbutt, and a second headbutt and hits a facebreaker ddt.

Jax: These two have hit everything almost several times over but both men have more guts then brains right now.

Ace: Rolling fireman’s carry slam followed up by a standing backflip splash. But the ankle again taking too much punishment. Adrian barely draped over Syberus.

ONE ………….TWO ……………..THRE………

Jax: Once again, if he could have only hooked the leg. But with the ankle as bad as it is, how much of the impact is he actually getting delivered?

Ace: Adrian to his feet, looks like he’s going for a suplex and trying to hook Syberus leg but he’s not moving. Syberus hitting the ribs of Adrian and Tanner tries again.

Jax: Tanner almost has him up in the air but he can’t finish it. Syberus using all of his weight to not go up. Adrian tries one last time but his ankle gives out. Adrian collapses and goes down to the mat.

Ace: Syberus to his feet now and looks at the crowd and screams this is it and gives the signal. He reaches down and grabs his fallen partner and hits a single underhook implant DDT.

Jax: PURE CONFIDENE!!!!!!!

Ace: Syberus right back to his feet. He looks down at his fallen friend and this time you can hear him clear as day. Syberus telling Adrian he’s sorry but he has to do this.

Jax: PURE CONFIDENCE AGAIN!!!! Syberus just laid his former partner out with another pure confidence.

ONE……………………….TWO………………………THRE……E!!!

Ace: He did it! Syberus reached deep down inside and hit Adrian with everything he had. Syberus is going to the finals and will square off against Psychotic Goth one more time.

Jax: It took TWO Pure Confidence shots to put his former friend away, that’s showing a lot of respect for Adrian knowing that one might not do the trick so he had to hit two in a row.

Max Blake: Your winner of the match and moving on to the finals THE GREAT ONE , SYBERUSSSSSS!!!!

Both men are laying on the mat, neither one moving. The referee checks on both men as the crowd is on their feet. Chants of we want a re match are heard along with thank you Adrian and thank you Syberus.

Ace: Syberus to his knees now checking on Adrian. That had to impact him on a mental and emotional level to do that.

Jax: You know it did, he said sorry several times. But he knew deep down it was going to take something extraordinary to defeat Adrian and holy hell did it ever.

Ace: Syberus is now over in the corner standing up. The referee looking back toward the entrance and motioning. It looks like we have a few doctors coming down to the ring to check on Adrian.

Jax: I’m with these fans. I want to see a rematch between these two. Syberus hanging his head in the corner, he seems more upset with what he had to do then excited about winning the match.

Ace: The doctor coming into the ring to check on Adrian. Tanner now sitting up, telling the doctor he doesn’t need any help. The referee is asking if he’s sure and Adrian again says he has this.

Jax: The doctor and referee are outside the ring now and Adrian just sits in the middle of the ring trying to get his head clear. The fans are still on their feet giving both men a standing ovation.

Ace: We may not be the biggest company, we may not have the biggest roster, hell we may not have the years of blood, sweat and tears behind our name. But I dare anyone out there to put on a better show then our talent does.

Jax: Syberus looking over at Adrian and slowly making his way over to the center of the ring. He sticks his hand out and offers it to Adrian. Adrian sits there for a few minutes and finally accepts the hand and is helped to his feet.

Ace: Now that’s the way you end a match. This was two of the industry’s best giving it everything they had and the match needed to end this way.

Jax: Syberus pulls Adrian in and says something to him but I have no clue what. He pats him on the back and raises his hand up in the air. Adrian returns the favor and raises Syberus arm up in the air as well.

Ace: The great one is getting the hometown applause but both men are getting nothing but love and respect from this audience. Tanner says something to Syberus before limping his way to the corner and slowly going down the ring steps.

Syberus turns around and climbs up the turnbuckles and points both index fingers straight up towards the sky and then drops down and does the same at all three corners. The video screen goes black before Stefan Slain is shown on the screen clapping his hands.

Stefan Slain: Well congratulations Syberus. I must say you intrigue me. I offer you a bye to the finals and you turn it down. I make your match a falls count anywhere and you keep it in the ring. Hell, I even put up a time limit and you defy the odds.

But I’m all about chances, second chances especially. And you know what? Second chances are just what I have in mind.

Syberus stops and looks up a bit confused as he wipes the sweat from his forehead.

Stefan Slain: You know I decided that I’m not going to reward anyone with an automatic bye to the finals, so you can relax. But Syberus….what would you say if I told you that this tournament was double elimination?

Syberus walks towards the ropes and looks at the video screen in disbelief.

Stefan Slain: That’s right. What if I told you Collins, Turner, Davitt, Khan, Tanner all could have another shot into the finals? I mean you did say you’ve gone through the entire roster. And you did say that you would win this entire thing.

So how about it Syberus? How do you like me now?

Syberus appears a bit angry and irate and turns his back walking around the ring shaking the ropes as he goes by.

Stefan Slain: You see, I could easily do that. But lucky for you that the main event was something beyond spectacular. So I’m not going to do that to you. You've gone through everything and everyone placed in front of you.

So there’s one last thing standing in your way and that’s the championship finals next month in Miami, Florida!

The championship match between you and Psychotic Goth will be a very special one. It’s a BEST 2 OUT OF 3 SERIES IN ONE NIGHT!

But there’s a twist. Each of you get to pick a match stipulation for one fall. You can choose any match of your liking, and the same goes for your opponent. However, should we got to a third and final match......

Well let’s just say for your sake it doesn't! Because you don’t want to know what the third and final match stipulation will be. Congratulations again Syberus. I’ll see you in Miami.

The video goes to black as Syberus stands there unsure of what to think. The crowd begins to chant Syberus and thank you as he once again takes time to acknowledge all the fans.

Ace: Another bombshell. Next months championship match in Miami at the American Airlines Arena will be a best 2 out of 3 series with each guy getting to pick one match of their choice.

Jax: Just when you thought nothing more could be thrown at you, our owner comes up and does this. The guy is flat out twisted but he did tell everyone whoever won the title was going to have to earn it.

Ace: What an impressive tournament so far that ended with a match that will go down as an alltime great here in ACW. For Max Blake, Jax Carver and myself thank you for ….

Jax: Ace, I’ve just been told that we need to take it to the back.

Video footage is shown of Adrian Tanner laying outside the arena with his head busted open. A set of flames is spray painted around his body with a black tarot card. We hear a voice over before the screen fades to black.

You call yourself the Arizona Asssassin? You have no clue what you're up against. Your pain has just begun Adrian and it's only going to get worse.

The show fades out with the ACW logo.
