Tazz: What a match up were gonna have here!
Cole: especially after their little skirmish earlier!!
-=The arena goes’s silent and the lights turn to a dark shade of red. ‘One Last Sunset’ slowly opens up into the crowd, piercing them with its notes. Lights start slowly flickering on and off, black and red darting everywhere. No one can see anything. Then, as the music reaches its verse, there is an almighty explosion of flames, red flames to be infact, stained by the light. Just one explosion. Then, the lights ease up a bit, and the crowd can just about see a dark figure slowly making his way to the ring. The music plays on, and the fans are desperate to see who this figure is. The man makes his way up onto the ring apron. He hesitates. Then, when the music reaches it’s peak, he throws his head back, and the place lights in eerie green light, along with a fusion of sparks from the ramp way. The fans can make out this figure clearly now, and they’re curiosity is no more. The man gets into the ring, and gets onto the turnbuckle. As he does so, the arena makes one more explosion, before lighting back up to normal again=-
Tazz: Armand does look impressive!!
_-=
+* I GAVE YOU FAIR WARNING! BEWARE!*+=-_
-=My Own Summer bursts out of the speakers as the fans scream loudly with excitement, coldly from behind the curtain Angelus steps out, his face the personification of coolness, his TV title draped over one shoulder, slowly he makes his way down the ramp as the fans reach out to touch him, he half heartedly slaps some of them, he goes to the steps and hands his belt to one of the officials and climbs into the ring and gets straight in Armand's face=-
Cole: This is gonna be some battle!
-=As the two superstar’s stand face to face in the middle of the squared circle the uproar caused by the fans is almost deafening drowning out the two men as they mutter insults and curses to each other, their heated tones of discussion become so disturbing that the referee himself steps back to allow them room to “speak”=-
Armand: If you lay down now… It wouldn’t matter! I’d drag your body of the floor and crush the life out of you!
Angelus: I lie for no one…
Armand: That’s just what I was hoping for! It would be a shame; I’ve looked forward to stepping in the ring with you for years! But of course it was usually standing with you I imagined… never against you, yet… It seems my soul is telling me I want this more, I crave it, destroying your spirit the only outcome Im allowing myself!
-=Angelus pauses as if taking all these threats aboard, and finally looks Armand straight in the eye, the pitch black pupils in his eyes dilating as these refocus=-
Angelus: Nice speech, but I created those…
-=Armand gives a cocky grin, letting loose a toothy smile and looking away confidently, he mocks the gesture of finding Angelus’s comments hilarious and finally looks back, his face losing all emotion and taking on a blank expression=-
Armand: You still don’t get it yet, do you? Let it go… It’s over…
-=It’s Angelus turn to offer a small smile to the situation=-
Angelus: Don’t get ahead of yourself, Im here to wrestle you, and since you shunned the advice I offered… The only thing I’ve got to give you is a trip to school…
-=Armand takes a step back, smile still in place=-
Armand: The only place im going is to the back, with your belt…
-=Angelus nods slightly=-
Angelus: I gave you fair warning… Beware!
-=The crowd pop loudly as they catch the last bit of Angelus’s long forgotten catch phrase=-
Tazz: What did they just say…?
Cole: I couldn’t hear it!
-=The bell rings and the two stars begin to circle like gladiators fighting to the death, although with the two in the ring now, the situation may require it=-
Tazz: Who do you thinks gonna win this Cole…?
Cole: Im not sure… It’s too close to call! Armand looks impressive! And he won with authority last week!
Tazz: True… But Im liking this new Angelus! And what a come back?! Taking Damien’s title in a triple threat match!
Cole: It’s gonna be close!
-=The two wrestlers dart towards each other locking up tightly, each man vying swiftly for the advantage over the other, Armand grips Angelus’s hair tightly and yanks it back hard snapping Angelus’s neck back, Armand uses this chance to deliver a sharp thrust straight into the larynx of The Fallen One knocking him down to the canvass=-
Cole: That’s some cheap tactics by Armand there…
Tazz: It worked didn’t it…?
-=The ref pulls Armand back shouting at him to “mind the hair!” Angelus uses the middle rope to get back up to his feet, he looks across and rubbing his throat slightly, a sly smile forms on his face and he walks towards Armand slowly nodding approvingly=-
Tazz: Of all people, I know Angelus can appreciate a dirty trick!
-=Arrogantly smiling Armand steps forward to meet him=-
Armand: It’s my game were playing now!
-=Armand flings himself of the canvass straight at Angelus how launches himself into the tackle the pair meet and explode in a fury of blows, each man swing a succession of fierce hard left and right, hammering every blow into his opponent with as much force as they can muster=-
Tazz: Whoa!!!
Cole: They just exploded!
-=Armand rolls on top of Angelus and land three hard punches to the face in a row, the stunned Angelus barely manages to lift his knees to drive Armand back and far enough away for him to roll to safety=-
Tazz: Armand clearly coming out better on that exchange!
-=Slightly dazed Angelus stands up=-
Armand: I told you tha…
-=Before he can finish his sentence Angelus dives in, off balance but still believing he can counter it Armand twists mid pose and attempts to tie up with Angelus, but a tie up was never Angelus’s intentions. Ducking low he swings around the back of Armand and quickly applies a side headlock=-
Tazz: Angelus showing his experience there!
-=Armand struggles to release himself as Angelus wrenches his neck tighter, Armand uses all of his strength pushing on Angelus back with one hand and trying to loosen the hold with the other, just as he gets close to freeing himself Angelus quickly wrenches the headlock again=-
Tazz: Smart moves there, simple move but it’s good for wearing down the opponent, not only does it hurt like hell! Your opponent also has to exert his breath to get himself out!
-=Finally after much struggle Armand manages to free himself, spinning around he quickly looks to lock in his own headlock, but before he can properly lock it in, Angelus drops to his knees and with one fluid motion sweeps the legs out from underneath Armand with a swift chopblock=-
Cole: Again… That’s the experience of Angelus showing through again!
-=Without pause Angelus jumps on top of Armand and spins around into a front face lock hooking one arm under the armpit for extra leverage=-
Tazz: And look at that! Back to the face lock move, cutting of that air supply again!
-=The crowd cheer loudly, as the ref goes down to check on Armand, the ref quickly slides his hand between Angelus’s arm and Armand’s neck checking to make sure its not a choke=-
Ref: Do you wanna give up!?
-=Armand doesn’t reply, although he still struggles, it grows weaker by the second=-
Tazz: That move is very effective, Armand needs to be careful having your air supply cut off for prolonged period can cause long term brain damage!
-=The ref asks again, and since there’s no response this time, the ref lifts Armand’s hand high into the air, the crowd scream with excitement as the collapses lifeless back to the floor=-
Ref: 1!
-=Angelus snarls as he tightens the hold shaking Armand tightly, as the ref picks up Armand hand again the crowd roaring approval loudly, As the ref raises the hand for a second time Angelus tightens his grip again grimacing as he applies as much pressure as possible, the hand drops again lifelessly=-
Ref: 2!
Tazz: One more and its all over!!
-=The ref lifts Armand’s hand for what could be the final time, the excited cheers of the fans pour from around the arena, the ref drops the hand and predictably (015_tongue.gif) the hand stops just millimetres from the canvass, so close in fact that many members of the audience cheer thinking its over=-
Ref: No!! He’s safe!
Tazz: Oh so close!!
-=Using a boost of energy from the same unknown source that Hulk Hogan always seems to be able to find, Armand starts to struggle fiercely on the mat, twisting and turning struggling to get back to his feet. Angelus face looks distressed as he tires desperately to keep the new “Up & Comer” from getting up as he powers his way of the canvass=-
Cole: Where is he getting this power from?!
-=After several moments of battle Armand finally makes it too his feet, still in the head lock though, he charges towards the ropes and pushing Angelus hard into them, shoves him away using the elastic power of the ropes to further his momentum=-
Tazz: Good tactics from the rookie!
-=As Angelus is sent charging across the ring he bounces of the ropes, before he has a chance to gather his wits Armand charges straight in, almost beheading him with a sickening clothesline, due to the huge impact Angelus spins 360 in the air (Rikishi styleeee)=-
Cole: Ohhh…
Tazz: Its not often you see Angelus turned inside out like that!
Cole: Well, how do we know were not gonna be seeing a lot more of that from now on?!
Tazz: I’ve never thought of that, guess I just haven’t got my head around Angelus not being… you know what he was before…
Cole: I know, weird…
-=Armand shakes his neck off, clicking it suddenly to the side as if trying to get rid of the stiffness, looking down at Angelus he spits on him=-
Cole: Armand’s got quite an attitude
-=Armand pulls Angelus off the mat, and flips behind him quickly putting one arm around his neck and the other underneath his arm pit and locks his hands=-
Tazz: The Curse!!! The Curse!!!
Cole: That’s Angelus own move!!!
-=Armand begins to strangle Angelus and attempts to bite down on the side of his neck before his teeth can penatrate Angelus drops down too his knees countering with a stunner styleee move=-
Cole: how about that for an ending!! Armand taking out Angelus with his own move!!
Tazz: Well maybe that moves universal to all Vampire’s how do you know?!
-=Armand feels the pain in his jaw, but doesn’t let go, he simpley drag Angelus back to his feet and with a quick swivel of his hip he hurls Angelus backwards over his head with a Tazzmission back suplex splattering Angelus skull over the mat=-
Cole: OWWWW!! Aint that your move!?
Tazz: Ummm.. yeah…
Armand: I told you, this is my game!
-=Armand goes to the ropes and rebounds almost playfully, dropping a huge elbow across the throat of Angelus, the fans begin to boo loudly, Armand pops up quickly laughing, turning to the crowd he shouts loudly=-
Armand: DID YOU LIKE THAT?!
-=Bouncing off the ropes again, he drops another stiff elbow across the throat, this time as he gets up he pulls Angelus off the canvass with him=-
Cole: Irish whip!
-=Armand swiftly Irish whips Angelus across the ring into the turnbuckles following straight through with a steam rolling clothesline splash=-
Tazz: What impact!
-=Armand steps back with a smile on his face, and Angelus waddles of the corner in a daze, not having a clue where he is. Armand quickly grasps Angelus arm and hurls him diagonally across the ring straight into the other set of turnbuckles, Angelus thunders into them and the pain shoots straight through his spinal column. Seemingly having no patience Armand charges again hurtling across the ring with another splash style clothesline=-
Cole: Armand’s going for another one of those devastating splashes!
-=Just before he can make impact, Angelus blindly stumbles out of the corner not in any particular direction but realising his current positions is somewhere he really should be, Armand crashes powerfully into the corner smashing his face on the metal pole at the back=-
Tazz: That had to be pure instinct right there!
-=Angelus drops to his knees gathering his balance, and spots Armand stumbling back grasping at his head, reaching between his legs Angelus flips him over with a school boy pin=-
Cole: School boy!
-=Angelus leans over adding more leverage to the move and the ref drops down for the count=-
Ref: 1! 2!
-=Armand explodes out of the cover in a rage, springing up to his feet as Angelus collapses back to the mat=-
Tazz: Kick out with authority!
-=Armand quickly falls down to the mat and places both hands around the throat of Angelus and pressing hard down into the canvass begins to crush, the ref immediately calls for the brake of the illegal move=-
Ref: 1! 2! 3! 4! 5…
-=At the very last second Armand breaks the move, pulling Angelus up from the mat, Placing his head between his legs, he raises one arm signally to the crowd, who reply with a chorus of boo’s=-
Tazz: looks like he’s going for some kind of powerbomb!
-=With a quick tug to Angelus’s mid section Armand hoists him high into the air and on to his shoulders, spinning in a small circle he jumps and sits down driving Angelus hard into the canvass with a spinning sitout powerbomb=-
Cole: ohhh!!
-=Still sitting in the same position, Armand leans forwards hooking both legs for the pin=-
Tazz: That’s it its over!
Ref: 1! 2! 3…
-=With a last grasp effort Angelus shoots out his hand and grabs hold of the bottom rope=-
Cole: He got the rope!
-=In a rage Armand stands up, and stomps angrily on the floor, and the crowd cheer loudly=-
Tazz: There was no way he was kicking out!
-=Armand drags Angelus off the floor and begins to shout in his face=-
Armand: Stay down!! What’s wrong with you?!
-=Angelus spits out a stream of blood, it dribbles down the side of his mouth=-
Cole: Angelus is bleeding from the mouth!
TazZ: I think it was that clothesline!
Angelus: Hehe… -=Spits more blood=- You cant keep me down…
Armand: I can, and I will!
-=Signals with one hand across his throat that “Its over!” and lifting the 300 lbs’er off his feet and over his shoulder=-
Tazz: Looks like he’s going for a tombstone piledriver!!!
Cole: No…
-=Armand begins to try to lower Angelus, but he begins to wiggle his way backwards over the shoulder, Armand struggles to keep his grip but Angelus slips off his shoulder and lands behind him, he quickly pulls one arm around Armand’s head from behind and leaps back with a sudden reverse DDT=-
Tazz: Shades of Sting there!
-=Angelus rolls over for the quick cover=-
Ref: 1! 2!…
-=Armand heaves his shoulder of the mat, and Angelus rolls back away from him and into the corner propping himself up crouched quietly=-
Tazz: Angelus is setting him up!
Cole: He’s just stalking him!!
-=Armand unsteadily gets to his feet with his back to Angelus, not knowing where he is, turning in a daze Angelus launches out of the corner like a rocket flying straight across the ring and turning sideways taking Armand off his feet with a flying shoulder tackle=-
Cole: Special Delivery!! Special Delivery!!
-=Angelus rolls over on top off Armand and locks in a full nelson, instead of going for the submission on the floor he drags Armand to his feet=-
Tazz: Looks like he’s going for the submission!
-=Angelus suddenly puts his legs through Armand’s and sweeps from both away falling on top of him with all his weight and driving his face into the mat completely unprotected=-
Cole: OHHHH!!!!
-=Armand’s face shatters in a pool of blood spilling from the nose, Angelus rolls him over and looks for the cover=-
Ref: 1!
-=Angelus pulls back, and gets up=-
Ref: Hey! What are you doing?!
-=The audience surprised go quiet, As Angelus looks around and then down at Armand’s body on the mat, slowly and with a huge grin Angelus looks over at the nearest set of turnbuckles and points wit one arm and raises the other in a half shrug as if asking “shall I?”=-
Tazz: He’s going up top!
-=The arena bursts in a chorus of cheers and Angelus bounds over to the turnbuckles leaping up high with one bounce=-
Tazz: He’s going for the Angel’s Flight!!
Cole: He needs to be carefully about showboating! It almost cost him the match last week!
-=Slowly Angelus stands and looks down at Armand fallen on the mat, standing completely still he prepares himself to leap… and then stops…=-
Tazz: What’s he doing cole?!
-=Angelus raises one hand to the side of his head as if he had a huge migrane, he begins to wobble on the top turnbuckle, as he looks down at Armand with his face covered with his own blood, images and faults begin to face through his mind, countless ‘victims’ from this very position up on the turnbuckle begin to shift into his vision and one by one, extra bodies begin to appear in the ring inside Angelus head=-
Cole: He looks confused… What’s he looking at?!
-=Angelus stares around the ring in a daze as various superstars appear splattered with blood, puncture wounds at their necks laying lifeless, their unmoving eyes staring point blank at Angelus=-
Angelus speaking in a hushed tone: Im sorry… Im sorry…
Tazz: What’s he saying?!
Cole: What IS he looking at?!
-=Angelus raises his other hand to his head, and begins to try and shake the visions out of his head. One by one they begin disappearing and it looks like Angelus is regaining his balance, when one more body appears, this one doesn’t have puncture wounds in his neck… but his neck is disgustingly twisted out of place, shattered in various positions=-
Angelus: No…
-=The body is X-ssive, the first man to fall to Angelus during his last terror campaign who dies when Angelus performed a “Last Ride” and shattered his head on the ring apron=-
Tazz: He’s staring at that same spot, what’s going on?!
-=That’s the last straw, Angelus tumbles of the turnbuckle making no attempt to protect himself and drops down sickenly on his head=-
Cole: Someone get a doctor!
Tazz: The match is still going on! Look!
-=Still extremely dazed but standing Armand looks confused as he looks down at the fallen Angelus, but wasting no time Armand drops down for the cover hooking the leg=-
Cole: Not like this! What’s wrong with Angelus?!
Ref: 1! 2! 3…
-=More of a reflex action to hearing the count of the ref than actually wanting to Angelus extends his hand to save himself with the ropes for a second time=-
Cole: Again saving himself with the rope!!
-=Visibly dismayed Armand gets to his feet shouting at the ref=-
Armand: That was 3!!
Ref: 2!
Armand: It WAS 3!!!!
Ref: 2!!
-=With one huge hand Armand reaches out and shoves the ref down face first, not knocking him out but knocking him down in a daze, Armand drops to the floor and rolls out of the ring reaching underneath to pull out a large steel sledge hammer=-
Cole: What’s he gonna do with that?!
Tazz: Bake a cake? What do you think?!
-=Armand rolls back in and raises the sledgehammer into the air laughing loudly as the fans begin to boo and scream random abuse=-
Cole: This isn’t gonna be good!!
-=Armand takes a few steps back and crouches stalking Angelus, who slowly attempts to get to his feet, but he stops staring at the space where he just imagined a haunting one of his ‘victims’, confused Angelus stares into space not moving, Armand patiently waits, with a huge grin on his face gesturing with his free hand for him to get up=-
Tazz: Turn around!!
-=Suddenly from out of the crowd from behind, a small figure climbs over the barrier and slides into the ring=-
Cole: Is that who I think it is?!
Tazz: It cant be…
Cole: It’s Gillian Hart!!!
-=The figure grasps Armand’s shoulder and attempts to turn him around unsuccessfully, surprised Armand turns and sees the stunning young lady in front of him, since he wasn’t here during her last stint in the XWA he has no idea who she is and doesn’t think of her as a threat and speaks to her casually with a smile=-
Armand: Have you come to “Welcome me?!”
-=Gillian smiles prettily, and flutters her eye lashes=-
Gillian: Welcome this!!
-=With one swift movement she boots Armand straight into the groin doubling him over, she then shouts loudly to Angelus=-
Gillian: Angel, baby… Finish him!!
-=Looking around still confused by the earlier images he looks at Gillian=-
Angelus: What..? Your not even real…
-=Gillian smiles and rolls out of the ring, touching Angelus gently on the face=-
Gillian: We’ll talk after hunni, I promise!
-=Feeling her touch, he knows she’s not another one of the visions he just see, he stands visibly shaking=-
Cole: I dunno what Angelus see! But its got him all shook up!
-=Seeing Armand still dazed he reaches over and locks in a double underhook, and with one fluid motion, flips Armand 360 degrees ramming his face into the mat with The Last Stop=-
Cole: Sick…
-=Just in time the ref rolls over and makes the slow count=-
Ref: 1!……..2!………3!!
#DING!# #DING!#
Announcer: The Winner! And Still XWA TV Champion! Angelus!!
-=Gillian rolls into the ring holding Angelus title, and flings her arms around him, he looks down at her=-
Angelus: What are you doing here…?
Gillian: Im here to help you…
Angelus: Im not what I used to be…
-=Angelus looks away almost ashamed, but Gillian softly grabs his face and turns it back=-
Gillian: I know… That’s why I came back
-=Smiling softly she hugs him again, and together they turn to leave Angelus sits on the rope to allow her to get through when he looks up on the entrance way, standing there is a solitary figure, clapping slowly with an sly smile on his face=-
Cole: It’s DGX!
Tazz: What does he want?!
-=DGX does nothing, he simply stand there with his usual smirk and slowly applauds Angelus, he mouths the words “Bravo… Bravo…” Angelus stares straight at DGX=-
Cole: You can feel the tension between these too!!
