[The Ripper]

Its not like you thought of the idea in the first place Diesel, there has been Match Writing Tournaments before and it was only a matter of time before it was brought back by somebody.

Congratulations Dennin

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Besides Diesel, you weren't the only pitching the idea for the tournament. Lethal Combination ask to run one as well and Echelon send me 2 or 3 PMs about it.

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

Beth Phoenix grew sick of playboy covergirls getting all the spotlight in the Divas, and jumped ship to the Knockouts following Roxxi Laveaux’s win over Daizee Haze for the Knockouts title. Beth Phoenix’s first appearance was interrupting a promo where Scott Steiner was declaring Rhaka Khan a genetic freak and therefore the strongest Knockout. Beth lifted Khan in a gorilla press and threw her onto Scott, then kicked them both out of the ring. This resulted in a match declared for the following week, where Beth destroyed Khan.

Meanwhile, Moose started a feud with Roxxi over the Knockouts title. At their title match at Victory Road, however, Beth interfered and cost Moose the match. At the following iMPACT!, Beth said that Moose had months to challenge for the title and didn’t take the opportunities, so now, Moose was going to go to the back of the line and wait her turn. Cornette came out and declared that at Hard Justice it would be Beth, Moose, and Roxxi in a Triple Threat Match for the title. During the match the ref was knocked out, and Moose took that opportunity to bring a two-by-four wrapped in barbed wire into the picture. She busted Beth and Roxxi open and eventually pinned Roxxi to win the Knockouts title.

At the following iMPACT! It was announced that Roxxi’s injuries from Moose’s attack would put her out of action for an undetermined amount of time. ODB took it on herself to avenge Roxxi, and challenged Moose to a Bimbo Brawl that night. Moose pinned ODB after a German suplex onto a pile of fluorescent light tubes. ODB had to be wheeled out on a stretcher. As Moose celebrated, Beth slid into the ring and cracked her with a steel chair, knocking her out and making it official that she wanted a title match. The match came at No Surrender. Moose was disqualified after cracking Beth with a STOP sign. Moose then knocked the ref out, and proceeded to beat Beth down until, to everyone’s surprise, Gail Kim made the save.

At the following iMPACT!, Gail said that she helped Beth because Moose was a psychotic bitch who had no right to be in civilized society, much less to hold the Knockouts title. Beth came out and told Gail off, telling her to stay out of things that don’t concern her. She then demanded a rematch with Moose, and said that if she wanted to take things to the next level so bad, the match would be the first ever Knockouts Full Metal Mayhem match. Moose came out with a kendo stick, yelled ‘I ACCEPT’, and cracked Beth with the stick. Beth stumbled back, and Gail dove at Moose and began raining punches on her. Beth quickly joined in and tossed Moose out of the ring, then began yelling at Gail, again telling her to stay out of it. Gail protested, Beth got in her face about it, Beth said something she shouldn’t have, and Gail gave her a hard backhand slap. Beth was knocked back, quickly advanced, and Gail gave another, harder chop. Beth painfully rubbed her cheek, turned back to Gail with a smirk, and challenged her right there to a match. The match went on for a solid 20 minutes, both of them being busted open in the process, and Beth picked up the win with a delayed fisherman suplex. Beth had to use the ropes to climb back to her feet. She looked back at Gail, paused, and then to everyone’s surprise helped Gail to her feet.

Next week, at a backstage segment, Beth said that Gail had earned her respect, and now Gail was going to help Beth train for the match against Moose. Over the next couple of weeks Beth trained with Gail, Beth and Moose quarreled at every opportunity, and ODB and Roxxi returned, though still recovering and staying in the back.

On the iMPACT! before Bound for Glory Beth was challenged by Angelina Love and Velvet Sky to a handicap match. Beth won with a double chokeslam. Beth returned to the back after the match and found Gail, ODB, and Roxxi laid out amongst broken furniture. Beth went back to the ring and screamed for Moose to come out. Moose came out, and security had to hold them apart.

Full Metal Mayhem for the TNA Knockouts Championship
Moose © vs. Beth Phoenix​

There was a chair already laying on the mat in each corner of the ring, and a table set up beside the ring facing both entrance ramps. The ladders were still under the ring.

Moose brought a shopping cart full of weapons to the ring. She entered with a kendo stick and walked to the center of the ring to face Beth. Beth looked Moose over, smirked, and flexed her arms. Moose screamed in rage and swung the stick like a bat. Beth grabbed it, ripped it out of Moose’s hands, snapped it across her knee, and tossed it away. Moose glared at Beth, a sort of feral look on her face, and swung with a punch. Beth grabbed Moose’s arm, spun to twist it, then picked her up and hit her with a backbreaker. Beth yanked Moose up and went to whip her to the corner. Moose held her ground, and went to whip Beth. Beth reversed it and sent Moose to the corner, then charged to hit a high elbow. Beth grabbed Moose and threw her on her stomach, then grabbed the chair. Moose got to her hands and knees, and Beth cracked her in the head with the chair. Beth smirked and tossed the chair away.

Beth climbed outside the ring and reached under it, producing a ladder. She slid it under the bottom rope. Moose suddenly kicked her end of the ladder, driving it into Beth’s chest. Beth stumbled back as the ladder fell to the outside, glared at Moose, and jumped to the outside apron. Moose charged and hit Beth with a big boot, knocking her off the edge and smashing her through the table. Beth arched her back in pain, slowly rolling onto her stomach. Moose climbed to the outside, grabbed Beth, and slammed her head against the ring. Moose forced Beth’s neck against the edge of the ring, held her head there with one hand, and punched the back of Beth’s neck. Beth screamed, coughed, stumbled away, and tripped over the remains of the table, falling flat on her stomach.

Moose grabbed the ladder and slid it into the ring. She then went to her shopping cart and grabbed a crossing guard’s stop sign. Beth had pulled herself to her feet and was leaning against the ring. Moose kicked the table remains away, stomped to Beth, and swung for Beth’s head. Beth grabbed the sign in both hands and yanked it away. Moose kicked Beth in the gut, grabbed her head, and went to smash Beth’s head against the ring post. Beth stopped herself with one hand, and smashed Moose’s head against the post. Moose stumbled back, and Beth cracked her head with the stop sign.

Beth tossed the sign away and slid into the ring. She set up the ladder and began to climb up. Moose quickly slid into the ring and pushed the ladder over. Beth landed on her feet, managing to grab the top rope for balance. Moose grabbed the ladder, snapped it shut, and charged for Beth using the ladder as a battering ram. Beth strafed to the side, charged, and hit Moose with a hard punch. Moose dropped the ladder, and Beth continued to hit punches. Moose battled back, exchanging punches with Beth, until Beth grabbed her and whipped her to the corner stomach first. Beth spun Moose around, kicked her in the gut, and hit her with a slingshot suplex. Moose landed with her back hitting the fallen ladder. Beth got up, kicked Moose out of the ring, and set up the ladder. Beth almost reached the top when Moose slid back in.

Moose fell off, took the top rope to her neck, and fell flat on her back.

Beth climbed out of the ring. She folded up the remaining table on the outside and slid it into the ring. She then walked to the other side of the ring, grabbed Moose’s shopping cart, and threw the whole thing over the top rope and into the ring. Out bounced a large Yield sign, a steel rod, a guitar, and a small burlap sack. Beth slid into the ring. Moose was just getting up. Beth kicked all the objects towards the sides of the ring, then walked right to the guitar and picked it up. Moose got to her feet, and Beth smashed the guitar over her head. Moose stood in place, wobbled for a second, and fell flat on her stomach. Beth smirked, then began setting up the table. Beth walked over to Moose and pulled her up. Moose knocked Beth away with an elbow to the gut, then hit her with a Thesz press and began hammering with punches. Beth eventually blocked one, grabbed Moose’s head, and headbutted her away. Moose stumbled back, and Beth got to her feet. Beth grabbed Moose by the neck with both hands and moved her to the table, setting up for a chokebomb. Moose quickly grabbed Beth’s neck with both hands, and the two struggled to gain the advantage.

Beth broke the hold by grabbing Moose’s arm and spinning to twist it. Beth then hit Moose with a gutwrench suplex. Moose’s own momentum got her to her feet again. Beth jumped up, grabbed Moose by the neck, and shoved her to the top turnbuckle, choking her against it. Beth pulled Moose away and hit her with a chokebomb onto the yield sign. Beth walked to the ladder, set it up, and began to climb. Moose grabbed the steel rod, got up, and yanked Beth off the ladder with one hand. Beth landed on her feet and threw a punch. Moose blocked, and cracked Beth in the thigh with the rod. Beth screamed and held her thigh, hopping on one foot, and Moose jabbed Beth’s forehead with the end of the rod. Beth fell flat on her back, holding her forehead on both hands.

Moose tossed the rod away and grabbed the burlap sack. She went to the table, opened the sack, and poured out hundreds of tacks. She spread the tacks throughout the table, then walked over to Beth, who was now bleeding from the rod shot. Moose pulled Beth up and positioned her for a German suplex onto the table, but Beth grabbed the ladder. Moose hit an elbow to Beth’s back and tried again, but Beth again grabbed the ladder. Beth hit Moose with some back elbows, breaking her hold. Beth grabbed Moose’s head and went to slam it against the table. Moose stopped herself with a hand, and went to slam Beth. Beth stopped herself with a hand, elbowed Moose in the ribs, and slammed her head on the table. Moose stumbled away. Beth advanced, kicked Moose in the gut, and got her high in a delayed fisherman suplex. Moose flipped through and landed on her stomach. Moose got up, and Beth whipped her to the nearby corner. Beth charged, and Moose kicked her away with both feet. Moose grabbed the chair from the corner and cracked Beth with it. Beth got her arms up but still took the shot, and fell on her back.

Moose stumbled to the ladder and began to slowly climb. Beth got up. Moose got half way up the ladder. Beth turned her back to the ladder, reached up, and grabbed Moose with both hands. Beth tried to yank Moose down for a powerbomb, but Moose held on. Beth tried a second time, and this time hit Moose with a powerbomb through the table. Tacks flew in all directions, and Moose didn’t move. Beth slowly climbed the ladder and retrieved the Knockouts belt.

I just have to hand it for Roxxi as he took advantage of the stipulation(No Holds Barred) and morphed into another match.

[The Rated R CMStar]

You can vote now for either King Lennie or Roxxi

 

[TRI]

Just a suggestion, I think everyone should be required to vote that is still in this tournament. Last time most matches only got 2 or three votes. Just an idea...

 

[Tsaalyo Phoenix]

^ I disagree. People forced to vote may just pick a random person, or pick their friend.

 

[Chuck Taylor's Grenade]

Quick question: I'm assuming a fight without honor would be within the rules for the second round since it's essentially a no holds barred match, right?

 

[Qwake]

im not sure but its getting annoying, mine and roxxi's matches have been up a while and yet we have know votes. it will end up being 0 - 0 and thats annoying tbh...

 

[Chuck Taylor's Grenade]

Both matches were very brutal. I liked Roxxxi's backstory a little bit better, really provided a good reason for why the match was happening. My vote is for Roxxxi.

 

[The Rated R CMStar]

Yeah dude, people have until FRIDAY to vote, and it's only Monday, so they have plenty of time yet

 

[Echelon]

I'll do this on a point system

Roxxi had the better backstory, it was more much more detailed and got me pumped to read the match + 1 point for Roxxi

King Lennie match was longer and more detailed + 1 point for Lennie

Roxxi utilized the stipulation and created a totally different match than what was called for + 1 point for Roxxi

King lennie's match had a much more even number of spots between the combatants, as Roxxi's match seemed more one sided in areas. Lennie also did and an excellent job of utilizing each combatants moveset to the fullest + 1 point for Lennie

This is where I'm torn, Roxxi's match had the better finish but Lennie's match was more consistent overall. If I was watching these two matches on television, I would say that I'd honestly be more into Lennie's match because of how the spots are set up within the match despite the weak finish. Because of the consistency with the flow of spots shown throughout the match, I am giving this point to Lennie +1 point to Lennie

Lennie wins the scoring process with a vote of 3 to 2

I am giving vote to King Lennie

BTB Match Writing Tournament
Round Two-No Holds Barred​

For over a year Jimmy Jacobs and Lacey were the power couple in Ring of Honor. With Jimmy Jacobs at the helm the Age of the Fall dominated Ring of Honor for the better part of a year. Jimmy Jacobs and Tyler Black even managed to win the tag team titles on two occasions. Jimmy Jacobs was looking to expand his group by adding the services of Austin Aries. After several recruiting attempts, including one by Lacey herself, Austin still refused to join the Age of the Fall. In a surprising turn of events Lacey left Jimmy Jacobs to be with Austin Aries. Jimmy Jacobs, already mentally unstable as it is, began to show signs of a full mental breakdown. At Return Engagement Jimmy repeatedly spiked himself in the head and even sat out the main event match against the Vulture Squad.

Several weeks later Jimmy Jacobs and the Age of the Fall ambushed Lacey leading to her departure from Ring Of Honor. Austin Aries tried on several occasions to exact revenge against Jimmy Jacobs but Jimmy constantly ducked the challenge or made it tag team matches. Eventually Austin Aries won matches against Necro Butcher and Tyler Black on back to back shows despite heavy interference to finally get a match against Jimmy Jacobs at Death Before Dishonor 6. Gabe Sapolsky, knowing the intense hatred these two men share and knowing that the match probably wouldn’t end cleanly, took it a step farther and made the match a Fight without Honor. How far will each man go to win the match? How much blood will be shed?

The Story​

Kane had been feuding with Celeste’s longtime friend and former partner Aurelia Molotov (picture a near 7 foot tall version of April Hunter). Aurelia had become the target of the Big Red Machine, who had been previously running roughshod through the entire roster, after pinning him in a tournament to crown a new Intercontinental Champion. After weeks of stalking Aurelia (which included viciously attacking her during the UWWA Tournament) Kane defeated Aurelia in a non title match up on RAW. That was when Celeste interjected herself into the feud.

Celeste, who had made history a few months back by becoming the first ever women’s world champion by pinning Chris Jericho, had just come off successful in a feud against Shawn Michaels. Celeste told Aurelia that she had her back, and that she wouldn’t let Kane do any harm to her. Aurelia knew that she could trust her friend, though she knew that there was an evil lurking beneath her exterior. Celeste began to do Aurelia’s dirty work, which began when she called out Kane on behalf of her friend. The Big Red Monster was taken aback by Celeste, because she showed no fear of him. It perplexed him and he soon voiced his confusion. At first Kane was taken aback by Celeste’s beauty, commenting backstage on how she looked so much like a lover that he lost a long time ago.

It wasn’t until after a little poking and prodding by Kane revealed Celeste to be as sadistic and as unpredictable as he was, as Celeste unknowingly revealed her inner demon to Kane. Kane soon stopped seeing Celeste as a mirror image of a love lost long ago and began treating her for the psycho he saw in her. Kane made it a personal mission to bring the monster in Celeste to the surface, in which he all but failed. In one last desperate act, Kane cornered Celeste. He told her he could see the evil in her. Kane asked her what was holding her back, what was keeping her from losing it…. Celeste told Kane that unlike him, she still had a free will of her own; she wasn’t a prisoner to her sub consciousness. Kane told Celeste that he wanted to see the evil unleashed.

As the weeks leading up to the big Summer PPV drew closer, Kane made one last attempt to bring the demon out of Celeste. Kane and Aurelia were slated to go one on one at the Summer PPV with the IC title on the line, but Kane made it a mission to take Aurelia out before the PPV. A week before the PPV, Aurelia defended the title against Batista, and despite Batista’s best efforts to win the belt, Aurelia retained. Kane brutally attacked Aurelia post match, Celeste ran to the ring to save her friend, but the damage had been done. Kane had succeeded in his quest to take Aurelia out of the match, as his attention suddenly turned from Aurelia and her title, to the demon that lay dormant inside Celeste. Celeste agreed to take her friends place and to face Kane at the PPV, but she warned Kane, that if her demon did become unleashed during the match, the all too familiar a circumstance would be too overwhelming for his fragile psyche to comprehend.

In the days leading up to the match, it was revealed how similar Kane and Celeste really were; their dark childhoods, their fascination with fire, their damaged psyches and unpredictability, and their extremely high thresholds for physical pain. Celeste revealed that although Aurelia was her friend, she was glad she was taking her place against Kane. She didn’t see Kane so much as an overwhelming challenge, but rather as an obstacle that needed to be deconstructed, both physically and mentally. Kane stated that right before the match at the PPV that he had come to a new conclusion about Celeste. Kane reveled that the more he looked at Celeste, looked into her eyes, and studied her demeanor, the less of his long lost love he saw in her and the more of himself he saw in her. Inside, Kane said he knew that Celeste was sick, twisted and demented. She was a monster, just like he was.

The Match​

Jim Ross: Welcome everyone to the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis, Indiana. What a PPV it has been so far and the night has only just getting started…

Jerry Lawler: That’s right JR. And what a match up we have next, “The Big Red Monster†Kane vs “The Submission Queen†Celeste Crimson…. In a No Holds Barred Match…I’m at a loss for words on this one

JR: And we’re joined by the lovely Sable, representing the UWWA to help us call the match…

Lawler: Sable!

Sable: Hi guys! Man….Kane vs Celeste… it’s like looking in a mirror these two. You wouldn’t know it from looking at Celeste, but she’s psychotic. She’s unpredictable and she’s dangerous.

Lawler: More so than Kane? Kane’s a monster what could he possibly have to fear?

Sable: well for starters, you have to take in Celeste’s incredible martial arts background. If you’ve ever really seen Celeste in action you’ll know why people sometimes call her the most dangerous woman alive. She has lethal kicks and strikes, she can use submissions at will, and I’m sure she can move faster than Kane can even think. Kane will need more than power….

Sable is cut off in mid sentence as “Conquer All†by Behemoth plays over the loudspeaker. The crowd erupts but their cheers are soon drowned by the sound of exploding pyro. A blast of pyro ignites a Hazard Sign hanging above the ring, which burns bright as the music plays. Celeste begins to make her way to the ring, escorted by walls of flame that shoot up around her

JR: It’s like she’s walking straight through fire!

Announcer: Introducing first, from Sacramento, California weighing 170 lbs, Celeste Crimson!

Celeste acknowledges the crowd as she makes her way to the ring. She jumps up onto the ring apron and grabs the top rope. Celeste slingshots her way to the top of the rope, balances herself on the top, before doing a shooting star press dismount into the ring.

Lawler: Well that’s one pyromaniac out of the way… Ahh!!

He’s cut off by the huge blast of pyro signaling the arrival of the Big Red Machine. “Slow Chemical†by Finger Eleven plays as Kane walks down the ramp with a purpose, staring down Celeste the entire time.

Announcer: And her opponent, from Death Valley, weighting 326 lbs, Kane!

Kane ignores the hostile welcome he receives from the crowd, as his mind is set on focusing on one thing… Celeste. Kane reaches up and grabs the top rope and pulls himself onto the apron. Kane steps over the top rope and into the ring, his gaze never breaking away from Celeste. Kane slowly raises his arms over his head, as the arena darkens. Kane drops his arms as lightning flashes from the sky and strikes the 4 corners of the ring as 4 large pillars of flame erupt from the turnbuckles, igniting the air around him and his opponent. Celeste remains unmoved during the display of power, showing Kane that she won’t be intimated by his bag of tricks. Kane backs away with a scowl on his face as Celeste cracks a sadistic looking smile. The referee rings the bell and the match is underway.

Kane backs away and turns to face Celeste again. Kane tries to trap Celeste in a corner and overwhelm her but she rolls beneath his legs and kicks him backwards into the turnbuckle. Celeste quickly follows that up with a knee strike to the face. Celeste backs away and tries to bait Kane out of the corner. Kane takes the bait and rushes out of the corner, where Celeste trips him with drop toe hold. Celeste immediately tries to apply the Ankle Lock, but Kane kicks her off and gets back to his feet. Celeste takes Kane out at the knee, bringing the big man to his knees; Celeste kicks Kane in the head dropping him to the mat. With a grunt, Kane quickly rolls out of the ring and onto the floor. Kane begins to pace as he begins to voice his frustrations. In a fit of rage, Kane lifts the ring stairs from their foundations and sends them flying.

Lawler: Easy big guy, no need to lose your cool…

Sable: Celeste is getting into his head, he knows it…

Kane and Celeste trade words, as Celeste taunts Kane from the inside. Celeste targets Kane’s knee again, but Kane catches her kick and powers her down to the mat with a short arm lariat. Kane mouths off to Celeste, but eats his words as Celeste sits up to look him in the eye. Kane kicks Celeste in the face, grabs her by the shoulders and places her in an upright position. Kane runs, bounces off the ropes, and hits a low dropkick, sending Celeste flying across the ring. Kane picks Celeste up and tosses her body outside the ring where she lands in a heap on the mat below. Kane follows Celeste to the outside and rams her against the barricade. Kane picks Celeste up like a rag doll and drops her face first against the top of the barricade. Celeste shakes off the attack and begins to move towards the announce table, with Kane in tow. Kane hits Celeste with a shallow uppercut as Celeste falls across the announce table. Kane scares away several ring officials away from their chairs, grabbing two of them, he tosses the chairs into the ring. Kane grabs Celeste and tries to whip her into the ring post, but Celeste counters and kicks away Kane’s arm. Celeste kicks Kane in the leg and drives him back against the ring apron where she leaps up and knees Kane in the side of the head, dropping his body down to her level. Celeste takes advantage and begins to wail away on Kane unmercifully with repeated right hands, taking the giant down to the floor.

JR: Celeste has lost it, and now she’s beating Kane unmercifully with right hands!

Sable: Ah, I think her reactor core has been destroyed… gentlemen, get ready for a meltdown

Celeste reaches under the ring and throws a trashcan into the ring before reaching underneath the ring again and retrieving a lead pipe.

Lawler: Ahh! Kane she has a pipe, this maniac woman has a pipe!

Celeste advances with the weapon and begins to batter the Big Red Machine with it. Kane begins to retreat back towards the barrier, as to shield himself from Celeste’s onslaught. Kane suddenly grabs Celeste’s arm, preventing her from hitting him with the weapon and flings her over the barrier and into the crowd. Kane steps over the barrier in pursuit, but is immediately met with another shot with the lead pipe. Kane blocks another shot with the pipe from Celeste, and then shoves her aside. Kane begins to brawl with Celeste as the fight thought the crowd. Kane slams Celeste hard against a steel wall. Kane mouths to her that “two people with their instability cannot co existâ€. Kane tries to avalanche Celeste against the wall, but she moves out of the way at the last second as Kane hits the wall hard. Celeste responds with an “I know†before pummeling Kane with more of her vicious kicks. The two fight their way over to the production stage next to the stairway leading to the entrance ramp. Kane overpowers Celeste and throws her against the steel stairs. Kane forces Celeste up the steps and onto the entranceway. Celeste continues to show her tenacity, fighting Kane the entire way.

JR: This match has become nothing but a brawl. Just two sadistic, maniacal human beings imposing their will on each other

Lawler: And on one side you have a 7 foot 330 pound sadistic monster that doesn’t feel pain…

Sable: and the other you have a sadistic martial arts master who also doesn’t feel pain… hmm… tough call

Celeste takes advantage of her formidable striking ability, freeing herself from Kane’s grasp with her lethal kicks. Celeste rears back and catches Kane across the chin with one of her awesome superkicks, causing him to teeter on the edge in front of a drop of the entranceway. Kane quickly drops to a knee to save himself from going over, knowingly leaving himself open to attack. Kane blocks the oncoming kick, reaches out and grabs Celeste by the throat. Kane picks Celeste up over his head and runs with her, driving her back first into the Plexiglas beside the Titantron. Kane picks Celeste up on his shoulder, looking to drive her face first into the Plexiglas fixture, but Celeste rolls of Kane’s shoulders at the last second. Celeste looks for another superkick, but Kane wisely dodges the kick at the last second. Celeste kicks the Plexiglas with so much force, her foot imprints itself on the bottom of the glass as the bottom of the fixture begins to shatter.

Celeste goes to the outside apron, looking to slingshot herself onto Kane. Kane finds himself aware of his surroundings and jumps up to meet Celeste as she slingshots herself to the top, knocking her off the ropes with an impressive looking dropkick.

JR: Bah Gawd!!! What athleticism from the Big Red Machine!!

Lawler: Oh my gosh! Kane just leapt up and drop kicked Celeste right out of the air!

As Celeste struggled to her feet on the outside, Kane ascended the top turnbuckle. With the crowd holding their breath, Kane leaped from the top taking out Celeste on the floor below

Sable: That’s it, she’s done. She may not feel pain, but that doesn’t mean her body doesn’t absorb it.

Kane walks over to Celeste’s limp body and nudges it with his foot. Kane lifts Celeste to her feet and lifts her body over his head in a military press.

Sable: How is Celeste doing this after that brutal chair shot?

Lawler: as you pointed out Sable, Celeste is a martial arts master, these are all basic maneuvers to her, she could do them in her sleep... or in this case, knocked halfway unconscious

Kane manages to fights his way to his feet as he simply picks Celeste straight off the canvas holding her above his head trying to choke the life out of her. Celeste gouges Kane’s eyes to free herself. Celeste tries to capitalize but Kane knocks her right back down with a boot to the face. Kane walks over to retrieve the trash can as the crowd firmly gets behind Celeste, willing her on. Kane swings the can at her but Celeste ducks out of the way. Kane tries to swing the can again, but Celeste kicks the can straight back into his face, knocking him to the canvas. Celeste goes for a quick cover

But can’t keep Kane down for long as the Monster gets right back up. Celeste knees Kane in the head and decides to go high risk. Celeste gracefully ascends to the top of the turnbuckle. Standing on the top, she motions to the crowd who cheer her on in approval, as Celeste completes a picture perfect Shooting Star Press, coming down hard across Kane’s body. Celeste goes for the cover again.

JR: Celeste hits the Shooting Star Press! But will it be enough to pin Kane?

Kane gets the shoulder up at the last second, as Celeste begins to lose her temper once more. Celeste grabs Kane and locks in her patented rear gogoplata submission hold, trapping Kane’s arm behind him and wrenching it at a ridiculous angle. Kane rolls and uses his long leg to reach the ropes. Kane elbows his way free, and gets to his feet. Kane grabs Celeste and yanks her to her feet, but Celeste counters and begins kicking away at the injured knee she had worked on earlier. Kane pushes Celeste away but she fires back with a low dropkick, dropping Kane to the mat leaving him holding his knee in pain. Celeste has a wild look in her eye has she begins to stalk Kane. Celeste levels Kane with a superkick and then quickly moves and looks in her nasty submission finisher, the Pyroclasm.

JR: Oh my God! The Pyroclasm! This nasty MMA style Crucifix Choke submission hold, Shawn Michaels tapped out a few weeks ago to this maneuver, and now it’s locked in on Kane!

Lawler: Aaah!! Will Kane Tap? Will he pass out?

Kane struggles violently against the hold, Celeste holding his arms hostage making it impossible for him to break free using his upper body. Kane desperately tries to make it to the bottom rope using his feet, as Celeste cinches in the choke trying to knock Kane out. Kane cries out in pain, and tells Celeste “you haven’t beaten me yet†using all the power he can muster, Kane begins to fold Celeste’s body like an accordion using his right arm, and maneuvers Celeste straight onto her back into a pin. The referee moves into the count but Celeste breaks the pin immediately, consequently forfeiting her submission.

Sable: Kane broke the Hold! What does Celeste have to do to beat this monster?

Kane swats Celeste away, Celeste tries to capitalize but Kane grabs her by the throat and plants her with a massive Chokeslam!

Lawler: Ah the Chokeslam! Its over now, I knew Celeste couldn’t beat kane

Kane goes for the cover

But Celeste kicks out at the last second

JR: Bah Gawd! Celeste kicked out of the Chokeslam! Where does this woman keep finding the strength to continue?

Sable: Celeste doesn’t feel pain, she doesn’t suffer. She’s basically the female version of Kane. You think you’ve got her down, but then she just gets right back up

Kane is furious that the Chokeslam didn’t put Celeste away. Kane begins to argue with the ref about the count but the ref holds his ground. Kane losses his temper and assaults the ref, Chokeslaming the referee all the way to hell for his efforts. With Celeste still trying to recover after the effects of the Chokeslam, Kane slowly walks over to the turnbuckle to retrieve the small brown bag. Kane holds the bag in his hand with a sadistic smile on his face. Kane begins to trash talk Celeste as he opens the bag and pours out hundreds of thumbtacks on the middle of the canvas.

Lawler: Thumbtacks!!!

Kane gestures with his thumb as he motions for the Tombstone, much to the horror of the crowd. Kane lifts Celeste onto his shoulder, looking to drive her headfirst onto the tacks. Before he can complete the maneuver, the movement of a figure running down the ramp quickly catches his gaze. The crowd erupts as the Intercontinental Champion, Aurelia Molotov (picture a near 7 foot tall version of April Hunter) runs down to the ring to confront Kane

JR: Aurelia, the woman that The Big Red Monster put out of action right before this match, she’s back to get a piece of Kane!

Kane drops Celeste and quickly turns his attention to Aurelia. Kane tries for a clothesline, both Aurelia ducks, quickly taking it to Kane with right hands. Aurelia ties to whip Kane but he overpowers her and sends her into the ropes, but Aurelia charges back with a flying clothesline, knocking Kane down. The crowd is on their feet as Aurelia stalks Kane. He gets back to his feet, and Aurelia grabs him by the throat. Kane struggles against her grip, and counters, locking his hand around her throat. Locking the two in an epic struggle for control.

JR: Oh my god, whose going to blink here?

Sable: This is an epic struggle between these two behemoths!

Kane begins to overpower the smaller and weaker woman as he begins to feel her grip loosen. Panicked, Aurelia low blows Kane, killing his momentum.

Lawler: Gosh what a low bow! That could be the death blow for Kane!

Aurelia grabs Kane by the throat and chokeslams the larger man onto the bed of thumbtacks! Aurelia slides out of the ring as another referee runs down to the ring, just as Celeste moves in to the cover on Kane!

JR: By God she’s done it, Celeste has pinned the big red machine! Celeste pins Kane thanks from a late match interference from Aurelia Molotov

Lawler: Oh my gosh, I didn’t think she could do it.

Sable: I had a feeling that was going to happen; Kane took Aurelia out of this match specifically so that he could have Celeste all to himself, Aurelia got some retribution in this match, costing Kane the win

Lawler: Aurelia chokeslamed Kane on a bed of thumbtacks!

JR: it was an impressive display of power

Announcer: here is your winner by pinfall, Celeste Crimson!

The crowd Cheers Celeste as Aurelia enters the ring to congratulate her friend. The two back away and make their retreat as Kane sits up from the bed of thumbtacks, staring at the two women with a look of pure hate in his eyes.
