Turmoil Semi-Finals
Downfall vs. Gerard Angelo
Adilene Floyd: The following is our MAIN EVENT, and it is scheduled for ONE FALL!
Chris Avery: It's semi-finals time! It's the last match before Turmoil! Only one of these men can go forward, and either way, we are going to be witnessing history in the Wrestler of the Year tournament! We saw Spencer Adams punch his ticket to the finals about 40 minutes ago.. now its time to see who meets Spencer this Sunday Night!Adilene Floyd: Introducing first... weighing in at 217 lbs... he is the 2021 winner of the Wrestler of the Year tournament... DOWNFALL!!
There's a pregnant pause in the air before the lights in the arena shut down, one by one, with an audible CHOOM as each section goes dark.
The crowd sits in unsteady, uncomfortable silence there, in the dark, for a full thirty seconds, before a blazing neon-red Anarchy symbol appears on the tron, which then transitions into the symbol becoming the A in Downfall's name, slower, and more intensely than it has in recent weeks.
Then, as the jumbotron begins playing images of shots of Downfall hitting various kicks and signature moves, the opening drum rhythm to "Mainlining Murder" begins.
"Don't touch me baby your fingertips, they feel like pins across my skin
Just light another cigarette so I don't regret, inviting you over
Well don't hold my hand or I'll punch your face
I'm a hungry rat in this hole I waste
There's no blood to taste in this awful place
I'm mainlining murder!
I'm mainlining murder!!"
As the music is kicking in harder, Downfall's head is bowed, and he kneels one knee on the stage, tracing the fingers of his right hand across the ramp, then he slowly raises his head to look at the ring. In his left hand, he is carrying a long, curved, black iron crowbar... and, to chilling effect, as Downfall stands, he looks at the crowbar and nods his head. The arena lights brighten, and then, he begins his walk down to the ring, holding his arms out to take in the reaction of the crowd. The crowd, some put off by his newer, more aggressive demeanor and the presence of the crowbar in his hand, boo, but there are still some, hoping for him to listen to his better angels, that cheer. He cracks his neck to the side in an aggressive manner and, one hand on the crowbar, raises it up over his head and as Lars' voice reaches the roughest note of the bridge he slides in the ring, walks over to the ropes and balances himself on the second rope, and then he holds his arms up in a crossed-wrist X symbol. Then he hops down, takes off his leather jacket, sets the crowbar down in the corner, and stretches for the match.
Chris Avery: As we come into the semifinals of this tournament, it can't be overstated how vicious Downfall has been to get here. His last two opponents have run into a veritable buzzsaw.Billy: He's on a MISSION tonight!Chris Avery: You know more than anything he wanted to face Corey Black in the finals and get his revenge... but he had to reset last week after Black's lights got put out by a Box Office Smash... so now what's he going to do?The lights go out in the arena and the sound of a synth starts playing.
Adilene Floyd: And his opponent!
“ALL MY LIFE! GRINDING ALL MY LIFE!”
A lone spotlight turns on directed down at the top of the stage as Nipsey Hustle blasts out over the arena sound system. The people as they give loud boos as Gerard Angelo is shown standing in the spotlight, back to the crowd, the hood of his hoodie pulled up, right arm raised above his head at an angle, one finger extended. The World Championship is draped over his shoulder, the face plate exposed to the camera. He throws his hood back with the same hand and spins around to the crowd, arms extended as a massive explosion of fireworks go off on the stage. The house lights come back on as he lifts the World title, holding it over his head with one hand, surveying the crowd behind his trademark sunglasses. Gerard adjusts the strap, resting it on his shoulder. He makes his way down to the ring slowly, brushing off fans and taunting them.
Adilene Floyd: .....Weighing in at 225 lbs, he is the Action Wrestling World Champion... THE LIVING LEGEND... GERARD ANGELO!!
He stops at the ring stairs, slaps the top step before climbing them, and walks to the center of the ring apron. Angelo surveys the arena crowd again, holding up the World title again to another round of boos, before slipping through the middle and top rope into the ring. He walks to the opposite ring post, leaping onto the second turnbuckle. Gerry points to the crowd before unzipping his hoodie, which gets more than a few ladies in the audience to scream out, before pulling it off and pretending to toss it to the fans, before just dropping it on the floor with a smirk. "The Hollywood Hero" hops down and removes his trademark sunglasses, placing them in the corner neatly before he gives the title a kiss before he hands it to the timekeeper. Gerard leans back against the turnbuckles, mouthing off to the fans as he starts to stretch.
Chris Avery: Gerard Angelo has seemingly been on another level since he came to Action Wrestling in January... and you know that he wants nothing more than to prove, to himself and the world, that he is truly the Man Without Peer!Billy: He's the man with more catchphrases than I have strains of HPV!Chris Avery (lowering his voice with concern): ...What did the doctor say? Did he give you anything for it?Billy: Well, he gave me this cream that I can spread on the - (off to the side) What?? What's a hot mic?!Chris Avery (quickly moving along): ...But if he wins tonight Angelo gets a chance to add another huge accolade to his already banner year!! Isn't that exciting?!Flashbulbs flicker throughout the entire building as Downfall and Gerard stand on opposite sides of the ring from each other. Downfall and Gerard walk out to the center of the ring where each man stares into the eyes of the other as the crowd starts to get louder and louder. The two men back away before circling each other where they look to lock up center ring.
Billy: There's a big fight feel to this one, Avery! There's so much electricity in the air! The crowd is buzzing in anticipation, because this is the last semi-finals match! Everyone knows that whoever wins this match is gonna go on into the finals and take on (Robotically) - SPENCER ADAMS AND/OR SAM KIDSGROVE!Chris Avery: Why... Why did you say it like that, we know who the winner here faces at Turmoil, it's -Billy: REDACTED. EXPLETIVE DELETED. THIS TAPE WILL SELF DESTRUCT IN FIVE SECONDS.Both men jockey for position before Downfall drives a knee into the right ribs of Gerard causing Angelo to break the lock up and stagger back into the ropes. Gerard snarls across the battleground at Downfall before coming off the ropes where they lock up once again. Downfall backs Gerard up into the ropes where the referee calls for and gets a clean break from Downfall. Downfall makes his way back out to the center of the ring where he waits for Gerard. Gerard walks back out to the center of the ring where they look to lock up again, Gerard manages to duck the lock up while taking a back waist lock. Gerard drops down to his knee’s before pulling the legs out from under Downfall sending Downfall to his stomach. Gerard floats into a side head lock where he starts cranking on the head of Downfall. The referee is in position asking Downfall to surrender, he refuses before starting to work his way back to his feet where he delivers several forearms to the ribs before backing Gerard up against the ropes. With a roar, he shoves sends the Legend across the ring with an irish whip, Gerard bounces off the ropes, and walks into a scoop powerslam by Downfall. Downfall quickly covers.
The referee: One... kickout.
Downfall is quickly to his feet where he picks Gerard up off the mat before delivering a back breaker. He quickly makes another cover.
The referee: One... Kickout.
Gerard once again throws a shoulder up off the mat. Downfall reaches his feet where he picks Gerard up off the mat leveling him with a knife edge chop across the chest from Downfall. Gerard quickly gouges the eyes of Downfall to loud boos from the crowd. Gerard reverses the positioning and starts hammering away with right hands to the face of Downfall before sending Downfall over the top rope and out to the floor! Gerard drops down to the mat before rolling out to the floor after Downfall.
Chris Avery: I didn't expect this one to break down so fast!Downfall blinks and shakes his head, leaning on the apron and trying to recover his situational awareness, and suddenly Gerard is on him in a flash, aggressively walking up to him and slamming his head off the apron. Downfall falls over and rolls, and Gerard stays on him, grabbing him and hurling him into the steel steps. The contact causes Downfall to flip over the steps before landing hard on the floor as he clutches his right knee. Downfall grimaces, but otherwise doesn't let the discomfort show. The referee starts to lay the count to both men as Gerard comes around the corner of the ring with a straight assault on the right knee of Downfall with kicks before he picks Downfall up and sends him back into the ring under the bottom rope. Gerard slides into the ring as well where he pulls himself to his feet and measures Downfall as he pushes himself up off the mat and back to a vertical base only to receive a chop block from behind to the right knee which sends Downfall back to the mat screaming in pain. Gerard picks up the right leg as he rolls Downfall over to his back. He yanks Downfall towards the ropes where he drapes Downfall’s right leg across the bottom rope. Gerard steps up on the middle rope where he gets more momentum before driving his weight down on top of the right knee of the champ. Gerard steps back up on the middle ropes where he drives his weight down across the right knee of Downfall a second time. Downfall rolls around, snarling like a wounded animal and holding his leg.
Chris Avery: Brilliant strategy by the champ, if he picks the leg of Downfall apart, Downfall's blinding striking ability and his deadly kicks go out the window.Billy: You're really pouring on the purple prose for this one, wanna sell it as a big deal, huh? ...If someone doesn't win this match, we will set off the bombs!!Chris Avery: Dammit Billy your ironic commentary is underselling the mood!!Gerard continues to damage the knee with punches as Downfall crawls with haste to the ropes grabbing the bottom one. The ref tells Gerard of the grabbing of the ropes and Gerard lets go immediately. But as he does so he steps towards the ropes and delivers a roundhouse kick to the back of Downfall's hand. Downfall pulls it back shaking it and holds up his other hand trying to push Gerard away. Gerard grabs that hand and performs a finger breaking maneuver on Downfall's hand, and Downfall pulls his hand back quickly, clutching it with his other hand before rolling around back and forth in the ring clearly in pain. Gerard applies a few more boots to Downfall, but allowed Downfall to get back up to his feet. Gerard grabs Downfall and tries to whip him into the ropes, but Downfall falls down to the canvas clutching his knees. Gerard then pulls Downfall up to his feet and shoves him backwards into the corner. Gerard then runs to the opposite side of the ring before coming back with a splash to the corner, but Downfall charges forward lifting him up before dropping him head first across the top turnbuckle with a snake eyes. Gerard staggers around for a bit and Downfall uses that to his advantage by kicking Gerard in the gut to bend him over. Downfall then lifts Gerard up above his head in a seated position, before throwing him down almost lightning quick into the turnbuckles with a snap powerbomb. Gerard grabs at his back as he staggers to the middle of the ring and falls flat on his face, still clutching his back.
Chris Avery: Good god, Gerard fell down to the mat like a bird with a broken wing!Gerard flops like a fish for a moment clutching at his back as Downfall gets to his feet with a sadistic grin on his face. Now the Downfall we've seen come out to play the last few weeks asserts himself, and he begins dropping heavy knee strikes right into the temples of Gerard, battering him senseless and not stopping. Downfall climbs back to his feet, paintbrushing the head, and he goes to grab Gerard with a facelock, but Gerard jerks the feet out from under Downfall with a basic takedown. Gerard holds on to both of Downfall's legs and Downfall covers his private parts. Gerard kicks each leg once behind the knee while still holding onto them before jumping forward with an overcastle performed on both legs, landing with a senton across Downfall's sternum before rolling off to the side after the impact. Gerard then turns quickly around and begins laying punches to Downfall's face himself, returning the bruising striking and uncompromising potato shots, forcing Downfall to use his hands to cover himself. Gerard grabs one of these arms and begins dropping knees on it whether it is straight or not with intent on breaking them. Downfall eventually curls himself up into a ball clutching a damaged body part of some kind, and as he does so Gerard runs and hits the ropes. Downfall gets up to one knee as Gerard goes to do a shining wizard. But Downfall ducks it and Gerard falls down back first across Downfall's shoulders. Downfall quickly latches onto him and stands up. Gerard wiggles trying to get free, but Downfall manages to drop Gerard over the top rope to the outside with a Wasteland type of throw, and Gerard falls to the outside with a thud. Downfall leaves the ring through the ropes and jumps down beside the ailing Gerard. Downfall pulls Gerard up, going to hook his head for a double arm DDT. The ref counts them both out.
Chris Avery: Not this!! We saw Downfall maul Teo Blaze with this move last week! He's calling for the 11th Hour out there on the concrete!Downfall is trying for the clamping his hands/lifting up part of the double underhook, but Gerry, fighting with everything he has to flex his shoulders and keep those hands separated, at length, shoves Downfall off of him with everything he has, and Downfall goes pinballing into the steel security rail and turning around, momentarily stymied. Gerard then follows it up with a rushing spear in the aisle, taking Downfall down hard against the railing. Gerard then follows that up with a series of punches to Downfall's head to weaken him down, and Gerard beats Downfall over the head with such fervor that Downfall is barely able to stay upright, even with the guardrail to hold him up! Gerard continues his relentless assault until blood starts to trickle in a river from a cut on the eyebrow of Downfall! The referee, having had enough, is counting both men out, admonishing Angelo to get in the ring!
The referee: One...
Two...
Three...
Four...
Five...
Chris Avery: I don't think we've seen the World Champ this vicious against anybody in AW, he's unleashing a torrent of punishment!Billy: You know Downfall made his name in the hardcore environments, but Gerard is doing everything he can to show he can bring that level of fight!Gerard stops dealing the punishment to go roll into the ring, but then subsequently rolls back out to restart the count. Now Gerard motions to Downfall, and goes to load up, winding his elbow and calling for a roaring elbow strike to the dazed, bloody Downfall, but as Gerard rotates in for the Heroes' Welcome, Downfall cuts him off with a strong style backfist, making Gerard stumble away, and then Downfall, letting out a ferocious yell, takes him down with a spear of his own, nothing fancy about it, just murder. The referee, rapidly getting tired of their shit, yells at both men to get back in the ring.
The referee: One...
Two...
Three...
Downfall follows it up by hurling Gerard against the guardrail like a sack of potatoes, so that Gerard is sitting in the corner intersection between two guardrail pieces, and Downfall backs up a few steps and runs in full tilt with a murderous face wash kick plowing right THROUGH Angelo's cheek and going past him into the crowd. Gerard's head bobs at all angles with whiplash effect, devastated by the kick, and Downfall, eyes blazing, unloads on him with a vicious series of punches and kicks of his own with Gerard against the railing, and doesn't stop until Gerard is also bleeding above his eyebrow.
Billy: HE AIN'T PRETTY NO MORE!!Downfall lifts Gerard up onto his shoulder as if to be preparing for a powerslam. Gerard slides down Downfall's back and kicks Downfall in the back of the knee. Gerard then pulls back on Downfall's head, slamming it down on top of his knee. Downfall lays on the outside holding his head as Gerard climbs into the ring and heads up the turnbuckle, getting the ref to stop the ring-out count. The crowd gets on their feet. Gerard jumps off in Downfall's direction with a 450 splash as cameras flash off from around the arena, only for Downfall to roll out of the way at the last second. Gerard's chest hits nothing but hard concrete as Downfall lays in the aisle. The crowd erupts into a riotous "HOLY SHIT" chant at Gerard's insane dive, and the referee is stunned for a moment, having to lean out to check on the two combatants to make sure they're breathing and not dead.
Chris Avery: I DON'T BELIEVE WHAT WE JUST SAW!!Billy: IT CERTAINLY WAS UNBELIEVABLE BECAUSE LIKE... WHY DID HE DO THAT?!Chris Avery: ANGELO IS PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS! HE WANTS NOTHING MORE THAN TO MAKE IT TO THE FINALS, REPRESENT THIS COMPANY AS THE WORLD CHAMPION!Several long seconds pass by, and the referee checks on both men, before making the decision that if they don't get up they're going to get counted out, both of them, out there in the aisle. Gerard is groaning in agony and rolling around in a circle, holding his midsection, but Downfall is stunned and shaking his head, wiping streams of blood away from his eye. Downfall looks over at Gerard, who is gritting his teeth and making it to one knee, and Downfall snarls. The referee is probably at a count of four here. Downfall rolls one arm under the apron, and the referee kicks at him, saying get your ass in here, and Downfall. Downfall grabs Gerard in a front facelock as he pulls him up to his feet. Downfall then falls back driving Gerard's head into the concrete with the lifting double arm DDT! and Downfall keeps the hold applied locking on legscissors around Gerard's body.
Chris Avery: 11th Hour! Into a submission right away! Gerard is in DEEP trouble!!Billy: But he's wrapped around him and choking him out outside the ring! You can't win out there!!Downfall wrenches Gerard's neck down a little bit more, as he has the double underhook lock pulled in tight while keeping the hold applied. Gerard tries fighting Downfall off to release the hold, but Downfall clinches on tighter and shakes Gerard from side to side to increase it's effect.
Billy: Are they both trying to get counted out here?!Chris Avery: Well you know Downfall is most comfortable when he is raining down punishment. But you don't want to get counted out and neither one advances to the finals!!Billy: Tunnel vision is like that boy's middle name! Down Tunnel Vision Fall!!Four...
Five...
Chris Avery: It doesn't take long for people to get seriously injured from a hold like this. Gerard can't take much more.Billy: Well, lucky for him he won't because Downfall probably wants this win just as much as he does.Six...
Seven...
Eight...
Downfall tosses Gerard off to the side and rolls into the ring. Downfall then rolls back out of the ring and goes back over to Gerard. Downfall raises a dazed Gerard up to his feet, and then flows behind his back and clamps on and tosses Gerard over his back with a HARSH snap dragon suplex right onto the neck that leaves Gerard's body fidgeting on the concrete. Now Downfall throws Gerard into the ring, and hungrily as a wolf, crawls in after, goes for a cover.
Chris Avery: Having done all the damage he can do out there with the Eden's Demise, Downfall is going for a cover!!The referee: One...
Two...
Three - Kickout!
Downfall curses and shoots to his feet, angrily and aggressively turning to Gerard and giving him scrapes across the cheek with his boot, before giving him a kick to the ribs. Gerard groans and rolls over, and Downfall goes to lift him up by his hair. Downfall taunts Gerard, before pointing to the crowbar in the corner and motioning that he's going to grab it. The referee blocks Downfall from walking over to the crowbar, and Downfall and the ref get in an argument. Downfall goes to grab the crowbar anyway! The referee snatches it out of his hand, and begins yelling at Downfall, telling him he isn't going to allow his shenanigans. As the referee, pissed off and done with these two honkey's shit through this match, goes to deposit the crowbar, Downfall kicks Gerard between the legs stooping him over. The ref somehow sees none of it. Stupid-ass blind ref. Downfall, snarling coldly, hammerlocks one arm of Gerard before nearly beheading him with a right-handed swing of a lariat!
Chris Avery: Babylon Burning! Shitfire!The referee looks back at Downfall, who holds his hands out, protesting innocence, and looking about as innocent as Lex Luthor steaing forty cakes.
Chris Avery: Angelo has absorbed a huge amount of punishment in the last few minutes since that ill-fated dive!Downfall pushes Gerard over for a cover...
The referee: One...
Two...
Three - Kickout!
Gerard escapes the near fall to a very loud gasp from the crowd. Downfall, red-faced, slaps the mat and yells for the ref to come on. He reaches down picking Gerard up off the mat, before delivering a forearm smash to the jaw of the Legend. Gerard spasms as if he's been shocked while he's down, and Downfall has to take several deep breaths. Downfall gets up but stumbles, clutching at his knee, which is seizing. Downfall grits through the pain, wiping the heavier flow of blood away, and he goes to lift Gerard up, but Gerard clamps onto his leg. Despite being, for all intents and purposes dead weight, Gerard refuses to let Downfall lift him up and he holds on to the leg with all of his might! Downfall pounds on the back, hitting Gerard between the shoulder blades! Gerard flinches in agony, flexing his shoulders! Downfall, overriding Gerard and muscling him up, goes to lift him again and set him on his shoulders to put him away with Godkiller, but Gerard slides off of his shoulders, Downfall turns around, and Gerard catches him with a leaping reverse STO dropping Downfall back INTO the middle turnbuckle! Downfall hits face first and flings back, and begins squirming around, holding his face as if his nose was broken!
Chris Avery: I DON'T BELIEVE IT! WHAT A COUNTER!!Billy: If I had seen that in one of Gerard's movies I would have immediately gone on a subreddit thread to bitch about how unrealistic the CGI was!!Now it's Gerard's turn to take in several gasping lungfuls of air and sell the pain he's been through, pushing himself up on all fours to try and get back in this match, as Downfall rolls around, holding a bleeding nose. Gerard forces himself to cross the distance, and scramble into a cover...
The referee: One...
Two...
Three - Kickout!
The crowd erupts, and Gerard Angelo sits up, open mouthed, in shock that he failed to secure a pinfall. Gerard slumps onto his back, rubbing his eyes in bewilderment. Downfall is just staring straight up at the lights, and both men lay down, recovering and taking deep breaths. Gerard is the first to stir as he pushes himself up off the mat and back to a vertical base. Downfall isn’t far behind as he starts to work his way to a vertical base. Gerard comes up behind Downfall where he’s able to deliver an inverted exploder suplex. Downfall is down and out yet again, and Gerry covers...
Chris Avery: Excalibur Prime! Gerard is digging deep for this one!Billy: This is THE main event! One of the greatest matches in the history of this tournament! These men are BOTH bucking to be WRESTLER OF THE YEAR!!The referee and the crowd: One...
Two...
Three - Kickout!
Gerard groans angrily in frustration, and yells for Downfall to get up, hauling him to his feet and slapping him over the head. He waits for Downfall to get up, though Downfall immediately sinks to a knee, and with blinding speed Gerard runs past him, to the ropes, coming off, and then to the ropes in front of Downfall where he springs up to the second rope, coming off, and flying backwards with his arms outstretched for a springboard cutter! Gerard catches Downfall! He starts to drag Downfall's head straight down... but Downfall counters! Downfall muscles them both up, not letting Gerard take him down with the springboard cutter, and IMMEDIATELY clamping Gerard in a rear naked choke! Gerard's eyes bug out of his head!
Chris Avery: Angelo going for the Directors Cut - NO! Downfall blocks it! Downfall locks in Anarchist Cookbook!!Downfall shakes Angelo around like a ragdoll with the quick and dirty application of the choke, making Gerard fall limp (the way Minoru Suzuki does) before he releases it and throws him to the mat with a cradle style piledriver! Now Downfall, aggressively cracks his neck to the side and stands, muscles flinching, eyes blazing, shouting for Gerard to get up, and he hauls Gerard up, calling for a second lifting double arm DDT to put Gerard's lights out... but this time Gerard spins out of it, tattoos Downfall with a rolling elbow that knocks him back into the ropes... and Downfall stumbles forward, dazed... only for Gerard to springboard up and drop in, catching his head on the way down for a cutter!
Chris Avery: And now Downfall going for the 11th Hour!!! NO! GERARD WITH THE HEROES WELCOME!... AND FOLLOWED UP BY THE DIRECTOR'S CUT!!Rather than go for a cover, Angelo motions that it's over, and stamps his foot, pacing around the ring before going into the corner. Angelo is tuning up the band, motioning for Downfall, and Downfall, bleeding from his forehead and nose and beaten down by this ferocious match, is crawling forward. Gerard rushes forward at top speed, and leaps up in the air, intending to come down with a curb stomp... But Downfall moves out of the way! Downfall grabs Gerard just as he's about to land, and hauls him up... he puts him in fireman's carry position... he starts to turn him, to drop him off his shoulders into the facebuster part of the move... But Gerard moves out of the way! Gerard falls to his feet behind Downfall. Downfall, and Gerard, both turn and face each other across half the ring... and they charge each other at the same time... lifting their legs... and letting fly with DUAL SUPERKICKS!! BOTH SUPERKICKS CATCH THE OTHER MAN IN THE FACE AT THE SAME GOD DAMN TIME!!
Both men fall backwards, both in the expenditure of energy, and because their opponent superkicked them in the face at the same time!
Both men are down, out, and not moving!!
Chris Avery: HOLLLYYYYYYYY -Billy: SHITFIREEEE!!!! -Chris Avery: WE'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING REMOTELY LIKE THIS!!The referee throws his hands up in abject "What the hell do I do now" and holds his head, leaning in to check on them both. Both Downfall and Gerard look completely out cold.
Chris Avery: Downfall with the Beast Kick! Angelo with the One Hit Wonder! Both men threw all of their energy behind one strong kick and took the other man down at the same time!!Billy: But... but this match has got to continue! One of these guys has to go to Turmoil to be in the finals!Chris Avery: I don't know if either man can even stand up!Indeed, the referee has to check to make sure both men are still breathing... it takes some time, but at length, both Downfall and Gerard start showing signs of life, breathing raggedly, red faced, but rolling over and crawling towards each other on hands and knees.
From the down position, Downfall fires a right hand at Gerard. Gerard, kneeling, returns the punch, exhaustedly, low energy. Bit by bit, both men start standing... and they start exchanging right hands. Harder. And harder. With fury. With venom. A right from Downfall. A right from Gerard. Neither man giving an inch, despite the fact that with every thrust forward they sag under the effort of throwing a punch, and with each hit the stumble back. Still, they fight their way to their feet, with the first man to rise fully getting the advantage.
Angelo hits a strike to the neck of Downfall and then a kick to Downfalls stomach! Angelo hits a forearm, another forearm and speeds it up into a third, fourth and fifth forearm! Angelo rolls down his elbow pad and swings his forearm and hits THE HEROS WELCOME!
BUT DOWNFALL EATS IT AND GRABS THE OTHER HAND OF ANGELO, TURNS HIM AROUND, SPINS HIM ONE MORE TIME INTO A HAMMERLOCK LARIAT!!
Billy: HEROS WELCOME RIGHT INTO DOWNFALLS THE 11TH HOUR!!Chris Avery: OHHHHHHH MY GOD!! AGAIN!! THEY HIT IT AGAIN!!Both of them are down on the canvas again as they stir to their feet..
Billy: THIS IS INSANE!! THIS IS INSANE!!Downfall is pulling himself up as the Champion gets to his feet and Downfall grabs Angelo from behind and has the wrist..
Billy: 11TH HOUR!EXCEPT NO! ANGELO DUCKS AND RUNS UNDER THE LARIAT AND SPRINGBOARDS INTO THE CUTTER!
Chris Avery: DIRECTORS CUT!!DOWNFALL IS ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES TRYING TO GET UP AND ANGELO BOUNCES OFF THE ROPES!!
Billy: HOLLYWOOD ENDING!DOWNFALL CATCHES ANGELO IN MIDAIR ON HIS SHOULDERS AND HITS THE GODKILLER!!
Chris Avery: GODKILLER!! WHAT THE HELL!?Billy: HE GOT HIM!! HE GOT HIM!!Downfall puts an arm over Angelo!

Chris Avery: DOWNFALL IS GOING TO THE FINALS THIS SUNDAY NIGHT! DOWNFALL JUST BEAT THE WORLD CHAMPION AND IS GOING TO FACE SPENCER ADAMS THIS SUNDAY NIGHT!Downfall kneels up and just sits on his knees as Gerald Angelo just slowly rolls over to the ropes. Downfall uses the official to stand to his feet but takes his arm back and walks over to the hard cam ropes and leans on them looking furiously out at the crowd!
Billy: DOWNFALL IS GOING TO THE FINALS IN BACK TO BACK YEARS OF TURMOIL! NEVER BEEN DONE EVER!Chris Avery: BOTH DOWNFALL AND SPENCER ARE IN THE FINALS FOR A SECOND TIME IN THEIR CAREER! THIS IS WILD!
