Weapons AllowedKarlie Nash vs. Mercedes Alexus Demareux vs. Andre Jenson vs. Airborne(c)
Jimmy Garcia: Welcome back to Holiday Bash and folks, it looked as if Two Gents gave up their Tag Team Championships?!Lexi Stone: I hope not! I love them as Tag Team Champions!Ethan Miller: The following is scheduled for ONE FALL, and it is a Weapons Allowed match for the AW Cruiserweight Championship!!
Jimmy Garcia: I'm excited for this one for so many reasons, Lexi Stone, this is a good time of year to remind everyone about the exciting, high-octane action we see weekly on Cruiserclash, and the stakes are high in this match!!Lexi Stone: Yeah!! (Watch Cruiserclash, we beg of you!)Ethan Miller: Introducing first..."Walk on By, Walk on By
Walk on By, Walk on By"
The crowd starts to boo, whether it's for Doja Cat or Mercedes Demareux we'll never know.
"Bitch I said what I said
I'd Rather be Famous Instead"
Ethan Miller: Making her way to the ring from Water Valley, Mississippi... weighing in at 125 pounds, she is "The Trailer Park Princess" Mercedes... Alexus... DEMAREUX!!!
From behind the curtain comes "The Trailer Park Princess" Mercedes Alexus Demareux. The crowd boo's her as she yells at them to "Shut up!" and gets in the faces of the fans as she makes her way to the ring. Her Parole Officer follows close behind her trying to maintain some order and usher her into the ring and keep the fighting in the ring and not in the stands. Once she gets to ring side she climbs the steps and onto the ring apron leaning against the ropes continuing to talk smack to the crowd as they boo her. She pulls on the ropes to test them out and paces around the ring waiting for the match to begin.
Jimmy Garcia: Here we see the two-time and FINAL AW Women's Champion, Mercedes Alexus Demareux coming to the ring, hoping to add more gold to an already impressive start in her career!
Lexi Stone: Exactly how sure are we that she isn't pawning off any gold we give her to buy some embossed knuckle jewelry that reads "Juicy" and a baggie of Fent??
Ethan Miller: And her first opponent...
"Knuckle Up" by Snowgoons blasts in the arena as Karlie steps on the stage with her back to the crowd.
Ethan Miller: Coming to you from Grand Marais Minnesota, being accompanied to the ring by Tracy Dixon and Hilda Meyer, weighing one hundred and seventy two-pounds... The PREMIERE ATHLETE... KARLIE NASH!!
Karlie walks to the ring ignoring the crowd, she climbs the ropes from the outside, and gives a thumbs down to the fans, then lowers her hood and smirks at the crowd, she steps down from the ropes inside the ring, removes her hoodie and stretches in the corner.
Jimmy Garcia: Karlie Nash is seething after losing her Women's Championship to Mercedes, and you know she wants another shot at the Cruiserweight title as well. If she completes this she will have won every belt available on Cruiserclash, that's got to be some kind of a record!
Lexi Stone: All while looking like one of the background characters on Letterkenny, that really is impressive.
Jimmy Garcia: Pitter-patter, Stone!
A deep voice booms from the PA system "In the world of the fantasy land of Kem begot a new type of warrior, one which was created from the fires of the star Elume and forged in the great battles of the third age. A warrior so daring and so brave that King Dennis the maker himself would try to destroy him and fail. This man is more than man, he is legend"
"Big Blue Dress" by Cranius begins to play as mist slowly rolls up the entrance ramp while Andre Jenson appears from behind the curtain. Andre looks around to the crowd with a huge smile, waving to both the left and right side of the ramp. He then beckons to the back and 4 other similarly clad LARPers emerge, flanking him. They look like a classic dungeon party. The big man, wearing full armour and holding a shield and sword takes position in front, while the tiny elf, dressed in green druid like clothing takes the rear, waving his staff in the air. The other two, a woman wielding a bow and a rather scary looking hairy beast wielding an axe take position either side of Jenson.
Ethan Miller: ...And their opponent, weighing in at 15.75 Kweps... ANDRE JENSEN!!
Jenson makes some waving movements with his hands and shouts something to the ceiling and they all start moving forward, seemingly satisfied.
When they get to the ring, AJ again makes some gestures and they stop, he shakes hands with each one of them, before pulling up the apron and grabbing a money pouch from under the ring. He gives each of the party a coin, and they take a defensive stance. He grins and then rolls under the bottom rope into the ring, while fishing out a couple of d20 dice and rolling them. He then nods as if acknowledging the results and shakes the referee's hand, forearm to forearm. After this, he climbs each of the middle turnbuckles in turn and looks like he casts a spell on each one of them with hand gestures and some reagents from his pouch.
Jimmy Garcia: Jenson rolled his best at Turmoil, and came up just short in his bid for the Cruiserweight Title against Airborne, but tonight, he's hoping that the chaotic melee that is going to be this fatal fourway will up his percentage!!
Lexi Stone: Oh God, I'm going to have to Google Dungeons and Dragons shit and do complicated math to be able to understand what "rolling for initiative" means to commentate this aren't I. Fuck my life.
Ethan Miller: And their opponent...
A morbidly classic air raid siren begins blare around the arena. The fans begin to rise, while the siren fades to the whistling sound of a bomb nearing it's target. Just as the whistling sound ends, a series of red colored pyros goes off around the entrance ramp! After the red rocket's go off, they leave a blanket cloud of grey, just then "Maggie's Farm' by Rage Against the Machine hits the PA system! The fans begin to cheer as among the sea of smoke stands a single silhouette. Airborne turns around, allows the smoke to pass by him, and begins to head towards the ring.
Ethan Miller: Now coming to the ring...weighing in at 175 pounds...from Detroit, Michigan...AIRBORNE!
Airborne takes a few quick moments to say hi to eager fans, like kids, but mostly keeps his focus on the ring. He jumps up on the apron, looks around at the fans and then leaps over the top rope. Airborne is beginning to feed off the energy from the crowd as he bounces around the ring corners, taking a moment in each one to leap to the second rope, raise his hands and encourage the fans to welcome him with a big time reaction!!
Jimmy Garcia: Make no mistake, the Cruiserweight champion has burst on the scene and thrilled us all with one exciting display after another.
Lexi Stone: Yeah, but he's never had a challenge like this before, his chances of winning are less than 25% and everyone is going to be gunning for him! Hard to do flippydo offense in a weapon's match where it's legal to take a bat to your fucking knees!!
Jimmy Garcia: I have to believe Airborne is willing to rise to the challenge tonight.
As the referee orders the bell rung and all four parties stand equidistant, feeling each other out. The crowd is loving this, it's been a chaotic night, and the energy is through the roof. They eye each other up, and Mercedes and Karlie square off while Jenson seeks to avenge his defeat at Turmoil and take the fight to Airborne. Over on the Mercedes-Karlie side of things, Karlie has taken the upper hand with a fury of assaulting attacks on the Trailer Park Princess. Mercedes ducks into the taller Karlie's reach and tries teeing off with right hands. Karlie shoots a sharp knee into the gut of Mercedes, doubling her over, allowing Karlie to grab a chunk full of her hair and ram her pretty face into the unforgiving turnbuckle. Things aren’t much better on the other side of the ring where Jenson is laying into Airborne with some heavy right hands. With Airborne pinned against the ring ropes, Jenson winds back for the motherload of all his punches…only to receive a hard, violent rake to the eyes that kills any and all of his momentum. Jenson stumbles into the center of the ring, attempting to aid his burning eye…but this only opens the door for Karlie who backs off of Mercedes for a moment in order to charge to the other side of the ring, connect with a running, one leg drop kick that catches Jenson square in the mouth just as he turns around, Kobashi style. Jenson falls to the mat as he attempts to stop the blood that flows from his lip. As he reaches all fours, he finds himself with no relief as Airborne sends a sharp kick into the mid-section which nearly lifts him up off of the mat. Airborne looks at Karlie, and the two competitors who have absolutely no love for each other share a look, and they both seem to come to the understanding that they need to chop some of the opposition down. With their heads turned towards lifting Jenson up, Mercedes sneaks her way to the top of the turnbuckle. Both Karlie and Airborne lift Jenson off of the mat, Irish whipping him into the ropes and looking for a double clothesline on the rebound, but Jenson ducks the double clothesline and instead greets them both with a double clothesline of his own, which sends both to the mat. Jenson, however, doesn’t receive much time to recuperate, because right after landing the move, Mercedes comes flying off of the turnbuckle with a hurricanrana that lifts him off of the mat and lands him on top of Airborne, adding more pain to the champion as well as to Jenson himself. Airborne rolls to the outside. So, in the ring, with the three that are left of Karlie, Mercedes and Jenson, the two women who like, two weeks ago fought each other tooth and nail for the Women's title exchange a look and some words of strategy, and Karlie and Mercedes lift Jenson up and punish him with a double vertical suplex. Karlie drops an elbow across Jenson's chest, then backs up as Mercedes comes in and gives him a leg drop across the throat. Jenson rolls around on the mat in pain. Karlie lifts Jenson up, applying a modified abdominal stretch so Mercedes has a clear shot at him, and Mercedes lays into Jenson's stomach with a few stiff martial arts kicks. Finally, Mercedes punishes Jenson with a knee lift to the side of the head, and Jenson flops to the mat. Mercedes goes for the pin, but Karlie immediately pulls her off. Mercedes flings her arms out and stomps her foot like a little brat, complaining that it was all fair. Karlie snarls, having heard just about as much of this as she's gonna stand from this little shit, and hurls her into the corner. Karlie turns back to Jenson, but Mercedes hops on her back and starts trying to apply a sleeper hold. Karlie flings her over his shoulder. Mercedes gets up, and Karlie takes her down with a back body drop elevating her high into the air.
Lexi Stone: Mercedes Alexus going up into the proverbial lights there!!
Jimmy Garcia: Berserk pacing for this fatal fourway, as all four of these competitors haven't even stopped to grab a weapon yet, they're just beating the stuffing out of each other!
Suddenly freed of the attack from Karlie, Jenson looks around, spotting Airborne on the outside. Jenson looks from one side of the ring, to the other, and a smile spreads across his face, and he makes a rolling the dice motion with his hand that doesn't at all look like someone jerking off, and Jenson rushes into the opposite set of ropes, before flinging himself up and over, wiping out Airborne with a suitably named spaceman plancha. The crowd erupts into an "Oooooh" Hearing the crowd explode, Karlie appears to rise to the occasion, and heads over to the ropes. Grabbing the top cable, Karlie yanks back on it, ready to springboard over... before simply releasing and taunting the crowd with an "Up yours" gesture, because Lmao Karlie Nash wouldn't do that shit. Karlie is greeted by a chorus of boos, and she waves it off, turning back to stomp the rising Mercedes in the temple. Blood coursing with fighting spirit, amongst just about every other type of spirit going, Mercedes bursts up under the barrage from Karlie, and takes a wild swing at Karlie's head. Deftly ducking the arm, Karlie secures it in a half nelson, gaining just enough leverage to heave Mercedes up, then drive her down onto her knee for the backbreaker. Mercedes slumps off, contorting and holding her back. On the outside, Jenson lifts Airborne up... trying, desperately, to get him in the ring, but the stronger champion sends Jenson violently into the steel ring steps. Airborne waits for a few moments before he goes rooting under the apron, looking for weapons.
Jimmy Garcia: Action both inside and outside of the ring, we'll follow both the best we can!
In the ring, Karlie is continuing to lay stomps to the back of Mercedes. She taunts Mercedes, yelling that she was the greatest Women's Champion of all time, before dragging Mercedes up by the hair. Spinning the Trailer Park Princess around, Karlie lifts her up for a backdrop suplex, only to again drive her down onto the knee, this time with a Blue Thunder bomb. Relentless in her rabid assault, Karlie doesn't even let Mercedes drop to the mats this time, instead rolling her over for a cover.
The referee: One... Kickout.
Outside the ring, Airborne pulls out a street sign, a Stop sign with graffiti spray painted on it "Eat Pussy". Airborne tilts his head at the vulgarity, then he looks over at Jenson, measuring her for a shot, ready to blast her right over the head with some blue language. However, As he runs up, Jenson reacts quick and kicks the defaced Stop sign right back into the jaw. Airborne crawls away from Jenson, shaking his head to clear the cobwebs. As Airborne retreats around the corner, Jenson slides through the ring to cut him off, landing a dropkick to the face as he blocks the path. Dragging Airborne up, Jenson drills Airborne with an open hand, increasing the volume of the chops he levels across Airborne's chest. He lifts the limp champion up and drapes him across the guardrail Rob Van Dam style. The fans in the front row urge on the LARPing superstar, prompting him, to turn it up a notch. With Airborne still draped back over the barrier, Jenson hops onto the apron, then springboards off the middle rope with an Asai moonsault. Crashing down across Airborne's back and shoulderblades and thus compressing him like an accordion, Jenson is sent rolling out into the fans, while a breathless Airborne slumps down onto the mats.
Jimmy Garcia: Did you see that??
Lexi Stone: HE'S A WITCH!!
Back in the ring, Karlie continues her brutal assault on the back of Mercedes, heaving the Trailer Park Princess up from a double-underhook and spinning her through into a double underhook backbreaker. Holding her spine, Mercedes slumps off, and begins crawling to the corner, only for Karlie to be there waiting for her, ready to pull her up by an arm and fiercely whip her across the ring. Mercedes's whole body ripples as she smashes against the buckles, then tries to make her escape out through the ropes. Grabbing Mercedes by the waistband, Karlie pulls her back, then places Mercedes's feet up on the middle cable. With Mercedes laying across the ropes, Karlie drops an elbow down into the small of her back, before leaping up to score a kneedrop that bends Mercedes the wrong way, pulling her down from the ropes. Rolling Demareux away from the corner, Karlie hooks the leg.
Jimmy Garcia: Karlie Nash is laying a serious mugging on Mercedes tonight, she is furious that Mercedes stole the right to be the last-ever Women's Champion from her.
The referee: One...
Two... Kickout.
The crowd is split between chanting for Jenson, and, amazingly, Mercedes. With the fans going crazy for the displays of Jenson and Mercedes, and Karlie paces around the ring, shouting "SHUT YOUR MOUTHS". Airborne drags himself up, looking like he's lost his bearings, allowing Jenson to leap off onto Airborne' shoulders for a hurricanrana. But as Jenson flings herself back, Airborne plants his feet, leaving Jenson hanging. Jenson desperately tries to sit back up, but can't manage it in time before Airborne swings him into the ring-post from a powerbomb position. Seeing Jenson weakened, Airborne tastes the blood in the water, and drags the LARPer back to his feet. Grabbing him around the waist, Airborne drives Jenson back into the ring-post, before plucking him up off the mats, spinning, then driving Jenson down with a classic spinebuster right across the freaking aisle. Kneeling above Jenson, Airborne dusts off his hands, then goes back to looking for weapons under the ring. Airborne selects a tool box and brings out a pair of pliers, clamping them down on Jenson's hand with a sickening grip, and bending his hand and wrist back far enough to make him yell.
Lexi Stone: Is this... would Airborne do this, does he usually go super hardcore??
Jimmy Garcia: HE'S BREAKING THE DICE SHAKING HAND! SO JENSEN CAN'T ROLL A HIGH PERCENTAGE!!
Lexi Stone: Sure, I'll go with that.
Back in the ring, Karlie stalks the rising Mercedes, the latter having to hold her back just to get to one knee. Relentless, Karlie shouts at her to repent, but she smacks her over the head several times, and when she goes to lift Mercedes for a jackknife powerbomb, Mercedes simply backdrops her way out of it, throwing Karlie to the mat. Karlie bangs on the mat, crawling back up holding her lower back, and a fired-up Trailer Park Princess rushes in and and hits a Superman Slap (??). Mercedes, her face clouding with rage, lifts Karlie up and whips the taller woman across the ring, charging after and nailing her with an Stinger Splash in the corner. Karlie takes a step out of the corner, and drops to her knees, stunned. Mercedes rolls to the outside and grabs herself a steel chair from the timekeeper, then grabs a second one, and a third, and a fourth, throwing them one by one over the ropes, into the ring. Mercedes stalks back into the ring and kicks the chairs into a pile, before she walks over, lifting Karlie up. She bashes her with a club to the back so hard Karlie drops to all fours, and Mercedes lifts her back up. Mercedes boots Karlie hard in the gut, lifts her up, and then runs the ropes and hits a spinning DDT out of the corner, a la Spike Dudley, spiking Karlie head first RIGHT onto the stack of chairs!!
Jimmy Garcia: DID YOU SEE THAT TRAILER PARK TWISTER!!
Lexi Stone: And Karlie Nash is just a cow being spun around for cinematic value!!
Jimmy Garcia: Spiked right into the chairs, Karlie could be out cold!
Mercedes goes to pin Karlie.
The referee: One...
Two... Airborne breaks up the count by pulling Mercedes off by the leg from outside the ring.
Mercedes looks back at Airborne and shouts at him, staring bloody murder. Karlie's still in la-la land on top of the chairs, but Mercedes picks one up, folds it closed, and then she lifts it high over her head and SMASHES it over Karlie's back. Karlie flops and rolls around, holding her back in agony.
Jimmy Garcia: Mercedes is in her pure element here in this match.
Lexi Stone: Yeah, I mean, go figure, a chick who grew up in section-eight housing is into rough stuff.
On the outside of the ring, Airborne turns back to Andre Jenson, lifting him up and slamming his head off the steel guardrail. The champion continues to beat Jenson around the ringside area, as in the ring, Mercedes holds the chair up, getting a strange mixed reaction from the crowd. She threatens to come out there and beat every one of them with the chair. She looks around, trying to lock on to Karlie again, to make her more chair than woman. But as she gets up, she sees Karlie scrabbling to pick up one of the other bevy of chairs she introduced. Mercedes runs at Karlie, trying to swing a chair at her. Karlie lifts a chair up just in time and swings it counter to Mercedes. The two chairs smack each other very hard, causing a loud clang that echoes throughout the arena. Both competitors hold their hands and vibrate them a little, stunned, and drop their chairs. Mercedes snarls at Karlie as she looks over at her... she charges, and Karlie sidesteps and gives Mercedes a drop toehold. Mercedes hits hard as she falls, mouth first on to the stack of chairs she left... as she lifts her head up, holding her mouth in pain from getting her lips busted, Karlie comes in and legs drops the back of her head, smashing her face first into the steel chairs again! Not wasting a breath, Karlie drags Mercedes up and drops her with a jackknife powerbomb.
Jimmy Garcia: SUDDEN IMPACT TO MERCEDES! IS KARLIE CLOSING IN??
Lexi Stone: The champion Airborne is way the hell away from the ring at the moment, he might have screwed himself out of his own title defense!!
Karlie pins Mercedes...
The referee: One...
Two... Kickout.
Karlie shouts and slaps the mat, then takes a calculating look at where her opposition is. On the outside, Jenson is pulling himself up, on the guardrail. Airborne waits for a few more moments before charging her, but Jenson quickly is able to backdrop and throw him over his shoulder, sending Airborne spilling into the aisle. Back in the ring, Karlie rains down stomps to the small of Mercedes back, before slapping her right knee for show, then bouncing off the ropes. As Karlie hits the ropes, Jenson casually grabs her around the left foot, sending Karlie crashing down face-first into the mat. The crowd cheer as a smirking Jenson watches Karlie stagger up, only to be mowed down by a big boot from Mercedes. Grabbing her back, Mercedes rests against the ropes for a moment as Jenson slithers back into the ring. Jenson and the Trailer Park Princess shoot a glare at one another...but a rising Karlie is enough for them to live only for the present. With an all-telling nod from each, they set about Karlie, Mercedes mowing him down with a stiff right hand, sending him pingponging to the other side, before Jenson rubs salt into the wound with a European uppercut. Cheers continue to be hurled at the ring as Jenson drags Karlie up, mocking her with a slap to the face... which triggers Karlie's reflex action, and she nails Jenson with a backfist. Acting quickly, Jenson kicks her in the ribs, then pushes her into Mercedes, who almost caves Karlie's skull in with a bionic elbow. Mercedes goes for a cover...
The referee: One...
Two... Jenson breaks it up!
The alliance dying before it even got started, Jenson and Mercedes get to their feet, heatedly going nose to nose. Not wasting any time, Mercedes throws a punch at Jenson, who stumbles back a bit before throwing a punch of her own. Now an Mercedes punch, now a Jenson punch, now an Mercedes punch, now a Jenson punch, back and forth they trade blows, and then they turn around and AIRBORNE COMES OFF THE TOP ROPE WITH A TWISTING CROSSBODY THAT TAKES THEM BOTH DOWN!! Airborne kips up to his feet, and he runs and hits a standing shooting star on Jenson just to get one last shot in. He hooks the leg on Jenson.
The referee: One...
Two...
Thr- Mercedes breaks it up!
Mercedes kicks Airborne out of the way, greedily going to pick up Jenson. She gets cut off by an uppercut. Jenson whips Mercedes to the ropes. She catches herself on the ropes as she approaches and stops herself. Jenson comes running at her. Mercedes drops down at the last second, pulling down the top rope, and sending the charging Jenson flying over the top rope to the outside. Mercedes waits for a moment, then as he pulls himself up she uses the ropes to slingshot herself over for a suicide dive, taking him down. The crowd pops. Mercedes is pulling herself to her feet. She goes to lift Jenson up, but then Jenson grabs her by the hair and yanks her down with force onto the concrete floor on the back of her head. He snarls in anger down at her. He begins peeling back a section of the mat, exposing the concrete. He looks down at Mercedes, telling her it's all over, as he lifts her up and hooks her in position for a brainbuster onto the concrete. He lifts her up in the air for the suplex, about to drop her onto the concrete, but Airborne, scaling the ropes, comes down with a DIVING DOUBLE KNEE METEORA ON TOP OF Jenson while he's holding Mercedes upside down, causing both Jenson and Mercedes to crash into the concrete with force!!
Jimmy Garcia: DID YOU JUST SEE THAT??
Lexi Stone: Human highlight reel lookin mf!!
Airborne is holding his leg in pain after that spot, but all three competitors are down on the aisle. Gingerly, Airborne starts pulling himself up, and he pulls the apron back, pulling out a ladder! Airborne motions for Jenson to get up, and Jenson does, holding his head... and Airborne turns, holding the ladder like a battering ram, and SWINGS IT into Jenson's head, knocking him end over end! Then, Mercedes, grimacing in pain and checking her head for blood, turns, and she eats a shot with the seat of the ladder! Airborne turns from one side of the aisle to the next, holding the ladder in both hands, and seeing that he's laid waste to Jenson and Mercedes with the ladder... and then Karlie Nash comes roaring in with a wrecking ball dropkick through the ropes, crashing the hard way into the ladder and booting it into Airborne's face! The ladder goes flying, and Airborne falls back, stunned! Karlie slides to the outside, holding her hands up! Karlie Nash picks up the ladder, teases as if she would set it up in the aisle and hit a high flying move with it, then she laughs that off. She lifts the ladder high over her head and DUMPS IT right across the back of Airborne! Airborne groans in agony. Now, Karlie goes over to the apron and pulls out a special she had in mind, a metal hockey stick! Karlie clacks the stick on the mat as if she's lining up for a penalty shot for a moment. And she lines up on Mercedes, getting ready to hit a hell of a slap shot off of her head with the hockey stick. Mercedes sees Karlie lifting her heavy, custom hockey stick up, and aiming it at her head. Mercedes shoots forward, and Karlie swings but the arc of the swing wooshes over Mercedes' head, and the crowd goes wild. Karlie rights herself after being spun around, stumbling like she's drunk. Mercedes pulls herself up on the apron. Mercedes looks over at Karlie, who's stumbled towards the announcer's table. Mercedes runs towards her. Karlie sees her coming and gives her a flapjack that throws her across the table.
Jimmy Garcia: LOOKOUT!
Lexi Stone: (In the squeakiest voice imaginable): I'M A HEMOPHILIAC!!
Karlie snarls and begins throwing things like papers and the border of the table, ripping up TV monitors and wires, and when the table is clear, Karlie gets up onto the table, pulling a dazed Mercedes up with her. Mercedes offers no resistance, but Karlie ruthlessly picks her in position in a double underhook and delivers a piledriver RIGHT INTO THE TABLE!! Both of them are laid out on the table, which, miraculously didn't break. The referees come checking on both of them. Karlie sits up after a few moments. The crowd is building a huge "HOLY SHIT" chant at both the hard hitting move and the enduring table. Karlie rolls off the table, stumbling to her feet. Mercedes is laid out, clutching her neck, still on the table. Both announcers have come back around to the vicinity of the ruined table.
Jimmy Garcia: Well, Lexi, first of all, I'm glad to see everything still in one piece.
Lexi Stone: Yeah, definitely, hey, please don't tell anybody I screamed like that, cool?
Jimmy Garcia: ....Ssssure. - But something serious is happening right here, as Mercedes hasn't moved since taking the Upper Body Injury onto our announce table.
Lexi Stone: What a time for it to pull out an "I Am The Table" spot of resistance, but the way Mercedes is gripping at her neck, I don't think she can say the same.
An EMT comes down to ringside, pushing a stretcher to load Mercedes onto. Mercedes is helped onto the stretcher, and she looks absolutely heartbroken as she holds her neck. Karlie, stumbling, rests against the apron, trying to gather her breath. In the meantime, both Jenson and Airborne have started getting to their feet, Airborne pushing the ladder off of his back. Karlie retrieves the metal hockey stick, and she walks around the ring, staring at both men. Karlie, a twisted grin, points the hockey stick at the stretcher, then at Airborne. Airborne holds his arms out, saying for her to come gets some. However, the opportunistic Jenson hits Airborne from behind. Jenson kicks Airborne in the kneecap, making the bigger man stagger to one knee, and then he goes for the Natural 20 but Airborne pushes him off. Sent flying forward, Jenson's head collides with Karlie's jaw, causing the Premier Athlete to stagger backwards and hang on the apron, dazed. Seizing his moment, Airborne musters every bit of strength left in his body and drills Jenson with a rushing knee strike to the temple, collapsing on top of him. Then, Airborne seems to get an idea. He pushes himself up on his elbows, and he picks the ladder up again. He places the ladder horizontal like a bridge between the apron and the security guardrail, and turns to Karlie Nash. He clubs Karlie over the back of the head and viciously slams her head off the apron a number of times until she doesn't resist, and he takes her over in a facelock to his ladder platform in the aisle, and hoists her up onto it. Then, taking a second to gauge where Jenson is (still down) Airborne goes to the apron and pulls out ANOTHER LADDER, and he slides it into the ring! Karlie is still dazed and laying on the ladder bridge between apron and guardrail as Airborne unsnaps the ladder, and sets it up, judging the distance he'll need to go and clear, and he sets it up in the middle of the ring. The crowd is buzzing in anticipation, not knowing what he's going to do.
Jimmy Garcia: Airborne is climbing a ladder in the ring, but he keeps looking back at that ladder he's placed Karlie Nash on... oh no, you don't think he'd -??
Lexi Stone: He's got something insane in mind! You gotta go big, the Cruiserweight title is on the line!!
Rung by rung, Airborne climbs up, still pausing to take a look back at Karlie laid out on the ladder platform between the aisle, and to judge his timing, but also selling fatigue as he keeps climbing. He drags himself up one step at a time, until he finally gets to a spot at the top, and sets himself. He crosses himself like he's making a prayer, and seems to be setting himself up to moonsault off the standing ladder ACROSS Karlie Nash on the ladder bridge... But suddenly, Andre Jenson comes up on the other side of the ladder, and he grabs Airborne's head and bounces it off the top of the ladder! Airborne, stunned, slumps a little bit, and Jenson grabs his head in a facelock... and then... the crowd rising in awe at this spectacle, Jenson SUPLEXES Airborne, lifting him up on the top step of the ladder, which begins to sway and tip from under them... and Jenson TAKES THEM BOTH OFF THE LADDER WITH A SUPLEX CUTTER! JENSON SUPLEX CUTTERS THEM OFF THE TOP OF THE LADDER OUT INTO THE AIR!
AND JENSON CUTTERS AIRBORNE OVER THE TOP ROPE, THROUGH THE LADDER PLATFORM THAT KARLIE WAS STILL ON!!
THE CROWD ERUPTS IN THE MOST STENTORIAN ROAR OF "HOLY SHIT" YOU'VE EVER HEARD!!
Jimmy Garcia: NAT 20!! NAT 20 OFF OF THE TOP OF ONE LADDER ALL THE WAY INTO THE AISLE!! THEY CRASHED THROUGH THE SECOND LADDER!
Lexi Stone: HOLY FUCKING SHIT, JENSON JUST TOOK AIRBORNE THROUGH KARLIE NASH AND A LADDER!!
So the ladder platform that was in between the apron and the guardrail caved in, and Karlie Nash and Airborne are slumped over each other in what amounts to a V-shaped twisted wreckage of a ladder. Andre Jenson is contorting and writhing in pain because he hit the concrete the hard way on the way down. The crowd is stomping to the rafter and chanting "HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT, HOLY SHIT", and the referee is selling this with absolute shock and leaning out, very concerned, because for all he knows, these dudes could be fucking dead and not moving.
Jimmy Garcia: We've seen Mercedes, Jenson, Karlie, all of them have given it their all tonight and may have come away injured! They're putting everything on the line to be Cruiserweight Champion going in to this new year!
Jenson is starting to stir, and he has to take several long moments to crawl over, his body wracked with pain. Moving sluggishly, he pushes Airborne's body off to the mats. He scoops Karlie Nash out and drags her over to roll her in the ring, grimacing in pain as he slowly rolls in. He crawls over and drapes an arm over Karlie...
The referee: One...
Two...
Three - Airborne desperately dives in and breaks it up!!
Jenson slumps off, and Airborne, groaning and holding his ribs, tries to sit up but he can't. Both men slowly sit up, facing each other... and begin exchanging stinging slaps to the face! Airborne, firing up, shouting you won't take this from me! He slaps Jenson in the face! Jenson shouts that he's been fighting for this! He slaps Airborne in the face! The two soldiers, bleeding, bruised and battered, begin putting fatigue aside to start rising up, slapping each other harder and harder! Getting fired tf up! Jenson fires away with right hands, backing Airborne into the ropes... he goes to irish whip Airborne, going for a pop-up powerbomb... but NO! Airborne begins pounding on his head, making Jenson stagger over towards the ropes with Airborne on his shoulders. When they get to the ropes, Airborne performs a sort of hurricanrana, pulling Jenson down throat first across the top rope. Jenson staggers away, holding his throat, and then he drops to his knees. Airborne springs off the ropes and takes him down with a tornado DDT. Jenson is staring straight up at the lights. Airborne, riding the momentum, runs to the corner, hops up to the middle rope, flies off with one moonsault, then he runs to the opposite corner, hops up to the middle rope, flies off with a second moonsault!!
Jimmy Garcia: LOOK AT THE HEART OF THE CHAMPION! PUSHING PAST EVERYTHING! PUSHING PAST THE PAIN TO DISH OUT THESE MOONSAULTS!
Lexi Stone: I THINK THE NAME FOR IT MAY BE INSENSITIVE IN THIS CURRENT POLITICAL SITUATION WE'VE GOT GOING ON BUT IT'S A SOLID MOVE!!

Thre-
Karlie breaks it up by VIOLENTLY smashing Airborne across the back of the head with the hockey stick! The crowd gives an "Oooooooh!" Airborne holds the back of his head which begins gushing blood. Airborne also looks hurt, as he tries to get to his feet.
Jimmy Garcia: NOOOO, A COSTLY MISTAKE FROM AIRBORNE!Lexi Stone: He didn't keep Karlie and that sick-looking hockey stick in his sights!Airborne tries to make it to his feet, as Karlie measures him for another shot. Karlie grips the bat in both hands, and Airborne wobbles slightly as he approximates a vertical position, only for Karlie to give him another ripping, bludgeoning shot across the bow, right in the midsection as she runs through him. Airborne doubles over, holding his gut. Airborne groans in agony. Karlie then turns around and bashes the butt of the hockey stick very hard against the champion's temple, dropping him. Karlie gives him a few more shots with the stick while he's down. Karlie holds her hands up, celebrating, and then she turns around, right into a nasty V-Trigger from Jenson!!
Jimmy Garcia: PRESTIDIGITATION TO KARLIE!! NOW KARLIE IS DOWN!Lexi Stone: And just after she earned five minute in the box for high sticking, and Airborne a night in the concussion ward!Jenson pins Karlie, face red and winded.
The referee and the crowd: One...
Two...
Three - KICKOUT!!
The crowd erupts in a huge "THIS IS AWESOME" chant as an exhausted Jenson painfully grimaces and holds his neck, still not having recovered from the suplex cutter off the ladder. Airborne probably knows how he feels. Both men are down, and trying to pull themselves up.
Airborne gets to his feet as does Jenson and Airborne jumps into the air BUT JENSON CHARGES AND HITS THE BLAZING KNEE!!
