All In Qualifier
Odin Balfore vs. Crow McMorris
Odin Balfore vs. Crow McMorris
"Shooting Star" by Gojira hits and Odin comes out by himself and walks down the ramp very slowly. He gets into the ring and takes his sunglasses off and sets them down. He awaits in the ring.
Billy: Odin, the HEAVY in Following. My god, these guys are just on wrecking destruction tracks lately. The train never stops. Odin and Kemp have just been destroying everyone lately!
Chris Avery: This should be good!
Johnny Cash: And I heard a voice in the midst of the four beasts. And I looked, and behold: a pale horse. And his name, that sat on him, was Death. And Hell followed with him.
The arena lights cut out. The world slows until the rhythmic thud of Marilyn Manson's rendition of “God’s Gonna Cut You Down” finally arrives, joined by projected imagery on the ACTIONtron, A decomposed crow skeleton reverses time as it’s plumage returns before departing skyward. The ink black outline of a hanged man on a hill vanishes as the noose still swings. A silhouette of a modern day cowboy emerges from a dust storm that swirls around an old west graveyard , the final scene syncopating to the Murder Machine emerging on stage. Crow’s massive form is a dark, brooding monolith eclipsed by plumes of smoke, a human bulldozer bathed in pulsating light.
Still masked in shadow, Crow is joined by "The Shape" AKA the most successful manager in pro wrestling history, Vincent "Buddy" Roman. Roman's face gleams with absolute delight as Crow adjusts his taped right hand, gaining depth and detail as manager and monster begin their focused march down the steel ramp.
Adilene Floyd: Accompanied to the ring by proud grandfather and advocate Vincent "Buddy" Roman...Standing at six foot eight! Weighing in at two hundred and sixty four pounds! From Manhattan, New York, he is...DAHHH MURDAHHH MACHINNNE, CROW McMORRISSSS!
The spotlight follows a methodical Crow, his tall, muscular frame navigating around the squared circle as it billows more dry ice from beneath the ring. Crow's focused now, eager to dissect some poor hapless bastard within.
Crow leaps over the top rope and enters the ring, removing his leather vest and throwing it at the ring announcer. The Murder Machine climbs a ring post and hits a sinister crucifix pose to a MASSIVE POP. The Shape applauds his grandson at ringside as Crow soaks up the adulation of the fans for a moment before climbing down and waving his opponent on.
Both Crow and Odin stand in the ring face to face and the bell sounds!
Billy: Here we go!
Chris Avery: One of these big men is going to be in the All-In match!
Odin hits a stiff right hand! Another clubbing right hand! Crow eats both of them and kicks Odin in the gut and hits a right hand of his own before hitting the ropes and going for a move but Odin picks up Crow for a sidewalk slam and hits it in the middle of the ring! He hooks a leg but it's not even a one count as Crow is already kicking out. Both men get up and Odin hits a big boot to Crow in the face knocking Crow into the ropes where he bounces back hitting a boot to the chest of Odin! Odin yells "COME ON!!" and hits another big boot! He picks up Crow again for a second sidewalk slam! He hooks a leg!
One!
Crow kicks out and rolls out of the ring and Odin is already sliding out of the ring behind him. Crow turns around and hits Odin in the chest with a few strikes and a stomach punch! Crow rolls Odin back into the ring where Odin comes in as well and Odin is up and hits a double ax smash to the head knocking Crow back into the corner. Odin follows it up with another right hand and whips Crow into the other corner but NO its reversed and Odin is whipped into the corner! Crow comes in with a HUGE stinger splash!
Billy: Big time air time for Crow!
Odin stays put so Crow hits a second huge stinger splash!
Chris Avery: Crow getting more elevation every time he hits the move!
Crow backs himself up and hits a third stinger splash in the corner and lets Odin stumble out where Crow hits a sidewalk slam! He hooks the legs!
One!
Billy: Odin gets a shoulder up!
Chris Avery: These two big boys going at it!
They're both up where Crow hits another boot to Odins chest but Odin just eats it and snarls and delivers a big boot to Crow knocking him back bouncing him off the ropes where Odin delivers another big boot sending Crow down! Odin taunts as Crow gets up and Odin hits a pop-up powerbomb! He pins Crow!
One!
Two!
Crow kicks out!
Crow gets into the corner where Odin comes rushing in but Crow gets out of the way and Odin smashes into the turnbuckles chest first! He stays put and Crow is already running in with a running knee smash to the back of Odin!
Billy: Ohhh!
Crow turns Odin into a ripcord jumping knee sending Odin into the ropes and Crow hits a bicycle kick to the face of Odin! Odin bounces off the ropes again and Crow hits an RKO!
Chris Avery: MURDER OF CROWS!
Odin just stumbles right back up and Crow hits a second RKO!
Billy: ANOTHER MURDER OF CROWS!
Crow pins Odin!
One!
Two!
Three!
Odin kicks out but it's too late!
Billy: OH MY GOD!! CROW IS GOING TO ALL-IN!
Crow rolls out of the ring celebrating and he starts to high five some fans in the front row as Odin is in the ring frustrated and pissed off.
Chris Avery: Crow just defeated Odin and is now in another ladder match this year!
Billy: Yeah, but this one can get you a Championship opportunity at any time!
Crow is on the ramp celebrating still as Odin is furious in the ring.
We fade to a commercial.
