Well, fans, I believe we all know what time it is, and that is because we have been looking forward to this time for close to a month! In a few moments, World Champion Matt Meyhu will finally defend his title! Finally? He's been ready to defend it since day one! But noone in TXW is worthy to fight him!
Well, I don't know about that, Casey, all I know is that this is gonna be a hell of a matchup. Dark Haze didn't think he was going to ReVival, but in the end, Sadistic was mysteriously injured, and Dark Haze stepped up!
You know, whoever wins this match has a lot to worry about. Next week on Lights Out, a tournament begins to find the number one contender for TXW BattleCry, coming to Pay Per View this March.
::The lights dim as the beginning of Die Famous by Lil' Zane hits the P.A. System, and out comes Dark Haze, to receive a standing ovation from the crowd. He stands on the entrance ramp, looking around at the capacity crowd. A smile sets in on his face, and Dark Haze continues down to the ring. All this while, the three tier cage is lowering down...down..until it lightly is set around the ring. Haze grabs the steel mesh, and furiously climbs up the first cage. He climbs up the second, too, and when standing on the balcony, opens the door to the third cage and prepares to walk in. But instead, he continues climbing until he is on the top of the third cage! The lights flicker now, and instead of the regular Meyhu music, the FWF company theme hits as 'Marvolous' Matt Meyhu comes into view, followed closely by brother and current president of TXW, Mike Meyhu, sister, and commissioner, Megan Meyhu, plus TXW Vice President, the man feared by all, PoGo! We soon see that following behind a few steps is Chubbs Magoo, Justin Tense, and Mark Meyhu. Matt signals for the ring staff, and they send down a lift for him to be brought up to the ledge atop the second cage. He stares up at his opponent. Suddenly, a hurd of TXW security officials come barging out from underneath the Oval Tron. The leader of them gets in Mike's face, pointing vigorously at the entrance ramp from which they both came. With much fuss, Mike groups the FWF and angrily stomps back to the lockerroom::
Did they just bar the FWF from ringside!? That's not possible! Between them we have the entire TXW staff!
You're right, Casey. Who could have enough athority to throw those men out?
::They don't have time to finish as the bell rings and the match begins. At first, Matt wants to go inside the third cage, but taunts from above force him to grip the steel mesh and ascend even higher, to the peak of the mountain. There is not a moment's hesitation, a pause, a beat, or anything of usual. The men immediately begin to tear at each other like animals. A small time counter pops up in the bottom right hand corner of the screen, counting down to when the top cage should explode. As Meyhu comes at Dark Haze with a clothsline, the challenger ducks down and spears the world champion down, immediately after so burying some more punches into the skull of the Marvolous One. But Meyhu uses his strength to turn things around, as he socks Haze again and again. With Haze incapacitated momentarily, Meyhu gets up, and drops an elbow, but the young challenger has too much energy still, and rolls out of the way. He then rolls back on top of Meyhu and locks on a vicious chokehold. He presses Meyhu into the cage, but his arms are soon torn apart by The Marvolous One. As Haze loses his grip, Matt Meyhu nails his head into Dark Haze's, and Haze falls back. Matt runs up to leap on his opponent, but the former boxer, sticks a knee up, and Meyhu goes rolling over him, quite close to the edge of the cage. Both men get to their feet, and begin to circle around each other. Haze locks on a headlock, but Meyhu reverses it, carries his opponent back, and lays him down with a sideways backdrop. Haze gasps and Meyhu lands him a right hook in the mouth, causing blood to spurt from the mouth of the unlikely hero. As the whinded Haze gets to his knees, Meyhu runs up and kicks him in the gut. And, to add more pain to the midsection, Marvolous Matt locks on an abdominal stretch. Haze's face contorts, and he groans in pain, but refuses to let it take him down. With a desperate attempt, he kicks backwards and nails Meyhu in the groin. With a burst of adreniline, Haze swiftly takes down his opponent, then drops a hard leg upon Marvolous Matt's throat. With that, he falls back, and both men lay down for the moment. ::
This match is very fast paced...almost too much to keep up with, huh, Casey?
I have to agree with you there! It's only been seven minutes and these guys are exhausted. But if I were in this situation, I too would try to end the match early. After ten minutes, the top cage will explode, after twenty, the middle will explode, and locked in the bottom cage, which is made entirely of bamboo, Haze and Meyhu will have to fight until the cage is lit on fire after thirty minutes!
You're right. It's tough! But they seem to be handling it fine for the moment.
::Both men get up at the same time, and Meyhu goes for a weak grapple. It is broken up though, by Haze, who right hands Meyhu in the gut, locks his arm, and follows through with a hip toss. Immediately Meyhu grabs his back in pain, and with his big boot, Haze stomps him down. Now, grabbing Matt by the hair, Haze lifts the World Champion to his knees, and signals to the fans that he wants to throw Meyhu off the edge of the cage! The fans cheer wildly, and Dark Haze brings up Meyhu the full way, only to grab him by the head again, and thrust him towards the side of the cage. Meyhu skids and stops when he realizes what is going on, then turns and dropkicks Dark Haze. Haze stumbles and falls hard. Although obviously hurt, Haze gets to his feet, walking awkwardly around. He gets to the side of the cage, and turns, but only in time to catch an M-100 from the world champion, with an impact so great that it sends Dark Haze right off the cage! Haze goes flying off into the air, and is suspended as if time is going slower, but then plummets down and crashes into the hard cement in the crowd! He lies still as gaurds fight to keep fans away. Matt Meyhu on the top cage is estatic. He jumps for joy and taunts to the crowd. He is in the middle of a taunt, when suddenly, the cage explodes! It just blows up into flames, with Meyhu still ontop of it. The blow is enough to send Meyhu off the top, and down hitting his elbow on the entrance ramp. The smoke settles, and the dust clears, as the fans stare on in amazement::
Oh my god! That was hellacious! Are either of those men alive?
I don't know, but if they have died and gone to heaven, then they can die knowing that they made a fan proud! And by the fan I mean myself! Wow, that was outstanding. It's a stunt like that that makes TXW the most extreme federation out there.
Well, extreme as it is, I think this one is over. Neither man is moving. Oh wait! Wait! Matt Meyhu is up! Oh no though...he's going over to Dark Haze.
Perfect! Even more carnage! I can never get tired of this kind of treatment. How about you, Jer? Jer? Aww hell, just enjoy the match.
::Slowly, Meyhu gets to his feet and limps over to where Dark Haze lies, still unconcious. Marvolous Matt lifts up the woozy Haze, who swings wildly, but can't support his body on his legs, and soon collapses. He makes a desperate attempt up, but Matt pummels him with a clothsline. Having no real strength left, Meyhu goes down and locks on a weak sleeper. Gaining energy, Haze rolls him off, and backhands the world champion onto his back. Getting up slowly, Haze tries to walk towards the ring. His leg is very injured. Halfway back to the ring, he can't continue to stand. He gently drops to the floor, and clutches his leg in pain. But soon he takes his focus back on getting to the ring. Unable to stand, Haze uses his arms to crawl with all his might. But he comes to a roadblock at the steel gaurdrail. Finally, he tries to get to his feet. It takes great effort and balance, but he makes it up, and with the upmost caution, lifts his legs over the gaurdrail. Matt Meyhu on the other hand has recovered fully, and picks up a nearby chair. Leaping over the gaurdrail, Meyhu brings the chair down hard onto the back of Haze's head. Haze drops like a fly, and does not move. ::
Oh my!
Matt Meyhu really wants to retain his title. He is pulling every trick in the book
And Haze...Haze is hurt bad. You also have to keep in mind that Dark Haze was in one of the most brutal matches of his career last week against Eminem, and in the first fifteen minutes of this match, he has been kicked hard in the jaw, and thrown off that humongous cage! What's next?
::Matt Meyhu does not stop with one chair shot. He continues to smash in the ribcage of Dark Haze with the steel. Strangly enough, Dark Haze seems to be recovering, despite the chairshots. Meyhu notices this, and prepares a devastating shot. He raises the chair above his head, and brings it down hard. Haze quickly turns and puts up his leg out of instinct. The chair backfires into Meyhu's face, but Haze's leg is even more hurt. He won't let it get him down, as the challenger crawls closer to the ring. He reaches the outer cage and stops. He crawls around the side of the cage, until finally he finds a door. He enters and crawls over to the corner, where he pulls himself up using the turnbuckle as support. Meyhu shakes off the chairshot and gets to his feet. When he sees Haze recovering in the ring, he runs in. When Dark Haze sees the World Champion coming, though, he runs with all his strength and slams the steel door into Meyhu's face. Not expecting this attack, Marvolous Matt bounces back into the gaurdrail. As the chair he brought with him flies into the air, Dark Haze takes the opportunity to grab the chair and slam it into Matt's face once again. He delivers a knee to the gut, and grabbing the world champion's head, throws him into the cage. He then steps into the cage himself, and closes the door. He yells for the ring attendants to lock it. He then takes the chair, and runs at Meyhu, who ducks, as the chair hits the wall. ::
Maaan! Most of that cage is made of bamboo, and I don't think it's smart to lock themselves in.
Nor do I. You also have to keep in mind that in about thirteen minutes, the thing is going to ignite.
::Meyhu chops Haze in the side, then hooks him, preparing for an atomic drop. Haze though knees Meyhu's chest, and twists it around into a standing tornado DDT. Hobbling over to the corner now, Dark Haze grabs a trashcan. Meyhu is getting to his feet, and sees the trashcan coming at him. He tries to get into action, but is too dizzy. The challenger now crumples the trashcan into the world champion's skull. Meyhu drops back, but is caught by the ropes in the corner. Haze rushes up to him with a back elbow, and in the same motion locks Meyhu's head, lifting him up then and spinning him around, only to drop him to the mat with a samoan drop. Suddenly, a huge explosion is heard as the middle cage explodes. Though nobody is in that cage, it has an impact as the flames catch onto the bottom cage, setting it ablaze! Both men stop what they're doing to watch the cage they're in go up in flames, but then focus back on the match, with new panic setting in. It goes into a brawl, and Dark Haze gets the upper hand, backing Meyhu into the corner. He runs up and does a splash but with his knee. The world champion clutches down, and Dark Haze grabs him, executing a variation pumphandle drop. He lifts up Meyhu into his signature torture rack, the Token-It. But Meyhu twists around, getting loose, and hits a neckbreaker as he comes down. Both men are on the ground, but they both get up quick. Dark Haze goes over and grabs a stopsign. He lifts it up, and prepares to turn around, but Matt Meyhu comes up behind him with his signature bulldog. Meyhu backs up as Dark Haze recovers. He stretches out his right leg forward, and the fans know that he is getting ready for the M-100 Superkick. Dark Haze gets up, and Meyhu kicks at him, but Haze catches it, and spins him around, then clotheslines him down. They get to their feet boxing it out, when suddenly, the roof of the flaming bamboo cage cracks and falls down onto their heads. They are crushed, and the impact causes three of the walls to come crashing down. Everything is inflamed now, including the wrestlers themselves::
It just keeps getting more brutal! When is enough enough?
NEVER! This is one of the greatest matches I've ever seen!
Yes, I have to agree that it's up there with my favorites. Over his stay in TXW, Dark Haze has proved to us all that you don't have to be a veteran to be a warrior. The kid is 19 years old, and he's competing for the TXW World Championship! Matt Meyhu on the other hand was born into pro wrestling. Every single member of his family has something to do with it. But his cockiness is definately getting in the way here. He keeps getting into brawls with Haze, but he isn't realizing that he is trading fists with an undefeated boxer!
That is the past, Jer. Right now, we've gotta concentrate on the present. Those two men are being burned alive!
::The fourth wall of bamboo is a bit wobbly, and it poses as a threat to fall into the audience. So the arena fire time comes rushing in and sprays it down, then dismantles it. Next, despite Mike Meyhu's earlier orders, they hose down the ring, and tear the now-heavy bamboo off of it. Matt and Haze are severely burned. Matt's arm is bleeding from a burn, and Dark Haze's abodmin is raw pink with lots of blood as well. As each man struggles to stay awake, the Oval Tron flashes on, to show the FWF Lockerroom. As Mike and the rest of the FWF faction appear on screen, Matt gathers his strength to get up and see what is happening. Mike is watching the television moniter with panic, and runs over to his bag. He unzips it, and as the camera zooms in, we can see that it is his famous crowbar. He holds it in his hand, and then turns, but is face to face with Dark Haze's friend, Brandon Brokeyaoff. Brokeyaoff stands between Meyhu and the door, preventing the TXW Temp-President from interfering. As the screen fades again, Matt Meyhu on the top rope angrily cries out. Without warning, he is hit in the back by a stopsign from Dark Haze. He is thrown forward, and this gives Haze enough time to make his way up to the top rope, turn Meyhu around, and execute the Dark Haze Drop! The brainbuster knocks Meyhu completely out, and Haze crawls over him for the count. One......two.....The crowd trembles with anxiety as the ref raises his arm up.....and brings it down! THREE! The bell rings, Haze collapses from fatigue::
He did it! He did it! He has overcomed the odds, and now Hardcore Revolution member Dark Haze is finally World Champion! I just can't believe it...he's worked so hard for this championship since day one. In his second ever match, he came within inches of it. But now, he has gone the full length. Dark Haze is our new world champion.
I am not the guy's biggest fan, but I've got to congratulate him on this victory. It is not the least bit simple to become the TXW World Champion, but Dark Haze has done it.
And to think, the FWF almost interfered and cost him the match! Dark Haze owes his pal Brandon Brokeyaoff a whole lot for what he did. By the way, I wonder what happened back there?
Oh, the Oval Tron is coming on. Let's see what's going on!
