Hardkore World Title Holders

[~Hardkore Jonnie Valentine~]

Guillermo O'Bannon: Now coming up is that match for the Hardkore West Coast title. Big Bad Bill defends that title against "Nasty" Ned Chambers. Ned & Bill wrestled to a time limit draw at a house show in Reno, Ned reversed Bill's Dis-Locator into the Divine DDT.

Phil Blauer: And at four D's, that's more than any other reversal in Hardkore History.

Guillermo O'Bannon: Bill's a big guy, but Ned's a whole lot bigger. One wonders if Bill's kicks will be able to chop him down to side or if it'll just bounce off the giant.

("Love Train" by Big & Rich hits the Thomas & Mack Center as a light starts glowing from the entrance way to the point were the only thing you see is a silhouette of a man standing in the entrance way. "Nasty" appears on the Hardkore Tron followed by "Ned" followed by "Chambers". Ned walks out from the light to multi-colored pryo. Then he walks calmly to the ring)

Guillermo O'Bannon: See that? Those multi-colored pyros don't phase him. He just brushes that shit off.

Phil Blauer: Wow...

Guillermo O'Bannon: Ned has never held a title throughout his career in his career in HPWA, Ring Syndicate, or IWA.

Phil Blauer: My sources tell me NO Ned has ever won a title ever.

Guillermo O'Bannon: Who are your sources?

former prowrestling.com internet reporter Matt Boone: Yo!

Yolanda Ando: Ned's got some plain black leather pants on.

"Wild" Bill Kasal: "The following match is scheduled for one fall, with a 30 minute time limit, and it is for the HARDKORE WEST COAST TITLE. Your referee is Mike Peters. Featuring first, from Mason City, Iowa; Standing 6 feet 11 inches tall; Weighing 295 pounds...'NASTY' NED CHAMBERS!!!"

(Fans give him a polite reaction. Then "Headless Children" by WASP theme begins. Smoke fills the entrance ramp and ‘black lights’ cause a purplish glow as they flicker in the background. When the main guitar riff hits, Big Bad Bill appears through the smoke with the Hardkore West Coast Championship wrapped around his waist)

Guillermo O'Bannon: In LA, Bill teams with Rally in the first round of the Hardkore World Tag Team Title Tournament. His opponents will be Hardkore America Champion Robert Hunglestien III & Hero, The Un-Stable. And they don't even know what kind of match until moments before.

Phil Blauer: The Un-Stable will be without one of their members, Cobryn. You wonder what kinda foundation they'll have?

Yolanda Ando: Bill not in the tag team tournament, as he doesn't work well with others. He wears indigo cotton pants with black boots that go to mid-shin. Black belt & indigo tank top with a pair of black weight-lifting gloves.

"Wild" Bill Kasal: "And his opponent, from Asbury Park, New Jersey; Standing 6 feet 5 inches tall; Weighing 235 pounds; He is The Current HARDKORE WEST COAST CHAMPION...BIG BAD BILL!!!"

(Bill gets a round of applause. Then "Organ Donor" by DJ Shadow plays and the Las Vegas fans cheer. Hardkore Jonnie Valentine comes down to the ring)

Guillermo O'Baznnon: Jonnie coming down to the ring, what could he want?

Phil Blauer: Monitors are pretty shitty in the back. Maybe he actually wants to see this match.

(Hardkore Jonnie Valentine steps into the ring and takes the microphone away from Bill Kasal)

Hardkore Jonnie Valentine: "In Reno, I showed one and all that this tournament means you have to be ready at all times for your tournament match. Now tonight, Bill your going to have more than just your title on the line. Cause tonight, Bill & Ned, your road to the Hardkore World title begins tonight."

(Ned nods at Valentine and gets clocked by a right hand by Big Bad Bill. Mike Peters signals for the bell)

Guillermo O'Bannon: This match is tonight's tournament match, and Bill taking it to Chambers. Bill punches fast and strong with a rhythm, allowing him to confuse Ned with multiple punches to various areas of the body!

(Bill then goes downstairs with a swift kick to Ned's shins. When Chambers reels forward in pain, Bill puts him down on one knee with a hard kick to the face. Bill then bounces into the ropes)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Big Bad Bill with an axe kick to the back of Ned's head! Bill bounces into the ropes again and kneedrops Chambers across the head.

(Bill applies an iron claw to Ned's face. Bill presses down on Chambers' temples with one hand and presses down on his own palm to keep Ned on the mat)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Ned reaches up and grabs Bill by the throat, and stands up to his feet. Ned scoops him up and walks him over to the corner. He drops Bill's face on the turnbuckle, then holds on to him on his shoulder. Chambers runs to the center of the ring and powerslams him!

Referee Mike Peters: 1...(Big Bad Bill Kicks out)

(Ned pulls Bill up and irish whips him into the ropes. Bill comes back, and ducks under a big boot with a punch to Ned's ankle)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Big Bad Bill chicken wings Ned's arm, sitting on the mat in a reverse hammerlock. Bill already going to the arm for The Dis-Locator. Bill cinches in the chicken wing with a pressure point on Chambers' shoulder.

(Mike Peters checks in but Ned refuses to tap. Bill plants his feet and pulls up on Chambers' hammerlocked arm. Bill then changes it up into a crossface chicken wing)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Bill has Ned facedown on the mat in that crossface chicken wing, neutralizing Chambers' size advantage. Bill drives a couple of knees into Ned's ribs, sweetening the deal. This match becoming so much more important when Jonnie announced it's Bill and Ned's chance to get into the second round of the Hardkore World Heavyweight Title Tournament.

(Ned growls out refusals to tap, while Bill pulls up on Chambers' arm and back on his head. Ned switches it up into a facelock, sitting down facing Ned)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Bill attempting to choke out the big man, in a sitting front facelock. Bill then scrambles into an on-the-mat variation with himself on top of Ned's back. Ned gets to his feet but Bill maintains the front facelock. Ned backdrops out of it!

(Ned rocks Bill in the midsection with a spear! Chambers then pulls Bill up on his shoulder into an argentinean backbreaker)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Ned aims Bill's head towards the ground and drops him into a piledriver!!

Referee Mike Peters: 1...2...(Bill kicks out)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Ned waits for Bill to get up and hits him with a lou thez press, but Bill catches him and drops his throat on the top rope! Bill drops Chambers to the mat with a leg sweep then hangs on to lock a scissor hold around Ned’s chest with a keylock to his arm!

Phil Blauer: Bill continuing to work on Chambers' arm & shoulder.

(Mike Peters checks in but Chambers waves him off. Bill constricts Ned's breathing with those trunk-like legs and cranes his aching arm. Ned will not submit, so Bill releases the leg scissors and applies a reverse armbar)

Phil Blauer: This the strategy that dislocated Cobryn's shoulder and won the West Coast title for him. Could it be the way he advances to the second round of the Hardkore World Title Tournament?

Guillermo O'Bannon: Bill pulls up on Chambers right arm while applying a pressure point hold to Ned's neck to increase the torture. Ned works his way up to one knee, so Bill further clamps down on the arm harder. Ned works his way up to his feet, so Bill chops him hard across the chest.

(Las Vegas fans "Woooo", and Ned gets a louder Woo with a second chop. Bill hops onto the second rope, then hops backward into a swinging kick, knocking Ned to the mat and getting some applause)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Bill runs into the ropes and wraps his legs around Ned's head and goes for a leg scissors takedown but the big man holds onto Bill's legs and reverses it into a spinning powerbomb!!

Referee Mike Peters: 1...2...(Big Bad Bill kicks out)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Ned hangs onto Bills legs & hands and pulls him back up into a second HEADspinner powerbomb!!

Referee Mike Peters: 1...2...(Big Bad Bill rolls his shoulder up)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Ned trying not only to win the West Coast title but advance to the quarterfinals of the Hardkore World Heavyweight Title Tournament with a third HEADspinner bomb!!

Referee Mike Peters: 1...2..thr...(Bill rolls up into a cradle on Ned)

Referee Mike Peters: 1...2...(Ned Chambers kicks out)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Ned presses Bill high over his head and dumps him down on the mat! Bill full nelsons Bill, could we be seeing the Divine DDT?

(Bill drops down to the mat to slip out of the full nelson then slides underneath Ned's legs behind him. He then side-steps Chambers and grabs his arms from behind in a reverse hammer-lock. He then pushes Ned forward, while placing his feet in front of Chambers, so that Ned is forced to bend at a ninety-degree angle at the waist)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Bill then slides Ned's up into his elbows and pushes down on his back into The Dis-Locator!!! Bill returns the favor and reverses The Divine DDT into The Dis-Locator!

(The fans are cheering wildly! Bill pulls down on the Dis-Locator as Ned screams out refusals to quit)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Ned has more to think about than just losing a West Coast title shot. If he quits, he's eliminated from the Hardkore World Heavyweight Title Tournament!!

(Bill gives a final heave in The Dis-Locator and Bill must submit! The bell rings as Nedfalls to the mat clutching his shoulder. Mike Peters makes the "X" signal)

Guillermo O'Bannon: And "Nasty" Ned Chambers is the next victim of The Dis-Locator!

("Headless Children" by WASP plays and Big Bad Bill celebrates with his West Coast Championship. Peters, Ron Reid, and The Thomas & Mack Center medical personnel attend to Chambers, trying to stabilize his injured shoulder)

"Wild" Bill Kasal: "At 12 minutes 14 seconds; THE WINNER OF THE MATCH, ADVANCING TO THE SECOND ROUND OF THE HARDKORE WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT TITLE TOURNAMENT, AND STILL HARDKORE WEST COAST CHAMPION...BIG BAD BILL!!!"

Guillermo O'bannon: Bill protects his title reign and now is off to LA where he and Rally jackson take on The Un-Stable in anything from a Marathon Match to a Scaffold Match.

Phil Blauer: Looks like Ned's off to the emergency ward.

[Revolution]

The scene fades in with a long legged rooming standing in the middle of the locker room with a video tape in hand. She looks over at her investment and smiles with deceitful eyes.

Rain: I believe this video will show everyone what you’re about and why we’ve come here to face the very best the world has to offer.

Rain slides the video tape in the vcr and sits back proud of her production work.


In The Year Of The Wolf,
all the world smelled good,
In the snow and the ice,
all the rest was blood,
In the time of the tribe,
we took a thousand lives,
When I ran with the wolves,
and the hunting was good,

Video footage shows a bloody right claw swiping at the screen, leaving the name Lonewolf McNeely shown dripping in blood with the sound of thunder and howling in the background.

See me now, I was another,
Not like me, when the wolves were brothers,
See me now, you cannot know,
The kind of food that me grow

Lonewolf McNeely executes a corkscrew legdrop on Handy Andy.

It was the wolf in me,
Body and soul on fire,
In the cold, full moon,
Blood, red, desire

McNeely showing no mercy, and lifts Handy Andy high over his head in a gorilla press, spins him around and drops him into a diamond cutter! ( No Human Contact )

It was the wolf in me,
You know it felt so true,
The night I ran with the wolves,
Tonight I come for you,

Lonewolf lifts Jinn high over his head with a gorilla press, spins around and drops Jinn into a diamond cutter ( No Human Contact )


n The Year Of The Wolf,
how could you ever know,
There in the forest,
I had teeth to show,

Lonewolf McNeely climbs to the top rope and executes a corkscrew legdrop on Sam Piltdown

In a different time,
when the world was mine,
When I ran as a wolf,
and the sun burned low

Lonewolf with a shining wizard that he refers to as the flesh cut mate, and now he drills Sam with a spinning pump handle slam, unbelievable mate!

Lonewolf locks Sam in a chicken wing, then picks him up, holding onto the chicken wing and nails him with a sitting chicken wing piledriver

See me now, I was another,
Mean and vicious, fast and clever,
see me now, you would not dream,
The food I ate, the food that screamed,

Lonewolf grabs the tights of Syberus, and pulls him forward, sending him through the ropes to the outside. Lonewolf then bounces of the ropes and launches himself over the top rope with a corkscrew plancha

It was the wolf in me,
And all my soul was fire,
By the cold, dull moon,
Blood, red, desire,

Lonewolf just blew some sort of coloured mist into the eyes of Syberus, and Syberus is blinded! Syberus still rubbing his eyes, he cant see a thing ... Lonewolf lifts him up overhead in a gorilla press, and then spins him around, rocking his world with a spinning diamond cutter .... the No Human Contact

It was the wolf in me,
I howled the cold night through,
The year I ran as a wolf,
Tonight the food is you

Shot of Lonewolf grabbing Vulcan and nailing him with the No Human Contact ... a gorilla press into a spinning dropping diamond cutter.

In The Year Of The Wolf,
all the tribe ran mad,
On the frozen lake,
and I felt so glad

Shot of Lonewolf hooking Sly Fondell in a inverted figure four ... and RH3 then moving up and locking on a Steiner recliner at the same time.

With tooth and claw,
all your blood and more,
When I ran with the wolves,
and the hunt turned bad


Lonewolf with big Nasty Ned Chambers and he nails an exploder suplex on Ned.

Lonewolf then drills Ned with the (Lights out - Sitting chicken wing piledriver

See me now, this is not me,
Not like the one, I used to be,
See me now, you would not guess,
A different heart raving in my chest

Lonewolf just nailed Soutter right in the gut with the Peacemaker and he’s got a smile on his face as Dracon is standing outside the ring applauding.

It was the wolf in me,
When the world was cold,
It was the life I lived,
In the dark world below,
It was the wolf in me,
Crying and howling too,
I was crying for the hunt,
But I was hunting for you.

A vivid still frame shot of Lonewolf with a chain wrapped around his neck is shown pointing at the screen with shots of lightning behind him. A vicious smile is shown by Lonewolf as the camera fades to black.

Rain: Get ready for the year of the Wolf my friends, like him, hate him or disrespect him that’s fine with me. We’ll just beat the respect out of you then. We’re here to face the best and end careers, titles are nice but making a name and striking fear in Lonewolfs opponent is much more important.

Scene fades out.

[Extremist]

(Scene opens as Tony Thunder is standing outside the Thomas and Mack Center)

Tony: Well, we will see if the Tigerheart will have the heart to show his miserable face and be ready for a huge beat down by yours truly.

(A valet shows up with a cup of coins)

Tony: Perhaps, I will have to head to the strip to press my luck some more, heck, this dude here, oops, I mean person works part-time over at Bally's so, he knows my winning streak already. But....

(Pushes the cup away)

Tony: Nope! I won't play like Rally Jackson like he plays around Tito but, that is how he swings, me, I am taking this match so very serious and after he stairs up at the light after getting pinned, he will learn just like the rest. Beware of the Extremist!!

(Reaches into his pocket)

Tony: But, if he don't show well, I might have to find a slot around here somewhere. They must have one, they have them at all the conveinence stores all over this town.

(Starts to walk back inside as the scene fades out)

[The Heel]

Cobryn: Pssst. Tony... You already wrassled.

[~Syberus~]

Syberus: Psst, Lonewolf, you know Soutter doesn't run this joint, right?

[Extremist]

Thanks, I did not see the first page, I hope they can delete my post

[~Hardkore Jonnie Valentine~]

Guillermo O'Bannon: And now coming up The Shootfighter's first Hardkore America Title Match in a decade...

(Simon & Garfunkle's "Sounds of Silence" plays as we see footage of all of The Shootfighter's near misses. One of him missing a singapore cane shot on Thunder Kid and being dropped with a Thunder Bomb. Tarrasque breaking out of The Shoot Crab and ending the match with The Rise of The Feminine Side, etc.)

Phil Blauer: It's the stuff after that shot of Tarrasque that really pulls at the ol' heart strings.

Guillermo O'Bannon: I heard that. (wipes the tear from his cheek) But now with 10 years under his belt, The Shootfighter says he is prepared to take the title that has eluded him all these years.

Phil Blauer: Like me with that Oriental girl working at Spencer's gifts.

(Fans boo loudly as Blak Lung walks down the aisle)

Phil Blauer: What?? What?? Ok, the ASIAN girl working at Spencer's gifts.

Guillermo O'Bannon: No Phil, I think they're booing Blak Lung coming down to the ring here.

Phil Blauer: That guy's stealing my heat!!

Guillermo O'Bannon: You have no heat, Phil.

Phil Blauer: No?

Guillermo O'Bannon: Bloody Martyr has more. Hello, Blak Lung.

Phil Blauer: Can I call you Blakky? (Guillermo glares at Phil) What?

Blak Lung: A name is a name is a name, like the ring from a bell my name strikes with the vengence of an unborn child left to die before it is born.

Guillermo O'Bannon: Dude, you are NOT calling him Blakky.

Phil Blauer: Why? Blakkie doesn't care, do you Blakky?

Blak Lung: Say what you wish, Phil Blauer.

(The Theme from Mortal Kombat from The Immortals plays and the audience boos. The Shootfighter stalks ringside followed by Judge Death)

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter looking in the best shape of his career.

Phil Blauer: Your looking at a guy...(slides away from Guillermo, then eyes Blak Lung) So how's parole going? (to Guillermo) See? I'm a people person. (looks back at Blak Lung) So you wanna go start a fight at an awards show?

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter wrestled two matches of the year this year against Soutter in San Diego and in Denver against Big Bad Bill. They both got alot of votes in the 2004 RSPWF poll.

Phil Blauer: I was a little miffed I didn't get more for Cruiserweight of the Year. Just that one from Jay cause he couldn't remember Andrew Sinclair's name.

Guillermo O'Bannon: But you deserve you, keeping the weight off like you do.

Phil Blauer: I didn't think anybody noticed.

Yolanda Ando: (waving) Hey!! Hello? Ms. Lost 10 Pounds-of-Holiday-Chub over here?

Phil Blauer: Barfin it up don't count, honey.

Yolanda Ando: (puts up her palm) Anyways, The Shootfighter wears some knee length black wrestling tights, black wrestling boots, sharp studded forearm pads and a tight black robe with a red dragon on the back and wields a stainless steel singapore cane. Judge Death wears a Salem witch trial style wig & robe, a gargoyles mask and black boots & wields a cane with a gargoyles head on it.

Blak Lung: Look at those men, gentlemen. Men of learning. Men of class. Men of justice.

Guillermo O'Bannon: You trying to tell us something?

Blak Lung: I am saying nothing that hasn't already been said.

(The Shootfighter gets into the ring, takes off his robes slowly and glares down the aisleway with intense hate, rage and fury. The crosses his arms as he continues to glare at the entrance curtain)

"Wild" Bill Kasal: "The following match is The Main Event of The Evening. It is scheduled for one fall, a 30 minute time limit, and is for The HARDKORE AMERICA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!! Your referee is Ron Reid. Featuring first, accompanied to the ring by his manager, Judge Death. From Bangkok, Thailand; standing at 5 feet 11 inches; Weighing 235 pounds; He is
donating the purse from this match to the victims of the killer tsunamis that ravaged his homeland...THE SHOOTFIGHTER!!!"

(The fans give him a mixed reaction but mostly boos.)

Phil Blauer: You can't get any real heel heat giving to charities. Now stealing from them...I wonder if most of those boo's aren't directed to Shootfighter for being yet another Hollywood liberal hitching his name to another cause.

Blak Lung: A charitable man never needs to seek help. Help will seek him.

Guillermo O'Bannon: There's a lot of seeking going on in your life, isn't there?

(hands Blak Lung his best selling book, Stalking Your Way Into Her Heart)

Phil Blauer: Check Chapter 11 on much you can get to know the women in your apartment complex simply by going through their garbage?

(Then The Thomas & Mack Center goes dark, purple lights flash and a purple spotlight shines on Hardkore America Heavyweight Champion Robert Hunglestein III at the top of the ramp way. He is wearing a long black robe, with the Hardkore America title belt strapped around his waist. On the robe, purple and gold gems spelling out the name "Hunglestein" are across the back. The purple lights turn to gold as a voice says "You wish you could be me...It must suck to be you!" then purple and gold begin to alternate and run all over arena as "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears hits)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Robert Hunglestien still getting over the shock of his friend Cobryn turning on him and The Un-Stable. They just lost their claim to being the top stable by losing those Hardkore World Six Man Tag Team titles to Mr.Shioda & The Tengu Clan.

Phil Blauer: Not to mention The Answer on the arena floor he took from Cobryn. And how do we not know if there are any other defectors in their midst. Who knows, it could even be me?

Blak Lung: Or me.

Phil Blauer: Yeah, or him.

Guillermo O'Bannon: Hopefully he can put all that out of his head, and concentrate on the veteran Shootfighter who can beat your entire body into the color of hamburger.

Yolanda Ando: The Hardkore America Champion wearing some long black baggy trunks with "Hunglestein" wrapping around the left leg in dark purple with gold outline. He's also got on some black elbow pads, and has his wrist taped with black tape. They ensemble is completed with black boots.

"Wild" Bill Kasal: "And his opponent; from Cleveland, Ohio; Standing at 6 feet 3 inches tall; Weighing 265 pounds; He is The Hardkore America Heavyweight Champion...ROBERT HUNGLESTIEN III!!!"

(Hunglestien gets a lion's share of the applause and holds the title up in the air. Ron Reid takes the belt from him and holds it high up in the air. Suddenly "Operation Midnight" by DJ Shadow plays and the fans go nuts. Hunglestien gives the back a look as if to say "Are you serious??")

Guillermo O'Bannon: That's Hardkore Jonnie Valentine's music! Is this match not only a Hardkore America title match but also a first round match in the Hardkore World Heavyweight Title Tourney??

(Hardkore Jonnie Valentine steps through the curtain and is blown back by the applause from the fans. He nods his head at the ring where both The Shootfighter and Hunglestien wonder what he's up to. Jonnie steps into the ring and takes the microphone from "Wild" Bill Kasal)

Hardkore Jonnie Valentine: "When I started this thing, I told everyone that this tournament was created so that one could never be sure if their match was a tournament match. In Denver, we found out it could be a steel cage match. In Reno, we found out it could be at a house show. Tonight, we found out it could be a title match. But right now, you both are about to find out it can be...twice in one night!"

(He then signals for the bell and the match begins)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Unbelievable!! The Shootfighter charges the champ and delivers a muy thai kick to Hunglestien's rib cage.

Blak Lung: Story goes Shootfighter once killed a man on the streets of Bangkok using only his forearms and shins.

Guillermo O'Bannon: He delivers another to his lower ribs, and back up to his chest. Robert Hunglestien answers with an elbow uppercut.

Phil Blauer: Uh oh, I hope this isn't Hunglestien's plan. He does not wanna brawl with The Shootfighter.

Guillermo O'Bannon: He's reshaped more noses on the West Coast than Extreme Makeover. I'm still in shock, Phil. I can't believe, this match is not only for the top title in the country, but is also a Hardkore World Heavyweight Title Tournament Match!

(Hunglestien drives an elbow into the small of The Shootfighter's back. The Shootfighter responds with a low blow, then hits him in the ankle with a stiff muy thai kick)

Phil Blauer: Jonnie didn't leave, did he? I've been trying to catch him for a week. I need to talk about taking a few vacation days in March. Seems my sudden fame has come with a heroine addiction. According to my iPod I'm scheduled to hit rock bottom this spring.

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter smacks Hunglestien in the back of his thigh with a muy thai kick. He lands another couple shots to his ankle.

(Hunglestien hopping up and down, on one leg and The Shootfighter drops him with a knife edge chop to Hunglestien's throat. He grabs Hunglestien's leg and wraps it up with a spinning toe hold)

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter crosses Hunglestien's leg over and drops down into a figure four! The Thai Giant softened up that leg best he could and is trying to take out Hunglestien's wheels early.

(The Shootfighter sits up high and bridges their figure four legs up. Then he twists over and does a side version)

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter is the master of this hold and knows how to break your leg in thirds with it. He releases it a little and gets to his feet, now applying a standing version.

(Hunglestien howls in pain as Shootfighter plants his foot and clamps down on RHIII's twisted legs. Hunglestien refuses to tap out to Ron Reid so The Shootfighter loosens it a little and switches it up into an inverted indian deathlock)

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter Deathlock! The Shootfighter pushes up from the mat to clamp down on his legs.

(Hunglestien clenches his fists in pain, pounding in to the mat. Ron Reid thinks it could be him tapping out, so Hunglestien has to grab him by the shirt and tell him "No!!")

Phil Blauer: He's never getting the smell of that shirt out of his hands.

Blak Lung: A man's darkest moment is usually seen by everyone but himself. Robert Hunglesteen III made a mistake when the words Blak Lung crossed his lips. Robert Hunglesteen III made an even bigger mistake when he agreed to face The Shootfighter.

Guillermo O'Bannon: He releases The Shootfighter Deathlock and delivers another muy thai kick to Hunglestien's ankle. He pulls Hunglestien up by the hair, and lifts him up into a human torture rack.

(Shootfighter stretches Hunglestien's back over his shoulders. Ron Reid checks in but Hunglestien still refuses to submit)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Shootfighter tries to turn it into a samoan drop but Hunglestien reverses it into a side headlock takedown! Hunglestien full nelsons Shootfighter.

(Hunglestien drives Shootfighter's ass into the ring with a bubba bomb! He irish whips Shootfighter into the ropes and pounds him into the canvas with a spinebuster)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Hunglestien floats over into a pinning position, hooks the leg!

Referee Ron Reid: 1...(The Shootfighter kicks out)

Blak Lung: (laughs) He thought it would be so easy. He thought The Shootfighter was a man he could take lightly. Like a shooting star Hunglesteen comes to us as a bright light and leaves before we know he was even here. The Shootfighter's a super nova. A man mentored by God himself. When he leaves we'll all know it. We'll burn alive inside his light.

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter back up on his feet and heart punches Hunglestien in the chest, ouch, again! Shootfighter winds back and hits him with a third heart punch. He follows it up with a muy thai kick but Hunglestien catches his leg. He counters with a heard & arm suplex!

(The crowd goes crazy for Hunglestien, and he does a go behind takedown. He does an amatuer grapple back up to his feet still in the waistlock and belly to back suplexes him)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Robert Hunglestien takes Shootfighter by the arm and then shortarm elbow smashes him in the face. Shootfighter blocks a second elbow and counters with a dragon strike claw strike to Hunglestien's chest. Another strike to his heart region.

Phil Blauer: Hunglestien cannot try to exchange punches with The Shootfighter if he hopes to not just advance in the Hardkore World Heavyweight Title Tournament but also keep his Hardkore America Heavyweight Title!

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter has participated in ultimate fighting, pancreatic, and muy thai tournaments all over the World. Hunglestien has already shown that Shootfighter owns him in that area.

Blak Lung: Huglesteen's soul has been bought and sold like a soul on the open sould market, but at a discount rate.

(The Shootfighter hits Hunglestien with a dragon claw strike to his kidney, he follows it with a couple muy thai kicks to the small of Hunglestien's back)

Phil Blauer: A few more kicks to the back that was so horribly burned in Denver by Death Gojira! That's like kicking a burn patient!

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter snap suplexes Hunglestien as quick as a hiccup, then twists his legs so that they get back up together, then hits him with a second snap suplex.

(He pops his hips up into the suplex position but turns it into a cobra clutch and drops down into a crippler crossface!! Ron Reid slides to the mat to see if Hunglestien wants to submit)

Guillermo O'Bannon: The Shootfighter Crossface! The fans urging Hunglestien not to submit but this has been a long 9 minutes for him!

(Ron Reid asks Hunglestien if he submits, but Hunglestien refuses. Shootfighter pulls up on Hunglestien's arm & head as hard as he can)

Guillermo O'Bannon: He releases The Shootfighter Crossface and scoops Hunglestien up and drops him in a backbreaker.

(Shootfighter pulls him up into a second backbreaker, then curls him back up into his arms. Shootfighter then makes the full extension over into a powerslam! He hooks Hunglestien's leg)

Referee Ron Reid: 1...2...(Robert Hunglestien III kicks out)

Phil Blauer: Hunglestien made a big mistake in trading punches with Shootfighter and he almost paid for it with his title and his spot in the Hardkore World Heavyweight Title Tournament!

Guillermo O'Bannon: Shootfighter stands over Hunglestien and clubs him with forearm smash after forearm smash. Hunglestien blocks one and takes him over into a side arm takedown!

Phil Blauer: If Hunglestien hopes to beat this war tested veteran he better hope he can out wrestle him.

Guillermo O'Bannon: Hunglestien smashes him with a couple of double ax handles, then drops down on his shoulder with an armbreaker! Hunglestien is right on Shootfighter on the mat with a full nelson.

(Hunglestien concentrates as mich as he can on Shootfighter's right shoulder. Now it's Shootfighter's turn to tell Ron Reid he doesn't submit)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Shootfighter works his way back up to his feet, so Hunglestien releases the full nelson and chicken wings Shootfighter's arm. Hunglestien scoops him up and bodyslams him on his hammerlocked arm!

(Hunglestien runs into the ropes and knocks Shootfighter off his feet with a lariot bulldog! The crowd is getting louder & louder)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Hunglestien hammerlocks Shootfighter's arm again and drops down to his knees, driving Shootfighter's chin into the top of his own head!

(Hunglestien pulls Shootfighter up by the hair and lifts him up into an atomic drop wishbone)

Guillermo O'Bannon: Hunglestien tosses Shootfighter over the ropes to the concrete below! Hunglestien rolls out of the ring. He scoops Shootfighter up and bodyslams him onto the Thomas & Mack Center floor!

(The Las Vegas fans cheer at the sickening sound of Shootfighter's body hitting the concrete! Hunglestien pulls a ring table out from underneath the ring, and they start chanting, "YOU'RE HARD-KORE!! YOU'RE HARD-KORE!! YOU'RE HARD-KORE!! YOU'RE HARD-KORE!! YOU'RE HARD-KORE!!")

Guillermo O'Bannon: Hunglestien lifts Shootfighter up into a fireman's carry, but Shootfighter falls behind him. Shootfighter belly to belly suplexes him through the table on the floor!!!
