The opening of "Do You Call My Name" by Ra begins as the crowd gets on their feet and the lights dim down. Clad in jeans and the official PWa referee's shirt, Freya Ragnal appears, nodding in appreciation of the fan's cheers, but looking a bit torn about the fact that she's going to have to officiate an encounter between one of her best friends and her brother.
Ferdinand: Introducing first....the challenger...He hails from Boston, MA by way of Belfast, Northern Ireland....he is the former PWA Atlantic Champion...the former and longest reigning PWA World Light Heavyweight Champion...weighing 228 lbs....he is the number one contender to the PWA World Heavyweight Championship...
"The Unbreakable"....Brad Kane!
"You've all heard this before. How life has infinite possibilities. I don't believe that one bit. There weren't many paths for me to choose. Sometimes, there would only be one. From the limited possibilities I faced, the choices I made have brought me this far. That's why I value the path I chose... I want to hold true to the path that HAD to be taken."
Moments after the line from Final Fantasy VIII has echoed through the arena, the lights begin to dim down but a special stage begins to rise next to the entry way. Standing on the new staging is the band Killswitch Engage. The crowd rises to their feet for the scream that kicks off "This Fire Burns." Once front man Howard Jones begins the vocals, strobe lights begin to go insane, red in color. When he gets to the chorus, the strobe ends while the red fog begins to engulf the entry way, the lights coming back on just a tad bit, enough to give the indiction that Brad Kane is standing in the entry way. He steps out from the back to a huge ovation from the vast crowd tonight. Brad nods his head before beginning his walk down to the ring. Along the way, he high fives many of the fans who have their hands sticking out over the barrier. Once Brad's at ringside he turns to his left and begins to slap more hands. When he's nearly done, he stops near a section at the front row. Sitting there is Megan along with all four of his daughters. He leans over and gives all of his daughters a kiss on the forehead before Megan kisses his lips for good luck. Brad turns around and hops up on the ring apron, turning to face the crowd while the words from Howard Jones echo in his head.
"Nevermore to be held down
By the wings of history
Nevermore to be cast aside
This day is mine"
He enters the ring and heads to the turnbuckle closest to his family, going to the top. Brad smiles at them, nodding his head before mouthing "I love you" to Megan. He then hops down and backs into the corner, listening to Killswitch Engage finishing the song...
Franks: Quite an entrance by Brad Kane here this evening. Thank you to Killswitch Engage for their performance.
Quadros: I hope to God he paid for that band out of his own pocket.
Ferdinand: And now...
"Actually, Freddy...if you don't mind, I'd like to do this particular introduction,"
The crowd breaks out into another round of cheers as Natalie Snow, still clad in her wedding dress, appears at the top of the face with a wide, beaming smile across her face.
Natalie: And now...Mr. Kane's opponent....He hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and weighs 190lbs...He is the two-time and current PWA World Heavyweight Champion...Making his fourth defense of his second reign...
He is my husband....my champion....
The Eternal Champion....
He is.....TERMINUS!
As "I Wear My Skin" starts to play over the sound system, the lights go dim, and the crowd rises to their feet as twin columns of red fireworks shower sparks the top of the stage . The lighting becomes a bit brighter, revealing the figure of Terminus standing at the top of the stage. The champion acknowledges the generally positive reaction with a slight nod of the head, but in generaly keeps his attention focused upon the ring as he makes his way down the ramp, walking hand in hand with his new wife. As he reaches the ring, the masked man whispers something into Natalie's ear that causes her smile to grow even wider, and then turns toward the crowd, and draws his thumb across his throat in the ever-popular throat slash gesture. After receiving a final good luck kiss from his spouse, he then slides under the bottom rope, and then crouches in his corner, awaiting the beginning of the match.
Franks: Well, the two competitors look ready to begin, so let's go down to the ring and get this match started!
Terminus and Brad keep their gazes fixed upon one another as they listen to Freya and watch her hold up the championship belt for all to see and then give some final pre-match instructions, and urge the two to try to make her job easier by keeping things as clean as possible. The two pause for a moment and then both nod as they step back to their corners and watch the guest official turn to the timekeeper and signal for the match to begin!
* ANTICIPATION POP FOR THE MATCH TO COME!*
* DING! DING!*
~ The crowd's cheers fade and a strange quiet descends across the stadium as the two men step out of their corners and slowly begin the circle the ring. After a moment, BK initiates the action by firing a hard shoot kick at his rival's leg. Terminus gets his leg up to check the strike, and then responds by firing a quick jab to the face that causes Kane to take a step backward. The champion decides to press the issue by stepping into a Superman Punch, but Kane slips the strikes and counters with right hand of his own that the masked man only partially manages to deflect. Both of them step back from the exchange, and circle the ring once more as the continue to look for openings in their rival's guard that they might be able to exploit.~
Franks: Well, that first exchange was pretty even, which is no surprise given how capable these two are in terms of striking ablity.
Quadros: Yeah...not a lot to separate them thus far...But I get the feeling that both men are just waiting for the right moment to start unleashing their heavy artillery. Hopefully that moment comes soon...
~After a few more seconds, the champion decides to take the initiative by feigning a standing Spin Kick before whirling into a Spinning Legsweep designed to chop out his rival's legs from beneath him. Kane manages to do a back handspring to avoid being taken down and then quickly somersaults forward into a Koppu Kick that catches his rising opponent in the face. Terminus stumbles backward into the ropes, and BK rolls into a Running European Uppercut to the chin that leaves the masked man looking as though he's out on his feet. Pressing the issue, the challenger then whips his rival into the ropes and then bounces off the strands, looking to take his rival's head off with a Yakuza Kick. NO! Terminus does a baseball slide to avoid the attack and then then counters with a crisp dropkick to the knee that deposits Kane face first onto the mat!~
Franks: Well, I guess that shows how quickly the momentum can change, because Kane seemed to be taking control, only to have the masked man cut his assault short with one well placed strike!
~The champion regards his challenger with a predatory glint in his eye as he watches him struggle up to his feet, and then proceeds to leap up into a Dropsault that catches his rival flush in the face! Kane flops onto his back, and the masked man springs up to his feet and then proceeds to sprint forward and hurl himself into a Standing Shooting Star Press...landing directly on top of Kane's knees after he manages to get them up! OH! Natalie hisses a curse as she watches Terminus crumple to his knees and collapse onto his back, and Megan is shown clapping and urging her husband on as the challenger slowly rises to his feet and shakes out his leg a bit before turning his attention back to his rival with an expression on his face that indicates his desire to do some pretty serious harm.~
Quadros: Wow! Terminus made the mistake of going for something big, and looks to have paid a heavy price! The champ has proved capable of learning from his mistakes, but from that look in Kane's eye...I'm not certain if he'll get that opportunity!
~Pulling him up by the arm, BK then proceeds to twist it into an armwringer and then unleashes a series of savage shoot kicks to the torso of his rival that leave him doubled over in agony. Kane then delivers another stiff European Uppercut that stands his opponent straight up, before deciding to go for broke with the BK Backfist! Ducked! Terminus responds with a series of alternating kicks to the leg and torso, followed by spinning back back that doubles his rival over in pain! Now it's the masked man's turn to go for something big as he spins himself into an attempted 540 Crescent Kick aimed at the head! No...Kane blocks the strike and grabs the extended leg, before shoving him down hard onto his back! ~
Franks: Nice takedown from Kane to gain a position of advantage!
Quadros: Yeah, he's got the champion on the defensive, but Terminus does seem to be covering up pretty well, so it will be interesting to see how Kane goes about getting past his guard!
~ Kane begins to drop down into the mount to exploit this advatage, but the champion brings his foot up into a hard kick that catches BK on the chin and convinces him to take a different approach. Brad watches the champion turtles into a tight guard as he lies on his back, and searches for ways to penetrate his rival's defenses; after a couple of moments, he opts to use the method of breaking them down as he launches a stiff kicks to the leg of his opponent! "Thwack!" And a kick to the other leg! "Thwack!" The champion realizes that he's in a bad position and tries to scramble to his feet, but exposes his back to Kane in the process and pays the price when the challenger assumes the rear mount and rains down forearms and punches before sinking in a tight Rear Naked Choke and rolling the champion over and arching back into order to exert even more pressure on the submission hold!~
Franks: Submission attempt by Kane, and he's got that hold locked in!
~ The eyes of the champion bulge out in panic for a moment, and for a moment it seems as though he'll have no other choice but to tap or lose consciousness. But, he manages to gathers his wits and realizes that he's close enough to the ropes to reach out and grab onto the bottom strand in order to force a break of the hold. Terminus manages to do just this, and Freya tells her brother to release the hold; Kane seems reluctant to comply but finally lets go when Freya starts to toll the five count. BK tells his sister that he had to the count of five to break, and that she could have counted a little more slowly, which causes Ragnal to roll her eyes as she advises him to turn his attention back to his rising opponent, who still looks to be a bit woozy as he rises to his feet and steps forward to resume the action. Taking advantage of the situation. Brad rushes forward and grabs his opponent's legs, before lifting him up into the air and slamming him to the mat with a hard Double Leg Takedown. Kane quickly assumes the mount and starts to rain down forearms and punches onto his rival as the crowd breaks out into cheers as they think that this might be the end! ~
Quadros: Kane's really pouring it on with the ground and pound assault and Terminus had better do something quick, or Freya will stop the match in order to protect the man she calls her surrogate brother from any further abuse!
~ Megan and the Kane family are shown cheering as loud as they possibly can for Brad, while Natalie pounds on the mat and shouts support to Terminus as he struggles to ward off the torrent of blows that are coming his way. Freya takes a close look at the situation to see if her "surrogate brother" can still defend himself, and seems almost ready to step in until Terminus works himself into position where he can finally pull guard on his rival. Undeterred, Kane continues to fire away with forearms and punches as he tries to work himself into better position, but doesn't get his arm back quickly enough after throwing one of these punches and pays the price when, without warning, the champion reaches up with his legs, scissors the extended arm between them and then pulls Kane down to the mat and extends the limb to complete the application of the Cross-Arm breaker! ~
* OUT OF NOWHERE SUBMISSION ATTEMPT POP!*
~ BK yells out in agony as the crowd rises to the their feet, despite the best efforts of Cross and Freddy to quiet them down by holding up "SHH!" signs. Terminus wrenches back on the submission attempt for all that he's worth, and Freya drops down and asks her brother if he wants to call it a night. NO! Brad works his way to his feet and tries to keep his arm bent to relieve the pressure, but the champion kicks him hard in the ribs to straighten the arm out once again! Terminus rocks back, and tells Freya to ask him again! Brad tells Freya not to listen to him! Freya looks torn as she watches Megan and the kids start to chant Brad's name, and then down at Natalie who is pounding on the mat and shouting support to her new husband! "Ask him, Freya!" "No!" ASK him!" "Don't fucking listen to him!" Kane looks to be near tears, but manages to tilt his rival's shoulders to the mat for the first pin fall attempt of the contest: 1...T-Terminus rolls Kane over onto back, and exerts even more pressure, causing Kane to flop back onto his back: 1....Kane gets his arm up and, realizing that her sister looks prepared to call the match, lets out a loud war cry, proceeds to drag himself along the canvas and JUST manage to latch onto the bottom cable to force a break of the hold! ~
Franks: Massive display of heart by Kane to find a way to make it to the ropes before too much damage could be done to the arm!
Quadros: Yeah, that was close, but you know that Brad wasn't going to allow himself to lose to an armbar, no matter how well executed; especially with this much on the line.
~ Terminus keeps the arm bar cinched in till Freya reaches the count of "four" before finally releasing his grip on the hold, and then lurks behind his rival as he watches him slowly get back to his feet and shake some feeling back into his arm. Terminus signals his desire to engage Kane in a lockup, and, after a momentary pause, BK nods his head and obliges this request. After a few seconds, Kane uses his size advantage to spin his rival around and then drive him backward toward the corner. Sensing that he's about to be put into a bad position, the masked man wrenches his arms free of his rival's grasp, which causes BK to sneer as he steps forward and delivers a hard two handed shove to his rival's chest, which prompts the Canadian to step forward and return the favor. The two competitors glare at one another as they both cock their fists, and the match looks about ready to turn into an all out brawl; but after noticing the concerned look in the eye of Freya they opt instead to engage in another lock-up. ~
Quadros: Damn Freya! She may be hot and everything, but she just ruined the chance to watch a perfectly good brawl simply by virtue of being so closely connected with these two!
Franks: You've actually been spending more time staring at her than at the action, Ray...
Quadros: Hey, can you blame me? She fills out that shirt about as well as anyone this side of Sasha Brown!
~ The two spend another couple of moments jockeying for position until Kane gains control with a side headlock with is quickly converted into a rear waist lock. BK then proceeds to lift his rival into the air and slam him down hard onto his stomach before rolling his opponent over and bridging back for a pinning attempt: 1...2....Terminus over into a seated position and then works his way to his feet before prying his opponent's arm off of him and twisting it into a Standing Wrist Lock. The masked man quickly twists the limb into an Arm Wringer, causing Kane to tumble onto his back, and then begins to wrench on the targeted limb as he continues to keep the Wrist Lock applied. Kane winces in pain, but manages to keep his calm as he performs a smooth roll through and then counters into his own Wrist Lock. Kane then stomps down hard on his rival's calf as he converts the hold into a top Wristlock, and keeps it cinched in as he powers him onto his back. Keeping his cool, the champ somersaults backward and then rolls forward, spinning on the mat to his feet as he reverses back into a Wristlock of his own before taking his rival back down with a back heel trip! ~
*SLICK TECHNICAL REVERSAL POP!*
~ Natalie smiles and nods her head, and even Megan applauds the counter from her front row seat. Kane isn't quite as moved, though, for he quickly kips up to his feet and then clocks the champion on the chin with a stiff forearm, allowing him to whip his rival off of him and into the ropes. Kane catches the masked man on the rebound and tries to take him over into a hip toss, but somehow, the champion flips forward and lands on his feet. Before Brad can react, Terminus proceeds to spin around and take him to the mat with a crisp Japanese Armdrag. More angered than hurt, Kane springs to his feet, only to be taken to the mat once more with a drop toehold. Terminus quickly grabs Kane's arm and then proceeds to twist himself into a Magistral Cradle to force his opponent's shoulders to the mat: 1...2...Kick Out! Both men scramble off the mat, but Terminus is up a bit quicker, and takes advantage by connecting with a stiff roaring elbow to the chin that sends Kane stumbling back to the ropes. Pressing the issue, the champion proceeds to whip Kane into the other set of strands, and then leaps up into the air and tries to take his opponent over into a Standing Hurricanrana! NO! Kane catches his opponent in mid-air and proceeds to drive him down hard onto his back with a thunderous Jumping Lygerbomb! ~
Franks: HUGE counter by Kane to turn the momentum of the match back in his favor!
Quadros: Yeah, and judging by the way the champion looks, I think Kane might be able to keep the momentum in his favor for quite a while!
~ Terminus lies gasping on the mat with his back arched in pain, and Kane is quick to capitalize by putting him into a folding press for pin fall attempt: 1...2...TH-Kick Out! Undaunted, Kane pulls the champion off the mat by the mask and then nails him with a wicked knife-edge chop to the throat that sends the masked man reeling back into the ropes! WHOO! Brad proceeds to Snapmare his rival down to a seated position, and then follows up by nailing him in the back with a brutal soccer-style kick! THWACK! Natalie gasps as she watches her husband cringe in pain, and then goes very pale as she watches BK back up and nail him with an even harder kick to the lower spine! THWACK! Kane then bounces off the ropes and connects with a THIRD kick to the spine and breaks out into a slightly sadistic grin as he listens to the crowd let out a loud "OOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!" in response! ~
Franks: Dear God! Those kicks are doing an absolute number on Terminus and you have to wonder how much more this man's back can take!
~ BK then proceeds to bounce off the ropes once more somersaults forward into a Rolling Necksnap that causes the champ to collapse onto his back, and then quickly dives on top of his opponent for another cover: 1...2...THR-Kick out! Kane doesn't seem all that fazed about the fact that his rival was able to kick out, and simply pulls him up by the arm and whips him back first into the nearest corner before following him in with a Running Corner Yakuza Kick. Terminus slumps to a seated position in the corner, and Kane follows up by vaulting out to the ring apron and then slingshots himself back into a Seated Corner Dropkick that catches the masked man flush in the face! Kane gets to his feet and scrapes the sole of his boot across his foe's face a few times before racing off the the ropes and nailing him flush with an Ole Kick! Terminus looks to be nearly unconscious by now and certainly is in no position to defend himself when Kane pulls the masked man up by the hair and then sinks in a front face lock before running up the turnbuckles and twisting off into a Tornado DDT that spikes his rival head-first onto the mat! Megan is shown cheering her husband on as he quickly makes his way over to where his opponent lies and drops on top of him for the cover: 1......2.......THREENO! Kick Out at 2.999999999999~
Quadros: Kane is throwing everything that he can at the champion in order to put him away, but Terminus keeps finding ways to avoid defeat! Still, he looks to be in pretty rough shape, and if Kane can wear him down just a little more, he might be able to end the match pretty soon!
~ Natalie lets out a sigh of relief, while Megan shakes her head for a moment before urging Brad to keep the pressure on. Brad seems to hear his wife's words, for he simply takes a deep breath and pulls his rival back to his feet, before booting him in the gut to double him over and taking him over into a Butterfly Suplex. Keeping the double underhook applied, Kane executes a second Butterfly Suplex, before pulling him up to his feet and dropping him across his knee with a Butterfly Back Breaker! Rather then go for the cover, Kane instead elects to grab his opponent by the legs, and twist him into a high angle Boston Crab! Megan and her children pound on the barricade, and lead the BK supporters in a chant of "Tap! Tap! Tap!" while Natalie pounds on the mat and urges her lover to keep fighting as the Terminus supporters chant "Please Don't Tap!" Freya looks the masked man in the eye and asks him if he wants to quit, only to have the champion shake his head in refusal. Terminus then begins to claw his way toward the ropes, and gradually maneuvers closer to the stands; at that point, Kane makes his task that much harder by converting the hold into an STF!~
Franks: Nice bit of chain wrestling by the challenger, and I think everyone in the stadium has to be impressed by the skill that he's displayed thus far.
Quadros: Well....not everybody...
~Cross and Freddy are shown lounging back in their chairs, not looking the least bit enthralled by the scene that's playing out before their eyes. But everyone else in the stadium seems to be a bit more involved in the match, for the stomping of feet and chanting is deafening as they chant for their favored competitor. For his part, Terminus only seems to hear the voice of his new wife as she screams her support, and this appears to be what compels him to fight through the pain and issue another refusal when Freya asks him if he wants to submit. Kane converts the facelock into a chinlock and begins to bend his rival back into a disgusting U shape, but even though he urges his sister to call a halt to the match, Terminus STILL won't quit and, with a last effort, manages to reach out and grab the bottom cable to force a break of the hold.~
Franks: How in the HELL did Terminus find a way to break that hold!?
Quadros: No idea...but, then again, I think it's just delaying the inevitable, because I think the damage has been done by that STF, and it's just a matter of time before Kane finds the right move needed to put his rival down for good!
~ Kane releases his grip at the count of four and for the first time, starts to look a bit frustrated as he drops into the mount and fires a series of punches down onto his foe's head until Freya admonishes him for using this tactic. BK stares blankly at her for a moment, but then nods his head as he pulls his rival back to his feet and then lifts him up into the hair before dropping him down hard across his knee with a Uranage Backbreaker! The challenger instantly chains this move into an Exploder Suplex that sends his rival flying across the ring, and then breaks into a smile, confident that the AMG Special 3 should be enough to finish matters. That smile stays in place a Kane scrambles over to his stricken opponent, making certain to hook the leg on the cover: 1.........2........THREEEEEEENOOOO! Shoulder Up! Can you believe it!? Brad certainly can't as he levels a hard stare in the direction of Freya, who holds up two fingers in response. Crying "That's fucking IT!" Kane pulls his rival back to his feet, and then proceeds to set him up for the Pumphandle Uranage that serves as his primary finisher! ~
Franks: LMSLBCK!
Qudros: COUNTERED!!!
~ Indeed, as Kane lifts his rival into the air, Terminus is somehow able to grab his opponent around the neck and apply a body scissors with his legs to complete the execution of the Hanging Guillotine Choke! The masked man then lets out a war cry of his own as the throws himself backward into a DDT that spikes his rival head-first to the mat and then wrenches back on the choke even more. Freya now asks Brad if he wants to submit, but is met with a flat refusal in response as he tries to work his way back to his feet in an effort to escape the submission. Terminus rises with him, and then converts the hold into an Arm-Triangle Choke, and then rolls him back down to the mat, before draping a leg across the back of his neck as he chains into a Koji Clutch! Now it's Natalie's turn to lead chants of "Tap! Tap!" and the Kane family's turn to urge Brad to keep fighting as Kane's eyes bulge out in agony as the masked man exerts even more pressure on the submission! ~
Franks: What a match! Kane looked to have his rival on the verge of defeat, but now Terminus has Kane in a word of trouble as a result of the choke that he's applied!
~ Brad's eyes go wide as he grabs he tries to resist the effects of the hold and work his way toward the ropes. Terminus continues to crank up the pressure on the choke, and Kane's eyes start to go glassy; this compels Freya to check his hand to see if there's still fight left in him. It falls...so she checks again...and it falls for a second time. Freya checks for a final time...and it fa-...NO! Kane keeps it aloft and then redoubles his efforts to make it to the cables to break the submission attempt! After several agonizing moments, Kane finally maneuvers close enough where he can drape his arm across the bottom strand; an action that causes Megan to cheer at the top of her lungs and Natalie to let out a frustrated groan. Terminus doesn't seem all that surprised at this display of toughness and simply releases the hold at Freya's count of "four" and gets to his feet, watching a still-woozy Brad struggle to his feet with the help of the ropes.~
Quadros: Well, as much as he annoys me sometimes, you have to admire the champ's cool under pressure right now. A lot of roster members would be losing it right now after watching Kane break a submission like that, but Terminus just seems to want to get down to business and take advantage of the damage that he's caused!
~ Stepping forward, the masked man grabs BK by the hair and pulls him into a Muay-Thai Clinch, and then delivers a series of alternating knees to the head and chest, before capping the sequence with a Falling Facebreaker that sends his foe crashing to the floor near the ropes. Not wasting a moment, the champion then races forward, leaps onto the top strand, and then bounces off into an Arabian Press Moonsault onto his rival before applying the cover: 1.....2....TH-Kick Out! The masked man gets up clutching his ribs, but that doesn't prevent him from pulling his rival back to his feet by the arm and pulling him into a stiff shoot kick to the gut. Cinching in a front facelock to his doubled over opponent, the champ then takes him over into a snap suplex, and then pulls him up and executes a second snap suplex to his rival. Hauling him to his feet once more, Terminus then lifts his rival back to his feet, and then lifts him into Vertical Suplex position before dropping him down into an Ace Crusher! OH! Kane lies inert on the canvas, but the champion seems to have aggravated the rib injury that he seems to have suffered, and it takes a moment for him to recover enough so that he can make his way over and apply the cover: 1........2.........THREEEENOO! Kane kicks out again!~
Franks: Great sequence of moves by Terminus, and you have to wonder if that would have been the finish had he not aggraveted those injured ribs!
Quadros: Yeah, well...no use in saying "What if" in these types of situations. Bottom line is that the match is still going, and Terminus has to find a way to win it if he wants to retain!
~ Natalie mouths the words "Are you kidding!?" and her husband stares wide-eyed at Freya for a moment, and then shakes his head when she holds up two fingers in response. Letting out an audible sigh, the masked man proceeds to pull Kane up by the arm and then whips him into the ropes before bouncing off the strands and hurling himself forward into a Flipping Neckbreaker that causes the back of Kane's head to bounce off the mat in sickening fashion! As the crowd goes ballistic, Terminus rolls to his feet, and then proceeds to make his way to the nearest corner and climbs the ropes as quickly as he can! Once he's reached the top, he stares down at his wife and smiles through his mask as he watches her jump up and down as she shouts her support, and then gives his signature throat-slash taunt before sailing off into the Phoenix Splash that serves as his primary finisher! ~
Franks: TERMINAL VELOCITY!
Quadros: NO! WHAT A COUNTER!
~ The crowd also goes ballistic, for somehow, as Terminus was flipping through the air, Kane found the energy needed to kip up and catch him in the face with a wicked European Uppercut to the chin! The masked man hits the canvas like a ton of bricks, and Kane collapses on top of him for the cover: 1...........2...........THREEENOO! The champion somehow gets a shoulder off the mat at the last possible split-second! Kane flops onto his back and then takes a couple of moments to recuperate from the beating that he's suffered before climbing back his feet and then ascending the turnbuckles as quickly as he can as he watches his opponent struggle to his hands and knees. BK then sails off into a Frog Splash that connects flush across his rival's back and squashes him into the mat! Bk then floats over and then sinks in a reverse arm triangle, and then buries a series of hard knees to the head before flipping into a bridge to complete the MLK Clutch! ~
* SUBMISSION FINISHER POP!*
~ As everyone in the crowd, with the possible exception of the Rat Pack, screams itself hoarse, Kane arches back in order to apply as much pressure as he can to the submission, while Terminus desperately tries to drag himself closer to the ropes to break the hold. The champion pushes himself frog style with his legs toward the strands, and makes a bit of progress toward his goal, but it's obvious that the effort took just about every bit of energy that he had as his eyes start to go vacant. Freya asks him if he wants to submit and doesn't get a response, so she checks his hand and watches it fall...checks it again, and watches it drop once more....checks it for the final time...and watches it stay UP! With everything he has left, Terminus pushes himself forward with his legs just a little bit further and then drapes his arm across the bottom cable; causing his supporters to cheer at the top of their lungs! ~
Terminus supporters: STILL THE CHAMP! STILL THE CHAMP!
~ BK releases the MLK Clutch at four and slams the mat in frustration as he drags himself back to his feet and then glare down at his rival with an expression that indicates his desire to end the match once and for all. Hauling his rival back to his feet by the arm, BK then pulls him into a knee to the gut, and then lifts him up into a Wrist-Clutch Fisherman Buster that deposits the champion head-first onto the mat! AMG Driver! Kane then rolls over and applies the cover, making certain to hook the leg: 1...............2..............THREEEEEEENOOO! Terminus gets his shoulder up once again! Kane lets out a loud roar of frustration as he stares up at the rafters for a moment and his eyes blaze with wild intensity as he then pulls his rival back to his feet by the mask, and then delivers a head butt that sends the champion staggering back into the strands! The challenger then steps forward and connects with the BK Backfist that he was looking for earlier in the match, causing the champion to stiffen before falling straight backward through the ropes before he slides off the apron and lands hard on the stadium floor! ~
* SICK BUMP POP!*
~The masked man lies face-first on the floor, and Natalie lets out an anguished cry as she rushes over and checks on his condition. Freya also looks terribly concerned as she regards the sight of Terminus but manages to keep her emotions in check as she begins the ten count and advises Natalie not to interfere on behalf of her husband. Natalie reluctantly complies and backs off, watching helplessly as Kane slingshots over the top rope and to the floor with a double stomp onto the prone form of his opponent! OH! Kane and Natalie exchange glares for a moment, before BK turns his attention back to his rival as he struggles to his rise and then races forward into his John Woo Front Dropkick that sends his rival flying backward into the barricade that separates the Rat Pack from the ringside area! ~
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!
~ Kane then rolls back into the ring and outside again to the apron to break Freya's count, and then watches her brother leap onto the second rope and springboard off into an attempted Rounding Plancha Dive onto his rival as the latter pulls himself up with the use of the barricade! NO! Terminus drops out of the way at the last moment, and Kane finds himself hurtling onto the members of the Rat Pack security team that surround Cross and Freddy! The two members of the Rat Pack don't look at all impressed about this turn of events- not that they were looking all that impressed, anyway- and step forward out of their chairs and stand over Kane about being inconvenienced as some of the other members of their security drag him up to his feet and try to remove from the area. At that moment, a more or less recovered PWA World Heavyweight Champion makes his presence known in this matter after he has vaulted to the top rope and sailed off into a spectacular 720 Corkscrew Plancha Dive onto the various parties that have been assembled around the area! WHOA! Freddy and Cross are sent hurtling onto their backs, while Kane finds himself squashed beneath the champion after taking his huge high risk move! ~
* DEAFENING HOLY SHIT CHANTS! *
~ Terminus manages to extricate himself from the assortment of bodies that surround him and then picks up Kane and then hip tosses him over the barricade and to the ringside area. The champion then races forward, steps off the top of the barricade and into a Missile Dropkick that catches Kane in the back of the head just as the latter rises to his feet! BK hurtles forward against the apron and crashes back to the floor, and looks to just about out of it as the masked man pulls him up and rolls him back into the ring. Hopping back into the ring apron, Terminus then slingshots into a Hangover Legdrop onto his rival and then hooks the leg on the ensuing over: 1....2....THRE-NO! Kane gets his hand on the ropes! Keeping the pressure on, the champion pulls his rival back to his feet by the arm and whips him into the ropes before picking him up into a Flapjack and spiking him down hard with an Elevated Sit-Out Facebuster! Terminus quickly shoots the half nelson and rolls kane over into a lateral press, making certain to hook the leg: 1.......2.......THREEEENO! Shoulder Up! ~
Franks: What's it going to take for Terminus to finish his challenger once and for all!?
Quadros: Umm...decapitation, maybe?
~ Taking several deep gulps of air, the masked man waits for his rival to begin to rise, and proceeds to catch then spins himself into a Standing 540 Crescent Kick that clips Kane on the chin! Brad staggers backward and collapses to his knees and the masked man's face lights up with excitement as he sprints forward and then nails Kane in the temple with a perfect Shining Wizard just as The Unbreakable begins to rise! BK's eyes go vacant as he collapses onto his back, and the man Natalie referred to as The Eternal Champion then drops down and applies the cover as Freya drops down to make another count: 1..........2.........THRE-NO! Kane STILL keeps fighting! The champion stares up at the rafters in disbelief for a moment but then nods his head as he decides his next course of action and then proceeds to pull his opponent back to his feet and then doubles him over with a kick to the gut and draws his thumb across his throat before lifting him up into a Small Package Driver, and then converting that move into a tight pinning combination: 1.........2.........THREEEEEEEEENO! Kane somehow finds it in himself to kick out AGAIN! Megan and the Kane family rise to their feet once more as the challenger's supporters make themselves heard!~
Kane Supporters: YOU CAN'T BEAT HIM! YOU CAN'T BEAT HIM!
~ Natalie's mouth falls open in disbelief, as does her husband's as he looks completely shocked at the fact that Kane kicked out once again! After staring helplessly into the crowd for a moment, and then down at his wife, Terminus pulls his rival back to his feet and then tries to lift him up into the Snap Butterfly Piledriver he calls Requiem Aeternam! No! Kane blocks and then counters into a Bridging Back Bodydrop for a pinfall attempt of his own: 1.......2......Terminus does his own bridge to escape and then tries to twist himself into a Backslide attempt. WAIT! Kane rolls backward over his rival's back to his feet and then proceeds to lift his opponent up and spike him down with the Love Megan Package Piledriver! THUMP! Terminus lands head first, but Kane is still feeling the effects of the beating he sustained and it takes a moment for him to roll him for the pinfall attept: 1.......2........THREEE! NO! Terminus kicks out! The match continues! ~
Franks: And now KANE finds a way to regain control, and TERMINUS finds a way to kick out of a high-impact move. What a match! What an absolute war!
~ As the crowd breaks out into dueling chants of "BK! BK!" and "Ter-min-us!", Kane drags himself back to his feet and lets out a loud war cry as he pulls his rival up by the arm and then hooks in the Pumphandle before lifting him up and slamming him down HARD with the LMSLBCK Uranage!!!! As the crowd rises to their feet after watching Kane connect with their finisher, Megan and the Kane kids cheer loudly and a very concerned Natalie watches Freya drop down as Kane applies what appears to be the final cover, and hooks the leg:
Franks: NEW CHAMPION!!!!
ONE...........................TWO.............................THREEEEE!!! NO!!!!
TERMINUS GETS A SHOULDER UP! TERMINUS IS STILL ALIVE!!!!
* OFF THE CHARTS FIGHTING SPIRIT POP! *
~ Now it's Kane's turn to register surprise as he stares down in shock at Terminus, and then lets out another angry yell as he pulls his rival back to his feet and then tries to lift him up into Torture Rack Position in order to nail the Reckless Killing Psycho Driver! NO! Terminus counters into a Rana, which is converted into a pinning combination: 1....2....Kane reaches up with his legs and counters by powering his rival's shoulders to the mat for a pinning attempt of his own: 1....2....Terminus somersault backward to escape, and then tries to take his rival's head off with a buzzsaw kick as he rises! Ducked! BK counters by chopping out his rival's legs from beneath him, and then springs to his feet and catches his rival in the face with the JAK Trigger Kick as the champion rises! Terminus crashes onto his back, and Kane proceeds to dive on top of him for yet another pin fall attempt; 1.....2.....THRE-NO! The Eternal Champion kicks out AGAIN! ~
Franks: I think that we can safely state by now that it's going to take something truly dramatic to end this encounter!
Quadros: Ya think...!? Well, Kane certainly seems to know that, and it looks like he's going to try right now!
~ Natalie and Megan shout support to their spouses as they watch kane let out still another battle cry as they watch Kane haul his rival to his feet by the arm and whip him into the corner before following him in with a Corner Shining Wizard! A series of rapid fire chops to the chest follow, before Kane picks his rival up by the leg and places him in a seated position on the top rope. Kane then ascends the turnbuckles and then sets up his rival for the Kirisute Gomen Avalance Brainbuster that's meant to finish this match for good! WAIT! Terminus blocks the attempt and then somehow finds the energy needed to shove Kane off of the corner and back down to the mat. Brad springs to his feet, just in time to be taken down with a brilliantly executed Swan Dive DDT off the top rope. Both men remain on the canvas following that last exchange, until Terminus kips up, earning a massive pop from the fans and an ecstatic, hopeful cry from his wife at ringside! ~
Crowd: THIS MATCH RULES! THIS MATCH RULES!
Franks: And now the momentum swings back to Terminus, and HE'S looking for a way to end this encounter and give his new wife a perfect wedding gift! What an amazing match!
Quadros: Yeah...both of these guys have put on a hell of a show!
~ Nodding in the direction of Natalie, Terminus then scales the turnbuckles, and then proceeds to leap off and perform his vaunted Phoenix 450 Splash....connecting HARD onto his prone rival's chest! The Canadian appears to have knocked the air of his lungs in the process, and crumples to the mat for a moment before finally rolling over and applying the cover, with the hook of the leg as Freya drops down to toll the final three count:
Quadros: TERMINUS RETAINS!!!!
ONE.....................TWO.....................THREEEEEENOOOOOO!?
KANE GETS A SHOULDER OFF THE MAT! KANE IS STILL IN THIS!
* THROUGH THE ROOF ARE YOU KIDDING SHOW OF RESPECT POP! *
As the Kane family goes utterly ballistic, Terminus flops back onto his back for a few moments, taking deep breaths in order to stave off the effects of frustration and exhusation, before finally sitting up and casting a dubious glance in the direction of Freya, who looks sympathetic as she holds up two fingers in response. Shaking his head in resignation, the champion climbs off the canvas and begins to scale the turnbuckles once more, looking to hit the Terminal Velocity once again! WAIT! BK somehow finds it in himself to scramble to his feet and then proceeds to climb up after his rival and put him in a Torture Rack before sailing off into the RECKLESS KILLING! THUMP! Terminus crashes head first to the canvas, and Kane crawls over and drapes an arm across his rival's chest for the cover:
Franks: This HAS to be it!!!!
ONE.....................TWO.......................THRE-NO!
NO!
Shoulder UP!
Quoadros: NO WAY! NO DAMNED WAY!!! KANE CHANNELLED RECKLESS JACK AND STILL COULND'T FINISH TERMINUS!
~ Kane slams the mat in fury about the fact that his opponent has just joined only a handful of people to have ever kicked out of this move, and then vents his frustration by applying a front facelock and diffing in with some more knees before hauling his rival to his feet and taking him over into a Backdrop Driver, before chaining back into the facelock and digging some more knees! Terminus desperately tries to scramble free, since he realizes that his opponent is trying to set up the AMG Special Finale, and manages to maneuver close enough to the ropes to drape his leg across the bottom cable just as Kane flips back into the MLK Clutch! Freya manages to pry her brother off of his rival, and advises him, much to his chagrin of the fact that the match shall continue, which causes BK to glare down at Terminus and mutter "not for long" as he prepares to finish things off once and for all! ~
Franks: Kane's going for the Finale once more, and if it's, then this match is DONE!
~ Once again, Kane pulls his rival back to his feet and prepares to take him over into another Backdrop Driver...NO! Terminus flips out of it and lands on his feet behind his rival. Before Kane can react, the champion grabs him and takes him down with a Hangman's Neckbreaker across the knee! After taking a moment to gather himself, the champion pulls his rival back to his feet, applies a Butterfly Lock, and then spikes him with the Requiem Aeternam! OH! WOW! Terminus rolls back through the hold to his feet while keeping the Butterfly Lock applied and then proceeds to flip forward into the "Butterfly Destroyer" that he refers to as THE LAST WORD!
* THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE BIG MATCH FINISHER POP!*
Kane's head bounces off the mat and he lies motionless on the canvas as Terminus rolls over and collapses on top of him for the cover:
1..............................2..............................THREEEEEENO!
Quadros: ARE YOU KIDDING!? KANE GETS A FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! WHAT THE HELL IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO WIN!?
Terminus seems at a loss for what to do as he sits on the canvas and shakes his head, listening to the sound of Kane supporters, and his family, break out into more chants of "You Can't Beat Him!" It seems for a moment that he might be agreeing with them, but, in the next moment, he stares down at Natalie, and then nods and smiles in her direction, before pulling his rival up and twisting him violently to the canvas with a nasty Corkscrew Neckbreaker! The Persistence of Time! Springing back to his feet with a renewed burst of energy, the PWA World Heavyweight Champion vaults to the top strand of the nearest corner, and then nods down at his wife, before flying off into a mid-boggling Double Rotation Moonsault onto his rival, eliciting a joyous cry from Natalie in the process!
Franks: SNOW FALL! SNOW FALL! TERMINUS JUST CONNECTED WITH HIS WIFE'S FINISHING MANEUVER!
Quadros: Now THAT'S a wedding gift!
Having connected with this move, the champion then flops on top of his rival and applies the cover, making certain to hook both legs!
ONE.....................TWO......................THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
*DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!*
* UNEARTHLY MY GOD THAT MATCH WAS LEGENDARY RESPECT POP!*
Ferdinand: Here is your winner......and STILL PWA World Heavyweight Champion.......TERRRRRRMINUSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
~ Moments after the bell rings, the crowd rises to their feet. Natalie charges into the ring and gives her new husband the biggest hug ever as she yells her lungs out in complete joy. Freya has a slight smile on her face before handing a still-seated Terminus the World Heavyweight Championship Title. As the newlyweds celebrate, Freya stares at her brother as he climbs to his knees and shakes his head in discouragement before rolling out of the ring and making his way over to his family. After giving a disappointed Megan a hug and kiss and wiping her tears from her eyes and telling her something that causes her to smile and nod, Brad then goes back over the barrier and slides back into the ring before making his way over to where Terminus and Natalie stand and stares at the two with a blank expresion on his face. Freya looks at the two, wondering what might happen between the two of them. ~
* CROWD GOES QUIET IN ANTICIPATION *
~ After a pause, Brad sticks his hand out, wanting to show Terminus respect. Terminus clasps the hand and then urges the crowd to show their respect for Kane, which they seem only to happy to do. Terminus then stares at Natalie and says something that causes her to regard him strangely, before she nods and extends her hand out to him and mouths the word "Sorry". Brad pauses and stares at her for a moment before chuckling slightly as he accepts the handshake and mouths the word "congratulations" and then gives a relieved Freya a hug before sliding out of the ring and making his way back toward his family, accepting the cheers of the crowd as he does so all the while. Freya gives Nat and Evan a big hug, looking pleased about the fact that everything has been worked out, and then exits the ring and heads over to the Kane family as they applaud the newlyweds for a moment before exiting en masse up the entrance ramp. Terminus and Nat remain in one another's arms and smile as they watch the Kanes exit, before staring with wonder into their eyes as the scores of thousands of fans continue to give the two an extended standing ovation. ~
Franks: Well, the man who was once a huge joke became the man to give Terminus the fight of his life! Brad Kane has nothing to be ashamed of, and if the rumors are true concerning the fact that he and Freya are considering retirement then they can at least say that they went out in style. Brad gave a performance that will be remembred for many years to come, and he and Terminus provided us with one of the classic encounters in this federation's history.
Quadros: I hate to agree, but I pretty much have to. Hell of an effort by Kane, and hell of a night for Terminus who retains his PWA World Heavyweight championship in an EPIC encounter AND gets married! Hard to top that, isn't it?
Franks: Yeah, but it will be interesting to watch him try in the weeks to follow. That is all the time we have, folks...thank you for watching Vow 2 and we'll see you at Violation 60! Good night!
Ferdinand: Introducing first....the challenger...He hails from Boston, MA by way of Belfast, Northern Ireland....he is the former PWA Atlantic Champion...the former and longest reigning PWA World Light Heavyweight Champion...weighing 228 lbs....he is the number one contender to the PWA World Heavyweight Championship...
"The Unbreakable"....Brad Kane!
"You've all heard this before. How life has infinite possibilities. I don't believe that one bit. There weren't many paths for me to choose. Sometimes, there would only be one. From the limited possibilities I faced, the choices I made have brought me this far. That's why I value the path I chose... I want to hold true to the path that HAD to be taken."
Moments after the line from Final Fantasy VIII has echoed through the arena, the lights begin to dim down but a special stage begins to rise next to the entry way. Standing on the new staging is the band Killswitch Engage. The crowd rises to their feet for the scream that kicks off "This Fire Burns." Once front man Howard Jones begins the vocals, strobe lights begin to go insane, red in color. When he gets to the chorus, the strobe ends while the red fog begins to engulf the entry way, the lights coming back on just a tad bit, enough to give the indiction that Brad Kane is standing in the entry way. He steps out from the back to a huge ovation from the vast crowd tonight. Brad nods his head before beginning his walk down to the ring. Along the way, he high fives many of the fans who have their hands sticking out over the barrier. Once Brad's at ringside he turns to his left and begins to slap more hands. When he's nearly done, he stops near a section at the front row. Sitting there is Megan along with all four of his daughters. He leans over and gives all of his daughters a kiss on the forehead before Megan kisses his lips for good luck. Brad turns around and hops up on the ring apron, turning to face the crowd while the words from Howard Jones echo in his head.
"Nevermore to be held down
By the wings of history
Nevermore to be cast aside
This day is mine"
He enters the ring and heads to the turnbuckle closest to his family, going to the top. Brad smiles at them, nodding his head before mouthing "I love you" to Megan. He then hops down and backs into the corner, listening to Killswitch Engage finishing the song...
Franks: Quite an entrance by Brad Kane here this evening. Thank you to Killswitch Engage for their performance.
Quadros: I hope to God he paid for that band out of his own pocket.
Ferdinand: And now...
"Actually, Freddy...if you don't mind, I'd like to do this particular introduction,"
The crowd breaks out into another round of cheers as Natalie Snow, still clad in her wedding dress, appears at the top of the face with a wide, beaming smile across her face.
Natalie: And now...Mr. Kane's opponent....He hails from Halifax, Nova Scotia, and weighs 190lbs...He is the two-time and current PWA World Heavyweight Champion...Making his fourth defense of his second reign...
He is my husband....my champion....
The Eternal Champion....
He is.....TERMINUS!
As "I Wear My Skin" starts to play over the sound system, the lights go dim, and the crowd rises to their feet as twin columns of red fireworks shower sparks the top of the stage . The lighting becomes a bit brighter, revealing the figure of Terminus standing at the top of the stage. The champion acknowledges the generally positive reaction with a slight nod of the head, but in generaly keeps his attention focused upon the ring as he makes his way down the ramp, walking hand in hand with his new wife. As he reaches the ring, the masked man whispers something into Natalie's ear that causes her smile to grow even wider, and then turns toward the crowd, and draws his thumb across his throat in the ever-popular throat slash gesture. After receiving a final good luck kiss from his spouse, he then slides under the bottom rope, and then crouches in his corner, awaiting the beginning of the match.
Franks: Well, the two competitors look ready to begin, so let's go down to the ring and get this match started!
Terminus and Brad keep their gazes fixed upon one another as they listen to Freya and watch her hold up the championship belt for all to see and then give some final pre-match instructions, and urge the two to try to make her job easier by keeping things as clean as possible. The two pause for a moment and then both nod as they step back to their corners and watch the guest official turn to the timekeeper and signal for the match to begin!
* ANTICIPATION POP FOR THE MATCH TO COME!*
* DING! DING!*
~ The crowd's cheers fade and a strange quiet descends across the stadium as the two men step out of their corners and slowly begin the circle the ring. After a moment, BK initiates the action by firing a hard shoot kick at his rival's leg. Terminus gets his leg up to check the strike, and then responds by firing a quick jab to the face that causes Kane to take a step backward. The champion decides to press the issue by stepping into a Superman Punch, but Kane slips the strikes and counters with right hand of his own that the masked man only partially manages to deflect. Both of them step back from the exchange, and circle the ring once more as the continue to look for openings in their rival's guard that they might be able to exploit.~
Franks: Well, that first exchange was pretty even, which is no surprise given how capable these two are in terms of striking ablity.
Quadros: Yeah...not a lot to separate them thus far...But I get the feeling that both men are just waiting for the right moment to start unleashing their heavy artillery. Hopefully that moment comes soon...
~After a few more seconds, the champion decides to take the initiative by feigning a standing Spin Kick before whirling into a Spinning Legsweep designed to chop out his rival's legs from beneath him. Kane manages to do a back handspring to avoid being taken down and then quickly somersaults forward into a Koppu Kick that catches his rising opponent in the face. Terminus stumbles backward into the ropes, and BK rolls into a Running European Uppercut to the chin that leaves the masked man looking as though he's out on his feet. Pressing the issue, the challenger then whips his rival into the ropes and then bounces off the strands, looking to take his rival's head off with a Yakuza Kick. NO! Terminus does a baseball slide to avoid the attack and then then counters with a crisp dropkick to the knee that deposits Kane face first onto the mat!~
Franks: Well, I guess that shows how quickly the momentum can change, because Kane seemed to be taking control, only to have the masked man cut his assault short with one well placed strike!
~The champion regards his challenger with a predatory glint in his eye as he watches him struggle up to his feet, and then proceeds to leap up into a Dropsault that catches his rival flush in the face! Kane flops onto his back, and the masked man springs up to his feet and then proceeds to sprint forward and hurl himself into a Standing Shooting Star Press...landing directly on top of Kane's knees after he manages to get them up! OH! Natalie hisses a curse as she watches Terminus crumple to his knees and collapse onto his back, and Megan is shown clapping and urging her husband on as the challenger slowly rises to his feet and shakes out his leg a bit before turning his attention back to his rival with an expression on his face that indicates his desire to do some pretty serious harm.~
Quadros: Wow! Terminus made the mistake of going for something big, and looks to have paid a heavy price! The champ has proved capable of learning from his mistakes, but from that look in Kane's eye...I'm not certain if he'll get that opportunity!
~Pulling him up by the arm, BK then proceeds to twist it into an armwringer and then unleashes a series of savage shoot kicks to the torso of his rival that leave him doubled over in agony. Kane then delivers another stiff European Uppercut that stands his opponent straight up, before deciding to go for broke with the BK Backfist! Ducked! Terminus responds with a series of alternating kicks to the leg and torso, followed by spinning back back that doubles his rival over in pain! Now it's the masked man's turn to go for something big as he spins himself into an attempted 540 Crescent Kick aimed at the head! No...Kane blocks the strike and grabs the extended leg, before shoving him down hard onto his back! ~
Franks: Nice takedown from Kane to gain a position of advantage!
Quadros: Yeah, he's got the champion on the defensive, but Terminus does seem to be covering up pretty well, so it will be interesting to see how Kane goes about getting past his guard!
~ Kane begins to drop down into the mount to exploit this advatage, but the champion brings his foot up into a hard kick that catches BK on the chin and convinces him to take a different approach. Brad watches the champion turtles into a tight guard as he lies on his back, and searches for ways to penetrate his rival's defenses; after a couple of moments, he opts to use the method of breaking them down as he launches a stiff kicks to the leg of his opponent! "Thwack!" And a kick to the other leg! "Thwack!" The champion realizes that he's in a bad position and tries to scramble to his feet, but exposes his back to Kane in the process and pays the price when the challenger assumes the rear mount and rains down forearms and punches before sinking in a tight Rear Naked Choke and rolling the champion over and arching back into order to exert even more pressure on the submission hold!~
Franks: Submission attempt by Kane, and he's got that hold locked in!
~ The eyes of the champion bulge out in panic for a moment, and for a moment it seems as though he'll have no other choice but to tap or lose consciousness. But, he manages to gathers his wits and realizes that he's close enough to the ropes to reach out and grab onto the bottom strand in order to force a break of the hold. Terminus manages to do just this, and Freya tells her brother to release the hold; Kane seems reluctant to comply but finally lets go when Freya starts to toll the five count. BK tells his sister that he had to the count of five to break, and that she could have counted a little more slowly, which causes Ragnal to roll her eyes as she advises him to turn his attention back to his rising opponent, who still looks to be a bit woozy as he rises to his feet and steps forward to resume the action. Taking advantage of the situation. Brad rushes forward and grabs his opponent's legs, before lifting him up into the air and slamming him to the mat with a hard Double Leg Takedown. Kane quickly assumes the mount and starts to rain down forearms and punches onto his rival as the crowd breaks out into cheers as they think that this might be the end! ~
Quadros: Kane's really pouring it on with the ground and pound assault and Terminus had better do something quick, or Freya will stop the match in order to protect the man she calls her surrogate brother from any further abuse!
~ Megan and the Kane family are shown cheering as loud as they possibly can for Brad, while Natalie pounds on the mat and shouts support to Terminus as he struggles to ward off the torrent of blows that are coming his way. Freya takes a close look at the situation to see if her "surrogate brother" can still defend himself, and seems almost ready to step in until Terminus works himself into position where he can finally pull guard on his rival. Undeterred, Kane continues to fire away with forearms and punches as he tries to work himself into better position, but doesn't get his arm back quickly enough after throwing one of these punches and pays the price when, without warning, the champion reaches up with his legs, scissors the extended arm between them and then pulls Kane down to the mat and extends the limb to complete the application of the Cross-Arm breaker! ~
* OUT OF NOWHERE SUBMISSION ATTEMPT POP!*
~ BK yells out in agony as the crowd rises to the their feet, despite the best efforts of Cross and Freddy to quiet them down by holding up "SHH!" signs. Terminus wrenches back on the submission attempt for all that he's worth, and Freya drops down and asks her brother if he wants to call it a night. NO! Brad works his way to his feet and tries to keep his arm bent to relieve the pressure, but the champion kicks him hard in the ribs to straighten the arm out once again! Terminus rocks back, and tells Freya to ask him again! Brad tells Freya not to listen to him! Freya looks torn as she watches Megan and the kids start to chant Brad's name, and then down at Natalie who is pounding on the mat and shouting support to her new husband! "Ask him, Freya!" "No!" ASK him!" "Don't fucking listen to him!" Kane looks to be near tears, but manages to tilt his rival's shoulders to the mat for the first pin fall attempt of the contest: 1...T-Terminus rolls Kane over onto back, and exerts even more pressure, causing Kane to flop back onto his back: 1....Kane gets his arm up and, realizing that her sister looks prepared to call the match, lets out a loud war cry, proceeds to drag himself along the canvas and JUST manage to latch onto the bottom cable to force a break of the hold! ~
Franks: Massive display of heart by Kane to find a way to make it to the ropes before too much damage could be done to the arm!
Quadros: Yeah, that was close, but you know that Brad wasn't going to allow himself to lose to an armbar, no matter how well executed; especially with this much on the line.
~ Terminus keeps the arm bar cinched in till Freya reaches the count of "four" before finally releasing his grip on the hold, and then lurks behind his rival as he watches him slowly get back to his feet and shake some feeling back into his arm. Terminus signals his desire to engage Kane in a lockup, and, after a momentary pause, BK nods his head and obliges this request. After a few seconds, Kane uses his size advantage to spin his rival around and then drive him backward toward the corner. Sensing that he's about to be put into a bad position, the masked man wrenches his arms free of his rival's grasp, which causes BK to sneer as he steps forward and delivers a hard two handed shove to his rival's chest, which prompts the Canadian to step forward and return the favor. The two competitors glare at one another as they both cock their fists, and the match looks about ready to turn into an all out brawl; but after noticing the concerned look in the eye of Freya they opt instead to engage in another lock-up. ~
Quadros: Damn Freya! She may be hot and everything, but she just ruined the chance to watch a perfectly good brawl simply by virtue of being so closely connected with these two!
Franks: You've actually been spending more time staring at her than at the action, Ray...
Quadros: Hey, can you blame me? She fills out that shirt about as well as anyone this side of Sasha Brown!
~ The two spend another couple of moments jockeying for position until Kane gains control with a side headlock with is quickly converted into a rear waist lock. BK then proceeds to lift his rival into the air and slam him down hard onto his stomach before rolling his opponent over and bridging back for a pinning attempt: 1...2....Terminus over into a seated position and then works his way to his feet before prying his opponent's arm off of him and twisting it into a Standing Wrist Lock. The masked man quickly twists the limb into an Arm Wringer, causing Kane to tumble onto his back, and then begins to wrench on the targeted limb as he continues to keep the Wrist Lock applied. Kane winces in pain, but manages to keep his calm as he performs a smooth roll through and then counters into his own Wrist Lock. Kane then stomps down hard on his rival's calf as he converts the hold into a top Wristlock, and keeps it cinched in as he powers him onto his back. Keeping his cool, the champ somersaults backward and then rolls forward, spinning on the mat to his feet as he reverses back into a Wristlock of his own before taking his rival back down with a back heel trip! ~
*SLICK TECHNICAL REVERSAL POP!*
~ Natalie smiles and nods her head, and even Megan applauds the counter from her front row seat. Kane isn't quite as moved, though, for he quickly kips up to his feet and then clocks the champion on the chin with a stiff forearm, allowing him to whip his rival off of him and into the ropes. Kane catches the masked man on the rebound and tries to take him over into a hip toss, but somehow, the champion flips forward and lands on his feet. Before Brad can react, Terminus proceeds to spin around and take him to the mat with a crisp Japanese Armdrag. More angered than hurt, Kane springs to his feet, only to be taken to the mat once more with a drop toehold. Terminus quickly grabs Kane's arm and then proceeds to twist himself into a Magistral Cradle to force his opponent's shoulders to the mat: 1...2...Kick Out! Both men scramble off the mat, but Terminus is up a bit quicker, and takes advantage by connecting with a stiff roaring elbow to the chin that sends Kane stumbling back to the ropes. Pressing the issue, the champion proceeds to whip Kane into the other set of strands, and then leaps up into the air and tries to take his opponent over into a Standing Hurricanrana! NO! Kane catches his opponent in mid-air and proceeds to drive him down hard onto his back with a thunderous Jumping Lygerbomb! ~
Franks: HUGE counter by Kane to turn the momentum of the match back in his favor!
Quadros: Yeah, and judging by the way the champion looks, I think Kane might be able to keep the momentum in his favor for quite a while!
~ Terminus lies gasping on the mat with his back arched in pain, and Kane is quick to capitalize by putting him into a folding press for pin fall attempt: 1...2...TH-Kick Out! Undaunted, Kane pulls the champion off the mat by the mask and then nails him with a wicked knife-edge chop to the throat that sends the masked man reeling back into the ropes! WHOO! Brad proceeds to Snapmare his rival down to a seated position, and then follows up by nailing him in the back with a brutal soccer-style kick! THWACK! Natalie gasps as she watches her husband cringe in pain, and then goes very pale as she watches BK back up and nail him with an even harder kick to the lower spine! THWACK! Kane then bounces off the ropes and connects with a THIRD kick to the spine and breaks out into a slightly sadistic grin as he listens to the crowd let out a loud "OOOOOOOOOOOH!!!!" in response! ~
Franks: Dear God! Those kicks are doing an absolute number on Terminus and you have to wonder how much more this man's back can take!
~ BK then proceeds to bounce off the ropes once more somersaults forward into a Rolling Necksnap that causes the champ to collapse onto his back, and then quickly dives on top of his opponent for another cover: 1...2...THR-Kick out! Kane doesn't seem all that fazed about the fact that his rival was able to kick out, and simply pulls him up by the arm and whips him back first into the nearest corner before following him in with a Running Corner Yakuza Kick. Terminus slumps to a seated position in the corner, and Kane follows up by vaulting out to the ring apron and then slingshots himself back into a Seated Corner Dropkick that catches the masked man flush in the face! Kane gets to his feet and scrapes the sole of his boot across his foe's face a few times before racing off the the ropes and nailing him flush with an Ole Kick! Terminus looks to be nearly unconscious by now and certainly is in no position to defend himself when Kane pulls the masked man up by the hair and then sinks in a front face lock before running up the turnbuckles and twisting off into a Tornado DDT that spikes his rival head-first onto the mat! Megan is shown cheering her husband on as he quickly makes his way over to where his opponent lies and drops on top of him for the cover: 1......2.......THREENO! Kick Out at 2.999999999999~
Quadros: Kane is throwing everything that he can at the champion in order to put him away, but Terminus keeps finding ways to avoid defeat! Still, he looks to be in pretty rough shape, and if Kane can wear him down just a little more, he might be able to end the match pretty soon!
~ Natalie lets out a sigh of relief, while Megan shakes her head for a moment before urging Brad to keep the pressure on. Brad seems to hear his wife's words, for he simply takes a deep breath and pulls his rival back to his feet, before booting him in the gut to double him over and taking him over into a Butterfly Suplex. Keeping the double underhook applied, Kane executes a second Butterfly Suplex, before pulling him up to his feet and dropping him across his knee with a Butterfly Back Breaker! Rather then go for the cover, Kane instead elects to grab his opponent by the legs, and twist him into a high angle Boston Crab! Megan and her children pound on the barricade, and lead the BK supporters in a chant of "Tap! Tap! Tap!" while Natalie pounds on the mat and urges her lover to keep fighting as the Terminus supporters chant "Please Don't Tap!" Freya looks the masked man in the eye and asks him if he wants to quit, only to have the champion shake his head in refusal. Terminus then begins to claw his way toward the ropes, and gradually maneuvers closer to the stands; at that point, Kane makes his task that much harder by converting the hold into an STF!~
Franks: Nice bit of chain wrestling by the challenger, and I think everyone in the stadium has to be impressed by the skill that he's displayed thus far.
Quadros: Well....not everybody...
~Cross and Freddy are shown lounging back in their chairs, not looking the least bit enthralled by the scene that's playing out before their eyes. But everyone else in the stadium seems to be a bit more involved in the match, for the stomping of feet and chanting is deafening as they chant for their favored competitor. For his part, Terminus only seems to hear the voice of his new wife as she screams her support, and this appears to be what compels him to fight through the pain and issue another refusal when Freya asks him if he wants to submit. Kane converts the facelock into a chinlock and begins to bend his rival back into a disgusting U shape, but even though he urges his sister to call a halt to the match, Terminus STILL won't quit and, with a last effort, manages to reach out and grab the bottom cable to force a break of the hold.~
Franks: How in the HELL did Terminus find a way to break that hold!?
Quadros: No idea...but, then again, I think it's just delaying the inevitable, because I think the damage has been done by that STF, and it's just a matter of time before Kane finds the right move needed to put his rival down for good!
~ Kane releases his grip at the count of four and for the first time, starts to look a bit frustrated as he drops into the mount and fires a series of punches down onto his foe's head until Freya admonishes him for using this tactic. BK stares blankly at her for a moment, but then nods his head as he pulls his rival back to his feet and then lifts him up into the hair before dropping him down hard across his knee with a Uranage Backbreaker! The challenger instantly chains this move into an Exploder Suplex that sends his rival flying across the ring, and then breaks into a smile, confident that the AMG Special 3 should be enough to finish matters. That smile stays in place a Kane scrambles over to his stricken opponent, making certain to hook the leg on the cover: 1.........2........THREEEEEEENOOOO! Shoulder Up! Can you believe it!? Brad certainly can't as he levels a hard stare in the direction of Freya, who holds up two fingers in response. Crying "That's fucking IT!" Kane pulls his rival back to his feet, and then proceeds to set him up for the Pumphandle Uranage that serves as his primary finisher! ~
Franks: LMSLBCK!
Qudros: COUNTERED!!!
~ Indeed, as Kane lifts his rival into the air, Terminus is somehow able to grab his opponent around the neck and apply a body scissors with his legs to complete the execution of the Hanging Guillotine Choke! The masked man then lets out a war cry of his own as the throws himself backward into a DDT that spikes his rival head-first to the mat and then wrenches back on the choke even more. Freya now asks Brad if he wants to submit, but is met with a flat refusal in response as he tries to work his way back to his feet in an effort to escape the submission. Terminus rises with him, and then converts the hold into an Arm-Triangle Choke, and then rolls him back down to the mat, before draping a leg across the back of his neck as he chains into a Koji Clutch! Now it's Natalie's turn to lead chants of "Tap! Tap!" and the Kane family's turn to urge Brad to keep fighting as Kane's eyes bulge out in agony as the masked man exerts even more pressure on the submission! ~
Franks: What a match! Kane looked to have his rival on the verge of defeat, but now Terminus has Kane in a word of trouble as a result of the choke that he's applied!
~ Brad's eyes go wide as he grabs he tries to resist the effects of the hold and work his way toward the ropes. Terminus continues to crank up the pressure on the choke, and Kane's eyes start to go glassy; this compels Freya to check his hand to see if there's still fight left in him. It falls...so she checks again...and it falls for a second time. Freya checks for a final time...and it fa-...NO! Kane keeps it aloft and then redoubles his efforts to make it to the cables to break the submission attempt! After several agonizing moments, Kane finally maneuvers close enough where he can drape his arm across the bottom strand; an action that causes Megan to cheer at the top of her lungs and Natalie to let out a frustrated groan. Terminus doesn't seem all that surprised at this display of toughness and simply releases the hold at Freya's count of "four" and gets to his feet, watching a still-woozy Brad struggle to his feet with the help of the ropes.~
Quadros: Well, as much as he annoys me sometimes, you have to admire the champ's cool under pressure right now. A lot of roster members would be losing it right now after watching Kane break a submission like that, but Terminus just seems to want to get down to business and take advantage of the damage that he's caused!
~ Stepping forward, the masked man grabs BK by the hair and pulls him into a Muay-Thai Clinch, and then delivers a series of alternating knees to the head and chest, before capping the sequence with a Falling Facebreaker that sends his foe crashing to the floor near the ropes. Not wasting a moment, the champion then races forward, leaps onto the top strand, and then bounces off into an Arabian Press Moonsault onto his rival before applying the cover: 1.....2....TH-Kick Out! The masked man gets up clutching his ribs, but that doesn't prevent him from pulling his rival back to his feet by the arm and pulling him into a stiff shoot kick to the gut. Cinching in a front facelock to his doubled over opponent, the champ then takes him over into a snap suplex, and then pulls him up and executes a second snap suplex to his rival. Hauling him to his feet once more, Terminus then lifts his rival back to his feet, and then lifts him into Vertical Suplex position before dropping him down into an Ace Crusher! OH! Kane lies inert on the canvas, but the champion seems to have aggravated the rib injury that he seems to have suffered, and it takes a moment for him to recover enough so that he can make his way over and apply the cover: 1........2.........THREEEENOO! Kane kicks out again!~
Franks: Great sequence of moves by Terminus, and you have to wonder if that would have been the finish had he not aggraveted those injured ribs!
Quadros: Yeah, well...no use in saying "What if" in these types of situations. Bottom line is that the match is still going, and Terminus has to find a way to win it if he wants to retain!
~ Natalie mouths the words "Are you kidding!?" and her husband stares wide-eyed at Freya for a moment, and then shakes his head when she holds up two fingers in response. Letting out an audible sigh, the masked man proceeds to pull Kane up by the arm and then whips him into the ropes before bouncing off the strands and hurling himself forward into a Flipping Neckbreaker that causes the back of Kane's head to bounce off the mat in sickening fashion! As the crowd goes ballistic, Terminus rolls to his feet, and then proceeds to make his way to the nearest corner and climbs the ropes as quickly as he can! Once he's reached the top, he stares down at his wife and smiles through his mask as he watches her jump up and down as she shouts her support, and then gives his signature throat-slash taunt before sailing off into the Phoenix Splash that serves as his primary finisher! ~
Franks: TERMINAL VELOCITY!
Quadros: NO! WHAT A COUNTER!
~ The crowd also goes ballistic, for somehow, as Terminus was flipping through the air, Kane found the energy needed to kip up and catch him in the face with a wicked European Uppercut to the chin! The masked man hits the canvas like a ton of bricks, and Kane collapses on top of him for the cover: 1...........2...........THREEENOO! The champion somehow gets a shoulder off the mat at the last possible split-second! Kane flops onto his back and then takes a couple of moments to recuperate from the beating that he's suffered before climbing back his feet and then ascending the turnbuckles as quickly as he can as he watches his opponent struggle to his hands and knees. BK then sails off into a Frog Splash that connects flush across his rival's back and squashes him into the mat! Bk then floats over and then sinks in a reverse arm triangle, and then buries a series of hard knees to the head before flipping into a bridge to complete the MLK Clutch! ~
* SUBMISSION FINISHER POP!*
~ As everyone in the crowd, with the possible exception of the Rat Pack, screams itself hoarse, Kane arches back in order to apply as much pressure as he can to the submission, while Terminus desperately tries to drag himself closer to the ropes to break the hold. The champion pushes himself frog style with his legs toward the strands, and makes a bit of progress toward his goal, but it's obvious that the effort took just about every bit of energy that he had as his eyes start to go vacant. Freya asks him if he wants to submit and doesn't get a response, so she checks his hand and watches it fall...checks it again, and watches it drop once more....checks it for the final time...and watches it stay UP! With everything he has left, Terminus pushes himself forward with his legs just a little bit further and then drapes his arm across the bottom cable; causing his supporters to cheer at the top of their lungs! ~
Terminus supporters: STILL THE CHAMP! STILL THE CHAMP!
~ BK releases the MLK Clutch at four and slams the mat in frustration as he drags himself back to his feet and then glare down at his rival with an expression that indicates his desire to end the match once and for all. Hauling his rival back to his feet by the arm, BK then pulls him into a knee to the gut, and then lifts him up into a Wrist-Clutch Fisherman Buster that deposits the champion head-first onto the mat! AMG Driver! Kane then rolls over and applies the cover, making certain to hook the leg: 1...............2..............THREEEEEEENOOO! Terminus gets his shoulder up once again! Kane lets out a loud roar of frustration as he stares up at the rafters for a moment and his eyes blaze with wild intensity as he then pulls his rival back to his feet by the mask, and then delivers a head butt that sends the champion staggering back into the strands! The challenger then steps forward and connects with the BK Backfist that he was looking for earlier in the match, causing the champion to stiffen before falling straight backward through the ropes before he slides off the apron and lands hard on the stadium floor! ~
* SICK BUMP POP!*
~The masked man lies face-first on the floor, and Natalie lets out an anguished cry as she rushes over and checks on his condition. Freya also looks terribly concerned as she regards the sight of Terminus but manages to keep her emotions in check as she begins the ten count and advises Natalie not to interfere on behalf of her husband. Natalie reluctantly complies and backs off, watching helplessly as Kane slingshots over the top rope and to the floor with a double stomp onto the prone form of his opponent! OH! Kane and Natalie exchange glares for a moment, before BK turns his attention back to his rival as he struggles to his rise and then races forward into his John Woo Front Dropkick that sends his rival flying backward into the barricade that separates the Rat Pack from the ringside area! ~
Crowd: OOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!
~ Kane then rolls back into the ring and outside again to the apron to break Freya's count, and then watches her brother leap onto the second rope and springboard off into an attempted Rounding Plancha Dive onto his rival as the latter pulls himself up with the use of the barricade! NO! Terminus drops out of the way at the last moment, and Kane finds himself hurtling onto the members of the Rat Pack security team that surround Cross and Freddy! The two members of the Rat Pack don't look at all impressed about this turn of events- not that they were looking all that impressed, anyway- and step forward out of their chairs and stand over Kane about being inconvenienced as some of the other members of their security drag him up to his feet and try to remove from the area. At that moment, a more or less recovered PWA World Heavyweight Champion makes his presence known in this matter after he has vaulted to the top rope and sailed off into a spectacular 720 Corkscrew Plancha Dive onto the various parties that have been assembled around the area! WHOA! Freddy and Cross are sent hurtling onto their backs, while Kane finds himself squashed beneath the champion after taking his huge high risk move! ~
* DEAFENING HOLY SHIT CHANTS! *
~ Terminus manages to extricate himself from the assortment of bodies that surround him and then picks up Kane and then hip tosses him over the barricade and to the ringside area. The champion then races forward, steps off the top of the barricade and into a Missile Dropkick that catches Kane in the back of the head just as the latter rises to his feet! BK hurtles forward against the apron and crashes back to the floor, and looks to just about out of it as the masked man pulls him up and rolls him back into the ring. Hopping back into the ring apron, Terminus then slingshots into a Hangover Legdrop onto his rival and then hooks the leg on the ensuing over: 1....2....THRE-NO! Kane gets his hand on the ropes! Keeping the pressure on, the champion pulls his rival back to his feet by the arm and whips him into the ropes before picking him up into a Flapjack and spiking him down hard with an Elevated Sit-Out Facebuster! Terminus quickly shoots the half nelson and rolls kane over into a lateral press, making certain to hook the leg: 1.......2.......THREEEENO! Shoulder Up! ~
Franks: What's it going to take for Terminus to finish his challenger once and for all!?
Quadros: Umm...decapitation, maybe?
~ Taking several deep gulps of air, the masked man waits for his rival to begin to rise, and proceeds to catch then spins himself into a Standing 540 Crescent Kick that clips Kane on the chin! Brad staggers backward and collapses to his knees and the masked man's face lights up with excitement as he sprints forward and then nails Kane in the temple with a perfect Shining Wizard just as The Unbreakable begins to rise! BK's eyes go vacant as he collapses onto his back, and the man Natalie referred to as The Eternal Champion then drops down and applies the cover as Freya drops down to make another count: 1..........2.........THRE-NO! Kane STILL keeps fighting! The champion stares up at the rafters in disbelief for a moment but then nods his head as he decides his next course of action and then proceeds to pull his opponent back to his feet and then doubles him over with a kick to the gut and draws his thumb across his throat before lifting him up into a Small Package Driver, and then converting that move into a tight pinning combination: 1.........2.........THREEEEEEEEENO! Kane somehow finds it in himself to kick out AGAIN! Megan and the Kane family rise to their feet once more as the challenger's supporters make themselves heard!~
Kane Supporters: YOU CAN'T BEAT HIM! YOU CAN'T BEAT HIM!
~ Natalie's mouth falls open in disbelief, as does her husband's as he looks completely shocked at the fact that Kane kicked out once again! After staring helplessly into the crowd for a moment, and then down at his wife, Terminus pulls his rival back to his feet and then tries to lift him up into the Snap Butterfly Piledriver he calls Requiem Aeternam! No! Kane blocks and then counters into a Bridging Back Bodydrop for a pinfall attempt of his own: 1.......2......Terminus does his own bridge to escape and then tries to twist himself into a Backslide attempt. WAIT! Kane rolls backward over his rival's back to his feet and then proceeds to lift his opponent up and spike him down with the Love Megan Package Piledriver! THUMP! Terminus lands head first, but Kane is still feeling the effects of the beating he sustained and it takes a moment for him to roll him for the pinfall attept: 1.......2........THREEE! NO! Terminus kicks out! The match continues! ~
Franks: And now KANE finds a way to regain control, and TERMINUS finds a way to kick out of a high-impact move. What a match! What an absolute war!
~ As the crowd breaks out into dueling chants of "BK! BK!" and "Ter-min-us!", Kane drags himself back to his feet and lets out a loud war cry as he pulls his rival up by the arm and then hooks in the Pumphandle before lifting him up and slamming him down HARD with the LMSLBCK Uranage!!!! As the crowd rises to their feet after watching Kane connect with their finisher, Megan and the Kane kids cheer loudly and a very concerned Natalie watches Freya drop down as Kane applies what appears to be the final cover, and hooks the leg:
Franks: NEW CHAMPION!!!!
ONE...........................TWO.............................THREEEEE!!! NO!!!!
TERMINUS GETS A SHOULDER UP! TERMINUS IS STILL ALIVE!!!!
* OFF THE CHARTS FIGHTING SPIRIT POP! *
~ Now it's Kane's turn to register surprise as he stares down in shock at Terminus, and then lets out another angry yell as he pulls his rival back to his feet and then tries to lift him up into Torture Rack Position in order to nail the Reckless Killing Psycho Driver! NO! Terminus counters into a Rana, which is converted into a pinning combination: 1....2....Kane reaches up with his legs and counters by powering his rival's shoulders to the mat for a pinning attempt of his own: 1....2....Terminus somersault backward to escape, and then tries to take his rival's head off with a buzzsaw kick as he rises! Ducked! BK counters by chopping out his rival's legs from beneath him, and then springs to his feet and catches his rival in the face with the JAK Trigger Kick as the champion rises! Terminus crashes onto his back, and Kane proceeds to dive on top of him for yet another pin fall attempt; 1.....2.....THRE-NO! The Eternal Champion kicks out AGAIN! ~
Franks: I think that we can safely state by now that it's going to take something truly dramatic to end this encounter!
Quadros: Ya think...!? Well, Kane certainly seems to know that, and it looks like he's going to try right now!
~ Natalie and Megan shout support to their spouses as they watch kane let out still another battle cry as they watch Kane haul his rival to his feet by the arm and whip him into the corner before following him in with a Corner Shining Wizard! A series of rapid fire chops to the chest follow, before Kane picks his rival up by the leg and places him in a seated position on the top rope. Kane then ascends the turnbuckles and then sets up his rival for the Kirisute Gomen Avalance Brainbuster that's meant to finish this match for good! WAIT! Terminus blocks the attempt and then somehow finds the energy needed to shove Kane off of the corner and back down to the mat. Brad springs to his feet, just in time to be taken down with a brilliantly executed Swan Dive DDT off the top rope. Both men remain on the canvas following that last exchange, until Terminus kips up, earning a massive pop from the fans and an ecstatic, hopeful cry from his wife at ringside! ~
Crowd: THIS MATCH RULES! THIS MATCH RULES!
Franks: And now the momentum swings back to Terminus, and HE'S looking for a way to end this encounter and give his new wife a perfect wedding gift! What an amazing match!
Quadros: Yeah...both of these guys have put on a hell of a show!
~ Nodding in the direction of Natalie, Terminus then scales the turnbuckles, and then proceeds to leap off and perform his vaunted Phoenix 450 Splash....connecting HARD onto his prone rival's chest! The Canadian appears to have knocked the air of his lungs in the process, and crumples to the mat for a moment before finally rolling over and applying the cover, with the hook of the leg as Freya drops down to toll the final three count:
Quadros: TERMINUS RETAINS!!!!
ONE.....................TWO.....................THREEEEEENOOOOOO!?
KANE GETS A SHOULDER OFF THE MAT! KANE IS STILL IN THIS!
* THROUGH THE ROOF ARE YOU KIDDING SHOW OF RESPECT POP! *
As the Kane family goes utterly ballistic, Terminus flops back onto his back for a few moments, taking deep breaths in order to stave off the effects of frustration and exhusation, before finally sitting up and casting a dubious glance in the direction of Freya, who looks sympathetic as she holds up two fingers in response. Shaking his head in resignation, the champion climbs off the canvas and begins to scale the turnbuckles once more, looking to hit the Terminal Velocity once again! WAIT! BK somehow finds it in himself to scramble to his feet and then proceeds to climb up after his rival and put him in a Torture Rack before sailing off into the RECKLESS KILLING! THUMP! Terminus crashes head first to the canvas, and Kane crawls over and drapes an arm across his rival's chest for the cover:
Franks: This HAS to be it!!!!
ONE.....................TWO.......................THRE-NO!
NO!
Shoulder UP!
Quoadros: NO WAY! NO DAMNED WAY!!! KANE CHANNELLED RECKLESS JACK AND STILL COULND'T FINISH TERMINUS!
~ Kane slams the mat in fury about the fact that his opponent has just joined only a handful of people to have ever kicked out of this move, and then vents his frustration by applying a front facelock and diffing in with some more knees before hauling his rival to his feet and taking him over into a Backdrop Driver, before chaining back into the facelock and digging some more knees! Terminus desperately tries to scramble free, since he realizes that his opponent is trying to set up the AMG Special Finale, and manages to maneuver close enough to the ropes to drape his leg across the bottom cable just as Kane flips back into the MLK Clutch! Freya manages to pry her brother off of his rival, and advises him, much to his chagrin of the fact that the match shall continue, which causes BK to glare down at Terminus and mutter "not for long" as he prepares to finish things off once and for all! ~
Franks: Kane's going for the Finale once more, and if it's, then this match is DONE!
~ Once again, Kane pulls his rival back to his feet and prepares to take him over into another Backdrop Driver...NO! Terminus flips out of it and lands on his feet behind his rival. Before Kane can react, the champion grabs him and takes him down with a Hangman's Neckbreaker across the knee! After taking a moment to gather himself, the champion pulls his rival back to his feet, applies a Butterfly Lock, and then spikes him with the Requiem Aeternam! OH! WOW! Terminus rolls back through the hold to his feet while keeping the Butterfly Lock applied and then proceeds to flip forward into the "Butterfly Destroyer" that he refers to as THE LAST WORD!
* THAT'S ALL SHE WROTE BIG MATCH FINISHER POP!*
Kane's head bounces off the mat and he lies motionless on the canvas as Terminus rolls over and collapses on top of him for the cover:
1..............................2..............................THREEEEEENO!
Quadros: ARE YOU KIDDING!? KANE GETS A FOOT ON THE BOTTOM ROPE! WHAT THE HELL IS IT GOING TO TAKE TO WIN!?
Terminus seems at a loss for what to do as he sits on the canvas and shakes his head, listening to the sound of Kane supporters, and his family, break out into more chants of "You Can't Beat Him!" It seems for a moment that he might be agreeing with them, but, in the next moment, he stares down at Natalie, and then nods and smiles in her direction, before pulling his rival up and twisting him violently to the canvas with a nasty Corkscrew Neckbreaker! The Persistence of Time! Springing back to his feet with a renewed burst of energy, the PWA World Heavyweight Champion vaults to the top strand of the nearest corner, and then nods down at his wife, before flying off into a mid-boggling Double Rotation Moonsault onto his rival, eliciting a joyous cry from Natalie in the process!
Franks: SNOW FALL! SNOW FALL! TERMINUS JUST CONNECTED WITH HIS WIFE'S FINISHING MANEUVER!
Quadros: Now THAT'S a wedding gift!
Having connected with this move, the champion then flops on top of his rival and applies the cover, making certain to hook both legs!
ONE.....................TWO......................THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
*DING! DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!*
* UNEARTHLY MY GOD THAT MATCH WAS LEGENDARY RESPECT POP!*
Ferdinand: Here is your winner......and STILL PWA World Heavyweight Champion.......TERRRRRRMINUSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
~ Moments after the bell rings, the crowd rises to their feet. Natalie charges into the ring and gives her new husband the biggest hug ever as she yells her lungs out in complete joy. Freya has a slight smile on her face before handing a still-seated Terminus the World Heavyweight Championship Title. As the newlyweds celebrate, Freya stares at her brother as he climbs to his knees and shakes his head in discouragement before rolling out of the ring and making his way over to his family. After giving a disappointed Megan a hug and kiss and wiping her tears from her eyes and telling her something that causes her to smile and nod, Brad then goes back over the barrier and slides back into the ring before making his way over to where Terminus and Natalie stand and stares at the two with a blank expresion on his face. Freya looks at the two, wondering what might happen between the two of them. ~
* CROWD GOES QUIET IN ANTICIPATION *
~ After a pause, Brad sticks his hand out, wanting to show Terminus respect. Terminus clasps the hand and then urges the crowd to show their respect for Kane, which they seem only to happy to do. Terminus then stares at Natalie and says something that causes her to regard him strangely, before she nods and extends her hand out to him and mouths the word "Sorry". Brad pauses and stares at her for a moment before chuckling slightly as he accepts the handshake and mouths the word "congratulations" and then gives a relieved Freya a hug before sliding out of the ring and making his way back toward his family, accepting the cheers of the crowd as he does so all the while. Freya gives Nat and Evan a big hug, looking pleased about the fact that everything has been worked out, and then exits the ring and heads over to the Kane family as they applaud the newlyweds for a moment before exiting en masse up the entrance ramp. Terminus and Nat remain in one another's arms and smile as they watch the Kanes exit, before staring with wonder into their eyes as the scores of thousands of fans continue to give the two an extended standing ovation. ~
Franks: Well, the man who was once a huge joke became the man to give Terminus the fight of his life! Brad Kane has nothing to be ashamed of, and if the rumors are true concerning the fact that he and Freya are considering retirement then they can at least say that they went out in style. Brad gave a performance that will be remembred for many years to come, and he and Terminus provided us with one of the classic encounters in this federation's history.
Quadros: I hate to agree, but I pretty much have to. Hell of an effort by Kane, and hell of a night for Terminus who retains his PWA World Heavyweight championship in an EPIC encounter AND gets married! Hard to top that, isn't it?
Franks: Yeah, but it will be interesting to watch him try in the weeks to follow. That is all the time we have, folks...thank you for watching Vow 2 and we'll see you at Violation 60! Good night!
