Eric Dillinger vs. Marty Poppins

[Marty Poppins makes his way down to the ring with Positive Pete in tow. Poppins is busying toying with balloons, making random bends and twists, as Pete is there patting him on the back saying something to him.]

Bill Hughes - I don’t see why Pete is even allowed anywhere near this guy. He hasn’t done anything for Poppins. The guy is still nuttier than Chinese Chicken.

Jack Gene - At least he’s not struggling anymore. Which you have to admit, that’s an improvement.

Bill Hughes - Yea, I guess you’re right. When you can get someone to stop eating paint chips that’s gotta be some kind of improvement!

[Poppins is busy toying with his balloons as “Never Let it Die,” blares on the arena PA. Eric Dillinger steps out onto the ramp wearing his usual fight gear. The crowd is a bit mixed as some are happy to see him back, but most still remember him for the jerk he was.]

Wayne Inkster - And now, coming to the ring from San Antonio, TX... Weighing in at 255lbs... “The Bastard Icon,” Eric Dillinger!

[Eric walks to the ring and slaps the hands of the few fans that reach out to him, but being sure to keep his eyes on Marty Poppins the whole time as he does. Marty, meanwhile, has looked up from his balloons and begun to squint his eyes at Eric as if he recognizes him.]

Bill Hughes - Dillinger looking good for his first time back so far.

Jack Gene - But we’ll see if all that time away from the ring has been a detriment or a much needed break to recharge the old batteries.

Poppins - Grandpa!

Bill Hughes - Grandpa?

[Marty stands and stretches out his arms as Eric nears the ring. Poppins charges in and tries to hug Dillinger as he hops onto the apron, but Eric ducks and shoulder blocks him so that he falls backward into the ring. The Bastard Icon waits for him to stand and regain his senses before leaping to the top rope and spring boarding off with a giant clothesline that floors his opponent. The crowd pops as both men impact the mat.]

Bill Hughes - Jesus, I never knew Dillinger could fly!

Jack Gene - Now ya do!

[Eric pulls Poppins up by his hair and throws him back first into the turnbuckle. He works him over with knees to the midsection before wringing the arm and whipping him.]

Jack Gene - Poppins reverses the whip!

[And Eric goes back first into the turnbuckle. Marty regains what little senses he has and quickly loses them again.]

Poppins - Grandpa!

Bill Hughes - What’s with all this Grandpa nonsense?

Jack Gene - I guess he thinks Dillinger is his Grandpa.

Bill Hughes - Well, he better come to his senses quick because that’s the last man on Earth you want to mistake for your Grandpa!

[Marty throws his arms out nice and wide and charges Dillinger again, but the Bastard Icon catches him in mid-run and brings him down onto his knee with the STB. Marty writhes in pain as he tries to get away to the outside, but Eric pulls him feet first into the middle of the ring on his stomach. He drops the elbow across the back of his head and locks in a side headlock. Marty attempts to get to his feet, but Eric just muscles him back down to the mat.]

Bill Hughes - Dillinger has dominated this match from the get go tonight.

Jack Gene - Sure enough. All Marty has attempted tonight were a series of hugs and unless we changed the stipulations before the match its not going to get him anywhere.

Bill Hughes - Look! I think Poppins has a hug on Dillinger now!

[The camera zooms in and, sure enough, Poppins is just hugging Dillinger’s waist with a drooling, otherwise autistic smile on his face.]

Marty Poppins - Grand... pa...

[Seeing, or feeling, that Poppins has begun to drool on him Eric lets go of the headlock and pushes his opponent away from him. Eric is puzzled by Marty, but is still dug in and ready to pounce on his opponent should he try to attack. Poppins is slow to get up, but he comes to a knee and then the other before he sees Dillinger. Eric takes a step toward him and Poppins is right up on his feet running to the corner. He grabs another balloon and blows it up. Quickly he ties it off and shows it to the crowd.]

Jack Gene - It’s a snake!

Bill Hughes - A snake?

Jack Gene - Yea, a snake.

Bill Hughes - He just blew up a balloon. To call it a snake would be like calling one of my craps a lump of gold.

[Marty walks over to Dillinger and shows it to him, who just slaps it out of his hand before slapping him one across the face. This causes Marty to run back into his corner and grab another balloon. After blowing it up he climbs the turnbuckle and hugs it, being sure to keep it out of Dillinger’s line of sight.]

Jack Gene - I think he’s upset that Grandpa didn’t like his snake.

Bill Hughes - It was just a regular balloon! A stupid balloon, damn it!

[Eric is beside himself as he puts his hands on his hips. He looks over the crowd and shrugs when inspiration hits him. Eric walks halfway across the ring and holds his arms outstretched toward Poppins. The crowd reacts warmly which causes Marty to look up from his treasured snake and at the arena. It’s not long before he turns and sees Eric there.]

Poppins - Grandpa?

Bill Hughes - Oh, don’t tell me we’re actually going to see this.

Jack Gene - I think we are!

[Poppins looks scared, but Dillinger only smiles and nods. He motions with his outstretched hands that its ok to come hug him. Like a scalded dog Marty slowly comes to and stands. He wipes his face and begins to smile when he stretches out his arms as well. Dillinger gives him one last nod of trust.]

Jack Gene - He’s doing it!

[Marty flies off the top rope, but Dillinger moves and catches him on his shoulders. Marty’s eyes go wide.]

Bill Hughes - Thank God! I thought I was going to lose my lunch for a second.

[He trots Marty to the center of the ring before throwing him over with a fireman’s carry slam, but as he does Eric brings his knee up and slams it into the back of his head!]

Bill Hughes - Holy cow! What a version of the Go 2 Sleep!

Jack Gene - Eric told me earlier in the night he’s calling that one the Go 2 Hell!

[Mary is seemingly laid out cold after the knee shot, but Eric drops down onto him. He straddles his shoulders and locks the arm closest to him underneath Marty’s chin with his right hand and snakes his left arm through the hole and to rest on the back of his head, completing a cobra clutch. Now Eric leans back and pulls hard so that Marty is awakened from his comatose state and begins yelling in pain. With his free arm he immediately begins tapping.]

Jack Gene - And Dillinger’s done it! He put away Marty Poppins with a Cobra-clutch crossface!

Bill Hughes - How about we just call it the Cobra Crossface?

Jack Gene - Good enough for me.

Wayne Inkster - And here is your winner... “The Bastard Icon,” Eric Dillinger!

[“Never Let it Die,” hits as Eric gets up from the mat and exits the ring. As he does, though, he stops and picks up one of Poppin’s snakes from before. He hands it to a kid ringside, pats his head, and walks off to the back, slapping the hands of the fans as he goes. Poppins, meanwhile, exits the ring and snatches it from the little boy. He kisses it and cradles it like a baby before Pete grabs hold of him and usher him to the back.]

Bill Hughes - That boy just ain’t right. 

A Health Update on Arick Wills

[The scene shows Dr.Andrews working on Arick Wills ankle in a room inside Cleveland General. Dr. Andrews informs Arick Wills that his ankle has been fractured. Damian Knight and Zana Knight are standing by the side of Arick Wills to make sure he is okay.]

Arick Wills - [screaming...] THAT BLOODY [bleep]ING BITCH IS GOING TO PAY!!!

Damian Knight - And that mother[bleep]er Boris Drago is going to have hell to pay as well. They done [bleep]ed with the wrong folks here in WMW. This night is not over yet.

Arick Wills - Your right Damian. This night is not over yet. Go out there and take  care of business. Damian as my enforcer I think you know what to do.

Damian Knight - I know exactly what to do.

[Damian Knight and Zana Knight exit the medical room, as Dr. Andrews begins to tape up the ankle of Arick Wills. Arick Wills has a sick sadistic smile on his face as the camera shot goes back to ringside.]

This Is Graveyard Shift

To his left a hand shoots out of the dirt in front of a gravestone, followed by the rest of the arm, and then the rest of the body of Jade. She climbs out of the ground and brushes herself off. Like AWS Man(Also Known as Bill), her clothes look rotted and ripped. 

To AWS Man(Also Known As Bill)'s right, the same thing happens. Up from the ground comes Jordan Keyser. He looks much the same as the other two. One by one, from graves all over the cemetery the entire WMW roster climbs up out of the ground. Finally, from a grave in the center of all the others and about twenty yards in front of AWS Man(Also Known As Bill), Kronin comes up out of the ground. He stands, catches sight of AWS Man(Also Known as Bill), and stares at him, breathing heavily. 

AWS Man(Also known as Bill) looks around at the rest of the roster and speaks quietly.]

AWS Man(Also Known As Bill) - Huh...how freakin' bout that...

[Kronin starts forward at a walk, and the masked man heads for Kronin. The two start running, and just before they meet Jordan takes Kronin out with a huge clothesline. Jade makes contact with AWS Man(Also Known As Bill) with a flying kick, and all four of them are immediately brawling. It takes mere seconds for the entire roster to get involved, and soon the entire cemetery is engulfed in one massive brawl. The camera catches sight of an elderly caretaker walking along the outside wall of the cemetery, a hood over his face. As he passes in front of the huge iron gate he pauses and looks out over the brawl. He whips the hood back to reveal his identity, WMW's own Brad Johnson. He smiles as he watches the fight.]

Brad Johnson - Ladies and Gentlemen...welcome to Graveyard Shift.

Nobody gets out alive.

[And we fade.]

HH10 Buildup > Father Nathan vs. Scott Vyper

Writer: Jordan

Father Nathan vs. Scott Vyper

Writer: Rob

Jack Gene - It's just about time for the Ace Superior Title match now and Father Nathan will see if he can keep his dominant streak as the Ace Superior Champion going.  He was half of the fighters of the week last week and was voted Fighter of the Month earlier on for his dominance this month, all while being less then 100% due to the injuries he suffered against Hecate at Hardcore Hell.  Now he takes on another Hall of Famer, and former 3 time Great Lakes Champion, Scott Vyper.  Bill?  Can Vyper become a 2 time ASC here tonight?

Bill Hughes - I sure as hell hope so.  I'm tired of this priest  coming out week after week, lecturing all of us about how much holier then us he is and all that...

Jack Gene - Umm.. unless he's seeing you in your dressing room before the shows, I don't know what you're talking about.  Nathan makes it known he is here to help people, but  I haven't seen him come out and rub people's faces in what he believes. 

[The camera shot switches to show Wayne Inkster in the ring.]

Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, Burn 2010 continues right here, live from the WMW Arena!  Our next match is set for one fall and it is for the Ace Superior Championship!!  Introducing first, the Challenger.  He hails from Chicago, Illinois and stands 6 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing in at 248lbs.  He is the Wrestling Messiah and a WMW Hall of Famer, SCOTT VYPER!!!

["Broken Hands" by Lamb of God blasts from the PA and the lights in the arena go blue with strobe lights flashing along with the song. Scott Vyper walks out, looking over a booing crowd. Vyper smirks and walks towards the ring. He walks up the steps and steps through the ropes into the ring. Vyper climbs the turnbuckle and raises his arms in an X formation.  Vyper then rests against the turnbuckle, waiting for the bell to ring.]

Jack Gene - Well here comes Scott Vyper, it should be noted that the last time Scott Vyper fought for the Ace Superior Title was in a cage match against Kronin.  A match he ended up winning via escape from the cage, so he's proven he can win the title.  But Father Nathan has been impossible to unseat lately from the mantle of Ace Superior Champion.  All in all, this should be a great match up.

Bill Hughes - Yeah, with any luck, tonight will be the night Scott Vyper finally gets the respect he deserves and ends Father Nathan's reign all in one swoop.

Wayne Inkster - And introducing his opponent.  He hails from Dublin, Ireland and stands 6 feet, 4 inches tall, weighing in at 250lbs.  He is the reigning and defending WMW Ace Superior Champion, he is FATHER NATHAN!!!

['The Blood of Cu Chulainn' plays over the PA and Father Nathan comes out from the back, the Ace Superior Championship slung over his shoulder.  He pauses for a moment at the entryway, making the sign of the cross before looking up to Heaven for a moment and mouthing something hard to make out before looking down to the ring and pointing at Scott Vyper as he makes his way down, absent his trademark cross.  Nathan glances to the crowd as they cheer loudly for him and nods as he gets into the ring.  Vyper paces back and forth and waits until Father Nathan climbs through the ropes before charging forward and nailing Father Nathan in the head with a kick that sends him toppling back through the ropes and to the floor.  The crowd boos loudly at the sneak attack but Vyper grins and slides out of the ring, grabbing the title belt and waiting as Nathan tries to recover before running forward and nailing Nathan on the head with the belt, sending him toppling to the ground.  Vyper pulls Father Nathan to his feet and whips Nathan to the guardrail and then charges in after Nathan, spearing the priest right in the ribs against the guardrail.]

Jack Gene - And Scott Vyper going right back to his old tricks here, fans.  Vyper was so sure he's the better man but he has to resort to cheap shots?

Bill Hughes - Or maybe, he's giving Nathan a taste of his own medicine.  Let's not forget Nathan injured Vyper's ribs, leading to an injury that has caused Scott Vyper to have the worst month of his professional life!  I don't blame him for being angry about it!

[Scott Vyper stomps away at Father Nathan's ribs on the ground before finally pulling Nathan to his feet and leading him back to the ring and then rolling him into the ring and following him in.  John Law calls for the bell and as Nathan struggles up to his feet, Vyper cuts him off with a series of right hands sending him back to the mat.  Vyper raises his arms up and plays to the crowd who showers him with boos.  By the time he turns though, he is stunned as Nathan jumps up and nails Vyper with an uppercut, sending him staggering back into the ropes as Father Nathan drops to a knee and quickly stands back up to his feet, raising his fists and taking a boxing stance.]

Jack Gene - Well this match has officially started now, after Vyper's little sneak attack on the outside of the ring.  It looked like Vyper was in control, but he took his eye off the ball for a split second and the Champ made him pay for it, with a nice jumping uppercut.

Bill Hughes - Yeah, well, that's okay.  Vyper will take control of this match back soon.

[Scott Vyper uses the ropes and comes off, trying for a clothesline but Nathan ducks and both men run, hitting the ropes on the side they were facing, coming back charging at each other and have the same idea at the same time, nailing each other with clotheslines at the same time, sending each man to the mat hard.  After a few seconds, both men rolled over onto their knees and get to their feet.  The two move up to each other in the ring and begin trading right hands but it's a short exchange before Nathan begins to get the advantage with a series of punches to the ribs alternating rights and lefts before coming up and nailing Vyper with a right cross, left cross, right cross and is about to throw another punch but Vyper cuts him off with a kick to the groin.  John Law steps in and warns him about the low blow but Vyper argues that the kick hit the thigh as Nathan drops to his knees, holding his groin.  Vyper then pushes Law back and runs to the ropes coming back towards Nathan, planting his foot in Nathan's face, dropping him to the mat.  Vyper then drops down and rains down right hands on Nathan.]

Jack Gene - And Vyper with the blatant low blow there.  Then he had the gall to argue with John Law over where the blow landed!

Bill Hughes - Scott Vyper is a highly trained fighter, Jack.  If he says he didn't kick Nathan in the groin, I believe him.  Nathan, on the other hand is a former soccer player and we all know their penchant for faking injuries.  John Law should be lecturing Nathan.

[Scott Vyper finally gets off Nathan and pulls him to his feet, whipping him towards the corner, but Nathan reverses it, sending Vyper into the corner and charging in after him and nailing him with a clothesline before climbing up to the second turnbuckle and raining down right hands of his own.  The crowd begins to count the right hands and gets to about 5 or so before Vyper picks Nathan up and steps out of the corner, turns a bit and then drops back, dropping Father Nathan ribs first on the top rope, hanging him up, before the ropes dump him off onto the floor below.  Vyper slides out to the floor after him and once more begins stomping on Nathan's rib cage once more, stopping to argue with some of the fans at ringside before running and punting Nathan in the rib cage as he tries to get up.]

Jack Gene - And just as Father Nathan gets things going his way, Vyper is able to cut it off.  He seems to be focusing his attack on the ribs of Father Nathan, possibly to try and take the Price of Sin off the table?

Bill Hughes - Well, it is Nathan's only real finishing move, Jack.  If Vyper can prevent Nathan from using the Price of Sin, he has a great chance to win. 

[Vyper pulls Nathan to his feet and bounces his face off the apron before rolling him into the ring, coming in after him, pulling Nathan to his feet and whipping him into the ropes.  As Nathan comes off the ropes and towards Vyper, Vyper catches Nathan and tries for a Belly to Belly Suplex but Nathan blocks the attempt, landing on his feet and then hits Vyper in the gut with a knee, taking him to the mat with a Northern Light Suplex holding the suplex move into a pin.  John Law drops down and gets to 2 before Vyper kicks out.  Nathan gets to his feet and pulls Vyper to his feet, but Vyper nails Nathan with a low blow before getting to his feet and nailing Father Nathan with a high impact DDT, rolling over into a pin attempt, grabbing the back of Nathan's pants, trying to gain extra leverage, but John Law see the illegal pin and refuses to make the count, causing Vyper to jump up and begin arguing with John Law again.]

Jack Gene - And Nathan trying to get the match back going his way, but Vyper takes another shortcut to try and cut him off, but John Law refuses to count the illegal pin.

Bill Hughes - He's obviously biased!  I'll bet Law's a Catholic and is likely bound by some weird religious duty to ensure Nathan wins.. 

Jack Gene - ... You know Ohio has a very high percentage of Catholics, yes?  As does the U.S. and we're now being broadcast all over the country.  I'd think about that before you open your mouth and say something stupid.

Bill Hughes - Ha!  If they're fans of Father Nathan, they can't do anything to me, because that'd be a sin!

[Jack Gene shakes his head as in the ring, Vyper grabs Father Nathan's legs and trying to lock in the Venomlock but Nathan tries to fight the move but Vyper finally manages to lock the move in, causing Nathan to cry out in pain as Vyper's version of the sharpshooter is locked on, his hands flaying out towards the ropes, trying to reach them and after a long struggle, he finally makes it, causing John Law to call for the break, but Vyper keeps the hold on until the count of 4 before he finally breaks the hold and then turns and begins stomping on Nathan's back until Law steps in and backs Vyper off as Nathan uses the ropes to pull himself up, leaning heavily on the ropes trying to catch his breath.]

Jack Gene - Well, the Champ has been against the ropes a lot tonight.  Vyper has been in charge of this match for the majority of the time so far.  Father Nathan will need to find a way to turn things around if he plans to retain his title tonight.

Bill Hughes - Well, his luck is about to run out.  I can smell it.  Vyper is gonna become a 2 time Champion baby!

[Vyper charges forward and nails Father Nathan with a clothesline knocking him over the ropes and out to the floor again.  Vyper smirks and basks in the boos of the crowd and then finally comes out to the floor after Nathan and pulling him to his feet and whips Nathan into the ring post, causing him to grimace in pain.  Vyper charges and then tries to hit Nathan with a clothesline but Nathan ducks out of the way and Vyper slams into the ringpost shoulder first.  Nathan wastes no time in grabbing Vyper's arm and wraps it around the ring post hard, causing Vyper to drop to a knee, holding his right shoulder, gritting his teeth in pain.  Nathan picks up Vyper's arm and wraps it around the ringpost again and then comes around, pushing Vyper into the ring, following him in.  Nathan then grabs Vyper's right hand and locks it behind him in a hammerlock before picking Vyper up and dropping him to the mat with a backdrop like move while keeping the hammerlock on, causing Vyper to writhe on the mat in pain, holding his shoulder.]

Jack Gene - Well, Vyper's shortcuts have finally come back and bit him.  He tried to take Nathan out of the match but Nathan avoided the clothesline and that has led to Vyper injuring his shoulder, which Nathan has focused on to get this match back under control.

Bill Hughes - And if Vyper had done that, you'd be ready to crucify him for it.  Nathan isn't acting very priest-like at the moment.

[Father Nathan pulls Vyper to his feet and whips him into the ropes.  As Vyper rebounds off the ropes, Nathan tries for a powerful clothesline but Vyper ducks.  Vyper hits the ropes and charges back towards Father Nathan and tries for a clothesline but Nathan reverses the hold, spinning him around and takes him to the mat face first and then locks in the crippler crossface move he calls the Sinner's Redemption.  Vyper yells out in pain as the pressure on his neck and shoulder increases.  John Law drops down to check for the submission as Vyper tries to fight off the hold, trying to turn his body to try and reach the ropes.]

Jack Gene - Sinner's Redemption!  Father Nathan counters with the Sinner's Redemption and seems to have caught Vyper completely off guard!

Bill Hughes - No!  He has to try for his Price of Sin move!  Vyper is prepared and can counter that!!

[Nathan increases the pressure and manages to prevent Scott Vyper from making it to the ropes and as John Law continues to check for a submission, Scott Vyper's free hand comes out, hovering over the mat for nearly a minute before he finally cries out and taps out, causing John Law to call for the bell.]

Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, the winner of the match and still WMW Ace Superior Champion, FATHER NATHAN!!!!

Jack Gene - and Father Nathan manages to defend his title one more time and he adds another big notch to his belt in beating Hall of Famer Scott Vyper!  I think if Father Nathan ever loses his belt, he'll be a shoe-in for the GLC division. 

Bill Hughes - God Damn It!  How does this guy ALWAYS manage to win?!

[Father Nathan receives his title from John Law and holds the title over his head looking up to Heaven again and smiling as he hugs the title close and leaves the ring and walks up the entryway as Vyper get to his feet and rolls out of the ring kicking the steel ring steps, obviously very upset about the loss and storms out of the ringside area, holding his shoulder.]

Louie Cwik Gets A Reaction From Scott Vyper

Scott Vyper - Listen, you and I can sit here and discuss this victory all we want Cwik... Nathan put up a damn good fight. I can bitch and moan all I want about the loss, but that's not going to do you or me any good now is it? The time for a real champion is now... no more fake 80 rockstars, no more fake preachers and pastors, no more masked retards, now is the time for a true champion. Someone the kids can emulate. Someone adults SHOULD emulate. It may be the lost Ace Superior title right now... but just as jesus turned water to wine... it'll only be a matter of time before I change the ASC... TO G..L..C!

Jade vs. Ryven

Writer: Amanda

Jack Gene - And now folks, it's time to go to the first of our two big main event matches.  Jade vs. Ryven to decide the Shoot Title.  We used to think there was a lot of mutual respect between these fighters, Bill but this week has proved that wrong.  It's been a real war of words with Ryven taking the first shot, making comments to WMW Hall of Famer Umbrage that Jade "Wasn't dedicated enough to the Shoot Title."  and that he needed to pick up the slack because of that.  Well, Jade certainly didn't take that lying down and fired back with some very sharp, biting remarks on ESN's Deacon's Law, even going so far as to call Ryven a coward, say he's all talk and even implied that he's not pulling his fair share of the workload.

Bill Hughes - Well Jade was totally 100% right!  Ryven shows up more or less when he feels like it and expects everything handed to him!  Then he has the gall to say that Jade isn't dedicated!?  Jade's been fighting a full schedule here, especially as of late and has been building up the Shoot Division as she does her other scheduled events.  I hope Jade beats the ever living crap out of Whyyven tonight.

Jack Gene - Wouldn't you hope for that anyways?

Bill Hughes - Pretty much, but Whyven being a douche just gives me extra reason to hate him.

Jack Gene - Well, Ryven has not been seen in the WMW since he ended Valora's career, but even still Jade will have an unusually steep road ahead tonight.  She has had a full schedule with the MTL tournament.  On top of that, the injury to Hecate and Druscilla at Hardcore Hell has had her at the hospital a lot and just when Hecate was beginning to recover, there was that tragic accident where she was struck by a hit and run driver.  Despite her best efforts, Jade has not been her usual, stoic almost Vulcan like self.  We have seen glimpses of raw emotion from Jade, once against the Black Friar and now recently when she tore into Ryven.  Her weight has dropped down to 145... Bill, how do you think the odds are on Jade winning tonight?  What's she gotta do?

Bill Hughes - Well, the odds on these two are close Jack.  But if you ask me, to win the match, Jade needs to end this quickly.  I don't think she can stand going the full 3 rounds with Ryven.  Ryven knows the stress Jade is under and he'll be picking her body apart in there.  For Jade to win, she needs to win decisively and quickly.  Round 1 if possible, but no later then round 2.

Jack Gene - I think you're right on the money there, partner.  The longer this fight goes, the more it will favor Ryven.  It should be noted too, that Burn 2010 and this fight especially is being broadcast live throughout China tonight.  Jade's countrymen will see her fight live for the first time here in WMW.  I think that knowledge has to be weighing heavily on the champ too.

Bill Hughes - Yeah.  I really hate to say it, but Whyven definitely seems to be going into this match with all the momentum.

Jack Gene - He sure does there, but now, let's go into the ring and Wayne Inkster to get this thing started!

[The camera switches to Wayne Inkster in the ring.]

Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, the next match is the first of two main events for Burn 2010 and it is for the WMW Shoot Championship!  It is also a Lion's Den match meaning the match will be fought under Mixed Martial Arts rules!  There will be 3 5 minute rounds.  The only way to win is by knockout, submission or judges decision at the end of round 3.  Introducing first, the challenger. Hailing from Cleveland, Ohio!  He stands 6 feet, 3 inches tall and weighs in at 205lbs.  He is the Mentalist, RYVEN!!!!

['Grounds for Divorce' by Elbow plays and the crowd erupts into violent boos as Ryven makes his way out and pauses on the entryway, looking at the crowd and sighing, shaking his head, walking to the Lion's Den, ignoring the boos and cups flying in at him as he focuses dead ahead at the Lion's Den, climbing inside and making his way to his corner, waiting for his opponent to make her way out.]

Jack Gene - Well, as we suspected, this crowd still remembers the Ryven vs. Valora match in which Ryven ended Valora's career, and it seems they haven't forgiven him for it yet, either.  That Lion's Den cage might be a blessing as it will serve to protect Ryven.

Bill Hughes - Yeah.  Personally, I'd like to remove those barricades and let the crowd in on him.

Jack Gene - Bill!

Wayne Inkster - And introducing his opponent.  Hailing from Llhasa, Tibet, China.  Standing 5 feet, 8 inches tall and weighs in tonight at 145lbs.  She is the reigning and defending WMW Shoot Champion, she is JADE!!!

[A sound of lightning breaks out and the lights in the arena flash to simulate a lightning bolt. After a few seconds, the Videotron comes to life. On the video tron, Jade's name appears with a Chinese Character in the background. Then a great Easten Jade dragon is shown circling around a landscape, then lightning seems to come down and strike the stage in front of the entryway causing a burst of green, silver and gold pyro have the dragon lunge towards the camera with mouth open as a roar escapes it's mouth, echoing through the arena

After a few moments, Music from the Jade Dragon Concerto (Great Muta Concerto) plays over the PA and Jade seemingly walks through the pyro and flames of the Dragon, walking out in a determined, methodical pace before finally stopping in a fighting stance as her overcoat flutters in the air before displaying a flurry of punches and kicks, ending up with her making a few martial arts movement and clinching her fist as a final burst of pyro goes off behind her. She then narrows her eyes and runs down towards the ring, one foot barely touching the ground before lifting off and moving, her black overcoat fluttering around her Chinese style boots and black hot pants with a silvery white owl symbol on her hip, while her Black halter top bears the Jade Dragon wrapped around her right breast, the WMW Shoot Title around her waist.

Once she reaches the ring, Jade jumps up and lands on the apron in a handstand before vaulting over the ropes and landing in a fighting stance, in one motion taking her overcoat off and tossing it aside as she retakes her fighting stance, eyes locked on her opponent.]

Jack Gene - And here comes the champ.  Jade looking really focused and she still looks like she's well.. slightly displeased, I guess would be the polite way to say it...

Bill Hughes - She definitely means business.  Last time we saw her get even a bit angry before the Black Friar was against Jordan Keyser and she nearly broke his leg!

[The judges get ready as John Law takes the Shoot title and shows it to the two fighters and then holds it up over his head and then hands the title to Wayne Inkster who leaves before the cage door closes.  John Law orders the two fighters to touch gloves and they do, trading words with each other.  The bell rings and Ryven smirks, saying something to Jade that prompts her to slap him across the face.  Ryven smirks and nods and the two back up a bit, taking a fighting stance.  Ryven tries to dart in but Jade catches him with a brutal kick to his knee that sends Ryven back a couple of steps.  The two then circle around each other for a few seconds, both scanning the other for an opening and a couple of times, both move in to attack at the same time, only to pause and drawback when they see their foe ready for it.]

Jack Gene - And this match is starting off about like we would expect, both fighters circling around, looking for that opening.  War of words aside, both fighters know they can't afford to make a mistake against the other and are showing each other a lot of respect in the ring. 

Bill Hughes - Boring!  I want some action, man!

[Jade darts in and tries a side kick but Ryven sidesteps it and lands a solid right jab to Jade's face that sends her staggering backwards.  Jade recovers and tries to come in again but Ryven throws a couple of right and left combinations, keeping Jade at bay.  Jade tries to counter-punch, but Ryven blocks it and tries for a hiptoss but Jade lands on her feet and a immediately plants a solid kick to the back of Ryven's left knee, dropping him to a knee, Jade follows the motion of the kick, spinning around 360 degrees and nails Ryven in back of the head, sending him to the mat bringing a big cheer from the crowd as John Law checks Ryven out.]

Jack Gene - Wow!  An amazing move by Jade there!  Not only did she block the hiptoss, but in one kick, she dropped Ryven to a knee and followed the motion of her kick all the way through 360 degrees and came back and kicked Ryven in back of the head, amazing!

Bill Hughes - Jade's studied martial arts literally her entire life, Jack!  Whyven is in over his head and nearly got his head knocked off there!

[In the ring, Ryven gets up and nods that he's alright before charging right at Jade and catching her offguard, taking her down with a double leg takedown, raining down rights on her furiously, Jade managing to do a good job of defense but more then a few right hands of Ryven find their way through.  The beating goes on for about 20 seconds or so until Jade is finally able to maneuver her body and catches Ryven's hand, quickly locking in a Triangle Choke.  But she doesn't have it on long or really cinched in before Ryven rolls through, breaking the hold and as both come to their feet they exchange a flurry of blows at each other as the crowd cheers wildly as kick after kick lands on Ryven's body and punch after punch from Ryven lands on Jade, neither fighter giving an inch to the other as they beat the hell out of each other.]

Jack Gene - Well there you go then, Bill!  You're getting your action now as Jade and Ryven are just trading blow after blow with each other in the center of the Lion's Den!

Bill Hughes - And even better, it seems like Jade is winning!

[Indeed, it does seem that way as Ryven eventually backs up a few steps, holding his ribs and nodding his head, rethinking his strategy.  Jade stands her ground, almost daring Ryven to come in against her and Ryven eventually does just that, moving back up and throwing a few punches, but Jade steps inside the punches and bats them away, wing chung style before landing fist after fist dead center of his solar plexus as she keeps her elbows tucked behind her fists hitting him with both speed and power and sending him staggering backwards.  Jade winds up and goes for her big finishing punch after the 10 or 12 shots to the chest but Ryven catches the fist, only to get nailed by another roundhouse from Jade.  The crowd lets out another roar as Ryven shakes his head and punches the cage wall in frustration, turning back to face Jade as he paces around.  This time Jade gives him no rest and pelts his left knee with another big kick, sending Ryven limping back a bit as he sizes Jade up.]

Jack Gene - Jade is in the zone tonight!  No matter what Ryven tries to do, Jade seems to have the answer!  She's really got the mentalist of the WMW on the defense at the moment here!

Bill Hughes - Well, I don't think he's all that smart.  He deliberately provoked Jade when he of all people has claimed to know just how good she actually is.  Now, he's finding out first hand how right he was.

[Ryven charges in and tries for a kick of his own, but Jade raises her leg, blocking the kick with her shin and then, without even putting her foot on the ground, snaps a kick off that nails Ryven in the face.  Ryven, stunned by the move momentarily drops his hands and Jade hops back and jumps forward, planting her version of the Super Kick, the Jade Kick, right on Ryven's chin, sending Ryven toppling flat onto his back.  John Law comes in to check, pushing Jade back to her corner and then looks to Ryven.  Ryven slowly gets to his feet, looking somewhat dazed.  Law is in the process of checking him out when the bell for the end of round 1 rings and the fighters are sent to their corners.  Jade walking back to hers, looking very confident, Ryven being helped back to his corner, still looking dazed from the near knockout blow.]

Jack Gene - Saved by the bell!  Jade caught Ryven in a big mistake on his part and she very nearly knocked him out cold!  If I'm Ryven, I'm thinking it's definitely time to change my strategy here, but what strategy do you go to, Bill?

Bill Hughes - What Whyven does best, run and hide.  He's got no guts, Jade was dead on and she's going to pick him apart here.  She's banged up his ribs and body, his head, and his left knee.  Ryven is hurting all over and has had very little offense on Jade.

Jack Gene - Well, you're right there, Ryven is definitely in trouble at the moment as we head into round 2.  I think it's obvious that Jade won round 1, which means Ryven really needs to find a way to get the offense going here.

[The bell rings for Round 2 and both Jade and Ryven come out to the middle of the Lion's Den, both fighters assuming a fighting stance and circling around each other again.  Jade comes in first, throwing a quick jab at Ryven but Ryven catches the arm and takes Jade down with a hiptoss, immediately rolling over and locking in an arm bar but Jade smartly rolls over onto her side, preventing Ryven from locking the move in fully and the two quickly end up in a ground fighting exhibition, throwing various strikes and blows at each other as they struggle for advantage over the other, which ends with Ryven baiting Jade in and locking in the triangle choke, Jade struggles to get out of the hold but Ryven has it locked in tight and doesn't let go.  Jade's movements start to slow as John Law checks for the submission.  Finally, in desperation, Jade lashes out with her free hand, hitting a vital nerve cluster/pressure point on Ryven's thigh, causing him to yelp in pain and break the hold.  Ryven rolls to his feet and angrily complains to John Law that the nerve strike was illegal and Law seems to agree, warning Jade not to do it again, but does not DQ her as he did not see the exact blow.  Jade turns to Law and begins arguing with him as well and Ryven takes advantage, darting in, grabbing Jade and burying three hard punches into Jade's kidneys, bringing a resounding chorus of boos from the crowd.  As Jade turns to defend herself.  Ryven meets her with a vicious elbow shot that sends Jade toppling to the mat.  John Law gets in Ryven's face and warns against the kidney shots but Ryven just nods, backing off and waiting to see if Jade will get up.]

Jack Gene - And wow, what an opening for round 2 fans!  Jade and Ryven picking up where they left off but some controversy there as both fighters either used or were accused of using illegal moves.  Bill, do you have any information on this?  I know the kidney punches by Ryven were illegal, but do we have info on nerve strikes?

Bill Hughes - Well, I think Jade should be able to use any move she wants to beat Whyven, but that's just me.  However, I wanna know why Whyven wasn't DQ'd for those blatant kidney shots. 

[Jade gets up, a small cut on her face from the elbow shot.  Jade wipes her hand on her face and notices the blood and stares at it before narrowing her eyes, dropping back into a fighting stance and telling Ryven to come at her again.]

Jack Gene - And wow folks, Jade is... yes, Jade is bleeding!  We've never seen her opened up in a Lion's Den match before, or another other match that I can recall... and she does not look happy.

Bill Hughes - You're forgetting the iconic ladder match between her and AWS Man for the Heartlands title, Jack.  But yes, this is only the second time a WMW crowd has seen Jade bleed and she looks like she's about ready to kill Whyven for it.

[Jade continues to stand in place.  Ryven stands where he is as well, the two staring each other down as the crowd goes wild.  Finally, Ryven shrugs and charges in and the two exchange punches, trying to get through each other's defenses until Ryven plants a knee in Jade's midsection, doubling her over.  He hooks Jade's arms and drives knee after knee into her face, after about three knees or so, Ryven jumps into the air and drives the point of his elbow into the back of Jade's head, sending her back to the mat.  Rather then waiting for John Law to check on Jade, Ryven rolls Jade over and locks in the arm bar, causing Jade to grit her teeth in pain as she tries to roll over on her side towards Ryven to reduce the pressure on her arm and elbow.  Ryven, for his part, tries to keep the hold locked in but eventually is forced to break it, both fighters getting to their feet, Jade lashing out with a couple of quick, sharp kicks to Ryven's left knee, keeping him at bay as both fighters plot out their next moves.]

Jack Gene  - Well, so far, round 2 is going well for Ryven.  It looks like he's not done in this fight and you have to ask yourself if maybe Jade's hectic schedule as of recent is starting to catch up with her. 

Bill Hughes - I'm not ready to desert Jade just yet, Jack.  She's still preventing Whyven from finishing the fight and I don't think she's just going to roll over and die for him.

[Ryven comes in and throws a right cross but Jade pivots on her heel, avoiding the blow and nails Ryven with a spinning right handed backfist.  Jade tries to follow this up with a kick to the ribs, but Ryven blocks the move and steps inside Jade's reach, pelting her body with a big combination of rights and lefts to the body.  Finally, in desperation, Jade fires off a elbow blow to Ryven's face, sending him staggering back a few steps as she back off, holding her ribs.  Ryven grins and points to Jade's ribs and tries to come back in, only to be cut off by another two kicks to his left knee.  Jade jumps up and tries to connect with a jump spinning back kick, but Ryven ducks under it and as Jade comes down, Ryven nails her with an uppercut that sends her to the mat flat on her back.  Ryven raises his hands over his head, sure he's knocked her out and the crowd goes crazy with boos.  John Law comes in and checks Jade and Ryven's celebrations are cut off short as Jade struggles to her feet and nods she can continue.  Ryven turns around and looks at Jade, an incredulous look on his face.]

Jack Gene - Wow!  How did Jade get up from that!  That uppercut should have knocked her out cold!

Bill Hughes - I told you man!  Jade just refuses to be beaten here!  Whyven is realizing that firsthand!

[Ryven rushes in and works Jade's body more, taking advantage of his stunned opponent to get up close and personal as he belts her with no less then 10 punches to her ribcage.  Jade tries to fight back and manages to land a few punches to Ryven's body and head as well, but she clearly loses the exchange that continues on for a full minute of the two just standing there trading punches.  At the end of it, Ryven nails Jade with a thrust kick that sends her staggering backwards where Jade takes a knee, blood coming from her mouth.]

Jack Gene - Oh my God!  John Law needs to end this now!  A full minute of the two exchanging punches, and yes, the crowd loved it, they're going wild now, but Jade clearly couldn't defend herself and now she may be bleeding internally!

Bill Hughes - I... I agree with you, Jack.  I'd rather have Whyven win then have Jade seriously injured here and it's clear she won't admit defeat or injury so John Law is going to have to do it for her.

[Ryven circles around Jade, pointing out her injury to her and John Law, ordering him to check her.  John Law checks her but Jade pushes him away and points at Ryven.]

Jade (Yelling) - Come on you coward!

Ryven (Yelling) - You can barely stand!  Admit I beat you!

[Jade shakes her head and mouths the words.  "Never."  Ryven narrows his eyes and shakes his head but then charges in, only to be caught by surprise as Jade hops and plants a knee in his midsection, followed rapidly as Jade nails Ryven with Valora's double elbow slash, hitting him with one vicious elbow shot and a fraction of a second later, bringing the same elbow back and nailing him on the other side of his face.  Ryven stumbles backwards, blood coming from his own face now.  Jade roars out and charges forward, leaping up and planting a foot in Ryven's chest, sending him to the mat hard after he slams into the cage wall.  John Law backs Jade off and checks out Ryven, who pounds the mat in frustration and gets to his feet.  Jade rushes in and tries a Muay Thai style flying Knee but Ryven charges forward and counters the move into a double leg takedown, raining down rights and lefts on Jade's ribs until the bell rings and John Law forces him off Jade.]

Jack Gene - And that's the end of Round 2, and despite some good offense from Jade, I'd have to give this round to Ryven.  Thus far, this fight has been everything we expected and more, going to round 3 and you gotta wonder what another decision victory will do to these two fighters. 

Bill Hughes - I'd have to think that both fighters would consider a decision a loss.  Both have promised that this time there would be a clear winner.  That promise is one that neither of these fighters can afford to break, I think.

[WMW Medical trainers are shown tending to the cuts of both fighters as they drink from their water bottles.  John Law is over in Jade's corner talking to the medical trainers about the ribs of Jade.  When both look to Jade she says emphatically that she is going to keep fighting.  John Law sighs and shakes his head and checks his watch, before nodding to the time keeper to start the third round.  The trainers leave the Lion's Den and the bell rings as Jade and Ryven walk towards the middle of the Lion's Den, the crowd on their feet cheering for the fight to continue.  Ryven and Jade exchange a few words before Ryven tries to nail Jade with a right cross but Jade catches the fist, locking the arm before punching Ryven on the inside of the elbow twice and then turning, taking Ryven to the mat with a Judo style flip/takedown.  Jade immediately tries for an ax kick, planting her foot in Ryven's ribs, forcing him to sit up where she then kicks him in the face, sending him back down to the mat.  She backs off and takes a fighting stance.]

Jade (Yelling) - Get up!

Jack Gene - How much more can these two do to each other?!  I'm amazed either can stand and Jade is yelling for Ryven to get up so she can inflict even more punishment on him!

Bill Hughes - I love it!  If you ask me, the reason Jade has had the success in WMW she has is because she has that killer instinct.  And her association with Scott Vyper only served to make that vicious killer instinct more pronounced.

[Ryven gets to his feet and shakes his head, trying to clear the cobwebs.  Jade unleashes a kick that nails Ryven in the ribs, but Ryven catches the kick and drives his elbow into Jade's knee 3 times before dropping down and sweeping Jade's other leg out from under her, keeping a hold of her kicking leg as he flows into a knee lock.  Jade grits her teeth and immediately begins firing punches trying to break the hold, kicking with her free leg but Ryven stubbornly keeps the lock on, until he's finally forced to break the hold.  Jade works her way to her feet, rubbing her knee, trying to get the blood flowing again as Ryven gets to his feet, smirking towards Jade.]

Jack Gene - Well so far, round 3 is turning into a see-saw battle between the two fighters.  Jade started off with the momentum, but Ryven has answered back and now seems to be trying to taking Jade's legs out of the equation.

Bill Hughes - Yeah, but both fighters are running out of time here, Jack.  Jade is breathing heavily and the sweat is pouring down her.  Ryven's left leg and knee looks like one big bruise and he's also breathing heavily.  Both fighters have to be running low on gas.
