A chant begins of

Aiello: It is great to be here in Helsinki, Finland. The fans are incredible here.
Piven: You say that about everywhere we go. These people are boorish and loud, just your type of people. I can’t wait til we get out of this god forsaken place.
Aiello: Well, I would say you’re an asshole but everyone knows that already. *Listens to his headset* I have just received word that there is a prerecorded message coming in from the local pub by one Kyle Deathlocke.
*********
Kyle smiled as he sat at the bar, sipping on a beer before looking up at the camera.
Kyle: Well, well, well, if it isn’t the infamous EWC. How is everyone hanging there at the arena? I am sure that everyone is wondering why I would be drinking less than 12 hours before my match with BDC. The fact of the matter is that it is none of your damn business whether or not I drink before my match.
He smiles as he orders a shot of vodka. He chases the shot with a beer as he continues on.
Kyle: The reason for this message is that next week when we travel to the glorious city of Paris, France, I will be cashing in my Rage in the Cage title shot against the backwards ass, goody two shoe champion that got lucky in his match at Stranglemania. I am talking about that no talent wannabe champ known as Captain Insanity. *He shoots back another shot of Vodka.* Insanity, you have something that I want and in Paris I plan on taking the international title from your cold dead hands. See the International title needs someone that will act like a champion is suppose to act and that is as if no one else is good enough to be in the same ring as them. You are nothing more than a paper champion and a bad one at that. I hope that you enjoy your last week as champion because once I take that title from you, you will never get it back again.
********
Aiello: Strong words coming from Kyle Deathlocke. The question is: will Captain Insanity accept the challenge? I think……
Piven: No one cares what you think. Word is that there is a commotion going on backstage. Let’s see if we can get a camera crew back there.
********
A camera crew makes it to the area where they found a very irate Captain Insanity being held back by security. Outlaw steps out of his office to see Insanity foaming at the mouth to get away from the security.
Outlaw: What the hell is your problem, Insanity?
Insanity: Did you hear what that moron said from the pub? He is a disgrace to the company. I am going to go teach that asshole what it means to be champ.
Outlaw: You better cool your heels. You will not go looking for him tonight. You are in the Main Event tonight and that is what you should be concerned with right now. Now as for his challenge, I am assuming that you will be accepting it?
Insanity: Yes, I will be accepting the challenge. He will learn that calling me out is the worst thing that you can do.
Outlaw: Fine, you will get your chance next week in the Main Event of the Rampage hour. Just make sure that you make good on your claim.
Insanity relaxes a little as he turns and walks back towards his locker room. Outlaw smiled at the anger that was radiating from Insanity. He turned to the security was standing there. Keep an eye on Insanity. He seems like a loose cannon right now. He chuckled as he went back into his office.
********
Aiello: Wow, Insanity seems very high strung right now. I would hate to be Deathlocke next week.
Piven: I think that is exactly what Deathlocke wants. Make Insanity live up to his name and he will make a mistake that Deathlocke will capitalize on and win the Championship.

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Ianzky De Tornado vs Jamie Moorefield vs Kanon
(VS) (VS)
TRIPLE THREAT MATCH
Ianzky De Tornado vs Jamie Moorefield vs Kanon
(VS) (VS)
The opening match is a triple threat match set for one fall and have a 20 minute time limit. Introducing first……
“The Angle" begins to play and the arena lights randomly flash in a strobe effect highlighting the stage. As the beat kicks in the lights strobe effect wears off and just alternate between different colors. Fog fills on the stage and Kanon comes from the back and steps on stage. Once the fog clears he has his back turned to the crowd. He throws one hand up and spins around and stands there as he rubs his wrist together. He begins to head down the ramp with a slow steady pace.
Making his way to the ring, from Montreal, Quebec, Canada and weighing in at two hundred, forty-four pounds, he is “The Grim Reaper" KANON!
Kanon hops onto the ring apron and rubs his right hand across his shades with a smirk on his face. He steps into the ring and walks to the center of the ring and places his hands on his hips looking around. He walks to one of the corner turnbuckles and stands up straight. He brings his hand across his shades once more and raises his arm into the air. "The Angle" begins to fade as Kanon steps down and walks to the far side of the ring.
Introducing next, his opponent……
After the first line of the song, he will come out from the smoke effects, and walk slowly at the top ramp, then he will climb the ring post, points to the audience, and then he'll do his trade mark back flip on ring posts.
……weighing in at 180 lbs, he hails from Manila, Philippines. He is the ‘Tropical Tornado’, Ianzky De Tornado.
The ref checks the wrestlers before calling for the bell. Both men square off in the center of the ring in a test of strength.
Aiello: Is it just me or are we missing someone from this match?
Piven: The guy probably hyperventilated from the shook of actually making it onto the show.
Tornado won the test of strength with a boot to Kanon’s gut. Kanon doubled over as Tornado smiled at the damage that he plan to do. Tornado picked up Kanon before slamming him back to the mat with a thunderous powerbomb. Not waiting for Kanon to get his bearing, Tornado went for a half nelson slam, only to have it reversed into a reverse STO. Kanon picked up Tornado and landed a rolling snapmare. Kanon went for the cover.
1……
2……
Tornado kicks out of the pin, barely. Kanon groaned as he glared at Tornado before running in for a spear. Tornado saw this coming and stepped out of the way of the move just in time. Kanon grimaces as he steps back from the ring post, holding his shoulder.
Aiello: Looks like Kanon took a little too long on executing the move and paid the price for it.
Piven: I bet that he will feel that in the morning.
Tornado started to pinpoint the injured shoulder of Kanon with arm yanks and knee drops to the arm. Kanon growls as he tries to hide the pain that he was experiences at the moment. Tornado picked up Kanon and irishwhipped him into the ring before hitting a back body drop on him. Tornado hit a leg drop on Kanon before climbing the ropes.
Aiello: Looks like Tornado is looking for the Tornadossault.
Tornado attempted his finisher only to be met with an empty mat as Kanon had rolled out of the way in time. Kanon slowly gets to his feet, shaking his arm to clear the throbbing that was present before walking over to Tornado. Kanon grinned as he bounced of the ropes and hit Tornado in the back with a double knee drop. Kanon locked in a sleeper hold, applying a knee to the back of Tornado so as to put more pressure on the lower back. Tornado gritted his teeth as he shook his head at the ref’s continued questioning of whether he wanted to give up or not.
Piven: Kanon has Tornado right where he wants him. Tornado should just give up and call it quits.
Tornado struggled against the hold and gets his hand on the ropes. Ref calls for Kanon to release the hold before starting the count.
1……
2……
3……
Kanon stretches back on the hold as the count continues.
4……
5…….
Kanon releases the hold as the ref hits five, allowing the match to continue. The toll that the hold had on Tornado was evident in the way that Tornado got to his feet. His back was in pain and Kanon targeted that with a double axe handle to the middle of the back. Kanon knocked Tornado down to the mat before hitting Tornado with his finisher, ‘Hell Bound’. The pin was academic after that.
The winner of this match is……‘The Grim Reaper’ Kanon.
That was a good match and it was an incredible victory for Kanon. I doubt that Tornado is going to let this match go unwarranted. Let’s pause for a quick commercial break.
