Reaper vs. Louis Cypher (Standard Match)
The lights in the arena go out. Seconds later, the music portion of "Harvester of Sorrow" by Metallica begins to play. The introduction of the song goes on for roughly 40 seconds. Next thing we know, the beat picks up as strobe lights begin to flash through the arena. Then, Reaper emerges from behind the curtain. He smirks at the crowd while maintaining a steady pace down the ramp. Once reaching ringside, Reaper reaches up; Grabs the middle rope and pulls himself up onto the ring apron before climbing into the ring.
JC: Reaper is looking as scary as ever!
RW: Aye, he is but I'm sure his opponent doesn't scare as easy as we do.
Metallica's remake of, "Am I Evil" begins playing throughout the arena. Moments later, Louis Cypher makes his way down to the ring while avoiding any touches or camera shots from any fans.
Upon reaching ringside, Cypher slides into the ring. Louis wastes no time attacking an unsuspecting Reaper with a double axe handle to the back of his head. The jolt from the blow forces Reaper's body onto the turnbuckle as the referee quickly calls for the opening bell to be rung.
RW: What a blow from Louis Cypher. I like his style, he never hesitates to attack.
Louis quickly grabs Reaper belly to back before heaving but Reaper latches onto the turnbuckle before Cypher could suplex him. As soon as Cypher stops pulling, he's stunned with with a thunderous right-handed elbow to the side of his head.
JC: Ouch, that was quite a thud!
Reaper throws a second elbow but somehow a stunned Louis Cypher dunks the would-be blow. The momenteum of the missed strike causes Reaper's body to spin enough to where Cypher grabs him belly to belly. Seconds later, Louis sends Reaper flying with a belly to belly suplex.
RW: Nice reaction from Louis Cypher!
Cypher quickly goes to cover Reaper and he barely gets a 1-count before he's tossed a few feet from where his body previously was. Reaper quickly gets to his feet to swiftly grab the former champion by his throat. Not even a second later, Louis Cypher is lifted into the air before he's slammed to the ground with a Chokeslam. Reaper then pins Cypher.
JC: Reaper wins in a solid debut, welcome back Reaper!
RW: Indeed! Also, I have no doubt Louis Cypher will bounce back from this, the guy has a lot of experience and skill!
Referee: 1..2..3!!
Winner: Reaper
Jack Jones vs. Emerson (Standard Match)
Travis Deacon Hall vs. Cassandra (IC title match)
Rockhouse by Frank Shelley plays over the arena as Travis Deacon Hall makes his way out to the ring followed by his wife Melissa
Hall.
Hall.
Bulletproof by Godsmack hits the arena and the fans cheer loud as Cassandra comes onto the stage. She stands at the top of the ramp for a moment, then walks down to the ring. She gets up onto the side of the ring, then enters through the ropes. She looks out at the fans while keeping a serious expression on her face.
The bell rings and both competitors lock up, Cassandra slips out of Travis's grasps to trip him up with a drop toe-hold. She then
goes to jump on Travis's back but he flings her off before Cassandra is able to grab ahold of him.
Upon hitting the ground, the fiesty Cassandra shows her cat-like reflexes by flipping up to her feet before she preforms a leaping close-line that glances off of the bulkier Travis Deacon-Hall.
The challenger quickly stomps on the back of the champions head before she had the chance to get up to her feet. Travis reaches down to grab Cassandra with both of his hands. With ease, he yanks her back up to her feet before sending her flying with a belly to back suplex. Travis quickly pins Cassandra.
Referee: 1..2.. Kickout!
Travis's eyes go wide as he instantly begins to argue with the referee while smacking his hands together three times in a repeated fashion.
This doesn't go long too long due to Cassandra rolling him up in a pin of her own. She grabs onto the back of Travis's tights and pulls for all she's worth while the referee counts.
Referee: 1..2 Kickout!
Enraged at the underhanded tactics which just went down, Travis gets up to his feet quickly just before superkicking Cassandra squarely in the face as she was getting back up to her feet. He once again goes for the pin.
JC: Congratulations to Travis Deacon-Hall on becoming SFT's Intercontinental Champion!
Referee: 1..2..3!
Winner: Travis Deacon-Hall
