Hardcore Championship Match
Mike Zybala vs. Travis Deacon Hall
"Ready to Die", by Andrew W.K. begins playing throughout the arena moments before Mike Zybala walks through the backstage curtain. He casually walks down the ramp with a smile on his face; all while he embraces the fans reaching out for high-fives as Zybala approaches the ringside area. Moments later, he reaches ringside and slides into the ring before walking to his corner being careful to avoid all of the scattered weapons in the ring.
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. Upon reaching ringside, Travis climbs the brief set of steel stairs before climbing into the ring.
John Cartwright: I've been waiting for this match, I can't wait for them to start duking it out!
Randy White: I hear you there John, these two will certainly leave it all out there in the ring.
The referee calls for both men to approach the middle of the ring and they do so while being careful to not step on any of the weapons in the ring. Once both men are standing nearly ontop of each other; the referee explains that the match is a Hardcore match for the title, and that the winner of the match will become the Hardcore Champion. Seconds after explaining these things to the two contestants, the referee slightly backs up before calling for the opening bell to signal the start of the match.
John Cartwright: Here we go!
Then the two men lock up and it doesn't take long for Travis Hall to scoop up Mike Zybala up only to slam the man right onto a baseball bat! The force of the slam causes the beveled weapon to cause an extreme rush of pain to Zybala's back as his face instantly lights up from the shock sent to his brain!
RW: Dang, what a vicious blow from Travis Deacon-Hall. He lit the champion up!
Travis wastes no time grabbing Zybala by the head only to begin pulling the man up to his feet when suddenly; Mike nails Travis with a low blow that completely takes the wind out of Mr. Hall who is now hunched over while trying to briefly retreat to buy time.
Zybala picks up the same baseball bat that was driven into his back during the body slam from Travis. Mike then slams it squarely into the hunched over back of Travis Deacon-Hall's! An instant surge of pain send's a previously hunched over Travis into a new position where he's not only standing up but he also has his back arched from the intense blow!
RW: A tit for a tat! Mike Zybala gave the challenger a dose of his own medicine!
Mike quickly drops the baseball bat before latching onto Mr. Hall; belly to back, and upon completion of latching onto him; Zybala goes to lift Travis up into the air but Travis is able to prevent the slam by wrapping his leg around Zybala's. Seconds later, Travis Deacon-Hall slams his left elbow squarely into Mike's nose which instantly causes the Hardcore Champion to release the challenger as he stumbles back a few steps.
Travis quickly turns around and with a grimace on his face, the challenger appears to put a lot of power into his pattoned, "Last Call Superkick". Yet, Mike Zybala shows cat-like reflexes as he narrowly dodges the would-be blow and the crowd cheers loudly as the champion once again grabs Travis belly to back before swiftly executing a belly to back suplex that causes Mr. Hall's back to be slammed directly onto a steel chair! Travis instantly yells out in pain while he grasps at his back.
Zybala forcefully shoves Travis down onto the matt in order to go for a pin and the crowd cheers.
JC: It looks like Travis's aspirations of becoming the Hardcore Champion might be extinguished!
Referee: 1..2! Kickout!!! *Crowd, "Aww".*
RW: No they weren't; Travis is still a threat in this match!
Mike gets back up to his feet before latching onto Travis Deacon-Hall's hair and pulls the man up to his feet only to get a quick poke in the eyes that temporarily blinded the champion. Zybala stumbles back a few steps while he tries to regain his vision but this was the first moment of temporarily being blinded; the much more prominent blindness comes in the form of a, "Last Call Superkick"; one that squarely finds it's mark this time as the champion crashes on the map. Travis goes for the pin to a mixture of cheers and boos.
RW: That's it, the Last Call has been made!
JC: Don't sell Mike Zybala short, the fella knows how to win matches and he's demonstrated that many of times Randy!
Referee: 1..2..3!
JC: Told you John, congratulations Travis Deacon-Hall on becoming SFT's Hardcore Champion!
RW: Indeed, I agree with John. We wish you the best of luck in future title defenses; may you bring some stability to this title! Mike Zybala, it was a good try and I've got no doubt that you'll recover from this match before pushing onto greater tasks in the future!
Winner and the new Hardcore Champion: Travis Deacon-Hall!
Main Event (Intercontinental Championship Match)
Jay Impact vs Mr. Amazing
The bell rings as Amazing and Jay stand across from each other. Amazing tries to lock up with Jay and does. He tries to move Jay which causes a problem because Jay isn't budging. Amazing backs away from him for a moment to figure out what to do but Jay strikes quickly with a right hand to the side of Amazing’s head. Amazing falls to the ground!
JC: Jay is starting out good.
RW: Mr. Amazing just needs to find out what Jay's weakness is.
Amazing gets up on his feet and throws a right hand himself and it staggers Jay, so he does it again and this time it moves Jay more.
Amazing stomps on Jay’s foot and that makes Jay take steps backwards. Amazing is now throat chopping Jay down, but it only works for so long before Jay swats him down to the ground. Jay grabs Amazing by the waist and throws him to the outside!
RW: Jay taking control now.
Jay goes to the outside but Amazing is there waiting and he throws fists at Jay and has Jay down on one knee. He knee’s Jay in the jaw before sliding back into the ring, the ref who has been counting the entire time is at the count of 7.
Jay leaps into the ring at the count of 9 to Amazing’s dismay!
JC: Amazing thought he had the win there.
RW: He thought so.
Amazing hits two German suplexes on Jay, followed by a loud thunderous spine buster that would rattle anybody's insides.
Amazing hits The Perfect 10 and goes for the pinfall!
1…
2…
3!!
Winner, and the new Intercontinental champion....MR. AMAZING!!
JC: That was a hard fought match!
RW: But in the end, Mr. Amazing is our new Intercontinental champion!
Suddenly we see Cassandra standing on the stage at the top of the ramp and she is smiling as she looks down at Jay in the ring. She speaks into her microphone.
Cassandra: Well Impact... You've gone and lost yet ANOTHER one of your titles. You couldn't hold onto the Hardcore title, and now you just couldn't hold onto the Intercontinental title. I always said you were a loser. So now all you have left is the World Title. But I just know that you'll lose that one too.
Cassandra: Well, you know what Impact? I think that it's time for ME to be the one to take it away from you!
Cassandra: I am going to be the one who makes you finally lose EVERYTHING!!
Jay is in the ring looking angrily at Cassandra! She is looking back at him with all seriousness on her face!
JC: Cassandra just said she's going to take the World Title away from Jay!
RW: And make him lose everything!
JC: She has been taunting Jay for weeks, just waiting for the right time to challenge him and now tonight she's done just that! She wants to take the World Title away from him!
The show fades off the air!
