| DING! DING! DING!
Immediately following the sonance of the bell ringing thrice, the two men go after each other with an exchange of punches directed at one another's faces. The audience cheers for the immediate burst into action in this Ladder Match for the Hardcore Championship, as Luis looks to gain the Championship after winning a Hardcore Battle Royal a month ago to gain the opportunity to be in this match. Eventually, it's Luis gaining the upper hand and he goes for an Irish Whip, but Riley reverses into one of his own that sends Luis rushing towards the ropes. After rebounding off of the aforementioned ropes, Luis returns with a Big Boot directly to the jaw of Riley. He follows this up with a few stomps to the now-downed Hardcore Champion before leaping into the air and landing an Elbow Drop straight to the heart. Not quite done softening his opponent up just yet, Claudio raises the defending Champion back to his feet before raising him onto his shoulder and Powerslamming him back down onto the canvas. Following this, the challenger exits the ring and goes to introduce the first ladder of the match, which is fairly easy to do with ladders surrounding the ring and entrance ramp. He heads towards the entrance ramp to grab the first ladder over there. Luis picks the ladder up and holds it horizontally as he goes to turn around and makes his way back to the ring, when suddenly Riley goes flying through the ropes, sticking his hands out in front of him and Suicide Diving into the ladder, which in turn gets pushed into Luis! The fans cheer for the move as Riley quickly pops back up to his feet, energetic as ever, and raises a hand in the air to garner even more cheers.
Ted Cedar
"Beautiful Suicide Dive by Riley Williamson, knocking that ladder back into Luis' chest."
Joey Miles
"Come on, Luis, don't let this neverbeen get the better of you! I mean, he took the Tag Team Championships off of that God awful David Michaels, so he isn't completely asstastic, but he still sucks donkey dick."
Now it's Riley whom begins stomping on Luis to weaken him some more. Once he feels he's done enough damage what the stomps, he pulls the strong man back to his feet and proceeds to Irish Whip him directly into the steel steps, Luis' knees crashing into the steps and causing him to flip right over them. After taking Luis down for the time being, Riley sets his sights on his Hardcore Championship. He picks up the ladder that Luis was just holding and slides it into the ring, following in after it. Once in the ring, Williamson sets the ladder up in the center of the squared circle and begins his climb to the top. However, about half of the way up, Riley notices Luis sliding back into the ring out of the corner of his eye. He jumps back down off of the ladder and lands on the canvas before nailing his opposition with a punch directly to the jaw. He follows this up with a couple more punches, slowly backing Luis up to the corner of the ring as he does so. With Claudio's back to the turnbuckles and seemingly nowhere to go, Riley drills him in the mid-section numerous times with Shoulder Thrusts. As the audience continues being firmly behind Williamson, Riley grabs a hold of Luis' wrist and goes for an Irish Whip. This time, however, it's Luis countering the Irish Whip into one of his own, sending his opponent almost crashing into the ladder, but Riley jumps up very quickly, landing on the ladder, and leaping backwards into a Moonsault! The ladder falls over as Riley shoots off of it and lands the beautifully-executed move on his challenger, the fans cheering for his athleticism.
Ted Cedar
"Riley is showcasing his agility and athleticism here tonight, which he needs to do against an opponent as big as Luis."
Joey Miles
"Luis beat Riley before, he can beat him again. Ain't no thang but a chicken wang."
With the ladder having fallen over when Riley Moonsaulted off of it, Williamson slides it out of the way with his foot before pulling his opposition back to his feet. Riley drills him with punch after punch to the head, again backing him up to the corner of the ring. He lands a couple more shots to the face of his adversary before kneeling down and using his shoulders to push Claudio up into a seated position atop the turnbuckle. He then climbs up the turnbuckle ahead of him, landing one final punch before wrapping his arm around the neck of Luis, setting up for a Superplex! Realizing the danger he's in right now, Luis begins to fight back. He lands a couple of punches to Riley's ribs, eventually causing the Hardcore Champion to let go of the Front Facelock he had Claudio in. Luis then take this moment to land not one, not two, but three Headbutts to his opponent, the final one knocking him down off of the turnbuckle and onto the canvas! Riley hits the ring with a thud, but he doesn't stay down for long. As Luis pulls himself up to a vertical base on the turnbuckle, Riley sluggishly makes it back to his feet, albeit bent over with his hands on his knees. Suddenly, Luis leaps off of the top turnbuckle, flying towards Riley and drilling him in the side of his head with a Diving Knee Strike dubbed the Rodilla Voladora! The audience lets out a mixed reaction, mostly consisting of boos for Luis taking the upper hand, but a couple of cheers for the high impact move. Riley instantly drops to the canvas as Luis manages to land on his feet.
Joey Miles
"I believe that's called the Rodildo Voldemort."
Ted Cedar
"Rodilla Voladora, Joey."
Joey Miles
"Potato, pahtahto."
Luis, after getting his footing just right, sets his sights on the ladder that Riley brought into the ring. He grabs a hold of it and yanks it off the ground before heading over to his downed opponent and driving the top edge of the ladder straight into Riley's mid-section. He follows this up with two more ladder shots to the stomach of the Hardcore Champion before tossing the ladder to the site. He then lifts Riley back to his feet and drills him with a right arm European Uppercut and then a left arm European Uppercut, continuing to go back and forth with these moves whilst Riley slowly moves backwards towards the ropes. Once he's gotten Riley plenty groggy, Luis takes a few steps back towards the center of the ring before rushing forward and attempting to Clothesline Riley! Riley ducks out of the way, however, and Luis stops himself before hitting the ropes. He turns around and sees Riley going for a punch. Claudio catches the attempted shot and then pulls his opponent in, wrapping his arms around his body and shooting him over-head with a gorgeous Belly-to-Belly Suplex, Luis not even arching his back, which sends Riley over the top rope and tumbling to the outside! Luis stumbles away from the ropes and again sets his sights on the ladder. He lifts it off of the canvas and holds it horizontally, before looking out of the ring and seeing Riley, having just hit the floor hard, leisurely getting back to his feet. "El Diablo" takes a few steps back to the ropes opposing the side of the ring where Riley is, as he waits for the Hardcore Champion to return to his feet. Once the timing is right, Luis rushes forward, jumping into the air as he reached the ropes and leaping over them, still holding the ladder horizontally in his hands as he does so! The brickhouse of a man flies over the top rope and goes crashing down into Riley, ladder-first, with an over-the-top-rope Suicide Dive! The audience actually pops for the very impressive maneuver, despite not particularly liking the man who did it.
Ted Cedar
"Wow! What a leap from Luis right there! All while holding a full-sized ladder! This man is the perfect mixture of size and speed."
Joey Miles
"Fucking right he is, Deano."
Ted Cedar
"Deano?"
Joey Miles
"Sorry, 2WWF closed again. I'm having Dean withdrawals."
As both men are down, Luis is the first to get back to his feet, which he does relatively quick despite the huge dive he just did. A trickle of blood is seen coming from Riley's forehead. It isn't much, but it does appear the ladder cut his head ever-so-slightly when it connected. Claudio, not one to sympathize, picks Riley back up and throws him back into the ring. He grabs the ladder that he just used and notices it took some damage, so he tosses it aside and picks up another ladder, sliding it into the ring. He then proceeds to pull himself onto the apron whilst latching onto the top rope. Waiting for Riley to get back to his feet in the squared circle, Luis readies himself. Once Riley's standing, albeit a bit staggered, the Puerto Rican wrestler leaps into the air, springboarding off of the top rope and front flipping directly over Riley, landing on his feet behind him and instantly rushing full speed ahead towards the ropes. He ricochets off of the ropes and returns to drill Riley in the back of the head with the most devastating of Clotheslines! After practically taking Riley's head off from behind with that Clothesline, Luis turns his focus to the newly-introduced ladder. He picks it up before heading to the corner of the ring and setting it up horizontally, with each end lying on the middle rope, the ladder in front of the turnbuckle. He then drags Riley over towards the ladder and tosses him over it, onto the other side, near the corner of the ring. He proceeds to pull the Hardcore Champion up onto the top rope in a seated position before Luis makes his way to the middle turnbuckle. As he stands up there, he applies a ¾ Facelock, before leaping off of the turnbuckle and taking Riley with him, busting straight through the ladder with a leaping variant of his Ace Crusher dubbed the Diamantista! The audience lets out a hugely mixed reaction for the maneuver, as Riley lays in the broken ladder and Luis rolls away, having smacked the back of his head off of it.
Ted Cedar
"The Diamantista through the ladder!"
Joey Miles
"As painful as that was, Luis kinda just created a problem. He broke the ladder! That's the second ladder he's damaged tonight. If he keeps this up, he won't have any ladders left to climb! Of course, with his vertical leap, he could probably just jump up and grab the damn title."
Gradually, Luis gets back to his feet, holding onto the back of his head as he does so. He looks around, the realization now sinking in that he just broke the ladder. Noticing that Riley isn't moving, he decides he can win this match now if he's quick enough, so Luis exits the ring and heads up the ramp, grabbing the next ladder up there. He picks it up and heads back into the ring, sliding it in and entering after it. He then sets the ladder up smack dab in the middle of the ring, proceeding to climb it and head for the gold. He's not going at a pace quite as fast as he wants to, due to the fatigue setting in in this match, but he's still climbing, feeling the Hardcore Championship almost being his. He eventually makes it close to the top, coming close enough to just barely touch the title, only to notice the ladder beginning to tilt. This is due to Riley, whom is on one knee, desperately pushing the ladder with all of his might. It begins to fall, but Luis leaps off before just in time to land on his feet and avoids a disaster! Meanwhile, the ladder ends up leaned against the top rope. Once gaining his footing, Luis runs at his now-standing opponent, but Riley quickly shoots his foot into the air, drilling Claudio with a Superkick from out of the blue! The audience pops heavily as both men drop to the canvas, Luis from taking the Superkick and Riley from still feeling all the fatigue of this match.
Ted Cedar
"Riley lands a Superkick out of nowhere!"
Joey Miles
"For fucks sake, your face just broke a ladder. Die already."
The audience claps and begins a "Let's Go Riley" chant all throughout the arena, trying to will the Champion back to his feet. As blood continues to drip from his head due to the cut he suffered earlier, Riley steadily begins to get back up. Hearing the cheers from the fans builds Riley's momentum and he finally reaches his feet, albeit a bit groggily as he stumbles around. He sets his sights on the turnbuckle, which he proceeds to head over to and then ascend. Slowly, Williamson steps onto the apron and then climbs to the very top of the turnbuckle. What Riley didn't count on, however, was Luis getting back to his feet by then. Luis heads over to Riley and grabs a hold of his foot, in an attempt to keep him from leaping off of the top turnbuckle. The Hardcore Champion fights it, kicking with his foot as quickly as he can, and managing to land the soul of his boot into Claudio's face. This causes the Puerto Rican superstar to stumble away, heading towards the ladder that is still leaned against the top rope. Suddenly, an idea pops into Riley's head. He turns his direction towards the ring apron and then leaps into the air, drilling both of his feet into the top of the ladder with a Double Foot Stomp that causes the other half to fly straight up into the air, drilling Luis directly in the face! Riley drops to the outside of the ring, as Luis goes flying backwards, holding onto his nose as blood bursts everywhere! Some of the fans look on in genuine concern, as Claudio rolls around the canvas in pain, screaming and bleeding heavily from his nose. XWA official Ryu Sanu hastily heads in towards Luis, trying to calm him down and get a good look at his nose. Luis moves his hand to reveal the gruesome effects of that ladder hitting his face. While his nose may possibly be broken, the referee is about to call for medics to come out and take Luis out of this match, but "El Diablo" grabs Ryu by his shirt and pulls him in closer to his face, yelling for him to leave it be. "Don't you dare end this match!" he shouts, "I can continue it! I can win it!" The referee, reluctant to let this match continue after what just happened, nods his head to let Luis know he won't be ending it. Luis nods back, letting out a smirk that quickly fades away due to the tremendous pain he's feeling in his nose. The audience cheers for Luis' will to fight, even though he's far from a fan favorite. Meanwhile, Riley rolls back into the ring.
Joey Miles
"Fuck, that looks bad!"
Ted Cedar
"Luis is refusing to forfeit the match, however. This thing will continue for him with a possibly broken nose!"
Williamson tries to go after Luis, but Ryu stops him, telling him that Luis needs a moment to recover. However, Claudio has no intentions of taking a break as he pushes Sanu out of the way and drills his opponent with a punch to the face, followed by a few more that send the Hardcore Champion stumbling towards the ropes. Taking a brief couple of seconds to wipe some blood away from his nose, Luis rushes forward, attempting to take Riley out of the ring with a Clothesline, but he instead ends up being the one to go out of the ring as Williamson ducks down, pulling the top rope with him and Luis goes flying over it and hitting hard on the thinly-padded floor outside of the ring. As the muscular man lies on the floor, Riley pulls himself back up to an erect base in the ring and then turns around, latching onto the top rope. He waits for the opportune moment to strike, which would be when Luis gets back to his feet. At a snail's pace, Luis gets back to a perpendicular base and Riley leaps over the top rope, crashing down into his opponent with a Vaulting Body Press! Following this, Riley gets back to his feet, a tad slowly due to the fatigue. He then looks around as he tries to think of his next course of action whilst his bloodied opponent is on the ground. A metaphorical light bulb goes off over his head as he devises his plan. Williamson heads over to the commentary area, taking the protective top off of the Spanish announce table and also pulling out their television monitors. He holds one of the monitors in his hand as he notices Luis getting back to his feet, proceeding to drill him over the head with it! After taking Claudio down with the monitor, Riley pulls him over to the Spanish announce table and slides him onto it, having him lie short ways so his legs hang off the front of the table. Riley then turns around and heads over to the nearest ladder. He grabs the big thing and, instead of setting it up to the side of his opponent, he places it on top of Ted and Joey's announce table! The fans look on in anticipation for what's about to happen as Riley climbs on top of the commentary table and proceeds to climb the ladder that's atop it. Slowly but surely, Williamson makes his way up the ladder, making sure to be as careful as he possibly can be. Once he finally reaches the top, he stands up straight on the very top of the ladder. Riley raises both hands into the air to pose whilst letting out a loud, warrior-like yell. He then takes a deep breath before leaping all the way off the top of the ladder, bringing his elbow crashing into Luis' chest and busting the Spanish announce table with a huge Elbow Drop dubbed the Blading Drop! The audience explodes into cheers and a huge chant of "Holy Shit" following the gigantic dive from Riley, as both men lay in a puddle of blood, broken wood and bodies.
Ted Cedar
"Oh my God! The Blading Drop through the Spanish announce table!"
Joey Miles
"WOAH THERE, CAMEL!"
Ted Cedar
"...What?"
Joey Miles
"It's a reference to, uhh...Nevermind. Luis, get up!"
Both men are down after the huge fall. The audience's "Holy Shit" chants are still going strong. Slowly, they start to die down as Riley begins to stir in the broken mess that was the Spanish announce table. The audience cheers for him to get in the ring and finish this match. Naturally, it's a bit hard for him to even move after the huge leap he just took, but he's gradually getting back to his feet, albeit while stumbling all over the place. Once gaining his footing, he grabs the nearest ladder and slides it into the ring, following in after it. Once in the ring, Riley leisurely gets back to his feet and sets the ladder up before beginning to climb it. Every step he takes up the ladder's rungs seems to take an eternity for the young superstar, who is closing in on retaining his Hardcore Championship and continuing his history making reign. The audience cheers heavily, the closer he gets, as an exhausted smile appears on Riley's face. He just about reaches the top, when suddenly, Dominik Diveraz hits the ring! Diveraz grabs the unsuspecting Riley by the foot and yanks him off of the ladder before nailing him with the Front Lungblower he dubbed the Matanza! The audience's cheers turn to drastic levels of boos as Dominik has possibly sealed the fate on this match and Riley's title reign. He exits the ring, heading over to the bloodied Luis, whom is desperately trying to get back to his feet. Dominik helps him up the rest of the way and helps him into the ring, via under the bottom rope. Sliding in after his cousin-in-law, Diveraz continues to help Claudio make his way over to the ladder. With Riley still down, Luis starts to climb and the entire audience is deafening with their jeers. Dominik stands guard at the bottom of the ladder to make sure, if Riley even manages to get up, that he can't stop Luis. Finally, Luis makes it to the top of the ladder and it's academic from there. He grabs the Hardcore Championship, unhooking it and pulling it down for the victory.
DING! DING! DING!
Ted Cedar
"What?! Come on! This isn't fair!"
Joey Miles
"No-disqualifications in a Ladder match, fucktard! This is plenty fair! Riley had back-up too, but Jared is nowhere to be seen! Not surprising, really. I wouldn't wanna fuck with La Revolución Hispana either."
Luis climbs down the ladder as Dominik slides out of the ring to get the Hardcore Championship and Ryu raises the newly-crowned Champion's hand.
Laura Watts
"Here is your winner, and the NEW XWA Hardcore Champion, Luis Claudio!"
Luis drops down to one knee, still feeling the effects of this match; most notably the damage to his nose and the Blading Drop aftermath. Dominik slides back into the ring, before helping Luis back to his feet and handing him the Hardcore Championship.
Ted Cedar
"Well, like it or not, we have a new Hardcore Champion. Riley's reign will go down in history, but it's finally come to an end."
Joey Miles
"Good riddance."
With a bloody Luis and Dominik celebrating in the ring, the show fades out to a commercial for XWA's next Pay Per View. |

| Ding, Ding, Ding!!!
On the outside of the ring XWA official Ryn Sanu calls for the bell to get this match officially underway. Almost the second after the bell rings Luis Claudio charges across the ring, not giving Riley Williamson a second to move out of the corner as El Diable charges right into him with a raised knee to the gut. Claudio follows this up with a series of big rights and lefts, just pummelling Riley, throwing blows down upon him as the Floridan lifts his arms up to block the blows from inflicting any real damage to the head. Riley drops down into a sitting position, lifting his boot up and driving it straight into the gut of Luis Claudio, winding him and giving Riley an early out from this rapid fire offence. As Claudio grips his mid-section Riley quickly rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope, dropping onto the outside and using the opportunity to gain his breath having been taken completely by surprise in the opening seconds of this match. Claudio sees him exit the ring and goes after him, refusing to let Riley Williamson get a moment of relief in this match as that is not the person that he is. He exits through the ropes and follows Riley around the ring, gaining ground and grabbing Riley from behind by the hair. The Floridan sees it coming however and quickly drives his elbow back into the mid-section to break Claudio’s grip, Riley quickly rolling back into the ring and scrambling for his feet as Claudio continues to follow after him. As Claudio rolls into the ring and pushes himself up onto his feet Riley Williamson runs the ropes, rebounding and heading straight for Luis. El Diablo sees the move coming and swings his arm out looking for a clothesline but Riley ducks underneath the strike, swivelling on the spot as he wraps his arms around the waist of Claudio, locking his hands together with a waist lock. With the waist lock clinched in Luis Claudio begins to struggle as he attempts to escape it. He, like everybody else inside of the Wembley Stadium, know that Claudio is at his weakest when it comes to technical wrestling just like they know that Riley Williamson is at his strongest in exactly the same situation, which means he can’t let Riley take things into the technical arena. Claudio pushes his fingers down into Riley’s locked hands and begins to prise them apart, using his superior strength to force Riley’s hands apart, Claudio breaking the waist lock before the former New York Native can do anything with it. Claudio grabs hold of Riley’s wrist, swivelling on the spot and then ducking underneath the arm of the Hardcore Champion, twisting Riley’s arm with an arm wringer. Williamson acts quickly to make sure that Claudio can’t turn the arm wringer into anything serious as he drops forwards and forward rolls onto his back, revering the effects of the arm wringer before kipping up onto his feet, driving his free arm down onto Claudio’s wrist and breaking his grip. The Hardcore Champion follows up by grabbing Claudio’s wrist and ducking underneath the arm with an arm wringer of his own. Riley Williamson doesn’t keep the arm wringer locked in long, instead using it as a transition to a move that he’s got plenty of experience with, The Floridan pulling Claudio into a side headlock.
Luis has suddenly found himself in a situation that he doesn’t want to be in and while he attempts to shove Riley away the Hardcore Champion has other ideas, pushing his boot in between the legs of Claudio, sweeping the legs and flipping Claudio over onto his back with a headlock takedown. Now Claudio finds himself with Riley’s arm wrapped around his throat and the entire weight of Riley Williamson. pushing down upon his chest in the process, a less than favourable position to be in. He attempts to use his strength to simply power out of it, to push Williamson right off of him, but the headlock is firmly clinched in and he doesn’t have much luck due to their positioning.
Ted: Riley is doing a good job thus far, in keeping his Luis Claudio down.
Joey: Yeah, he’s doing well now, but let’s see for how long.
With Riley Williamson tightening up his grip on the headlock Luis Claudio knows that he has to get out of this and he has to do it soon if he doesn’t want to have a very early bath. He begins to work at twisting his body, managing to move onto his side which forces most of Riley’s weight off of him though the Hardcore Champion keeps the headlock tightly locked in. Claudio manages to put enough force up onto Williamson’s body to allow him to move onto his knees, pushing Riley up onto his knees at the same time. Slowly Claudio begins to push up on the canvas with his hands and knees, working his way up slowly onto his feet, Riley Williamson attempting to drain the life from him with the headlock but finding that Claudio certainly hasn’t lost any of that durability since their last clash. Riley Williamson keeps the side headlock clinched in as Claudio forces him up onto his feet, El Diablo wrapping one arm around the waist of Williamson, the other hooking under the outside leg of Riley, Luis Claudio proceeding to use his incredible strength to lift Riley up despite the headlock. Claudio’s intentions seems to be leaning towards a backdrop but he doesn’t get that far as Riley Williamson releases the headlock in mid-air, flipping out backwards to avoid the backdrop and landing deftly on his feet. Claudio is quicker however as he swivels back around and drills Riley with a forearm smash, rocking the hardcore champion and sending him staggering backwards. Claudio follows up with a big kick to the gut, winding Riley and doubling him over, Luis grabbing Riley by the head and hitting him with another forearm, this time to the side of the skull. Williamson drops down onto one knee but Claudio doesn’t leave him down there long, grabbing the Hardcore Champion by the head, hauling him up onto his feet and then pushing him back first against the turnbuckle. Riley Williamson is certainly looking like he’s feeling the pain right here and Luis Claudio doesn’t have any intentions on stopping any time soon. Claudio grabs hold of the top of the rope, using it for balance, and then drives his massive boot right into the gut of the man who they call “El Diablo”. The force of the blow is enough to actually take Riley off of his feet for a few moments and Luis Claudio follows this up with a further series of boots to the gut each one looking more painful than the last. Riley’s face contorts in pain as the boot drives repeatedly into his mid-section and his relief when Claudio stops is short lived as the boot of Luis is pushed up against his throat, Claudio literally choking Riley Williamson out right here.
In any other match the official would be forced to step in and begin his ten count but of course this isn’t any other match, this match has no disqualifications, no count outs, Luis Claudio is free to cave Riley’s throat in here if he wants to and there is absolutely nothing that Ryn Sanu can do but watch on and let it happen. Riley Williamson brings his hands up to the boot of Luis Claudio that is making a damn good job at trying to choke the air right out of him. The Tag Team Champion begins pushing against it, at the very least to stop it from outright breaking his neck, and it seems like he is initially having some success, the force being put against the boot causing Claudio to have some trouble with his balance. Of course Claudio, like Riley, is a thinking man’s wrestler and he swiftly changes up his attack by pulling his boot away from the throat and once again driving it straight into the mid-section of the Hardcore Champion, dropping him down onto his knees. Claudio pulls away from the ropes and hooks his hands around the head of Riley Williamson, dragging him up onto his feet and grabbing him by the arm before going for the Irish whip to send him across the ring and into the opposing turnbuckle. However as he goes for the whip Williamson manages to reverse it, flipping their positions and sending Luis Claudio barrelling across the ring. Claudio hits the opposing turnbuckle back first with a big thud and staggers out, Riley Williamson charging across the ring, leaping up and looking for the charging European Uppercut only for Claudio to duck down and simply get his hands out against the back of Riley, pushing up and throwing him across the ring, Claudio slamming down onto his back from nearly 6 feet up.
Ted: What a counter made by Luis Claudio.
Joey: Ha! What did I say Joey? I told you Luis was gonna rebound soon. And Now It Is His Time to shine!
Riley Williamson arches his back as the high angle drop to the canvas sends a shooting pain up and down his spine. Luis Claudio shakes off the shock of hitting the turnbuckle with relative ease and goes straight back after Riley, grabbing a handful of Riley’s hair and dragging him unceremoniously back up onto his feet. With one hand gripping the back of Riley’s head Claudio uses his other arm to deliver a firm right hand, Claudio releasing Riley as he does so and letting him stagger backwards towards the ring ropes. Claudio keeps up his relentless attack by drilling Riley with a hard forearm that connects with the side of Riley’s jaw and sends him falling backwards, the ring ropes being the only thing that stops him from falling right down onto his ass. Luis once again grabs Riley by the arm, pushing him against the ropes before whipping him across the ring into the opposite set of ring ropes. Riley rebounds as Claudio moves forwards and meets him side on, hooking his arm and going for an arm drag. Riley does indeed flip over but somehow manages to land on his two feet, demonstrating what could either be incredible athleticism or incredible luck, before turning on the spot and driving his elbow straight into the jaw of Claudio. Luis Claudio’s hand immediately goes to his jaw after that stiff looking elbow but Riley Williamson isn’t going to give him much time to rest as he sidesteps and then sends his boot out wildly into the side of Claudio’s left leg with a stiff looking kick. As Claudio brings his leg up from the pain shooting through it Riley lifts his hand up and then sends it slapping across the bare chest of El Diablo with a knife edge chop. At this point there’s probably pain shooting through most of Claudio’s body and Riley figures that he may as well add to it, turning his back to Claudio, wrapping his arm around the throat of Luis and then going for a snapmare, only when he goes for the throw over he finds that he can’t lift Claudio because Claudio planted his feet firmly on the mat.
Riley looks almost shocked for a brief moment before Claudio just pushes him full force away from him, Riley hitting the ropes chest first and stumbling backwards right into the grip of Luis Claudio, who wraps his arm around the waist of Williamson, places a foot beneath the knee and then lifts him up before planting the former RSD Champion back first down onto the canvas with a big backdrop. Riley Williamson again arches his back following that backdrop which was probably made all the worse by the fact that he had absolutely no time to brace before the drop. Claudio sits up, rolling onto his knees and hooking his hands around Riley’s head to drag him back up onto his feet, Riley looking pretty groggy following the backdrop and giving Claudio the time to come up with some kind of game plan right here. Of course with how much he wants to hurt Riley right here he seems to simply say fuck it to any kind of game plan and just drills Riley with another stiff forearm to the jaw, Riley staggering on the spot and finding it difficult to stay up. Claudio pulls him in close, hooking an arm between the legs and his other arm over the shoulder and then going for the big lift that generally precedes a body slam. Because he’s not absolutely stupid Riley knows exactly what is coming and he leaps up as Claudio is going for the lift, freeing his legs up from Claudio’s grip and letting him slide out the back of the move, dropping behind Claudio and as El Diablo turns around Riley Williamson leaps up, back flipping and slamming his boot right into the top of the skull of Luis Claudio.
Ted: What a Backflip Kick made by Riley! He may be Five foot Ten, but he is showing some great athleticism.
Joey: You know, he may be great in the ring and all, but from what I’ve heard the guy is horrible in the Bed. This is from what his ex-girlfriends have told me.
Ted: Are you friends with them Joey? Better yet, have you spoken to them about this?
Joey: Nah, I just happen to have my sources…
Luis Claudio actually stays standing following the backflip kick but he’s been knocked for a loop, just swaying on the spot as his eyes seem to glaze over. Riley quickly pushes himself up onto his feet, grabbing Claudio by the back of the head with one hand and using that to make the incoming forearm smash that much more impactful. Riley begins throwing a series of forearm strikes, each one connecting with the side of the Luis’s head and each one backing him up further across the ring until the Puerto Rican Native is leaning back first against the turnbuckle. Riley proceeds to look out at the large crowd and just lets out a massive scream of “England!”, which gets a massive amount of cheers, before pushing his elbow into the jaw of Claudio and just roughly pushing it straight across the face of Claudio with a highly inventive and painful looking elbow strike. Claudio’s hand comes up to his jaw as Riley follows up with a more conventional strike, grabbing hold of the top rope with one arm and using it for some added point-blank momentum on a corner lariat strike to the throat and chest of Claudio. Riley keeps his left hand on the ramp as he leans back and then comes right back in from point blank range with another corner lariat to the neck and chest of Luis Claudio, continuing in his attempt to wear down the Puerto Rican. With Claudio seemingly groggy from the double corner lariats Riley grabs him by the arm and delivers a powerful Irish whip that sends Luis flying across the ring and slamming back first into the opposing turnbuckle. Claudio remains propped up against the turnbuckle while Riley moves forwards to the centre of the ring, turns and charges for the corner opposite Luis, leaping up and pushing off of the middle turnbuckle with his boot for that extra bit of momentum as he charges across the ring and nails Claudio with a vicious European uppercut in the corner. Riley Williamson doesn’t intend to stop at just the one, grabbing Claudio by the arm and once again Irish whipping him across the ring, sending Luis colliding back first with the opposing turnbuckle back first for the second time.
Riley lines the move up and then once again leaps up, pushing off of the middle turnbuckle with his boot and charging for Claudio in the corner, leaping up and connecting with a second high momentum European uppercut in the corner, Claudio cringing in pain as he is not only struck by a vicious uppercut but also crushed against the turnbuckle. As Claudio staggers forwards, grabbing hold of the top rope for balance, Riley Williamson runs the ropes in line with him, rebounding and then charging at Luis, bringing his boot up and looking to connect with a yakuza kick to the side of Claudio’s skull. The Puerto Rican Native is ready and, almost on instinct, ducks down before lifting his shoulder up between the legs of Williamson, the Tag Team Champion being sent up and over the top rope. Somehow Riley manages to grab hold of the top rope as he flies over it and uses it to pull himself down onto the ring apron with a safe landing. Claudio staggers forwards but then he turns, Riley Williamson pulling himself up onto the top ropes and spring boarding off, looking for a flying clothesline, but Claudio once again sees the move coming, managing to wrap his arm around the waist of Riley Williamson as he flies in and then spinning him around before planting him to the mat with a big spinebuster. Riley Williamson is once again left arching his back in pain, Luis Claudio having directed a fair amount of his offence to the spine of the Floridan during this match. As Riley rolls away Luis remains kneeling, using the opportunity to catch his breath after what has been an unsurprisingly action packed opening to this match. He grabs Riley by the hair and proceeds to pull him up onto his feet, Claudio dragging the Hardcore Champion over towards the ring ropes. When they’re right by the ropes Luis pulls Williamson down into a front facelock, bending down and hooking Riley’s arm over his head before lifting Williamson up with the suplex lift. Claudio directs Riley towards the ring ropes, lowering him down feet first onto the ring apron. Claudio releases the front facelock and connects with a stiff right hand that knocks Riley for a loop, Luis stopping him from falling backwards by leaning him against the ring ropes. Luis makes sure that Riley isn’t going anywhere before charging across the ring to the ropes, rebounding off of them and then going for the big boot on Riley, only for Riley to duck down, Claudio’s momentum causing him to crotch himself on the top rope!
Ted: Looks like Riley caught the Boot there that Luis was going for.
Joey: Those ropes aren’t soft Ted, especially on the groin area. His balls must be hurting right now.
Luis Claudio is still crotched on the top rope but the notable thing is that he is facing Riley Williamson head on. Riley backs up to the edge of the ring apron by the turnbuckle, lines Claudio up and then charges forwards, bringing his boot up right into the face of Luis Claudio with enough force that El Diablo’s head snaps back and his body follows, Luis Claudio dropping backwards, off of the top rope, and hitting the ring apron hard back first. Riley leans against the ring ropes, catching his breath, as he watches Claudio roll off of the ring apron and down onto his feet on the outside of the ring. Claudio drops to his knees with his back to Riley as he attempts to get over the pain in both his skull and the crown jewels of the Puerto Rican Native. Riley once again backs away to the turnbuckle and crouches down, signalling silently for Claudio to get up onto his feet. Slowly Luis does so as he shakes off the pain before turning, this being exactly what Riley wanted, the Hardcore Champion charging forward and then leaping off of the ring apron, crashing into Claudio’s skull with a vicious looking Busaiku Knee Lift that sends both men crashing down to the padded floor back first. Both Riley Williamson and Luis Claudio are down on the padded floor but while Riley Williamson had further to fall following the kamikaze Busaiku Knee Lift Claudio also has the knee to the temple to contend with, putting him in a considerably worse state right now. Riley clutches his back for a moment as he rolls onto his hands and knees beside the security barricade, before slowly rising up onto his feet. The crowd continue to cheer him on in much the same manner as they have been doing for the past ten to fifteen minutes since he made his entrance and Riley has no problem encouraging them, throwing up his arms into the air furiously to the front row and getting a massive amount of cheers because of it. Riley simply smiles as he turns around, approaching Claudio who remains on his back, and then drives his boot down onto the shoulder of the puerto rican native who immediately reacts, gripping the shoulder as the Tag Team Champion bends down, hooking his hands around the head of Claudio and going to lift him up. Riley Williamson pulls Luis Claudio up onto his feet on the outside, Claudio still just a little bit too groggy from the diving Busaiku Knee Lift to really do anything about it.
Riley drags him over towards the post at the corner of the ring and then pushes him back first against it, leaning El Diablo up against the solid steel ring post. Riley lets out this evil little smirk as he stares at the groggy Luis Claudio before lifting his hand up and then bringing it straight across the chest of Luis with a vicious knife edge chop, actually drawing a big “woooo” from the crowd here in London, England. Riley seems to get into the mass chant and brings his hand up again, bringing it cracking across the chest of Claudio with a second knife edge chop, the chest of El Diablo starting to turn red from the consecutive chops. Riley screams “one more for the road!!” and brings his hand up again and then goes for the third consecutive knife edge chop, only for Claudio to duck out of the way, Riley’s hand cracking across the steel ring post, Riley’s pained expression showing that that ring post is a hell of a lot harder than the chest of Luis Claudio. Riley Williamson backs away from Claudio and the corner post trying to shake the pain away as his hand feels like it’s been downright cracked in two following that unfortunate knife edge chop to the steel ring post. Of course he seems to have completely forgotten about Luis Claudio but Claudio hasn’t forgotten about him, The Puerto Rican coming in from behind Riley Williamson with a stiff looking martial arts kick to the back of Riley’s leg, taking the longest reigning RSD Champion down to one knee. Claudio moves to the other side of Riley Williamson and throws out a second stiff looking kick that connects hard with the kneeling leg of Riley, snapping the leg back and sending Riley Williamson down onto his knees proper. Riley kneels in front of Luis Claudio, El Diablo looking at his opponent with hate in his eyes before backing up a few steps, charging forwards and then drilling Riley right in the temple with a vicious running boot, Riley just dropping slowly backwards onto his back.
Ted: What a series of kicks made by Luis Claudio to Riley Williamson!
Joey: These Two Men have been beating the Shit out of each other, and yet, No Ladder has been brought to play. I want to see some action DAMMIT!
Riley Williamson lies on his back on the padded floor, his hand pressed against the point where Claudio’s foot met skull. Luis uses the opportunity to shake out the pain going through his body after an extremely physical opening ten minutes but if he gets his way the violence is only just getting started. He walks around to Riley’s head, bending down and getting a handful of his hair, slowly pulling the Floridan up onto his feet before dragging him over towards the ring apron. He spins Riley and pushes him back first against the ring apron, propping him up in a similar manner to how Riley used the ring post moments earlier. With Riley propped up against the ring apron Luis takes a step back and then lines himself up just besides Williamson before firing off up high with a stiff kick that connects right with the chest of the Hardcore Champion. Riley’s hands immediately go to the chest that feels like it’s on fire, his face contorting in pain in the process, but Claudio is far from finished. He grabs Riley’s arms and throws them away to open the chest up before firing off another high stiff kick to the chest of Williamson. Claudio keeps it up, firing off kick after kick, each one connecting with the chest of Riley Williamson until the skin has welted from the vicious impact. Satisfied with the damage Claudio backs up and glances up at the XWA Hardcore Championship that hangs high above the ring almost calling for one of these two men to make the climb. Riley Williamson holds his chest which is so red that you could probably burn yourself by touching it. Luis Claudio steps right back in looking to keep up this offence as he grabs Riley Williamson by the arm and then uses all of his strength to Irish whip Riley Williamson, Riley seeming to flip from the momentum behind the whip as he crashes back first right into the security barricade.
Again Riley is left on the ground holding his back as the fans let out an almighty Boo for Luis Claudio who, unlike Riley, seems mostly not over to the massive crowd here in the Wembley Stadium. He’s completely focused on causing Riley pain and the fans are not appreciative of that. Luis heads right back after Riley, hooking his hands around his head and pulling back up onto his feet, Riley far too stunned from the shock impact of the security barricade to fight back. Claudio gets his grip on the back of Williamson’s head and then turns towards the steel ring steps, he lets out a small war cry before charging forwards and throwing Riley full force shoulder first into the steel steps with such force that the top half of the steps come buckling off. With Riley down and clutching his shoulder Luis Claudio turns his attention to the now separated top half of the steel ring steps. While Riley Williamson manages to sit up against the bottom half Claudio walks over to the top half and slowly hauls them up, his slight struggle showing just how heavy and dangerous those solid steel steps are. The crowd erupt into a loud boo as Claudio carries the steel steps around in front of Riley Williamson, the Hardcore Champion looking up just in time to see Claudio lifting the steps above his head fully intending to crush Riley’s skull with them. Luckily the former New Yorker thinks quick and acts quicker, ignoring the pain shooting through his body and sending his boot flying up into the mid-section of El Diablo. The boot hits hard enough to wind an unsuspecting Luis Claudio, his single mindedness on hurting Riley being a detriment in this moment, and he releases the steps out of pain and shock, the ring steps tumbling down and crashing into the floor with an almighty bang. Riley looks more than a little relieved as he sees them tumble to the ground, he knows how close he came to being taken clean out right there.
Ted: Riley taking Luis down with a quick kick that may have saved him from getting his Brains smashed via the Steel Steps.
Joey: That may have been one of the many attempts of him escaping. But believe me, with this match far from over, and the only way to winning the match is retrieving the ladder, and climbing up to capture the Hardcore Title, there is a definite high possibility of Luis killing Riley with an Object here Tonight.
Luis Claudio is doubled over from the swift boot to the gut and Riley Williamson uses this to his advantage, quickly swivelling on the ground so that his legs are either side of Claudio’s and then quickly pulling them forward, bringing Claudio down with a drop toe hold right on top of the bottom half of the steel steps, Claudio only just avoiding the brunt of the impact by getting his hands out to protect his face. Regardless of that quick thinking by Claudio he still hits hard, rolling off of the steel steps and holding his hands to his face. Riley Williamson grabs hold of the ring apron and pulls himself up onto his feet, still feeling the pain from his own impact with the ring steps just moments earlier. He decides to go with the Claudio plan of attack by grabbing the ring steps dragging them over so that they’re in line with the centre of the ring on the outside and then dropping them there. He walks over to Claudio, hooking his hands around the head of El Diablo and dragging him up onto his feet. He drives his knee up into the mid-section for added measure before pulling Luis over towards the ring apron. Riley lifts Claudio up onto the ring apron, lying him out on it, before pulling himself up after it and grabbing Claudio as he does so. Slowly Riley pulls the puerto rican native up onto his feet and drags him towards the centre of the ring apron, lining him up perfectly with the steel steps on the outside. The crowd can only watch as the floridan tucks Claudio’s head between his legs, a precursor to a powerbomb, and then wraps his arms around the waist… only for Claudio to suddenly lift himself up, using his strength to flip Riley Williamson right overhead, the Hardcore Champion dropping from nearly 6 feet up and coming crashing down onto the ring apron.
Riley Williamson writhes in pain on the ring apron as he manages to roll off and onto his knees on the floor beneath to avoid any further damage being done on the ring apron. Claudio meanwhile is leaning against the ring ropes as he attempts to catch his breath and gather his bearings after that very close call. He looks down at Williamson and drops down off of the ring apron, grabbing the kneeling Riley Williamson by the back of the head and bringing his other forearm clubbing down across the shoulder blades, causing Riley to gasp in pain at the unexpected attack. Claudio hooks his hands around Riley’s head and pulls him up onto his feet, lifting his head up and then bringing it slamming down onto the edge of the ring apron, Claudio once again using the ring itself as a weapon. As Riley staggers away Claudio keeps after him, grabbing him by the head and driving his knee up into the mid-section before literally putting his boot right into the abdomen and pushing the former New Yorker away with it, Riley being sent forcefully backwards into the security barricade behind him. The fans in the front row boo as they are not pleased to seeing Luis back into the match. While Claudio takes a momentary breather and then charges at Riley, only for the floridan to duck down, hooking an incoming Claudio with his shoulder and then lifting him up… and promptly dropping him down waist first onto the security barricade. Luis Claudio is now laid out over the security barricade, his upper half dangling awkwardly close to the fans in the front row who were probably hoping to get close to the XWA stars, just not this close. Riley Williamson leans on the security barricade besides an unmoving Claudio using the opportunity to gather his bearings following Claudio’s recent offences but then seems to have an idea. He motions at one of the fans in the front row to move, and she moves indeed, and as she does Riley leans over and grabs the chair that was leaning against the Barricade, pulling it up and then folding it. as he grabs hold of the security barricade and carefully pulls himself up onto it, the folded steel chair in hand. He seems to be lining Luis up for something when he shouts at the fans in the front row that “I would move if I was you.” Knowing full well that Riley has something in mind. the surrounding fans do the smart thing and clear their seats, moving into the aisle and out of the way of Riley Williamson and the still dangling El Diablo. Riley lines it up and then moves forwards, leaping up and placing the chair beneath his legs as he comes down onto the back of Claudio with a chair assisted diving leg drop that ends with both of them going into the front row!
Ted: Good God ALMIGHTY! What a leg drop! And into the Front Row nonetheless!
Joey: This man is nuts! Why would he do it from there and not inside the ring?!? He almost got the people sitting in the Front Row killed! Had it not been for them moving…
Riley and Luis are now both laying amidst the front row though Claudio is in a considerably worst state having had not only the weight of the Hardcore Champion coming down upon him but also the added steel chair. Riley pushes Claudio away from him with his boot and slowly pulls himself up onto his feet with the security barricade, the Tag Team Champion turning to face the fans all around him and just letting out an almighty raw trying to get them more hyped than they already are. He gets a loud amount of cheers from them in response and he gives them a smile in response back as he kicks some of the chairs out of his way and bends down to pull Claudio back up, not content with the damage he has already done with that leg drop. He pulls Claudio up onto his feet, the eyes of Luis slightly hazy as he is definitely feeling out of it following the chair assisted leg drop but is quickly woken up when Riley sends his right hand rocketing up into his jaw. Claudio staggers backwards, the fans in the front row once again moving out of the way to avoid ending up in the firing line of two men who would likely have no problem with causing a bit of collateral damage if it meant injuring the other.
As Luis Claudio staggers away Riley Williamson ducks in and connects with another right hand to the side of the head that sends the puerto rican native out into the aisle way and away from the front row. Riley pushes past a few of the crowd and exits out into the aisle way after him, the floridan grabbing Claudio, doubling him over and then bringing his elbow down right between the shoulder blades with enough force to drop Claudio down onto his knees. As Claudio kneels, breathing heavily as he has been caught completely off guard by this series of offence from the Floridan Riley stays behind him, grabbing Claudio by the bottom of the head and pulling it up, Riley proceeding to throw a punch towards Luis, moving his arm back before sending it foward onto the forehead of Luis, he staggers. Claudio’s hands going to his face as Riley’s fist meets with his forehead. Riley smirks as he doubles around so that he is now in front of Claudio in the large aisle-way of the arena before charging forwards and bringing his boot up looking to drive it into the skull only for Claudio to somehow get his hands up just in time to grab the boot. Riley is completely shocked as Luis Claudio looks up at him, It’s a sight that Riley only sees for a few seconds as Claudio quickly pounces up with speed that a man less than his size just shouldn’t have, El Diablo using the caught boot to pull Riley into a massive clothesline that takes the Hardcore Champion down to the unpadded floor. Riley holds the back of his head following its collision with the unpadded floor as the fans surrounding the aisle way all crowd in to get an up close and personal look at the action unfolding right beside them. Claudio bends over, catching his breath after the desperation block and clothesline that we just saw. He shakes off the pain as best as he can, intent to get this match back on track and continue dealing out the hurt to the Hardcore Champion. He grabs Riley by the hair and pulls him up onto his feet before driving his elbow back into the side of the skull of the Hardcore Champion, sending him staggering backwards. Claudio follows up with a big right hand and then a boot right to the gut, each one sending Riley closer to the security barricade and in turn the ringside area. One final push leaves Riley propped up with his back to the security barricade and Luis backs away. He seems to glance around until he looks back at Riley and makes a decision. He charges towards him, barrelling into Riley with a big clothesline that sends Williamson crashing over the security barricade and to the padded floor of the ringside area.
Ted: This match has been all over the place! From the Ring all the way to the Front Row, this match has been brutal to say the least so far.
Joey: This match is for The Hardcore Championship Ted. What do you expect? a Kitty pool match with the winner, graduating and moving on to the Kindergarten Table. Shit….
Riley Williamson rolls away from the security barricade as Luis Claudio climbs over it, both men now back at ringside which probably causes most of the fans in that front row to breathe a sigh of relief. As Riley literally attempts to crawl away from Claudio, El Diablo is far too quick for him, grabbing Riley by the hair and pulling him up onto his feet from behind, which proves to be the wrong move as Riley sends his elbow back into the ribs of the Claudio, forcing him to release his grip and giving the Hardcore Champion the chance to make an escape. He staggers away from Claudio but doesn’t get far when Luis comes up behind him, slamming into him from behind and sending Riley tumbling over, Williamson only stopping himself from hitting the floor by grabbing hold of the security barricade and keeping himself on his knees. Claudio grabs him by the head and pulls him away from the security barricade and over towards the post closest to the announce table and to one of the ladders that have been set up on the outside of the ring. Claudio lines Riley up with the ring post and proceeds to deliver a powerful Irish whip that sends Demon barrelling towards it, the Hardcore Champion colliding with the steel ring post shoulder first and then crashing to the floor. Indeed Luis Claudio doesn’t even seem to think about getting that ladder in the ring, but he certainly notices it as he walks over to Riley who is grasping his worked over shoulder in pain on the floor. Claudio bends down, grabbing Riley by the arm and pulling him up roughly, making sure not to take it easy on that shoulder as he does so. As he gets Riley up onto his feet Claudio pushes him back while lining them up with the ladder at the same time, grabbing Riley by the arm and once again putting all of his power into an Irish whip, sending Riley Williamson charging towards the set up ladder! Riley sees the ladder in time and manages to use his momentum, along with his extraordinary athleticism, to his advantage by leaping up at the right time and grabbing hold of the ladder. Claudio charges at him not willing to let Riley have a moment to breath but this proves to be a big mistake as Riley pushes off of the ladder, turns in mid-air and comes right down on top of El Diablo with a cross body! Williamson rolls off of Luis as Claudio grasps the back of his head after a hard landing onto the padded floor.
Riley slowly pushes himself up onto his feet, still feeling the pain having only pulled off the cross body thanks to some quick thinking and desperate use of instinct. Still he’s put himself back in the driving seat and he’s going to capitalise on it and the easiest way to do that seems to be to crush Luis with a ladder! Williamson walks around to the other side of the ladder and proceeds to give it a good and powerful push, the ladder being taken off of its bearings and tumbling down. Claudio manages to see it coming and rolls out of the way just in time to avoid the ladder as it smashes to the ground right where he had been laying moments earlier. Williamson quickly leaps over the ladder and goes after Claudio as he attempts to get onto his feet, refusing to allow Claudio to have a single moment to breathe knowing full well that that is all he needs to get back into this match. Riley begins putting the boots into the back of Luis Claudio before grabbing him by the back of the head, dragging him up onto his feet and then driving him full force face first into the announcers table, Claudio’s head snapping back as he falls back to the floor. Riley refuses to give Luis even a moment to catch his breath, the floridan once again hooking his hands around the head of El Diablo and dragging him up onto his feet. He drags him in front of the announce table and then ducks down, hooking his arms around the leg of Claudio and using it to lift him up before dropping him chest first down upon the solid announce table which holds firm, just adding to the pain that Luis feels as he comes smashing down upon it, monitors and all. Claudio remains there, leant over the announce table breathing heavily while Riley backs away, going for the ring apron and pulling it up, clearly looking to bring the ‘no rules’ stipulation into play here. He digs around beneath the apron, knowing full well that he can’t waste too much time beneath there or he risks being blind-sided by Claudio. Luckily for him it doesn’t take too long to find something worth using and not only that but it is also a weapon that appeals to him– the kendo stick. Riley pulls the kendo stick out from beneath the ring while at the same time Claudio has risen off of the announce table, holding his chest in pain as he slowly staggers up onto his feet.
Ted: One has to wonder what Riley’s Intentions are with that Kendo Stick…
Joey: I think it’s pretty obvious Ted. And not something that I want to see happen.
Luis Claudio does turn around, slowly and groggily, but there is little he can do as Riley drives the kendo stick right into his ribs, Claudio’s hand immediately going down to his mid-section as he doubles over from the blow, clearly hurting as this match gets closer and closer to the fifteen minute mark. With Claudio doubled over Williamson moves to the side, lifting the kendo stick up for a second time and bringing it cracking down right across the back of the Puerto Rican, Claudio dropping down onto one knee as he arches his back in pain. Riley Williamson seems to be having fun right now as he twirls the kendo stick in his hand as if it was some kind of sword, just showing off to a crowd that is showing that they are enjoying the match as they cheer on. They Cheer as Riley almost skips backwards so that he is facing Claudio head on, Luis still down on one knee. Riley lifts the kendo stick high above head as he intends to bring it down straight between the eyes of Claudio but as he swings it Claudio’s hand just darts up and grabs it in mid-flow, Claudio now staring at Williamson with a cold, terrifying gaze. Indeed by the look of fury that now lies on Luis’s face it seems like we’re only just getting started. He holds the kendo stick in his one hand, staring Riley straight in the eyes while Williamson looks more than a little shocked. Despite that Riley tries to get a hold of the situation, not wanting to release the kendo stick into Luis’s grip, by throwing out a martial arts style kick to the side of Claudio’s ribs. The kick doesn’t connect however, Claudio grabbing his leg beneath his free arm. Riley is actually hopping on one foot, his other hold at Claudio’s side, the kendo stick still in his grip. Slowly Claudio begins to rise onto his feet, like a behemoth rising from the depths of hell itself. Riley looks shocked, like he’s just awoken the real Luis Claudio and he knows it. When Claudio reaches his feet he simply rips the kendo stick out of Williamson’s hand and throws it to the floor. Riley swings for Claudio, hoping to connect with a right or left hand that may break his grip on the Hardcore Champion’s leg, but they don’t connect, Claudio snarls at Williamson and then plunges his hand against his chest, using it and the leg in his grip to lift Riley Williamson up overhead in an absolutely terrifying display of freakish strength.
Luis holds Williamson up over his head and then turns and plunges him straight down back first onto the folded up ladder! Riley smashes into the top of the ladder with some extreme momentum behind him thanks to the Six foot plunge he took courtesy of Luis, and he sure as hell is feeling it, the longest reiging rsd champion arching his back and then rolling off of the ladder and to the floor as he writhes around in absolute agony. Luis looks down at him, a smug look of satisfaction on his face but one that also tells us that this is nowhere near enough. He bends down, hooking his hands around the head of Williamson and slowly hauling the broken looking man up onto his feet, Riley nowhere near ready to begin fighting back. Claudio ducks down, pressing one hand at the lower waist of the Hardcore Champion and the other at his chest and then he just pushes upwards, gorilla pressing the 210lbs frame of Riley Williamson right above his head! The entire arena is booing like this is the worst thing they’ve ever seen as Riley just looks absolutely terrified at the fact that he is now being held above the head of Luis Claudio, El Diablo walking over towards the ring and then slamming Riley Williamson down with a gorilla press slam straight onto the ring apron!
Ted: Good Grief!
Joey: We all know that must've hurted.
As Riley Williamson arches his back in pain for the umpteenth time Claudio looks to use this time to his advantage. He pulls up the ring apron, digging around beneath it for something that he can use to inflict more damage on the champ. He ends up pulling out a trashcan which as we know from past experience is not really something that you a wrestler wants to see coming towards their skull, though that could be said about anything that you can find under the always oddly stocked ring. Luis pulls the trashcan out and places it down on the ring apron besides Riley, grabbing the still in pain champ and sitting him up against the ring ropes. With Riley seemingly unable to fight back Luis picks up the trashcan, turning it upside down and then pushing it down on top of Williamson’s head and shoulders, trapping the former rsd champion within the dark confines of the trashcan. Riley freaks out at this as most sane, and probably insane, people would do and he suddenly lashes out with his boot, sending it right into the mid-section of an unsuspecting Luis Claudio, Luis sure that Riley wasn’t going to be fighting back any time soon. Luis grips his gut but Riley suddenly lurches forwards, hoping he gets lucky with his direction… and he does, sending the trashcan straight into the skull of Luis Claudio with a trashcan head butt, because that is totally a thing. Luis Claudio falls to his knees following the trashcan shot while Riley Williamson’s momentum carries him to the ground. While he is feeling the effects of the trashcan himself he still has to use this time effectively, shimmying himself out of the trashcan and back to the light of freedom. He sits up, breathing heavily, his body still aching after those two big drops onto his spine. Still he has to push through this if he wants any hope of taking the fight back to Claudio who remains kneeling just a few steps away from him. Both men slowly start to rise up, Claudio groggy from the trashcan shot to the skull while Riley’s back is extremely stiff right now. They make it up at very much the same time but it is Riley that acts quickest, delivering a firm boot to the gut that stuns Claudio, Williamson following it up by grabbing Claudio’s head and then hitting him with a big forearm blow that sends Luis staggering into the announce table. Williamson keeps at it, delivering a boot right to the back of the knee that drops Claudio down before Williamson grabs him by the back of the head and drives it straight into the announce table, El Diablo sloping to the ground from the blow. With Claudio down Riley begins dismantling the announce table, pulling off the top and removing the monitors leaving nothing but the shell behind.
Ted: Riley! You have a chance! What are you doing?!
Joey: Beating the guy up isn’t enough for you is it?
With the top of the announce table having been removed you just know that the Hardcore Champion has bad intentions here as he goes back after Luis Claudio on the floor. Claudio has reached out for the nearby trashcan but before he can get it in his hands Riley is on him, driving a boot into the back of Claudio to stun him before he grabs Luis by the back of his head and hauls him up onto his feet. With Luis on his feet Riley lines him up with the announce table before pulling him down into a front facelock, possibly looking to suplex him right through the table but before he even gets the chance Claudio acts, driving his fist up into the mid-section once, then twice to break the front facelock and send Riley staggering backwards into the announcers table. Luis grabs Riley by the back of the head, bringing his knee up right into the gut of the puerto rican before pulling him away from the announcers table and then spinning around and charging right for it, Cedar and Miles having moved out of the way in time to avoid Riley Williamson as Claudio throws him full force over the announcers table and to the other side! Riley Williamson is down on the other side of the announce table and while he attempts to grab the table and use it to help himself up he doesn’t really get that opportunity, El Diablo pushing past the ringside crew and immediately going after Williamson, kicking Cedar’s chair out of the way and then grabbing Williamson by the back of the head. Luis pulls him up onto his feet where Riley attempts to fight back, sending his elbow back into the ribs of El Diablo who just seems to shrug it off, responding by sending Riley’s head straight into the announcers table. Riley falls to his knees, stunned by his head just bouncing off of the table. Luis grabs him from behind, yanking him back up onto his feet and then spinning him around, Claudio hitting Riley with a mean right hand that sends him falling back first onto the announce table. Riley is lying half on, half off the announce table holding his jaw from the right hand while Claudio climbs up onto the table. As Luis rises to his feet on the announce table he hooks his hands around the head of Williamson and then slowly pulls him up onto his feet, both men now standing on top of the table which, if you’ve ever watched wrestling before, you’ll know is a very precarious place to stand. Claudio pushes Riley down, tucking his head between his legs and then hooking his arms around the waist, setting up for a big powerbomb either through or off of the table, but Riley is a second quicker, Riley desperately managing to lift his head up, his body following as he flips Luis over his body, sending Claudio back first off of the announce table to the floor and… right down on top of the trashcan! Riley Williamson drops down onto his knees on top of the announce table using the opportunity to catch his breath after he narrowly avoided a very nasty powerbomb just seconds ago. On the floor beneath him Luis Claudio writhes in pain, his back on fire after going straight down on top of the trashcan that he himself brought into play not that long ago. That trashcan is flattened beneath his body while at the same time it feels like his spine has been compressed in the exact same manner, a very nasty and unwanted feeling shooting through the back of El Diablo. Riley climbs down off of the announce table, swaying on his feet as he gains his bearings as this match reaches the fifteen minute mark. He staggers over towards Claudio, bending down and grabbing Claudio by the head, slowly pulling the puerto rican born up onto his feet. Luis is still far too stunned to fight Riley off as Will drills him with a hard right hand to the jaw that sends him down onto his knees. With Claudio down on his knees Riley quickly goes for the kendo stick that Luis threw to the ground earlier in the match, Will picking it up and then stopping behind Luis in a way reminiscent of a baseball player stepping up to the bat before swinging the kendo stick with such force that it snaps clean in two across the forehead of Claudio’s head.
Ted: What a sickening Thud. That Kendo Stick hitted right on the forehead of Luis’s head and now he is down.. Riley, now’s your chance. Go and claim what is yours.
Joey: No! Don’t tell him to get it now. I’m enjoying this … |

| The crowd starts to “Oh” as Riley pulls the jagged kendo stick away and looks at the blood as it drips from the makeshift spikes and onto the floor. Claudio’s hand instinctively goes up to the cuts now in his forehead, coming away covered in blood. It’s not the worst cut that he has had but it damn sure is one of the most painful, after all he’s literally just been stabbed clean in the forehead with a jagged piece of bamboo and that isn’t a picnic. Riley slowly walks around in front of Claudio, He grabs Claudio by the head, and just as he lifts him up Luis, suddenly Claudio sends his arm straight up between the legs and into Riley’s own crown jewels! Riley immediately drops the broken kendo stick as he drops down onto his knees and then onto his side out of the pain while Claudio drops backwards into a sitting position against the announce table as he attempts to gather his bearings. Both men are down, Luis Claudio wiping away the blood from his forehead while he attempts to catch his breath and get his head back in this match while Riley Williamson… well, while Riley Williamson holds his balls because they were just crushed by El Diablo, which is a Ironic Nickname as it means OW! in Spanish. A few moments pass like this before Claudio, with a bit of assistance from the announce table, makes his way back up onto his feet. You can tell that he’s feeling the effects of this match but he is far from done, Riley Williamson is going to have to damn well kill him if he wants to keep him down long enough to climb a ladder. Speaking of the ladder that is exactly what Luis Claudio goes for as he attempts to capitalise in the fact that Riley is still down on the floor. He lifts the ladder up and carries it across to the ring, turning it upright and then propping it up against the ring apron so that it is balanced, leaning against the apron and ready for whatever sick thought is passing through the head of El Diablo. With that sorted Claudio goes back after Williamson, bending down and hooking his arms around the legs of the Hardcore Champion, twisting him around so that they are lined up with the ladder that Claudio now has his back to. Riley is still too stunned from the low blow to fight back and that means all Claudio has to do now is drop back, and that is exactly what he does, dropping backwards and catapulting Riley up and over him, the momentum sending Williamson straight into the propped up ladder! Riley Williamson drops down to the floor, managing to land on his feet though he pretty quickly drops onto his knees. Claudio pushes himself up onto his feet, again having to wipe away the drops of blood from his forehead in order to stop them getting into his eyes, and immediately goes for the ladder once again. He pulls it away from the ring apron, lifting it back up and then turning it sideways as he waits for Riley Williamson to get up onto his feet. Riley should know that something is up by the way that the crowd have started buzzing. Riley pushing himself back up onto his feet, staggering around to face Claudio as the puerto rican charges right at him and sends the end of the ladder straight into the skull of Riley Williamson who immediately drops down onto his back, taken clean out by the blow. With Williamson left staring up the sky Claudio decides that now is the perfect time to go up high and bring down the XWA Hardcore Championship. With the ladder in hand Claudio moves towards the ring, pushing the ladder under the bottom ropes and into the ring. He glances back at Riley who remains down on the floor and then climbs up onto the ring apron and enters the ring through the ropes.
Ted: And here we go! A First attempt at someone trying to take down the Hardcore Championship.
Joey: You sounded sarcastic there Ted. Either that, or you are orgasming too much for this match.
Ted: No, I’m just saying that...Nevermind.
Luis Claudio picks the ladder back up and carries it to the centre of the ring, glancing up at the XWA Hardcore Campionship that hangs high above the ring as he does so. He unfolds the ladder, setting it up right in the middle of the ring just below the title and then, after checking that the ladder is indeed stable, begins the climb up. He’s so focused on the ladder that he doesn’t notice Riley on the outside having regained his bearings and used the ring apron to pull himself up onto his feet. Williamson slowly pulls himself into the ring under the bottom ropes and then struggles to his feet, making it in time to grab Claudio’s foot as El Diablo reaches the mid-way point of the ladder. With a quick but powerful tug of the leg Claudio is yanked off of the ladder and down to the ring where Riley drives his boot right into the mid-section of Luis, drawing a collection of cheers from the crowd who clearly did not wanted to see Claudio make it up top and bring down the title. The boot winds Claudio, doubling him over as Riley grabs him by the back of the head, lifting it up and then driving Claudio’s skull right into the side of the ladder. Riley drops down to his knees as the ladder sways from the impact but manages to stay upright. Riley hooks his hands around the head of Luis once again, dragging him up onto his feet and then pushing him back against the ring ropes, the floridan native gripping Claudio by the wrist and then full force Irish whipping him across the ring, sending Claudio charging straight into the side of the ladder! Claudio hits it with enough force that he is taken clean off of his feet and drops back first to the canvas while the ladder is sent off of its railings and comes crashing down, still unfolded, onto the ring ropes. Claudio holds his head following the collision but Riley Williamson isn’t about to let him take any time to recover, hooking his hands around the head of Claudio and dragging him back up onto his feet. Riley pulls Claudio over towards the side of the ring where the ladder is leaning, opened, on the ring ropes and then pulls him into a front facelock. Riley bends down, hooking the arm of Claudio around his head and then gets a grip of Luis’s tights, using them as pull when he uses his impressive strength to life the 264lbs frame of Claudio up and then bring him straight back down again with a snap suplex that sends Claudio back first down onto the railing of the ladder! Riley sits up while Luis screams in pain as he arches his back in pain from the blunt impact of being suplexed onto the railing of the ladder. As Claudio writhes in pain lying face down on the mat seemingly completely unconscious. Riley Williamson rises to his knees, Claudio seems to be down and out and Riley now has an open path up to the Hardcore Title. He rises up to his feet, holding his back momentarily as he still shows the effects that this match has had upon him so far. He walks over to the ladder that is down on the ring ropes and grabs it, slowly pulling it up so that it is fully set up beneath the XWA Hardcore Championship that hangs high above the ring. The only thing that separates him from that Hardcore Title, from winning this match and finally achieving his goal to create a moment at the expense of Luis Claudio, is the long climb up the ladder.
Ted: Riley now has a chance to go up and climb the ladder.
Joey: Get up Luis!
Riley slowly begins the climb up, not having the speed that he usually would have in any other situation. He’s been through a war already tonight but that could all be over if he can just make it up. The crowd are cheering in approval, screaming in absolute Joy as he slowly makes his way up the ladder but then as he reaches the half-way point the atmosphere seems to change, the crowd are suddenly booing and Riley has no idea why, though the logic of wrestling should tell you exactly what is going on. Before Riley knows what is happening Luis has somehow powered through and is right behind him, with his arm around the neck of Riley, choking the Hardcore Champion and yanking him straight off of the ladder to the canvas feet first. With his arm still wrapped around the throat of Williamson, Claudio pushes Riley over onto his chest and then places his knee down upon his back, putting all of his weight down on Williamson to stop him from going anywhere and then pulling back on the arm, digging it into the throat of Riley Williamson, choking him in the middle of the ring. Riley tries to gasp for air but there’s nothing there, his carotid artery has been cut off by the big arm of Claudio and slowly all of the air in his lungs is escaping with nothing to replace it, his lungs are starting to burn, his vision starting to fade as the darkness rolls in and the lights start to go out. He continues to claw away at the chain that is wrapped tightly around his throat, that digs into his skin with every passing second, but with Claudio pulling back on the arm there is little that he can do. The crowd, who were just moments ago Booing for the man they call El Diablo, are now awkwardly silent, they may love brutality and crazy ass weapons but it would appear that they draw the line at seeing a man being choked to within an inch of his life in such a vicious manner. Claudio simply roars as he continues to pull back on the arm, tearing the life out of Riley with his bare hands While things look bleak for the Hardcore Champion his salvation is, momentarily at least, at hand and it comes from a very unusual source – Luis Claudio himself, the puerto rican releasing his grip on the arm around Riley’s throat and allowing him to flop to the ground, holding his throat and desperately gasping for air. El Diablo slowly rising back up onto his feet while Riley continues to hold his throat, attempting to gasp for some air as his lungs are bothering him. Luis Claudio and he’s back on his feet much to the distaste of the Wembley Stadium crowd who seem to have put their trepidation about watching a man choke to death behind them. Riley sees Claudio turn and Luis, in a focused and pretty narrow minded mindset charges forwards once again only for Riley to hook his arms around the top rope and flip back up, left foot extended, but Claudio manages to skid to a stop and grab Riley’s left foot. He thinks he’s done it, he’s about to send Riley flipping over the ropes but suddenly Riley brings his right boot up slamming into the side of Claudio’s skull. Luis sways, stunned by the blow, when Riley leaps up once again, this time wrapping his legs around the head of El Diablo and leaning back on the rope, Riley Williamson flipping over the top rope and taking Claudio with him.
Ted: What a Hurricana by Riley!
Joey: He keeps coming back! What the hell is this guy?! A Machine!?!
Both men flip over the top rope with Claudio sent crashing the floor outside in a crumpled heap as he hits it hard. Riley meanwhile is in a much direr situation because he’s got one knee on the ring apron and is grasping the middle rope trying not to fall off because if he does it’s game over. Riley Williamson slumps, sitting on the ring apron as he gasps for air. As Luis Claudio slowly rises up onto his hands and knees on the floor Williamson pushes the pain around his throat to the back of his mind, dropping onto his feet on the outside and immediately going after Claudio, dropping down onto the back of El Diablo with an elbow drop. The move flattens Claudio out on the floor and gives Riley Williamson some more time to figure something out as this match nears the twenty minute mark. Williamson looks around the ringside area and then settles his eyes on something, a plan clicking into place. He grabs Claudio by the back of the head and slowly pulls him up onto his feet, the elbow to the back having done the job of taking the wind out of him long enough for Riley to enact his idea. He drags Claudio over towards the corner of the outside area closest to the announce table and then charges at it, propelling Claudio at point blank range straight into the security barricade, Claudio slamming into the barricade shoulder first with a vicious thud. Claudio writhes in pain on the floor while Williamson walks around the ringside area right up to the announcer’s area. He tells the timekeeper to move and move he does, The Floridan grabbing the timekeeper’s steel chair and folding it up. Riley walks back around the ring, lining himself up with Claudio who is slowly using the security barricade to pull himself up. When Claudio is up on his feet Riley Williamson suddenly charges forwards, the steel chair pressed against his chest, before leaping straight at Claudio, slamming both the chair and his body straight into him with such momentum and weight behind it that both Claudio and Riley go crashing into the security barricade which actually gives way, shattering beneath their weight! Riley and Luis are now both laid out by the aisle way of the crowd, the remainders of the security barricade littered around them. Security once again has to step in to make sure that no fans get a little bit overzealous but nobody is going near Riley or Claudio as they both writhe on the floor in pain, both having taken some of the brunt of that impact though the chair clearly did more damage to Luis than it did to Riley. Time goes on and the fans erupt into a massive cheer, they’re absolutely loving the physicality of this match and even they can feel like this one is far from over, that both of these men still have tricks up their sleeves and blood to spill. Thankfully for Luis the cuts in his forehead from earlier in the match have stemmed somewhat but he’s definitely hurting as he lies on his back, staring up the bright lights in the Wembley Stadium. Will is on his front, slowly pushing himself up onto his hands and knees. He stays there, head down, breathing heavily following another kamikaze style attack once again proving that he is willing to put his body through hell to hurt Luis. As the seconds tick by both men stir, Claudio rolling onto his front and using the security barricade, the part that isn’t now in pieces obviously, the pull himself up onto his knees, resting against the barricade as he attempts to gather his bearings. Riley pushes himself up onto his feet but almost falls straight back down, managing to grab hold of the unbroken part of the security barricade opposite Luis to stop himself from crashing right back to the ground. He then slides into the ring and looks up at the Title that he currently owes, pointing to it as the crowd cheers.
Ted: Looks like Riley is signaling for the end here. Boy, what alot of action we have seen so far.
Joey: C’Mon Luis! Don’t let this fool beat you!
Riley slowly begins to ascend on the ladder while Luis starts to stir admist from wreckage of the Broken Barricade. With each step being gingerly taken, Riley makes it halfway to the top and Luis slides into the ring. As he continues, Luis stops him and starts to throw some punches towards the back of Riley, Riley drops down and Luis kicks him in the gut, places his head inbetween his legs, raising the champion then onto his shoulders before swinging him down and jumping into the air pressing his knees onto the back of Riley as he hits his Finisher, The Potencia Bomba! Riley’s right foot lands on the bottom rung while Luis Claudio drops back down onto his knees, breathing heavily after the desperation Potencia Bomba paid off right there. The crowd Boo’s massively at Claudio as they attempt to distract him, Claudio pushes himself up onto his feet, stumbles over to the ladder and grabs it to stop himself from falling once again. He holds onto the ladder as he proceeds to drive his boot right into the laying knee of Riley Williamson who suddenly wakes from his stupor, screaming out in pain at the blunt force impact of the boot. Claudio drives his boot into the knee a further two times before Riley gets his foot off the rung, the Floridan rolls back and forth as he grasps his knee in pain. Riley Williamson continues to writhe in pain, gripping his knee, on the floor while Luis Claudio grabs Williamson by the head and slowly drags him up, forcing him back up onto his feet. Claudio turns, Riley’s head in his grasp and then proceeds to drive it straight into a rung of the ladder, Riley dropping backwards now grasping his face in pain because as we know, the human skull is definitely not as strong as the metal rung of a ladder. With Riley down Claudio goes to the ring apron, pulling it up and going back beneath the ring looking for something else that he can use to cause carnage here in this ladder match. It takes a few seconds before he manages to find exactly what he wants, a barbed wire covered kendo stick. Luis Claudio pulls that barbed wire covered kendo stick out from beneath the ring and holds it high above head, a sick smile on his face as he slides back into the ring and turns to Riley who is slowly pushing himself up onto his feet after his meeting of the minds with the ladder. Riley has no idea what is going on right now, no idea what horror lies behind him just waiting to pounce, Claudio just waiting for Williamson to turn. Riley turns around and Luis Claudio swings, sending the barbed wire covered kendo stick straight into the mid-section of Riley Williamson. It isn’t just the initial strike that does the damage but the fact that the barbed wire has stuck in Riley’s skin, Claudio pulling on it to pull the kendo stick away and ripping through the flesh of the Hardcore Champion, Riley screaming out in pain as his blood trickles from his stomach. He drops down onto the mat as his feet already unbuckle. Luis drops the barbed wired Kendo Stick.
Ted: Good God, what a sickening shot to the stomach.
Joey:This match is far from over. Let the takeover of Luis Claudio begin!
Luis grabs onto the bottom of the ladder and starting to make the climb up. It’s a slow climb, having given everything he has got so far in this match, and that’s exactly what gives Riley the time he needs. The pain is excruciating but the thought of losing his Championship here Tonight just gives him the little power he needs to continue on. He grabs the Steel Chair that lies beside him and staggers up using the Ropes to keep him up. Luis keeps climbing, hoping that he’s got the time to make it all the way up but unfortunately… he doesn’t, because Riley uses the ropes to pull himself up onto his feet and then he swings the Steel Chair with such force that it lodges straight onto El Diablos back. Riley falls to the side, dropping to his knees by the ring ropes as he looks at Luis, Claudio now stands on the ladder, his hands gripping the rungs tightly out of a reaction to what just happened. His face is stuck in this sick contortion of pain, Luis Claudio arches his back in pain as he screams silently, unable to get the sound out as the impact of the Steel Chair can be felt stinging in his back, Riley drops down into a sitting position. On the outside Ryn Sanu looks like he wants to enter, to get involved and make sure that this match can continue but he knows he can’t, he knows that nobody else is allowed to enter this ring until this match is over. Luis rolls onto his front, Riley reaches up, grabbing the rung of the ladder and slowly using it to pull himself up onto his feet. He staggers over towards Claudio, He bends down slowly, hooking his hands around the head of El Diablo and pulling him up onto his knees. Riley then lifts Luis up onto his shoulders and looks to put him away with his Finisher, The Torrential Drop (F5) But Luis delievers a few elbow shots towards the Jaw causing Riley to lose not only his concentration, but his balance as well. Riley lets go of Luis and Luis lands on his feet as he waits for Riley to turn and just as he does Luis brings his hands up and just digs his fingers right into the eye of Williamson! Riley screams in absolute pain as Claudio’s finger digs into his eye socket, Riley managing to get free from Claudio and crawling away, gripping his eye in pain as Luis continues to lean against the turnbuckle in the corner breathing heavily as he tries to get over the incredible amount of pain that he has already gone through. Riley has crawled away from Claudio as he brings his hand away from his eye as we see that it is blood shot, almost bulging out of the socket from where Claudio’s fingers dug straight into it. He grabs at the bottom rope, uses it to pull himself beneath it and roll out to the floor on the outside where he slumps down into a sitting position as he tries to gather his bearings and finger out whether he’s blind or just brain damaged. Luis stays on Williamson, pulling himself under the bottom rope and to the outside on his feet. Riley has pulled himself up onto his feet thanks to the ring apron and now both men are just a few steps away from each other. Suddenly Claudio explodes forwards, nailing Riley with a series of right hands that seem to rock The Tag Team Champion. Claudio goes for a clothesline but Will manages to duck underneath it and then sweeps Luis’s leg with his foot to sending El Diablo down onto his back, Riley down on top of him immediately throwing right hands at the skull of Luis.
Ted: This is absolute chaos! Neither Men are willing to just give it up yet.
Joey: This is Awesome Ted.
Riley is throwing bombs at the head of Luis but El Diablo is already working his way out, getting his hands at the sides of Will and using his strength to push the Champ onto his back, Claudio now mounting Riley and throwing right hands of his own having swapped their positions in the blink of an eye. The Hardcore Champion knows that he is in trouble here and he quickly manages to force his boot up beneath Claudio, pushing it against the chest of the Puerto Rican and pushing him off of him. Both men struggle to their feet at a similar moment and Luis charges at Riley only for the former New Yorker to sidestep, hook his arm around the arm of the momentum driven Luis Claudio and flipping him over, hip tossing him straight down onto the ground Claudio arches his back in pain while Riley goes under the ring once again, pulling up the ring apron, pulls out a wooden Table. Riley grasps onto the Table as he places it on the ridge of the ring and slides it underneath the Bottom Rope he then slides into the ring himself. He then gets back to his feet and sets up the Table behind the ladder that lies beneath the Hardcore Title. Riley then looks over towards the outside and sees Luis beginning to stir. He walks over towards the ropes and exits through him as his feet touch the floor he bends down and grabs him by the head with one hand, slowly pulling him onto his feet. Williamson pulls Claudio over towards the ring apron, hooking his arms around the legs of Claudio and lifting him up onto the ring apron, Claudio far too groggy to fight back at this point. Williamson grabs hold of the bottom rope and uses it to pull himself up onto the ring apron with Luis, the Hardcore Champion pulls Claudio up onto his feet He pushes Claudio down into a front facelock and hooks the arm, possibly looking for a suplex. He doesn’t get the opportunity however because Claudio drives his fist up into the mid-section, loosening his grip, with a second right hand breaking it outright and leaving Riley staggering on the ring apron. Suddenly Claudio’s boot flies upwards and he strikes Riley in the side of the head with a Big Boot! The impact sends Riley down onto the outside.
Ted: Luis, with that Big Boot towards the Jaw of Williamson, now has a chance to claim the prize that is hanging above the ring.
Joey: Go for it!!!
Luis enters the ring, walks across, and then exits the ring dropping down onto the outside He lifts up the ring apron and grabs another ladder, this one slightly smaller than the one that is already in the Middle of the ring Luis pulls out the ladder and slides it into the ring beneath the bottom rope lifting it up and unfolding it by the ropes in line with the original ladder that still stands perfectly beneath the hanging branding iron. Claudio then grabs the slightly smaller ladder and carries that over, proceeding to jam the bottom of the ladder between the rungs of one of the bigger ladders and jamming the top of the ladder between the rungs of the original ladder.
Ted: Something Tells me Luis has something devicious in mind..
Joey: Of course he does Ted. Look at what Riley has done to him. This guy has been beating the fuck out of him since the opening bell it’s about time Riley gets put back in his place.
Luis looks around at the setup and then makes his way over towards Williamson, hooking his hands around the head of Williamson and hauling him up onto his feet before dragging him over towards that vertical ladder. Luis Claudio lifts Riley Williamson up onto the vertical ladder, lying him out along it, and then slowly pulls himself up onto it as well, the ladder creaking and bending beneath the weight of these two men. Luis bends down carefully, hooking his hands around the head of Riley Williamson and slowly pulling him up onto his feet. Williamson is still extremely groggy from being Booted from earlier. Luis manages to get him up onto his feet and then, with Williamson in his grip, begins climbing up the ladder that stands below the Hardcore Title and that stands just in front of the table. Luis is climbing up, dragging Williamson up with him as he goes but as he reaches three quarters of the way up Williamson seems to wake up and realize that he’s got his feet on the rungs of a ladder. Suddenly he reaches up between the legs of El Diablo and nails him with a low blow! Luis manages to keep his grip on the ladder as Williamson rises up between his legs, hooking his hands around the legs of Luis Claudio and then leaping off of the ladder, bringing both of them down on top of the vertical ladder with a sit out powerbomb, the weight of the two crashing down upon it being too much as they both go crashing through the vertical ladder as it cracks in two beneath their weight! The entire crowd have erupted into a massive chant of “holy shit” as Luis Claudio and Riley Williamson lie among what used to be a perfectly usable ladder. Once again neither of them are moving, they just lie there on the verge of unconsciousness after taking a suicidal sit-out powerbomb through the ladder. Luis Claudio’s face is covered in blood while Riley’s is certainly heading that way and these two men no longer look like they’ve gone through a war, it looks like they’ve gone through a damn wood chipper from the way they’re bodies are cut up in such a horrifying manner. The crowd continue to chant as they wait for either of these men to show some signs of life and it is, Luis Claudio who stirs first, rolling off of the broken ladder and onto the canvas proper. He lies there, attempting to find the strength to push forward before Riley can do the same. He crawls his way to the side of the ladder, the very one beneath the Hardcore Title, and grabs hold of the side, using it to pull himself up onto his knees. He stays there, kneeling with his bloody face pressed against the ladder as it seems that he just can’t find the strength to get to his feet.
Ted: Luis has to find some type of Energy if he wants to climb up that ladder and become the New Hardcore Champion.
Joey: Good god, how is this Fucker moving!?
Ted: Who?
Joey: Riley Williamson! This guy was just sent through a ladder..
Ted: It’s for the Hardcore Title Joey. Riley has held that belt for a good while now and he doesn’t want to lose it tonight. You heard him say it.
Riley has somehow found the strength to roll off of the wreckage of the ladder. He’s certainly not any closer to stopping Claudio but it’s a damn good start considering the state that he’s in,with his back inmisrable pain, scars possibly in his back. Caudio doesn’t see Riley, instead he’s focused on winning this match and becoming the New Hardcore Champion. Slowly but surely he manages to pull himself up onto his feet thanks to the ladder that he is careful not to tip over. He staggers around the front and puts his foot on that bottom rung, trying to find that energy that he needs to win this match. Across the ring Riley has managed to grab hold of the bottom rope and is now in the process of using the ropes to drag himself up onto his feet. It’s almost like a race right now as both of these men have given absolutely everything they have, their last tiny trickle of energy has to be used to make the climb and tear down that Hardcore Title if they want any chance of being called the winner. As Claudio makes the slow, agonising climb up the ladder Riley pulls himself up onto his feet, falling against the ropes and then somehow managing to stumble over towards the ladder on the opposite side of Claudio.
Ted: Both men are now climbing up the ladder now, someone is gonna walk out with that Championship here, Tonight!!
Joey: You got this Luis!!
Both men struggling to make their way up to the Hardcore Title. It’s quite clear that Claudio has the advantage both in speed and in the head start that he gained thanks to being the first man up but still there’s a tension among the crowd that just will not go away, they have no idea what is going to happen here considering everything we have seen so far. Slowly Luis and Riley climb, Claudio nearing the top while Riley attempts to catch up with him. All of the focus is El Diablo and there’s silence amongst the Crowd as they watch nervously. As he reaches the top rungs of the ladder. He reaches up for the Hardcore Title but is just a little too far away from it. He summons all of the energy he has left in his body to climb up one more rung, then another. The Hardcore Title is right in front of him now, literally in front of his face as he stands on the penultimate rung of the ladder. He reaches up for the hook, knowing that all he has to do is unhook it and he will have won this match when Riley, a few rungs below comes and delivers a punch towards the Sturdom of Luis causing him to let go and to now work on Riley.
Ted: My god…. They are fighting from the Top! This is not going to end well.
Joey: Hold on Luis! You are so close dammit!
Both Men now begin trading blows. Slowly as they try to keep hold of the ladder and not suffering a fall. Riley delivers a punch towards Luis’s Jaw causing him to lose his grip on the ladder abit and Luis responds with a punch of his own. Riley responds and the Crowd Cheers. Luis responds and the Crowd Boo’s Finally, both men give up as they tirelessly stand on the ladder but after a few seconds, Riley quickly reacts as he gets his right foot off the ladder and sends it to the side of Luis’s Skull! Luis lets go of the ladder as his Body goes flying through the air and goes crashing right onto the Table!
Ted: Good Grief!
Joey: This match can’t end like this. Not with Riley winning!
Riley leans on the top of the ladder, looking down at the wreckage beneath. Luis is laid, completely prone, unconscious, bloody and broken amidst a completely broken in half table. There’s no fight left in Claudio, he is well and truly done. Riley reaches up, opens up the hook and pulls down the Hardcore Championship!
Ding, Ding, Ding!!!
Laura: Here is your winner and still your XWA Hardcore Champion, Riley Williamson!!
Ted: What a match. I believe we saw some great things coming out of both men and quite possibly a side of Riley we have never, ever seen before.
Joey: What a Bloody and brutal match...I don’t know what else to say but damnit. |
