DING DING DING!

With the sound of the bell echoing thrice throughout the arena, Williamson raises his palms up in front of his head; looking to grapple. The veteran approaches the returning Azrael cautiously, as if his opponent was a wild animal – and rightfully so. It was indeed this man who terrorized his former partner, Jared Jerusalem, for almost 2 months. The maniac in the other corner doesn’t seem to be taking his opponent seriously, looking like a child being forced to hold in his laughter. As the former hardcore champion gets closer to his adversary, Azrael suddenly breaks into a deranged cackle; falling flat on his ass and flailing his arms around. Williamson is temporarily taken aback, lowering his stance. The last hardcore champion looks to referee Ryu Sanu, who looks just as puzzled as he. Azrael then sits up, eventually getting himself to one knee gaining control over his moment of glee. The former Hopeful member looks directly at his opponent, wearing a shit-eating grin.

|Azrael| “Oh, my sincerest apologies, Mr. Williamson. I may have lost my composure a bit th-“

From his stance, Azrael suddenly pounces at his opponent like a predator pinning down his prey, using his shoulder to drive the former Knockout Kings member down to the mat. The XWA faithful begin booing the complete lack of sportsmanship from the Maniac Unmasked; who quickly moves forward and mounts his opponent. Azrael places one hand behind his opponent’s head, cradling it as he winds his other arm back and launches it towards his opponent’s face. Williamson whips his head to the side, quickly raising his forearms above his face in an attempt to defend himself from the assault. Azrael proceeds to deliver swift, uncalculated fists towards his opponent’s body. Riley tries to squirm out of the mount as his ribs get pounded by Azrael’s bomb-like strikes, effectively causing him to gasp for breath. A few moments of savagery later, the zebra-striped official begins to count to 5 in an attempt to end this brutal display of pugilism. The delinquent does opposite of what Sanu expects, however, as his strikes land faster and faster as he gets closer to disqualification. Just before the ref gets to say five, Azrael quickly gets back up, feeling invigorated mentally yet gasping for breath. Sanu quickly approaches the Pensylvanian, reprimanding him for what had just transpired while Williamson rolls away from his aggresor, clutching his chest in a futile attempt to mend the pain. As the official continues warning the psychopath in front of him, the latter displays a look of confusion; then walks towards Riley only to raise his foot up and stomp it forcefully into his opponent’s shin. Azrael drives his foot down, twisting it in an attempt to crush his prey’s limb in between his foot and the mat. The Maniac then stares directly at the referee, looking infuriated.

|Azrael| “I have til five, don’t I!?“

|Cedar| ”I see this man still hasn’t changed! He’s still a sick, demented individual”

|Miles| ”Welcome back, you fucking psycho!”

Azrael then lets go of Riley’s shin, causing him to quickly raise his knee and grasp his leg with his arms; gritting his teeth from the pain. The Maniac Unmasked then runs towards the ropes, only to be ricocheted back. He drops down to the mat as he gets nearer to the fallen champion. sliding towards his opponent, striking him with a baseball slide which sends Riley out of the ring and down to the mat, shoulder first. Azrael follows in pursuit, sliding out of the ring with bad intentions. He grabs Riley by the back of his neck with a talon-like grip and yanks him back to a vertical base. The former Hopeful member then drags him towards the ring post, arching Williamson back only to ram his temple onto the cold steel; causing the last Hardcore champion to fall back down to the concrete from the impact. With the referee’s count at 2, Azrael realizes he has a lot more time to fulfil his sadistic desires. He grabs Riley by the arm and pulls him back up to a rather unstable vertical base – his shin still hasn’t recovered well. Azrael proceeds to pull his opponent behind him, hoping to irish whip Williamson into the steel steps. This backfires, however, as Riley somehow spins at the last second and reverses the maneuver; at the same time dropping back to the ground. Azrael is able to turn at the last second, colliding with the steps shoulder first; knocking down the arrangement of steel.

|Cedar| ”Riley finally gets some breathing room here! Come on kid! Use the opportunity!”

|Miles| ”GOD DAMN IT! Things were just getting good and Williamson just had to fuck it up!”

The Maniac Unmasked lays flat on his chest on the ground with a hand on his arm, laughing from the enjoyment of being hurt in this match for the first time. With the referee’s count at 4, Riley musters up some strength, using the ring apron to pull himself back up on his feet. Williamson then slides into the ring and gets back to a vertical base, holding on to the ropes. With the referee’s count at 6, Azrael slides back into the ring to prevent being counted out; only to be stomped on his head. by Williamson in an attempt to take control of this match. The last hardcore champion continues to wear out his psychotic adversary, stomping on his body in an attempt to keep him down; and while it seems to be working, Azrael continues to chuckle at what he’s receiving. A few more strikes later, Riley then backs up and takes a breather as Azrael struggles to get up. The maniac pulls himself up using the ropes, still grinning from his struggles. He doesn’t quite make it back to his feet, as Riley immediately charges at him from behind and grabs his head, flailing his legs outward and dropping to the mat; driving Azrael’s head back down to the floor with a bulldog. Azrael rolls onto his back from the impact, holding onto his chin. Riley then pins his opponent.

|Referee| ”1! 2!”

Azrael manages to roll his shoulder up at the last second, breaking the pin. Looking to wear out his opponent even more, Riley positions himself near Azrael’s legs and grabs onto one foot, wrapping it with one arm and raising his maniacal opponent’s leg up. He proceeds to grab onto the Pensylvanian’s foot with one hand and twists his foot, applying excruciating pressure with an ankle lock. Azrael grimaces, banging his head onto the mat and rolling side to side in an attempt to escape the hold, but Williamson has it locked in firmly. Azrael attempts to crawl towards the ropes, but Riley kneels down to the ground, effectively trapping the Maniac Unmasked in the center of the ring.

|Cedar| ”Azrael in the center of the ring here with nowhere to go!”

|Miles| ”Azrael you stupid fucking bitch, snap out of it! Are you seriously going to lose to Williamson!?”

The former Hopeful members begins to pull at his hair, gritting his teeth with a wild look in his eyes. Referee Ryu Sanu continues to ask Azrael if he wants to tap, but he’s only met with a hostile utterance of “fuck off!”. Azrael then slowly tries to crawl towards the ropes, carry his and his opponent’s weight. As he gets nearer, Williamson gets back to his feet and quickly drags his opponent’s body back to the middle of the ring. Before he can get drop back down to his knees, however, Azrael uses the opportunity to roll forwards, making Riley stumble in the same direction and break the hold. The Centralian Menace quickly lifts his knee up and grips his ankle tightly, before letting out a shriek of delight from what he just went though. Riley quickly regains balance then approaches his opponent. He grabs him by his hand and pulls him up to his feet; the latter standing on a limp, still feeling a sharp pain on his ankle. Looking to get his opposition down for the count, Riley pulls Azrael and throws him into the ring corner back first with an irish whip. Azrael arches as an electric-like pain shoots up his back, the turnbuckle padding not really offering protection from the steel beneath it. Riley walks towards his opponent, then kicks at his gut, causing the Pennsylvanian to bend over. He then shoves Azrael against the turnbuckles before tucking his head under his opponent’s shoulder. Williamson raps his arms around his opponent’s waist and attempts to lift him up onto the top turnbuckle. He struggles for a bit, Azrael being the much bigger man; but after a few more trials; he finally gets him up there. Riley throws a quick, unmeasured punch at his opponent’s temple to keep him at bay; then backs up a bit and takes a few short breaths to regain his composure. Seconds later, he gets back to work, stepping onto the second rope. He gives his worn out adversary another strike to his skull, causing Azrael’s head to flail to the side. The former Knockout King then tucks his opponent’s head under his shoulder, lowers his head, then slings his arm on top of his neck. Riley climbs to the top rope and attempts to lift his opponent up, but the latter won’t nudge. Williamson then decides to use a bit more effort, and eventually raises his opponent a bit. Before Azrael can use his weight to prevent his opponent from slamming him down to the mat, Riley quickly falls backwards, gravity pulling both competitors down to the mat with incredible impact, courtesy of a superplex.

|Cedar| ”What a superplex! Azrael just may be done for here! An incredible display of strength by Williamson!”

|Miles| ”NO! NO GOD DAMN IT! NO!”

Azrael arches forwards, rolling to the side as a reaction to the pain; while Riley snappily sits up from the sudden nerve wracking sensation his spine just went through. Williamson lays back down onto the mat, slamming his hand down on the ground as a way to release tension from the pain. Not wanting his effort to be for nothing, Riley slowly crawls towards his opposition, and lays a hand over his chest. The referee drops down and counts.

|Referee| ”1! 2!”

Just before the referee slaps his hand on the mat for the third time, Azrael manages to raise his arm and break the pin. Riley displays a look of shock – he was sure that that could put his crazed adversary away. With Azrael still down on the mat, Riley approaches the turnbuckle and climbs up to the top rope. He looks to the Key Arena’s audience, who all start cheering for the fan favorite. Williamson signals for his signature elbow drop, the Blading Drop; hoping to take his opponent out for good. The last hardcorte champion leaps up into the air, elbow primed and ready to be driven into his opponent’s chest. Just before he can drop onto Azrael, however, his plans go awry, as the Maniac Unmasked suddenly rolls away at the last second. Williamson crashes into the ground hard.

|Miles| ”CRASH AND BURN MOTHERFUCKER!”

|Cedar| ”Things don’t look too good for Williamson here!”

He holds onto his side and grimaces, rolling onto his back. Azrael looks to his fallen opponent, grinning as he observes Riley’s state. The Unmasked Menace gets up slowly, grabbing onto the ropes to stabilize himself with one hand and holding onto his back with the other in an attempt to mend the pain going through his back. Azrael slowly walks towards his opponent, looking enraged yet ecstatic. He stares at his opponent, who is slowly getting onto all fours, crawling towards the ropes perhaps to help himself get back to his feet. As he raises his head though, he doesn’t get to move an inch. Azrael suddenly raises his foot up and burtally stomps on Williamson’s cranium. Riley instantly holds onto his skull and twitches, then attempts to roll away from his opponent. He doesn’t get that far, though, as Azrael stomps onto his lower back; causing Williamson to arch. Azrael quickly mounts his opponent’s back, then bends forwards. He maniacally cackles, staring intently at his opponent’s nape; before suddenly gnawing at it like a wild animal with rabies. The referee reacts in shock and begins counting to five while Riley starts screaming in pain, flailing around violently in an attempt to get this monster off of him. Azrael won’t budge, however, he continues to gnaw on his opponent’s neck, and eventually draws blood; satisfying his thirst. He lets go of Williamson and looks to the Key Arena’s rafters, insanely laughing as he does, precious rubies dropping from his teeth like Hannibal Lecter. Sanu begins scolding Azrael, but he is only met with a crazed stare.

|Cedar| ”That was uncalled for! Williamson’s bleeding!”

|Miles| ”Fucking finally! I was falling asleep!”

Subject: Re: M4 | Azrael vs. Riley Williamson Sat Feb 21, 2015 11:12 pm

As Riley Williamson is again down on the mat holding his neck following a vicious bite from the Violent Eyes. Azreal then grabs Riley by the hair once again, using it to pull the Floridian s unceremoniously up onto his feet. He delivers a hard forearm smash to the to the side of the head to keep Riley groggy and then maneuvers behind him, locking his arms around the waist of Williamson. With his hands locked together Azreal uses his strength, and then lifts Riley up and off of his feet bringing him back first down onto the canvas with another big German suplex Azreal keeps his hands locked together and rolls through, working himself up onto his feet, lifting Riley with him with that rear waist lock still clinched in. He goes for the lift again, manages it with little opposition, and lifts Riley up off of his feet and slams him back first into the mat for a second consecutive German suplex. Just like before Azreal manages to keep those hands locked together and the rear waist lock clinched in. He works his way up onto his feet, pulling Riley up with him, and looks set to hit the third consecutive German suplex to finish the sequence. Only he doesn’t get that chance as Riley sends a desperate elbow back that connects with the side of Azreal head. The blow rocks him but it’s the second back elbow that forces him to break his grip, Azreal staggering backwards. Riley then sprints forwards, rebounding off of the ropes and then catching a stunned Azreal on the return with a big spear! The crowd gasp as the spear connects with the ribs of Azreal, sending him to the mat where Riley hooks a leg and goes for a cover.

1.2..KICKOUT!

Riley doesn’t look pleased but is more preoccupied with the shooting pain that has now made itself prominent in the back of his neck following those two consecutive German suplexes. He pushes through the pain, grabbing Azreal by the head and pulling him up onto his feet, then dragging him over towards the turnbuckle. Instead of pushing Azreal back first into the turnbuckle he instead leans him right next to it against the ropes, and then hooks his arm around the ropes so that the shoulder is leant against the top turnbuckle. Riley grabs the top rope, using it for balance, and then brings his boot up against the shoulder, pushing on it with the boot with such force that it looks like he is trying to snap it clean out of the socket with the assistance of the turnbuckle. Azreal is unable to stop himself shouting out in pain as his shoulder feels like it’s being ripped apart. While the turnbuckle assisted attack is effective it also just so happens to be illegal, forcing XWA official Ryn Sanu to step in and do something about it. Riley refuse as he is still infuriated by the bite that Azreal gave to his neck eariler to listen to his initial order that the move be released and is forced to begin his five count, all the while Azreal is attempting and failing to push the boot away with his one free hand. Sanu makes it to the count of four before Riley relinquishes his attack, backing away just long enough for Sanu to break the count before leaping in and driving his knee right into the gut of the manic unmasked, winding him. Sanu pulls Riley away, admonishing him for breaking the rules and warns him that while he may get away with that with other referees he isn’t going to get away with it in his ring. Riley acts disinterested, simply shouts that he had until five and then pushes past Sanu, looking to go back on the attack. All he ends up getting however is a swift kick right to the gut from a desperate Azreal that doubles him over.

Azreal attempts to shake out the pain in his arm while lifting himself up onto the middle turnbuckle, standing up and then launching himself off when The Floridan reaches his feet, swivelling in mid-air and nailing Riley with a flying back elbow that sends both men back first to the mat. Azreal sits up and rubs his shoulder, shakes out the pain as best as he can. He pushes himself up onto his feet just that little bit slower than he did earlier in the match, showing the fatigue that is developing as this match continues. He bends, hooks his hands around Riley’s head and pulls him up onto his feet, pushes him back first into the turnbuckle. Azreal lifts his hand up and then drives it across the chest of The Floridan Native with a thunderous knife edge chop and then follows up with a right hand straight to the forehead. Another knife edge chop follows and then another right hand, this knife edge chop / right hand sequence continuing for several more strikes until Azreal grabs Riley with a hand on either side of his head, pulls the groggy Former Hardcore Champion to the centre of the ring. Azreal pushes Riley down into a front facelock, hooks the arm and then reaches out and hooks the outside leg, the crowd popping loudly as The Violent Eyes lifts Riley up and over with a big fisherman’s suplex, dropping him back first to the canvas, keeping the leg hooked to bridge into a pinfall.

1..2...KICKOUT!!

Azreal sits up, slightly surprised thats The Floridan Native was able to kick out of the fisherman’s suplex at only a two count, continuing the relentless pace of this match by grabbing Riley by the head and pulling him up to his feet as he rises himself. With one hand on the back of Williamson’s head The Manic Unmasked uses the one to nail the former RSD Champion with a big forearm smash that rocked Riley right back into this match as he fires back with a vicious right hand that’s so desperate, so instinctual and so hard hitting that it actually sends Azreal staggering back into the nearby ring ropes. With Azreal leaning against the ropes, Riley charges towards Azreal and looking to clothesline him straight over the top rope. Azreal is ready for him however, The Pennsylvania Native ducking down, hooking an arm around the inside leg of Riley and sending The Former New York Native up and over the top rope. However Riley has quick reactions, the former Hardcore Champion managing to hook his hands around the head of Azreal as he comes down, managing to both land on the ring apron with both feet and whiplashing Azreal’s head back against the ring ropes in the process. Azreal’s head snaps forward and he falls to the mat on his hands and knees just in front of Riley, who remains on the ring apron, waiting for The Manic Unmasked to make it to his feet. Slowly Azreal rises up onto his feet, rubbing the back of his neck, and as he turns Riley pulls on the top rope, using it to leap up, showing off some sublime athleticism as he springboards off of the top rope, hooks his arm around a shocked Azreal’s neck and then flips him around with a hurricanrana DDT spiking him headfirst into the mat and immediately hooking the leg and going for the cover.

1..2...KICKOUT!!

The crowd are still shocked at seeing Riley Williamson spiking Azreal with that spiked hurricanrana DDT. Riley rolls off, sitting in the ring and running a hand through his hair in frustration, genuinely taken aback at how difficult Azreal is making things for him. He takes a moment to breath before grabbing Azreal by the head and pulling him up onto his feet with him. As they reach their feet Riley looks to the turnbuckle and, with Azreal head in hand, charges forwards and just slams Azreal’s head first into the top turnbuckle with such force and he falls to the mat back first Riley is upon him immediately, mounting him and throwing lefts and rights directly at the head of Azreal. Riley continues to unleash on Azreal with those right hands, Azreal doing his best to block as many of the shots as he possibly can by lifting up his arms and using them as blockers. The punches keep coming until Azreal manages to catch one of the arms and use it to maneuver out from underneath Riley, pushing him away with a boot and quickly exiting the ring under the bottom rope. stands on the outside with his back to the ring, attempting to gain his bearings after getting punched in the face one too many times. Inside the ring Riley running the opposite ropes, rebounding and charging towards the ropes. Azreal turns around just in time to seen Riley leaping through the top and middle ropes and heading straight for him and this tiny little moment in time is just enough for him to dive out of the way, Riley hitting nothing the padded flooring as he crashes and burns in a brutal looking manner.

1.
As Ryn Sanu begins his ten count Azreal pushes himself up onto his feet from where he dived and spots Riley, laid out on the floor, not moving.

2..
Azreal quickly grabbing Riley and slowly pulling him up onto his feet, The Floridan Native providing nothing but dead weight as it seems like he is well and truly out right here. He pulls him towards the ring, lifting him up onto the ring apron and rolling him in beneath the bottom rope.

3…
With Riley back in the ring Azreal quickly slides in after him, breaking the referee’s count in the process and taking this match back to the relatively safer environment of the squared circle. He grabs Riley by the hair and slowly pulls him up onto his feet, the former Tag Team Champion showing no signs of fighting back as he remains completely out of it as a result of his own mistake. With Riley on his feet Azreal hooks an arm between the legs and the other around the shoulder and then scoops Riley up, showing impressive strength in the process especially with the height difference, and then flips him and sends him back first to the mat with a scoop slam right in front of the turnbuckle. Riley Williamson just hits the mat like a rock, still showing no signs of even knowing where he is right now and that is exactly what Azreal wants as The Former Hopeful Member turns to the turnbuckle and begins climbing it with his back to the former Knockout King Member who remains lying on the mat. Carefully Azreal makes his way up towards the top turnbuckle, remaining with his back to the ring when he makes it up there. He holds onto the bottom ropes, crouching down, before carefully standing on the top turnbuckle, his back to the ring, focusing on keeping his balance. When he makes it all the way up he takes a single glance back to make sure Riley is still in position, he is, and then leaps back! He flips in mid-air, looking to crash down belly-to-belly on Riley with a moonsault but as he’s flying Riley rolls towards the turnbuckle, out of the way of the moonsault and Azreal crashes down onto the mat stomach first!

Azrael presses his forearms onto his belly and rolls to his side, his eyes tightly shut as a reaction to dropping onto the mat from his risky aerial maneuver. He then unexpectedly starts talking to himself in a quick manner; berating himself for using such a move and fucking up. Now out of harm's way, Williamson raises one of his arms and tightly grips the middle rope; using it to pull himself back up to a vertical base. This is no easy task, however, Williamson looks exasperated from what he's gone through in this match. Nevertheless, upon seeing his crazed adversary down in the mat in pain, the former Hardcore Champion positions himself in front of the corners. Looking to perhaps take him out with another signature spear, he lowers his body and readies himself; his eyes looking at Azrael with purpose. The Maniac Unmasked eventually gets to one knee, wobbling a bit as he struggles to get back to his feet; completely unaware that Williamson is eyeing him like a predator at the moment. A few moments later, he gets back to his feet. He looks side to side wildly, looking for his opponent who is nowhere to be seen within his field of view. He proceeds to turn back; and like a bull's reaction to a matador's red cloth, Riley savagely charges at his opposition with an intent to end this match. He leaps up at the last second and wraps his arms around his opponent's waist; driving his shoulder into Azrael's abdominal area and forcing him down to the mat with a resounding thud. Riley momentarily gets off him as they hit the floor, whipping back and releasing momentum. At the same time, Azrael sits up in a knee jerk reaction, finding himself with his arms pressed to his stomach once again from the spear's impact. He isn't up for long as the former Hardcore Champion pushes him back down to the mat and covers him, prompting Ryu Sanu to drop down for the count.

|Referee| "One....two...thr-"

Somehow, Azrael still manages to get his shoulder up after that devastating tackle courtesy of the former Knockout King member, who was sure that the maneuver would finally knock out his maniacal opponent. Riley displays a look of shock, which soon turns to frustration as he argues with the zebra - striped official. He hastily stands up and holds up three fingers in front of the official, insisting that he had won the match. After the referee convinces Williamson that the former Hopeful member did get his shoulder up; Riley looks more determined to take out his opponent. He grabs the Pennsylvanian's arm and pulls him up to a rather unstable vertical base. Azrael isn't on the ground for long, as the Former New York Native bends forwards and hooks one of his opponent's legs then stands back up; hoisting Violet Eyes onto his shoulders with a fireman's carry - an impressive feat of strength considering his size. The XWA faithful begin to roar wildly, knowing that Williamson will soon end this with his signature F5. Before the former Hardcore Champion can even fling his opponent forwards to end this match, the Centralian Native suddenly uses his weight to his advantage; purposely making himself heavier. This proves to be an effective tactic, as it enables Azrael to swing himself behind Riley and land on his feet. Not giving Riley the chance to react, he quickly slings one of Riley's arms over his head and places a hand on his thigh. With all the strength he could possibly muster in his weakened state, Azrael raises the New Yorker above the ground and turns him 180 degrees, only to suddenly crash down into a sitting position; driving Williamson's head down to the mat in the process with an Omega Driver that the Maniac Unmasked calls Hush. The fans suddenly go silent as their hero goes from winning the match to getting knocked out cold in the blink of an eye. Azrael pushes the seemingly lifeless carcass to his side and takes a moment to catch his breath; then covers his opponent, hooking Riley's leg for the pin.

|Referee| "One....two...three!"

DING DING DING

Azrael lays down on the mat for a few seconds, taking a moment to let himself recover from his battle wounds. He eventually gets to one knee, then to his feet. Ryu Sanu approaches him and raises his arm while Laura Watts declares him as the winner. Azrael then slowly walks towards the ropes, looking to exit the ring. He takes one last look at the fallen Williamson and displays a look of pure bliss, then slides out of the ring.
