Couple of things. Firstly, TJ told me he will be no showing. I'm not mad or anything, as he tried his hardest to make this a fun rivalry, which it certainly turned out to be. The timing was just off. So as a result of that, the ending became a little less than I would have actually done. I was going to add more when they are in the second cage, but I'd rather not burn myself out lol. Secondly, I was going to have some entrances, but can't bring myself to do them now. Doesn't really matter.

Also, if it's not too much to ask, I would really appreciate this receiving a grading still as I spent a lot of time on this trying to make it really good. I don't want to slow any future card down or anything, but I've posted legit matches several times now where my opponent didn't post. So I would greatly appreciate some feedback if possible.

XtremeMania is down to this. Down to its last match up. Down to the one match up that matters the most, the one that has everything riding upon it. It's not only for the glory of being called Champion, but for the pride of beating a former partner. Gaining revenge upon the other for causing misery in their career. Tonight, two men step inside XWA's trademark match on its biggest night of the year. Everything is riding on this. Personal doesn't cover it.

The show cuts into the start of a video package, with a deep voice delivering the voice over for the package. During the video are slow motion clips of both competitors since they both returned in 2013. All of the clips are in black and white and reflect what is being said at that moment.



Why...do we do this?

For glory? For honour? For the spirit of competition?

Why...do we do this?

For respect? For triumph? For the will to be the best?

Why...do we do this?

Two men, willing to put it all on the line for the right to be called Champion.

Two men, their careers intertwined in history, coming to a head in a story of revenge,

Two men, seeking to end the other's dream.

Two men, finally putting their hatred to rest in the most brutal way imaginable.

Tonight, two men will step inside the most evil, demonic and brutal structure in the history of the Xtreme Wrestling Association.

The Tower of Doom.

The Champion putting his prized possession on the line against the Challenger whose dream has yet to be realised.

David Michaels. Tyler Lawson. XtremeMania.

A collision course that is nearly five years in the making.

Tonight, all the pain, suffering and torment is realised. Tonight, one man will walk out of the Tower of Doom in victory, while the other will be able to leave on their own accord at all.

Tonight, a rivalry shall come to an end in the most sickest of fashions.

United they once stood. Tonight, one shall fall.

All for hatred of the other.

And for the love of the World...Heavyweight...Championship.



The second song then kicks in as the video package fades to black - the energy builds up dramatically and fits the sing very well. The passion and hatred between the two can be felt, as the package begins to highlight the storyline throughout the past month or so.

------

Cedar:
"Ladies and gentlemen, if you have not been watching for the past couple of months, you have missed a journey. A tale of two men fighting for different causes, but with the same goals. Their hatred has been felt around the World for years and now it shall finally come to an end. Which man will walk out of that structure with the World Heavyweight Champion - David Michaels or Tyler Lawson?"

Dennis:
"Cedar, as I've said to you for weeks, I'll be amazed if either man is walking out of this arena tonight. We are set for a brutal contest."

Cedar:
"Well the introductions are through and we are all but ready to get this contest under way."

Dennis:
"Let he mayhem begin!"

DING...DING...DING!!!

The referee appears to be happy with the proceedings, receiving from the descending second referee that the XWA World Heavyweight Champion is in place securely. After making one last quick check on both the competitors, the bell is sounded three times and the arena blows it's roof off for the singles biggest match of the year! The referee is now pretty much just there to call for the bell, as this match is literally anything goes. The only way to win is to ascend all three cages and pull down the World Heavyweight Championship. David Michaels and Tyler Lawson remain stood in opposite corners, looking more ready than they have ever been in their careers. Both hate the other with a distinct passion and both have been waiting for this encounter for a long time. Yes, they have faced one another in the past, but those bouts just never cut the mustard. This one shall end it all, who is the better man and who will have the bragging rights forever. The stakes couldn't be any larger if they tried and it couldn't have happened in a bigger stage either. The crowd is living up to this match's hype already, as they are utterly split between the two superb XWA Superstars. Large portions yell "TY-LER LAW-SON!" and the other half reply with "HBK!". The big match atmosphere can be felt around the arena and the people that have paid good money for their tickets already know that the ridiculous fee was entirely worth it to see this story's conclusion first hand. Both men slowly walk out of their corner and meet in the middle of the ring, continuing to stare at one another - the intensity is just oozing from the pair of them. Michaels raises his head, naturally trying to look more intimidating than his opponent, chewing his gum methodically. Lawson isn't remotely fazed by Michaels scare tactics and begins to talk a little smack to him, with Michaels retorting. The two men exchange insults for a good minute...

Cedar:
"In all the years I have called matches in this company, I have never felt anything like this before. The electricity in this arena right now is simply unbelievable and the hatred running between these two men as I speak, is something that only pictures can describe ladies and gentlemen. These two men know they are about to put their bodies and even their careers on the line just to get the last laugh over the other."

Dennis:
"Well these two men may be jaw jacking right now, but I can guarantee you that won't last much longer. That hatred is already on boil and it's just a matter of moments until it overflows, Cedar!"

Cedar:
"Ladies and gentlemen, we have done our best to present to you the hatred between both men, but even our best video work can not cover how these two men feel right no---AND HERE WE GO!"

Dennis:
"OHHH IT'S FINALLY ON!"

The jaw jacking ends. The talk is finally over. The wait has stopped. Lawson decides he is through with talking crap to Michaels and cracks him in the jaw, kicking this match off to the sheer jubilation of the crowd in attendance! Michaels instantly replies with a stiff right hand of his own, as Lawson immediately follows that up as well! Michaels hits another right, Lawson with the reply. Michaels again. Lawson rebounds. The crowd are already back and forth here with their cheers, as both men go wild with the right fists to the other. It is Lawson that manages to string together a couple of right hands in, getting the early advantage on Michaels. Lawson punches him back towards the ropes, pushing him off and whipping him across the ring. The defending Champion bounces off the ropes and rebounds back, Lawson missing a Clothesline as Michaels ducks it and bounces off the ropes again. Lawson stays planted in his position and turns his head, looking for the incoming opponent and lashes out with a Back Elbow, only for Michaels to duck underneath that too and bounce of the ropes again. Lawson does a complete 360 degree turn, as David Michaels rebounds back in once again. Michaels then leaps into the air and collides with Lawson, taking him down with a Lou Thez Press and unleashes a flurry of rapid rights to his skull! The HBK fans go wild, as Michaels' rage can clearly be felt with every passing right. Lawson pushes him off, both men clambering up to their feet. Michaels bounces off the ropes once again, as Lawson stumbles across towards to opposite set. The Showstealer decides to claim his territory and Clotheslines Tyler Lawson over the top rope and out of the ring, to the floor below! Lawson flips over, rolling into the cell wall as Michaels turns around and feeds off the crowd. Lawson sits up, holding his face, as Michaels then stands on the bottom rope above him and begins to yell "THIS IS MY RING!" several times over.

Cedar:
"And Michaels taking Lawson out of the ring early on here...and staking his claim as to who that ring belongs to, Adam."

Dennis:
"Well Michaels has that right to claim he's the dog that owns that yard and Lawson is the challenger here...and right now, the current owner has the upper hand and he's going to show Lawson of that fact the hard way."

Cedar:
"Lawson looks on, as Michaels is truly fired up for this one Adam, clearly not intimidated by the structure that surrounds him."

Dennis:
"Well he may not be intimidated by it now, but that's because it hasn't came into play yet. Right now, it's just a big piece of metal keeping these two inside. Wait until they start to climb it."

David Michaels stands in the middle of the ring, as Tyler takes his time getting back up to his feet. The two continue to lock those eyes, not allowing them to be out of their sight for one moment. Lawson cracks his neck and climbs back up onto the ring apron, still staring at his former DxWo stable mate. He holds onto the ropes and slowly climbs through them, back into the ring, still keeping his eye on Michaels who is just stood in the centre watching him. As The Instant Classic enters, David Michaels slowly takes a few steps back and the two men begin to circle one another before both bursting towards the centre and locking up. Michaels quickly grabs Lawson's left arm and twists it around, however Tyler isn't going to be out done twice in a row. He quickly grabs hold of Michaels' arm and twists it round rapidly, several times, until Michaels has no choice but to completely flip over and lands on his back on the mat. The Showstealer quickly nips back up but Lawson doesn't allow him to twist round, for he does it himself and forces Michaels to flip over onto his back again! Michaels thumps the mat in frustration with his left foot, before nipping back up a second time. AS he does, Lawson pushes him back towards the ropes and whips him off. Lawson goes for that Clothesline a second time, but again Michaels ducks it and rebounds off the ropes. Coming back in, he ducks a Lawson Back Elbow that seems all too familiar. He bounces off the ropes again and leaps into the air, actually looking for that Lou Thez Press a second time! But Michaels arrogance perhaps gets the better of him here, as Tyler Lawson has it completely scouted. He catches Michaels in mid and suddenly jolts backwards across the ring, dumping Michaels up and over the top rope to the floor! Michaels, much like Lawson before him, rolls straight into the cell wall. Michaels sits up, holding his left arm that was not only twisted round by Tyler, but landed awkwardly upon in the fall. Lawson then completely mimics Michaels by standing on the bottom rope, looking down to him and yelling out "WHO'S RING IS IT NOW?!". The crowd are eating this for breakfast and this is only just getting started!

Cedar:
"And now it's Lawson that is the one to claim his territory! I don't think Michaels saw that one coming at all, Adam!"

Dennis:
"Michaels got suckered into familiarity. He thought Lawson was going to be stupid enough to fall for the same sequence, when it ended up being him that's the stupid one!"

Cedar:
"Obviously these two know each other very well, but mind games are certainly coming into play already in this match."

Dennis:
"Well they were always going to. They feel the need to one up the other and have been trying to do that for weeks. It sure as hell wasn't going to stop tonight..."

The defending World Heavyweight Champion stretches his arm out as he gets back up to his feet, furious that the challenger just mocked him. The ref talks to Lawson, asking him to back up to allow Michaels back into the ring, which he does. David slowly climbs up onto the apron, keeping his eyes locked on perhaps the biggest threat in his career, before climbing through the ropes. The ref doesn't come between them again, as both are now circling the other in the ring, before the pair lock up once again. Michaels, though, isn't going to be playing fair in this contest. As soon as the two superstars connect arms, Michaels shoves his right knee out and plants it directly into Lawson's gut. Bending over, Lawson is then cracked in the back of the skull with a stiff Elbow Smash. Tyler drops to one knee, holding his head, as David bounces to the ropes. He charges in, as Lawson stands back up straight. Wishing he hadn't just done that, Lawson is floored with a hard Clothesline, the back of his head smashing into the mat hard. He bounces right back up, but runs directly into a second Clothesline, once again hurting his head. Refusing to stay down, Tyler Lawson gets back to his feet, albeit gingerly, and wanders over to the corner. Michaels follows him in and connects with a Knife Edge Chop. Lawson cringes at the pain, before he is whipped across the ring. He smashes, back first, into the opposite turnbuckle pads and leans there. Michaels then charges across and leaps into the air, looking for a Stinger Splash. The challenger ducks out of the way at the last moment and Michaels is left to eat the top turnbuckle pad! David stumbles around, holding his face and walks right into Lawson's grip. Tyler locks his hands around Michaels waist and pops those hips, tossing him overhead with a nicely done Belly-to-Belly Suplex! Michaels holds his spine as he does his best to get back to his feet. Once he does, he is quickly grabbed from behind by Lawson, locking those hands once again and launching Michaels backwards with a German Suplex! The momentum sends Michaels rolling over himself and directly out of the ring, hitting the floor hard and then smashing side first into the cell wall! The Lawson fans go wild, as Michaels doesn't know what just hit him.

Cedar:
"Lawson takes the upper hand with a couple of delightful suplexs. Lawson is known for connecting very well with a suplex and he just demonstrated that right there, Adam, with Michaels being the volunteer."

Dennis:
"Michaels thought he was just starting to get some control in this match and just like that, Lawson can turn it around. I think the Champion is taking the challenger very lightly here..."

Cedar:
"Well Michaels wasn't taking Lawson lightly this past week on Vendetta, stating that he will pretty much end hi career inside this cage...but the early going suggests Michaels' ego could already be a problem."

Dennis:
"Haven't I been saying that all along? Michaels is an idiot and I will be amazed if he can walk out with the title tonight..."

Unlike earlier, Tyler Lawson doesn't bother waiting for his opponent to get back into the ring - he takes the fight to the outside and climbs through the ropes! He jumps down right next to Michaels, who is trying to get up. Lawson grabs a chunk of his hair and drives his head straight into the cell wall. His skull bounces off like a ball, as he stumbles sideways towards the corner of the cell. Lawson follows the World Champion and grabs his head again, once again smacking it into the cell wall. Lawson then refuses to let go and pushes his opponents face into that cold steel, grinding it slightly left and right repeatedly. Michaels screams out in pain, as Lawson's expression displays the hate and frustrations he's been feeling for this man for nearly five years. He eventually lets go and David collapses to his knees. Tyler looks up, as he gets the consistent mixed reaction due to both men being strong fan favourites. Michaels continuously checks his face, looking for blood - he doesn't find any, as Lawson is now looking around ringside. There are several ladders stood up around the ring, all four ranging in sizes. The smallest of the four, which is still rather tall, is just to their left in front of the entrance way. Tyler walks over to it and hits the rods holding the two sides in place. He slowly pushes the two sides together, with a struggle, and pushes it over so it's leaning on the ropes. He is about to pick it up from the bottom and push it into the ring, but he looks to his left and sees Michaels getting back up to his feet. He instantly drops the ladder and rushes over to him, clocking him in the face with a stiff right fist. Michaels dramatically stumbles around and leans back first on the cell wall. Lawson then charges in only for David to ducks down and let Tyler run straight into the steel! Michaels' fans have something to cheer about again, as Lawson really cracks his jaw on the steel badly. The World Heavyweight Champion then stumbles around and towards to apron, dropping down to his knees and looking underneath the ring searching for a weapon. After a few moments, he eventually emerges with a black steel chair in hand. Standing back up, he moves the steel chair around in his hands making sure it is the right way. He turns to Lawson, who is also turning around from hitting the cell wall and as he does, Michaels raises the chair above his head and brings is crashing down across Lawson's skull! The sound echoes around the arena, as Tyler Lawson drops to the floor like he's just been shot.

Cedar:
"The sickening sounds of steel on skull...and steel wins every time!"

Dennis:
"You see the dent in that chair?! It's now customised for Tyler Lawson's face to rest in!"

Cedar:
"Lawson was perhaps going for the ladder a little early and it allowed Michaels to catch his breath...and now Michaels may just go nuts with this chair."

Dennis:
"He better, frankly. Lawson has already shown him he can change this match round in a heartbeat!"

Lawson turns to his side, as Michaels raises the now dented chair above his head again. He brings it down upon his long time enemy a second time, smashing it into his rib cage. He raises it up again and delivers a third blow, then a fourth and a fifth! Lawson is completely defenceless here, as he remains on the floor trying to cover up. Michaels furiously throws the chair away, landing in the ring. He then turns around, satisfied that Lawson is down for at least a while, and grabs onto the ladder Tyler brought into attention moments earlier. As the challenger lies on his side trying to recover from the sickening chair shots, Michaels slowly pushes the ladder over to top rope and into the ring. It clunks down as it sits flat on the ring mat. Michaels then turns to the left and walks back over to Lawson, pulling him up and grabbing hold of his arm. With all his strength, Michaels leans back and Irish Whips Tyler Lawson directly into the steel steps. Much like when the pair faced off in a tag match a few weeks ago, Lawson attempts to put the brakes on to no avail. Instead of going into the steps shoulder first, he remains upright and collides into them knees first! He flips over the steps and hits the steel wall, back first, before falling to the ground. His heavily braced right knee, which is wearing a chunkier knee brace than usual, is the focus of the pain he is feeling right now as he clutches onto it. David looks on, pleased with the results and heads back around the ring. Michaels shoves a camera man out of the way, always annoyed the ring workers get themselves in the line of fire. Once round the other side, he grabs hold of a second, slightly larger, ladders and closes it. Struggling with the limited space, Michaels battles to get the ladder under the bottom rope. He eventually manages, but with a few curse words along the way. He joins the ladder in the ring and picks it up, setting it up in the centre of the squared circle right underneath the hatch above. He then takes the second ladder and picks it up, carrying over to one side of the standing ladder. He places the top step of the ladder in between two rungs of the other ladder and rests the other side across the top rope creating a platform. The fans take interest, as the clogs can be seen turning inside the World Champion's head.

Cedar:
"What is Michaels up to here?"

Dennis:
"What, did you honestly think they would only use the ladders for climbing to the next cage?"

Cedar:
"That's not what I meant...just what does Michaels have planned here?"

Dennis:
"Pain. It always results in pain..."

Lawson, meanwhile, has since begun hobbling up to this feet and is leaning on the ring apron. Michaels, finished reorganising the furniture in the match, sprints across the ring and Baseball Slides the challenger ring in the chest. Lawson is launched back into the cell wall again, as Michaels slides the rest of his body out of the ring to join him. He reaches down and picks Lawson up and instantly targets the right knee. He actually starts to attempt to take it off, which actually wakes Lawson up almost and cracks Michaels in the skull several times. Michaels is relentless, however, and continues to try and unfasten the thing. But he doesn't achieve his goal as Tyler instead sends the braced knee directly into his face. The World Heavyweight Champion backs away and wanders round to the other side of the ring. Tyler Lawson, with a slight hobble, follows him and connects with a Clothesline knocking Michaels to the floor. Unable to help it, Michaels breaks his fall with the use of his left arm and re-flames the pain he's had all month with it since the Elimination Chamber match at King of Xtreme. This buys Lawson a few moments to recover and checks the knee brace is still fastened tightly, after which he turns around and starts pulling at the steel steps he was sent into earlier. He takes the top part and carries it to the side of the ring, dropping it on the floor. He then turns to Michaels and helps him up, pulling him over to the steps. Lawson then stands on top of the steps and pulls Michaels head in between his legs - looking for the Piledriver! The fans all get to their feet and raise their cameras and phones, ready to capture the sickening moment. The Instant Classic pulls at Michaels waist as much as he can, trying to get him up in the air. He only manages to get him half way, before Michaels decides to dead weight the whole move and drops back to his feet. Lawson tries it again, only managing to get him half way once more before Michaels drops back down. Lawson, frustrated his plan isn't working, lets go of Michaels and clubs him in the back several times over in anger, before trying to move for a third time. As he reaches down to relock his hands around Michaels' waist, Lawson suddenly finds himself lifted up into the air by the right leg and is viciously dropped directly down onto the top of the steel steps right on that braced knee. Lawson screams out in pain, as his entire weight falls on his leg as it folds with connection to the steel. He hobbles back, holding it in agony, Michaels dodging a seriously bullet with that one. Lawson leans on the steel wall, taking the weight off of the knee, while The Showstealer slowly backs up and turns around, looking at Lawson in pain. Michaels then sprints back towards the steps as fast as he can and launches off of them. He lands right on top of Lawson and sends both men into the steel wall with tremendous force via a Crossbody Splash, or a variation of one at least! Both men fall to the floor, as Michaels accidentally smashes his head off the steel and Lawson's entire rear portion of his body just nails to the steel wall.

Cedar:
"Michaels taking an awful risk there and appears to have actually hurt himself in the process of hurting Lawson. However it's a small price he had to pay in order to not be Piledriven into the steel steps."

Dennis:
"I'm still hoping he'll get some sense knocked into him...it could have happened right there!"

Both men lay on thin mats around the ringside area, as the camera gives us a wide shot of the giant Tower of Doom structure that's placed in the centre of 60,000 plus strong in the Staples Centre! Both men get encouragement from their fellow fans, as neither really wants to even get up due to the craziness of this match they have yet to embark upon. However, the match goes on and David Michaels is the first one to start getting to his feet. He crawls over towards the ring apron and pulls himself up, taking a few moments to catch his breath as he watches Lawson attempting to do the same. The World Champion decides to get back into the ring and clambers through the ropes, stumbling in the process as his foot catches on the bottom rope. He uses the upright ladder in the middle to regain his balance and slowly attempts to ascend up the side. His arm is causing him some difficulty, as he struggles to put as much weight on it as he would normally like. However, he manages to get about half way up as Tyler Lawson climbs onto the ring apron. The fans watch on, wondering what he'll do. They get a shock - Lawson holds onto the top rope and pulls himself up, springboarding off the top and Missile Dropkicks Michaels off the ladders! The World Heavyweight Champion goes flying across the ring and slams down hard on his left arm, screaming out in pain as Lawson clumsily lands down on the mat. The fans all cheer Lawson, as he rarely does any high flying moves, being a more technical based competitor. That one move alone shows that Lawson will change his usual game plan if it was called for and it certainly was then. He makes his way back to his feet and spots the steel chair that Michaels threw in earlier. He walks over to it and picks it up, observing the dent his head moulded into it earlier. He then raises it above his head and brings it crashing down on Michaels injured left arm, hitting it over and over again until the arm begins to turn red. Michaels is literally screaming out in complete pain, as Lawson refuses to quit the assault!

Cedar:
"Lawson has snapped here! Shot after shot after shot to that injured left arm of the World Heavyweight Champion!"

Dennis:
"Pay back from earlier I think. It's that one-upmanship routine again - anything Michaels can do, Lawson can do...eerrmmm...far more brutally, I guess!"

Lawson still nails that arm repeatedly, determined to injure Michaels for good let alone in this match! The fans can barely watch, as he eventually tosses the chair to one side looking down at Michaels laid on his side like a child, wrenching in pain. Lawson wipes a little sweat away from his brow, as he reaches down to Michaels and grabs hold of that left arm. He drags him several feet, backwards, across the ring and smashes the arm into the mat with brute force. Michaels screams out again, instantly clutching wanting the pain to disappear. Lawson then spreads the arm out, forcefully, before giving it a stiff stomp with his right foot. Michaels holds onto it again as Lawson picks up the steel chair once again. This time he lays it flat on the canvas and pulls Michaels up by that hurting left arm. He wraps his left arm around his own back and position him, from behind, for a Suplex with the arm completely trapped. He pops his hips and lifts him into the air, before dropping him down directly onto the steel chair with a Belly-to-Back Suplex. Michaels whole body crushes the left arm into the chair and his screams are the worst so far, as the fans even felt that one. The 2013 King of Xtreme Winner gets back up to his feet and doesn't show any signs of emotion, as he sees his once stable mate rolling around on the mat in agony - there is no time for sentiment in this match, not that he wanted to give him any to begin with! Believing Michaels isn't getting up any time soon, Lawson walks over to the upright ladder, hobble and all, and makes sure it's secure enough to climb. After taking a little while to get it completely balanced, Tyler Lawson finally begins to climb up the ladder and looks to head into the next cage above. The injured right knee isn't making this process any easier, however, and he takes his sweet time as a result. Lawson finally makes it to the top and begins to figure out how this trap door actually opens. He pushes at it several times, the sides catching on the cell ceiling as it's not exactly the most hand crafted of structures. This gives David Michaels precious seconds to get back up to his feet, albeit with an utterly useless left arm now. Michaels climbs onto the second ladder that he constructed to rest on the upright ladder earlier and climbs up the upright ladder on the opposite side to Lawson. As soon as he is able to reach Lawson in any capacity, Michaels swings his right arm up and hits him in the gut. Lawson replies with a stiff right hand of his own, before returning to try and open this hatch. Lawson eventually manages it and it swings open. Michaels smacks him in the gut again, refusing to let him climb up. Lawson leans over, almost losing his balance in the process. The ladder is not Lawson's strong suit to say the least and Michaels is a little more comfortable with the scenario in hand...

Cedar:
"Lawson has managed to get the trap door open, but Michaels is right on his heels here and not letting him get up to that second cage."

Dennis:
"Well it's smart, frankly. Even though Michaels arm was just outright assaulted by Lawson, he still knows he can not let his enemy get the jump on him to that second cage. If Lawson gets a cage between the two of them, it's game over..."

The pair continue to battle at the summit of the ladder, refusing to allow the other to gain the upper hand here. Lawson, still not fully finding his balance, leans forwards once again as Michaels reaches around his head and hooks it with his left arm. Michaels then pulls backwards, dragging Lawson head first over the ladder with a Suplex type motion. The fans all watch on in horror, as both men fall backwards off the ladder and come crashing down to the one below them! Michaels loses his balance in mid flight and flips down with Lawson, accidentally managing to turn the whole move into a Jackhammer variation! Michaels lands on top of Lawson as his back cracks into the ladder, breaking it clean in half! The capacity crowd react with a giant "OHHHHHHHH!", as the ladder splits in two and both men lay among it's shattered remains. The crowd reaction soon changes into a wild "HOLY SHIT!" chant, as Lawson is screaming out in pain from the collision and the World Heavyweight Champion is laid out cold next to him.

Cedar:
"My God, both men go crashing through the damn ladder! I think Michaels lost his balance once Lawson' weight was off the ladder, which caused him to fall down and make Lawson's landing even worse!"

Dennis:
"The ladder snapped clean in half!"

Lawson's back is now killing him and David's weight coming down on top made the whole impact far more brutal. Those screams have now silenced, as Lawson just lies with a painful expression on his face. Michaels slowly begins to move around, rolling over onto his stomach and reaching over to the ropes. He takes his time to get back up, as he gets to one knee and pulls his hair to the back of his head. He takes a look at his opponent, noticing that he's hurt far worse from that exchange. He gets back up and takes a moment to think of what to do next, looking at the ladder that's now underneath that open hatch. He takes another look at Tyler, who clearly isn't moving and decides he has a chance to get to the next cage on his own accord. The Showstealer starts to ascend the ladder, rung by rung, with his aching left arm. Managing to get about half way up, Michaels stops and checks that Lawson isn't moving...but mainly checks on his arm. Seeing Lawson still down, Michaels continues to climb up the ladder and gets near the top. By now, Tyler Lawson is starting to come around and sees his foe making his way up to the next section of the structure. This sight alone gives Lawson the strength he needs and he gets back up to his feet, to the joy of his fans. Michaels is now beginning to climb through the hatch, albeit badly with his dodgy left arm. Lawson has now been able to get to the top and punches Michaels in the gut several times over, preventing him from going any further. Michaels attempts to fight back, punching Lawson back, but Tyler is now too fired up to back down, unleashing a flurry of hell in the form of rights and lefts into Michaels abdomen and left arm. The challenger then reaches up and grabs hold of the trap door and swings it back, smashing it right on top of Michaels head! The mesh in the trap door bends, as Michaels instantly holds onto his forehead where the door caught. Blood slowly begins to trickle down from the point of contact, as he's out on his feet. Lawson then holds onto that same trap door as he punches Michaels in the head further. The World Champion starts to lose his balance, before he still has the whereabouts to also hold onto the hatch. Both men then start to kick one another, completely rocking the ladder underneath. Tyler Lawson then goes for one kick to many for as he goes to whack The Showstealer in the gut, he accidentally pushes the ladder over and it tumbles to the mat! The crowd takes rapid photo shots, as the two XWA Superstars are literally hanging from their hands at the top of the cell! Lawson looks down at the ladder, which hit the ropes and then folded shut, wondering how the hell he manages that!

Cedar:
"My God, both men just hanging from the top of the damn cell! Something has to give here!"

Dennis:
"Well they can't even open the hatch, as they are hanging from it!"

Cedar:
"Both men are STILL attacking one another!"

Dennis:
"These two are nuts!"

Both men swing back and forth, trying to still kick one another in each of their sides. However, it isn't too long until Michaels left arm completely gives way and his whole body weight is pulling down on his remaining right arm. Lawson goes in for the kill, kicking him as much as he can. Michaels looks down, seeing his fate below him - he decides to take an insane risk. Using what energy he has, he swings forwards and brings both of his legs up into the air and wraps them around Lawson's head. He then completely lets go of the cell and intends on bringing Lawson down...but the challenger thinks otherwise - he holds onto Michaels' legs and brings the pair tumbling down to Earth, slamming Michaels spine first into the mat from 15 feet above the ring with one of the most sick and insane Powerbombs the Xtreme Wrestling Association has ever seen! The whole arena bursts into another "HOLY SHIT!" chant and doesn't leave it for a good thirty seconds. Both men are flat out in the centre of the ring, narrowly missing the fallen ladder. Lawson lies on his side, holding his leg in agony after it taken far too much from that landing and David Michaels lies opposite him with his arms and legs spread out entirely, knocked out, as blood continues to slowly trickle down from his forehead.

Cedar:
"I have never seen anything like that in my life! A Powerbomb from the ceiling of the cell. That's got to be over fifteen feet, Adam!"

Dennis:
"What in the blue hell was Michaels thinking of there?! He would have been better just dropping down on his own free will than allowing Lawson to do that!"

Cedar:
"I'll be amazed if his back isn't broken..."

Dennis:
"...well at the very least his face is now busted from that door slamming into his skull. These two already needs to hospital."

The fans are loving this, as they play tug of war with the chants for either men once more. Tyler has since managed to drag himself to the corner and is sitting up, using the bottom and middle rope for support. He feels out his right knee, not happy with it in the slightest. He gives a few punches in frustration, before he looks over to see a bloody Michaels not moving on the mat. Now is Lawson's time to get the job done. He pulls himself up as fast as he can muster and head over to the fallen ladder, picking it up and standing it upright under the hatch. He is about to climb up it, but a light bulb switches on above his head. He climbs back off the bottom rung and drags Michaels up to his feet. He then whips him off the ropes and Michaels pretty much collapses into them, bouncing off without any fight. Lawson then catches him and flips him around, dropping him down with a Powerslam. Michaels can't take much more right now and simply doesn't know where in the hell he is. Tyler gets back to his feet, satisfied that the damage has now been down and heads out of the ring, lifting up the ring apron and searches around. After a few moments or rummaging around, The Instant Classic pulls out a shiny new wooden table - which receives a cheap pop in the process! Lawson pulls it out entirely and pushes it into the ring, sliding as far as he can, before then walking further around the ring and grabbing the third ladder. He folds it shut before leaning it on the top rope and then slides into the ring. He wanders over to the table and begins setting it up, struggling, as all wrestlers do, in actually lifting the thing up once the legs are out stretched. Eventually managing to do so, he pushes it into the centre of the ring before heading back to the outside of the ring and starts pushing the ladder in from the outside in. Almost in, Lawson climbs up onto the apron and pushes the ladder over the top rope, when he soon realises that David Michaels is back on his feet...somehow! Michaels charges across the ring, his left arm dangling down and throws his feet up, Dropkicking the ladder. The steel contraption jolts backwards and shoves Tyler Lawson right off the ring apron, sending him flying back first into the cell wall. The force is that great, the cell wall splits and Lawson is sent tumbling backwards through it and hits the front of the announce table, knocking it back several feet! The ladder thuds to the floor, as Michaels lands on his bad arm in the ring from the Dropkick. Once more, the fans can't help but chant "HOLY SHIT!" for the third time in this match!

And Cedar's quote at the end about Lawson's career being over is the gospel truth. I realized last night that fedding had become a chore again. It had been interfering with my school work for a while now, but it was still fun. I was still enjoying it...but not anymore. I'm just not meant to be world champ, I guess, and I accept that now.

I had wanted to quit since my match vs Dante, honestly. But when I pulled that win out of my ass, I knew then and there that I would win KoX, and I didn't want to let anyone down. So I stuck it out, and now, here I am letting Chilly down at XM. I apologize, but I just don't want to do this anymore.

Random Dante mention.  

But dammit I wanted to face you!

On a more serious note though, very sad to see you go, you were a great competitor and this is a big loss to the main event scene. Hopefully you can return sometime, though.

Sorry this took so long.
