Within seconds the flaws show in C5’s game plan as opposites attract in the collar and elbow tie-up, with Gabriel Vega’s technical expertise quickly shining through even the most ambitious attempts from C5 Ion to push forward, eventually succumbing to his opponents 30 pound advantage. Gabriel drives Ion back against the ropes, coming off them and shoving C5 with a tremendous thrust, Ion bouncing back right into the stiff shoulder of “The Mexistralian”. No sooner than the young highflying star had hit the mat, Vega drops an elbow down on his sternum and covers him quickly. One. Two. Ion kicks out, albeit coughing and spluttering as Vega presses both hands on his knee and rises to his feet with a grin, reaching down for C5 and trawling him onto his feet, only to unleash a swift uppercut slice and knock him off-balance. His footing betraying him, Ion stumbles backwards against the ring ropes, taken at the wrist and slung across the ring with an irish-whip, almost falling flat on his face Ion bounces from the ropes and back into Vega with an oncoming knee lift yet Ion defies the running strike! Latching onto the raised leg, Gabriel hobbles backwards in astonishment with one leg under arrest and Ion steals closer to Gabriel, grabbing the tights and hinting a Fisherman Suplex, Vega’s initial reaction is to reach out for the ring ropes and C5 pounces on the opportunity to lock Gabriel away in an Abdominal Stretch instead!


Ted Cedar
“C5 Ion showing a little technical ability here, how quickly he can switch things up, knowing Gabriel was going to reach over to the ropes. Check!”
Joey Miles
“Gabriel better damn win this time, or La Recolucion should kick his white Mexican ass out!”
Ted Cedar
“Word in the back tonight is Dominik Diveraz didn’t take too kindly to Vega losing, hence the reason Gabriel is out here alone tonight with no Recolucion members to be seen…”


Grabbing the ropes for dear life while the move is still in the early stages of its conception, Gabriel Vega immediately shoots a glare of bewilderment into c5 Ions eyes upon his release, feeling out-staged in his own department. Ion simply taps his temple and squeezes the space between his thumb and index finger, sending Vega into a snarling fit and Vega steps out from the ropes with his hands ready, suddenly abandoning everything and booting Ion on top of his head, spinning the young athlete to an about face and spiking him into the mat with a botched full nelson suplex, Ion head-standing into a dramatic flop beneath the bottom rope and to the floor outside. Clap Clap Clap Clap! Gabriel Vega begins the momentous clap that follows these predicaments, scouting C5 lurched over on the ringside, screaming “Now I’m gonna fuck with YOUR shit!” and breaking into a sprint to bounce off the ropes, only he doesn’t transform into a human torpedo and impale anyone, rather slows himself down to an abrupt stop and flips the crowd the finger, inciting a riot of boos before rolling ringside and stomping C5 flat. “YOU SUCK DOMINIK!” cries a fan. “I’M NOT DOMINIK YOU TWAT!” Gabriel snaps back, picking Ion from the mat and holding him in place with a Muay-Thai styled double-clinch, clobbering Ion with knee strikes, grunting with exertion as each knee finds its home in Ion’s abdomen, releasing C5 with a light shove into the apron behind him and burying his thumbs into Ion’s eyes!

Ted Cedar
“How despicable… his thumbs are basically pushing Ion’s eyeballs right out of their sockets!”
Joey Miles
“I could have sworn he got knocked the ff—“
Ted Cedar
“Here’s another cover by Gabriel Vega,”

The referee quickly stops the count-out and begins screaming HEY HEYY!?! Cautioning disqualification and Vega simply chuckles with his hands up playfully, offering them innocently only to scowl back at Ion and daze him with a punch, knocking Ion backwards and floundering into the ring. Vega claws up at the ropes and draws himself to an upright stance on the apron, wiping his boots before somersaulting off the top rope into a brutal Hilo landing, coming down on top of Ion and rolling upon his feet, turning for the cover. One… Two… KICKOUT! One… Two… KICKOUT!! One… Two!!! Vega doesn’t wait for the kickout, having already had two attempts at what should be an easy steal by now and the frustration begins to show. Taking Ion from the mat, Gabriel tears the South African toward the ccorner with an irish-whip, Ion saves face with an impressive handstand to guide himself backwards, stopping Vega in his tracks! Gabriel grabs up in waistlock, Ion ducks around Vega and grapples him up with a waistlock of his own, both men wrestling out of the corner and into the ring. The Mexistralian comes back with an arm-wringer wristlock combination but busts into a counter armdrag throwing Vega to the mat, who scrambles to his feet yet Ion arm drags yet again, looking for the dropkick yet Gabriel swats his legs aside, knocking him to the mat for a potential Boston Crab, kicked into the ropes by Ion, bouncing back only to deliver a stiff forearm to C5’s face, stumbling Ion with a knee lift, knocking Ion against the ropes, irish whip, typical reversal and Vega is taken for a ride, Ion leapfrogs Gabriel comes back with a head of steam, looking to bulldoze Ion down with a shoulder block, Only the clever South African takes him down in a drop-toe hold in own swift movement, floating over into an Armbar, twisting the left arm of Vega back unnaturally.

Ted Cedar
“Brilliant takedown by Ion.”
Joey Miles
“Rookie… cunt.”

Gabriel eventually finds a way to escape, putting his foot down to rise up from the mat and twists Ion back into an arm-wringer, Ion cartwheels his way free to thrust Vega across the mat with a fireman’s carry takeover, Vega typically is on his feet in sheer defiance of the wrestling maneuver, edging back against the ring ropes in all the hoohah to get some room to think yet having surprised Vega and bought some time, Ion swiftly floats around Vega in a Tilt-A-Whirl, looking for the Headscissors yet Vega won’t have it, grabbing Ion around the waist mid rotation and simply dropping him across his knee with a backbreaker! A cover is made but Ion kicks out, Gabriel reluctantly complying with the referee as Ion crawls upon his feet, despite the viciousness of the move, Ion uncomfortably smiles which pisses Gabriel off, jumping at the chance to fold Ion in half with a swift kick at the ribcage, tackling Ion into the corner and ruthlessly setting upon him with repeated shoulder thrusts to the gut, making sure every last knock reverberated right through him, backing away to charge at C5 yet Ion ducks down, virtually guiding Gabriel over the top rope and onto the ring apron, clipping Vega with a jumping kick in the face, knocking Vega to the floor clumsily, Vega takes a moment to regroup only to look back at Ion flying off the second turnbuckle to latch onto Vega like a monkey, swing him about and well monkey flip Gabriel into the crowd barricade! Vega certainly didn’t see that coming, finding himself thrust into the crowd barricade as the crowd marvel at the sheer randomness, and before they can digest it, C5 Ion then rises from the mat, jumping on the edge of the ring apron to revolve backwards with a MOONSAULT!!! The crowd chant THAT WAS AWESOME! And Ion is the first man to his feet just after the count of one, taking Gabriel by the head and neck and dumping him into the ring. Skipping onto the apron and clutching the top rope as Gabriel comes around, stumbling groggily with his hand on his stomach as Ion springboards, right into a vicious European uppercut in a swift and sudden movement from The Mexistralian! The ferociousness of the uppercut takes everybody by total surprise and Vega makes a cover


Joey Miles
“FUCK?!!”
Ted Cedar
“VEGA ALMOST BROKE ION’S FACE IN HALF, SWEET JESUS?!!“

“one… two…”


The crowd cheer as Ion pops a shoulder up from the mat after Vega scavenges with a cover and Gabriel smashes his fists down on the mat in a tantrum, scooping Ion from the mat and slamming him on his back, jumping into a knee-drop right on the forehead. Vega scowls down on the resilient C5 Ion, leaning down and prying him back to his feet, draping Ion’s arm over his neck and grabbing his tights for a suplex Ion suddenly rolls Vega up with an inside cradle! ONE TWO THRE- The referee pounds the mat in an excited fashion although just falls short of the three count, Gabriel shooting upright in surprise and wasting no time in catching Ion on the chin with a low dropkick, dampening down the cheers and crushing hopes in a typical villainous fashion. Gabriel Vega takes Ion by the wrists and presses his knee right into the South African’s back, overpowering Ion’s resistance to shakily cross Ion’s own arms around his throat and strangle Ion with his own limbs! Ion kicks his heels on the mat in a struggling panic, refusing to give in, and shakily defies the very strength of the submission, pulling his arms apart from him in a shaky yet intense fashion, and desperately headbutting backwards, catching Vega’s chest! Ion headbutts again, this time catching Gabriel’s gut and Vega drops the submission completely, Ion climbing to his feet. Vega relentlessly continuing to try submissions with a side headlock


Ted Cedar
“Vega is relentless, he’s looking to keep Ion as busy as possible here!”
Joey Miles
“Of course he is Ted, he’s a technical wrestler for fucks sake!!”


Ion elbows Vega in the face, blasting him with another blow, turning his offense up a notch and battering Vega in the face with a forearm! Vega staggers, stunned but not stunned enough to go without a fight, clobbering Ion back. Ion has too much invested in this moment, unloading another vicious forearm, both men clobbering one another back and forth until finally Vega cannot hide his pain no longer and dramatically succumbs to the fury, and given an inch Ion runs a mile… ploughing Vega down with a Rolling Savate Kick right in the gut! Gabriel curls and writhes on the mat, clutching his midsection and rolling about uncomfortably and the crowd know whats coming next, as C5 Ion dashes into a jumping springboard from the top rope, his body arched back as he flies almost majestically across the ring on his stomach for a moonsault. Vega;s body jolts under the impact and Vega turns around for the cover, only to watch Vega rolling beneath the bottom rope, throwing his arm over it and clinging on for dear life. The crowd boo Gabriel yet the cons don’t outweigh the pros fot too long, Ion suddenly flipping off the second rope in a moonsault right on the apron, crashing to the floor as a conseunce with a stiffened out Gabriel Vega hitting the floor behind him.


Ted Cedar
“What in the world?! C5 Ion just springboarded from the turnbuckle into an amazing moonsault! That was incredible!”
Joey Miles
“It looked more like a slingshot moonsault, Ted..“
Ted Cedar
“Whatever it was, it was very impressive. C5 Ion has this crowd on their feet.”
Joey Miles
“But more importantly, how great is Vega looking tonight!“


Ion takes Gabriel by the head and neck, spinning around to dump him into the ring, Gabriel throws his arm up to block Ions attempt, grabbing the bottom rope with both hands and hanging on them. C5 tries to pry him off, but with Vega not cooperating, hes dead weight and Ion instead kicks Vega across the gut, taking Vega by surprise and Gabriel stumbles to one knee just in front of the announce table and within Ion’s line of fire, C5 measuring Gabriel for a roundhouse kick snap yet Vega tears upright to catch Ion in a double leg lift, spinning around to splat the South African on top of the announcers box, as is, with a dramatic Spinebuster! The top of the table audibly cracks upon impact, with none of the usual preparations beforehand Ion;s back arches in sheer pain with the monitors underneath him and Gabriel grasps hold of C5 and tosses him into the ring, sliding in behind him and rising with a deliciously wicked grin on his face, picking his moment as C5 rises to clobber him to the mat with an explosive lariat, Ion rises out of sheer surprise to be struck with a second lariat, still not learning as he stands for more punishment and Vega rises in front of him, back-flipping and meeting Ion’s skull with his boot in overhead kick fashion staggering Ion into the middle of the ring as Gabriel takes to the corner, rocking and bobbing, arching back with a deep guttural “PUUUUUUUUTAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!” before charging at Ion and putting the South African down with a tremendous spear!


Ted Cedar
“SPEAR!!! SPEAR!!! SPEAR!!!”
Joey Miles
“BROKEN IN FUCKIN HALF, MA NIGGA!!!”


All that is left to do know is climb that hill and take advantage, Vega doing just that with a very confident grin to the cameras as he does so.


ONE…
TWO…
THREE!!!

DING DING DING!!!

“Here is your winner… GABRIEELLLLLL VEEEEEGAAAAA!!!”


Rompe by Daddy Yankee hits, and The Mexistralian celebrates his victory in the middle of the ring by dropping to both knees and giving the crowd the finger.


Ted Cedar
“Let’s hope this puts Vega back in the good books with La Recolucion Hispana, my goodness that was brutal!!!”
Joey Miles
“Future… Intercontinental… Champion.”

And the show goes on.
