“One Step Closer” by Linkin Park starts playing as man wearing a black cloak walks down to the ring. As he enters black smoke fills the arena.
JS: The following match is an Escape From Hell match, with the winner gaining a shot at the European Title this coming Monday on UpRising. Coming to the ring from Hong Kong, weighing in at 289 lbs and standing at 6’5″, is the master of the IceBreaker. He is DON MEGA!!
SM: Our next match is the Escape From Hell match, as Jenny pointed out. For those unfamiliar with the rules, the winner is the man who knocks their opponent from the top of the cage and through a table in the ring!
The feedbacking chords to ‘Grasshopper’ by Ride kick in, and Northern Soul slowly emerges, taking each step slowly as he approaches the cell.
JS: And his opponent, hailing from Cumbria…
The crowd cheer their local hero.
JS: He stands at 6’5″ and weighs 220 lbs. He is the master of the Teardrop Explodes… NORTHERN SOUL!!
On reaching the door, he takes a deep breath before entering and sitting cross legged waiting for Don Mega.
DS: This ought to be a great match, Mayo. I haven’t witnessed one of these matches before.
SM: It’s a match introduced into the EWF by Neil McDougal, and he moved it into the old BWA too. It’s a match not to miss, that much I can tell you!
DS: And with what these two have been doing to each other over the past few weeks… they’ll be itching to finally get their hands on each other!
Don Mega and Northern Soul are in the ring as the cage is locked by referee Matt Slater. The bell isn’t even sounded before these two men start assaulting each other. They throw each other around and soon Mega is cut open above one eye. He soon exacts revenge as he cuts Northern open by throwing him into the cage wall.
DS: Ooh, blood! Both men cut open early on.
Soul and Don continue to just slug it out inside the cage, smashing each other into the cage, the ring-posts and the steel steps. Both men are worn down quickly, and struggling to continue. Don Mega pulls one of the weapons off the cage wall, choosing a chair. Northern is only just back to his feet after being slammed into the cage wall, and he gets taken down with a massive chair shot to the head. Northern, his face now covered in blood, is down and out. Mega sets up a ladder inside the ring before hoisting Soul’s body over his shoulder and climbing. He pushes Northern up onto the scaffolding, atop the cage, and then climbs back down to set up the table. He climbs the ladder again, taking a chair with him.
SM: Here we go, Dan, we could have a winner in a moment. Don Mega seems to have knocked Northern Soul out cold!
DS: And he’s setting things up for a big finish.
The two men stand on the scaffold at the top of the cage, Don Mega having pulled Northern back to his feet. Both men are bloody and battered. Mega begins working on Northern, weakening him even further. He signals to the crowd for the IceBreaker, his finishing move. Northern manages to escape somehow, and soon Mega is met with a savate kick to the throat from Northern, who has made a slight recovery. Mega goes down to one knee. Northern grabs the chair and lays 4 chair shots to Mega’s skull. Mega is trying to remain on his knee and not fall backwards off the cage but The 5th shot sends Mega through the opening and down through the table.
DS: THAT’S IT!!! OH MY GOD!! IS MEGA DEAD?
JS: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner…. NORTHERN SOUL!!
SM: And Northern Soul comes out of a bloody match with a big win, and the chance to face The Fallen Angel at UpRising on Monday, a shot at the European Title!
