Kevin Hardaway & Jason Talbot vs. Leon Stone & Damien Baine
Randy Long:“This match is a tag-team contest and is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first.. the team of Leon Stone and Damien Baine.. Flux in Motion!”
“Supernatural” by Monocle hits. Leon Stone and Damien Baine come out together, running down to the ring high fiving and shaking hands. They slide into the ring running from corner pumping the crowd up. The crowd chants their names and slowly the hooplah calms down, and the team retreats to their corner.
Dave White:“That Damien guy looks familiar… but I can’t place it.”
“Self Esteem” by the Offspring kicks in as Kevin Hardaway, in a FRONTIER t-shirt, makes his way to the ring.
Jenni Starr:“And their opponents; Introducing first, from Baltimore, Maryland, weighing in at 236 pounds… representing Pro-Wrestling FRONTIER… KEVIN HARDAWAY!”
Hardaway stops half way down the ramp, looking back to the curtain and waiting on his partner. “Just Close Your Eyes” begins to play as Jason Talbot appears.
Jenni Starr:“And his partner, from Northern Ireland, weighing in at 240 pounds… JASON TALBOT!”
Talbot and Hardaway bump fists and chat to each other briefly before heading the rest of the way to the ring.
Tony D:“We’re all set to go in this contest, which should be a cracking contest!”
Stone and Talbot to start. Talbot with a side headlock into a take down and keeps Leon grounded for a few seconds. Both men up and Leon sends Talbot to the corner, goes for a right, but Talbot ducks, hits the ropes and clotheslines Stone. Bulldog and a cover for 1…2..NO!
Tony D:“Bit early for a cover.”
Dave White:“Talbot trying his luck, it would seem.”
Talbot tweaks the arm of Leon Stone then calls for a tag. Hardaway is in with a kick to the gut then a snapmare into a kick to the back. Pin for 1..No! Hardaway with a suplex but Leon floats out and kicks Hardaway in the gut. DDT from Stone. Stone pulls K-Hard back to his feet but is met with a big European uppercut, followed by a kick to the gut and a DDT of his own. Hardaway pulls Stone up again, walks him to his corner and tags Jason Talbot back in.
Tony D:“A couple of quick tags from the FRONTIER guys in the early stages.”
Kris Red:“Smart move, keeping them fresh while they work over Leon Stone.”
Talbot with a side headlock and Leon is trying to get out of it with a kick then a punch. A whip, and Talbot goes for a couple of punches, but Leon ducks them. Throat thrust rocks Talbot and gives Leon the chance to tag in Baine. Baine is primed, goes in with some hits but gets hit hard and is sent to the mat. Talbot does a cocky strut, looking at Stone, only for Baine to attack from the back.
Dave White:“A lapse in concentration from Talbot, that could cost him.”
Kris Red:“Man, you can’t turn your back on a guy like Damien Baine.
Talbot gets the upper-hand back with a series of good moves, including a nice stalling suplex that gets him a two count, with Leon Stone coming in to break up the pin. Stone is chased out of the ring by the referee as Baine is back to his feet. Talbot tries a clothesline but Damien ducks, grabbing his opponent. Baine has a headlock on Talbot for a while, and Talbot begins to fade. He tells the ref he’s alright though, then forces Baine towards Hardaway. He can’t reach him, so Talbot hits a suplex to Baine.
Tony D:“Both men down, the crowd cheering them on, their partners calling for tags!”
Dave White:“And who’s going to get the tag first?”
Baine stirs, onto his knees, leaps forwards and tags Stone and Leon comes in with a nice looking dropkick on the oncoming Talbot. Pin for 1…2..NO!! Stone drops about 8 elbows onto Talbot before pinning Talbot for 2. Stone pulls Talbot to his corner, connecting with a mix of stomps and chops while Baine cheers him on.
Kris Red:“Stone and Baine keeping Talbot in that corner, that’s smart.”
Baine gets a blind tag, jumping into the ring and continuing where Stone left off. DDT gets him a two count. Talbot sat up, Baine locks in a sleeper. Talbot is able to stand up, lifts Baine up onto his back and jumps backwards! Talbot crawls to his corner, looking for the tag!
Tony D:“Double tag!”
Dave White:“A fresh Hardaway is in!”
Hardaway with a punch to Stone. And another. A swinging neckbreaker. High knee to the jaw and a bulldog as he calls for the Asylum Bomb!!? Stone counters and falls off the shoulders, only for Hardaway to hit the KTFO~! and a pin for 1…2..BROKEN UP BY BAINE!!!
Kris Red:“That was a close call!”
Talbot is in and takes Baine down with a spear! The two brawl as Hardaway grabs Stone. ASYLUM BOMB!! He covers… but the ref isn’t looking, he’s trying to break up Talbot and Baine! Hardaway stops the pin, grabs the ref and points to Leon Stone out on the canvas. He argues with the ref for a moment before turning to his partner. Hardaway pulls Talbot off Baine and tells him to get out so he can pin Stone. Talbot nods and gets out of the ring while Hardaway pushes Baine onto the ring apron. Hardaway turns back to Stone and goes to pick him up, possibly to do the Asylum Bomb again? SMALL PACKAGE!! 1… 2… HARDAWAY ESCAPES!
Tony D:“Leon Stone almost stole it there!”
Dave White:“That was a close call.”
K-Hard looks annoyed and grabs Stone, whipping him into the ropes. DECAP LARIAT! He signals for the end, but Baine got a sneaky blind tag in when Stone was rebounding off the ropes and he’s the legal man. He charges at Hardaway. DECAP LARIAT! He just stole Hardaway’s move, covers, 1… 2… NO! Talbot breaks up the count.
Talbot steps back out of the ring as Baine hoists Hardaway back to his feet. Baine goes for a suplex, taking Hardaway back to the mat. Baine steps up onto the second turnbuckle and connects with a legdrop, trying again for a cover. 1…2… Shoulder up from Hardaway. Hardaway fights his way back to his feet, grabs Baine and tosses him into the corner where Talbot is. Talbot is cheering on his partner and gets the tag. Talbot climbs the top rope while Hardaway suplexes Baine into the air, holding him there. Talbot flies with a cross body, taking Baine down hard. Hardaway celebrates, and almost doesn’t notice that Baine rolled over and is now pinning Talbot! 1…2… NO! Talbot escapes.
Kris Red:“Man, that was a close one.”
Dave White:“Hardaway took his eye off the ball for a second and almost missed that, fortunately Talbot had the whereabouts to kick out.”
Tony D:“Fortunately? Way to stay impartial, Dave.”
Dave White:“I meant fortunately for them.”
Stone heads into the ring and Hardaway cuts him off. The two brawl and Stone dumps K-Hard over the top rope. He follows him out and they continue to fight on the arena floor. Inside the ring Baine has Talbot in a side headlock. Talbot pushes him off. LAST CALL!! HYPNOTWIRL!! Cover… 1…2… NO!
Dave White:“A great superkick from nowhere!”
Tony D:“But Stone noticed and dragged Talbot off his partner from ringside!”
Hardaway grabs Stone again on the outside while Talbot drags Baine to his feet. He whips him into the ropes again. DOUBLE CROSS-BODY! They collide in mid air! Suddenly Hardaway and Stone realise what’s going on and both rush back to their respective corners, cheering their partners on and itching to be tagged in. Baine is moving slowly, Talbot slower. Baine leaps… and makes the tag! Talbot… also manages to tag in his partner as he rolls to the corner! Stone and Hardaway leap in and rush straight for one another. They collide, trading massive blows one after the other. European uppercut from Stone, kick to the sternum from Hardaway. Dropkick from Stone. Roundhouse from Hardaway. Whip to the ropes from Stone, looks for a back body drop, but as he lifts Hardaway up, K-Hard grabs the arms of Leon Stone and hand closes his legs tightly around his head! He knees Stone in the face, who leans forwards, allowing Hardaway to get his feet back on the mat… in a double under-hook position!! WILLIAMS DRIVER!!!! Cover… 1… 2… Baine tries to get in to break it up… LAST CALL FROM TALBOT!! 3!!
Kris Red:“Holy cow, what a move!”
Dave White:“I have literally never seen anything like it!”
Tony D:“A. Ma. Zing.”
Jenni Starr:“Your winners, from FRONTIER, JASON TALBOT and KEVIN HARDAWAY!!
Talbot gets to his feet and the referee raises his arm in victory. Hardaway joins him and the ref raises his arm in victory as well.
Tony D: “Impressive victory and a great tag team match. And that’s one win for FRONTIER and one for WARPED!”
Your winners, Hardaway & Talbot.
