[There was the nice strike of an electric B chord, followed by the kick of bass drums and Soul Creation by Cinder was let loose over the PA system. Snippits of Tommy Danger’s near 14 year career shows up on the giant screens.]
[HUGE POP!]
[Just then the crowd came to it’s feet as the mood of the song changed and the voice of Roger Young suddenly belted out the next line and Tommy Danger pushed his way through the MWA logo curtain.]
[HUGE FRICKIN POP!]
*You want it, you need it
You love it, you hate it
Soul Creation
*You see it, you feel it
You touch it, believe it *
[Tommy was wearing his white wrestling tights and matching boots with the black lettering on each side. One side had Armed on the outside of the boot, the other had Dangerous. Draping over his shoulders was a T-shirt, white, with blue lettering that read ‘Get An Image’ and on the back was “Danger” with the #00 underneath the name. Obvious by their reflection in the glaring lights, were the UKWA World and Tag-Team titles that rested on Tommy’s shoulders. Tommy thrust both hands up in the air, with the titles held tight, as the sea of humanity roared with excitement. His left cheek twitched and he sniffed back once as he made his way to the ring. Once there he stopped, looked out to the crowd he had finally returned to and set his arms out wide.]
[ROARRRRR!]
[Tommy hopped back down and cracked his neck, moving from toe to toe as he limbered up and shook out his arms. He then removed his shirt and tossed it out to the crowd.]
[BIG 18-38 FEMALE DEMOGRAPHIC POP!]
Dan- Here comes our champion, Mayo. He looks ready.
Jenny Starr- Ladies and gentlemen…. this next match is schedule for one fall and has no time limit!
[HUGE POP!]
Jenny Starr- It is also the Champion versus Champion match!
[MATCH POP!]
Jenny Starr- Introducing first… from the UKWA and hailing out of Blackwind Falls, Vermont… he is one half of the UKWA Tag Team Champions, and the current UKWA World Heavyweight Champion… TOMMYYYY DANGERRRR!
[HUGE POP!]
[Tommy raises his hand to the crowd, but his eyes stayed focused on the ramp, even as the referee went through his check of Tommy’s boots.]
“So Far Away” by Staind cranks through the speakers and the fans cheer in unison. Red and black pyrotechnic blasts shoot off, and Jack Griggs appears at the top of the ramp. He wears black pants with red trim, and a red MWA t-shirt. Jack’s long jet-black hair is hanging down onto his shoulders, and the MWA World Title belt is around his waist.
Jenny- And his opponent, from Virginia Beach, Virginia. He stands at 6’5″ tall and weighs in at 255lbs. He is the MWA World Heavyweight Champion… JACK GRIGGS!!!!
Jack paces to the ring, slapping a few of the fans’ hands as he makes his way down the ramp. Jack slides into the ring under the bottom rope, and climbs on to the turnbuckle nearest to him, raising his arms in the air. He hops down and removes the belt from his waist, handing it to the referee.
Dan- This is it, Mayo. The future of our own jobs could rest on this one match.
Mayo- Scores currently stand at 5-4 in the UKWA’s favour. A win for Tommy Danger, or even a no contest, would see the UKWA Victorious!
Dan- But what happens if Griggs wins? Were there any tie breaks in case of a draw?
Mayo- You know what? I have no idea?
DING DING DING
Referee Andrew Woodford starts the match off as Tommy Danger rushes in at Jack Griggs. He nails a clothesline and Griggs goes down. He pops right back up again, and Danger nails another clothesline. Then another. And another. Danger is pumped up and gets the fans going. Griggs gets back to his feet once more, and Tommy Danger whips him into the ropes. Danger nails a spinebuster, and then quickly locks in a figure four leglock!
Mayo- It’s Tommy Danger who gets into this match quickly, Dan.
Dan- Griggs taken aback by the burst of pace to start things off here.
Griggs stretches as far as he can, just about reaching the ropes and forcing the break. Danger instantly releases the hold, not even needing a word from the referee. Danger steps back, allowing Griggs to get back to his feet. The two men stare at each other, a look of respect and anticipation in both their eyes. Danger makes the next move, dodging a punch and grabbing Jack’s hand. Griggs’ arm gets twisted into a hammerlock from Tommy Danger, but Jack reverses it. Tommy reverses that, and whips Griggs into the ropes. He drops to the mat, and Griggs runs over him. Tommy leaps back to his feet, and leapfrogs Griggs as he comes back. As Griggs bounces back again, Tommy nails a punch to the gut, and takes the MWA man down with a swinging neckbreaker.
Mayo- Nice move there from Tommy Danger.
Dan- He goes for the pin, too, but just gets the one count…
Both men get back to their feet, and Tommy goes to whip Jack into the corner. Danger charges in, but Griggsy gets a boot up into the face of his UKWA counterpart. Danger stumbles back, and Griggs charges for him. Danger instinctively grabs his opponent and nails a sweet powerslam. A cover is made,

Mayo- No! A kickout from Jack Griggs after a great move out of nowhere from Tommy Danger.
Dan- Danger having most of the early advantage, but that boot to the face may have slowed him down a little.
Danger hits the mat hard after a big clothesline, then gets dragged back to his feet and taken down again with a suplex. Jack Griggs connects with a leg-drop. He goes for a cover, but Danger kicks out before Andrew Woodford even gets down to start counting. Griggs pulls Tommy back to his feet before tearing into Danger with knife edge chops as the crowd voices their pleasure with thunderous “Whooooo’s”. Griggs whips Danger to the turnbuckle and follows him in with a back elbow to the face. Danger’s body hits the canvas with a thud. Griggs bounces off the rope and executes a flying knee drop to the back of Danger’s head. He then pulls the UKWA man up and lays in a chop. Danger’s chest turns bright red from the blow. Griggs picks him up in a vertical suplex and brings Danger crashing to the canvass. Jack with the cover….
Mayo- One…
Two…
And Danger kicks out at two and a half.
Dan- This is dangerous for Tommy, Griggs is turning it on right now!
Danger is up again as he and Jack circle. Griggs gets into his battle pose. They lock up. Griggs ducks behind. Danger reverses it. Snap mare by Jack. Danger works his way to his feet, bends Griggs’s elbow back and reverses into a head lock. Griggs elbows his way out and sends Danger off the ropes. Shoulder block by Danger as he bounces back. Off the ropes Danger ducks a back elbow but gets shoulder blocked to the mat.
Mayo- Great to see these two go at it like this. The UKWA and MWA fans have wanted to see this for a long time!
Danger tries a hip toss but Griggs blocks and reverses. Dropkick by Griggs as Tommy is getting to his feet. Another attempted dropkick but this time Tommy sidesteps and Griggs crashes to the mat. Danger grabs the legs of Griggs and kicks him in the mid-section.
Mayo- Low blow from Danger?
Dan- No, no, that was mid-section… we all saw that!
Danger pulls the MWA Champion to his feet and pushes him into a corner before whipping him into the opposite corner. Danger charges in and connects with a clothesline, following up with a Bulldog. Danger grabs Jack’s legs and locks in the Boston Crab. Jack struggles for the ropes as the referee watches to see if he makes it. After a long struggle Griggs manages to grab the rope and uses them to drag himself up, powering out of the hold. He connects with an elbow to the head of Danger and hip-tosses him out of the ring!
Mayo- Woah! The UKWA Champion just got tossed out of the ring!
Dan- Jack Griggs has taken a few knocks in this match, but he’s showing that he can come back from them. This match could still go either way!
Tommy Danger rolls back into the ring, but is distracted by a fan at ringside. Jack rolls Danger up from behind…
One…
Two…
Reversal from Danger,
One…
Two…
Kick-out from Griggs.
Mayo- Near falls from both men!
Dan- Great stuff, Mayo!
Jack gets back to his feet and locks up with Danger. He spins round behind the UKWA man and looks for a back suplex, but Tommy struggles and Jack can’t get him up. Griggs sends a few forearms to the back of Tommy’s head, then tries it again. He takes Danger down, and smiles as he makes a cover on the fallen Danger.
One…
Two…
NO! Danger has a leg on the ropes, and Andrew Woodford stops the count. Jack pulls Danger to his feet, and looks for a suplex. Danger blocks it and hoists Griggs into the air instead. He twists him round onto his shoulder and nails a big slam. He pulls Jack back up again, getting set for a suplex, hooking the leg…. Fisherman Suplex!
One…
Two…
Kick-out from the MWA Champ!
Mayo- That was a close one, Dan. Almost a victory for Danger and the UKWA!
Danger whips Griggs off the ropes and pulls off a drop toe hold. Griggs’s face hits hard on the mat.
Dan- Oooh! Damn, that’s gonna leave a mark!
Tommy Danger follows up with another Figure Four, and this time Jack Griggs doesn’t look like he could reach the ropes. Griggs is struggling with the pain, and trying in vain to reach the ropes to force the break. Tommy asks Andrew Woodford to ask Griggs if he wants to submit, but the MWA Champion is having none of it. The UKWA Champion refuses to give up on the move, however, and keeps it locked in. Eventually, after quite some time, Jack Griggs manages to roll over and reverse the effects of the hold. Tommy Danger soon scrambles away from his opponent.
Dan- Griggs has to be hurting after that one, Mayo.
Mayo- He was in that hold for a long time, his leg’s took a lot of damage there.
Danger hangs back, allowing Jack Griggs to waste his own energy in struggling back to his feet. Then Tommy heads back over to his opponent, sending in some big chops to the chest of Jack. He then pulls off a shin breaker, doing more damage to the legs of Griggs. He again backs off, as Jack hobbles back to his feet, using the turnbuckle as leverage. Danger again moves in, and whips Griggs across the ring. He goes for a flying back elbow, but Jack does brilliantly to catch his opponent in mid-air! He spins Tommy around and slams him to the mat!
Dan- Griggs Bomb! That was the Griggs Bomb!
Mayo- But can the MWA World Champion capitalise? That took a lot out of both men, and they’re both down!
The referee starts the mandatory ten count…

9… Jack gets up, and stumbles over to Tommy, dropping down onto him and making a cover,
1…
2…
Mayo- NO! Kickout from Tommy Danger!
Dan- The Griggs bomb would usually have ended the match, but with Jack being so worn down, he didn’t get the pin in time. The UKWA lives to fight another day!
Griggs looks shocked, and Tommy relieved. The two men slowly, oh so slowly, make it back to their feet. Griggs whips Tommy across the ring, and looks for a superkick as he comes back. But Tommy ducks under the boot of Griggs, and clips his standing leg. Griggs crumples to the mat, the already injured leg no seriously in pain. Tommy spots this as an opportune moment to try for the Inverted Indian Deathlock Bridging Chinlock! With Jack face down on the mat, Tommy crosses one of Griggs’ ankles into the crook of his other knee. Tommy uses the back of his leg to apply pressure to Jack’s leg that is up and puts his leg in between the MWA Champions now entangled legs. Tommy stands up and bridges backwards and applies a chin lock on Jack, completing the hold.
Mayo- Great submission hold from Tommy Danger, working over the injured legs of Griggs, and that chinlock for good measure.
Griggs is yelling out in pain, and his hand is in the air… he looks like he’s about to tap out. Tommy is so worn down that he cannot keep the bridge and chin lock in properly, and his shoulders drop down onto the mat. Andrew Woodford spots the shoulders are down, and begins to count!
One….
Two….
Mayo- Griggs is tapping!
THREE!!!
Dan- But Woodford didn’t see it, he was counting Tommy’s shoulders down!
DING DING DING
Mayo- I don’t think that Tommy Danger realises that he’s lost the match… I think that he think’s he’s won it!
Jenny Starr- Your winner…. by pinfall… the MWA World Champion… JACK GRIGGS!!!!!
Mayo- And Tommy Danger is not happy about that one at all!
Dan- And I can’t say that I blame him! That call makes things 5-5!! It’s all square after eleven matches! What the hell happens now?
Mayo- No idea, Dan, no idea!
