UBL Open show - May 2008.
*The Battle Chamber section of the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena comes alive as the cameras come on and we're greeted on the entrance ramp by UBL Hostess, "Mean" Jean Carter.*
[MJC:] "Hi!! And UBL is BACK with our May Open show! And wazoo, do we ever have a HUGE main event for you and an even bigger show! As tonight we start off the long-awaited UBL Nexus Championship Tournament!! For more details on the full bracket, check the UBL website!. We will have four first round matches occuring on this show. And so as not to waste any precious time...*MJC puts on a serious, reflective face* time IS precious you know....we are going to get to the first match...NOW!"
*MJC begins to leave but then turns back around with a mischievous smile*
[MJC:] "Psst...everyone compliment Sgt. Yoshida on his new sweater-vest!"
*MJC is tapped on the shoulder by an embarrassed Drake Yoshida who tells her to go backstage. MJC blushes a bit and as if she was in a cartoon, jumps a bit before running backstage. Drake rolls his eyes...which will surprisingly NOT be the last time in the course of 60 seconds that he does so. As the first man out for this contest is...Jakob Furis. And he's got a live mic! Alert the FCC...or the Belmonts!*
[Furis] "YES! It is I, the next Nexus...*Furis stumbles on the words a bit* nextus..next...necks....your next Open Show Champion!! Tonight vill be a historic night as you vill all vitness my rise to the title!"
*Drake is busy gesturing Furis into the ring and trying to get him to stop TALKING FOR THE LOVE OF.... but Furis von...won't relent. Finally, Drake's opponent for the night, Karl Wunderlin, comes out from the apron shaking his head in disgust and drags Furis by the tights and hair into the ring. This garners a HUGE fan pop for Karl who is just ready to wrestle. Let's oblige the man who just saved our sanity from Furis' promo!!*

(I gotta break character here cause any Furis match that ends at 13:37 is just WAY too hilarious ;D )
You gotta hand it to Furis here for being *somewhat* competitive but Karl Wunderlin made a great comeback and dominated Furis at the end with his array of suplexes and elbows. After getting a victory stolen from him at the previous Open show, Karl bounced back strongly and seemed to have earned himself a fan following from his efforts and abilities. He also just earned himself a spot in the next round of Nexus Title Tournament competition! Furis...well, he earned himself slightly less mockery...and a powdered donut.
Karl Wunderlin (O) [Tiger Suplex - 13:37] (X) Jakob Furis
*The ring introductions for the next match begins. Mr. Pants comes out first and immediately begins chatting with the ref, Coach McGuirk. After Juan Leche comes out to a loud ovation, he starts looking uneasily at the two men in the ring. When they see Leche's reaction, they quickly stop talking and act as if they don't know each other. This fools no one. But not one for complaining, Juan Leche is ready to start this match and attempt to advance to the next round of the Nexus Tournament.*
(And if Juan knows what's good for him, he'll start by complimenting Mr. Pants... ;D )

Juan Leche (O) [Knee Drop - 15:05] (X) Mr. Pants
*And Drake Yoshida comes back to the ring with a microphone and a smirk.*
[Drake:] "This is the next match in the Hank Panky Trial Series as well as the debut for Hiro Hirada. I am already familiar with Mr. Hirada's work since he was shown in the same footage of the BATT promotion that I saw earlier this year that led me to accept their Battalion team. So I am very confident that he will fit extremely well into the UBL. As for Hank, I am hoping that he comes to his senses and gives up on his futile pursuit to be a UBL wrestler after he not only loses in this match, but gets destroyed."
*Drake's smirk widens as Hiro Hirada comes down to the ring. The audience immediately realizes this man MEANS business and they look impressed with, if not downright scared of, him. But even after Drake's words and Hiro's entrance, Hank Panky comes down to the ring, with a Caribbean-style party theme, looking completely relaxed, if not slightly inebriated. He's wearing his customary lampshade on his head and is holding a tray full of brightly-colored tropical drinks which he is handing out to the audience!! The fans certainly appreciate this as much as Drake is infuriated by it! But as Drake turns red from anger, Hank goes and hands HIM a drink as well, and makes sure to point out that he made it especially for him since its a "virgin" pina colada. Talk about not starting off on the right foot with the ref, even Juan Leche was in better shape then Hank is right now!! Can Hank repeat Juan's success against a hostile ref? Or is the REAL issue the behemoth standing across the ring known as Hiro Hirada!? Let's find out!*

Well, you know what they say. One good TURN(ing chokeslam) deserves another!! And Hiro Hirada has just laid waste to an already wasted Hank Panky in 10 minutes!!! Drake was more then happy to count the pinfall, after being slightly miffed that Hank kicked out of the first chokeslam. But Hiro had the match under control and certainly made a strong impression on the audience. Meanwhile, Hank's back made a strong impression, or dent, on the mat. Drake is shouting to him not to come back and that he has no chance of making it in the UBL. Will Hank listen and run back to party land? Or have we just seen the start of "Party Time" Hank Panky's fun in the UBL? Ok, by "fun" i mean everything BEFORE the beating.
Hank Panky (X) [Corner Nodowa Odoshi - 10:00] (O) Hiro Hirada
*Intermission now is upon us!! Let's head over to the merchandise table where we see a bunch of new items. A "Nexus Championship" shirt is the best selling item tonight and is followed by a "Karl Wunderlin" beard accessory for those teens that can't quite get that facial hair going themselves!! We also see numerous copies of both LAWLiday 2007 and EFW Gang Wars DVD's being sold, apparently the latter were even signed by OrochiGeese and are going for QUITE a pretty penny. And buried below all everything is a shirt that says "Furis Vorld Domination Tour - 2008" and "First stop: ZIP JAPAN" but that is quickly removed by UBL security. Also, various ticket package deals for Orochi-O's Land are being hocked as well: somewhat unnecessary considering that the amusement park is pretty much right next to the arena!*
*We go backstage once more to find OrochiGeese off in the corner of the locker room speaking with a man in a suit and an earpiece. Holly and Kyle are in another part of the locker room talking.*
[Geese:] "You have been surveying the action tonight, I trust?"
[Man] "Yes sir, it is as you said."
[Geese:] "And you still believe that you are cut out for this role?"
[Man] "I have been trained extensively to handle situations such as this."
[Geese:] "You realize this is a full time position. Not just for the shows, but constant vigilance."
[Man] "My techniques are battle tested and proven."
[Geese:] "Yes, but do realize that I have MUCH higher standards then our government does."
[Man] "I never said I worked for them sir."
*Uneasy silence is broken up by a small outburst of laughter by Geese*
[Geese:] "No, of course you didn't. They don't know you exist, after all."
*Geese smirks, the man registers no reaction*
[Geese:] "Tonight will be your first test. Let us see how you perform."
[Man] "Your goals will be met, sir."
[Geese:] "Good, see to that. Now, you are dismissed."
*The man leaves the room as Holly gives Geese an uneasy look.*
[Geese:] "Relax, just business."
[Holly:] "That guy's weird Geese, its like he's a ghost or something."
*Geese smirks again and goes back to training with Kyle. We go back to the ring side area where we see Johnny Brooke wearing a "Brooke Broke a Starr" shirt and looking generally confident. Joe Sweeney comes down to the ring next to a chorus of boos and allegations that he stole a victory at the previous Open show. For his part, Joe just responds as if the crowd was praising them and he blows kisses to them all. This irritates them more but it seems that Joe really can't register that the fans are angry at him. Johnny Brooke ignores this little interplay, rips his shirt off, and gets into ready position. Let's match now!*

Joe certainly put up a good fight against Johnny but that same killer instinct that Johnny showed against Gene was exhibited once again tonight: as well as the same target area! Johnny worked on Joe's legs until Joe could no longer stand the pain and wisely tapped out before any real damage was done. Perhaps after seeing how Johnny broke Gene's leg, Joe preferred to fight another day.
Johnny Brooke (O) [Ankle Lock - 19:34] (X) Joe Sweeney
*However, the fans continue to chide Joe after the match. And that's not all, as Karl Wunderlin also comes out and begins mocking Joe for losing tonight. Karl points out how he was able to win HIS match tonight, but Joe wasn't able to do the same. And that proves again how Karl was the true winner of the "Trial by Fire" match at the previous Open. Joe just turns his nose up at Karl and walks away, refusing to even answer him, an action that gets Karl fired up. But security gets in between them to break them up. We cut backstage to a locker room marked "J.U.S.T.I.C.E." where Thunder Strike, Jang Bae, and Jason Hyde are sitting. Thunder Strike is doing military style push-ups but then gets up and begins speaking to Jang*
[Jang:] "I have a weird feeling about tonight."
[TS:] "How so?"
[Jang:] "Almost like, things aren't gonna go as we planned."
[TS:] "That depends which "we" you're talking about."
*Jang smiles*
[TS:] "I don't trust them either, Jang. That's why you and Jason are here. And thanks again to you both for having my back tonight. This has taken longer then I wanted and I realize you two are hopeful to start dedicating all our time to the Battalion and not being distracted by my issues with Geese-"
[Jang:] "Please, we know your aims here and agree with them."
[TS:] "But yes, Jang, I feel it too. There's a chill in the air: One I've felt before during war."
[Jang:] "No one knows more then I do how much you want to accomplish your mission here in the UBL. But, as you said, this has taken a while. And no one knows more then YOU that combat isn't static. The warrior that flows with the forces, and not against them, has the best chance of accomplishing his goals."
[TS:] "I know that, and if I have to make alter course slightly, I will. But we're not at that point yet."
[Jang:] "The very fact that tonight's plan is what it is says that we're getting close."
*TS nods to Jang and we go back to the ring. DF Allen is already in the ring stretching using the ropes. Marquis begins his...mysterious entrance but DF is unimpressed and is even shouting out insults to him. And when Marquis attempts to "mime" a box once he enters the ring, DF has had enough and punches Marquis right in the face!! Marquis didn't "mime" a no-sell, so let's get to the ring and see if he can rebound!

DF's no-nonsense approach allowed him to power right through Marquis' attempted deceptions and arsenal of complicated kicks. The power of satanic mime had no effect on the non-believer Allen, and he showed that he had one thing on his mind: Advancing to the next round of the tournament, which he did!! One has to feel for the Marquis who underestimated DF Allen's abilities and serious nature, and paid dearly for it.
D.F. Allen (O) [Jumping Knee - 12:46] (X) Marquis Du Douleur
And we're ready for the main event!! This tag team match is a direct result of what occurred at the previous Open show. But this is also spans from the overall rivalries, feuds, and HATRED that spans back over a year amongst these four men!! (and a pretty good summary of it can be found at the above link!). Suffice to say, this is going to be an interesting match because teammates Thunder Strike and Tommy Fiero hate each other as much as opponents Thunder Strike and OrochiGeese does! Meanwhile, Kyle Walker hates Tommy Fiero for almost drugging him and also hates Thunder Strike for egging on Alicia Gordon in attempting to hurt Kyle's sister Holly in OG-Joshi! The only two allies in this match are OG and Kyle and they have a huge advantage in taking on this unstable and tenuous team of Thunder Strike and Tommy Fiero.
*And this dynamic shows by the ring entrances. Tommy Fiero and Thunder Strike come out separately, to their own introductions. Thunder Strike gets a modicum of applause but doesn't seem to care about the audience's reaction. Tommy Fiero, on the other hand, is basking in the crowd's hatred and throwing feather boas into the arms of angry male fans and eager (perhaps too eager if Tommy wants to stay out of trouble) female fans. Thunder just GLARES at this display. Next, Kyle and OrochiGeese come out together to the "Orochi Army" group song: "Crimson over Imperial Skies". Tommy mocks the stoic look on their faces and serious nature of the song by faux marching in place to the rhythm. The two sides get into the ring and OrochiGeese and Thunder Strike enter into a very uneasy staredown. Anji Yukyuzan ("The Bright King") is our ref for this match and he is ready to officiate war. So let's get to it as emotions are running high!*
Match #6 - Kyle Walker/OrochiGeese vs. Thunder Strike/Tommy Fiero
It appears that OrochiGeese will be starting for the Orochi Army team but Tommy and Thunder are arguing over who will start for their team. Tommy is chiding Thunder that HE should start since he wants to eliminate Geese so much. Thunder wants Fiero to start but Fiero is NOT having any of that and pushes Thunder. Geese is smirking this whole time and even audibly asks Thunder, "You gonna take that, soldier?" Fiero laughs at this, prompting more taunting from Geese. Thunder pushes Fiero in retaliation and we're already having some major communication problems. (well, they HEAR each other just fine, but you know!). Fiero then attempts to make peace and agrees to start off first, but Thunder is still angry. He pushes Fiero again...into a uraken by Geese! After the uraken bounces Fiero against the ropes, Geese grabs him from behind. Thunder Strike is now gearing up...he launches right into the...CACOPHO-KNEE!!!
Thunder Strike just rocked an unsuspecting Fiero with one of his special moves while Geese held Fiero in place the whole time! Just what in the hell is going on here!? As this was going on, no one saw Kyle go to the top rope! Right after Fiero got knocked back and fell from the CACOPHO-KNEE, Kyle immediately jumped off the top rope and hit his Sky-Walker onto the momentarily prone Fiero!! Geese is now laughing as Thunder Strike mounts a stunned Fiero and begins delivering furious elbows! Why are these two sides working together!? The ref calls for the bell to ring, ending this match. Geese calls for a microphone.
Kyle Walker/OrochiGeese (-) [No Contest] (-) Thunder Strike/Tommy Fiero
[Geese:] "Oh Tommy, it has finally come crashing down. I feel for you, really I do, all you wanted was more attention, another place to act out and get rewarded for it. Your mistake was attempting to extend your presence beyond your sphere of influence. This is MY territory, Fiero, and you are unfit to survive in an environment of chaos that brings even HATED enemies together for a cause. And that cause is simple. You dared to stick your nose in my business at the 4 Year Anniversary PPV. It was to be the night I finished the very man who is breaking your nose with elbow smashes right now. Sloppy ones, but ones just the same."
*Thunder Strike looks up and sneers at Geese*
[Geese:] "But, it was also to be the night where that man attempted to finish ME off. You see Fiero, you angered BOTH of us by getting in the way of our plans. And as much as we both wanted to send each other to hell, we wanted YOU to get a taste of it tonight for being an obstacle to our attempts at the PPV."
*Thunder looks up at Geese again with an angry expression*
[Geese:] "Yes, yes, I think soldier boy also wants revenge for you poisoning him too. And-"
*Kyle grabs the microphone*
[Kyle:] "And for almost poisoning me!"
*Kyle kicks Fiero in the ribs very viciously, even OG winces a bit at the audible smash.*
[Geese:] "But Fiero, now you see what happens to people that cross me. People that stand in the way of my goals. For I can recruit even my greatest enemies to do my bidding and handle my revenge."
*Thunder jumps off Fiero and gets in Geese's face*
[Geese:] "There will be time for our next battle in a few minutes. But now, finish your job."
[Thunder:] "You don't tell me what to do, scum. This isn't YOUR bidding, WE had an agreement."
[Geese:] "Which you are now BREAKING by not living up to its terms. You really can't do ANYTHING right, can you? Are you going to finish Fiero or not? There will be time for us to settle OUR business soon."
*During this distraction, Fiero managed to roll out of the ring. He quickly grabs a nearby chair and goes to get back into the ring when we see a man in a suit and an ear piece running down the ramp. He keeps running and SLAMS into Fiero with what looks to be a spear!! Fiero drops the chair and looks confused as hell as to what is going on. The man then grabs Fiero in some kind of choke hold (Buffalo Sleeper) and begins dragging him out of the arena while in the hold! Fiero is kicking and screaming but can't seem to break the hold of this emotionless man. Geese smiles and gestures towards the man.*
[Geese:] "I'd like everyone to meet the new head of UBL Security, Agent 0."
*The man nods and continues dragging Fiero out of the arena. Thunder Strike shoots Fiero a final dirty look, then his gaze lingers for a second at Agent 0, prompting a strange expression of confused recognition on Thunder's face. Finally, he returns his stare back to Orochi Geese*
[Geese:] "Now, for the second part of tonight's festivities. With Fiero taken care of, that leaves just you and me. We finish what we started at the PPV.... no interruptions. Kyle, will you please go to the back?"
[Kyle:] "Yeah, I know. Take him out, Geese!"
[Geese:] "To the fans, no, you will no longer be getting your tag team match. Instead, I present to you the third and final match between Thunder Strike and I. It ends now, so take your final respectful looks at him, you'll no longer be seeing him again, STANDING on his own power, after tonight."
*OrochiGeese and Thunder Strike go into their own respective corners. Anji checks them both for weapons and then the REAL main event for tonight begins!! Geese vs. Thunder 3!!*

And Thunder Strike comes up victorious for the second time in a row against Geese!! This time, Geese was able to miraculously kick out of the Thunder Clap but that wasn't enough! As Thunder Strike dug into his old bag of military tricks and forced Geese to tap out to a rear naked choke, a move that Geese had not expected at all, given his wild, flailing reaction! Thunder Strike got Geese to tap out right in the middle of the ring and the crowd is actually heavily cheering Thunder Strike's efforts!!
OrochiGeese (X) ["Thunder Clutch" - 19:46] (O) Thunder Strike
But everyone realizes that this isn't over by a long shot. Geese is down on the mat trying to regain his ability to breathe after that tightly applied rear naked choke, and Thunder Strike is taking a moment to regather his energy and breath as well. But these two swore to "end each other" tonight and with Fiero out of the way, one of these two (if not both) should be able to do it.
Thunder holds Geese up and immediately hits another CACOPHO-KNEE right to the side of the head. Geese crumbles down to the mat. Thunder goes to the top rope and delivers a high speed moonsault to Geese's back. Thunder appears to be figuring out what to do here as some of the fans shout "Finish him" and the other fans chant "Give peace a chance". But Thunder appears to be deep in thought here, perhaps even remembering their past. His briefly frowns, but then his expression hardens and he delivers a Thunder Clap to Geese, knocking him out. Then Thunder goes outside of the ring to get a chair. He brings it into the ring and throws it down on the ground near Geese. Thunder becomes distracted again but is able to steel his thoughts. Then he picks Geese up and gets him in position for the Thunder Clap! Is he going to do it on the chair!? Thunder Strike vowed to end Geese's career and this could very well do it!!
Wait, it's Snake Mountain!! Naja Mask, Marauder, and Nightmare run down to the ring and push Thunder off of Geese!! They begin pummeling a protesting and cursing Thunder Strike as Geese lays unconscious. What's this!? Now the DOD SQUAD is running down to the ring as well! A laughing Jack Dod leads Caleb and Ronnie to begin attacking the downed Geese!! And here comes the Mad Gear Gang, SNUH, the LLAMAS Brothers, and the LBC!! They are all in the ring attacking the downed Geese and the exhausted Thunder Strike! It's no coincidence that these Battalions are in the same blocks as Geese's and Thunder Strike's!
Finally help comes in the form of Jang Bae, Jason Hyde, Kyle Walker, Mr. Clyde, and Mr. Figaro, but they are still severely out-manned. They are doing their best they can to fight off these opportunistic Battalion opponents while defending Thunder Strike and especially Geese. But it's just not enough...not until Agent 0 comes out with 4 other similar looking men in black suits. They are able to deftly get into the action and begin TAZING half the men in the ring, sending them fleeing out of self-preservation. Jack Dod and Naja Mask still continue to target Geese and Thunder Strike but Kyle Walker and Jason Hyde chase them off.
Agent 0 has now surrounded the ring with the other suited men with tazers and is talking into his ear piece for more security while Orochi Army and JUSTICE attend to Orochi Geese and Thunder Strike. The two sides look across the ring at each other, shocked at what has transpired tonight. But then each side looks at the throng of Battalion wrestlers mocking them from the stage area before more security comes to remove them. Thunder Strike looks at Jang Bae who nods back at him. We then see Holly running through the audience, jumping the rail, and getting into the ring to check on Geese. She looks really concerned and has his head in her lap. She's trying to wake him up. Thunder Strike looks at her and is about to advance but Jang shakes his head no saying "it's time to move on" as he looks back at the other Battalions. J.U.S.T.I.C.E leaves the ring as the medical team comes down to check on Geese. But he refuses their help and is able to stand with Holly's help. The final shot of the night is of Geese being helped to the back by Holly as he stares at Thunder Strike who is on the stage area. The two share an uneasy glance and the show ends.
*Fin*
*The Battle Chamber section of the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena comes alive as the cameras come on and we're greeted on the entrance ramp by UBL Hostess, "Mean" Jean Carter.*

*And Drake Yoshida comes back to the ring with a microphone and a smirk.*
[Drake:] "This is the next match in the Hank Panky Trial Series as well as the debut for Hiro Hirada. I am already familiar with Mr. Hirada's work since he was shown in the same footage of the BATT promotion that I saw earlier this year that led me to accept their Battalion team. So I am very confident that he will fit extremely well into the UBL. As for Hank, I am hoping that he comes to his senses and gives up on his futile pursuit to be a UBL wrestler after he not only loses in this match, but gets destroyed."
*Drake's smirk widens as Hiro Hirada comes down to the ring. The audience immediately realizes this man MEANS business and they look impressed with, if not downright scared of, him. But even after Drake's words and Hiro's entrance, Hank Panky comes down to the ring, with a Caribbean-style party theme, looking completely relaxed, if not slightly inebriated. He's wearing his customary lampshade on his head and is holding a tray full of brightly-colored tropical drinks which he is handing out to the audience!! The fans certainly appreciate this as much as Drake is infuriated by it! But as Drake turns red from anger, Hank goes and hands HIM a drink as well, and makes sure to point out that he made it especially for him since its a "virgin" pina colada. Talk about not starting off on the right foot with the ref, even Juan Leche was in better shape then Hank is right now!! Can Hank repeat Juan's success against a hostile ref? Or is the REAL issue the behemoth standing across the ring known as Hiro Hirada!? Let's find out!*

Well, you know what they say. One good TURN(ing chokeslam) deserves another!! And Hiro Hirada has just laid waste to an already wasted Hank Panky in 10 minutes!!! Drake was more then happy to count the pinfall, after being slightly miffed that Hank kicked out of the first chokeslam. But Hiro had the match under control and certainly made a strong impression on the audience. Meanwhile, Hank's back made a strong impression, or dent, on the mat. Drake is shouting to him not to come back and that he has no chance of making it in the UBL. Will Hank listen and run back to party land? Or have we just seen the start of "Party Time" Hank Panky's fun in the UBL? Ok, by "fun" i mean everything BEFORE the beating.
Hank Panky (X) [Corner Nodowa Odoshi - 10:00] (O) Hiro Hirada
*Intermission now is upon us!! Let's head over to the merchandise table where we see a bunch of new items. A "Nexus Championship" shirt is the best selling item tonight and is followed by a "Karl Wunderlin" beard accessory for those teens that can't quite get that facial hair going themselves!! We also see numerous copies of both LAWLiday 2007 and EFW Gang Wars DVD's being sold, apparently the latter were even signed by OrochiGeese and are going for QUITE a pretty penny. And buried below all everything is a shirt that says "Furis Vorld Domination Tour - 2008" and "First stop: ZIP JAPAN" but that is quickly removed by UBL security. Also, various ticket package deals for Orochi-O's Land are being hocked as well: somewhat unnecessary considering that the amusement park is pretty much right next to the arena!*
*We go backstage once more to find OrochiGeese off in the corner of the locker room speaking with a man in a suit and an earpiece. Holly and Kyle are in another part of the locker room talking.*
[Geese:] "You have been surveying the action tonight, I trust?"
[Man] "Yes sir, it is as you said."
[Geese:] "And you still believe that you are cut out for this role?"
[Man] "I have been trained extensively to handle situations such as this."
[Geese:] "You realize this is a full time position. Not just for the shows, but constant vigilance."
[Man] "My techniques are battle tested and proven."
[Geese:] "Yes, but do realize that I have MUCH higher standards then our government does."
[Man] "I never said I worked for them sir."
*Uneasy silence is broken up by a small outburst of laughter by Geese*
[Geese:] "No, of course you didn't. They don't know you exist, after all."
*Geese smirks, the man registers no reaction*
[Geese:] "Tonight will be your first test. Let us see how you perform."
[Man] "Your goals will be met, sir."
[Geese:] "Good, see to that. Now, you are dismissed."
*The man leaves the room as Holly gives Geese an uneasy look.*
[Geese:] "Relax, just business."
[Holly:] "That guy's weird Geese, its like he's a ghost or something."
*Geese smirks again and goes back to training with Kyle. We go back to the ring side area where we see Johnny Brooke wearing a "Brooke Broke a Starr" shirt and looking generally confident. Joe Sweeney comes down to the ring next to a chorus of boos and allegations that he stole a victory at the previous Open show. For his part, Joe just responds as if the crowd was praising them and he blows kisses to them all. This irritates them more but it seems that Joe really can't register that the fans are angry at him. Johnny Brooke ignores this little interplay, rips his shirt off, and gets into ready position. Let's match now!*

Joe certainly put up a good fight against Johnny but that same killer instinct that Johnny showed against Gene was exhibited once again tonight: as well as the same target area! Johnny worked on Joe's legs until Joe could no longer stand the pain and wisely tapped out before any real damage was done. Perhaps after seeing how Johnny broke Gene's leg, Joe preferred to fight another day.
Johnny Brooke (O) [Ankle Lock - 19:34] (X) Joe Sweeney
*However, the fans continue to chide Joe after the match. And that's not all, as Karl Wunderlin also comes out and begins mocking Joe for losing tonight. Karl points out how he was able to win HIS match tonight, but Joe wasn't able to do the same. And that proves again how Karl was the true winner of the "Trial by Fire" match at the previous Open. Joe just turns his nose up at Karl and walks away, refusing to even answer him, an action that gets Karl fired up. But security gets in between them to break them up. We cut backstage to a locker room marked "J.U.S.T.I.C.E." where Thunder Strike, Jang Bae, and Jason Hyde are sitting. Thunder Strike is doing military style push-ups but then gets up and begins speaking to Jang*
[Jang:] "I have a weird feeling about tonight."
[TS:] "How so?"
[Jang:] "Almost like, things aren't gonna go as we planned."
[TS:] "That depends which "we" you're talking about."
*Jang smiles*
[TS:] "I don't trust them either, Jang. That's why you and Jason are here. And thanks again to you both for having my back tonight. This has taken longer then I wanted and I realize you two are hopeful to start dedicating all our time to the Battalion and not being distracted by my issues with Geese-"
[Jang:] "Please, we know your aims here and agree with them."
[TS:] "But yes, Jang, I feel it too. There's a chill in the air: One I've felt before during war."
[Jang:] "No one knows more then I do how much you want to accomplish your mission here in the UBL. But, as you said, this has taken a while. And no one knows more then YOU that combat isn't static. The warrior that flows with the forces, and not against them, has the best chance of accomplishing his goals."
[TS:] "I know that, and if I have to make alter course slightly, I will. But we're not at that point yet."
[Jang:] "The very fact that tonight's plan is what it is says that we're getting close."
*TS nods to Jang and we go back to the ring. DF Allen is already in the ring stretching using the ropes. Marquis begins his...mysterious entrance but DF is unimpressed and is even shouting out insults to him. And when Marquis attempts to "mime" a box once he enters the ring, DF has had enough and punches Marquis right in the face!! Marquis didn't "mime" a no-sell, so let's get to the ring and see if he can rebound!

DF's no-nonsense approach allowed him to power right through Marquis' attempted deceptions and arsenal of complicated kicks. The power of satanic mime had no effect on the non-believer Allen, and he showed that he had one thing on his mind: Advancing to the next round of the tournament, which he did!! One has to feel for the Marquis who underestimated DF Allen's abilities and serious nature, and paid dearly for it.
D.F. Allen (O) [Jumping Knee - 12:46] (X) Marquis Du Douleur
And we're ready for the main event!! This tag team match is a direct result of what occurred at the previous Open show. But this is also spans from the overall rivalries, feuds, and HATRED that spans back over a year amongst these four men!! (and a pretty good summary of it can be found at the above link!). Suffice to say, this is going to be an interesting match because teammates Thunder Strike and Tommy Fiero hate each other as much as opponents Thunder Strike and OrochiGeese does! Meanwhile, Kyle Walker hates Tommy Fiero for almost drugging him and also hates Thunder Strike for egging on Alicia Gordon in attempting to hurt Kyle's sister Holly in OG-Joshi! The only two allies in this match are OG and Kyle and they have a huge advantage in taking on this unstable and tenuous team of Thunder Strike and Tommy Fiero.
*And this dynamic shows by the ring entrances. Tommy Fiero and Thunder Strike come out separately, to their own introductions. Thunder Strike gets a modicum of applause but doesn't seem to care about the audience's reaction. Tommy Fiero, on the other hand, is basking in the crowd's hatred and throwing feather boas into the arms of angry male fans and eager (perhaps too eager if Tommy wants to stay out of trouble) female fans. Thunder just GLARES at this display. Next, Kyle and OrochiGeese come out together to the "Orochi Army" group song: "Crimson over Imperial Skies". Tommy mocks the stoic look on their faces and serious nature of the song by faux marching in place to the rhythm. The two sides get into the ring and OrochiGeese and Thunder Strike enter into a very uneasy staredown. Anji Yukyuzan ("The Bright King") is our ref for this match and he is ready to officiate war. So let's get to it as emotions are running high!*
Match #6 - Kyle Walker/OrochiGeese vs. Thunder Strike/Tommy Fiero
It appears that OrochiGeese will be starting for the Orochi Army team but Tommy and Thunder are arguing over who will start for their team. Tommy is chiding Thunder that HE should start since he wants to eliminate Geese so much. Thunder wants Fiero to start but Fiero is NOT having any of that and pushes Thunder. Geese is smirking this whole time and even audibly asks Thunder, "You gonna take that, soldier?" Fiero laughs at this, prompting more taunting from Geese. Thunder pushes Fiero in retaliation and we're already having some major communication problems. (well, they HEAR each other just fine, but you know!). Fiero then attempts to make peace and agrees to start off first, but Thunder is still angry. He pushes Fiero again...into a uraken by Geese! After the uraken bounces Fiero against the ropes, Geese grabs him from behind. Thunder Strike is now gearing up...he launches right into the...CACOPHO-KNEE!!!
Thunder Strike just rocked an unsuspecting Fiero with one of his special moves while Geese held Fiero in place the whole time! Just what in the hell is going on here!? As this was going on, no one saw Kyle go to the top rope! Right after Fiero got knocked back and fell from the CACOPHO-KNEE, Kyle immediately jumped off the top rope and hit his Sky-Walker onto the momentarily prone Fiero!! Geese is now laughing as Thunder Strike mounts a stunned Fiero and begins delivering furious elbows! Why are these two sides working together!? The ref calls for the bell to ring, ending this match. Geese calls for a microphone.
Kyle Walker/OrochiGeese (-) [No Contest] (-) Thunder Strike/Tommy Fiero
[Geese:] "Oh Tommy, it has finally come crashing down. I feel for you, really I do, all you wanted was more attention, another place to act out and get rewarded for it. Your mistake was attempting to extend your presence beyond your sphere of influence. This is MY territory, Fiero, and you are unfit to survive in an environment of chaos that brings even HATED enemies together for a cause. And that cause is simple. You dared to stick your nose in my business at the 4 Year Anniversary PPV. It was to be the night I finished the very man who is breaking your nose with elbow smashes right now. Sloppy ones, but ones just the same."
*Thunder Strike looks up and sneers at Geese*
[Geese:] "But, it was also to be the night where that man attempted to finish ME off. You see Fiero, you angered BOTH of us by getting in the way of our plans. And as much as we both wanted to send each other to hell, we wanted YOU to get a taste of it tonight for being an obstacle to our attempts at the PPV."
*Thunder looks up at Geese again with an angry expression*
[Geese:] "Yes, yes, I think soldier boy also wants revenge for you poisoning him too. And-"
*Kyle grabs the microphone*
[Kyle:] "And for almost poisoning me!"
*Kyle kicks Fiero in the ribs very viciously, even OG winces a bit at the audible smash.*
[Geese:] "But Fiero, now you see what happens to people that cross me. People that stand in the way of my goals. For I can recruit even my greatest enemies to do my bidding and handle my revenge."
*Thunder jumps off Fiero and gets in Geese's face*
[Geese:] "There will be time for our next battle in a few minutes. But now, finish your job."
[Thunder:] "You don't tell me what to do, scum. This isn't YOUR bidding, WE had an agreement."
[Geese:] "Which you are now BREAKING by not living up to its terms. You really can't do ANYTHING right, can you? Are you going to finish Fiero or not? There will be time for us to settle OUR business soon."
*During this distraction, Fiero managed to roll out of the ring. He quickly grabs a nearby chair and goes to get back into the ring when we see a man in a suit and an ear piece running down the ramp. He keeps running and SLAMS into Fiero with what looks to be a spear!! Fiero drops the chair and looks confused as hell as to what is going on. The man then grabs Fiero in some kind of choke hold (Buffalo Sleeper) and begins dragging him out of the arena while in the hold! Fiero is kicking and screaming but can't seem to break the hold of this emotionless man. Geese smiles and gestures towards the man.*
[Geese:] "I'd like everyone to meet the new head of UBL Security, Agent 0."
*The man nods and continues dragging Fiero out of the arena. Thunder Strike shoots Fiero a final dirty look, then his gaze lingers for a second at Agent 0, prompting a strange expression of confused recognition on Thunder's face. Finally, he returns his stare back to Orochi Geese*
[Geese:] "Now, for the second part of tonight's festivities. With Fiero taken care of, that leaves just you and me. We finish what we started at the PPV.... no interruptions. Kyle, will you please go to the back?"
[Kyle:] "Yeah, I know. Take him out, Geese!"
[Geese:] "To the fans, no, you will no longer be getting your tag team match. Instead, I present to you the third and final match between Thunder Strike and I. It ends now, so take your final respectful looks at him, you'll no longer be seeing him again, STANDING on his own power, after tonight."
*OrochiGeese and Thunder Strike go into their own respective corners. Anji checks them both for weapons and then the REAL main event for tonight begins!! Geese vs. Thunder 3!!*

And Thunder Strike comes up victorious for the second time in a row against Geese!! This time, Geese was able to miraculously kick out of the Thunder Clap but that wasn't enough! As Thunder Strike dug into his old bag of military tricks and forced Geese to tap out to a rear naked choke, a move that Geese had not expected at all, given his wild, flailing reaction! Thunder Strike got Geese to tap out right in the middle of the ring and the crowd is actually heavily cheering Thunder Strike's efforts!!
OrochiGeese (X) ["Thunder Clutch" - 19:46] (O) Thunder Strike
But everyone realizes that this isn't over by a long shot. Geese is down on the mat trying to regain his ability to breathe after that tightly applied rear naked choke, and Thunder Strike is taking a moment to regather his energy and breath as well. But these two swore to "end each other" tonight and with Fiero out of the way, one of these two (if not both) should be able to do it.
Thunder holds Geese up and immediately hits another CACOPHO-KNEE right to the side of the head. Geese crumbles down to the mat. Thunder goes to the top rope and delivers a high speed moonsault to Geese's back. Thunder appears to be figuring out what to do here as some of the fans shout "Finish him" and the other fans chant "Give peace a chance". But Thunder appears to be deep in thought here, perhaps even remembering their past. His briefly frowns, but then his expression hardens and he delivers a Thunder Clap to Geese, knocking him out. Then Thunder goes outside of the ring to get a chair. He brings it into the ring and throws it down on the ground near Geese. Thunder becomes distracted again but is able to steel his thoughts. Then he picks Geese up and gets him in position for the Thunder Clap! Is he going to do it on the chair!? Thunder Strike vowed to end Geese's career and this could very well do it!!
Wait, it's Snake Mountain!! Naja Mask, Marauder, and Nightmare run down to the ring and push Thunder off of Geese!! They begin pummeling a protesting and cursing Thunder Strike as Geese lays unconscious. What's this!? Now the DOD SQUAD is running down to the ring as well! A laughing Jack Dod leads Caleb and Ronnie to begin attacking the downed Geese!! And here comes the Mad Gear Gang, SNUH, the LLAMAS Brothers, and the LBC!! They are all in the ring attacking the downed Geese and the exhausted Thunder Strike! It's no coincidence that these Battalions are in the same blocks as Geese's and Thunder Strike's!
Finally help comes in the form of Jang Bae, Jason Hyde, Kyle Walker, Mr. Clyde, and Mr. Figaro, but they are still severely out-manned. They are doing their best they can to fight off these opportunistic Battalion opponents while defending Thunder Strike and especially Geese. But it's just not enough...not until Agent 0 comes out with 4 other similar looking men in black suits. They are able to deftly get into the action and begin TAZING half the men in the ring, sending them fleeing out of self-preservation. Jack Dod and Naja Mask still continue to target Geese and Thunder Strike but Kyle Walker and Jason Hyde chase them off.
Agent 0 has now surrounded the ring with the other suited men with tazers and is talking into his ear piece for more security while Orochi Army and JUSTICE attend to Orochi Geese and Thunder Strike. The two sides look across the ring at each other, shocked at what has transpired tonight. But then each side looks at the throng of Battalion wrestlers mocking them from the stage area before more security comes to remove them. Thunder Strike looks at Jang Bae who nods back at him. We then see Holly running through the audience, jumping the rail, and getting into the ring to check on Geese. She looks really concerned and has his head in her lap. She's trying to wake him up. Thunder Strike looks at her and is about to advance but Jang shakes his head no saying "it's time to move on" as he looks back at the other Battalions. J.U.S.T.I.C.E leaves the ring as the medical team comes down to check on Geese. But he refuses their help and is able to stand with Holly's help. The final shot of the night is of Geese being helped to the back by Holly as he stares at Thunder Strike who is on the stage area. The two share an uneasy glance and the show ends.
*Fin*
