--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The eighth show of the singles league is upon us and we only have three shows left after this! Let's go to a woman who makes sure we all have a 'good time' before this is over, "Mean" Jean Carter!

MJC: "Wait, huh? Was that even a dirty comment? What the heck, now you went and confused me!! And I was already to talk about ow the crowd is in a buzz due to the triple main events tonight! Bak Fu vs. Flip Staley has been a promised barbaric treat since the announcement of the league back in May! Then we have a huge match between two front-runners that have never met in the ring before, Jack Dod and Thunder Strike! Finally, we have OrochiGeese facing the man he tried to CRIPPLE during the previous show, Jason Hyde!! And if that wasn't enough, we have three other matches that just may entertain you in ways so subtle that you forget your own name!! Speaking of names, back to the ring, Wellington!"

Let's go to the ring for the first match where we have Centurion staring wide-eyed at Twinky McLanahan. Uh...yeah, we have the man who hasn't won a match against a legend and someone tied for the lead in this league. What can you say, that's how round-robin leagues go! Wonder how THIS one's gonna turn out..


Match #1 - Twinky McLanahan vs. Centurion

Despite Twinky's attention being mainly on his fierce opponents throughout this league, it's clear that he has been paying attention to the "bottom dwellers". We see that his homework has paid off by his unwillingness to attempt to throw his usually effective chops at Centurion's armor! Instead he goes immediately into elbows aimed squarely at Centurion's face, and Centurion is immediately rocked back. Twinky begins looking for ways to attack Centurion that turns his armor against him and settles into a confident rhythm of suplexes and throws, designed to rattle Centurion's body due to the impact of the armor hitting the mat. Centurion does get some token offense in as he uses his strength to fight out of some of Twinky's submissions attempts, but its clear who is the long time e-fed legend and who is the comedy act dressed like a 2000 year old roman. After stunning Centurion with a big chop to the face (that smarts!), Twinky picks him up for the Truck Driver Driver and plants him for the easy 1..2..3.


Twinky McLanahan (O) ["Truck Driver Driver" - 7:13] (X) Centurion


Our next match features Twinky's student Nick Strife going up against the troubled Naja Mask. Naja was very upset after losing a close match by countout against Bak Fu. Naja had put up his best fight yet but got too greedy and Bak made him pay for it. We'll see if Naja can take out his anger in this match, or if rising star Nick Strife can claim yet another victory on his quest to win this league.

OUCH. And it looked like Naja's anger served to unfocus him more then help him. As he is now laid out unconscious on the mat due to Nick's painful Anaconda Vice finisher. Naja fought but did not seem very focused this match, choosing more to brawl with Nick and try to hurt him rather then seal the victory despite having Nick fatigued throughout the match. Naja's anger was his downfall here...well that and Nick Strife submitting him the f*ck out with that dangerous Vice finisher!! That helped too!

Nick Strife (O) [Anaconda Vice KO - 20:49] (X) Naja Mask


*As Nick Strife begins to leave, Marauder comes running down the aisle in a very fowl mood. This is the second time we've seen this particular scene as Naja Mask has had a bit of a vulnerability in getting knocked out this league! Marauder begins chasing Nick Strife around the ring in anger, and as such, doesn't see a familiar figure creeping up the walkway to the ring. He doesn't see him until BAM! Nightmare connects with a vicious Busaiku knee to the side of the head of an unsuspecting and distracted Marauder! Marauder goes down and Nightmare drags him into the ring. With Nick Strife now gone and Naja being carried away, it's time for our next match which is not coincidentally, Nightmare vs. Marauder!*


Match #3 - Nightmare vs. Marauder

Marauder is already in big trouble in this match, as that Busaiku knee was aimed perfectly and hit with such force to the side of the head that Marauder appears dizzy and disorientated, along with having a major headache. Nightmare's opportunism struck again and he is reaping the rewards as the usually stalwart Marauder does not appear to be able to fight back. That is until Nightmare runs the ropes attempting another knee but Marauder actually manages to CATCH him in midair and throw him down with a powerslam! However, it soon is evident that Marauder's action was more out of blind reflex then plan, as Nightmare is able to go back to control, albeit with a sore back, without too much fight from Marauder.

Marauder does get some more offense in later as Nightmare's back gives out a bit on a suplex attempt, allowing Marauder to reverse it and send Nightmare crashing to the outside. This gives Marauder a chance to gather his mind a bit and start formulating a plan. Nightmare attempts to surprise him with a rebound dropkick to the inside but Marauder just SWATS it away and then goes on the offensive with various slams and drops, taking advantage of Nightmare's slightly injured back due to that earlier powerslam.

But it still seems that Marauder's balance is not quite right, as when he attempts an "Inertian Hammer" (Polish Hammer), he actually stumbles a bit to the side and misses Nightmare. Considering one of Marauder's great strengths are his momentum-based lariats, this does not bode well for him to be unable to even connect with it due to the head trauma he suffered from the earlier Busaiku Knee. Nightmare takes advantage of the whiffed Hammer and dropkicks Marauder to the knee, sending Marauder's head crashing down to the mat once more as he screams in agony. Nightmare hits one more Busaiku Knee to attempt to seal the victory and goes for the pin but Marauder's great spirit causes him to kick out of it, throwing Nightmare off his body some six feet away in a fit of rage. Nightmare realizes there's only one way to end this match and he once again picks Marauder up. This time Nightmare stretches his own back a bit before lifting Marauder up with that leg-lift style brainbuster that has put away many opponents in the past. He drives Marauder right on his head, and it appears that Marauder has been knocked out, much like his cohort Naja Mask. Nightmare covers and gets the 1...2...3 in what many will call an opportunistic victory!


Nightmare (O) [Leg Lift Brainbuster KO - 11:23] (X) Marauder


Nightmare quickly leaves the ring looking around somewhat suspiciously. But with Marauder's ally Naja Mask also knocked tonight, it does not look like anyone would try to retaliate anyway. One thing we know for sure is that this grueling league is causing many injuries among participants, and we're about to experience a match where it is likely that neither man leaves the ring on his own two feet.

Bak Fu and Flip Staley have never faced each other before in the ring but were immediately at odds when this league took shape. Flip Staley was then under the dollar of OrochiGeese while Bak was one of the men that OG had been at odds with since last year. These two men are both known for their mixed martial arts prowess and their overall ferocity and violence. Bak Fu is "Mr. Head Drop" and Flip Staley developed quite a reputation in the mixed martial arts world, eventually being thrown out due to his behavior. Many have been awaiting this match throughout the league and now we will finally get it. Whoever claims this victory will likely have to simply outlast their opponent or knock them out all together. Bak's striking may actually be outmatched by Flip's, but Flip's penchant for violence may seem like a walk in the happy bunny park compared to Bak's headdrops and overall non-stop aggression. And here to referee this match is new UBL referee Anji Yukyuzan who is no stranger to a knock-down, drag-em-out fight, and will be sure to give each man enough latitude to do what they feel they need to do to win this match, no matter how shocking.

And 'shocking' is exactly the word to be used as Bak shocked Flip by reversing Flip's own attempt at a submission move into a quick victory! Flip dragged Bak down into his guard but Bak, no stranger to mixed martial arts positions, immediately took advantage of his opportunity by floating over into a pin to hold Flip down!! In the end, despite the fact that they were in a fight, it was Bak Fu who had the wherewithal to realize what it took to win a wrestling match. The two of them fought tooth and nail and it looked like Flip may have actually sealed victory earlier with his trademark Brainbuster, but Bak showed his inhuman resilience and sailed towards victory in a custom made sailboat!

(Yeah, just be glad I didn't make the obvious "Ba(c)kFlip joke...oh wait.)


Bak Fu (O) [Guard reversal into pin - 16:42] (X) Flip Staley



And our next match features two of the men most likely to win this league. Before tonight, Jack was tied for the lead with Twinky whereas Thunder Strike was just a few points back from the lead. These two have never faced each other in a formal match before but have been at each other's throats during post-match attacks and saves (by Jack and Thunder, respectively). Thunder Strike knows the threat that Jack is while Jack has to take Thunder Strike more seriously then he has many others here in his nonchalant and easy victories. Jack has to bring his A-game while Thunder Strike can't be distracted by Jack's shenanigans.

And Jack Dod pulls one over on Thunder Strike!! After both men took some of each other's biggest offensive onslaughts and moves, Jack Dod outwitted Thunder Strike by going for a pin attempt when Thunder Strike wasn't expecting it. Though the earlier low blow certainly took Thunder Strike's mind out of the match and Jack capitalized on it with the element of suprise!! Thunder Strike does deserve credit for fighting out of the Four-Figure leglock, DodSmack, and two attempts at the Chair Illusion, but in the end, it was Jack Dod's bag of tricks that won him yet another crucial match in this league.

Jack Dod (O) [Low Blow - 23:01] (X) Thunder Strike


*Jack Dod leaves the ring maniacally laughing as Thunder Strike writhes a bit on the ground clutching his uh...tender parts. Jack makes the international "belt is mine" pose as the crowd is forced in thought about the high possibility Jack may JUST.BE.RIGHT about his prediction. Thunder Strike gets up and sneers as Jack Dod, but he holds back on chasing him, as if to save his energy.*

That may be because our next match is one that Thunder Strike is keeping a close eye on. A match that perhaps distracted Thunder Strike in his preparation for his match with Jack Dod, even (though I doubt Thunder Strike would make such an excuse even if this narrator suggests it for his benefit!) For the last few months, OrochiGeese swore to end Jason Hyde's career, and he may have just that chance right now. And after Thunder Strike's recent words, you have to believe that he's gonna be watching the back of his ally Jason in case things get too out of control. Because right now it's all about Jason Hyde facing his attacker from last week, and a top leader in this league, OrochiGeese. This rivalry has been brewing ever since the third OG-FPD Anniversary Show last December where Jason Hyde interfered on his sister's behalf to save her from a violent attack by Crimson Mask. OrochiGeese did not approve of Jason's valiant save and instead saw it as interference that disrespected OrochiGeese and his show. A war of words escalated from there and culminated in Jason Hyde backing up Thunder Strike and Jang Bae against Geese on Voltage earlier this year. OrochiGeese finally got so angry that he offered Jason a spot in the UBL with the sole intent of ending his career. And after numerous attempts, OG may finally have the chance now in a one-on-one match. But Jason Hyde has shown great skill and determination in this league, winning a number of big matches he was not expected to. Geese is a legend, no doubt, but Jason Hyde has shown how his fire and heart can lead him to huge victories. Can he raise his game to the occasion once again to prevent Geese from critically injuring him, and maybe even DEFEAT him in the process? Let's go to the ring and find out!

[OrochiGeese]

*OrochiGeese comes to the ring first, with a devilish grin on his face, one of HUNGER. He is actually foaming at the mouth from this opportunity to finish off Jason after the damage he caused the previous week. Geese gets into the ring and then turns to face the ramp. Jason's entrance begins and Geese is right there ready for him but..what's this? No Jason? No Jason! Ambush? Backstage attack? Tapdancing Tapirs? Rabid Gophers? All this and more, only $49.99! Erm, sorry... sidetracked. Still, no Jason! Suddenly, a flash of silver on the OrochiTron, and there's an image on it... of Jason Hyde!*

Jason: "Hey, Geese! Two weeks ago, you took advantage of my match with Flip Staley to attack both me and him. You almost hit me with the Chaos Infinity Hammer, a move known to damage careers if not lives. Fortunately for me, a Nightmare rocked you out of it..."

*The image changes on the OrochiTron to the attack on Flip Staley and Jason Hyde, two weeks ago. Geese has Jason up for the Chaos Infinity Hammer when... *crunch*! Nightmare Busaiku to the back of the neck, and Geese crumples like a sack of goose eggs*

Jason: "I know your type, Geese. You are all about the power, and letting people know it. I'm sure you were just sending Flip and me a message, huh? That's what happens if someone messes with you..."

*The image changes back to Jason, who turns his attention back to the camera*

Jason: "You know what, Geese? I got the message. I got the message, loud and clear. There's only one reason you'd put me in the Chaos Infinity Hammer two weeks before our match."

*Jason nods slightly, a hint of a smile in the corner of his mouth*

Jason: "You're afraid of me..."

*The screen flashes silver and then goes out, and Jason's music hits again. Unseen by Geese, Jason emerges from the crowd, jumps the guardrail, and slides into the ring behind Geese in one fluid motion. Geese is still unaware of Jason's presence, which makes the sounding of the bell THAT much more confusing to him! But he quickly turns around to see Jason smiling at him and it looks like we're ready to begin this match, whether a mortified and confused Geese is or not!"


Match #6 - Jason Hyde vs. OrochiGeese

OrochiGeese, face aflaze with anger, rushes at Jason with a lariat but its ducked! Geese turns around to see Jason smiling again, further enraging him! Geese attempts another lariat but Jason sees it coming and dropkicks Geese's leg out from under him!! Geese's face hits the mat hard and Jason looks like he's about to teach him a bit of a lesson for the previous show. Jason rolls Geese on his back, mounts him and starts elbowing him in the face! This is a more intense Jason Hyde then we've EVER seen before and Geese is trying to kick him off but is unable to. Finally, he manages to sweep Jason's legs and reverse the mount, with Geese now on top. He begins choking Jason but Jason uses his incredible flexibility to get his legs up and over, catching Geese in a surprise triangle choke! Geese is...well, SURPRISED! He didn't know Jason was so adept on the ground and is finding it out the hard way! However, Geese is much stronger then Jason and is still relatively fresh in this match. He manages to lift Jason up in the air, going for an early powerbomb, but Jason rolls over the shoulders and catches him in a sunset flip for a quick 2 count! Geese kicks out and then slides out to the floor, catching his breath and looking shocked at how the match is going so far. The crowd is firmly behind Jason and is very impressed with the fight he has shown up to this point.

Geese gets back into the ring cautiously and slowly walks towards Jason, attempting a collar and elbow tieup. The two jockey for position but Geese has the advantage here and muscles Jason into the corner. The ref tells him to break it up and he steps back a bit but then launches into a punch...one that Jason ducks out of! Geese's own momentum sends him into the turnbuckle and Jason unloads with elbows! The ref gets him to break it but Jason goes for one more elbow for good measure, which is caught by Geese and used to irish whip Jason back into the corner. Geese then drops Jason throat first against the top rope and it looks like he's finally got control in this match...albeit 5 long and painful minutes after he expected to!

Geese takes advantage of the downed Jason and mounts him for another choke. Only this time, Geese is ready for when Jason attempts a triangle choke and blocks his legs. He then punches THROUGH Jason's legs onto his prone face but Jason does not give up. However his face is certainly getting a bit puffy from the punishment. Geese lets up when he sees Jason isn't going to give up so easily. He then yells out: "I'll make you submit to my will!" and picks Jason up, gets behind him and puts him in an excruciating looking sleeper over Geese's own knee. Jason is screaming in pain but REFUSES to tap out. But unlike the choke, Geese seems primed to keep Jason in this position for a bit longer, that is until Jason lifts his left knee right up into Geese's face! This does the trick and Geese lets go. Jason takes immediate advantage and starts hitting some leg kicks. On the final one, Geese catches it and then slaps him right back down to the mat.

Geese then starts getting more serious and hits Jason with a variety of different-angled neckbreakers. He is no doubt setting him up for one of his potentially crippling finishers that target and pulverize that part of the body. He then hits Jason with a huge DDT, sending him down to the mat at a sick angle. He covers but Jason still kicks out at 2, though the way he is flailing around it could be that the kickout was a result of his body's reflex from that DDT. Geese seems to think so as well and goes for another DDT. But before he drops, Jason hits him with a vicious inside leg kick using his heel, sending Geese off balance just long enough for Jason to grab ahold of his waist and LAUNCH him with a northern lights suplex whip! The crowd goes nuts but Jason can't fully capitalize due to the neck punishment he just suffered.

Both men get to their feet slowly and look at each other, Geese with a sadistic expression on his face while Jason wearing a determined one. Geese goes to grab him but Jason slips under his arm and greets him with a big elbow pat right as Geese turns around. A few more elbows send him reeling, but learning from earlier on, Jason switches up his offence and now goes into leg kicks. Before Geese gets too accustomed to those, Jason scores with a HUGE rolling sole butt, sending Geese careening against the ropes, only to rebound back into another low dropkick! Jason then swirls his finger in the air and hits a picture perfect rebound elbow, landing right on the upper back/neck of Geese. He runs up the ropes again, but this time waits for Geese to get up, and hits a huge missile dropkick. But when he covers, he just gets a 2 count.

Jason stays on the offensive, hitting a sequence of rolling dragon screws, holding on to each one as he goes into the other. Geese howls in pain, holding his leg, and Jason responds kindly by stomping Geese's knee on the ground. All's fair when your opponent tried to end your career, I suppose! Jason is considering his options here, thinking about whether to go for the neck or the leg. He opts to continue his leg assault with a half crab, which Geese just breaks out of by grabbing the ropes. The ref breaks the hold and Geese slithers outside again. But this time Jason doesn't want to wait for Geese to catch his breath and launches himself into a plancha...which is avoided at the last second by Geese who dives out of the way, leaving Jason to fall face first onto the ground! A sickening thud rises the crowd out of their seat to see the damage while Geese gloats and points to his head about reading Jason's assault.

Geese catches his breath and begins stomping the fallen Jason right on the back of the neck! And it looks like it may be time for Jason to confront the guillotine. Metaphorically of course, as those things HAVE to be illegal in wrestling matches! But what is not illegal is a throwing german suplex, which Geese uses to launch Jason INTO the ring from the outside. Only, this was much more sickening in reality then it was in theory, as Jason didn't quite make it INTO the ring. Rather, his head bounced off the ropes and he landed right back outside on the ground, to the crowd's disgust and Geese's sickening grin. Finally, Geese rolls Jason back in to the ring and the combination of the missed plancha and the throwing german suplex looks to have taken a major toll on him. However, Geese isn't following up as fast as usual due to favoring that leg which Jason had worked on earlier. Geese is even having some trouble lifting Jason for a bodyslam but uses his upper body strength to compensate. He then hits a HUGE STO, it looks like Jason may be down for good but Geese isn't going for the pin. Rather, he lets out a mighty roar and puts Jason into the Chaos Mutilation, cinching it back as far as he can go. Jason looks to be in a dire situation here he manages to stay calm and start rotating his body back and forth. While this doesn't break Geese's hold, it DOES have the affect of putting enough torque on Geese's wounded knee to make HIM break the hold voluntarily. Geese looks angry and roars AGAIN, this time rolling the still prone Jason over and putting him into the Orochi Crossface. But the break in the action was just enough for Jason to get a bit of energy, and he rolls Geese over (while in the crossface) into a pin! 1..2..2.9! Geese was surprised but he gets up, releases the crossface and starts kicking Jason in the head. A fourth kick is caught by Jason on the floor and reversed into a dragon screw!

OG gets sent to the ground, again clutching his knee in pain. Jason slowly gets up woozy but balances himself using Geese's own outstretched leg. Still balancing, Jason kicks Geese in the back of the knee repeatedly, and Geese can't escape until he uses his other leg to kick Jason diagonally right in the face! The force of the kick knocks Jason's head back with a snap and likely also breaks Jason's nose, as he is now bleeding profusely. OG slowly gets up, favoring his leg and picks Jason up as well, who is now blinded by his own blood and tears. OG grabs Jason into a powerbomb position, and DRIVES his neck into the mat with the Raging Bolt!! This has to be over...1..2..2.9!! How the hell did Jason just kick out of that!? Was it just reflex again based on the shocking pain the Raging Bolt sends through the spine!? Or was Jason consciously able to mount his determination once more!? Geese wants to know this as much as anyone! He picks Jason up again, lets out a mighty roar and attempts another Raging Bolt. But this time, Jason is able to reverse it into a frankensteiner, spiking Geese on his own head!! Jason can't make the cover but he does buy himself some breathing room, not to mention injuring Geese here. Jason follows up with a fisherman buster, this time able to go for the pin, but only gets a 2.9. It looks like Jason has turned to targetting Geese's head and neck now, perhaps out of retribution, perhaps out of desperation. But he and only he knows the answer as he sets Geese up for the Quicksilver Cascade! He nails it and the crowd rises to their feet...

1...
2...
2.99!

So close but still not enough! Jason goes behind Geese and grabs him for an elevated german suplex. But another 2.9 as Geese growls in response to the pain. Jason goes for it again, but Geese switches to his back to counter...oh no, not another throwing german...NO, Geese faked it and spikes Jason down into an elevated german suplex of his own! We've never seen him do that before but Jason didn't even attempt to counter it once he expected the throwing german suplex that Geese usually hits! Still, this clever chicanery only gets Geese a 2 count before Jason reaches for the ropes for the break. And now both men are lying on the ground, gasping for air. The look on Geese's face speaks volumes: How could his attempt to end Jason's career put so much fight into this man!?' And the look Geese struggles to hide betrays even more: Can he actually BEAT Jason when he's in this determined state?

Both men finally rise to their feet but have to use the ropes to support themselves. Jason is clutching his neck while Geese clutches his leg in one hand and massages his neck in the other to get some feeling back. The two slowly advance on each other but Jason's naturally superior speed, not to mention the state of Geese's leg, wins out here as he begins peppering Geese once more with leg kicks and then goes for another rolling solebutt...BLOCKED! Jason is still facing the wrong way as Geese grabs him from behind and lifts him onto his shoulders! Oh no, not this, NOT the Chaos Infinity Hammer!! But as Geese drops down and leans sideways to deliver the move, Jason kicks off Geese's shoulders, allowing himself to land on his own feet right next to Geese who falls to try to execute the Hammer. Jason immediately grabs Geese's leg and twists it, contorts it, rolls over, and RIGHT INTO THE NOWHERE TO HYDE!! Geese is trapped, right in the middle of the ring!! He..he...grabs for the ropes...he got them! NO! Jason pulls him away!! Geese is stuck again in the middle..but he won't give up, he's clawing at the ropes and using whats left of his strength to reach them. Jason uses Geese's own idea against him, and immediately lets go of the hold and runs to the ropes that Geese was dragging to. Geese looks confused as to why the pain has stopped but quickly and painfully understands as he feels a springboard legdrop land onto his upper back and neck! Jason then drags Geese back into the middle of the ring, applies the Nowhere to Hyde again and...it can't be true, can it? OrochiGeese has just tapped clean to Jason Hyde RIGHT in the middle of the ring!


Jason Hyde (O) ["Nowhere to Hyde"- 27:42] (X) OrochiGeese


The crowd is on their feet in uproarious applause as the ref raises Jason's hand!! As surprised as some of the crowd may be at this outcome, yet, they don't seem SHOCKED. That is because, after seeing this match, they understand HOW Jason Hyde could beat Geese. But they are delighted to see how Jason was able to raise his game to this next level like this and beat a legend. A legend who threatened to beat Jason at the very least, if not outright end his career. But here, at the end of this night, it is Jason Hyde who stands tall, albeit with some obvious soreness. And it is Geese who is writhing on the mat, grabbing his leg in pain. Some may call it a calculated decision on Geese's part to tap here, given the nature of this league and his upcoming matches, but the fact that Jason got him to this point is what matters. That Geese now truly sees Jason as a threat and had to tap to avoid an injury, and more tellingly, that Geese was unable to stop him or escape from this match without Jason being in control at the end. Jason's determination won him this match and it is clear that Geese did not expect this kind of fight out of this young man, nor could he ADAPT to him once he realized what a performance Jason was putting on.

*As Jason holds his hands in the air, Geese curses him from the outside, where Mr. Figaro and Mr. Clyde ran to help him backstage. But on their path back, they are blocked by Thunder Strike and Jang Bae. Clyde and Figaro get ready to meet their perceived attack, but there is no such intention on the faces of TS and Jang. Rather, they divert their gaze from Orochi Army and turn it to Jason in the ring, where they start clapping for him as the crowd goes wild and continues their own applause for the hero of the night.*

We'll see you in two weeks for another show and no doubt there will be fall out from tonight, and how much of that will be Geese's ability to carry on against one of his biggest rivals, Twinky McLanahan, after the damage he sustained tonight?! Yes folks, the main event for our next show is Orochi Geese vs. Twinky McLanahan. You smell that? That's WIN. Get a whiff and join us in two weeks for the full aroma!
