As Oblivion comes on the air, “Gardenia” by Kyuss hits the sound system. The intro guitar solo builds up, and Esix Cordero slaps aside the curtain, followed closely by his manager Skeeter Butts. His face is concealed by a red towel which is draped over his head. He saunters down towards the ring – eyes locked to the ground. He then climbs the stairs and enters the ring, bouncing and pumping himself up for the match.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a twenty minute time limit and is a Pride Cup Championship Semi-Finals match! Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Skeeter Butts, from Phoenix, Arizona, weighing in at 170 pounds, Esix Cordero!
The lights dim to darkness during the intro to ‘Press Gang’, white lights begin to flicker as the drums kick in. Paul Sant takes a few big steps out from the back. He then stands up straight and takes a look around the now satisfied looking crowd while nodding his head in approval and his hands on his hips. He then walks down to the ring with a smirk on his face with an arm raised in the air. He slides into the ring and runs to the opposite corner and stands on the middle rope. The audiences loves it as begins to talk trash about his opponent while looking at various sections of the place.
Ike Rose: And his first opponent, weighing in at 218 pounds, from Murder City, USA, Paul Sant!
The heavy riff intro of "Shake your Blood" by Probot hits the speakers as the crowd rocket in unison to their feet. Up in arms, the loyal "brothers and sisters" of gearhead sensation Eddie Nash boom their support as the man himself walks out of the curtain dressed in full leathers. Eddie grins as his adoring fans roar with delight, making Eddie's ego almost as big as Lemmie's moles. He saunters down the ramp high-fiving the fans while focusing his entire attention on the ring as Lemmie's lyrics kick in. He slides into the ring and bounces to his feet, throwing a fist in the air as he does this causing a synonymous "FUCK YEAH!" to erupt from the fans. Again Eddie throws up a fist as he slips out of his jacket and awaits his opponent's challenge with the music now starting to die down.
Ike Rose: And the final participant in this three-way match, weighing in at 245 pounds, from Knoxville, Tennessee, “The King of the Road” Eddie Nash!
Keith Oswalt: It’s time to start the road to the first Pride Cup Championship. The first match of the night promises to be an exciting one as we have my favorite wrestler from PWF, Paul Sant, taking on two of your current favorites in Pride.
Eric Witz: We have the knock out artist Esix Cordero and the toughest son of a bitch, the King of the Road Eddie Nash going against each other and Paul Sant, all with the hopes to advance to fight for the chance to be crowned the first Pride Cup Champion. Definitely should be an exciting match as Esix looks to continue his knock out ways, Sant looks to have a strong comeback, and Nash looks to become the best newcomer to Pride.
Keith Oswalt: While you may say that Nash and Cordero have all the potential in the world, I’m going to have to go with Sant taking this match as he has been at the top before, and for that reason alone, he knows how to compete at the highest level, unlike his opponents.
As the match starts, Esix Cordero eyes his opponents, feeling uneasy in the triple threat match due to having become so accustomed to wrestling just one opponent at a time due to his history in MMA. Despite this, he decides to rush towards Paul Sant, tackling him to the ground in the process. Mounting on top of him, Esix delivers a few body shots to Paul Sant, but as he does this, Eddie Nash takes advantage of having nobody looking at him by walking up behind Esix Cordero and lifting him off of Sant with a full nelson hold. Spinning Esix around after lifting him off of Sant, Nash whips Cordero off to the ropes and as Cordero hit’s the ropes, he holds onto them, letting Eddie Nash hit a big boot on nothing but air. Having been thrown off balance, Esix Cordero runs towards Eddie Nash and hits him with a big running elbow, elbowing him in the stomach and doubling him over. After this, Cordero pounds on Nash’s back before throwing his knee up and slamming it into Nash’s face. Popping back up, Nash stumbles back, but as he does this, Paul Sant unknowingly trips Nash by being propped on his hands and knees and Nash stumbling over him.
Confused as to how Nash fell, Sant looks at Nash before turning his head back to Esix Cordero, but as he does this, Cordero throws a huge kick! Ducking at the last possible second, Sant dodges being knocked out by Cordero’s kick and with Cordero still stunned by missing his kick, Sant flashes up and hit’s a big dropkick on Cordero, knocking him back. Again getting back to his feet, Paul Sant whips off a quick arm drag on Esix Cordero, tossing him to the mat again. Both men again get back up to their feet, but as they do this, Sant rushes towards Esix before Esix can find his bearings and with this momentum behind him, Sant is able hit a clothesline on Esix, knocking him again to the ground.
Standing above Esix, Sant begins to stomp on Esix as he tries to get back up, constantly pushing him back to the mat as he controls the match. After several stomps though, Paul Sant is suddenly lifted up from behind in a half nelson and from this half nelson, he is thrown down on top of the man he was stomping with a half nelson slam! Landing harshly on his shoulders, Sant lays on the mat as Eddie Nash goes for a cover over him,

Kick out!
Eric Witz: Early near fall for Eddie Nash as he hits that big half nelson slam on Sant!
Keith Oswalt: You won’t get of Sant that easily, he’s a former World champion for a reason, Eddie Nash needs to pay his dues still.
Eric Witz: Why so much hatred for Eddie Nash?
Keith Oswalt: He pretends to be something he knows nothing about. All he is, is a villain, but he wants to portray himself as a hero? He doesn’t fool me.
Despite the kick out, Nash gets back up to his feet and pulls Paul Sant up with him and while clutching him, he begins to strike him with his knees, trying to knock him out in the process. After several of these knee strikes, Nash doubles over Sant’s arms and tosses Sant over him with a butterfly suplex. Getting back to his feet and turning around, Esix Cordero runs at Nash and goes to tackle him to the ground, however at the last second, Nash side steps Esix and as Esix hit’s the ropes and comes back at Nash, Nash clocks him with a polish hammer, dropping him to the mat! Following the polish hammer, Nash goes for a cover,

Sant breaks the cover up!
After diving in and breaking up the cover, Sant rises back up to his feet along with Eddie Nash. Going for a big right hand on Sant, Nash swings at him, but Sant is able to duck underneath the right hand, gets behind Eddie Nash and hits him with a neckbreaker. After hitting this, Sant hops back to his feet and looks at Eddie Nash before running to the ropes. Hopping up onto the ropes, Sant leaps back and rotates 180 degrees and his 180 degrees of leg drop on Eddie Nash (Spinning Springboard Legdrop)! After hitting this big move, Paul Sant goes for a cover on Eddie Nash, hooking his leg,

Esix Cordero breaks the cover up!
Keith Oswalt: Paul Sant almost had Nash done there! Had it not been for Esix Cordero, Nash would have been pinned!
Eric Witz: Luckily for Nash, and Esix, that’s not the case and this match will continue!
Keith Oswalt: It doesn’t matter, once Paul Sant locks Eddie Nash in the Call of Justice, it’ll be all over for that criminal.
Kicking Sant off of Nash after having broken up the cover, Esix drops his knee down over Sant’s face before getting down and locking Sant into a cross arm breaker, hyper extending Sant’s elbow with the excruciating hold. Pulling back Sant’s arm as far as he possibly can, Sant appears to be ready to submit, but right as he lifts his hand to tap out, Eddie Nash gets to his feet and boots Esix Cordero in the face, forcing him to release the submission hold. Now pulling Esix up to his feet, Nash drives his knees into Esix’s stomach before lifting him up over his head and throwing him into the mat with a scoop slam. After having hit this move, Nash doesn’t let up, instead pulling Esix back up to his feet and throwing him to the ropes. As Esix bounces off of the ropes, Nash catches him and lifts him up before driving him down into the mat with a thunderous spinebuster!
Getting back up after hitting the big move, Eddie Nash raises his arm into the air much to the crowd’s admiration. As he does this however, Paul Sant waits, ready to ambush Nash as soon as he turns around. Turning around slowly, Paul Sant springboards up onto the top rope before bouncing up onto the top rope and nailing Eddie Nash with a Face Full of Forearm (Springboard Forearm)!
Keith Oswalt: That’s the way Sant! Kick his ass!
Eric Witz: Don’t you normally yell at me when I cheer a competitor on?
Keith Oswalt: This is different, I’m cheering for a criminal to be hurt!
Eric Witz: You’ve no reason to believe he’s a criminal! He’s done nothing to you!
Knocked to the mat after being hit with the big move, Eddie Nash lays again on the mat as Paul Sant grins and once more runs to the ropes and leaps up onto them. Turning around, Sant leaps off, but as he does this, Esix Cordero nails him with a huge Norris’d (Roundhouse Kick to the Temple)!
Keith Oswalt: Good lord! What a strike!
Eric Witz: That’s the most impressive move I’ve seen Esix Cordero hit ever!
Keith Oswalt: I wouldn’t be surprised if the match was over right now after that stiff of a shot!
Running of fumes, Esix Cordero looks at Paul Sant and with a scowl on his face, locks Paul Sant into the Crucifix Hold and begins to repeatedly elbow Paul Sant in the head, hitting him with the Muerte (Crucifix Hold with Repeated Elbows)! Launching off elbow after elbow after elbow, Paul Sant slowly fades out and after the twelfth elbow he receives, Paul Sant appears to have no more life in him, but as the referee goes to call for the knock out, off of the ropes Eddie Nash rushes towards Esix Cordero and hits him with an off balance Drop The Hammer (Running Spear)! Launching Cordero off of Sant and under the bottom rope, Eddie Nash, breathing heavily, lifts Paul Sant up off of the mat and with his last remaining bit of energy hits him with the Highway to Hell (180 Gutwrench Powerbomb)! Sitting down into a cover, Nash pins Sant,
1...
2...
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, via pinfall, at 14 minutes and 25 seconds, “The King of the Road” Eddie Nash!
Eric Witz: Eddie Nash is advancing to the Pride Cup Championship! In just three weeks of being here, Eddie Nash has the potential to declare himself as a main stray for the Kingdom!
Keith Oswalt: He’s the last man that deserves to represent this company. He’s a man with a bad past, he can’t represent the company as it should be.
Eric Witz: Say what you will about his past, but in his present he’s an outstanding man and deserves this opportunity, I’ll be cheering for him in the main event.
Drenched in sweat, Eddie Nash raises to his feet as the referee raises his hand and slowly gets out of the ring. Looking down at Esix Cordero, Nash offers him a hand to help him up to his feet, but instead of accepting the sign of respect, Esix Cordero shakes his head and gets up on his own feet while Nash simply walks away, slapping hands with the fans as he celebrates his victory and begins to prepare for his match for the Pride Cup Championship.

”New Wu” by The Raekwon, Method Man and Ghostface Killah begins to play as many of the fans in the attendance begin to make the sounds of the background chorus, chanting with the song, “Neewww Wwwuuuu!” Some fans begin to also boo as the song comes on and there, through the crowds begins to climb out Dru Tha Merc, sitting in a seat and looking at his watch, realizing that he’s on the clock.
Tell a friend, it's that symbol again, that W,
Coming through, bust a shot on your block, give me a suu.
Get it right, all my chicks hold ya tits, let's get it in,
All my niggas take a toke off this weed, let it begin.
Here we go, yo, ya'll already know what it do,
Brand new, nigga, back from the slums, it be the Wu.
Now throw ya W's up, back from the slums, it be the Wu.
Dru Tha Merc strolls through the crowd, cracking his knuckles and taking a grasp of his hat, pulling it off his head as he looks around, stealing a drink from some random person, drinking it empty and tossing the cup, filled with ice at some random person. He pulls himself over the guard rail and outside of the ring, looking around as he swats his hat against his thigh a few times.
Ike Rose: Making his way to the ring, from Tampa Bay, Florida, weighing in at 297 pounds, Dru Tha Merc!
You know how to dress a lad, get rocked, hundred bags, black du-rags
Ski masks is on, g-rags.
Nigga try to take pictures, relax, still in the grass.
You'll learn respect, burst when I ask,
Rhyme master busy, Rizzy on the subject.
Love Deck, thug buried, drug vest, snub sets, killing the most,
Night time toast, gorillas in boats, three boats.
Realers is killa, gangsta feel notes,
Hibernation yo, switch up, liver nation, fly information.
Vivid vacation, deliberation moments,
Move like '91 Romans, cloning everything,
Gents only, the rent's on the stove, I'm in Rome.
Dru slides into the ring, the big brawler slapping his chest twice and pointing to the fans, motioning his fingers like a gun. He takes his hat and tosses it, Frisbee style to the fans before he cracks his neck twice, and gets ready for his match, the ref eyeing him suspiciously before patting him down. The ref pulls a black tire iron from the back of Dru's belt, and wags a finger at him. Dru shrugs, his face conveying that he could care less and waits for the bell to ring.
Tell a friend, it's that symbol again, that W,
Coming through, bust a shot on your block, give me a suu.
Get it right, all my chicks hold ya tits, let's get it in,
All my niggas take a toke off this weed, let it begin.
Here we go, yo, ya'll already know what it do,
Brand new, nigga, back from the slums, it be the Wu.
Now throw ya W's up, back from the slums, it be the Wu.
Ike Rose: The following match-up is a triple threat match, and a semi-final match-up in the Pride Championship Cup! Introducing first, weighing in at 297 pounds, and hailing from Tampa Bay, Florida…Dru Tha Merc!
"You Know My Name" booms throughout the arena as DeSalto emerges from backstage with a pretty woman on his arm. As the men and moral women in the crowd boo him, the majority of women in attendance silently swoon. He looks to the commentators and gives them a smug wink, making Keith Oswalt shake his head in disgust. DeSalto rolls under the bottom rope and immediately ascends a turnbuckle, motioning at his six pack for the women in attendance.
Ike Rose: And next, weighing in at 219 pounds, and hailing from Phoenix, Arizona…”Don Juan” DeSalto!
'King of the World' plays over the P.A. as the fans rise to their feet and cheer as Josh Eagles burst through the curtain. Slowly he makes his way to the ring slapping hands with fans, giving some hugs out and shaking hands. Finally he rolls under the bottom rope and stands in the center of the ring.
Ike Rose: And finally, weighing in at 195 pounds, and hailing from Oshawa, Ontario…Josh Eagles!
The bell rings, and all three men eye one another, with the main focus being between Eagles and Dru. The two of them get closer together, but DeSalto runs behind Dru, attempting to hit him, but Dru brings his elbow back, slamming it into DeSalto’s face. DeSalto stumbles back, and Du hits him with a few hard hits, before throwing him single handedly across the ring. Dru then lifts him up, military press style, and throws DeSalto out of the ring! Dru then turns to face Eagles, and the two men go in to lock-up. Dru uses his strength to push Eagles into the corner, and then follows it up with some big shots to his stomach. Dru begins to go into a boxing like punches spree, roughing up Eagles, until Eagles dodges a punch, and hits a few of his own, but Dry effortlessly pushes him away. Eagles charges him again, hitting a kick, and beating down on Dru’s neck. Dru then lifts up Eagles, but Eagles slides behind him, and when Dru turns around, he gets dropkicked by Eagles, making him bounce off the ropes, and walk right into an enziguri by Eagles! Eagles goes for a quick pin, but DeSalto grabs Eagles foot, and drags him out of the ring!
DeSalto lifts up Eagles, before dropping him with a huge clothesline! DeSalto then lifts up Eagles, and goes to Irish Whip him into a steel post, but Eagles reverses, and DeSalto slams into the post, holding onto it as he does. Eagles then grabs him, and slams his head on the guard rail, momentarily taking him down. Eagles rolls back into the ring, but gets stomped by Dru as he gets up. Dru lifts up Eagles, and Irish Whips him, catching Eagles with a slam off the run, Dru then pins him…
1…
2…
Kickout by Eagles!
Keith Oswalt: Dru Tha Merc has been the obvious aggressor in this match-up, but Josh Eagles knows how to rebound, definitely. Seems like Don Juan DeSalto is the wildcard here.
Eric Witz: Speaking of the devil, there he is!
Dru stands up, and just as he does, DeSalto jumps off the turnbuckle for a crossbody…but gets caught! He tries to wiggle off, but Dru merely drops him on Eagles! Both men roll about in pain, and Dru lifts up DeSalto. Dru begins to pummel him with some fists, before Irish Whipping him, and slamming DeSalto with a big boot! DeSalto rolls away, and tires to use the referee to pull himself up. DeSalto yells “I’m coming up baby,” obviously in a bit of a dazed state after being hit with a boot. Dru then charges, but Chris Owens cowers, anticipating the hit. This gives DeSalto enough time to hit the Womanizer (uppercut to the groin) on Dru! Dru falls, and DeSalto hops up on the turnbuckle, before jumping off with an elbow…but Dru moves! DeSalto yells about in pain, and Dru lifts him up for a Bearhug! DeSalto yells about, but Eagles moves in, and jumps up, hitting a lung-blower on DeSalto, who is in the air! All three men crash down, with Dru being unaware of what just happened. Eagles takes the opportunity to attempt to lock in the Walls of Joshico…but Dru kicks him off!
Eagles rushes forward, but Dru jumps up, nailing him with a Lou Thez press! Dru hammers with a few shots, before lifting him up, He throws Eagles into the corner, and hops up, hitting the Pride Obliterating Bitch Slap…but Eagles moves out, causing Dru to barely hold onto the ropes he’s standing on. He tries to turn around, only to be hit with a Codebreaker! Eagles then grabs Dru, and successfully locks in the Walls of Joshico!
Keith Oswalt: After some incredible displays of athleticism, Josh Eagles has finally locked in the Walls of Joshico!
Eric Witz: Finnish the job, my…God, is it racist if I call him that word? I mean…he’s black, I’m white, the politics would be crazy…
Eagles holds on, as Dru writhes about, trying to get out of the move. Suddenly, Eagles breaks it, and dodges a clothesline by DeSalto, before nailing DeSalto with the Eagles Wings (Celtic Cross)! He grabs DeSalto, and throws him on top of Dru, before making his way to the turnbuckle. He climbs up, and takes his position…before leaping off for the Legacy Invitation! In a split second, Dru moves DeSalto away, and brings up his knees, nailing Eagles back! Eagles cringes, holding his back, and Dru gets up, before lifting Eagles up and locking in the Bearhug! Eagles screams in pain, but refuses to tap, holding out as long as he can. He then reaches over, and with all his might, grabs the ropes, refusing to give up…but Dru just then dumps him over the ropes, so he hits the canvas below! Dru turns around, and gets nailed with a kick from DeSalto, who then tries to grab him for Chastity Buster (Dragon Suplex into Cattle Mutation), but Dru reverses it, and nails DeSalto with a Crucifix Facebuster! Dru makes the pin…
1…
2…
3!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, and advancing to the finals of the Pride Championship Cup…Dru Tha Merc!
Keith Oswalt: Impressive victory for Tha Merc! Looks like now he’s going into the Finals to face Eddie Nash!
Eric Witz: Yeah, yeah…we’ll see about that one.
Dru celebrates, as Eagles is obviously mad outside the ring. The scene fades out.

As Oblivion comes back on the air, Stephen Callaway, Stuart Cage, Luke Haven, Flap Flanagan, Dustin Douglas, Rich Hamilton, Kid Flanagan, and Obscene stand in the ring. In between all eight of them stands Ike Rose to explain the rules of this battle royal.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit and is to determine the consolation winner of the Pride Cup Championship! The rules for the following battle royal are as followed. All eight competitors will start in the ring at the same time. Eliminations will occur when a wrestler exit’s the ring! These eliminations will continue until only four wrestlers are left! At this point eliminations will occur via submission or pinfall only! The last man standing will be declared the winner of the Pride Cup Championship Consolation Prize!
As Ike Rose now exit’s the ring, the bell rings and at this point, Luke Haven simply turns his body before hitting a huge superkick on Rich Hamilton, instantly taking Hamilton out of the ring and out of the match within seconds!
Ike Rose: Rich Hamilton has been eliminated!
Keith Oswalt: So much for him hoping to bounce back after last week’s disappointing performance.
Eric Witz: As for Luke Haven, he seems to not be letting last week hurt him to bad as he easily eliminates one of the guys who was looked as a favorite in the match.
After having seen Rich Hamilton eliminated, Obscene and Stuart Cage can be seen double teaming Kid Flanagan, both kicking him in the stomach, wrapping their arms around his head and spiking it down into the mat with a brutal DDT. Following the double DDT, Obscene and Stuart Cage both get back to their feet and continue the double team by stomping on Flanagan, refusing to let him get back up. As they both refuse to let him get up to his feet, Flap Flanagan sneaks up behind Obscene and pokes him on the back. At this point, Obscene turns around and sees Flap Flanagan sticking his tongue out at him and spitting towards him. Furious that he’s being mocked, Obscene goes to punch Flanagan, however Flanagan appears to have had this planned as he ducks the punch, grabs Obscene’s arm, clutches it, jumps up before falling to the mat, cracking Obscene’s jaw over his own shoulder!
Bouncing back into the ropes, Obscene holds onto the ropes and here, Stephen Callaway goes to eliminate him as he throws a lariat at him. At the last second however, Obscene runs out and dodges Callaway’s lariat instead catching Callaway with a running neckbreaker, taking Callaway back to the mat. After the neckbreaker, Cage now turns on his former “partner” by stomping on Obscene and lifting him back up to his feet. From here, Cage throws a forearm in Obscene’s face, making him stumble back into the arms of Dustin Douglas. Holding Obscene, Douglas puts Obscene into a full nelson hold and lifts him up, however using his speed to his advantage, Obscene uses Douglas’s pulling force along with his jumping force to launch himself high and catches his legs on Douglas’s neck. Now from here, Douglas is flipped forward as Obscene hit’s a leg scissors on him! Being flipped into the center of the ring seems to be a bad position for Douglas as Kid Flanagan now lifts Douglas up off of the mat and takes him by the back of the head and driving it into a turnbuckle.
Flipping him around so that his back faces the turnbuckle pad, Flanagan now lariats Douglas while Luke Haven comes rushing in from the opposite side and hops up onto the second rope. In a dangerous position of being eliminated, Haven wraps his arm around Douglas’s head and falls down, hitting a second rope spike DDT on Douglas! Slamming head first into the mat, Douglas appears to go limp, but before he can even react to having been hit, Stephen Callaway lifts him up from his downed position and lifts him up over his head. Within seconds of doing this, Callaway tosses Douglas over the top rope with a body slam, eliminating him in the process!
Ike Rose: Dustin Douglas has been eliminated!
Keith Oswalt: Impressive elimination for Stephen Callaway there! He could very easily become the winner of this match. It’d certainly raise his stock in the Kingdom.
Eric Witz: Well, he has a one in six shot of winning now that Douglas and Hamilton have been eliminated. But, that also means he has a five and six shot of losing, not quite betting odds if you ask me.
Keith Oswalt: All of them have one in six odds, you idiot.
After having eliminated Douglas from the match, Stephen Callaway turns around, but as he does this, Stuart Cage nails him with a dropkick, knocking Stephen Callaway over the top rope, however Callaway is able to save himself as he holds onto the top rope and gets his feet on the apron. Standing here, Callaway grabs Stuart Cage as Cage gets up from his feet and from here, Callaway lifts Cage up over his head in position for a suplex, but before he is able to simply toss Cage over his head and get back into the match holding two eliminations in his hands, Flap Flanagan and Kid Flanagan both leap up and hit a double dropkick on Callaway knocking him off of the apron, bringing Stuart Cage crashing down over the steel barricade on the outside!
Ike Rose: Stephen Callaway and Stuart Cage have both been eliminated from the match! The contest is now to be tested under pinfall and submission elimination rules!
Eric Witz: See that’s exactly why you don’t bet on a man with only a 16 percent chance of winning.
Keith Oswalt: You’re a moron. Just call the match… Actually, just shut up.
Eric Witz: That’s not a very nice thing to tell your partner.
Getting up together after hitting the double dropkick, Kid Flanagan and Flap Flanagan turn around to see Obscene and Luke Haven looking at them. Charging after each other, Kid Flanagan and Flap Flanagan both take on Luke Haven and Obscene. Being tackled by Luke Haven, Kid Flanagan attempts to protect himself by putting his hands up while Haven swings left and right hands at him. Knocking Kid in the face a few times. Haven finally grabs him by the head and pulls him up to his feet and from here elbows him in the face before wrapping his arm around Flanagan’s head. From here Haven lifts Kid up but within seconds of holding Kid in the suplex position Haven pushes Kid’s body forward and drops Flanagan down headfirst in a powerbomb position. Going for a cover over Flanagan, Haven holds Kid in this position,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Angry with Flanagan’s kick out, Haven pushes Flanagan forward into the bottom rope and begins to brawl with him. On the other side of the ring, Flap Flanagan appears to have take the advantage over Obscene, holding the back of his head and driving it into the turnbuckle. After this shot, Flanagan whips Obscene to the ropes, but as Obscene reaches the ropes, he hops up onto the second rope and backflips back, but instead of hitting Flanagan with this, Flanagan stays back as Obscene lands on his feet. Rushing forward with Obscene’s back to him, Flanagan rushes forward and nails a lariat to Obscene’s head. Knocking Obscene to the mat, Flanagan flips Obscene around, but before he can go for a cover on Obscene, Luke Haven slams his boot into Flanagan’s head, knocking him back.
Now lifting Obscene himself, Luke Haven takes Obscene’s body and leads him towards Kid Flanagan and throws him towards Kid Flanagan, but instead of being able to throw Obscene through Kid Flanagan, Flanagan moves and all Obscene hits is the ring post as he flies through the ropes! Surprised that Flanagan moved, Luke Haven looks at Kid Flanagan, but before he can do anything, Kid Flanagan hits Luke Haven with an ace crusher, driving Haven’s head into the mat! Flipping Luke Haven over after hitting this move Flanagan goes for a cover,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Keith Oswalt: Impressive kick out by the street fighter out of Leighton! He’s looked impressive so far this match.
Eric Witz: He’s not looking too great right now, Kid Flanagan appears to be taking care of him.
Following the kick out, Kid Flanagan gets back up from the downed position, but as he does this, Obscene seems to have recovered and he flips Flanagan around and almost instantly drives him down into the mat with an Obscene Driver I (Delayed Michinoku Driver)! Planting Flanagan into the mat, Obscene covers Kid Flanagan,
1...
2...
3!
Ike Rose: Kid Flanagan has been eliminated!
Keith Oswalt: Obscene finally pinned Kid Flanagan! If only he could have done it two weeks ago he would be the Syndicate champion!
Eric Witz: I’m sure Obscene will never let Kid Flanagan live this down and whenever he gets another shot at that title, he’ll be sure to take it.
Following the three count, the unlikely partners of Luke Haven and Flap Flanagan join forces and both jump Obscene, putting boots to him. After several strikes to Obscene, the two lift him up off of the mat and whip him to the ropes. Joining arms, they both reach towards Obscene and nearly decapitate him as they hit a double clothesline on him, flipping Obscene over in the process. As Flap Flanagan now gives a goofy smile to the crowd, Luke Haven stays on the offensive as he leaps up and drives his knees into Flap Flanagan’s back, hitting him with a lungblower! Following the move, Haven tosses Flanagan to the mat and goes for a cover on him,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Furious that Flanagan kicked out of the move, Luke Haven gets up to his knees, but as he does this, Obscene bounces off of the ropes and nails a dropkick to Luke’s head! Driving Luke into the mat, Obscene now pulls him back up to his feet and here he whips Luke off to the ropes. Catching Luke as he flies back towards him, Obscene puts his head through Luke’s arms before exploding back and hitting a northern lights suplex on Luke Haven! Bridging after hitting the move, Obscene covers Luke,
1...
2...
Kick out!
Keith Oswalt: Haven continues to show his durability with that kick out, but one has to wonder how much more he can take.
Eric Witz: The dude’s a street fighter, I’m certain he can take quite a bit of punishment.
Keith Oswalt: Professional wrestling and street fighting are very, very different, regardless of what you may think.
Despite the kick out, Obscene keeps focused by flipping his body back and pulling Luke Haven up again. From here, Obscene knees Haven in the stomach. Doubling Haven’s arms, Obscene lifts Luke Haven up off of the mat and spins out. After doing this, Luke Haven hits Obscene with The Violator (Angel’s Wings)! Driving Haven’s face into the mat after hitting this move, Haven rolls over on the mat while Obscene now goes for another cover on him,
1...
2...
3 - Kick out!
Slamming the mat as he’s now become frustrated, Obscene pops up onto his knees, but while he does this, Flap Flanagan nails Obscene with The Critical Kick (Superkick)! Nailing him in the jaw after hitting this move, Flap Flanagan quickly lifts Obscene up off of the ground, before his back hit’s the mat, and from here lifts Obscene over his head and slams him into the mat with a Flap’s Hammer (Jackhammer)! Pinning Obscene after hitting the move, Flap hooks Obscene’s leg,
1...
2...
3!
Ike Rose: Obscene has been eliminated!
Keith Oswalt: And it’s come down to one of the most experienced wrestlers in this tournament in Flap Flanagan, and the most inexperienced wrestler in the tournament being Luke Haven. Should be a very interesting finish to this match.
Eric Witz: New blood vs. Old Blood, should be interesting.
Following Flap Flanagan’s pinfall over Obscene, he gets back to his feet and looks across the ring at the tired newcomer, Luke Haven. Crossing the ring, the two men engage in a collar and elbow tie up, but here Luke Haven shows off his power by pushing Flap Flanagan back. No longer looking to slow the pace down, Flanagan rolls back and rushes at Luke Haven, hitting him with a big lariat in the process.

Kick out!
Almost unable to believe the newcomer’s resiliency, Flap Flanagan gets back up to his feet and here he pulls Haven up as well. Now whipping Haven off to the ropes, Flanagan goes for a huge Critical Kick (Superkick) on Haven, but at the last possible second, Haven ducks underneath the move and stands behind Flanagan. Turning Flanagan around, Haven lifts Flanagan up onto his shoulders and drapes him across before sitting out and hitting Flanagan with a huge Schwein! Planting Flanagan on his head, Haven lets out a bloodcurdling scream as his anger reaches a fever point!

Ike Rose: The following match-up is a Fatal Four way to determine the third place finisher in the Kingdom of Pride Cup Championship Tournament!
“Gardenia” by Kyuss hits the sound system. The intro guitar solo builds up, and Esix Cordero slaps aside the curtain, followed closely by his manager Skeeter Butts. His face is concealed by a red towel which is draped over his head. He saunters down towards the ring – eyes locked to the ground. He then climbs the stairs and enters the ring, bouncing and pumping himself up for the match.
The lights dim to darkness during the intro to ‘Press Gang’, white lights begin to flicker as the drums kick in. Paul Sant takes a few big steps out from the back. He then stands up straight and takes a look around the now satisfied looking crowd while nodding his head in approval and his hands on his hips. He then walks down to the ring with a smirk on his face with an arm raised in the air. He slides into the ring and runs to the opposite corner and stands on the middle rope. The audiences loves it as begins to talk trash about his opponent while looking at various sections of the place.
'King of the World' plays over the P.A. as the fans rise to their feet and cheer as Josh Eagles burst through the curtain throwing the KoP Valiant Championship high above his head.. Slowly he makes his way to the ring slapping hands with fans, giving some hugs out and shaking hands. Finally he rolls under the bottom rope and stands in the center of the ring and lifts the Valiant championship above his head turning around and smiling at the crowd before handing it to the ref and going to the corner to stretch out for the match.
"You Know My Name" booms throughout the arena as DeSalto emerges from backstage with a pretty woman on his arm. As the men and moral women in the crowd boo him, the majority of women in attendance silently swoon. He looks to the commentators and gives them a smug wink, making Keith Oswalt shake his head in disgust. DeSalto rolls under the bottom rope and immediately ascends a turnbuckle, motioning at his six pack for the women in attendance.
Keith Oswalt: I am so, so excited for this one Eric. Tonight, we’re going to get to see Eddie Nash go against Dru Tha Merc for the Pride Cup, but now’s the time to crown the third place competitor, between Paul Sant, Esix Cordero, Josh Eagles, and Rodrigo DeSalto!
Eric Witz: So many new people…I hate new people!
The bell officially rings, and all four men stare at one another, taking respective corners. Without a further moment, the chaos unfolds, as Esix begins to brawl with Sant, and Eagles with DeSalto. After a few short moments, Eagles tosses DeSalto over the top rope, and Esix tosses Sant away, before the two men turn towards one another. They smile, before Esix swings forward, with Eagles barely missing his punch. Eagles then grabs him, and tires to go for an early Impact Asylum, but Esix moves back, nearly causing Eagles to trip. Esix bounces off the ropes, but DeSalto trips him up, and drags him out of the ring. Eagles turns, only to receive a full face of forearm from Paul Sant! Sant begins to stomp Eagles, before lifting him up and moving him into a corner. Sant begins to hit Eagles with some quick chops, before backing up, and nailing Eagles with a step up enziguri, making him stumble forward…right into a huge clothesline from Esix! Esix then spins, going for an elbow, but Sant ducks under it, and runs of the ropes, before meeting a spinning heel kick from Esix! However, DeSalto soon gets back in the ring, and hammers on Esix, but Esix turns around and pops him clean in the jaw, before backing him into a corner, and nailing him with a few elbows to the face, followed by some knees to the ribcage!
Keith Oswalt: Esix Cordero definitely showing how he made it this far, as he seems to be fighting all three men at once! Truly the hardest hitter in Pride.
Eric Witz: The bigger they are, the harder they…wait, that cliché doesn’t apply here. Dammit generic commentating!
Esix Irish Whips DeSalto into a corner, and charges him, but DeSalto brings up his foot to stop Esix, before getting on the ropes, and jumping off, hitting a crossobdy on Esix. He’s about to go for the cover, but Eagles rushes in and breaks it up. Eagles then lifts up DeSalto, and Irish Whips him, before ducking a clothesline, grabbing DeSalto, and trying to lock in a Walls of Joshico. However, DeSalto wiggles, but Eagles falls back, sending DeSalto to the floor below! Eagles then looks at Esix, before going to the top rope, setting up for Legacy Invitation, but Sant, who is on the apron, runs and nails a running dropkick on Eagles, nearly sending him off the turnbuckle. He manages to barely hang on, and Sant gets on the ropes, grabbing Eagles, trying for a gut-wrench, but Eagles shoves him off. Sant falls off, and Esix grabs him, locking in a quick sleeper, but Eagles quickly jumps off, and nails Esix with a clothesline after Sant manages to go down! Eagles then grabs Sant, and hits some shots on him, the exhaustion shown on his face.
Eagles Irish Whips Sant, who ducks a clothesline and hits a sliding kick on DeSalto, which prevents him from getting back in the ring. Sant turns, but gets dropkicked out of the ring! Eagles smiles, getting a bit of praise from the crowd, before turning, seeing Esix getting up. He grabs Esix, and nails him with a quick snap suplex, before grabbing Esix…who uses his quick reflexes to mount Eagles, and begins to slam him with a few hard shots, busting Eagles nose open! Esix stands up, but gets blasted from behind by DeSalto! DeSalto lifts him up, but Esix fires some shots, and the two begin to trade blows. Esix wins the brawl, and Irish Whips DeSalto, but DeSalto counters and nails Esix with a double underhook backbreaker! DeSalto makes the pin…
1…
2…
Kickout by Esix!
Keith Oswalt: First near fall of the match! The obvious exhaustion is being seen in this match-up, as everyone in this match-up has already wrestled tonight. It’s a game of endurance. Who can survive the longest?
Eric Witz: Being that Eagles is gushing like a water fountain, might want to count him out for now…
Keith Oswalt: I wouldn’t count out the former Valiant Champion for even a second!
DeSalto stands up, and grabs Esix, locking him in position for the Chastity Buster…but Sant springboards off the ropes, hitting a leg drop against both men, knocking them into the turnbuckle! The crowd goes wild as Sant stands up. He lifts up DeSalto, and nails him with a Gut-wrench backbreaker, but Eagles runs in the ring, and nails Sant with a lungbower immediately afterwards! He wipes some blood from his nose, before grabbing DeSalto, and lifting up Sant as well. He brings both over to the turnbuckle, and goes up on the ropes, holding both of their twisted arms, before leaping off and nailing both with kicks, in a modified Ancient History! The crowd is very pleased with his innovation, but as he stands up, Esix runs forward, and as Eagles turns around, he gets Norris’d, sending him right down! Esix now stands among a group of bodies, and he looks over, selecting Eagles as his target. He gets down, and locks in a guillotine choke, allowing Eagles own blood to choke him, Esix follows it up with some hard shots to Eagles side, but Eagles fights out of it, elbowing Esix in the face himself. Esix lifts him up, and the two men begin to trade shots. Esix wins, and runs off the ropes, but is with a Codebreaker! Eagles then goes to lock in the Walls of Joshico, but DeSalto quickly hits him with a stiff neckbreaker!
DeSalto stands up, but receives a clothesline from Sant. Esix stands up, but gets the same, as Sant begins to gain a huge amount of momentum. Sant Irish Whips DeSalto, and nails him with a huge superkick off the momentum. Sant then starts to lock in the Call of Justice (Elevated Texas Cloverleaf), but Esix gets up, and nails Sant with a huge running knee! Sant doubles over in pain, and Esix nails him with the Superman Elbow (Running/Jumping Elbow Strike)! Esix falls on Sant for a pin…
1…
2…
3-Eagles breaks it up!
Eagles lifts up Esix, but Esix pushes him away, and then charges, but Eagles ducks and sends Esix on the apron. He swings at Eagles, but DeSalto, who is on the outside, the grabs Esix, and drags him down off the apron. Eagles gets back in the ring, and quickly jumps on Sant, locking in the Walls of Joshico! Sant yells out, the ropes nowhere in sight, before lifting up his hand…but DeSalto comes flying off the ropes, landing right on Sant’s neck with an elbow drop! Sant is knocked out apparently, and Eagles drops the hold, before beginning to hit groggy punches on DeSalto, although the blood loss is clearly getting to him. He lifts up DeSalto, and nails him with a quick DDT! Eagles is about to go for a cover, but Esix then comes over, and drags him out of the ring! Eagles stumbles, but gets nailed with a shot right to the temple, knocking Eagles down. Esix rolls into the ring, and grabs DeSalto, who breaks the hold and nails him with a suplex, followed by another two…and then a t-bone suplex! DeSalto smiles, and then goes for the Womanizer, but Esix struggles out of it, and nails a knee to DeSalto’s stomach, followed by knee shots right to his head!
Keith Oswalt: Esix Cordero is trying to finish this one off! He’s already looked to have knocked out Josh Eagles, and is trying to knock out DeSalto!
Eric Witz: But…but…then who will pleasure the ladies…and you, Keith?
DeSalto is nearly out, but he pushes Esix away finally, right into a grab by Sant, who nails Esix with the Path for Truth (Shiranui)! Sant makes a cover…
1…
2…
3-DeSalto barely breaks up the pin! DeSalto then lifts up Sant, and nails him with the Womanizer! DeSalto seems pleased, and is about to make a pin, but Eagles comes up behind him, and nails him with a bulldog right into the bodies of Sant and Esix! Eagles then looks, and all three men are lying on one another. He takes to the top rope, and stands up, before jumping…nailing the Legacy Invitation on all three men!!!
Keith Oswalt: Oh my GOD! What a move by Josh Eagles!
Eric Witz: Somebody wants to win this one. Perhaps I shouldn’t have discounted him earlier…
Eagles rolls over DeSalto, and pins him….
1…
2…
Esix barely manages to break it up!
The crowd is amazed, as all four men are down. Esix and Eagles get up, and begin to barely trade shots, back and forth, both men wanting to win it. Eagles wins this brawl, and Irish Whips Esix, who counters and goes for a roundhouse kick, but Eagles grabs him, and tries to lock in the Impact Asylum, but Esix jumps forward and nails Eagles with a mount, followed by several elbow shots, opening up his bloody nose even more! Eagles appears nearly knocked out, and Esix kicks him out of the ring, before turning around. DeSalto is trying to stand up, but Esix grabs him, and locks in the Muerte! DeSalto doesn’t move…and Chris Owens signals the knockout!
Ike Rose: Here is your winner, with a time of 19 minutes and 44 seconds, and the third place finisher in the Pride Cup Championship…Esix Cordero!
Keith Oswalt: What a hard fought match-up. These four really gave it their all, but Esix managed a tough win here. Can’t wait for the Main Event!
Eric Witz: And it’s next!
Esix smiles to himself as the scene fades out.

”New Wu” by The Raekwon, Method Man and Ghostface Killah begins to play as many of the fans in the attendance begin to make the sounds of the background chorus, chanting with the song, “Neewww Wwwuuuu!” Some fans begin to also boo as the song comes on and there, through the crowds begins to climb out Dru Tha Merc, sitting in a seat and looking at his watch, realizing that he’s on the clock.
Tell a friend, it's that symbol again, that W,
Coming through, bust a shot on your block, give me a suu.
Get it right, all my chicks hold ya tits, let's get it in,
All my niggas take a toke off this weed, let it begin.
Here we go, yo, ya'll already know what it do,
Brand new, nigga, back from the slums, it be the Wu.
Now throw ya W's up, back from the slums, it be the Wu.
Dru Tha Merc strolls through the crowd, cracking his knuckles and taking a grasp of his hat, pulling it off his head as he looks around, stealing a drink from some random person, drinking it empty and tossing the cup, filled with ice at some random person. He pulls himself over the guard rail and outside of the ring, looking around as he swats his hat against his thigh a few times.
Ike Rose: The following contest is scheduled for one fall with a sixty minute time limit and is for the Pride Cup Championship! Introducing first, making his way to the ring, from Tampa Bay, Florida, weighing in at 297 pounds, Dru Tha Merc!
You know how to dress a lad, get rocked, hundred bags, black du-rags
Ski masks is on, g-rags.
Nigga try to take pictures, relax, still in the grass.
You'll learn respect, burst when I ask,
Rhyme master busy, Rizzy on the subject.
Love Deck, thug buried, drug vest, snub sets, killing the most,
Night time toast, gorillas in boats, three boats.
Realers is killa, gangsta feel notes,
Hibernation yo, switch up, liver nation, fly information.
Vivid vacation, deliberation moments,
Move like '91 Romans, cloning everything,
Gents only, the rent's on the stove, I'm in Rome.
Dru slides into the ring, the big brawler slapping his chest twice and pointing to the fans, motioning his fingers like a gun. He takes his hat and tosses it, Frisbee style to the fans before he cracks his neck twice, and gets ready for his match, the ref eyeing him suspiciously before patting him down. The ref pulls a black tire iron from the back of Dru's belt, and wags a finger at him. Dru shrugs, his face conveying that he could care less and waits for the bell to ring.
Tell a friend, it's that symbol again, that W,
Coming through, bust a shot on your block, give me a suu.
Get it right, all my chicks hold ya tits, let's get it in,
All my niggas take a toke off this weed, let it begin.
Here we go, yo, ya'll already know what it do,
Brand new, nigga, back from the slums, it be the Wu.
Now throw ya W's up, back from the slums, it be the Wu.
The heavy riff intro of "Shake your Blood" by Probot hits the speakers as the crowd rocket in unison to their feet. Up in arms, the loyal "brothers and sisters" of gearhead sensation Eddie Nash boom their support as the man himself walks out of the curtain dressed in full leathers. Eddie grins as his adoring fans roar with delight, making Eddie's ego almost as big as Lemmie's moles. He saunters down the ramp high-fiving the fans while focusing his entire attention on the ring as Lemmie's lyrics kick in. He slides into the ring and bounces to his feet, throwing a fist in the air as he does this causing a synonymous "FUCK YEAH!" to erupt from the fans. Again Eddie throws up a fist as he slips out of his jacket and awaits his opponent's challenge with the music now starting to die down.
Ike Rose: And his opponent, from Knoxville, Tennessee, weighing in at 245 pounds, Eddie Nash!
Eric Witz: I’m sure this match is going to be an incredible main event, and I’m personally taking Eddie Nash to win the match. He’s one of my favorite’s and I won’t turn my back on him now.
Keith Oswalt: I’m going to back the lesser of two evils this time and take Dru Tha Merc, at least he knows that he’s a criminal and doesn’t pretend to be something he’s not.
Eric Witz: Why do you have to be like that? These men have both worked incredibly hard and turned their lives around, the fact that they’re fighting for the Pride Cup tonight is proof of just that! I, for one, think this will be an incredible match.
As Ike Rose exit’s the ring, the referee checks both men, ensuring that they hold no weapons. After doing this, he signals for the bell to ring and the match starts with both men looking at each other. They both finally walk to the center of the ring and instead of engaging in the traditional collar and elbow tie up, Dru Tha Merc goes to take a swing at Eddie Nash. Landing the harsh shot, Eddie Nash doesn’t take kindly to this and fires back with a shot of his own, punching Dru Tha Merc in the face. Getting into each other’s faces, the two of them yell at one another, and finally Dru pushes Eddie back, which only serves to irritate Eddie who rushes towards Dru Tha Merc and punches him harshly in the stomach. Now pulling Dru closely, Eddie hit’s a few knees to Dru’s face before clubbing Dru’s back and forcing him to the mat.
After having done this, Eddie pulls Dru back up, only to whip Dru off to the ropes and hit a spinning elbow on him. Stumbling back after being hit with the move, Dru holds the ropes before getting back to his feet. Not letting up on Dru however, Eddie pulls Dru to the mat and hits him with an arm drag and from the arm drag, Eddie puts Dru into an armbar, trying to work over Dru’s arm. Holding tightly onto the submission move, Eddie tries to pull Dru’s arm out of socket, but despite this, Dru Tha Merc begins to get up to his feet. Trying to keep Dru grounded, Eddie Nash releases his armbar and whips Dru off to the ropes. Hitting the ropes and bouncing back, Eddie Nash goes for a polish hammer on Dru, but instead of being able to hit this, Dru ducks under and again bounces off the ropes. From the ropes Dru Tha Merc knocks Eddie Nash to the mat with a brutal boot to Nash’s head.
Grinning after hitting this move, Dru Tha Merc stands over Nash and grabs him by the head, pulling him back up to his feet. Once on his feet, Dru Tha Merc lifts Eddie Nash back to his feet. Swinging wildly at Eddie Nash, Dru Tha Merc lands a big shot to Eddie’s head and after this Dru throws Eddie off to the ropes. Hitting the ropes and bouncing back, Dru Tha Merc catches Eddie and spins him around before dropping him down with a sidewalk slam. Following the move, Dru goes for a cover on Eddie,
1...
Kick out!
Keith Oswalt: Come on Dru Tha Merc, put him away!
Eric Witz: I don’t think the match is going to end that easy. It’s certainly going to be a hell of a match.
Keith Oswalt: Maybe if you say that one more time, I’ll finally realize you think this is going to be a good match.
Kicking out early to show he still has plenty of energy, Eddie Nash pushes Dru Tha Merc off of him. Getting back to a standing position, Dru Tha Merc lifts Eddie Nash up and from here Dru lifts Eddie up off of his feet and holds him above his head in position for a body slam. Holding Eddie Nash to show off his strength, Dru finally drops Eddie and allows him to crash to the mat, hitting him with the slam. Holding his back after falling the seven feet to the mat, Eddie Nash fights back up to his feet, but despite this Dru Tha Merc again grabs Eddie Nash and pulls him up into a gorilla press. Holding Nash above his head, Dru Tha Merc finally drops Eddie Nash to the mat, again letting gravity damage Eddie Nash. Following this drop, Dru again covers Eddie,

Kick out!
Again Eddie Nash kicks out. Starting to have some frustration’s build, Dru Tha Merc lifts Eddie Nash up off of his mat and here he knees him in the stomach before putting his arm over Eddie’s head and snapping him back with a vertical suplex. Despite the suplex though, Eddie Nash begins to get back up to his feet. While Eddie gets back up onto his feet, Dru Tha Merc appears to pay no attention as he gets up and runs off the ropes and as soon as Eddie gets up to his feet, Dru levels him with a running big boot, crashing Eddie into the corner.
With Eddie mounted in the corner, Dru throws a big right hand before backing up. Once in the middle of the ring, Dru lets out a big yell before charging forward and jumping, hitting a splash on Eddie! Beginning to fall to the mat after having nearly 300 pounds crash on top of him, Dru catches Eddie and puts his arm around Eddie’s head and drives him face first into the mat with a DDT. After hitting the DDT, Dru Tha Merc mounts himself on top of Eddie and begins to deliver repeated fists to Eddie’s face, much to the referee’s ire. Trying to pull Dru off of Eddie, the referee has no choice but to start at 5 count, trying to get Dru off of Eddie,

Finally Dru Tha Merc stops his striking and begins to argue with the referee. Deciding it’s not worth arguing over, Dru returns his attention to Eddie. Stomping on Eddie, Dru finally pulls Eddie back up to his feet and here Dru again whips Eddie up off to the ropes. Hitting the ropes, Eddie Nash grabs a hold of the ropes, holding them for dear life. Furious that Eddie stopped his momentum, Dru Tha Merc charges at Eddie, going for a lariat, but instead of being able to lariat Eddie over the top rope, Eddie ducks underneath the lariat and instead fires back with a lariat of his own, throwing Dru Tha Merc over the ropes!
Eric Witz: Attaboy Eddie! That’s how you do it!
Keith Oswalt: Eddie Nash attacks Dru from behind, how heroic of him.
Eric Witz: He dodged an attack and hit Dru with a lariat of his own.
Landing on the concrete ground, Dru’s head hits against the apron as he stumbles back and looks back inside the ring. Before he can do anything though, Eddie Nash runs off the ropes and dives through the middle ropes and crashes into Dru Tha Merc, slamming Dru back first against the steel barricade! Wasting no time on his attack, Eddie Nash throws a few quick punches on Dru Tha Merc before lifting him up with a back lift and after this he drops Dru over the guard rail! Rolling into the crowd, Dru Tha Merc holds his back as Eddie Nash reaches over the guardrail and lifts the pained Dru up to his feet. After doing this, Eddie Nash puts his arm over Dru’s neck and quickly suplexes him over the guardrail onto the floor!
Letting loose a wicked scream of agony, Dru Tha Merc holds his back again as he sits up. A little more slowly this time, Eddie Nash pulls himself up to his feet, while Dru Tha Merc holds his writhing back. Pulling Dru Tha Merc up, Eddie Nash tosses him into the ring. Holding his head outside of the ring, Eddie Nash throws his elbow down across Nash’s chest, forcing him to roll back into the ring. After doing this, Eddie Nash gets into the ring himself. Next to the ropes, Dru Tha Merc lays while Eddie Nash hit’s the ropes and bounces back at Dru, and from here he hit’s a leg drop on his opponent.
After the leg drop, Eddie Nash pulls himself back up onto his feet and while Dru Tha Merc lays, Nash begins to lay in the Pedal to the Metal (Repeated ground stomping)! Stomping Dru repeatedly, Eddie lays in several of these stomps before he finally reaches down and pulls Dru Tha Merc back to his feet. After this, Eddie whips Dru to the ropes and as Dru hit’s the ropes and bounces back, Eddie Nash, using his momentum against him, lifts Dru up and drives him into the mat with a spinebuster. Following the hit, Eddie goes for a cover,

Dru kicks out!
Hitting the mat after seeing Dru kick out, Eddie Nash pulls himself back up to his feet, wiping the sweat off of his forehead and finally pulling Dru up to his feet as well. Here Eddie knees Dru in the stomach before putting his arm around Dru’s head and then hooking his back leg, Eddie Nash hit’s a fisherman suplex. Bridging into a cover, Eddie Nash goes for a pin,

Kick out!
Keith Oswalt: Two consecutive kick outs by the Gangstar, he’s proving why he deserves to be the winner of the Pride Cup Championship.
Eric Witz: The match isn’t over yet, and as it stands, Eddie Nash is still in total control of the match.
Again hitting the mat, a frustrated Eddie Nash pulls Dru up by the head as he gets to his feet. After getting up onto his feet, Eddie Nash goes to through a huge punch at Dru, however this time Dru ducks underneath the punch and as Eddie turns around, Dru begins to light Eddie up with repeated punches, striking Eddie repeatedly! After hitting these repeated punches, Dru grabs Eddie in close and hits him with a Blizzard suplex, Bridging up and rolling through this, Dru pulls himself and Eddie back to his feet and hits Eddie again with a northern lights suplex! Again though, Dru bridges and rolls through this before getting back up to his feet and from here, Dru hits Eddie with a belly to belly fisherman suplex, completing the Hydra-Plex! After the fisherman suplex, Dru stays bridged and covers Eddie,

Kick out!
Amazed that Eddie was able to kick out, Dru Tha Merc lifts Eddie Nash back up off of the mat and here he grabs Eddie Nash by the throat. Wasting little time with theatrics, Dru Tha Merc lifts Eddie Nash up off of the mat before throwing him down with a huge Bay Area Chokeslam (Chokeslam)! Landing on his back harshly, Eddie Nash lays on the ground as Dru Tha Merc goes for a cover,

3!
No kick out!
Keith Oswalt: That was three! Come on ref, that was a three count!
Eric Witz: Incredible heart shown by Eddie Nash as he kicks out there!
Unable to believe that Eddie kicked out of the Chokeslam, Dru Tha Merc lifts Eddie up off of the mat and kicks him hard in the stomach. After doing this, Dru lifts Eddie up off of the mat in position for a crucifix powerbomb! While Eddie is held here though, he is able to struggle loose and after getting out of this, Dru Tha Merc turns around, only to receive a Shotgun Blues (Surprise Superkick)! Dazed after being hit with the big move, Eddie Nash winds up and delivers a brutal Bronson Rock (Knock Out Haymaker)! After this Eddie raises his hand in the air as Dru Tha Merc falls to the mat. Sizing Dru up, Eddie Nash doesn’t bother going for a cover as he waits for Dru to get up.
Slowly getting up and using the ropes to help him up, Eddie Nash finally sprints from his corner as Dru turns around and he nails the Drop The Hammer on Dru Tha Merc (Spear)! Slamming Dru viciously into the mat, Eddie Nash goes for a cover,
