From last week
Heather Thompson- From San Diego, California…Weighing in at 245 Pounds…Steel Angel!
Rick- Steel Angel took care of business last week…kinda…
Matt- well he earned the victory that’s for sure…however after the match things got a bit…weird…
A clip from last week’s show begins to roll
---------------------------------------------
Last Week: Battle Grounds XXXVI
Steel Angel Irish whips Masque to the ring ropes while Steel Angel runs to the ropes on the other side of the ring. Steel Angel then jumps off the second rope, executing a phoenix splash motion. Meanwhile, Masque hits the ropes on the other side of the ring and comes running back towards Steel Angel. Steel Angel grabs Masque's head and drives Masque down to the canvas with a complete shot
Rick- Skyward Breakdown!
Matt- Game over!
Steel Angel quickly hooks Masque’s legs as the ref counts
-1-
-2-
-3-
The ref calls for the bell
[Ding, Ding, Ding!]
Heather Thompson- Here is your winner…Steel Angel!
Steel Angel gets to his feet as he nods his head and holds his clenched fists up into the air
Rick- Alright…I’ll admit it…that was definitely a hard fought victory for Steel…
Matt- Steel Angel has been kicking around for awhile now and his veteran instinct was just too much for Masque to handle
Steel Angel walks over and climbs up the nearest turnbuckle and raises his clenched fists up in victory. Suddenly the lights go out and red strobe lights begin to flash throughout the arena
Rick- Now what?
Matt- Look in the ring!!
In the ring, Masque slowly sits up, a demonic smile etched into his features. Masque gets to his feet and walks over to where Steel Angel is standing, still facing the crowd. Steel Angel slowly turns around and sees Masque walking towards him. Steel Angel leaps off the turnbuckle, looking to connect a cross body block
Rick- Steel trying to take the offense here!
Matt- I don’t know about this…
Masque catches Steel Angel and holds him up for a second. Masque then shifts Steel Angel so that Steel Angel is in the tombstone piledriver position. Masque then powers Steel Angel down to the canvas with a tombstone piledriver. Steel Angel’s entire body goes rag doll
Rick- What a sick piledriver!
Matt- Did you see Steel’s body just go limp?!
The red strobe lights suddenly vanish, plunging the entire arena into darkness. When the lights come back on, Masque is nowhere to be seen. Steel Angel, however, is lying motionless in the center of the ring. The camera zooms in on Steel Angel’s motionless body
---------------------------------------------
As I watched the clip from my match last week against Masque, I rubbed my neck and titled it from side to side. Even though I wasn’t hurt too much from that tombstone piledriver, it still knocked me out for a good few minutes. I couldn’t contain the anger that showed on my face as the image of Masque laying me out cold in the middle of that ring flashed again and again in my mind. I then turned my attention to the ring, only slightly turning away when I heard Chad's music playing and watching his awkward ass walk around the ring with his briefcase on his side as he heads to the commentator table and puts on a headset. I ignored him and smiled as the lovely Ashley moves in and signals for the bell to ring. I move out of my corner and met Serai face to face, I resisted the urge to reach in and kiss her and instead locked up with her, I just smirk as I leaned slightly forward and with a little push, forced her down to one knee.
I then kneed her in the gut and positioned her for a DDT, but she reacted quickly and tripped me to the matt. I underestimated her which was a big mistake on my part but I reacted quickly when she attempted to lock on the sharpshooter. I decided to play around with her some more and charged in with a lariat, knowing that she would duck from it I jumped from the 2nd rope and sailed right over Serai's head with a grace that could put a tear in Jason Hawk's eye
. I hooked her head and with a wink to the camera, drove her to the matt with a reverse DDT and covered her. Ashley wasted no time as she went for a fast count, which caused me to glance at her while she put on her innocent smile. I smiled back and waited for her to get up, hoping to have some more fun when suddenly I heard the familiar sound of a gong as the lights went red. I looked around as I knew this means Masque is here and is likely trying to sneak attack me. Turns out it was all a trick meant to distract me as Serai came up from behind and chop blocked me then followed with a reverse head kick that left my slightly dazed, Serai should have gotten at least a two count from me but of course Ashley was slow to count and I easily got out at one. Serai then folded me up in a bow and arrow move and now after regaining my senses, I tried to block out the pain as I struggled for a way to break out of this move. However Serai's attention on Ashley would provide a easy solution as she let go to deal with the reff. I could feel the pain on my back and I took a breather before running to the 2nd rope as fast as I could and with a leap I kicked Serai right in the face hitting her so hard that she fell on the floor nearly out cold. It was a mistake to have rushed my body like that as the pain from the submission move forced me down the matt to recover. Ashley was already laid out of the floor outside and we soon have another reff slide in and start counting us out. I used the 10 count to my advantage as I allowed my back to heal up a bit before I pulled myself up using the ropes. I decided that play time is over and laid her out with a heel kick, then picked her up and brought her back down with a powerbomb facebuster. Then with my back fully healed, I took her out with the Skyward Breakdown to seal the win.
I then blacked out after the match and by the time I came to, my head hurt like hell and so did my neck. I was told that Chad Mason attacked me with the briefcase shortly after my match and then Masque came out to pick up the pieces. If I wasn’t already angry enough at Masque, now it seems I've got another target in my sights: Chad Mason. I should have seen this coming, ever since he won that briefcase he's been acting like he is on top of the world.
Well shortly afterwards I called Chad and Masque out and challenged Chad to put his briefcase up for grabs at Spring Fling. He would attack me once again only this time I came prepared, using my hands to shield myself as he bashed the briefcase on my head. The medics gave me a bag of ice which I placed on my head; thankfully I didn't suffer any permanent damage to my skull like no fractures or concussions. The only thing I got right now is a massive headache and a sore neck. These two idiots don't seem to know what they are dealing with, their attempts to remove me from action so I could miss the PPV is laughable.
The only thing they accomplished was making me that much more determined to destroy them both, which is what exactly will happen at Spring Fling.
Location: Springfield
Date: March 19th, 2012.
Time: Unknown.
It was time for me to pay Claira and the whole village of Springfield a visit; I haven't been there since that incident with Father Terrence. From the looks of it, the people are now much happier and more active than before, from a distance it seemed that the church has undergone some redecoration since I last saw it. I was heading that way until a familiar voice caught my attention.
???: Uncle Yuko!I knew that voice from anywhere, it's Alexander and he seemed really happy to see me again. Actually the moment I stepped into town, everyone seemed very happy to see me. I kneel down and opened my arms as Alexander embraced me with a hug, the crowd seem to gather around and I could hear them saying stuff like "Is that him?" and "Our hero has returned." and what not. I was taken aback by this, hero? Since when? Then I remembered my last visit here when I had that evil persona inside my mind. We traveled here to reconcile with Claira so that my dark side could effectively use her when the time came, we also caught Father Terrence in the act of stealing people's crops and selling them off to pay a debt only for him to tuck tail and attempt to make a break for it. I exposed him to the crowd and they got their stuff back while Terrence was thrown in jail. I recalled hearing the news that I was proclaimed a "Hero" because of what I did. I put Alexander down and took note of my new admirers, some of whom bowed their heads before me.
Villager: Kind sir, we could not thank you enough for what you did for us. Many of our families were starving and no one could have ever suspected that our very own Father Terrence could be behind this immoral act.
I had to admit I was really shocked as well, I mean what was Terrence think he is, the Sheriff of Nottingham?
Yuko Shemamora: I know.........so what happened to the church?Villager: Oh we've had some people from a nearby cathedral move in to take over the church. Among them is Terrence's old mentor.
Yuko Shemamora: Mentor?Villager: Why yes, Joshua Michael. The pope of the Saint Jones's church.
I think I've heard of that place, used to be one of the oldest and most well known churches in downtown San Diego.
Yuko Shemamora: So why did he move here?Villager: Well he heard the news of what occurred and left his old church in the care of another pope who is an old friend of his. He took some of his priests and moved here to clean up the mess that Terrence made. Needless to say he was greatly disappointed in his former student.
I can imagine, after what Terrence did I would be amazed if they welcomed him back with open arms. Fat chance of that ever happening.
Yuko Shemamora: I would like to see this.......pope guy, is he around?Villager: Why yes, just head straight down to the church and present yourself. He's actually eager to meet you.
Yuko Shemamora: I'm sure he is.The villagers move aside and let me through while I walked towards the church, they really changed the look, giving it a more Catholic like appearance as oppose to the old style Christian look that it once had before it burned to the ground. On the way there I could hear Alexander's voice while I was walking, I almost forgotten that he was there with me.
Alexander: I've haven't seen you in a long time mister, what have you been doing that made you be gone for so long?Yuko Shemamora: It's called being busy kiddo; I've been working and doing other stuff.Alexander: What do you do?Yuko Shemamora: Sports.Alexander: Sports?Yuko Shemamora: You should get out more.We entered through the large double doors as I took a look at the inside, paintings of religious markings on the ceiling, arch windows with colorful designs on them. The place was really different, the altar has changed, the room design has changed. I mean wow they really did a wonderful job on this place, it looks better than ever before. At the center stood a middle age man in white robes with designs that tell me he's a high ranking person. This must be the pope that the villagers were talking about. He smiled and greeted me as I bowed my head to him, my face showing nothing.
The Pope: Greetings young one, you must be Yuko Shemamora.Yuko Shemamora: That I am.Pope Joshua: I've heard much about you, I'm Joshua Michael the pope of Springfield church. I've just moved here from Saint Jones Church to undo some of the trouble caused by the original owner of this place.Yuko Shemamora: Your Holiness, I do apologize greatly for whatever mistreat I may have inflicted upon your pupil Terrence.Pope Joshua: Mistreatment? Nonsense my boy, you did a noble thing for these poor people. Why if I had a son I would hope that he would be like you.I smiled a bit; he seemed like a very gentle person, unlike Father Terrence who always seemed stern but understanding.
Yuko Shemamora: If I may ask, does Claira still work here as a teacher?Pope Joshua: You know Claira?Yuko Shemamora: We do.....it's a long story.Pope Joshua: I understand, yes though she was devastated upon discovering Terrence's actions, she remains a teacher to this church. She has a strong will that girl.Yuko Shemamora: Indeed she does, is she here right now? I like to speak with her if that is no trouble.Pope Joshua: Not at all, however I regret to inform you that she is not here; she requested to take the day off. You may find her at her house I would believe.Typical, well at least Alex will be with me when I go over there so that she won’t try and seduce me like she did before. I nodded to the pope and turned to leave.
Yuko Shemamora: I thank you.Pope Joshua: You're always welcomed here Yuko, if you have any problems you wish to talk about, I'm always here to lend an ear.I just left the place with Alexander walking close to my side, I could see Claira's house near the far end of the town and entered through the front gate. I hesitated before knocking on the door, unsure of myself, just like I was when I last came here.
Alexander: Why are we stopping?Yuko Shemamora: Uhhh.....Before I could say anything, Alexander opens the door and motions me to come in.
Alexander: Come on in!Yuko Shemamora: But.......He then grabs my hand and pulls me inside, I closed the door behind me as I looked around, my heart was beating 90 miles an hour. This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind when I came here.
Claira: Who is it? Alexander: It’s me mom, someone here wants to meet you.Claira: Alex? What is going on?Just hearing her voice made my heart leap to my throat, my mind came saying "What am I gonna do, what am I gonna say?"
Just then I heard a loud gasp as I looked to see Claira in her casual clothes, her soft hands trying to cover the shock that registers on her face. Our eyes locked on as time seem to stand completely still and the room just fades into nothing. It's like we're the only ones here in this dark place as we just stared at each other not even saying a word. After what seemed like forever I finally break the silence and everything just went back to normal.
Yuko Shemamora: Hello......Claira.END OF PART 1
*The Shoot*Dunknoooo yo man I'mma fighting Tha Baddest muthfucker on tha Planet, James Shark yo shits propaa.
Ughh yeah I'm sure you've gotten the point; to be honest I'm really looking forward to this fight. After hearing your black ass jaw jacking to the press, popping your gums saying how you knocked out Corey Casey and then defeated Sho No Mercy by knocking his ex girlfriend Sno Bunny, I think it's time someone took you down a peg or two.
Now I know what you’re thinking:
Steelio saying he's gonna take ma down a peg? Nigga you crazy man.
No Shark, if anyone is crazy it's you. You’re crazy for leaving Upper Limit cus you think you’re too hard for them white boiis which begs the question as to why you joined up with them in the first place.
Yeah your the IWF Heavyweight champion. A two time champ to be more accurate.
But how did you win that belt twice?
First time you defeated this guy
who at the time was injured and thus unable to fend for himself.
Second time you won that belt, you had two other guys beat up a rookie roid junkie who was stabbed in the back by his partner and like the rabid dogs you were, you just picked up the scraps on the floor like it was your last meal.
You just can't seem to win anything on your own can you Shark? Then you brag about how you knocked out Corey Casey?
Umm right who defeated you at From the Ashes for the title?
Corey Casey
Who defeated you in a steel cage match one week before the ppv?
Corey Casey
And who defeated you just two weeks ago and who you knocked out with a sucker punch?
Corey fucking Casey.
Yeah I'll admit I lost to Corey twice, once in a no DQ match and in the Double Cage Horror match.
But I don't see you going in there and fight Corey in his own match; you say his record in that match is nothing? Why don't you go in there and fight him then eh Sharky?
That's right you choose not to because you’re a pussy, you are soft man.
Just like you were soft when I had you give me that information about Serai.
Just like you were soft when your idea of being "dominate" involves you knocking out a defenseless diva.
You don’t hear me brag about my win over Serai, actually I was quite ashamed of it.
Now this? This is a win that I can be very proud of.
Because I get to knock off the champion and send a big message to both Chad and Masque.
And that message is this: I'm gonna take the briefcase, and break you while I'm doing it.
I hope you pay close attention to this Chad and Masque.
This is what you'll be dealing with at Spring Fling.
And I got a Final Judgment with both of your names on it.
