Posted by NPW on 9/3/2003, 9:54 pm MASTERS: Looks like Megaera is about to attempt a high risk maneuver here, this could make or break the match for her. CROWLEY: Shaki must really be feeling the effects of that blast to the back of the head from Meg, because he's gettin' up REALLY slowly. [Megaera breathes a sigh from the top rope as Shirakawa still struggles to get up. She rolls her eyes as he finally gets to his feet and.....] MASTERS: Flare is up on the apron! CROWLEY: Uh oh! Could be trouble for Catwoman on crack! [Megaera doesn't notice Flare until he runs over and gives her a hearty slap on the backside. Megaera becomes enraged at this and turns her focus to Flare. Suddenly, Shirakawa finds a burst of energy and runs up the turnbuckles that Megaera is perched on. Shaki quickly jumps up and wraps his legs around Megaera's neck for an attempted top rope hurricanrana....... ......but......] MASTERS: HOLY MACKINAW! [Flare, still on the apron, seizes the opportunity and pushes Megaera AND Shirakawa off the ropes and to the outside of the ring! The commentators all scramble as Megaera goes through the Japanese announce table and Shirakawa goes through the English one!] [BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!] [Flare throws his hands up in desparation, screaming out "DO I WHAT HAVE PLEASE PEOPLE YOU!". Flare climbs the turnbuckle and puts his hands in the air in another attempt for Japanese adoration, but no dice. Flare slumps his shoulder, obviously dejected as he climbs off the turnbuckles and heads towards the rubble where Shirakawa and Megaera both lie motionless. Flare looks back and forth between them, as if deciding which one to roll back into the ring and cover. Masters, Mace, and Crowley all scramble to find chairs and their headsets. Flare attempts one more time for a cheer as he raises his hands, and again....] [BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!] [Flare scratches the back of his head, but eventually shrugs it off, going after Shirakawa. Dan Bash yells for Flare to get back in the ring, but Flare holds up his index finger as if to say 'just a minute'. Flare picks up Shaki and whips him shoulder first into the ring post with a sickening smack. This brings more boos from the crowd, but Flare ignores them as he goes after Megaera. He picks her up and rolls her into the ring.] MASTERS: Hello? Hello? Am I back on? Can you guys hear me? CROWLEY: Unfortunately. MACE: All systems go! MASTERS: The action tonight is crazy! Shirakawa and Megaera both just took some nasty falls there! I hope they're OK after that! CROWLEY: Who cares? Megaera broke our damn table! [Flare starts putting the boots to the fallen Megaera on the mat in the ring. He picks her up by her hair and plants her with a vicious DDT.] MASTERS: This could be it, Megaera seems to be out of it. Flare with the cover.... ONE..... MASTERS: Megaera kicks out! CROWLEY: I dunno how much longer she's gonna be able to keep doing that, though. She's just a chick, she can't last TOO much longer. MACE: Whatever, Meany Head! GIRL POWER! CROWLEY: You can cheer for her all you want, but I'm sure that if she ever talked to you, she'd end up b###h slapping the make up right off your face. [Flare picks Megaera up and grabs her leg, putting it over his shoulder. He dumps her over his head with a leg capture suplex, shaking the ring.] MASTERS: What impact on that one! He calls it the Heatscore! This should be it! Flare again with a cover! ONE..... CROWLEY: That's it, new TV champ! MASTERS: No, no, Megaera had her foot on the rope! Flare thinks he's won, but Dan Bash is letting him know that this match is NOT over! Flare is running a frustrateed hand through his hair, what is it gonna take to put Megaera away? [Flare waits for Megaera to get back to her feet, sizing her up.] MASTERS: This looks like he's setting up for that superkick of his which he calls the Firebolt! CROWLEY: But what he doesn't see is Shaki on the outside of the ring! And he's got Flare's stepladder! [Indeed, Shirikawa is setting up Flare's eight foot tall step ladder on the outside of the ring, but Flare doesn't even notice as he waits for Megaera, who is slowly getting to her feet. Flare pats his leg, signaling for the Firebolt. Megaera stands all the way up, trying to rid her head of cobwebs by shaking it. Flare takes a hop back before exploding into Megaera's face with a well placed superkick.] MASTERS: Firebolt! Flare could be the new Television champion! The cover! TWO..... [RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!] MASTERS: HOLY MACKINAW! SHIRIKAWA HAS JUST BROKEN UP THE PIN! LET'S SEE THAT ONE MORE TIME! [A replay is shown from a different camera of Shirikawa climbing the step ladder on the outside of the ring as Flare pats his leg for the Firebolt. As Flare connects and covers, Shrikawa jumps from the top of the step ladder, springboards off the top rope, and lands a leg drop across the back of Flare's neck to break up the pin.] MASTERS: These competitors are pushing themselves to the limit out there tonight, and it's all for one thing.....the National Pro Wrestling Television title! CROWLEY: Whoever walks out of this one tonight is probably deserving of it, but I know that I wouldn't wanna bust my ass like this every night to defend it. Sure it's a leap into the big time, but I hope that whoever wins is really, TRULY ready to pay the price of what it takes to be the Television champion. [Shirakawa picks Flare up by the hair and throws rapid, stiff kicks about Flare's upper body and head. Flare puts his hands up to defend until he is knocked into a corner, where he instinctively turns into the turnbuckles. As soon as Flare turns his back, Shirakawa throws a vicious roundhouse kick to the back of Flare's head. Shaki picks Flare up and sits him facing the crowd. Shaki climbs up behind Flare and wraps his arm around his neck from behind. Flashbulbs throughout the arena go off as.....] MASTERS: SHIRAKAWA HITS A REVERSE DRAGON SUPLEX FROM THE TOP ROPE! THIS SHOULD BE IT! HE MAKES THE COVER! WE'RE GONNA HAVE A NEW TELEVISION CHAMPION! ONE..... TWO..... CROWLEY: She probably just saw her title reign flash before her eyes. MACE: No, I think that was just people taking pictures. [SLAP!] MACE: Owwie! Uncle Kenny! CROWLEY: Ariel.....please.....just no..... [Megaera is obviously getting winded as she lands a couple of weak punches to the side of Shirakawa's head. They have little affect.] CROWLEY: You're gonna have to come better than that, sweetie! Maybe you should bust out that 720 Phoenix DDT or something, because if you don't, this one is gonna belong to the Japs! MASTERS: Flare isn't moving in the middle of the ring, and Megaera doesn't look to have much fight left in her. This one is Shirakawa's for the taking! [Shirakawa waves his hands up and down, attempting to get the crowd behind him, and it works wonderfully. But as soon as he puts his hands up, Megaera finds a burst of energy and connects with a jumping knee to Shirakawa's temple.] MASTERS: Either Megaera was playing possum, or her intestinal fortitude just decided to kick in there. Shirakawa looks to be out of it as Megaera goes up to the top rope. CROWLEY: Uh oh. Here it comes! [Megaera waits perched on the ropes, and as soon as Shirakawa stands up to face her.....] MASTERS: HOLY MACKINAW! 720 PHOENIX DDT! MEGAERA CONNECTS WITH THAT BEAUTIFULLY DEVASTATING MOVE! THIS SHOULD BE OVER! CROWLEY: Yeah, but where's Flare? [Instead of covering, Megaera stands up and turns around just in time to see Flare's foot come close to her face with another Firebolt.....CLOSE. Megaera quickly side steps and goes behind Flare, rolling him up in a school boy roll up for the pin.] ONE..... MASTERS: Megaera takes it! All three of these competitors came down and gave it their all tonight, and it was Megaera who walked away with the victory and the gold! [Megaera quickly exits the ring, grabbing her title and making her way back to the locker room area. Flare is dumbfounded in the ring, tugging at his orange hair in frustration. Shirakawa is still knocked out from the 720 Phoenix DDT.] MASTERS: What an incredible match! Let's see that 720 Phoenix DDT one more time! [An instant replay is shown of Megaera executing the 720 Phoenix DDT.]
64.231.207.63
[With cat-like agility, Megaera springs up to the top rope. Flare rolls out of the ring, clutching his crotch area, as Shirakawa slowly climbs to his feet. Megaera sits perched atop the turnbuckle, waiting for Shirakawa to stand.]
