Alexis theme music begins to play as the former Women’s Champion walks out to the ramp also receiving cheers from the crowd as she heads to the ring.

Alexis enters the ring as she & Candy get face to face as Referee Bob Spano calls for the bell.

Ben Little: An interesting start to this Women’s title match, wouldn’t you say, Owen?

Owen Nelson: I’d have to agree, Ben.

Alexis goes bouncing off the ropes as Candy gets back to her feet realizing that she might be in trouble Candy quickly uses her head and manages to snap off a last second head scissors sending Knight out to the floor leaving the crowd in awe of what they’ve just seen. As a replay of the head scissors is shown we see Candy launch herself over the top rope at Alexis who avoids contact by backing up a few steps as Candy crashes and burns

Owen Nelson: Well that’s why they call it high risk right, Ben?

Alexis picks up Candy and throws her against the guard rail back first before sending her back into the ring. Alexis climbs up to the top rope andswaits as Candy gets to her feet slowly turning around towards the corner where Alexis is perched waiting on her. Alexis takes her chance leaping off the top rope for a cross body but Candy avoids the contact dropping to the mat as Alexis goes soaring over her head before crashing hard to the mat herself

Ben Little: This just shows how much these divas want that title here tonight.

Candy crawls towards Alexis’ limp body rolling her over and making the cover 1..2.. Alexis kicks out. Candy looks at the referee in shock before getting to her feet as she looks to be setting up for the Pushpop Swirl

Owen Nelson: If she hits this it could be all over.

Alexis staggers to her feet as Candy continues to lay in wait for her chance. Finally having turned around Candy kicks Alexis in the gut and sets her up for the Pushpop Swirl but Alexis counters mid move grabbing Candy’s legs out from under her before bridging into a pin of her own 1..2.. Candy kicks out

Ben Little: Nice counter to the Pushpop Swirl and it almost got her the win.

Alexis gets to her feet as does Candy both divas looking for that edge sensing that the end is near. Alexis charges at Candy who catches her in the act with an STO that plants her hard onto the mat. Candy then grabs Alexis and drags her towards a corner as she climbs to the top rope looking to end the match

Owen Nelson: This could go one of two ways. Good or bad, and I’m betting on bad.

Candy takes a moment to pause before leaping off the top rope for a shooting star press but she misses as Alexis rolls out of harms way causing Candy to meet the mat face first

Owen Nelson: Candy went for the high risk and came up with nothing to show for it.

The crowd is mixed as the Alexis fans are cheering on Alexis. The former Women’s Champion then goes for the cover over Candy Caine, as Bob Spano makes the count. ....1.....2.....Candy Caine gets her shoulder up.

Candy Caine is holding her back as Alexis yet again goes for the cover over the down Candy Caine once again. Referee Bob Spano makes the count, .....1.....2.....Candy Caine yet again gets her shoulder up before the three count.

Ben Little: I think it's going to take more than that to keep the former two-time Women’s Champion down for the three.

Owen Nelson: I must agree with you.

Alexis shakes her head and applies a headlock. She quickly tightens the hold as Candy Caine tries to struggle out of the move.

Owen Nelson: Alexis with a headlock.

Alexis tightens the lock as Candy begins to slowly fade. As she still tries to get out of the move, Alexis continues to keep the pressure on. The referee now begins to check if Candy is still in this match as he raises her arm high in the air for the first. As he leaves it go, Candy's arm drops to the canvas. Spano counts "ONE". The referee lifts the arm for the second time as Alexis tightens for the last time. The ref leaves go the arm and it drops again. "TWO".

He leaves it go, but Candy keeps her arm in the air. This is when Candy Caine begins to struggle her way back to her feet, as a resilient Alexis Knight keeps the headlock locked in.

Ben Little: Candy Caine is still in this match and I think that is just not what Alexis wanted.

With the headlock still locked in, Candy Caine brings one arm around the waist line of Alexis and lifts her up into a Belly-To-Back situation. Instead of dropping Alexis to the canvas, the former two-time Women’s Champ tosses her straight to the outside. Alexis Knight crashes to the outside of the ring right into the protected barricade.

“Carnival of Sin” by Motley Crue blasts out over the speakers and around the arena as Montego steps out onto the stage to a mixed reaction but mostly boos. Montego looks surprised at the less than positive reaction and gets an angry look upon his face.

“Big” Ben Little – I cannot believe these Texas hicks, they are booing their hometown hero tonight.

Owen Nelson – Maybe they have a reason too Ben, maybe they are sick and tired of Montego trying to end careers.

Montego glares at the fans before storming down to the ring but before he can get to the ring the fans cheer as Montego stops to signal ‘it’s about damn time’ thinking they are cheering for him. Suddenly he gets a double chop block by Preston Jacks and Sam Wilde.

Owen Nelson – The fans were cheering for Version 2, not for Montego like he thought.

“Big” Ben Little – Hey, talk about cheap shots, attacking a man from behind, real manly.

Wilde and Jacks begins stomping on The Monster who is now on one knee having raised from the floor. Montego pushes Wilde off and then Jacks. Both of Version 2 look at each other before running at Montego and delivering a double dropkick to the face of the kneeling Montego who goes rolling down the rest of the ramp towards the ringside area. Version 2 follows staying on the much bigger Montego. The Monster begins getting to his feet again as Version 2 runs at Montego but Montego leaps up and double clotheslines Version 2 off their feet.

Owen Nelson – Man, what a double clothesline by Montego.

“Big” Ben Little – Version 2 need some miracle to survive tonight.

Montego pulls Sam Wilde up and picks him above his head and drops him sternum first onto the barricade wall. Preston Jacks meanwhile gets up and clubs Montego in the back. But Montego just turns around and stalks Jacks. Jacks tries to punch Montego but the shots are having a little effect. Montego then catches a 4th punch from Preston Jacks and just scoops him up and body slams him hard onto the ramp.

Owen Nelson – Montego is just dominating here so far.

“Big” Ben Little – Of course he is Owen, he isn’t called The Monster for nothing.

Montego turns around toe see Sam Wilde on his feet so Montego walks up to him clubs him in the back before dragging him to the ring and tosses him under the ropes and into the ring. Montego them slides into the ring after Wilde but as he does Preston Jacks grabs the foot of Montego who tries to get Jacks off as the referee calls for the bell.

DING! DING!

Owen Nelson – We are officially underway, finally.

As Jacks holds Montego’s foot Sam Wilde runs the ropes and comes back with a baseball slide to Montego’s face. Preston then slides in and leaps onto the second turnbuckle and jumps off with a guillotine leg drop onto the back of the head of Montego. Sam Wilde then turns The Monster over and covers him as the referee gets down to count.1… Montego kicks out sending Sam Wilde almost to the other side of the ring.

Owen Nelson – Good lord, what authority, Sam Wilde almost went crashing through the ropes with that huge power kick out by Montego

“Big” Ben Little – I told you, Montego is unbeatable and Version 2 are going to find that out the hard way.

Montego gets to his feet as Version 2 both look on shocked. But both Preston and Sam run at Montego and attack him with punches but Montego just swats them away. Both Preston Jacks and Sam Wilde then run the ropes and come back and hit a double clothesline on Montego barely moving The Monster. Preston and Sam run the ropes again and come back with a double flying shoulder block but it still only rocks Montego. The duo finally run the ropes a 3rd time but as they come back Montego powers forwards and hits a shoulder block knocking both members of Version 2 off their feet.

Owen Nelson – That was like running into a truck.

“Big” Ben Little – If I was Version 2 I’d up and leave Houston while they still can.

Montego then runs the ropes and goes to hit a big splash on Jacks and Wilde who are motionless next to each other. But as Montego comes down both of Version 2 move out of the way. Sam and Preston then see their opportunity and both climb the top rope on opposite corners. They wait for Montego to get to his feet before leaping off and connecting with a double missile dropkick knocking Montego off his feet.

Owen Nelson – That is one way of getting The Monster off his feet.

“Big” Ben Little – It took two guys with a high impact move to do it though, the question is, can they keep The Monster down.

Both of Version 2 cover Montego as the referee counts.1…2… Kick out by Montego.

Owen Nelson – I don’t believe it, Montego kicked out of the pinfall with both of Version 2 laying on top of him.

“Big” Ben Little – I repeat, unbeatable.

Both of Version 2 cannot believe it as they look at the referee in shock. Version 2 then drag the big man to his feet and set him up for a suplex. Both Jacks and Wilde go for it but cannot lift the 312lb’r. After another try they once again cannot lift the big Montego when suddenly Montego reverses it and delivers a suplex to both Sam Wilde and Preston Jacks.

Owen Nelson – No way, Montego just suplexed both of Version 2 together.

“Big” Ben Little – How impressive is Montego, the man is a freak of nature.

Montego gets to his a smiles as he pulls up Preston Jacks and sets him up for a Powerbomb. Montego lifts Jacks up but Jacks fights in the air with punches to the forehead of Montego which has the big man staggering backwards. Sam Wilde is now up and runs the ropes and leaps to dropkick the back of Preston Jacks which finally makes Montego lose his balance as he collapses dropping Preston on top of Montego in a seating position as the referee counts.1…2…kick out but Montego. Both of Version 2 get behind Montego and wait for the much larger Montego to get to his feet, as he does they both lift Montego up and deliver a double back body drop. Sam Wilde covers Montego as the referee counts.

1…2…Montego kicks out again.

Owen Nelson – Version 2 are hitting everything in their arsenal but still Montego keeps getting up.

“Big” Ben Little – I told you, they will have to kill Montego to beat him and even then he would most likely keep on coming.

Sam and Preston wait for Montego to get up once again and as the big man does both of Version 2 attempt to Irish whip Montego into the corner but Montego doesn’t budge. Suddenly Montego yanks both Sam and Preston with such force that they go flying into the opposite turnbuckle. Montego then runs at the cornered team of the former Coca Cola Boys but both men move out of the way as Montego crashes into the turnbuckle sternum first. Both of Version 2 then spin Montego around and drop him with a double DDT. Sam and Preston climb opposite corners again and signal this time for a Bombs Away.

Owen Nelson – Oh, Version 2 maybe going to end it right here.

“Big Ben Little – No way that will happen.

Both of Version 2 leap off the turnbuckle but Montego rolls out of the way as both of the former tag team champions crash land onto the canvas. Montego gets up and stands in the corner preparing for a Monty Kick. Sam Wilde gets up slowly and as Montego lunges for the MONTY KICK but Sam ducks and accidentally knocks out the referee with the move. Montego notices the referee out cold and rolls to the outside. He goes over to Sam Jenkins and shoves him to the floor and picks up the steel chair he was sitting on. Montego then rolls into the ring with the chair.

Owen Nelson – Oh-oh I think Montego has had enough, he is going for a steel chair.

“Big” Ben Little – Take the little pipsqueaks heads off Mont.

Montego then prepares to swing the chair when both Version 2 leap to their feet and double dropkick the chair right back into the face of the Monster who drops the chair and staggers backwards. Preston Jacks then distracts the referee as Sam Wilde picks up the steel chair and swings it WHACK. The chair cracks against the skull of Montego who is still on his feet. Sam Wilde then drops the chair and now goes over to Preston and begins arguing with the referee to distract him. Preston Jacks then leaves the distracting scene and picks the now dented steel chair up and swings it WHACK the chair again connects to Montego’s skull but The Monster is still standing.

Owen Nelson – I cannot believe after two vile chair shots Montego is still on his feet.

“Big” Ben Little – He is a monster, what do you expect Owen.

Suddenly PAIGE WILDE runs down to the ring with a steel chair. The sister of Sam Wilde places the new chair on the ring apron and then Paige gets onto the apron as the referee goes over to her. As Paige distracts the official Sam Picks up the new chair and as Preston still has hold of the old chair both of Version 2 runs at Montego and dive with a double chair shot to Montego knocking the big man off his feet. Both of Version 2 slide the chairs out of the ring and climb opposite turnbuckles. The signal for it and then leap off connecting with the double BOMBS AWAY onto Montego, Sam Wilde and Preston Jacks cover Montego as Paige steps off the apron and the referee goes over to count the pin.

1…2…THREE!

DING! DING!

Owen Nelson – Version 2 have done it, they have beaten the odds.

“Big” Ben Little – I don’t believe it, Montego was screwed

Sam Jenkins – The winner of the match, Preston Jacks, Sam Wilde, Version 2

Sam Jenkins – The next contest is scheduled for one fall and it is for the Intercontinental Championship. Introducing first the challenger, weighing in at 255lbs, from London, England, “The Icon” Gladiator.

My Way by Limp Bizkit plays through the arena as the fans begin to stand on their feet cheering as Gladiator steps out onto the stage with a bottle of water and smirks before heading down the ramp towards the ring. Gladiator takes a drink of his water before tossing the bottle away and he reaches the ring. “The Icon” climbs the steel steps and steps through the ropes before raising his arms in the air.

Owen Nelson – An excellent ovation for “The Icon”.

“Big” Ben Little – I used to respect this man, now, now he is best friends with Jason Blade and he is sucking up to these humanoid fans.

Owen Nelson – I wouldn’t call them best friends but they do have mutual respect for each other.

“Big” Ben Little – Whatever.

The music fades and suddenly The End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage plays and out steps Kyve Hart with the Intercontinental Championship belt around his waist smiling arrogantly as the fans boo like crazy.

Sam Jenkins – And the opponent, weighing in at 224lbs, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada, he is the Intercontinental Champion, “The 5-Star Superstar” Kyve Hart.

Kyve makes his way down the ramp smirking and shaking his head in disgust at all the Texan fans. Kyve looks up and sees Gladiator who hasn’t taken his eyes off the IC Champion once. Kyve takes off the IC Championship and steps up the ring steps and slow steps through the ropes. Gladiator steps back allowing Kyve into the ring. Kyve kisses his Intercontinental Championship before handing it to the referee Stanley Harrison who hands it to the timekeeper. The music fades away and the referee calls for the bell.

DING! DING!

Owen Nelson – We get this Intercontinental Championship match underway finally.

“Big” Ben Little – Kyve will retain, he is a Hart, both Hart’s will still have their titles in the end.

Kyve and Gladiator slowly walk to the middle of the ring and get eye to eye. Kyve smirks before spitting in the face of Gladiator. Gladiator looks away and Kyve laughs at his actions.

Owen Nelson – That is disgusting, talk about no respect and no class.

“Big” Ben Little – A little saliva never hurt anyone.

Gladiator then looks at a laughing Kyve and slaps him so hard Kyve falls down and Gladiator immediately gets on him with punches to the face as Kyve tries to cover up. Gladiator pulls Kyve to his feet and Irish whips the IC champion to the ropes. Kyve bounces back right into a back body drop. Gladiator then drives a front elbow into the face of Kyve and goes for the cover as the referee gets down to count.

1…Kyve kicks outs.

Gladiator then pulls Kyve up again and staggers him with a right to the jaw and another and another. Kyve who is leaning against the rope then gets clotheslined over the top as the IC champ crashes onto the ringside floor. Gladiator goes to the outside to continue his assault. He pulls Kyve up and slams his head into the ring apron. Gladiator then Irish whips Kyve to the steel ring steps but Kyve reverses it and Gladiator goes crashing into the ring steps.

Owen Nelson – Kyve Hart may have gotten the break he needs with that reversal.

“Big” Ben Little – Now Kyve will show what he is made of.

Kyve then pulls up Gladiator and slams his head into the ring steps before tossing him back into the ring. Kyve follows and crawls over to cover The Icon as the referee gets down to count.

1…2…Gladiator kicks out.

Kyve then gets up and drops a leg drop across the throat of Gladiator and then does a blatant choke to Gladiator as the referee administers the count.

1…2…3…4…Kyve breaks the hold before the referee gets to 5. The referee tells Kyve about the choking as Kyve says he has 5 to break it.

Owen Nelson – Damn Kyve Hart, that was a blatant choke right in front of the ref.

“Big” Ben Little – As Kyve acknowledged, he has a 5 count to break it.

Kyve then picks Gladiator up and Irish whips The Icon off the ropes. But as Gladiator runs back Kyve lowers his head too early and The Icon delivers a stiff kick to the face of Kyve. Gladiator then bounces off the ropes again but runs right into a Powerslam by Kyve Hart as Kyve covers The Icon.

1…2…kick out by Gladiator.

Kyve then stomps on Gladiator who is hurt. Kyve then pulls Gladiator up and picks him up and drops him across the top rope throat first as Gladiator stumbles backwards Kyve dropkicks The Icon right into the face knocking him down. Kyve then covers Gladiator once again.

1…2…Gladiator rolls his shoulder up. Kyve slams his fist on the floor signaling it was a 3 but the referee says 2.

Owen Nelson – Kyve Hart cannot keep Gladiator down.

“Big” Ben Little – But the IC Champ has him weakened.

Kyve Hart then sits Gladiator up and locks in a naked rear chin lock as the referee gets close to check it isn’t a choke. Kyve yells at Gladiator to give up as the fans try to get behind The Icon.

Kyve Hart tightens the hold as Gladiator begins to fade. The referee raises Gladiator’s arm and it drops down to the mat as the referee signals 1. The referee raises The Icon’s arm a second time and it drops to the mat again as the referee raises his hand for a 2. The referee raises Gladiator’s arm for the 3^rd and final time but ¾ of the way down Gladiator keeps his arm off the mat.

Owen Nelson – Gladiator is still in this thing.

“Big” Ben Little – Damn it, choke the life out of him Kyve.

Gladiator feeds off the crowd as he gets to one knee and then to his feet. He gives an elbow into the mid-section of Kyve, and again and a third time until Kyve breaks the hold. Gladiator then goes to run against the ropes but Kyve Hart grabs the hair of The Icon who crashes down to the canvas.

Owen Nelson – Hey do something ref.

“Big” Ben Little – Serves Gladiator right, he should get an haircut.

The referee begins telling Kyve about the hair pulling but Kyve denies it and then smirks at the referee as the crowd begin to boo. Kyve then waits for Gladiator to stand up signaling it is time for the 5-Star Destroyer. Gladiator gets up and Kyve goes for the 5-Star Destroyer but Gladiator push him off as Kyve bounces off the ropes and runs back into Gladiator who collide banging heads as both men drop to the canvas.

Owen Nelson – Oh what impact, both men ran into each other clashing heads.

“Big” Ben Little – I felt that from here.

The referee begins the 10 count as both men are barely moving.

1…2…3…4…5…6…7…8…both men slowly begin moving.

9…Kyve Hart gets to his feet followed by Gladiator. Kyve swings a fist at The Icon connecting, Gladiator does the same connecting, they continue going back and forth until Gladiator gets the upper hand with lefts and rights to the face of Kyve Hart. Gladiator kicks Kyve Hart in the stomach and drops the IC Champ with a DDT. Gladiator then stands up as the fans cheer like crazy.

Kyve struggles to his feet and Gladiator runs at Kyve for a clothesline but Kyve ducks and Kyve runs at the ropes but as he comes back Kyve gets picked up by Gladiator and gets dropped with a huge spinning Spinebuster.

Owen Nelson – Gladiator has now gained the upper hand, it doesn’t look good for Kyve.

“Big” Ben Little – Come on Kyve.

Kyve then gets to his feet and tries to take a swing at Gladiator but Gladiator ducks and grabs the back of the head of Kyve and drops down for a reverse neck breaker. Gladiator then pulls Kyve up and Irish whips him into the turnbuckle. Gladiator then charges at Kyve Hart but Kyve gets a foot up and Gladiator runs face first into Kyve’s foot. Kyve takes Gladiator down with a double leg pickup and pick’s The Icon’s legs up into the air and covers him. The referee gets down to count but fails to see Kyve sticking his feet onto the middle ropes for extra leverage.

1…2…kick out by Gladiator.

Owen Nelson – Open your eyes ref, Kyve tried to steal one.

“Big” Ben Little – Hey, if the referee doesn’t see it then it isn’t illegal.

Kyve argues with the referee that it was a 3 count. As Kyve is arguing Gladiator sneaks behind him and grabs Kyve’s tights pulling him over into a pin fall still holding the tights.

1…2…kick out by Kyve Hart.

Kyve stands up and Gladiator kicks him in the stomach and gets ready to hit the Union Jack. Suddenly CHRIS HART runs down to the ring and hits a low blow on Gladiator as the referee sees it and calls for the bell.

DING! DING!

Owen Nelson – You have got to be kidding me? Gladiator was set to end it and that little bastard, Chris Hart interfered to save Kyve Hart’s Intercontinental title.

“Big” Ben Little – That is smart Owen, Chris did what any loving family member would do.

Sam Jenkins – The winner of the match due to a disqualification, Gladiator. So therefore since the title cannot change hands by disqualification and thus still the Intercontinental Champion, Kyve Hart.

Jason Blade walks off as the
Scene Fades.

Aric Hart and Jason Blade are face-to-face, eye-to-eye in the middle of the ring, staring each other down.

“Big” Ben Little: You can feel the electricity in the air right now, Owen…

Everyone in the sold-out arena is on their feet, awaiting for the first blow of this historic matchup.

Owen Nelson: This is quite possibly the biggest match of both these legends’ careers…who’s going to make the first move???

In the middle of the stare down, Aric Hart reaches back and SLAP! “The King of Harts” slaps Jason Blade hard across the face.

Crowd: Oohh…

“Big” Ben Little: What a slap! Man!

Jason Blade turns his face back to eye Aric Hart again, and Jason is smiling.

Aric answers this by slapping “The Loose Cannon” a second time, this time even harder!

Another “oohh” from the sold-out audience.

Owen Nelson: Another one! And Jason Blade is actually standing there and taking it!

Jason Blade is laughing, and “The Legendary” Aric Hart, pissed off, reaches back for another slap but this time Jason catches Aric’s hand and then knocks him off his feet with a flooring punch to t he face from his other hand!

Crowd cheers

“Big” Ben Little: What a right hand, and the Champion did not see that one coming.

Aric Hart gets back up and Jason Blade immediately starts hammering away with hard right fists to the face of the Champion.

The crowd is cheering.

Owen Nelson: The action has started, and the challenger is taking it to the Champion.

Jason Blade has Aric Hart backed against the ropes, and “The King of Harts” fights back with a sudden thumb to the eye of his opponent.

Crowd boos

“Big” Ben Little: Very smart.

Aric Hart then runs and knocks Jason Blade to the canvas with a hard clothesline.

Owen Nelson: And now a clothesline. The momentum has already shifted in this match.

Jason Blade gets back up, holding the back of his head in pain, and Aric Hart meets him with a kick to the stomach and he then goes for an early Heart of Harts, but The Blademeister reverses Aric Hart into a back body drop over the top rope and out to the floor at ringside!

Crowd: Oohh!

“Big” Ben Little: Oh, man! Jason Blade just sent the ECFW Heavyweight Champion out to ringside.

Jason Blade steps out to ringside as well.

With the two competitors at ringside, the referee begins the 10-count: …1!…

Out at ringside, Jason Blade throws Aric Hart back-first into the steel ring steps, dislodging them!

Crowd: Oohh!

Owen Nelson: Oh, man. What impact there.

Referee: 2! 3!

Jason Blade brings “The King of Harts” up again and he brings him over to the English announce table and he slams Hart’s face into the table.

4!

“Big” Ben Little: Right in front of us here at our table, the ECFW Champion’s face just bounced off the wood.

Aric Hart is staggering, and Jason Blade starts to clear off the English announce table, the sold-out crowd cheering.

5!

Owen Nelson: The challenger is clearing off our table here at ringside.

Jason Blade turns back around to face his opponent and he gets rake din the face by “The King of Harts.”

Crowd boos

7!

“Big” Ben Little: A rake to the eyes from the ECFW Champion.

Aric Hart then takes a swing for Jason Blade’s face but Jason ducks and goes for a spinning heel kick to the face of the Champion, but hart ducks and Wham! Jason’s right leg nails the medal ring post, and Jason falls over to the floor, yelling out in pain as he clutches his right knee in agony.

8!

Crowd: Oh!

Owen Nelson: Oh, man! Aric Hart ducked and Jason Blade’s leg just nailed that ring post, and hard. His knee could be shattered here, Ben.

Just as the referee is about to yell for 9, Aric Hart rolls under the bottom rope and then back out to ringside, stopping the referee’s 10-count.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart wisely breaks the count.

Aric Hart then kicks Jason Blade in his hurting right knee, and he pulls him up and rolls him back into the ring, then following right after.

Owen Nelson: Aric Hart takes it back into the ring, and he brings Jason Blade, whose leg may be broken, back in with him.

In the ring, Jason Blade staggers up to his feet, limping, and Aric Hart dives and chop locks the right leg right out from underneath “The Loose Cannon!”

Crowd boos

“Big” Ben Little: A chop lock! That won’t help matters for The Blademeister.

Jason Blade is rolling around on the canvas, holding his right knee in pain.

Aric Hart grabs Jason’s now-injured right leg and he holds it up and kicks the inner thigh/hamstring of Blade repeatedly.

Owen Nelson: More assault to the knee of Jason Blade, and I think we know the Champion’s strategy for this ever-important history-making Championship war.

Aric Hart drops his elbow into the leg of Jason Blade, Blade letting out a yell of anguish.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart is in complete control now, Owen.

Aric Hart gets up and once again drops his elbow into the inner leg of his arch nemesis.

Aric does this a third time.

Owen Nelson: Aric Hart is just punishing “The Loose Cannon” here tonight at Extreme Pain 2006.

Aric Hart pulls the one-legged Jason Blade up to his feet, and he lifts him up from behind and drops his shin/knee over Aric’s own knee, giving him the shin breaker.

“Big” Ben Little: That hurts to even watch.

Jason is squirming on the canvas in pain, and Aric lays Jason’s right leg flat and then drops his knee into Jason’s thigh once, twice, three, four times.

Owen Nelson: Jason Blade is in trouble.

Aric Hart turns Jason Blade over onto his stomach, and he picks up Jason’s injured right leg and he throws/slams his knee down hard into the canvas!

“Big” Ben Little: Ouch! If Jason’s knee wasn’t broken before, it sure is now.

Aric Hart does this a second time, and then a third time.

Owen Nelson: Jason Blade needs to get some offense in here, and quick.

Aric Hart pulls Jason Blade up and forces him to walk on his bad leg.

Jason is struggling to walk and Aric laughs as he watches, and then runs and kicks Jason’s knee out from under him, and the challenger is right back down on the mat.

Crowd: ARIC SUCKS! ARIC SUCKS! ARIC SUCKS! ARIC SUCKS! Etc.

“Big” Ben Little: This sold-out crowd here in Houston, Texas is all over the ECFW Champion, but like him or not, he is in complete control of this matchup.

Aric yells at the fans to “shut up!” as he reaches down and picks up Jason Blade’s bad right leg, he steps through, and drops down, locking in the FIGURE 4 LEG LOCL submission hold!

The crowd is on their feet, booing.

Owen Nelson: The Figure 4! Aric Hart has got the Figure 4 applied on Jason Blade, bad knee and all, and it is only a matter of time now.

Jason Blade is screaming and yelling out in pain, as Aric yells at him to “quit!” and “give up!”

Referee Red Hairing is watching closely for a submission.

“Big” Ben Little: If Jason gives up here, Aric goes up 1-0.

Jason Blade is desperately trying to make it to the ropes, but he is too far away.

Red Hairing asks Blade if he wants to give it up, but Jason yells back “no!”

Aric Hart tightens the hold, applying even more pressure to the 7 points in Jason’s legs.

Owen Nelson: How much longer can The Blademeister hang on here???

Jason reaches for the ropes once again, but is still too far away.

Crowd: BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! Etc.

“Big” Ben Little: These people are trying to will “The Loose Cannon” on, but will it be enough?

Aric Hart yells at the referee to “ring the bell!” as he tightens the pressure even more on Blade’s legs.

Jason is gritting his teeth in pain as he tries to pull himself closer to the ropes, but it is not happening,.

Red asks Jason once again if he wants to give it up, and Jason refuses.

Owen Nelson: The first fall is perhaps the most vital…Jason Blade has to try and hang on here to have a chance of leaving Extreme Pain with the ECFW Championship like he did two years ago.

Jason Blade reaches one last time for the ropes, and when he finds that he is still too far away to reach them, he looks as if he may be about to tap out.

The fans are all on their feet.

“Big” Ben Little: I think he’s about to tap, Owen!

But suddenly, Jason Blade uses all he has left to turn his body over and he rolls over onto his stomach, reversing the hold and switching the pressure over onto Aric’s legs!

Crowd cheers

Owen Nelson: Unbelievable! Jason reversed the hold, and now the pressure is on the Champion’s legs!

Aric Hart is screaming in pain as he quickly pulls himself over and grabs onto the bottom rope, and the hold is broken.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart quickly got to the ropes, and now both men are free. The damage has most certainly been done, especially to the challenger, Jason Blade.

A few moments later, Aric Hart is up, walking gingerly on his legs.

Owen Nelson: To no one’s surprise, Aric Hart is the first one up.

“The King of Harts” looks upset/determined, as he pulls the limping Jason Blade back up (Jason barely able to stand on his legs).

Aric Hart whips Jason hard into the corner, and then runs and clotheslines Blade in the corner.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart has “The Loose Cannon” cornered.

In the corner, Aric Hart picks Jason up and sets him up onto the top turnbuckle, and Aric then climbs up himself.

The sold-out audience is on their feet.

Owen Nelson: Aric Hart is taking Jason Blade up to the top rope…

On the top rope, Aric Hart talks some trash in his challenger’s face, and he then stands him up, hooks him up, and executes the SUPERPLEX OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!

Crowd: Ooohhh!

“Big” Ben Little: Now that was some impact! An incredible Superplex by Aric Hart, and that has got to be all she wrote.

It takes him a few seconds, but Aric Hart manages to turn over onto his stomach and drop his arm across Jason Blade’s chest…1…2…Jason Blade just barely gets his shoulder up before the three-count!

Crowd cheers

Owen Nelson: He did it! After all we’ve seen, and the Superplex to top it off, “The Loose Cannon” still manages to kick out at two and a half. The first fall of this Championship main event matchup will continue.

Aric Hart staggers yup to his feet, and he shoves the referee, yelling “that was 3, ref!”

“Big” Ben Little: That was definitely a close call, but still not enough to keep The Blademeister down for three.

Aric Hart flips the referee off, and then turns back and looks down at the barely-moving Jason Blade. Aric looks up at the sold-out audience and says, “time to end this thing.”

Owen Nelson: Aric Hart is going to try and end it right here, right now. The first fall, at least.

Aric Hart drags the near-lifeless, injured “Loose Cannon” back up to his feet, and he kicks him in the gut, and sticks his head in-between his legs, and he smiles as he signals for the end.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart is going to beat Jason Blade right here…

Aric is about to drop Blade with the Heart of Harts, when Blade suddenly pulls Aric in and rolls him up into the small package pin!…1…2…3!

Crowd erupts!

Owen Nelson: Whoa! Yes!

The crowd is going crazy as Jason is back down and not moving again on the mat, and Aric Hart sits up, shocked.

“Big” Ben Little: What the hell just happened?!

Sam Jenkans: THE WINNER OF THE FIRST FALL, JASON BLADE!

Crowd cheers again

Owen Nelson: Amazing! Aric Hart dominates Jason Blade for several minutes, nearly this entire match, and just when it looks like it could be the end for The Blademeister, he sneaks in a quick pin fall and goes up 1-0 in this 2-out-of-3 Falls Matchup.

Aric Hart gets up and he is clearly frustrated, as he kicks the bottom rope and yells in the referee’s face.

“Big” Ben Little: I wouldn’t believe it if I hadn’t of seen it myself.

Aric Hart pulls at his hair in frustration, and he goes back over and bends down to pull Jason Blade back up, but Blade baits Hart in again and rolls him up into another small package pin!…1…2…Aric Hart just barely kicks out in time!

The crowd “Ooohhh”’s in how close the near fall was.

Owen Nelson: Oh, man! Jason Blade just nearly snuck in two back-to-back wins.

Both men jump up to their feet and “The King of Harts” immediately takes Jason Blade down with a stiff clothesline.

Crowd: Oh!

“Big” Ben Little: What a clothesline there by the intense Champion, “The Legendary” Aric Hart.

Aric Hart sits back up and he looks down at Jason Blade with a scowl on his face.

Owen Nelson: The Champion is getting frustrated with “The Loose Cannon.”

Aric Hart stands up and he walks over to the corner (as the referee is checking on Jason Blade in the center of the ring) and in the corner, Aric unties the top turnbuckle pad and pulls it off, exposing the steel bolt underneath.

Crowd boos

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart has exposed the top turnbuckle, unbeknownst to the official. That is solid steel now.

Aric smiles at his work and he walks back over to Jason Blade, who is using the ropes to pull himself up to his feet.

Aric grabs Blade by his head and he runs him over to the corner and tries to slam Jason’s face into the exposed steel turnbuckle, but Jason puts on the brakes and then drops Hart with a Side Russian Legsweep!

Crowd cheers

Owen Nelson: Nice counter by Jason Blade, saving himself from a sure concussion and dropping Aric Hart with a nicely-executed Side Russian Legsweep.

Jason covers Aric Hart…1…2…Aric kicks out!

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart kicks out at two.

A few moments later, both men are back up to their feet, Jason limping noticeably and favoring his right leg/knee.

Jason punches Aric in the face, and Aric retaliates with a hard right of his own to the mouth of The Blademeister.

The two are now exchanging blows to the face.

Jason Blade gets the upper hand and he Irish whips “The King of Harts” into the ropes.

Aric Hart bounces back and ducks an attempted clothesline from Jason Blade, and he takes Blade down from behind with a chop lock to the injured right leg of Blade!

Owen Nelson: Smart move by Aric Hart, going right back to that injured right knee of Jason Blade.

Aric Hart gets back up and he goes out to ringside and grabs his ECFW Championship Title Belt from the timekeeper’s table, and he brings it back into the ring with him.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart’s got his Belt.

In the ring, Jason Blade is struggling up to his feet, and Aric is about to nail Blade in the head with his Gold Belt, but the referee suddenly snatches the illegal weapon from Hart’s hands.

Crowd cheers

Owen Nelson: Damn right. This is NOT a No Disqualification Match.

As the ref has his back turned, getting rid of the Belt, Aric Hart quickly kicks Jason Blade hard below the belt!

Crowd: Oh!

“Big” Ben Little: Oh! The referee didn’t’ see that low blow!

Jason is crouched over, holding his groin in pain.

Aric grabs Blade by his head and runs him over face-first into the exposed steel top turnbuckle (right after this, the referee turns back around to face the action in the ring)!

Crowd: Oh!

Owen Nelson: Face-first into the exposed steel! The referee saw nothing.

Jason Blade is now cut open on his forehead and bleeding profusely, as Aric Hart kicks him in the gut and drops him with the HEART OF HARTS!

The crowd is booing like crazy.

“Big” Ben Little: And now the Heart of Harts on the bloody challenger!

Aric Hart turns the crimson-faced Jason Blade over onto his back and makes the cover, hooking the outer leg…1…2…3!

Crowd boos even louder.

Owen Nelson: Thanks to his cheap tactics, a low blow, and the exposed turnbuckle, Aric Hart has just stolen the second fall.

Sam Jenkans: THE WINNER OF THE SECOND FALL, ARIC HART!

“Big” Ben Little: We are now tied at 1-apiece. The next man to score a fall will leave Houston, Texas the ECFW World Heavyweight Champion.

The crowd is booing loudly as Aric Hart stands up to his feet, smiling arrogantly.

Owen Nelson: What a crock.

Aric struts around the ring, and he taunts the booing audience.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric is acting as if he has already won this match.

Aric Hart finally turns back and looks down at his bloody opponent, who is struggling to make it up to his feet, using the ropes and all.

Owen Nelson: Jason Blade is using everything he’s got to make it back up to his feet.

Jason Blade is up and staggering/stumbling around, limping, and bleeding from the head profusely.

Aric Hart knocks The Blademeister right back to the mat with a hard right fist to the open wound on Blade’s forehead.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart knocks Jason Blade right back down. Jason Blade is in huge trouble here. The next fall wins the match.

Jason Blade staggers up again, and Aric knocks him down again with another hard punch to the face.

Jason gets up again, dazed, and Aric Hart whips him hard into the corner.

Aric Hart then runs at the cornered “Loose Cannon” to attack but Jason gets his foot up and catches the charging Hart in the face!

Crowd cheers

Owen Nelson: Jason Blade got the foot up!

Aric Hart is staggering and Jason Blade runs forward for a clothesline but Aric Hart catches Blade coming with a big-time Spinning SPINEBUSTER Slam!

Crowd: Oohh!

“Big” Ben Little: What a Spinning Spinebuster by the Champion! Just when it looked like Jason Blade was about to make a comeback, “The King of Harts” catches him with one hell of a Spinebuster.

Aric Hart takes a moment to check his face for blood, finding none.

Aric then makes the cover over the bloody Blademeister…1…2…Jason Blade gets his shoulder up just in time!

The crowd “Ooohhh”’s in how close the near fall was.

Owen Nelson: Somehow, someway, “The Loose Cannon” managed to get his shoulder up before the referee’s count of three, and this match will continue.

Aric Hart slams his fist on the mat in frustration.

Aric yells at the referee to “count faster!” as he pulls the bloody Jason Blade back up to his feet, and he knees him hard in the abdomen.

“The King of Harts” then sticks Blade’s bloody head in-between his legs and is setting him up for another Heart of Harts.

The sold-out audience is on their feet.

“Big” Ben Little: If Aric Hart can nail this Heart of Harts, then there is no way in hell Jason Blade could possibly kick out of that.

Aric Hart is about o drop Blade with his finishing move, when Jason Blade suddenly reverses Aric Hart with a double leg pickup, and “The Loose Cannon” then catapults Aric face-first into the exposed steel top turnbuckle!

Crowd: Oohh!

Owen Nelson: Oh! Yes! Aric Hart just went face-first into that exposed top turnbuckle, which Aric himself exposed! There’s still a chance for “The Loose Cannon.”

Both men are down and out on the mat, and Aric Hart is now cut open above his eye as well. Both men are bleeding badly from their foreheads.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart is cut open now as well, and both of these legendary Hall-of-Famers are down.

A few moments later, the now-bloody ECFW Champion rolls under the bottom rope to the ring apron. On the side of the ring, Aric Hart uses the ropes to pull himself up to his feet, dripping blood all over the place.

Meanwhile, in the ring itself, Jason Blade is staggering up to his feet as well.

Owen Nelson: Both men are moving up…

Jason Blade limps over to the side of the ring where Aric Hart is using the top rope to keep his balance, and as soon as Jason walks over to him, Aric grabs Jason with both arms and lifts him up into an OVERHEAD BELLY-TO-BELLY SUPLEX OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUT THROUGH THE ENGLISH ANNOUNCE TABLE AT RINGSIDE!!!

Crowd: OOOHHH!!!

“Big” Ben Little: HOLY SHIT!

Crowd: HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! HOLY SHIT! Etc.

Owen Nelson: That was crazy!

Out at ringside, Owen Nelson and Ben Little are up and standing, with the bloody Jason Blade at their feet, through the annihilated announce table.

Aric Hart is down on the ring apron on the side of the ring, and he rolls back in to the center of the blood-stained squared circle.

The crowd continues, “HOLY SHIT!”

“Big” Ben Little: From the side of the ring, Aric Hart flipped Jason Blade right over his head with an amazing Belly-to-Belly Overhead Suplex, sending Jason Blade right out to our table here at ringside. Unbelievable.

A replay is shown of the incredible move.

Owen Nelson: I think Jason Blade is done after that.

With Aric Hart down in the ring, and Jason Blade down and out in the destroyed table debris at ringside, referee red Hairing starts the 10-count from inside the ring:

…1! 2!

“Big” Ben Little: Jason Blade is out here at our feet at ringside, and he is going to be counted out by referee Red Hairing. Aric Hart is in the ring, and if the ref reaches the count of 10, Aric Hart will retain his Gold here tonight in Houston.

The referee continues his count…3!

In the ring, Aric Hart is using the ropes to pull himself up to his feet.

4!

Owen Nelson: Jason Blade is in big, big trouble here, Ben…

5!

Aric Hart is up, and he now watches from the corner of the ring, encouraging the referee to count faster.

Crowd: BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! Etc.

“Big” Ben Little: I think Aric Hart has done it.

6!

Out at ringside, Jason Blade is starting to show some signs of movement.

Owen Nelson: Jason Blade is moving, but not much.

7!

At ringside, Jason Blade is using the barricade/guardrail to pull himself up to his feet.

8!

Crowd: BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! Etc.

“Big” Ben Little: he’s got less than two seconds to make it to the ring, or he loses.

In the ring, Aric is yelling at the ref to “count faster!”

9!

At ringside, Jason Blade is staggering over to the ring.

The crowd is on their feet.

Owen Nelson: Is he gonna make it???

The referee is about to yell out “10!” but Jason Blade makes it and rolls into the ring just in time!

Crowd erupts!

“Big” Ben Little: No way! He made it! The match continues!

Aric Hart is in shock and he pushes the referee out of the way, and he grabs Jason Blade to attack him but Jason suddenly drops Aric Hart with the BLADE CUTTER!

The crowd erupts once again.

Owen Nelson: Blade Cutter! The Blade Cutter from out of nowhere, and this has got to be it!

“Big” Ben Little: If Blade can make the cover that is.

But both men are down, out, and bloody. Jason Blade is unable to capitalize on the Blade Cutter and make the cover.

Owen Nelson: Jason Blade is too weak to make the cover after that surprise Blade Cutter. Damn shame.

Both men are down.

Crowd: BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! Etc.

“Big” Ben Little: These people here in Houston, Texas are trying to will “The Loose Cannon” on, Owen.

A few moments later, both bloody men start to pull themselves over to the ropes on opposite sides of the ring.

Owen Nelson: They’re both fighting to make it up to their feet.

A few more moments later, on opposite sides of the squared circle, both men are using the ropes to pull themselves up to their feet.

They are dazed, bloody, and can barely stand.

“Big” Ben Little: They’re both up, and they’re both weak and a bloody mess.

Both men stagger to the center of the ring and they meet again, and they slowly exchange blows to the face in pain.

Owen Nelson: These men are so fatigued, you can just tell.

Jason Blade gains the upper hand and he kicks the Champion in his stomach and goes for a second Blade Cutter, but Aric reverses and pushes “The Loose Cannon” into the ropes.

Jason Blade bounces back and Aric Hart goes for a clothesline, but Jason ducks and goes for the Blade Cutter once again, but Aric reverses again and drops Blade with a Reverse DDT from behind!

“Big” Ben Little: What a counter by the Champion, and this could do it right here…

Aric Hart drops his arm across Jason Blade’s chest…1…2…Jason Blade kicks out!

Crowd cheers

Owen Nelson: But it still wasn’t enough.

Aric Hart struggles up to his feet and gets in the ref’s face.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart has done it all and then some to Jason Blade here tonight in this match, but nothing is keeping The Blademeister down tonight at Extreme Pain.

Aric Hart finally yells, “its over!”

Aric turns back around and drags the bloody, near-lifeless Jason Blade back up to his feet, but as he is doing this, Jason suddenly pushes Hart back, kicks him in the gut, and drops him with a devastating DDT!

Crowd cheers

Owen Nelson: Look at that! Jason Blade came out of nowhere with a heavy DDT.

It takes him a second to capitalize on it, but Jason Blade manages to drop down on top of his bloody foe…1…2…Aric Hart gets the shoulder up!

“Big” Ben Little: Oh, it was close, but still not enough.

A few moments later, Jason Blade staggers up to his feet (limping noticeably) and he yells at Aric to “get up!”

Owen Nelson: Jason Blade looks like he wants to end this thing right now.

A few more moments later, Aric Hart is slowly climbing up to his feet.

Jason Blade sticks his middle finger in front of Aric’s eyes, flipping him off, and he then goes for the Blade Cutter but Aric counters and pushes Jason into the ropes.

Jason bounces back into a kick to the mid-section and then is dropped with the HEART OF HARTS BY ARIC HART!!!

Crowd boos

“Big” Ben Little: He countered and hit “The Loose Cannon” with the Heart of Harts! Its over!

Aric Hart covers Jason Blade…1…2…

…Jason Blade barely gets his shoulder up in time!

The crowd “Ooohhh”’s in how close the near fall was.

Owen Nelson: No way! Jason Blade just kicked out of the Heart of Harts, after all we’ve seen so far here tonight! I can’t believe it!

Crowd: BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! BLADE! Etc.

“Big” Ben Little: And the people here in Houston are showing The Blademeister that they appreciate him and his efforts here tonight at the fifth annual ‘Extreme Pain.’

Aric Hart is absolutely shocked as he sits up, wiping blood from his eyes.

Owen Nelson: “The King of Harts” can’t believe it. But I don’t know if anybody can.

Aric Hart stands up to his feet and he grabs the referee by his shirt collar, yelling at him in frustration.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart wanted a 3-count there.

The ref pushes Aric’s hands off of him, and yells “it was 2!” as he holds up two fingers.

Aric Hart is absolutely frustrated as he turns and kicks the bottom rope and yells with anger and frustration.

Owen Nelson: Aric Hart has tried it all, but Jason Blade, somehow, just keeps on getting that shoulder up. Its amazing.

Aric Hart turns back to the official again, and he starts arguing with him.

“Big” Ben Little: Aric Hart better be careful that he doesn’t get disqualified here.

Aric is in Red Hairing’s face, when Hart is suddenly spun around and hit with the BLADE CUTTER BY JASON BLADE!!!

Crowd erupts!

Owen Nelson: The Blade Cutter! Aric Hart took his eye off the ball and paid for it!

It takes him a moment or two to capitalize, but Jason Blade manages to roll over and drop his arm across Aric Hart’s chest, as the crowd counts with the referee…1…2…

…Aric Hart barely kicks out in time!

The crowd “Ooohhh”’s in how close the near fall was.

“Big” Ben Little: Wow! Aric Hart did it! He kicked out of the Blade Cutter!

Jason Blade is too weak to show any kind of emotion, as he and Aric Hart are both down and out on the blood-stained canvas.

The audience is applauding the two warriors.

Owen Nelson: What a match this is. The perfect way to close out the ECFW until its return at Revolution next month on pay-per-view.

Both men are down in puddles of their own blood.

“Big” Ben Little: This may be Aric Hart’s and Jason Blade’s best match together yet. And they’ve had some great ones…

A few moments later, Jason Blade is starting to move up to his feet, but just a couple of seconds after him, Aric Hart is making his way up as well.

Owen Nelson: They’re both moving up to their feet, “The Loose Cannon” in the lead.

Jason Blade is up on his feet, dazed and bloody, and he reaches down to grab Aric Hart (who is on one knee) but Aric suddenly reaches up and low blows The Blademeister (at the angle that the referee was looking at, he could not tell that it was a low blow)!

Crowd boos

“Big” Ben Little: Low blow! And the referee didn’t catch it. That is a very vital move at this point in the match.

With Jason Blade crouched over and clutching his groin in pain, Aric Hart stands up all the way and sticks Blade’s head in-between his legs, setting him up for yet another Heart of Harts.

The sold-out crowd is on their feet, booing.

Owen Nelson: Thanks to that illegal low blow, Aric Hart is about to hit Jason Blade with another Heart of Harts.

As Aric is about to drop Blade with his famous finishing maneuver, Jason Blade suddenly reverses the bloody “King of Harts” into a double leg pickup, and Jason Blade then turns Aric Hart over into the HIGHLIGHTER submission hold!

Crowd erupts!

“Big” Ben Little: Oh! Oh my God! Jason Blade countered Aric Hart into The Highlighter!

The crowd is on their feet, going crazy.

Owen Nelson: Jason Blade has got to be the most resilient wrestler I have ever seen!

Aric Hart is screaming in pain as blood rushes down his face.

Jason Blade is gritting his teeth as he applies the pressure on the lower back of the ECFW World Heavyweight Champion.

Aric Hart desperately reaches for the ropes, but can’t get to them.

“Big” Ben Little: Don’t tap, Aric!

Referee Red Hairing asks Aric if he wants to give it up, and Hart reluctantly yells back “no!” as he yells again in agony, blood all over the place.

Jason Blade yells at Aric to “quit!”

Owen Nelson: The Championship is in big, big jeopardy here for the defending Champion.

Everyone in the sold-out audience is standing.

“Big” Ben Little: You can feel the anticipation and excitement and electricity in the Compaq Center right now.

Aric Hart is almost crying in pain as he reaches again for the ropes, but still can’t reach them.

Jason Blade leans back even more, applying even more pressure to the Champion’s lower back.

The referee is watching closely for the submission.

Crowd: TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! TAP! Etc.

Owen Nelson: These people want Aric Hart to tap out, and they may very well get their wish.

Its becoming obvious that Aric Hart doesn’t have much left, as he tries to pull himself closer to the ropes but Jason Blade stops him by applying even more pressure to his back.

Aric reaches one last time for the ropes, but its not gonna happen.

We get a close-up shot of Aric Hart’s bloody face as he lets out another cry of pain.

“Big” Ben Little: How long could any man hang on?

Jason Blade tightens the hold again, and Aric Hart finally taps out!

Owen Nelson: He did it! Its over!

Sam Jenkans: Here is your winner and NEW ECFW Champion, Jason Blade!
