Anderson: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a Sin City Street Fight and it will be for the WZCW EurAsian Championship!
The crowd cheers as Selena Anderson smiles.
Cohen: Are you excited to get to call a EurAsian Title match Cat?
Connor: It has been a while since I got to call one on Ascension, so I bet will will be fun. Plus I know how excited you get when we get a match where falls count anywhere.
Cohen: You are not wrong my friend.
Anderson: Introducing first, weighing in at 15 stone, he is the WZCW EurAsian Champion, Garth Black!
Black gets a pretty warm reception from the Las Vegas crowd when his music hits, but when he comes out wearing a Las Vegas Golden Knights jersey, the crowd erupts. He has the EurAsian Title around his waist as he makes his way to the ring. He gets inside and stretches on the ropes a bit before he unhooks the title and holds it high as the crowd cheers him.
Cohen: In his career, Garth Black has some big wins in matches such as these. He won his sole World Title in Hell in a Cell, and defeated the current World Champion Xander, at Unscripted, to defend the EurAsian Championship that Black has across his waist. He knew he would be defending his title tonight, but he had no clue it would be like this and he still has no clue who his opponent will be. I don't envy him.
Connor: It certainly isn't an easy situation, but Black is constantly evolving, shedding his old skin and growing. Tonight may be another chapter in the book of Black.
Selena Anderson looks down at her match card.
Anderson: And his opponent...
...from Ise, Mie, Japan weighing 145 pounds, Kagura!
Connor: What a turn of events!
Cohen: You are just excited to root for a woman.
Connor: I'm just excited to see the draw throw something like this out. Kagura goes from losing the World Title to getting a shot at the EurAsian Title in the span of a couple of weeks.
Kagura dances through her rose petals and pays no mind to the boos as she is wearing a form fitting San Jose Sharks shirt, the Golden Knights rivals. She saunters into the ring as a pink spotlight shines on her. She gets into the ring and snarls at Black, who holds his title high.
Cohen: Well I'm not going to ask because I already know who you would pick, but I'm going to go with Black to retain. He picked up a big win at Unscripted in a similar match, and I think he wins tonight and puts puts the gimmick match trend behind him.
Referee Felix Springfield takes the EurAsian Title from Black, who taps it twice before handing it over. Springfield holds the EurAsian high before he hands it to Selena, who takes it to the timekeepers area with her. Felix calls for the bell.
*DING! DING!*
Black and Kagura lock up in the center of the ring. They tussle around and jockey for position and Black backs Kagura into the corner. He starts to break, but realizes there are no breaks in the match. The temporary slip gives Kagura the upper hand and she reverses position and hits a big chop on Black. He grabs his chest in pain, though you have to imagine the thick hockey jersey cushioned some of the blow. Kagura snapmares him out of the corner and grabs a chinlock. Black fights to his feet and falls back into the corner and temporarily breaks the hold. Kagura jumps on his back though and tires to grab the Fourth Dance of Toyouke Omikami, but Garth falls back into the turnbuckle again and starts to ram backward to make sure Kagura doesn't try again. Satisfied he pulls Kagura out and goes to Irish whip her into the opposite turnbuckle but Kagura reverses. Black reverses the reversal and short arms and scoops Kagura in a firemans carry for the Black Out. He readies for the knee but Kagura manages to block and pick his leg on the way down and transition into an ankle lock attempt. Black rolls with it and gets on his back and kicks Kagura away. Kagura charges once Black is on her feet, but Black uses the momentum to toss her with a judo throw. Kagura pops up and Black begs her in so she charges again. This time Kagura reverses and throws Black. Black pops up and throws a dropkick, which Kagura dodges. She then throws a high roundhouse kick, which Black drops down to avoid. They then square off again as the fans applaud.
Connor: Very even and eventful start here.
Cohen: It is clear the title means a lot to both competitors. Hot start for sure.
The two lock up again and Kagura slips behind Black and runs him into the ropes and rolls up Black...One!....Two!...Black kicks out but Kagura grabs a school boy at the first opportunity...One!...Two!..Black kicks out and Kagura goes for another roll up but Black knees her square in the face. The crowd "oooohhhs" at the blow and Kagura falls flat. Black thinks about it for a moment, but forgoes the pin attempt as he sees Kagura stir just a bit. He grabs her then drops her back down with a Russian leg sweep. He then hits the ropes and connects with a leaping elbow drop. Then he makes the cover...One!...Two!...Kagura kicks out and rolls to the ropes to make sure Black doesn't grab her in any sort of transitional hold. Black simply grabs her legs and lifts her and drops her to the mat. She smacks her knee on the mat and grimaces, but uses the ropes to get up. Black immediately whips her into the corner. He makes his way over and chops her across the chest, her form fitting shirt not offering the padding Black's jersey did. He then climbs to the second turnbuckle and punches away as the crown counts along...
One!...Two!...Three!...Four!...
Cohen: Five!...Six!...
Connor: What the hell Jack?
Cohen: It's infectious.
....Nine!...Ten!
Black hops down and kicks Kagura in the midsection before hitting a monkey flip. The 12 Step Program! Kagura's momentum carries her across the ring to the far turnbuckle. Black sees this and readies for Getting On The Wagon. He and goes for the corner body avalanche, but Kagura slips out. Black connects chest first with the turnbuckle. Kagura grabs a school boy but she and Black roll all the way through and she connects with a stiff kick to Black. He falls back, folded on his knees. She shakes herself out a little bit and then grabs a trapezius claw on Black. She uses it to drag him to his feet. She pushes him back into the ropes and forces him back down. He counters by pulling Kagura through the ropes and to the floor. He is rotating his arm to try to get feeling back in it as Kagura is on her knees by the ring. Black runs and launches himself through the ropes with a suicide dive. Kagura catches him with a chair to the head though, dropping him. She makes a cover on the outside and the referee hurries to get out of the ring to count the pin...One!...Two!....Black just barely gets a shoulder up in time.
Connor: I think we would have had a new champ there if the ref was in a proper position.
Cohen: We very well could have. The time it took him to get into position might have been three.
Kagura shouts at the Felix in Japanese and shoves him out of the way. She goes to the timekeeper's area and grabs the title. She holds it high and Wraps it around her waist as if she won as she keeps shouting. She tosses the belt back at Selena Anderson and goes over to Black. Her time away gave him time to recover though and he connects with the edge of the chair to the midsection. He then connects with chair shot to the back, his opponent recoiling upward in pain. Garth connects with an uppercut, of the non European variety, and then tosses her into the barricade and then tosses her into the ring back first. He grabs the chair and winds up for a shot, but Kagura falls to the ground to avoid it. Black hits the ropes with the chair and it pops him in the face. Kagura then sweeps Black's legs and he falls face first into the steel steps, with the chair in between. It makes a loud and unpleasant ringing. Kagura is starting to feel the impact of the match and stretches out and and tries to relieve some pain by shaking her limbs. Once finished, she reaches under the ring and grabs a kendo stick.
Connor: Why do we keep those under the ring?
Cohen: No clue.
She cracks the stick across the back of Black, who screams out. She brings it down across his back a second, third, and fourth time. His back already starting to show the signs of the attack. Kagura finds the chair and lays it out and then smacks Black one more time with the stick. She then grabs the champ and plants with him a saito suplex onto the chair. She makes the cover...One!...Two!...Kick out by the champ. She pushes her opponent away in anger and then rummages under the ring. She grabs a cookie sheet....
Connor: Or those?
Cohen: Maybe someone plans on baking cookies after the show?
...but Black smacks her in the face with the kendo stick. She recoils, dropping the cookie sheet. Black smacks the stick against the steps a few times and then starts to tee off on Kagura. She rolls into the ring to escape the assault and Black follows, but Kagura is quick to slide out the other side. Black throws the stick at her to throw her off balance before he connects with a baseball slide to knock her back. She stumbles up the ramp where Black runs and bulldogs her into the ramp. The champ then grabs her and pulls her to her feet, and she tries to fight back with punches to his midsection. Black hoists her onto his shoulders, despite her resistance and the fans anticipate Black Out. Kagura connects with knees though, and manages to slip out. She stumbles up to the stage and Black grabs her and tries again. Again more knees and she slips out the back. Black whirls around to grab her yet again, but Kagura connects with a two fisted heart punch! Fifth Dance of Amaterasu Omikami!
Cohen: Dance of the whatever or something!
Black was too close to the edge of the stage though and falls before Kagura can catch him. She falls to her knees, distraught.
Connor: There is a great chance that the match would have been over had Black just fallen in the correct position.
Kagura slams her fists into the stage a couple of times before she yells out and climbs off the stage to find Black. She looks for him, noticing he fell into a padded equipment crate, softening the impact of the fall. He is still not completely unharmed from the blow and the fall, so she has to use considerable effort to drag him out of the crate. She gets him out and she tries to connect with a suplex of some sort, but Black fights back. They trade punches back and forth until they are back on the ramp. They fight back up toward the stage, to the entrance area. Kagura is getting the upper hand but lets her emotion get the best of her and wings a wild punch. Black ducks and grabs her in a rear waistlock and goes for a German suplex. Kagura flips out of it and lands on her feet. Black slips trying to regain his footing and ends up on a knee. Kagura slaps her knee, the sign she is looking for her shining wizard, First Dance of Awarawa no Mikoto. She runs, but Black grabs the structure above him and pulls himself up in an impressive display. Kagura crashes knee first into the tron's steel and falls back, clutching her feet. Black takes a moment to catch his breath and sees the giant WZCW logo above the entry curtain. He looks to the top of it, and then back down to Kagura.
Connor: He isn't.
Cohen: He is! Go Garth go!
Black begins to scale the logo as the crowd cheers him on. He looks down one last time and leaps, The Come Down! The fans go wild as he does, but Kagura moves out of the way! Black crashes into the stage, falling through. Felix Springfield grabs the side of his head, shocked. Kagura drags Black onto the stage, cutting his back on the steel in the process and she beckons the ref over. He hesitates but gets into slides into position as best he can...One!....Two!...Three! Kagura slams her fists onto the ramp, but this time in elation instead of frustration. Springfield sprints over to the timekeeper's area as Kagura gets to her feet, slowly. She falls back into the same section of the tron she ran into just minutes earlier as Mr. Springfield hands her her newly won title.
Anderson: Here is your winner, and the NEW, WZCW EurAsian Champion, Kagura!
Cohen: I'm still in shock. I have no idea what to say.
Medical personnel arrive on stage to check on Black as you can hear Cat stammering, at a loss for words as Kagura holds the title high while using the tron to support herself.
