DEFIANCE Uncut 45
29 Oct 2018
DEFarena, New Orleans, LA (seats 4000)
SHOW OPEN
The screen fades up from black ...
Energetic music begins to to fade up ...
A white streak of electricity shoots acorss the screen backed by a red glow.
It's accompanied by an electrical sounding sizzle sound effect.
The 3D block letters of UNCUT appear but the angle obstructs a legible reading of the word at first sight.
The red lined white streak shoots past the word as it continues to rotate and the background music swells.
As the letters tip upright and begin to reveal the five red letters back with a slight white glow, the white streaks flys behind the letters and wraps around the word angleing down as the drum beat hits and the theme is at full tilt only to aburptly end at the final presentation of the logo and a downnote.
The logo fades and on a black screen, words in white appear one at a time.
THIS.
IS.
UNCUT.
I HAVE BECOME THE FIST
The stunning blonde hair of Kelly Evans is seen shining in the lights of the backstage as she is making her way to her office. She waves high to one of her assistants before reaching for the knob to turn when she notices a package on the floor in front of it addressed to her. Kelly reaches down and picks up the large package and turns it over and doesn’t see a return address as she opens the door to her office and walks inside. Once inside, she moves over towards her oak desk and produces a letter opener to slice open the package and reaches inside the harmless paper and pulls out a portable DVD player that has a note on it that reads, “PLAY ME!” Kelly raises a single brow as she places the player on her desk and opens it up and presses the play button as the message had instructed.
The sound of static is heard followed by the heavy breathing of someone that is out of focus takes a few steps back and as the image comes into focus we see the Stevens Dynasty with Scott front and center flanked by Bo on his right and George on his left and the patriarch of the family in the background. The Stevens Dynasty doesn’t look to thrilled about what transpired to their celebration, or lack thereof. Scott breaks his silence and cousin Bo seems to mouth every word his cousin says in repetition as George stands there looking menacing.
Scott Stevens:
You truly do hate me, don’t you Kelly?
Stevens asks in a somber tone.
Scott Stevens:
I mean what have I done to you to get on your bad side?
Stevens asks with a shrug.
Scott Stevens:
Please inform me because I’m confused as to what I have done to warrant such a punishment where I have to defend MY FIST of DEFIANCE Championship against that piece of trash Oscar Burns?
Stevens asks as he hits the faceplate of the championship.
Scott Stevens:
I mean is it because I’m not a “DEFIANCE Original?”
Stevens asks as he uses air quotes before continuing.
Scott Stevens:
Is it because I came from UTAH? Is it because I don’t kiss your ass when you walk in the door because I like speaking my mind and rather be an individual than the mindless sheep that you have under your employment?
Stevens asks as he grabs the camera and yells into it.
Scott Stevens:
WHY DO YOU HATE ME!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Cary grabs his son by the shoulder and Scott nods as he lets out a sigh and begins to regain his composure.
Scott Stevens:
Kelly, you can either get on board the Stevens Gravy Train or get the hell out of the way because the fact is no matter which one of your pawns you put in front of me they’ll all suffer the same fate as the others before. I thought you were a smart business woman but clearly you’re one of those that used her…..ASSets to get where she is. If you asked the Wizard for a brain instead of tits and an ass you would realize that the smart thing to do is to back your champion instead of trying to go to war with him.
Stevens states as he takes a long look at the championship draped across his shoulder.
Scott Stevens:
This championship means everything to me. It symbolizes why I am the best wrestler not only in DEFIANCE but in the entire world, and why wouldn’t you want to be on board with that?
Stevens says as he turns from looking at THE FIST of DEFIANCE back towards the camera.
Scott Stevens:
I’m sure if you weren’t getting sandwiched by Oscar and his two Friends on a regular basis you would realize that giving him this rematch is bad for business. I mean outside of the Big Easy (Stevens winks) and New Orleans and possibly Oceania who the fuck knows who Oscar Burns is?
Stevens asks with a shrug and Bo and his father tell him no one.
Scott Stevens:
While my name is known all across the world. It doesn’t matter where you ago the Stevens name is known just like the gentlemen you see before you because we are established and we are the distinguished, and when it comes to the top prize in your company only people of that same quality should be in the same ring with me!
Stevens says as he points to himself.
Scott Stevens:
Eric Dane. Eugene Dewey. Bronson Box. Cayle and Andy Murray. Scott Douglas. Mushi. Crimson Lord. And the names go on and on.
Stevens takes a short pause before continuing.
Scott Stevens:
Those are the names of established men. Oscar Burns may be a former FIST of DEFIANCE champion but he beat a broken down Cayle Murray who wasn’t the same after he faced me. A blind squirrel gets lucky and finds a nut from time to time to. Besides, why would you put all your money on a high risk bet like Oscar when he has NEVER beaten me?!?
Stevens asks as he looks around and Bo and Cary both shrug.
Scott Stevens:
I mean if you took the Aussie’s dick out of your mouth long enough even the stupidest person, like yourself, would realize that I am not only the safe bet, but the ONLY bet. You probably took Conor McGregor to beat Floyd Mayweather and Khabib Nurmagomedov didn’t you?
Stevens shakes his head in disgust.
Scott Stevens:
All that coke you’ve been snorting with Jon Jones has messed up the one brain cell you had left but apparently you like losers and Oscar Burns will remain that when he faces me once more!
Stevens shouts as he thrusts down with his fist and it cracks a cinder block in two. The Stevens Dynasty looks in awe as Scott raises his FIST to the camera with blood slowly trickling down the side.
Scott Stevens:
Cockroaches like Burns and his Friends will be exterminated because I. Am……
Stevens looks at his bloody fist.
Scott Stevens:
THE. FIST OF DEFIANCE.
The video ends and the dvd player goes to static as Kelly Evans leans back in her chair with an annoyed look on her face.
Kelly Evans:
...What an asshole.
She casually discards the DVD Player and its contents into an empty trash bin as the scene fades.
LEVI COLE VS. THEO BAYLOR
DDK:
Well, coming up next on our UNCUT Exclusive match, we’ve got a grudge match with huge stakes for both men! Both Levi Cole and Theo Baylor have been considered two of the biggest and brightest young talent within BRAZEN. They’ve exchanged singles victories on DEFtv, but tonight is not only a rubber match… but the winner will go on to face BRAZEN Champion Reinhardt Hoffman at DEFCON.
Angus:
Theo’s got rage problems for days, but is incredibly strong and could very well rip Hoffman in half. Meanwhile, Cole made it all the way to the end of the BRAZEN Championship tournament, only to fall to Hoffman. Opie wants that title bad and a win here will do that .
DDK:
That’s right, and tonight, it’s for everything. Theo Baylor and Levi Cole here on UNCUT. The winner will earn the next BRAZEN Championship match against Reinhardt Hoffman. And with that said… we now go to Darren Quimbey.
The camera does pan over to good old DQ himself for introductions.
DQ:
The following contest is a #1 Contender’s Match for the BRAZEN Championship! And this match is set for one fall!
♫ “Purple Lamborghini” by Rick Ross and Skrillex ♫
The thundering theme plays and out comes Theo Baylor, the angry Los Angeles native comes out from the back and looks ready to put a shellacking on somebody. Right behind him is his manager, “Brother” Lucius Owens looking awfully smug.
Angus:
He’s going to BEAT a #1 Contendership out of Levi Cole.
DDK:
And from what we understand, all parties are banned from ringside. That means Levi Cole can’t have Thugs 4 Hire while the rest of No Justice, No Peace has to sit back and watch. Lucius Owens is allowed as a manager, but that’s it.
Theo Baylor wastes no time climbing into the ring and scans the jeering crowd. He pays them no mind while he turns and waits for his opponent to arrive.
♫ “Born In The U.S.A.” by Bruce Springsteen ♫
Darren Quimbey:
And his opponent… from Omaha, Nebraska, weighing in at 265 pounds… he is ”AMERICAN MADE” LEVI COLE!
Angus:
My hat’s off to this kid, Keebs. I give Opie crap because he’s such a nice guy. He’s come so close to greatness and he’s taken steps a little further and a little further. Now he’s won win away from having the chance to do it.
The massive, corn-fed young grappler bursts from backstage with all the power and forward momentum of a freight engine. He and his star spangled singlet and wrestling headgear are down the ramp and rolling under the ring before we can blink.
DDK:
Despite NJNP winning over Cole and Thugs 4 Hire at the PPV, nothing was settled personally between Cole and Baylor where this all started, so tonight, this comes to an end.
Cole doesn’t NOT offer his hand to many stars, but after the repeated attacks by Baylor, any good sportsmanship is out the window for tonight. The two men are itching for a fight as BRAZEN Referee Charlie Montgomery calls for the bell.
DING DING DING!
DDK:
THEO ON THE ATTACK!
Right out of the gate, Theo swarms right over Cole with some powerful right hands doubling him over before burying him in the corner and then assaulting him with a series of powerful Shoulder Thrusts to the gut in the corner. The crowd jeers Theo already and a big “USA!” chant gets going for the Star Spangled Superstar.
Montgomery tells him to get out of the corner, but Theo Baylor immediately turns and screams.
Theo Baylor:
GET THE FUCK OUT MY FACE!
The big LA native turns around to continue pummeling Cole, but American Made has different plans when he catches Theo with a big Forearm Smash to the face! He drills him two more times and then takes him down with a big Ankle Pick, looking for the Liberty Lock early!
DDK:
No! Baylor kicks him off.
Angus:
And Opie’s just pissing him off right now!
Theo gets back up as Cole comes running at him, but Baylor EXPLODES off the ropes with a big Running Shoulder Tackle, knocking Cole right down on his ass! The crowd jeers as Baylor takes a second to pat himself on the back. Baylor then waits for his chance to take out Levi Cole when he sees him in his sights. As Cole sits on the apron, he gets struck down with a huge kick to the spine, sending him down to the floor!
Angus:
Baylor’s full speed ahead! I bet Cole didn’t expect this coming out of the match.
DDK:
Cole’s VERY well versed in the mat game and in suplexes, but Theo Baylor isn’t letting him have any opportunities to do any of that tonight.
Brother Lucius Owens continues to egg on his client, telling him to stay on the attack. Theo Baylor rests comfortably on the ring apron waiting for Cole to get back up. It’s not like Theo to do anything such as high flying, but when Cole gets up and turns around…
SHOULDER BLOCK OFF THE RING APRON!
DDK:
Theo Baylor just came off that ring apron like a missile! He wants this opportunity tonight, knowing full well he’s one big win away from finally getting at the BRAZEN Championship!
Angus:
And that big mack truck of a man can do it!
Baylor sits back up and lets out a roar to the crowd before he goes over to Levi Cole, who’s still reeling from being attacked at the onset of this match from Theo Baylor. Cole tries to keep the fight going, but Baylor continues his overwhelming aggression and pummels Cole’s spine with a few well-placed Clubbing Forearm Smashes. The blows continue coming until he throws him back in the ring.
DDK:
Somewhat surprising tactic by Theo Baylor to take to the sky like this.
Angus:
And he’s throwing Opie back in the ring. He wants to BEAT him decisively, Keebs.
Now with both men in the ring, Theo Baylor measures up the Good Ol Boy from Kansas as he tries to sit up, only to SMACK him right in the face with a Low Angled Big Boot! The blow knocks Cole clean on his back and Theo goes for the first cover of the match, trying to end this one quickly!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DDK:
Cole got clobbered right there! Theo’s just coming at him with everything and it’s paying off for him so far!
Angus:
He’s a damn rageaholic. Theo’s always angry, but Owens has him focused tonight. That’s what he needs.
Theo Baylor then goes to pick Cole up. He tries to fight him off with a pair of Elbow Smashes again. Enough to stun most people, but not the bigger Baylor. Baylor returns fire by doubling him over with a big kick and then whipping him off to the ropes. He charges in and CLOBBERS Cole with a huge Running Corner Clothesline. Before he can do anything about it, Theo Irish Whip’s Levi across the ring and does the same thing again, clocking him with a second Running Corner Clothesline in the corner!
The crowd jeers him some more, but he pulls Cole out of the corner and then deposits him mid-ring with a spine-jarring Sidewalk Slam! With that, Theo goes for a cover and hooks the far leg.
ONE!
TWO!
TH… NO!
Angus:
Gorram, a close one!
DDK:
Cole’s weathering the storm, but he’s got to find some kind of opening fast.
Angus:
Easier said than done sometimes, Keebs.
Cole continues to get shellacked upside the back by Theo Baylor as the crowd chants for him to continue.
“COLE!
COLE!
COLE!
COLE!
COLE!”
Levi takes the chants to heart and tries to will himself back up, but Theo now has him over the shoulder. He runs towards the corner, possibly thinking about Snake Eyes, but Cole slips out the back and sends the big mack truck of a man crashing into the corner! Cole then catches him with a School Boy!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
Theo gets back up, but Cole goes low and takes out his knee with a Low Dropkick!
DDK:
There we go! Cole’s got an opening now and working that leg over for the Liberty Lock!
As Theo writhes in pain at his knee, Cole busts out a big move of his own, running into the ropes and going low with a Shoulder Tackle of his own, knocking Theo Baylor flat on his back to the cheers of the crowd! And now, Cole with the cover!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DDK:
Twice now that Cole’s almost had him!
Cole manages to stay his focus on the knee and goes back to working over Theo’s leg again with a few good stomps. He then tries the Liberty Lock a second time when this time, Lucius Owens climbs on the ring apron.
DDK:
No, what is he doing?
Angus:
Duh, saving his meal ticket, Keebs. This your first time watching commentary, you dork?
Cole sees him and won’t take a swat at him, doing his best to ignore him. But the distraction is all Theo Baylor needs to kick Cole in the knee using his free leg! The crowd jeers the distraction as Theo now launches Cole, sending him shoulder-first into the ring post with a loud thud!
Cole limps out of the corner and then walks right into…
Angus:
WELCOME TO LA! AND WELCOME TO A TITLE MATCH, THEO BAYLOR!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE...KICKOUT!
Angus:
NO, NO, NO! OPIE KICKED OUT!
DDK:
He did, Angus! I don’t believe it! Nobody’s kicked out of that move yet!
The crowd POPS hard for one of BRAZEN’s most respected talents, kicking out of Theo Baylor’s big finish right then and there! His eyes go wide, but when Charlie Montgomery tells him that it’s only a two-count, Theo starts to get livid and get in his face.
Theo Baylor:
MOTHERFUCKER, THAT WAS THREE! ONE! TWO! THREE!
Owens yells back at his charge not to lose his temper and to stay on Levi Cole when they’re so close to victory. Theo takes a second to compose himself while American Made crawls around on the mat, trying to fight his way back up. Theo watches him and waits intently now, swinging his arms. He has been using a Western Lariat to set up the Welcome to LA and though the moves would be out of sequence, one more shot is all he feels he needs.
DDK:
If he hits this, it may be over!
When Cole starts to finally rise, Theo runs off the ropes and goes screaming as he tries for the Lariat… NO!
Cole ducks underneath, shoves him off the ropes and fires back with a HUGE German Suplex, almost dumping Baylor on his neck and shoulders!
DDK:
But Cole’s still got the arms locked around his waist!
Sure enough, Cole still has the arms interlocked around Theo Baylor. When both big men get to their feet, Cole takes him over with a second German Suplex! The blow drops him hard, but Cole grabs him around again and pulls the weight of Theo Baylor up slowly before turning him around into a Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge!
ONE!
TWO!
NO!
DDK:
Cole’s closing in on the #1 Contendership! These two aren’t holding anything back now!
Angus:
Damn right they aren’t. My kids are doing great out there!
The Head BOOKAH of BRAZEN laughs giddily as Cole tries to go for a Gutwrench Powerbomb, the other arrow in the quiver of his. He tries to get the weight of Theo Baylor up… AND HE DOES… but Baylor squirms free and slips out behind him. Cole turns around only to get a back elbow to the face, followed by a Short Ranged Lariat!
DDK:
DID YOU HEAR THAT?! BAYLOR CAUGHT HIM WITH THAT LARIAT!
Theo Baylor is perhaps spent from going full tilt in this match, but collapses down into a cover on Cole.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
DDK:
Cole isn’t going to give up! He’s kicked out of Welcome To LA and the Western Lariat!
Theo Baylor can’t believe it and quite frankly, neither can The Faithful. They continue to cheer on the long-standing BRAZEN member who has been so close to big wins for a couple years now. Cole starts to get back up again with Theo looking to end things. He starts to set up for a second Welcome to LA and lifts him…
NO!
Levi catches him with an elbow to the top of the head to disorient Theo followed by another Chop Block to the knee! The blow stuns him and allows him to land…
DDK:
GUTWRENCH POWERBOMB! COLE GOT HIM!
The ring shakes from the impact of the bomb, but Cole doesn’t stop there after hitting his impact finisher. He grabs the knee of Baylor and twists it around… REVERSE KNEELING FIGURE FOUR!
DDK:
LIBERTY LOCK! HE HAS THE SUBMISSION LOCKED ON! CAN HE GO TO DEFCON?
Cole continues to crank back on the submission with Baylor dead center in the ring! He’s worked over that knee with good shots through the bout! Owens pleads with Theo not to tap…
He holds the arm up…
AND TAPS!!!
DING DING DING!
DDK:
Cole does it! Cole does it! We have a new #1 Contender!
Angus:
Damn, Opie did it!
Cole lets go of the hold and pops back up to his feet, raising his fists in the air to a huge pop from the crowd! After finally vanquishing his nemesis, he can now set his sights on Reinhardt Hoffman…
Now out from the back, looking on icily at his next challenger for the BRAZEN Championship is said Hoffman. He shoots his trademark cold glare at Cole, almost disgusted with having to fight the man he originally defeated to win the title.
DDK:
Hoffman and Cole will meet up for the BRAZEN Championship! Cole has fought for this chance and now he has it!
Angus:
Dont blow it this time!
DDK:
Cole has Mushigihara to contend with next week on DEFTV, not to mention a special edition of The Bruv Show with Kendrix interviewing the two men making up our DEFCON main event. FIST of DEFIANCE Scott Stevens and Oscar Burns. Good night all!
