Kushiro, Japan
May 15, 2012
Scott Stevens (0-0, 17%) vs. III (0-0, 14%)
The lights in the arena go pitch black, as red lasers and spotlights light up the area. The video screen lights up and flashes across the screen, "Nothing survives my sting!" The crowd starts booing as Dave Mustaine's voice echoes throughout the arena, "I am the Scorpion, whoa!" The jeering intensifies as a mash-up of "I Stand Alone" and "Amazing" hits the speakers, drawing out the reigning Legacy Pro Wrestling champion, complete with belt around the waist. Walking down the aisle, he talks trash the entire way while raising a fist at a few of the more vocal bashers and pointing at the LPW title around his waist to everyone else. As he finally gets to the ring, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stares down the aisleway, an icy glare and the throat slash gesture his only actions as he drops to the mat.
Amelia Williams: This contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Houston, Texas, weighing 256 pounds...Her Goddess Selket's favorite Arachnid, The King of Sting, The Venomous One and Only, and the reigning Legacy Pro Wrestling Heavyweight Champion... he is "The Scorpion" Scott Stevens!
Frankie Garnett: Also known as a sure lock in the playoffs this season!
Tori Montgomery: It's a wonder you can breathe, given how far your nose is shoved up—
Bob Sinclair: Easy, Tori. Don't sink to his level. He'll beat you with experience.
Frankie Garnett: Exactly....hey, wait a minute!
"Reaping Stone" by Iced Earth starts to play, the somber melody of the intro a far cry from what we're used from the man now known as III. As soon as Jon Schaffer's guitar kicks up III emerges from the curtains, in a long flowing robe in the pattern of a star chart. He takes his time getting to the ring, where he leaps over the top rope, then stands on the second turnbuckle as he slides his robe off, revealing his tights, black pleather with a white III on the left leg, and a Celtic armor belt with the words "Cosmic Destiny" written on the front. He takes off the belt as well before handing his entrance gear to a ring crew member and stretches out a bit.
Amelia Williams: His opponent, from The Third Altar of the Third Tier of the Third Pyramid, weighing 199 pounds...III!
Frankie Garnett: From the whosa-what now?
Bob Sinclair: III is certainly taking this gimmick seriously, Tori.
Tori Montgomery: As he's said, this may be his last chance to be picked up by one of the major wrestling promotions. He's going to do all he can to make sure that happens.
