WrestleUTA Legacy Title Match:
Scott Stevens vs Jack Harmen
As we come back from a commercial (if you don’t have Hulu Plus!), the crowd is at a fever pitch as we prepare for the Main Event of the evening. We get a crowd pan shot as fans hold up their signs, a lot of them negative toward Stevens and his recent actions.
Blackfront: It’s been quite a night, partner, and it’s time for the main event!
Ace: Good. I got a pool party I need to get to and the ladies charge by the hour.
Blackfront: The less I know the better Ace. But tonight, we have a Legacy Championship match, a sort of rematch from Absolution. Even though Harmen was attacked earlier today by Chris Ross, he’s here to defend against Scott Stevens. A fighting champ who will never give up going against a man who’s got nothing left to lose… Let’s send it to C.H. Jordan for the official introductions.
DING DING DING
Jordan: This next contest is scheduled for one fall, with a twenty minute time limit, and it is for the WrestleUTA… LEGACY… CHAMPIONSHIP!
Blackfront: Regardless of your opinion, Tommy, the fans are psyched for this match!
Jordan: Introducing first…
He looks at his cards for a moment, and does a double take.
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 a Texas flag, with the words, “Texas Born. Texas Bred.” “Texas Forever.“ branded into the flag. The crowd reaction is a chorus of boos, as the opening guitar riffs and “Hellraiser” by Motorhead begins to play throughout the PA system.
Blackfront: The once beloved Texan is now hated by the masses. The path of redemption was just too difficult to walk for Stevens.
Ace: Stevens realized these idiots were holding him back from championship glory and I’m glad he finally grew a brain and realized succeeding by any means necessary is better than pandering to these fools. Plus, look! It’s already worked! He’s got a title match just one show removed!
The boos intensify as the chorus hits the speakers, drawing out the man from Texas.
Blackfront: And there he is ladies and gentlemen, the man who turned his back on everyone as he assaulted the Iron Terror last show, all because he got cocky and lost. Then, earlier tonight, he continued his onslaught by costing the Iron Terror his match earlier tonight.
Ace: You do what you have to do to succeed.
Walking down the aisle, wadded paper and other types of garbage begin to rain down on the Texan. Stevens takes a moment to stare at the ravenous crowd and raise a fist at a few of the more vocal bashers threatening to Stevens’ to attack them.
Ace: I wish those idiots would try and get some from Scottie. Stevens’d make them all pay for plastic surgery.
As he finally gets to the ring, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stares out into the crowd before giving each and everyone in attendance the unofficial state bird of Texas.
Blackfront: That’s nice.
Ace: He’s just reciprocating the love being shown to him.
As Stevens’ music begins to fade we hear the chilling voice of Ozzy Osbourne over the PA system.
"All Aboard~! AH HA ha ha ha ha ha ha..."
A light fog rises from the entrance ramp as the opening guitar riff of “Crazy Train” by Ozzy Osbourne resounds out of the PA system. Jack Harmen steps out from the back, parting the fog like Moses, as he stands tall at the ramp. He raises one hand in a devil horn taunt and smiles to the cheering crowd. He winces just a bit as he does, clutching his side but making sure to do his best to hide his pain from the earlier attack from Chris Ross. His manager and protege Mary-Lynn Mayweather is by his side, wearing her trademark red skirt suit.
Blackfront: We definitely know who the crowd favors here tonight Tommy just listen to that ovation.
Ace: Oh please, this guy has to be the luckiest man in the fucking world as he lost that Legacy championship he has around his waist, but held onto it because that dumb ass Impulse is too stupid to know when a good thing slaps in in the face.
Blackfront: Well there was some controversy involving Chris Ross and a curb stomp…...
Ace: Was Impulse not declared the winner?
Blackfront: …..Yes…..but…..
Ace: No buts. Harmen lost, end of story.
Blackfront: Cept the match didn’t end there Ace. You can remember it however you’d like.
Ace: You remember both men winning, I prefer to remember both those idiots losing. Forgetting who wins. It’s my way.
Harmen storms his way to the ring, slapping a few fans extended hands on his way. Mary-Lynn is more cautious, giving Harmen a wide breath as he walks to the ring. Jack climbs up the steel steps, walks on the apron, and tries to roll the kinks out of his shoulders, before calmly entering the ring. He then does a backflop, and begins to make snow angels in the center of the ring. As the crowd’s pop disperses, he rolls to his knees, staring down the Texan Turncoat before him. He rises to his feet, unstrapping the Legacy championship and handing it to the official in charge.
Jordan: Ladies and gentlemen, to my left is the challenger and number one contender to the Wrestle UTA Legacy championship. Coming to us from the Great State of Texas, by way of Houston, Texas. He stands at six feet, six inches, and weighing in at two hundred and fifty-six pounds. He is the former Wrestle UTA Wildfire champion…..This...is....SCOTTTTTTTTTTTTT STEEEEEEEEEEEVENSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
The crowd boos once again as Stevens comes out of his corner slowly and cracks his neck from side to side.
Jordan: And to my right…..
The crowd cheers loudly and Harmen is almost taken aback by the reaction. He shouts “YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE!” with a wide smile.
Jordan: From Los Angeles, California, accompanied to the ring by the Tiny Attorney, Mary-Lynn Mayweather, weighing in at two hundred twenty four pounds… he is the WrestleUTA Hall of Famer and all around nice guy… the WrestleUTA LEGACY CHAMPION… JACK… HARMEN!!!
Harmen runs to the corner once again and hops onto the middle turnbuckle. He raises his trademark TEXIAN Devil Horns as the crowd cheers him. However, Stevens has seen enough and decides to take matters into his own hands. He rushes at the champion and clubs him in the back before yanking him back into the ring before he could tumble outside.
Blackfront: Cheap shot by Stevens.
Ace: Stevens was tired of Harmen rubbing it in his face.
Blackfront: Rubbing what?
Ace: He’s the only Texan here! He can’t use Texas’ own salute against Stevens for cheers!?!
Stevens begins to smash Harmen’s face into the top turnbuckle repeatedly. He even transitions into the middle buckle with a flurry of head slams.
Stevens: You like that champ?
Stevens asks before turning Harmen over and lays in some rights and left to the body.
Blackfront: Harmen is taking a lot of punishment and we just started the match.
Ace: Good. The Boss softened him up and Stevens is going to finish him here tonight and become the real Legacy champion.
Stevens takes a short stoppage to grab the champion by his wild green hair and lets him know what he thinks of him.
Stevens: I thought Hall of Famers were tougher than this!!!
Stevens yells as he lays in a right to the side of Harmen. Harmen’s eyes go wide as he almost squeals in pain.
Stevens: Don’t worry paper champion, I’ll be the Legacy champion this company needs!
Stevens yells once more as he hooks a left to Harmen’s body as the champion falls to his knees gasping for air.
Blackfront: Those heavy hands of Stevens are doing their job early and effectively. Scott must have seen the video from earlier tonight where Ross targeted the ribs and head of the Lunatic.
Ace: Harmen can’t be that great when he goes down to a couple of right hands, even from the Hossian Texan Stevens.
Stevens grabs the champion by his hair and begins to scream at him.
Stevens: Look at me when I speak to you boy!
Harmen’s eyes roll into the back of his head before Stevens slams Harmen’s face into the mat.
Ace: Look at sissy boy Harmen, a real champion there folks.
Stevens shakes his head being disgusted that Harmen is the Legacy champion as he targets his head with some boots.
Blackfront: Stevens targeting the areas injured by Chris Ross earlier today. This is just a straight out and out mugging from Stevens, a distant departure from their competitive matchup at Absolution.
Stevens bounces off of the ropes for a little extra momentum to kick the champion in the face and spit comes flying out of Harmen’s mouth.
Ace: Was that a tooth?
Ace asks as Harmen rolls from the momentum, trying to roll to a corner. Stevens rushes, grabbing and pulls him back to the center of the ring as he goes for a cover.
One.
Two.
No.
Harmen is able to get the shoulder up but Stevens is back on the attack as he immediately locks in a reverse chinlock.
Blackfront: Stevens is keeping the pressure on Harmen as he doesn’t want the champion to build any kind of momentum.
The referee checks to see if the champion wants to submit but Harmen shouts no. Upon hearing Harmen’s refusal to submit, Stevens begins to turn Harmen’s head into Jello with some crossface strikes. Stevens immediately follows up with a quick cover but the champion once again kicks out before the count of three drawing frustration from the Texan who looks at the official and signals it was three with his fingers.
Blackfront: Stevens not liking the officiating. Perhaps he wants the official to hand him the Legacy championship instead of earning it like he should?
Ace: C’mon, we all saw how slow that count was. Guy was slapping his hand against the canvas like it was molasses.
Stevens gets to his feet and pulls Harmen up as well. Harmen is double over by a kick to the gut before the challenger hooks him in a front facelock. Stevens tries to lift him but Harmen blocks which causes Stevens to hit him in the back of the head until the fight is gone allowing Stevens to lift Harmen up high in the air and back to the mat with a Jackhammer type suplex. Stevens yells for the referee to count and the official drops down to make his cadence.
One.
Two.
No.
Harmen gets the shoulder up and Stevens shoots him a look.
Blackfront: Harmen kicks out again and Stevens isn’t liking it.
Stevens quickly picks up his opponent and throws him into his ropes and he doubles Harmen over with a shot to the stomach before building momentum himself to deliver a running neckbreaker. Instead of going for a cover, the Texan picks up Harmen and delivers a belly to belly overhead suplex into the corner. Stevens goes over to Harmen and positions him how he wants as he tells him to stay there.
Blackfront: This can’t be good.
Stevens slaps his metal knee brace before he begins to rev up as if he is a train and hits the ropes looking to end the match here and now, but as he goes to deliver the knee trembler Mary-Lynn Mayweather pulls Jack to the outside and Stevens collides with the turnbuckle instead.
Blackfront: The usually neutral Mary-Lynn Mayweather making her presence known here tonight Ace. Steven’s knee crashes against the buckles with a furious vengeance.
Ace: That girl better realize she’s just made Scott Steven’s shit list.
Mary-Lynn holds Harmen up on the outside, as Jack winces and clutches his ribs. Mary-Lynn gives him a pep talk.
Mary-Lynn Mayweather: You got this Jack. Just gotta wait for a mistake, right?
Jack Harmen: Like the mistake I made when I accepted a match after that Douchebag made a wish on my ribs earlier?
Mary-Lynn Mayweather: Well, I’d call it more guts than a mistake.
Without another word, Mary-Lynn tosses Harmen back into the ring under the bottom rope. Stevens is still nursing his knee, limping as he tries to shake off the stinger. Harmen dives from behind, shoulder blocking Steven’s knee, and taking him down to the mat. Harmen takes the advantage, grabbing a downed Stevens by the leg and kicking his knee multiple times. Harmen then hits a spinning toe hold, as he lands and kneels on the canvas. He repeats this three more times, before front flipping and causing pressure as he takes the leg with him. Stevens looks folded up but the quick pressure of the forward roll causes immense pain.
Harmen keeps hold of the leg, wraps it around his own, and then back bridges into an STF. Our official is right there, asking Stevens if he quits, but Stevens forcefully shakes his head no.
Blackfront: Unique submission maneuver from Harmen, haven’t seen his ground game much since he entered UTA.
Ace: And that’s probably the best strategy this fluke can take. Keep Stevens off his feet and away from throwing you around the ring like a rag doll.
Stevens reaches for the ropes but they’re too far. So instead, he starts battering Harmen with blows to his ribs, causing Harmen to lose the bridge. Both men climb to their feet, and Stevens is the one to strike the Lunatic with a low blow, square in the face of the official. Harmen falls to his knees, shaking his head no as the official wants to wave it off. Stevens threatens our official, and that’s not smart as he took his eyes off the Legacy champ. So, Harmen decided to low blow Stevens himself. Scott falls to his knees, and the two men square off from their knees, trading rights and lefts. Harmen throws in a headbutt. Stevens gains the advantage after, Harmen having hurt himself more with the headbutt than he anticipated. Stevens hooks Harmen by his hair and just tosses him across the ring like a rag doll.
Harmen rolls out under the ring, onto the apron. He pulls himself up, as Stevens comes over. He looks for a suplex, but Harmen hooks the ropes to block it. Another headbutt sends Stevens backpeddling, before he turns into Harmen’s trademark springboard Lou Thesz. And cue the rain of punches.
Harmen hops off of Stevens and into his corner, waving Scott to his feet. The crowd rises in anticipation, as Harmen sizes Scott Stevens up, slamming his boot into the apron to get the crowd to clap along.
Blackfront: And it looks like Harmen is looking for his Locomotive, the charging Yakuza Kick.
Badlands by iMayday!
Ace: Oh thank God! The hometown hero is here!
Indeed, at the top of the rampway is Chris Ross, none too pleased with the events that transpired earlier in the evening. He cracks his knuckles and looks toward the ring, fully expecting Jack Harmen to take his eyes off the prize.
Instead, Jack Harmen runs and LAYS OUT Scott Stevens with his patented Yakuza kick.
Blackfront: Jack Harmen just took Scott Stevens’ head clean off his shoulders! My God! Chris Ross couldn’t even distract him!
Ace: That goes against everything I know about professional wrestling!
Blackfront: And Harmen folds on top of Stevens with the cover!
One.
Two.
Thr-NO!?!
The crowd is stunned as Scott Stevens gets his foot onto the bottom rope. The official noticed it at the last second, and calls off the count.
Blackfront: Foot on the ropes! Foot on the ropes! Scott Stevens’ nightmare of becoming Legacy champion is still possible!
Harmen leans back, mouth agape, tugging at his wild mane. Meanwhile, Chris Ross has made his way to ringside, and has climbed onto the ring apron. He’s shouting at Jack Harmen.
Chris Ross: You look at me when I’m distracting you!
Harmen stands to his feet, as the official yells at Ross to get off the apron. Even Mary-Lynn, Harmen’s manager, has walked over to Ross’ side and yells at him to get off. Jack Harmen walks over, and the two get into each other’s face, staring at each other only separated by the ring ropes.
Jack Harmen: Hit me! DO IT! Make my job easier! That guy just kicked out of my finisher. THAT GUY! SO DO IT! I WANT YOU TO DO IT!
Jack Harmen presents his face for Ross to tag him, but Ross hesitates. He sneers, pulling back his fist as Harmen eggs him on. The official keeps trying to yell at Ross to drop off the apron.
Blackfront: Wait! Stevens charges! Harmen moves! Stevens just shoulderblocks Ross off the apron into the guardrail! Stevens is stunned… ROLL UP! SCHOOL BOY! Harmen’s leaning onto Stevens’ bad leg!
One.
Two.
Three!
Harmen quickly lets go of the school boy, tosses his arms wildly into the air, and rolls out of the ring. Mary-Lynn rushes to his side, grabbing the Legacy championship from the time keeper. They both notice Chris Ross, recovering on the outside, stuck between them and the exit. So, Harmen and Mary-Lynn both hop over the guardrail. Harmen takes one last moment while standing on the barricade and makes a fart noise with his mouth to Chris Ross before disappearing into the crowd.
Blackfront: Jack Harmen was able to overcome the odds, injury and all, and tame the wild beast of Scott Stevens, all while avoiding Chris Ross! Ace, I don’t know, we might have had a new Legacy champion if it wasn’t for Chris Ross tonight?
Ace: Stevens had the best match of his career, and it’s a shame we don’t have a Legacy champion we can be proud of Black!
Blackfront: For Tommy Ace, I’m Jason Blackfront, see you next time, live on WrestleUTA on Hulu! Good night everybody!
One last shot, of Chris Ross cursing toward the official, as the program fades to black.

Blackfront: Jack Harmen was able to overcome the odds, injury and all, and tame the wild beast of Scott Stevens, all while avoiding Chris Ross! Ace, I don’t know, we might have had a new Legacy champion if it wasn’t for Chris Ross tonight?
Ace: Stevens had the best match of his career, and it’s a shame we don’t have a Legacy champion we can be proud of Black!
Blackfront: For Tommy Ace, I’m Jason Blackfront, see you next time, live on WrestleUTA on Hulu! Good night everybody!
One last shot, of Chris Ross cursing toward the official, as the program fades to black.
