As we come back from commercial, the Hall of Fame duo is ready to call the main event of the evening.
Joe Hoffman: Ladies and Gentlemen tonight is a special night as Jason P. Davidson gives an opportunity to a mystery challenger as he defends the HOW world heavyweight championship here tonight. The question on everyone’s mind whose it going to be?
Benny Newell: That’s simple.
Joe Hoffman: How so?
Benny Newell: It’s not going to be anyone from 4CW because those fucks would rather play with themselves than compete against the best.
Joe Hoffman: Well that leaves only Boardwalk Wrestling and someone from HOW being the benefactors of this opportunity.
Benny Newell: Yeah and if Jason gets his wish then Scott Stevens will be the one to walk down that ramp to challenge for the world championship…..
Joe Hoffman: Hold on a minute Benny……
Joe says as his cuts off his partner and listens to the voice in his headset.
Joe Hoffman: It’s who? And he’s doing what?!?
Benny Newell: What’s happening Hoffman?
The image immediately cuts from ringside to the backstage area and Scott Stevens has a microphone in hand and he’s yelling at Blair Moise and HOW producers.
Scott Stevens: Shut the fuck up!
Stevens shouts at Blair and the producers.
Stevens looks like he hasn’t showered since his match concluded as he is still in his wrestling attire and sweat is dripping down his body. He wipes his face before bringing the microphone to his lips.
Scott Stevens: Have I proven myself worthy Mario?
Stevens asks politely as the camera zooms in on the Texan’s face.
Scott Stevens: My team destroyed that pathetic grouping called the Unstable. I was victorious in my match, and I want to know if I’ve done enough to earn a shot at the world title?
Stevens asks in a more authoritive tone of voice.
Scott Stevens: If not, and the person you’ve chosen to face Jace for the world championship is unworthy in my eyes he or she won’t even make it on the stage.
By this point security has shown up and Stevens begins to leave, but has some parting words before he goes.
Scott Stevens: Do the right thing Mario or bad things will happen.
Stevens informs before dropping the microphone and exiting the scene.
Joe Hoffman: Welcome back folks… and we are ready for our main event! Jace P. Davidson will defend his HOW World Title against a mystery opponent tonight.
Benny Newell: And Scott Stevens thinks he will be that lucky mother fucker tonight. But we all know that since he is begging like Keith Sweat… Mario will never give it to him.
Joe Hoffman: Or will Mario do it just to mess with the so called “Lee Best logic”?
Benny Newell: Don’t fuck with my logic Joe! Stevens wants it… so he won’t get it. What about that Zion dude… or McAvay… or Scottywood! How about Scottywood Joe? Don’t you think he deserves a shot against Jace here on Mayhem?
Joe Hoffman: I am not saying any of that Benny… but this isn’t Lee Best playing mindfuck games with everyone. We are in Minneapolis tonight… not the Best Arena.
Benny Newell: Don’t fucking remind me. I could only bring three handles of Jack into the arena tonight. THREE FUCKING HANDLES ONLY! What kind of madness is that shit Joe?
Joe Hoffman: Have you ever looked into AA Benny?
Benny Newell: Asian Asses? Yes! I look at Asian Asses every night Joe. Only costs about a hundred bucks… shit is cheap compared to…
Joe Hoffman: I don’t think I wanna hear anymore.
“King of Everything” by Anarchy Club hits as we hear boos from the Minneapolis crowd as we see Jace make his way out onto the stage with the HOW World Title on his shoulder as he starts to walk confidently down the ramp and towards the ring.
Bryan McVay: The following match is scheduled for one fall… first making his way to the ring from Miami, Florida and weighing in at 232 pounds…. He is the winner of the 2015 War Games and the HOW World Champion…. Jace P. Davidson!!!!!!!
Benny Newell: What the fuck is this bullshit! The champion entering first? You sure we are in Minneapolis and not Stamford, Connecticut?
Joe Hoffman: Well we have no idea who the challenger is Benny… they are suspending tradition for suspension tonight… just tonight.
Benny Newell: Bah!
Jace makes his way up the steel steps and raises the HOW World Title up over his head as he enters the ring and walks up to Matt Boettcher standing in the middle of the ring.
Joe Hoffman: One has to respect Jace… even if one is booing him tonight… that he has agreed to defend his title against a mystery opponent. That mean no preparation… no scouting… no anything that a champion usually gets in a big time match like this.
Benny Newell: Boo fucking hoo. Jace is going to destroy whoever walks behind that curtain. Zion, McAvay, Scottywood… Not Stevens. I know Jace may want it… but it will NOT be Stevens.
Joe Hoffman: So it will be?
Benny Newell: And now it won’t.
Joe Hoffman: Now it will.
Benny Newell: Fucking eh Joe! We could do this all night! It will NOT be Scott fucking…
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 mixed, but there are more cheers than boos, as a piano calmly plays throughout the PA system and “Til I Collapse” by Eminem begins to play. The cheers intensify as the chorus hits the speakers, drawing out the man from Texas.
Joe Hoffman: Holy cow!
Benny Newell: Fucking shit balls!
Brain McVay: And his opponent… from the great state of Texas and weighing in at 256 pounds…. SCOTT STEVENS!!!!!!
The arena is erupting as Stevens is walking down the aisle, he fists bumps some of his fans while raising a fist at a few of the more vocal bashers. As he finally gets to the ring, he climbs the nearest turnbuckle and stares down at his opponent, an icy glare and the throat slash gesture his only actions as he drops to the mat.
Joe Hoffman: Stevens looks like a man laser focused on Jace tonight Benny. This may be his best and only shot at the HOW World Title. One on one here on a weekly show… one can’t ask for a better shot at eternal glory here in HOW.
Benny Newell: One could also not ask for a better place to be a loser… Minneapolis… the city for losers!
Joe Hoffman: Wow…. I’m not walking out with you tonight.
Benny Newell: Neither am I. Don’t want the woman to think we’re gay or something.
Boettcher takes the World Title from Jace and raises it above his head before he passes it off to the timekeeper and calls for the bell as this World Title match is officially underway.
Joe Hoffman: Jace P. Davidson versus Scott Stevens for the HOW World Title! Here we go folks, this one should be a barn burner…. A instant classic… a match that none of us will ever forget.
Benny Newell: Fucking eh… shut up and let them fight.
As if the two were waiting for Joe and Benny to finish talking, Stevens and Jace start to trade blows in the middle of the ring, not giving a fuck about grapples, they trade one set, two, three and four sets of rights as Jace knees Stevens in the gut as he quickly grabs Stevens head and nails a DDT in the middle of the ring and slowly stands up… trying to take away the heat that Stevens has from starting the biggest match in his HOW career. Stevens pops back up and takes a superkick right on the jaw as Stevens becomes laid back out in the middle of the ring.
Joe Hoffman: Not the start Stevens was looking for here tonight for sure…
Benny Newell: No fucking shit Sherlock.
Jace grabs Stevens by the hair to pull him to his feet but Stevens grabs Jace’s hair and pulls him down into a small package as Boettcher goes for the first count of the night.
ONE…….
TWO…………………….
THREE……………………………
Joe Hoffman: Jace gets….
Benny Newell: His fucking shoulders up, yes! Thank you Joe. Do you really think Scott Stevens was gonna win the World Title like that?
Joe Hoffman: Stranger things have happened.
Benny Newell: In my fucking hotel room.
Stevens pops back up but right into a spinebuster from Jace as the World champion takes a breath and stroke his goatee before driving a knee into the face of Stevens. He gets up and drives a second knee as he pops back up and goes for the hat trick but Stevens moves at the last second as Jace’s knee hits the mat and Stevens jumps up to his knees and nails Jace with a headbutt and follows it up with a nasty uppercut. The World champ is dazed as Stevens drives his own knee into the face of Jace and lays him out in the middle of the ring.
Joe Hoffman: Now that is a better turn around by Stevens. He needs to stay on Jace… make sure he can’t comeback with any momentum.
Benny Newell: The lonesome loser will find a way to fuck it up Joe… come on.
Stevens pulls Jace to his feet and whips him into the corner as he charges after him but Jace rolls out of the corner as Steven pulls up and quickly turns around and spears Jace to the ground. Mounting the World champion Stevens starts unleashing a fury of rights that Jace tries to fight off the best he can, but the majority find their mark as Stevens busts Jace open on the forehead and blood starts to flow down the face of the World Champion. Jace manages to push Stevens off him as he tries to get to his feet but Stevens nails a nasty European upper cut as Jace falls to the mat and Stevens goes for the cover.
Benny Newell: Debbie Does Dallas! One of my favorites!
Joe Hoffman: Stevens for the cover… wait… Jace has the ankle! Ankle lock!
Stevens slams down to the mat as Jace doesn’t even bother to climb back to his feet and quickly grapevines the leg and Stevens and locks in the ankle lock on the challenger. Stevens quickly tries to pull himself towards the ropes as Jace tries to keep him away. The two battle at Boettcher keeps asking Stevens if he wants to give up but the challenger vigorously refuses as he claws at the mat and manages to reach the bottom rope as Boettcher starts his five count for Jace to break the hold.
ONE……
TWO…………..
THRE……………………
Jace lets go of the hold as Stevens quickly grabs his ankle to try and get the blood flowing back to his foot. Jace though doesn’t give Stevens much of a break as he climbs back to his feet as he starts stomping away at the body of Stevens as Boettcher tries to back him off and starts another five count which Jace stops at four when he back away from Stevens. Boettcher lets Stevens get back to his feet as Jace charges at him and clotheslines the challenger over the top rope as Stevens crashes down to the mat. Jace quickly exits the ring onto the apron and springboards off the second rope and goes for a moonsault on Stevens to the outside… but Stevens rolls out of the way and Jace nails the floor hard.
“YOU FUCKED UP, YOU FUCKED UP, YOU FUCKED UP”
Joe Hoffman: The Chicago faithful may be ruthless… but the Minneapolis HOW fans are just as unforgiving as the marinate Jace with a chat for his missed move.
Benny Newell: Even the best back errors… but the best overcome them and ALWAYS win Joe… ALWAYS!
Stevens rolls himself up to his feet with the help of the guardrail as Jace lay on the ground and Stevens looks at Boettcher who is up to a four count. He grabs Jace and instead of rolling him into the ring he throws him hard into the steel steps, sending the top one flying.
Joe Hoffman: Stevens better be careful not to get counted out here. The champion has the obvious advantage if either man gets counted out.
Benny Newell: I’m sure even Stevens isn’t that dumb not to know that simple rule. Though that shit would be hilarious.
Stevens grabs Jace to roll him back into the ring but Jace grabs Stevens’ hair and slams his head into the ringpost as he rolls back into the ring and Stevens staggers outside the ring.
EIGHT……..
NINE……………………
TEN………………………………..
Stevens just manages to roll into the ring as Jace goes ballistic for a split second before he sees his chance and goes for the curb stomp on the re-entering Stevens.
Joe Hoffman: Bow To The King!
Benny Newell: He missed?!?!
Jace hobbles with his jammed ankle as Stevens goes for the diamond cutter…
Joe Hoffman: Toxic Sting!
Benny Newell: He connected! Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!
Joe Hoffman: Stevens could make history right here!
ONE……………………..
TWO…………………………………………….
Benny Newell: Fuuuuuucccckkkkk…..
Benny is almost speaking in slow motion as Boettcher’s hand comes down for the final count as he goes to yell the words THREE from his mouth…..
THREE………………………………………
Joe Hoffman: We have a new…
Benny Newell: Foot on the fucking rope!
Joe Hoffman: Don’t lie to the…. Wait…. He did! Jace got his foot on the ropes! Boettcher is waving the count off at just a two!
Benny Newell: Yes!
Joe Hoffman: Dang that was a rollercoaster of emotions!
Stevens seems almost broken as he stares blankly into the crowd for a moment before he gets his head back into the game and muscles on by grabbing Jace but the hair and goes for the spike piledriver to put an end to this match. But Jace isn’t finishes as he counters with a back body drop that lays Stevens out on the mat. He turns over to get up and Jaces comes flying in with the boot the back of Stevens’ head.
Joe Hoffman: Bow To The King connects! Stevens is out cold in the middle of the ring!
Benny Newell: End it Jace! Cover him!
ONE…………………….
TWO……………………………………….
THREE…………………………………………………………
Benny Newell: Jace retains!!!!!
Bryan McVay: Your win…
But McVay reacts too quickly to Benny’s hysteria as Boettcher starts waving his arms as he throws up just two fingers.
Joe Hoffman: Stevens kicks out! Stevens kicks out of Bow To The King!
The roof in the arena is nearly blown off as this match continues as Jace just shakes his head… stunned that Stevens was somehow… able to kick out of one of his finishers.
Joe Hoffman: No idea how Stevens had the energy to do that, but he got that shoulder up and keeps his dream alive for another minute here!
Jace nails Stevens with a few stiff rights as he picks him back up to his feet and quickly pulls off a gutwrench powerbomb that lays Stevens out in the middle of the ring as jace points to the turnbuckles.
Joe Hoffman: No… he’s not thinking about that…
Benny Newell: Oh I think he is Joe. He is about to end Stevens is spectacular fucking fashion!
Jace starts to climb the turnbuckles… slowly as his body has been drained from the match. He reaches the top and turns around to the body of Stevens still laid out on the mat. Jace balances himself on the top ropes as he leaps off and executes the midair backflip…
Joe Hoffman: Shooting star press by Jace….
Benny Newell: The Awakening! The Awakening! Goodnight Stevens.
Everyone is hoping that Stevens pops off the mat and nails Jace with a midair Toxic Sting. But there is disappoint in the air as Jace hits the ground and Stevens as Boettcher is right there for the cover by Jace.
ONE………………………………
TWO………………………………………………..
THREE…………………………………………………………………………
Benny Newell: Suck on….
Joe Hoffman: Jace re….
Benny Newell: Don’t cut me off!!!! My dick…. Suck on my dick!!!!
Joe Hoffman: Jace retains!
DING DING DING
Bryan McVay: The winner of this match in 17:34…… AND STILL HOW WORLD CHAMPION…. JACE P. DAVIDSON!!!!!!!!!!
Joe Hoffman: Holy mother of Jesus that was a freaking epic match Benny! Scott Stevens came so close…. So darn close to winning that HOW World Title tonight but it was just out of his reaches. Maybe if he didn’t just compete in that six man tag he would have had more in the tank. But he pushes jace to the limit tonight and it took a shoot star press from the World Champion to put Stevens down.
Benny Newell: Don’t give him more credit than he deserves. Stevens was never in this….
Joe Hoffman: No Benny! No! I’m not gonna sit here and listen to you put Stevens down again and again! He put up one hell of a fight tonight! He has proven that he deserve this spot. That he deserves to be battling for that HOW World title with people like Jace. This match could have easily gone the other way and we could have seen Scott Stevens as our new HOW World Champion.
Benny Newell: Sure thing Joe… stroke the Scott Stevens boner you have… but the fact is he is NOT the World champion. That honor belong to THE MAN…. Jace P. Davidson!
We see Boettcher hand Jace the World title and raise his arm in victory as Stevens rolls out of the ring… completely dejected that he has blown what was a golden opportunity. But he holds his head high regardless… knowing that he put on a hell of a show… and people took notice today. That people will believe that he belongs here… that he can win the HOW World Title.
Jace exits the ring with the World Title to a chorus of boos as Mayhem cuts away with the final images of Jace P. Davidson holding the HOW World Title high above his head once again… still as your HOW World Champion.
Joe Hoffman: Ladies and Gentlemen tonight is a special night as Jason P. Davidson gives an opportunity to a mystery challenger as he defends the HOW world heavyweight championship here tonight. The question on everyone’s mind whose it going to be?
