TRUE WRESTLING: ADRENALINE
9/28/2012
TRUE WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE WORLD NUMBER ONE CONTENDER MATCH
BRAD JACKSON vs. MARK DEVEREAUX vs. “SCORPION” SCOTT STEVENS
Kaycee Jay - Ladies and gentlemen, this MAIN EVENT match of the evening is a three-way elimination match to determine the number one contender to the TRUE Wrestling Championship of the World! Introducing first...
The lights dim, heavy mist fills the ramp as strobe lights begin to pulse slowly. A steady bass throb begins, growing in volume, sounding much like a heartbeat. A single gunshot shatters the silence, followed by mocking laughter and Jackson's voice hurling insults before the music skips, and then the sounds of "Lies" by Evanescence filters through the speakers.
Kaycee Jay - ...from Reno, Nevada weighing in at two-hundred and thirty-five pounds...
Dark red strobes pulsate on the entranceway; illuminated in the shadows by a shower of red pyrotechnics is the unmistakable, heavily tattooed silhouette of a man.
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies through so many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
The screen crackles to life, showing heavy static that gradually fades to black. Blood drips from the top of the TRUE-Vision, forming words: “Fear the Darkness. Fear the Unknown. Fear ME!”
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
Kaycee Jay - ...BRAD JACKSON!
Jackson stalks down the ramp with his baseball bat in hand, pausing for a second before he remembers that his wife isn't in attendance. Shaking his head, he climbs into the ring and immediately points at the camera before pounding his fist against his chest. Pulling himself up on the apron, he glares out at the crowd, holding his bat aloft to huge heat before stepping between the ropes and stalking towards the center of the ring. Jackson stands there, his head thrown back in a triumphant roar as the music comes to a grinding halt, cut off with a squeal of feedback.
Kaycee Jay - ...and his opponent...
The TRUE-Vision lights up with the opening chords of “Epic” by Faith No More.
Kaycee Jay - ...from Dearborn, Michigan weighing in at two-hundred and fifty-six pounds...
While the entrance video of the "Working Class Warrior" plays on the giant screen, the fans begin stomping on the ground to the bass drum and slapping their chairs and the crowd barrier with the beat of the snare. Loud and proud "WAR-RI-OR!" chants with the kick-snare.
Kaycee Jay - ...Mark DEVEREAUX!
Mark Devereaus lightly jogs out from behind the curtain, stopping at the top of the ramp. He puts his hand up to his brow and motions that he is looking over the entire arena before pounding his right fist on his chest and pointing out at all in attendance. Mark Devereaus lightly jogs out from behind the curtain, stopping at the top of the ramp. He puts his hand up to his brow and motions that he is looking over the entire arena before pounding his right fist on his chest and pointing out at all in attendance. He starts walking down the ramp, reaching to slap the hands of the fans along the side with every other step. He climbs the ring steps and ducks inside the ropes. Once inside he climbs the turnbuckle facing the camera, points to the crowd, points to his heart, and then points to the ring. Finally, he raises his hands into the air and absorbs the explosive reaction from the crowd. He climbs down and begins stretching his arms by rotating them as the music fades.
Kaycee Jay - ...and their opponent...
The lights in the arena go pitch black for a few moments before the TRUE-Vision hums to life displaying in sharp red letters, "NOTHING SURVIVES MY STING!" Red lasers and spotlights illuminate the arena as Dave Mustaine's voice echoes over the booing crowd:
"I AM THE SCORPION, WHOA!"
Kaycee Jay - ...from Houston, Texas, weighing in at two-hundred and fifty-six pounds...
The jeering fans do their best to overwhelm the "I Stand Alone/Amazing" mash-up that draws "The Venomous One" from behind the curtain.
Kaycee Jay - ... "SCORPION" SCOTT STEVENS!
Scott Stevens makes his way down the ramp, trash talking the fans with every step and even draws back as if he’s going to hit a few of the more vocal bashers. Finally, reaching the ring, he goes up the steps and quickly up the nearest turnbuckle. He stares down at the crowd, an icy glare and then gestures a throat slash, pulling the glare to the ring as his hand moves across his throat and fixating his attention on Landon Divine. He drops down off of the turnbuckle and ducks through the ropes, entering the ring.
Austin McGreghor - All three men in the ring here for a match that has so much riding on it.
Ernie Turner - Not only will one of these men become the number one contender tonight, one of them will leave here one-hundred and forty-one thousand dollars richer!
Austin McGreghor - That’s correct. Should either Mark Devereaux or Brad Jackson eliminate Scott Stevens, they will be awarded the last installment of his contract in 2012!
Ernie Turner - After Stevens wins here tonight though, he will walk out with that bounty bonus on his last installment turning his ninety-three and three quarter fine into quite a pay day!
As the opening bell sounds, all three men begin to close the gap, each one looking at the others as they get closer and closer; Stevens closest to the near ropes while Jackson comes in from the far left and Devereaux from the far right. Senior Official Eldon Hamilton takes occupancy in the lower right corner, keeping out of the way for when the action... Jackson fires a right at Devereaux and Devereaux fires a return shot, the exchange continues a second and then Devereaux gets a third before Stevens intervenes, Devereaux fights both Stevens and Jackson off, one big right after another until Jackson goes down. Devereaux continues firing shots at Stevens, backing him into the left side ropes and then launching him; no, Stevens reverses and Devereaux goes across the ring. Stevens takes a kick to the chin, having telegraphed a back body drop. Stevens stumbles backward, adjusting his jaw and Devereaux clotheslines him up and over the top rope to the outside.
Ernie Turner - This is one of those matches where you have to have eyes in the back of your head McG!
Austin McGreghor - Yes indeed. You have to keep track of where everyone is or you could find yourself compromised and eliminated!
Devereaux crosses the ring to where Jackson has found his feet and is leaning against the ropes. Aware of his attacker, Jackson gets a quick kick into the guts of Devereaux and then spins him around against the ropes. Jackson stings Devereaux with a few quick jabs as they go up the right side ropes before rocking him with an uppercut into the far right corner. Jackson drapes Devereaux’s arms over the top ropes on each side of the corner and lights his chest up with a knife edge chop and then punches him in the face. Another knife edge chop followed by yet another punch in the face keeps Devereaux backed against the corner. A third knife edge chop, but the punch is blocked and Devereaux reverses things, slamming Jackson into the corner. Devereaux just unloads one big right after another before climbing up on the second rung rousing a count with each punch that he lands; one, two, three, four, five and at six
Jackson’s body collapses, but Devereaux keeps on as seven puts Jackson on his ass in the corner and eight, nine and ten are delivered as Devereaux steps down off of the turnbuckles to the canvas.
Austin McGreghor - The crowd behind each one of those as the Working Class Warrior just absolutely pummeled the grizzled veteran here!
Jackson has it about him, having taken his fair share of shots in his time, to shake some of it off and use the corner to lift his self back up as Devereaux checks on the location of Stevens and then fires up the crowd. Devereaux attempts to whip Jackson across, but is reversed and finds his self crashing into the near left corner. Devereaux catches Jackson coming in with a shoulder block out of the corner. Jackson goes to his knees in the center of the ring as Stevens trips Devereaux up under the bottom rope. Steven racks Devereaux’s groin against the steel ring post, pulling back hard with one of Devereaux’s boots in each hand. Stevens reaches in and grabs Devereaux’s arm to pull him out of the ring under the bottom rope. Stevens bounces Devereaux’s head off of the apron and then launches him into the corner of the crowd barrier at the foot of the ramp. Stevens turns around as Jackson uses the top rope to hurl a cross body that is caught in midair. Stevens carries Jackson to the other side of the ramp of Devereaux and drops him throat first across the crowd barrier.
Ernie Turner - Just like that, the man with everything to lose in this match, has firm control of it.
Austin McGreghor - He has just as much to win as any one of these other two guys.
Ernie Turner - I understand that, but he’s also the only one with anything to lose in the match.
Stevens drags Jackson back across the mats and tosses him hard into the ring post. Stevens takes a few steps back before charging with his entire muster directly into the post as Jackson dodged. Jackson gets a running side headlock and bulldogs Stevens down into the steel grating of the entrance ramp. With Stevens down, Jackson focuses on the stirring Devereaux. Jackson picks Devereaux up and slams him hard against the crowd barrier and then back across into the same steel ring post he had collided with prior. Jackson kicks the matting up off of the floor and snatches Devereaux up to body slam him down onto the exposed concrete. Jackson returns to Stevens, who is now crawling across the mats to the ring. Jackson picks Stevens up and tosses him into the ring. Jackson enters right behind him and is immediately to his feet and planting vicious kicks into the head and shoulders of Stevens. As Stevens finds his knees, Jackson gets a final kick in Steven’s guts and then picks him up by the ears only to blast him with a heavy right hand. Jackson lands a second right hand and a third before attempting to whip Stevens across the ring. Stevens blocks, doesn’t move at all, then reverses and Jackson is hurled into the near right corner chest first. Stevens follows in with an avalanche splash from behind.
Ernie Turner - The Scorpion just made a moldy old sandwich in the corner there!
Austin McGreghor - That was just sad.
Ernie Turner - What?
Austin McGreghor - I refuse to explain it to you. Jackson now, off of the ropes!
Stevens pushes Jackson against the near ropes, using the momentum to send him across the ring and to the far ropes. Stevens catches Jackson coming in hoisting him high into the air and letting him crash
down on the mat chest and stomach first. Jackson, clutching his chest and shoulders, is quickly up and Stevens plants a boot into the midsection, doubling him over. Stevens gets about a quarter to half of a TOXIC STING as Jackson was prepared for it and pushed most of the move away. Semi-effective all the same, Stevens goes for the cover!
1 ...
Ernie Turner - We could have an elimination right here!
2 ... ...
Thr... ...
Austin McGreghor - NO! He just didn’t get that entire move.
Stevens is immediately in the face of Senior Official Hamilton arguing a three-count. Hamilton adivses it was a two and that Stevens pay attention to his opponents. Stevens returns his attention to Jackson, who has willed his self to his knees and picks him up off of the mat. Stevens sends Jackson hard into the far ropes and attempts to take his head off with a lariat, but Jackson ducks, puts on the brakes and as Stevens turns around expecting a return from the near ropes, Jackson mule kicks him low in the left knee. Stevens goes down. Jackson goes to the top of the near right corner and goes for a flying fist drop, but Stevens rolled out of the way. Stevens jerks Jackson up by the impacted arm and winds up a wrist lock before delivering one, two and a third and final shoulder block, jerking the arm as he impacted the left side with each blow. A gut wrench suplex takes Jackson up and down hard. Stevens goes for another cover, hooking the leg.
1 ...
Ernie Turner - This has to be it!
2 ... ...
Austin McGreghor - Will Jackson be eliminated first here?
Thr... ... NO!
Again Stevens and Hamilton share words as Stevens demands a more timely count and Hamilton advises him that he counts the same pace and tempo each time. It was a very close two-count. On the left side apron, Devereaux has managed to find his way back to the ring and Stevens catches him with a forearm shot over the top rope, knocking him back down and out. Stevens leans on the top rope on the left side as Jackson uses the ropes on the opposite side to lean on and Devereaux uses the crowd barrier to hold his self up. Jackson slides out to the apron and uses the ropes to find his feet, but keeps his back to the approaching Stevens on the inside. Stevens pulls Jackson’s head back over the top rope and slaps his chest flipping him over and back in. Jackson crawls to his feet and turns around into a bear hug from Stevens. Jackson plants a thumb into Stevens’ eye, breaking the hold immediately. A swift kick to the midsection doubles Stevens over. From behind, Devereaux shoves Stevens into Jackson, knocking Jackson through the ropes and to the outside. Devereaux hoists Stevens up and flips him over to drop him head first; DEVEREAUX DRIVER! Lateral press with both legs hooked and pulling with all of his might!
1 ...
Ernie Turner - NO!
2 ... ...
Ernie Turner - NO!
3 ... ... ...
Ernie Turner - NO!
Austin McGreghor - Mark Devereaux is one-hundred and forty-one thousand dollars richer tonight!
Kaycee Jay - “SCORPION” SCOTT STEVENS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THIS MATCH!
Austin McGreghor - Scott Stevens will not be challenging Justin Michaels at TRINITY!
Stevens is stunned, but absolutely furious as he breaks loose of Devereaux and sits up in the center of the ring. Devereaux goes to the ropes waving both arms as the crowd explodes in cheers and “DEV-VER-REAUX” chants! Stevens is up and spins Devereaux around locking on a waist lock and before he can execute a belly to belly suplex the referee warns him that he will be fined should he interfere. “I’ve got nothing more to lose!” Stevens shouts, having lost that last installment of his contract in 2012, before throwing Devereaux over with the belly to belly suplex. Stevens then picks Devereaux up onto his shoulders and, Houston We Have a Problem, bounces him off of the mat with a Death Valley driver! Again, Senior Official Hamilton admonishes and attempts to pull Stevens off of Devereaux, but gets shoved down in the process.
Ernie Turner - He has absolutely nothing to lose McG and even if he did, I don’t think he would care at this point!
Austin McGreghor - There’s the thunder!
A loud crash of thunder echoes over the arena bringing Stevens attention to the entranceway as the TRUE Wrestling Champion of the World steps out onto the stage.
Ernie Turner - He can’t involve himself in this match or he’ll be fined too!
Stevens, dead locked on Justin Michaels at the top of the ramp with the coveted title belt snug around his waist, exits the ring and heads directly up the ramp. Stevens and Michaels clash together in a fury of rights and lefts at the top of the ramp. Neither with a sure advantage and both are landing heavy bombs, one after another.
Austin McGreghor - I don’t know that this would count as the Champion is not interfering with the actual match in the ring.
Back in the ring, Jackson has found his way to the apron and Devereaux has somehow found his feet. Closing the gap between them, Devereaux walks right into the grasp of Jackson as his throat is dropped across the top rope. Jackson, who usually rounds the entire ring before reentering, goes to the opposite side, up the stairs and up onto the top turnbuckle of the far left corner. As Devereaux forces his self back up, Jackson drops him back down with a double axe handle. Jackson for a quick cover, damned near folding Devereaux in half as he clinches both legs.
1 ...
Ernie Turner - Just this quick folks!
2 ... NO!
Devereaux kicks out! Jackson takes Devereaux’s head in his right hand and drills him with one straight left after another until the official pushes him away for using closed fists. Jackson is right back on with a blatant choke that he holds through a four-count. Jackson picks Devereaux up by the head only to snapmare him back down and kick him in his spine. Jackson locks on a chin hold and Hamilton is there to check. Devereaux screams, “NO!” as the crowd’s “DEV-VER-REAUX!” chants, stamping and chair percussion get louder. Jackson continues to pull Devereaux against his knee with his left hand under his chin while he uses his right hand to pull back on Devereaux’s nose and top lip. Hamilton counts once more to four before Jackson converts the hold into a seated sleeper hold, keeping firm pressure against Devereaux’s spine with his knee.
Austin McGreghor - Just brutal and unrelenting; Brad Jackson has the experience and know how to break any man!
The crowd is absolute hysterics as they continue to chant, cheer and rock the arena willing Devereaux to push both men to their feet. Devereaux breaks the sleeper, firing an elbow into the ribs, then another and a third before hitting the near ropes and taking a back elbow from Jackson. Jackson holds one finger of his left hand in the air, pointing to himself with his left hand as the crowd’s cheers turn to boos.
Austin McGreghor - Brad Jackson telling the crowd that he is the number one guy as Stormm and The Scorpion have now battled behind the curtain and I’m getting word from the back that they are continuing to fight backstage.
Jackson picks Devereaux up and pushes him back against the near right corner. Slap to the face and shove in the chest followed by another slap in the face before Jackson turns his back on Devereaux. Devereaux stalks Jackson out to the center of the ring as Jackson bad mouths all in attendance with his arms outstretched. Jackson turns around completely off guard and shocked to see that Devereaux is RIGHT THERE. Devereaux takes a jab then a straight right, completely no selling and inviting some more. Jackson hits him with everything; a jab, left hook, right cross and uppercut to no avail as Devereaux pumps up with the fans cheers and chants. Devereaux fires a standing clothesline taking Jackson down and further amping the crowd. Jackon is right back up and right back down with a vicious knife-edge chop. Jackson again bounces back up, almost as if on fumes and nothing more as he is again chopped down with a back elbow. Right back up!
Ernie Turner - Jackson is just getting bounced in there at this point.
Devereaux pushes Jackson against the far ropes and uses the momentum to fire him across the ring into the near ropes. BACK BODY DROP! Again, Devereaux picks him up and this time is right to left and telegraphed as Devereaux eats Jackson’s boot. Not much phase as Devereaux fires a shot to Jackson’s midsection and then hoists him up for a press slam! Jackson is bounced into the ropes and Devereaux can’t make a pin, so he picks him up and fires him into the far left corner. Avalanche splash as Devereaux sandwiches Jackson against the turnbuckles. Devereaux takes a few steps back to the center of the ring and charges again, but Jackson dodges and Devereaux goes chest first into the turnbuckles. Jackson goes through the ropes to the apron. Climbing the same turnbuckle from the outside, Jackson takes a stiff right in the guts that slows his climb, allowing Devereaux to meet him at the top with the advantage. With both men standing on the top rope, Devereaux sets up for a super-plex. Jackson fights, completely unwilling to go over and down in this type of high risk move, but Devereaux gets the best of him and the super-plex plants Jackson in the center of the ring hard!
Austin McGreghor - After a move like that a pin attempt is expected. Not so sure what Mark Devereaux is doing here!
Ernie Turner - I’m not so sure Mark Devereaux knows what Mark Devereaux is doing here!
Devereaux goes to the top turnbuckle of the near right corner and leaps off to plant a knee in Jackson’s chest, but Jackson somehow manages to roll at the blink of the last second and Devereaux drives his knee hard into the canvas. Jackson finds his way up as Devereaux clutches his knee and nurses his lower back. From the same corner, Jackson goes to the top rope and comes off driving all of his weight behind a flying fist drop into the back of Devereaux’s head. Both men down and gassed.
“TRUE IS AWESOME!”
The fans, actually chanting for both men and TRUE professional wrestling in general, are frenzied! As Devereaux is the first to stir, rolling to the ropes on the left nearest the entrance he notices Scott Stevens gingerly making his way back down the ramp to the ring. Distracted, this allows Jackson to get to his feet behind Devereaux. Jackson whips Devereaux to the opposite ropes. Devereaux holds on to the top rope as Jackson throws a mule kick into thin air. Devereaux quickly locks on the MOTOR CITY CLUTCH! Stevens slides in, blindsiding the referee and stomps the hold loose. He picks Devereaux up and drops him; TOXIC STING! Stevens rolls out as Jackson realizes Devereaux is down and... damn, so is the official. Jackson pulls Hamilton over as he makes a cover!
1 ...
Ernie Turner - Stevens just handed Jackson the win!
2 ... ...
Austin McGreghor - Like you said, he has nothing to lose at this point.
Thr... NO!
Jackson is up and pulls Hamilton as he falls backward into the near ropes. While Jackson complains to Hamilton about the slow count and then his shoulder, Stevens is back in behind the Senior Official’s back! Devereaux ducks a lariat and fights Stevens against the ropes on the left and then clotheslines him
out and over the top rope. Justin Michaels rushes back to ringside to cut Stevens off as he tries to reenter the ring a second time. Heavy rights from the Champion as Michaels and Stevens are again engaged in a fist to cuff on the ramp.
Ernie Turner - This is where Jackson needs to capitalize!
Inside the ring, Jackson snaps Devereaux around and misses a standing clothesline. A quick kick and Devereaux hooks Jackson, setting him up for his own move, INVERTED DOUBLE UNDERHOOK FACEBUSTER! Devereaux goes for the pin!
1 ...
Austin McGreghor - He used his own finisher against him!
2 ... ...
Ernie Turner - NO!
Thre... NO!
Austin McGreghor - I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!
The fans can barely contain themselves as the action continues in the ring! Devereaux catches a really low kick that doubles him over and Jackson misses him with a short-arm clothesline catching Senior Official Hamilton and taking him out completely. Devereaux takes Jackson by the throat, backing him into the far right corner. On the ramp, on the outside, Stevens had somehow or another compromised Michaels out of the view of the camera and dives in behind Devereaux taking him out with a forearm shot. Devereaux turns around right into the TOXIC STING!
Austin McGreghor - Again Stevens gets involved!
Ernie Turner - He has NOTHING to lose McG!
As Stevens rolls out, Jackson picks Devereaux up and returns the favor, hitting SOMETHING WICKED with defined authority! Shaking the absolute hell out of the older official, Hamilton comes to for the count.
1 ...
Ernie Turner - There’s no way he can kick out!
2 ... ...
Austin McGreghor - If he does, it will be a miracle!
3 ... ... ...
Austin McGreghor - Brad Jackson has won and it appears all kind of chaos is about to bust loose!
Jackson uses the far ropes to pull his self to his feet as Stevens is right back in under the bottom rope. Stevens goes to work on Devereaux and Jackson is soon to join in as they both stomp a mud hole from each side. Before they can walk it dry, Michaels is in the ring to return the favor from two weeks prior as he dispatches Stevens first and then Jackson tossing them through the ropes on opposite sides of the ring.
Ernie Turner - Awe look... a bromance blossoms with each show... disgusting!
Jackson and Stevens come together at the foot of the ramp. Jackson shoves Stevens away, obviously having not forgotten or forgiven Stevens for his action two weeks prior at WrestleFest. While Michaels helps Devereaux to his feet on the inside and complete breakdown occurs on the ramp and Stevens and Jackson fight their way up the steel entrance.
Austin McGreghor - Fans, keep in mind, we return to action on Friday, October 12 for Adrenaline. We will be live on the campus of Xavier University in the Cintas Center!
Ernie Turner - I think Scott Stevens and Brad Jackson just may fight all the way there the way they are going at it!
Austin McGreghor - Who will Mr. Rottentreats choose to challenge him for the TRUE Television Championship? Join us in two weeks! For Ernie Turner and all of us here at TRUE, I am Austin McGreghor! Good night!

Kaycee Jay - ...Mark DEVEREAUX!
Mark Devereaus lightly jogs out from behind the curtain, stopping at the top of the ramp. He puts his hand up to his brow and motions that he is looking over the entire arena before pounding his right fist on his chest and pointing out at all in attendance.

Ernie Turner - Not only will one of these men become the number one contender tonight, one of them will leave here one-hundred and forty-one thousand dollars richer!
Austin McGreghor - That’s correct. Should either Mark Devereaux or Brad Jackson eliminate Scott Stevens, they will be awarded the last installment of his contract in 2012!
Ernie Turner - After Stevens wins here tonight though, he will walk out with that bounty bonus on his last installment turning his ninety-three and three quarter fine into quite a pay day!
As the opening bell sounds, all three men begin to close the gap, each one looking at the others as they get closer and closer; Stevens closest to the near ropes while Jackson comes in from the far left and Devereaux from the far right.

Ernie Turner - Just like that, the man with everything to lose in this match, has firm control of it.
Austin McGreghor - He has just as much to win as any one of these other two guys.
Ernie Turner - I understand that, but he’s also the only one with anything to lose in the match.
Stevens drags Jackson back across the mats and tosses him hard into the ring post. Stevens takes a few steps back before charging with his entire muster directly into the post as Jackson dodged.

Jackson picks Stevens up and tosses him into the ring. Jackson enters right behind him and is immediately to his feet and planting vicious kicks into the head and shoulders of Stevens. As Stevens finds his knees, Jackson gets a final kick in Steven’s guts and then picks him up by the ears only to blast him with a heavy right hand. Jackson lands a second right hand and a third before attempting to whip Stevens across the ring. Stevens blocks, doesn’t move at all, then reverses and Jackson is hurled into the near right corner chest first. Stevens follows in with an avalanche splash from behind.
Ernie Turner - The Scorpion just made a moldy old sandwich in the corner there!
Austin McGreghor - That was just sad.
Ernie Turner - What?
Austin McGreghor - I refuse to explain it to you. Jackson now, off of the ropes!
Stevens pushes Jackson against the near ropes, using the momentum to send him across the ring and to the far ropes. Stevens catches Jackson coming in hoisting him high into the air and letting him crash
down on the mat chest and stomach first. Jackson, clutching his chest and shoulders, is quickly up and Stevens plants a boot into the midsection, doubling him over. Stevens gets about a quarter to half of a TOXIC STING as Jackson was prepared for it and pushed most of the move away. Semi-effective all the same, Stevens goes for the cover!
1 ...
Ernie Turner - We could have an elimination right here!
2 ... ...
Thr... ...
Austin McGreghor - NO! He just didn’t get that entire move.
Stevens is immediately in the face of Senior Official Hamilton arguing a three-count. Hamilton adivses it was a two and that Stevens pay attention to his opponents. Stevens returns his attention to Jackson, who has willed his self to his knees and picks him up off of the mat. Stevens sends Jackson hard into the far ropes and attempts to take his head off with a lariat, but Jackson ducks, puts on the brakes and as Stevens turns around expecting a return from the near ropes, Jackson mule kicks him low in the left knee. Stevens goes down. Jackson goes to the top of the near right corner and goes for a flying fist drop, but Stevens rolled out of the way. Stevens jerks Jackson up by the impacted arm and winds up a wrist lock before delivering one, two and a third and final shoulder block, jerking the arm as he impacted the left side with each blow. A gut wrench suplex takes Jackson up and down hard. Stevens goes for another cover, hooking the leg.

Ernie Turner - This has to be it!
2 ... ...
Austin McGreghor - Will Jackson be eliminated first here?
Thr... ... NO!
Again Stevens and Hamilton share words as Stevens demands a more timely count and Hamilton advises him that he counts the same pace and tempo each time. It was a very close two-count. On the left side apron, Devereaux has managed to find his way back to the ring and Stevens catches him with a forearm shot over the top rope, knocking him back down and out. Stevens leans on the top rope on the left side as Jackson uses the ropes on the opposite side to lean on and Devereaux uses the crowd barrier to hold his self up. Jackson slides out to the apron and uses the ropes to find his feet, but keeps his back to the approaching Stevens on the inside. Stevens pulls Jackson’s head back over the top rope and slaps his chest flipping him over and back in. Jackson crawls to his feet and turns around into a bear hug from Stevens. Jackson plants a thumb into Stevens’ eye, breaking the hold immediately. A swift kick to the midsection doubles Stevens over. From behind, Devereaux shoves Stevens into Jackson, knocking Jackson through the ropes and to the outside. Devereaux hoists Stevens up and flips him over to drop him head first; DEVEREAUX DRIVER! Lateral press with both legs hooked and pulling with all of his might!

Ernie Turner - NO!

Ernie Turner - NO!

Ernie Turner - NO!
Austin McGreghor - Mark Devereaux is one-hundred and forty-one thousand dollars richer tonight!
Kaycee Jay - “SCORPION” SCOTT STEVENS HAS BEEN ELIMINATED FROM THIS MATCH!
Austin McGreghor - Scott Stevens will not be challenging Justin Michaels at TRINITY!
Stevens is stunned, but absolutely furious as he breaks loose of Devereaux and sits up in the center of the ring. Devereaux goes to the ropes waving both arms as the crowd explodes in cheers and “DEV-VER-REAUX” chants! Stevens is up and spins Devereaux around locking on a waist lock and before he can execute a belly to belly suplex the referee warns him that he will be fined should he interfere. “I’ve got nothing more to lose!” Stevens shouts, having lost that last installment of his contract in 2012, before throwing Devereaux over with the belly to belly suplex. Stevens then picks Devereaux up onto his shoulders and, Houston We Have a Problem, bounces him off of the mat with a Death Valley driver! Again, Senior Official Hamilton admonishes and attempts to pull Stevens off of Devereaux, but gets shoved down in the process.
Ernie Turner - He has absolutely nothing to lose McG and even if he did, I don’t think he would care at this point!
Austin McGreghor - There’s the thunder!
A loud crash of thunder echoes over the arena bringing Stevens attention to the entranceway as the TRUE Wrestling Champion of the World steps out onto the stage.
Ernie Turner - He can’t involve himself in this match or he’ll be fined too!
Stevens, dead locked on Justin Michaels at the top of the ramp with the coveted title belt snug around his waist, exits the ring and heads directly up the ramp. Stevens and Michaels clash together in a fury of rights and lefts at the top of the ramp. Neither with a sure advantage and both are landing heavy bombs, one after another.
Austin McGreghor - I don’t know that this would count as the Champion is not interfering with the actual match in the ring.
Back in the ring, Jackson has found his way to the apron and Devereaux has somehow found his feet. Closing the gap between them, Devereaux walks right into the grasp of Jackson as his throat is dropped across the top rope. Jackson, who usually rounds the entire ring before reentering, goes to the opposite side, up the stairs and up onto the top turnbuckle of the far left corner. As Devereaux forces his self back up, Jackson drops him back down with a double axe handle. Jackson for a quick cover, damned near folding Devereaux in half as he clinches both legs.
1 ...
Ernie Turner - Just this quick folks!
2 ... NO!
Devereaux kicks out! Jackson takes Devereaux’s head in his right hand and drills him with one straight left after another until the official pushes him away for using closed fists. Jackson is right back on with a blatant choke that he holds through a four-count. Jackson picks Devereaux up by the head only to snapmare him back down and kick him in his spine. Jackson locks on a chin hold and Hamilton is there to check. Devereaux screams, “NO!” as the crowd’s “DEV-VER-REAUX!” chants, stamping and chair percussion get louder. Jackson continues to pull Devereaux against his knee with his left hand under his chin while he uses his right hand to pull back on Devereaux’s nose and top lip. Hamilton counts once more to four before Jackson converts the hold into a seated sleeper hold, keeping firm pressure against Devereaux’s spine with his knee.
Austin McGreghor - Just brutal and unrelenting; Brad Jackson has the experience and know how to break any man!
The crowd is absolute hysterics as they continue to chant, cheer and rock the arena willing Devereaux to push both men to their feet. Devereaux breaks the sleeper, firing an elbow into the ribs, then another and a third before hitting the near ropes and taking a back elbow from Jackson. Jackson holds one finger of his left hand in the air, pointing to himself with his left hand as the crowd’s cheers turn to boos.
Austin McGreghor - Brad Jackson telling the crowd that he is the number one guy as Stormm and The Scorpion have now battled behind the curtain and I’m getting word from the back that they are continuing to fight backstage.
Jackson picks Devereaux up and pushes him back against the near right corner. Slap to the face and shove in the chest followed by another slap in the face before Jackson turns his back on Devereaux. Devereaux stalks Jackson out to the center of the ring as Jackson bad mouths all in attendance with his arms outstretched. Jackson turns around completely off guard and shocked to see that Devereaux is RIGHT THERE. Devereaux takes a jab then a straight right, completely no selling and inviting some more. Jackson hits him with everything; a jab, left hook, right cross and uppercut to no avail as Devereaux pumps up with the fans cheers and chants. Devereaux fires a standing clothesline taking Jackson down and further amping the crowd. Jackon is right back up and right back down with a vicious knife-edge chop. Jackson again bounces back up, almost as if on fumes and nothing more as he is again chopped down with a back elbow. Right back up!
Ernie Turner - Jackson is just getting bounced in there at this point.
Devereaux pushes Jackson against the far ropes and uses the momentum to fire him across the ring into the near ropes. BACK BODY DROP! Again, Devereaux picks him up and this time is right to left and telegraphed as Devereaux eats Jackson’s boot. Not much phase as Devereaux fires a shot to Jackson’s midsection and then hoists him up for a press slam! Jackson is bounced into the ropes and Devereaux can’t make a pin, so he picks him up and fires him into the far left corner. Avalanche splash as Devereaux sandwiches Jackson against the turnbuckles. Devereaux takes a few steps back to the center of the ring and charges again, but Jackson dodges and Devereaux goes chest first into the turnbuckles. Jackson goes through the ropes to the apron. Climbing the same turnbuckle from the outside, Jackson takes a stiff right in the guts that slows his climb, allowing Devereaux to meet him at the top with the advantage. With both men standing on the top rope, Devereaux sets up for a super-plex. Jackson fights, completely unwilling to go over and down in this type of high risk move, but Devereaux gets the best of him and the super-plex plants Jackson in the center of the ring hard!
Austin McGreghor - After a move like that a pin attempt is expected. Not so sure what Mark Devereaux is doing here!
Ernie Turner - I’m not so sure Mark Devereaux knows what Mark Devereaux is doing here!
Devereaux goes to the top turnbuckle of the near right corner and leaps off to plant a knee in Jackson’s chest, but Jackson somehow manages to roll at the blink of the last second and Devereaux drives his knee hard into the canvas. Jackson finds his way up as Devereaux clutches his knee and nurses his lower back. From the same corner, Jackson goes to the top rope and comes off driving all of his weight behind a flying fist drop into the back of Devereaux’s head. Both men down and gassed.
“TRUE IS AWESOME!”
The fans, actually chanting for both men and TRUE professional wrestling in general, are frenzied! As Devereaux is the first to stir, rolling to the ropes on the left nearest the entrance he notices Scott Stevens gingerly making his way back down the ramp to the ring. Distracted, this allows Jackson to get to his feet behind Devereaux. Jackson whips Devereaux to the opposite ropes. Devereaux holds on to the top rope as Jackson throws a mule kick into thin air. Devereaux quickly locks on the MOTOR CITY CLUTCH! Stevens slides in, blindsiding the referee and stomps the hold loose. He picks Devereaux up and drops him; TOXIC STING! Stevens rolls out as Jackson realizes Devereaux is down and... damn, so is the official. Jackson pulls Hamilton over as he makes a cover!
1 ...
Ernie Turner - Stevens just handed Jackson the win!
2 ... ...
Austin McGreghor - Like you said, he has nothing to lose at this point.
Thr... NO!
Jackson is up and pulls Hamilton as he falls backward into the near ropes. While Jackson complains to Hamilton about the slow count and then his shoulder, Stevens is back in behind the Senior Official’s back! Devereaux ducks a lariat and fights Stevens against the ropes on the left and then clotheslines him
out and over the top rope. Justin Michaels rushes back to ringside to cut Stevens off as he tries to reenter the ring a second time. Heavy rights from the Champion as Michaels and Stevens are again engaged in a fist to cuff on the ramp.
Ernie Turner - This is where Jackson needs to capitalize!
Inside the ring, Jackson snaps Devereaux around and misses a standing clothesline. A quick kick and Devereaux hooks Jackson, setting him up for his own move, INVERTED DOUBLE UNDERHOOK FACEBUSTER! Devereaux goes for the pin!
1 ...
Austin McGreghor - He used his own finisher against him!
2 ... ...
Ernie Turner - NO!
Thre... NO!
Austin McGreghor - I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!
The fans can barely contain themselves as the action continues in the ring! Devereaux catches a really low kick that doubles him over and Jackson misses him with a short-arm clothesline catching Senior Official Hamilton and taking him out completely. Devereaux takes Jackson by the throat, backing him into the far right corner. On the ramp, on the outside, Stevens had somehow or another compromised Michaels out of the view of the camera and dives in behind Devereaux taking him out with a forearm shot. Devereaux turns around right into the TOXIC STING!
Austin McGreghor - Again Stevens gets involved!
Ernie Turner - He has NOTHING to lose McG!
As Stevens rolls out, Jackson picks Devereaux up and returns the favor, hitting SOMETHING WICKED with defined authority! Shaking the absolute hell out of the older official, Hamilton comes to for the count.
1 ...
Ernie Turner - There’s no way he can kick out!
2 ... ...
Austin McGreghor - If he does, it will be a miracle!
3 ... ... ...
Austin McGreghor - Brad Jackson has won and it appears all kind of chaos is about to bust loose!
Jackson uses the far ropes to pull his self to his feet as Stevens is right back in under the bottom rope. Stevens goes to work on Devereaux and Jackson is soon to join in as they both stomp a mud hole from each side. Before they can walk it dry, Michaels is in the ring to return the favor from two weeks prior as he dispatches Stevens first and then Jackson tossing them through the ropes on opposite sides of the ring.
Ernie Turner - Awe look... a bromance blossoms with each show... disgusting!
Jackson and Stevens come together at the foot of the ramp. Jackson shoves Stevens away, obviously having not forgotten or forgiven Stevens for his action two weeks prior at WrestleFest. While Michaels helps Devereaux to his feet on the inside and complete breakdown occurs on the ramp and Stevens and Jackson fight their way up the steel entrance.
Austin McGreghor - Fans, keep in mind, we return to action on Friday, October 12 for Adrenaline. We will be live on the campus of Xavier University in the Cintas Center!
Ernie Turner - I think Scott Stevens and Brad Jackson just may fight all the way there the way they are going at it!
Austin McGreghor - Who will Mr. Rottentreats choose to challenge him for the TRUE Television Championship? Join us in two weeks! For Ernie Turner and all of us here at TRUE, I am Austin McGreghor! Good night!
