The lights dim and smoke fills the entrance way as "Blackened The Sun" by Tech N9ne hits as we see Anson LaRue making his way out from backstage.
Bryan McVay: The following is an Omar Rasheem Group LBI match up… first making his way to the ring from Queens, New York and weighing in at 268 pounds… he is “Sadistic” Anson LaRue!!!
Joe Hoffman: Well tonight Anson make his television debut in HOW, after he had a dark match at ICONIC against Shayne Adams. But tonight he has a much tougher opponent in the ICON champion Scott Stevens.
Benny Newell: Bullshit Joe…. Look at this monster; he is going to destroy Stevens. Put that cocky little fuck in his place.
LaRue slides into the ring as Hortega tries to check him over, but LaRue just shoves him away.
Joe Hoffman: An impressive specimen is LaRue… but one has to question his focus on HOW… his understanding of the rules and the talent here. He is very green to this level of competition that pure size and power can’t always just power through.
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, but it’s not just a normal level of booing. It’s a booing of pure hatred as an electric guitar wails throughout the PA system and the words of Dave Mustaine's voice echoes throughout the arena.
Bryan McVay: And his opponent from Houston, Texas and weighing in at 256 pounds… he is the HOW ICON Champion… Scott Stevens!!!
The jeering intensifies as the instrumental after the chorus hits the speakers, drawing out the reigning High Octane Wrestling Icon champion. Walking down the aisle, he talks trash the entire way 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 the crown, an icy glare and the throat slash gesture his only actions as he drops to the mat.
Joe Hoffman: Well it is test time for LaRue who will really get to see what HOW is all about. Sink or swim time for this rookie.
Hortega calls for the bell and this match gets underway as Stevens and LaRue lock up and we see Stevens gain quick control with a knee to the gut, a few hard rights and then a headbutt that knocks LaRue down. Stevens then starts stomping LaRue’s joints before he starts dropping knees to his face with his knee brace.
Joe Hoffman: The ICON champion is asserting himself early in this match as tries to take care of the five see early and save his energy.
Stevens stalks LaRue as he gets back up to his feet and drop kicks him into the corner where he connects with an European upper cut.
Joe Hoffman: He calls that Debbie Does Dallas… for what reason I have no idea.
Benny Newell: How dare he soil such a fine piece of cinematic gold!
Stevens hits the ropes and nails LaRue with a hard lariat which lays him out and Stevens goes for the cover.
Uno….
Dos…….
Tres…….
Joe Hoffman: Shoulder up by LaRue just before the three!
Benny Newell: Just teasing Stevens Joe… just teasing him.
Stevens pulls LaRue to his feet and nails a haymaker punch as he goes for a belly to belly suplex but LaRue pushes him away and nails him with a superkick which stuns Stevens for a moment and allows LaRue to connect with the twisting neckbreaker. He then grabs Stevens and rolls him over and into a Darce Choke submission move as Hortega quickly dives to the ground to check on Stevens.
Joe Hoffman: Unholy Demise locked in by LaRue and this could be night over… we may have our first LBI upset!
Benny Newell: He’s out Joe! Out cold!
Stevens tries to break the hold as he rolls himself over and catches his foot on the bottom rope as Hortega calls for the hold to be broken. But LaRue will not break the hold, continuing to choke Stevens out.
Uno…..
Dos…….
Joe Hoffman: LaRue needs to break that hold or be DQed!
Tres…….
Cuatro…….
LaRue breaks the hold as Stevens grabs his throat, coughing to try and regain his breathe. LaRue wastes no time though as he grabs Stevens and pulls him out of the corner and into the ring as he kicks Stevens in the gut and lifts him up for a brainbuster.
Joe Hoffman: Looks like Oblivion time!
Benny Newell: Reversal!
Stevens kicks mid suplex and reverses the brainbuster into his own implant DDT. Stevens then locks in a crossface on LaRue as he now has the submission hold locked in.
Joe Hoffman: The Venomous Wrath of the Goddess Selket!!!
Benny Newell: What the fuck? That is a Crippler Crossface made famous by….
Joe Hoffman: LaRue breaks free!
An loose elbow connects to Steven’s face as LaRue busts free and up to his feet and lifts up Stevens into a fireman’s carry for his Devil’s Whisper finisher… but Stevens slips off his back and as LaRue turns around Stevens nails him with a stunner.
Joe Hoffman: Toxic Sting! Goodnight LaRue! Thanks for coming.
Stevens dives down and hooks the leg as he covers LaRue.
Uno….
Dos…….
Tres……..
DING DING DING
Bryan McVay: The winner of this match in 8:21 your HOW ICON Champion…. SCOTT STEVENS!!!!
Joe Hoffman: Well LaRue put up a solid fight, but the ICON champion prevailed and scored his first three points of the LBI as LaRue slips to a negative one points.
Benny Newell: Bullshit Joe, I saw Stevens tap to that Unholy shitter move.
Joe Hoffman: I disagree and it doesn’t matter as Stevens is your winner and now will move on to focus on John Sektor in three weeks where the ICON will be on the line.
Benny Newell: Where the ICON title comes home to the BA.
Hortega raises Stevens arm and hand him the ICON title as The Scorpion rolls out of the ring and makes his way backstage, having taken care of his business in the ring once again.
Joe Hoffman: Up next we have David Black taking on Pyscho Sam in his debut HOW match! Stay tuned.
