ACE QUALIFIER: SCOTT STEVENS vs. SCOTT DOUGLAS
Scott Douglas comes through the curtain and heads straight for the ring. As he makes it about halfway, Benny Doyle comes hustling out of the back and passed Douglas on the way to the ring.
DDK:
The fanfare was cut a bit short but ACE IN THE HOLE starts now!
In the ring, Scott Stevens has had to shake off the anger and get his head into a match. It doesn’t look like he is fairing to well.
Angus:
Let’s hope, Scotty can take Steven’s head off on his way to qualifying!
“Sub Pop” Scott makes it the and ring and enters. Benny Doyle calls for the bell.
DING! DING!
DDK:
Here we go, folks!
The pair circle briefly as Douglas steps into lockup but he reaches out and grabs nothing as Scott Stevens drops down and rolls out of the ring. The former FIST paces back and forth at ringside, still seething. Benny Doyle begins the count as the Faithful jeer. A handful at ringside hurl insults at Stevens as he bides his time.
Angus:
Come on! Get in there and get your ass kicked!
DDK:
This isn’t a terrible strategy here by Scott Stevens. He was obviously caught off guard and if he can’t get his emotions in check, he’s bound to make mistakes.
Stevens feigns as if he is going to enter the ring, with one knee up on the apron, but quickly backs away.
Angus:
If he wasn’t out here whining like a little bitch with a skint knee … he would have been in the back where someone would have told him he has a match! How about that!?
Stevens calls for Benny Doyle to get Douglas back before he’ll enter. Scott Douglas doesn’t seem to be advancing on Stevens’ low ground but nonetheless as Doyle capitulates and the count in interrupted.
DDK:
Sportsmanship and ethics aside, I maintain this isn’t a bad strategy, Angus. Scott Stevens is essentially… icing the kicker here.
Angus:
Einhorn is Stevens. Stevens is Einhorn!
With Douglas backed into a neutral corner opposite of Scott Stevens’ ringside position, the former FIST finally climbs back up to the apron.
DDK:
What?
Angus:
That’s none of your damn business and I’d thank you to stay out of my personal affairs.
Doyle insists Stevens return to the ring with Douglas clear across the other side but Stevens instead jaw jacks the official, biding more time.
Angus:
Strategy, my ass!
Finally, Stevens enters the ring. Doyle holds a hand out signaling for Douglas to stay put until Stevens is completely in and ready. Doyle checks and a highly perturbed and petulant Scott Stevens eventually gives the “ok.”
Angus:
Finally! LETS GO!
The Scotts approach the center of the ring and stop short of one another by a foot or so. Words are traded back and forth but they aren’t completely picked up on the camera audio.
SMACK!!
Suddenly, Scott Stevens cocks back and open hand slaps Scott Douglas. The slap turns Douglas’ head with its force but his feet remain planted and steady. He slowly turns back to the former FIST with narrowed eyes and … the Faithful ignite.
Angus:
Now that's more like it!
DDK:
Scott Stevens and Scott Douglas are shooting it out in the middle of the ring!
The two trade several blows back and forth until Stevens lands the final shot; stumbling Douglas back toward the ropes. Stevens follows and leans into Douglas before Irish whipping DEFIANCE’s Favorite Son across the ring. On the return, Stevens plows through Douglas with an incredible violent Lariat. Scott Douglas nearly cuts a flip before crashing down to the canvas. Instinct alone brings Scott Douglas quickly back to his feet but where the body is willing the mind hasn’t quite caught up. Dazed and confused, Douglas, not completely vertical, stumbles into a knee-trembler.
CRRAAACCCKK!!
The sound off knee brace on skull echo through the first ten rows.
DDK:
Don’t Mess With Texas!
Angus:
Hey! Who’s side are you on!?
Douglas crashes to the canvas with his right hand clutching the side of his head, a small amount of blood trickles through his fingers. The paying audience boo’s the former FIST.
DDK:
That’s what Scott Stevens calls that particular knee strike.
Angus:
Ehhh, putz! Before you ask … BOTH of YOU!
Stevens pulls Douglas up from the mat with a handful of hair. Official Benny Doyle warns one third of the Trio’s Champions but he is ignored. Stevens pulls Douglas in and lifts him up in Vertical Suplex, sending him crashing back down as fast as he went up. Unrelenting, Stevens rolls the pair over and back up for a second. And a third.
DDK:
Scott Stevens in full control here, yet not a single pin attempt made!
Angus:
We both know it’ll take more than that to put down Seattle’s greasiest son, Keebs!
Stevens knows that as well or he is still letting his anger get the best of him. Either way, he pulls Douglas back to his feet once again and whips him into the corner. Douglas hits the turnbuckles and is slumped by the impact. Stevens charges.
DDK:
Scorpion SPLASH!
The Angry Texan crashes down on Douglas and for the former SoHer; it looks like it’s lights out. Stevens isn’t done just yet though, he backs himself to the far corner and once again comes charging toward Douglas with a head full of steam.
DDK:
And another!
Third time for luck, it would seem as Douglas is out on his feet and supported by the ropes. Stevens backs to the far corner once more. Charges.
DDK:
And …
Angus:
Move dumbass!
Almost on cue, Scott Douglas does just that … or at least he collapses away from the splash zone. Scott Stevens comes crashing down on the turnbuckle at a high angle.
Angus:
Holy shit! Did he hear me!?
DDK:
I highly doubt it but going back to the well one too many times has come back to bite Scott Stevens! He should have put this one to bed when he had the chance! Now he may not get that chance! I’m not so sure he didn’t get a piece of that ring post with his head!
Stevens stumbles back from the corner as Douglas pulls himself up from a knee with the help of the ropes. Stevens has clearly rung his own bell and looks to be on his way down already when Scott Douglas leaps toward him with a knee strike intended for the head but may have caught more of the shoulder. Both hit the canvas and after a quick welfare check, Benny Doyle starts the standing ten.
ONE!
DDK:
This is anyone’s match! Scott Stevens has neutralized Scott Douglas … well and Scott Stevens!
Stevens' right eyebrow begins to show a little color as it mixes with the sweat a small stream trickles down the side of his face.
TWO!
Scott Douglas is stirring but he isn’t yet making any attempt at a return to vertical standing.
THREE!
Scott Stevens has yet to make any move or motion that would imply consciousness.
FOUR!
Douglas inches himself toward Angus’ Least Favorite Texan but remains down.
FIVE!
Douglas flings an arm over Scott Stevens. The Faithful boil over with hope and anticipation.
DDK:
COVER!
Doyle stops the ten count and drops down from the pin attempt.
ONE!
TW --
KICK OUT!
Doyle signals toward Douglas the incomplete count, Douglas doesn’t seem to register it but he also isn’t arguing it. He crawls on his hands and knees to the nearest rope and pulls himself to his feet. He is vertical but ailing as he tries to physically shake the cobwebs loose. All the while Stevens is getting to his feet on the opposite side of the ring, moving a little better but looks just as worse for the wear.
Angus:
Knock his stupid Texan head off!
The dazed pair stumble toward the center of the ring and meet once again in the middle … Douglas cocks back and throws a punch. It’s weak and from the onset looks to completely ineffectual but we never get to find out as an equally weak block from Stevens stops its attempt. Stevens returns fire and much like Douglas’ last volley, this doesn’t look like it would do much even if it landed.
DDK:
Douglas ducks!
A toe kick from Douglas folds Stevens in half and Sub Pop grabs the standing side headlock. His grip is weak and both men are on spaghetti legs as he pulls Stevens right arm over his own head. It’s sloppy, but that is the set up.
DDK:
This could be it, partner! Sub Pop Suplex!
As Darren suggests, Douglas attempts. The first lift doesn’t quite have the strength behind it and Stevens ends up back on his feet momentarily. A struggle ensues between attempts but a quick knee to the midsection while tied up in set up of the hold allows for a follow up. Scott Douglas bares down …
DDK:
SUB POP SUPLEX!!
The Faithful go wild as Scott drives Scott’s head into the canvas with what might be the worst looking Fisherman’s Brainbuster ever aired on DEFIANCE TV.
Angus:
COVER HIM YOU IDIOT!
Douglas flips over and covers Stevens as Doyle drops down to make the count.
ONE!
Scott Douglas hedges his bet and reaches for the leg.
TWO!
Hooks it.
THREE!!!
DING DING DING
The Faithful nearly tears the roof off the Wrestle-Plex.
DDK:
Scott Douglas wins! … and qualifies for the ACE in The HOLE!!
A slightly bloody Scott Douglas rolls off a similarly slightly blood Scott Stevens and manages to make it to his knees for Benny Doyle to raise his hand in victory.
Darren Quimbey:
And your winner by way of PINFALL … and first qualifier for the ACE IN THE HOLE … “Sub POP” SCOTTTTT DOOOOUUUGLASSSSSS!!!!
Angus:
Took him long enough to put away that moron!
Doyle drops Douglas’ hand and rather than attempt to stand he just falls to side and rolls to the apron.
DDK:
Hell of a match and I think I speak for nearly everyone here in attendance … we’d all LOVE to see DEFIANCE’s Favorite Son in the running for the FIST of DEFIANCE!
Douglas is slowly making his exit as Stevens has come to in the ring… and he is none too pleased.
Angus:
I'm guessing you don’t speak for him …
Stevens rolls out of the ring and grabs the microphone from Darren Quimbey
Scott Stevens:
This is fucking bullshit!
Stevens yells as the Faithful boo as the Texan holds the back of his head.
Scott Stevens:
Shut the fuck up Filth!
Stevens says as he snatches a cup of beer from a fan and tosses it back into his face.
Scott Stevens:
You see that bullshit, Kelly Evans?!?!?!?!?
Stevens shouts as he doubles over breathing heavily into the microphone.
Scott Stevens:
Scott Douglas is a CHEATER!
Stevens shouts and the jeers intensify.
Scott Stevens:
Douglas kneed me in the nuts…..
Stevens says still heavily breathing.
Scott Stevens:
Make this right Kelly!
Stevens shouts and spits at a disorderly fan.
Scott Stevens:
DISQUALIFY HIS ASS AND GIVE ME WHAT I DESERVE!
Stevens says as he heads up the ramp.
DDK:
Stevens being a sore loser and coming up with excuses to justify his loss.
Angus:
I know Keebs! If he had nuts, to begin with, I might believe him, but he doesn’t so he can go home and take the sand out of his vagina there and pout in private.
Cut to commercial.
