"TWISTS AND TURNS" OSCAR BURNS & SCOTT STEVENS vs. REINHARDT HOFFMAN & RHYS COLLINS
DDK:
When we first got the final rundown of tonight’s card, I have to say after the way things ended at DEFIANCE Road for both Oscar Burns and Scott Stevens… I thought I might have been sauced. Burns and Stevens fought with each other through that match with Alvaro de Vargas and Burns’ former protege, Jack Mace, and it practically led to their undoing.
Lance:
And I still can’t believe how that ended. Alvaro de Vargas with the biggest win of his career, pinning the former two-time FIST Oscar Burns. But on UNCUT, we saw Burns confront Stevens at Ballyhoo Brew and wanted to talk. And I guess some conversation there led to this match where two rivals who came up the ranks of DEFIANCE together are now teaming together.
DDK:
And they want to work in a tag team match against two of BRAZEN’s top technicians, including the first BRAZEN Champion Reinhardt Hoffman and Rhys Collins. If they want to test this partnership of theirs, they will be tested. Let’s go to Darren Quimbey for the intros!
And to Quimbey we go.
Darren Quimbey:
The following is a tag team contest set for one fall! Making their way to the ring, at a combined weight of 462 pounds… they are the team of REINHARDT HOFFMAN AND RHYS COLLINS!
♫ Dvořák Symphony No. 9 in E Minor, Op. 95 'From the New World' IV ♫
The fans give an array of boos for the first-ever BRAZEN Champion as he walks out with his training partner, Rhys Collins, discussing strategy amongst themselves. They get into the ring. Nothing fancy, no pyro, none of that. Just straight-ahead focus for what could be a career-making win if they pull this out.
Darren Quimbey:
And their opponents, first from Wellington, New Zealand… weighing in at 237 pounds… ”TWISTS AND TURNS” OSCAR BURNS!
♫ "Raise Your Flag” by MAN WITH A MISSION ♫
The Technical Spectacle makes his way out and the response is THUNDEROUS! Wearing his brand new gold and white “I LIKE GRAPS!” t-shirt and matching colored gear, Burns heads down. Oscar looks at the surroundings and eyes the ring once before he enters. He warms up in the ring and with the Faithful responding in kind! He raises one finger in the air and leans against the middle rope before he takes off his t-shirt and tosses it into the crowd.
“A TEXAS SIZE ASS WHOOPIN IS COMING BOY!”
The slow bellow of the guitar hits as 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 jeers that had once filled the arena quickly turn into cheers. The Faithful know who is about to walk out and they are letting him know it by chanting his favorite chant as the final image that is displayed across the screen and that message reads in bold, capitalized letters… SCOTT STEVENS as…
Darren Quimbey:
And his partner… from The Great State of Texas, weighing in at 256 pounds…He is….SCOTT! STEEEEEEEVEEEEEEEENS!
♫ “Dead Man Walking" by Crucifix ft. The Lacs ♫
The wait is finally over as a spotlight shines towards the top of the entrance ramp and Scott Stevens appears from behind the curtain, and as soon as he makes his way to the edge of the stage golden pyro begins to rain down behind him as he raises his right fist high into the air. He heads to the ring, stares down Burns briefly, then climbs into the ring. Rhys Collins will start for his team while Burns and Stevens try to decide. Unlike their in-fighting… Burns stands aside to let Stevens take the wheel. The bell rings.
DING DING
DDK:
Oh my… did Burns and Stevens agree on something? Cats and dogs aren’t marrying each other, are they, Lance?
Lance:
I don’t know what this partnership is, but you’d have to think if they can be on the same page then Oscar Burns and Scott Stevens could be a formidable force!
Scott and Rhys lock up, middle of the ring fiercely! Rhys tries to get Scott over, but the bigger wrestler manages to snapmare Collins over to the mat. He tries to lock in a a chinlock early, but Rhys quickly turns it around and then now has Stevens grounded with a hammerlock. He stands over him looking pretty proud of himself and then tries to lead Stevens up. He tries twisting the Angry Texan into a crossface chickenwing early, but Stevens BASHES his way out with an elbow to a nice pop from the crowd!
DDK:
Wow! That’s one way to break a hold!
Stevens then LIGHTS up Collins with chops and then throws him at his corner. He runs in and CLOBBERS him now with a big corner clothesline! The crowd cheers when Stevens stares coldly at Burns… and then tags him in!
Lance:
Wow! Maybe they decided to give this an honest go!
Burns gets into the ring and plasters Collins with a pair of hard European uppercuts! The Brit gets rocked before Burns grabs his leg and then SNAPS him down using a huge dragon screw. Burns then grabs the leg and twists it around into a cross knee lock on the mat! He has Rhys dead to rights, but Collins scrambles and grabs the ropes before significant damage can be done.
DDK:
There we go! Smart by Collins, but Burns can do all the mat wrestling as well!
Lance:
Burns now backing Collins to his corner. And… whoa!
Stevens gestures at Burns and he grabs his own partner by the arm. He aids Burns with a whip, CRACKING Rhys with a huge running European uppercut! The blow rocks him, but it goes from bad to worse when Burns throws Collins at Stevens and into the path of a huge Double S Spinebuster! The crowd cheers as Stevens goes for the first cover!
ONE… TWO…
DDK:
No! Reinhardt with the save!
Lance:
But… we just saw Oscar Burns and Scott Stevens execute a double-team! What is going on here!
Scott tries to punish Collins some more with another chop before a throw to the corner. Scott backs off and then runs forward to try a stinger splash, but before he can get there, Hoffman PULLS his partner out of the corner! He stumbles back while Collins takes advantage. He leaps to the middle rope then heads off with a missile dropkick… to Stevens’ knee!
DDK:
Cheap shot by Collins to the knee! Now tag to Reinhardt!
The first-ever BRAZEN Champion has a chance to make his mark so he does… to the head of Stevens with a knee trembler to the head! The shot connects and Hoffman goes for what would be the biggest win of his career!
ONE… TWO...NO!
DDK:
Close one there by Hoffman and Collins! These men were both the product of the Conclave dojo before BRAZEN, which is a vicious training regimen!
Lance:
Hoffman tags back to Collins and they’ve singled out the leg of Stevens!
Scott tries to fight back against Hoffman, but the Gentleman German stomps at his knee to keep him from fighting back. He then places his leg on the bottom rope, then leaps and drops his weight down on the knee! Collins follows up by grabbing the knee then snapping off to the side! Stevens howls out in pain, but Rhys gets up again and then applies a vicious Indian deathlock submission to single out the knee! Burns watches as Stevens yells out again. When Navarro asks if he wants to quit, Stevens tells him to go suck a lemon… but he doesn’t really say lemon.
Lance:
That’s an answer if I’ve ever heard one.
DDK:
He’s gotta break free, but Rhys Collins has him grounded. Stevens trying to get to the ropes!
He does, but Hoffman CLAWS at him from the ring apron! The referee forces a break and Hoffman lets go, but he’s done the damage. The Technical Spectacle starts to reach a hand out and yells out at Scott to guide him, but Scott is too busy trying to see. Everyone’s Favorite Texan gets singled out Hoffman who tags in again. He tries to go for the leg with a cross-legged submission, but Stevens elbows way out before getting to his feet. He stands up and gets…
DDK:
REMEMBER THE ALAMO!
The superkick connects and he crumbles to the mat, but Stevens favors his knee. Hoffman gets laid out and Rhys goes into a panic, trying to guide Hoffman his way. He crawls to Burns… and the tag gets made by Collins first. He goes in and tries to grab Stevens by the knee, but he kicks him away….
Lance:
THERE’S THE TAG! BURNS IS IN NOW!
The Faithful go bananas and all manner of other fruit when Burns CRACKS Collins as he comes in with a running high knee to the head. He knocks Collins down, but picks him up again and then whips him across the ring. He runs at him in the corner and then floors him with a big running European uppercut! After clobbering him one way, he whips him across the ring and hits him with a running European uppercut then follows up with the Back-Crack-a-Ma-Jig!
DDK:
Back-Crack-a-ma-jig! He’s dropped him with that vicious belly to back into the backbreaker!
Burns then looks out to the crowd, then smiles… THEN LOCKS IN THE GRAPS OF WRATH I!
Lance:
There we go! Octopus Hold! The Graps of Wrath I!
He has Collins TWISTED up when Hoffman tries to come back… but Scott Stevens cuts him off at the pass by tripping him up, then twisting him around into the sharpshooter that he calls Arachonophobia! The crowd roars for the two former world champions coming together as Burns cranks back on the hold on Collins… TAP TAP TAP!
Darren Quimbey:
Here are your winners of the match… SCOTT STEVENS AND OSCAR BURNS!
The two former FISTs of DEFIANCE drop their respective submissions on their opponents as the Faithful start roaring in approval!
DDK:
I don’t know what kind of talk these two had a couple of weeks ago, but it seemed to work.
Lance:
That’s true! And… uh-oh, Scott wants a microphone.
The music goes quiet. Hoffman helps Collins limp their way back to the back while Stevens and Burns remain on the inside.
Scott Stevens:
I hate this Kiwi fucker right next to me. And likely, I wouldn’t waste piss on him if he was on fire.
Burns rolls his eyes, but Scott has a hand up before he gets to his next point.
DDK:
Maybe that talk wasn’t all that productive?
Scott Stevens:
And I’m sure he’d say the same. I tried to end his career and he took a title shot that belonged to me. We’ve put each other through the fucking wringer, but the one thing that hasn’t changed is that he and I WORKED for this shit and put in the time… and now, Burns’ former little buddy and Alvaro Duh Fuckass or whatever is name is…
The crowd laughs at that one.
Scott Stevens:
They and that Tom Morrow asshole think they’re gonna get famous at OUR expense?
Burns motions for the microphone and Stevens forks it over.
Oscar Burns:
God help me… Scotty’s right. He’s a bloody shitbag, as I like to remind him at every opportunity… but after how we BOTH got screwed over by Better Future… call me chuffed. Call me STROPPY. Call me ready to KICK THEIR BLOODY ASSES!
The crowd ROARS now.
Oscar Burns:
Jack Mace… you son of a bitch… I still don’t know why you turned on me and after I gave you one chance to explain yourself…
He clutches the microphone, still burning with anger over his former protege’s betrayal.
Oscar Burns:
And quite frankly, I don’t care why you did it. What you are going to do, Jackie, is REGRET the decision you made by selling your soul to that piece of trash, Tom Morrow. That’s why Scotty and I want a rematch from DEFIANCE Road! Us against Alvaro de Vargas and you, Jackie… in two weeks on DEFtv One-Fifty!
The Faithful’s reaction grows even crazier now!
Oscar Burns:
And Alvaro, at DEFIANCE Road, you pinned me and I can’t change that. Biggest win of your career… but you didn’t do it by yourself. Next time we meet in this ring… I will RIP YOU APART one limb at a time!
The microphone gets tossed out of the ring by Burns. He and Stevens nod at one another and then leave the ring to mass cheers from the crowd.
DDK:
What a rematch that would be! Will Tom Morrow and Better Future accept?
Lance:
I don’t know, but if they do… that will be something!
Oscar Burns and Scott Stevens - once-former rivals ready to practically finish the other’s career at one point - now raise their hands for the Faithful as the scene goes to break.
