versus

"The Main Event" Freddy Ryder w/Stephanie

Singles Match

Referee: Chad Pattison

['So Whatcha You Want' by The Beastie Boys hits the PA system and Eyce storms out. He pumps up the crowd either side of the entrance platform, who react with boos. He gives up warming them up and runs all the way down, into the ring.]

JP: This guy has bags of confidence. I've heard he hasn't been getting one too well with Edward Walker as of late… or anyone on that scale.

Sully: This guy doesn't need friends - he's oozing with confidence.

Peter Santos: Introducing… from Los Angeles, weighing in at 224 pounds… EyCe!

['Cocky' by Kid Rock hits the PA system and an equal amount of boos flare up around the arena as Freddy Ryder makes his way down the ramp.]

Sully: Another one of my favourites. This guy likes to impress, and he's done just that to me!

JP: Can't say he has the same effect on me, Sully.

[Ryder, accompanied by Stephanie, slides into the ring, and taunts EyCe who doesn't seem too bothered. He points at Santos on the outside in a cocky way, as he introduces him.]

Peter Santos: And the opponent, from Chattanooga, Tennessee, weighing in at 234 pounds…'The Main Event' Freddy Ryder!

JP: This guy calls himself 'The Main Event', but it's gonna take a lot more effort if he wants to get there. He can start by winning the fans over.

Sully: Ha! Name one guy who's won it big by being a crowd ass-kisser!

JP: I can name plenty: The Jeopardizer, Anarkist, Ross Allen….

Sully: I said big stars, JP!

[The bell rings and the match begins. Both guys look ready as they lock up. Ryder takes down EyCe with a high knee, followed by a quick spinebuster. EyCe gets to his feet, but is taken down straight away again by Freddy Ryder. Ryder this time drops a quick timid elbow drop, and goes for the cover. Chad Pattison makes the count: 1… quick kick out from EyCe!]

JP: Ryder with a good positive start.

[EyCe locks up with Ryder, and pushes him into the corner; he goes for a chop, but Ryder cleverly ducks, and takes down EyCe with a drop-toe hold. He climbs the nearest turnbuckle and without hesitation, hits a quick elbow drop off the second rope. He goes for the cover again: 1… 2… EyCe manages to kick out again.]

Sully: Ryder is impressing me no end. But I've a feeling EyCe is gonna get back into this at any time.

JP: I'm not too sure, Sully. He can't seem to get into this match.

[Freddy Ryder seems to be enjoying the fact that he is kicking Eyce's ass at the moment. He is smiling and telling EyCe to "get the hell up". EyCe gets up to one knee, and as Ryder goes over he receives a stern right-hand to the stomach. Ryder doubles up and stumbled backward, giving EyCe the opportunity to pounce. The young guy from LA runs forward and hooks up Freddy for the 'EyCe Pick'.]

Sully: EyCe is gonna EyCe Pick Ryder!

JP: Already?! This can't be done. What is he thinking?

[EyCe grabs Ryder and lifts him up for a suplex. He struggles to keep him up in the air, and as a result, Ryder drops down to the side of EyCe. Ryder kicks EyCe in the groin and hooks him up for his finishing move, the 'Fredigree'!]

Sully: Ha - Ryder's reversed it, and EyCe is gonna receive the Fredigree! This is great!

[EyCe manages to struggle out of the predicament and escape to the outside of the ring. Ryder smiles cheekily on the outside as EyCe holds his back, following an earlier fall. He walks round to ringside, keeping his eye on Freddy in the ring; oblivious to the fact that Ryder's valet, the beautiful Stephanie, has walked round to ringside and is holding the match bell.]

Sully: Oh man! I love female valets! Look at Stephanie, she's almost as hot as Rodney Ferno's young valet, Miss Kelly Day!

JP: Control yourself, Sully. I have to say this every week.

[Before Stephanie or EyCe can do any damage, Ryder slides out of the ring. He clobbers EyCe on the back of the head and quickly slides him back into the ring. Referee Chad Pattison ensures EyCe is okay, and Freddy Ryder is eager to continue. Ryder blows a kiss to Stephanie on the outside before hoisting EyCe up to his level. He whips him against the ropes and on his return, kicks him in the crotch again.]

Sully: Ryder is gonna attempt the Fredigree for the second time in this match! He's gotta finish off EyCe now, surely.

JP: I wouldn't put it past him.

[Freddy Ryder has EyCe in the position, as he cockily looks about the crowd with a big grin on his face. Then suddenly, without warning, EyCe flips Ryder off his back and shouts at him to get up. He is enraged with anger, as he tells a bewildered Freddy Ryder to get up to his feet.]

JP: What the hell happened, Sully?

Sully: EyCe just got a rush of blood to the head, JP! Haha.

[EyCe quickly whips Ryder against the ropes, and on his return hoists him up in a DDT position. He lifts him into the air, then a few seconds later, slams him back down onto the canvas, completing the 'EyCe Pick' to the delight of some of the crowd members.]

Sully: Man! What a move!

[EyCe, still incensed, covers Ryder, and Pattison counts: 1… 2… no! Stephanie, Ryder's valet, somehow managed to sneak into the ring and break up the count! EyCe jumps to his feet just as Stephanie exits the ring. He shouts abuse over the top rope, as Ryder crawls across the ring. Before EyCe can do anything, Freddy Ryder rolls up EyCe in a schoolboy pin: 1… 2… 3!]

JP: Freddy Ryder has done it! But EyCe put a good fight. I'm sure once recovers from that Fredigree, he'll have something to say about the outcome.

Sully: EyCe was robbed, but at the same time, Stephanie pulled her weight as a valet… beautiful and with brains!

[Freddy Ryder crawls out of the ring and falls into Stephanie's arms. She holds up her man, as they both walk up the ramp, slowly, with their banks turned.]

Peter Santos: And your winner… Freddy Ryder!
