versus

Tosh McKintosh

Singles Match

Referee: Brian Ford

Writer: Paddy Stoate

JP: Well folks, the second match of the night is about to kick off, and what a night it has been already!

Sully: And what a night it's about to become! Tempest, making his in-ring return, is gonna start his comeback with a bang!

JP: I don't know about that, Sully, I wouldn't count out Tosh McKintosh, that kid's got spunk!

Sully: Please, JP!

JP: What? You're sick, Sully!

Sully: Oh, shut up JP! Anyway, here comes the action!

[This is no sooner said than Tempest's theme music, 'Heart's Filthy Lesson' by David Bowie hits, and the fans instantly are on their feet, booing. The man himself steps out onto the entranceway, and, after surveying the fans with a look of disgust on his face, walks briskly down the ramp, before climbing the steps and getting between the ropes, finally standing in the squared circle.]

JP: Tempest waiting in the ring for Tosh McKintosh, and what is the deal with this man and The Hobo?

Sully: It's obvious! Tempest wants Hobo on his side, and it's only a matter of time before Hobo accepts his proposal!

JP: Hmm, I doubt that…

[Tempest has his boots checked by Referee Brian Ford, and has just put his left foot down when…BOOM! Linkin Park's 'Points Of Authority' begins to blast over the expensive sound system in the arena, and Tosh McKintosh emerges to the deafening strains. The young Scot is cheered massively, his Faceness being boosted by Tempest's Heelness. He wastes no time, running down the ramp and sliding into the ring, and quickly jumps up onto the nearest turnbuckle, raising his arms. However, as he does this, he is hit with a clubbing blow to the back by Tempest, who begins to pound on Tosh's back.]

JP: Oh my God, what a cheap shot by Tempest!

Sully: He's not wasting any time, great tactics!

[Tempest is booed as he lands another axe-handle to the back of McKintosh, but, as he goes to land a third, Tosh raises an elbow and drives it backwards, right into the nose of Tempest, sending him reeling backwards. Tempest rolls back, up onto his feet, and runs again. However, Tosh has this scouted, and jumps backwards, over Tempest, who runs into the turnbuckle. Tosh, the much larger man, waits for Tempest to turn around, then, as he does, picks him up and lands a Spinebuster. He goes for the early cover, 1, 2, but Tempest kicks out shortly after two. Tosh sits up, and the fans cheer as he stands, waiting for Tempest, who slowly stands, holding his back. He makes his way to the nearest corner, which happens to be the opposite corner from Tosh. The fans cheer and jeer as he goes there, because Tosh McKintosh is now looking like he is going to go for either a Spear or a Big Splash. Tempest is leaning against the turnbuckle, and McKintosh runs, jumping and landing a Big Splash, crushing Tempest into the turnbuckle. Tempest slumps down onto the ground, and rolls out of the ring, and the referee immediately starts the count. Tosh follows Tempest, and grabs him by the head. Wasting little time, he runs with him and slams his head down onto the steps, and Tempest goes flying, his back hitting the steel fan barrier.]

Sully: What a dirty trick!

JP: Well, I gotta admit, that is not legal!

Sully: Dirty bastard, what a swindle!

[Tosh now rolls Tempest back into the ring, and kicks him in the back. Tempest cries out in pain, and tries to stand. Meanwhile, Tosh McKintosh has signalled the end for Tempest, as he has just made his trademark signal for the Stinger Thistle! He pats his own leg, and waits for Tempest to get up.]

JP: It looks like this could be it!

Sully: No! Look out, Tempest!

[Tempest is finally up, and Tosh runs, raising his leg for the Superkick that is the Stinger Thistle! However, Tempest ducks, spins Tosh around, and lands a Neckbreaker! Tempest collapses as well, but very slowly, begins to crawl toward Tosh, who is out flat. He drapes an arm over him, and Brian Ford counts. 1…2…Tosh McKintosh gets the shoulder up! Tempest does not look best pleased, and seems to find strength, standing up and heading out of the ring, grabbing a chair from underneath Peter Santos.]

JP: Oh no, what's this?

Sully: Tactics, JP, tactics!

[He slides the chair into the ring, and grabs another! Referee Brian Ford sees the first, and picks it up, then gets out of the ring with it, not noticing Tempest get in with the other!]

JP: That sneaky son of a-

Sully: That's brilliant!

JP: He's distracting Brian Ford with one chair, and using the other while his back is turned!

[Tosh McKintosh slowly gets up, while Brian Ford is still outside. Tempest runs with the chair, but Tosh ducks, and turns, and hits Tempest with the Stinger Thistle, knocking the chair into his face!

JP: Tosh McKintosh! What a reversal!

Sully: That's cheating, referee, disqualify that man!

[Ford gets into the ring just in time to see Tosh covering Tempest, and begins to count, 1…2…Thr-No! Tempest kicks out! Tempest kicks out of a chair shot to the head!]

Sully: Yes! He kicks out!

JP: My God!

[Tosh McKintosh looks extremely angry, and gets to his feet, signalling the Stinger Thistle once more. As Tempest slowly finds his feet, nose bleeding, he turns, and the Stinger Thistle comes his way! But he ducks! He turns Tosh around and lands the Epicentre! He covers, 1…2…3! Tempest picks up quite an impressive victory!]

Peter Santos: And your winner, through pinfall, Tempest!

Sully: YES!

JP: Well, who'd a thunk? Tempest, introducing a foreign object into the match, then having it used against him, somehow managed to pick up the victory!

Sully: I wanna see that again, can we get a replay of that Epicentre DDT?

[A replay is shown of the Epicentre; in fact, quite a few replays are shown, from various angles, all clearly showing Tosh's head hitting the ground and his neck contracting.]

JP: Well folks, we gotta leave ya here for a commercial break, but don't go away, we'll be right back!
