…John Cavanagh gets a shoulder up with authority!
Mike Fisher: What a frenetic start there! Russell Wayne JUST got the better of that exchange, but John Cavanagh isn’t ready to give up that easily!
Both men quickly get up to their feet, and John Cavanagh reaches out to grab hold of Russell Wayne’s left arm. Holding it, he ducks underneath it, and twists it into an armbar. Russell Wayne reaches out with his right to try and relieve some of the pressure, wincing as he does so
Scott James: You can see the pain on Russell Wayne’s face, Mike. Such as simple move, but always one to cause a guy problems…
Russell Wayne performs a forward roll to straighten his arm out so, still holding Russell Wayne’s arm, John Cavanagh performs a similar roll, putting the pressure back on Russell Wayne’s arm.
Mike Fisher: So far it seems these two have an answer for everything the other comes up with…
Still holding Russell Wayne’s arm, John Cavanagh moves closer, sweeps his leg underneath his opponent, and sends Russell Wayne dropping to the mat, face first. John Cavanagh is STILL holding Russell Wayne’s arm, twisting it harder than ever. To increase the pressure he kneels down, forcing his knee into the small of Russell Wayne’s back.
Scott James: Brilliant improvised submission move from John Cavanagh!
The referee gets down in front of Russell Wayne to see if he is going to tap, but Russell Wayne shakes his head, grimaces, and tries to pull himself forward gingerly with his free right hand.
Mike Fisher: John Cavanagh is not only putting immense pressure on both Russell Wayne’s arm and back here, but also his own weight as well! Every second Russell Wayne is in this move is taking more out of him!
Russell Wayne inches forward slowly, and reaches his right arm out towards the bottom rope. His fingers are inches away, and the crowd are willing him on to get out of the hold. He sucks in breath between gritted teeth, and with all his strength he pulls his body slightly further forward, and gets three of his fingers around the bottom rope. The referee signals to John Cavanagh to break the hold, and he obediently does so, lifting himself up from Russell Wayne’s back, and finally releasing his arm.
Scott James: I’m really impressed with John Cavanagh so far, Mike, he put so much pressure on Russell Wayne in that exchange, and even though the big man made it to the ropes, he will be under full strength now.
Leaning on the ropes, Russell Wayne starts rubbing his left arm to get some of the feeling back into it, breathing rather heavily as he does so. After a few seconds he moves back towards the centre of the ring, and gingerly holds his arm out towards John Cavanagh for another lock-up. John Cavanagh grabs hold of Russell Wayne quickly, and delivers a swift belly-to-belly suplex, sending Russell Wayne crashing to the mat once more. John Cavanagh runs towards the ropes past Russell Wayne, bounces on the seconds rope, and delivers a perfect Lionsault onto the prone Russell Wayne in the centre of the ring, and then hooks Russell Wayne’s leg for a pin attempt…

…3NO!! Russell Wayne kicks out a fraction of a second before the three!
John Cavanagh allows Russell Wayne to get to his feet, then throws a hard right hand punch at Russell Wayne’s temple. Russell Wayne rocks backwards, and John Cavanagh follows up with another right, and another, sending Russell Wayne moving slowly backwards towards the ropes once more. After a few punches Russell Wayne holds his weakened left arm up to block a punch, and throws a right of his own at John Cavanagh. Russell Wayne throws a second right, sending John Cavanagh further back, then John Cavanagh blocks a third punch, and throws another of his own. The two continue to trade blows and blocks for a minute or so, until Russell Wayne follows a block with an increased series of rights and lefts, pushing John Cavanagh further backwards. Russell Wayne then takes a couple of quick steps in the opposite direction, and rips off a lightning-fast superkick, dropping John Cavanagh to the mat.
Scott James: WOW! Where did that come from?
Russell Wayne drops down on top of John Cavanagh, hooking his leg for a cover…

…
…3NO! John Cavanagh kicks out sharply!
Mike Fisher: I’d love to say I can’t believe Russell Wayne pulled that superkick out of nowhere like that, but after everything we’ve seen from this man over the years, I’m ready to believe almost anything he does!
Both men get back to their feet, John Cavanagh rubbing his jaw from the impact of the superkick. Russell Wayne moves forward, looking to grab hold of John Cavanagh for another grapple, but John Cavanagh leaps up, grabs Russell Wayne around the neck, and delivers a thunderously-fast back breaker!
Mike Fisher: West Side Driveby
Scott James: THAT WAS QUICKER THAN THE SUPERKICK!!!
John Cavanagh follows Russell Wayne down to the mat, and covers him for another pin attempt…

…
…
…3NO! Russell Wayne JUST manages to get his shoulder up!
Mike Fisher: So close! I thought John Cavanagh had him there!
The two men get up once more, both feeling the effects of each others high impact moves. Russell Wayne grabs hold of John Cavanagh quickly, and whips him into the ropes once more. With John Cavanagh’s back to him, Russell Wayne runs the ropes in the opposite direction. Both men rebound at pretty much the same time, and head back towards the centre. Russell Wayne suddenly leaps up and delivers a Thesz Press to John Cavanagh, sending him back to the mat, and as he lands hard on top of him he follows up with a series of stiff blows to the head. John Cavanagh manages to get a boot up, knocking Russell Wayne backwards. As Russell Wayne staggers backwards John Cavanagh reaches out to grab at the bigger man’s foot, making him fall over backwards. John Cavanagh gets back to a standing position, gets a better grip on Russell Wayne’s foot, rolls him over onto his stomach, and twists the foot into a harsh ankle lock.
Mike Fisher: John Cavanagh Lock! Another powerful submission move!
Scott James: From what I know, John Cavanagh has a hell of a win rate with this hold…
The referee once again gets in Russell Wayne’s face, looking for the tap. Russell Wayne has his right arm raised, feeling he might have no choice but to tap from the pain. He grits his teeth, shakes his head, balls his fists, and drops his arms and his head to the match, trying to push through the pain.
After more than a minute with his head on the mat, the referee begins to check on Russell Wayne to see if he has passed out from the pain. He lifts Russell Wayne’s arm up, and lets it drop to the mat.
Mike Fisher: It looks like Russell Wayne is out cold here…
Watching the ref closely, John Cavanagh sinches the hold in even tighter. The referee lifts Russell Wayne’s arm up again, and once more lets it drop to the mat.
Scott James: Is this it?
The crowd start chanting Russell Wayne’s name loudly, as if wanting to help him stay conscious. The referee lifts Russell Wayne’s arm up a third time, and lets it fall. Mere inches from the mat, Russell Wayne manages stop his arm from falling, and instead starts shaking it wildly.
Mike Fisher: He’s not done! But does he have enough left to get out of this ankle lock?
With the crowd completely behind him, Russell Wayne plants both hands firmly on the mat, and tries to push himself up off the ground. He pulls his free leg to a kneeling position underneath him, and then tries to pull himself into a standing position, albeit on one leg.
Scott James: I’m not sure if Russell Wayne has enough strength left to make this work…
John Cavanagh still has Russell Wayne’s ankle twisted tight, as Russell Wayne has managed to hop and push himself to a standing position. Russell Wayne reaches an arm out towards the ropes, but John Cavanagh just pulls hard on the leg, and walks backwards slowly towards the centre of the ring. Russell Wayne has no choice but to follow, hopping as he goes. Russell Wayne starts to hop more, gaining momentum, then quickly brings his free leg up for a swift kick to the side of John Cavanagh’s head. John Cavanagh lets go of the ankle finally, Russell manages to grab John and… LAST RESORT!!!!!

Main Event World Title Match
Jonny FnC (c) vs. Tyler Debonair
vs 
The ring bell is struck three times as a calm falls over the crowd high above the ocean below.
Melanie Jackson: Ladies and Gentlemen, it is now time for the Main… Event… of the Evening! The following match is scheduled for one fall and no time limit, and is for the IIW World Heavyweiiiiiiiiiight Championship!!!!
The referee folds the belt straps inward and holds it high for both men to see, then makes a lap around the ring, showing it to all in attendance. He hands the belt off to a ring attendant and signals for a ready motion from both men. They both signal they’re ready to begin and the referee signals for them to do so.
Scott James: And we’re underway with the main event of Key 2 Success.
The two men circle one another a few times before reaching out and shaking hands. They circle a few more times before finally locking up, tightly. They battle against one another hard, neither man getting an advantage at first. Jonny C begins pressing Tyler back, gaining three steps, but Tyler gets his feet under him and presses right back to the center of the ring. Jonny C’s turn to lose some footing, Tyler pressing him back an equal amount of steps, before suddenly dropping down and hip tossing him across the ring. Jonny C scrambles back to his feet and intercepts an incoming Tyler, hip tossing him this time, Tyler as well scrambling up quickly. Jonny C gets caught rushing in, Tyler dropping to a knee and ankle picking him, dropping him face first to the mat. Jonny C pops back up quickly, using the ropes to stand, and turns on a bearing Tyler, putting a boot to his knee, then taking a step in a delivering a knee to the side of the head. Tyler hits the mat, but fends off a boot and gets to his feet quickly as well. Jonny C gets a hold of Tyler’s free arm as he stands and sends him into the far side ropes, and as he rebounds, leap frogs over him. He drops down and Tyler clears him, hitting the ropes again. On the second rebound, Jonny C hits a big power slam, snapping his hips and dropping the challenger swiftly and forcefully. Tyler arches his back but again, gets to his feet quickly. Jonny C pursues, but as he gets a hold of Tyler, the challenger shoves him back and hits a big drop kick. Jonny C stands, but Tyler drops him with another drop kick. Jonny C scrambles back up again, but this time Tyler snatches him in a front face lock, hooks a leg, and drops him with a suplex. Tyler attempts a bridge, but Jonny C reaches under him and picks his ankle and breaks the pin. Jonny C slides his way into his corner, and Tyler allows him the chance to get back to his feet. For the first time since the match began, both men pause a moment and the crowd, having literally been on their feet the entire time, explodes into applause.
Mike Fisher: Holy hell, these two men are in perfect form tonight.
Scott James: Ha.
Mike Fisher: Anyway… move for move, these two just matched one another. Absolutely incredible, and we’re only a few minutes in!
Scott James: Tyler is really showing Jonny the kind of challenger he’s got here, and the kind of match he’s in store for, but Jonny C is making sure Tyler knows just exactly why he is the World Champion.
Godfather: Nothin like a big fight feel you know?
Mike Fisher: Mmhmm.
The two get into a rhythm again and circle one another, both shooting a time or two, looking for an opening but not finding one. Finally, Jonny C jukes in but Tyler turns it around, getting a waist lock from behind and holding it in tightly. Jonny C looks for an escape and finally finds it by stomping on Tyler’s foot, reaching up, and grabbing Tyler’s neck. He maneuvers for the The C-Section, but Tyler shoves him away and he hits the ropes, bouncing backward. Tyler grabs him around the waist and pops his hips, jerking back for a German but Jonny C flips out of it and lands on his feet, backing into a corner. Both men glare at one another and make a pinching motion with their fingers, indicating a “THIIIIS close” taunt.
Mike Fisher: They both tried pulling the trigger but were denied by the other!
Scott James: They both went for it early, can’t blame them.
Mike Fisher: I don’t think, for a second, that Jonny C wants out of this match quickly, you know? He’s ready to defend the strap against all comers, and the last thing he wants is a fluke win.
Scott James: Doesn’t mean he won’t take one.
Jonny C and Tyler come to the middle of the ring again, and before any lock up or clinch can happen, Jonny C throws a hard right hand right into Tyler’s face. Tyler is rocked, kicking his head back hard from the blow, before turning back and throwing a right of his own, clocking Jonny C right in the jaw. A right from Jonny C, then a right from Tyler, Jonny C, Tyler, Jonny C, Tyler…
Mike Fisher: Someone is going to buckle here… how many haymakers can a man take?!
…Jonny C, Tyler, Jonny C, Tyler, Jonny C… then Jonny C again. And again, and then a knee to the midsection. Tyler backs several steps and Jonny C takes advantage. Taking a step up onto his opponent’s knee, he leaps up and cracks his other foot right off Tyler’s skull. The challenger goes down, hard. Jonny C capitalizes, dropping an elbow on the back of his neck, then standing a dropping a knee onto his back. He jerks Tyler up off the mat and whips him across into the far corner, running in and hitting a big body splash. Tyler stumbles forward, and Jonny C doesn’t waste a moment, repeating the body splash in the opposite corner. Tyler stumbles free again, but this time Jonny C drop kicks him and grounds him. Tyler makes an attempt to sit up and stand, but Jonny C rolls over and snaps his neck in a blockbuster maneuver, using the corner to get back to his feet.
Mike Fisher: Tyler is down! The challenger is down and out after a flurry from the champion!
Scott James: He’s not out, just down. Great move by the champ.
Jonny C lifts Tyler off the mat and whips him the few feet into the nearby corner. He lifts the challenger up onto the top turnbuckle, tucks his own head between Tyler’s legs, and walks him out in the middle of the ring. Whipping Tyler hard onto the mat with an Alabama Slam, leaping over him and bridging in a pin attempt.
1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2 !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Tyler kicks out with aggression, rolling to his side and up to one knee. Jonny is right on him, placing a well measured boot into Tyler’s knee, but at the same time, Tyler wheels around with a spinning back fist and knocks Jonny C to the mat himself. Both men get to their feet after a moment and rush one another, both ducking a clothesline. They both hit the ropes and Jonny C throws a hard shoulder block, expecting another clothesline from his challenger and thinking to step to the inside of it. Instead, Tyler leap frogs right over Jonny C and hits the far side ropes. By the time Jonny C is able to get his footing and turn to face Tyler, the challenger comes flying off the mat in a huge cross body block. Jonny C scrambles back up, but Tyler’s ready for him, lifting him up off the mat and dropping him across his knee in a backbreaker. The World Champion rolls to the mat holding his spine as the challenger makes his way to the turnbuckles, sliding up to the top and waiting for his moment. Jonny C refuses to stay down for very long, which is fine by Tyler, as the challenger steps back, rushes forward slightly, and drops Jonny C with a quick DDT. Jonny C hits the mat but rebounds up slightly, his head wracked in pain. Tyler falls to the mat, clinching Jonny C’s head with one arm, facing the side, and squeezing tightly.
Mike Fisher: The Champion is in trouble here. Not only has he been on the brunt of a seriously pinpointed attack by Tyler here, but now he’s in a sleeper hold in the middle of the ring, with nowhere to go and two hundred twenty pounds to drag with him if he wants to reach the ropes!
Jonny C struggles and struggles, trying to pry at Tyler’s fingers. Tyler brings Jonny C’s body closer to his, using pure strength alone to drag him toward his core. Kicking his legs, Jonny C manages to bring himself closer to the ropes, but after a hard buck of his hips and kicking his legs up to slide closer, Tyler traps one of his legs with both of his own. Jonny C flounders for a moment, concentrating only on breathing and keeping his senses about him, not struggling and wasting oxygen. Tyler realizes the tactic, and after another long few minutes, releases the hold and gets to his feet, shaking his arms a bit.
Mike Fisher: He just let him go? I don’t understand, Jonny C had all but stopped struggling…
Scott James: And this is why I’m here. He didn’t give up Mike Fisher, he made a tactical decision. Tyler realized that, without switching the sleeper into an illegal choke, he didn’t have the hold in the right way to choke Jonny C out. Had Jonny C kept struggling, Tyler might have been able to switch his arm around in the right place, but once Jonny C stopped struggling and just calmed down, started breathing slower, and waited Tyler out, he realized that holding Jonny C there all night was just going to burn out his arms. It’s something MMA guys do to, they’ll give up a submission hold if they know they’re not going to get the tap so they don’t kill their arm strength.
Mike Fisher: Makes sense I guess.
While Jonny C might not have tapped out, his Oxygen flow was greatly reduced, and now he can do no more than lie there and breathe deeply. Tyler lifts him off the mat a moment later and sends him into the ropes. Jonny C hits and comes rebounding back, and gets caught in the midsection with a palm strike. It doubles him over, but doesn’t put him down. Tyler steps to the side, locks in a double wrist lock, and brings Jonny C in a step closer. He switches his hands around, and uses the wrist lock to lift Jonny C up in a suplex position. He holds him there a moment to get his footing, releases the wrist lock, and instead of just letting Jonny C fall straight down, he grabs a cradle, ducks the Champion’s head, and hits a piledriver.
Mike Fisher: WHAT A COMBO!
Scott James: No kidding!
Tyler drops right into a pin from the extremely creative combo move and hooks the far leg

Kick out by the Champion. Jonny C rolls to his side and clutches his head, the target of Tyler’s attacks. He begins using the ropes to get to his feet a moment later, his challenger right behind him, waiting for his moment to strike. Jonny C seems to sense it however and, holding the ropes still, reaches back and executes a single leg mule kick to Tyler’s midsection. It’s a weak move, and an out of character move, but it’s enough to double Tyler over and give Jonny C time to breathe. Tyler takes a step forward in his doubled over state, and Jonny C grits his teeth and makes a sudden move. Grabbing Tyler’s head, the Champion leaps through the middle and bottom rope, and drops Tyler’s neck across the bottom rope. Tyler’s neck snaps off the rope and he hits the mat, coughing. Jonny C takes a long moment to get himself together and slides back into the ring,, but it’s enough to double Tyler over and give Jonny C time to breathe. Tyler takes a step forward in his doubled over state, and Jonny C grits his teeth and makes a sudden move.

Jonny C takes a long moment to get himself together and slides back into the ring, and by then Tyler is just getting to his feet as well. He rushes the Champion, but Jonny C side steps him, causing Tyler to hit the ropes. On the rebound, Jonny C side steps him again and causes him to rebound a second time, but this time, just as Tyler is coming off the ropes, Jonny C is there and meets him with a vicious Spear, immediately hooking the leg.

Kick out by the challenger. Jonny C goes right back into action, rolling down Tyler’s body and snatching his ankle, standing, and latching in the ankle lock submission. Tyler yelps in pain, grabbing at his ankle but unable to reach. With extremely quick thinking, Tyler rolls free of the ankle lock, kicking Jonny C away, but the Champion is not to be deterred. As Tyler gets to his feet, Jonny C is right there and lifts him up F’N POINT!!!!!!
Mike Fisher: F’N POINT! That’s that.
Jonny C scrambles for the far leg and hooks it.

[b]The ref stops the count, Tyler’s foot resting on the bottom rope near by.
Scott James: HA! WHAT RING PRESENCE!
Mike Fisher: Look at Jonny, he KNEW he HAD this match won right there!
Indeed the Champion seems frustrated, but none the less gets right back to his feet. Jonny C raises Tyler off the mat, but Tyler shows a streak himself, hitting a roaring elbow on the Champion. Jonny C backs a step from pain, but Tyler follows right up, attempting a rolling double leg take down. The champion ducks it, but Tyler shows amazing agility and lands on his feet. Jonny C capitalizes however and grabs Tyler from behind, locks an arm over Tyler’s shoulders, and leans back for a mic check style move.
Scott James: He’s got him again!
Tyler elbows Jonny C in the stomach before he’s able to actually drop him in the maneuver, sweeps around behind Jonny C, hooks his hips and pops his hips, but Jonny slips out again… this time he takes a breath before… THE F’N POINT!!!!
Scott James: ONE MORE TIME!!!!
Jonny picks him up and delivesr THE F’N POINT AGAIN!!!!
He slumps over Tyler’s body
