Welcome to Gaia! ::

The old EEW theme hits the arena.

"Introducing first, from New Jersey, representing team EEW, John Cardok!"

Cardok walks down the ramp. He sees a fan holding an EEW sign. He asks the fan permission to raise it up and praise it. The fan nods. Cardok raises it and points to it. To the fans surprise, Cardok pulls a sharpie marker out of a back pocket and signs it. He then hands it back! He then heads to the ring!

Cardok uses the ring steps to climb in the ring. He then steps to the middle and yells "EEW! EEW! EEW!" and then goes and waits in his corner.

:: Mucc's "Gerbera" hit the speakers with its electrifying guitars as The Sexy Strong Stylist bounced and galloped his way on out to the stage. Grinning ever-so flirtaciously, he'd move down a bit from the stage, and take his mark at the center. He was feeling ever-so confident after emerging from the Fatal Four Way as the winner, but tonight was different. It would take skill and cunning to score three falls before two other opponents could. Motioning his hands across his pelvic area .. Ryuu would thrust his left fist up in a GUTS POSE before himself, a large blast of pyrotechnics would rocket into the sky behind him! Moving on down the ramp, he enthusiastically tagged hands with fans along the way before reaching ringside. Pulling himself onto the apron, Ryuu slid himself onto the middle rope and reclined back, undoing the tie around his neck. Ducking completely into the ring, Sakamoto spun around once, removing the tie from around his neck and tossing it into the crowd! Pointing out around the audience, he'd raise his hands and clap them a few times overhead, getting the crowd fired up as he backed up to an unoccupied corner .. letting his music die down. The bell was about to ring. ::

:: Accepting the tie-up with Cardok, Ryuu would plant his feet and challenge the opponent's strength with his own. Shifting to the side quickly, Sakamoto attempted to yank Cardok right into the side headlock, bending at the knees for further leverage! ::

:: Just to keep Cardok on his toes and guessing, Ryuu would relinquish that headlock, only to spin around behind Cardok, attempting to latch in a tight hammerlock. ::

:: Cardok was able to take Ryuu and flip him over onto a sitdown on the canvas, the hammerlock reversed right onto Sakamoto, this time with Ryuu in a worse position, as he was sitting down. Wincing, he sneered a bit in concentration. Shifting his legs around so he could turn inward at a kneel, Ryuu now attempted to reverse Cardok's hammerlock by slinging an arm around the inside of his leg, attempting to counter with a Fireman's Carry takedown to flip Cardok over his shoulders and onto the canvas! If successful, Ryuu will attempt to keep Cardok down with a leg-scissors vice wrapped around his neck. ::

((2 Days))

Cardok gets his foot on the ropes.

Cardok rolls out of the way.
