The crowd felt the mixture of tension, respect, and disrespect. Salem communicating to the whole arena that this match wouldn't be easy for all of his opposers. Dean showing off the speed and wit that brought him to this position. And cartwright showing the whole crowd his true colors as he searched for any way to do Salem dirty. Dean smirked as the aura of the ring could of been sliced through with a butter knife. The rookie then glanced over in his corner, where Rosario was hopping in excitement at it all. But the minute the two glances wer're exchanged the Vet pipped up.
"Not yet Dean. This is all you! This is all You!"
Dean ignored the man as he looked back at the tag team champion. He stepped forward to offer a lock up, it was time to get this started again. But if the crowd liked it or not, Dean was forced to be the heel, that's just how the business worked. So if the lock up was accepted Dean planned on quickly laying a hard right to the jaw of Mr. Showtime instead. Business was business.

Salem knew he was up against it, here - he'd have been hard pressed to get screwed any more if he'd been in a hardware store whorehouse! The fans knew it too, booing the lengths Cartwright was going to in order to cost Salem his first WWFG Championship! And to make matters worse, Salem actually liked Dean! He hadn't interacted with the man personally, but he saw grit and talent in the rookie that "Showtime" had to respect!
For a moment between moments, Salem lamented he couldn't have just a straight-up one-on-one with the newcomer, instead doing business with him under such inauspicious circumstances! But for the time being, "The Copperhead" would try to separate the brother Johnson from the dastardly antics surrounding them!
As Dean offered the tie-up, Salem would cautiously accept, only to catch a stiff right to his jaw that made him stagger back a step, his head snapping uncomfortably to the side from the impact! The jolt of sharp pain wakened Salem up a bit from his sentimentality, reminding him of what was at stake! His partner, Eryn, was fighting in another country, against his child's grandfather of all people! That big German was counting on Salem to hold their titles down right now! As we're his friends in Apex, who each had their own battles to fight tonight!
Thoughts of his kid Kyra watching her Daddy on a monitor in the back, cheering him on with the rest of his friends, whittled his nerve into a fine point! Like him or not, Salem HAD to hold nothing back! So doing just that, "Showtime" would straighten back up with fiery steel in his eyes, stepping forward to throw all his weight and speed into one of his trademark Tomahawk Chops across Dean's chest!

The chop connected, sending a sharp sound through the camera microphones that were catching every detail. The crowd popped lightly as that was a hit that could only be rivaled in a Japanese shoot promotion. Dean on the other hand howled, the shop landing directly above his wound from 2 months ago. The surrounding area begging for some rest instead got flesh on flesh as his slived torso pleaded to be left alone.
His chest turned red as the million of little cuts left around his body felt agitated. And this agitation was contagious as Dean stomped a foot on the canvas to act out the pain. <********>” he whispered, moving forward look to deliver his own simple chop to the chest of Salem.

Salem felt good about about the placement and impact of his patented chop, able to feel Dean's sternum and ribs rattle from the knife-edged blow! But his feelings shifted as the muscular technician eventually recovered from the wound, throwing his own noticeable strength into a retaliatory strike!
The reciprocated chop made Salem cough a bit, backing a pace to lean on his hind foot and support himself as he put a hand to where he'd been struck, reflexively feeling for serious injury! Dean had power, alright, and the fans respected it with a mixture of boos and cheers for the show of strength and resolve!
Salem, however, had resolve in spades, and wasn't about to back down from any challenge, let alone pass on this chance to welcome Dean properly to the company! Gritting his teeth but managing a smirk, Salem stepped back towards Dean and nodded, showing him an ounce of respect before rearing back and redoubling his efforts, throwing an even harder Tomahawk at the rook's chest as reply! "Let me tell you somethin' folks, you don't need sauce on those chops, and I don't say that lightly!"
"There's nothing LIGHT about you, J.R.!"
"Look bro, imma genius, the finish has already been booked! Dean's gonna give that jabroni jobber a beating, one-two-three! Put some sauce on THAT, bro!"

The crowd begins to boo as the special guest referee, Cartwright, stands in-front of Dean with a smirk on his face as Salem prepares to deliver his second Tomahawk chop!
JR: "SALEM WAIT!"
King: "Do it, Salem!
Get yourself disqualified for attacking the referee and get this over with so we can leave early and celebrate your title loss!"
SMR: "I know a great place down town, bros.
You can come King but I don't want that fat-a** Oklahoma over there cramping our style bro.

(auto)Salem hesitated a moment as Cartwright interjected, stepping to shield Dean from a debilitating Tomahawk mid-swing! The crowd was irate at the blatant interference, jeering the British b*****d for employing even more dirty tactics, stopping Salem mid-move at the risk of being disqualified! Glaring at Cartwright for a second, Salem held back, starting to take a step away from the English owner!
...but "Showtime" would suddenly spin around, using his centrifugal momentum to motivate him past the side of Cartwright, slipping around the corner like an elite edge rusher in the NFL, and slapping Dean across the chest with another Tomahawk Chop aided by the inertia of his maneuver! The crowd popped loudly as Salem gave Cartwright the runaround, cheering the champion on! "That was a Sooner quality cut, right there!"
"The sooner Salem loses this match, the better!"
"Hey bro, solid burn! That's why you're the King! J.R. got a ten-gallon hat but not one ounce of brains, bro!"

Darn these auto powers, whoever invented them needs a kick in the nuts for this!
Cartwright tells The Butler and Omen to enter the ring, turning a blind eye as they slide under the bottom rope and charge towards Salem from opposite sides of the ring!
JR: "When things don't go your way, just bring in the number huh?!"
King: "I don't think you appreciate how much pain and trauma Dean has been through recently JR!
I'd like to see you compete if Blackjack sliced you open the way he did to Dean!"
SMR: "The only thing JR has ever done with his life is make some barbecue sauce, King bro.
The man has no clue how brave and tough Dean is, bro."

Dean ate the shot with grace, well as much grace as he could as another man attempted to stop it. See, Dean wasn't a coward. Dean ate his shots and it didn't affect his attitude. That meant poor communication, back handed tatics, or even an amazingly weak slap to the chest. It was all the same to him.
With that being said the pain surged enough that Dean was on the mat, holding his chest, blood appearing through and around the edges of the hundreds of cuts on his body. It was like putting your finger into a fruit and seeing the juice rise from every locale. It was just a slap but man...WET
Dean looked up to see the two men enter the ring, and at this point his mood changed. Maybe it was the pain, it was probably the pain. Dean would rise to his feet waiting for his moment to also interject himself into the debacle. Waiting patiently, and using communication to tell work as a team. Thats what they needed.

Salem managed to wound Dean for a moment, but before pressing the attack further, Cartwright conspicuously turned his eyes away from the action! Sensing a screwjob, "Showtime" surveyed around to see Omen and The Butler approaching aggressively from either direction! Thinking quickly, Salem would try to duck and side-step simultaneously, hoping to time his maneuver with the precise moment the pair would collide into one another! "Dammit to Hell! Cartwright will stop at nothing to screw Salem!"
"Hey, bro! Salem screwed Salem! Get it right, bro!"
"Yeah, J.R.! That snake has it coming!"

Dean ignored the two men as they seemed to be juked. It was very football of Salem to get around them, and he was fantastic with it. The crowd's anticipation for this man against the odds was audibly rising...And that was Dean's queue.
Dean would rush towards Salem, but unlike the two other men, he had a plan. As he approached Salem he would attempt to plant a strong lariat right to the upper chest of the Tag Team Champion. He knew the man was full of energy and wasn't even a mile away from sweating, and he had to bring him there, so that was the plan!

The slippery snake Salem sees Cartwright Strong Style coming and slithers out of their way, causing both men to crash in to each other and drop to the mat as they bang heads.
Cartwright hears the collision and thinks that Salem has been struck, he rubs his hands with glee!

Omen and Butler had a meeting of the minds, as intended - but Dean had other plans, throwing Salem a swerve by throwing a low lariat at him, instead! The momentum of his maneuver rocked "Showtime" backward, forcing him to clutch his chest with one hand as he planted the other behind himself for balance! Cartwright, for his part, seemed to be unknowingly delighted by the circumstances, though he hadn't yet turned to see what was unfolding! The crowd is divided with cheers and boos, urging Croft to recover while admonishing the owner for his blatant antics!

Dean looked down towards the champion. Stopped but still keeping himself steady with a hand. He looked steady and crouched, still ready to go. Hell he looked strong. Unacceptable.
Dean smirked as he went to kick the champion in the torso as hard as he could and if it was successful he would follow it up but by hopping a good foot into the air, looking to plant all of his weight onto the chest of Salem. He wanted the air in his body to become extinct. Just a myth. Just a deception to a friend. Whimsical and fleeting. A broken promise or a faulty morale.
He wanted the boos and sneers. Hell the boos and hurt feelings told him he was right. It struck a nerve and nerves only went off if they were sensing something real. People only got offended at the truth. And Dean invited it all.

Salem was trying to recover from the lariat as best he could, but Dean decided to double down - launching a hard kick into Croft's chest that rocked him back into the mat! Before he could even regain his bearings, "Showtime" was assaulted by a standing splash, knocking the wind out of his lungs and cutting hid sails to jeers from the crowd! Coughing uncomfortably, the "Gypsy Savage" struggled to regain hid breath with the weight of a professional athlete bearing down on his sternum!

The boo's rained in as Dean licked his lips down at his exasperated opponent. He was down, that's what he wanted, the struggle. After spending the past few months recovering from being tortured, it felt nice to be in the shoes of the powerful.
Rosario wanted a taste of this as well as he threw his hand out for the tag, but Dean glared quickly before turning away. No. He did the work, he wasn't going to give away the catch to the man that didn't hold an ounce of loyalty in his body. Credit, and the check were coming his way.
Dean would look to keep the splash's coming as he would position himself to jump up and attempted to land with a back senton onto the abdomen of the Tag Team Champion!
