As Nuke sprang out of the way, Lance's chair shot connected with the steel steps, the clash of metal.on metal cutting through the crowd noise. Lance looked up to the ring where Fusion was perched.
He shifted his position, using the momentum of the turn to pack some extra power into a chair shot aiming for Nuke's legs as he stood on the apron.

Nuke may have avoided the first shot, but the felt the second as the piercing shot took effect. Crying out in pain, Fusion instinctively rolled into the ring to try and get a moment to rest.

With Nuke now out of immediate reach, Lance dropped the chair and turned his attention to the folded table that Fusion had tried to set up earlier in the match.
King - "I don't like the look of this - what's Lance planning on doing with that table JR?!"
JR - "I don't rightly know King, but if this match so far has been anything to go by, it's not going to be good!"
He picked up the table and carried it to the edge of the apron, sliding it into the ring before jumping up onto the apron himself. Stepping through the ropes, he picked up the table and began to set it up in the corner against the turnbuckles.

Nuke winced and grabbed his leg as he was given a short time to recover, and looked up to to see Lance setting up a table in one of the corners. Gritting his teeth through the pain, Fusion waited until Hawkwind had set up the table.
He then immediately looked to club his back with a double axe handle, trying to take him off his game a little.

As Lance finished setting the table in place, he felt a hard impact in his upper back as Nuke's attack caught him off guard.
The blow knocked him off balance and he stumbled forward, having to brace himself against the table and ropes.

Nuke got the clubbing blow and had Lance on the backfoot now, as he looked to turn his old friend around so that his back was up against the table.
Raising a fist to the air to a cheer from the crowd, The Reedemer then beat his chest twice before called out one word..
"Spear!"
Fusion sprinted at the far ropes and came hurtling back, but stumbled awkwardly on the return, faltering and clutching the same leg that took the brutal chair shots from earlier!

There was an audible gasp from the crowd as Nuke's knee gave way and he began to stumble.
Lance wasted no time taking the opportunity presented to him. He dodged out of the way and dashed toward the far ropes. After rebounding off the ropes, he adjusted his trajectory, coming straight at Fusion for a spear of his own to send him through the table!

The crack was sickening as Nuke's body was fired through the table set up behind him, as he turned around just in time for Lance to catch him straight in the ribs.
The crowd went silent as the camera panned in on the carnage, The Redeemer not moving under a crumbled and splintered table.
Replays showed the moment again in slow motion - Lance sprints as Nuke turns around, the spear catching with authority and sending both men crashing hard into the wood!

After ploughing Nuke through the table, both men were laid out in a heap surrounded by the wreckage. The noise from the crowd had been deafening as the spear had landed, and the mix of boos and cheers filled the arena.
JR - "My gawhd! My gawhd! That slobberknocker of a spear has sent both these men through that table!"
King - "Looks like that knee is causing Nuke some problems JR, Lance was able to take advantage and catch him off guard - this spear could cost him the match!"
Lance began to pick himself up, getting to his lnees using the ropes for balance. He looked down at Nuke whonwas still down, and went in for a cover, waiting to hear the referee's count.

The ref dropped, slamming his hand on the mat for a pinfall attempt!
One!
Two!
Th-
Somehow, Nuke turned his body, getting a shoulder up and breaking the count!

Lance nodded his head to each count, hearing the crowd chant along with the ref, and then felt Nuke shift beneath him as the count was cut short.
Lance exhaled in frustration, releasing Nuke from the pin attempt and slowly picking himself up, taking a few moments to get his breath and bearings back.

The crowd left off a massive cheer as their hero kicked out. Meanwhile, Nuke groaned and turned on his body slightly, moving on to his side. His left arm came back to rest on the small of his back, showing that he was clearly in some discomfort.

Lance took a few moments, looking from Nuke, to the crowd, back to Nuke, and then up toward the ramp to the stage, before looking back to Nuke.
He ached from the impact into the table - Nuke must have been hurting too after that, but Lance knew his friend well enough to know that it would take more than this to keep him down.
He walked over to Nuke, grabbed the ropes, and attempted a series of stomps on his opponent's injured knee.

Those stomps rained down hard, causing Nuke major discomfort and pain and he cried out with each connection. He attempted to kick Lance away with his good leg, clutching his injured one.

Lance looks down at Nuke and then out at the crowd again, with a sly grin on his face. The former member of The Outcasts drops and rolls out of the ring, walking over to the side where a ladder has been left out. He grabs it and takes it towards the ring, sliding it under the bottom rope and following it straight after.
While Lance takes a moment to pick up the ladder and start setting it up in the middle of the ring, Nuke opts to roll out of the ring and away from harm for a second here.
Hawkwind doesn't notice straight away, his eyes on a particular goal. After the ladder is set up he looks to see no opponent and wonders what's going on, dropping and sliding out of the ring again. He notices a weakened Redeemer and heads on over, grabbing him by the hair roughly. A series of crushing knees to the skull is enough to make Nuke stop fight back and, when Lance lets go of the hair, the legendary Fusion drops to the mats outside with his eyes rolled back.
The crowd let off a mass jeer as Lance takes full and unmerciful control of this match now, and heads off to the ring apron. Sliding a table out and then into the ring, he repeats the process and follows the two items in as well. He then proceeds to set up the first table right next to the ladder. The second table.. well, that one is set up and then lifted, placed on top of the first one!
Lance heads on off to the outside and, in his absence, notices that Nuke has crawled away. The Redeemer had somehow crawled towards the announcer's table and was trying to use it to get back to his feet. Lance repaid the earlier favour with a double axe handle to the back of his opponent, knocking him down again. Raising a fist into the air to a big cry from the crowd, Lance laughed at their reaction as he then ripped the top of the announcer's table off and went to set Nuke up on it.
There was no fight back from the legend as he was lifted up onto the table, with Lance following soon after. He lifted Nuke up, ready to potentially finish this match..
Lance lifts Nuke up for the Free Fall, and spikes him down hard onto the table! The table collapses under their weight to a rally from the crowd.
Ho-ly s**t! Ho-ly s**t! Ho-ly s**t!
Lance rolls over, hooking Nuke's leg for a pinfall.. this must be it!
One!
Two!
Th!
Out of pure instinct Nuke turns his shoulder, to the utter disbelief of his opponent. Lance has a look on his face like he knew he should have just won it then and there. With the crowd chanting Lance wasn't happy at all and slammed his fist into the wood underneath them.
He grunted and picked up Nuke, dragging him by his hair again and rolling him into the ring.
In the coming moments Lance would take the time to drag Nuke up the ladder, slowly and with precision. It took a small time to get a very injured and disorientated Fusion up the ladder, but Hawkwind was a man on a mission here.
With the world below them, and the arena watching on, Lance cries out.
"Is this your hero? Is this your Redeemer!?"
The crowd jeered him as he grinned, gripping Nuke's head tightly. A fist raised in the air signalled the end as Lance jumped off with ladder with The Redeemer, hitting his finisher The Free Fall right down through two tables!
The crowd were stunned as the official rushed in, moving broken pieces of wood.. and began a count past all of the shards!
One!
Two!
Three!
The crowd didn't know what had happened, the tables were on top of the men..
Bow Down by I Prevail rang out across the arena as Lance emerged from the broken tables, some blood down his arm and a big grin on his face. The ref raises his arm in the air to a big jeer from the crowd, almost drowned out by the song playing.
