The crowd sparked quickly when Salem seized on Bison's mistake and sent a kick into his gut, doubling the big man over! Though it was prime opportunity for another Pikey Spike, "Showtime" instead ran towards the ropes, rebounding with speed and force while leaping and swinging his legs into a Scissor Kick aimed at the back of the behemoths head, a move Croft called the "Nap Town Shuffle"!

Bison was heaving. This match had been intense and tiring. As he huffed trying to catch his breath, the heel of Salems boot came down on his next, knocking him down to the mat.

"Bison might be tougher than a two-dollar steak, but this 'Copperhead' won't stop chewing! And now he has an opportunity!"
"He needs to go for the pin, J.R.! Salem hasn't had a chance like this, he needs to strike while the iron's hot!"
"I don't think that's what Salem has in mind yet, King!"Bison was laid out flat on the mat, stirring slightly but prime for a pin! But instead of trying for the cover, Salem went back to the ropes and onto the apron, gesturing to the fans as he faced inside the ring, looking poised to strike once more! Stomping his foot over and over, the crowd got worked up, frothing into a bloodthirsty roar as Salem shook the top rope and screamed! "What's he doing, J.R.?!"
"He's going for the kill, King! It's SHOWTIME!"With an athletic maneuver, Salem would springboard from the apron onto the ropes, then launch himself from the top cable, flying with momentum and violent intent towards the middle of the ring! As he reached Bison's stirring body, he'd look to slam his foot down into the back of the man's bloody head, intending to put the exclamation point on this match with his Nap Town Stomp!

Bison was still stirring, dazed from the scissor kick. He started to.push his massive frame up, only for his head to get stomped hard into the mat. The alpha male lay flat, not seeming to stir.

"BAH GAWD! For the first time this match, I don't see Bison moving! You gotta go for it, kid! You gotta do this!"
"He's like the Juggernaut, J.R.! I didn't think you COULD stop him! But it just might happen!"As he landed from the springboard Stomp, Salem took a breath and turned around to see the thousands of fans in attendance cheering for him, the referee anxiously waiting what was next, and Bison motionless on the mat!
Dropping into a sitting position, Salem would stretch the hurt arm of Bison across his waist and walk him onto his shoulders, wedging Bison down with a seatbelt pin that simultaneously torqued his injured extremity!

Bison was pinned up, his damaged arm used against him.
1!
He was out of it. Bisons head was swimming after being smashed to the mat face first.
2!
His damaged arm was draped across him, his weight also pinning his own shoulders down.
3!
It was over. The match was lost

The fans counted along with the official, shouting the last number with raucous excitement as Salem was helped up by the referee, who lifted his arm high! Holding his head, Salem looked down at Bison, who'd caused him so much grief, and felt a satisfaction he couldn't describe.
Standing up proudly, "Showtime" slapped his chest as the referee declared him the victor, approaching the hard camera and shouting words of love to his daughter, Kyra, surely watching from backstage. "Some people thought he couldn't do it! Some people thought he'd never recover! But with a stone, David slew Goliath! And with a Stomp, Salem slew Bison! Never forget! When you try your hardest, dreams CAN come true! You CAN overcome! And Salem has an arena of fans and an excited daughter to testify to that!"
"I'll be honest, J.R. - I didn't think Salem could pull it off! Bison is a MONSTER, he lifts CAGES! But he couldn't lift his shoulders up, tonight! 'The Show' must go on!"Separating from the referee, Salem dropped to the mat and rolled out of the ring, doing a walk around the barricades and celebrating with his fans! As he went around the perimeter, he took notice of the fan Bison had ripped the shirt off of, and asked him for something that the accompanying cameraman couldn't hear.
Providing a dollar and a sharpie, Salem signed it for the lad and patted his shoulder, saying something unintelligible that his gestures inclined getting a new shirt.
Walking back up towards the ramp, Salem slapped hands and bumped knucks with folks on each side of the aisle, reaching the top of the ramp back-first. Once on the stage, Salem lifted his fist high in celebration, suddenly tackled at the waist from behind by his daughter, Kyra!
Turning to give her a kiss and a big hug, Salem lifted her up on his shoulder and thanked the fans, who cheered loudly as he turned and carried his kid through the curtain!

Bison eventually sat up, his eyes wide in disbelief. He looked down the ramp, seeing Salem leaving.
Why was Salem leaving? He hadn't pinned him yet. How was he walking away? Why was Bison on the mat? The crowd was cheering, it sounded almost muffled to him, as if there eas a ringing in his ears.
It took a few moments for him to register what happened. He wiped the blood from his forehead and he stared at it. The alpha male slowly stood up.to his feet as the music died out. He turned to the ref, grabbing him by the collar and lifting him up, his face contorted with rage.
JR: no Bison no! You can't put your hand son the ref!
King: hes gonna regret that three count!
As the security team started heading out, Bison released the ref, heading up the ramp to the back.
~~~~~~~
Backstage, an interviewer approached Bison.
Interviewer: Bison, with you being eliminated from the tournament what are your plans moving forward?
Bison turned to the man, towering over him silenty..his glare of rage slowly turned to one of....exhaustion? Neutrality? It was hard to tell.
"There isn't any plans... Im done. I'm going home." He said solemnly before walking away.
King: WHAT!? Did we hear that right!?
JR: Bison has just....announced his resignation. The Alpha Male is leaving the WWEFG...
King: well JR, I will sit here more comfortably knowing Bison and his wrath will be far away from us.
