Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dead!' By My Chemical Romance began to play, and the crowd was on their feet, roaring for the next wrestler! Eric Johnson then pushed aside the curtain and stepped out onto the top of the ramp! E.J. then hit himself on the chest twice, before heading down the ramp, towards the ring. He slapped some fans' hands, before sliding into the ring and getting to his feet. Once he pushed to a standing position, he looked out to the crowd and held one arm above his head with his other, he did a cut-throat taunt as the crowd roared for the competitor from Ames, Iowa! Finally, E.J. went to his corner, and stretched his arms, ready for his opponent to enter the arena.

Janelle: “Eric fought valiantly last week against Draze, and will have his hands full again with his opponent tonight.
Mike: “That’s right, Janelle. Eric is a fan favorite, and came VERY close to winning last week.”

"I need not fear the love
You love to love the fear
I never want to be alone"

The beat of a drum and a guitar start up over the PA system as they start to play in unison as the opening to "Highway Song" by System of a down, blares throughout the entire arena.

System Of A Down - Highway Song


"Directing your night
Want me to try
Directing your LIFE"

Pyro launches up from the stage up towards the rafters exploding in the air. The fans began to cheer at the sight of this amazing pyrotechnics. A figure is then seen emerging from the backstage area and onto the stage. The fans cheer at the sight of this man. He has dark red hair, his bangs shifted to the right, covering his right eye. Blood red tattoos can be spotted on this man's body, his chest, stomach, and both arms. The man is seen with hand wraps, red boots, and a red pair of pants.

This man revealed to be none other then the ever so charismatic Carl Watson! Carl began to make his way down the entrance ramp. The fans up and out of their chairs reaching to touch Carl. Carl moves towards the fans to his right and began to clap their hands. He then moves down into the middle of the ramp way and continues down. Once reaching the bottom of the ramp, he would begin to dart towards the ring, sliding under the ring ropes! He then quickly moved to the turnbuckle to his right, he didn't hesitate one bit, as he haste fully mounts upon the turnbuckle, using the ring ropes to help him reach the top. Once on top, Carl would throw his arms into the air, causing the fans to cheer. He smirked before turning around and landing to the canvas below him. This was going to be a hell of a match!

Janelle: “And here is Carl Watson. The fans seem to be loving this competitor too!”
Mike: “They’re torn between the two! They don’t have a clue who to decide on!”

Eric and Carl circled each other, getting the crowd into the match. The crowd started a slow clap, and the two began to circle, before both running headlong into a Collar-and-Elbow tie up. Carl seemed to get the strength advantage, but quickly Eric turned it around, tossing Carl to the mat with an arm drag! They both got to their feet, and this time Carl was the one with the arm drag! They both popped up to their feet again, and this time, Eric ran at Carl, and Carl brought up a back elbow attempt, but Eric ducked, before spring boarding off the ropes and catching Carl with another arm drag! Carl got to his feet again, and E.J. ducked a lariat attempt, but caught him with a backslide!

Referee: “1! 2!”

Carl got his shoulder off the mat before the three! E.J. released the pin, and both got to their feet quickly. This time, Eric pushed Carl into the corner, and the crowd went silent. E.J. then smacked Carl across the chest with a STIFF back chop! Carl held his chest for a second, before grabbing Eric by the head and throwing him into the corner! He came back with an open handed slap to Eric’s chest! The crowd cringed, but this time Eric grabbed CARL by the head, and threw him back into the corner! Eric then began unleashing with rapid fire chops to the chest of Carl! By the time Eric was done, Carl’s chest was as red as a crayola crayon! Eric then backed off, holding his hurting hand. Carl was still in the corner, when Eric charged in with a flying reverse body press! Carl got out of the way as the crowd cheered, and then he began to smack Eric in the chest with rapid fire slaps, returning the favor to E.J.!

Finally, the referee got them out of the corner, and Carl grabbed Eric’s arm and sent him off the ropes with an irish whip. Carl went for a tilt-a-whirl, but Eric landed on his feet. He connected to Carl’s face with a smack, before going off the ropes again. This time, Carl connected on his lariat attempt! He went over to Eric and hooked the leg for the pin attempt!

Referee: “1! 2!”

Eric kicked out before the three count! Carl grabbed E.J. by his fauxhawk and picked him up to his feet. He sent Eric off the ropes again, and went for a knee lift, but Eric jumped over it, and rolled Carl up with a school boy, but instead of keeping the pin, Eric grabbed onto both of Carl’s arms, and lifted him up, going for a one-armed power bomb, but Carl unhooked his legs, and landed on his feet. He then went for another lariat, but Eric ducked and brought him down to the mat with a neck breaker!

E.J. then slid out to the apron, and used the ropes to pull himself to his feet. Once Carl began to get up, Eric spring boarded to the top rope, and leapt off with a cross body, but Carl caught him in the chest with a dropkick! The crowd was going insane! Carl got to his knees and pulled Eric away from the ropes, going for the pin attempt!

Referee: “1! 2! Thr-”

Eric kicked out yet again! Carl was getting a bit annoyed this time. He grabbed Eric by the hair, and got to his feet again, before picking E.J. up and slamming him down with a scoop slam! Carl then stepped out onto the apron, and climbed the ropes. He looked out at the crowd, and waved for them to yell, before leaping off, going for the Guillotine Leg Drop! Eric moved out of the way though, leaving no water in the pool! Carl landed on his tailbone, which gave Eric enough time to get to his feet. Carl got up too, with the use of the ropes, and Eric ran at Carl, attempting a lariat, but Carl ducked and ran over to the ropes. When E.J. turned around, Carl spring boarded up to the second rope, and went for a flying body press, but Eric caught him, and quickly turned towards the center of the ring before planting him with the Sidesplitta! The crowd chanted the count with the referee as Eric held him in a pinning position!

Referee (and crowd): “1! 2! 3!”

The bell rang, and Eric rolled backwards, getting off of Carl.

Janelle: “He did it this week Mike! Eric was able to pin Carl Watson with The Sidesplitta!”
Mike: “It was an amazing show of quickness and aerial ability, but in the end, E.J. came out on top!”

‘Dead!’ hit the PA System, and Eric rolled out of the ring, and began to walk towards the ramp, slapping the fans’ hands. Carl was up shortly after, and followed Eric through the curtain and out of the arena. The fans were left waiting for the next match to begin.

Slayer's War ensemble hit the PA, as Jishaal came out holding a steel Chair, ready for revenge on Crazy Wayne, and his dirty tactics. He stood on the stage, away from the door of the tunnel, hiding from Wayne......

Announcer: "The Following contest is scheduled for one fall! And it is a No Holds Barred Match! Making his way to the ring, from Orlando, Florida, weighing in at 245lbs................. JISHAAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Mike: "Last week, Jishaal was cheated out of winning his match last week against the unstable Crazy Wayne!"

Janelle: "That's why it's No holds barred this week Mike! And it looks like Jishaal''s gonna Jump Wayne once he comes out!"

The came Ozzy Osbourne's "Crazy Train" as Wayne came out snickering. As he started to walk down the ramp, Jishaal came from behind with the chair, walloping the back of Wayne's head. as Wayne then fell flat on his face, Jishaal placed Wayne's foot inside of the chair, ready to stomp on the chair to break Wayne's ankle. That's when Wayne pulled a canister of pepper spray from his pocket, spraying Jishaal's face!

Mike: "Holy Crap!"

Janelle: "It just goes to show, Wayne is out of his Damn mind!"

Wayne then took his foot out of the chair, and used it to whack Jishaal in the face, bloodying it. Wayne then dragged him to the announcer's table, and smashed Jishaal's face on it 13 times. Next, Wayne cleared the table, and placed Jishaal on it and placed the chair on Jishaal's crimson mask of a face. But as Wayne climbed the turnbuckle, to go for a frog splash, Jishaal moved off of the table, causing Wayne to hit nothing but the table, and the floor!

Mike: "OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Janelle: "W......Wo.....Wow..............."

Jishaal then assaults Wayne's back with the ring bell 3 times, before rearranging the steel steps. Jishaal then gets on the other side of the ring steps, runs, jumps of the steps, going to land a cross body onto Wayne, only for Wayne turn it into a fall away slam into the barricade! Wayne then drags Jishaal into the ring, and throws 2 kendo sticks, a metal trash can, 3 lids and the top of the rearranged ring steps. Wayne then gets Jishaal to the corner, as Wayne prepares the Happy Pill. But as Wayne is about to nail it, Jishaal drops down and hits a low blow! He then grabs the steps, and charges Wayne off the turnbuckles with them. Jishaal drops the steps 2 feet away from the ropes. Next he bounces off the opposite ropes, runs back, jumps onto the steps, onto the top rope, and goes for a flying axe handle, but Wayne lands a spear! He then rolls the very bloody Jishaal into the ring, and goes for the pin................

1!!!

2!!!!

3!!!!!

Crazy Train once again plays as Wayne stands, flipping off the crowd, as they boo..........

Janelle: "I think we need EMTs on Jishaal!"

Mike: "Yeah! What she said!"

Wayne walks back up to the tunnel, laughing at his opponent's injuries as the EMTs come down to Carry Jishaal out of the building..............

The lights went black, as a red Anarchy 'A' faded onto the small video screen. 'Poison Heart' by The Ramones began playing over the PA System. Soon after, 'Anarchist' Jaysin Hayns stepped through the curtain with his cigarette in his mouth and his kendo stick in his hands. He looked out at the crowd before taking a long drag on his cigarette and taking it out of his mouth with his empty hand. He then continued walking down the ramp. One fan tried touching Jaysin's hand, but he pulled it back quickly, and faked a swing at the fan with the kendo stick, but he pulled back and kept walking. He slid into the ring, and put his cigarette into his mouth. Jaysin took another long drag and stepped up to the second turnbuckle, before looking into the air and visibly blowing the smoke out as the crowd booed him. Jaysin then stepped down and handed his cigarette out to a ring crew guy who then stamped it out in an ash tray on the bell table. Finally, Jaysin dropped the kendo stick onto the mat in his corner and waited for his opponent.

Janelle: “He fell short last week against Zarel, but from his promo, he sounds very determined to win this week.
Mike: “You’re right Janelle. I can’t wait to see this match.”

Makes Me Wonder hits as blue lights flash and the fans began to cheer loudly. Brandon Damone dances out onto the stage to the delight of the crowd.

"Introducing his opponent, from St. Louis, Missouri, weighing in at 225 pounds, Brandon Damone!"

Brandon stops on the ramp and does a few crotch chops as blue X shaped pyros shoot off behind him. He heads down to the ring while high fiving a few fans.

Mike: I daresay he's got his work cut out for him here tonight. Brandon came closer to making Jarel tap out last week than anyone in the business ever has.
Janelle: Oh yeah. that was a great main event. Ratings gold. The fans ate it up. Let's see if he can top that here tonight

Brandon slides into the ring and stands in the center, then strikes his pose as blue pyros shoot off behind him. He takes off his tshirt and throws it out into the crowd as the music dies down. He turns to face Jaysin as the bell rings and remains standing in the center of the ring.

Jaysin walked towards Brandon, and offered a lock up, which Brandon was about to accept, until Jaysin smacked him with an open handed slap to the face, which made the crowd boo hard, and just seemed to make Brandon back off, and get a bit angry… He came back, and Jaysin offered another lock up, but Brandon went into it, quickly using his size advantage to back Jaysin into the ropes. The referee called for a clean break, and Brandon began to back off, but Jaysin paint brushed his face with another slap! That REALLY seemed to piss Brandon off! He went after Jaysin, but Jaysin quickly hightailed it out of the ring. Brandon followed suit, and chased him around the ring, but then Jaysin slid in, and Brandon began to slide in too, but immediately, Jaysin smacked him in the head with a baseball slide dropkick as the crowd showed it’s disliking for Jaysin!

Brandon falls to the outside, his head ringing slightly. Jaysin goes back out and rolls him back into the ring, where Brandon pulls himself up using the ropes and stumbles for a second. When Jaysin follows him in, Brandon hits him with a quick left right jab combination, followed by a chop across the chest that knocks Jaysin clear off his feet. Jaysin inches away from Brandon, surprised at the strength of the chop. Brandon does a quick crotch chop and calls him a few names not suitable for family television.

Mike: Jaysin got into Brandon's head in the early goings in this match, figuratively and literally. But it looks like the tide has already turned.
Janelle: Yeah, he pissed my brother off, but that didn't really help him all that much, now did it? Who's sitting on his a**.

Jaysin got up to his feet, before charging at Brandon. Instead of getting hit with Jaysin's punch attempt, he ducked, and threw him down to the ground with a standing Uranage! Brandon quickly went for a pinfall!

Referee: "1... 2..."

Jaysin got his shoulder up before the three count! Brandon looks to stay on the offensive and gets to his feet first, then let's Jaysin get up and whips him to the ropes and goes for a back body drop but Jaysin counters with a kick to the face, followed by a clothesline. Brandon hits the mat and jason goes for a pin.

referee: 1...2..

Brandon kicks out at the count of two. Jaysin grabbed Brandon by the head, and went to pick him up. When he did, he went to whip him off the ropes, but Brandon countered by going to reverse his irish whip, but instead throwing Jaysin to the ground, where he quickly applied a Crossface submission hold! The crowd was going nuts as they didn't think Jaysin could escape! He began to try to crawl to the ropes, before Brandon released the Crossface and smacked him in the back of the head with a couple of elbows before locking it in again!

Jaysin seemed to be stuck, but finally, to the crowd's dismay, he FINALLY draped his foot across the bottom rope, forcing Brandon to release the hold!

Janelle: That was a close call for Jaysin.
Mike: Looks like he's finding out first hand just how much he underestimated Brandon's skills.

Brandon climbs the turnbuckle and lets Jason get up, then dives off with an axe handle attempt but Jaysin counters with a shot to the gut, which he quickly follows with a DDT. Jaysin then goes for a pin.

1...2...

Brandon kicks out. This time, Jaysin ascends the turnbuckle but just as he reaches the top, Brandon springs up and hops up beside him, then hits a belly to belly suplex off the top rope, sending Jaysin crashing to the middle of the ring! The crowd was going nuts! Brandon slowly crawled over to make the cover on Jaysin!

Referee: "1! 2!"

Jaysin got his shoulder up JUST as the referee was in the process of bringing his hand down for the three count!

Janelle: "Jaysin is having a LOT of close calls here tonight!"
Mike: "Yes, and remember, Jaysin cut that promo about how he would defeat Brandon tonight! If he is to do that, he'll have to make a valiant comeback!"

Jaysin rolled over onto his stomach, and slowly pushed up to a kneeling position, as Brandon got to his feet. Brandon began to club Jaysin with forearms, before picking him up and throwing him off the ropes. When he came back, Brandon tossed Jaysin with an Arm Drag! Jaysin got up, and walked right into another Arm Drag! Brandon then sent Jaysin off the ropes again, once Jaysin got to his feet, and once Jaysin reached Brandon, he picked Jaysin up and nailed him with an Inverted Atomic Drop! Jaysin stood, holding his groin, before getting smacked down to the mat by a STIFF back chop to his chest! Brandon quickly went for a lateral press cover!

Referee: "1! 2!"

Jaysin kicked out yet again! Brandon gets up and pulls Jaysin up and hits a vertical suplex, but doesn't release him. instead he rolls his hips and pulls Jaysin up again, then hits a second suplex. he rolls his hips again and pulls Jaysin up, then hits him with a third and releases him. Brandon then climbs the turnbuckle and goes for a diving elbow drop. Jaysin rolls out of the way at the last second, letting Brandon crash to the mat.

Jaysin then got to his feet and called out that it was over! He grabbed Brandon by the head, and brought him up to his feet. He then hooked his head, and put Brandon's arm over his shoulder, before throwing Brandon into the corner with a snap suplex into the turnbuckles! Jaysin then quickly pulled him out and layed Brandon parallel to the corner. He then climbed the turnbuckles and looked out at the crowd. Jaysin then flipped them off for a second, before leaping off, attempting to crush Brandon with The Anarclism!

Unfortunately for Jaysin, Brandon manages to roll under the ropes to avoid the Anarclism. Brandon slowly uses the ropes to pull himself up, then springboards in with a leg drop across the back of Jaysin's head. Still sore due to missing the elbow drop, he rolls onto his back, unable to make the cover.

Mike: "An excellent move by Brandon, avoiding the Anarclism and hitting that legdrop, but it looks like he's unable to capitalize."
Janelle: "Missing that elbow drop took too much out of him. Looks like he spent what may be his final burst of energy executing that legdrop. The first man to his feet will probably take the advantage."

Brandon grasped onto the bottom rope, using it to get to his feet as Jaysin crawled over to the other side of the ring, also using the ropes to get to his feet. They both were up at the count of 7, although both were staggering around. Jaysin began the throwdown with a forearm to Brandon's face! Brandon staggered backwards a couple steps, before throwing one right back at Jaysin! Jaysin then staggered back, but when he threw another at Brandon, Brandon ducked and tossed Jaysin on his neck with a huge release German Suplex!

He then went up to the top, and went for a huge Moonsault! Jaysin quickly rolled out of the way, and Brandon landed on his face! The momentum carried Brandon to his feet, and by that time, Jaysin was to his feet too. Jaysin and Brandon ran at each other, Jaysin with his arm out, attempting a huge lariat! Brandon ducked, and ran into the corner. When Jaysin turned around, Brandon had ran up the ropes and went for a Whisper in the Wind! Jaysin countered that though, by catching him in a powerbomb position! He didn't have much time though, so he quickly walked to the center of the ring, and went to slam Brandon down to the mat with The Pipe Bomb! After successfully hitting the Pipe Bomb, Jaysin goes for the pin. Unfortunately for him, Brandon isn't completely out of it yet and catches his arm, then wraps his legs around his head and locks in the Triangle choke.

Mike: The Triangle Choke! Brandon almost made Jarel tap out last week with this very same manuever
Janelle: True enough, Jarel was just barely able to get to the ropes. But Jaysin is stuck right in the center of the ring.

Stuck in the center of the ring, Jaysin begins to fade. The referee raises his arm once and lets go, and it hits the mat. The ref does it a second time and again Jaysin's arm hits the mat.

Mike: If his hand drops one more time, Jaysin has lost the match.
Janelle: Just when he thought he had the match won, Brandon reminded him why he's the submission specialist of the family. Even after enduring the pain of that powerbomb, Brandon was able to get in that choke and maybe the win.

The ref lifts Jaysin's hand one last time but this time, Jaysin keeps his arm up and in a last ditch effort, flips over in a jacknife style pin, though Brandon still has the choke locked in.

1...2...3!

Brandon releases the hold a split second too late so Jaysin of course managed to get the win. Brandon sits up in the ring, slapping the mat angrily as he'd just lost for the second week in a row!

'Poison Heart' hit the PA System, and Jaysin attempted to get the heck out of Dodge! He slid outside the ring, and held his throat. The crowd booed the win, but Jaysin didn't care. Finally, he had gotten his first win in SEWF!

Mike: "Jaysin thought he had the match won with the Pipe Bomb, but Brandon was able to get in the Triangle Choke!"
Janelle: "And unfortunately, Jaysin wasn't completely out of it either, as he was able to turn his bad position into a good one, and got the pin on my brother Brandon..."

Jaysin finally stood up, and held both arms into the air, releasing a yell! The crowd, of course, booed him even harder for this, but again, he didn't care! He began to walk to the entrance ramp, but he reached in and grabbed his Kendo Stick. While he was sitting there, he pulled out a cigarette from his pocket, and lit it, before taking a couple puffs. Jaysin exhaled, before continuing up the ramp and through the curtain with a smug look on his face! Brandon rolls out of the ring as the show goes to a commercial break, heading to the back

Flames erupt on the stage as red light covers the arena and Kane's theme hits the sound system. Kane steps out onto the stage and heads for the ring.
Introducing his opponent, weighing in at 320 pounds, Kane!
Kane has his usual sadistic grin on his face as he steps up onto the ring apron, looking in at Jay. He steps in over the top rope and stands in the center of the ring, then raises his arms. He brings them down as flames erupt from the turnbuckle. the lights return to normal as the music dies out. Kane stands with the same smirk on his face as he looks down at Jay. the bell sounds

Mike: This match is officially under way.
Janelle: Let's see how well Jay stands up to the Big Red Machine

Kane moves in towards Jay and goes for a clothesline. Jay ducks and hits a few forearms to Kane's face, then attempts to whip him to the ropes. Kane reverses the whip and as Jay bounces back, launches him into the air with a back body drop. He then follows up with an elbow drop across the chest and goes for a pin.

one...two.

Jay kicks out. Kane pulls him up and whips him into the turnbuckle, then hits a clothesline against the buckle and steps back. Jay staggers out and Kane hits a sidewalk slam, then goes out to the top rope. Jay stands up and gets nailed with a clothesline off the top rope. Kane rolls to his feet and calls for a chokeslam.

Mike: Kane's looking to end this early.
Janelle: Kane had a very short match last week. Looks like he wants the same thing this week

Kane grabs Jay by the throat and lifts him up for the chokeslam but Jay counters into a DDT, spiking Kane right on the top of his head.

Mike: That was a desperate but effective counter.
Janelle: The key word being effective. Kane got dropped right on the top of his head. He's not going to recover from that very easily.

Jay looks to do further damage to Kane as he steps up and backs away, letting Kane get to a kneeling position before giving him a punt to the head, then goes for a pin.

one...two...thr..

Kane just gets his shoulder up. Jay gets up and pulls Kane up, then hits a face buster and goes for another pin.

one...two...th...

Kane kicks out. Jay backs up and hits the ropes and runs forward, going for a bigboot to kane as he stands up. Kane ducks under it and hits a reverse DDT.

Mike: Looks like this may be the turning point in the match up.
Janelle: Jay has been bringing the fight to Kane steadily, his attacks focused on the head ever since that DDT. Kane's trying for a little payback.

Kane sits up, then gets to his feet. Jay gets up as well and Kane backs him against the ropes with some hard right hands, and finally an uppercut to the jaw. Kane whips him across the ring and as he bounces back hits him with a bigboot. Jay's head bounces off the mat when he falls and he winds up laying on his side.

Mike: That was a brutal boot to the face.
Janelle: yeah, and you see how his head bounced off the mat? Jay's seeing stars right about now.

Kane reaches down and pulls Jay up by his throat, then nails him with a chokeslam. Kane then stands there, holding his head and looking down at Jay.

Mike: What is Kane doing? Shouldn't he go ahead and pin him?
Janelle: Do I look like a sick, twisted, demented seven foot monster? How the hell should I know?

Kane makes a cutthroat gesture and the crowd cheers.

Janelle: There's your answer. He's going to finish him off with the Tombstone.
Mike: I don't think there's much need for that, but then again Kane always likes to go that extra mile.

Kane pulls Jay up and nails him with the tombstone piledriver, then goes for the pin.

One...two...three!

Kane's theme hits as he stands up and looks down at Jay. He raises his arms and lowers them as flames erupt from the turnbuckles and the red light comes over the arena again. Kane steps out of the ring and heads up the ramp.

Mike: Well, now we know Kane will be joining Draze in the semi finals. The question is, who will be joining them?
Janelle: We'll be finding out here in the next two matches.

Stricken by Disturbed hits the sound system as red lights flash. Zarel rolls out onto the stage on his black harley davidson motorcycle to the cheers of the crowd.

"Making his way to the ring, first, from St. louis, Missouri, weighing in at 328 pounds, Zarel Damone!"

Zarel races down the ramp and circles the ring, then parks at the end of the ramp and steps up onto the apron. He steps into the ring and raises his fists as flames shoot up out of the turnbuckles.

Mike: Finally, the main event is about to start. Zarel has a tall task in front of him as he looks to take out the Phenom and advance into the semi finals.
Janelle: This should be interesting.

Zarel's music dies out as he takes off his bandana and shades and the lights go out. Attitude hits as blue light covers the arena and fog pours in along the ground. Lightning strikes the stage and the Undertaker steps out, not wearing the coat and hat this time. The Phenom stands on the stage, looking down the ramp at Zarel.

"And introducing his opponent, from Death Valley, weighing in at 299 pounds, the Undertaker!"

The Undertaker begins to walk down the ramp to the ring, never taking his eyes off of Zarel. He stops briefly at the end of the ramp before turning and walking up the stairs. He stops at the top of the stairs and raises his arms while rolling his eyes into the back of his head. The lights come back on and the Undertaker steps into the ring. His music dies out slowly as he stares at Zarel coldly.

Mike: This is certainly a battle of two monstrous human beings. Who do you give the edge to in this match?
Janelle: The Undertaker. As much as it pains me to say it, he's got years of experience on Zarel, with almost two decades of destruction. He's a multiple time world champion, and he's beaten Zarel before.
Mike: Yeah but the Undertaker won't be able to just overpower Zarel. Remember, back in XCW Zarel went to a draw with the Undertaker in a last man standing match.
Janelle: Trust me, the Phenom is remembering that too. Just like Zarel is remembering the beatings the Brothers of Destruction laid on him. There's really no clear favorite in this match now that I think about it

The bell rings and Zarel and the Undertaker lock up in the center of the ring. Zarel shoves the Undertaker back into the turnbuckle, then runs in after him with a clothesline, but the undertaker hits a boot to the face to counter, then grabs his arm and wrings it a few times before attempting Old School. Zarel pulls him back out of the corner and to the center of the ring, then puts him in a hammerlock. The Undertaker twists around and turns it into a hammerlock of his own, then shoves Zarel shoulder first into the turnbuckle. Zarel stumbles back, holding his shoulder, and The Undertaker grabs his arm again, this time successfully dragging him to the corner and connecting with Old School, sending Zarel down to a knee.

Zarel doesn't stay down long and gets up, holding his shoulder still. The Undertaker then drops him face first to the mat with a reverse STO and goes for a pin.

1...2..

Zarel kicks out. The Undertaker pulls Zarel up, then whips him to the ropes and goes for a boot to the face. Zarel ducks and hits a chopblock, taking the Phenom down. Zarel gets up and grabs the Undertaker's leg, then drops an elbow across it and locks in a leg lock submission hold.

Mike: Interesting strategies here. The Undertaker targeted Zarel's left arm while Zarel targeted the Undertaker's left leg.
Janelle: Smart moves for both of them. By targeting Zarel's arm, the Undertaker is ensuring that Zarel can't lift him up for a Cradle Piledriver. By targeting the Undertaker's leg, Zarel is ensuring that the Undertaker can't keep enough wait on his leg to deliver a chokeslam or tombstone.

The Undertaker shoves Zarel down to the mat and then drops his right leg across his face a few times, making Zarel release the hold. The Undertaker stands up, slightly limping but not too seriously just yet. The Undertaker bounces off the ropes and goes for an elbow drop, which Zarel rolls to the side to avoid. Zarel gets up and hits the ropes as the Undertaker sits up, then gets to his feet. The Undertaker turns right into a spear from Zarel, taking him down. the Undertaker rolls to the ropes and gets to his feet, then leans against the turnbuckle. Zarel gets up and follows him, striking him several times with some hard right hands. The referee forces Zarel back but Zarel moves him aside, then gets grabbed by the Undertaker and tossed into the corner. the Undertaker returns the favor, laying into Zarel with several right hands. The ref tries to get the Undertaker to back off, who turns and glares at him, forcing him to run off. Undertaker turns back to the still dazed Zarel and nails him with a right to the temple, knocking him to the ground.

Mike: Looks like Zarel learned just why the Undertaker is known as the best pure striker in the business.
Janelle: I'd say he got reminded of it. He already knew that factoid

The Undertaker pulls Zarel up and goes for an irish whip to the ropes, which Zarel reverses. Zarel follows up with a powerslam, then goes for a pin.

1.....2..

the Undertaker kicks out. Zarel stands and lets the Undertaker get up, then goes to whip him to the ropes. The Undertaker moves as if to reverse it, but stops right behind him and as Zarel turns around, grabs him by the throat.

Mike: The Undertaker is looking to end things early. He's going for the chokeslam.
Janelle: Zarel had better get out of that and fast, or his championship dreams will definitely be gone.

Zarel knees the Undertaker in the gut and whips him to the ropes, then goes for a boot to the face. The Undertaker ducks and hits the ropes again. Zarel turns and the Undertaker takes him down with a flying clothesline, then goes for a pin.

1....2...

Zarel kicks out. The Undertaker gets up first and lets Zarel stand. Zarel gets up and the Undertaker clocks him with a right to the jaw that knocks him out of the ring through the top and middle ropes. Zarel hits the ground hard and lays on his side, then rolls onto his back. The Undertaker stands in the center of the ring and waits.

Mike: This is a little different. Why isn't the Undertaker going after him?
Janelle: Why do you continue to ask me questions about people I have no relation to? I have no idea what the hell the Undertaker is thinking any more than I did what Kane was thinking in his match with Jay.

Zarel begins to stand and the Undertaker runs to the opposite ropes and bounces off them. He runs full speed at the ropes closest to Zarel and as Zarel finally gets up, soars out over the top rope in a suicide dive, knocking Zarel down to the ground again as he crashes down on top of him. The two men wind up laying on the outside, Zarel on his stomach and the Undertaker on his back.

Mike: It's been a while since we've seen that. The Undertaker soared out over the top rope and took Zarel down.
Janelle: Do you know how impressive that really is? I'm 5'9" and a hell of a lot lighter than he is. It took me years of practice and it's not like it gets any easier. The heavier you are, the harder that move is to execute. for a 6'10" 300 pound man to do that should be impossible.

The Undertaker is the first to his feet and pulls Zarel up, then shoves him against the barricade and lands a few body shots before going back in to break the referee's count. The Undertaker rolls back out and pulls Zarel up, then goes to whip him towards the time keeper's table. Zarel reverses, whipping the Undertaker directly into the table instead. As the Undertaker sits up against the barricade, Zarel follows him in and delivers several shots to his forehead before turning back and rolling into the ring to break the ref's count again. Zarel pulls the Undertaker up and rolls him back into the ring, then rolls in after him.

Zarel steps up onto the second rope, then jumps off with a diving leg drop. The Undertaker rolls out of the way, letting Zarel crash to the mat. The Undertaker sits up, then gets to his feet. The Undertaker pulls Zarel up and kicks him in the gut, then hits the Last Ride.

Mike: There's the Last Ride! The Undertaker will advance in the tournament and face Jarel in the semi finals

Undertaker goes for the pin.

1.....2.....

Zarel rolls his shoulder up. The Undertaker looks up and glares at the referee but stands and calls for the Tombstone. He lifts Zarel up onto his shoulder but Zarel slides down and counters into a reverse DDT. Zarel lays on the mat, still hurting after getting hit with the Last Ride. after a few seconds he gets to his feet, then pulls the Undertaker up and whips him to the ropes, then hits a spinebuster and goes for a pin.

1....2...

The Undertaker rolls his shoulder up. Zarel gets up and climbs the turnbuckle, then hits a clothesline off the top as the Undertaker gets to his feet, knocking him back to the mat. Zarel rolls to his feet and calls for a chokeslam. The Undertaker gets to his feet again and Zarel grabs him by the throat. The Undertaker knocks his arm away and grabs him by the throat instead, then hits a chokeslam of his own and goes for a pin.

1.....2.....

Zarel kicks out again just before the ref's hand can slap the mat a third time. The Undertaker gets up and pulls Zarel up, then goes for another Tombstone. Zarel shifts his weight and counters, seemingly into a tombstone of his own. Instead, Zarel lifts him onto his shoulder and hits a running powerslam, then goes for the pin.

1....2....

The undertaker kicks out again. Zarel stands up and calls for the powerbomb, and as he does the Undertaker sits up and gets to his feet. Zarel throws a right, connecting with the Undertaker's jaw, then attempts to whip him into the turnbuckle. The Undertaker reverses, then follows him in and hits him with a splash. The Undertaker steps back and lets Zarel stagger out, then lifts him onto his shoulder and hits snake eyes on the turnbuckle. The Undertaker runs and hits the ropes as Zarel stumbles and turns to face him. Before the Undertaker can hit the boot to the face, Zarel grabs him by the throat and hits him with a chokeslam. Zarel doesn't go for the pin but instead pulls him up and hits the D-Bomb, planting him in the center of the ring. Zarel then hooks his leg for the pin.

1....2....

The Undertaker somehow kicks out again. Zarel looks up at the referee in disbelief, then pulls him up and goes for another one. The Undertaker back body drops out of this one, then leans against the ropes for support. He turns back as Zarel stands him up and goes to lift him up for the Tombstone again but this time Zarel jumps down to the right side of him and turns him around, then lifts him up and hits the Cradle Piledriver, and goes for the pin.

1....2....3!

Mike: Oh my God! Zarel has beaten the Undertaker!
Janelle: And he beat him cleanly I might add.

Stricken hits as Zarel rolls off of the Undertaker and sits in the ring.

Announcer: Here is your winner, Zarel Damone!

Janelle: Speaking from what I know, Zarel just got a huge demon off his back. He's been craving that one decisive victory over the Phenom for a long time. And he got it without anyone's help.
Mike: Yeah, but doesn't he have yet another one ahead of him? He's never beaten Jarel cleanly either and there is some speculation that he can't.

Zarel stands up and looks out at the cheering crowd.

Janelle: We're going to find out next week. Brothers clash one more time. Who will be the better man?

Zarel raises his fists as flames erupt from the turnbuckles again and he smiles, relieved at having defeated the Undertaker, who makes his way to the back while Zarel celebrates and the show goes off the air
