In This Moment - The Gun Show Begins to Play as the lights turn to pulsating Red, Black and Gold Strobes. As the Guitar Chords are heard, Smoke is shooting up from the stage floor while Sparks are raining down from the rafters. This keeps going on until...... "Welcome To The Gun Show!" Next out comes Draze to a mass of cheers. He makes his way to the top of the ramp, before throwing 8 punches causing red pyrotechnics to go off behind him. Next he forms his arms into the Roaring Dragon as Gold Pyrotechnics go off in front of him. He makes his way down the ramp with a smile on his face.  "Making his to the ring, weighing in at 275 pounds, from Nashville, Tennessee, The Dragons Haze, DRAZE!!!!!" Draze then climbs into the ring as he removes his crown, wings, and armored changsan. He now paces the ring waiting for the bell.

'Where are the people that accu-se me?
The ones who beat me down and brui-se me?'
As soon as the first verse of Fireflight's 'Unbreakable' hit the speaker system, the arena darkened, and a dull blue tint was added to the lights that remained. Brody Robinson walked onto the stage, partially obscured by the dimmed lights, and he took his place at the edge of the ramp. He raised his left fist into the air, holding the position as the song continued.
"They hide just out of sight;
Can't fight me in the light.
They'll return, but I'll be stron-ger!"
'Gotta learn to dream again;
Take me where I've never been.
I wanna go there. This time I'm not scared!'
As the song's volume began to rise, Brody quickly brought his hand down into a fist pump in tandem with the beginning of the chorus. A quick jet of white pyro burst from either corner of the stage, and the lights immediately switched back on while keeping the subtle blue from before. Brody kept his position as the song continued, looking around the arena at the generous response the crowd was giving him, and the smile on his face showed that he was enjoying it. He had been doing pretty well as of late, and he had no intention of letting his cheering fans down. He started down the ramp, sticking close to the left edge of the ramp while he slapped at as many outstretched hands as he could.
"Now I am Unbreakable!
It's unmistakable!
Nothing can touch me; Nothing can stop me!'
'And his opponent...
From Zanesville Ohio, weighing in at 275 lbs., Brody Robinson!"
Once he reached the end of the ramp, Brody seemingly ignored the ring entirely, continuing down the barricade and continuing to slap at any hand offered to him. As soon as he got to the stairs nearest the announcer's tables, he finally broke of from the side and turned towards the ring, climbing up the steps and through the ropes. Once inside the ring, he looked over at Draze, and gave a quick nod in his direction, before spinning in place and stepping up to the second rope of the turnbuckle in front of him. He threw his left fist in the air once again, before slowly bringing it down and pointing out to the crowd. He pulled his hat off and chucked it into the crowd before he jumped backwards from the rope and turned to face the center of the ring once again. As his music faded out, he removed his flannel shirt and threw it of to ringside. As the ref called for the bell, Brody walked forward and extended a hand to Draze. Out of all people, Draze was the one guy Brody didn't expect to take advantage of a handshake. Even if Brody did bust his face open with a set of brass knuckles that one time.....

Draze happily accepts the hand shake as the crowd cheers. The bell rang and Draze right away got his game face on. Draze began circling around hoping Brody would follow suite and join in for the old fashioned Collar and Elbow Tie up!

Brody gladly accepted Draze's offer for a tie-up, and didn't wait long before he tried to bring Draze down into a headlock.

As soon as Draze is caught in the headlock, he tries shoving Brody off into the ropes. Knowing that Brody is very traditional in his wrestling approach, Draze knows Brody will most likely be rebounding with the classic shoulder block knockdown. To catch Brody off Guard, Draze will be running to and rebounding off of the opposite side ropes, trying to land a high angled Cross Body Block Take down!

Brody knew it was too early to try and hold Draze in place for long, and wasn't surprised when Draze pushed him forward to free his head. He bounced off the ropes, confident that he could turn the match back in his favor. But when he turned to see Draze jumping for the cross body, he cursed the fact that they'd done this so many times. Going along with his usual plan, however, he turned his shoulder inward and continued forward.
The two men collided, and Brody was knocked off his feet by the 275 lbs of flying Dragon. He hit the mat sideways, and Draze landing on him didn't help in the slightest. His shoulders throbbed from the collision, and he could only hope that Draze didn't expect to hit hard shoulder bone when he landed.

Draze rolls off of Brody, not expecting such a clever and creative counter to his Unique Offense. He got back to his feet, rubbing his sternum briefly. He quickly tried to halt Brody from advancing in with a boot that was coming up towards the "Good Guy's" Sternum! If Draze can connect with the kick, he will try grabbing Brody into his front chancery to try for a quick snap suplex!

Brody was only halfway to his knees when Draze's foot cracked into his ribs, and he rolled off to the side from the force. Hands over his chest, he tried to catch his breath while Draze picked him up from the mat. Stunned from the kick, he couldn't make an attempt to stop the suplex, and his back hit the mat once again. He rolled onto his side once his head was free, and put his arm over his back just in case Draze decided to follow up.

Draze quickly floats over for what looks to be the first pinfall attempt of the match! But Draze is really try to pin Brody's arms down the mat, before going to blast his right knee into Brody's face!

After seeing Draze seemingly go for the pin, Brody reflexively tried to force his torso off the mat, and his brash action ended with Draze's knee colliding hard with his head. His head crashed back into the mat, but he couldn't move his arms to help quell his new headache. Instead, he remained motionless on the map, eye blinking periodically to reassure the ref he hadn't been KO'd.

Draze sees his chance, and so does the crowd once Draze looms over Brody's face with his gloved right fist ready to put the pounding on Brody's face! It was nothing personal against Brody, Draze came to win King Of The Canvas, and he needs to beat Brody to get closer to his goal!

Seeing Draze lift his hand to begin pounding on his face, Brody crossed his arms in front of his face as fast as his battered reflexes would allow. With Draze punching his arms, Brody waited until he brought his arm up for another punch before rolling himself out of the way and out of the ring. He was able to land on his feet, but he stumbled over to the fan barricade, head still fairly clouded by pain. He needed the break, and he tried to catch his breath before Draze made another move.

Draze knows not to let Brody get a break. The Guy was much more dangerous and talented than people gave him credit for. So he quickly slid out of the ring on a different side before charging over, leaping onto the barricade, and then off, hoping to nail Brody with a high angled flying clothesline!

Had Draze tried to hit the clothesline directly from the ring, Brody might not have had enough time to get himself situated. Thankfully for him, however, Draze decided to take long the long route. Seeing the clothesline coming, Brody treated it like any other good clothesline, and ducked underneath it. Then, without checking to see if Draze landed on his feet or not, Brody clasped his hands together and spun around on his heel, trying to club Draze in the head with an impromtu double axe handle.
