WWG Championship Match
Dante Deranged(c) Vs Scott Carr
Chris Arenas: This is it folks… Win or Lose, Dante Deranged is done with WWG after this match, will it be for good? No one knows… what we do know is he faces one of his greatest challenges here tonight in the seven foot behemoth, Scott Carr.
Adrien Riley: It’s no shame to go out on your back to a man like him. He’s racked up accolades faster than nearly any competitor in WWG’s history – and he’s looking to do it again here tonight by trying to take his fourth title win from Dante.
"One Second of Insanity" bursts onto the speakers and the crowd roars. From behind the curtain, Dante walks out slowly at first, but picks up speed a little. He stops at the top of the walkway, looking left and right, before raising his right arm to the roof as a set of pyro bursts from the ground just in front of him.
Matt Thomas: Ladies and Gentlemen, I am proud to introduce to you first - Standing at a Height of Six Feet Even. Now entering the ring here tonight at an officially sanctioned weight of, Two Hundred and Thirteen pounds! He Hails from the Realm of Insanity! He is… He’s recorded as being the Longest Running World Champion - The Tormented Soul, The Angel of Death - El Angel de la Muerte! Your Current WWG World Champion…. DANTE DERANGED!
After the smoke clears, Dante bursts through, and hits the ring running, sliding in and popping to his feet in a matter of seconds. He ascends a turnbuckle and raises a hand for the crowd, before dropping back down and awaiting his opponent. The arena lights go out. The audience falls under a hush a building riff comes over the P.A. as "Here I Am" by Dirtfedd beings blasting through the arena as all audible hell breaks loose and the stage erupts into a wall of inferno. As the flames subside there is a silhouette standing at the entranceway. Hood pulled up, cap pulled down, head rocking to the tune.
Matt Thomas: Hailing from Arnprior County, Ontario Canada, he is the 2010 AND 2011 Wrestler of the Year! He is a Three Time WWG World Champion, He’s recorded as being the second Longest Running World Champion and New Era Icon! Standing Seven foot two, weighing in at Four hundred and Twenty pounds… he is… SCOTT CARR!
The audience erupts as he throws arms up into his devil horn high sign – and then points down at the ring as a three dimensional red laser light truck appears behind him. It tears down the ramp leaving two trails of fire rolling up around Carr’s feet as he tosses his hoodie to one side of the crowd and his hat to the other side. Carr rolls under the bottom rope and into the ring, he gets to a knee in the middle of the WWG logo and springs up stomping his foot down as he throws up his signature devil horns again – this time causing all four ring posts to explode up into balls of flame. Matt Thomas and the referee both keep their distance from Carr who settles back into his corner, taking a seat on the top turnbuckle as he glares with cold, emotionless eyes at his upcoming opponent.
Chris Arenas: Carr steps down out of the corner, the referee calls for the bell and we’re under way!
Adrien Riley: This is going to be one hell of a match.
The referee takes the World Heavyweight Championship from the hands of Dante, he then holds it off in front of Scott Carr and raises it high in the air in the middle of the ring for all the fans to see and cheer. Dante gazes upon the World Heavyweight Championship for a few moments, before eying the challenger for the World Championship. Checking with both men, ensuring that they are in fact prepared for the match, the referee signals for the bell to be rung and this match is underway! Carr and Dante circle one another with both of the men now inside the squared circle, the fans begin to clamor for the match to begin.
Chris Arenas: The fans are bubbling over – this is one of the most anticipated matches in recent memory.
Adrien Riley: There have never been two more dominant champions that these men in the ring! This is following the Dream Match yet this is a classic bout of WWG’s Legend versus WWG’s New Era.
The men encircle each other in the ring for a few moments, allowing the fans anticipation to continue to build. Surprisingly enough, both men seemed to be getting a mixture of cheers and jeers from the crowd. Both men, however, ignored the fans and continued to stare into their opponent's eyes. Finally, they connect with a lock-up! Scott Carr looks to take the first advantage by simply overpowering the Hall of Fame wrestler, but Dante ducks the lock-up and instead sweeps the legs of Scott Carr, sending the challenger for the World Champion to the canvas. Barely allowing himself to stay down on the canvas, Carr quickly recovers and eyes Dante. They hook into another lock-up! Again, Dante ducks the hold and sweeps the legs out from under Scott Carr. Although doing no physical damage, Carr instead slammed his fist in the canvas out of sheer frustration before rising once again and eying the Legendary wrestler with daggers in his eyes. In response, Dante gave a shrug.
Chris Arenas: Dante isn’t giving Carr much respect here.
Adrien Riley: Dante hasn’t ever given Scott much respect.
Chris Arenas: He should be a bit more cautious here. Carr is notorious for gaining a head of steam later in his matches. He’s got spectacular stamina for a man his size.
Adrien Riley: He’s a big wild mad man.
Just as Riley said this, once again the duo went in for a potential lock-up. This time, however, Carr countered Dante's dodge and latched onto the champion with a firm grip, smiling in a slightly sinister fashion before lifting the comparably diminutive Dante into the air for a gorilla press slam. Releasing Dante, Carr allows his opponent drop to the canvas, but Dante is able to maintain a sense of balance and lands with his arms extended downward. As Carr turned to see his supposed victim, Dante pushed off of the canvas and catching the challenger in the chin with a sharp kick, stunning Carr causing him to back into a corner. Trying to take advantage of the opportunity, Dante returns to a standing position before running towards the occupied corner. Dante drills Carr with his Hesitation Drop Kick. Taking a step back, Dante measures up Carr again, this time lifting his knee and jumping in the air, Dante looked to make another quick strike, which was exactly what Carr was counting on. Catching Dante mid jump, the big man quickly dumps the Hall of Fame wrestler over the top rope and made sure this time that his opponent hit the floor shoulder first, full force with a sickening thud.
Chris Arenas: That’s what I was talking about. Carr hasn’t been in WWG for a long time – but he isn’t new to this business and people who face him need to remember that.
Adrien Riley: Dante doesn’t need to remember that, he needs to remember where he is and who he is in there with once he regains his faculties.
Chris Arenas: It’s a know fact that Scott will use every inch of the ring side environment to gain success in a match. He’s never been one for reaching for a weapon – but he’ll impale an opponent in or on any damned thing he can.
Adrien Riley: That’s all anyone needs – an absolute monster who is willing to throw you through the guard rail or a table or into a ring post.
As Dante cradles his shoulder on the outside, the referee begins to start the ten count in the ring, but Scott Carr wasn't having any of that. Climbing over the top rope, Carr jumps to the floor, expecting to pick on a wounded Dante. Instead, however, Carr is greeted by a roaring lariat before he feels an arm wrapped around his neck, Dante launches himself into the air taking Carr down to the floor himself with a Dante Tornado DDT off the apron! Still holding his shoulder, Dante makes sure Carr isn’t getting up right away before climbing back into the ring, taking the time to nurse his wounds and wait instead of rushing in as he had been doing. Once again, the referee begins his ten-count.
Chris Arenas: Carr’s not going to stay down long.
Adrien Riley: He’s only got a ten count to get back inside though.
Indeed, Scott Carr was already beginning to stir from the floor and as he got up, seemed to be none the worse for wear. The fire in the World Champion's eyes though, told the crowd the true story. And as the challenger climbed back into the ring, the fans began to wait in anticipation for what they expected to be a knockdown drag-out fight about to occur. Dante, now just about recovered from his tumble, eyed the challenger with a hesitation, as if trying to figure out how to come out on top of this situation on top. Little did he realize, Scott Carr was already enacting his plan and as Dante continued to ponder, Carr soon had him effectively trapped in the corner. Suddenly coming to the realization of the slight misstep he had just made, Dante looked around in desperation for a quick escape. It was then that Scott Carr charged in, looking to put a lariat in effect but Dante, using his agility, uses the top rope and vaults above the challenger in the corner. Unfortunately, for the Legendary wrestler, the shoulder was still not at one hundred percent and Dante could not hold for long, and Carr once again took advantage, latching onto the wounded Champ. Carr rips him up high in the air with a Canadian Torture Rack before bringing Dante down hard with a modified bomb that shakes the ring with effective force and incites a giant pop. Mixing cheers and jeers from the crowd.
Chris Arenas: These two are ripping the audience in Half!
Adrien Riley: Looks like they’re trying to rip the ring in half too.
Chris Arenas: It’s Old School versus the New Blood and these fans are eating it up!
Adrien Riley: These men are icons of different eras in WWG. Both men personify their respective timelines. OH! Scott is trying to end this quickly
Carr goes for the cover and the referee drops to the canvas.
Ref: 1...2.. kickout by Dante!
Chris Arenas: Considering how early Carr went for that I think he’s trying to show Dante a little disrespect right back.
Adrien Riley: That’s kind of subtle for Carr.
Chris Arenas: It’s tricky to disrespect a man like Dante being the way Scott has shown us he is.
Adrien Riley: He’s rude and mean and swears way too much.
The Champion barely manages to get his weakened shoulder up but now Carr is in control as he lifts Dante up by his hair and takes him to his feet before giving off one of his sinister smiles and delivering a hard clothesline that literally makes Dante twist into the air before collapsing to the canvas once again. Dante gets to all fours and Carr rebounds off the ropes sliding in – dropping a knee shot into the head and shoulder of the champion! Again Scott Carr goes for the lazy cover.
Ref: 1...2..... kickout!
Whether through sheer will or desire, Dante again gets his shoulder off the canvas.
Chris Arenas: THAT is why he’s been a champion as long as he has!
Adrien Riley: Most people wouldn’t have kicked out of that.
Chris Arenas: But Dante did!
Adrien Riley: But barely, Dante needs to turn this around soon.
But instead of being frustrated, Carr continued to smile. The fans slowly started to come to the realization that the Champ wasn't going to be deterred by his opponent's constant pin attempts, nor the challenger discouraged by the many kick outs. Instead he was pleased, pleased that he would be allowed to put more pain and punishment without someone telling him to stop. The referee is checking to make sure Dante was still fit to continue, Carr interrupts and drags Dante to the center of the ring and grabs hold of the Dante's legs. Stepping in between them, Carr twists his opponent's legs into a cross and turns, putting the center of his own weight onto the back of his opponent's, The Breakdown! The camera zooms in on the ring, we watch Dante writhe in pain and agony as Scott Carr continues to cinch in that calf cutter submission. Further and further he goes, until Carr's back nearly touches Dante's. Dante is seen pushing and pulling as hard as he can in any direction, trying desperately to reach the ropes. Finally, he goes all out and pushes himself up in the air, directly competing with Carr's strength.
Chris Arenas: That is unheard of! No one tried to match strength with Carr, especially in the midst of a submission hold.
Adrien Riley: A Russian submission hold… held onto by a Canadian!
The fans actually begin to cheer the Deranged one as he strains with all his might, the veins in his neck now visually apparent for the camera to see. Then, the unimaginable happens. Dante uses his force, to push underneath Carr's lock, popping out from under the challenger and forcing Carr to release the hold. Momentarily stunned, Carr is unprepared for the true desperation and definition of the technical prowess of Dante, who unleashes a lightening quick jump into a Spinning back Kick that catches Carr square in the jaw. Carr crashes to the floor in a heap and Dante stumbles in quite apparent pain, until falling himself to the canvas, wrapping his arm around the bottom rope and gasping for air, desperate to use the short amount of time available to recover. Carr looks furious as he slowly gets to his knees. Dante pulls himself up with the ropes, pushes back into them, rebounds and off lands a HUGE spinning heel kick into the side of Carr’s head, causing Carr to fall, slamming his head hard against the canvas! With Carr down, and the ref and everyone else is in shock as to what just happened. Dante is still feeling the effects of the match thus far - Scott Carr gets back up, Dante goes to lock up but Carr takes his legs and rips Dante up off the canvas, Dante drives punches and elbows into the back of Carr’s head as Carr charges him into the corner. Dante tries grabbing the top rope but Carr pushes through him. Throwing Dante backwards out of the ring, over the post and down onto the steps!
Chris Arenas: OW! Dante is down again!
Adrien Riley: That was ruthless!
Chris Arenas: Do you expect anything else from Carr?
Adrien Riley: No, and I expect him to go hunting Dante on the outside just like he is.
Carr does rolls to the outside, he takes a handful of Dante’s hair and pulls him up to his feet. Dante drives a three picture perfect European uppercuts into the underside of Carr’s jaw. Carr sways but doesn’t go down, dazed as he is – Dante has enough ring presence to jump up onto the guard railing and flip back off into a springboard cross body that ploughs the spine of Carr into the steel steps! Dante rolls off and crawls away trying to regain his faculties.
Chris Arenas: OH BOY! Dante comes right back at Carr and he’s trying to take the big man’s back away from him!
Adrien Riley: That’s generous intelligence on the part of the champion. Everyone else tries to take the head or legs away from Carr, nobody tries to take his back away. There’s no way he can pull off – well… ANY of his major moves with a weakened back!
Chris Arenas: Dante is a smart competitor and he’ll be as vicious as they come if needs force him to.
Dante grabs the apron and pulls himself back into the ring. At this point it’s clear the referee is giving way to audience reaction. He’s not bothering to count either man out, this match is far too important for that. Carr slowly begins to get up – he doesn’t seem to know where Dante is, he looks around ringside and even into the ring – but looks to the top of the ring posts too late, when Dante launches himself, corner to corner outside the ring into one of the biggest Hurricanranas we’ve Ever Seen! The momentum alone is enough to send Carr hurtling through the side of the time keeper’s table exploding the whole thing and probably Scott’s spine into pieces!
Adrien Riley: DANTE CAN FLY!?
Chris Arenas: It seems in this case he can! From one ring post to another, all the way to the outside! Dante has said this is his last match in WWG, he never told us he’d aim to make it Scott Carr’s as well!
Adrien Riley: Dante is back on the attack!
Indeed he is, Dante straddles Carr’s back as Carr ever so slowly gets back to all fours. Dante locks in a full nelson and guides Carr to his feet, Dante checks over his shoulder making sure to try and aim Scott at the announce table with his patented Dragon Suplex.
Chris Arenas: With a lower center of gravity – and a groggy monster in his clutches, Dante may be about to pull off the biggest suplex of the night!
Adrien Riley: Dante is getting this lined up and I’m not sure Carr knows where he’s at right now.
Carr falls to a knee and there is a mixed sigh of both relief and distress from the crowd – as Dante tries to pull the big man back to his feet again. Dante loosens the grip he’s got to get himself a better one – but Carr was playing possum, he turns and stands up beneath Dante picking him up as he rises to his feet and Dante’s head is driven through the announce table via Carr’s – Burning Hammer Variation! The announce table, Dante and Carr all collapse to the ground at a sickeningly brutal pace and severity.
Chris Arenas: LOOK OUT RILEY! Geez, Dante just got caught in the middle of a Wicked Carr Wreck!
Adrien Riley: They’re destroying the entire ring side set up. And who builds these announce tables? We need a good, solid metal one.
Chris Arenas: I think we saw some of that aforementioned ring experience from Carr. That is pure Instinct right there.
Adrien Riley: To be fair, there was a good portion of desperation to that move too.
Chris Arenas: No matter what the recipe it worked.
Carr is slow to getting on all fours and Dante begins to stir. Carr looks over at Dante and forces himself up to his knees. Dante rolls to his stomach, blood begins dripping from his scalp as he fights to get up off the smashed table and cold concrete. Dante gets to his knees and both competitors look at one another – seeming to have no immediate steam left to get to their feet – they begin throwing weakened rights and lefts back and forth at one another. Carr and Dante both begin to sway, Carr fires off another big cross and with winning in mind, Dante falls to the ground, and comes back up swinging a piece of the busted table across Carr’s skull. Carr collapses to the ground and Dante begins to slowly crawl towards the ring
Adrien Riley: Dante is trying to make his way back to the ring here. He’s certainly going to make it there before Carr does after that last shot.
Chris Arenas: Carr’s never been one to stay down long.
Adrien Riley: Especially when he’s hit in the head.
Chris Arenas: He’s beginning to stir already.
Dante tries to get into the ring, but abuse and strain on his high stamina are making it a slow process. Dante turns against the apron and sees Carr getting back to his feet, Dante steps out from the ring and seemingly out of nowhere Carr impales him with a blind Carr Crash that sends them both plowing through the steel steps!
Adrien Riley: Again, both men are down – and again we’re left short one landmark to the ringside area.
Chris Arenas: Carr and Dante both blew right through those steps… these two have turned this ring into something like a natural disaster here!
Adrien Riley: Neither of these two knows how to quit. It’s not good, but it’s fine if Dante’s career ends tonight, he’s leaving WWG. But why is Scott Carr risking leaving his career on the canvas too?
Chris Arenas: Because regardless of his winning or losing the match. Scott Carr has something to prove to all of the Legends in this company… that he is one!
Carr’s bleeding now too – but the champion is sprawled out across the top of the strewn steps, arms and legs wide – splayed over the edges. Carr tries pushing himself up but flops back down to the floor again.
Adrien Riley: This is unmerciful. These two aren’t giving one another an inch. Someone is going to wind up seriously injured from all this.
Chris Arenas: I don’t think that’s going to stop either of them.
Carr forces himself back to his feet just as Dante comes around. Scott falls against the ring apron and pulls himself inside while Dante sits up on the steps and with a stunned look in his face and resolve in his eyes – he begins to make his way to the ring. Carr is inside already but he’s laying on his back in the middle of the ring. Dante climbs to the apron and clings to the top rope regaining his energy as best he can with the time this breather avails them both.
Adrien Riley: This crowd is divided in two… half of them want to see Carr win, the other half want to see Dante walk away as an Undefeated Champion.
Chris Arenas: They can’t all get what they want. One of these men have to win this match. Who, I have no idea whatsoever. This has been one of the best back and forth matches of the night with both men pulling out virtually every stop and there’s no end in sight to the match right now.
Carr gets to all fours in the middle of the ring. Dante is watching him intently as he does – Carr gets to his feet and out of nowhere Dante vaults to the top rope and launches himself off with another springboard cross body that plants Carr hard into the canvas! Dante goes for a pin!
Ref: 1…2… KICKOUT!
Adrien Riley: Close Kickout by Carr!
Chris Arenas: Dante isn’t pleased with that close call. He wanted it all over.
Adrien Riley: No ****. Who would want to be stuck in there with Carr any longer than need be?
Chris Arenas: Dante is getting back to his feet…. What’s he doing… what is he doing?
Dante waits for Carr to get back to all fours – Dante straddles Carr’s back and locks in a Rear Naked Choke!
Adrien Riley: Dante is going for the choke out! He is going to choke the very life out of Scott Carr to retain the championship!
Chris Arenas: Dante locks it in deep! He’s squeezing hard and cutting off the circulation and oxygen to Carr’s brain. It won’t be long until the challenger is completely unconscious.
Fading fast – Carr fights against Dante’s welded grasp, Carr reaches for the ropes but with his vision blurring from depravation, he’s merely swiping at midair. His arms drop back down and his eyes roll back into his head.
Adrien Riley: This could be it right here… the referee is checking him out.
The ref lifts Carr’s arm once… it drops. The ref lifts Carr’s arm a second time… it drops. The audience, or half of it anyways begins to chant his name over and over again – meanwhile the rest begin to roar their approval thinking Dante has pulled out the victory. The ref lifts Carr’s arm a third time and this time – Carr grabs a handful of Dante’s hair! Breathless and dazed – Carr’s immense strength which is quickly waning – is all he’s got when he fights to his feet with Dante on his back synching the move in all that much more tightly. Carr charges backwards slamming Dante into the corner, he takes a step forward and rams Dante into the turnbuckles again. Dante won’t let go so Carr begins to climb up the turnbuckles with Dante still strangling him. Dante figures whatever is about to happen is going to be bad – so he jumps down to the apron giving up the hold, the referee would soon have to break anyways. Carr sits atop the turnbuckles wavering and hazy. Dante pulls Carr backwards over his shoulders and delivers a modified Tormented Torture Driver from the top rope all the way to the outside!
Chris Arenas: Dante’s TTD! The Tormented Torture Driver all the way from the penthouse to the basement!
Adrien Riley: Actually it was from the top rope to the floor, but thank you for over exaggerating.
Chris Arenas: It’s called colour commentary for a reason, Riley.
Adrien Riley: I don’t see Colours. I’m a forward thinking individual.
Chris Arenas: You’re a rarely thinking individual. Unlike Dante who used ring presence, talent and experience to modify one of his own finishers so he could put it on a man almost twice his weight.
Dante tries to lift Carr up but Carr’s hurt and going nowhere fast. Dante takes a few steps back and as Carr gets to a knee – he drives a Shining Wizard into Carr’s jaw, dropping the big man back against the apron.
Adrien Riley: Look out!
Chris Arenas: It’s a little late for that now. The real question is how does he manipulate him back into the ring?
Adrien Riley: I think he just did it for a chance to breath.
Chris Arenas: That’s a good point. Dante is back inside the ring and so he pulled Carr’s arm in under the bottom rope, he’s yanking the challenger back into the ring the best he can.
Carr slowly begins to rally around as Dante tugs him into the ring again. Dante leaves Carr sprawled out in the middle of the ring. Dante knows desperate times call for desperate measures – he ascends the turnbuckles and the audience erupts. They’re all awaiting The Prestige.
Adrien Riley: Here it comes! He’s got Carr measured up and he’s making sure there’s little to no movement from the challenger.
Chris Arenas: He’s on his feet! Carr is still flat out and prone. This could be all folks!
Dante leaps off with his shooting star press – the ring experience of Carr shines through when he lifts one, not two knees – taking Dante right on the chin so hard the champion doesn’t flop around on the canvas as we typically expect. Instead he’s hit so hard he stands up straight and falls back into the corner he just leaped off of. Carr forces himself to his feet yet again and charges the corner – impaling Dante’s skull with another knee shot from a massive Busaiku Knee Kick! Clearly Carr does this with no regard for his own safety as he hurtles over the top rope and collides with the steel steps outside the ring! Dante staggers out of the corner and falls face first into the middle of the canvas.
Adrien Riley: Head On – right in the corner!
Chris Arenas: Dante had nowhere to go and a four hundred plus pound man putting a knee straight to his face. But Carr took a wicked spill there. We’ll need to see if he can even go on.
Adrien Riley: I don’t know how either of them are going on at this point – they’ve literally both thrown every one of their biggest moves at one another and had a wickedly brutal match surrounding all those hot spots.
Chris Arenas: It’s true. I’ve never seen an audience so ripped right in two as we’re hearing tonight. These men are both putting their careers on the line – whoever wins this match at this point - isn’t going to have won it by much.
Dante begins to get restless in the middle of the ring, Carr’s hand is seen reaching for the apron. Carr rolls himself into the ring and kneels in the corner. Dante spots him – Dante struggles to his feet and yanks down his kneepad for extra measure as Carr turns just in time to see another Shining Wizard collide with his head! Carr clings to the ropes desperately, Dante tries pulling him out of the corner but in sheer will Scott won’t let go despite looking nearly unconscious. Dante is frustrated to say the least. Dante pulls on Carr with all his might and finally Carr’s grasp breaks and he collapses into the ring – but his long legs dangle outside. Dante sees Carr’s beginning to stir again. Long after his body would have given way to the three count. Dante knows it’s just a matter of time until Carr gets back to a knee – so he steps back and waits.
Adrien Riley: Dante has this in the bag! He can barely stand himself, but Carr’s out on his feet!
Chris Arenas: The audience is on fire! I’ve never ever heard them like this before!
Adrien Riley: Carr’s getting back to a knee…. Here we go!
Chris Arenas: This is it folks! WWG’s Undefeated champion bests, WWG’s hopeful first and only Four Time champion right here at the biggest night of the year!
Dante rushes Carr as Scott gets to a knee, Dante goes for the Shining wizard but Carr ducks the knee shot! Dante drops down and turns around – as Carr gets up and grabs him by the throat – ripping Dante off the ground he impales the current Champion across the same knee he used to step up on in the dead center of the ring! Carr falls on top of Dante in a heap and the referee slides in for the count!
Ref: 1… 2…. 3!
Adrien Riley: UNBELIEVABLE!
Chris Arenas: WE HAVE A NEW CHAMPION!
Adrien Riley: The sadistic, the ruthless, the brutal – Scott Carr! I don’t think anyone thought he could do it!
Chris Arenas: At least half this arena thought he could – and he did! Barely, by god he did it by the skin of his teeth, but he did it!
Adrien Riley: Carr’s too out of it to even enjoy or celebrate his victory right now.
Chris Arenas: Both these men left their heart and soul in that ring tonight. No matter who won – no one had the right to be ashamed of their performance.
Adrien Riley: If nothing else, Scott Carr just showed us how quickly his Carr Bomb can come out of absolutely nothing and end a match.
Chris Arenas: That move can leave anyone temporarily paralyzed…. Spectacular a legend as Dante is – he’s human and he proved that his will, his talent and his worth to WWG are all… Super Human!
Frustrated, Dante pushes Carr off of him as the big man begins to come around. Dante gets to his knees and takes a look at the title being handed to Carr. He simply shakes his head and rolls out of the ring making his way up the ramp slowly. Carr asks the referee for something and he is handed the title and a microphone.
Adrien Riley: What’s he doing?
Chris Arenas: I hope he doesn’t gloat.
Carr: Hey…. **** face.
Adrien Riley: Dante doesn’t deserve to be insulted right now… come on, Scott.
Chris Arenas: There’s no need to be a spoiled sport.
Carr: Since when were you the lone ranger? What… you just ride off into the **** sunset and forget these fans who’ve MADE your career worth having?
Scott sits up – the entire arena is in stunned silence. Dante turns around to glare at Carr with a fiery hatred they’ve built in the past several months.
Carr: Man… this is WWG… we don’t let our Legends go out like that – not so long as I live here! Bring that ass back down to this ring… you’ve got twenty-two thousand in attendance and Millions world wide… Who all want a chance to say Goodbye.
Adrien Riley: Wow…
Chris Arenas: I… I know Scott’s loyal to the company beyond question – but this is an incredible homage on his part.
Adrien Riley: Cuss laden as it is, you’re too right. Scott wants Dante sent off properly.
Carr: COME ON PEOPLE! DAN-TE! DAN-TE! DAN-TE! DAN-TE! DAN-TE!
Chris Arenas: Carr is cheering for Dante!?
Adrien Riley: Unbelievable… totally… just… I’ve never seen anything like this and the audience is following suit!
The truth is, many more than those in the arena are passionately hoping Dante will re-enter the ring, and he does. Carr gets back to his feet and drapes the world title back over Dante’s shoulder.
Carr: It doesn’t matter who the winner was… WWG knows a Champion when we see it. Just know, Dante… even if you’re gone – you’re not forgotten. And in your absence… you leave this company in the hands of a men who love it just as much as you do…
Chris Arenas: Incredible.
Adrien Riley: He’s making sure Dante ends his night, and his career with cheering fans and a world title on his shoulder. I’ve never seen anyone do anything like this.
Carr: Hey… Audio! The Champ probably wants to hear his music.
The Butterfly Effect’s "One Second of Insanity" bursts onto the speakers and the crowd roars. The entire WWG roster pour out onto the stage as Carr rolls out under the bottom rope and leaves Dante in the ring to absorb all the adulation of the fans. The crowd cheer for him as well, but the “DAN-TE” chant Carr started is still going strong. Scott walks up to Gabriel Tizo and leans down to say something in his ear. Gabriel nods and pats Carr on the shoulder. Carr turns and roars at the crowd, hyping them up even more before he makes his way through the crowded ramp backstage – leaving behind the entire WWG roster who all clap and cheers for Dante who stands in absolute awe, fighting back the emotions being pulled up from the reaction he’s receiving.
Chris Arenas: One of our Legends gets exactly what he wants… he’ll walk out tonight with his title over his shoulder – even though he passed the torch.
Adrien Riley: What an incredible evening… I can’t believe Scott Carr pulled a move like this.
Chris Arenas: I’ve never seen anyone do anything like this – ever… Scott should be soaking in his glory right now. Though he’s given it all to WWG’s Hall of Fame Legend – Dante Deranged. From all of us in WWG, thank you for joining us for another exciting New Generation event! On behalf of Adrien Riley, this is Chris Arenas saying – Don’t miss the next Legacy! Good Night Everyone!
The event fades out as pyro erupts from the ring posts and confetti and glitter dance through the atmosphere, settling down around the fans and a thankful Dante, who waves his goodbyes to all the roaring fans and cheering roster.
