TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH
Rene Dupree (c) vs Samoa Joe
The Brooklyn arena is all on their feet as Samoa Joe leaps up to his feet and is met by a fury of punches by Rene Dupree. The two men quickly begin exchanging punch after punch after punch. No mercy shown by either man. Finally, it looks like the pain from the previous beating has Rene Dupree weakened and it's taken its toll.
Samoa Joe has captured control from the slug fest and he is now taking liberties to the legs of Rene Dupree, with wicked kick after kick. Rene Dupree falls to a knee and Samoa Joe begins kicking away at the already injured right arm of Rene Dupree that was just thrown into the steel steps. Rene Dupree lets out scream after scream, but is refusing to give up as he pushes himself up to his feet. Rene Dupree charges forward and drills Samoa Joe in the face with a right that sends the crowd in a frenzy. Samoa Joe stumbles back and Rene Dupree charges forward, but....
.... Samoa Joe grabs Rene Dupree and swings him into the turnbuckle, back first. Samoa Joe quickly begins firing away with a fury of chops to the face, throat and rib area of Rene Dupree, before finishing it off with a powerful clothesline. Samoa Joe steps away and Rene Dupree falls down to all fours. Samoa Joe takes a step back, but uses that for force as he drills Rene Dupree right in the chest with a vicious kick. Rene Dupree falls to his side, but is then forced onto his back by Samoa Joe, as he hooks the leg for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
- RENE DUPREE KICKS OUT!
The crowd cheers as Rene Dupree gets his shoulder off the mat, on time.
Samoa Joe is not impressed.
Samoa Joe quickly yanks Rene Dupree up to his feet and once again, swings him into the turnbuckle post. Rene hits it hard, but leans against it. Samoa Joe walks over and gives Rene Dupree one final chop to the chest, before positioning himself by the legs of Rene Dupree. Samoa Joe goes to lift Rene Dupree up, but The French Phenom begins striking down on the back of Samoa Joe with vicious hammer shots. Samoa Joe can feel the pain, but counters by spearing his shoulder right into the gut of Rene Dupree, pinning him against the turnbuckle.
That sucks the energy right out of Rene Dupree.
Samoa Joe continues with lifting Rene Dupree up and he does, sitting him up on the top turnbuckle. Samoa Joe is going for the early kill, as he steps onto the bottom rope and reaches up for the head of Rene Dupree, but....
.... Rene Dupree begins firing back with lefts and rights to the face of Samoa Joe. After a few shots, Samoa Joe falls off the bottom turnbuckle and stumbles back. Samoa Joe sees his opponent still sitting on the top turnbuckle, so he charges forward and....
.... RIGHT INTO A BIG BOOT!
Rene Dupree lifted his leg up and cracked Samoa Joe's face with the bottom of his boot.
Samoa Joe begins stumbling back and the crowd erupts in cheers. Rene Dupree jumps off the turnbuckle and quickly gets behind Samoa Joe and locks in the FRENCH TICKLER!
The crowd erupts in cheers as the chicken wing submission has been applied. The same submission Rene Dupree has used to defeat some of his greatest opponents. He may be using it to submit Samoa Joe right now!
However, there is still too much left in Samoa Joe and he begins back peddling at full speed, forcing the body of Rene Dupree to crash against the turnbuckle. Rene Dupree releases the submission and leans against the turnbuckle, in more pain. Samoa Joe stumbles away and falls to a knee. Rene Dupree senses that his chances are dwindling away so with a heave of energy, he charges forward towards Samoa Joe and....
.... walks right into the Samoan Drop!
From out of nowhere.
Samoa Joe rolls himself on top of Rene Dupree and hooks the leg for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THR-
- RENE DUPREE KICKS OUT!
That gets more cheers from the crowd and Samoa Joe is unhappy about this. Samoa Joe angrily gets to his feet and rubs off whatever pain he has in his chin from the boot. He angrily crouches over and yanks Rene Dupree up to his feet, again and runs him to the turnbuckle post, again. Samoa Joe quickly lifts Rene Dupree up onto the top turnbuckle, this time with no struggle. Samoa Joe quickly gets to the bottom turnbuckle, reaches up and lifts the huge Rene Dupree right onto his shoulders and....
.... MUSCLEBUSTER!
The crowd falls to silence as The French Phenom lays spread eagle on the mat. Samoa Joe sits up with a huge grin on his face as he looks down at his own lap, smiling. Proud of the move he just connected on. Samoa Joe turns his body around and smiles at the downed body of Rene Dupree. Just as slowly, Samoa Joe crawls over to Rene Dupree and hooks the leg for the pin!
ONE!
TWO!
THRE-
- RENE DUPREE KICKS OUT!
Paul Heyman- HOLY SH-
Jim Ross- BAH GAWD! RENE DUPREE KICKED OUT! RENE DUPREE KICKED OUT!
King- AH! I can't believe it!
Paul Heyman- Neither can Samoa Joe!
Jim Ross- This is the hero I was talking about! This is Rene Dupree! This is the French Phenom! This is that man!
Samoa Joe sits up, in disbelief. He looks onto that same lap of his that he just looked at a few seconds ago, except this time he is not smiling. He is in complete disbelief. Samoa Joe looks up at the crowd and sees them all cheering. Something is flashing right before his eyes right now and the cheering crowd is making this Samoan killer see red!
Samoa Joe angrily gets to his feet and he is furious as he speed walks over to the turnbuckle. He grabs the top turnbuckle and begins ripping the padding right off!
Samoa Joe has exposed the top turnbuckle!
The referee goes to stop Samoa Joe, but is quickly scared off by the non caring Samoa Joe. Samoa Joe discards with the padding by throwing it to the outside of the ring. He then storms over to Rene Dupree and yanks the disheveled body of Rene Dupree up to his feet. He grabs Dupree by his blonde hair and walks him over to the exposed turnbuckle. Samoa Joe is showing no mercy as he pulls the head of Rene Dupree back and....
.... FOOT ON THE MIDDLE TURNBUCKLE!
Rene Dupree counters with an elbow to the face of Samoa Joe!
Rene Dupree grabs Samoa Joe and slams him face first into the exposed turnbuckle! Once! Twice! Three times! Four times! Finally, a fifth time!
Rene Dupree releases the head of Samoa Joe and he stumbles away, leaking blood from his forehead. Samoa Joe falls to his ass and is sitting up, a bloody and confused man.
Samoa Joe is bleeding!
Rene Dupree leans against the turnbuckle, but then charges forward with a running knee right to the face of Samoa Joe!
The Samoan Submission Machine collapses onto his back and Rene Dupree dives his body on top of the body of Samoa Joe, for the desperation pin! The crowd counts along!
ONEEEEEEEEE!
TWOOOOOOOOO!
THRRRRRRRRRRRRR-
- SAMOA JOE KICKS OUT!
The crowd lets out the worlds loudest sigh ever. The groans echo through the arena as Samoa Joe has gotten his shoulder off the mat, right at the last second. The crowd can not believe it. Neither can the desperate and exhausted, Rene Dupree.
Jim Ross- AH! DAMN IT!
Paul Heyman- As dazed as Samoa Joe is right now, he was still able to find his whereabouts and realize he was down for the count! Excellent performance by both men!
King- This is insane! Neither man is staying down! Ha, ha, I'm loving it!
Jim Ross- Come on, Dupree! Get up, boy! Fight that son of a bitch! Make that bloody pig bleed some more! Make him pay!
"DU-PREE! DU-PREE! DU-PREE! DU-PREE!"
The crowd chants the name of the KWF Television Champion, The French Phenom, Rene Dupree.
The Brooklyn crowd is trying their best to get Rene Dupree up to his feet and slowly, but surely, the French Phenom gives them what they want.
Rene Dupree rises to his feet!
The crowd is going insane in cheers as the exhausted Rene Dupree looks around at his cheering and adoring fans. It's vintage time!
FRENCH TICKLER!
Rene Dupree does his vintage dance for the cheering crowd. He hops from one side to the other, to the other. All with a face filled with agonizing pain. Agonizing pain that he is doing everything he can to fight through. However, he is ready for the finish right now.
It's now or never for Rene Dupree.
Rene Dupree bends over and picks Samoa Joe up to his feet, who is on all fours with blood leaking from his forehead. Rene Dupree puts him under his arms, nods his head at the crowd and lifts the body of Samoa Joe into the air for his version of the Michonoku Driver, the....
.... FRENCH CONNEC-
- CAN'T HOLD HIM UP!
The right arm of Rene Dupree seems to have given out and he has dropped the body weight of Samoa Joe. Samoa Joe lands on all fours right beside Rene Dupree, who is down to one knee, holding onto that right arm.
Out of desperation, Samoa Joe pushes himself up to his feet and sneaks behind Rene Dupree, wraps his arms around the throat of Rene Dupree and locks in the COQUINA CLUTCH!
The submission is locked in once Samoa Joe wraps his legs around the waist of The Frenchmen. The KWF Television Championship is trapped in the middle of the ring, in this submission. Samoa Joe holds on as tight as possible, with blood rushing out of his head. Both men are experiencing pain that not many men would be able to withstand.
Rene Dupree is doing whatever he can by reaching out, hoping for some sign or feeling of the ropes. However, he is only able to reach with his left arm as his injured right arm is being trapped into this submission. The crowd cheer as loud as they can to help Rene Dupree, but there is nothing possible right now that could help The French Phenom out of this.
Blood continues gushing out of the head of Samoa Joe, as he holds the submission in.
Rene Dupree is in excruciating pain and has went through hell for the past few minutes. From before the bell even rang.
The advantage has been Samoa Joe throughout, but Rene Dupree's heart made this match happen.
That same heart has now cost him his title.
Rene Dupree finally taps out.
Winner and NEW Television Champion- Samoa Joe
