Tech crew start to gather around the ring as they behind setting up some ladders outside and by the ramp way in preparing for the tag team title match. The Tag Team Championship Belts are hanging 15 feet above the ring as the fans start to watch in excitement is about to occur.
Copeland: Well Jack, we’ve been with the WZCW for a good while now and I don’t think we were ever prepared for this upcoming match, like ever before
Cohen: I’m excited at the same time. After a two year absence, the ladder match returns and we will see a first here!
Copeland: Indeed, the anniversary of the tag team championships is celebrated with the first ever tag team ladder match for the WZCW Tag Team Championship
The FHD and the Second Coming continue on their war path tonight after some real close matches in the past few months and a great display at Civil Revolution, it will surely be taking everything up to the next level after tonight
Cohen: This is going to be great!
The tech crew start to leave as the bell sounds
Harrys: The following contest is a ladder match for the WZCW Tag Team Championships!
The crowd erupt in excitement as the match is moments away but it turns to boos as “The Leaving Song Part 2” plays out with the beltless FHD coming out in their new hoodies, standing on either side of the stage posing to the crowd, miming a belt each and pointing up to their titles.
Harrys: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 499 pounds, Ace David and Big Dave, the Full House Daves!
Copeland: The FHD opting to go out first with the champion’s discretion as this will no doubt give some edge going into this match
Cohen: No-one can usually have the edge going into a big match like this, but the FHD can!
They start to walk down the ramp, they stop as Ace does a leaning pose in front of Dave who turns and points at back at the stage to set off a series of pyros. They continue to walk and slide in the ring as they pose on the turnbuckles and continue to point to their belts. They stand in the middle as they have a discussion while they remove their hoodies, Dave starts nodding and points outside the ring, to which Ace gets outside and Dave goes to stand on the apron, facing the stage.
“East Jesus Nowhere” burst throughout the arena to a series of cheers as the Second Coming walk onto the stage talking to each other as they look at Big Dave who stares back at them. They do their signature pose of arms spread and feet together.
Harrys: Their opponents and challengers, at a combined weight of 381 pounds, Phoenix, Garth Black, the Second Coming!
Copeland: The Second Coming getting a good ovation here from this crowd in Phoenix as they will need a good boost to enter the ring with their opponents waiting
Cohen: Counting out your favs already Seabass?
Phoenix and Black start to walk down as Big Dave jumps onto the floor, he goes running the ramp and goes for a clothesline on Phoenix but he ducks and Garth starts hitting some rights as the bell signals. While this is happening Ace slides back into the ring with a ladder, hoping the distraction is enough, but Phoenix slides in before Ace can set the ladder up. Phoenix irish whips Ace and hits an arm drag as Garth tries to whip Dave into the apron but Dave reverses it sending Garth’s back into the ring edge. Phoenix continues to hit the arm drags on Ace and ending on a spinning heel kick, he goes to pick up the ladder in the ring and leans it against the ropes in the middle of the ring.
While this is occurring Dave continues to slam Garth’s head into the ring post and apron, he spots the ladder on the ropes and throws Garth into the stairs as Phoenix goes to pick up Ace. He drags Ace to the ladder but Dave jumps up and slams the ladder into Phoenix’s face who holds it in pain as Ace takes him down with the clothesline. Dave jumps back down and goes back to Garth who elbows Dave in the stomach and slams his head against the steel steps. Ace gets Phoenix back up and shoves him into the corner, hitting a few rights to keep him there so he can get the ladder that’s in the ring. He holds it at waist height and rams the top of it into Phoenix’s abs to the sound of “oows” from the crowd, he slams the ladder to the mat, grabs Phoenix’s hair and face plants him into the ladder.
Copeland: Good god that’s gotta hurt
Cohen: Agreed, but it shows the power is with the champs, Seabass!
Meanwhile on the outside, Garth has laid Dave on top of a ladder, he jumps up onto the apron and hits a leg drop on the tag champion, he does it one more time. While Dave is still down on the ladder, Garth looks under the ring and grabs a steel chair, Ace spots this from the inside of the ring and runs to the ropes for a suicide dive and is met with the chair in his face. Garth drops the chair and climbs into the ring and goes to get the ladder, he sets it up under the belts and then goes to check on Phoenix who’s still down after the face plant. Dave has gotten back up and slides into the ring and stands in the corner behind Black, stalking him from behind. Phoenix points behind Black to turn around, who does so and is met with a big boot to the face. Dave looks to check for any other problems and then starts to climb the ladder, as he does Phoenix grabs hold of his leg and Dave tries to shake him off, he does as Ace is slowly getting back into the ring with a chair in hand. Phoenix gets up and kicks Ace is the face, picks up the chair and slams it into Dave’s back.
Dave holds on in pain as Phoenix slams the chair into his back again, drops the chair and pushes the ladder over, taking Dave to the mat with barely a fall. Phoenix picks up the ladder and sets it up in the corner. He gets Garth back up and tells him to double team Dave, they pick him up and shove him against the ladder, hitting him a few times to keep him groggy. Phoenix points to the mat as he goes to the opposite corner, Garth gets on his hands and knees as Phoenix runs and hits the Poetry in Motion on Dave against the ladder, knocking him to the mat but keeping the ladder in place. Ace slides back in the ring but Phoenix grabs him with assistance from Garth as they double irish whip him to the ladder but he runs up it, he stops and turns as Second Coming stand staring while he jumps off with a double clothesline, taking his opponents to the mat.
Big Dave slowly crawls to the outside of the ring, holding his back in pain and looks to grab another ladder, he picks it up and puts it in-between the middle and top ropes as Black is back up and grabs the other side, trying to kick Dave but Ace starts hitting Black on the back of the head as Dave jumps onto the apron and slams the other side of the ladder up into Ace and Garth’s face as they roll in pain from the reaction. Dave slides the ladder fully into the ring and follows suit as he grabs Phoenix by the hair, he picks him up and body slams him to the mat, he picks up the newest ladder and slams it on top of his fallen opponent and points at Phoenix as he climbs the turnbuckle, signalling for the drop. He leaps off with a money shot and lands on top of Phoenix and the ladder as he holds his abs from the impact.
Copeland: What kind of man puts his own body at risk to keep his opponent down?
Cohen: A WZCW Tag Team Champion, Seabass!
Garth uses the ropes to get himself back up as he’s revealed to have been busted open from the ladder shot, as Ace slides outside and looks for another ladder, this one is double the size of the two ladders from earlier, and he sets it up outside the ring, he then goes looking under the ring and slides out a table from underneath, getting the crowd excited. Ace begins to set the table up as Garth goes to grab the first ladder inside the ring and set it up in the middle. After Ace sets up the table he notices this and starts climbing the outside ladder as Garth goes to climb up the inside ladder, Ace reaches to the top first and stares for a second, he takes a deep breath and stands on the top run. Garth has reached the top of his ladder and goes to the grab the bell, only for Ace to suddenly leap off the bigger ladder over the ropes and dropkick the central ladder to take Black down with it.
Everyone’s down for a while as they slowly begin to stir, Garth’s holding his head, Phoenix and Dave are holding their abs and Ace is leaning on the middle rope to keep himself stirred. They all eventually get up as a bloodied Garth stares at Dave while Phoenix looks towards Ace, they stand toe to toe for a few seconds and then they let the fists fly. Garth has Dave up against the ropes and Ace has Phoenix back on the opposite side, simultaneously Garth and Ace irish whip Dave and Phoenix but they both get reversed followed by Dave spearing Garth who rolls out, Phoenix goes for a clothesline but Ace ducks and then holds the ropes to stop himself. Phoenix runs at Ace but he ducks under the attempt, Phoenix rebounds and Ace picks him up with Dave behind him as they hit the Full House on Phoenix as the crowd boos. Ace signals to go get the ladders, so the FHD pick up the two ladders from inside the ring, Dave sets one up in the corner as Ace stands one near the opposite corner.
Suddenly Garth runs in and hits an enziguri on Big Dave, taking him flat out down and then a spinning heel kick on Ace which rolls him outside the ring. Garth helps Phoenix back up and tells him to go after Ace as Phoenix goes and climbs the standing ladder while Garth climbs the turnbuckle with the ladder in the corner. Ace gets back up on the outside, holding his head in pain, he looks up at Phoenix who’s crouching on top of the ladder nearest to him, he stands up and hits the Final Flight and lands onto Ace, taking both men out. Garth holds onto the ladder as he pushes with his foot to take himself and the ladder with full momentum onto the top of Big Dave’s back which makes me scream in pain, Garth gets back over and locks on the Black Death onto Dave who still have the ladder on top, causing him to scream even louder, he taps his hand rapidly on the mat but nothing happens as Garth has a sick look on his face through all the blood running down it.
Cohen: That’s a dumb move Garth, you can’t climb the ladder when you’re applying submissions
Copeland: He needs that chance to break free so he can get the titles, but I can’t imagine what pain Big Dave must be going through!
Garth eventually breaks the hold and goes to pick up the steal chair, he stands there stalking Dave who slowly moves from underneath the ladder and uses the corner to pick himself up with all of his strength. Garth stares locked and ready, right as Big Dave turns around he is met with one hell of a steel shot to the face, taking the big man down. Garth drops the chair and moves the standing ladder underneath the belt as he goes to ascend up to the top for the second time, albeit it slower than before. The more he climbs, the more crowd cheer as it looks like Second Coming are going to win this, he reaches the top and tries to grab the belt, but Dave who’s on the floor uses his boot with all his might to give a strong kick to the ladder, causing it to fall over and Garth bounces off the ropes.
Ace is up into a crouching position, as Phoenix uses the steel stairs on the outside to try and help himself up, Ace slowly but finally stands, taking a few moments to get himself back to where he is a bit shaken from the big move by Phoenix. He climbs up the apron slowly and takes a moment before he goes to climb in the ropes but he’s immediately hit with a Singapore cane which Phoenix has pulled from the outside. Phoenix hits him again as Ace falls onto the ring mat as Phoenix gets back up fully and drops the cane, climbs up the stairs into the ring looks at the ladder but then looks at Big Dave who’s laying on the mat and is busted open from the chair shot earlier.
He picks up Dave and puts him in the corner, and uses his might to put him onto the top of the turnbuckle. He looks outside at the biggest ladder still standing next to the table, he slaps Dave in the face and then climbs onto the apron, he pulls his legs over the ropes as he’s sitting facing the table. Phoenix jumps down and climbs the ladder and reaches the top, he signals to the crowd that Dave is going through the table.
Copeland: No Phoenix, don’t do it!
Cohen: He’s gone nuts!
He stands tall and then jumps off and grabs Dave’s head with a headscissor lock for the hurricanrana, but Dave holds on to the ropes, refraining from falling. Phoenix sits up on top of Dave’s shoulders in a powerbomb position as Dave grabs onto Phoenix’s throat, with a sick look on his face, he chokeslams Phoenix off of his shoulders through the table on the outside, Dave looks dazed from the impact on top of the turnbuckle as turns back in to find Ace has got back up. He climbs down and they get the fallen ladder and set it up in the middle of the ring. They start to slowly climb with all the strength they can find as boos from the crowd erupt again.
Cohen: It’s all theirs for the taking!
They reach the top as Garth climbs in and hits a steel chair onto Big Dave’s back, who leans on the top of the ladder and he then takes a whack at Ace who falls off the ladder. Garth climbs up the side where Ace used to be and reaches the top and looks around for where he can drop Big Dave, he leans over but ends up being too far as Dave suddenly gets up with Garth on his shoulders, screaming in strength as he looks for the Stamp of Authority from the top of the ladder, he hits it as he takes Garth and himself straight down to the mat, taking both men out.
With all four men down, the crowd start to give a mix reaction of boos and excitements, but Ace starts to recover on the mat as Phoenix is slowly getting up from the table fall and gets into the ring, they both slowly crawl over to the middle ladder and begin a slowly ascend in a race to the top. They eventually reach the top as they begin to exchange sluggish rights with each other, the impact of each hit causes the ladder to sway and Phoenix hits one last hit which starts to tip the ladder over he grabs hold on the cable holding the belts as it goes over, taking Ace with him onto the mat and rolling off the canvas.
Copeland: Phoenix is hanging up there, but can he hang on long enough?
Cohen: He’s going to fall, I know he is!
As Phoenix hangs high, he takes a risk and lets go with one of his hands and pulls off a tag belt which falls to the floor, with one final piece of strength, he grabs the back of the strap on the other belt. He suddenly falls but takes the belt with him as the bell sounds
Harrys: The winners of this match, and NEW WZCW Tag Team Champions, The Second Coming
Copeland: My god what a hell of a match that was, I’ve never seen anything like it. You got to give it to the Daves who tried but the Second Coming who have arrived in Arizona as the new WZCW Tag Team Champions
Cohen: As much as I thought and hoped the Daves would win, you have to credit anyone who went into that great match and come out the tag team champions. I may not always be right with my predictions but I have grown a lot of respect for the Daves and Second Coming here tonight. And it’s not even over!
The referees and EMTs go to check on the four men as Garth and Phoenix have their hands raised while still half unconscious on the mat, Dave and Ace are no better as they are slowly stirring from their falls and trying to get to grips with what’s just happened. Second Coming are assisted out of the ring one by one as two referees carry them back up the rampway. They would raise their belts, but they’re out of energy to do so
Copeland: Well ladies and gentleman, as Jack rightly said, this night isn’t over and if this wasn’t carnage already, we still have the Two Fall Triple Threat Match to come, that’s up next and of course, the World Heavyweight Championship on the line in that six pact challenge. But after seeing that ladder match, this pay per view full has certainly been giving me all it can provide and nothing to dislike about it!
