6.29.07 -- Cold Night in Hell

Tonight is the night, one of the biggest in Spunk Pro history -- Spunk vs Tommy Fiero, in a steel cage. The tension is thick on this hot, stinging summer evening as the fans file into the ringside area. Our first few matches of the night did a good job of warming things up, as Strike Force finally picked up the win over Romero and Guterez, Wolf using the Wolf's Bite on Guterez, nearly impaling him. DEMOS defended his SP Jr. Championship against Hector Casas, using the German Suplex for the win, and Bobo Gomez made his triumphant return to the ring after suffering an injury at the hands of Dan Sommers. Speaking of Sommers, backstage earlier, Paddy Baker was found laid out, Gabriel attending to him as Sommers and McFadden stroll by, McFadden commenting on 'poor Paddy, who couldn't keep his mouth shut' as Gabriel went to defend the honor of his partner. Sommers stepped in the way and incited Gabriel to defend his title against him, telling him he had nothing to lose -- except that purty gold belt.

It is on now, as Gabriel and Sommers are brawling throughout the ring, McFadden's prescence at ringside being felt, as Sommers at about the 10 minute mark nails the Alabama Nightmare -- but Gabriel rolls out of the ring, out on the floor as McFadden lays the boots into him. Gabriel back in, and doing his best to fend Sommers off, finally a comeback with a lariat, and it looks like Gabriel is in control here now! The fans are going wild, but all of this is out the window when Gabriel is setting up the Emerald Buster McFadden tugs on his boot, causing him to slip and drop Sommers, who quickly sets up the Alabama Nightmare and covers for the 3 count! We have a NEW WWA International Heavyweight Champion!

The next bout is for the Spunk Pro Heavyweight Championship! Jack Dod to take on the winner of the mini-tourney last time, D! D finally getting his shot at the title, and he believes this could be it. Emotions are high tonight as we've already had a title change, and later tonight Spunk takes on Tommy Fiero in a steel cage! D in the ring, as Jack heads to the ring. It was a tough, physical match, and it looked like D had the advantage leading into the finishing stretch, but the Lariat was quickly ducked and turned into the Dodsmack for the 3-count and dashed dreams of a championship run... Wait.. Dod going for another on D, we saw this with YUSUKE, he isn't going to stop until somebody is seriously hurt! Another one! Officials are trying to file in, but Dod is planting everybody who gets in his path with a stiff fist to the face! He is picking him up for another, and this is just not needed... Wait.. Wait.. What?! ITS YUSUKE! YUSUKE INTO THE RING! KNEEL KICK! KNEEL KICKS HAS BUSTED DOD WIDE OPEN AND HE IS BAILING FROM THE RING! YUSUKE helping D up, and the champion is backtracking here. Jack Dod is still the champion, but for how long?

The cage is being assembled, an awesome sight to behold as the fans stir in awe at the menacing structure. Fiero's music hits as he slowly emerges from the curtain, staring at the cage as he slowly marches to the ring, shaking the side of the cage with his hands before sliding in through the door and slinking back into the corner, trying to pump himself up. "Not Alone" comes over the arena as the fans erupt, the lights going dim as Fiero looks at the ground, determind. Spunk emerges from behind the curtain and quickly rips his shirt off, tossing it into the crowd while his eyes stay fixed on Fiero in the ring. He walks around the ring, slamming his fist up against each side before stopping at the door, moving to pull it open as Fiero runs at the door, sliding dropkick! The door slams into Spunks face! Spunk down and it looks like he is already busted wide open as Fiero out of the ring now, pulling over his robe and wrapping it around Spunk's throat, choking him on the floor as the ref is out there trying to stop him, but there are no DQs -- and hell, this match hasn't started yet. Fiero with a few closed fists to the open cut of Spunk, and finally lets go of the choke. Fiero taking this pre-emptive strike here and trying to end this early.

Fiero lining Spunk up now, who is staggering to his feet, trying to shake the cobwebs -- WHAMMY BAR! Sweet christ, this match hasn't even hit the ring yet and Spunk is in serious danger! Fiero picks Spunk up and tosses him into the ring, following himself, calling for the ref to ring the bell, and this match is finally underway. Fiero running for the door, but the door is bolted shut right now, he shouts for the ref outside to open it, but the ref informs him he has to pin, submit or escape to win this match, by climbing.. Fiero curses under his breath and spits on the ref as he dashes for the corner, ascending the ropes and trying to pull himself up and out of the cage. Spunk to his feet as he dashes at the ropes, pulling on Fiero's boot as Fiero tries to kick him off... Spunk climbing up now and Fiero slipping down a bit... Spunk steadying himself on the top rope, as Fiero is down onto the turnbuckle now. Spunk with a series of headbutts to Fiero's head! Fiero falls to the mat, as Spunk moves to the corner, and leaps at Fiero, knees first, Fiero rolls out of the way, Spunk landing on his knees! Fiero hops up and takes Spunk by the head and takes him over, headlock in now. Fiero for the next few minutes keeping Spunk grounded, working a headlock as well as taking every chance possible to grind his knuckle into his forehead, widening that gash. Every attempt to fight back being thwarted by another headlock, the fans starting to get hot, pounding for Spunk to fight out.

Spunk fighting to his feet, and tosses Fiero off the ropes, shoulderblock by both guys, Fiero off the ropes now and Spunk with a savate kick, and quickly transitions into a front choke sleeper! Fiero flipping out, trying to fight to the ropes, and Spunk lets go -- there are no DQs in this match, but he let go anyway. He gets up and starts kicking away at the downed Fiero, Fiero slipped between the ropes and the cage now, and Spunk is kicking away at the face of Fiero now, now grinding his boot against his face. Spunk dashes off the ropes -- AND THE BIG FUCKING BOOT TO THE FACE! Fiero sandwiched between the cage and Spunk's boot, and he is over in a heap now. Spunk pulls him out of the ropes and makes the cover... 1......2.... And Fiero Kicks out. Fiero on all fours now, trying to recompose himself -- AND A BIG KICK TO THE FACE BY SPUNK! Fiero is busted wide open now, as Spunk is just stomping away on him. Spunk picks Fiero up, off the ropes looking for a lariat -- DUCKED -- BACKSLIDE!! 1!!! 2!!! 2.99!! Spunk kicks out, Spunk tries to dash up, and Fiero plants him with the DDT! Spunk not wanting to stay down, he pulls himself up, and a Superkick by Fiero! Tommy with the cover... 1.....2.... Spunk kicks out! Spunk back up to his feet now, and Fiero with rights and lefts! Fiero off the ropes and Spunk with a big knee to the face! Fiero down, Fiero bloody, Spunk boody and both men look spent already.

Spunk pulling Fiero up by his trunks, looking for the ClimaXXX German Suplex it looks like -- FIERO WITH A WHAMMY BAR OUT OF NOWHERE! Fiero is pulling himself up, trying to escape this cage, bloody, battered, bruised and the look on his face is one of desperation. Spunk is barely stirring on the mat as Tommy pulls himself up, leaning against the ropes, climbing the turnbuckle slowly, standing on the top one as he holds himself up against the cage. Tommy tries to get a grip and pushes his boot into the cage, beginning the climb, about 6 feet up from the turnbuckle, but the look on his face tells a much different story -- it could be 20 feet away, or it could be infinite. Tommy finally gets his hand on the top of the cage, and is trying to pull himself up, the fans are going wild as Spunk pulls himself up, seeing Tommy nearly to the top of the cage.. Spunk staggers up and starts ramming his foot into the cage, trying to shake Fiero down, Fiero is wobbly, but has both hands up top and is trying to pull himself up.. Spunk tries to reach up, but Tommy's feet are out of reach, so Spunk begins climbing the turnbuckle, Fiero is pulling his knees up to his chest now, trying to get himself up and over as Spunk scrambles to get up there, steadying himself and planting his fist into Tommy's back as Tommy cringes, slipping a bit. Spunk moving himself into position -- no.. noo.. He looks like he is going to powerbomb Fiero from where he stands -- feet on the turnbuckle, Fiero trying to hold on for dear life to the top of the cage!

Spunk is pulling, pulling trying to powerbomb him to the mat in what would in the least seriously injure Fiero! Fiero holding on, but Spunk will not give up! Fiero pulls a hand free and begins punching Spunk on the top of the head, but it looks like nothing will stop him tonight! This gave Spunk enough leverage and he tosses all of his body weight forward, him and Fiero flying! Fiero leans back and frankensteiner! Spunk is down, Fiero is down, and the fans are breathless! Fiero slowly crawling to Spunk's motionless body, he makes the cover -- 1!!! 2!! ...... NO! HE KICKS OUT! The fans are on their feet here, as they cannot believe how much these men have put into this! The sheer hatred alone is fueling them both to give everything and more just to finish the other one off!

Tommy cannot believe this, as he pulls himself up and leans over in the corner, motioning for Spunk to pull himself up... It looks like he is lining him up for the Whammy Bar here, and Spunk staggers to his feet, using the ropes as a guide, and Tommy dashes at him -- WHAMMY BA--AHH! No, Spunk locks his arm around the ropes and Fiero is flat on his ass! Spunk with a few soccer kicks to the spine, then lets out a mighty roar as he dashes against the ropes, it looks like he is going for the Saikyo Face Kick! He goes for it -- FIERO DUCKS, SPUNK TRIPS -- FIERO WITH A SCHOOL BOY!! FIERO USING THE ROPES AS LEVERAGE! 1!!!!!! 2!!!! 2.9999999!!! HE BARELY GETS THE SHOULDER UP! Fiero just absolutely saved his life there, and he is coughing up blood now, the mat stained with both of their blood, it is hard to tell who exactly is in worse shape. Spunk rolls to the apron, in between the ropes and the cage as he is starting to pick himself up, Fiero dashes off the ropes and just flings his body at Spunk -- Spunk moves out of the way, and Fiero goes face first into the cage! Spunk grabs Tommy by the hair and is grinding his face against the cage! Fiero trying to break free as he screams out in pure agony, finally getting a thumb to the eye of Spunk, both men on their feet, dazed in between the ropes and the cage.

Fiero grabs Spunk by the hair and smashes his face against the cage. Spunk spits up blood, grabs Tommy by the hair and does the same! Back and forth now, each man seemingly letting the other smash his face into the chain link cage, both men just covered in blood! Spunk finally ducks under a punch and smashes Tommy's face into the cage again, but this time just collapsing back into the ring as Tommy slinks over, stuck between the ropes and the cage. Spunk pulls Fiero by the hair into the ring, and Tommy is just swinging wildly, now anywhere near Spunk, as Spunk slaps him across the face -- HARD, Fiero falling to his knees. Spunk tucks his head, and nails him with a snap powerbomb, Tommy writhing in pain on the mat! Spunk climbing to the top, and the fans are cheering for him to get out, get out! Spunk turns around to see Fiero still on the mat, and oh lord -- DOUBLE STOMP RIGHT ONTO FIERO'S CHEST!! Spunk falls back onto him for the cover!! 1.......................2................2.999999999!! That felt like the longest 2-count in Spunk Pro's history!

At this point it looks like neither man will go down for the count. Spunk climbing the ropes again, his tank clearly dangerously close to the empty point now, his movements sluggish as he tries to make his way up there... He has his hands on the top now, and pulls himself up to the top of the cage, sitting in the corner trying to catch his breath! He points down at Fiero, he isn't going to escape -- he wants to pin Fiero -- no, fuck that, he wants to KILL Fiero! He is going to go for the double stomp... from the top? It has to be 15 feet from the top of that cage to Fiero right now, Spunk has clearly lost his mind! Fiero starting to stir as Spunk is trying to pull himself up to his feet! Fiero quickly throws his body at the cage in a last ditch effort, sending Spunk back onto his ass, doing his best to keep his grip and not fall!

Fiero now with a burst of adrenaline as he is climbing the cage, Spunk trying to kick at him, but Fiero deflecting them with his free hand. Fiero is close now, and is close enough to... HIT HIM IN THE BALLS! Spunk in danger of falling backwards, out onto the floor and Fiero is holding onto him for dear life, not wanting him to fall out and get the win by default! Spunk reeling, but stable now as Fiero is straddling the top of the cage now, both men exchanging blows, but Fiero getting the better of him.

Not a single fan in this arena is in their chair, everybody is watching as both men duke it out 15 feet in the air, with a few inches of steel pipe keeping them both from falling! Fiero throws his leg over, and it looks like he isn't going to just try to escape, what is he doing? Fiero with a cravate on Spunk.. A cravate 15 feet in the air... Fiero is going for the Whammy Bar.. FROM THE TOP OF THE FUCKING CAGE!! Fiero shouts out as he tries to pull Spunk down, but Spunk's hands are firmly grasping the cage, his knuckles white and his palms sweaty as he tries to keep his grip. Fiero keeps trying to torque him free and send them both crashing to the canvas! Spunk takes his chance an pulls his hand free, nailing Fiero in the ribs with a hard shot, and Fiero reeling a bit, almost falling... Wait... Spunk puts his arm over Tommy's head and pulls him up close... What.. What.. Dear god no, Spunk has Fiero up now, and there is no way, there is no way...

There is now way... Not from here, not like this, it is too high... Spunk lets out a scream as he has Fiero in what looks like a set up for the Fucking Frosion.. BUT HE IS ON TOP OF THE CAGE!! Spunk digs his heels into the cage and tenses up one last time before pushing himself off.. Both men taking flight, blood, sweat... They are falling! Spunk has him in it... Dear fucking lord...

F..

K...

G..

FROSION!!!! FROM THE TOP OF THE FUCKING CAGE! TOMMY FIERO JUST GOT HIS HEAD SPIKED ONTO -- NO, INTO THAT CANVAS UNLIKE WE'VE EVER SEEN BEFORE. The ref looks like he just witnessed a car wreck, and both men are down, neither moving. The fans are going absolutely batshit insane right now, and Spunk is barely stirring, crawling on his elbows towards Fiero, finally draping an arm over him... The ref drops down..

1.....................
....2.........................
..............
3!!!!!! There is no way he'd kick out of that one! Fiero is down! The bell rings, almost mutated and in slow motion as Spunk rolls over onto his back and mashes his hands against his face, covering his eyes as the ref comes over, raising up his limp arm! Medics are swarming the ring now as they secure Fiero to a stretcher and slide him out of the ring.. Spunk finally up to his knees now, tears in his eyes as he pounds a fist into the mat. The fans are jumping the barriers now as the medics rush Fiero out of the arena, his neck in a brace, his body strapped down and blood everywhere.. Fans are starting to try to climb up the cage, as others dash through the doors! Spunk slumps over on his knees as fans begin to fill up the ring, the arena is just exploding with excitement... The fans picking Spunk up, raising his arm as he looks like the walking dead right now. This is a moment that nobody, no fan, no wrestler, no office worker, nobody, will ever forget -- SPUNK HAS DEFEATED TOMMY FIERO, AND HE HAS DONE SO IN THE MOST DECISIVE MANNER POSSIBLE.
