Noah Adelaide vs. Kruzer

Brenden Reynalds - The following contest is scheduled for one fall! And, if Noah Adelaide loses... He loses his job.

"Death Before Dishonor" begins to play, smoke filling the entranceway as the opening guitar riffs play until the drums kick in for a heavy riff. The crowd begins to cheer...




Noah finally steps out of the back and into the smoke, his hair draped over his face as the chants continue. Finally, Noah jerks his head back, throwing his hair out from in front of his face. Noah raises his arms in the air and lets out a loud roar, acknowledging the fans and keeping them hyped up as he waits for his introduction.

Brenden Reynalds - Introducing first, from Topeka, Kansas... Weighing in tonight at 195 lbs. and standing at 5'9.




Noah runs to the ring, sliding in about halfway before flipping to his feet from his head and jumping onto the middle rope in the corner.

Matt Baily - The crowd's feverish for this man, although the circumstances of this match certainly aren't in his favor. After Noah's words off screen, Travis Rech has set up this contest to further punish Noah Adelaide by putting his job on the line.

West Newhaven - When will these people get it through their heads not to cross the boss? To anyone else in the back, if you want to avoid situations like these, then keep your mouths shut and stay off of Rech and Garland's shit list! Noah let out his frustrations, only to anger the man in charge. This whole Drew Stevenson has caused a rift in The RWD, and Rech's just looking to keep things together!

Matt Baily - By potentially firing another member of the roster, West? Is this Rech's way of sticking it to the legacy of The MSW? To the Emerald Academy? Is he intending to send a message to Drew Stevenson by putting one of his pupils in peril? By trying to rob these fans of a fan favorite?

Noah continues posing in the ring, his music dying down as he readies for his match and "World On Fire" begins to play. After a few moments, "The Canadian Icon" walks out of the back and raises his arms in confidence. The crowd gives Kruzer a mixed reaction, the ol'Kruzermatic not letting it get to him as he heads down the ramp and towards the ring.

Brenden Reynalds - And the opponent... Weighing in at 235lbs and standing 6'4... From Edmonton, Alberta, Canada...




Matt Baily - We'd have to assume that Kruzer wasn't prepared for such a mixed reaction, but after Rech's announcement about the stipulation on this match... I'm sure this crowd wants to give Noah all the support they can.

West Newhaven - Normally I don't care what this crowd thinks, but Kruzer did nothing wrong! He deserves these fans' cheers and the former thirteen time World Champion is looking to pick up a victory to put him further up the ranks towards capturing the RWD World Championship. If being ambitious makes you a "bad guy," then I don't want to be a hero!

Kruzer reaches the ring, pulling himself up onto the apron and posing with his back to Noah and his arms outstretched. The crowd still reacts both positively and negatively, Kruzer turning around - To a dropkick from Noah which takes him to the floor outside!

West Newhaven - What a cheap shot! And you're saying Kruzer's the villain!?

The crowd cheers, Kruzer's music dying down as Noah measures Kruzer who starts to get to his feet! Noah runs the ropes - Flipping Suicide Dive - Kruzer running under him and sliding into the ring, avoiding it as Noah hits the floor violently!

Matt Baily - While we're all excited at Kruzer's victory, this is the end of the road for Noah Adelaide... Thanks to the stipulation set up earlier this evening, this loss means that Noah Adelaide is out of a job...

West Newhaven - And good riddance! Who needs a guy like Noah Adelaide when you have a star in Kruzer? This man's on his way to the top while Noah is heading back to the bottom.

The crowd cheers for Kruzer's victory, but then quickly die out as they realize what this means.
