Glass: The structure known as Siege Perilous will be unleashed on the world tonight as 8 of our best Combatants will battle each other as they attempt to scale the massive steel dome and procure the Global Championship that is hanging above it.
The view switches as we see a close up of the Global Title as it is being hoisted up in the air, simultaneously the large dome is being lowered around the ring. The ring crews and referees run around getting things together as Charity Langston stands in the center of the chaos and prepares to start us off.
Higgins: This is history in the making and the time is now Glass, do you have a favorite going into this?
Glass: I don’t think you can count anyone out but it will be a lot harder for the longer you’re in the match. Iron Wolf and TJ Alexander are starting us off and that means they have an uphill fight in front of them, while Caleb Scott secured the last entry in tonight’s match and that has to prove to be a big advantage to him!
Higgins: Well looks like everyone is in place let’s make history!
Charity: Ladies and Gentlemen it is time for your MAIN EVENT!!
The fans began to cheer so loudly that Charity had to pause a second to let it die down.
Charity: The next match is the world’s first ever Siege Perilous match!! Eight Combatants will enter the steel dome in a predetermined order. Once all eight Combatants are in the first one to scale the dome and retrieve the Global Championship from where it hangs in the air will be the winner and Combat’s first ever GLOBAL CHAMPION!! The dome cage will be locked once the last entrant enters, there is no disqualification and anything goes once the cage is locked.
The fans start the chant ‘Combat, Combat, Combat’ as she continues.
Charity: The first entrant in Siege Perilous standing at 6 foot 2 and weighing in at 245 lbs he is the Friday Night Combat Uprising Champion, he is IRON WOLF!!!
The arena erupts in howls as “Iron Wolf” by Beastwars begins. Iron Wolf then appears from the back, leading the Howl that is echoed by what seems to be the entire arena.He makes his way down to the ring while growling and snarling for the fans. He walks into the giant steel dome of Siege Perilous then rolls into the ring and climbs to the nearest corner, howling again for the fans.
Charity: The second Combatant in tonight’s Siege Perilous hailing from London, England he stands 6 foot 1 and weighs 188 lbs, Kidd Krazy T J ALEXANDER!!
‘The Touch’ by Stan Bush hits and the arena goes crazy with chants of TJ, TJ, TJ! The young man appears and seems to be full of energy as the Pyro blast on either side of the ramp and he makes his way into the cage, pausing to stare at the immense structure before heading inside and preparing for the match.
One Ref and three members of security stand at the only cage door as the entire referee staff are inside the cage to monitor the action. After a few brief words from the ref in the ring the match is officially underway.
***Ding, Ding***
TJ Alexander barely waits for the bell as he charges forward jumping into the air and hitting a spinning lariat on Wolf sending him down hard to the mat. TJ follows up by going to the mat and attempting to put in an arm bar. Wolf, however still fresh in this match, has the sense to send a few hard left hands into the face of TJ and cause him to loosen his grip. TJ rolls backwards to get some space then both men are up on their feet once again staring at each other.
Glass: The Game Changer and the Brawlador are starting us off and what a contrast of styles. The high flying TJ Alexander is everything one expects from a Luchador. While our masked Uprising has less spring in his step and more lead in his punch. A true contrast of brute force versus speed and finesse.
Higgins: The caveat to all this is they can’t win, at least not for over 20 minutes when all 8 competitors are in and by that time they will be the most battered, and most worn guys in the match.
Glass: that’s right these two will be alone for five minutes before the third competitor enters the match, then every three minutes another competitor enters before the cage door is locked and the real match starts.
The Technically sound TJ Alexander motions for a lock up but Iron Wolf responds by giving a swift kick to the gut of TJ. He then rears back and lands a massive headbutt that staggers TJ, Wolf doesn’t hesitate to continue his assault with a series of punches that forces TJ back into the corner. Once he is in the corner Wolf lets out a big howl getting the fans behind him before he climbs to the second rope and begins to punch TJ in the head. You can hear the fans counting with him
1..,2..,3..,4..,5..,6..7,..8..,9..,10!!
This however is not a normal match, with no DQ in place Wolf doesn’t bother to stop at 10 he instead fires off 5 more rapid punches into the head of TJ before hopping off the turnbuckle and allowing TJ to stagger forward and fall to the mat.
Glass: It’s that mean streak that gives Wolf an edge in this entire thing. The fans love him but he’s far from a saint.
Higgins: Still you have to think when it comes to climbing the 25 foot steel dome that someone like TJ would have an advantage right?
Glass: You would think that, but our Combatants are hungry and want this more than anything so I am sure they are all more than capable of making that climb, that is if their bodies are destroyed before the time to climb comes!
Wolf goes to pick up TJ off the mat to drag him to his feet. Once he does he grabs him for a suplex but TJ braces himself and stops Wolf from picking him up. He then overpowers Wolf and reverses the move, lifting Wolf high in the air as he lets him hang there for a few seconds to let the blood rush to his head before landing a vicious looking brain buster on Iron Wolf.
A large Air Horn is heard echoing throughout the arena as ‘Hero’ by Skillet blast across the PA the fans erupt in excitement as we see PG-13 appear at the top of the entrance ramp. He power walks down the ramp heading towards the entrance of Siege Perilous.
Charity: PG-13 has entered Siege Perilous!
Glass: Well after 5 minutes of battling each other their reward is the Monster that IIW knows simply as PG 13!!
Higgins: Not a gift I would want that’s for sure, but I bet it’s a gift that keeps giving. Pain that is!
He hits the ring hot as he automatically goes over to Wolf picking him up and throwing him over his head with a big belly to belly suplex that shakes the ring on impact. He then turns to lock eyes with TJ Alexander who has managed to pull himself up in the corner. Both men have a long history and you can see the hate in their eyes for each other. TJ doesn’t hesitate to charge the man hitting him hard with several forearms, they seem to stagger him back a few steps but are not able to knock him down. TJ decides to change it up by tossing a kick but PG is able to catch it, this just sits TJ up to hit a vicious enziguri sending PG back and leaning against the ropes. TJ decides to bounce off the far rope to get some momentum as he charges as the now staggered PG 13 but as he springs in the air for a flying clothesline PG catches him mid air and tosses him over the top rope, sending him a few feet through the air crashing hard into the the Siege Perilous Steel Dome. His body makes a loud thud as he falls from the contact point nearly 8 feet in the air and lands hard on the floor outside the ring. PG turns towards TJ and mocks him a bit, this gives Wolf a moment to get behind the big man and hit a giant belly to back suplex on him.
Higgins: I think TJ Alexander might need some medical attention after that fall! First colliding with that unforgiving steel dome then falling all the way down to the hard concrete floor.
Glass: TJ may be hurt but I can tell you this. I have watched a lot of tape on the guys on Combat when I was getting ready for this job, I did my research and TJ Alexander is not leaving this match until it’s finished unless its business class in the back of a hearse.
Wolf doesn’t waste a second as he begins to give the boots to PG 13, he then bounces off the ropes and hits a leg drop on him. He then grabs PG in a rear naked choke applying as much pressure as he can as you can see the face of PG turn a bright red he somehow begins to power himself up. He slams his fist on the mat a few times before moving to a standing position with Wolf still locked in on his back. PG rushes backwards sandwiching the body of Wolf between himself and the turnbuckle. Somehow as these two battle in the ring TJ has made his way to his feet greatly favoring his left shoulder that first made contact with the dome and later he fell on. Despite this he is on the apron and somehow climbs to the top turnbuckle adjacent to the one Wolf and PG are currently battling at. Once in position he leaps off hitting a Missile drop kick on PG sending him backward again, once again slamming hard into Wolf. This causes both Wolf and PG to drop to the mat, Still when TJ hits the ground from his move he lands once again on that left shoulder and quickly clutches it in pain.
Higgins: TJ is hurt, this guy is a true warrior! On X Plosion he was attacked by Caleb Scott and the Purge, now he’s here and despite being tossed over the top rope and into the Dome he is doing moves like that!
Glass: He is a remarkable talent but he needs to realize that he has to fight smart. The more he risks hurting his arm early on the harder it will be to climb that dome when it’s time to win this match.
Glass is interrupted by a loud Air Horn sounded as ‘The Wraith’ by ICP blares over the PA and the giant man stalks his way down the ramp and towards the hellish structure that is Siege Perilous.
Charity: The Wraith has now entered Siege Perilous!
Glass: That entrance marks half of the competitors entering the match and this is a BIG one. The Wraith snaked by after losing his debut and still made it into the qualifier and now he’s here and that is something no one in that ring right now is happy about.
Higgins: You still have to think that regardless of how much of an advantage his size is now, it may work against him when it comes time to climb 25 feet to the top to win this match.
By the time the Wraith has entered the ring all three men are up and waiting for him. TJ and Wolf charge at the same time a series of punches and kicks that sends him backwards a few steps. Still he sends an elbow at the side of Wolf’s head and then grabs TJ by the throat. Wolf tries to attack Wraith but he gets a hand around his throat as well. In one swift motion he lifts them both in the air and slams them hard to the mat with a double chokeslam.
Glass: The pure size and power of Wraith is impressive and honestly scary as hell. I would not be amazed if he ends up walking out here with the Global Title over his shoulder tonight.
Higgins: But why didn’t PG back up the other two when he came in? Wouldn’t it be beneficial for him to join them to take down the monster threat that is wraith?
Glass: In PG eyes, he is the monster and Wraith just handled the light work for him.
The two monsters lock eyes on each other and quickly get in each other’s face exchanging a few words before they begin to brawl. Heavy handed blows to the side of each other’s head for several seconds, neither man giving an inch until Wraith finally slips in a rising knee to the gut of PG to stagger him back. He then kicks him in the gut and places PG in place for a power bomb, lifting him into position PG isn’t done however. PG starts to punch Wraith in the face stopping him from finishing the move, after about 4 punches he is able to slip off the bigger man’s shoulders and land on his feet. Once on the ground he kicks Wraith in the gut and then gets behind him, locking him up in a pumphandle before lifting him and slamming him forward.
Higgins: Oh My GOD the strength of PG, Wraith is a behemoth of a man and PG just picked him up with ease slamming him hard into the mat.
Glass: PG is going to be hard to stop not just tonight but each and every week on Combat as he demonstrates his power and physical nature every time he steps in the ring.
The air horn sounds once again as “When the man comes down” hits the PA and not just Sebastian Hamilton but the entire Hamilton Establishment appears at the top of the ramp. Hamilton has his Hardcore title snug around his waist as he marches The fans let out a chorus of boos as the entire group heads down the ramp.
Charity: Sebastian Hamilton has now entered Siege Perilous!
Higgins: What on earth is Sebastian doing? Why are his goons with him!
Glass: Those are not goons! Those are his brothers and I am sure they are just here for morale support. Besides this is the Hardcore Champion you go tell him his brothers can’t enjoy the show first hand.
Once they get to the cage side the security and referees proceed to stop Sebastian’s brothers from entering. They initially start to push back and look to break out a fight when Sebastian waves them off. You can see one of them slip Sebastian something that none of the ring side officials notice. The Establishment backs up the ramp and exits as Sebastian finally enters the Siege Perilous dome.
Higgins: I think Edward slipped him something! Once in the cage anything is allowed but you’re not supposed to go in with weapons.
Glass: Your being paranoid Sebastian is an upstanding citizen, he doesn’t need to be slipped anything. There are plenty of violent weapons under the ring that he can use if he deems fit, and he can surely win without them.
At this point the four men had begun to battle amongst themselves, TJ and Wolf dueling in one corner while PG still had the advantage on Wraith in another. Sebastian heads to the duo of TJ and Wolf, grabbing TJ by the shoulder to get his attention. Once TJ had spun around he rears back and hits him with a hard right. TJ drops hard and looks to be out of it, you can see on Sebastian’s right hand is a pair of brass knuckles. Wolf doesn’t seem to realize what happens and attempts to hit a lariat on Sebastian who just manages to duck. Hamilton then kicks wolf in the gut and hits an irish whip on him, sending him right into the back of PG 13. PG staggers forward before turning to see Wolf. Wolf receives a series of large right hands from PG but somehow wolf manages to block the fourth punch and grab PG around the waist to hit a T-Bone Suplex on the big man.
Higgins: He wouldn’t bring in a weapon you said? Looks like Hamilton had a plan this entire time.
Glass: I said he didn’t need to, but of course he had a plan. He’s a master tactician always staying a few steps ahead of those he is against. Honestly I applaud his effort.
Hamilton slides under the bottom rope and begins to rummage under the ring. Eventually he pulls out not one, but two tables tossing one off to the side for a moment he sits up the first right by ringside. Climbing back in the ring he takes TJ who is still groggy from the shot with the knuckles and sends him hard into the corner. He places TJ on the top turnbuckle and then heads to the apron and climbs up after him. He hooks him up in an attempt to superplex TJ from the top and onto the table he has set up outside. TJ however is a bit more alive then Sebastian thought and begins to fire back with punches to loosen his grip. After a few more minutes Tj is now in control as he stands up all the way and hits a top rope Sling Blade sending both men off the apron and onto the ground through the table that was set up.
Higgins: The more men that are entered the more dangerous this is becoming and we still have three more men to come in.
Glass: Yes we do and we can only hope all 5 of these men make it until everyone is here because right now they are trying to kill each other.
The air horn once again sounds as ‘Envy’ by Twiztid hits the PA and Axel Shaw appears at the ramp, a cocky grin on his face as he makes his way down the ramp. Ripping off his Mecca T-Shirt before entering the deathly structure that is Siege Perilous.
Charity: Axel Shaw has now entered Siege Perilous!
Higgins: Axel Shaw has already made a name for himself in IIW and barely been signed, picking up two wins on the first combat, joining the Mecca on Mayhem and being entered in Keys to Success now he looks to add a Global Title to his list of achievements!
Glass: He also has tons of history with both PG 13 and TJ Alexander from their time in ECE together
Axel slides in and looks at the ring. TJ & Hamilton are still down on the outside of the ring While PG, Wolf and Wraith brawl in the center of the ring. He smiles as he charges forward headed right at Wolf. Wolf however side steps him almost like a matador with a bull and instead of Wolf, Axel nails Wraith with a Canadian Ending slamming him hard into the mat. PG quickly goes on the attack sending a series of clubbing blows into the back of Axel. He goes to jerk Axel up but Axel is ready and hits a large belly to belly slam on him. Iron Wolf is also ready to pounce though and reaches back before thrusting his hand into Axel Neck locking in the Wolf Bite (Togan Deathgrip) Still at this point TJ Alexander is up and climbing on the top rope. Once perched up there he jumps off with a 450 splash hitting both Wolf and Axel at the same time breaking up the submission but taking all three men out in the process.
Glass: It is a decision like that, to jump from the top rope into the midst of the chaos that makes me wonder if TJ has any concern for his own safety at this point in his career. He’s young, he’s talented but he needs to learn to protect himself while he wins.
Higgins: TJ Alexander will put his body through whatever to get the win he feels he deserves, he has earned it and he will not stop until he proves it by hoisting that big gold belt above his head.
Hamilton is up on the outside and looks in at the chaos with a bit of a smirk. He reaches back under the ring pulling out a chair before he climbs into the ring with all the broken bodies. He looks as Wolf starts to get up he whacks him in the head with a chair sending him back down, then he does the same to TJ, then again with PG-13, as Wraith rises though he gives him a loud thud with the chair but it doesn’t seem to phase him as he continues to get up. Once up Sebastian gives him another whack, this one with no effect but Hamilton is unfettered tossing his chair to the ground he drops down to one knee and hits a low blow on the big man. This doubles him over, Sebastian then stands and hits the Established 1808 (reverse ddt) onto the steel chair.
Higgins: Sebastian is showing why he is the Hardcore Champion right now, one that is extremely dangerous at that.
Glass: First knuckles, then the table now a chair he is proving he likes to make sure he has an advantage in any encounter. I am just curious how this cluster of a brawl is going to go once everyone is in and people have to start worrying about scaling that cage.
The air horn once again signals as the fans go crazy when “killer” by Eminem when we see the Alpha Andre Cash appear at the ramp. He almost springs into the ring as he rushes to get into the action with the behemoths already in the ring.
Charity: Andre Cash has now entered Siege Perilous!
Glass: The last of the big men in the match tonight and by far the freshest of the bunch. He will be dangerous, more dangerous than normal even.
Higgins: And that’s saying a lot, Cash was the first man to qualify last week with his impressive show of strength during the qualifier match. He is fast, smart and violent by design he may be one of the newer names on the roster but he is by far one of the most talented and fastest rising on Combat!
Andre Cash jumps over the top rope and PG charges at him with a massive lariat. Cash ducks it and kicks him in the gut. Once he’s bent over Cash lifts him above his head in a gorilla press slam and the crowd goes crazy. He then proceeds to press him not once, but three times showing off the massive strength before dropping him on his shoulder and slamming the 280 pound man hard into the mat. By this point TJ has attacked Sebastian from behind and the two start to brawl outside the ring. TJ hits an Irish whip on Sebastian sending him hard into the massive dome face first. Axel is dragging up the body of the 7 foot tall wraith and somehow manages to flip him in position for Broke Axel (outsiders edge). Wolf was in the corner watching this and took the shot to bounce off the rope jumping in the air hitting the Wolf Bite (superman punch) on Axel and sending him up and over the top rope to the outside.
Glass: They are starting to hit finishers on each other as they wear down, it’s been almost 20 minutes at this point for some of them and the fatigue is really starting to show as they are slower to get back up.
Higgins: Yet they still get back up, TJ still favors his shoulder, Iron wolf has been beaten and battled, Sebastian was put through a table but they all still get up. This match is chaos in a cage but these men are showing exactly why they are the best for it.
Cash is in the ring with PG 13 as he lifts him up on the top turnbuckle PG begins to fight back sending a few punches at the side of Cash’s head to stagger him backwards, the big man then drops off the top and levels cash with a lariat. However Cash, being as fresh as he is, rolls under the bottom rope to keep him from following up. Once on the outside however TJ who is on the apron at this time sees him and gets a running start as he flips forward to hit a running senton. Cash manages to see it coming and catches him, powering him up he spins and hits a large powerbomb on the top of the steel steps sending TJ flying off the steps in pain.
Higgins: TJ Alexander just got leveled, I can’t believe it but it seems like he is still moving. They should really consider sending someone to check on him.
Glass: TJ Alexander is proving he is one of the toughest men in the industry and exactly why he is in this match. He has been here from the start and refuses to stay down. Still when a guy the size of Andre Cash wants you down, he has ways of getting the job done TJ had better start being smarter about when he takes his shots.
Higgins: It’s not called High Risk for nothing I guess.
The Air Horn hits again but this time pyro begins to explode and red lights flash from the ceiling of the arena signaling the last member of the match is entering. ‘Ze Nigmar’ by Rotting Christ blasts loudly on the PA and Caleb Scott is seen at the top of the ramp. He stares a few seconds at the chaos in the middle of Siege Perilous taking it all in before he slowly strolls down the ramp and into the madness.
Charity: Caleb Scott has now entered Siege Perilous!
Higgins: The Television Champion and last entrant of Siege Perilous has arrived and once he is in and the cage is locked the match really starts.
Glass: That’s right one of these 8 men will have to climb all the way to the top of this 25 foot structure and grab the Global title for themselves. That however is a lot easier said than done.
Caleb enters the cage lurking by the entrance as it locks behind him and the bell rings again to signify the official start.
***Ding, Ding***
Inside the ring the battle continues to rage on, each man trying to get an inch against another Caleb on the other hand decides not to engage at first. He realizes the advantage he has in coming in last, he realizes he is the freshest and the match is truly starting so instead of heading towards anyone he goes to under the ring and begins to rummage around. After a few seconds he pulls out a large steel ladder from under it. He begins to prop it up right beside the cage.
Higgins: Caleb is deciding to use the ladder to get up the cage quicker, what a smart move. It will not get him to the top but it will let him make a good 15 foot of the climb easier than scaling the entire side of the dome.
Glass: He is the TV champ for a reason but he is also in the ring with 7 of the best competitors in the wrestling industry so I don’t think it will be that easy.
He starts up the ladder but as he does he catches the broken body of TJ Alexander pulling himself up by the ring apron and Caleb pauses just a bit almost as if he is considering going to finish off the job that Cash started. It is this small hesitation however that gets the attention of Sebastian Hamilton who quickly starts to scale the other side of the ladder. As both of them reach up the top of the ladder at the same time they begin to exchange blows with each other. With each blow the ladder shakes just a bit more. As they struggle however TJ Alexander once again regains his wits and see’s what is happening. He quickly climbs to the apron then up to the top turnbuckle nearby before walking the ropes until he is close enough to leap from the ropes onto the side of the ladder that Sebastian and Caleb are fighting on. This rocks the ladder greatly but both Caleb and Sebastian manage to reach out grasping the side of the dome and stabilizing the ladder again. Now that all three men are some how clinging onto the they begin to exchange blows as they try to get the others off so they can make a clean climb to the dome.
Glass: These men are in a dangerous place at the moment, if any of them let go just a bit that is a 15 foot fall onto the hard ground below.
Higgins: With TJ’s hurt shoulder he has to be having a hard time a hard time holding on this is when the fatigue of such a long match starts to kick in and the real advantage Caleb has for coming in last starts to show.
Meanwhile on the other side of the ring Axel, Wolf, PG-13 and Wraith are battling each other. Iron Wolf irish whips the much bigger wraith hard into the steel steps causing them to fly apart. PG-13 and Axel are throwing punches on each other as they both stand on the apron of the ring. PG-13 gets the advantage as Axel staggers back a bit, PG manages to hook up Axel and hits a Uranage slamming Axel hard on the apron as he falls to his feet on the outside. He is now standing where Hamilton had pulled out the second table that was never set up. PG decides to take a moment to set it up. As he is doing this however Wolf decides to make his attempt to start to climb up the steel dome, PG see’s this and automatically leaves the hurt Axel and goes for him. Grabbing him by the boot he starts to pull at his leg hard trying to get him down. After a bit of a struggle he manages to do so putting Wolf on his shoulders and then hits the Revelation (F-5) on wolf sending him through the table he just set up. Axel at this moment is up and see’s Wraith back to his feet as well, Wraith is propped up by the Siege Perilous door. Axel doesn’t seem to notice this as he lowers his head and charges full speed hitting the “Canadian Ending” (spear) on Wraith slamming him so hard that the two men burst the cage door off the hinges and spilling the two men to the outside of the dome.
Higgins: The entire point of this grotesque metal structure is to keep the fight inside, and these two beast just proved that no structure no matter how powerful can keep Combatants of this caliber contained!
Glass: There is a good chance that Wraith just got hurt bad with that, I can’t believe this is happening these men are putting everything on the line for this match!
Back on the other side of the ring as the three men battle on the top of the ladder Andre Cash finally takes notice. The big man however doesn’t attempt to try to climb with them, instead he uses his immense power to begin to pull the ladder itself down. Caleb, TJ, and Hamilton can’t do much to prevent it so instead both Hamilton and Caleb are able to make a leap from the ladder onto the side of the dome. TJ has the ladder between him and the dome so it is a much harder task. He is able to some how climb up as the ladder falls and leap over it towards the cage, he however can’t seem to make it all the way but instead he grasp on to Caleb’s leg keeping him from falling. Cash uses this moment to start to climb up the dome himself, using his massive muscles to scale the cage rather quickly not near as tired as the men who just battled at the top of the cage he catches up to Hamilton and starts to try to pull him off. By this time all four men are about 15 or more feet up the side of the steel dome.
Glass: There is only one way down for any of these men at this point and it’s not going to be a fun trip no matter who has to take it.
Higgins: At this point anyone who wins this is more than deserving and I just hope everyone walks out in one piece.
Back on the other side of the ring PG decides to try his luck by climbing up on the side of the dome and towards his prize. Axel now on the outside of the Siege Perilous dome notices PG going up so he decides to climb as well only he is on the outside of the Dome. As the two climb up they end up across from each other on the same Dome wall taking jabs at each other as they try to climb, slowing each others ascension as they do.
Glass: Axel and PG have seemingly left the other two on the ground and battling across the dome from each other as they climb! Slowly they get further and further and eventually one of them is going to have a long way down as well!
Higgins: For such big men they are climbing very quickly up this structure and towards the top.
Back on the other side as the four continue to fight on the side Caleb starts to take a few quick kicks to the hurt shoulder of TJ he has to release with that arm but quickly manages to fall forward enough and catch the dome with his better arm. TJ tries to pull himself up to safety but Caleb smells blood at this point and hits a swinging variation of ‘Grim Death’ (running knee strike) right into the side of TJ’s head sending him off the cage and falling over 15 foot to the floor. Cash and Hamilton are right beside each other exchanging right hand punches, the much bigger Cash has an advantage and staggers Hamilton a bit. This stops Hamilton from being able to fire back right when it looks like Hamilton is going to let go he reaches into his trunks and pulls out his brass knuckles he had stowed away from earlier and sends a hard left into the head of Cash causing him to release his grip and take the long fall as well.
Glass: Four men have a big advantage now as PG-13, Axel Shaw, Caleb Scott, and Sebastian Hamilton are continue to scale up the sides of Siege Perilous!
Higgins: This could be it, we could be watching the start of the end of the first Siege Perilous!
The four men reach the top at almost the same time with the Global title in arms reach of all four of them as this point. The fans are going crazy at this point as they begin to chant ‘Combat, Combat, Combat’ but their chant is interrupted as ‘Kingdom’ by Downstait hits the PA and the IIW star Crush appears on the entrance ramp. He isn’t lounging around enjoying the show however as he rushes towards the Dome, he is automatically stopped by security as he doesn’t hesitate to send a few rights and lefts at them leaving them on their back. Once he has dispersed of them he gets on the outside of the massive dome and begins to scale it himself.
Higgins: What on earth is going on?! Crush is here? He isn’t even on this brand and now he’s scaling the side of Siege Perilous? He does realize he can’t win this right?
Glass: He has a long history with at least two of the competitors sitting on the edge of that Dome, my guess would be more of trying to settle a grudge! His brother PG-13 kidnapped his wife at one point, and Axel Shaw attacked him just last Mayhem.
Higgins: First Axel Shaw is on Mayhem, then Bear-O-Dactyl! accepts an open challenge and now THIS! Not to mention the fiasco with Raines and all the Purge did last week, good lord this split is starting to blend together really quick some one needs to get control of this mess!
The four Combatants are now standing as best they can at the top of this large dome structure, you can see the footing is very uneasy as they wobble trying to keep their balance. PG-13 makes the first move reaching for the Global title and ignoring those around him. Sebastian is standing next to him and doesn’t allow it to happening using his brass knuckles to pop PG in the head hard, PG however takes a few steps back but some how seems to endure the knuckles screaming at Sebastian and reaching out gripping him around the neck and signaling to the crowd he plans to chokeslam him through the cage hole to the ground. Sebastian doesn’t hesitate to use the brass knuckles again, this time staggering him even more. PG looses his grip on Sebastian and his footing, tumbling backwards almost rolling down the outside of the large dome he tumbles this way about 15 feet before catching his grip before he hits the ground. His Brother Crush climbs right pass him without even looking his way, his eyes still focused on the top of the Dome. Sebastian hesitates just a moment looking down at PG and admiring his work, one of the last three on the peak you can see the Pride on his face. In this moment however Axel saw a chance he pounces forward hitting a large shoulder on to Sebastian and sends him to the same fate as PG. Tumbling down the outside of the Dome until he is able to catch himself
Higgins: I’ll be damn every time these men hit each other, every fall they take makes my stomach sink to the bottom of my toes. This is dangerous, I am not sure if Kalvin realized the death trap he designed.
Glass: I think it just proves that our honorable GM is just as sick and twisted as anyone else in the industry. Hi morale high ground is something he tells himself to sleep at night, anyone who would put his to stars in this sort of match and sit back enjoying it has to be a twisted individual.
Now with just two men left they turn to each other and begin to exchange hard right hands to the side of each others heads, each blow causing them to stagger on the top of the dome structure. Caleb seems to gain the edge with one and he follows quickly with a heavy chop sending Axel back a few more steps on the dome. The position of the two have changed, Caleb now much closer to the actual belt is also got his back to the hole in the dome. The space he knocked Axel back gave him the space need to lunge forward with a Lariat that sends Caleb backwards, his body flips and goes down the whole at the last possible moment he manages to grasp on the edge with his fingers. Axel ignores this as he turns towards the belt. Still Caleb manages to pull his arms up on the edge so now he has his whole chest on the top of the dome but his feet still dangling in the air. He sees Axel going for the belt and determines he doesn’t have time to crawl all the way back up so he grabs the man by the legs tripping him and bringing him to his knees. Axel was seconds from having the belt is now a few feet away screams in frustration and begins to punch Caleb in the top of the head trying to get him to let go.
Higgins: Axel is so close to being our first ever Global Champion! Cash and TJ are both up but fighting each other as they try to climb, Wolf is up at this point and climbing but he’s barely made any head way. The Wraith is being seen by our medical staff he hasn’t moved since Axel speared him through the cage. Hamilton and PG are both climbing back that way but as hurt as they are it’s going slow and they still got a while before they make it. If Axel just manages to get Caleb down he wins, but if Caleb falls that’s a big drop right to the center of the ring that could be a serious injury waiting to happen!
Glass: Caleb is tough as nails, despite everything he has done with the Purge you can not take away Caleb’s grit and determination, his willingness to put everything out there to win.
It is however the ‘outsider’ Crush that makes it to the top first and quickly sends an Elbow to the back of the head of Axel. This staggers him a bit but he manages to hold on, He turns to see Crush and looks shocked and confused by him being here.
Glass: Well I guess we know what was on Crush’s mind, revenge from what the Mecca did to him on Mayhem!
Axel goes to swing at Crush but Caleb still holding onto his foot jerks it from under him and causes him to miss. Caleb uses this moment to pull himself all the way up and Crush doesn’t hesitate to hit the ‘Bone Crusher’ (spear) on Axel sending him into the hole in the dome and tumbling down 25 feet into the ring crashing hard causing the entire middle to cave in. Caleb now up to his feet stares Crush in the eyes for a second before reaching up and starting to take the belt down..
Higgins: No, No, No not like this!
Glass: Crush was destroyed last week and Axel was a big part of that I guess this is his way of getting a bit of revenge in a grand fashion!
Finally Caleb has the strap in his hand and the bell officially rings.
***Ding, Ding***
Charity: Your winner and FIRST EVER COMBAT GLOBAL CHAMPION CALEB SCOTT!!
Crush begins to climb down as Caleb now alone on top of the Siege Perilous dome slowly raises the belt in the air as the fans are chanting ‘Combat, Combat, Combat’ the logo flashes and the show goes off the air.
The view switches as we see a close up of the Global Title as it is being hoisted up in the air, simultaneously the large dome is being lowered around the ring. The ring crews and referees run around getting things together as Charity Langston stands in the center of the chaos and prepares to start us off.
Higgins: This is history in the making and the time is now Glass, do you have a favorite going into this?
Glass: I don’t think you can count anyone out but it will be a lot harder for the longer you’re in the match. Iron Wolf and TJ Alexander are starting us off and that means they have an uphill fight in front of them, while Caleb Scott secured the last entry in tonight’s match and that has to prove to be a big advantage to him!
Higgins: Well looks like everyone is in place let’s make history!
Charity: Ladies and Gentlemen it is time for your MAIN EVENT!!
The fans began to cheer so loudly that Charity had to pause a second to let it die down.
Charity: The next match is the world’s first ever Siege Perilous match!! Eight Combatants will enter the steel dome in a predetermined order. Once all eight Combatants are in the first one to scale the dome and retrieve the Global Championship from where it hangs in the air will be the winner and Combat’s first ever GLOBAL CHAMPION!! The dome cage will be locked once the last entrant enters, there is no disqualification and anything goes once the cage is locked.
The fans start the chant ‘Combat, Combat, Combat’ as she continues.
Charity: The first entrant in Siege Perilous standing at 6 foot 2 and weighing in at 245 lbs he is the Friday Night Combat Uprising Champion, he is IRON WOLF!!!
The arena erupts in howls as “Iron Wolf” by Beastwars begins. Iron Wolf then appears from the back, leading the Howl that is echoed by what seems to be the entire arena.He makes his way down to the ring while growling and snarling for the fans. He walks into the giant steel dome of Siege Perilous then rolls into the ring and climbs to the nearest corner, howling again for the fans.
Charity: The second Combatant in tonight’s Siege Perilous hailing from London, England he stands 6 foot 1 and weighs 188 lbs, Kidd Krazy T J ALEXANDER!!
‘The Touch’ by Stan Bush hits and the arena goes crazy with chants of TJ, TJ, TJ! The young man appears and seems to be full of energy as the Pyro blast on either side of the ramp and he makes his way into the cage, pausing to stare at the immense structure before heading inside and preparing for the match.
One Ref and three members of security stand at the only cage door as the entire referee staff are inside the cage to monitor the action. After a few brief words from the ref in the ring the match is officially underway.
***Ding, Ding***
TJ Alexander barely waits for the bell as he charges forward jumping into the air and hitting a spinning lariat on Wolf sending him down hard to the mat. TJ follows up by going to the mat and attempting to put in an arm bar. Wolf, however still fresh in this match, has the sense to send a few hard left hands into the face of TJ and cause him to loosen his grip. TJ rolls backwards to get some space then both men are up on their feet once again staring at each other.
Glass: The Game Changer and the Brawlador are starting us off and what a contrast of styles. The high flying TJ Alexander is everything one expects from a Luchador. While our masked Uprising has less spring in his step and more lead in his punch. A true contrast of brute force versus speed and finesse.
Higgins: The caveat to all this is they can’t win, at least not for over 20 minutes when all 8 competitors are in and by that time they will be the most battered, and most worn guys in the match.
Glass: that’s right these two will be alone for five minutes before the third competitor enters the match, then every three minutes another competitor enters before the cage door is locked and the real match starts.
The Technically sound TJ Alexander motions for a lock up but Iron Wolf responds by giving a swift kick to the gut of TJ. He then rears back and lands a massive headbutt that staggers TJ, Wolf doesn’t hesitate to continue his assault with a series of punches that forces TJ back into the corner. Once he is in the corner Wolf lets out a big howl getting the fans behind him before he climbs to the second rope and begins to punch TJ in the head. You can hear the fans counting with him
1..,2..,3..,4..,5..,6..7,..8..,9..,10!!
This however is not a normal match, with no DQ in place Wolf doesn’t bother to stop at 10 he instead fires off 5 more rapid punches into the head of TJ before hopping off the turnbuckle and allowing TJ to stagger forward and fall to the mat.
Glass: It’s that mean streak that gives Wolf an edge in this entire thing. The fans love him but he’s far from a saint.
Higgins: Still you have to think when it comes to climbing the 25 foot steel dome that someone like TJ would have an advantage right?
Glass: You would think that, but our Combatants are hungry and want this more than anything so I am sure they are all more than capable of making that climb, that is if their bodies are destroyed before the time to climb comes!
Wolf goes to pick up TJ off the mat to drag him to his feet. Once he does he grabs him for a suplex but TJ braces himself and stops Wolf from picking him up. He then overpowers Wolf and reverses the move, lifting Wolf high in the air as he lets him hang there for a few seconds to let the blood rush to his head before landing a vicious looking brain buster on Iron Wolf.
A large Air Horn is heard echoing throughout the arena as ‘Hero’ by Skillet blast across the PA the fans erupt in excitement as we see PG-13 appear at the top of the entrance ramp. He power walks down the ramp heading towards the entrance of Siege Perilous.
Charity: PG-13 has entered Siege Perilous!
Glass: Well after 5 minutes of battling each other their reward is the Monster that IIW knows simply as PG 13!!
Higgins: Not a gift I would want that’s for sure, but I bet it’s a gift that keeps giving. Pain that is!
He hits the ring hot as he automatically goes over to Wolf picking him up and throwing him over his head with a big belly to belly suplex that shakes the ring on impact. He then turns to lock eyes with TJ Alexander who has managed to pull himself up in the corner. Both men have a long history and you can see the hate in their eyes for each other. TJ doesn’t hesitate to charge the man hitting him hard with several forearms, they seem to stagger him back a few steps but are not able to knock him down. TJ decides to change it up by tossing a kick but PG is able to catch it, this just sits TJ up to hit a vicious enziguri sending PG back and leaning against the ropes. TJ decides to bounce off the far rope to get some momentum as he charges as the now staggered PG 13 but as he springs in the air for a flying clothesline PG catches him mid air and tosses him over the top rope, sending him a few feet through the air crashing hard into the the Siege Perilous Steel Dome. His body makes a loud thud as he falls from the contact point nearly 8 feet in the air and lands hard on the floor outside the ring. PG turns towards TJ and mocks him a bit, this gives Wolf a moment to get behind the big man and hit a giant belly to back suplex on him.
Higgins: I think TJ Alexander might need some medical attention after that fall! First colliding with that unforgiving steel dome then falling all the way down to the hard concrete floor.
Glass: TJ may be hurt but I can tell you this. I have watched a lot of tape on the guys on Combat when I was getting ready for this job, I did my research and TJ Alexander is not leaving this match until it’s finished unless its business class in the back of a hearse.
Wolf doesn’t waste a second as he begins to give the boots to PG 13, he then bounces off the ropes and hits a leg drop on him. He then grabs PG in a rear naked choke applying as much pressure as he can as you can see the face of PG turn a bright red he somehow begins to power himself up. He slams his fist on the mat a few times before moving to a standing position with Wolf still locked in on his back. PG rushes backwards sandwiching the body of Wolf between himself and the turnbuckle. Somehow as these two battle in the ring TJ has made his way to his feet greatly favoring his left shoulder that first made contact with the dome and later he fell on. Despite this he is on the apron and somehow climbs to the top turnbuckle adjacent to the one Wolf and PG are currently battling at. Once in position he leaps off hitting a Missile drop kick on PG sending him backward again, once again slamming hard into Wolf. This causes both Wolf and PG to drop to the mat, Still when TJ hits the ground from his move he lands once again on that left shoulder and quickly clutches it in pain.
Higgins: TJ is hurt, this guy is a true warrior! On X Plosion he was attacked by Caleb Scott and the Purge, now he’s here and despite being tossed over the top rope and into the Dome he is doing moves like that!
Glass: He is a remarkable talent but he needs to realize that he has to fight smart. The more he risks hurting his arm early on the harder it will be to climb that dome when it’s time to win this match.
Glass is interrupted by a loud Air Horn sounded as ‘The Wraith’ by ICP blares over the PA and the giant man stalks his way down the ramp and towards the hellish structure that is Siege Perilous.
Charity: The Wraith has now entered Siege Perilous!
Glass: That entrance marks half of the competitors entering the match and this is a BIG one. The Wraith snaked by after losing his debut and still made it into the qualifier and now he’s here and that is something no one in that ring right now is happy about.
Higgins: You still have to think that regardless of how much of an advantage his size is now, it may work against him when it comes time to climb 25 feet to the top to win this match.
By the time the Wraith has entered the ring all three men are up and waiting for him. TJ and Wolf charge at the same time a series of punches and kicks that sends him backwards a few steps. Still he sends an elbow at the side of Wolf’s head and then grabs TJ by the throat. Wolf tries to attack Wraith but he gets a hand around his throat as well. In one swift motion he lifts them both in the air and slams them hard to the mat with a double chokeslam.
Glass: The pure size and power of Wraith is impressive and honestly scary as hell. I would not be amazed if he ends up walking out here with the Global Title over his shoulder tonight.
Higgins: But why didn’t PG back up the other two when he came in? Wouldn’t it be beneficial for him to join them to take down the monster threat that is wraith?
Glass: In PG eyes, he is the monster and Wraith just handled the light work for him.
The two monsters lock eyes on each other and quickly get in each other’s face exchanging a few words before they begin to brawl. Heavy handed blows to the side of each other’s head for several seconds, neither man giving an inch until Wraith finally slips in a rising knee to the gut of PG to stagger him back. He then kicks him in the gut and places PG in place for a power bomb, lifting him into position PG isn’t done however. PG starts to punch Wraith in the face stopping him from finishing the move, after about 4 punches he is able to slip off the bigger man’s shoulders and land on his feet. Once on the ground he kicks Wraith in the gut and then gets behind him, locking him up in a pumphandle before lifting him and slamming him forward.
Higgins: Oh My GOD the strength of PG, Wraith is a behemoth of a man and PG just picked him up with ease slamming him hard into the mat.
Glass: PG is going to be hard to stop not just tonight but each and every week on Combat as he demonstrates his power and physical nature every time he steps in the ring.
The air horn sounds once again as “When the man comes down” hits the PA and not just Sebastian Hamilton but the entire Hamilton Establishment appears at the top of the ramp. Hamilton has his Hardcore title snug around his waist as he marches The fans let out a chorus of boos as the entire group heads down the ramp.
Charity: Sebastian Hamilton has now entered Siege Perilous!
Higgins: What on earth is Sebastian doing? Why are his goons with him!
Glass: Those are not goons! Those are his brothers and I am sure they are just here for morale support. Besides this is the Hardcore Champion you go tell him his brothers can’t enjoy the show first hand.
Once they get to the cage side the security and referees proceed to stop Sebastian’s brothers from entering. They initially start to push back and look to break out a fight when Sebastian waves them off. You can see one of them slip Sebastian something that none of the ring side officials notice. The Establishment backs up the ramp and exits as Sebastian finally enters the Siege Perilous dome.
Higgins: I think Edward slipped him something! Once in the cage anything is allowed but you’re not supposed to go in with weapons.
Glass: Your being paranoid Sebastian is an upstanding citizen, he doesn’t need to be slipped anything. There are plenty of violent weapons under the ring that he can use if he deems fit, and he can surely win without them.
At this point the four men had begun to battle amongst themselves, TJ and Wolf dueling in one corner while PG still had the advantage on Wraith in another. Sebastian heads to the duo of TJ and Wolf, grabbing TJ by the shoulder to get his attention. Once TJ had spun around he rears back and hits him with a hard right. TJ drops hard and looks to be out of it, you can see on Sebastian’s right hand is a pair of brass knuckles. Wolf doesn’t seem to realize what happens and attempts to hit a lariat on Sebastian who just manages to duck. Hamilton then kicks wolf in the gut and hits an irish whip on him, sending him right into the back of PG 13. PG staggers forward before turning to see Wolf. Wolf receives a series of large right hands from PG but somehow wolf manages to block the fourth punch and grab PG around the waist to hit a T-Bone Suplex on the big man.
Higgins: He wouldn’t bring in a weapon you said? Looks like Hamilton had a plan this entire time.
Glass: I said he didn’t need to, but of course he had a plan. He’s a master tactician always staying a few steps ahead of those he is against. Honestly I applaud his effort.
Hamilton slides under the bottom rope and begins to rummage under the ring. Eventually he pulls out not one, but two tables tossing one off to the side for a moment he sits up the first right by ringside. Climbing back in the ring he takes TJ who is still groggy from the shot with the knuckles and sends him hard into the corner. He places TJ on the top turnbuckle and then heads to the apron and climbs up after him. He hooks him up in an attempt to superplex TJ from the top and onto the table he has set up outside. TJ however is a bit more alive then Sebastian thought and begins to fire back with punches to loosen his grip. After a few more minutes Tj is now in control as he stands up all the way and hits a top rope Sling Blade sending both men off the apron and onto the ground through the table that was set up.
Higgins: The more men that are entered the more dangerous this is becoming and we still have three more men to come in.
Glass: Yes we do and we can only hope all 5 of these men make it until everyone is here because right now they are trying to kill each other.
The air horn once again sounds as ‘Envy’ by Twiztid hits the PA and Axel Shaw appears at the ramp, a cocky grin on his face as he makes his way down the ramp. Ripping off his Mecca T-Shirt before entering the deathly structure that is Siege Perilous.
Charity: Axel Shaw has now entered Siege Perilous!
Higgins: Axel Shaw has already made a name for himself in IIW and barely been signed, picking up two wins on the first combat, joining the Mecca on Mayhem and being entered in Keys to Success now he looks to add a Global Title to his list of achievements!
Glass: He also has tons of history with both PG 13 and TJ Alexander from their time in ECE together
Axel slides in and looks at the ring. TJ & Hamilton are still down on the outside of the ring While PG, Wolf and Wraith brawl in the center of the ring. He smiles as he charges forward headed right at Wolf. Wolf however side steps him almost like a matador with a bull and instead of Wolf, Axel nails Wraith with a Canadian Ending slamming him hard into the mat. PG quickly goes on the attack sending a series of clubbing blows into the back of Axel. He goes to jerk Axel up but Axel is ready and hits a large belly to belly slam on him. Iron Wolf is also ready to pounce though and reaches back before thrusting his hand into Axel Neck locking in the Wolf Bite (Togan Deathgrip) Still at this point TJ Alexander is up and climbing on the top rope. Once perched up there he jumps off with a 450 splash hitting both Wolf and Axel at the same time breaking up the submission but taking all three men out in the process.
Glass: It is a decision like that, to jump from the top rope into the midst of the chaos that makes me wonder if TJ has any concern for his own safety at this point in his career. He’s young, he’s talented but he needs to learn to protect himself while he wins.
Higgins: TJ Alexander will put his body through whatever to get the win he feels he deserves, he has earned it and he will not stop until he proves it by hoisting that big gold belt above his head.
Hamilton is up on the outside and looks in at the chaos with a bit of a smirk. He reaches back under the ring pulling out a chair before he climbs into the ring with all the broken bodies. He looks as Wolf starts to get up he whacks him in the head with a chair sending him back down, then he does the same to TJ, then again with PG-13, as Wraith rises though he gives him a loud thud with the chair but it doesn’t seem to phase him as he continues to get up. Once up Sebastian gives him another whack, this one with no effect but Hamilton is unfettered tossing his chair to the ground he drops down to one knee and hits a low blow on the big man. This doubles him over, Sebastian then stands and hits the Established 1808 (reverse ddt) onto the steel chair.
Higgins: Sebastian is showing why he is the Hardcore Champion right now, one that is extremely dangerous at that.
Glass: First knuckles, then the table now a chair he is proving he likes to make sure he has an advantage in any encounter. I am just curious how this cluster of a brawl is going to go once everyone is in and people have to start worrying about scaling that cage.
The air horn once again signals as the fans go crazy when “killer” by Eminem when we see the Alpha Andre Cash appear at the ramp. He almost springs into the ring as he rushes to get into the action with the behemoths already in the ring.
Charity: Andre Cash has now entered Siege Perilous!
Glass: The last of the big men in the match tonight and by far the freshest of the bunch. He will be dangerous, more dangerous than normal even.
Higgins: And that’s saying a lot, Cash was the first man to qualify last week with his impressive show of strength during the qualifier match. He is fast, smart and violent by design he may be one of the newer names on the roster but he is by far one of the most talented and fastest rising on Combat!
Andre Cash jumps over the top rope and PG charges at him with a massive lariat. Cash ducks it and kicks him in the gut. Once he’s bent over Cash lifts him above his head in a gorilla press slam and the crowd goes crazy. He then proceeds to press him not once, but three times showing off the massive strength before dropping him on his shoulder and slamming the 280 pound man hard into the mat. By this point TJ has attacked Sebastian from behind and the two start to brawl outside the ring. TJ hits an Irish whip on Sebastian sending him hard into the massive dome face first. Axel is dragging up the body of the 7 foot tall wraith and somehow manages to flip him in position for Broke Axel (outsiders edge). Wolf was in the corner watching this and took the shot to bounce off the rope jumping in the air hitting the Wolf Bite (superman punch) on Axel and sending him up and over the top rope to the outside.
Glass: They are starting to hit finishers on each other as they wear down, it’s been almost 20 minutes at this point for some of them and the fatigue is really starting to show as they are slower to get back up.
Higgins: Yet they still get back up, TJ still favors his shoulder, Iron wolf has been beaten and battled, Sebastian was put through a table but they all still get up. This match is chaos in a cage but these men are showing exactly why they are the best for it.
Cash is in the ring with PG 13 as he lifts him up on the top turnbuckle PG begins to fight back sending a few punches at the side of Cash’s head to stagger him backwards, the big man then drops off the top and levels cash with a lariat. However Cash, being as fresh as he is, rolls under the bottom rope to keep him from following up. Once on the outside however TJ who is on the apron at this time sees him and gets a running start as he flips forward to hit a running senton. Cash manages to see it coming and catches him, powering him up he spins and hits a large powerbomb on the top of the steel steps sending TJ flying off the steps in pain.
Higgins: TJ Alexander just got leveled, I can’t believe it but it seems like he is still moving. They should really consider sending someone to check on him.
Glass: TJ Alexander is proving he is one of the toughest men in the industry and exactly why he is in this match. He has been here from the start and refuses to stay down. Still when a guy the size of Andre Cash wants you down, he has ways of getting the job done TJ had better start being smarter about when he takes his shots.
Higgins: It’s not called High Risk for nothing I guess.
The Air Horn hits again but this time pyro begins to explode and red lights flash from the ceiling of the arena signaling the last member of the match is entering. ‘Ze Nigmar’ by Rotting Christ blasts loudly on the PA and Caleb Scott is seen at the top of the ramp. He stares a few seconds at the chaos in the middle of Siege Perilous taking it all in before he slowly strolls down the ramp and into the madness.
Charity: Caleb Scott has now entered Siege Perilous!
Higgins: The Television Champion and last entrant of Siege Perilous has arrived and once he is in and the cage is locked the match really starts.
Glass: That’s right one of these 8 men will have to climb all the way to the top of this 25 foot structure and grab the Global title for themselves. That however is a lot easier said than done.
Caleb enters the cage lurking by the entrance as it locks behind him and the bell rings again to signify the official start.
***Ding, Ding***
Inside the ring the battle continues to rage on, each man trying to get an inch against another Caleb on the other hand decides not to engage at first. He realizes the advantage he has in coming in last, he realizes he is the freshest and the match is truly starting so instead of heading towards anyone he goes to under the ring and begins to rummage around. After a few seconds he pulls out a large steel ladder from under it. He begins to prop it up right beside the cage.
Higgins: Caleb is deciding to use the ladder to get up the cage quicker, what a smart move. It will not get him to the top but it will let him make a good 15 foot of the climb easier than scaling the entire side of the dome.
Glass: He is the TV champ for a reason but he is also in the ring with 7 of the best competitors in the wrestling industry so I don’t think it will be that easy.
He starts up the ladder but as he does he catches the broken body of TJ Alexander pulling himself up by the ring apron and Caleb pauses just a bit almost as if he is considering going to finish off the job that Cash started. It is this small hesitation however that gets the attention of Sebastian Hamilton who quickly starts to scale the other side of the ladder. As both of them reach up the top of the ladder at the same time they begin to exchange blows with each other. With each blow the ladder shakes just a bit more. As they struggle however TJ Alexander once again regains his wits and see’s what is happening. He quickly climbs to the apron then up to the top turnbuckle nearby before walking the ropes until he is close enough to leap from the ropes onto the side of the ladder that Sebastian and Caleb are fighting on. This rocks the ladder greatly but both Caleb and Sebastian manage to reach out grasping the side of the dome and stabilizing the ladder again. Now that all three men are some how clinging onto the they begin to exchange blows as they try to get the others off so they can make a clean climb to the dome.
Glass: These men are in a dangerous place at the moment, if any of them let go just a bit that is a 15 foot fall onto the hard ground below.
Higgins: With TJ’s hurt shoulder he has to be having a hard time a hard time holding on this is when the fatigue of such a long match starts to kick in and the real advantage Caleb has for coming in last starts to show.
Meanwhile on the other side of the ring Axel, Wolf, PG-13 and Wraith are battling each other. Iron Wolf irish whips the much bigger wraith hard into the steel steps causing them to fly apart. PG-13 and Axel are throwing punches on each other as they both stand on the apron of the ring. PG-13 gets the advantage as Axel staggers back a bit, PG manages to hook up Axel and hits a Uranage slamming Axel hard on the apron as he falls to his feet on the outside. He is now standing where Hamilton had pulled out the second table that was never set up. PG decides to take a moment to set it up. As he is doing this however Wolf decides to make his attempt to start to climb up the steel dome, PG see’s this and automatically leaves the hurt Axel and goes for him. Grabbing him by the boot he starts to pull at his leg hard trying to get him down. After a bit of a struggle he manages to do so putting Wolf on his shoulders and then hits the Revelation (F-5) on wolf sending him through the table he just set up. Axel at this moment is up and see’s Wraith back to his feet as well, Wraith is propped up by the Siege Perilous door. Axel doesn’t seem to notice this as he lowers his head and charges full speed hitting the “Canadian Ending” (spear) on Wraith slamming him so hard that the two men burst the cage door off the hinges and spilling the two men to the outside of the dome.
Higgins: The entire point of this grotesque metal structure is to keep the fight inside, and these two beast just proved that no structure no matter how powerful can keep Combatants of this caliber contained!
Glass: There is a good chance that Wraith just got hurt bad with that, I can’t believe this is happening these men are putting everything on the line for this match!
Back on the other side of the ring as the three men battle on the top of the ladder Andre Cash finally takes notice. The big man however doesn’t attempt to try to climb with them, instead he uses his immense power to begin to pull the ladder itself down. Caleb, TJ, and Hamilton can’t do much to prevent it so instead both Hamilton and Caleb are able to make a leap from the ladder onto the side of the dome. TJ has the ladder between him and the dome so it is a much harder task. He is able to some how climb up as the ladder falls and leap over it towards the cage, he however can’t seem to make it all the way but instead he grasp on to Caleb’s leg keeping him from falling. Cash uses this moment to start to climb up the dome himself, using his massive muscles to scale the cage rather quickly not near as tired as the men who just battled at the top of the cage he catches up to Hamilton and starts to try to pull him off. By this time all four men are about 15 or more feet up the side of the steel dome.
Glass: There is only one way down for any of these men at this point and it’s not going to be a fun trip no matter who has to take it.
Higgins: At this point anyone who wins this is more than deserving and I just hope everyone walks out in one piece.
Back on the other side of the ring PG decides to try his luck by climbing up on the side of the dome and towards his prize. Axel now on the outside of the Siege Perilous dome notices PG going up so he decides to climb as well only he is on the outside of the Dome. As the two climb up they end up across from each other on the same Dome wall taking jabs at each other as they try to climb, slowing each others ascension as they do.
Glass: Axel and PG have seemingly left the other two on the ground and battling across the dome from each other as they climb! Slowly they get further and further and eventually one of them is going to have a long way down as well!
Higgins: For such big men they are climbing very quickly up this structure and towards the top.
Back on the other side as the four continue to fight on the side Caleb starts to take a few quick kicks to the hurt shoulder of TJ he has to release with that arm but quickly manages to fall forward enough and catch the dome with his better arm. TJ tries to pull himself up to safety but Caleb smells blood at this point and hits a swinging variation of ‘Grim Death’ (running knee strike) right into the side of TJ’s head sending him off the cage and falling over 15 foot to the floor. Cash and Hamilton are right beside each other exchanging right hand punches, the much bigger Cash has an advantage and staggers Hamilton a bit. This stops Hamilton from being able to fire back right when it looks like Hamilton is going to let go he reaches into his trunks and pulls out his brass knuckles he had stowed away from earlier and sends a hard left into the head of Cash causing him to release his grip and take the long fall as well.
Glass: Four men have a big advantage now as PG-13, Axel Shaw, Caleb Scott, and Sebastian Hamilton are continue to scale up the sides of Siege Perilous!
Higgins: This could be it, we could be watching the start of the end of the first Siege Perilous!
The four men reach the top at almost the same time with the Global title in arms reach of all four of them as this point. The fans are going crazy at this point as they begin to chant ‘Combat, Combat, Combat’ but their chant is interrupted as ‘Kingdom’ by Downstait hits the PA and the IIW star Crush appears on the entrance ramp. He isn’t lounging around enjoying the show however as he rushes towards the Dome, he is automatically stopped by security as he doesn’t hesitate to send a few rights and lefts at them leaving them on their back. Once he has dispersed of them he gets on the outside of the massive dome and begins to scale it himself.
Higgins: What on earth is going on?! Crush is here? He isn’t even on this brand and now he’s scaling the side of Siege Perilous? He does realize he can’t win this right?
Glass: He has a long history with at least two of the competitors sitting on the edge of that Dome, my guess would be more of trying to settle a grudge! His brother PG-13 kidnapped his wife at one point, and Axel Shaw attacked him just last Mayhem.
Higgins: First Axel Shaw is on Mayhem, then Bear-O-Dactyl! accepts an open challenge and now THIS! Not to mention the fiasco with Raines and all the Purge did last week, good lord this split is starting to blend together really quick some one needs to get control of this mess!
The four Combatants are now standing as best they can at the top of this large dome structure, you can see the footing is very uneasy as they wobble trying to keep their balance. PG-13 makes the first move reaching for the Global title and ignoring those around him. Sebastian is standing next to him and doesn’t allow it to happening using his brass knuckles to pop PG in the head hard, PG however takes a few steps back but some how seems to endure the knuckles screaming at Sebastian and reaching out gripping him around the neck and signaling to the crowd he plans to chokeslam him through the cage hole to the ground. Sebastian doesn’t hesitate to use the brass knuckles again, this time staggering him even more. PG looses his grip on Sebastian and his footing, tumbling backwards almost rolling down the outside of the large dome he tumbles this way about 15 feet before catching his grip before he hits the ground. His Brother Crush climbs right pass him without even looking his way, his eyes still focused on the top of the Dome. Sebastian hesitates just a moment looking down at PG and admiring his work, one of the last three on the peak you can see the Pride on his face. In this moment however Axel saw a chance he pounces forward hitting a large shoulder on to Sebastian and sends him to the same fate as PG. Tumbling down the outside of the Dome until he is able to catch himself
Higgins: I’ll be damn every time these men hit each other, every fall they take makes my stomach sink to the bottom of my toes. This is dangerous, I am not sure if Kalvin realized the death trap he designed.
Glass: I think it just proves that our honorable GM is just as sick and twisted as anyone else in the industry. Hi morale high ground is something he tells himself to sleep at night, anyone who would put his to stars in this sort of match and sit back enjoying it has to be a twisted individual.
Now with just two men left they turn to each other and begin to exchange hard right hands to the side of each others heads, each blow causing them to stagger on the top of the dome structure. Caleb seems to gain the edge with one and he follows quickly with a heavy chop sending Axel back a few more steps on the dome. The position of the two have changed, Caleb now much closer to the actual belt is also got his back to the hole in the dome. The space he knocked Axel back gave him the space need to lunge forward with a Lariat that sends Caleb backwards, his body flips and goes down the whole at the last possible moment he manages to grasp on the edge with his fingers. Axel ignores this as he turns towards the belt. Still Caleb manages to pull his arms up on the edge so now he has his whole chest on the top of the dome but his feet still dangling in the air. He sees Axel going for the belt and determines he doesn’t have time to crawl all the way back up so he grabs the man by the legs tripping him and bringing him to his knees. Axel was seconds from having the belt is now a few feet away screams in frustration and begins to punch Caleb in the top of the head trying to get him to let go.
Higgins: Axel is so close to being our first ever Global Champion! Cash and TJ are both up but fighting each other as they try to climb, Wolf is up at this point and climbing but he’s barely made any head way. The Wraith is being seen by our medical staff he hasn’t moved since Axel speared him through the cage. Hamilton and PG are both climbing back that way but as hurt as they are it’s going slow and they still got a while before they make it. If Axel just manages to get Caleb down he wins, but if Caleb falls that’s a big drop right to the center of the ring that could be a serious injury waiting to happen!
Glass: Caleb is tough as nails, despite everything he has done with the Purge you can not take away Caleb’s grit and determination, his willingness to put everything out there to win.
It is however the ‘outsider’ Crush that makes it to the top first and quickly sends an Elbow to the back of the head of Axel. This staggers him a bit but he manages to hold on, He turns to see Crush and looks shocked and confused by him being here.
Glass: Well I guess we know what was on Crush’s mind, revenge from what the Mecca did to him on Mayhem!
Axel goes to swing at Crush but Caleb still holding onto his foot jerks it from under him and causes him to miss. Caleb uses this moment to pull himself all the way up and Crush doesn’t hesitate to hit the ‘Bone Crusher’ (spear) on Axel sending him into the hole in the dome and tumbling down 25 feet into the ring crashing hard causing the entire middle to cave in. Caleb now up to his feet stares Crush in the eyes for a second before reaching up and starting to take the belt down..
Higgins: No, No, No not like this!
Glass: Crush was destroyed last week and Axel was a big part of that I guess this is his way of getting a bit of revenge in a grand fashion!
Finally Caleb has the strap in his hand and the bell officially rings.
***Ding, Ding***
Charity: Your winner and FIRST EVER COMBAT GLOBAL CHAMPION CALEB SCOTT!!
Crush begins to climb down as Caleb now alone on top of the Siege Perilous dome slowly raises the belt in the air as the fans are chanting ‘Combat, Combat, Combat’ the logo flashes and the show goes off the air.
