From PSW No Resolutions
“Ok, time for Plan B” by Enter Shikari begins to play and out comes “The People’s Choice” August Joyce. Joyce is coming down with a serious look on his face. After being attacked from behind at Cinco de Mayo by Fox Industries wrestler, “Slim” Coakley, he’s had one thing on his mind, and it’s not just beating “Slim”, but it’s also getting his hands on the man who orchestrated the whole thing, Kevin Fox.
OK, maybe that’s two things on his mind.
The crowd is behind Joyce as he climbs into the ring. He raises his hands to the crowd, before going toward his corner, waiting for his opponent.
“Grounds for Divorce” by Elbow begins to play as Kevin Fox steps from the entrance first, and the crowd immediately boos. Kevin Fox feigns shock and hurt, but then turns, toward the entrance as the large “Slim” Coakley steps out. He wears simple cut-off jeans along with a white Nike hoodie. He doesn’t seem to notice the crowd booing him, as he looks down as he heads to the ring. Kevin climbs to the apron, and reaches into his suit jacket, pulling out a folded up piece of paper. He waves it at August and says something to him. August looks at him, and then looks down, but he doesn’t give an answer.
There’s no question in my mind that August’s answer will be no. There’s no way that he will work with a guy like Kevin Fox. No way whatsoever.
Fox drops off the apron, as “Slim” takes off his hoodie and drops it to the ground, before turning his attention back to August, who is ready for him. John Empires calls for the bell, and the match begins. Immediately, August rushes across the ring, hammering Slim with a forearm, knocking him back into the corner. August nails him again and again, before Slim grabs him, and turns, throwing August into the corner.
Slim hammers him with a right and a left body shot, before he takes him and sends him to the other side of the ring. August slams into the corner and rebounds out of it. Slim goes for a clothesline, but August ducks it. Slim turns around, and August grabs him, and lifts him up, putting him down with a belly to belly suplex. August goes for a cover, but Slim kicks out before Empires can get down to make the count.
August gets up, but Slim gets up right behind him. August goes to lock-up, but as soon as he does, Slim throws him backwards into the ropes. August tries to rebound, but Slim catches him, and throws him up into the air and then down with a powerful hiptoss. Slim stomps down on August’s side, before kicking him in his lower back.
Slim bends down, and grabs August, lifting him to his feet. He drives him backwards with a huge open handed chop across his chest. August winces from the chop. Slim grabs him with both hands, lifts him up, turns, and throws him down. August slams on his back, and Slim drops down to cover, but August kicks out at one. Slim shakes his head, and bends down, picking August up. He nails him with another open handed chop, but August comes back, grabbing ahold of Slim’s head, and drops down with a jawbreaker.
Slim stumbles backwards, holding his head, trying to shake off the move. August drops down, nailing a chop block that forces Slim to one knee. August rushes to the ropes, and comes back, catching Slim with a rolling neckbreaker. Slim goes down, holding his head, and August jumps up, coming down with a knee drop into Slim’s head. Slim rolls away, getting to the ropes. August starts to lift Slim up, but as he does so, Slim nails him with an uppercut. August stumbles away.
Slim shakes his head, and then jumps up, driving a boot into August’s head. August crashes to the mat from impact, holding his head. Slim walks over to August, bending down, lifting him up by his hair. He then lifts him up, spinning him around, and dropping him down with a sidewalk slam.
Slim looks down at August then over at Fox. Fox holds out his thumb and points it downward. Slim nods, and then, rather than trying for a pinfall, he lifts August up, and drags him over to the corner. He lifts him up and places him on the top rope. He climbs to the middle rope, and then starts to lift August up, but in midlift, August drives an elbow into Slim’s head. Slim is rocked. August drives another elbow and another elbow and Slim is staggered on the turnbuckle.
August then drives another and another, and Slim almost falls, but August doesn’t let him. August grabs him, and nails him with a downward right hand. Slim once again almost falls, but August doesn’t let him. He has ahold of Slim’s head, but then Slim drives his head straight into August’s gut. August winces, and then Slim grabs him, but as he does, August flips over Slim, off the top rope. He lands on his feet behind Slim, and then reaches backwards, grabbing him. Slim has nothing to grab on to, as August brings him over, powerbombing him hard onto the mat.
Slim is laid out, and August covers, hooking the leg, and Empires is there to give a three count. August is the winner.
The crowd cheers as August gets back to his feet, holding his arms, but then the crowd gets quiet, as Kevin Fox climbs into the ring. He is clapping for August, not upset that his own Slim Coakley lost. He reaches in for the piece of paper again, and August extends his hand for it. The crowd doesn’t know what is going on, and quite frankly, neither do I. There’s no way that August would sign with this guy.
August looks at the contract and nods his head toward Fox, who smiles, reaching into his pocket again and handing August a pen. August smiles in Fox’s direction, and then looks around, like he can’t sign it anywhere. Fox holds up his hand, and then tells Slim to get to his feet. Slim slowly does so, still staggered from the brunt of that powerbomb. Fox tells him to turn around, and Fox tells August to sign on his back.
August points out how sweaty Slim is, so Fox takes off his jacket and lays it on Slim’s back. August smiles, and then places the contract on Slim’s back. Fox smiles and says something to the crowd, but when he turns back to the signing, he walks straight into a huge right hand from August.
The crowd goes wild as Fox is knocked on his ass. Slim starts to turn around, but August grabs the coat, wraps it over his head, and then pulls on it, sending Slim straight out of the ring. Slim crashes to the floor, as August turns back to Fox, who is laid out on the mat. August stands over him and rips up the contract, before leaving the ring.
I said there was no way of August signing the contract and I was right. August beat Slim and took down Fox, but with Fox Industries just getting their start here in Peach State, I have a bad feeling that this is far from over between the two sides.
