INSIDE THE VAULT!!!Tonight, we are looking at another classic match from our World Champion....SETH DRAKIN!!!!
This is from...The King of WrestleCrap 2010. In a rather unique I Quit Match. This is between two of the greatest of all time.
Tim Hoss - Well fans, what we just saw was truly shocking, but now, the show must continue.
Jesse King - Up next, the fate of the Hardcore Championship hangs in the balance. It’s Seth Drakin V. Jonathan Michaels!
I Quit Match for the Fate of the Hardcore Championship: Seth Drakin V. Jonathan Michaels
Special Referee: The Boiler Room Brawler
Gorilla Tim Hoss: I've been waiting all day for this one, King.
Jesse King: Me too! I can't wait to see the return of the Championship of Honor!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Well, that has yet to be decided, Jesse, but tonight our longest reigning Hardcore Champion, Jonathan Michaels, faces off against our CEO, Seth Drakin, for the fate of the Hardcore Championship match.
Jesse King: Not only that, but it's an "I Quit" match, TH!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: That's right, Jesse; All of this is courtesy of our current Hardcore Champion, the Boiler Room Brawler.
Jesse King: And he's even going to Special Guest Referee the match, Gorilla. That's why I like the guy - he has the kinds of ideas that will take him to the top.
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Well he certainly is doing well for himself now, King but let's turn our attention to the match.
"You Asked For It" by Mercyful Fate hits the speakers.
Michael Muffer: Now entering the ring: our World Wrestlecrap Federation Hardcore Champion; and our Special Guest Referee: The Boiler... Room... Brawler!
*BRB gets a mixed reaction with a noticeable smark pop as he heads to the ring.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: The Boiler Room Brawler. He is our Hardcore champion. He told Seth Drakin that he would hand it over, and he didn't!
Jesse King: Well he had gold over his shoulder, TH! He finally had something to show for his efforts. Having a championship can change your perspective, you should remember that.
Gorilla Tim Hoss: You have a point there King, but a man should keep to his word.
Jesse King: Well he's promised that if Drakin wins, he hands it over in exchange for a shot at the Championship of Honor, so doesn't that fix things?
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Will Drakin be fooled again?
*The arena goes black and fills with smoke.*
*DOA*
*Jonathan Michaels comes out to a large pop.*
Michael Muffer: Now entering the ring, hailing from Los Angeles, California, weighing in at 240lbs: Jonathan... Michaels!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: This is the man of the hour in my eyes Jesse! Jonathan Michaels has waged a one-man war against Drakin that lasted for many months-
Jesse King: But it finally came to an end with Boiler Room Brawler!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: And while the Boiler Room Brawler may hold that belt, Jonathan Michaels is facing off against our CEO, Seth Drakin, to preserve its existence and if he wins he gets his rematch.
Jesse King: Michaels is good, I'll give you and him that, but he isn't "big leagues" good. Drakin is going to mop the floor with him tonight, Gorilla!
*Unicron Medley*
*The crowd is already booing.*
Muffer: And the challenger; from Stafford, Virginia and weighing in at 265 lbs; our CEO, Seth! Drakin!
*Drakin emerges from the back with a grimace on his face and his eyes staring at both BRB and more especially at Jonathan Michaels.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Seth Drakin is stepping back into the ring tonight, King.
Jesse King: As the saying goes, "If you want something done right then you have to do it yourself!"
Gorilla Tim Hoss: And we'll see if Drakin can do it right himself.
Jesse King: His skills in the ring have this in the bag, Gorilla!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: But he has two disadvantages here: one is that weapons are allowed in this match and two, the Boiler Room Brawler could, at any moment, screw Drakin over.
Jesse King: BRB doesn't like either contestant, TH. I'm willing to bet that he'll call it down the middle better than our normal referees!
*Drakin, Michaels, and BRB converge in the center of the ring. BRB explains the rules of the match and both contestants nod.
He tells them to start.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: And here we go, King.
*Drakin locks arms with Michaels while BRB gets a microphone.
Drakin slaps Michaels in the face and backs up.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: What disrespect from our CEO!
*Michaels runs at Drakin for a spear but Drakin catches him and uses the momentum for a DDT.*
Jesse King: Nice catch by Drakin!
*Drakin kicks Michaels in the stomach as Michaels rolls over. Michaels rolls out of the ring.*
Jesse King: He's already resorting to weapons, Gorilla, I knew that it wouldn't take long!
*Michaels backs up to the ramp as Drakin gestures for him to return to the ring.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: The fans are counting on Michaels tonight, King.
Jesse King: The fans don't always know what they really want. Six months from now they'll be cheering for the Champion of Honor.
*Michaels slides back into the ring as Drakin stomps on his back.
Michaels slips back out but hooks Drakin's leg and makes him fall over.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Nice feint by Michaels.
*Michaels drops an elbow to Drakin's leg, to which Drakin backs up afterwards, giving Michaels the time to slip back into the ring without being attacked.
Both men are now on their feet, and Drakin runs for Michaels, who arm drags him towards BRB, who backs up.
Drakin is back on his feet and he runs for Michaels again, who arm drags him a second time and locks in an armbar.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Michaels is taking it to Drakin!
*Drakin grabs the nearby ropes.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: No, he's out!
*Drakin and Michaels return to their feet. Drakin beckons to Michaels, to which Michaels slides under the ropes.
Drakin stamps his foot to the mat.*
Jesse King: Michaels is stalling, TH. He wants to get to using those weapons because he cannot possibly contend with Drakin.
*Michaels rummages underneath the ring while Drakin runs to the ropes and vault presses from above onto Michaels.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: And Drakin has had enough and is taking it to Michaels!
*Drakin rolls back into a standing position while Michaels turns over to gather his bearings.
Drakin does not relent and starts to stomp on Michaels, using the apron for leverage.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: I think that we are seeing a lot of pent-up rage coming out of Seth Drakin tonight, King.
*Drakin drags Michaels out from under the ring and gets blasted in the face with a fire extinguisher.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: And there's Michaels using his hardcore skills against Drakin!
*Michaels gets back up and sprays Drakin again as Drakin wanders over to a guard rail.
BRB is out of the ring following the two men.*
Jesse King: Yeah, BRB, you have to stay on top of this - either man could want to quit this match at any point!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: I think that we are just getting started, Jesse.
*Michaels pauses, waiting for Drakin to turn around, and with the fire extinguisher poised to bludgeon.*
Jesse King: Drakin look out!
*Michaels spears him with the fire extinguisher straight into the guard rail.*
Jesse King: Oh!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: That has got to hurt!
Jesse King: If Drakin didn't want the Hardcore Division dead before, he sure will now!
*Boiler Room Brawler puts the mic to Drakin.*
Boiler Room Brawler: So what'll it be, Drakin?
*Seth Drakin bats the mic away and gets up.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Drakin's only getting started I'm afraid.
Jesse King: I'm relieved.
*Michaels charges to Drakin, who drop toe holds Michaels, making him land face first into the fire extinguisher.*
Jesse King: Good move, by Seth Drakin!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: I'll give credit where credit is due, King. Drakin has turned one of Michaels's weapons against him.
*Drakin turns Michaels over and stomps on his arm.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Working on the arms I see.
*Drakin takes another step and stomps on Michaels's stomach. He takes another step and stomps on the leg. Then the other leg. Then the stomach again. Then the other arm. And then finally the face.*
Jesse King: He's spreading the hate all over Michaels's body, TH.
*Drakin kicks the fire extinguisher away.
Boiler Room Brawler puts the mic to Michaels's face.*
Boiler Room Brawler: Whaddaya say?
Jonathan Michaels: ... No!
*Drakin gives Michaels berth to get back up and beckons to him.*
Jesse King: Drakin is like a cat playing with a mouse by now.
*Michaels lunges at Drakin, but Drakin side steps him and slides back into the ring.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: And Drakin wants to take it back into the ring.
Jesse King: Of course he does. Wrestling outside of the ring goes against Drakin's general philosophy.
*Michaels slides into the ring as Boiler Room Brawler walks up the steps and enters as well.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: That's what this match is at its core, King. It is a battle of philosophies.
*Drakin locks up with Michaels and hooks his arm around his head and drags him over into a headlock takedown.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Drakin is wrestling a good game tonight, King.
Jesse King: You're damn right he is, Gorilla! Drakin is a true technical professional inside and outside of that ring.
*Michaels tries to escape Drakin's hold, but Drakin is locked in tight and Michaels is too far from the ropes to escape.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: I thought that Drakin doesn't like wrestling outside of the ring, King.
Jesse King: But that doesn't preclude one's ability to wrestle outside of it. I'm good at calculus Gorilla, but I hate using it.
*Drakin takes jabs at Michaels's head.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Really?
Jesse King: Yeah. I changed careers after a single semester of teaching it and pursued my current career.
*Michaels starts to punch Drakin in the back and tries to push his way out of Drakin's headlock.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Do you have anything to show for this?
Jesse King: How about the ring design? Ever notice how it is just perfectly designed for running around in it? The turnbuckles are perfectly measured for optimal high flying?
Gorilla Tim Hoss: I think I'm questioning my faith, King.
Jesse King: You're damn right you are.
*Drakin takes another jab at Michaels's head but Michaels uses that to just slip out and back up to the ropes.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Good thinking on Michaels's part.
*The two men get to their feet and Michaels charges at Drakin.*
Jesse King: Another spear?
*Michaels lands the spear as Drakin is turning around.
Both men tumble through the ropes to the outside.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Three time's the charge, King! Michaels is taking this outside.
*Michaels lays punches into Drakin's face but he quickly gets off of him and goes for the apron.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Michaels has to keep the offensive on Drakin - this could be his last advantage.
*Michaels finds a chair as BRB gets outside of the ring.
Drakin gets up in a slight daze as Michaels tosses the chair at Drakin, who catches it.*
Jesse King: Not so fast, Michaels!
*Michaels runs up and dropkicks Drakin, knocking the chair into his face and knocking him over the guardrail.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: And Michaels is taking it to the crowd! The audience is getting electric!
*Michaels stands up on the guardrail and poses for the crowd, which pops, and then he leg drops onto Drakin with the chair on top of him.*
Jesse King: Drakin has to get this match back into the ring, pronto!
*Michaels grabs the chair and starts to jab it into Drakin's legs.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: That will be difficult at best if he has broken legs.
*BRB steps over the guardrail as Michaels starts to lay into Drakin's back with the chair.
He sticks the mic to Drakin's face.*
Boiler Room Brawler: Givin' up?
Seth Drakin: ... Get that out of my face!
*Drakin bats the mic away again and stands up as Michaels charges at him with the chair. Drakin catches Michaels, powerslamming him into the top of the guardrail.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: By God, Jesse, Michaels could be out right there!
*Michaels is upside down. Drakin pulls a leg to make him face down with the ground.
He limps his way to the chair and chucks it over the guardrail.
Drakin locks in an STF on Michaels to which Boiler Room Brawler puts the mic to his face.*
Boiler Room Brawler: Give up, Michaels?
Jonathan Michaels: ... Hell... no!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: My god, King! These have to be two of the toughest men in all of the WWCF!
*Drakin releases the STF and stomps on Michaels but he backs up, hopping along the way.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Drakin's legs have taken some real punishment tonight, Jesse. He's probably going to have to try something else.
Jesse King: Michaels is already on the ground, Gorilla. Who needs to stand if Drakin can keep him down there?
*Michaels stands back up, but Drakin charges at him and clotheslines him over the guardrail and both men hit the floor.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Drakin is pressing his advantage tonight too but his legs, King. His legs are shot from all of that chair action earlier.
Jesse King: He ought to slide back into that ring and take a few minutes to recuperate them, Gorilla. They're probably not broken or sprained but just throbbing.
*Drakin limply returns to his feet and kicks Michaels in the stomach and Michaels rolls over to the guard rail.
Drakin keeps up and kicks him again, but he clutches his foot in pain again.*
Jesse King: Drakin's frustration might get the better of him tonight if he doesn't take care of his feet first, TH!
*Drakin grabs the chair again, unfolds it, and sits on it to give his feet some rest while Michaels tries to get back up.*
Boiler Room Brawler: Do you give up, Drakin?
Seth Drakin: No!
*BRB goes to Michaels.*
Boiler Room Brawler: You?
Jonathan Michaels: No!
Boiler Room Brawler: Then both of you get the hell up and keep going!
*The crowd pops as both contestants return to their feet.
Drakin gets up and folds up the chair.*
Jesse King: No... Drakin using a weapon?
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Desperate times call for desperate measures, Jesse.
*Drakin dangles it in front of Michaels, then chucks it to the ramp.*
Jesse King: Ha! He's just messing with Michaels now. And there I thought that Drakin would stoop to using weapons.
*Drakin kicks Michaels in the midsection, but Michaels catches his foot and shoves him backwards into the ring corner.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Michaels is back on the offense, King!
*Michaels Irish whips Drakin from the ring corner to the guardrail.*
Jesse King: And he's just whipping him around the place! Where's Drakin's technical know-how?
*Michaels grabs Drakin again and whips him towards the ramp. Drakin loses his footing, trips, and falls over.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Jonathan Michaels sure seems to have turned this one around really quickly, King.
Jesse King: But he's all beaten up, Gorilla. If Drakin can whip out one good move we'll back to Drakin dominating Michaels.
*Michaels stands over Drakin, picks him up and belly to back suplexes him to the ramp with a resounding clang of metal.
He grabs the folded chair and puts Drakin's foot in the middle and then gets up onto the guardrail.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: And Michaels is going for a high risk but he's a stuntman and this is his domain.
*Michaels moonsaults onto Drakin's leg, crushing it with the chair and then rolls over and curls up into a fetal position..*
Jesse King: Wow! But Michaels looks like he's in pain too. All of those kicks from Drakin sure have taken their toll with that high-risk moonsault, Gorilla!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: It may have paid off though; Drakin must be crippled from that!
*BRB sticks the mic in Drakin's face.*
Boiler Room Brawler: Is it over, Uncle Seth?
Seth Drakin: ... ... Never!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Impossible!
Jesse King: This is Drakin's last stand against the Hardcore Championship, Gorilla. He's going to continue as long as he is conscious.
*Michaels gets up and grabs Drakin by the leg and drags him to the ring.*
Jesse King: Michaels is taking this to the ring?
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Michaels represents the last stand for the Hardcore Championship, King. He's actually doing more for it tonight than the current champion.
*Michaels picks up Drakin and slides him back into the ring and then walks up the steps.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Maybe Michaels wants to actually face Drakin at his own game - show him that he has actual skill.
*Drakin gets up with the help of the ropes. He beckons to Michaels, who runs at Drakin and locks arms with him.
Drakin wins out and takes Michaels down to the mat.*
Jesse King: That's smart thinking by Seth Drakin there. If he cannot use his legs then he's going to have to stall until his legs feel better.
*Michaels punches Drakin in the back, making Drakin let go.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Michaels's work on Drakin's back seems to be taking its toll as well.
*Drakin and Michaels return to their feet and both men rest on the ropes, waiting for someone to attack.
Drakin, as before, beckons to Michaels.*
Jesse King: Drakin just can't take enough from Michaels to lose, TH.
*Michaels approaches Drakin, who suddenly lunges for Michaels, kicking him in the gut, making him bend over.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Uh-oh, here it comes!
*Seth Drakin uses The Tale's End on Michaels.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: No!
Jesse King: Yes!
*Seth Drakin rolls Michaels over and heads for the ropes as BRB heads over to Michaels and sticks the mic in his face.*
Boiler Room Brawler: Michaels, what do you say?
Jonathan Michaels: ... ... ...
Boiler Room Brawler: Do you quit?
Jonathan Michaels: ... ... Nnn...
Boiler Room Brawler: Ooh, not good, Michaels-
Jonathan Michaels: Drakin!... You... Coulda pinned me there... But you cannot make me quit!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Yes!
Jesse King: No!
*Drakin seems to be pulling hairs and looks around to assess the situation when he sees it: Boiler Room Brawler's trusty pipe wrench, and he heads for it.*
Jesse King: Drakin, you can't do it! You were doing so well without weapons!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: But he's using them agains the longest reigning Hardcore Champion in our company's history, King. Michaels is one tough son of a bitch!
*Drakin grabs it and looks at BRB, who nods and gives him berth to use it on Michaels, even kinda smiling.
Michaels starts to recover, leaning against the ropes.
Drakin takes an upward swing at Michaels but he misses, the pipe wrench bouncing off of the rope and he loses his balance and falls over.
Michaels sees his opportunity and locks in The Key Grip and the crowd goes wild as Drakin wildly flails about.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: The Key Grip, Jesse! The Key Grip!
Jesse King: No!
*Drakin continues flailing about as Jonathan twists Drakin's ankle even harder and BRB sticks his mic to Drakin.*
Boiler Room Brawler: Whaddaya say, Drakin?
Seth Drakin: Yes! I quit! I quit! Goddamn you I quit!
*Boiler Room Brawler calls the bell.*
Gorilla Tim Hoss: By God, King! Michaels did it! He has saved the Hardcore Championship!
Jesse King: But... but...
*DOA*
*BRB props up Jonathan Michaels.*
Michael Muffer: Here is your winner: Jonathan... Michaels!
Gorilla Tim Hoss: Amazing match, King! Jonathan Michaels has finally, definitively defended the Hardcore Championship in the World Wrestlecrap Federation!
Jesse King: Drakin gave it his all, Gorilla, but if he is a man of his word then he will leave it alone for good. But none of this means that Michaels will actually regain the Hardcore Championship from Boiler Room Brawler.
Gorilla Tim Hoss: That we'll have to see, Jesse.

Also as a side note....THIS was the match that convinced me to join WWCF/FAWA in the first place. Just saying.
