It's time once again for!!!
INSIDE THE VAULT!!!
With the Smokin Vokoun vs Gus Richlin feud starting to heat up. Lets look back at on of Gus Richlin's greatest moments....
From only a year ago from November 8th, 2012...AT NIGHT OF THE WRESTLING ZOMBIES!!!!
SHAELIN'S FREEDOM VERSUS CAREER
GUS RICHLEN VERSUS SETH DRAKIN
MM: The following contest is a Career Threatening Sixty Minute Anything Goes, Falls Count Anywhere, Iron Man Match! If Seth Drakin loses, he must return Shaelin Marie O'Hara to Gus Richlen unharmed, but if Gus Richlen loses, he must leave FAWA forever!
*The lights dim quite a bit, then "Behind Those Eyes" by 3 Doors Down starts.
As it begins, about 20-30 men in medieval or Dark Ages armor walk out, swords drawn. Two others walk ahead carrying standards: on one, there is a crest featuring a wolf, and on the other, a crest featuring a hawk:*
You said I got something to say
But then you got that look in your eye
I've been down the wrong road tonight
And I swear I'd never go there again
I've seen this face once before
And I don't think I can do this again
*The soldiers take their places along the ramp, holding their swords in front of them, pointing them towards the sky:*
And there's something I can see
There's something different in the way you smile
Behind those eyes you hide
And there's nothing I can say
That's ever gonna make you change your mind
Behind those eyes you hide
Behind those eyes you hide....
*The standard bearers stand closest to the ring as the song ends and the lights go dark.
When the lights come back up....*
*Linkin Park is on a platform above the ramp, a spotlight focusing just a small amount of light on Chester Bennington:*
The cycle repeated
As explosions broke in the sky
All that I needed
Was the one thing I couldn't find
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
*Flames are rising from behind the platform and atop the FAWAtron as the song continues:*
The colors conflicted
As the flames climbed into the clouds
I wanted to fix this
But couldn't stop from tearing it down
And you were there at the turn
Caught in the burning glow
And I was there at the turn
Waiting to let you know
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
*The light switches to Mike Shinoda:*
You told me yes
You held me high
And I believed when you told that lie
I played soldier, you played king
And struck me down when I kissed that ring
You lost that right to hold that crown
I built you up but you let me down
So when you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn
*The lights are out before Shinoda finishes, and as Bennington takes over, the stage splits open below the platform, revealing nothing but a roaring group of flames. A figure is silhouetted by the flames, a figure with a cloak, a large sword, and skeletal wings.
And the fans nearly drown out the band as they realize who that is:*
And you were there at the turn
Waiting to let me know
*And as the rest of the song kicks in, Gus Richlen walks to the ring. His face is obscured by a mask that looks like a cross between Kane's larger 2011 return mask and some ancient Norse helmet. His cloak is very much like Undertaker's WM28 one, with the addition of large skeletal metal wings. His black jeans are pulled over the top of pitch black military boots, and in his right hand he carries a large sword. Nothing fancy about it, just a sword of the strongest iron.*
We're building it up
To break it back down
We're building it up
To burn it down
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
*As he walks to the ring, the soldiers kneel in salute, and as he passes, they leave the ramp and head to the back.*
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
When you fall, I'll take my turn
And fan the flames
As your blazes burn
We can't wait
To burn it to the ground
*As the song ends, Richlen climbs over the top rope and stands in the center of the ring. And as the final notes play, he reaches up and removes his mask, revealing that his face is entirely painted emerald. There are streaks, however, where the tears have fallen. It's clear that he knows what the stakes are.
And then "Hero" by Pop Evil hits, and a smug Seth Drakin walks to the ring, dragging Shaelin Marie O'Hara (still wearing the shock collar) behind him. Richlen is not taking his eyes off the man he has called the "last dragon." Drakin shoves Shaelin in the ring before sliding in himself, staying between the two lovers, and Muffer gets to the introductions:*
MM: Introducing first, weighing in at 265-
*And the boos rain down thick and fast.*
MM: -pounds, Seth Drakin!
And his opponent-
*And the boos switch to cheers, and it's just as deafening.*
MM: -from Peshtigo, Wisconsin, weighing in at 181 pounds, "The Darkness" Gus Richlen!
TH: It is now do or die for Richlen. He HAS to defeat Seth Drakin or not only is his career done, not only does he loses his guranteed title shot, he'll never get to see his girlfriend Shaelin Marie O'Hara ever again. Richlen knows what's at stake and what he needs to do.
JK: What you need to do is sit back and enjoy watching Seth Drakin completely destroy Richlen! Tonight, you are going to see Gus Richlen's worthless career finally die!
*A cage gets lowered from the rafters and Drakin forces Shaelin inside before locking it and signaling for it to be raised. Richlen barely removes his glare from him as she gets hoisted thrity feet in the air.
John Creed calls for the bell, and the MOMENT it sounds Richlen is right on Drakin, closed fist shots raining down. Creed doesn't do anything to stop him either, resulting in about a minute or so of punching. Richlen finally backs off at 58:22, sliding out of the ring and going right to the bell pit and taking the chair from Michael Muffer. A cold glare still in his eyes, he heads back for the ring, but Drakin baseball slides it out of his hands before he can slide in.
Only Drakin is partway out of the ring, and Richlen pulls him out and starts the punches again! It only lasts a few seconds before Richlen whips him towards the ringpost, but Drakin puts on the brakes and reverses it, only for Richlen to grab the post and swing away to avoid it. Drakin runs after him, but Richlen slides in the ring, and as Drakin follows, the boots get put down on him! Richlen then hits the ropes, but Drakin lays him out with a clothesline!
1!
Richlen kicks out at 56:57!
Drakin gets out of the ring and grabs the chair and tosses it in the ring, then starts pulling more stuff from under the ring including a couple of tables. He tosses a Singapore cane in and re-enters, but before he can use it, Richlen grabs it and starts swatting away at him! Drakin rolls out of the ring at 56:01, but Richlen follows him, only for Seth to grab a chair and ram it into his ribs! Drakin then slams the chair down repeatedly on Richlen's back, and it doesn't stop until 54:48! Afterwards, he goes for the cover!
1!
2!
Richlen kicks out again!
Drakin then goes back out and sets up a table at ringside, then goes back in and drags Richlen to the ropes and pulls him up, planning to suplex him over the top rope to the table, but Richlen counters it into a snap suplex of his own!
1!
Drakin kicks out easily, but Richlen slides out and grabs a chain and slips back in, only for Drakin to leg drop him in the back! Richlen releases his hold on the chain, and it allows Drakin to grab it and start whipping him with it! Richlen is fortunately close enough to the ropes to pull himself out of harms way at 52:12, but Drakin follows him, pulls him up, and slams his head on the Bulgarian announce table!
Drakin follows that up by Irish whipping him into the barricade! Richlen goes down hard, and Drakin starts dragging him towards one of the tables, clubbing his back on the way there before rolling him on top of it. He then goes to the top rope and jumps, crashing through Richlen and the table with a knee drop!*
TH: Drakin decided to go high risk early, knowing what he needs to-
*But when Drakin starts to get up, his right leg gives out under him!*
TH: But I think he may have hurt that knee on the knee drop, and this is not good for him this early to be hurt!
*Richlen is out cold, however, and Drakin stumbles into the cover!

DRAKIN 1, RICHLEN 0 AT 50:55
Drakin has a hard time getting to his feet, but he manages to get up and pick Richlen up and throw him in the ring. He waits a while, trying to recover, then slides in, getting the chain on the way in. Richlen is draped over the second rope, and Drakin puts him in the Inquisition, using the chain and the rope for extra prerssure! Richlen tries to fight but can do nothing and passes out!
DRAKIN 2, RICHLEN 0 AT 49:01
The camera catches a stunned look on Shaelin's face high above the ring.*
TH: And now in this no holds barred format, Drakin has Richlen in a very distressing situation, two decisions down, but there is plenty of time left for "The Darkness" to catch up!
JK: No there isn't! Drakin has the most insurmountable lead in history, and it's only a matter of minutes before we never have to see Richlen again!
*Drakin has to crawl to the other side of the ring to give his knee a break as Richlen lies unresponsive on the other side. It is not until 47:44 before Drakin starts to move back towards Richlen, who is starting to finally stir. The former FAWA World Champion tries to pull Richlen up, but Richlen suddenly clips the knee out from under him, draping him on the second rope! Richlen looks up to the cage, blows a kiss to Shaelin, then runs the ropes and goes over the top rope, leg dropping Drakin on the second rope! Drakin starts rolling around holding his throat, and Richlen springboards over and hits an elbow drop!
1!
2!
Drakin kicks out, but Richlen waits for him to pull up to his feet before clipping the leg out again! Drakin rolls over, clutching his knee, but Richlen pulls the leg away and puts him in a modified kneebar, extending the leg as straight as it can go while preventing Drakin from standing with the left one! Drakin is on his stomach and tries to use his arms to pull himself to the ropes but Richlen doesn't budge and Drakin has no choice but to tap!
DRAKIN 2, RICHLEN 1 AT 46:22
Richlen lets go of the hold a few seconds later, trying to do as much damage as he can, then slips out of the ring and starts digging. After a while, he comes up with nothing, instead re-entering the ring. Drakin has gotten back to his feet and he's limping very badly now.
Richlen starts throwing punches, almost all closed fist, and Drakin is reeling, so Richlen rebounds off the ropes, only for Drakin to lunge and clothesline him!
1!
2!
Richlen kicks out, so Drakin starts to pick him up, but Richlen catches him and rolls him into a small package!
1!
2!
Drakin breaks out, but Richlen still has a hold on the right leg and he starts to try to turn him into the modified kneebar again, but Drakin twists through, sending Richlen nearly to the ropes. Richlen puts on the brakes, spots Drakin on all fours trying to get up, and runs screaming and nails the Schwinn Smash for the first time in months!
1!
2!
Drakin kicks out at 43:58!
Richlen starts to pull Drakin up, but Drakin suddenly catches him in a fisherman's position, then spots the chair and tries to lift him for a fisherman's suplex on the chair! Richlen blocks it, however, breaks loose, flips Drakin overhead, hooks the arms, AND DRIVES HIM ONTO THE CHAIR WITH A FLIPPING CRUCIFIX BRAINBUSTER!!!!
1!
2!
3!
DRAKIN 2, RICHLEN 2 AT 43:11*
TH: And just like that, we are all tied up!!
JK: Give it a few seconds, and Drakin will have his insurmountable lead back again!
*Richlen goes out of the ring and starts digging again, tossing in several more steel chairs and another table before re-entering. Drakin has managed to get to his feet again, and Richlen has a chair in hand and he swings, but Drakin ducks and grabs a chair of his own and low blows Richlen with the chair! Richlen drops the chair in his own hand and Drakin rolls him up!
1!
2!
DRAKIN GRABS THE ROPES FOR LEVERAGE!
3!
DRAKIN 3, RICHLEN 2 AT 42:17
Drakin slides out of the ring as well. He still is having serious trouble with the right knee, but he still manages to reach under the ring AND PULL OUT A BARBED WIRE COVERED LADDER!
Drakin shoves the ladder in the ring, then slides in right afterwards RICHLEN SPEARS HIM ON TOP OF THE LADDER!
1!
2!
3!
DRAKIN 3, RICHLEN 3 AT 41:30
Richlen sets a table up near One corner, then starts beating up on Drakin again before dragging him onto the table. He climbs to the top rope, then springboards on the corner AND DRAKIN ROLLS OFF THE TABLE AND RICHLEN'S CORCKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS HITS EMPTY TABLE!!!!
Drakin covers!
1!
2!
3!
DRAKIN 4, RICHLEN 3 AT 40:00
Drakin has a glare in his eye as he sets the barbed wire ladder in the corner, then he pulls Richlen up and Irish whips him into the ladder!
Richlen stumbles out a bloody mess and Drakin kicks him in the gut, then tries to set up for the Tale's End, but he's having a hard time trying to follow through with the bad knee, and it gives Richlen enough time to suddenly stand up GORY BOMB TO DRAKIN ON THE STEEL CHAIR!!!
1!
2!
3!
DRAKIN 4, RICHLEN 4 AT 38:50
Richlen, however, is badly bloodied, the blood mixing with the face paint as the camera catches a look of concern on the face of the suspended Shaelin. Richlen crawls out of the ring and grabs the cooler containing his world title contract and his half of the FAWA World Tag Team Championships, sliding back in the ring. Drakin grabs the belt before Richlen can get in the ring and swings, but Richlen throws him with a running back body drop!
1!
2!
Drakin kicks out, but Richlen pulls him up, only for Drakin to shove him back! Richlen charges forward, but Drakin catches him with a powerslam!
1!
2!
Now Richlen kicks out at 35:49, and his face has become a crimson mask as there is not a speck of emerald green to be seen.*
TH: And while it is not a good thing for Drakin to have a bad knee this early in the match, it is also a bad thing for Richlen to be losing this much blood with more than half the match to go!
*Richlen starts to get to his feet, but Drakin DDTs him on the belt!
1!
2!
3!
DRAKIN 5, RICHLEN 4 AT 34:56
Drakin wastes no time pulling Richlen up and whipping him to the ropes, then catching him with a sleeper hold on the rebound! Richlen looks like he's starting to fade as he goes down to one knee, and Creed starts to check the arm.
He raises the arm once....
It goes down.
He raises the arm again....
It drops again.
Creed checks one more time....
It goes- NO! Richlen keeps the arm up and starts to get to his feet DRAKIN TRANSITIONS INTO A SUPLEX ON THE TITLE!
1!
2!
Richlen kicks out at 32:21!
A frustrated Drakin rolls out of the ring and pulls a strand of barbed wire out from underneath the ring, but before he can use it, Richlen is unsteadily on his feet, but not so unsteady that he can't spear Drakin! The wire falls out of Drakin's hands as Richlen falls out of the ring.
Drakin is still lying in the ring trying to recover from the spear as Richlen tries to get a breather of his own, using the ring apron to try to both clear some of the blood from his eyes and stop the bleeding that's still going on. This takes the match to the halfway point.
Richlen finally rolls back in the ring and gets up, having failed to do much about the bleeding DRAKIN NAILS HIM WITH THE BELT!!!!
1!
2!
3!
DRAKIN 6, RICHLEN 4 AT 29:17
Drakin, however, seems to have tweaked his knee again on the way forward as he's backing away and cluthcing his knee in pain. He starts to pull himself up with the ropes, then notices Richlen is starting to come to as well. He takes several badly limping steps forward, but Richlen lunges and clotheslines him!
1!
2!
Drakin kicks out, so Richlen starts to pull him up again, but Drakin suddenly catches him again in a sleeper hold! Richlen tries to get free again, but Drakin soon wears him down, and this time, when Creed lifts Richlen's arm a third time, it drops!
DRAKIN 7, RICHLEN 4 AT 27:33 *
TH: Unfortunately, it is at this point that even I have to wonder if Richlen can come back from this large of a defecit!
JK: He won't, and that's the great thing! You are witnessing the death of Gus Richlen's career, and I have waited far too long for this!
*Drakin lets Richlen go and starts strutting away and taunting the crowd and Shaelin as he soaks in the boos. Richlen simply is not moving right now.
A shot of the cage shows Shaelin crying as she realizes that things are spiraling out of control.
Drakin doesn't stop strutting, bad leg notwithstanding, until 25:00, when he sees Richlen start to slowly stir. He cockily walks over and starts to pick him up RICHLEN CATCHES HIM IN A SMALL PACKAGE!
1!
2!
Drakin kicks out!
Both men stumble to their feet and Drakin stumbles forward CARNOSEL!!!
1!
2!
Drakin kicks out again!
Richlen starts to get up DRAKIN GRABS THE SINGAPORE CANE AND LOW BLOWS HIM!
Drakin uses the cane to support himself as he tries to get to his feet at 23:18. He then sets the chair in the middle of the ring, then pulls Richlen up and Oklahoma slams him on it!
1!
2!
Richlen kicks out!
Drakin then starts to get to his feet again, wincing visibly as he landed hard on his injured knee. Then he rolls Richlen over and slides the chair under his head!
The crowd is in a shocked silence as Drakin gets to his feet, a sick smile on his face, and he pulls Richlen's head up and tries to stomp down for the I4I on the chair, but his leg gives out and he does more of a shin/knee drop on Richlen instead!*
TH: And perhaps that was indeed the death knell for the career of Gus Richlen!
JK: Might as well stop the clock and the match! It's all over! YES! THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!!
*It seems as though Shaelin's tears are raining down on the ring as a smiling Drakin rolls Richlen over!
1!
2!
RICHLEN KICKS OUT AT 21:39!!!!*
TH: NO!!!! NO!!!! NO!!!! IT'S NOT OVER!!!! DRAKIN MUST NOT HAVE GOTTEN ALL OF THE MOVE!!!!
JK: DAMN IT, CREED'S TRYING TO SCREW DRAKIN OVER BY COUNTING SLOW! DO A NORMAL COUNT, REF!
*Drakin is in absolute shock as the kickout sends the crowd to their feet! Nevertheless, he tries another cover, hooking the near leg!
1!
2!
RICHLEN KICKS OUT AGAIN!
Drakin, frustrated, hooks BOTH legs!
1!
2!
RICHLEN GETS THE SHOULDER UP!
Drakin is pissed now and goes for a jackknife cover!
1!
2!
RICHLEN GETS THE SHOULDER UP AGAIN!!!!
Drakin is pounding the canvas and screaming at Creed, who keeps saying that it was only a two-count. Drakin looks at the clock, which reads 20:57, and tries to calm himself down as Richlen starts to slowly pull himself up.
Drakin waits for Richlen to get to his feet before grabbing him and putting him in abdominal stretch! Richlen is stuck in the middle of the ring but he refuses to give up, and he slowly manages to not only break the hold but also counter it into a Samoan drop!
1!
2!
Drakin gets the shoulder up at 18:43!
Richlen takes a few seconds to catch his breath, then starts to pull Drakin up, but Drakin shoves him away as soon as he gets to his feet RICHLEN REACHES DOWN WITH ONE HAND, GRABS A STEEL CHAIR, SWINGS, AND NAILS DRAKIN!!!!
Drakin barely managed to get his hands up in time but he doesn't block all of it, and as he staggers, Richlen low blows him with the chair, then rapidly nails him in the gut before taking a HUGE swing upwards, nearly knocking Drakin head over heels and off his feet!*
TH: BAH GAWD, THAT WAS A SWING THAT PABLO SANDOVAL WOULD BE ENVIOUS OF!!!!
*Drakin is spun backwards from the impact, and Richlen drops the chair, hokks Drakin's arms, flips him overhead, AND DELIVERS THE MEWTWO DRIVER ON THE CHAIR!!!!
1!
2!
3!
DRAKIN 7, RICHLEN 5 AT 16:44
Richlen runs out of the ring as fast as he can, then reaches under and pulls out...
THE LOADED PINK ELEPHANT!!!!
He lifts Shaelin's signature weapon towards the cage and the teary-eyed girl blows a kiss towards it as Richlen re-enters the ring. Drakin is slowly starting to stir and Richlen has it lifted overhead, but then he spots the barbed wire in one corner! He goes over and wraps the elephant in the wire then walks back to where Drakin is on all fours, trying to get on his right leg, when Richlen suddenly stops and opens up the cooler AND PULLS OUT A LONG HANDLED LIGHTER AND LIGHTS THE ELEPHANT ON FIRE?!*
TH: NOW, COME ON, GUS, I KNOW YOU HATE THE MAN, BUT YA GOTTA HAVE SOME SORT OF HUMANITY STILL LEFT IN YOU! DON'T!
*However, Drakin gets to his feet AND RICHLEN BLASTS HIM IN THE HEAD WITH THE BURNING BARBED WIRE LOADED ELEPHANT!!!! Drakin goes down on his knees screaming and bloodied, and Richlen's response is to wrap the chain around the object AND NAIL HIM AGAIN!!!!
1!

DRAKIN 7, RICHLEN 6 AT 14:37
Richlen picks Seth up and Irish whips him to the ropes a few seconds later, but Drakin tries to catch him in a sleeper hold again, only for Richlen to spin out and nail a reverse STO on the cooler!

2!
Drakin gets the shoulder up at 13:54!
Richlen starts to pull Drakin up again, but Drakin arm drags him away! He then grabs the barbed wire ladder and charges as fast as he can, but Richlen clips the knee out and Drakin lands on the ladder!
1!
2!
Drakin kicks out again, so Richlen starts to pick him up again, but Drakin grabs the chair and nails him in the gut with it! Richlen goes down, and Drakin uses the chair to steady himself as he gets to his feet. He starts to pick Richlen up again, but Richlen suddenly catches him with the Shaelin Street Cutter! Drakin spins around stunned, and Richlen swiftly gets him in the cobra clutch position before HITTING THE VIXEN'S VENOM!!!!

DRAKIN 7, RICHLEN 7 AT 12:02*
TH: AND JUST LIKE THAT, AT LONG LAST WE ARE TIED UP AGAIN! GUS RICHLEN HAS LIFE IN THIS MATCH YET!!!!
JK: This is ridculous! He needs to just quit NOW!
*Richlen is trying to catch his breath as Shaelin starts shaking the cage, trying to will her lover back into the match. It's not until 10:55 before Richlen is on his feet again, and he takes Drakin and slides him out of the ring.
Richlen then tears up BOTH announce tables before pulling Drakin up by the head, grabbing him by the throat, AND CHOKESLAMMING HIM THROUGH THE REGULAR ANNOUNCE TABLE!!!!
This shuts Hoss and King down on commentary momentarily as Richlen, in a bit of an unusual move, doesn't cover Drakin. Instead, he drags him over to the Bulgarian table and throws him on top, beating him down repeatedly!
With Drakin down, Richlen reaches under the ring and pulls out a 16 ft. high ladder and climbs to the very top!*
TH: COME ON, RICHLEN, YOU NEED TO THINK THIS THROUGH! THIS IS YOUR CAREER WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE!!!!
*Richlen looks down at the still unmoving Drakin, THEN MOONSAULTS OFF THE TOP THROUGH DRAKIN AND THE TABLE!!!!
Richlen starts rolling on the ground, clutching his ribs in pain for a while, then rolls into a cover!
1!

3!
RICHLEN 8, DRAKIN 7 AT 9:01*
TH: I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!! GUS RICHLEN WAS DOWN BY THREE FALLS, AND NOW HE HAS THE LEAD!!!!
*Richlen rolls away and takes
a moment to recover before pulling Drakin out of the wreckage and whipping him towards the barricade at 8:39, but Drakin puts on the brakes and pulls the shock collar remote out of the ring!
He starts screaming at Richlen to either lie down or be forced to watch Shaelin get elctrocuted. Richlen slowly looks up at Shaelin, who is screaming for him to hold on, then at the clock, which in the interval has dropped to 7:55, THEN DOES A DX CHOP TOWARDS DRAKIN!
Drakin, enraged, cranks the remote all the way up, but there is silence from the cage. He looks up and sees Shaelin still trying to will Richlen to victory. In bewilderment, Drakin looks back at Richlen, who has a sick grin on his face as he pulls the batteries out of his pocket and tosses them one by one to the crowd!
Richlen then charges, but Drakin nails him in the ribs with the remote repeatedly! Richlen crumples, and Drakin uses the barricade and the ring to steady himself and finally deliver the Tale's End!
1!
2!

DRAKIN 8, RICHLEN 8 AT 7:02
Drakin rolls into the ring for a breather as Richlen takes a while to finally get up. It's 6:17 by the time Richlen finaly slides in the ring and Drakin quickly gets him in a headlock! The former FAWA World Champion has Richlen grounded, but Richlen finally manages to power to his feet and back suplex him at 5:02!
Richlen now knows he's got to pick up the pace, so he rebounds off the ropes, but Drakin rolls out of the way off an attempted senton! He then rolls out of the ring, but Richlen gets back up and chases him around the ring at least twice before Drakin slides back in! Richlen tries to follow but Drakin starts stomping away at him before pulling him the rest of the way back in and going for the cover!
1!
2!
RICHLEN KICKS OUT AT 4:01!
FOUR MINUTES LEFT!
Drakin reaches down to pull him up, but Richlen headscissors him out of the ring! Thus begins another long breather that suddenly drains the clock to THREE MINUTES LEFT by the time Drakin crawls back in and starts getting pummeled!
Drakin gets whipped to the ropes, where he tries to catch Richlen with a clothesline, but Richlen ducks under and hits the ropes and spearing Drakin on the rebound!

DRAKIN KICKS OUT AT 2:22!

Richlen then waits for Drakin to get up, arm raised in the air for a chokeslam, and as soon as Drakin is on his feet Richlen grabs him by the throat, but Drakin kicks him in the midsection! Drakin tries to get on board for another Tale's End, but Richlen shoves him off! He then waits for Drakin to get up, then whips him to the ropes, but Drakin rebounds and clotheslines him!

RICHLEN CRANKS HARDER, BUT DRAKIN'S HOLDING ON!!!!
THREE!
TWO!
ONE!
THE BUZZER AND BELL SOUND!
Drakin, smiling, starts tapping to mock Richlen's frustration!
Richlen lets go and takes a few steps back, and he doesn't notice Jake Kwan run to the ring and start saying something to Michael Muffer!*
MM: Ladies and gentlemen, by order of the CEO of FAWA Jeremy Dupoe, this match MUST HAVE A WINNER! THEREFORE, THE MATCH WILL CONTINUE UNDER SUDDEN DEATH RULES!
*Drakin's smile suddenly vanishes and goes to Richlen's face as "The Darkness" runs at him!
Drakin rolls out of the ring and goes as fast as he can up the ramp, Richlen in pursuit! Drakin is slowed by the bad right leg and Richlen catches up, BUT DRAKIN SUDDENLY IRISH WHIPS HIM THROUGH THE LOWER SCREEN ON THE SET!!!!
Sparks fly on impact and Drakin waits a few moments before pulling Richlen out and covering him!
1!
2!
RICHLEN KICKS OUT!!!!
Drakin is in shock, but he pulls Richlen up RICHLEN GRABS DRAKIN BY THE THROAT AND CHOKESLAMS HIM INTO ANOTHER LOWER SCREEN!!!!
Richlen doesn't even bother trying to pull Drakin out, but instead runs as fast as he can to the ring and grabs A BARBED WIRE WRAPPED ACOUSTIC GUITAR FROM UNDER THE RING AND SETS IT ON FIRE!!!!*
TH: COME ON! ENOUGH BREAKABLE OBJECTS, ENOUGH THINGS COVERED IN BARBED WIRE, AND ENOUGH BURNING THINGS ALREADY!!!!
*Richlen walks to the ramp, where Drakin has crawled out of the screen. He sees the man with the guitar, stumbles to his feet, AND BEGINS CLIMBING THE FAWATRON! Richlen runs and swings, but Drakin is too high and Richlen smashes the guitar on steel BEFORE CLIMBING AFTER HIM!!!!
They end up about twenty feet or so above the ramp and Richlen pursues Drakin to midway along the 'tron when Drakin suddenly kicks him downstairs! He sets Richlen up for a powerbomb RICHLEN LOW BLOWS HIM!
Drakin crumples and starts crawling backwards, but Richlen walks towards him, grabbing the boom mic:*
GAME...
OVER.
*Drakin starts pleading with Richlen, but Richlen blows a kiss towards Shaelin, runs forward, hoists Drakin up, AND THEY BOTH GO OFF THE 'TRON AS RICHLEN DELIVERS A MODIFIED FINAL JUDGMENT FROM THE 'TRON, SENDING THEM BOTH INTO THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT BELOW!!!! PART OF THE SUPPORTS COLLAPSE AROUND THEM!!!!
They are motionless for a few moments, but Richlen rolls over and finally covers!!!!

MM: HERE IS YOUR WINNER, "THE DARKNESS" GUS RICHLEN!!!!
IT'S OVER!!!! IT'S OVER!!!! GUS RICHLEN HAS DONE IT!!!! THE CAREER OF GUS RICHLEN WILL CONTINUE, AND HE'S GETTING THE LOVE OF HIS LIFE BACK!!!!
JK: THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!!!! THIS IS THE WORST MOMENT IN THE HISTORY OF THIS COMPANY!!!!
*Victorious, Richlen still lies motionless after the bell. After a few moments, he start to get up, using the supports to pull himself back up. Creed and several other officials pull him out of the wreckage while medics bring a stretcher out for Drakin.
The cage containing an overjoyed Shaelin starts to lower as her lover stumbles toward the ring. It's unlocked and as he slides in, she surges forward and jumps into his arms and bowls him over! The two are on the mat, his back against the ropes, kissing in spite of the blood still on his face. There are tears in their eyes as they hold each other.*
TH: GUS RICHLEN SAID HE WOULD WALK THROUGH HELL TO BRING HER BACK, AND TONIGHT, THEY'RE WALKING OUT TOGETHER!!!! SETH DRAKIN PUT UP THE FIGHT OF A LIFETIME, BUT ON THIS NIGHT, GUS RICHLEN'S CAREER LIVES!!!! THE FALLEN DIES!!!! THE KNIGHT HAS SLAIN THE LAST DRAGON IN HIS QUEST!!!!
*The camera cuts to medics wheeling a visibly disappointed Drakin up the ramp and out of sight as Shaelin and Creed raise Richlen's arms in victory.*
