[ As the bell rings, Eric charges towards Cain who immediately drops down and takes him down with a drop-toe hold. Ryan gets back up and smoothly walks to the other side of the ring and slicks his golden locks back, allowing Starr to soak in the moment of him being on the ground, and Ryan not. An obvious look of anger spreads across Eric’s face as he pushes himself up off of the mat and locks horns with Ryan. Headlock, smoothly followed into a hammerlock as Cain shows excellent chain wrestling ability. Eric counters by somehow twisting his body around the hold and impressively reverses it into a hammerlock of his own. Ryan groans in pain as Eric cranks on his arm a little bit, nodding at the crowd with a smug look on his face. Starr loosens his grip, slaps Cain upside the head, and pushes him a couple feet across the ring. Jeers begin to spread across the arena as the arrogance of Eric is shown when he struts for a couple seconds across the ring ONLY TO BE MET BY A ZERO KI-no! Starr ducks then grabs onto Cain’s Zero Kick leg, capture suplex! Eric gets up and charges at Ryan, intelligently grabbing onto his leg and gives it a few hard shots, followed up by a leg-lock. ]

Joey: Almost over with a quickness!

Trunks: That must be why he's the Franchise of W2K or something, oh wait, he screwed it up, loser.

[ Starr begins wrenching that leg as Ryan screams out in pain, but then decides to break up the hold by lifting up his free leg and kicks Eric right in the face. Needless to say, Eric let go of the hold and rolls across the ring a couple times grabbing onto his face. Ryan lightly limps after he gets back up and starts trekking towards an un-ware Eric Starr. Ryan grabs a handfull of hair and just starts blasting Starr in the face with lefts and rights. Cain then whips Eric into the ropes and sends him crashing onto his back with an explosive drop kick. He grabs Eric, attempting to double him over, but Starr capitalizes on the position and takes Ryan down by the back of the leg, rolling him up in a small package. ONE�?TWO!...and a kickout from Cain. Starr pulls himself up, obviously pissed that he was trumped. Starr grapples him, but Ryan reverses it, and takes the smaller man down to the mat with a German Suplex. Cain starts laying the boots to him, backing him up into the corner, not giving him any leeway. Cain pulls Starr up and knees him in the stomach, pushing him farther back. Ryan takes a step back then rushes him, but Starr rolls to the side, sending Cain gut and face first into the steel ring-post. Starr capitalizes, smashing Cain’s head into the turnbuckle repeatedly, or at least until Ryan elbows him in the face. Ryan capitalizes on Eric’s moment of weakness, lifting him up for a vertical suplex. As opposed to dropping him into the center of the ring, Ryan drops Starr over the ropes and down to the concrete floor. ]

Trunks: Absolutely unnecissary!

Joey: But very affective to say the least! Eric Star is down and hurting!

[ Ryan takes this moment to rub his face to relieve some of the pain from those turnbuckle shots, but is soon interrupted whenever Eric grabs onto his legs and pulls them out from under them. In an amazing show of athleticism, Starr jumps onto the apron, onto the top rope�?HE’S ABOUT TO GO FOR IT! HE SPRINGBOARDS�?but instead goes for a leg drop, turning in mid-air�?WHICH CONNECTS WITH RYAN’S FACE! I suppose he’ll try to soften him up a bit before he decides to take the ‘washed up has-been�?out. Cover�?one�?TWO�?THR-no! Kick out! Starr gets back to his feet nodding down at Ryan, understanding that it’s going to take a little bit more to take his ass out. Eric gets the idea to smash Ryan in the face with his knee, so he charges at the ropes to build up momentum, bounces, RYAN KNIPS UP! ZERO KI-NO! Once AGAIN Eric ducks, turns around, CAIN SPEARS HIS ASS TO THE GROUND! We see Ryan mutter "duck that, bitch!" as he mounts him and unleashes a flurry of fists onto his face. After a few more moments of this, Ryan decides to let up and use another method of schooling this kid. As the cheers from the crowd slowly begin to grow with acknowledgement, seeing these two men putting on a great show, Ryan decides to catch his breathe for a couple seconds as he paces around the ring. As he turns his back to his fallen opponent, Eric does a knip-up of his own! He bounces off of the ropes and takes Ryan down with a running enziguri. ]

Trunks: Eric Star on the comeback folks!

Joey: Ryan was caught off guard, Trunks.

[ Cain staggers for a moment, and then hits the mat face first. Eric rolls him over, and goes for the cover. ONE!...TWO!...and a kickout from the wrestling veteran! Eric mouths off at the referee and pulls Cain up, only to be whipped into the corner. Cain rushes him again and nails a shining wizard! Starr’s seeing stars [no-pun intended] as his eyes get glazed over and he starts to stumble out of the corner and around the ring. Ryan starts to enjoy the moment as he simply follows a dazed Eric Starr across the ring chuckling to himself. Eric stops abruptly and shakes it off, immediately turns back around and delivers and crushing kick to Ryan’s ribs. Ryan drops down to a knee to try and suck in some air. Eric charges at the ropes, bounces off, a snap spinning wheel kick that takes Ryan Cain to the ground! Eric looks over at the crowd as a smirk begins spreading across his face. He looks back down at a lights out Ryan Cain, then looks back at the crowd. Starr gives the signal to the crowd that it’s time to take Ryan out. Eric takes his time strutting towards the ropes and climbs through. With one more look at the crowd, Eric leaps onto the top rope AT THE SAME TIME THAT RYAN DOES YET ANOTHER OUT OF THE BLUE KNIP-UP! Eric sees this and tries to hold himself back from jumping off, but the adrenaline rush has taken his body over, and on instinct he jumps and begins moving his body into the shooting star�?ZERO KICK! Starr’s head snaps back and his eyes roll into the back of his head�?he falls onto the ground like a ton of bricks, out cold! One…TWO…THREE! ]

Joey: RYAN PULLED IT OFF!!

Trunks: Ryan FOCKin Cain has defeated Eric Star! You gotta believe the New Wave camp isn't liking this at all!

Joey: Could this be an omen for what's to come in the first of two world title matches tonight?

Trunks: Heh, you said Omen.
