The opening strains of ‘Go To Sleep�?by Eminem and the lights cut out.

This is when the song kicks in and pyros explode on either side of the entranceway and the house lights come back up. Dante steps out from behind the curtain with the W2K Impact Championship belt round his waist, looking out over the fans as these Texas fans boo the hell out of the Hardcore Canuck. Dante starts walking down the aisle, jaw-jacking with a few of the more vocal fans as he heads to the ring.

He walks up the metal steps on to the ring apron and then hops over the top rope using the rope. He jumps up on to one of the turnbuckles and stands on the 2nd rope, looking out over the fans with a smirk that reeks of arrogance.

The fans go NUTSSSS and a second later "Megadef" by Styles Of Beyond starts to fill the Rec Center. As soon as the crowd sees the video package of Rot roll on the big screen, the fans go even more crazy and start clapping on the side of the barricades to the beat of the song. Rot moves out from behind the curtains just as the opening verse starts. As soon as he gets out from behind the curtains, he spins once, and then stops. Golden pyros that are styled like Goldberg's old ones go off on each side of Rot.

He stands there with his head bowed until he throws his hands up, and they cut out. Once they do, he walks down the rest of the black mile, and slides into the ring. Rot is confronted by the Champion, who steps right up to him... The two competitors are no more than a foot away from each other, and already there are trading insults whilst Rot’s theme music fades out to be replaced from a heightened and very excited atmosphere from this Texan crowd.

Dante, who has since unstrapped his belt from his waist... raises it in the air, right next to his face. Rot takes a good look at it before the referee takes it away. As the referee throws the belt too Bink, and bell is rung..

Rot and Dante actually step away from each other... Before Rot suddenly charges forward and stomps down on Dante’s gut! Surprising the champ. Rot wraps his arm round Dantes head and pulls him over with a Headlock Takeover. Rot keeps the headlock, and pauses for a moment, before tightening it a little... Dante slams a left-fist against the mat in frustration... Dante raises up his legs, and almost tries too ‘kip up�?out of the hold... Rot releases it, and Dante scrambles up to his feet, but is turned away from Rot, who dives down for a Chop Block to the back of Dantes legs. Rot grabs Dantes left leg whilst standing up, and straightens it out vertically... twisting the foot and locking the leg in a submission.................... After a few seconds, Rot bends down too grab Dantes other leg, but he stomps out at Rots gut... forcing Rot too release the hold. Dante rolls backwards cleverly and ends up squatted, facing Rot who smirks as he locks eyes with the Impact champion.

Dante DIVES FORWARD! Tackling Rot in the gut and trying to wrestle him to the mat, but Rot manages to stay upright, and just gets driven a little into a turnbuckle... Rot pounds the back of Dante with desperation rights and lefts... Dante steps out a little... Before driving a shoulder into Rots gut! Dante steps back again... another SHOULDER DRIVE! Dante steps back, and grabs Rots arm, whipping him across too the opposite turnbuckle... Dante follows up slowly... Rot CLIMBS UP THE TURNBUCKLE!... HE JUMPS BACK FOR A BACK ELBOW SMASH... Dante jumps up suddenly.... DROP-SAULT TOO ROT WHILST HE’S IN MID-AIR!!!

Rot leans forward on the ropes, looking at Dante who clutches his right knee which really banged against that steel railing. Rot smirks a little, but definitely feels that back pain. Rot ignores the referee’s pleas too ‘keep it in the ring�?. and climbs out. Rot rips Dante off the floor, grabbing his head with both hands and dragging him round the ring and to the Commentary desk.. SLAMMING his face on the desk! Joey and Trunks moves away a little...

Rot raises Dante up by his head again.. and SLAMS it back down on the desk! The referee’s pleas are still ignored. Rot gives Dante and stiff knee in the breadbasket... then lifts him up for a Body Slam... but simply drops him down chest-first onto the desk. Dante bounces back and leans against the apron... Rot shakes his head, and grabs his head again, getting into a ‘light�?headlock... but Dante suddenly spins round a little and flashes a KNIFE-EDGE CHOP ACROSS HIS CHEST!!! Rot staggers back a little... and Dante nails another KNIFE EDGE CHOP ACROSS HIS CHESTTTTT!! Dante staggers a little, and then toe kicks Rot in the gut... Rot bends over a little.. so Dante KNIFE EDGE CHOPS FROM BOTTOM TO TOP ACROSS ROT’S CHEST!!! Rot’s upper body bounces back and he staggers into the turnbuckle post, which stops him stumbling to the floor... Dante charges into him with a couple of big right hands to the face. Dante grabs Rot’s head, and pulls him forward, before slamming him BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLE POST!!! Rot staggers forward, clutching his head as another ‘Ohhhhhhhhh!!�?is heard from the crowd. Now the referee is starting to get really pissed off this exchange, shouting and leaning over the ropes, eyeballing the competitors. Dante shrugs, telling him that ‘Rot started it�?.. Dante lifts Rots chin, and nails him with a good right hand. Rot staggers back, now leant against the steel railing.. his back being slapped and hair being ruffled by excited W2K fans. Dante smirks, preparing another big shot... he throws it- DUCKED! Rot drives a shoulder into Dantes gut.. and drives him BACK INTO THE TURNBUCKLE POST!!!!! Dante collapses too one knee, clutching his lower back... Rot staggers away a little, rubbing the back of his head. Rot grabs Dante quickly, and rolls him back into the ring, climbing in after him.

Rot quickly hooks over both of Dante’s legs for a quick pin cover... ONE! TWO- Kick out! The expected result, and Rot knows it, but he’s up too his feet already... He rips Dante off the canvas by his right arm.. and twists it round... and then again... Rot WRENCHES the arm down... He then twists it round again before quickly wrapping it round the front of Dante’s throat, going back to back with him... and nailing a NECKBREAKER!! Rot quickly hooks over Dante’s leg for another cover... ONE!... TWO!... Shoulder up!!!

Rot slams his palm against the mat, showing a bit of frustration now. He grabs Dante’s head and lifts him up too his feet... a couple of forearm smashes too the face drives Dante back toward the turnbuckle... Rot steps backwards to the middle of the ring, then charges forward..OH! BOOT TO THE FACE! Rot staggers back clutching his head... as Dante lifts himself up to a sitting position on the turnbuckle... he now stands up... and JUMPS OFF FOR A FLYING LARIAT... Rot side steps!.. And puts out a knee to his right side for DANTE TOO NAIL GUT-FIRST!!! Rot suddenly underhooks Dantes arms onto his back with lightening quickness... Rot lifts Dante up into the air briefly ‘power bomb�?style.. and nails his signature move; "MAKE-A-WISH!".. with awesome power! Rot holds Dante’s legs over his chest for the PIN!

ONE!...

TWO!...

Rot lays back, hands on his face, shaking it in dis-belief. Rot rolls back to his feet, and kicks the ropes in frustration... he looks back at Dante, who is on all-fours, breathing in and out heavily... Dante gets too one knee, when suddenly Rot DRAGS him up too his feet... and starts to lift him up Military-Press style... but Dante fights out of it with a couple of shots too Rot’s face. Dante gets back down to his feet... Rot steps back ward, and gives Dante a straight kick to the gut!! Dante staggers back, leaning against the turnbuckle now, and clutching his gut. Rot smirks.. and charges toward him... oh! Dante ducks down and does a Fireman Carry on Rot! Flipping him over and putting him in a Tree of Woe on the corner!

Dante runs out the corner, and then turns straight back around and charges toward Rot............ BASEMENT DROPKICK TO THE FACE!!... The massive "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!" of the night is heard from the fans as they attempt too ‘imagine�?exactly how painful that was. Rot clutches his face in pain. Dante seemed to enjoy it. Dante climbs up too his feet... and stomps down on Rot’s chest twice... then STOMPS down on his chin! Dante, under pressure from the referee, unhooks Rot and lets him drop to the mat. Dante grabs Rot’s feet and drags him to the middle of the ring, turning him over... PIN COVER!

ONE!..

TWO!...

KICK OUT!! Dante breathes hard, grinning a little and shaking his head. He grabs Rot and lifts him too his feet, slowly... Suddenly Rot desperately RAISES THE KNEE INTO DANTE’S GUT! Rot scrambles to the same turnbuckle, and climbs up it... sitting on the top.. but not quick enough! As Dante charges at the ropes just too his left.. running up to the top rope.. and nailing an athletic ENZIGURI TOO THE BACK OF ROTS HEAD!! Rot’s eyes almost roll to the back of his head... Dante gets up to one knee, and Rot rolls forward off the corner.. into a ROLL-UP PIN!!!

ONE!!...

TWO!...

..

KICK OUTT!!.. JUST!!!

Dante and Rot flip out of the pin... and roll back to their feet, Rot still looking groggy though. Dante charges forward, and Rot JUST rolls under a Clothesline attempt... Dante turns back round, and Rot gets back to a standing position.. Dante charges at the groggy-looking Rot again... and Rot manages too duck him again! This time spinning round to his back and wrapping his arms round Dante’s waist... OHHHH!! RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEXXX!!!.. THE RING SHAKES!! Dante rolls side to side, clutching his head... Rot is on his knee’s now, breathing hard... He shakes his head, and slaps himself in the face to try and get his head straight after that thunderous enziguri. Rot crawls over too Dante and hooks over both legs for a pin... ONE! TWO!... THR- KICK OUT!!!

Rot clutches his face again, groaning because Dante just won’t *die* here. He crawls over to the ropes, grabbing them and getting himself up too his feet... Dante rolls over to his front.. and slowly gets up to his feet, Rot allows him too..

Dante staggers a little... Rot walks toward him and receives a right hand to the face!.. Rot staggers a little, before returning the favour!... Both men begin too exchange proper right hands to the jaw... Rot suddenly plays unfairly in this ‘slobber knocker�? and knee’s Dante up in the gut. Dante staggers back toward the centre of the ring... Rot quickly climbs out the ring.. and starts climbing up too the top turnbuckle... Dante clutches his gut, looking up at Rot... who LEAPS OFF FOR A CROSS-BODY!...

DANTE TURNS IT INTO A THUNDERING POWERSLAM!... ROT’S LEGS BOUNCES OFF THE MAT AND DANTE HOOKS THEM OVER WITH HIS RIGHT LEG IN A SMALL PACKAGE STYLE PIN!

ONE!!... ROT SHAKES BUT CAN’T GET OUT!

TWO!..

..

THREEEEE!!!!

Dante quickly rolls out the ring as "Go To Sleep" by Eminem sounds over the PA System... Rot is sat up as he stares out the ring at Dante, who’s clutching his Impact Title belt...
