Rot vs Con Escobar

To say this match was effing brutal would be like saying George W Bush is dumb, a very big understatement. The match started off with Con locking up with Rot, forcing him to the ropes, and then throwing wild yet effective punches at Rot. Rot blocked some of the shots until he ducked under one, slipped behind Con, and slammed his knee across Con's back. But that didn't keep the beast known as Esco down! He turned around, slammed Rot's face in with a mean left hook, and hits a pretty impactful overhead belly-to-belly suplex. Con had control of the match, working away at Rot's ribs, until Rot reverses a legscissors on his abdomen into a Heel Hook. Con doesn't tap though, he gets to the ropes, and when he gets up he's face to face with Rot. Rot spits in Con's eyes, and then rolls him up in a pin, using the ropes as leverage. The ref dosen't even notice, and the fans boo like all Hell as they believe Con is about to lose! But just as the ref's hand goes down for the three, Con kicks out! Rot gets frustrated, and starts poking his thumbs into Esco's eye. The ref warns him he'll disqualify him, and Rot gets up. He picks Con up, throws him into the ropes only to get a huge OWNED!!! Con's patented spear! Rot is flatened out, and it looks like there's going to be a new TV champion as Con pins! He gets a one... a two... A THREE... NO! Rot had kicked out barely before the count of three. Con now has the fans on his side, as they tell him to "FUCKIN' KILL HIM". Con picks Rot up, and looks like he's about to hit the CIA, but Rot reverses it, and hits the Cross-Arm Russian Leg sweep! Rot picks Con up, runs towards the ropes, and hit the Inept out of no where! Rot goes for the pin only to get a two count! Rot can't believe it, he just hit his marquee finisher on Con, and he kicked out! Rot stands up, points to the top rope. He climbs up it, and signals he's going for it all here. He launches himself off the top rope, doing a shooting star press flip, and goes to hit the shooting star leg drop but Con moves out of the way last minute! Rot clutches his bottom, as Con gets up, brings Rot up with him, nails him in the gut with his knee, and goes to hit the Ode To Akiyama... and he does! He pins Rot! ONE... TWO... THREEEEEE NOOOOO! ROT KICKED OUT LAST SECOND! The fans are in an uproar as both men are pretty much out of it. Con lifts Rot up, throws him into the corner, and looks like he wants to hit the Induced Trauma. But suddenly Rot slips free, waits until Con turns around, and slams him across the head with a fist. Con stumbles back, Rot lifts him into the air with a military press, throws him up, and hits the Mock! Con crumbles to the mat, and Rot does too only on top of him for the pin. The ref counts... 1..2...3! Rot retains the TV Title in a very competitive match!
