When we return to the ringside area, Cancer Giles is seated at the announcer's table next to Michael Decker.
Michael Decker: I guess I am being joined by Cancer Giles, who is supposed to be competing in this upcoming match.
Cancer Giles: I'm feeling a little under the weather. I didn't want to risk spreading any illness to the fine gentlemen in this match.
Michael Decker: You were well enough to pass medical screenings. If you had any concerns, you could have just stayed home.
Cancer Giles: Don't tell me how to run my life. I wipe my own ass.
Scott Smith: The following match is a non-title fatal four way match scheduled for one fall!
Again, he pauses. Again, there are no fans.
Cancer Giles: Non-title? What a shame. Bobby Dean should be defending that belt all day, every day. That's what I would do if I were champion.
Michael Decker: You're not even in this match anymore, Giles. I don't think you have much say in the matter.
Cancer Giles: Then why'd he say this is a fatal four way, huh?
Scott Smith: The first competitor... seated at ringside for some reason... CANCER GILES!
Cancer Giles: HEY!
"Through The Safety And The Dance" "Through The Safety And The Dance" starts up and Kentucky Tarzan bursts out from backstage rather than swinging down on a vine.
Cancer Giles: Sources say Kenturky's vine is quarantined for two weeks.
Michael Decker: What sources?
Cancer Giles: A lady never tells.
Scott Smith: Introducing next… from Columbus, Ohio… KENTUCKY TARZAN!
Cancer Giles: More like Ohio Tarzan! I bet he wasn't even raised by apes!
Tarzan slaps hands with nobody on his way to the ring. He slides in the ring as "Blunt Blowin" by Lil Wayne starts up. There's no fancy light work like usual as Mikey Unlikely makes his way out.
Scott Smith: Introducing next… from Los Angeles… The World's Greatest Sports Entertainer… MIKEY UNLIKELY!
Cancer Giles: Geez. Scott is really phoning it in.
Michael Decker: Says the guy doing commentary for his own match.
Mikey Unlikely makes it to the ring and walks up the steps, looking in at Tarzan before entering between the ropes. "Fat" by Weird Al starts up and both men watch the entryway.
Scott Smith: And finally… he is the current, reigning, but NOT defending UTA Hardcore Champion… BEAUTIFUL… BOBBY… DEAN!
Nobody comes out from backstage.
Michael Decker: WHAT THE WHAT?!
Cancer Giles: Look in the stands, Michael! That's gotta be… that's gotta be… THAT'S GOTTA BE DEANNNNN!!!!
Indeed, Bobby Dean is making his way to the ring from the empty seating, knocking over empty chairs with his gut. Once he makes it to the guardrail, he tries to climb over and ends up tumbling over to the floor at ringside. He gets up and dusts off his beautiful robe before walking up the steps and entering between the ropes.
Cancer Giles: That is what a REAL man looks like, Michael! Take notes!
Bobby hands his robe and his championship to the referee, telling him to take good care of them. The referee hands them off to a nobody at ringside. When Bobby turns around, Tarzan and Unlikely are standing side by side in the middle of the ring.
Michael Decker: It looks like they've both got their eyes on the champ.
Cancer Giles: How could they not? He's huge!
The referee calls for the opening bell, and Unlikely turns his attention to Tarzan by way of a surprise lariat, nearly taking the young man's head off of his shoulders. Unlikely stomps away at Tarzan as he crawls to the nearest corner. Bobby Dean keeps his distance, watching from the other side of the ring. Unlikely takes a break from stomping on Tarzan in the corner, and he looks back at Dean. Unlikely waves him over, and Dean charges and hits Tarzan with a devastating hind quarter attack to the seated Tarzan.
Cancer Giles: ATM SPLASH! BY GAWD!
Michael Decker: Is that really a thing?
Cancer Giles: It is now! It'll be trending in no time, Michael!
Dean turns around and goes to high five Unlikely, but is met instead with a dropkick to his beautiful face. The big man falls hard and holds his money maker, as Unlikely unleashes a barrage of kicks to Dean's torso. Dean holds onto the ropes and the referee starts to count, threatening to disqualify Unlikely.
Mikey Unlikely: Go ahead! DQ me! I dare ya!
Unlikely backs off long enough to break the count, then starts at Dean again. The referee scolds him again and he pushes the ref, then gets in his face, arguing with the ref simply for doing his job. This is enough of a distraction to allow Tarzan to sneak up behind him with a high angle roll up.
Michael Decker: One... two... KICKOUT!
Both men get back up and Unlikely charges at Tarzan, who pulls down the top rope and Unlikely crashes over the top and to the floor. Tarzan starts clapping his fans to get the crowd going... but there is... no... crowd. When Unlikely gets up on the outside, Tarzan grabs ahold of the top rope and launches himself over, crashing into Unlikely. Dean is back to his feet and sees both men struggling to get up. Dean shrugs his shoulders, hits the ropes and charges toward the ropes... but then rolls underneath the bottom rope and clotheslines both men on the outside.
Michael Decker: I was thinking we were going to see Air Bobby.
Cancer Giles: Air Bobby is what I call it when Bobby Dean has to fly on a commercial airline... because he requires two seats.
Bobby throws his arms up in the air to pop the crowd... but there's... no... crowd.
Michael Decker: It must be strange for these guys to wrestle in front of nobody.
Cancer Gile: I've wrestled in front of nobody before... but it wasn't because of a national pandemic. The shows at Skoogledorf Pro Wrestling were just the drizzling shits.
Dean pulls Tarzan off the floor and rolls him back into the ring. As he goes to follow, Unlikely turns him around and rams him spine first into the edge of the ring. Unlikely slides into the ring and locks on a sleeper hold.
Cancer Giles: Rest hold. Coooooool. Is it time for a commercial break?
Michael Decker: No, it is not.
Cancer Giles: Damn.
Tarzan starts stomping his foot, hoping to get the fans going... but there are... no... fans. He starts to push up to his feet and delivers three elbows to Unlikely, which releases the sleeper hold. He hits the ropes... ducks a clothesline from Unlikely... then springboards off the middle rope and connects with a cross body. Tarzan gets up and starts shaking his arms.
Kentucky Tarzan: BABYFACE FIRE!!!
Tarzan its the ropes and flies in the air, landing on Unlikely with a huge splash, then hooks the leg.
Michael Decker: One... two... KICKOUT!
Cancer Giles: It aint over til it's over, Michael!
Tarzan is up and shaking his arms again. He hits the ropes and goes for another splash... but is met with an avalanche splash by Bobby Dean which knocks the wind out of him. Tarzan rolls out of the ring as Dean turns his attention to Unlikely, who is up to his feet now. Dean scoops him up and bodyslams him in the middle of the ring, then points to the corner. He starts climbing... slowly... carefully.
Cancer Giles: Oh shit. That's my cue. Byeeeee!
Cancer Giles removes his headset and heads to the ring, sliding in quickly. As Bobby Dean finally makes it to the middle rope, Giles runs up behind and pushes him over the top, causing the Hardcore Champ to tumble hard onto the apron and to the floor. Giles looks proud of what he's done... as he turns around into a lariat into a backbreaker from Mikey Unlikely!
Michael Decker: ROLL CREDITS!
Unlikely covers Giles and the referee drops down.
Michael Decker: One... two... three!
The bell sounds and "Blunt Blowin" starts up as Mikey Unlikely is to declared the winner. He has his hand raised in the air, then pushes the referee away to turn his attention to Bobby Dean, who is barely getting to his feet and now holding onto his Hardcore Championship. Unlikely points at him, then motions a belt around his own waist.
Michael Decker: It looks like Mikey Unlikely wants what Bobby Dean's got... and that's the UTA Hardcore Championship!
Bobby Dean backs up the ramp as medical staff rushes out to help Kentucky Tarzan, who is having troubles breathing after being flattened by our hefty Hardcore Champion. The scene fades... away...
