Unstoppable #19

As “Over and Under” by Egypt Central blasts from the sound system, Chris Williams jogs out onto the MSW set to great fanfare. Williams lifts his cross pendant to his lips, then raises an arm to the sky and looks up, a tribute to his late father.

Gavin Grey: The following match is scheduled for one fall! Making his way to the ring, weighing 240 pounds, from Detroit, Michigan, CHRIIIS WILLIAAAMMMMSS!

He walks down toward the ring with a purpose, high-fiving fans on one side of the rail. He walks up the steps to the ring and pauses, then looks into the crowd and thrusts his arm into the air, getting a nice reaction. Williams steps into the ring and takes off his necklace, handing it to the referee, and then waits.

Smith: It's main event time! It's undeniable the impact Chris Williams has made since making his shocking return at the last Unstoppable and after events that unfolded earlier in the night you can bet that he's treating this match just like a contender's match. Win; and he gets to state his case as to why he should be facing Tommy Angel for the MSW Championship. A loss however would be a tremendous setback and would almost assuredly pave the way for a Cocheese/Angel match for War.

Bradford: Instead of doing the right thing and joining First Class he decided to take that oh so foolish bet against the house. He didn't just want his share, like a greedy bastard he had to shoot for more, more, more! He could've had it made right now; not just anyone gets an invite to First Class after all Smith. Our humble owner, Mr. Cornelius even went out of his way to roll out the red carpet for him! His priorities are clearly out of order right now and Chris Orton is going to make him regret it. There's no parking lot to serve as any source of confusion this time and thankfully I don't see a circle of go-karts lined up either. There's no motivation quite like a humiliating loss but to his credit he definitely managed to make up for it afterwards until Duke Andrews had to stick his nose where it didn't belong.

Smith: I'm not going to make any excuses for it but if there's one thing Chris Orton is; it's motivated. He's got the fire burning in his eyes tonight and there is no doubt in my mind that he's going to give it everything he's got. A win over Chris Williams would definitely propel him in the eyes of the front office and fans alike and right now he's a man with nothing to lose and everything to gain. This could get ugly.

Gavin Grey: And his opponent, already in the ring from Miami Florida, weighing 220lbs he is Chris Orton!


Chris Orton quickly darts for Chris Williams but Williams manages to quickly duck out of reach and slips behind as he pulls off a crisp sleeper suplex. Orton crashes to the mat as Williams follows up with a swift low dropkick to the face as Orton sits up as he quickly sends him crashing back to the mat as he goes to follow up for a cover that only manages a 1.7 count. Williams looking to keep the pressure going often and early quickly springs back to his feet as he slams Orton back to the mat again with an armdrag before following up with another immediately after. The crowd is hot as Orton goes to slide out of the ring as he tries to catch his breath with his hands on his knees.


Smith: Beautiful sleeper suplex followed up by a series of arm drags. Chris Williams showing that patented scientific/technical style that he's known for. It's rare to see a sleeper suplex applied in this day and age but it's always innovative.

Bradford: Orton got a little trigger happy there but don't expect that to be the case all match. Veteran move on his behalf by rolling out of the ring to regroup and get his head back into the game. He can't allow Chris Williams to dictate the match and wrestle it on his terms.

Smith: Every second you can get away from your opponent counts but it's a double edged sword. The more time you have to regroup and recover the more you're opponent is able to do the same. Late into a match that can be the difference between a victory or a stunning comeback by your opponent.

Williams quickly runs against the ropes and just like a running making a mad dash for home base or a QB trying to avoid a big hit hits a baseball slide underneath the bottom rope as Orton crashes into the steel barricade.


Williams slaps a bunch of fans hands sitting I the front row as he takes a moment to strike a pose with the crowd with his arms outstretched as a mother snaps a quick selfie with him and her daughter and son.

Smith: Baseball slide by Chris Williams! He's got Orton on the ropes and the fans are loving it!

Bradford: Bah! He's wasting his time with the crowd! He should be more interested in trying to finish the match, he can pander to those sycophants after.

Smith: There's nothing wrong with the crowd enjoying the show. That's a cherished memory that family is going to remember for the rest of their lives. He may have just inspired one or both of those kids to follow in his footsteps someday.

Bradford: Oh please! I didn't know a barf bag would be mandatory as a result of working next to you. If these kids should want to be like anyone they should look up to IC3; they should look up to Tommy Angel and the rest of First Class. They should want to be in their spot, they should want to be surrounded by luxury and class. The limousines, the one of a kind custom tailored suits, the respect and adoration that comes with being the best of the best. That's what they should strive for; hell that's what you should strive for Smith!

Smith: My integrity and dignity aren't for sale.


Williams slides back in the ring and quickly out to break the referee's count, forcing him to restart.


Williams goes to grab Orton by the head only to get met with a sucker punch to the gut. Orton grabs Williams by the front of the trunks and yanks backwards, propelling him straight into the ring post as his head bounces off it.


Orton grabs Williams by the head and slams it into the ringpost again before leaning his head against the post. Orton drives his boot straight into Williams head with it against the post as he slumps and slides partially down it, his hand barely holding onto the apron.


Orton quickly slides into the ring right before the 5 count, trying to urge the referee to count faster. Maddix ironically stops counting for a moment to explain that he can only count at a certain speed and that he was counting only as fast as he was legally able to.


Williams stirs as he pulls himself up and staggers around trying to find his balance, holding onto the ring apron.


Williams slides into the ring as the last possible moment much to the shock and ire of Chris Orton.

Smith: Chris Williams just barely managed to make it into the ring in the nick of time!

Bradford: That was a slow count!

Smith: Actually for once you're right.

Bradford: It took you long enough to come around! Maybe you can teach an old dog new tricks after all!

Smith: You're right because under normal circumstances there's a big chance Chris Williams might have been counted out. However in a ironic twist of fate; because Orton kept pestering and harassing the referee to count faster he in fact actually bought Williams a few precious extra seconds to recover and get back into the ring.

Bradford: He wouldn't have had to do that in the first place if he did his job! You're always making excuses for these zebras instead of calling it what it is!

Smith: I am calling it a I see it. And I see a referee that was prevented and impeded from doing his job adequately due to an impatient competitor. It's not exactly his fault when he has to explain the rule to someone who doesn't quite understand it as good as he should. Either way Williams is back in the ring but he's hurting pretty badly right now.

Orton quickly leaps for the pinfall looking to put him away quickly. 1, 2, KICKOUT! Orton hooks the leg as he goes for another pin 1, 2, KICKOUT! Orton slaps his hand against the mat in frustration as Maddix holds up 2 fingers. Orton argues a little with the referee, his rage and his anger starting to get the better of him as Williams goes to pull himself back up with the ropes.

Smith: Orton's starting to let his anger get the better of him and it just might end up costing him the match if he isn't careful.

Bradford: He needs to just stay on the attack and keep his foot on the gas. He's in full control right now and he'd be a fool to give Williams an opening he shouldn't have.

Orton stomps his feet on the ground as Williams finally reaches a vertical base base as he quickly hooks the arm around the neck and hits him with a sharp and swift swinging neckbreaker. With Orton seemingly sensing the end at hand he picks his foe up by his hair and goes for the Blackout (Running leaping bulldog) but Williams managed to counter by hooking his elbow on the top rope for leverage , leaving Orton with a handful of air as he crashes to the ground on his rear. Orton manages to get back to his feet as Williams manages to dig down deep and launch himself full speed at Orton for a running crossbody in a last ditch desperation attempt to try to shift the momentum of the match. As Williams collides with Orton both men skid and crash to the mat.

Smith: And that might have just been what Chris Williams needed to get back into the match! Somehow he found a way to dig down deep into his reserves and managed to hit one hell of a crossbody when he needed to the most!

Bradford: That's just bad luck, pure and simple for Chris Orton. If he would have had him just one inch closer towards the center of the ring he'd be on the verge of victory.

Smith: Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good; other times it's better to be both good and lucky. Chris Williams appears to be a bit of both right now. He's a student of the game and he used his veteran ring awareness to narrowly avert a disaster. Whether he's a Machine or just plain ole Chris Williams there's no doubt in anyone's mind that he's simply a masterful ring general.

Maddix checks on both men before starting the 10 count as the crowd is fully behind the man formerly known as The Machine.


Williams is up, Orton is up to one knee. The referee pauses as he's ready to call for the bell as Orton is able to make it back to both feet as well. Both men walk back towards the ring as Williams throws a right hook at Orton.


Orton fires back with a left of his own.


The reaction was mixed for Orton but the booes were definitely more audible as the crowd was split 65/35 in favor of Chris Williams.


Williams struck back with another right.


The crowd was quick to react again as Orton countered as they went back and forth now as they exchanged punches at a frentic pace.


The momentum has shifted further and further towards Chris Williams now as he whipped Orton to the ropes and quickly managed to quickly capture him with a snap vertical suplex.

Smith: Williams with the vertical suplex! And he doesn't look like he's done here, he's holding on and looking to hit another.

Bradford: Hook the leg Orton, hook the leg! Block it!

Williams managed to hang on as he managed to drag Orton back to his feet with him and he managed to pivot his hips as he lifted him to slam him back down with a second vertical suplex.

Smith: Second vertical suplex, and he's not done yet folks!

Bradford: No! Come on Orton, reverse it, reverse it!

Williams again manages to hold on as he drags his foe up to his feet one more time as he lifted him up and backwards one final time as he finally releases the hold as he drives him down for the third consecutive suplex. Williams lept back up to his feet as he was well into his second wind as Orton probably against his better judgment managed to find a way to return to a vertical base. Before Orton could even regain his ring awareness after being tossed around for three verticals in a row Williams had scooped him up for a scoop slam, managing to hold him on his shoulder for just a moment before transitioning into the Boiling Point (Emerald Flosion).

Smith: Boiling Point! Williams with the Boiling Point! This one is over!

Williams quickly hooks the leg upon impact as the crowd loudly counts along for the pin 1, 2, 3!

Gavin Grey: Here is your winner... Chris Williams!

Smith: Well there's no denying that he made his case loud and clear here tonight! IC3 is going to have one hell of a decision on his hands!

Bradford: Well both Williams and Cocheese won tonight so they have to be the front runners one would imagine but until the Boss says you've earned it, it's far from a sure thing!

Smith: Well that's all the time we have for tonight. For Alex Bradford I'm Alex Smith thanks for watching! We'll see you next wee... wait a minute! What's going on here? Who are those men?

What appeared to be two fans wearing black bandannas covering their faces hop the guard rail and begin to circle the ring as Chris Williams was in the middle of his post match celebration.

Smith: You got to be kidding me! Is this what I think it is?

Bradford: Oh come on! You're just profiling them! You can get a bandanna at the QuikStop down the street! That proves nothing!

Smith: Put two and two together for once. Two men gunning for the spot, the escalation of tension between the presumed contendership front runners. The Capital Crew and their bandannas they have tied around their necks.

Bradford: Yeah, yeah. You've heard of a thing called fans haven't you? I mean look at those two! The only Crew they look like they belong to is the Afterschool Clean-Up Crew! Just a pair of punk kids!

Williams looks around to either side of the ring, being sure to watch his back before he motions with both of his hands for them to bring it. The two men dart into the ring and try to attack him from both sides. They manage to back him into a corner before Chris Williams starts fighting back with a punch of swift right and left punches as he manages to fight out of the corner. The two thugs try to fight back as they kick him in the gut and try to go for a double suplex, only to get countered by a double DDT instead! The first thug gets up and tries to dart after Williams but only manages to catch a release german suplex for his troubles. The second thug gets up and darts at him for a clothesline but Williams had him scouted as he ducks and catches him in a release German Suplex as well. Both thugs are reeling on the mat next to one another as Chris William picks the first thugs up on his shoulder as he looks for the Boiling Point but seeing the opportunity on his hands he waits for the second thug to get up momentarily as he then scoops him up a swell ontop of the other! Williams slams them both down to the mat for a Double Boiling Point as the crowd pops as “Over and Under” by Egypt Central blasts from the sound system as Chris Williams stands tall.


Smith: And just when things were going to end on a quiet note for once things heated back up! Who tried to attack Chris Williams? Who is the Number One Contender for WAR? We're out of time for tonight, tune in next week to MSW Unstoppable as we hope to find out these answers and more! Goodnight everyone!
