The camera shot goes back to ringside as we see Ring Announcer extraudionair Harold Robbins standing poised, ready to announce the next match.
Moss: Alright Thunderbird! This week we’ve got a hell of a match to start off an exciting show! We’ve got two guys trying to regain some momentum after being knocked out of the World Title Tournament!
Howley: You got that right Moss, one of these two is going to get back to their winning ways, while the other… well they’re going to have some things to sort out!
Moss: Let’s kick it over to Harold for introductions!
Flash Gordon starts on the PA as smoke bellows near the curtain. A spotlight zeroes in on the center where Dash is knelt down. In time with the music he stands up and puts his hands in the air. His trusty robot companion, Hello World, wheels behind him as Dash slaps hands with some fans as he makes his way to the ring.
Harold Robbins: Ladies and Gentlemen, this next match is scheduled for one fall with a 20 minute time limit! Coming to the ring first, Accompanied to the ring by his…robot… Hello World! he hails from…
Rolling into the ring and does a very exaggerated point and shouts “THE FUTURE!”.
Robbins: The Future! Weighing in at 210 Lbs. This is “The Future Fighter” DASH DACKSON!
He smirks in his corner as he awaits his opponent.
I WANNA ROCK! ROCK!
Rikki Roxx struts into the arena like only he can as Twisted Sister belts out the classic tune. Bandana wrapped around his head and long flowing blond hair behind him. He’s got the stiff upper lip going below his mirrored aviator sunglasses as he swaggers his way to the ring. The six ladies in the crowd scream and rush the barricades, showering him with used panties and pleas for love as he makes his way up the stairs.
Roxx provocatively enters through the ropes, looking above his aviators pushed down to the end of his nose and shooting the ladies a wink before going into the ring with metal horns high into the air. He parades around and poses for the crowd, soaking in the energy as he awaits.
Robbins: And his opponent… Weighing in at 235 lbs. He hails from Detroit Rock City! This is The THRASHMANNNNN…. RIKKI ROXX!
The two men stand in their respective corners without taking their eyes off one another.
The bell sounds and Rikki and Dash both lock up in the center of the ring. Both men push with all their might and finally Rikki Roxx shows his strength (or weight) advantage and pushes Dash back into the turnbuckle. The official calls for a clean rope break and Rikki relents cautiously.
Moss: I don’t know how many times Roxx has had a strength advantage there Thunderbird, but he looks to have it here!
As Roxx backs away Dash flicks his head, cracking his neck and goes in at the Thrashman again. This time Roxx catches him with a hip toss however that sends Dash sprawling. He slaps the mat in frustration as Roxx urges him to come on. On the outside, Hello World wheels up to the ring apron.
“Let’s go Dash!” Some of the fans agree and get behind the Future Fighter.
Dash feeds off the crowd and comes back up and ducks a clothesline from Rikki. On the return off the ropes he jumps and leapfrogs his opponent. Finally as Roxx turns around Dash is able to land a dropkick that sends both men crashing to the mat.
The fans cheer as they both get to their feet, keeping an eye on the other.
Howley: Pretty even matchup here Moss, These guys seem to have an answer for one anothers movesets.
The pair get up, reset and lock up once more. This time Dash uses his quickness to duck under and behind his opponent. He lifts him up and spins him down face first on the canvas with a big belly to back suplex. Dash locks in a headlock on the mat. The official is quick to slide in and verify it’s a legal hold before asking Rikki if he wants to submit. The Mount Rushmore of Encore declines albeit painfully.
Roxx is able to slowly get up with the weight of Dash on him. He makes it to his feet and tosses an elbow into the stomach of Dackson to break the hold. He grabs Dash by the wrist and sends him running into the turnbuckle. He lands back first with a loud thud. Rikki waists no time and follows up with some forearms and kicks in the corner. His last forearm lands hard and Dash walks along the ropes holding his jaw. It’s enough space for Rikki to sneak in with a quick suplex in the middle of the ring. He goes for a cover.
Moss: Does Dackson have enough to kick out!?
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Thunderbird: Listen, these guys both know how important this match is. You gotta fight back Moss or you’re going to be left in the Classic Past!
Both wrestlers get to their feet. Rikki goes to shoot Dash off the ropes, but Dash holds on and reverses it, sending Roxx off instead. Dash ducks for a back body drop and Roxx goes high into the air before crashing onto the mat. He holds his back in pain. Dackson wastes no time and drops a knee into the back of the neck of the Rockstar.
Thunderbird: Smart man! He’s softening him up for that Sleeper Hold of his! Moss you could learn a thing or two from this Dackson character. The man has his own Robot! How cool is that?
Moss: It’s pretty cool!
Thunderbird: You know nothing about being cool Moss, Shut up!
Dash picks Roxx up to his feet and hooks him for a suplex. He lifts him straight up in the air and stalls. Rikki rocks (No pun intended) back and forth and is able to use his weight to come back down on his feet, reversing the move. When he lands, he instead picks up Dackson for a suplex only to drive him down to the mat on his head.
Moss: LOVE ON THE ROXX~! There’s his Brainbuster! What a reversal!
Roxx makes the cover as Hello World spins in place in distress.
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
Moss: What a climax! Rikki Roxx picks up his first win in Classic Wrestling!
Robbins: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by pinfall…. RIKKI ROXXX!
Thunderbird: I wonder if he’s got any groupies backstage!? Do you think he does? He’d surely hand one off to Ol’ Thunderbird right?
Rikki Roxx gyrates in the ring in celebration as we move to elsewhere in the building.
