*** Golden Fury make their way to the back following the match having an intense discussion on the ramp. The Masked Shooter and Ronnie Lassiter stand in the ring catching their breath. The Masked Shooter pats Lassiter on the shoulder and motions for the ringside microphone. The Masked Shooter receives the mic and as he begins to speak a loud shriek can be heard from the crowd. Lassiter and Shooter look around and both turn to look behind them. Crusher Sato, who has just jumped the barricade with The Imperial Assassin, levels them with a double clothesline! Sato hurls Shooter over the top rope and follows him outside as The Imperial Assassin picks up Lassiter and chops him repeatedly in the corner. Sato whips Shooter into the steel steps and then marches back in the ring. Inside the ring The Imperial Assassin hits Lassiter with a low blow which drops him to the mat. As Lassiter hits the mat both Sato and The Assassin begin stomping him mercilessly as the timekeeper frantically rings the bell! The Imperial Assassin mounts the back of Ronnie Lassiter, restrains his arms, and motions for Sato to grab the dropped ring mic. Sato grabs the mic and holds it at The Assassin’s face as security rushes to ringside. ***
Assassin: If ANYONE sets foot in this ring I will snap his spine!!
*** The security team stops their advancements to the ring and instead rush over to restrain The Masked Shooter who has recovered from his attack. The Masked Shooter is livid and as he is forcefully held back The Imperial Assassin continues to speak. ***
Assassin: I told you that the bill would come due Shooter and you wouldn’t listen! I told you what would happen if you didn’t face me. I’ve realized that to get through to you I need to provide the right “motivation”……..
***The Imperial Assassin shifts his position and locks Lassiter’s head and left arm in a devastating submission hold. As he pulls back Lassiter screams in pain as the Assassin continues to speak. ****
Assassin: Does this hold look familiar? The Dragon Clutch? This BROKE Matt Sampson in Japan and I WILL BREAK Ronnie Lassiter RIGHT NOW unless you agree to face me! This is your LAST CHANCE Shooter!! What is your answer???
*** Shooter stands helpless for a moment, obviously distressed. The fans are screaming! Then, he raises his gaze to the Assassin, a look of utter calm in his eyes. ***
SHOOTER: “Alright, Assassin, let him go. You win. You want to fight me so bad? Fine. You will face me in the ring. *** Shooter’s voice lowers into the mic, almost a whisper *** Now let him go, or I’ll come in there right now and end YOUR career.”
BLOOMFIELD: “Ladies and gentlemen, this is a volatile situation and we have to take a commercial break! Our cameras will keep rolling! Don’t go anywhere!”
