Chapter 92: Winner Takes All Match (I)
Before he left, Arnold gave him a crazy motivation.
"Don't come back without winning."
The system actually told Arnold to tell him this, assuring him that it was going to boost his motivation.
When Mark entered the ring and the match began, Thane Ryder took the lead. Still, Mark had perfection issues, and it had almost caused him the match.
But thanks to the strength and attack power he had advanced with Arnold's guidance. He was able to stay in the match despite several attacks from Thane.
Surprisingly, when Thane Ryder finally wanted to deliver his finisher, Mark (Bobby Crimson) escaped it and launched the Broad Kick against him, causing him to fall on the thick mat, unconscious.
After a tensioned count of three, Bobby Crimson emerged victorious in that match, causing both a shock and excitement on Arnold's face.
Although he never expected less... Mark and Lila have been devoted to training hard and practicing, they truly deserve to win... At least, they wouldn't keep suffering the rows of defeat that made them inferior.
Happy that Mark defeated his greatest enemy, Arnold went back to warm up and kept practicing all the vital moves he got.
The Neckbuster, the Sorrowful Kiss, the RKO...
The Moonsault...
When it was almost time for the main event, she went back to his locker room to rest and meditate.
At that time, this stadium, Alliance Arena, which has up to thirty thousand seating capacity, was already filled up. This indicated the level of the massive exposure of this match. At the same time, it was another warning for Arnold not to lose...
Not in the watch of the world.
That night, Arnold was stunned away by the appearance of two individuals in the show.
"Hey, Max Fury! What's up?"
Arnold never expected to see Matthew Bridges in a Grindhouse Wrestling show, but here he was... He had just come to watch the most talked about match of the week!
A match that had drawn the attention of ESPN and some top professional wrestlers, what would one not say about it?
It was going to be the greatest match in Grindhouse Wrestling history.
The second shocking appearance was the arrival of Mia. Arnold got his eyes widened, but he didn't know why he became happy at the same time.
"Why did you leave the university just to come here? You will be punished," Arnold asked curiously.
However, Mia only chuckled and folded her arms.
"Mrs May allowed the final-year students to come here so we could learn from the two great wrestlers that would be competing against each other... That's why I'm here," she smiled at her boyfriend.
Hearing this, Arnold was relieved. At least he was happy that Mia wasn't like her friend who lied to the authorities to leave the university... She seemed different.
"Alright, sit," Arnold offered her a seat in the locker room, and they had a short conversation before the exact time for the main event.
When Arnold was about the leave his locker room, Mia called from behind.
"Arnold!"
Arnold halted instantly and turned in her direction.
"Be careful..." She said.
Arnold nodded repeatedly and walked out of the room. Through the alleyway and to the preparatory area, Max Fury was set to enter the ring.
He was the one to make the first entry, so he had to be there before Tristan Black. While there were murmurs inside the area, impatient to see the fighters coming in, the song of Max Fury boomed with a sudden force.
Arnold dashed out from the entrance area and appeared in the arena. That minute, an unexplainable rate of screams and cheers sounded through the arena.
Like always, the fans of Max Fury were super enthusiastically shaken to see their superstar... The Legacy... The young wonder fighter.
Arnold tried to calm down, and then he made his Out-ring gesture, raising both hands wide and straight with a serious look on his face as if he was having a meditation.
"That's the feeling... The great feeling of the Grindhouse Omega champion. The devastating aura... The fearless zeal."
"I'm one hundred percent sure that Max Fury is ready for the match, just like he always was for other matches he had come out victorious."
"Well, we can't say for sure! Tristan Black could be more than ready!"
Arnold heard the commentators speak, but he didn't pay their words any attention knowing that they were only doing their job.
He made the same gesture and raised his title above his head after climbing to the top turnbuckle inside the ring, making the fans cheer louder.
When he was done with his display, Tristan Black's theme song sounded. It was a sound that came with base and devastating echoes, showing off his destructive personality.
However, Arnold was not afraid...
He was calm and collected.
Tristan was dressed in a black garment that had a white rope and an attached hoodie cap. This was his entrance custom in all matches, so it wasn't strange for the fans except for Arnold.
When he entered the ring, the match introduction began.
"The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!"
"ONE FALL!!!!"
"And it's for the Grindhouse Alpha and Omega Championship!"
"Introducing first, from San Diego, California, weighing 224 pounds. He is the Grindhouse Omega champion, The Legacy, MAX FURY!!!"
"YEAH!!!" Max Fury's fans cheered hard.
"And his opponent, from Merseyside, England, weighing in 265 pounds, he is the Grindhouse Alpha Champion, The Nightmare, Tristan Black!!!"
*Cheers*
Tristan Black's fans also showed themselves, shouting at the top of their lungs in full support.
After the announcer made the introductions, she left the ring immediately and ordered the descending of the steel cage. The steel cage had already been fixed around the extreme of the top of the ring spot, and now, it was time to place it in its rightful position.
While the steel cage descended, Tristan Black and Max Fury exchanged fierce gazes at themselves. The fans had little to no idea of what these men had in mind...
In the end, what they only wanted was just an exciting match with their favorite wrestler winning the match.
Tristan Black was fighting to end Max Fury's career, while Max Fury was only fighting for the Alpha Championship Title.
His win would definitely end Tristan's career after all, but Max Fury didn't care.
Tristan made that decision himself and recorded it in the Agreement Book of the management.
A few moments later, the steel cage was set.
"Ring the bell!"
Ding. Ding. Ding!
As the bell rang, the greatest wrestling match in Grindhouse Wrestling began!
