Match : "Corporate Ace" Daniel Ness vs. Sylvain "Pay Day" Mint: Fallout Openweight Title
(Credit: Senator)

Predator: And now, it's time for the dream match of the century...

Dean Bardo: As much as I would like to agree, and state that this will be a competitive title match, I highly doubt that Sylvain Mint will provide a challenge here to Daniel Ness.

R.J. Fisher: Well, we know that Mint isn't exactly motivated to win the title, and all signs point to this being a glorified sparring session, on Fallout television, to boot! Daniel Ness has tried to put Mint over as a credible opponent, something that he's never had to do for any of his other title challengers!

Bardo: Nice analysis, Fisher, seems like even you caught on here. Predator, on the other hand...

Pred: Is a true genius, and a renaissance man! Seriously, you guys are morons, and are ruining this timeless moment, before one of the greatest matches in wrestling history is about to occur, you don't talk about your pitiful little conspiracy theories, you praise the high holy hell out of the two finest champions ever to grace the ring!

Fisher: What, Predator, are you not going to list yourself among them?

Pred: Hush, my little child. I was trying to be humble here, and revere these two fine competitors. Besides, everyone KNOWS that Predator is the greatest of all time. I don't need to say it, that's common knowledge.

Soon, thankfully, Pred's annoying babble is drowned out by Iris Yoon in the ring, who is standing by with Title Coordinator Tony Givens, Advisor Craig Lewis, "Textbook" Tim Dwight, and Chairman Biff Taylor. Givens is holding the accompanying trophy that goes along with the belt, and all four, with the exception of Biff Taylor are dressed nicely for the occasion.

Iris: The following match will be for the Fallout Openweight Title!

Tony Givens holds up the trophy to the crowd, on all four sides, before the Fallout Managing Committee exits the ring. As they do, "I Wanna Rock and Roll All Day" hits the PA system...

Iris: Announcing first, weighing in at two hundred and twenty pounds, he is the challenger, hailing from San Francisco, California, a former ACW World Champion, and a member of the Corporate Club, Sylvain, "Pay Day" Miiiiiiinnnnnnnt!

Mint walks out from the entranceway, wearing his trademark dollar sign adorned trench coat. He receives a big pop from the Fallout Fanatics, which prompts him to walk up to a somewhat overweight fan in the front row, swipe his drink, guzzle a small amount, spit the contents back in the man's face, before dumping the rest of it on his lap. The fan stands up and starts chanting "Pay Day," which only causes the annoyed anti-face to stomp the rest of the way to the ring in a mood of utter disgust.

Fisher: Nothing, and I do mean nothing that man can do will turn the fans against him!

Mint removes his coat, with several women screaming as he does. The veteran's face actually shows a sign of a smirk for a moment, as he pauses, but it quickly turns back to the same disgusted frown, and he flips the bird to the section the sounds mainly originated from. Just as he does, a big shout of boos erupts from the crowd...you guessed it, since "Survival of the Sickest" starts to play, signaling the entrance of the champ.

Iris: Announcing next, weighing in at two hundred and twenty five pounds, he is YOUR Fallout Openweight Champion, hailing from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, former NCAA All American, the Ace of the Corporate Club, Daniel Neeeeessssss!

As the lights dim, blue spotlights shine along the entranceway. Ness walks out, a confident look apparent on his face, belt slung over his shoulder, as he walks straight to the ring, stepping through the ropes, and staring his opponent in the eye, as he hands the belt over to Iris, as she steps out of the ring.

*Bell Rings*

Mint adjusts his tights, before closing in for a tie-up with Ness. Mint powers Ness back for a moment, but doesn’t gain much advantage, as the technically proficient Openweight champion spins out of the grapple into a standing wristlock. Before Mint can reverse the simple hold, Ness steps over the arm, spinning around, and takes his opponent to the mat in a variation on the La Magistral cradle…

…Sylvain Mint kicks out! Ness snaps to his feet, with a clear look of shock and anger on his face.

[Yoko Satoshi]

Bardo: I think he just realized that Mint isn’t going to hand him the match on a silver platter.

Before Ness can decide what to do, Mint doubles him over with a punch to the gut, standing up, and hitting a scoop slam on his fellow Corporate Club member.

Pred: Traitor! That wasn…

Fisher: What? Are you saying that he was supposed to just give Ness the win, and pad his record here?

Pred: Ha!

Fisher: You clearly were going to say that he wasn’t supposed to kick out!

Pred: And double ha! What I was going to say is no business for an inferior being like you, but Predator is a kind and merciful man to those who look up to him, so I’ll tell you, I was actually just thinking back about how Rena Matheson left this company to go back to ACW…

Bardo: Can we get back to the match, please?

Since we're following Bardo's advice, it's back to the action. Mint rebounds off the ropes, going for an elbow drop. Ness quickly rolls out of the way, avoiding impact, and goes for one of his own. Mint gets up and out of the way, running off the ropes, and blasts his opponent off his feet with a leaping lariat on the return. Ness kips up from the impact just as Mint gets up, catching him in a side headlock takedown, but Mint manages to almost immediatly escape with a headscissors. The Corporate Ace easily gets out of the basic move, once again taking Mint down with a headlock. Sylvain Mint, though, not only counters with a headscissors, but manages to keep Ness down by breaking the scissors early, only to drop a raised heel on his opponent's face. Pay Day maintains the momentum by continuing the offence, firing away with right hands from a mounted position. Referee Jacob Jones tries to pull Mint off, but only catches an elbow to the jaw, as the challenger continues to pummel his fellow Corporate Club member.

Bardo: This is by far the most fired up I have ever seen Mint. The first time, in fact, that I've seen him in Fallout, and he's actually wanted to put up a real fight in the ring, rather than just collect a paycheck.

Fisher: The title is certainly a motivator for him in this case! And woah, Nelly! I think he just busted Ness open with those punches!

Sure enough, a trickle of blood starts to flow from the Openweight champ's forehead, as Mint now shifts his attack to grab his opponent by the scalp of the head, repeatedly slamming the back of his head into the mat, yelling each time Ness's head hits the mat. Jacob Jones finally gets back up from catching the loose elbow, and practically tackles Mint off his opponent.

Fisher: He's so violent, that I think it took Daniel Ness majorly off guard!

Sylvain Mint immediatly shoves the referee, who seems rather less than pleased by having his authority so blatantly disrespected, walking back up to Mint, and returning the shove. The fans boo. Mint, in response, throws the referee over the top rope, with the fans approving, and goes back to Daniel Ness. The Corporate Ace, though, has recovered by this point, and nearly knocks Mint straight out with a running back elbow to the jaw. Ness picks his stunned opponent off the mat in a rear waistlock, quickly backing up over to the corner, and launches Mint into the turnbuckle with a release German suplex. As Pay Day stumbles out of the corner, he's caught by a boot to the gut, and then, a standing double arm powerbomb. Ness goes for a folding pin from the powerbomb, but notices the absence of the referee, at which point he instead decides to rain down right fists onto his opponent, retaliating in part from the earlier barrage he recieved.

Bardo: Ness is nothing, if tenacious. Just like his match with Skurai, he's at his best when the opponent thinks he has him at a disadvantage. I do not think that a single person on Fallout can really control him on offence for too long.

After suitably stunning Mint, Daniel Ness halts the punches, but does not let go of his legs, instead, stepping through his opponent's legs, and crossing them, before leaning forward into a headlock, completing the Lock Ness.

Fisher: It's over, Ness has that dangerous submission hold locked in!

Mint fights to get out, but the pain is excruciating, and he's not able to put up a sufficient enough effort to get out. Ness cranks on the submission further, angered by the mere fact that Mint tried to put up a fight against him. Pay Day quickly fades, his arms drop, and seeing no other way to end the torture...he weakly taps out.

Fisher: Mint taps out, Ness re...wait...Jacob Jones is still on the outside!

[Yoko Satoshi]

An annoyed Daniel Ness heads to the outside, finds Jacob Jones slumped against the ring apron, slaps him in the face, before bringing him back in the ring. Sylvain Mint hasn't moved much, only getting up to one knee, so Ness picks him back up, into a backdrop suplex position, lifting Mint high up in the air, before dropping him neck first onto his knee, with the Dragon Neckbreaker, covering for the pin...

...Mint kicks out! Ness, though, is not deterred, picking his opponent back up, whipping him into the opposite ropes...or at least, he tries, since Mint reverses the hammer throw attempt. Ness runs back off the opposite ropes, and is immediatly caught in a cobra twist/abodominal stretch. Mint swiftly and smoothly takes the hold to the ground, trapping Ness's shoulders to the mat with his signature Pocket Change cradle...

...3!

The fans erupt as one into a massive cheer, and Iris Yoon is hardly audible over the gigantic and instant ovation.

Iris: YOUR WINNER, and NEW FALLOUT OPENWEIGHT CHAMPION....SYLVAIN, "PAY DAY"...MIIIIINNNNNNNT!!!!!

Bardo: That's what happens when you take your opponent too lightly.

Pred: Wha? Excuse me, but did I just see what I think I just saw there?

Fisher: You saw the impossible happen, Sylvain Mint is our new Openweight champion! I can hardly believe it myself!

Pred: Wait, someone made a mistake, both guy's shoulders had to have been touching the mat or something, hell, maybe the referee counted too fast...I don't know, but this didn't just happen!

Bardo: No, it was a clean pin, and a longer than usual count, really. Ness just was trapped. Really. Second time someone just took him totally off guard lately, with Nicholas Alger managing to submit him in a previous, non title match with his leaping triangle hold. They said this match was the result of Ness not wanting to face Alger for the title. Guess that was a mistake.

Soon, both Tony Givens and Tim Dwight are in the ring, with Dwight putting the title around Mint's waist, and Givens hoisting the trophy that comes along with the title. On the outside, Biff Taylor and Craig Lewis console the shocked now-former champion, and ensure that he doesn't snap. Mint, for his part, seems almost as surprised as Ness does, a very rare, true smile breaks out on his face, as he realizes that he managed to pull off a feat that few if any people felt he would or even could accomplish. And we'll leave it at that for this monumental installment of Fallout, with the Fastest Hour on Television ending in an epic manner.

Fade Out

[Dalton]

Dalton would like to point out the discrepancy in Mint's name. His profile says Sylvan, and everytime I see it, it says Sylvain.

Good show, but if Ness or DNA don't kick Mint's ass within the month, heads will roll!
