Respect each peer
Respect each foe more
Attributes stand next to your conscience’s core…
A shot of Randy Orton in the ring, contract in hand, announcing his ultimatum to SmackDown!
We go to another figure sat at a bar, this time with his head bowed. It rises up slowly to show us the intense eyes of Batista. The image flickers, snapping in a quick shot of The Undertaker’s lifeless eyes.

Respect each day
Actions reveal your character in every way…
A shot of Batista receiving a Chokeslam from The Undertaker a few weeks ago, followed by the footage of their recent brawl on SmackDown! with the lights flashing on and off behind.
We go to yet another darkened bar, where a man nurses a drink, all alone in the corner of the room, with one hand clutching his face. The camera looks over his shoulder, at the reflection of his face in the glass … and we see the sad eyes of Matt Hardy.
Narrator:
Respect each creature
Respect each beast
Trust unveils truth hidden behind nature’s mist…
A shot of Matt Hardy standing up to JBL following the destruction of Ric Flair, ultimately leading to Hardy’s own destruction on Friday, where the footage of his bloody face flickers in the darkness.

Walk into each day…
A small man at a table turns his head to reveal the masked face of Rey Mysterio, eyes blazing.
Narrator:
With your heart soaked in hope and joy…
Shot of Kennedy and Booker T assaulting Mysterio.
In the darkened bar, two men sit opposite each other, wary expressions on their faces. The camera looks over the first man’s shoulder to see the face of Ken Kennedy, before panning around to show us Booker T!
Narrator:
As day fades and night endures…
The champagne flows from the bottle, as one man slides a $100 bill across the bar and holds his glass up high for all to see. John Bradshaw Layfield smiles through the darkness.
John Bradshaw Layfield:
Matt Hardy … ‘son’ … Ric Flair learned it … and now it’s your turn. NEVER poke your nose in the business of JBL … NEVER poke your nose into the business of a WRESSSSLIIINGGG GAWWWWWDDD!!!!
Shot of JBL putting Flair out of action at the Royal Rumble!

And now SmackDown! Presents…
NO WAY OUT!!!
*Pyro*
*Pyro*
*Pyro*
*Pyro*
*Pyro*
The crowd goes wild as the theme music for No Way Out, ‘Deadly Game’ by Theory Of A Deadman, plays throughout the arena. We quickly cut over to the SmackDown! announce team of Michael Cole and Tazz.
Michael Cole:
Hello, everybody and welcome to one of the biggest SmackDown pay-per-views of all time. Welcome to Baltimore! Welcome to No … Way … Out!!!
Tazz:
Oh man, what a night it’s gonna be, Cole. Every match on the card is a must see, and I can’t wait!
Michael Cole:
That’s right, we’re going to see young Matt Hardy in the biggest match of his life as he goes one-on-one with the former WWE Champion and the man who took Out Ric Flair. Matt Hardy finally gets his shot at JBL!
Tazz:
But that’s not all. The WWE Tag Team titles are on the line, as MNM defend against the most exciting team I’ve ever seen in Paul London and Brian Kendrick. Also tonight, a very pissed off Bobby Lashley takes on Finlay, and Mister Randy Orton looks to hold SmackDown! to ransom!
Michael Cole:
Amazing! But that’s not even the biggest thing tonight, as for the first time EVER we will see the legend, one of the greatest of all time, The Undertaker take on one of the most popular and dominant Champions there ever has been, “The Animal” Batista!!! That’s right, The Undertaker and Batista, first time ever, the World Heavyweight Championship on the line! TONIGHT!!!
Tazz:
Oh baby, I cannot wait for that one. But it looks as though Baltimore is ready, Cole. Let’s hand over to my man Tony Chimel in the ring!
Indeed we do cut right into the ring, where the announcer Tony Chimel is waiting with his microphone in hand.
Tony Chimel:
The opening contest is the Kid Kash Cruiserweight Open! Now, ladies and gentlemen, earlier today the superstars drew numbers to determine their entrance in this match. Number one and number two will start; once a superstar is defeated, another one will enter. This will continue until we have a final winner and he will be the Cruiserweight Champion of the World!!!
***Trailer Park Trash*** The crowd gives an impressive reaction for the rough and tough Cruiserweight, JAMIE NOBLE, who strides down the ramp quickly, wasting little time. He appears slightly annoyed at drawing such an early number, but seems to not be letting it faze him, as he slides into the ring and jumps up and down on the spot.
Tony Chimel:
Introducing first, from Hanover, West Virginia … weighing in at 202 pounds … JAMIE NOBLE!!!
Michael Cole:
Well, Jamie Noble must be cursing his luck right about now. After what we saw on Friday night, how impressive Noble looked, I had him down as one of the favourites. But he faces an uphill struggle with this draw.
Tazz:
No doubt, Cole. Noble is one tough S.O.B, but I doubt even he can make it through this.
***Rising Sun*** As always, the crowd gives the veteran Cruiserweight FUNAKI a nice pop, as the Japanese star races out onto the stage in his usual ‘SmackDown!’ attire, trying to fire up the fans. He finally calms down and sprints down to the ring, where an unimpressed Noble waits with hands on hips.
Tony Chimel:
And from Tokyo, Japan … weighing in at 180 pounds … FUNAKI!!!
Michael Cole:
Bad luck for the veteran Funaki, but he won’t let this dampen his spirits.
Tazz:
Ha ha, Funaki doesn’t let anything do that, Cole, and he has a HUGE chance tonight.
The Kid Kash Open Invitational:
Cruiserweight Championship:
Kid Kash © vs. Funaki vs. Shannon Moore vs. Juventud vs. Scotty Too Hotty vs. Nunzio vs. Jamie Noble
Funaki jumps around in the ring, pumping himself up for the contest, whilst Jamie Noble appears much more focused, having not yet taken his eyes off of the plucky Japanese athlete. Referee Jim Korderas asks both men if they are ready, to which they both respond with a careful nod, as Funaki hurls his vest into the crowd. The official calls for the bell, and the opening contest of No Way Out is underway!
Cautiously, the two men approach each other, arms outstretched perhaps in search of a collar and elbow tie up. They lock up like bulls in the centre of the ring, jostling for position, but Funaki quickly shoves Noble away, rubbing his jaw, before locking up for a second time. This time, Noble quickly drops down and takes Funaki down with a double leg takedown, before pouncing on top of him for a quick cover. 1 … NO! Funaki shoves Noble off the top of him, and scrambles back up to his feet. But Noble is up straight away once again, grabbing Funaki’s legs and taking the Japanese high flier down. Noble holds onto Funaki’s legs, but the Japanese star quickly kicks the rough and tough grappler away.
Both men spring up furiously and race into yet another collar and elbow tie up, this time with Noble getting the advantage and muscling Funaki into the corner. The referee tries to count Noble out, but he does not even have to, as Noble backs off quickly, before driving his shoulder right into the gut of his Japanese opponent, who doubles over in pain. Pressing his advantage, Noble flattens Funaki back against the turnbuckle, rears back, and delivers a searing CHOP right across the naked chest! The crowd “OOOOS”, as Funaki gasps, gritting his teeth in pain, and staggers out of the corner.
Noble grabs hold of Funaki’s arm and goes for the Irish Whip across the ring, but the Japanese star reverses it, sending Noble crashing spine first into the opposite corner. Noble bounces out, and Funaki catches him with a HIP TOSS, from which Noble rebounds back up to his feet almost on instinct, before walking straight into a beautiful ARM DRAG, followed by a second one! After the second one, Funaki holds onto Noble’s left arm, cinching in the arm lock on the canvas.
Noble grimaces in pain, but swings away wildly with his other arm, even managing to force Funaki up to his feet, though still with the arm lock in place. Noble swings himself around, driving his knee straight into the gut of his opponent, breaking the hold and doubling Funaki over. After rolling his shoulder around gingerly, Noble takes a handful of Funaki’s hair and leads him over to the corner, where he attempts to drive the Japanese stars face into the turnbuckle … but Funaki blocks it, and instead throws Noble into the padding headfirst!
Noble reels in the corner, as Funaki spins him around and drills him with a sharp right hand, rocking the rough and tough Virginian. Taking Noble by the arm, Funaki attempts to shoot him across the ring with an Irish Whip, but Noble stops himself, reversing it and pulling Funaki in, where Noble ducks underneath the Japanese star’s arm and nails a SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Noble jumps back up to his feet quickly, shaking the cobwebs out of his head, before putting a quick boot right to the skull of Funaki, keeping the Japanese man grounded.
Dragging Funaki back to his feet, Noble lifts him up and nails a SCOOP SLAM right next to the corner, slamming Funaki onto his spine. Pressing his advantage, Noble quickly leaps up to the second turnbuckle, balancing himself and leaping off with a SENTON SPLASH … but Funaki moves! Noble crashes and burns, clutching at his lower spine wildly, as both he and Funaki clamber back up to their feet. Noble gingerly stands up and turns around, right into a stinging right hand to the jaw.
Funaki rocks Noble with a series of blows, backing the Virginian against the ropes, before shooting him across the ring with an Irish Whip. Noble hits the opposite set of ropes and rebounds right back, allowing Funaki to catch him with a huge BACK BODY DROP up into the lights, dropping Noble down hard. Once again. Noble almost instinctively bounces back up to his feet, but Funaki comes off the ropes and takes his head off with a huge FLYING FOREARM! Funaki springs back up to his feet and bounces on his toes, trying to get the crowd behind him, which they are to an extent, but more so with Noble.
Pulling the young Virginian back to his feet, Funaki quickly hurls him into the corner with a short Irish Whip, before charging in and catching Noble with a HIGH KNEE to the face. Funaki backs off and sprints into the ropes, as Noble staggers out of the corner. Funaki charges in … and Noble counters with a SNAP POWERSLAM out nowhere! He hooks the leg. 1 … 2 … NO! Funaki kicks out quite laboriously, forcing Noble off of him.
After giving the referee Jim Korderas a quick, frustrated glance, Noble brings Funaki back up to his feet and positions the Japanese athlete’s head between his leg, before getting both arms in a double underhook, perhaps setting up for the TIGER DRIVER … but Funaki grabs both of Noble’s legs and takes him down with a double leg. Positioning Noble opposite the corner, Funaki rolls backwards, catapulting Noble into the turnbuckle face first!
Having connected with the padding hard, Noble rebounds out and staggers into the centre of the ring. Funaki sees his chance and quickly comes off the ropes, catching Noble with a RUNNING BULLDOG in the centre of the ring! Funaki is back on his feet right away once again, whilst Noble lies in a prone state on the canvas. Funaki bounds around the ring like a mad man, seemingly wasting time, as he plays to the crowd and anticipates his opponent. Noble slowly makes it up to one knee, and Funaki grabs him by the head, helping him up … but Noble drives his knee into Funaki’s gut quickly!
Funaki almost falls over, as he doubles up, but Noble quickly takes hold of his arm and sends him into the corner with an Irish Whip. Funaki hits the turnbuckle hard, and Noble quickly charges in, only for Funaki to get a boot up, catching the Virginian right in the chest. With Noble reeling, Funaki quickly takes hold of his head an kips backwards up to the second turnbuckle, signalling for a TORNADO DDT, but Noble spins out of it and delivers a stinging CHOP right across Funaki’s chest, causing him to sit down on the top turnbuckle.
Noble rears back once again and slugs Funaki across the throat with a brutal KNIFE EDGE CHOP that actually knocks the Japanese veteran tumbling off the top rope, bouncing off the apron and to the floor below! The crowd gives Noble a slightly mixed reaction for his brutal offence, but he seems to show no remorse, and is all business, as he ignores Jim Korderas and climbs to the outside. He grabs Funaki by the hair and pulls him back to his feet, but Funaki slugs him in the gut with a knee of his own. Noble slumps down to a knee, and Funaki quickly jumps up onto the apron, before leaping off with a CROSSBODY … but Noble catches him! Noble throws Funaki up onto his shoulders and … FIREMAN’S CARRY DOUBLE KNEE GUTBUSTER on the outside!!!
The crowd “OOOOS” at the surprise move out of nowhere, as Funaki crashes and burns on the floor, and Noble slowly gets back up to his feet, still with that business-like expression on his face. The referee is still threatening to count them both out, so Noble drags a nearly lifeless Funaki back up to his feet and rolls him back into the ring under the bottom rope. Funaki does not seem to have much fight left in him, as he barely makes it up onto his hands and knees. Noble comes up quickly behind him and pounces on him, applying the DRAGON CLUTCH!!!
Funaki fights as best he can, but Noble rolls backwards, wrapping his legs around the Japanese veteran’s small body ferociously in the body scissors and cinching in the Dragon Clutch. Funaki is desperate for breath, and flails his arms around wildly, searching for the ropes, but they are too far away. He stretches out, fingers searching and …

ELIMINATION: FUNAKI @ 03:01
***California High*** The crowd gives another pleasant pop, as the enigmatic and unusual SHANNON MOORE jogs to the ring, hoping to make good on his big chance to shine tonight, with a title shot in hand.
Noble backs off a little in the ring, nodding in a show of respect for his new opponent, who slides into the ring and removes his long necklace, handing it to the referee, before turning to Noble. The two men begin to circle one another slowly, arms outstretched, although Noble is obviously breathing slightly heavier than the newcomer. Moore reaches out for a test of strength, but Noble drills him in the gut with a stiff gut, doubling the youngster over, before delivering some clubbing blows across Moore’s spine in that typical Pitbull fashion!
The Virginian brims with intensity, as he takes hold of the “Prince of Punk’s” arm and pushes him back against the ropes, going for the Irish Whip. Moore reverses it though, and sends Noble bouncing off the ropes. Dropping to his stomach, Moore forces Noble to skip over him and come off the other ropes … before Moore nails a smacking DROPKICK right to Noble on the way back! Noble staggers back up to his feet, clutching his jaw in agony, and Moore lifts him up, nailing an INVERTED ATOMIC DROP, before taking Noble’s head off with a SINGLE LEG LARIAT! With Noble flat on his back, Moore pounces on top of him with a lateral press, looking for a quick win. 1 … 2 … NO! Noble quickly kicks out, shoving Moore away from him, and rolling out of the ring to recover.
Noble rolls his shoulder around slowly, still feeling the effects of the previous bout with Funaki. Back in the ring, Shannon Moore plays to the crowd a little, showing his youthful rashness. Noble approaches the ring apron, and Moore bounces off the ropes, looking for a BASEBALL SLIDE, but Noble sidesteps the manoeuvre and drags Moore to the outside, delivering a stiff boot to the mid section. Moore doubles over, and Noble tries to drive his face into the apron, but the “Prince of Punk” blocks it, and instead slams Noble’s head against the apron, before rolling the tough Virginian back into the ring.
Whilst Noble tries to recover and get back up to his feet, Moore quickly ascends to the top turnbuckle with his arms up high, before flying off with a CROSSBODY … but Noble brings Moore crashing down on his knees! The crowd “OOOOS” at the crash and burn from Moore, who rolls around on the canvas in agony, clutching at his abdomen, whilst Noble regains his senses. Noble backs off slowly, before dropping a forearm right across the ribs of the young high flier, really zoning in on the injured area.
Grabbing hold of both of Moore’s legs, Noble turns him over onto his stomach and applies an ELEVATED BOSTON CRAB, pressing his knee right into the spine for extra leverage. Moore flaps about in pain, stretching out his gangly arms in search of the bottom rope, whilst Noble grimaces with the exertion he is applying. Moore stretches out in desperation … AND GRABS THE BOTTOM ROPE!
The referee forces Noble to finally release the hold, but it seems as though sufficient damage has indeed been done to the ribs of Shannon Moore. Noble brings Moore back up to his feet and goes for a right hand, but Moore blocks it and delivers a right of his own, rocking the former Cruiserweight Champion. Moore unloads with a flurry of shots to his opponent, but Noble quickly drives a knee right into the gut of the youngster, stopping him dead. Noble shakes the cobwebs from his head, before swinging for a huge right hand, which Moore ducks and nails a NECKBREAKER!
The move comes completely out of nowhere, and Noble goes down hard clutching at his head. Moore is in trouble though as well it seems, as he rubs his ribs painfully, before struggling back up to his feet. He waits, poised, as Noble stands up and turns around, before knocking him back down with a CLOTHESLINE. Noble bounces back up from the canvas in a daze, and Moore shoots him into the ropes with an Irish Whip, before nailing him on the way back with a SPINNING HEEL KICK!
The crowd is seemingly getting quite behind Moore’s sudden flurry, as drags Noble up once more and tries to Irish Whip him into the corner. Noble reverses it though, sending Moore towards the corner, but the “Prince of Punk” suddenly springs up onto the second turnbuckle with tremendous agility and leaps off with a FLYING CROSSBODY onto Noble! The referee makes the count. 1 … 2 … NO! Noble kicks out desperately once again, looking rather shocked by this onslaught.
Noble scrambles back up to his feet, but Moore takes him right back down with a DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN, holding both of Noble’s legs up, before leaping up and connecting with a JUMPING LEGDROP! Moore quickly makes a hook of the leg! 1 … 2 … NO! Noble shows his true grit and kicks out yet again, frustrating the young Shannon Moore. The “Prince of Punk” pulls Noble back up to his feet and turns him over in search of another NECKBREAKER, but Noble counters and shoves Moore into the corner. Moore halts himself and catches Noble with a stiff elbow to the face as he runs in. Trying to take advantage, Moore leaps up onto the second turnbuckle and jumps backwards, but Noble catches him in an Electric Chair, before slamming him down to the canvas with an ELECTRIC CHAIR DROP!
The crowd “OOOS” as Shannon Moore crashes and burns on his already hurting ribs. Noble does not even think about going for the cover it seems, as he drags the lifeless Moore back up to his feet and positions his head between his legs. Noble gets him in the double underhook on both arms, before going for the TIGER DRIVER … AND HE HITS IT!!! Noble makes the cover!!!

ELIMINATION: SHANNON MOORE @ 03:56 (06:57)
***No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn*** A fairly drab reaction from the crowd leaning towards the positive, as the “Pugnacious Pisant” NUNZIO comes racing down the ramp doing the ‘fangul’ taunt, clearly still angry at being pinned by Noble on SmackDown!
Nunzio slides right into the ring under the bottom rope, whilst Jamie Noble is standing in the centre with his hands on his hips, still with a look of concentration on his face. Dropping down quickly, Nunzio tries to take Noble by surprise with a double leg takedown, but Noble manages to hold on. Nunzio suddenly drops down onto his knees and takes Noble over with a Fireman’s Carry, before rolling across him and getting a waist lock on the slightly larger Virginian. Noble rolls across the canvas, trying to break Nunzio’s hold, but the little Italian holds on, schooling Noble in the art of mat wrestling it seems.
Noble finally manages to regain his footing, and powers his way back up to his feet, where he wrenches himself free of Nunzio’s hold and staggers away. Noble looks vaguely annoyed by the treatment he just received from Nunzio, but quickly shakes his head to regain some focus. Smirking, Nunzio taps the side of his head, taunting his opponent. Wasting no more time, Noble rushes in furiously, but Nunzio performs a quick sidestep and takes Noble down with a SIDE HEADLOCK TAKEDOWN.
The anger is clear on Noble’s face once again, as he is bested technically by the Italian. Nunzio grins as he applies the pressure, but Noble is quickly able to fight himself back up to a vertical base, though still in the side headlock. Noble drives his elbow into the ribs of Nunzio over and over again, loosening the little Italian’s grip enough, so that Noble can shove him right into the turnbuckle, which he hits with a thud. Nunzio staggers out backwards, and Noble rushes up behind him, grabbing him and hurling him over with a RELEASE GERMAN SUPLEX! He hooks the leg. 1 … 2 … NO! A desperate kick out to avoid a fast defeat from Nunzio.
Noble shakes his head a little, before quickly jumping back up to his feet and racing off the ropes, dropping a quick SNAP LEG DROP across the throat and chest of Nunzio, followed by another hook of the leg. 1 … 2 … NO! The Italian refuses to die so easily, but he is given no time whatsoever to recover, as Noble yanks him back up by the hair … but Nunzio slugs him in the gut with a stiff right hand!
Noble is rocked momentarily, as Nunzio unloads on him with a flurry of blows. He goes for a big shot to the jaw, but Noble ducks and goes for a NECKBREAKER … but Nunzio spins around and shoves him into the ropes. Noble comes flying back and Nunzio hits him with a stiff CLOTHESLINE, taking him down. Noble staggers back up to his feet dazedly, and Nunzio bounces off the ropes, wiping the Virginian out with a FLYING FOREARM! Noble rebounds off the canvas once again and walks right into a charging Nunzio who leaps up and connects with a TILT THE WHIRL HEADSCISSORS, sending Noble crashing down! Nunzio drives his forearm across Noble’s face for a cover. 1 … 2 … NO! Noble kicks out!
Really pumping himself up now, Nunzio drags Noble back to his feet and shoots him off into the corner with an Irish Whip. Noble hits the corner hard, and Nunzio races in wildly, only for Noble to catch the Italian in mid air and seat him on the top turnbuckle. Noble spins around and goes for a right hand, but Nunzio slaps him away brutally, before leaping off and nailing Noble with FLYING FRONT MISSILE DROPKICK! He covers Noble yet again. 1 … 2 … No! Noble kicks out angrily yet again.
Nunzio scowls at the referee, but quickly gets Noble back up to his feet, but the Virginian breaks out of the grip and goes for a right hand … BUT NUNZIO CATCHES HIM WITH A BACKSLIDE! 1 … 2 … NO! Noble kicks out, as the crowd gasps in shock! Nunzio rakes his fingers through his hair having almost picked up the surprise pin there, and he pulls Noble up again, but Noble spins the little Italian around and shoves him into the ropes. Nunzio come flying back … right into a LEG LARIAT to the face! Noble drops down into the cover. 1 … 2 … NO! Nunzio just rolls his shoulder up, but it seems as though Noble has stepped into another gear.
With Nunzio virtually helpless after the kick to the face, Noble sees his opportunity and picks him up onto his shoulders … BUT NUNZIO SUDDENLY COUNTERS INTO A SUNSET FLIP!

Noble kicks out in shock, rolling backwards in a backwards roll of sorts, as Nunzio staggers back up too. Noble viciously kicks the “Pugnacious Pisant” in the gut and lifts him up over his shoulders … AND HITTING THE FIREMAN’S CARRY DOUBLE KNEE GUTBUSTER!!!! Noble rolls over with the cover, hooking the far leg, as the crowd is in awe of this Cruiserweight dominance!!!

ELIMINATION: NUNZIO @ 03:18 (10:15)
***Turn It Up*** The crowd gives a nice pop for the veteran SCOTTY TOO HOTTY, who comes down the ramp looking slightly less excited than usual, having witnessed the dominance of Jamie Noble.
Scotty leaps up onto the apron, seeing that Noble is only just getting back up to his feet, and climbs to the top rope. Noble shakes his head and turns around slowly … AND SCOTTY LEAPS OFF WITH A FLYING CROSSBODY … AND CONNECTS … BUT NOBLE ROLLS THROUGH … AND APPLIES THE DRAGON CLUTCH!!! Scotty fights like a mad man, as Noble roars with intensity, as he cinches in the deadly submission, with which he made Scotty’s partner, Funaki, submit to earlier. There is nowhere at all for Scotty to go, trapped in the centre of the ring as he is, reaching for the far way ropes. The crowd is buzzing for this incredible display for Noble, despite Scotty usually being such a fan favourite. He makes one final reach for the ropes, holding out his hand and …

ELIMINATION: SCOTTY TOO HOTTY @ 00:34 (10:49)
***Muy Loco*** The crowd pops for the arrival of the first Mexicool of the evening, as the former Cruiserweight Champion, JUVENTUD, races down to the ring, showing no intimidation towards Jamie Noble, and not even bothering with the Juan Deere tonight.
Wasting no time whatsoever, Juventud slides straight into the ring and attacks the recovering Noble with an onslaught of right hands, pounding away on the man wildly. Juvy tries to back Noble against the ropes with his flurry, but Noble mounts a comeback, exploding with his own right hands, as well as some stinging chops, backing the Mexicool all the way across the ring and into the ropes. Noble takes Juvy by the arm and shoots him across the ring with an Irish Whip … BUT JUVY COMES FLYING BACK WITH A RUNNING DROPKICK!
Juventud dives on top of Noble, but instead of going for the cover, he just hammers down the right hands furiously, even drawing some heat from the crowd. Juvy looks around, quite surprised by such a reaction, but dismisses it quickly, as he pulls Noble back up and forces him into the corner, where he continues the onslaught of right hands and chops. Taking Noble by the arm, he goes for the Irish Whip across the ring, but Noble is able to reverse it and sends the Mexican into the corner. Noble charges in rashly, only to get a boot to the face from Juvy, knocking the tough Virginian away.
Noble clutches at his face, feeling the effects of the blow, and Juventud sprints out of the corner, connecting with a TWIRLING HEADSCISSORS to Noble, flipping him over once again, taking him for the ride! Noble staggers back up to his feet, almost on instinct, but a fired up Juvy drops him back down with a brutal CLOTHESLINE! Looking punch drunk, Noble clambers back up once again, and Juventud leaps up, nailing a HURRICANRANA! He follows it up with a quick hook of the leg! 1 … 2 … NO! Noble kicks out hurriedly.
Before Noble can even move again, Juvy pounces onto his arm and applies the ARM LOCK, the exact place that Funaki targeted earlier, causing Noble to cry out in pain. Noble tries to wriggle out of it on his stomach, and even forward rolls away, but Juventud keeps it locked in, holding him down. Noble struggles, a tired grimace across his face, and he goes for a backward roll this time, managing to roll up onto his feet. He swings around and slugs Juvy in the face, breaking the hold.
As Juventud backs into the ropes clutching his jaw, Noble rotates his left arm and shoulder gingerly, before continuing he onslaught. He rakes a terrific chop across the bare chest of the Mexicool, to terrific “OOOOS” from the fans, before shooting him off into the ropes with an Irish Whip. Stopping himself from coming back, Juvy grabs hold of the top rope and stays. Gritting his teeth in frustration, Noble sprints towards him … BUT JUVY BACK DROPS NOBLE OVER THE TOP ROPE TO THE FLOOR BELOW!!!
The crowd is almost split between the two superstars now, as Juventud continues his rapid paced assault. On the outside, a dazed Jamie Noble struggles back up to his feet, holding both his chest and his arm in agony, whilst Juvy waits in the ring with both hands on the top rope … BEFORE LAUNCHING HIMSLEF OVER AND ONTO NOBLE WITH A PLANCHA!!!
The crowd EXPLODES for the suicidal manoeuvre, as both Cruiserweights roll around in pain on the concrete floor. Obviously, it is Juventud who begins to stir first, using the crowd barricade to help pull himself back to his feet. Noble begins to do the same but using the ring apron. Juvy comes up behind Noble and slugs him hard across the back of the head, before grabbing a handful of hair and trying to throw him into the Steel Ring Post, but Noble blocks and shoves Juvy into the post instead, which his arm smacks into brutally!
Juventud lets out a cry of pain, as he stumbles backwards clutching at his shoulder, but Noble races up behind him, exposing the arm of the Mexicool, and hurling it straight back into the steel! The crowd lets out a slight “OOOO” as the sound of flesh smacking steel reverberates around the arena. The pit bull like Jamie Noble still seemingly has the crowd behind him, as he hurls Juvy back into the ring under the bottom rope. Grabbing Juventud’s injured left arm, Noble drags it towards the ring post … BEFORE WRAPPING IT AROUND THE STEEL!
Juvy screams out in absolute agony, but Noble shows no relent, as he continues on his intense attack, sliding back into the ring and dragging the Mexican to his feet. Noble folds Juventud’s arm behind his back and lifts him up, before plating him with a SCOOP SLAM! Juvy can barely register the pain in his arm, as Noble drops on top of him with a cover. 1 … 2 … NO! Juvy kicks out defiantly, but Noble does not seem to let it faze him, as he quickly takes hold of the Mexican’s arm and delivers a series of smacking kicks to the injured ****t, before applying the ARM LOCK!
Noble cinches it in furiously, his eyes glazing over in intensity, as he looks to eliminate his fifth competitor of the evening. He grabs hold of Juventud’s hair and wrenches his head back, delivering some stiff crossfaces to the Mexican’s jaw with viciousness. Juvy wriggles around desperately, gasping from the pain being inflicted on his arm and shoulder. He reaches out with one of his free arms and manages to grab hold of the bottom rope, causing Noble to reluctantly release the hold.
Noble does not let it faze him though, as he drags Juvy back up and charges with him across the ring … BEFORE HURLING HIM SHOULDER FIRST INTO THE STEEL RING POST! The crowd “OOOOS” at the sickening smack, as Juvy lets out a cry of pain, and Noble pulls him back up in the corner, before delivering a ripping KNIFE EDGE CHOP right across the chest of the Mexican.
Taking the Mexicool by the arm, Noble goes for the Irish Whip, but Juventud reverses it and sends Noble flying across the ring into the opposite corner. Noble hits the turnbuckle hard and Juvy races in immediately, nailing the Virginian with a stiff CORNER CLOTHESLINE! Noble rocks dazedly on his feet, but Juvy gives him no time to recover, pulling on his arm for another Irish Whip across the ring, but Noble reverses it and sends Juvy into the corner. Juventud tries to spring off the top turnbuckle and lock his legs around Noble’s head, perhaps for a HEADSCISSORS … but Juvy’s arm gives way, and he crashes down to the canvas.
Noble follows up on the Mexican, as Juventud rolls around on the mat clutching his arm. Noble drags him back up, folding the Mexicool’s wounded arm behind his back again, before nailing him down with another SCOOP SLAM, following it up with a cover. 1 … 2 … NO! Juvy kicks out desperately, and Noble gives the referee a quick glance, before pulling Juvy back up and delivering a SCOOP SLAM RIGHT ACROSS HIS KNEE, this time putting even more hurt to the Mexican’s arm. He hooks the leg. 1 …2 … NO! Yet again, Juventud rolls his shoulder up.
Noble appears to be getting quite frustrated now, though showing amazing signs of his stamina still. He begins to pull Juventud back up to his feet … but Juvy explodes with a KNIFE EDGE CHOP! Noble staggers backwards in utter shock, as Juvy comes at him with a great flurry of chops, knocking the Virginian all the way back into the far corner. Taking Noble by the arm, Juvy shoots him across the ring with an Irish Whip into the opposite corner, before racing after him, but Noble sticks his boot up in Juvy’s face.
Noble quickly springs up onto the second turnbuckle and leaps off with an AXE HANDLE SMASH, but Juventud ducks and Noble flies over the top of him, landing on his feet. Juvy spins around and Noble nails a SCOOP SLAM, positioning the Mexican right in front of the turnbuckle. Noble hurries up the turnbuckle, wasting no time whatsoever, and flies over with DIVING LEG DROP … BUT JUVY GETS HIS KNEES UP! Noble crashes and burns on Juvy’s knees, and rolls around in agony clutching his lower body.
With Noble down, Juvy clambers back up to his feet, throwing his arms up in an attempt to get the crowd behind him. He heads over towards Noble and attacks him with a flurry of vicious KNIFE EDGE CHOPS across the chest, backing the Virginian against the ropes. Juvy shoots him off with an Irish Whip, before catching him with a BACK ELBOW on the way back. Noble rebounds back up to his feet quickly, and Juventud comes off the ropes with a FLYING FOREARM, dropping him back down straight away!
Instead of going for the cover, Juvy brings a dazed Noble back up to his feet and shoots him back into the ropes with an Irish Whip, before lowering his head in preparation for a BACK BODY DROP … but Noble counters with a SUNSTET FLIP! 1 …2 … Juvy backward rolls out of it and comes off the ropes, smacking Noble in the face with a cracking RUNNING DROPKICK! Juvy drops down on top of the Virginian for a cover. 1 … 2 … NO! Noble kicks out wildly.
Juvy is moving at a very fast pace now in search of the victory, as he pulls Noble back up to his feet and sends him into the corner with an Irish Whip, before racing in after him. Noble gets his shoulder up, catching Juventud in the face, before quickly nipping up to the top turnbuckle in search of some top rope move … but Juvy nails him with a right hand! Noble is forced to fall down in a seated position on the top turnbuckle, and Juvy quickly scurries up after him, positioning both of them on the top rope, as the crowd buzzes in anticipation … BEFORE JUVY CONNECTS WITH A TOP ROPE HURRICANRANA!!!
The crowd EXPLODES for the huge manoeuvre, as Noble rolls around in agony on the canvas, and Juventud tries desperately to recover on the other side of the ring. The young Mexican crawls across the canvas and manages to hook one of Noble’s legs.

NOBLE HAS HIS FOOT ON THE ROPES! Juvy drops his head in disappointment, as the crowd actually cheers in delight that Noble is still hanging in there. Still roaring with excitement, Juvy springs up to his feet and motions for the crowd to get behind him. He pulls Noble up, but Noble suddenly goes for a kick to the mid section. Juvy catches Noble’s foot and spins him around … BEFORE JUVY LEAPS UP AND CONNECTS WITH A STANDING ENZIGUIRI!!! He hooks the leg again!

Noble kicks out yet again, and the crowd breathes a huge sigh of relief. Juvy rakes his fingers through his long hair in frustration, as he drags Jamie Noble back to his feet. He sets Noble up, before connecting with a NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX … but he does not hold on for the pin, and instead rolls straight through and lifts Noble up for the JUVY DRIVER … but Noble slides off his shoulders and boots the Mexican in the gut. Noble gets Juvy in the double underhook and sets up for the TIGER DRIVER … he gets him up … but Juvy springs over Noble’s head and lands behind him. Noble spins around and Juventud scoops him up … GOES FOR THE JUVY DRIVER … AND HITS IT!!! He makes the cover!

The Mexicool jumps back up to his feet angrily and signals to the crowd that it’s all over, before dragging Noble into position, and climbing up the turnbuckle. Juvy positions himself on the top turnbuckle, hands up high … BEFORE FLYING OFF WITH THE 450 SPLASH … BUT NOBLE MOVES AND JUVY CRASHES AND BURNS!!!
Noble scrambles back up to his feet using the ropes, breathing heavily, whilst Juvy does not move, having connected hard with the canvas. Noble quickly drags the lifeless Mexicool to his feet and brings him up looking for the TIGER DRIVER … NAILING IT!!! He covers!!!

ELIMINATION: JUVENTUD @ 09:47 (20:36)
***Bawitdaba*** Despite still being in shock at the utter display of dominance from Noble, the crowd begins to boo the arrival of the defending Cruiserweight Champion KID KASH, who begins to come down the ramp with a very apprehensive gaze on his face.
Just as a ferocious Jamie Noble clambers back up to his feet, Kid Kash slides into the ring and rushes towards the challenger, clobbering him in the jaw with a vicious forearm! Noble staggers, stunned by the blow … but comes right back with a shot of his own! Kash reels and Noble quickly snatches him in a rear waist lock, tying the Champ up in the middle of the ring. Kash writhes around, but Noble lifts him up in the waist lock and dumps him onto the canvas, riding the “Notorious K.I.D” with tremendous skill. Rocking from side to side, Kash manages to roll back onto his feet and staggers over towards the ropes, which he grabs hold of in an attempt to get Noble to release him.
Noble refuses to do so though, maintaining the waist lock and dragging Kash away from the ropes, hurling him back down to the canvas to ride him again. Frantically, Kash rolls on his hips and gets back up to his feet, trying to force his way out of the predicament. Swinging backwards, he catches Noble in the jaw with an elbow, rocking the Virginian, before quickly turning the tables on him, swinging around and getting Noble in the rear waist lock! Kash quickly brings Noble up in a GERMAN SUPLEX position and throws him over … but Noble lands on his feet with incredible agility! Kash spins around wildly, and Noble catches him with an INSIDE CRADLE! 1 … 2 … NO!
Kash springs out of the pin rapidly, looking more surprised than anything, and leaps into the air with a STANDING ENZIGUIRI … but Noble ducks the first foot and grabs the back foot, taking Kash down onto his stomach, and looking to ride him again … but Kash catches him with a FRONT ROLL UP! 1 … 2 … NO! Noble bursts out of the predicament with a similar expression on his face to Kash, and the two men charge again … but this time Noble drops down and spins behind Kash with a SCHOOL BOY! 1 … 2 … NO! Kash rolls forward with a SINGLE LEG ROLL UP! 1 … 2 … NO! Noble kicks out quickly and rolls to his knees.
Noble jumps up, but Kash suddenly swipes his feet from underneath him and pounces on top for a quick LATERAL PRESS! 1 … 2 … NO! Noble kicks out desperately and lunges back up to his feet, dropping down and swiping Noble’s legs this time, with another cover! 1 …2 … NO! Kash shoves Noble away, and the two men finally jump back up to their feet and stand on opposite sides of the ring, eyes blazing, as the crowd applauds the impressive exchange.
Having been in the ring for over twenty minutes, Noble is breathing slightly harder, whilst Kash just looks around the arena arrogantly, not reciprocating the respect he is getting. Noble’s eyes slowly begin to follow Kash’s gaze to the fans, and the “Notorious K.I.D” spies his chance and rushes at the challenger with a huge right hand swipe, but Noble manages to duck and comes right back at the Champ with a crackling KNIFE EDGE CHOP across the chest! The crowd “OOOOS”, as Kash clutches his burning chest in agony … before coming right back with a thunderous CHOP of his own to Noble! Wincing, the double tough Virginian holds his chest, before connecting with yet another CHOP to Kash! The blow echoes throughout the arena, as Kash’s eyes bulge out from his head … but he quickly comes back with a thumb to the eye!
The crowd boos the tactics of Kash, who sneers in their direction and stalks after Noble, who staggers away towards the ropes, clutching at his eye. Kash takes the Challenger by the arm and goes for the Irish Whip, but Noble manages to block it and fires off his own right hand, knocking the Champ backwards. Noble quickly comes off the ropes and takes Kash down with a hard Shoulder Block, before rushing backwards and coming off the ropes again. Kash rolls over onto his stomach, and Noble looks to skip over him, but Kash trips him with a single leg take down, taking Noble into the middle of the ring. Kash nips back up and sprints back over to Noble, who catches the Champ with a DROP TOE HOLD, smacking his face into the mat!
Kash scurries away quickly in annoyance towards the ropes and holds onto the top one, AS Noble jumps back up to his feet. Angrily “K.I.D” charges towards his final challenger, but Noble manages to LEAP FROG over the top of the Champ, causing Kash to come off the ropes yet again. Noble quickly drops down onto his front and Kash skips over the top of him, coming off the opposite ropes … right into a LEG LARIAT to the face!
The crowd once again shows their appreciation for the athleticism of both men, as Kash goes down hard clutching his face and rolls under the bottom rope to the outside. Not wasting any time, Noble quickly comes off the ropes and charges towards the opposite ones with a BASEBALL SLIDE … but Kash side steps, and Noble lands on his feet on the outside, nailing a KNIFE EDGE CHOP to the back of Kash’s head!
The smack draws “OOOOS” from the crowd, as Kash tries to recover, but instead Noble hurls him backwards into the crowd barrier. Kash hits it spine first and crumples down against the wall, trying to stay on his feet. Getting himself pumped up, Noble rolls back inside the ring, breaking the referee’s count, but suddenly races off the ropes again AND NAILS A SUICIDE DIVE THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE ONTO KASH!!!
The crowd pops HUGE for the incredible maneuver from Jamie Noble, who shows his underrated athleticism. Both men writhe around on the floor outside, with Noble clutching his mid section, and Kash simply lying there. Unsurprisingly it is Noble who clambers back up to his feet first, and drags Kash back up with him. He rolls the Cruiserweight Champion back into the ring under the bottom rope and quickly follows.
Noble grabs a handful of Kash’s hair and brings him up to his feet … but Kash surprises him with a JAWBREAKER! Noble staggers backwards into the centre of the ring, whilst Kash slumps against the ropes to recover. Shaking his head, Noble heads back over to Kash, but the Champ gets his feet up, getting them around the head of Noble in a headscissor position. Noble grabs the legs though and yanks them out, trying to throw Kash into the air … but the Champ lands on his feet! Incredible agility from Kash, which not only shocks the crowd but also Noble, who gets caught by a drop toe hold from Kash, dropping him across the middle rope.
Noble falls away clutching his throat following the rope shot, as Kash slowly raises his arms in the air to heat from the crowd. The “Notorious K.I.D” simply smirks cockily and shakes his head at his fallen opponent. Not allowing his Challenger any time to recover, the Champ puts the boot to Noble with some hard shots, before dragging him back up to his feet. Kash backs Noble against the ropes with some forearm blows, before going for the Irish Whip across the ring, which Noble is able to reverse. Noble goes for the Clothesline, but Kash ducks and sprints off the opposite rope again … right into a SNAP SCOOP POWERSLAM! Noble hooks the leg!

Kash barely kicks out, and the crowd groans in dismay, as does Noble. The two competitors clamber back up to their feet, and Noble slugs the Champ with a right hand … but Kash comes right back with a knee to the gut, doubling Noble over. Kash snarls viciously, as he hammers away on his Challenger, backing him into the corner with right after right. Noble slumps down in the corner, worn out seemingly, and Kash races back in, only to catch an elbow to the face!
The Champ staggers away clutching his jaw and Noble attempts to spring himself up to the top rope for some manoeuvre … but Kash catches his leg, and Noble lands awkwardly on the top rope. Quickly, Kash yanks Noble down in a Tree Of Woe position, before putting the boot to his mid section again and again. Kash smiles sadistically and mounts the second ropes, screaming at the crowd to “Take a good look”, before going to step up to the top turnbuckle … BUT NOBLE SWINGS HIMSELF UP AND GRABS KASH’S WAIST, HURLING HIM OFF THE TOP WITH A MODIFIED GERMAN SUPLEX!!!
Another HUGE explosion from the crowd at the amazing and innovative move from Jamie Noble, who is still trying desperately to free himself from the turnbuckle. Kash lies in a heap in the centre of the ring, eyes blinking upwards in a daze towards the arena lights, as the “Holy Shit” chants reverberate around Baltimore. Noble manages to get his legs free and tumbles down to the canvas, as Kash begins to stir and roll around.
A few “Let’s Go Noble” chants can be heard now from the crowd, as the growing face Jamie Noble pulls on the ropes to find his footing. There is no such support for Kid Kash, who appears to be very dazed, as he stands up, shaking from side to side and clutching the back of his head. He scowls at Noble and suddenly charges towards the Challenger, who ducks down and BACK DROPS the Champ over the top rope and onto the apron, where he poises … but Noble spins around a smacks Kash in the head with a CHOP, knocking the senses out of him!
With some old “Spaghetti legs”, Kash drops down onto the apron, and rolls slowly under the bottom rope back into the ring. Noble catches his breath briefly, before dragging Kash back up to his feet … but Kash drills him with a right hand … so Noble drills him right back … and Kash nails another blow … but Noble goes absolutely wild with shot after shot, spurred on by the crowd, backing the Champ against the ropes!
Taking Kash by the arm, Noble throws him out with an Irish Whip, but the Champ reverses it and sends Noble out instead … but Noble reverses again and brings himself underneath Kash’s arm, lifting the “Notorious K.I.D” up and dropping him right on the back of his head with a BACK SUPLEX! Noble quickly rolls on top for a cover!

Kash kicks out wildly, a look of horror on his face. Noble fumes, but carries on nonetheless, pulling his opponent back up to his feet … but Kash drills him with a knee to the mid section. Roaring like a mad man, Kash tries to hurl Noble over the ropes to the outside, but Noble manages to land on the apron. Kash spins around angrily, and Noble drills him with a shoulder to the gut, before launching himself over the top rope with a SUNSET FLIP PIN!

Kash rolls right through the pinning predicament and shoots himself off the ropes, clattering the still seated Noble in the face with a DROPKICK! He makes a rapid cover! 1 … 2 … NO! Noble kicks out defiantly, not giving at this point when he is so close. Kash drags him back to his feet and goes for the Irish Whip, but Noble is able to reverse it and he lowers his head for the back body drop … and Kash counters, getting his arms in the double underhook position AND NAILING THE MONEY MAKER PILEDRIVER!!! He hooks the far leg, smirking confidently!

NOBLE KICKS OUT! Kash holds his head in his hands and slams his fist against the canvas in anger, staring a hole right through the official. Kash quickly clambers back up to his feet and yells at the cheering fans to “Shut Up”. He signals that it is all over, and waits for Noble to get back up to his feet. Noble stagger back up, looking dazed, and Kash boots him in the gut, before setting him up in a front facelock for the DEAD LEVEL … but Noble spins out of it and catches Kash in the gut, thrusting his head between his legs for the TIGER DRIVER … but this time Kash rolls through and gets him in position for the DEAD LEVEL again … HE GETS NOBLE UP … but Noble drops down behind the Champ and shoves Kash chest first into the turnbuckle!
Kash slumps down in agony, clutching his chest, and Noble stands poised behind him, almost salivating in anticipation. The “Notorious K.I.D” staggers out of the corner and turns around dazedly, right into a boot to the mid section, as Noble puts his head between his legs and goes for the TIGER DRIVER … HE GETS HIM UP … but Kash drops back down … NOBLE GETS HIM BACK UP … but Kash forces himself back down … NOBLE BRINGS HIM UP FOR A THIRD TIME … BUT KASH ROLLS THROUGH WITH A SUNSET FLIP!!!

KASH KICKS OUT BARELY!!! The crowd lets out a gasp of disappointment and excitement, as Noble rolls away in dismay, and Kash hurriedly skirts away as well, darting under the bottom rope and heading right over to the timekeeper’s table, where he grabs hold of the title belt. Angrily, Kash rolls back into the ring, but the referee blocks him straight away and grabs the title belt, dropping it in the corner. Kash turns around wildly, and Noble races towards him. Kash avoids him and sends Noble crashing into the turnbuckle chest first, causing the tough Virginian to crumble away.
Kash glances down at Noble, who is trying to get back to one knee, but instead begins to remove the padding from the top turnbuckle. The crowd boos loudly, as Kash tries to expose the steel, and the official rushes over and snatches the padding away from Kash, warning him to “Cut it out” or he will be disqualified. Kash holds his hands up in innocence and waits for the referee to turn his back to cover up the turnbuckle again, before the Champ picks up the stray Cruiserweight title belt and stands directly behind Noble. The crowd screams in warning, but Noble cannot heed them and turns around … INTO A BELT SHOT TO THE FACE!!!
Quickly, Noble throws the belt to the outside to hide the evidence, as the crowd boos, and he smirks, pointing to his head to show how he outsmarted everyone. Lazily, Kash drops down on top of Noble with a cover, calling for the referee to turn around, which he does!!!

NOBLE GETS A SHOULDER UP!!! Kash sits up immediately, yelling “NO!” The crowd cheers and chants for Noble, who lies on his back, a far away look still in his eyes. Furiously, Kash jumps back up to his feet and drags Noble up by his hair, before applying the front facelock once again and setting him up for the DEAD LEVEL … but Noble is the one who lifts Kash up and carries him over to the corner, where he places the Champ on the top turnbuckle.
Noble rears back and delivers a ripping CHOP right across the chest of Kash, who sits vulnerably on the top turnbuckle, clutching himself in agony. Gingerly, Noble climbs up to the second turnbuckle and gets Kash in position for a TOP ROPE SUPERPLEX … but Kash counters and throws Noble off face first! Noble hits the canvas with his chest and rolls over quickly … AS KASH LEAPS OFF WITH THE DOUBLE JUMP MOONSAULT … AND HITS IT!!! Another hook of the leg!!!

He takes Noble by the arm and goes for the Irish Whip, but Noble manages to reverse it and sends Kash into the corner … BUT KASH SPRINGS UP ONTO THE TURNBUCKLE AND LEAPS OFF WITH THE REBOUNDED CORKSCREW SENTON THAT HE CALLS THE BANK ROLL … but Noble manages to avoid it, and Kash lands on his feet with his back turned … AND NOBLE GRABS HIM IN THE DRAGON CLUTCH!!!
Kash flails wildly, arms and legs flapping, as Noble cinches in choke, and brings him down to the canvas looking to get the body scissors in as well … but Kash flips his body over, pinning Noble’s shoulders to the canvas! Noble still has the Dragon Clutch in place, as the referee drops down!!!

ELIMINATION: JAMIE NOBLE @ 29:58 (29:58)
Winner: Kid Kash @ 29:58
KID KASH RETAINS THE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
The crowd erupts in HUGE heat for the result, as Kid Kash quickly escapes and rolls out of the ring, where he grabs his Cruiserweight Championship belt and holds it closely to himself, whilst the referee raises his hand, and Jamie Noble stands in the ring, a look of utter astonishment on his face.
Tony Chimel:
Here is your winner … AND STILL THE CRUISERWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD … KID KASH!!!
Michael Cole:
Oh my lord!!! What a match up from our Cruiserweight’s here on SmackDown! Jamie Noble just tore it up in that ring for close to forty minutes, but Kid Kash, he – he stole the victory there!!!
Tazz:
That was EVERYTHING that makes the Cruiserweights great. Noble just put on a clinic for over thirty minutes and he’s unlucky not be walking away as Champ! It’s gonna be hard to beat that. What a match, baby, what a match!!!
Kash back up the ramp with his title belt in his arms, staring down at the ring, where Jamie Noble stands, still unable to believe that he is not the Champion after such an effort. A definite look of relief is on the face of Kash, as he seems to know how lucky he was, gazing into the eyes of one of the most impressive wrestlers in a long time: Jamie Noble.
Cut to the backstage area.
