Pre-Show Match. Singles Action! [/u] Two debutants, Jacks Hazard and Mercy, compete to try and make their mark on XWA. Jack and Jack went to a match to see if they'd be winner. Jack fell down, shoulders to ground, and other Jack got the victory. It works if you sing it like "Jack and Jill." Seriously. With everything to prove, only a win will do for these two. [/color] --- Deadline for matches is Friday April 2nd, 2010 11:59pm Central Standard Time - Voting will start at that time and conclude on Sunday April 4th, 2010 11:59pm Central Standard Time.

Jim Johnston's 'No Mercy' plays. Green and purple lights flicker through the arena. After a few seconds, Mercy enters the Xtremetron, stops and lifts his arms to a horizontal position. As he does this one burst of fireworks explode. Mercy then proceeds down the ramp, surveying the crowd and high-fiving his fans.
Mercy reaches the ring. He stops, readies himself and slowly runs up the steps. He then enters the ring and climbs one of the turnbuckles, and poses for the fans. Keri: Introducing first, from New York City. Weighing in at 246lbs. Jack Mercy! The lights in the arena go out. For a few seconds, the crowd await in anticipation. The wait is over when the Xtremetron screen springs to life and shows a picture.
Prodigy's 'Spitfire' starts. The arena is still dark. The music booms around the arena. All that can be seen is the picture on the screen. The main drum beat kicks in, and a dark yellow spotlight appears center stage, revealing Jack Hazard. The spotlight disappears as the lights come back on with a yellow shade, and Jack surveys the crowd, nodding with approval. He sweeps with a point from one side of the crowd to the other, smacks the floor, and makes his way to the ring. Hazard walks down the ramp towards the ring, interacting with the fans, slapping hands and hugging them. Keri: Making his way to the ring, from Manchester, England. Weighing in at 190lbs, the Eastlands Kid, Jack Hazard! He reaches the ring and stops to take a deep breath, before sliding in and climbing up one of the turnbuckles. He once again motions to the crowd with a sweep, causing the side he is facing to cheer. He then makes his way to the opposite turnbuckle and does the same. Hazard then jumps off the turnbuckle, and has a last minute warm-up.
Tickles quickly goes through the rules to the two competitors, before signaling for the bell. Ding ding ding.Hazard instantly goes on the offensive. First with a dropkick, then hits a roundhouse kick and then a Hurricarana. Mercy stumbles back to his feet and Hazard hits a spinning elbow. Hazard shows a shade of inexperience, posing and playing to the crowd. This allows Mercy to get back on his feet, and as Hazard turns back round, Mercy signals a timeout. The pair step back from each other. They both survey each other before locking up in a grapple.
Mercy comes out on top and gets Hazard into a headlock. Hazard tries to free himself with an armbar but Mercy manages to lock Hazard back into the headlock. Mercy then shifts from the lock and hits a german suplex pin.One! Hazard kicks out quickly.
Mercy brings Hazard back on to his feet and hoists him up for a suplex. He holds him in the air for a good few seconds before hitting the suplex and trying for the pin again, once again for the one count.
He goes to pick Hazard up again, but Hazard gets the roll up!One! Two! Mercy kicks out!
Hazard springs back into life and momentum shifts to be on his side. He runs to the rope and dropkicks Mercy in the face. Mercy is now laid out on the canvas. Hazard picks himself up and hits a springboard moonsault, followed by a huge standing shooting star press and goes for the pin.The crowd cheer in appreciation.One! Two! Mercy throws Hazard off. Whilst Mercy regains his footing, Hazard steps on to the outside of the canvas. He springboards off the ropes and flies through the air with a cross body, but is caught by Mercy in mid air and Mercy shows off his clearly superior strength by walking around the ring, before lifting him onto his shoulders. He walks to the nearest rope and throws Hazard over the top. Hazard hits the floor hard.
Mercy climbs the top rope slowly, and waits for Hazard to rise to his feet. Hazard slowly picks himself back up. Hazard notices Mercy is about to jump and springboards off the security barricade and hits Mercy mid flight with a shining wizard. The two crash to the floor and Tickle starts the 10 count. A small Hazard chant builds up. The count is now at 3. The two slowly make their way to their feet as Tickle reaches 7.T he count hits 9 and they both roll back into the ring, and make their way to their feet. Mercy manages to get up first, stumbling over to Hazard and hits the double arm DDT. He struggles for the pin. One! Two! Hazard gets his foot on the rope.The crowd let out a huge ooh, before cheering and chanting for Hazard.Both Hazard and Mercy lay almost lifeless on the floor. The ref starts to count. After a few seconds, Mercy and Hazard simultaneously kip-up. Both hesitate to make a move. They both circle the ring anxiously awaiting their opponent’s next step.
Mercy makes his move and attempts a clothesline, but Hazard ducks under, rebounding off the ropes. He hurls towards Mercy and hits the corkscrew cross body. With Mercy laid out in the ring, Hazard again goes to the canvas on the outside of the ring, eagerly waiting and motioning for Mercy to get up. Mercy drags himself up and Hazard begins his springboard spin. Mercy turns and finds himself confronting a now airborne Hazard.
Hazard clutches Mercy’s head and hits the 720 DDT. The sheer force and momentum of the DDT causes Mercy to end back up on his feet and he rebounds off the ropes back into Hazard. Hazard kicks Mercy once in the leg, once in the mid-section and once in the head, causing Mercy to stagger even more. He then goes for a hurricarana pin. Mercy instinctively pulls him back up and hits a huge sit-down powerbomb into a pin.One! Two! Hazard gets the shoulder up!
Mercy picks Hazard up and locks in a cobra clutch. Hazard struggles to break free, but refuses to submit. Mercy turns the clutch into a reverse atomic drop on Hazard, which sends Hazard across the ring. Hazard turns, and sees Mercy running for a clothesline, which he ducks under. Hazard then runs towards the turnbuckle, climbs up and hits the Whisper in the Wind!The crowd are now going wild for Hazard, and momentum is clearly on his side. Mercy is down on the ground, and Hazard notices he is in the perfect position and he knows he can go for the pin. Instead, he makes his way to the nearby turnbuckle and goes for a split legged corkscrew moonsault. There is a cheer from the crowd as he hits the ropes and begins his corkscrew. At the last second, Mercy lifts his knees, and stumbles to his feet. The crowd, enjoying the match, begin to chant for the two in the ring. A roar of “Let’s go, Hazard” is followed by a line of “Let’s go Mercy”.Mercy walks over to Hazard, who lies in pain on the canvas, and picks him up. He hoists him into position for the Mercy Drive, and takes a few steps into the centre of the ring. As he goes to hit the move, Hazard breaks free, sliding down the back of Mercy. The two competitors now stand back to back. Mercy turns around. And Hazard, with pinpoint accuracy, hits the Eastland’s Punt directly on Mercy’s head. Hazard quickly makes his way to his feet, and realises that Mercy is stumbling. With every ounce of energy left in him, he hits the BioHazard.
The move sends Mercy flying across the ring.Knowing what the fans want to see, Hazard points towards the turnbuckle, which causes the crowd to cheer.He once again makes his way towards the corner, but this time hits the Hazard’s Way.The crowd go wild after seeing the double moonsault. They start to chant “Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit”.Hazard goes for the pin.One! Two! Three! The crowd cheer, and applaud the two competitors in the ring. Hazard helps Mercy to his feet and offers the handshake. Mercy accepts and raises Hazard’s hand. The two then celebrate their match, before making their way to the back. [/color]

Just so everyone knows. The reason I haven't put commentary on this match, is due to the fact it is a pre-show/dark match and I wouldn't imagine would have any.

Good work, Hazard. What I like most about this match is that it completely suits the position on the card. It was no fuss, fast paced exciting action, and would do the job of getting the crowd pumped up for the main card. There's room for improvement, as there is for all of us, but I'm very happy with your first showing. Keep it up. You've got big shoes to fill

If you've written in that style on purpose, you've written it very well! If it's by accident, it's still a very good read. Welcome to the show!
