Alex Pilgrim: THIS...is the match we've been waiting for all night. We've had countless unifactions thus far, but now, is the ULTIMATE unification!
Tony Almanti: HELL YEAH! Wait...which unification is this?
Alex Pilgrim: (sighs) It's to create the ultimate POW Champion. Neither of them are POW champions in the official sense, but they have been dominant elsewhere.
Tony Almanti: So who are they?
As if to answer his question, the lights go dim as the introduction to “YYZ” begins to play. As the guitar kicks in, red and gold lights flood the arena as a small army of scantily clad women appears from behind the curtain. Two of them roll out an impossibly long red carpet down the aisle. Because there is no pyro in POW, one woman stands on either side of the entryway holding up a small sparkler. FDCM now finally strolls through the curtain, basking in the imaginary glow of the crowd’s approval and what he clearly perceives to be a MASSIVE pyrotechnics display. He cockily adjusts his sunglasses and polishes the UWL world title belt, then puts an arm around each girl as they stroll down the red carpet together, both women still waving the sparklers around. As they reach the ringside area, FDCM walks alone up the steel stairs as the first two women who had been rolling out the carpet now hold open the ropes for him to step through. He spins in the center of the ring with three bright white spotlights focused entirely on him, while holding up the “Diamond Cutter” hand signal, then comes to a stop with his arms outstretched, welcoming what he imagines as the DEAFENING cheers of the crowd as his championship sparkles as bright as his ego. FDCM hands over the UWL belt to Benny Lawson who raises it above his head, showing it off to the crowd.
Richard Huff: Your first competitor of the night! The last UWL Champion of Champions! With a trove of girls who all know how great he truly is, FLYING DIAMOND CUTTER MAN!
Tony Almanti: WHOA, Flying Diamond Cutter Man! So...that means that his opponent is...
The lights dim down a near candlelit dimness as "The Maine Theme" from the Godfather begins to play. "The Sicilian Badass" makes his way to the top of the ramp with the UWC Championship around his waist. He smirks at the crowd, brushes off some fictitious lint on his shoulder and walks to the ring. Tito Capaci pulls the belt off of his waist and holds it up with one hand while hopping up onto the second rope. He points to the belt and the audience cheers for their favorite company's owner. Tito Capaci hands off his belt to Benny Lawson who now holds both of them in their glory up for the crowd to cheer for. Benny Lawson hands the belts off to a ring attendant at the side while Tito Capaci takes off his jacket and adjusts his suspenders.
Richard Huff: And your second competitor. The man who OWNS Power On Wrestling, the last reigning UWC Champion. THE SICILIAN BADASS! TITO CAPACI!
Alex Pilgrim: So you finally got it? This is to crown the greatest Champion in POW History! These two gods...no, Titans clash in this ring tonight to see once and for all who deserves the title of "Greatest Damn Wrestler in the Business Today"
Tony Almanti: So it's for the "GDWBT" Championship?
Alex Pilgrim: SHUT UP!
Benny Lawson calls for the bell!
ding-dingFormer UWL Heavyweight Championship/UWC Heavyweight Championship Unification Match
Former UWL World Heavyweight Champion Flying Diamond Cutter Man vs. UWC World Heavyweight champion Tito Capaci
Pilgrim: And let's get this thing started!
The two men circle each other, sizing one another up. Tito goes to lock up with FDCM, but fdcm steps back shaking his finger at Tito. Tito goes for another lockup, but FDCM backs up once more laughing at his opponent. Tito goes for a third, this time with a smile, as fdcm tries to back up, but backs into the turnbuckle letting Capaci get hold of him. Tito pulls fdcm out of the corner and then slams him against the turnbuckle a couple of times before letting a nasty chop hit fdcm in the chest. fdcm clutches his chest and tries to get away, but Tito slams him back into the corner and proceeds to choke fdcm out. Before Lawson can break it up, fdcm knocks Tito's hands from his throat and headbutts the boss in the face. Tito steps back, and then slaps fdcm in the face.
Tony Almanti: Where the hell's the respect? You'd think there would be some professional courtesy, but noooooo.
Alex Pilgrim: I think they'd both rather just win.
fdcm steps back into the corner with a cocky flourish and then hops up onto the middle rope. Capaci sees this and backs across the ring with a smile and a "bring it on" hand gesture. fdcm hops down from the turnbuckle and slowly advances across the ring, scratching his chest where Tito earlier went to work. fdcm slows down as he nears the boss. Tito tries for another shot, but fdcm ducks it and comes back with a couple of quick jabs, finishing off with a flourish combo. fdcm grabs hold of Tito's head and tries to hit an early diamond cutter, but Tito pushes him off and then grabs onto fdcm's midsection from behind. fdcm fights as Tito tries to bring him back in a german suplex. Finally, fdcm wins out by hooking his leg around Tito's. He then reaches back and grabs onto Tito's head, bringing him down with a jawbreaker. Tito bounces off and lands on his back on the mat clutching his jaw and neck. fdcm pulls Tito up to a sitting spot by his hair and then puts his knee into the back of Tito's head while pulling him back with a modified facelock. Tito reaches out with his leg and barely sits it onto the ropes. Benny Lawson forces fdcm to release the hold after the count of four. Tito stands up, massaging his jaw once more.
Alex Pilgrim: Looks like FDCM isn't going to hold anything back against the boss.
Tony Almanti: Would you?
Alex Pilgrim: I guess not if it were something like this on the line, but he also signs my paycheck, heh.
FDCM tries to whip Capaci into the ropes, but Capaci counters, sending fdcm into the ropes instead. fdcm tries to leap off and hit Tito with something that's probably another diamond cutter, but Tito grabs hold of fdcm's head and brings it down onto his knee. Tito, looking disappointed that there's no blood yet, hoists fdcm up onto his feet and pulls him over in a german suplex, dropping him onto the back of his head. With a roll, Tito stands back up and pulls fdcm back over. This happens for a third time, and Tito then bridges fdcm over for a pin.

2.NO...KICKOUT!
FDCM kicks out of the pin attempt just after the count of two and pulls himself free of Capaci's grasp. FDCM gets back to his feet while Tito gets back up as well, adjusting his suspenders. FDCM tries to go for another irish whip, but this time when Tito reverses it, he nails FDCM with a clothesline. Tito holds onto fdcm's arm and pulls him back up. Tito whips fdcm and then pulls him back, trying to hit him with another clothesline. fdcm ducks underneath it, and just as this happens, one of the Diamond Cutter Girls hops up onto the apron, forcing Lawson to go get her off of the ring. Taking the opportunity, fdcm jams his thumb into Tito's eye. With both arms now free, fdcm reaches up and nails Tito with a diamond cutter. Tito manages to shrug it off at the last second, but he still crashes into the mat. fdcm covers him for the pin as his vixen gets down from the ring apron.

KICKOUT!!
Tony Almanti: He kicked out a Diamond Cutter! That's the move fdcm excels at!
Alex Pilgrim: He didn't take the full force of the move, if he had, this match would surely be over.
Tito shakes the cobwebs loose as he tries to get back to his feet. An irate fdcm hops up onto the top rope and dives off after a moment's hesitation. He connects squarely with Capaci's head with a flying diamond headbutt. He rolls off of Capaci, not moving. Capaci moves a tiny bit in the ring, but is now laying still, breathing hard and clutching onto his face.

All of a sudden, fdcm leaps back to his feet laughing. He wanders over and picks up Capaci and tries to whip the boss into the ropes again, but Capaci counters it for a third time, sending fdcm into the ropes. Fdcm rebounds off the ropes and head toward Tito. Expecting something else, Tito gets nailed in the grill with a roaring elbow. Tito falls back into the ropes and bounces off to fdcm who nails him with a boot to the gut. FDCM runs back and bounces off the ropes, this time trying for his 'Running Diamond Cutter'. Expecting this, Tito sidesteps and grabs onto one of FDCM's arms. fdcm gets wrapped up into a hammerlock. Tito pushes down on fdcm's shoulder, increasing the pressure on the hold greatly. Before Tito can do anything else, fdcm reverses around Tito and pulls him into a hammerlock of his own, clubbing Tito on the back of the head. He then pulls Tito's arm around and locks Capaci's head, bringing him down in a dragon sleeper. Before Lawson can even check on Tito, "OH HELL NO" can be heard being shouted from Tito as he reverses the move into his own version of the dragon sleeper, the Sicilian Sleeper. FDCM gurgles as he starts to fade. Tito screams out "Dumb Fairy Ass" as he torques on FDCM's neck and fdcm fades altogether. Benny Lawson pulls up fdcm's arm and lets it go.

Lawson lifts fdcm's arm up for a third time, but FDCM skins the cat over Capaci and nails him with a knee in the face, dropping Tito from a low height. Tito clutches onto his face with open eyes as a trickle of blood squirts from his nose and lip. The blood, seeming to have revived him, forces Tito to get back to his feet while fdcm walks around groggily from the Sicilian Sleeper.
Tony Almanti: LOOK AT FDCM GO! Right...into...the turnbuckle...
Tito Capaci pushes fdcm into the corner face first, busting his lip open ever so slightly and then turns him around. FDCM readies another eye poke, but Tito grabs onto fdcm's neck and slams him down to the mat, choking him. With everything he's got, Tito puts his feet up onto the ropes while Benny Lawson begins the count. Finally, barely before the count of five, Tito lets go and covers fdcm for the pin with his feet up on the ropes while Lawson doesn't notice.

One of the Flying Diamond Girls gets back onto the ring apron and distracts the referee while another nails Tito in the crotch with a low blow. Tito rolls off of FDCM clutching his bejeweled area, eyes bugging out in pain. Benny Lawson finally forces the redhead off the ring apron and turns to see both men on the ground, holding onto various body parts in pain.

KICKOUT!
Pilgrim: These two guys would rather die than lose this match, Tony.
Almanti: The would rather be embarrased than lose this match. Both of these men don't fear dying. It's image that drives these two. Make no mistake about it, Alex.
Tito decides to slow down the match and moves in and gets Flying Diamond Cutter Man in an abdominal stretch. Capaci is too tired himself to crank it really tight, but right now, both men are really feeling the effects of this match. Lawson asks FDCM if he's ready to concede and he gets a "no" response in the form of a spitball right in his face.
Pilgrim: I guess that means that FDCM still has a little fight left in him.
Almanti: Graceful under fire, Pilgrim. That's what I call it.
Tito gets a bit of a second wind and really cranks in that abdominal stretch. Lawson asks FDCM again if he wants to submit, but this time from a safer distance. FDCM refuses to quit and starts to inch toward the ropes. Capaci tries to hold him back, but FDCM won't be denied. Tito realizes it is going to be inevitable that FDCM is going to get to the ropes, so he simply releases the hold and FDCM, trying to move at full force toward the ropes jolts through the air like a rubber band being released, and actually falls through the ropes!
Pilgrim: And Tito being a smart veteran, saw the writing on the wall there!
Almanti: There is a lot of championship match experience in the ring right now. We're seeing the best of the best!
Tito rolls out of the ring and follows FDCM around one corner. He gets his hand on FDCM's shoulder and spins him around before delivering a knee lift to the gut of UWL World Champ. Tito follows that up with a big European uppercut that knocks FDCM back a few feet. Tito grabs FDCM by the hair and pulls him around another corner. He pulls back hard and whips FDCM into the announcer's table right in front of Pilgrim and Almanti!
Pilgrim: And Tony, we're right in the middle of the action now!
Almanti: These guys are bleeding for crying out loud and this is my good suit!
Capaci walks over and grabs FDCM's hair and pulls back, delivering his head face first into the announcer's table. He looks back and sees that Lawson is on seven on the count, so Capaci rolls in the ring to stop the count and then back out. As he approaches FDCM again, the Flying Diamond Cutter Girls have gotten between Tito and FDCM. Capaci, remembering the shot to the groin, flat out bitch slaps one of the girls, sending her flying and down to the floor. He points to another one and asks if she wants a piece, and she declines as the girls part like the Red Sea to get out of Capaci's way. FDCM was ready, however and flies out with a huge clothesline, sending Tito to the floor!
Pilgrim: And I love to root for my boss, but he just hit a damn woman and he deserves whatever he gets!
Almanti: That woman just spiked him in the nutsack a few minutes back, Alex. That was totally justified!
Pilgrim: It doesn't matter now because FDCM has retaken control of this match.
FDCM levels a hard right hand against Capaci's cheek. And another right. And another right. And then a left, and a right, and a left, and a right! FDCM backs up, spins around as Capaci staggers forward a bit and FDCM hits Capaci with a hard clothesline that FDCM goes down with for an easy choke on the POW owner.
Pilgrim: And FDCM has all the momentum at this point!
Almanti: Give it a few minutes.
FDCM is the one who looks up the referee and sees the count up around the eight mark. FDCM rolls in the ring and then back out. He immediately goes over to Capaci and picks him up. He body slams him hard on the announcer's table and then takes a spare microphone cord and wraps it around Capaci's neck, trying to choke him out. He can hear Lawson threatening to call the match, so FDCM takes the cord from Capaci's neck and drags him off the table. He gets Capaci to his feet and rolls him back in the ring.
Pilgrim: Finally! A resemblance to some order around here!
Almanti: I've said it before. Give it a few minutes.
FDCM gets Capaci to his feet and quick picks him up and drops him on his knee for an atomic drop. This isn't the first time Capaci's groin has been hammered, and he's starting to feel the long term effects of it. FDCM closes in for the kill. He tries to go for the Diamond Cutter, but Capaci sees it coming and shoves him off, but FDCM was dangerously close to landing it.
Pilgrim: And we almost crowned our first POW Wolrd Champion right there!
Almanti: No way. Capaci is the smartest cat in this company. He saw that coming the whole time.
FDCM comes back hard at Tito, but Tito sidesteps and hits a drop toe hold that sends FDCM face first into the top turnbuckle! Tito sees this as an opening and closes in quickly.
Pilgrim: And once again the tide has turned in favor of "The Made Man!"
Almanti: I told you to be patient!
Tito lifts FDCM to his feet and whips him into the ropes. As FDCM bounces off, Capaci catches him and nails his Capaci Capper! The fans in the arena go nuts as Capaci pops up and signals to the crowd that this is going to be the end!
Pilgrim: And Mr. Capaci is going for the Sicilian Silencer! NOBODY gets up from this!
Almanti: Get ready to crown our first POW World Champion!
Capaci grabs FDCM by the hair and lifts him. Capaci gets a handful of hair on both sides of the sides and bends down to FDCM's level and really lays on bragging and taunts. Tito whips FDCM's head under his arm to connect on his Siclian Silencer. He gets him up to the top of the veritical suplex portion and really hangs it there for show. As he brings it down, however, FDCM manages to spin all the way around catches Capaci's head and NAILS a Diamond Cutter! The crowd goes crazy as Benny Lawson is as surprised as anyone to see FDCM flopping one arm across the chest of Capaci!
Pilgrim: WHAT A MOVE! FDCM MAY HAVE JUST PULLED THIS DAMN THING OFF!
Almanti: Unbelievable move! How did he manage to reverse that! That was CRAZY!!!!!
1..........
2............
3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The crowd goes crazy as the Flying Diamond Cutter girls storm the ring with confetti raining down from above. Capaci is still out cold, and FDCM is dehydrated and having trouble getting to his feet.
Pilgrim: What a match between two absolute legends!
Almanti: Well, FDCM just added to his legacy securing a huge victory at SuperMania, no doubt. I'm sure Tito will not be happy with this result!
Pyro starts to explode all over the arena and fans are booing or cheering the new POW World Champion. Lawson hands FDCM both the UWC and UWL World Heavyweight Belts which FDCM throws one over each shoulder. Lawson then takes the brand new POW World Heavyweight Championship Belt and hands it to him. FDCM drops down to his knees holding the new title high above his head and looking to the stars as the scene begins to fade away.
