Match Teaser three:
Jeff James and Thomas Young. Brothers who face their friend Prince Darko tonight. Family ties run deep, but will their heads truly be in the game tonight? Prince Darko and Big Bad Brian Bruno. Bruno's the odd one out, a former football prodigy, and one of NAPW's newest stars. Will he and Darko be able to gel enough to take on Darko's stable mates?
The crowd boos as "Dagga" is piped through the sound system. Darko walks through the entrance and doesn't look at the crowd once, just focusing on the ring.
FRANK WARBURTON: Introducing first, weighing in at Two-hundred and Ten pounds, from the Kingdom of Zamunda, he is one half of the Royal Foundation, this is Prince Daaaaaarrrkooooooo!
Iron Maiden blasts forth, as the crowd has somebody to cheer. Bruno bursts through the entrance, glad-handing every fan he sees on his way to the ring. Bruno gets into the ring, and offers his hand to Prince Darko. Darko looks at it for a second, and reluctantly shakes it.
FRANK WARBURTON: And his lottery partner: weighing in at Two-hundred and Seventy-Five pounds, from Chicago, Illinois! He's big! He's bad! He's Briiiiiaaaannn Bruuuuuunnooooo!
"Through the Black" plays, and Thomas Young and Jeff James walk out together, basking in the boos of the fans.
FRANK WARBURTON: From Hollywood, Florida, he's Prince Darko's bodyguard and enforcer, weighing in at Two-hundred and Forty-Five pounds, it's Thoooomaaaas Yoouuuuuung! And his lottery partner and brother, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at Two-hundred and Five pounds, he's the former Television Champion, Jeff! Jaaaaames!
All four men are in the ring. Young looks at Darko and smirks. Darko doesn't smile back. Instead, he walks to the corner, leaving Brian Bruno in there as the legal man against Thomas Young. John Sharplin calls for the bell, and Bruno and Young lock up! Both teams' power players feeling each other out here. Young manages to get Bruno in a headlock, but Bruno pushes Thomas to the ropes with ease. Thomas calls for a test of strength, and Bruno looks at him like he's crazy. And then shrugs, placing his arms in the air. Thomas locks up, and it's on! Both men, not giving in the slightest! You can see the strain in their faces, but these two are determined not to let the other triumph. Thomas manages to get the momentum, as he pushes Bruno down. But Bruno manages to get back to the middle, and flips Young's arms around, and Young is yelping with pain. Bruno chuckles as Young is trying to escape, but a knee to the gut takes Brian down. Belly to back suplex by Young, and Bruno's on the ground. Young goes to his corner and tags in Jeff James, who races in with a dropkick to the face of Brian Bruno. That's gotta hurt! Bruno writhing in pain as Jeff James with a standing moonsault gets one from Sharplin. Bruno powers out. James still on the offensive, grabs the head of Brian Bruno. Going for a DDT, but Bruno just picks up James for a Gorilla Press Slam! Bruno goes over to his corner and tags in Prince Darko. Darko enters the ring, looking at Jeff James. James smirks, runs to his corner, and tags in his brother. Young steps through the ropes, Darko shakes his head and tags Brian Bruno back in. Jeff James is laughing at Darko, and Bruno's glaring at his partner, but gets back into the ring. Young rushes, but it's a clothesline by Brian Bruno. Young gets back up, undeterred, but he rushes straight into a spine-buster by the big man! Bruno goes to tag Darko, but Darko backs down the ring steps. Jeff James catcalls from his side. "What's the matter, Darko? Afraid we'd beat you?" Darko gets a dark look on his face, but stays where he is.
Bruno goes back to Young, only to get a boot to the face. Young with a back suplex on Brian, and Bruno's shaken up here. Thomas picks Bruno back up for another suplex. No, it's a Young Cutter! Bruno's groggy but still moving, as Young tags his brother back in. James looks to Darko, and gives him the finger as he double knee drops the prone Brian Bruno. Jeff with an arm triangle around the neck of Bruno, and he torques it for all he's worth! Brian Bruno's turning blue! John Sharplin checks on Bruno, raising his hand. It drops to the ground. Sharplin picks up the hand of Bruno again, but it drops. No, wait! The hand pushes down on the mat, and Bruno is getting up with Jeff James still with the triangle choke! James isn't liking where this is going! Bruno gets to his feet, and raises Jeff James in the air. POWER-BOMB! You could hear that in Red Deer! The crowd oooohs as Bruno gets to his corner and looks at Prince Darko. Darko looks at the prone body of Jeff James, tightens his jaw, and holds out his hand. Tag to Darko!
The crowd's on their feet--Darko slips through the ropes and head straight for James! He picks the former TV Champ to standing... and then tosses him roughly into his corner! Pacing like a regal tiger, Darko practically growls at his best friend Thomas Young to make the tag! Darko doesn't want the weakened James, and as far what Young wants, well... he makes the tag. The crowd swells as Thomas Young steps out, and with a smirk on his face, strides up to his usual partner, practically leading by his chin. Darko shrinks into a "shoot" position, giving him an all-business stare as he starts to shuffle around Young--and Young just cockily starts swinging is arms around as he counter-circles Darko. Young lashes out--and Darko slaps his arm away, feinting with a lunge that he doesn't take. Young balls up his fists and holds 'em up, Irish-style, taunting Darko to take the next move... and so Darko closes his fists, looking like he's gonna throw down, too! And here comes the blow--Darko hits a solid jab--right into Young's fist! Young yelps something unbroadcastable and shakes out his hand... then fists up again and punches Darko in the knuckles. Darko grimaces, then winds up and socks it to Young's knuckles, stiff enough for the back row to hear. Young retaliates, practically crushing Prince Darko's knuckles! What's going on? Brian Bruno looks on helplessly from the tag rope as he watches the two members of the Royal Foundation play "Bloody Knuckles"! And now the crowd's encouraging this, as the jerks in the front row have everyone chanting "POW!" every time they take a shot. The Royals go back-and-forth with their brutal slap-fight, culminating in Darko spinning around three-hundred-and-sixty degrees to Sunday Punch Young's bruised knuckles, Masato Tanaka-style--"WHOOOOOOOAH POW!" Young's hand practically goes double-jointed from the impact, and he reels back wards, swearing profusely--BLIND TAG FROM JEFF JAMES! He's on the top turnbuckle--FLYING! PUNCH! TO THE KNUCKLES! Prince Darko flies back, writhing on the mat and covering his hand. Jeff, having been bought some rest time by Young, capitalizes by kicking the prone Darko's head like a stray soccer ball. Darko rolls over and somehow splays his arms across the bottom rope--Sharplin sees it and orders James back for a breather. James resignedly lets the ref move him back wards, but then breaks away, hits the ropes, and comes back charging--Sharplin dives for cover--into a rising Darko, going high with a Jeff James-Patented Jumping Super-kick! Darko, looking glassy, teeters and then weebles to a rising Jeff James--HEY NOW! SPINE-BUSTER! Prince Darko with a DESPERATION Spine-buster lays him out, BOTH men collapsed! Sharplin hovers over both men--they're not moving! He starts instituting a count here, checking for double-knock-out. ONE! Brian Bruno's eyes bug out of his head as he desperately leans in for a tag. TWO! Thomas Young's straining against the ropes, his hand out, calling out James' name. THREE! Both men are still out. FOUR! Still out! This looks BAD. FIVE! Thomas Young's stamping his foot on the apron, getting the crowd to do he same and drum up some noise. SIX! It's a twitch... it's a spasm... but Darko rolls himself up onto his shoulder. The count's off... but NOW what? Darko rolling over onto his hands and knees, pointing himself toward a rested Brian Bruno--Young DESPERATELY pleading Jams to crawl over to his corner... Darko's slowly making his way... James is MOVING! Darko crawls the short distance he needs, toward Bruno's hand--and James HOT-DOGS across the canvas to Young--TWIN TAGS! NOW GET YOUR TICKETS READY!
Bruno and Young rush each other... and Bruno wants it MORE. RUNNING CLOTHESLINE, Bruno swings that one like a punch, practically turning Thomas Young inside out. That's right, PRACTICALLY. The big man peels Young off of the mat, and with a couple of under-hooks, BUTTERFLY POWER-BOMB! Bruno's got the pin--ONE! TWO! SHOULDER UP! Bruno's not discouraged, however, as he cinches Young up again, this time slamming him to the mat with his SIT-OUT POWER-BOMB.
ONE.
TWO.
THR--WHACK! Jeff James having entered the ring illegally, delivering another stiff kick to Bruno's ribs and interrupting the count. Sharplin's ordering him back into his corner or else face a DQ, but Bruno's steamed and wants to deal with James his own way. Pushing past Sharplin, he snakes his massive arm out and catches James by the throat, getting him in a goozle, and brings his other hand back, ready to knock James' block off--AND THEN THE LOW BLOW HAPPENS. Thomas Young, having slipped in behind Bruno in the confusion, strikes Bruno in the family jewels while Sharplin's distracted. This weakens the grip on James' throat, and in turn, this allows James to shove the bigger Bruno with all his might... and with Young's arm already in position, the two men are able to bring Bruno back into a Schoolboy! Not like this!
ONE!
TWO!
SHOULDER UP! "Big Bad" Brian Bruno comes to at the last second, and DOESN'T like the game Young and James have been playing! Ignoring Sharplin's further warnings, Jeff James jumps on the back of the rising Bruno--but Bruno keeps his balance, and reaches behind him to hoist James up in an Inverted Crucifix... James waves his arms about ineffectually, trying to kick Bruno's back as best as he can... but Bruno just parades him around the ring for everyone to see. INVERTED CRUCIFIX POWER-BOMB! James hit the mat face-and-chest-first skidding to a halt as the fans chant "ONE! MORE! TIME!" Bruno smiles broadly, but chooses to instead turn to locate Thomas Young--TOO LATE! BIG BOOT! Thomas Young just PLOWED Bruno in the face! And now mounting his opponent, it's SHOT after SHOT of Young's well-used fist, up close and personal to Bruno's face! Bruno with a desperation counter to the barrage--a well-times Bell-Clap to stun the Royal--allows him to run to his corner... and find it EMPTY? Where the Hell is Prince Darko? Why, at ringside, asking the local honeys if they have royalty in them. No? Would they like some? It's pretty much the last straw for Bruno, who screama at his partner to get his head in the game, and that allows Thomas Young to hit the Young Cutter. Young, sporting a crooked smile, spits on the fallen Bruno, pretty much squandering any love the fans may given him for the Bloody Knuckles... and pulls Bruno up for ONE. LAST. MOVE.
SHADES OF DEATH.
ONE.
TWO.
THREE.
FRANK WARBURTON: Here is your WINNERS, Thomas Young and Jeff! James!
The crowd's not liking Young for this win, and scram themselves hoarse when Prince Darko "conveniently" loses interest in the local women to slide in the ring and prop a worn James up, raising his hand in victory. Young laughs and musses Darko's afro... "You had me fighting, you scamp!" "Hey, good fight," Darko chirps. "You beat us fair and square!" And Darko raises Young's hand in victory--Young raises DARKO'S hand in victory! And then a group hug! And while the fans ain't having it, Brian Bruno likes it even less... having found his way onto his knees, he gives Prince Darko a hurt, accusatory glare... Darko wears a guilty look, and then looks sad-faced at Thomas Young. He motions John Sharplin to come over, he's got something to say... wait, wait, no he doesn't. The Royals and Jeff James instead fall three-on-one on Bruno, raining down too many boot shots for him to cover up against. While the timekeeper impotently rings the bell, the three friends soften poor Brian Bruno up-until the pull his battered body up, Prince Darko slapping on the Full Nelson hold. Thomas Young back up and charges--another Big Boot! Bruno's ROYALLY DONE! But Darko's not letting him go... not yet.. not until James is on position on the turnbuckle! NO! ENOUGH'S ENOUGH! FLYING LARIAT from James, and the bell won't stop ringing! The three men seem pleased with their efforts, and once again start raising each other's hands as the Lethal Lottery fades to a break.

Pacing like a regal tiger, Darko practically growls at his best friend Thomas Young to make the tag! Darko doesn't want the weakened James, and as far what Young wants, well... he makes the tag. The crowd swells as Thomas Young steps out, and with a smirk on his face, strides up to his usual partner, practically leading by his chin.

Brian Bruno looks on helplessly from the tag rope as he watches the two members of the Royal Foundation play "Bloody Knuckles"!

Darko's slowly making his way... James is MOVING! Darko crawls the short distance he needs, toward Bruno's hand--and James HOT-DOGS across the canvas to Young--TWIN TAGS! NOW GET YOUR TICKETS READY!
Bruno and Young rush each other... and Bruno wants it MORE. RUNNING CLOTHESLINE, Bruno swings that one like a punch, practically turning Thomas Young inside out. That's right, PRACTICALLY. The big man peels Young off of the mat, and with a couple of under-hooks, BUTTERFLY POWER-BOMB! Bruno's got the pin--ONE! TWO! SHOULDER UP! Bruno's not discouraged, however, as he cinches Young up again, this time slamming him to the mat with his SIT-OUT POWER-BOMB.
ONE.
TWO.
THR--WHACK! Jeff James having entered the ring illegally, delivering another stiff kick to Bruno's ribs and interrupting the count. Sharplin's ordering him back into his corner or else face a DQ, but Bruno's steamed and wants to deal with James his own way. Pushing past Sharplin, he snakes his massive arm out and catches James by the throat, getting him in a goozle, and brings his other hand back, ready to knock James' block off--AND THEN THE LOW BLOW HAPPENS. Thomas Young, having slipped in behind Bruno in the confusion, strikes Bruno in the family jewels while Sharplin's distracted. This weakens the grip on James' throat, and in turn, this allows James to shove the bigger Bruno with all his might... and with Young's arm already in position, the two men are able to bring Bruno back into a Schoolboy! Not like this!
ONE!
TWO!
SHOULDER UP! "Big Bad" Brian Bruno comes to at the last second, and DOESN'T like the game Young and James have been playing! Ignoring Sharplin's further warnings, Jeff James jumps on the back of the rising Bruno--but Bruno keeps his balance, and reaches behind him to hoist James up in an Inverted Crucifix... James waves his arms about ineffectually, trying to kick Bruno's back as best as he can... but Bruno just parades him around the ring for everyone to see. INVERTED CRUCIFIX POWER-BOMB! James hit the mat face-and-chest-first skidding to a halt as the fans chant "ONE! MORE! TIME!" Bruno smiles broadly, but chooses to instead turn to locate Thomas Young--TOO LATE! BIG BOOT! Thomas Young just PLOWED Bruno in the face! And now mounting his opponent, it's SHOT after SHOT of Young's well-used fist, up close and personal to Bruno's face! Bruno with a desperation counter to the barrage--a well-times Bell-Clap to stun the Royal--allows him to run to his corner... and find it EMPTY? Where the Hell is Prince Darko? Why, at ringside, asking the local honeys if they have royalty in them. No? Would they like some? It's pretty much the last straw for Bruno, who screama at his partner to get his head in the game, and that allows Thomas Young to hit the Young Cutter. Young, sporting a crooked smile, spits on the fallen Bruno, pretty much squandering any love the fans may given him for the Bloody Knuckles... and pulls Bruno up for ONE. LAST. MOVE.
SHADES OF DEATH.
ONE.
TWO.
THREE.
FRANK WARBURTON: Here is your WINNERS, Thomas Young and Jeff! James!
The crowd's not liking Young for this win, and scram themselves hoarse when Prince Darko "conveniently" loses interest in the local women to slide in the ring and prop a worn James up, raising his hand in victory. Young laughs and musses Darko's afro... "You had me fighting, you scamp!" "Hey, good fight," Darko chirps. "You beat us fair and square!" And Darko raises Young's hand in victory--Young raises DARKO'S hand in victory! And then a group hug! And while the fans ain't having it, Brian Bruno likes it even less... having found his way onto his knees, he gives Prince Darko a hurt, accusatory glare... Darko wears a guilty look, and then looks sad-faced at Thomas Young. He motions John Sharplin to come over, he's got something to say... wait, wait, no he doesn't. The Royals and Jeff James instead fall three-on-one on Bruno, raining down too many boot shots for him to cover up against. While the timekeeper impotently rings the bell, the three friends soften poor Brian Bruno up-until the pull his battered body up, Prince Darko slapping on the Full Nelson hold. Thomas Young back up and charges--another Big Boot! Bruno's ROYALLY DONE! But Darko's not letting him go... not yet.. not until James is on position on the turnbuckle! NO! ENOUGH'S ENOUGH! FLYING LARIAT from James, and the bell won't stop ringing! The three men seem pleased with their efforts, and once again start raising each other's hands as the Lethal Lottery fades to a break.
