Valora Salinas from Wrestling Midwest

WMW Hardcore Champion Valora Salina vs. Adam Pyre from 9/17- WMW Burn PPV
[The cage is set up and the firefighters come out, carefully lining the walls of the cage, while other firefighters prep the ringside area to reduce the danger to the fans as the Ring crew carefully disassemble and reassemble the ring ropes, replacing them with barbed wire.]

Jack Gene – I just… don’t know what Valora is looking to prove in this match.  She’s picking a match that Adam Pyre invented and made infamous… she’s replacing the ring ropes with barbed wire… she is setting herself up in an impossible situation.  Where’s the win here, for her?

Bill Hughes – Jack.. you really are an idiot at times.  Valora has always been about living on the edge.  She’s a showman err… showwoman… what do showmen do?  They stick to their opponent, they get in their head and get the crowd fired up, they amaze and wow us all… What better way to drill it into your opponent’s head that they can’t beat you then to beat them in a match they created?  Valora beats the Deathcore icon in a deathcore match that he invented… she leaves him with no choice… he has to admit that she is better.  That’s what this comes down to.  Pride.  Pure and simple.  Since her debut here, Valora has sought one thing and one thing only.  Respect.  To make everyone know and acknowledge that she is the best.  She wins here tonight.  The world will notice.

Jack Gene – You make some good points there, Bill.  But it seems like an awful lot to risk for simple pride.

Bill Hughes – ‘Simple’ Pride?  Listen to yourself, man… no wonder your wife is out looking for real men…

Jack Gene – Anyways… Ladies and Gentlemen, we have to warn you that this match is going to be exceptionally violent in all likelihood.  Young children, those who are squeamish and those with weak hearts should not watch this match we..WHOA!!!

[All of a sudden, the preparations finish and as the crew evacuates the cage is ignited bursting into flames, eliciting an 'OOOOH!' from the crowd.  Wayne Inkster is shown arguing with both Luna Pier and John Law, both official emphatically shaking their head no and gesturing to the cage.]

Bill Hughes – hmm… looks like there’s an interesting disagreement between the refs and Inkster… who I notice is staying away from the cage….

Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen… the next match of the night here at Burn 2009 is a Gates of Hell match and it is for the WMW Hardcore Championship!!!  There has been a slight change to this match, however… Referees Luna Pier and John Law are refusing to enter the cage  Therefore… we need to…

[Wayne Inkster is cut off by the STO theme and Sault St. Marie comes out of the back, a not pleased look on his face as he makes his way down to the ring and debates with the referees..]

Jack Gene – Well.. it looks like neither one of the referees wants to get inside the cage… can’t say that I blame them, really.. you’d have to be nuts to step inside that thing..

Bill Hughes – but… we can’t have our awesome match with no refs!  Tell them to do their damn job!

[Sault St. Marie and Law confer and finally appear to reach a consensus which is then relayed to Wayne Inkster who gets back on the mic.]

Wayne Inkster - Ladies and Gentlemen, WMW Officials Luna Pier and John Law refuse to enter the cage.. therefore the only way to win the match will be by escape from the flaming cage!!!  Both Luna Pier and John Law have been assigned to watch for the escape attempts and to declare the winner.  And now to the match!  Introducing first, the challenger.  Hailing from Long Beach, California.  He stands 5 feet 8 inches tall and weighs in at 185lbs.  He is the King of Freaks and a Deathcore Icon….ADAM PYRE!!!!!

["Freak" by Silverchair blasts from the PA as Adam Pyre makes his way down to the ring. He walks slowly, deliberately, forcing the fans and his opponent to anticipate his entry into the ring. Every so often, his head twitches to the right or left, taking the ringside fans by surprise.  As he makes his way down to the cage, he inspects it carefully darting his hand in and out of the flames, playing, almost taunting the fire as he laughs maniacally and shakes his head before finally stepping inside the cage and making his way into the ring.  Once there he stands in the middle of the ring, inspecting the cage and waiting for his opponent to be announced..  The crowd boos him heavily during all of this but he flips them off, feeding on their hate, calling for more as if to psyche himself up for the match.]

Wayne Inkster - And introducing his opponent.  Hailing from Los Angeles, California.  She stands 5 feet, 7 inches tall and weighs in at 150lbs.  She is a member of the Pinnacle of Power, she is also the reigning, and defending WMW Hardcore Champion… WMW’s Queen of Extreme… VALORA SALINAS!!!!

[Three big blasts of Pyro explode around the entrance way and 'More Human than Human' by Rob Zombie plays as Valora seems to literally come out through and from the pyro bursts, her Hardcore Championship around her waist as she paces back and forth at the top of the ramp before drawing her 9mm handgun, pointing it into the air and firing 3 shots into the air.]

Jack Gene – JESUS!  Her gun was fully loaded that time!

Bill Hughes – She’s looking to prove a point here, Jack…I’ll tell you one thing… I would not want to be Adam Pyre right now…

[Valora runs down the rampway, letting the fans pat her on the back and shoulders as she moves, stopping in front of John Law and taking off her Hardcore Championship, handing the belt to him before running towards the stairs and jumping into the ring.  Once she's in, a firefighter in full firefighter gear closes and locks the cage door, backing away quickly..]

Jack Gene – Well… here we go… Valora and Pyre II.  Two Hardcore legends about to battle once more.

Bill Hughes – Match of the Year, right here… Hardcore moment of the Year at the very least…

[The bell rings and Valora and Adam Pyre walk up to the center of the ring, staring at each other.  They exchange words and Adam Pyre swings but Valora ducks coming up with a grin on her face.  Adam swings again and Valora ducks again laughing and shaking her head.  Adam Growls and throws a flurry of punches and Valora ducks dodges and weaves through them before coming up and slapping Adam Pyre in the face.  The crowd laughs a bit as Adam Pyre charges forward but Valora takes him down with a drop toe hold, turning it into an STF.  Adam Pyre cries out in pain as Valora cinches the hold in, holding it for a few second before releasing him and slamming the back of his head with her fist before getting to her feet, pulling Adam Pyre up with her but he counters with a low punch below the belt and jumps to his feet, whipping Valora hard towards the rope yelling out "B & E!" as he follows her in nailing her with his big boot just as she slams back first into the barb wire, the big boot sending her up and over the barbed wire ring rope, cutting into her back as Valora topples over the ropes, into the burning wall of the cage and is quickly sandwiched between the ring ropes and the flaming cage as Adam Pyre grabs the barbed wire rope and presses his foot into Valora's body holding her back to the cage as she screams in agony.]

Jack Gene – OH MY GOD!  You can smell the flesh on Valora’s back being seared!  This is sick!

Bill Hughes – Adam’s making a mistake though… the heat is going to sterilize and cauterize the cuts on her back.

[Adam finally releases the hold and plays to crowd being booed heavily as Valora rolls into the ring putting herself out and writhing in agony, smoke rising from her body as she slowly tries to get to her feet.  Adam sees her and charges forward, picking her up by her hair and hollering into her face as he slaps her.]

Adam Pyre – GOD DAMN IT!  You want face me in MY match!?  You want Deathcore?!

[Adam Pyre pulls Valora to her feet and jumps into the air spinning Valora around and dropping her forehead first onto the barbed wire roping with a hurrancanrana before running back and then bouncing off the ropes on the other side running up and jumping, landing on Valora's back driving her further into the ropes.  He gets up and walks towards the door, calling for the door to be opened.  Valora stays on the barbed wire, blood pouring down from her forehead as she finally pulls herself off, her face has a good amount of blood on it.  The door is slowly opened and Adam Pyre starts to head towards it when Valora runs forward screaming out and nails him with a dropkick, sending him face first into the burning cage.  As Adam Pyre hollers in pain, Valora hooks him from behind and takes him down with a Tazzmission hold into a suplex, throwing Pyre with such force he lands face first as Valora then jumps up to the top turnbuckle and leaps into the air, landing on Pyre's head with his double stomp, driving his face further into the mat.]

Jack Gene – My God!  Look at Valora’s face… she’s definitely wearing the proverbial crimson mask now..

Bill Hughes – Oh wow… nice one there JR… got any other old cliches to bore us with?

[In the ring, Valora struggles to her feet and kicks Adam Pyre for good measure to keep him down before looking around and smirking.  She then drops down and gives Adam Pyre the you cant see me gesture before bouncing off the ropes and walking up to him, pausing to make the motion of wiping dirt off her shoulder before dropping her fist square on Adam Pyre's face, which is now bleeding as well.  She starts to pull Adam Pyre to his feet but Pyre counters, taking her to the mat hard with his patented F-bomb move.  Pyre then gets back to his feet, shaking his head and moving over to one of the turnbuckles, dropping to the ground and carefully wiggling under the ropes to reach under the ring, grimacing at the heat and flames licking at his back as he pulls up a pair of special gloves which he then puts on and holds out onto the cage, the gloves quickly igniting and Pyre turns to Valora as she gets back to her feet, a wicked gleam in his eyes as he runs up and punches Valora in the gut with one of his now flaming fists, causing Valora to cry out in pain, before Pyre nails her across the face with a right cross, before hitting a left uppercut to her body and finally hitting her in the throat with his right hand, sending Valora staggering backwards trying to prevent her clothes from igniting.  As she staggers backwards, Adam winds up and goes for the big punch throwing all his force into the punch but Valora rebounds, catching his fist in mid air as she grimaces in pain, the flames burning her hand before she removes her flask of alcohol from her breasts.. Adam's eyes widen in fear as she takes a swig and spits the alcohol into the fire, which roars to life, sending Adam Pyre running around the ring totally engulfed in flame.  Valora, meanwhile withdraws her hand, severely burned and takes her bandanna off wrapping it around her injured hand as she drops to a knee.  Adam Pyre rolls around on the ground, finally extinguishing himself, laying on the mat exhausted and hurt.]

Jack Gene – Will someone stop the damn match before these two kill themselves?!  For the love of all that’s Holy!

Bill Hughes – This is an awesome match!  Look at the expressions on their faces!  Neither one is laughing… both competitors have passed their thresholds and are in obvious pain!  We’re seeing a first here!

[Valora finally stands up, her left hand heavily wrapped by now and trembling in pain from the damaged nerve endings.  She takes a few steps towards Adam Pyre who all of a sudden jumps to his feet and charges forward, nailing Valora with his Spear, driving her back into the barbed wire ropes where he quickly climbs on the ropes and hammers his fists down on Valora's face before hopping down and pulling her off, walking her to the turnbuckle, setting her up on the top and climbing up after her, looking to the barbed wire ropes with an evil grin.  He then slams Valora face first into the cage pole and then tosses her off of the top turnbuckle gut first onto the top rope before jumping off, hitting his Killing Curse on top of Valora, driving her further onto the ropes as he crumples to the mat and Valora is driven onto the ropes, falling over, getting all tangled up in the barbed wire, blood running from multiple wounds on her body.]

Jack Gene – I think I’m going to be sick….

Bill Hughes – What?  You can’t be…

[The camera cuts briefly to Jack Gene as he ducks behind the desk, vomiting as he's overcome by the sheer violence and brutality of the match.]

Bill Hughes – AWWWW Man!  Not Cool!

[In the ring, Adam Pyre gets up and sees Valora struggling to free herself and smirks evilly hopping back before leaping forward, hitting Valora with a Six Minute Miracle, freeing her from the ropes and sending her into the burning cage once more, causing her to cry out in pain before rolling back into the ring.  Adam Pyre walks towards Valora and prepares to finish her off but then hesitates, looking back to the door, then to Valora, then to the door again, before stomping the mat in frustration and turning to the door, calling for it to be open.  The door opens and Adam Pyre peeks his head out and is about to step onto the stairs when out of nowhere Valora grabs him, pulling him back into the ring, Adam Pyre having an almost desperate look on his face as he tries to jump out but Valora pulls him back in.  The door closes as Valora pulls Adam Pyre into the ring, kicking him in the gut and taking him to the mat hard with a Pedigree.  Valora gets up and quickly slips on her brass knuckles as Adam Pyre gets to his feet.  She then turns around and nails him with a discus punch sending a spray of blood from his face along with a tooth as Pyre topples to the mat.]

Jack Gene – My God!  I think she just broke Adam Pyre’s nose!

Bill Hughes – I think so too!  This is a great match!  Now they’re both bleeding fairly badly… let’s see who drops first..

[Valora drops to a knee momentarily, but then shakes her head, gritting her teeth as she stands up, smirking as she waits for Pyre to get up.  Pyre rolls over to being on all fours and Valora sprints forward, connecting with her punt kick to the side of Adam Pyre's head, sending him flying into the barbed wire.  Seeing him down.  Valora turns and calls for the cage door to open and watches as it's slowly opened.  She makes her way towards the door but as she steps through, Adam Pyre leaps up and grabs Valora by her hair, slowly dragging her back into the ring as the door closes once more.  Adam Pyre kicks Valora in the gut and lifts her up onto his shoulders, grinning as he prepares for his move.  but as he throws her up for his version of the Go to Sleep, Valora counters, spinning him around and planting him with a tornado DDT as the crowd cheers and chants Valora's name, neither wrestler moving on the mat.]

Jack Gene – This match won’t end!  There’s blood all over the ring!  You have to ask yourself just how much longer these two can go firstly and secondly, no matter who wins this match, you have to ask yourself… who in the WMW will be crazy enough to fight either of these two for the Hardcore Championship?

Bill Hughes – Well, Jack… this is what Hardcore is all about.  How bad do you want the title?  What are you willing to sacrifice to get it?  We’re seeing just how badly Valora and Adam Pyre want to be Hardcore Champion right here tonight.  Valora is on the WWR’s top wrestler list in 2 different spots, after all!  She’s currently number 7 on the women’s list and is at number 24 with Mr. Videogame on the Tag Team list.  Adam Pyre is a Deathcore icon striving to prove he’s still a threat, and I think he has more then proved that thus far in this match.

[In the ring, both wrestlers slowly get to their feet and just stand toe to toe trading punches, both of them barely able to stand, finally as Adam Pyre throws a punch, Valora ducks under it, running behind Pyre and as he turns around, Valora jumps into the air and nails him with the Trouble in Paradise kick, again sending both wrestlers crashing to the mat where neither moves for a few seconds, before Valora rolls over onto her back, laughing a bit as she reaches into her pocket and pulls out her trademark box cutter as the crowd goes wild.  She crawls over to Adam Pyre and positions herself in a mounted position over him, raining down a couple of stiff right hands right to Pyre's forehead before grabbing his left arm and slicing a long gash into it with her box cutter, causing Adam Pyre to roll and thrash around the mat in pain as Valora fights to her feet and holds the bloody box cutter up in the air to a cheering crowd.  As she does so, Adam Pyre again crawls to a corner and reaches under the ring, digging around for a few seconds before withdrawing a barbed wire 2x4 which he ignites from the cage, turning to Valora as he creeps up behind her before swinging hard, nailing Valora in the middle of her back.  Valora cries out in pain and he swings again, hitting Valora in the back once more and dropping her to her knees as he winds up and swings one final time, the 2x4 breaking in half as the hits her back one final time, sending Valora toppling to the mat, where she writhes in pain, trying to get to her feet.  Adam Pyre pulls her to her feet, hooking her into a front facelock before slamming his knee repeatedly into her face before lifting her up in a vertical suplex maneuver... holding  her there for a good 15 seconds before slamming her to the mat hard.]

Jack Gene – What a display of power there by Adam Pyre!  That vertical suplex had to really take a lot out of Valora’s tank.

Bill Hughes – I’d say the flaming barbed wire 2×4 hurt more then a vertical suplex there, Jack.

[In the ring, Pyre makes the 'it's over' motion and calls for the cage to be opened.  He starts towards it as they open the door but Valora grabs his foot and as he turns around, she jumps up nailing him with a European Uppercut, which sends him staggering back a couple of steps and lets Valora get to her feet.  Pyre looks at Valora in abject disbelief as he shakes his head.]

Pyre (Yelling) - God Damn it!  Stay down you crazy bitch!  You wanna die?!

Jack Gene – signs of frustration here from Adam Pyre.. not that I blame him… it does, at times seem like Valora just can’t be beaten.

Bill Hughes – It’s like the more you hurt her the stronger she gets… she’s like a sexy weird version of the Hulk!

Jack Gene – Actually, if you wanted to do comic book characters, I’d say Valora is closer to the Punisher than anyone else.

[In the ring, both wrestlers stare at each other for long moments, each one trying to figure out what they have to do to keep the other down long enough to escape the cage.  The camera zooms in on Valora's face, now totally covered in blood and then switches to Adam Pyre's face, also covered in blood as the two exchange words while on the outside of the ring, Trauma nurses arrive to back up the Paramedics, both groups actively campaigning Sault St. Marie to stop the match.  Sault St. Marie watches the ring intently, studying both of his wrestlers in the ring. As they stare at each other the two walk forward and lock up, jockeying for position.  Pyre tries to hit Valora with a knee to the midsection, but Valora blocks with her own leg, then counters with a knee to Pyre's midsection, slipping behind him and locking in the Tazzmision, locking it in tight as she screams out, tightening her arms around Adam Pyre's neck as she cuts off his oxygen supply, slowly taking him to the mat, locking her legs around his ribs to further drive the air out of him.  Adam Pyre flails around, trying desperately to escape but his movements quickly become slower, slower... slower until finally he stops moving.  Valora leaves the hold on for a few more seconds to be sure and then nods to herself as she starts to crawl across the ring, calling for the cage to be opened.  The door is opened and as Pyre lies unconscious in the ring, Valora slowly crawls under the ropes and through the door, falling face first into a heap on the floor outside the cage.  The bell rings as Pier and Law signal escape from the cage.]

Jack Gene – Valora did it!  She beat Adam Pyre in a match Pyre invented and made famous!  This woman is unbeatable!!!

Bill Hughes – That’s my girl!!!

Wayne Inkster – Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner and still WMW Hardcore Champion….VALORA SALINAS!!!!!

[Valora is handed the Hardcore belt by Sault St Marie and she clutches it to her chest, barely conscious herself as she is attended to by paramedics and trauma nurses, who quickly secure her to a stretcher and wheel her
