Andre Damone (c) vs. Benny Martinez

[Mister Mirage]

"The following contest is a Honor Rules match, and is for the International Honor Championship! Introducing first..."

Honor Rules Match!
- 3 out of 5 falls
- Ring-outs, or exiting the ring, are instant falls. Both feet have to touch the floor to constitute a fall.
- Disqualification counts as a fall, instantly ends the match, and can lead to title change.

I want my MTV

The lights dim down as the opening cords of Money For Nothing by Yazz and Jussie Smollett hit the PA. Multicolored laser lights flash in patterns on the stage. The camera moves away from the stage

Consumers, silver spooners
It's nothin', we get money for it

When the camera returns, Andre Damone is standing on the stage, the lights forming a circle around him, looking out into the arena. He's switched up his look, wearing blue and gold tights with a matching vest and no shirt underneath. He raises the GWA International Honor championship belt in his right hand as the fans cheer

Commas and zeros, that's the way we do it
We make it work in this economy
Rollin' dinero, pockets stay polluted
Money is dirty and we don't play clean
We chasin' paper, run, run, hurry, move it
Get out the way if you ain't 'bout that green
Intensive labor, taxes are included
Ain't nothin' in this effin' world for free

"Making his way to the ring, from St. Louis Missouri, weighing in at 225 pounds, he is the GWA International Honor champion, Andre Damone!"

As the hook begins, Andre begins to make his way down to the ring

(Move that work, move that work)
Commercialize, commercialize
(Get that work, get that work)
To advertise, to advertise
(Make it work, make it work)
Look mom, I'm on TV
(Gotta make it work, make it work)
Hi mom, I'm on TV

(Move that work, move that work)Commercialize, commercialize
(Get that work, get that work)
To advertise, to advertise
(Make it work, make it work)
Look mom, I'm on TV
(Gotta make it work, make it work)
Hi mom, I'm on TV

Halfway down the ramp, he stops, the title in hand, then dashes the rest of the way and slides into the ring. He pops right up and hits the corner, raising the title again.

Andre steps down and removes the vest. He hands the title off to the referee and waits in a corner for his opponent to arrive

Ileso by Control Machete Resounds thru the speaker system. The crows had no idea who this kid was. To them he was a nobody. Benny Martinez walked out wearing a hoodie from his indy days "004 Martinez" in the back. He rushed down the aisle. The slick hip hop beats, making the wrestler nod his head.

Arranca, vamos, como veamos: damos
Cuando llegamos extendiendo manos
Sonriendo estamos, locos quedamos
Somos trece de familia y sonamos
Cuida que en nada dependas de exceso
Frena el sentido si es de más travieso
Ser transparente te transporta ileso
No se fracasa si existe un comienzo
Ha, ¿Qué quieres hacer?
Del inicio a la meta existen problemas comunes
Preguntas y respuestas revueltas
Cuestión de ver la correcta


And his opponent from Ciudad Juarez Chihahua weighing at 195 lbs The Juarez Miracle, Benny Martinez!!!

No se fracasa si existe un comienzo
Ser transparente te transporta ileso
No se fracasa si existe un comienzo
Ser transparente te transporta ileso

Benny pulled down the hood and took of his hoodie throwing it off the ring. The music fades into silence, with a bright smile realizing his first match would be a championship match.fixing his trunks, and elbow pads he looked at the honor champion he sure was big and heavier than him. Waiting for the bell to ring.  

[Zarel Damone]

The bell rings and Andre begins to circle the ring a bit, cautiously observing his challenger before coming in and offering a lock up  

[Zarel Damone]

(auto hit)

Andre goes into the lockup with Benny and quickly attempts to pull him into a side headlock  

[Ironwolf94]

Benny froze intimidated by the champion so early, as soo as he realized he was caught up in the side headlock. Struggling he wasn't so strong but he sure was fast that was his best heaping against bigger opponents.  

[Zarel Damone]

Andre has things going his way in the early parts, but that can change easily. He attempts to switch from the side headlock by taking Benny's arm and pull him into a standing hammerlock  

[Ironwolf94]

Benny grunts as he tapped on hi s own shoulder, showing he was in absolute pain. The champion is indeed a tough opponent. Benny tried to duck under his opponent's arm to free himself from the hammer lock and counter with a wrist lock. If successful Benny would follow by getting closer to the ropes for a rope walk bounce armdrag.  

[Zarel Damone]

Andre was feeling the new guy out. Had to find his strengths and weaknesses. Benny is quick, switching to the wrist lock before pulling him to the ropes. Andre finds himself launched across the ring with the armdrag. Andre hits the mat and rolls, coming up to a knee in front of the opposite ropes  

[Zarel Damone]

(auto recover)

Andre gets to his feet again, having a good feel for the speed of his challenger now. He circles, looking for an opportunity to shoot in and catch Benny for a rear waistlock takedown  

[Ironwolf94]

Benny was still dumbfounded he managed to takedown the champion earlier you could tell he was green to the american style. Benny tried to get close to the champion in hopes of landing a strike. But he was quickly taken down by the waistlock ina classic college wrestling fashion. Benny grunts in pain as he could feel the champion's weight pressing down on him.  

[Zarel Damone]

With the challenger now grounded, Andre attempts to transition to a grounded side headlock, more than willing to wear the newcomer down to keep that speed advantage out of the equation
